The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

The Song family was shocked by Chu Tiancheng's act of freeloading, but they soon realized it wasn't so strange after all.

During the meal, Song's mother glanced at Chu Tiancheng, then deliberately started chatting with Song Ke, saying, "Ke Ke, do you know what your older brother has been busy with lately?"

Song Ke looked surprised and lifted her head from the bowl to look at her mother.

"Why are you suddenly paying attention to your older brother?"

"Him... well... he's just like that, managing the company and playing around with female celebrities."

The three people who were sitting down choked when they heard what she said.

Chu Tiancheng looked at her strangely, with a mixture of surprise, unfamiliarity, and curiosity, and also a bit of a bias he had somehow developed towards Song Ke, finding her straightforwardness somewhat endearing.

Chu Tiancheng blinked, looked away, picked up a piece of salt and pepper pork rib and put it into Song Ke's bowl. His face was cold, but his words were full of affection.

"Be careful, or Brother Yan will hear you and punish you."

Song Ke said with a smug look, "I'm not making this up."

As Song's mother watched, she deliberately coughed twice to interrupt and said, "I heard from your aunt that your eldest brother brought his girlfriend home a while ago."

"Judging from what she said, it seems like the two of them are planning to settle down."

Song Ke asked curiously, "Who is it?"

She then recalled seeing the woman who had returned with Song Yan last time; she had only vaguely seen her back.

"I don't know either, but from what I heard from your aunt, she seems quite satisfied."

"Actually, your older brother is a bit of a womanizer, but the fact that he brought her home shows that he values ​​her quite a bit."

"If things continue like this, I think we might be able to get married this year."

Song Ke sensed that the tone of the conversation was gradually changing.

Mr. Song also said, "By the way, Tiancheng, has the company been very busy lately?"

Chu Tiancheng replied with a respectful expression, "Fortunately, it's now mid-year, and the projects have basically stabilized. We just need to keep an eye on the execution progress."

Mr. Song hinted, "Yes, I think we'll only have a little free time for these two months. We'll probably forget about it again by the end of the year. If there's anything important, we should make plans for it in these two months, otherwise it will have to be postponed until next year."

Chu Tiancheng listened with a pleased expression, understanding the deeper meaning behind the words. He glanced at Song Ke and said, "Uncle Song is right. I will keep it in mind."

Mr. Song laughed and raised his glass: "Come on, we haven't had much to drink together yet. You used to come to our house to play often, but you were too young to drink back then. By the time you grew up and could drink, our relationship had become distant."

"Come on, since we've run into each other today, have a couple of drinks with your uncle."

Upon hearing this, Song Ke quickly interrupted, "Dad, he's going back to drive later."

Driving under the influence is bad.

Song's mother gave her a fake glare and said, "What are you afraid of? If you drink, you won't go back. It's not like we don't have a place to live."

Before Song Ke could say anything more, her mother gave her a meaningful look, her face saying, "Don't be ungrateful."

Song Ke sighed and could only look at Chu Tiancheng, hoping that he would stop being so shameless and be more sensible.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Tiancheng smiled and said while holding his wine glass, "Uncle is right. It was my oversight. I will definitely come over for a meal more often when I have time."

Mrs. Song laughed even harder: "That's great! You should make yourself at home here and not be shy."

Of course, in the end, regardless of whether Chu Tiancheng was drunk or not, he successfully stayed overnight at the Song family's house.

Song Ke said at the time, "He's not so drunk that he's unconscious, so why not just call a designated driver?"

Mrs. Song objected: "That won't do. What if it's a female designated driver? What if she tries to take advantage of Tiancheng? Even though Tiancheng is a man, good-looking men can be dangerous these days. What if something happens in the middle of the night? How are we going to explain this to the Chu family?"

Song Ke was speechless: "Then should we call Assistant Fang to pick us up?"

Mr. Song said with a righteous expression, "Keke, Assistant Fang has her own life after get off work. Moreover, the Labor Law stipulates the working hours of employees. Unnecessary overtime is an infringement on her rest time, which is immoral."

Song Keke said loudly, "Then I'll drive him home, okay?"

Song's mother said, "Keke, it's not that I'm discriminating against you, but with your skills, you can barely pull up a sober, normal person. If you pull up a drunk man, I'm afraid you two will end up as star-crossed lovers."

"What are you afraid of? Tiancheng is staying in a guest room on the first floor, and you're staying on the third floor. Are you afraid that you won't be able to resist and will go and molest Tiancheng?"

"I molested him?" Song Ke was speechless. "Mom, who is your biological son anyway?"

Song's mother patted her little face: "I said that if Tiancheng had been able to stay here before, you would probably have been so excited that you couldn't sleep all night. What, are you now falling for someone else and wanting to break up with Tiancheng?"

"Let me tell you, don't pick up these bad habits. You can't just flirt and then ignore it."

The next day, when Song Ke went downstairs, she unsurprisingly found only Chu Tiancheng sitting at the dining table.

She walked over and sat down opposite Chu Tiancheng, asking, "Where are my parents?"

Chu Tiancheng smiled at Song Ke and pushed her breakfast towards her, saying, "Your aunt and uncle have gone out."

Song Ke glanced at him, then picked up a steamed bun and started eating.

"Look at you, all smiles, you must find it very comfortable to sleep in my bed?"

Chu Tiancheng watched her eat a small steamed bun in two bites, then reached for a yogurt drink and casually said, "It's okay."

"but…"

Song Ke sipped her drink, lifted her eyelids, and asked, "But what?"

"I think your bed would be more comfortable," Chu Tiancheng teased her deliberately.

"Pfft... um... cough cough cough..." Song Ke almost choked on the mouthful of yogurt she had just drunk, and her eyes were filled with tears from the discomfort.

Chu Tiancheng quickly grabbed a tissue and handed it to her, saying innocently, "Why are you eating so fast?"

After catching her breath for two minutes, Song Ke drank some warm water that Chu Tiancheng handed her, and then she felt her breathing become easier.

"It's all because you talked nonsense."

Chu Tiancheng simply smiled faintly and said, "Yes, that's my fault."

Song Ke felt a strange unease and some confusion.

Why wasn't Chu Tiancheng nice to Song Keke before?

Of course, she wouldn't know that Chu Tiancheng had also lived a second life. In fact, Chu Tiancheng's feelings for Gu Qing weren't really true love; it was probably just an obsession.

That weekend, Jiang Lin returned from filming and invited Song Ke and a few other friends to go out to a bar.

Jiang Lin arrived late, dressed in a very conservative manner. When everyone saw his outfit, all that was visible were his eyes.

"Jiang Lin, what's with your outfit? Who goes to a bar dressed like that?"

"Jiang Lin is a big star now, with tons of female fans."

"By the way, about that magazine shoot you did last time, I bought you 10,000 copies, bro. Don't be too touched, okay?"

Song Ke gave up a seat next to her, and Jiang Lin sat down, took off his mask, hat and scarf with a speechless expression, and then rolled his eyes at the person buying magazines.

"That's enough! You bought it, but don't look at it anymore or spread it around. If people laugh at me, I'll beat you up."

"Hey hey hey, haven't seen you in a while, you've gotten even fiercer. Your brother backed you up, and you're not even grateful? You're heartless."

"Brother Fang, stop teasing Jiang Lin. Leave the kid his underwear," Song Ke said with a smile, handing Jiang Lin a glass of wine.
