Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

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 couldnt help but grumble to himself.

What did she mean by salted fish? But he was too embarrassed to ask. He didnt want to be seen as ignorant in front of Zhong Yuhuan.

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

Dont 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 didnt feel that that was good enough and added, Especially the comment section. Theres 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 arent 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 doesnt call me Chengming-gege anymore?

Zhong Yuhuan didnt pay too much attention to what he said right away. She couldnt 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 didnt seem right anymore.

Huo Chengming felt that he couldnt 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 dont 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 couldnt offend both the female lead and the villains wife at the same time.

That sounded like a very bad idea. Its 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 Chengmings irritation thickened.

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

Huo Chengming gripped on tighter to the phone. In his mind, there was a picture of the very first time that Zhong Yuhuan called him big brother a long, long time ago.

Huo Chengmings breathing slowed, and he settled down. The numbing, achy, and burning sensation had returned to his chest once again.

He let out a deep breath slowly then. With a deep and domineering voice, he said into the phone, Call me gege.

Zhong Yuhuan felt a numbing sensation in her ear for a quick second.

Huo Chengmings voice came over like an electric current through the phone.

Huo Chengming didnt hear her, so he repeated himself, Huanhuan, call me gege.

His voice was deep, and this time, there was a distinctive domineering feel to it.
