Reborn into a Hamster for 233 Days

Finally lowering his guard, Chu Ge lifted the teacup that he originally suspected Xiao Yu may have poisoned and drank a mouthful. Startled, Chu Ge realized the tea was actually made from Yan Jin’s treasured tea leaves. They weren’t available commercially. The last time Chu Ge had tasted that tea was when he’d helped Yan Jin negotiate on the black market several islands’ worth of profit. Chairman Yan had awarded him a little as if it were an equal trade.

Seeing Chu Ge stop after just one gulp, Xiao Yu thought Chu Ge didn’t like the taste and hurriedly apologized, “Sorry, I also think these tea leaves taste funny, but with Yan Jin not around, I don’t know where the other tea leaves might be.”

“No, it’s pretty good.” Chu Ge gave Xiao Yu a complicated look before draining the rest in one breath. “It really does taste pretty good to me. What brand is it?”

“It doesn’t say. Probably it’s just one of the normal ones. If you like it, take some with you. The bag is so large we could drink it for a year and still not finish.

Chu Ge laughed bitterly.

The bag is so large? Yan Jin previously only doled it out by the gram.

The slight bitter taste of the tea turned extremely sour.

He’d seen smitten scoundrels who forgot their friends, but Yan Jin was the most shameless of them all.

Crying internally, Chu Ge sourly indicated the pink diamond on Xiao Yu’s finger. The voice that left his mouth didn’t sound quite right. “So Yan Jin bought that for you too?”

Shyly, Xiao Yu withdrew his hand a little unconsciously and mumbled in assent.

“Then the two of you – the two of you are planning to get married?” Chu Ge nearly bit his tongue on the last two words.

“Yup. Do you think that because we’re both men…” Xiao Yu lowered his head, seeming extremely pitiful.

“Nope, I already knew Yan Jin preferred guys.”

In fact, he had only found out recently.

Yan Jin really hid his secrets too well. If he hadn’t accidentally come across Yan Jin’s close confidant, he reckoned he’d be in the dark for a lot longer.

Actually, one reason he had come that day was to confirm the truth with Yan Jin, but now it no longer appeared necessary.

“Oh? That’s really good then.”

Chu Ge’s reassurance heartened Xiao Yu, who began speaking much more animatedly.

“In fact, I thought we’d moved too quickly too. Do you think so? Especially since we’re both men. And…” In relief, Xiao Yu long-windedly spilled all his disorganized thoughts.

Chu Ge’s expression grew more complicated. He didn’t know whether he wanted to scold Yan Jin for bringing disaster on someone so adorable or to make fun of him for courting someone who used to be his pet. His shamelessness had already far exceeded that of a bestiality play.

In more abstract terms, after being exposed to so much lovey-dovey, the single Chu Ge felt somewhat moody.

In the next instant, Chu Ge distantly realized why Yan Jin had forgotten to inform him of such an important matter. Aside from Chu Ge objectively being hard to get a hold of recently, Chairman Yan had only cared about blissfully spending time with his fiance. He probably had completely forgotten about any other tasks or people.

Haha.

……

That night, Yan Jin received a letter before he left the office.

It was the kind that had a postage stamp on it.

In this age dominated by the Internet, receiving a letter was really hard to understand. However, there was a portrait of a cute hamster on it, so Chairman Yan gave it the benefit of the doubt and opened it.

Respectful greetings,

To the smitten scoundrel who forgot his friends:

I’m vacationing overseas. Goodbye.

Yan Jin: ???
