Chapter 34 - Do I Get a Reward?

“It’s the handsome uncle!”

A sharp-eyed child pointed to the second floor and shouted. Ji Naitang turned to look. His fingers strumming the guitar strings paused when he saw Cen Muqi.

Cen Muqi saw that he was discovered, so he walked downstairs and went over to them. Ji Naitang instantly grew nervous. He never expected that he would meet Cen Muqi here.

“Why are you here, CEO Cen?”

“My mom grew up here, so I came here to take a look. What about you?”

Although the dean had told him, he still asked.

Ji Naitang truthfully replied, “My brother was adopted from here.”

“Naitang gege, do you know this handsome uncle ~ ”

A child asked innocently. Ji Naitang didn’t know how to explain his relationship with Cen Muqi, so he smiled and said yes. But Cen Muqi interrupted, “Naitang gege? Handsome uncle? Why are we from different generations? Do I look that old?”

“No, no, no. CEO Cen is just more dignified.”

“It’s fine. I’m your daddy anyway.”

Ji Naitang: “……”

The children didn’t understand their conversation, but they all remembered that this handsome uncle had just given them gifts, so they liked this handsome uncle too.

“Do you want to dance with us, handsome uncle?”

Cen Muqi crouched down to the same height as the child’s. “Okay, but I don’t know how to dance. What should I do?”

“We can teach you.”

Cen Muqi leaned and whispered something in the child’s ear. Ji Naitang looked puzzled. Then the child ran over to him and pulled him over by his hand. “Naitang gege can dance. Naitang gege can teach handsome uncle how to dance.”

“I…… I actually don’t know how to……”

Cen Muqi was still crouching. He looked up at Ji Naitang and smiled. “Naitang gege, I want to dance with you guys. Teach me, okay?”

Ji Naitang’s face turned completely red. It wasn’t because he was shy. It was because he thought that Cen Muqi like this was too cute. He looked serious as he called him “Naitang gege” like the children did. One really couldn’t help but think that it was too sweet.

Cen Muqi raised his hand and wrapped it around Ji Naitang’s pinky. Ji Naitang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered, “…… Okay.”

The dean saw that they knew each other, so she didn’t go over to disturb them and went to do her own things. Cen Muqi said that he wanted to learn how to dance and really seriously learned.

Ji Naitang felt that he was weird. They had clearly done more intimate things, but this kind of hand-touching made him turn redder and his heart beat faster.

Cen Muqi looked very dignified when he didn’t smile, but when he smiled, people involuntarily wanted to get closer to him. He could easily succeed if he wanted to coax someone because he had tried many things to make his depressed mother happy since twelve years ago.

At that time, Ji Naitang had always looked at him from afar. He had sometimes thought how great it would be if Cen Muqi had gone over to coax him. It was from that moment on that he noticed that he actually wanted to live.

Only if he was alive could he see Cen Muqi and wait for Cen Muqi to coax him, even though Ji Naitang knew that there was a very slim chance of this.

But now, this man, whom Ji Naitang could only approach in his dreams, was now standing in front of him. He could touch him as soon as he reached out. How great would it be if this backer and mistress relationship wouldn’t end and if they could always get along like this?

Ji Naitang looked up and secretly blinked to hide the tears in his eyes. In the end, he was really becoming more and more greedy!

“Little Naitang gege, look at me. How’s my dancing?” Cen Muqi shouted.

Ji Naitang came back to his senses and smiled. “Great. CEO Cen is very smart, so of course it’s good.”

Cen Muqi chuckled. “You can call me smart, but I don’t want to replace you ~ ”

Ji Naitang couldn’t help but laugh. Cen Muqi leaned close and asked, “I learned so fast. Do I get a reward?”

Ji Naitang was speechless. “You’re the backer. Why would a backer want a reward ~ ”

Cen Muqi suddenly realized. “Oh, yes. Teacher Ji taught me well, so I should be the one to give a reward.”

Ji Naitang wanted to ask what reward, but Cen Muqi pointed to the front and shouted to the children, “Look over there. There’s a beautiful colorful bird over there.”

The children all looked over. Cen Muqi took the chance to lean over and kiss the corner of Ji Naitang’s eye. Ji Naitang’s eyes couldn’t help but tremble. The tears that he couldn’t hide at the corner of his eye were kissed away and left behind only a warm and sweet heart.
