He is Too Stingy, This Sand Sculpture Cannon Fodder

Pretending to be spoiled… It’s not that I can’t do it.

However…

Shu You’s eye twitched, staring at Lin Mingxu. “Are you deliberately making things difficult for me with your thick eyebrows and big eyes?”

Were there any options for being spoiled in the choices he gave?

Clearly, there weren’t!

However, the person opposite had already noticed.

When the classic plot didn’t work and the young man was nervously thinking about how to adapt, he watched helplessly as someone appeared beside the person he was infatuated with.

Exquisite features, a slender figure, and skin even better than his own!

He felt frustrated.

Were all the good men already taken?

He was quite unwilling, but after carefully examining Shu You from top to bottom, left and right, he couldn’t find any major flaws. So he mustered up the last bit of luck and said, “Sir, who is this…”

Lin Mingxu didn’t even look at him, his gaze fixed on Shu You.

Shu You: …Ahem.

He gathered his courage and took a step forward.

First, the left leg, left foot, then the right leg, right foot, and then… he moved to the other side of Lin Mingxu. He reached out and grabbed the man’s arm, and with a coquettish tone that even surprised himself, he spoke.

“Honey~~”

Suddenly, Lin Mingxu felt his scalp tingling.

…Obviously, he made a wrong decision.

The young man’s head was already leaning towards him, rubbing against his upper arm, then rubbing again. In a spoiled voice, he said, “Who… is… this?”

Lin Mingxu: …

The person opposite turned pale.

The young man had never seen such a situation before and stuttered as he asked Lin Mingxu, “Do… do you really like this?”

Lin Mingxu: …Is it still useful to pretend not to know Shu You now?

The young man seemed to have regained his confidence and straightened his chest, saying stubbornly, “I, I can also be compared to this kind of person!”

“Yes, yes.”

Shu You held onto Lin Mingxu’s arm even tighter, almost leaning against him completely. “But too bad, my husband only likes me like this.”

In an instant, he turned domineering. “Your chest isn’t flat enough, your butt isn’t perky enough, you can’t act spoiled in a dolphin-like voice. What gives you the right!”

“Your waist isn’t slim enough, your kidneys aren’t weak enough, you don’t suffer from insomnia and have excessive dreams at night. What gives you the right!”

The young man looked horrified. “You…”

“That’s right!”

Shu You, in a “weak” state, leaned against Lin Mingxu’s chest, covering his face shyly. “Didn’t expect that, did you? I’m the dominant one.”

The young man: ???

Do you even believe what you’re saying?

He stumbled back, his face turning pale. “I don’t believe you’re the dominant one.”

“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not.”

Shu You didn’t care about his thoughts. “In the end, it’s only me.”

“Only me!”

Shu You raised his head slightly, looking into Lin Mingxu’s eyes, his smile radiant, and a small whirlpool appeared on his cheek. “…I’m the treasure in my husband’s heart!”

Treasure in his heart…

The person opposite trembled twice, looking at Lin Mingxu with a complicated gaze. “I… I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!”

“You’re welcome~”

Shu You continued to maintain his smile and waved goodbye to the other person. “Don’t come again next time!”

When the person disappeared into the crowd, he turned his head to Lin Mingxu and said, “Boyfriend, he’s gone now. We succeeded.”

Lin Mingxu’s expression was subtly complicated as he looked at him. “Gone?”

“Yes.”

Shu You stood up straight, timidly speaking, “I did a good job, right?”

…At this moment, he saw the good result and began to act obediently.

Lin Mingxu’s mood was mixed.

Being spoiled was his choice, but it was Shu You who carried it out. After careful consideration, he couldn’t help but say, “Are you really the dominant one?”

“Cough, cough.”

Shu You, at this moment, behaved meekly. “This is an emergency strategy to make the enemy retreat quickly, it doesn’t represent the true meaning.”

“Dolphin voice?”

Shu You lowered himself, speaking softly. “That’s a temporary tactical move to achieve strategic goals quickly, not entirely reliable.”

“Then…”

Lin Mingxu’s eyes darkened, and with a deeper meaning, he asked, “Calling me ‘husband’ as well?”

“Yes, yes.”

Shu You remained unrepentant, sticking to his story. “Calling you that way is more intimate. Don’t you think the effect is good?”

The effect was quite good.

Surprisingly good.

At this moment, the young man’s ever-changing demeanor had completely disappeared. Even the angle at which he lowered his head had a touch of meekness. The back of his neck was slightly exposed, with a beautiful curve, and it was pure white.

Recalling the warmth from before, Lin Mingxu’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he calmly said, “Call me once more. I want to hear it. The previous few lines weren’t accurate.”

…In fact, they weren’t just inaccurate, they were absolutely absurd.

Shu You: …Ah???

“But haven’t all the people left?”

“I see, Lin Mingxu is planning a backup plan.”

After all, he is the main character in the relationship; such an outstanding man easily attracts attention at the banquet.

So, Shu You pondered for a moment and spoke again, “Honey~”

Lin Mingxu’s heart trembled, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, “That’s not right, the ending tone shouldn’t be so high.”

“Honey?”

“Don’t stress the accent; make it lighter.”

“…Honey?”

The ending tone of the young man’s voice still had a slight rise, but it had a different playful tone. He contemplated the extremely intimate address repeatedly, pronouncing it with a gentle and melodious tone, like a soft spring breeze.

Then the gentle breeze turned into a gust, and then into a strong wind.

The wind blew and blew, blowing directly into the depths of their hearts, making everything rustle and stir without stopping.

“Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey…”

Suddenly, Lin Mingxu paused, his pupils slightly unfocused, as if his attention was not fully concentrated.

“Honey?”

He didn’t speak or respond, and Shuyou also stopped, tilting his head. “What’s wrong?”

What else wasn’t satisfactory?

He had said it so many times that his mouth had gone dry.

“I say…” Zhu Feiche suddenly appeared behind them silently and spoke in a calm voice, “Have you two gone too far?”

Shu You:…

Lin Mingxu:…

Zhu Feiche was exasperated. “Did you deliberately keep me away just to play these games here?”

Searching the entire venue, only to turn around and find Shu You and Lin Mingxu being sweet together. Who could understand this feeling? Who understood his frustration?

Shu You’s face turned red all of a sudden.

He didn’t know why, but when he was being shameless in front of Lin Mingxu just now, he didn’t feel this embarrassed. But now that Zhu Feiche had caught them, he felt a little awkward.

He stammered, “Why are you eavesdropping on other people’s conversations?”

Zhu Feiche gritted his teeth. “Oh, I’m sorry. It’s just that my ears are too sensitive in public places like this.”

“That’s right.”

Shu You raised his thumb to praise him. “You can hear everything with so many people around, just like a dog.”

Zhu Feiche ground his teeth. “Say it again?”

For a moment, he wondered if signing Shu You was the biggest mistake of his life.

“Um…”

Shu You blinked his eyes. “Can’t compare to a dog?”

Zhu Feiche:… Forget it.

He needed to consider how much the breach of contract penalty should be.

However, Shu You was still contemplating that sentence, and suddenly another line popped up, “That’s right, you can’t be compared to a dog either.”

Zhu Feiche:…

He was on the verge of a breakdown. “I beg you, please stop mentioning dogs!”

Dogs are humans’ best friends!

He really likes dogs!

He has a Doberman!

How can he face his own little cutie when he goes home tonight?

As a dog dad, Zhu Feiche forcefully dragged Lin Mingxu away. “Shu You, don’t come over! I have something to discuss with your boyfriend!”

Shu You:… Cough, he’s just a boyfriend.

The memories of calling him “husband” dozens of times have been thrown into the deepest part of his mind and locked away.

As the people left, the banquet continued.

Shu You held a plate and searched for a corner, finally finding a small balcony where he could relax and eat in peace.

Satisfied with his meal, he couldn’t help but raise a contented smile.

Even his little tiger teeth were showing, and his floppy hair on top of his head shook in rhythm, exuding extra delight.

Not far away, Lin Mingxu finished his conversation with Zhu Feiche and naturally caught sight of this scene in his peripheral vision.

The sweet “cooing” calling him “husband” still echoed in his ears, as if lingering in his mind.

Immediately followed by that smile.

At this moment, Zhu Feiche hummed and said sourly, “Lin Mingxu, you mustn’t forget our grand plan…”

A subtle change flickered across Lin Mingxu’s face. He raised his hand and took a sip from his champagne glass, as if trying to hide something. Then his expression turned cold. He glanced lightly at Zhu Feiche and said, “Rest assured, even if I forget, you won’t forget the profits you relinquished.”

Zhu Feiche: ???

…You two truly live up to being a couple! Both of you are the same!

But in the next second, he suddenly smirked, “Hey, Lin Mingxu, is that person trying to hit on Shu You?”

Lin Mingxu furrowed his brows slightly, following the direction from earlier, and indeed, there was another man standing in front of Shu You.

The man looked refined and presentable, with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his face. It was clear what his intentions were.

However…

Not even a minute later, the man became frustrated and turned around to leave, walking away even faster than he came.

Zhu Feiche couldn’t help but touch his chin, “Why did he leave so quickly?” This person really has poor endurance! He could sustain a conversation with Shu You for a few sentences!

As a mischievous person, he really wanted to see Lin Mingxu’s black face when someone pursued Shu You. It must be quite a sight.

Unfortunately, he didn’t get to witness it.

Zhu Feiche turned his head and wanted to mock a few words, “Hey, Lin Mingxu, where is your…?”

Lin Mingxu had already walked over to Shu You.

Shu You was full from eating and didn’t feel like moving much. He lazily leaned against the back of the sofa, wondering how much longer he had to wait.

As he raised his eyes, Lin Mingxu approached.

He immediately put on a big smile and said, “Boyfriend, are you done with your work?”

Lin Mingxu nodded and swept his gaze over Shu You’s face and upper body, but he didn’t notice anything unusual. He said, “I’m done with my work.”

“Can we go home then?”

Shu You thought to himself, perfect, I’ve eaten so much, I should hurry home and take a nap.

Otherwise, if I go home late, I won’t feel sleepy anymore.

Lin Mingxu nodded again and walked alongside him towards the exit. Shu You was in a great mood because he had eaten and drunk to his heart’s content. He hummed a song lightly, and the tuft of hair on top of his head swayed back and forth, left and right, quite eye-catching.

With each sway and movement, his presence was particularly striking.

The noisy and bustling interior gradually faded away as they walked into the spacious lobby. They handed the car keys to the doorman, and Shu You stood in place, discreetly hiccuping.

“Hiccup!”

At that moment, Lin Mingxu said, “Shu You.”

“Huh?”

Shu You hurriedly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around. “Is it not allowed to hiccup here?”

Lin Mingxu’s mouth twitched. “Hiccuping is allowed.”

“Oh, good then.”

Unable to resist, Shu You hiccuped again, “Hiccup!”

Lin Mingxu’s temples throbbed slightly. He suppressed his emotions and calmly said, “Shu You.”

“You just…”

“Hiccup!”

Shu You let out a third hiccup.

…Followed by another one.

And another one.

“Hiccup!”

“Hiccup!”

“Hiccup!”

Shu You crossed his hands over his mouth, panicked and at a loss. “What should I do, Lin Mingxu? I can’t stop!”

Lin Mingxu:…

In the middle of the night, Lin Mingxu hurriedly drove out of the hotel.

…If someone didn’t know better, they would think it was some earth-shattering emergency.

“Hiccup!”

Sitting in the passenger seat, Shu You was still hiccuping.

His face had turned red, feeling very uncomfortable. He checked his phone while pitifully covering his mouth, leaving only his eyes exposed as he stared at Lin Mingxu.

“Lin Mingxu, I’ll try holding my breath…Hiccup!”

“Lin Mingxu, I read online that drinking water helps…Hiccup!”

“Lin Mingxu… Hiccup!”

Lin Mingxu:…

“Zap!”

The car stopped by the roadside, and Lin Mingxu opened the door and got out, leaving Shu You with just his back.

Shu You:…Huh? Why did Lin Mingxu leave?

He was about to ask when another “Hiccup!” escaped him.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Fortunately, Lin Mingxu quickly returned, holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand.

Shu You quickly gulped down a few mouthfuls, forcefully trying to suppress the hiccups.

The car’s lights turned on, illuminating the interior. With teary eyes, Shu You looked at Lin Mingxu and asked, “…Is it better now?”

“Hiccup!”

…No, it wasn’t.

Shu You sighed and said dispiritedly, “Lin Mingxu, forget it

. I’ll stop hiccuping after a while.”

Suddenly, he remembered something and hastily changed the subject, “Were you going to ask me something just now?”

Lin Mingxu paused for a moment, “It’s nothing important.”

“…Oh.”

Shu You raised his hand and rubbed his chest while looking at the content on his phone.

The first suggestion didn’t work, pass;

The second suggestion of drinking water didn’t work either, pass;

The third, fourth, fifth suggestions…

As Shu You scrolled through his phone, it moved in sync with his hiccuping. Before he could reach the third suggestion, Lin Mingxu leaned in suddenly, forcing him to press his back tightly against the seat, like a small animal cornered and at a loss.

Shu You was startled. “Lin, Lin Mingxu?”

His handsome face appeared larger, his breath almost within reach. The man’s dark eyes stared at him intently, reflecting a tiny version of himself.

Shu You blinked reflexively, staring back in confusion. In his eyes, he could see another Lin Mingxu.

…The surroundings became extremely quiet.

“Shu You.”

Lin Mingxu’s voice was very gentle.

“Your seatbelt isn’t fastened.”

“Hiccup!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu You, in a state of extreme nervousness, suddenly lifted himself up forcefully!

“Slap.”

A saliva mark appeared on Lin Mingxu’s cheek.
