Mr. Mu, stop bullying Professor Jian.

Jian Zhinian opened his eyes and saw a ray of light shining through the gap in the curtains, bright and dazzling.

He sat up with a start, and the pain in his lower back made him frown. He raised his hand to check the time. It was half past seven.

Soup... too late...

Just as he was about to get out of bed, an arm passed through his waist, laid him down again and held him in his arms.

"No hurry, I don't want to drink soup today."

"Ah? Aren't you in a hurry to go to work?..."

Hearing the familiar hoarse and low voice in his ears, Jian Zhinian couldn't help but miss the warm and broad embrace and shrank into it.

Such a nice morning.

Like a dream.

"It's Saturday."

Mu Qingyuan frowned, somewhat displeased as his sweet dream was disturbed.

He went to bed very late last night.

"Ah, yes."

Jian Zhinian suddenly realized that he was usually at school, and on weekends, he just went home occasionally to see his mother and Nian Nian.

Thinking of this, Jian Zhinian looked at the man beside him with some guilt.

The future is long and hard to pursue.

"Sleep a little longer." Mu Qingyuan hugged the person and closed his eyes again.

At first, Jian Zhinian couldn't sleep because there were too many difficulties and obstacles in his mind... Gradually, he fell asleep in a daze without knowing why.

Perhaps, such an embrace is too warm and comfortable.

When he woke up again, the person next to him was gone, and Jian Zhinian ran out of the room in a hurry.

After seeing that familiar figure in the kitchen, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Qingyuan turned around and saw someone running out barefoot with two buttons on the collar of his pajamas undone. He frowned.

"Go change your clothes and come to eat."

"Okay, come right away."

Jian Zhinian quickly changed into a set of casual clothes. Seeing Mu Qingyuan just bringing out breakfast, he took a few steps forward.

"Let me do it, you go change your clothes too."

Mu Qingyuan did not wear a robe today, but a cotton pajamas with a long shirt and long pants, which made him feel inexplicably warm.

Soon, Mu Qingyuan changed out of his pajamas, and Jian Zhinian put them into the washing machine, and then they had breakfast together.

After breakfast, Jian Zhinian took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes.

When he returned to the living room, Mu Qingyuan was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"Qingyuan, are you free today?"

Jian Zhinian sat down opposite Mu Qingyuan. If Mu Qingyuan was free today, he would like to try to make an appointment with him.

Mu Qingyuan raised his eyes to look at Jian Zhinian, and pushed a document in front of him to the opposite side.

"The lawyer sent me the patent licensing contract this morning. Please take a look at it. You can add the conditions and fees. If you have no objection, I hope you can license the patent to me."

Mu Qingyuan's voice was cold and businesslike.

Jian Zhinian was still a little dazed from the warm breakfast. He took the contract and glanced at it. It was an impeccable standard format, but the terms and remuneration were left blank, leaving him enough space to fill in.

Jian Zhinian picked up the pen, drew a slash in the blank space, and then signed his name.

"I said, free authorization."

When the two contracts returned to Mu Qingyuan's hands again, he read them carefully and then put them away.

"I'm free before 5pm. I'll do whatever you want."

When Jian Zhinian heard the first half of the sentence, his eyes lit up, but after hearing the whole sentence, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

He licked his lips and looked at Mu Qingyuan, a horrible idea forming in his mind.

"Qingyuan, last night..."

Was the tenderness last night, the warmth this morning, and even the charity throughout the day today, all because he agreed to the patent license?

Nothing to do with feelings, just another exchange?

Jian Zhinian felt a sudden pain in his heart, so painful that he felt like he was suffocating.

Mu Qingyuan saw Jian Zhinian's expression change, and seemed to know what he was thinking, but his eyes remained calm. He asked, "What do you want to say?"

Jian Zhinian bit his lip, shook his head and said, "Nothing..."

Can’t ask…

"The weather is nice today, let's go climb Dongyu Mountain..." Jian Zhinian forced a smile, and anticipation returned to his eyes.

"Climbing a mountain?" Mu Qingyuan frowned slightly.

Finally, he agreed: "If you want to go, go ahead."

Jian Zhinian ignored the embarrassment in Mu Qingyuan's eyes and said briskly: "I'll drive today."

Mu Qingyuan handed him the car keys and went back to his room to change into some more casual clothes.

The man had bright eyes and a sharp look. The moment he stepped into the passenger seat, Jian Zhinian suddenly said, "Wait, don't move."

Mu Qingyuan glanced sideways, looking at him in confusion.

Jian Zhinian smiled slightly, twisted his body and supported one knee on the driver's seat, leaned over the operating console, stretched his arm to the co-pilot's seat belt, pulled it, and then buckled it into the buckle.

After finishing, Jian Zhinian did not rush back, but still stayed in front of Mu Qingyuan.

When their auras touched, Jian Zhinian's eyes were as clear as water, and Mu Qingyuan's shadow was reflected in the ripples.

He lowered his head and touched Mu Qingyuan's lips.

"Can I have a kiss?"

Mu Qingyuan's eyes were as deep as the sea, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I've already kissed you, why are you still asking?"

Jian Zhinian didn't move, as if waiting for his answer.

Mu Qingyuan frowned and sighed, "Okay."

Jian Zhinian kissed her again, then he pulled back with a smile on his face, started the car and set off.

Traffic in S City was slightly congested on weekends, but fortunately there were many elevated roads. Jian Zhinian followed the navigation and arrived at the foot of Dongyu Mountain an hour later.

During the weekend, many people came to climb Dongyu Mountain. Jian Zhinian put two bottles of water in the pocket of his down jacket and saw a famous milk tea shop next to the entrance of the scenic area.

He walked beside Mu Qingyuan and asked with a smile: "Would you like a cup of milk tea?"

Milk tea? Why is the line so long?

Mu Qingyuan instinctively wanted to shake his head, but seeing Jian Zhinian's serious expression, he thought he wanted to drink, so he replied; "Have a cup, I'll go queue up."

Jian Zhinian stopped him, pointed him to a place, and said, "I'll go buy it. I have the final say today. You wait for me there."

After saying that, without waiting for Mu Qingyuan's consent, he joined the queue.

Mu Qingyuan stood under the shade of the tree, with an upright posture and a cold temperament, and he attracted a lot of attention.

Jian Zhinian looked back from time to time, and every time he looked back, the person he wanted to see was there.

He smiled and said that this was also good.

Half an hour later, Jian Zhinian trotted over to Mu Qingyuan with two cups of milk tea in his hands.

"Which one do you want? Longjing Spring or Jasmine White?"

Mu Qingyuan picked a cup with white and green cup and said, "Longjingchun."

Jian Zhinian took a sip first, then handed it to Mu Qingyuan: "Longjing tea has a strong flavor. You have good taste. Would you like to try my Jasmine White?"

He handed the Jasmine White in his hand to Mu Qingyuan's mouth.

Mu Qingyuan saw clear and bright expectations in those eyes. He opened his mouth, held the straw, and took a sip: "It's a bit sweet."

"It's sweet, I like sweet things." Jian Zhinian said with narrowed eyes.

"Let's go."

Mu Qingyuan took Jian Zhinian's hand and found a secluded path at the fork in the entrance. The steps on this side were steeper and fewer people walked on it...
