He is Too Stingy, This Sand Sculpture Cannon Fodder

Meeting with a love rival…

After Shu You finished speaking, he turned around and pointed at Lu Chenbi with a serious expression, saying, “Lu Chenbi, now that everyone is here, let’s talk it out.”

Lu Chenbi was bewildered: what talk? About what? What is going on?

Who is his love rival?

Shu You sighed softly and said, “It’s not embarrassing that you like Lin Mingxu. Why can’t you be brave for love just once?”

Lu Chenbi was about to jump with anger, “I don’t like Lin Mingxu!!!”

Thinking that Lin Mingxu might misunderstand and think that he likes him, he almost wanted to tear his heart open and prove his point, “Lin Mingxu, tell me! Do you think I like you?”

Lin Mingxu, who was unexpectedly involved in this love triangle, didn’t need to be asked. He knew it was Shu You’s doing.

The man looked deeply at Shu You and coldly said, “Don’t mess around.”

Shu You immediately obediently lowered his head and said, “Yes, my boyfriend.”

He stopped when he saw that the situation was not in his favor and raised his chin, showing off to Lu Chenbi, “Give it up, he likes me.”

Lu Chenbi: …wants to kill someone.

With this current posture, he inexplicably felt like a shabby wife watching a seductive mistress act high and mighty while his scumbag husband remained indifferent.

No, how could he think like this?

Thinking like this would mean he was caught in Shu You’s trap!

Lu Chenbi made up his mind and tried to stay calm, saying, “Lin Mingxu, I came today because of Shu You.”

“I don’t know why he changed his mind, but you should think about yourself now…”

Shu You immediately interrupted him and not only leaned towards Lin Mingxu, but also had a shy expression, “We’re doing well now, and we’re about to go home hand in hand to eat hotpot. Thank you for your concern.”

“You…”

“No need to come, don’t be polite.”

“Who’s being polite with you!”

Lu Chenbi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, “Shu You, shut up! Now I want to talk to Lin Mingxu clearly!”

“Oh…”

Shu You immediately looked knowing, “You said you didn’t like Lin Mingxu.”

Lu Chenbi: …Damn it.

He was so angry, really angry.

Lu Chenbi was so angry that he felt like he was about to explode. At this moment, Shu You became even more aggressive and hugged Lin Mingxu’s arm, almost leaning on the man.

He blinked his eyes and deliberately said in a “quiet” voice in Lin Mingxu’s ear, “Boyfriend, let’s go back and eat hotpot!”

Warm body suddenly approached, and Lin Mingxu stiffened slightly.

The young man kept referring to his boyfriend, as if they were truly intimate lovers. They were on their way to the market to buy groceries, hand in hand, with the intention of going home to enjoy a delicious hot pot meal.

Lin Mingxu gave a cold glance at Lu Chenbi and then cast a dismissive look at Shu You. The young man’s clear eyes were filled with expectation and joy, as if he really wanted to hurry home with him.

Home, to eat hot pot.

Shu You’s inner thoughts: Hot pot! Hot pot! Hot pot!

Lin Mingxu’s forehead began to throb faintly, as if he understood something. He spoke coldly, “Let’s go.”

Immediately, the man walked past Lu Chenbi without even looking at him and headed straight for the elevator.

Lu Chenbi: …?

Following Lin Mingxu, Shu You also passed by him. Just as he stepped into the elevator, he tilted his head and pretended to lean towards Lin Mingxu, silently mouthing, “For love! Go for it!”

Lu Chenbi: …Damn it, this is insane!

He had no love!

He didn’t love!

The elevator doors closed.

The carriage slowly moved up, and after a few seconds of silence, Shu You’s lively voice rang out again, “I bought small pieces of beef, lamb, tripe, bean curd skin, meatballs, pig blood, wide noodles, chicken fillets, brain flowers, bitter chrysanthemum…”

Lin Mingxu had a blank expression, “Did Lu Chenbi come to pick you up?”

“No,” Shu You replied instantly.

Suddenly, Shu You’s expression changed, and he smiled shyly, “I’ve already made him see the reality of things! He won’t be coming anymore.”

Lin Mingxu looked at him deeply, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure,” Shu You said with emphasis, but both hands were holding large bags, so he had to speak louder, “I’ve cut off all contact with him!”

“If he comes looking for me again, I’ll punish myself by lending him money.”

“Borrow money?”

“Yes,” Lin Mingxu raised an eyebrow.

Shu You’s eyes glinted with anger, “Whoever owes me money, I’ll never forgive them!”

Lin Mingxu asked, “What if you owe someone else money?”

“Then he’ll be like my uncle! We’re as close as father and son!”

Lin Mingxu’s forehead throbbed again.

The elevator arrived.

Both men stepped out, with Shu You holding bags in both hands, naturally leaving the task of unlocking the door to Lin Mingxu. The latter paused for a moment and casually asked, “Do I have a mysterious identity?”

Shu You: !!!

He didn’t expect Lin Mingxu to have heard too much.

Shu You hesitated for a moment and decisively said, “I can’t say. If too many people know, I’m afraid the world will be in danger and we won’t be safe.”

Lin Mingxu: …?

What kind of secret identity did he have?

However, Shu You only showed a mysterious expression, and walked into the room with his head held high and chest out.

It was impossible to reveal that the other person was the protagonist!

He would guard the peace of the dimensional wall today!

Lin Mingxu: “…”

Looking at Shu You like this, he suddenly didn’t want to know about the time when Shu You got drunk and mentioned his huge advantage.

…Maybe it’s better not to know.

After entering the house, Shu You went straight to the kitchen and started to work on cleaning and preparing food. Lin Mingxu took off his coat and hung it up, and suddenly felt a subtle emotion.

Before he could think about it, Shu You popped his head out and said, “Boyfriend, do you want to come and help?”

Lin Mingxu didn’t want to cook with him, but whether it was accidental or coincidental, Shu You was holding a pack of chili sauce as if he was making a pot of soup base.

“…”

The man was silent for a second, rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the kitchen.

He couldn’t let Shu You recklessly add too much spice.

The two of them, one washing and one cutting, soon filled the dining table. The soup base boiled and bubbled, steaming hot. Both of them had been busy running around outside all day, and they felt very comfortable being able to sit down and eat.

For a moment, no one spoke in the room, and they were all comforting their stomachs.

After eating, Shu You rubbed his protruding upper abdomen, leaned back on the chair, and clicked his teeth. “So good!”

Eating too much would make him sleepy, and that’s how Shu You felt right now. He struggled to put the dishes in the sink and soak them in water, and then slumped on the sofa, motionless.

…Because he didn’t feel like sleeping yet, his eyes were still open. Like a salted fish lying flat on its back.

“Buzz…”

At this moment, his phone rang, indicating that Wu Youzhe had sent a message.

Shu You struggled to reach his phone with two fingers, stretching his whole body like a bow.

With a snap, his phone fell under the couch.

Lin Mingxu walked out of the kitchen and saw only a shaking bottom on the couch.

Round and plump, full of curve, and swaying from time to time, moving back and forth.

Lin Mingxu’s eyes dimmed, and he frowned, “What are you doing?”

Shu You suddenly looked up, his hair messy, his cheeks red from the posture and his breathing ragged, “Saving my last connection to the world.”

Lin Mingxu asked, “Speak in plain language?”

Shu You pitifully said, “My phone fell underneath the couch, and I can’t reach it.”

The couch was large and heavy, an old piece of furniture from some year past. It was against the wall, and the gap below it was very small, not even a person’s arm could fit through it.

Shu You hung upside down and tried to reach for half a day but still couldn’t touch his phone. Lin Mingxu bent down to look, turned on his phone’s flashlight, and finally found Shu You’s phone.

As he looked up, he accidentally hit Shu You’s lowered head, and she exclaimed in pain, holding his chin with tears in his eyes, “Why is your head so hard!”

Lin Mingxu ignored him and said directly, “I’ll go find something, don’t move.”

Shu You nodded his head after failing once and hurting his chin, raising his hands and saying, “I promise.”

Lin Mingxu turned around to find a tool, eventually finding a broom, and held it in his hand. When he came back, he saw Shu You still maintaining the same posture, his eyes shining at him like a very obedient little puppy.

But when Shu You opened his mouth, the atmosphere changed completely.He looked terrified, staring at the broom in Lin Mingxu’s hand, and said, “Lin Mingxu, are you going to beat me?”

Lin Mingxu sneered, “Did you do something that made me want to beat you?”

“No, nothing.”

Shu You immediately smiled, very ingratiating, “And I love you so much, you wouldn’t hit me.”

Lin Mingxu paused, using the broom to fish out Shu You’s phone.

When Shu You got his phone and pressed a few buttons, his face suddenly changed. He jumped off the couch, reaching out to take the broom from Lin Mingxu’s hand.

Lin Mingxu was momentarily distracted, and Shu You took the broom away.

He immediately hid the broom behind his back and smiled fawningly, “Boyfriend, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”

Lin Mingxu was confused, “What?”

“Boyfriend, are you tired? Do you want me to massage and rub your back?”

Lin Mingxu frowned, a certain suspicion arising in his heart. He was angry and amused at Shu You’s continued acting.

He only saw Shu You’s expression embarrassed and hesitant, his cheeks flushing, “Lin Mingxu, do you want to be my temporary sugar daddy for a few days?”

“…Can you lend me some money first?”

At this, Lin Mingxu’s expression froze.

Since the Lin family incident, not a single penny of the Lin family’s money has fallen into the hands of Lin Mingxu, the legitimate heir. Lin Mingxu’s living expenses are currently being covered by his own savings and the pocket money he earned while studying abroad.

Because he is busy with the Lin family’s affairs, he won’t be working for a short period of time, and it’s impossible for him to have a stable income – this is also the reason why his former roommate “Shu You” left.

The reason is obvious: Lin Mingxu has no money and is a poor man who can barely make ends meet.

But in fact, after Shu You came over and thought about it carefully, he felt that Lin Mingxu wasn’t in such a dire situation.

At the very least, there is still money for food, and rent money can still be arranged. They may not have any luxurious expenses, but they can still get by. Moreover, both of them have hands and feet, so why can’t they earn a living?

It’s just that the previous owner was too extravagant and couldn’t adapt to this lifestyle.

Shu You took the broom from Lin Mingxu’s hand, thinking that since Lin Mingxu had no weapons in his hand, he shouldn’t be able to harm him. He quickly spoke up, “Just 7,000 yuan!”

Seven thousand yuan is actually quite a lot.

In Shu You’s previous life, he could live off of it for five or six months.

“I’ll pay you back, I earned 10,000 yuan today…” Shu You said.

Shu You lowered his head and started to calculate carefully while playing with his fingers, “I earned 3,000 yuan from the last performance. But I still have to pay taxes and give a portion to my agent. But don’t worry, I’ll come up with a repayment plan…”

Borrowing money, repayment plan.

Lin Mingxu’s eyes darkened and he became colder.

The previous “Shu You” often asked him for things, and had many excuses.

During these days, he thought that Shu You had changed, but now Shu You was making this kind of request again.

It’s hard not to make him think more.

Lin Mingxu’s eyes grew dim and he took out his phone as if he was going to do something–

“Ding Dong!”

The doorbell rang.
