"Uncle Huang Hu?" The other end suddenly fell silent, and Wan Qiu reminded him.
Then Huang Hu asked in a trembling, incredulous voice, "Wan... Wanqiu, why would you suddenly ask such a question?"
"Can't I ask?" Wan Qiu asked in confusion, "Does Uncle Huang Hu have homophobic tendencies?"
Huang Hu gasped, "Ah, no, I didn't. It's just that you suddenly asked me this question and I didn't quite catch it. No, no, no!"
When Wan Qiu heard Huang Hu's usual loud and boisterous voice, he realized it was the Huang Hu from before.
"Are there any tips for boys dating each other?" Wan Qiu asked this question again.
"Well, well, it's not that it isn't, right... Let me see... Let me think about it, so it's hard to say... right..." Huang Hu stammered a lot, and Wan Qiu listened with a blank expression.
"Uncle Huang Hu is a very trustworthy adult male who wouldn't spread rumors easily, and whose thinking is very mature, right?" Wan Qiu asked.
"Ah, yes, that's right." Huang Hu didn't understand Wan Qiu's words. After responding, he even had a few subtle and strange thoughts, and reflected on himself.
Wan Qiu felt that Huang Hu should meet Chu Yigui's standards and was someone she could talk to.
"I want to date Yi Gui."
Crackling sounds, like the phone hitting something.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I just accidentally dropped my phone on the ground. What did you say?"
"I want to date Yi Gui."
After a long while, a very exaggerated sigh came from the other side.
"This, young master, you... you really don't give anyone any time to react." Huang Hu was speechless at this point, unable to even manage a laugh.
Wan Qiu hesitated, "Should I call you again tomorrow? Think about it first?"
"It's nothing. Do you mean you've fallen for Chu Yigui?" Huang Hu asked.
“Yes, I’m thinking about how to get Yi Gui to ask me to date her,” Wan Qiu asked.
Huang Hu's voice was full of helplessness: "Have you already told him about this?"
"I've already said that."
Huang Hu was silent for two seconds: "Then what did he say?"
Yi Gui said he likes me too.
"..." Huang Hu was completely dumbfounded. "So they're already dating?"
"No, Yi Gui said she doesn't want to associate with anyone."
Huang Hu was already having a headache and started pressing his temples. He didn't dare report this to Chu Jianshu.
"Did you do something? If it was consensual, you shouldn't have been rejected, right?"
Wan Qiu thoroughly reflected on his actions.
What did he do during this time?
“I’m doing the same things as before, nothing special.” Wan Qiu thought hard for a moment. “The most special thing is that I’ve recently become very interested in Yi Gui’s body.”
For Huang Hu, this was the first time he realized that making a phone call was a very dangerous thing.
He didn't spend much time with Wan Qiuchu and Yi Gui, and he still considered the two children as brothers.
Why are they all suddenly starting to covet my body?
Does Wan Qiu, who seems so innocent, actually have the potential to be a scumbag?
"We haven't even started dating yet, why are you already eyeing my body?" Huang Hu felt that Wan Qiu's understanding of the order of dating seemed a bit strange.
Wan Qiu did not answer immediately.
It's not that Wanqiu necessarily needs to pay attention to her health.
Rather, this is the biggest difference between love and ordinary daily life that Wanqiu can experience.
Wanqiu was certain that only after realizing she liked something would she want to touch it even more; this must be an expression of love!
Even shyness is an expression of love.
"Because I do a lot of things with Yi Gui every day, this is the only thing that's different from usual," Wan Qiu said honestly.
"That's not how it works."
Huang Hu originally wanted to explain to Wan Qiu what "spiritual love" and "companionship value" meant, but after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that it wouldn't work.
The relationship between Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui seems to have become so intimate that it's almost like they're dating.
"What is it like?" Wan Qiu, who had been waiting for Huang Hu's answer, couldn't help but ask.
Huang Hu, expressionless, gave Wan Qiu a single sentence: "Let nature take its course, and things will fall into place naturally."
Wan Qiu felt that this was not a very good suggestion.
"In the end, the one who tied the knot must untie it. If Chu Yigui is unwilling to associate with him, then the solution lies with him."
Wan Qiu felt that Huang Hu was right.
Wanqiu never considered himself a very smart person, so he always sought other people's opinions.
Chu Yigui was a very intelligent person, and his affairs were always known only to himself.
So, it really does only make sense to ask questions proactively?
Wan Qiu lay on the bed, racking his brains for a way to question Chu Yigui in a way that was neither forceful nor commanding, while still making Chu Yigui willingly date him.
It's so difficult.
It's so hard to be someone's only one.
Wan Qiu sighed quietly.
Huang Hu hesitated for a long time while holding the phone.
Even Lu Qinghe, seeing his expression, asked what had happened.
Huang Hu didn't dare tell Lu Qinghe.
Huang Hu originally wanted to call Chu Jianshu to report the situation, but he hesitated when he thought of Chu Jianshu's serious appearance.
In the end, Huang Hu chose to call Chu Yigui.
After listening to Huang Hu's hesitant explanation, Chu Yigui simply said, "I understand. Thank you so much for making this call."
Chu Yigui's polite demeanor made Huang Hu's feelings somewhat complicated: "Don't you have any other feelings?"
"I will handle it. I will not let the young master get hurt. Please rest assured," Chu Yigui said.
Huang Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "Wan Qiu means that he doesn't want to force you to date him. I'm telling you this not so that you can go along with Wan Qiu."
"I know." Chu Yigui's voice was calm, as if she was completely unaffected. "Don't worry, thank you for your concern."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Hu immediately received a transfer from Chu Yigui.
Huang Hu's motivation was less about the money for the report and more about his concern for Wan Qiu's condition.
Although he wanted to keep it a secret, Wan Qiu trusted others too much and lacked discretion, which was really worrying.
But Chu Yigui's attitude...
That's really strange.
What on earth is going on here?
——
Wan Qiu received Huang Hu's advice: "Let nature take its course, and things will fall into place naturally."
Wan Qiu thought about it for a long time and felt that what Uncle Huang Hu meant was that many things shouldn't be overthinked, because if you try too hard, things won't go smoothly.
Although Wanqiu felt that love was a profound subject, it should indeed be taken slowly.
Little by little, he will learn about love.
We must not rush things.
He will be with Yi Gui for a long time to come, so there's no need to rush.
First, we need to ensure he has more time to spend with Yi Gui, so that there will be more opportunities and time for them to adjust to each other.
The most important thing is that I must go to the same university as Yi Gui.
Although she would experience many exams at school, Wanqiu would take each exam very seriously.
Although Wan Qiu's grades weren't the best, surprisingly, they consistently remained in the upper-middle range of her grade.
The school will directly notify parents of the final school results, and Wanqiu takes the last exam of each semester more seriously than anyone else.
Chu Yigui will still study with Wan Qiu very seriously and explain all the questions to Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu always felt that Chu Yigui was even more capable than the teachers. Each teacher only focused on their own subject, but Chu Yigui was good at everything.
Wan Qiu sometimes wondered if Chu Yigui would have become a teacher if she hadn't gone to work at her father's company.
While doing his homework, Wanqiu voiced his curiosity.
"I don't know," Chu Yigui said, turning her head to Wan Qiu. "I've never really thought about the future before."
Wan Qiu stared longingly at Chu Yigui.
I haven't thought about the future...
In the hazy moments of autumn, I realized that I seemed to be like that too.
In those days when he was barely clothed and had no food, all he thought about was how to survive.
Wan Qiu lay on the table: "The future I envision right now is going to the same university as Yi Gui."
Chu Yigui stood beside Wan Qiu, her gaze softening considerably.
He reached out and pulled Wanqiu up from the table.
Behind Wanqiu's chair, he held Wanqiu in his arms, placing his hands across Wanqiu's shoulders and pressing down on them to prevent him from lying down any further.
"The future I envision is one where I can become your... support." Chu Yigui ultimately replaced the word 'assistant' with 'support'.
This is perhaps what he really thinks.
They never thought about the future.
They now have each other in the future.
Wan Qiu tapped Chu Yigui's arm with the tip of his pen: "This makes it hard for me to do my homework."
"Your posture is terrible. Don't just lie on the table like that," Chu Yigui said to Wan Qiu.
"My dance teachers all say I dance very well," Wan Qiu said somewhat unconvinced. "My posture is very beautiful."
"Mmm." Chu Yigui's reply carried a barely perceptible hint of laughter.
"Can hugging correct posture?" Wan Qiu asked. "The Chu Yi Gui Posture Correction Method?"
Chu Yigui smiled.
The deep voice whispered in Wan Qiu's ear, as if carrying soft, delicate hooks, constantly teasing Wan Qiu's thoughts.
As Wan Qiu felt the warmth emanating from Chu Yigui, he seemed to understand why Huang Hu had said, "Let nature take its course, and things will fall into place naturally."
The intimacy between Yi Gui and me now is definitely a natural outcome.
They've been having a lot more opportunities to kiss and hug each other lately.
The intimacy that used to only occur on special occasions or when it was important now seems to have gradually become intertwined with everyday life.
very nice.
Wan Qiu suddenly turned his head and kissed Chu Yigui on the chin.
Chu Yigui's body stiffened.
He slowly let go of her hand and sat back down in the seat where he had been watching Wan Qiu do her homework.
Wan Qiu tilted his head: "Chu Yi Gui Posture Correction Method?"
Chu Yigui smiled and nudged Wan Qiu with one finger to turn him to look at his face, making Wan Qiu look at his homework.
Wan Qiu looked at the text in front of him, which was clearly very complicated and seemed endless, making him restless and irritable.
Now, however, it seems as if every word is leaping with its own unique charm.
Chu Yigui's vacation started earlier than Wan Qiu's. The atmosphere at university was relaxed, so Wan Qiu often saw Chu Yigui heading to the company.
Wan Qiu had occasionally wondered when Chu Yigui went out for private social events, although Chu Yigui always said that he didn't need to worry too much and that he got along well with his classmates.
Wanqiu is a believer.
At least Wan Qiu had never seen Chu Yigui or any of the other classmates in a bad light.
Moreover, Wan Qiu felt that Chu Yigui was definitely more approachable now than before.
During the final exams, Wan Qiu was really looking forward to her date with Chu Yigui during the holiday after the exams.
Get good results.
Show it to Mom and Dad, and they'll be happy.
Then he went on a date with Chu Yigui.
Then take some nice photos of the date and send them to your older brother.
You can bring back gifts for your second brother.
It's perfect.
Wanqiu is already looking forward to the date.
Wan Qiu wondered if, although he and Yi Gui hadn't started dating yet, if Yi Gui asked him out, wouldn't that mean she was pursuing him?
Even though it's uncertain, thinking about it this way makes me feel good.
When Wan Qiu handed in her paper and walked out of the classroom, her heart was already pounding.
Chu Yigui didn't say when the date would be, so is it possible that it's today?
But it's more likely to happen tomorrow.
Wanqiu excitedly ran towards the school gate and saw the familiar car parked there in the distance.
The steps beneath my feet seemed to become lighter as a result.
However, when Wanqiu saw that the person getting out of the vehicle was Yang Xiaoyu, an even greater joy instantly enveloped Wanqiu.
"Mother!"
Amidst the astonished gazes of the high school students, Wan Qiu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Yang Xiaoyu.
"Mom's home!"
Wan Qiu is already as tall as Yang Xiaoyu, but he still acts like a child, always hugging Yang Xiaoyu and acting cute.
"Oh, baby, Mommy missed you so much!" Yang Xiaoyu reached out and pressed Wanqiu's head, fully expressing her joy. "Mommy brought you so many gifts, and sent them all back to the main house. Let's go open them together!"
Wan Qiu released Yang Xiaoyu and looked at the gorgeous and beautiful woman in front of him.
Although it had been a while since I'd seen Yang Xiaoyu, she hadn't changed at all.
Wan Qiu stared longingly at Yang Xiaoyu.
"Hmm? Honey, what's wrong? Did Mommy's makeup get messed up?"
Under Wan Qiu's gaze, Yang Xiaoyu asked a question, and even wanted to take out a mirror to see if there was anything wrong with her face.
Wanqiu suddenly said, "I miss my mother too. Mom, I love you."
Yang Xiaoyu was taken aback, her delicate eyebrows raised, her eyes filled with joy and excitement: "Oh my, when did our baby start to speak such sweet words? Mommy is so happy!"
Wan Qiu smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
But she still leaned close to Yang Xiaoyu and said, "I love you."
Wanqiu realized that 'love needs to be expressed'.
He not only wants to express his love to Chu Yigui, but also to everyone else.
Yang Xiaoyu was overjoyed to receive Wan Qiu's confession.
Yang Xiaoyu gently rubbed Wanqiu's soft hair with both hands, looking at Wanqiu who was swaying and staggering under her care, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
"Mommy loves our baby so much too," Yang Xiaoyu said. "Mommy took our baby out for something delicious today!"
Wanqiu is indeed clever and obedient.
Not only Yang Xiaoyu came, but Chu Yigui also acted as the driver.
When they arrived at Yuehao, Chu Jianshu and Yang Ze also came along.
They had dinner together.
They even went to a small park in winter, where they took lots of photos in the brightly lit park.
Wan Qiu sent the photos to the family group chat, and Chu Zhang, who hadn't been able to participate at all, wailed and went crazy in the group chat.
Wan Qiu felt happy to spend time with her family even though she couldn't go on a date with Chu Yigui today.
Turning around, Wan Qiu saw Chu Yigui standing with her family.
His handsome features, hidden behind the scarf, could not be concealed even by the dim light of the night.
Chu Yigui met Wan Qiu's gaze.
The white mist from their breath dissipated and disappeared.
Wan Qiu knew that Chu Yigui smiled at him.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaoyu stepped in front of Wan Qiu, blocking Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui from looking at each other.
When Wan Qiu listened to Yang Xiaoyu and smiled at the camera, Wan Qiu did not sense anything unusual.
The next day, Yang Xiaoyu said at breakfast that she was going to take Wanqiu out to play.
“But I haven’t done my homework yet,” Wan Qiu said.
"It won't be a problem if you don't do your homework for a day or two. Our little one has finally made it to winter vacation. If you really can't finish, you can ask someone in the family to help you."
As always, Yang Xiaoyu acted unpredictably, and Wan Qiu felt that her older brother must have inherited his mother's personality.
Wan Qiu had no way of refusing Yang Xiaoyu.
Wan Qiu merely glanced at Chu Yigui.
Chu Yigui sat quietly in her seat, eating her breakfast.
Chu Yigui would still accompany them when they went out, but most of the time Yang Xiaoyu would hold Wan Qiu's hand and wander around.
The next day, Yang Xiaoyu had a new place she wanted to go.
The third day was the same.
On the fourth day, Yang Xiaoyu seemed to have no intention of giving Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui a chance to be alone together.
While doing her homework, Wan Qiu secretly glanced up at Chu Yigui.
Chu Yigui's expression was calm, and she seemed unaffected.
But Wanqiu knew that their date seemed to be delayed for a long time.
Wanqiu felt inexplicably a little anxious.
On the fifth day, during breakfast, Yang Xiaoyu mentioned wanting to go somewhere else to play.
Chu Yigui put down the cutlery in her hand.
"Aunt Yang, may I make a request?" When Chu Yigui's voice rang out at the dining table, the atmosphere at breakfast froze for a few seconds in an eerie silence.
Yang Xiaoyu casually fiddled with the small spoon in her hand, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Yigui.
"Let me hear what your request is?"
Wan Qiu's heart skipped a beat; he seemed to know what Chu Yigui was about to say.
"Wanqiu and I have arranged to have a date alone. Could you give us a day?"
Chu Yigui's bluntness made Chu Jianshu frown and Yang Ze look puzzled.
“You’re with the baby every day when I’m not home, so there’s no need to take up the baby’s time during the holidays, right?” Yang Xiaoyu’s red lips curled slightly, showing no intention of backing down.
Chu Yigui, however, did not change her mind: "I only need one day."
"No, I've finally come back to China, I want to play with my baby."
Yang Xiaoyu, however, did not give Chu Yigui any chance to refute.
Yang Xiaoyu even refused Chu Yigui's offer to accompany her this time.
"Oh, I'm so jealous! Today, my darling is only going out with me; you're not allowed to come along!"
Chu Yigui frowned.
"Yi Gui, come to work with me today. You haven't been to work for the past few days," Chu Jianshu made the decision directly.
Chu Yigui showed a rare hint of defiance, with a hint of anxiety showing between her brows.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaoyu put down her cutlery, directly interrupting Chu Yigui's train of thought.
Yang Xiaoyu stood up and, while Wan Qiu was still in a daze, went to Wan Qiu's side and took Wan Qiu's wrist.
"Let's go, Mom will take you to have breakfast somewhere else today. Jingyue recommended a very unique little shop to me before."
As Wan Qiu was pulled away by Yang Xiaoyu, Chu Yigui also stood up.
Chu Yigui seemed to want to stop him, but in the end she just stood there.
When Wan Qiu looked back at Chu Yigui, he could still see his tightly furrowed brows and the anxiety he could no longer hide.
When Wan Qiu was led into the car by Yang Xiaoyu, he stared at Yang Xiaoyu expectantly.
Yang Xiaoyu seemed to be in a very good mood.
She even started humming a song.
"Is Mom happy?" Wan Qiu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, of course, something interesting has finally happened, and I'm very happy." Yang Xiaoyu's voice rose at the end, clearly showing that she was genuinely happy.
"Is the interesting thing about Yi Gui's request?" Wan Qiu asked.
However, Yang Xiaoyu only gave Wan Qiu a meaningful look before driving away from the main house.
If we're really talking about the things Yang Xiaoyu does, most of them are actually related to consumption.
But today, Yang Xiaoyu took Wan Qiu to many places she wouldn't normally take him.
Yang Xiaoyu was going to do a hair treatment, and Wan Qiu followed suit and tidied her own hairstyle.
Yang Xiaoyu got a facial, and Wan Qiu followed suit.
Wan Qiu followed Yang Xiaoyu to buy new clothes, and he changed into a new outfit.
Yang Xiaoyu went to the cosmetics counter and even did some light makeup for Wan Qiu when she had nothing else to do.
However, Wanqiu seemed somewhat depressed throughout the process.
Wan Qiu always remembered Chu Yigui's expression before he left, making it impossible for him to fully immerse himself in the entertainment he shared with Yang Xiaoyu.
"Mom." When Yang Xiaoyu brought Wan Qiu to the coffee shop, Wan Qiu finally couldn't help but call out to Yang Xiaoyu.
"Hmm?" Yang Xiaoyu tilted her head, resting her chin on one hand, and looked at Wan Qiu with a half-smile.
Wan Qiu had never rebelled against his mother before, and now what he wanted to do seemed to be related to rebelling against Yang Xiaoyu.
I'm very nervous.
For Wan Qiu, saying what he wanted to say felt like taking on a very difficult challenge.
"What's wrong? Does your baby want to say something to Mommy?" Yang Xiaoyu squinted at Wan Qiu.
He was usually very impatient, but when waiting for Wanqiu to speak, he was incredibly patient.
Wan Qiu hesitated for a moment and lowered his head.
The warm aroma of hot cocoa wafted in front of him.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled quietly.
Soothing music plays inside the store.
All of this seemed to be preparing for Wanqiu to speak.
Wanqiu's fingers unconsciously tangled together.
Finally, Wan Qiu looked up and met Yang Xiaoyu's gaze.
"Mom, Yigui and I..."
Wan Qiu's voice trembled slightly.
This seemingly defiant emotion terrified Wan Qiu.
"Yi Gui and I made a promise to go on a date after the exam..."
"Mother……"
"I'd like to go on a date with Yi Gui, is that okay?"
