The next day, Huo Junyu arrived at the Jiang family with his luggage and was met with a cold reception he had never experienced before.
Jiang Mianmian needed to finish her thesis at school before she could go back, so she sent him the address and told him to go there himself.
Huo Junyu then went to the address.
The Jiang family lived in a narrow alley. Their house looked old, and the wooden floor made a creaking sound when you stepped on it.
Fortunately, the place they lived in wasn't too cramped; it was a small villa with only two households, and the Jiang family lived on the left side.
Downstairs are the living room, kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom, and Jiang Xiaowei's room.
Upstairs is a spacious attic facing south, where the sunlight is particularly good. Stepping out the door leads to a charming little balcony with large, blooming wild roses climbing on the black carved railings.
Huo Junyu was immediately captivated by the scenery.
"This is……"
"This is my sister's room," Jiang Xiaowei introduced softly.
Huo Junyu's lips curved slightly. "Your parents are really good to her. This attic must be the biggest and best room in the house."
Jiang Xiaowei glanced at him without saying anything, then turned and walked downstairs.
Huo Junyu followed him downstairs.
The stairs are quite narrow, and they creak as you walk up them. Nothing in this house is silent; it might be quite lively living here from now on.
Huo Junyu gave a barely perceptible smile.
In the living room, Jiang Youcai sat in the center. He usually only wore old-fashioned shirts and flip-flops, but today he unusually took out a suit and leather shoes and dressed himself up, making himself look like the head of the family.
Su Aiqian also got a perm, and the big red scarf around her neck was her dowry from her wedding.
Su Xiaowei sat up straight, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and revealed an unfriendly light in her eyes behind the lenses.
Huo Junyu was slightly taken aback by this display of force.
But he didn't know that the three people in front of him were just bluffing; in reality, they were in complete turmoil.
Because in their eyes, he had been in a fight and served time in prison, and he was tall and strong. Their whole family combined probably couldn't even twist one of his arms.
Moreover, he was not talkative, had a handsome face but was always gloomy, and his imposing aura was particularly frightening.
That's why they wanted to give him a hard time on his very first day.
"Cough cough!" Su Ai coughed twice and gave Jiang Youcai a wink.
Jiang Youcai, an honest and simple man who had never done anything like this before, could only try his best to straighten his body and encourage himself.
"Um...you!"
Huo Junyu was taken aback. He saw Jiang Youcai pointing at him, his arm outstretched, but his fingertips were trembling slightly.
"You...you answer whatever I ask you! Listen, listen, did you hear me clearly?"
Su Ai gave her a look of exasperation.
This was clearly meant to boost his daughter's morale, but this old man ruined it, making her stutter!
"Alright," Su Aiqian pouted, "ask whatever you want quickly, our daughter will be back for dinner soon!"
"Hmm!" Jiang Youcai tugged at his collar, his face covered in sweat.
“You,” he continued, pointing at Huo Junyu, “name, age, home address! Not a single one can be omitted!”
The tone was as if he were interrogating a criminal.
This was a decision made by the family of three after a brainstorming session today—to give Huo Yu a taste of his own medicine, let him first recall his days in the police station!
People who have been to prison are fearless, but the police still have a certain deterrent effect on them.
only……
Huo Junyu sneered, "It's just that the actors they found were terrible!"
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Su Ai glared at her. "Is it funny? Be serious!"
Huo Junyu stared intently at the couple as if they were fools.
Su Ai decided to go all in, seeing her husband's timid and cowardly appearance, she figured she might as well do it herself.
So she licked her lips, turned her voice up to the maximum volume, and said clearly:
"Since you're coming to stay at our house, there are some rules we need to set for you! You don't have any objections to that, do you?"
Huo Junyu shook his head.
"The first thing is that you have nowhere else to sleep but the living room floor!"
“Mom,” Jiang Xiaowei gently reminded him, “my sister just bought him a folding bed this morning, and it’s right here…”
"Why would I sleep on a folding bed!" Su Aiqi shouted. "Sleeping on the floor means sleeping on the floor!"
Huo Junyu let out a soft snort.
He didn't care where he slept, but he was somewhat surprised that Jiang Mianmian bought him a folding bed.
He followed Jiang Xiaowei's gaze to the corner of the wall and sure enough, there was a folding bed standing there. It was a regular military green, but Jiang Mianmian had put a sheet on the bed.
Huo Junyu's face revealed a meaningful expression.
"Secondly," Su Aiqian added, "my family eats very little, you know? So I won't cook much! If you can eat, then eat; if you can't, then go out to eat. Nobody's stopping you!"
Huo Junyu looked at her. Did her words mean, "Don't waste our rice?"
He found it amusing and continued listening to her third, fourth, and fifth points: "At home, you should do housework; at the supermarket, you should help carry things. You should be observant and not spend all your time fighting and killing. What's the point?"
"You wash your own clothes, and dirty clothes are not allowed on the sofa, do you hear me?"
"And..." Su Aiqian gritted her teeth and pointed upwards, "The attic is a place you can never enter! If you dare to go in, I'll fight you to the death! Do you understand now?"
Su Ai bombarded the room with a rapid-fire barrage of questions, creating an eerily quiet atmosphere.
Jiang Youcai and Su Aiqian exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiao Wei.
Finally, the gazes of the three of them turned to Huo Junyu, who was standing by the window.
Just then, Huo Junyu suddenly turned around.
He possesses a powerful aura and a commanding presence.
This made Jiang Youcai and Su Aiqian jump up as if they had springs in their butts, and Jiang Xiaowei also stood up and hid behind them.
"What...what are you doing?" Jiang Youcai rolled up his sleeves and waved his short arms, as did Su Aiqian beside him.
Huo Junyu simply couldn't understand what this family of three was up to.
But he was too lazy to say anything, and simply threw his bag on the ground with a thud, making the wooden floor creak several times.
Jiang Youcai and Su Aiqian were so frightened that they almost hugged each other.
“He hasn’t said a word since he walked in the door…” Jiang Youcai whispered to his wife, “Could he really be so stupid that he can’t even speak?”
"Uncle, you're overthinking it," Huo Junyu suddenly said, startling Jiang Youcai.
"I can not only talk, I can also support myself."
"Also, I need to add something," Huo Junyu said, his hands in his pockets. "It was your daughter who insisted that I come, not me."
"She wants me to come and be your family's door god."
Huo Junyu smiled faintly as he slowly approached Su Ai.
"Auntie, whose door gods are like mine? Not only do they not get any benefits, but they are also restricted in this and that way?"
