Chapter 97

Mou Yun had another big fight with Chen Yang. She ran away from home and unconsciously came to find Yan Shu. This had become her habit.

Yan Shu was used to waiting for her there.

Mou Yun stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before knocking. The person who opened the door was a strange woman she had never seen before. She must have just moved in.

As she came in she said, "Thank you."

The woman walked towards her room and saw Mou Yun following her. She looked a little wary when she turned back.

Seeing her enter Yan Shu's room, Mou Yun was also quite surprised, "Excuse me, I want to ask, Yan Shu who lives here..."

"Yan Shu?" the woman interrupted her. "There's no such person. I just moved in and live alone."

Mou Yun was a little confused. The door opposite opened and Zhang Ping, who was about to pick up a package, saw Mou Yun and said kindly, "You came here to look for Yan Shu. He moved away a long time ago."

Mou Yun was stunned. She didn't know what expression to put on her face. She turned around and walked down the stairs.

For so many years, she has been running hard and has never considered the man who silently supports her behind the scenes. She takes his tolerance and protection for granted and enjoys it with peace of mind.

Mou Yun stood on the street, with cars coming and going. She covered her face with her hands and rubbed it hard. How selfish.

Yan Shu, I hope you are happy.

Happiness is a cat eating fish, a dog eating meat, and Ultraman fighting monsters. This is a more general statement.

Yan Shu's happiness is Lu Shenxing.

The studio is not big, with only about a dozen people in charge of art and 3D. Most of them are very young. They gradually learned that the boss who looks better than a celebrity has a family and is dominated by his wife.

Yan Shu had known about this rumor for a long time. In fact, the kid didn't care about him at all. It was purely he who brought it up.

He didn't like someone restricting him, controlling him, or interfering too much, but he liked the child controlling him and wanted those enthusiastic eyes to fall on him.

Yan Shu stood up from his computer desk and was about to call home when his cell phone rang. It was his half-brother calling.

There was a lot of noise on the other end, mixed with a deep voice, "Hello? Hello! It's me, I'm on the train, I'll be there soon, you, give me the address, hello——"

Yan Shu's flat brows slowly wrinkled together, and he took the car keys and went out.

The train station was bustling with people leaving the station one after another. At the exit, a dark-skinned middle-aged man was feeling his pockets. Someone behind him was urging him, and the staff was a little impatient, but didn't say anything.

The middle-aged man's face flushed with anxiety. He finally found the ticket and said, "Comrade, here you go."

The staff took the ticket and looked at it, "Let's go."

The middle-aged man sighed, dragged the two large sacks at his feet, and walked and looked around with a confused look on his face.

"Big brother."

A voice came from behind, and the middle-aged man quickly turned around and waved excitedly.

Yan Shu walked over quickly and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before you came?" If he was stuck in traffic or on a business trip today, who knows what would have happened.

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, and even an honest man knew how to play dumb, "Dad asked me to bring you some walnuts."

Yan Shu sighed, "Wait here for me, I'll make a call first."

He walked to the corner and asked in the chaotic atmosphere, "Mingming, are you home?"

Lu Shenxing replied, "Here."

Yan Shu said, "My elder brother is here."

Lu Shenxing didn't ask anything, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Shu walked up to Li Xiang and said, "Brother, there's something I've been hiding from you." He paused and said, "I have a partner."

Li Xiang nodded. "It's the one called Mou Yun, right? We all know him. His family is waiting to give it to you..."

"It's not Mou Yun." Yan Shu interrupted, "It's a boy."

Li Xiang opened his mouth wide, thinking he had misheard, "What?"

People were constantly walking around, and there were two people standing still curiously. The younger man was very delicate, with a beautiful nose, eyes and mouth.

The other middle-aged man looked like he had been doing farm work all year round. He was rough and honest. His face was ashen and his eyes were red. It was unclear whether he was angry or what.

Yan Shu spent some time explaining, and Li Xiang was greatly stimulated. He asked, "Can't we give up?"

"I can't give it up." Yan Shu said.

Li Xiang raised his hand to wipe his face, "Okay, I'll find a way to talk to Dad."

After solving the problem here, Yan Shu was nervous all the way, wondering if the child would be unhappy.

When he entered the house, he found that the other person was in a good mood and not at all angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiang kept staring at Lu Shenxing. Lu Shenxing didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He looked at him however he wanted. He knew that the other party cared about him and what his purpose was. He might as well see through him at once to avoid worrying about him in the future.

When a stranger came to the house, Xiaobai and Xiaohei barked vigilantly. After being comforted by Yan Shu for a few times, they lowered their heads and went to play aside.

Yan Shu put the sack on the balcony and went into the kitchen to boil some water.

Lu Shenxing in the living room glanced at Li Xiang, who was rubbing his hands non-stop, and said, "You're very nervous."

Li Xiang rubbed the back of his head. "I'm not nervous." He began rubbing his hands again. "How long have you and Yan Shu been together?"

Lu Shenxing smiled, "It's been a long time."

Li Xiang said "oh" and walked to the bathroom. He reached into the innermost pocket of his shirt and counted two hundred-yuan bills. Then he felt that one was not enough, so he added two more, making a total of four hundred yuan. He straightened the four corners of each bill.

The four hundred yuan was warm in his hand and covered with a thin layer of sweat. He took the opportunity to give it to Lu Shenxing.

"Take this money and buy food."

"Thanks."

Lu Shenxing didn't push it around, and Li Xiang grinned happily, "You can call me big brother like him."

After about three or four seconds, Lu Shenxing spoke under Li Xiang's expectant gaze, "Brother."

Li Xiang, "Hey."

Before he came, he thought that the boy his younger brother was dating must be a spoiled little master who couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or hands, or was too shy to see people and would cry and make a fuss.

When we met, I found that it was not the case. I don’t know how to describe it, but I just felt that she was a good match for me.

"Is this the puppy you raised?" Li Xiang looked at the two dogs not far away.

Lu Shenxing pointed, "The one biting the tail is Xiaobai, and the one watching is Xiaohei."

"The name is easy to remember." Li Xiang squatted down to play with them.

Lu Shenxing went to the kitchen and stuffed the money into the pocket of Yan Shu's suit pants. "It's a gift from your eldest brother."

Sprinkling salt into the pot, Yan Shu quickly shook Lu Shenxing's hand and said, "I only found out after receiving his call. I didn't hide it from you."

He looked at Lu Shenxing deeply, "I thought you..."

Without giving him a chance to continue, Lu Shenxing teased, "What do you think I'm going to do? Kick your brother out, or kick you out?"

"I don't play that kind of thing." How boring.

Yan Shu pursed her lips and stared at Lu Shenxing.

Lu Shenxing twitched the corner of his mouth, breathing a little heavily, "Alright, stop looking at me like that."

He pinched Yan Shu's buttocks and said, "Look at you, you want to have sex."

Yan Shu, “…”

Li Xiang saw Yan Shu bringing him a bowl of noodles, and the other's ears were a little red. He looked behind and glanced at the people in the kitchen.

"Little brother, you're a good person."

Yan Shu's lips curved slightly, "Yeah."

Seeing that he was so satisfied, Li Xiang didn't want to say anything more. Living a good life was more important than anything else.

In the afternoon, Yan Shu did not go to the company. Together with Lu Shenxing, he took Li Xiang for a walk around several tourist attractions in the city. Li Xiang was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Everything he saw seemed new to him.

"Big cities have lots of people and cars, which is good, but noisy."

Yan Shu nodded, "It's not as quiet as home."

Li Xiang turned to look at Lu Shenxing, who was holding his hands in his pockets. "Would you like to come visit us someday? The mountain is covered with trees. We've planted a lot of walnuts and even raised rabbits."

Yan Shu also looked at Lu Shenxing.

Lu Shenxing raised his eyebrows, "Okay."

The three of them went shopping until dark before returning. Yan Shu wanted to book a room for Li Xiang in the hotel, but Li Xiang was unwilling to do so, saying it was too expensive and a waste of money, and kept saying that he would sleep in the living room.

Yan Shu had no choice but to flatten the sofa in the living room and put a quilt and pillow on it.

Fortunately, it is early summer now and it is not cold at night.

Across the door, Lu Shenxing and Yan Shu hugged and kissed. When they were moved, Yan Shu held Lu Shenxing's hand and said, "Brother is outside and can hear it."

Lu Shenxing squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Then why are you still flirting with me?"

Yan Shu blushed and whispered, "...I kind of want to."

Lu Shenxing cursed softly and pulled the quilt up with force.

The next morning, Yan Shu and Lu Shenxing sent Li Xiang to the station and put some money in his coat while he went to the toilet.

Li Xiang only discovered the money after he got on the train. He stared hard at it through the window and let out a loud sigh.

After coming out of the station, Lu Shenxing said he would take a taxi back, but Yan Shu disagreed and insisted on giving him a ride. When they passed the gate of the community, they were met by a pair of gazes from the roadside.

The young woman who had just moved into a new house withdrew her wide eyes and posted a Weibo with trembling hands.

My boss and I live in the same neighborhood, and we saw...

And then there is no follow-up, and he only finishes his words halfway, which can drive people crazy, especially those with obsessive-compulsive disorder, who are very worried and anxious when seeing it.

The woman was besieged as soon as she arrived at work, and she confessed under the enthusiastic questioning of her colleagues.

No one present believed her. She swallowed and held up four fingers, "I swear, I saw it with both eyes, the boss touched the man's face, and his smile was very gentle!" It was completely different from her usual perfunctory smile.

Everyone was in shock and they all needed some quiet time.

So, the boss lady is a man?

Yan Shu noticed something unusual as he walked into the studio. He glanced at the female subordinate he saw in the community yesterday, then quickly looked away.

He calmly put his briefcase on the desk, and went to make a cup of coffee as if nothing had happened. After finishing the cup, he tugged at the tie around his neck, let out a breath, and walked outside.

The whispers suddenly stopped, leaving only the chaotic sound of typing on the keyboard.

Yan Shu said with a frown, "If you have any questions, ask them now. I don't want to hear you talking about my private life behind my back."

Everyone lowered their heads and kept silent, being extremely reserved. It seemed as if the spit flying around just now was all an illusion.

Someone muttered, "Boss, who's on top between you and the boss lady?"

Everyone else looked at that person and gave him thumbs-up looks.

Yan Shu cleared his throat, his expression calm, "This question is meaningless."

After a long time, everyone picked up the fallen jaw and put it back together. Boss, you have been exposed.
