Chapter 28: King of Jealousy

　　Mom’s attitude softened.
　　To Chi Song, nothing in the world could be more splendid than this. So when he ran over to the hospital to visit his little nephew with an ecstatic expression, even Chi Yang asked whether he had met some happy occasion, and why was he that overjoyed.
　　Chi Song smiled, causing his peach blossom eyes to become curves. “Am I? Is it that obvious?”
　　Chi Yang: “…”
　　Song Zhihuai smiled as he held Chi Song’s hand. “It’s nothing. It’s just that he drew a Yoto Hime.”
　　Chi Yang: “…”
　　
　　Chi Yang thought, then Song Zhihuai, why are you also smiling so f*cking happily.
　　
　　The gay interaction between Chi Song and Song Zhihuai in their gay atmosphere was broken by Father Chi, who came back after buying some breakfast.
　　Father Chi had a cautious and unsocial temperament. Upon meeting Song Zhihuai, he was actually even more nervous than Song Zhihuai himself. He twisted his hands and stood by the bed for quite some time before politely greeting, “You’ve come.”
　　When Song Zhihuai stood up, letting Father Chi sit, Father Chi didn’t sit down and instead said awkwardly, “Sit, sit. You’re Little Chi’s boss.”
　　When Chi Song heard his father say this, he actually felt himself start to blush first.
　　
　　Once, the two had nothing to do and stayed at home and role-played.
　　Song Zhihuai wore a standard three-piece wool suit, as he pressed Chi Song beneath his body. As he ambiguously curled Chi Song’s hair around his finger, he said, “The boss wants to perform unspoken rules with you. Is there anything you want to say?”
　　Chi Song shyly asked in response, “Will the boss increase my salary?”
　　Song Zhihuai thought for a moment, before coldly saying in a evil landlord-esque manner, “Your salary cannot be increased, but there will be an employee benefit that only you will be able to receive.”
　　Very soon, Chi Song received the welfare distributed personally by the boss. Plenty of it.
　　Chi Song was moved to tears. He said, no more, no more, I’m willing to fight for the boss for free for the rest of my life.
　　
　　Chi Song had many experiences like this, to the extent that when he heard the word “boss,” he had a physiological reaction.
　　Father Chi and Song Zhihuai declined each other for a long time before finally sitting down one after another.
　　After awkwardly exchanging a few words, Song Zhihuai discovered that his respected father-in-law was indeed not eloquent. Luckily, a work call came in. After Song Zhihuai expressed his apologies, he went out to take the call.
　　
　　As soon as Song Zhihuai left, the almost tangible awkwardness in the air seemed to ease a few degrees.
　　On the side, Chi Yang whispered into Chi Song’s ear, “Brother, when I brought Meimei back home at that time, Dad also responded the same way. As soon as Meimei sat down, Dad consecutively asked her ‘how old are you this year’ thrice and ‘do you drink tea’ twice.”
　　Father Chi glared at Chi Yang embarrassedly. He deliberated a bit on his next words before turning to say to Chi Song, “Little Song, I have a matter here that might be a bit troublesome. I don’t know if it’s convenient or not for you…”
　　Chi Song said, “Dad, you can just tell me.”
　　Father Chi said, “After Meimei became pregnant, she stayed at her parents’ home most of the time to nurse her body. Now that there’s a grandson, your mother and I must of course be the ones to look after her. But what do we do about Big Loyal? Although we’ve never missed a vaccine, what if he brings back some disease. It’s not good for the child… He’s lived in our house for so many years. If he’s given to someone else, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get used to it. Your mother and I also can’t bear to do that, so…”
　　At this point, Father Chi paused strangely for a moment before continuing, “Talk it over with Chief Song, and ask if you can bring Big Loyal back with you to take care of with Handsome Song?”
　　
　　Chi Song said very happily, “Sure.”
　　As soon as his words fell, Father Chi showed a complicated expression that said “so you two really were living together.”
　　Chi Song: “…” He suspected that he had been tricked by his own father.
　　
　　Father Chi handed Chi Song the vaccine certificate that had been prepared a week in advance before leaving once again to get Meimei some hot water.
　　And Song Zhihuai, who had just finished the call, was met face-to-face in the corridor with Father Chi, who was carrying the thermos.
　　
　　Father Chi smiled reservedly at Song Zhihuai before bringing up the matter of Big Loyal Li.
　　Of course, Song Zhihuai consented readily.
　　After two conversations with Song Zhihuai, Father Chi finally discovered that the “Chief Song” before him was pretty good to talk to.
　　He started up a conversation, and exhorted over and over that Big Loyal Li liked to eat canned beef, but he didn’t like to drink water. He had Song Zhihuai keep in mind to boil the canned beef in water before feeding him.
　　
　　Song Zhihuai naturally agreed readily and carefully noted that down.
　　After Father Chi finished talking about the cat, he again faced Song Zhihuai silently for a long time.
　　The two silently gazed at each other. Song Zhihuai also couldn’t really bear this awkward atmosphere. Just as he was about to slip away, pretending that he had some other matters to attend to, he saw Father Chi seem to summon up an entire lifetime’s worth of courage and tell him, “… You have to treat them well.”
　　Song Zhihuai was stunned. He soon understood. “Uncle, I will.”
　　
　　Father Chi’s increased courage lasted for a few seconds before once again returning to its original form. Carrying the thermos, he left, step by step.
　　
　　Chi Song had seen his little nephew and taken Song Zhihuai to see his parents, so he and Song Zhihuai carried the cat cage and boarded the train that would return to the capital.
　　After they handed the sound asleep Big Loyal Li over to the service staff, Chi Song and Song Zhihuai also arrived at their own soft sleeper.
　　Currently, it wasn’t a busy travel season, so the two people smoothly bought four tickets and occupied the entire sleeping car. It made for a quiet scene.
　　After Chi Song boarded the train, he had been constantly swiping on his phone.
　　At first, Song Zhihuai thought that he was reading scripts. But then, Chi Song laughed out loud while holding his phone.
　　Song Zhihuai asked, “…What are you looking at?”
　　Chi Song replied elatedly, “My Little Huaihuai.”
　　Song Zhihuai: “…” Huh?
　　He moved his head over to take a look, and found that on the screen was that SSR Yoto Hime. Chi Song had changed her name to “Little Huaihuai.”
　　Chi Song just couldn’t get enough of looking at her. “How can she look this good?”
　　Song Zhihuai: “…”
　　He thought sourly, you said just yesterday morning that you wanted only me.
　　
　　The jealous Mr. Song had changed beyond recognition.
　　
　　Chi Song was currently sitting cross-legged on the lower bunk, joyfully bonding with his Yoto Hime, when a warm embrace attacked from behind, encircling him in its arms.
　　Chi Song’s height was enough for him to turn up his nose amongst southerners, but it wasn’t worth mentioning in front of Mr. Song. Song Zhihuai easily clamped Chi Song between his legs as he looped them around Chi Song. One foot was placed on the side of Chi Song’s waist, and his knee was bent, pressed against his arm. His left leg easily encircled a piece of its territory, confining Chi Song’s range of activity and trapping him inside.
　　He placed his chin on Chi Song’s hair whorl in satisfaction and rubbed delightedly a few times.
　　
　　Chi Song was caught off guard and completely wrapped into his embrace. He made a low “mph” sound. “Zhihuai?”
　　Song Zhihuai didn’t let go.
　　Now, Chi Song was a little panicked. He put down his phone and said hurriedly, “This is a public place…”
　　Song Zhihuai asked in response, “A public place. Isn’t it exciting?”
　　Chi Song panicked and rubbed back a few times, trying to bargain with him. “Uh, how about we go back and do it? Here, here isn’t good…”
　　Of course Song Zhihuai wouldn’t be so perverse as to reach this step. He still had the most basic morals.
　　Though, when he saw Chi Song’s panic-stricken look, Mr. Song expressed that his evil desires had been greatly satisfied.
　　He used his lips to tease Chi Song’s earlobe a few times before continuing to play his dirty tricks. “Only the two of us are here. There’s no one else present.”
　　
　　After he finished, he paused and said, “No Liu Che, no Handsome Song, no Li Qiuli, no Lu Yuan, no Cai Qingqing, no Zhu Ziqi, and no photographer girl.” After listing out a string of names, he gnashed his teeth and said,“…Of course, there’s also no Yoto Hime.”
　　Chi Song froze. “Y-You remember them all?”
　　
　　Chi Song had always thought that because Song Zhihuai had mixed around in this circle for so long and experienced many things, he would be a bit more reasonable.
　　Chi Song only knew of his jealousy of Liu Che. Chi Song had even been a little depressed over it for some time. He never thought that Song Zhihuai would now list out all the rumored partners he had had, in a manner smooth to the point Song Zhihuai seemed like someone who had studied crosstalking for N years and was currently listing out vegetables.
　　Zhu Ziqi was the official CP given to him by the company, so the two often interacted on Weibo. But to be honest, it was all hype. Recently, the relationship between Zhu Ziqi and the MC Chen Yi in “The Law of God” was getting better and better. With the intention of undoing her CP with Chi Song, the company also worked hard to cooperate and strove to turn the previously issued CP sweetness into an “Auld Lang Syne”.
　　Li Qiuli had originally acted in the same drama as him. With the bonus of their glorious childhood memories, as well as the mutual resentment shown in the recording of “The Law of God” from before, quite a few people supported the Chi Song and Li Qiuli CP. Not only that, on LOF and Weibo, several fanfictions about the two appeared.
　　Cai Qingqing acted as rivals with him in “Brilliant Starlight”, and their relationship on the surface was also very good. Naturally, the audience would support the pair. As for the French photographer girl, the two had chatted together congenitally while they were shooting the cover page and exchanged contact information after. These past two days, the French girl had even shared the good-looking photos of her and her boyfriend with Chi Song.
　　As for Lu Yuan, he was a married man who had offered himself up. He didn’t count.
　　
　　Looking back, Chi Song unexpectedly produced the illusion that “he actually seemed to be very slag-like, attracting admirers left and right.”
　　He also never expected that while Song Zhihuai didn’t express it out loud, he actually remembered everything so clearly in his heart.
　　
　　Chi Song called for Song Zhihuai with a bit of a guilt conscience. “Zhihuai…”
　　Song Zhihuai tightened his arms around Chi Song’s waist and whispered, “…Now, it’s just the two of us. I just want to hug you like this for a while. Don’t move.”
　　Chi Song’s waist immediately turned soft at Song Zhihuai’s magnetic voice. He leaned in Song Zhihuai’s embrace like a big cat and said obediently, “Okay.”
　　
　　But facts proved that the words of the corrupt bourgeoisie were not credible.
　　After half an hour, Song Zhihuai faced Chi Song’s struggles and said especially shamelessly, “Don’t move, I won’t go in.”
　　After another half hour, Song Zhihuai’s suit was wrapped around Chi Song’s waist. With a mask covering his red, burning hot face, he slipped out of the car like a thief an ran towards the bathroom. He even had a pair of underwear in his pocket.
　　…Mr. Song was a big liar.
　　
　　The petty Mr. Song’s jealousy eased. Because he couldn’t light a cigarette after doing it, he simply took out a piece of gum to chew.
　　After a while, the livid little wife finished changing his clothes and ran back, holding a box of tangerines in his hands.
　　The blush on Chi Song’s face hadn’t receded yet, so he looked particularly cute. “…I saw that they were selling these on the car, so I bought a box. Didn’t you like eating tangerines?”
　　
　　Facts showed that eating sweets or tangerines after the event would make the mouth feel particularly sweet.
　　
　　After staying at home for a few weeks and helping Big Loyal Li familiarize himself with his environment, Chi Song carried his luggage as he entered the filming group of the second season of “Brilliant Starlight”.
　　Cai Qingqing, who had come half a day earlier than him, was again placed in the room across from Chi Song’s. When she spotted Chi Song, she smiled and greeted, “Hi, how are you?”
　　Chi Song also smiled at her before bending down to take out a dozen grape-flavored puddings from his luggage.
　　Cai Qingqing’s eyes widened.
　　
　　Chi Song was pretty embarrassed as he said, “Thank you for inviting me to play games last time. I remember that you like to eat this flavor of pudding, right?”
　　Cai Qingqing put away the pudding and asked solemnly, “…Do you still need a girlfriend? The diamond level in Honor of Kings kind.”
　　Chi Song felt pretty bashful. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the door diagonally across him push open, and a man in a gray knitted sweater walk out of the room.
　　When that person and Chi Song met face-to-face, Chi Song was stunned first.
　　“…It’s you?”
