Chapter 79: Come on

Upon first hearing it, it was clear that the guitar was out of tune and hadn’t been used in a long time. Zhou Mushi opened his phone and downloaded a tuning app, tuning the guitar’s notes. He sat on the bamboo mat and slowly began to play a tune.

To be frank, he didn’t have much talent or expertise in music. He had bought the guitar on a whim and learned a few songs he could play reasonably well.

Playing the guitar was a form of leisure, but when someone sat next to you and listened carefully, especially if you happened to like that person, you would always strive to play better.

Jin Yang didn’t understand the guitar, but luckily Zhou Mushi played well and the music was always enjoyable.

The easy and cheerful melody poured out from his fingertips, as refreshing as the guitarist himself.

At the end of the song, Jin Yang rewarded him with a purple yam glutinous rice ball and a grape-flavored soda.

Zhou Mushi was also a person who didn’t think much. When he was presented with snacks and drinks, his eyes lit up. He didn’t even think about the fact that he had just ordered them with his hard-earned money.

In Zhou Mushi’s hand was a beverage bottle, while Jin Yang poured the other half into a transparent glass that looked like beautiful red wine, except with bubbles. His eyes lowered as he held the glass, taking a sip.

Zhou Mushi stared at the purple-red liquid in the glass as it flowed down Jin Yang’s lips, down his throat, and into his slightly undulating chest… He was very close to him, and could even feel his breath, carrying a grape aroma that made him feel a little dizzy, despite just drinking a soft drink.

His blurred eyes traced the contours of Jin Yang’s chest and abdominal muscles through his white T-shirt, and he began to long for the feeling of his hands touching them at night.

Zhou Mushi shook his head and quickly took a bite of watermelon to clear his mind.

Jin Yang sat beside him, silently drinking, looking like a decent person, but why did he have such thoughts?

He felt very conflicted inside. What was wrong with him? He was thinking of someone’s body in broad daylight.

But, such a good opportunity should not be missed. If someone else took the opportunity, it would be a shame, so he might as well take advantage of it himself.

“What are you looking at, Mushi?” The speaker adjusted the collar of his shirt, revealing a beautiful collarbone.

Zhou Mushi drank some water and avoided eye contact guiltily. He mumbled, “I’m just thinking about the cooperation.”

Jin Yang frowned and checked the time on his phone. “Hmm, I’ll turn on the computer later, and we’ll work on it together.”

Zhou Mushi smiled awkwardly and replied, “Okay.”

Snap! Boom! Boom!

Jin Yang looked up at the dark, rainy sky and then at the somewhat stiff person next to him. He silently got up and packed up the empty food containers.

Zhou Mushi quietly glanced at Jin Yang, who was sitting at the desk and earnestly working, like a good student studying in school, making him feel a little itchy.

In fact, Jin Yang was not doing anything special, just like before, he was organizing the materials he would use tomorrow after finishing his meal.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Mushi completely lost the feeling of being pleased like an old father watching his own son study diligently. Instead, various pixelated movies automatically played in his mind.

A student-teacher movie, with the faces blurred out, played out on the desk… even the folding fan in his hand seemed to transform into a handy tool.

“Mushi, come take a look at this proposal for our collaboration.”

Ah~ that voice is really nice to listen to! Wait, did he call me?

“Oh, I’m coming.”

Zhou Mushi immediately pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, putting on a serious attitude and carefully analyzing the proposal in front of him.

With a serious expression on his face but feeling bitter inside, he wanted to have some fun with the person, but the person only wanted to work with him. What kind of situation was this?

“Mushi.”

“Hmm? I didn’t quite understand. This is actually about the downstream company’s data, uh…”

“Reward.”

Zhou Mushi licked his lips and still felt the warmth and softness that had just been left on them from someone else. He calmly looked at the light-colored chair, the black pen, the dark yellow pages of the book, and the person sitting on the chair flipping through the book without any emotional fluctuation. He took the pen from the person’s hand and pinched their chin before kissing them back.

When asked what was so good about Jin Yang, Zhou Mushi couldn’t quite put his finger on it. It seemed like everything about him was good.

Despite his tough attitude, the kiss he left was gentle. He slowly pressed onto the lips before gently sucking on them.

Then he opened his mouth and said seriously, “Hmph, did I ask you to give me a reward? Am I, Zhou Mushi, the kind of person who expects to be repaid for every small favor? Reciprocity is important, and I can’t take advantage of you.”

Jin Yang, whose muscles had stiffened in his seat, smiled and looked at him. Zhou Mushi regretted it a bit. Jin Yang’s gaze didn’t seem like that of a good person; it seemed like he wanted to put him on the dining table, sharpen the knives and forks, and eat him little by little.

To be honest, he was a bit cowardly.

All of the tricks and scheming he had used in the past seemed to have vanished completely at this moment, leaving him staring blankly at the other person’s smiling face as Jin Yang undid the two buttons on his shirt.

In the past, the ancients said that one must study hard to achieve success, and that getting married and adding fragrance to the red sleeves of one’s wife was also a good thing to pursue. If a person studying is accompanied by a distracting friend, naturally they will not be able to focus on their studies.

Jin Yang was not blind; his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he naturally knew what Zhou Mushi was thinking.

However, there was a saying that he thought was deeply true, “Genuine feelings may not be enough to sustain a relationship, and that sometimes it takes more than just emotions to keep a person’s affection or loyalty.”

He had to make Zhou Mushi remember this teasing, to whet his appetite so that it would be delicious when it was eaten.

Therefore, when Zhou Mushi was confused and fascinated, and eagerly touched his chest muscles, Jin Yang patted his head like a son and said, “Be good, go take a bath and sleep. You have to work tomorrow, and I’ll see if there’s anything else to tidy up.”

Damn it! No matter how good his manners were, at this moment, Zhou Mushi couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

With a “slap!” sound, the notebook was closed, and this innocent gentleman was dragged onto the bed.

Zhou Mushi felt that this was a common plot in the works of Pu Songling. A scholar who buried himself in studying always got seduced by a beautiful female ghost or a charming fox spirit. And now, he was playing the role of a female ghost and a fox spirit, working hard to seduce Jin Yang.

“Do you really want to keep working at your desk, sir?” He twisted the thin fabric in his hand that covered the person’s chest and asked softly.

Jin Yang lay beneath him, raised his head, and leaned close to his ear, his warm breath blowing into Zhou Mushi’s itchy ear, “Since you have left the desk, then let Zhou Gongzi do as he pleases.”
