Chapter 17 Bullying him is so fun
Yu You, who was pushed away, looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
Then the anger flared up.
Jiang Xunzhou disliked him and couldn't accept kissing him, so he just left?
Are you kidding me? It was Jiang Xunzhou who suggested pretending to be lovers!
Yu You was so angry that his head was buzzing and a faint red appeared at the corners of his eyes.
He was taking his job seriously and upholding his professional ethics. Could Jiang Xunzhou, as the financial sponsor, just do as he pleased?!
Not long after, footsteps came closer and Jiang Xunzhou reappeared in sight.
It seemed as if he had washed his face with cold water. A few strands of wet hair hung down in front of his forehead, making him look a little disheveled compared to his relaxed appearance in the morning.
Jiang Xunzhou absentmindedly stepped into the restaurant and saw the young man, who looked like he was about to cry. He paused, a look of astonishment on his face: "You..."
Yu You's eyes were red as he looked at Jiang Xunzhou, his voice trembling. "Boss Jiang signed the contract with me because of the scandal. If Boss Jiang dislikes me so much and can't accept it, it's only a matter of time before the fake relationship is exposed. It's better to cut the losses and find someone else to work with."
Jiang Xunzhou took two quick steps, his tone slightly hurried and a bit flustered: "I don't dislike you, nor do I find it unacceptable. I didn't leave on purpose just now. I just wasn't prepared."
When he calmed down in the bathroom, he felt that it was not entirely his fault.
Early in the morning, Yu You sat on him and acted coquettishly in a soft voice without any restraint. Who could resist this?
Now those thoughts are like bubbles, crackling and disappearing.
Jiang Xunzhou walked over quickly, grabbed Yu You's wrist, pulled him into his arms, and coaxed him gently: "It was my fault just now. I was too nervous and not prepared, so my attitude was not good."
Yu You looked up, not quite believing it: "You really don't dislike me?"
"Really not."
Jiang Xunzhou's warm fingertips brushed the moisture at the corners of Yu You's eyes, and his tone was a little helpless: "I have no plans to change people. Yesterday, when I was outside, I pretended to be careless and let the media take a picture of my background on my phone."
Yu You was confused: "What background?"
Jiang Xunzhou took out his cell phone and showed it to him.
The lock screen background is a photo of Yu You and a milk tea cup. The boy is looking at the camera with sparkling eyes, so cute that it makes people's hearts melt.
"I just arranged the media hype, how could I possibly want to replace him?" Jiang Xunzhou sighed, "Do you believe it now?"
Yu You raised the corner of his lips and nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
The proud look is like a smug kitten, full of arrogance.
Jiang Xunzhou smiled slightly and pinched Yu You's face.
I couldn't help feeling a little sad.
If I'm so sad after rejecting this time, then when the contract ends...
After they packed up and went out, Jiang Xunzhou received a message from Jiang Zuwen when he got in the car.
Before I left yesterday, I told you to remind the little star to put herself in her place. Did you remember?
Jiang Xunzhou got a headache when he saw the news: [I shouldn't have listened to your crooked ideas. Do you know how much effort I put into coaxing her this morning?]
Jiang Zuwen: [? ]
Jiang Zuwen: [No, you're about to take him back to meet your parents. Aren't you worried that the little star will get too immersed in the role and can't get out? If you don't make it clear in advance, what are you trying to do to comfort him?]
Jiang Xunzhou perfunctorily replied: [I have my own plans.]
Yu You is young and thin-skinned. He will cry if he is ignored. He is very delicate. It is not appropriate to talk about this now. We need to take it slowly.
Jiang Zuwen had no idea of the situation.
Jiang Xunzhou solemnly instructed: [Don't worry about it anymore. I know my limits.]
Jiang Zuwen: [???]
Jiang Xunzhou put away his phone and looked to the side. Yu You was also chatting with someone while holding his phone.
Yu You was staring intently at the screen of his mobile phone and didn't notice that Jiang Xunzhou glanced at him several times.
Jiang Xunzhou coughed lightly.
Yu You finally heard him this time. He put down his phone, opened the car's small refrigerator, and happily handed him a bottle of Perrier. He asked caringly, "Honey, is your throat uncomfortable? Do you want some water?"
"Thank you." Jiang Xunzhou took it and asked casually, "Are you talking to Agent Shi about work?"
Yu You said obediently: "No, I was chatting with Sister Ming Yan. I didn't go to the set today, and she told me gossip."
Jiang Xunzhou asked: "Are you close to her?"
Yu You nodded: "Sister Mingyan and I have the least experience on the set, so we have more in common."
Probably because of his public relationship with Jiang Xunzhou, Jiang Mingyan considered Yu You one of her own and often came to play with him.
Yu You smiled again and said, "Besides, Sister Mingyan is very funny when she talks."
He took the initiative to hand over his phone to Jiang Xunzhou.
Jiang Mingyan: [Little Fish Baby, you didn't come to the set today and missed a big scene!]
Jiang Mingyan: [The lighting guy and the stagehand got into a heated argument over something. I heard they've had a conflict before. I think the lighting guy had his girlfriend stolen by the stagehand.]
Jiang Mingyan: [This time, they're settling old scores all at once. The two of them are like lit firecrackers, fighting fiercely. They can't even be pulled apart. They end up breaking the props on the set, and the prop crew is so angry that they rush in to join the fight. On set, they put their shoes on first, then their socks. It's a complete mess, hahahahaha]
Yu You: [Sister Mingyan, are you okay?]
The latest piece of news popped up right under Jiang Xunzhou's nose.
Jiang Mingyan: [It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, little fish, I can hide very quickly [blow kiss]]
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his eyes and stared at the flying kiss emoticon for two seconds, nodded lightly, and calmly took out his mobile phone to send a message to Jiang Mingyan.
Jiang Xunzhou: [Either call me Xiaoyu or sister-in-law, don't call me baby Xiaoyu.]
Jiang Xunzhou: [If you send him any more of those random emojis, I'll tell your parents about you chasing the second male lead.]
Jiang Mingyan: [???]
After Jiang Xunzhou finished teaching the other person a lesson, he looked to the side and called out, "Little Fish Baby."
Yu You subconsciously raised his head: "Hmm?"
Jiang Xunzhou extended his hand: "Let's practice holding hands for a while."
Yu You said "oh" and put his hand on it without thinking much.
The boy's fingers were as white as jade, his nails were trimmed neatly and smooth, with a light powder on them. They looked a whole size smaller in Jiang Xunzhou's hands.
Jiang Xunzhou closed his fingers and easily wrapped Yu You's hand in his palm.
The force was very tight, and the broad palm gave an irresistible sense of control, while an unfamiliar heat was transmitted and flowed into the fingertips.
Yu You felt a little uncomfortable. To divert his attention, he turned his head and spoke to Jiang Xunzhou: "Is it very far?"
Jiang Xunzhou was in a good mood, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said, "Not far, about twenty minutes."
The vehicle took the circular route into the suburbs and arrived at the Jiang family's residence.
It is a vast manor with a carved iron gate that opens automatically. Facing you is a Baroque-style shower fountain. The little angel sculpture in the middle sparkles in the golden sunlight. Behind it is a blue and white castle, which is as dreamy as a scene from a fairy tale.
The vehicle stopped, the driver got out and opened the back door.
The people inside also knew that they had arrived. Su Qiuling couldn't wait any longer and hurried out.
Jiang Xunzhou got out of the car first, called out "Mom," and then asked, "How are you recovering?"
"I'm fine. Your dad protected me during the car accident, so I only suffered minor injuries. I'm already healed. Your dad felt dizzy after reading some documents, so he went back to rest."
Su Qiuling had a delicate face and dressed like a noblewoman, looking like she was in her early forties. She glanced behind Jiang Xunzhou and asked impatiently, "Where's Xiaoyu?"
Yu Youhou stepped out of the car. The boy's figure was as straight as a green bamboo, with a thin waist and long legs. When he stood there, he had a clean temperament and was very likable.
He said obediently: "Hello, Auntie, sorry to bother you."
"Don't disturb, don't disturb."
Su Qiuling smiled broadly, her tone delighted: "I was afraid that Xun Zhou would die alone, but I never thought that I would actually be able to wait for the day when he would bring people back."
"Let's go inside and talk."
Jiang Xunzhou naturally held Yu You's hand.
The silver iris chains on their wrists intertwined, and the broken diamonds gently flashed with dazzling light.
Su Qiuling naturally didn't miss this detail and joked with a smile: "They're even wearing couple bracelets. Don't you only like watches and not these?"
Jiang Xunzhou said in a doting tone, "I can't help it, he likes it."
Yu You was very cooperative, his eyes curved and he smiled shyly and timidly.
The interior of the castle is decorated in typical European style, which is luxurious and grand, exuding a magnificent atmosphere.
As they walked in, Jiang Xunzhou asked, "Is my brother coming back today?"
"Your brother won't reply because he's too busy with work."
Su Qiuling was a little worried when she mentioned it: "Now your brother is the only one holding the Jianghe headquarters. The two uncles are always looking for his faults. Your father is still not well, so he can't go back to help..."
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes darkened, but his expression remained calm as he spoke in a gentle, soothing voice, "Dad has worked so hard for so many years. Take this annual leave and have a good rest. It's also a good opportunity to spend some time with you."
Su Qiuling responded and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Your dad and I brought back several sets of tableware from abroad. You and Xiaoyu can pick out the ones you like."
She asked the maid to bring over gift boxes of tableware, which almost filled the coffee table in the living room.
It is a tableware made of pure shells, shining with colorful light and with unique shape.
Yu You saw the fish-shaped spoon and plate at a glance, and his heart moved. He hooked Jiang Xunzhou's palm with his fingers.
Jiang Xunzhou understood: "Let's go with the fish-shaped ones. Thanks, Mom."
Su Qiuling smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone send you a car later. There are also some supplements, black truffle sauce and pistachio sauce, you can take them all back."
A gentle voice came from the second floor: "Xun Zhou."
Yu You looked up and saw a tall man standing behind the retro carved railings on the second floor. He was about forty or fifty years old and was wearing casual home clothes. His facial features seemed to be carved out of the same template as Jiang Xunzhou. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes showed traces of wind and frost, but his temperament was as warm as the spring breeze in March.
Jiang Xunzhou stood up and called out "Dad", and Yu You quickly stood up and awkwardly followed suit, calling out "Uncle".
Jiang Junran nodded and said, "Xunzhou, come to the study."
Jiang Xunzhou subconsciously glanced at Yu You and hesitated for a moment.
Su Qiuling teased beside him, "Why, are you worried about leaving Xiaoyu with me?"
Yu You took the initiative and said, "Husband, you go ahead. I'll stay here and chat with my aunt."
Jiang Xunzhou nodded and went upstairs.
He looked back several times and saw Su Qiuling pulling Yu You to sit on the sofa and talking affectionately. Since they were far away, he didn't know what they were talking about. He could only see that Yu You was a little at a loss, and his ears were red.
Jiang Xunzhou collected his thoughts, entered the study, and closed the door. "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Junran sat behind the desk, put on his glasses, nodded and said, "Sit down and tell me what happened between you and Yu You."
"What could be going on?"
Jiang Xunzhou smiled, walked over a few steps, pulled a stool and sat down, his tone relaxed: "Haven't you and my mom been urging me to have a relationship? I really brought someone back this time, are you not satisfied?"
"You didn't talk about love earlier or later, but right after your mom and I got in the car accident, you announced that you had a boyfriend and even claimed you'd been dating for a few months. Do you think I would believe you?"
Jiang Junran's tone was flat, and his eyes looking at Jiang Xunzhou were as sharp as a knife: "Your mother and I want you to fall in love. We hope that someone can accompany you. Gender and family background are not important. What matters is that you really like it, not that you tie the relationship to profit."
Jiang Xunzhou asked back: "How do you know that I don't really like you?"
Jiang Junran was stunned.
"He's young and likes to act like a spoiled brat. He's used to being spoiled, so he can't stand harsh words. He wants to lose his temper but doesn't dare, so he just holds it back. His angry expression is particularly vivid."
Jiang Xunzhou's lips curled up slightly. "I'm often bullied and I don't understand why. I'm silly and a little stupid, but stupid in a way that's... very cute."
He originally just wanted to say a few words, "I think Yu You is a great person," but when the words reached his lips, a soft smile spread across his eyes, and unknowingly, he changed into something else.
"Sometimes I wonder where he suddenly appeared from. We are in the same company, so why didn't I see him earlier?"
Jiang Junran on the opposite side raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Yu is so much younger than you, why are you still bullying him?"
"I know I shouldn't do this, maybe because..."
Jiang Xunzhou thought for two seconds, and a wonderful feeling spread in his heart. He slowly laughed: "He is so funny to tease."
