When Chen walked over—wrapped in the soft cat blanket, carrying his chair like a cautious child approaching safely with his stuff—both Xu brothers noticed immediately and were amused to see him like that.
Xu Jin was the first to react.
His earlier irritation… faded just seeing chen like that.
He watched Chen quietly place the chair beside them,
And then—A teasing smile tugged at his lips.
"I didn't know Professor Chen was such a scaredy cat."
Chen turned his head sharply and glared at him.
"Who's a scaredy cat, huh? Me? Or you—the one who's scared of grandma?" His eyes narrowed slightly. "Should I tell her you're bullying me?"
Xu Jin froze, his soul practically left his body.
"Brother Chen—!" he immediately raised both hands in surrender, panic clear on his face. "I'm the scaredy cat, okay? It's me! Don't tell grandma—she'll eat me alive!"
Chen huffed.
Then, with a small smirk, he corrected, "You're a scaredy bear. Not a scaredy cat."
Xu Jin blinked.
