Chapter 145-

Zhong Yuhuan received the call from Huo Chengming as soon as she had hung up with Li Jinyuan.

"What are you doing?"

"Lying on the couch. Like a salted fish."

Huo Chengming couldn't help but grumble to himself.

What did she mean by "salted fish"? But he was too embarrassed to ask. He didn't want to be seen as ignorant in front of Zhong Yuhuan.

Huo Chengming figured he'd just look it up later. Huo Chengming quickly chucked that idea and moved onto a more important subject.

"Don't read so much WeChat. Sleep some more. You had been so busy a while back."

Zhong Yuhuan found his tone amusing. All of a sudden, Huo Chengming was sounding more and more like an older brother now.

Zhong Yuhuan nodded immediately and said, "Mm, okay."

Huo Chengming didn't feel that that was good enough and added, "Especially the comment section. There's no need to read through them. They are all stupid anyway."

That was awfully specific, but Zhong Yuhuan acknowledged docilely anyway, "Mm, alright."

After Huo Chengming had said what he wanted to say, he still felt that something was a little off.

Phone in his hand, he had no intention of hanging up just yet.

Zhong Yuhuan waited for a little before she started talking again, "Why aren't you talking anymore? Something happened on your end?"

Suddenly, Huo Chengming was enlightened.

He finally realized what that awkward feeling was all about.

Huo Chengming asked in a deep voice, "How come Huanhuan doesn't call me 'Chengming-gege' anymore?"

Zhong Yuhuan didn't pay too much attention to what he said right away. She couldn't help the urge to rub her ear first. Aiya, another cannon of deep voice.

Both of them were talking in different tones, as though they were letting out their male pheromone subconsciously. Granted, both of them sounded quite attractive as well.

"Huanhuan?" called Huo Chengming again in a low voice.

Zhong Yuhuan finally said, "Now that we are all grown up, that didn't seem right anymore."

Huo Chengming felt that he couldn't sit still anymore. There was an indescribable irritation inside of him.

He stood up and said in a deep voice, "I am not your brother anymore now that we are grownups?"

"You don't find that awkward?"

"No."

"But still..." Zhong Yuhuan gave it some serious thought and said, "What happens when you have a girlfriend later on?"

She couldn't offend both the female lead and the villain's wife at the same time.

That sounded like a very bad idea. It's must safer to just stick with using his name.

Besides, there was no more need to use words like that to make them feel close together with each other anymore.

Huo Chengming's irritation thickened.

He couldn't even stand looking at anything on his desk. With one hand propped on his desk, he said in a deep voice, "I don't have a girlfriend. What a girlfriend. And why is it not good?"
