Chapter 18: Fairness is not something he cannot satisfy

During the conversation downstairs, Yu You felt very uncomfortable because of the questions.

Su Qiuling looked smiling, spoke softly and was easy to talk to, but in fact the questions she asked were extremely detailed.

If Yu You hadn't gone over the script with Jiang Xunzhou on the way here, he would have almost been unable to cope with it.

Su Qiuling held the bone china teacup, the tea in the cup swaying gently, and asked gently, "Xiao Yu, do you plan to be an actor forever?"

Yu You was stunned.

This issue was beyond the scope of the script, and he and Jiang Xunzhou had not discussed it in advance.

However, he has also heard that some parents have a very bad impression of the entertainment industry and always ask their children's spouses to quit the industry after getting married.

Perhaps because the silence lasted too long, Su Qiuling looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Yu You said solemnly, "Aunt, I like my job. I will not change my job now or in the future. I will keep doing it."

Su Qiuling laughed. "You misunderstood. I didn't mean to persuade you to change your career. I just wanted to ask if you found it difficult. Xunzhou grew up with the old man and was spoiled. He has always had a strong sense of territory. He doesn't let anyone touch his toys and never allows anyone to enter his room, not even his good cousins."

Then he said meaningfully, "In the acting industry, you can't avoid dealing with many people. Xun Zhou is jealous..."

Yu You blinked, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

He and Jiang Xunzhou only have a contractual relationship. Jiang Xunzhou shouldn't be so intent on grabbing territory as to this extent, right?

As they were talking, there was a noise from upstairs. It was Jiang Xunzhou coming down.

Su Qiuling put down her teacup and said with a smile, "Have you finished talking to your dad? It's time for him to take his medicine. Xunzhou, come sit with Xiaoyu for a while. I'll go get your dad some medicine."

Jiang Xunzhou hummed, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. He walked into the living room with long legs, sat down next to Yu You, and extended his hand very naturally.

Yu You understood in a second and put his hand on it.

Jiang Xunzhou pinched and rubbed his fingers while asking casually, "What did my mother talk to you about?"

Yu You reported his work honestly: "Auntie asked when we met, how long we have been together, and..."

He took a quick glance and made sure that Su Qiuling had taken the medicine bowl upstairs and hadn't noticed this side, then he leaned closer to Jiang Xunzhou.

The boy's low voice, along with the warm breath, splashed on Jiang Xunzhou's ear.

Jiang Xunzhou was distracted for a moment, and then he heard Yu You whisper, "Auntie asked if we were planning to get engaged. I think she was testing us about the stock exchange."

"Nine out of ten." Jiang Xunzhou tilted his head slightly, "Then how did you respond?"

Yu You said: "I said we have been together for a short time and haven't talked about this yet."

He looked at Jiang Xunzhou anxiously: "Is what I said correct?"

Jiang Xunzhou smiled and squeezed Yu You's fingers in a comforting gesture: "Yes, baby fish did a great job."

Yu You couldn't help but feel proud: "Of course, I'm a professional."

A servant brought some cut fruits and placed them on the coffee table. The apple slices were carved into roses, flowers were cut on the tops of the green grapes, and the cantaloupe and pineapple were scooped into small balls with molds. Finally, blueberries were added as embellishment. The presentation was exquisite and tempting.

Yu You had been losing weight for a few days. He looked at fruit as if it were meat. His eyes widened and he closed his eyes in pain: "I can't eat it."

Jiang Xunzhou lowered his head and asked, "Just one bite?"

Yu You shook his head: "No, I have to go to the next stage of filming after resting for two days. I must strictly control my diet from today on."

The boy said listlessly: "It's okay, you eat it, I'll just smell it."

As he said this, his eyes couldn't help but drift to the pineapple. The more he looked at it, the more pitiful it seemed. He muttered, "If you hadn't snatched the pineapple that Auntie left for me yesterday, I could have eaten the last piece..."

Jiang Xunzhou wanted to laugh, remembering his father's warning to be nice to his boyfriend. He took a piece of pineapple with a silver fork, handed it to Yu You's lips, and apologized in a low voice: "It was my fault yesterday. If you eat one to satisfy your craving, I will let them take away the fruit plate."

The golden pineapple balls exude a sweet and sour fragrance that makes people salivate.

Yu You hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse, but then he noticed a tall figure at the living room door out of the corner of his eye. He guessed the identity from the similar features and immediately understood.

No wonder Jiang Xunzhou suddenly became so kind.

He pretended not to notice, lowered his head, slightly opened his red lips, and bit the pineapple ball on the silver fork. Then he put his arms around Jiang Xunzhou's shoulders, raised his face, and kissed Jiang Xunzhou's lips.

With a gentle push of the tongue, the pineapple ball wrapped in saliva was passed in an ambiguous way, and the sweet and sour fragrance filled the lips and tongues of the two.

Yu You's ears flushed red, and she stepped back a little, pursed her lips and smiled shyly: "This is considered to be eating it. Thank you, husband. I tasted it, the pineapple is very sweet."

The boy's long eyelashes are slightly curved, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, and the emotions in his eyes are flashing with fragmented light.

Jiang Xunzhou stared at Yu You, as if he had lost his soul. He bit the pineapple ball, chewed it slowly a few times, swallowed it, and responded: "...It's okay, you're welcome."

A warning cough came from behind.

Jiang Xunzhou woke up as if from a dream. He turned around, saw who it was, and quickly stood up, looking a little embarrassed: "Brother, you're back? Mom just said you were busy with work and didn't have time to come over today."

Standing at the door of the living room was Jiang Xunzhou's brother, Jiang Qingyan, who was in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie. His expression was full of meaning: "You have taken people home. No matter how busy I am, I have to come back to see what's going on."

He looked at Yu You again and asked, "Is this Yu You?"

Yu You greeted him obediently: "Hello, brother, I am Yu You."

Jiang Qingyan nodded politely: "Hello."

"Why call me brother? Just call me Brother Qingyan." Jiang Xunzhou felt a little jealous. "You've never called me brother."

If it weren't for Jiang Qingyan's playful look, Yu You wanted to tell Jiang Xunzhou that this was not the way to add scenes.

Is this how you feel jealous?

Which normal person would care about this?

"I was wrong. I'll make up one now." Yu You smiled sweetly and obediently, pulling Jiang Xunzhou's hand and shaking it gently, "Brother Xunzhou."

Jiang Xunzhou raised the corners of his lips and nodded softly.

Su Qiuling upstairs also got the news and hurried out: "Qingyan is back too? It's just right for us to have lunch together at noon!"

Jiang Xunzhou said, "Mom, Xiaoyu and I won't stay home for lunch today. We came here to see you. I have something else to do at the company, so we'll come back for dinner next time."

Jiang Qingyan also said: "I also have a dinner party, so I came back to visit."

Su Qiuling was a little disappointed: "You're not eating at home? I was planning to cook for myself later."

The two brothers fell silent at the same time.

Su Qiuling has two hobbies, one is collecting tableware, and the other is cooking.

Jiang Qingyan said decisively: "Mom, you and Dad have just returned home, so stop busying yourself and take good care of yourself."

Jiang Xunzhou also nodded earnestly: "There are many dietary restrictions during the recovery period, so let the nutritionist handle the cooking."

Yu You looked around and nodded.

"Well, your father does need to avoid certain foods during this period of recuperation. He can't eat this or that." Su Qiuling sighed, "I won't keep you here."

Su Qiuling then asked Jiang Qingyan to choose a set of shell tableware before letting him go.

Jiang Qingyan and Jiang Xunzhou went out together and suddenly asked, "Could it be that the media reported on your meeting with the parents right after you and Xiaoyu returned?"

Jiang Xunzhou's expression remained unchanged. "Brother, what are you thinking? Mom heard I was in a relationship and urged me to come back, so I brought Little Fish back to see her. What does this have to do with the media?"

Jiang Qingyan said, "No matter what your plan is, our family is not to the point of using marriage as a bargaining chip."

Jiang Xunzhou laughed: "Little Fish and I are in a relationship, why are you guys so nervous as if I'm going to drag him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate tomorrow?"

"I'm just overthinking it."

Jiang Qingyan nodded and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, I have a few boxes of red kangaroo essence capsules sent by my Australian partners. Do you need them?"

Yu You, who was standing next to him, looked surprised, but his tone was pure innocence: "Red Kangaroo Essence Capsule? What is this?"

Jiang Xunzhou blushed, coughed twice, and said embarrassedly: "Brother, you don't need it now, keep it for yourself."

"I don't have a partner, so I don't need any help." Jiang Qing said in a narrow voice, "During the days when you were trending, Assistant Wan came to me for help with the work he couldn't handle. With such a big fuss, do you really not need to make up for it?"

Jiang Xunzhou quickly said, "No, really."

He had a good foundation, so even though he had some weakness, he was fine after taking some tonic for two days.

This isn't something that happens every now and then, so there's no need to take supplements every day.

Yu You vaguely understood, and then said sincerely: "Brother Qingyan, there's really no need. My husband is very capable."

Jiang Xunzhou covered Yu You's mouth.

Yu You grumbled twice and looked at Jiang Xunzhou in dissatisfaction and protest.

——I’m speaking for you!

A smile flashed across Jiang Qingyan's eyes: "People often give me things like this, but I don't usually need them. Just call me when you need them. You're welcome."

Jiang Xunzhou, driven by his male pride, repeatedly assured him, "Brother, I'm not being polite. I really don't need it."

A low-key black luxury car drove to the door and stopped in front of Jiang Qingyan.

"Okay, I'll be leaving first then."

Before getting in the car, Jiang Qingyan said, "By the way, Mom and Dad are embarrassed to talk about this directly, so they asked me, your older brother, to relay it to you - remember to exercise moderation. Even if you're young, you shouldn't be so indulgent."

The three days and three nights of hot searches were claimed to be due to work delays, but the Jiang family knew the real reason.

Jiang Xunzhou pulled Yu You to the car behind as if he was escaping.

As soon as he sat down, Yu You couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked eagerly: "What is kangaroo essence? It can't be what I think it is. Does anyone really eat this?"

"Do you know if it's related to this or that?"

Jiang Xunzhou's cheeks burned, and he pinched Yu You's chin with his palm, squeezing his mouth into a duck's mouth, and said viciously: "How dare you ask me just now?"

"I really didn't know at first." Yu You said aggrievedly, "I only guessed it when your brother mentioned it was trending..."

His words were unclear, and his moist, crimson lips moved. Because Jiang Xunzhou was pinching his face, his lips were pouting slightly, as if he was begging for a kiss.

Jiang Xunzhou's gaze dropped, staring at Yu You's lips, recalling the soft touch when he ate the pineapple.

He let go of her hand and asked nonchalantly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. You performed very well today. What reward do you want?"

After all, when the contract was signed, Yu You's request was...

Jiang Xunzhou's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he felt a fire burning in his lower abdomen, making his whole body hot. He couldn't help but unbutton a button on his collar.

To be fair, if Yu You asked for it, he would be willing to satisfy it.
