Hello, it's Sienna~ I'm so delighted seeing all the positive responses from the previous chapter. You guys are very sweet and I was all smiles yesterday when I re-read your comments. I'm glad I'm not alone in this ship ohohoho So, here's one more fluffy chapter! This chapter is slightly harder to translate, but I persist because it's sooo adorable. Hope you enjoy~

Okay, before reading this chapter, I'll give you a not-so-short explanation about 撒娇 (sā jiāo) -> which is the title of this chapter. Sa jiao can be translated as (1) acting like a spoiled kid, (2) acting coquettishly, or (3) throwing a tantrum. This term can be used when kids behave cute, shy, or even nagging to get what they want or maybe just to gain affection and playing around. Sa jiao is also used when women make feminine gestures which may appear clingy, cute or cajoling with the intention of getting something, including attention. Examples of sa jiao towards your partner may range from pouting, being clingy to your boyfriend, whining, or worst, throwing temper tantrums in public. In Chinese culture, this kind of behavior is widely practiced and accepted as a part of feminine character. I mean the pouting part, not throwing temper tantrums in public (this is worst example). In my opinion, sa jiao is not a bad thing as long as it's done in moderation and it's not necessarily used to describe women only, men can sometimes sa jiao as well (if you know what I mean).
Phew, I hope all that makes sense. If you don't understand, you can ask me anytime! ^^

Hao Mei certainly feels that he doesn't like to act spoiled towards anyone. He's a purely masculine man. Except for his slightly weird name and his preposterous nickname, "Mei Ren" [1], there's not an inch of him that carried the slightest feminine aura.

On the other hand, Xiao Nai begged to differ, "Acting spoiled has nothing to do with feminine or not feminine."

Following Xiao Nai's point, Yu Ban Shan and Qiu Yong Hong chimed in together, "That's right. Besides, we didn't mention anything about you acting like a girl. We're only saying that you're definitely acting spoiled."

"No way. When did I ever act spoiled with you guys?" Hao Mei remained unconvinced. Although everyone was bullying him, he could only retaliate. Even when Bei Wei Wei teased him constantly, he would merely send a text message to Xiao Nai and complained to him. If lodging a complaint equals to acting spoiled, then everybody is acting spoiled!

"I'm not saying that it's towards us," Yu Ban Shan kindly pointed out. He pursed his lips and signaled towards the office area, where only one lamp illuminated the remaining desk, and continued, "It's towards him."

Hao Mei spun his head to look at the same direction. Once he saw KO, his attention was immediately averted, "Why hasn't he gone home yet? We're going to sleep at the office anyway. Why hasn't he left?"

"Hmph hmph." Yu Ban Shan smirked as he enunciated his words clearly while maintaining a vague implication, "Well, he's more than willing to do it. Who knows whom he wants to accompany..."

"Huh? Who does he want to accompany?" Hao Mei still asked dumbly.

No one can stand it anymore. I look at you, you look at me. Everyone motioned at each other, before Xiao Nai decided to be the first one to stand up. He said with a smile, "I'll be going back first. You guys slowly... enlighten and straighten him out."

Qiu Yong Hou also rose to his feet and spoke, "I'm tired too. I'll wash myself then go to sleep."

"Don't leave yet." Yu Ban Shan held him back while his entire posture screamed: we absolutely must settle this thing and make it clear to him today. He reasoned, "You have to stay here and become my witness. I'm afraid I can't convince him by myself."
