He likes you a little bit
The next morning, Song Shuyang woke up hungry before eight o'clock. He went downstairs to find something to eat. Seeing that only Jiang Ying's friend was in the living room, he walked up and greeted her warmly.
After playing together for a day yesterday, they had basically become familiar with each other. He knew that this person's surname was Han, and everyone called him Brother Han, so he followed suit.
Brother Han smiled and said, "At my age, I'm more than old enough to be your uncle. Just call me uncle."
Song Shuyang thought to himself, I won’t let you take advantage of this, so he went into the kitchen without paying any attention.
There was a faint aroma of rice in the air, and at first glance it turned out to be Jin Zhou busy in the kitchen. Thinking back to what happened last night, Song Shuyang was still a little embarrassed, and walked up to him without saying a word.
Jin Zhou caught a glimpse of him and took the initiative to speak: "I didn't eat longevity noodles yesterday, so I'll make it up to you today."
He had already fried two golden and crispy sunny-side-up eggs and was putting noodles into the soup bowl.
Song Shuyang's stomach growled appropriately.
Jin Zhou helped him carry the bowl of noodles out and said, "Eat quickly. I'll take you back to school after you finish."
Song Shuyang sat down at the dining table and turned around to ask him, "What about you? Oh, no, where are Sister Ying and the others?"
He then realized that this was Han City, not Jiang City. Even if Jin Zhou came all the way here to celebrate his birthday, Jiang Ying's relationship with him wasn't that deep, right?
Jin Zhou knew what he meant and explained to him: "Jiang Ying and her girlfriend are both from Han City and were admitted to Jiang University. Now they want to return to their hometown to develop their careers, and they want to bring me along too."
"What do you mean, you're going to stay here from now on?"
"Uh-huh, what's wrong? Are you not welcome?"
Song Shuyang looked at him for a moment, then immediately lowered his head in panic to eat noodles.
He didn't know how to tell Jin Zhou that he had returned to school early just to avoid him.
As for why he wanted to hide, he didn't know. He didn't hate Jin Zhou, nor did he hate being with him. He was even very happy when they were together, but he just subconsciously wanted to escape from him.
"So what are you going to do here?"
"My old business. I'm going to open a bar with Jiang Ying."
Seeing that Brother Han was still in the living room, Song Shuyang lowered his voice and asked, "Then can you please stop selling meat?"
Jin Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "In your heart, I'm just a drinking companion, right?"
Song Shuyang muttered fearlessly, "It's not that clean."
Song Shuyang had classes this afternoon. In the morning, Jin Zhou drove him around. In order to show his hospitality, Song Shuyang also treated him to a bowl of beef noodles and rushed to the classroom before the afternoon bell rang.
Fortunately, he and Guo Zixiu were in the same major but different classes, otherwise it would have been so awkward to see each other in the classroom. But then he thought that no matter how hard he tried to hide, he still had to go back to the dormitory to sleep tonight, and his face wrinkled again.
"Please ask the student with a sad face to answer this question."
Song Shuyang heard someone calling out to him before he could react. It was not until his classmate next to him called his name that he stood up as if waking up from a dream.
"What's the problem, teacher?" he asked.
Teacher: "...Forget it, sit down and listen to the class carefully."
He sat down but didn't listen. After all, it was a water conservation class. He spent the entire class evaluating whether he felt more uncomfortable with Jin Zhou or Guo Zixiu. The final summary report was: It would be better to ask Jin Zhou for shelter. At least he wouldn't try to kiss him forcefully.
He thought of the right words and sent a message to Jin Zhou: [Brother!!! Help! There are mice in my dorm. Can I stay at your place for a few days?]
Jin Zhou: [Let me guess, that rat named Guo is from the same profession as you, right?]
Esby, save me: […How did you know?]
Esby, save me: [[covering face]]
Jin Zhou didn't waste any time talking to him and just sent him an address which was quite close to his school.
After class, he didn't even dare to go back to the dormitory and ran straight over. It was a residential area. When he arrived at the door, coincidentally, Jin Zhou just drove over.
He got into Jin Zhou's car and saw a lot of miscellaneous daily necessities piled up in the back seat. He asked him, "Are you going to rob this neighborhood next?"
Jin Zhou hummed, "You go up later and I'll keep watch for you down there. Hurry up, we still have three more communities to steal today."
"Okay!"
After finishing the abstract seriously, both of them couldn't help laughing.
Song Shuyang stopped laughing and asked him seriously, "Did you just rent this house?"
"I stole it."
"Can you please be serious? How did you come up with the idea of renting a house next to my school?"
Jin Zhou said that because the rent was cheap, he believed it and didn't ask any more questions.
Following Jin Zhou upstairs, all the houses in this complex are apartment-style suites, very suitable for one person or a couple to live in. The house area is not particularly large, but it has everything you need. The apartment Jin Zhou rented faces south, the bedroom is large, and there is a floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the river. It has good lighting during the day and is not afraid of noise at night.
Although Jin Zhou's bedroom on the second floor of his small Western-style building had a bay window, the large camphor tree blocked most of the light. Even at noon on a sunny day, the room was still dim without a light on, making the already small space seem even darker and more cramped. Song Nian had suggested that he move downstairs to live with Song Shuyang, but he declined, saying that he didn't like the room to be too bright.
When he was a child, Song Shuyang was heartless and was not very happy about Jin Zhou occupying his room. Later, when he grew up a little, he vaguely realized that Jin Zhou was really not very comfortable living in his home. He felt guilty and wanted to compensate him in other ways, so he sent him the cake on that snowy night.
Now looking at the house he rented, the guilt that had been pent up in his heart surged out like crazy. Who doesn't yearn for sunshine? Who likes to squeeze in a small room of more than ten square meters? Jin is addicted to compromising. I don't know who he is pretending to be pitiful for every day.
His voice was muffled. "When I buy a house in the future, I'll leave you a bigger bedroom."
Jin Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll benefit from you from now on."
Song Shuyang was taken to visit the kitchen, balcony, and a storage room. Jin Zhou said he wanted to transform it into a workshop so that he could concentrate on his creation in the future.
Song Shuyang thought of their long-pending live broadcasting project and suddenly asked Jin Zhou, "Did you bring the live broadcasting equipment from home? We can start live broadcasting again when we have time."
"I have it. It's all in the box."
"Then I'll help you move it."
Luckily, there was an elevator, and since the stuff wasn't too much, it took only three trips to move everything. Song Shuyang helped with the unpacking and packaging, while Jin Zhou set about arranging the house. By eight o'clock that evening, the house had been transformed into the outlines of a cozy little home.
Song Shuyang touched his chin and felt that Jin Zhou was still a little too boring. He had to find time to help him buy some vases and ornaments to decorate his room.
His outlook on life was influenced by Song Nian. He would feel good when he saw flowers and plants. He even grew two pots of mint in the tiny dormitory. There was so much open space at Jin Zhou's house that he could use it. Since he was taking refuge at someone's house, he had to bring some gifts.
Jin Zhou put away their toothbrushes and towels and asked him, "Are you hungry?"
"What nonsense! I've been helping you with your work for over two hours."
"Let's go out and eat. It's too late to buy food now."
The two of them went downstairs and had a bowl of noodles. Young Master Song paid for it, but his smugness only lasted until he got on the elevator.
He realized one thing.
Jin Zhou only has one bedroom and one bed.
He's a young gay who just confirmed his sexual orientation, and he's also a young gay who likes mature thin-muscled men. Can he bear to sleep in the same bed with Jin Zhou!?
But it felt weird to bring it up deliberately, as if he had some thoughts about Jin Zhou.
Jin Zhou didn't make things difficult for him. After washing up, he lay down on the sofa and reminded him: "Don't turn the air conditioner too low, or you'll catch a cold again."
"oh."
"Do you have classes at 8am tomorrow?"
"have."
"Okay, I'll wake you up at 7:20. Remember to send me a copy of your class schedule."
"Oh, then I'm going to bed."
Jin Zhou finally had a large bedroom, but he ended up occupying someone else's home. He felt guilty and immediately placed orders for several kinds of bouquets on his mobile phone.
After exiting the shopping app, he saw that the group "Loving Family" was chatting animatedly. These were the same group of people who had celebrated his birthday together yesterday. They had spent the day together and found that they got along well, so they created a group and planned to make an appointment to play together next time they had a holiday.
Song Shuyang had only been in Han City for more than a year, and his circle of friends was limited to the school. Everyone was a student, and there were very few people who loved to play like him. It was rare for him to come into contact with circles outside the school, but he quickly integrated into them.
He saw Jiang Ying calling everyone to sing on Friday, and he enthusiastically raised his hands to sign up: "Me, me, me, I want to go too!"
Jiang Ying: [You can come, but let's make it clear that your brother can only sing three songs at most.]
Qi Mingyuan: [Agreed, I won't charge Jin Zhou any commission if he sings more than three songs]
Ge Dongdong: [+1]
Thanks to Esbi: [Why?]
Cici: [Jin Zhou was already very famous in the circle when he played in a band with Sister Ying in the early years]
Song Shuyang knew that Jin Zhou had been in a band when he was in college and had performed in commercial shows all over the country. He had accumulated the original capital for opening a bar through this, but he really didn't know he was so famous.
No wonder Jiang Ying’s friends acted like they were very familiar with him yesterday, and thought everyone was just friendly.
Someone named "Leo" suddenly said: "Just come, I'll pay the bill."
For some reason, the group chat that was lively a moment ago suddenly became quiet after this person finished speaking.
Song Shuyang remembered several people he played with yesterday. Most of them changed their real names when joining the group. He could use the process of elimination to know who this person was. It should be Brother Han who asked him to call him uncle in the morning.
In fact, he also felt that this uncle was a bit greasy, but he couldn't bear to see the words being left on the ground, so he could only pick up the conversation himself: [Brother Han, you are too polite [Rose]]
Just after this message was sent, Jiang Ying suddenly sent him a private message: [Don’t talk too much with that Han brother, he’s a bit of a scoundrel.]
Thank you Esby: [Huh? Why? Isn't he your friend?]
Jiang Ying: [I wouldn't call him a friend. He's an investor of Ge Dongdong's. He's in his thirties and still likes hanging out with young people. If he didn't have some connections, I wouldn't want to bring him along.]
Thank you Esby: [What's the relationship? ]
Jiang Ying: [Don't ask around, kid. This is something your brother will take care of when he opens a shop. It has nothing to do with you.]
After she finished posting this, she added to the group chat: [Brother Han is so generous [fist hug]]
Song Shuyang complained silently in his heart, is this the world of adults...
He swiped out of the group chat and saw one more friend request. It was Brother Han who wanted to add him.
Thinking of what Jiang Ying had just said, this person seemed to be helpful to Jin Zhou in opening a store, so he chose to approve it without hesitation.
The other party quickly sent a message: [Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Han Zhuqing, I work in the investment industry]
Song Shuyang had a habit of checking out everyone's Moments whenever he added a new friend. He glanced through Han Zhuqing's Moments and discovered that this person was even more pretentious than Jin Zhou. Every post he made exuded a sense of frivolous intellectual youth, like this one:
Not every tide needs a harbor, not every flying bird will embark on its homeward journey. The splendor of life lies in the continuation of beauty. Sometimes, a cup of coffee is enough.
The accompanying picture shows him drinking coffee on a plane, presumably in business class.
Song Shuyang quickly retreated without even taking a second look.
He greeted politely: [Hello, Brother Han, my name is Song Shuyang]
Leo: [Birthday gift for Shuyang [red envelope]]
Leo: [I was in a hurry yesterday and didn’t buy you a gift, so I’ll make it up to you today]
Song Shuyang: [[Received] Thank you, Brother Han]
Those who came to celebrate his birthday yesterday all expressed their gratitude to him in some way. After all, Jin Zhou had treated them to several thousand yuan of food, drinks and entertainment for the whole day, so Song Shuyang thought it was reasonable to give them a gift today instead of a gift yesterday. It was only about a hundred yuan anyway.
With his harmless face, he was used to accepting kindness from the outside world and naturally would not think about it in a messy way.
Song Shuyang felt a little sleepy and just turned off his phone to go to sleep when Han Zhuqing sent him another message: [I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free]
Song Shuyang: [That’s not necessary.]
Han Zhuqing: [Little boy, don't be polite to your uncle. You must have just started school here. Uncle will take you to a very authentic local restaurant.]
Song Shuyang: [Really, no need, Brother Han]
He emphasized the title so much because he didn't want to be taken advantage of for no reason, but in the other party's eyes, the meaning was a little different.
Han Zhuqing: [Haha, if you want to call me brother, go ahead. See you on Friday night.]
Han Zhuqing: [Go to bed early, good night, little friend]
Song Shuyang got goosebumps all over his body. He wanted to take a screenshot and complain to Jin Zhou, but he was afraid that he would laugh at him. In the end, he suppressed his strong desire to complain, put down his phone, and went to sleep!
He slept until dawn, and when he was half asleep he heard Jin Zhou knocking on the door, "Song Shuyang, it's time for you to go to class."
"Well...sleep for ten more minutes. Call me at 7:30. Please, brother."
He turned over and fell asleep again.
It felt like only ten seconds had passed when Jin Zhou knocked on the door for the second time. "It's half past seven, you can get up now."
"Ah——" Song Shuyang shouted in annoyance with his eyes closed.
He felt annoyed when he heard Jin Zhou calling him to get up. When he was a child, he was violently woken up by this guy every day. How come he finally made it to college and fell back into his clutches again!
"I'm coming in."
Jin Zhou pushed the door open and was amused by the fact that Song Shuyang showed no signs of waking up.
He couldn't help but walk over and kneel on one knee on the bed and pinch his face.
"Oh, I'm so annoyed!" Song Shuyang crawled under the quilt to avoid his harassment, "Stop pinching me, or my oval face will be ruined!"
Jin Zhou became more aggressive and rode on him, pinching his ticklish spots through the quilt. Song Shuyang kept twisting his body inside. The two of them were making a mess. No one knew what happened, but they suddenly stopped.
Song Shuyang got out of the bed with a red face, "I'm up, you... go out for a while."
Jin Zhou also stood up somewhat unnaturally, "Hurry up, try not to be late for professional classes."
An accident happened in the morning and Song Shuyang didn't even have the appetite to eat breakfast. As soon as Jin Zhou's car arrived at the school gate, he quickly opened the door and drove away.
Although it is normal to have some accidents early in the morning at this age when one is full of vigor and vitality, and this kind of thing has happened frequently in the past, and it is not the first time that Jin Zhou has seen it, he doesn't know why he cares about it now.
Maybe it was a psychological change, Jin Zhou was no longer just a brother to him, but also an adult male whose face and figure met his aesthetic standards.
When he saw Jin Zhou, he would blush and his heart would beat faster. He had to give himself some time to figure out what was going on.
I walked into the classroom on time. It was a large class and the entire major was attending together. Guo Zixiu was also there.
When their eyes met, Song Shuyang wanted to look away, but Guo Zixiu stopped him.
The other person pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit here. I brought you the book."
Song Shuyang said "thank you" and sat down next to him. After brewing for half a class, he finally said, "I'm sorry about that night."
Guo Zixiu leaned over the table and muttered, "There's nothing to be sorry about. We weren't meant to be together anyway."
Song Shuyang scratched his head and said, "You're a good person, but I might not like your type."
"You're not, that or something..." He wrote the number "0" on the textbook.
Song Shuyang's eyes were deep, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be."
Guo Zixiu sighed, "Is there any 1 left in this world? How come even you are..."
"Shhhhh, keep your voice down," Song Shuyang turned around to make sure no one was looking at them strangely, "Are you going to destroy me?"
"Hey, I think your brother is pretty good, why don't you introduce him to me."
"Get out of here!"
"Why? You should keep it for yourself."
Song Shuyang's cheeks flushed red. Afraid of being discovered by the teacher, he hid his face under the desk and cursed Guo Zixiu in a low voice, "Are you sick? He is my brother."
"What are you afraid of? He's not your real brother. Isn't he just your child husband?"
Guo Zixiu's three words hit Song Shuyang in the face like a punch, almost knocking him unconscious. "What are you talking about? He and I have never gotten along since we were young."
"That's just your opinion. I think he likes you a little bit."
"You fart!"
"Then send me his WeChat."
Song Shuyang: "...Do you really have to be my sister-in-law?"
In the end, the teacher pulled them both to the first row to attend the class.
