Very human, keep up the good work
Hearing that Song Shuyang was going to bring a girl home, Song Nian immediately started a massive renovation, calling on Jin Jiaan, who had recently been resting at home, and Jin Zhou, a night owl, to renovate the small western-style house from top to bottom. He even installed an air conditioner in Song Shuyang's bedroom for the first time and replaced all four pieces of bed sets with silk. After learning everything, Song Shuyang cried on the phone, "I think I was picked up!"
Jin Zhou came up to Song Nian and taunted him, "If you bring your girlfriend back more often, maybe I can even get a Taishin computer."
The little sun on the phone exploded at once, "We haven't confirmed the relationship yet, what nonsense are you talking about? She just came to visit and stayed at our house for a few days. If you want to envy my good relationship with the opposite sex, go find one yourself, you old bachelor."
"How do you talk to your brother like that!" Song Nian scolded softly.
Song Shuyang: "A little bit."
Jin Zhou snorted and laughed, "He just started dating and is feeling cocky. Don't bother with him."
"You're the only one who's generous and sensible, right? You're still my brother, but isn't this just a green tea..."
Before he could finish, Song Nian hung up the phone angrily and gave Jin Zhou an apologetic smile, "Yangyang has been a chatterbox since he was a child, don't take it to heart."
Jin Zhou still smiled and said, "I won't argue with him."
Song Nian specially sent Jin Zhou to drive over to pick him up to show the family's importance. The moment he saw Jin Zhou carrying luggage for himself and his senior sister, Song Shuyang felt so happy from the soles of his feet to the top of his head that his back even straightened.
In order to maintain his image as the little guitar prince in front of his senior, Song Shuyang and Jin Zhou acted like brothers along the way. One of them said, "Thank you for your hard work in picking me up, brother," and the other said, "You must be tired from flying, little brother," which made Song Shuyang so embarrassed that he got goosebumps.
Chen Xi asked, "What's wrong, Yangyang? Are you cold?"
Before Song Shuyang could answer, he heard a faint voice coming from the front: "Yangyang~"
In front of the attractive female guest, Song Shuyang could only puff out his cheeks, choose to endure and not bother with the dog!
He stared out the window to calm down, and saw the car slowly drive into a small alley. There was a blue house number plate hanging at the entrance of the alley, which read: No. 69 Qingmei Lane.
After turning a corner, the road became wider and the car stopped in front of a two-story building covered with vines. After the car stopped, Jin Zhou said, "You and your friend go in first. I'll take the suitcase."
Chen Xi said "Thank you, brother" obediently. Song Shuyang followed her. When he saw Jin Zhou get out of the car, he ran over and patted him on the butt. "Okay, you're showing some understanding of human nature. Keep it up."
After saying this, he ran away as fast as if he was afraid of being retaliated against.
Jin Zhou was touched by his smirk, snorted, and pulled the hem of his T-shirt down.
Shen Xi walked forward slowly and couldn't help but sigh: "Your house is so beautiful, Yangyang."
"My ancestor seemed to be a wealthy businessman. Originally, the entire Qingmei Lane belonged to our family. Later, it fell into decline and only this building remained. It's actually just beautiful to look at, but it's uncomfortable to live in. There are too many trees around, and in the summer, it's full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants."
"Ah, there are snakes?"
"Of course there are. Look at how thick the vines are. But it's good to have snakes around. They keep the mice away." The straight man Song Shuyang didn't notice Chen Xi's pale face at all. He was talking to himself smugly.
Jin Zhou followed behind him and wanted to laugh when he heard it.
Entering the courtyard, Song Nian had been waiting under the camphor tree for who knows how long. Seeing the admiration on Chen Xi's face, he couldn't hide it and hurried over to greet her, "Are you tired from flying, Xiao Shen? Have you eaten yet? Auntie has made a few of her specialties for you to try."
Chen Xi answered her question politely, and the family walked into the living room and sat down at the dining table.
She enthusiastically introduced him to Chen Xi, "This is Uncle Jin. You should know him. He's Yangyang's brother. You can ask him to take you to the bar he opened tonight."
Jin Zhou poured Chen Xi a drink and said, "You're welcome anytime."
Chen Xi couldn't help but stare at the man in front of her for a few more seconds.
He was very handsome, but definitely not the type she would actively provoke. This man had very superior bone structure, deep eyebrows, and a pair of slightly upturned peach blossom eyes that were captivating. There was a faint dark blue under his eyes, and a small red mole under his thin lips, which formed an isosceles triangle with the moles under his eyes and on his neck.
She instinctively felt danger and didn't want to get close.
But she still smiled sweetly, "Thank you, brother."
Jin Zhou glanced at her and said with a smirk, "Song Shuyang, your friends are much more human than you."
Song Shuyang said angrily: "My praise for your understanding of human nature just now was really in vain!"
"That's enough, you two," Song Nian was already used to their daily bickering. She was just worried that Chen Xi would think the family atmosphere was bad, so she explained to her, "Yangyang and his brother have a good relationship. That's just how they get along. Don't be offended."
Song Shuyang subconsciously wanted to retort, "Who has a good relationship with him?", but belatedly realized that this was an occasion to bring his future girlfriend to meet his parents, so he had to shut up awkwardly.
After dinner, Jin Jiaan cleaned up the dishes and Jin Zhou went upstairs to catch up on his sleep.
Now that his unlucky brother was gone, Song Shuyang's aura relaxed a lot. He sat on the sofa and listened to Chen Xi and Song Nian chatting, occasionally interjecting a few words.
As he listened, he felt bored again. Thinking of Jin Zhou who had to go to work in the evening, Song Shuyang had a bad idea.
"Mom, I'm going upstairs to catch up with Jin Zhou. You two can continue chatting."
Song Nian tried to stop him but failed. Fortunately, Chen Xi was quite outgoing and didn't feel awkward being left out. He could only smile apologetically, "Yangyang has always loved playing with his brother since he was little. Don't mind."
Shen Xi shook her head, "It's okay, Auntie, I like chatting with you."
Song Nian thought to himself that if it weren't for her, Song Shuyang, a straight man, would probably never have a girlfriend in his life.
Thinking about this, I feel a little worried. When will this child come to his senses and stop following his brother around all day?
…
Song Shuyang kicked open Jin Zhou's bedroom door and laughed like a villain.
Jin Zhou hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was half lying down playing with his phone. "Oh, Brother Regret is visiting my humble abode."
"Get lost," Song Shuyang pulled up a stool and sat down as if he was in his own room, and laughed again, "Hey, brother, I'm about to fall in love. Are you feeling bad?"
He usually calls Jin Zhou various names, but never calls him brother. If he does, it means he's itching to be a loser.
"It's so painful, so painful," Jin Zhou sat up and pointed at the trash can beside the bed. "See the paper balls in this trash can? They are all the tears I cried."
Then he pretended to beat his chest and stamp his feet, "This love! How come Song Shuyang got it first?"
He overacted, which made Song Shuyang a little embarrassed. He coughed uncomfortably and said, "It's too much, Mr. Jin."
Jin Zhou immediately burst into laughter, rolling on the bed, and asked him again: "Who is chasing who?"
Song Shuyang immediately straightened his chest and became confident again, "Of course she is pursuing me."
"Okay, the little girl has good taste." Jin Zhou didn't know how he really began to understand human nature. "My brother is handsome and can play the guitar. The only problem is his height..."
Song Shuyang's tail, which had just been stroked and stood up, suddenly fell back to the ground. He was so angry that he climbed onto the bed and tickled Jin Zhou's waist, "Get out of here, Esby!"
Jin Zhou smiled and begged for mercy: "Hahaha... I was wrong... Hahaha..."
After the commotion, Song Shuyang finally calmed down a bit. Seeing a blind box doll of a popular IP on his bedside table, which was a hidden edition, he casually put it in his pocket and said, "Thank you."
A very polite child.
Jin Zhou narrowed his eyes, "Did I let you take it?"
Song Shuyang said with a sad face: "Shouldn't the elder brother give the good things to the younger brother?"
Jin Zhou hooked his finger, "Then call me brother and let me hear it."
Song Shuyang cupped his hands and shouted with full energy: "Brother!"
"Oh, no, you're yelling like that, Gege~"
Song Shuyang got goosebumps and pushed Jin Zhou onto the bed. "Are you disgusting?"
Jin Zhou fell down without saying a word, and Song Shuyang ransacked his room like a gangster. His room was not big. There was a 1.5-meter bed against the wall, and a computer desk and a wardrobe next to the bed. If the wardrobe door was opened, it would be difficult for people to pass through the empty space.
Even so, Song Shuyang still walked around like he was at a vegetable market, took away a piece of his clothing and a bag of snacks, then sat in front of his computer and asked, "Have you written any songs recently?"
Jin Zhou put down his phone and stretched, looking like he was getting ready for bed. "I haven't written anything yet. I'm busy."
"Aren't you the boss?"
"Bullshit boss, DJing, bartending, and occasionally even acting as a mood-setter. He might as well be a male model."
Song Shuyang snorted, "Do you have that figure?"
Jin Zhou boldly lifted the hem of his T-shirt, revealing his six-pack abs, "I'm still not good enough."
Song Shuyang leaned over to take a look, and he didn't expect that this bastard, who used to compete with him for scores and rankings, was now competing with him to improve his figure. His abdominal muscles were not exaggerated, and not greasy like those of ordinary muscular men. He was lean and strong, and girls would like him very much.
Song Shuyang tutted in dissatisfaction, "Just wait for me, I'll practice the eight-piece when I come back after the New Year."
Jin Zhou hit him with a pillow and said, "Get out of here now and don't disturb your brother's sleep."
Song Shuyang took the loot he had looted from his room and handed it to Chen Xi like a treasure. Chen Xi was surprised and said, "Wow, isn't this a hidden gem?"
Song Nian smiled and said, "You young people all like this. I saw there's an identical one in Xiaozhou's room."
Song Shuyang supported himself with his hands and jumped from the back of the sofa to the front and sat down. "This is in his room."
"You took my brother's things again!"
"I call this 'righteous plunder', okay?"
"That's nonsense! Don't disturb my brother's rest. He still has to go to the store tonight."
"oh."
Song Nian was going out to buy dinner, and Jin Jiaan, who had a very low presence, had disappeared, leaving only Song Shuyang and Shen Xi in the living room.
Being alone, Song Shuyang felt uncomfortable and fiddled with his phone for a long time without paying any attention to Chen Xi.
It was Chen Xi who took the initiative. She sat closer, nuzzled his shoulder, and asked him, "Are you a reconstituted family?"
This was the first time in Song Shuyang's life that he was so close to a girl. A blush crept up his ears. He moved his buttocks and sat a little further away. "No, Uncle Jin and Jin Zhou are tenants of our house."
"I see, I saw that you two had such a good relationship, I thought you were a family."
"We're almost a family, after all. Jin Zhou and I grew up together, and my mom loves him more than her own son. Wow..."
Song Shuyang shuddered and felt a softer hand covering the back of his hand.
He was so nervous that he broke out in cold sweat and his hair stood on end, but he forced himself not to push her away.
He thought it was because he had never had contact with girls before, and that he would be fine after a few more interactions.
Chen Xi lowered her voice and asked, "You must be very sad to have your mother's love taken away by someone else, Yangyang."
The reason why Song Shuyang accepted Chen Xi among all the suitors was because he felt that she was gentle and understanding. During his teenage years, he lived under the tyranny of the bitch Jin Zhou, and a little bit of gentleness was enough to make him fall.
His Adam's apple moved, and he felt that as a man he should do something.
Shen Xi has come over.
The two people's breathing was getting closer and closer, almost entangled.
"Ahem." A light cough interrupted them.
Song Shuyang looked back and instantly became furious.
Jin Zhou stood on the steps and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you."
"Aren't you sleeping, you bastard?"
"I'm thirsty and I can't even drink a sip of water from your house?"
"No!" Song Shuyang jumped behind the sofa and pushed him upstairs, "Get out of here now! Don't come down even if you're dying of thirst."
After sending Jin Zhou away and returning to the sofa, Song Shuyang had no mood to do anything else.
Chen Xi smiled understandingly, "It's okay, there are still plenty of opportunities."
