Chapter 6: His Family

The place for dinner was decided to be a restaurant near the school. Compared with the cheap and affordable restaurants in the campus circle, this is a more formal and high-end restaurant.

The three roommates finished class first, but did not go there early and waited on the road.

Catching a glimpse of Yin Jiu from a distance, the third brother nudged the second brother with his elbow and said, "Am I seeing things? Who is the fourth brother holding hands with?"

"Fuck, the fourth brother is getting married?" The second brother was also a little shocked. He took off his glasses and wiped them. After putting them back on, he was sure that he was not seeing things. He guessed, "So this is not a casual dinner, but a dinner for getting married?"

The third brother said uncertainly: "No way, it looks like a man."

They made wild guesses for a long time, but when the person really came up to them, they didn't show any abnormality.

The third brother rushed to pass the ladder first: "Fourth brother, would you like to introduce me?"

Yin Jiuxian said to Ning Changyue: "These three are my roommates, Liu Qi, Zhang Wenyi, and Hou Qing."

The three of them smiled at each other in a friendly manner, and the third oldest, Hou Qing, even waved and said “Hi”.

It was Ning Changyue's turn to introduce her. Yin Jiu paused, then smiled and handed over the decision: "Ning Changyue, introduce yourself to them."

Ning Changyue glanced at him and didn't really want to say anything, but she still said obediently: "Hello, I am Yin Jiu's family member."

It's not that he didn't expect this possibility, but Yin Jiu still unconsciously straightened his lips and restrained his smile. The feeling that something was wrong came up again.

The third brother, Hou Qing, was relieved. Seeing that he was not very old, he guessed, "You are our fourth brother's younger brother, right?"

When people refer to family members, they are usually referring to family members. If it is a lover, then the beginning should be, I am his lover, his boyfriend, his partner. It is rare to use such a vague term as family members.

But even thinking this way, the third brother was still a little uncertain.

Until Ning Changyue nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, I am Yin Jiu's younger brother."

"Hello, brother!" The three of them greeted him again.

Yin Jiu let go of Ning Changyue's hand and said, "Okay, let's go first."

"Let's go and have dinner." The third brother hooked his arm around the second brother's shoulder and led the way forward.

The eldest brother was walking and talking side by side with Yin Jiu.

Ning Changyue followed Yin Jiu. He looked at his empty palm and felt a little strange about the empty feeling. He took a few steps and lightly touched the back of Yin Jiu's hand with the back of his hand.

But no one came to hold him.

Gradually, his pace slowed down.

Yin Jiu stopped and turned around to ask, "What's wrong? Why are you walking so slowly?"

Ning Changyue lowered his head, said nothing, and did not step forward.

With a sigh in his heart, Yin Jiu turned around, walked to his side, put his arm around his wrist, and pulled him forward.

In front, the boss looked at them with a smile.

When he got closer, the eldest brother said in a tone of seeing through everything: "My younger brother is young, as his elder brother, you need to be patient and bear with him."

Yin Jiu had never expected to be lectured by him, so he smiled and said, "I'll tolerate it."

The boss raised his eyebrows and glared at him. Yin Jiu admitted helplessly: "I was only angry for three seconds. Really, why didn't I know you were such a gossipy person before."

I didn't lie. I let go because I saw that Ning Changyue was cautious. Although he has never avoided showing intimacy in front of others, it's hard to say. Maybe he can't say it because of his age, or maybe he still has some concerns. Everything is possible.

But no matter what the reason was, Yin Jiugang was a little unhappy, but it was not to the extent of being angry with him.

What's more, Yin Jiu noticed his little actions afterwards, he just wanted to tease him to see what he would do next.

The two of them were like dumbfounded people. Ning Changyue, the person involved, didn't understand what they said, but he didn't care.

He liked being held by Yin Jiu, and that was the only thing he cared about.

…

The restaurant we booked specializes in seafood, all of which are fresh aquatic products. The dishes were not served that quickly, but each person was served a bowl of nourishing and stomach-warming soup first.

As soon as the soup came up, the third brother opened the lid and started drinking. He looked at Yin Jiu, who was boiling the dishes with hot water across from him, and couldn't help but teasing him, "Last time, our dormitory had a social event with the Academy of Fine Arts. If you cared half as much as you do about your brother, you wouldn't be single now."

He was talking about a dormitory dinner after the end of the semester in his sophomore year. Several girls came that day. Yin Jiu didn't know about it beforehand, but he didn't turn around and leave after they showed up. That was not his style.

He just sat there and didn't respond to anyone's question from beginning to end.

The girl wanted him to help wash the dishes, but he just said, "It's quite clean, no need to wash it." And then he really didn't wash it.

He is washing quite diligently now.

Being teased by the third brother, Yin Jiu didn't care. He pushed the scalded bowl and chopsticks back in front of Ning Changyue, put the spoon directly into the soup bowl, and said casually: "This half of my heart will be broken sooner or later, so don't give me any more nonsense. I'm fine now, don't bother."

"Okay, since you don't even like the school belle, I'll just wait and see what kind of beauty you find." The third brother shrugged, waiting for that day to come and take a good look.

The second brother stared at Ning Changyue for several times since he entered the private room. He lowered his head and fiddled with his phone. Finally, he figured it out and stretched out his hand to point at someone, but he felt it was impolite and retracted it. He pointed his fist in the direction of Ning Changyue and suddenly realized, "Why do I always feel that our brother looks familiar? The boy who feeds cats, right? The one who feeds cats in our school every day. Recently, a bunch of seniors on the campus network have been complaining that they don't know what kind of magic potion the cats in the school have been fed. They won't eat anything you feed them. Hey, brother, what did you feed them? Tell me, and I'll give you a suggestion."

Ning Changyue glanced at him with cold eyes and a cold tone: "Cat food."

"Uh..." The second brother choked on his breath, smiled awkwardly and said dryly: "I think it's cat food too."

There was a lull in the conversation, but Yin Jiu had no intention of resolving the situation. He just sat on the sidelines and drank his soup leisurely.

The group drank soup and chatted leisurely while the food they ordered slowly arrived. Yin Jiu peeled shrimps for Ning Changyue while wearing gloves, without letting him get his hands dirty the whole time.

One takes care of her meticulously, the other enjoys it as a matter of course. Yin Jiu's younger brother looks quite cold, but whenever Yin Jiu asks something, he always responds. Even the tone of his voice has changed. Gradually, the second and third brothers also figured out the trick.

But I didn't say anything. When it comes to sexual orientation, no one has the right to control anyone else. It's impossible for him to like me anyway, so why should I worry about it.

The guests enjoyed the meal very much. After the meal, Yin Jiu went back to the dormitory and packed up some frequently used items. He filled a suitcase with clothes and books, and his backpack was also full. It was not empty, but the remaining things were basically some unnecessary things.

Before leaving, he said goodbye to his roommates at the dormitory door, looking very casual.

"Brothers, let's go."

The third brother rolled his eyes and urged him, "Hurry up and leave. After this, don't come back for a nap next time if you have the guts."

Yin Jiu laughed and walked away holding Ning Changyue's hand.
