The weekend rolled in pretty quickly. At least, that's what Hyson felt. Usually, when he had to follow a strict schedule, he always wished for a day to rest. Needless to say, idols like him didn't have the luxury to count the weekend as a holiday like white collars who had fixed working hours. They often had activities planned for the weekend as well. The work activities seemed endless.
But now that every day, he could laze around, he felt like the days were passing very fast and yet very slow. His feelings were contradictory but it wasn't his fault. He felt like he was soon gonna grow some mold if he didn't get to do some work soon.
This had to be blamed on Raelle. The way she always preferred work over leisure seemed to have rubbed off on Hyson very well. Although he wished for a break once in a while, he indeed had become fond of working as well. And now he was counting days for the audition date so that he could have something to do!
"Yue Fai, come out for breakfast!"
Hearing the voice from outside the room, Hyson frowned before rushing out. Seeing Lin Zhen arranging the breakfast on the table, Hyson's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Zhen Ge, what are you doing here on a weekend?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe really couldn't help questioning it. After all, Lin Zhen had his own apartment and usually, he would spend most of his free time there. He hadn't seen Lin Zhen in the last couple of days and had assumed that the latter would spend his time at his own apartment where he had a recording studio to work on. That's why he was surprised to see Lin Zhen back at their dorm now.
"Why do you look so displeased seeing me here?" retorted Lin Zhen as he stared at Hyson unhappily.
Hyson laughed awkwardly at him before taking a seat. On his side, a phone rang and he called, "Zhen Ge, your phone is ringing."
"Help me answer it," called out Lin Zhen from the open kitchen.
Hyson made a face, "What if it's your girlfriend?"
Lin Zhen glared at Hyson. "Stop talking nonsense and answer the phone already."
Hyson chuckled at his reaction before he answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Boss Lin, he is not waking up!" The person on the other side sounded exasperated. "He is sleeping like a log!"
Hyson didn't even have to guess who was being discussed right now. He burst out laughing as he looked at Lin Zhen, "Zhen Ge, you even have someone following Yi Ge?"
Lin Zhen shook his head before he said, "Put the phone close to his ear."
"Done," came the voice from the phone speaker.
"Huang! Shu! Yi! Get your bloody ass out of the bed and eat something! If you're gonna act dead like a pig, at least eat like a pig as well!"
*Thud*
The sound of something heavy falling on the ground could be heard from the phone and Hyson had to purse his lips to stop himself from laughing even more. These people around him were really something else. He could bet that the 'thing' that fell heavily was certainly his Yi Ge. That made this situation even more hilarious.

"Zhenzhen, don't you have anything better to do in life? Why are you always playing the role of a villain between me and my love?"
"Because if I don't play the villain, this love will kill you!" Lin Zhen shot back.
Hyson actually couldn't blame Lin Zhen for doing this. Even he knew if Lin Zhen didn't pay attention, Huang Shuyi might die in his sleep from hunger. That lazy man would never prioritize eating over sleeping even if his life depended on it. That's why Lin Zhen had to become the villain in the love story of Huang Shuyi with his bed.
"Also, just because we have some free time, it doesn't mean you should become tardy like this. Keep taking care of your health and maintain your weight properly. If I learned that your weight increased or decreased, see what I do with you!" Just like that Lin Zhen hung up the call.
He rubbed his temples and groaned, "All of you are like kids. If I don't pay attention, you all would die one day without anyone realizing it!"
Hyson perched up his chin on the heel of his hand as he looked at Lin Zhen in amusement and said, "And you're like the mother hen. Always making sure that your chicks eat well."
Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes at Hyson but didn't say anything. He walked over to the door of another room and knocked on it, "Xiao Wen, you better stop playing games and come out to eat now! You nocturnal animal! Is night not enough for you?"
He put his ear against the door to hear for any movement and could clearly hear a silvery voice saying, "Sorry, my beautiful fans! I'll play with you another time. My loving mom is calling me for breakfast now. Let's take a break in our live stream. I know you all are reluctant to part with me. But just give me a while to placate my beautiful mother." After that, he heard some shuffling before the door opened and a pale face came before his eyes. It almost scared Lin Zhen that's how scary the person before him looked right now. Waving his hand, he greeted Lin Zhen, "Zhen Ge, you look handsome and bright this morning."
Lin Zhen clenched his fists when he saw those dark circles on his face. Poking his head he said, "Is this how you're planning on dying? One is gonna die from lack of sleep and the other is gonna die from excessive sleep! You all are really something!"
Hyson followed the movements of this mother hen around. Although their fans called Lin Zhen the gentlest person, they all knew what kind of a devil he was. There was no doubt that Lin Zhen was very gentle. He always cared for them like a mother since he was the oldest and also the leader of the group. But they all knew that aside from that gentleness, Lin Zhen had another persona. And it'd always come out when he was pissed off.
And clearly, taking care of this bunch of kids sure pissed him off more often than not!
