Chapter 30 (First Update) [VIP]

Can't.

"Can't!"

When Yin Chu Jiu heard Yue Ling ask that question, she immediately thought to herself that Yue Ling had mistaken her dependence on him for love. If Yue Ling were to have more intimate contact with him, she would probably misunderstand those feelings even more.

However, before Yin Chu Jiu could speak, Yin Chu San, who was beside him, refused.

Yin Chusan stood between Yin Chujiu and Yue Ling, his big, fierce eyes fixed on Yue Ling with a protective look on his face. Something was definitely wrong with Yue Ling; not only had his temper become strange, but he was also incredibly clingy to Chujiu.

The robust young man, who had sensed that Yue Ling's attitude towards Chu Jiu was very strange before, would never agree to Yue Ling's suggestion.

He always felt that if things continued to develop this way, one day his brother would really not be able to come back.

"I disagree," Yin Chusan said gruffly, his tone quite unpleasant. "Chu Jiu has already been removed from Juanyun Lane. If he goes back alone, it will already attract the attention and dissatisfaction of others. If he brings you back with him, his situation will definitely be worse."

"Although you look different now than before, what should Chu Jiu say if others ask who you are? Should you say that you are someone you know outside? It's his father's birthday, why would he invite an outsider back, especially an outsider with an unknown identity?"

Yin Chu San spoke righteously and eloquently. Yin Chu Jiu was initially surprised that Yin Chu San thought the same way he did, but as he listened, he realized that Yin Chu San's thoughts were different from his own.

All he wanted was for Yue Ling to sleep separately from him, but in Yin Chusan's words, he didn't even want to bring Yue Ling back with him.

Seemingly sensing Yin Chu Jiu's surprise, Yin Chu San quickly turned around and said to Yin Chu Jiu behind him, "Chu Jiu, listen to me. If you really take Yue Ling back, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Uncle and Aunt."

Knowing that Yin Chu Jiu was soft-hearted towards Yue Ling, he didn't wait for Yin Chu Jiu to speak. Instead, he approached Yin's third uncle and third aunt. Given how much Yin Chu Jiu cared about her parents, she would surely reconsider.

Yin Chu San guessed correctly, because Yin Chu Jiu really thought about it seriously, and he really hadn't considered that aspect.

In other words, he really can't take Yue Ling back.

He had already been expelled from Juanyun Lane, and if he brought someone back with him, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among those people. If it were just him alone, it wouldn't be a problem, but there were also Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin.

Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin have already made a great sacrifice to support him in making amends to Yue Ling. Their son has also been expelled from the Party, and their situation in Juanyun Lane has worsened considerably. If he were to bring people back, it would likely only make their situation more difficult.

Worse still, if Yue Ling's identity is exposed, and he is currently being watched by Gong Yunxi, it will definitely cause another major upheaval.

While Yin Chu Jiu was pondering, Yin Chu San turned to Yue Ling again, looking wary. "Yue Ling, I don't know if you've forgiven Chu Jiu yet, but I hope that for the sake of all that Chu Jiu has done for you over the years, this time, please make things easier for Chu Jiu, okay?"

Given Yin Chusan's true personality, he would never speak to Yue Ling so amicably, but for Chu Jiu's sake, he had no other choice.

After speaking, Yin Chusan stared intently at Yue Ling, waiting for his reply. The boy in front of him seemed taken aback by his words, lowering his head, whether out of self-reproach or deep thought, it was unclear.

If Yin Chusan knew what had happened between Yin Chujiu and Yue Ling these past two days, he wouldn't have had this misconception.

The boy, who had already doubted whether he was going to be abandoned, had finally received the warmth he needed. Just when his doubts and anxieties were being suppressed, he would never let the only thing he valued leave him and enter another world that he did not know or understand.

At that time, he will have other people around him, other partners, friends, relatives, parents, and he will no longer be his only one.

Even worse, it's not impossible that he might be completely forgotten during those few days.

Yue Ling lowered his head, his eyes slightly drooping, his eyelids and long eyelashes perfectly concealing his eyes and the dark glint within them.

He still looked well-behaved, and without the ugly long hair, his fair and delicate appearance was very attractive to others and could also dispel their wariness.

Do you think Yin Chu San would give up the opportunity to spend time with Yin Chu Jiu because of outsiders?

He may not yet realize that in his eyes, only Yin Chu Jiu is important; everyone else is worthless.

This includes Yin San Niang and Yin San Shu.

However, there is indeed a difficult problem, since those two people are Chu Jiu's parents after all.

If they are in a difficult position, then Chu Jiu will also be in a difficult position.

He didn't want Yin Chu Jiu to cry; his face looked better when he was smiling.

Rolling Cloud Alley... Yue Ling clenched her hands hanging by her sides. Ah, it's been so many years since I've been back.

His memories of being kicked out as a child are not very clear, but he will always remember the feeling of being kicked out.

Despair, hatred.

No, now is not the time for revenge; he remembers everything anyway. What he needs to figure out now is how to get back to Rolling Cloud Alley without attracting anyone's attention.

With his head slightly lowered, Yue Ling pondered for a long time before finally raising his eyelids and a smile appeared on his face.

Yes.

"Chu Jiu." Yue Ling bit her lip, looking very careful, and said softly to Yin Chu Jiu, "I can sneak back. I'll hide well and definitely won't cause you any trouble."

To retreat in order to advance.

“You’ve been so good to me all these years. Yin Chusan is right. I shouldn’t have caused you any trouble. You should go home and visit me. Don’t worry about me. I’ll handle it myself. I just want to be able to watch over you from afar.”

"You said you wouldn't leave me, and I believe you."

Yue Ling spoke softly, appearing to be considering Yin Chu Jiu's feelings. His demeanor, devoid of his previous gloom and aggression, was quite endearing. However, in Yin Chu San's eyes, Yue Ling's behavior seemed increasingly strange.

Even though Yue Ling had already agreed not to go back with Yin Chu Jiu, he still felt something was wrong.

If it were the Yue Ling of the past, she would probably have fought with him if she heard these words. He still remembered the look Yue Ling gave him a month ago. In short, she would not compromise easily.

And now? He only said a few words, and Yue Ling actually agreed.

There was no counterattack, no resistance. It was as if his punch had landed on cotton, soft and yielding. Although he achieved his goal, it was still very unsatisfying.

Also, what did he mean by making that gesture?

It was as if he was forcing him.

In Yin Chusan's view, Yue Ling was acting very strangely. But in Yin Chujiu's view, it was because Yue Ling had made a huge sacrifice for him and was enduring his own suffering.

He knew Yue Ling's personality best. These past few days, Yue Ling had been feeling very insecure. Wherever he went, Yue Ling wanted to follow.

Given his possessiveness and obsessiveness, words are useless when it comes to confirming whether he truly intends to stay; actions speak louder than words.

In fact, Yin Chu Jiu was also a little unaccustomed to Yue Ling's sudden change in personality, but he roughly knew that this was a change Yue Ling made in order to prevent him from leaving, so he forced himself to get used to it.

To be honest, Yin Chu Jiu quite likes Yue Ling's gentle personality; it's much better than his previous gloomy and aloof demeanor.

This means that Yue Ling now has other emotions, and is no longer limited to just one, which can be considered progress.

However, in Yin Chu Jiu's eyes, no matter how Yue Ling's outward personality changes, his inner personality traits still remain, such as his darkness, his inability to consider others, or his lack of understanding of how to consider others.

He didn't expect that Yue Ling would actually listen to Yin Chusan and not go back to Juanyun Lane with him in order not to cause him trouble, but instead plan to go back secretly by herself.

Yin Chu Jiu... he felt so guilty.

She had already said she wouldn't leave Yue Ling, wanting to give him a sense of security, but in the end, Yue Ling still had to make concessions.

“No need.” Yin Chu Jiu emerged from behind Yin Chu San and said to Yue Ling, “You will still come back to Juan Yun Lane with me. I have a way to resolve your identity issue.”

Yue Ling's eyes flickered slightly, but her face remained composed. "Do you really have a way to solve this?"

Yin Chusan turned around abruptly and asked in surprise, "Chujiu, do you have any way to solve this?"

Yin Chu Jiu straightened his long sleeves and said, "I want to ask Zi Zhuo to lend Yue Ling a disciple spot at the clinic." Under Yin Chu San's bewildered gaze, he continued, "Zi Zhuo's medical skills are superb. I've been staying at the clinic for the past month, and my family should know that. If I go back this time with someone from the clinic, it shouldn't arouse their suspicion."

Yin Chusan: "..." He had actually forgotten about this relationship!

Yue Ling smiled gently, her face full of surprise, and said softly, "If that's the case, that would be wonderful. I won't have to leave you, and you won't have to leave me."

"Of course, I said I would always be with you, and I will always be with you." Yin Chu Jiu walked to Yue Ling's side and patted Yue Ling's shoulder. Yue Ling had changed his personality for him and even learned to apologize to him. Now he spoke so softly because he didn't want to offend him by being too forceful. How could he bear to let Yue Ling make any more sacrifices? "Wait for me here. I will be back soon."

After saying that, Yin Chu Jiu went towards Zi Zhuo.

Actually, Yin Chu Jiu had been thinking about how to bring Yue Ling back. After much thought, the only way was to change Yue Ling's identity. But identity wasn't so easy to change, and after thinking for a long time, he finally thought of borrowing a spot from Zi Zhuo.

Zi Zhuo's medical skills are exceptional, and the prominent figures in Yundu City all give him face. Naturally, they won't make things difficult for the people at his clinic.

He hadn't yet figured out how to make an exchange with Zi Zhuo. Zi Zhuo, whether it was saving someone or anything else, always required a deal. But after hearing Yue Ling's words, he made up his mind.

He should have something to exchange with Zi Zhuo. Isn't Zi Zhuo a divine doctor? Although he is researching whitening soup, his main skill is still saving people. He remembers that there is a kind of herb that is very effective in treating diseases.

After Yin Chu Jiu left, Yin Chu San immediately walked up to Yue Ling and questioned him very warily, "What was with the tone you used just now? You clearly knew that Chu Jiu would be soft-hearted towards you, so you said that on purpose, didn't you?"

A hint of disgust flashed deep in Yue Ling's eyes, but when he raised his eyelids, he put on an innocent and naive look, and said with a smile, "What would I do with any good?"

Yin Chusan was very angry, "You know that yourself!"

"What do I know?" Yue Ling smiled, her tone equally soft, but her words were sharp. "You said that if I go back with Chu Jiu, it will cause him trouble. So I won't go back with him. I'll go back secretly on my own. Is that not allowed?"

Yin Chusan was furious. Yue Ling said that, but what she felt was not the case at all!

"I've already said everything you said, why are you still not satisfied?" Yue Ling said, clearly dissatisfied.

"Damn it!" Yin Chusan suddenly exploded, "Can you please stop talking to me like that! It's one thing in front of Chu Jiu, but don't use that tone in front of me!"

The smile on Yue Ling's face vanished for a moment, and a dark mist filled his eyes. But then, as if he had thought of something, he forcefully suppressed the dark mist and regained his soft expression.

With a soft expression, he said in a low voice, "Yin Chusan, I don't care whether you're used to it or not, Chujiu will be fine."

"And another thing," Yue Ling said, lifting his fair and handsome face after removing his hair, his expression cold, "I advise you not to even think about telling Chu Jiu about this."

Yin Chusan: "!!!"

Damn! He knew something was off about Yue Ling; it turns out that all those expressions were an act!

Yue Ling ignored Yin Chu San and looked in the direction Yin Chu Jiu had left.

That's right, as long as Yin Chu Jiu gets used to it.

I'm used to him acting cute, used to his closeness, used to the intimacy between us.

He knew that Yin Chu Jiu was also not used to his personality changes.

But one day, he'll get used to it.
