Chapter 22: Absurdity did not refuse, that is necessary
Yu You was tired of crying and curled up on the bed in the master bedroom. Her thick long eyelashes were wet and drooped down tiredly, casting a faint shadow. Her flushed face was covered with messy tear marks.
There was still a faint scent of vetiver in the master bedroom, and Jiang Xunzhou's assurance that he would get the perfume soon was enough to appease people.
Jiang Xunzhou wiped his face with a hot towel, then went back to the bathroom to take a shower, washing off the citron amber scent on his body.
When I came out, the bottle of vetiver perfume finally arrived.
Jiang Xunzhou's hair was dripping with water, and he didn't have time to wipe it dry. He hurriedly opened the door in his black bathrobe, took the familiar perfume bottle, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.
She also asked Assistant Wan to give a four-digit red envelope to each person who was traveling back and forth tonight, and then she returned to the room with the perfume.
There was only one bedside lamp on in the master bedroom. The pale white light fell on Yu You's beautiful profile like a thin veil, adding a soft and quiet color.
Jiang Xunzhou sprayed some perfume on his wrist and held it next to Yu You's face.
The young man who was sleeping with his eyes closed had his eyelashes trembling. He raised his chin, mumbled vaguely, and gently pressed his hot cheek against Jiang Xunzhou's wrist.
As if he had finally recognized the right smell, the boy's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he rubbed Jiang Xunzhou's wrist with his soft cheek, revealing dependence.
"Are you satisfied?" Jiang Xunzhou asked in a low voice.
Yu You never woke up from beginning to end, and his breathing was long and steady.
As soon as Jiang Xunzhou moved his hand away, an uneasy whimper escaped from Yu You's throat, his black eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked like he was about to wake up. Frightened, he quickly handed his wrist back, and the boy calmed down again.
He was angry and wanted to laugh, and shouted: "...Little Ancestor."
Jiang Xunzhou was too lazy to bother, so he went straight to the bed and held him in his arms. He touched Yu You's forehead with the back of his hand and felt that his body temperature seemed to have dropped a little. He felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the fever-reducing medicine worked.
Jiang Xunzhou's biological clock is always punctual. He wakes up at the same time as the alarm. After turning off the alarm on his mobile phone, the first thing he does is to touch the forehead of the person in his arms with his palm.
The boy didn't seem to be awake at all, and was sleeping soundly with warm cheeks. After Jiang Xunzhou confirmed that it was normal body temperature, he couldn't help but pinch his face again.
Jiang Xunzhou let go of the person, got up from the bed, changed into formal clothes, changed his watch, and habitually put on the iris bracelet. He went downstairs and told Aunt Liu not to wake Yu You, and then went out alone.
When getting in the car, Assistant Wan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still puzzled: "Isn't Mr. Yu going to the company today?"
Jiang Xunzhou said, "He had a low-grade fever yesterday and is staying home to rest today."
Assistant Wan casually said, "I remember Mr. Yu also had a fever and fainted on the set two months ago."
Jiang Xunzhou frowned slightly, but before he could think deeply, a new message popped up on his phone, interrupting his thoughts.
It was the foreign partner he asked to buy perfume.
[Mr. Jiang, the perfume you requested has been discontinued. I bought the last two bottles for you in another city.]
Discontinued? Last two bottles?
Jiang Xunzhou pinched the bridge of his nose and started to have a headache again.
At the rate this little ancestor is squandering, it won't be long before the two bottles are used up. What should he do next time he makes trouble?
Jiang Xunzhou specifically sent a message to ask why that brand had stopped production. The other party explained that the sales of local niche brands were not high, and due to poor management, the company went bankrupt last month.
[The two bottles of perfume have been sent back to me through someone else. They should arrive in about three or four days.]
Jiang Xunzhou thanked him, sighed, and called Su Qiuling.
Su Qiuling received a call from Jiang Xunzhou last night and again in the morning, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Neither of the two sons is the type to cling to family. They have their own careers and don’t contact their family unless necessary. It is very rare for them to talk to their family for two consecutive days like this.
Su Qiuling answered the call and asked gently, "Xunzhou, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xunzhou coughed, feeling a little embarrassed, and said directly: "Mom, can you help me acquire a perfume brand?"
Su Qiuling was stunned for a moment, remembering what happened last night, and asked tentatively, "Which brand? The bottle of vetiver perfume you wanted to take back last night?"
"Um."
Jiang Xunzhou's tone was filled with helplessness: "Little Fish Baby only likes this one. He gets angry with me when I change to another brand of perfume."
Su Qiuling was surprised: "Xiaoyu seems to have such a good temper, how could she be angry with you?"
"Really, I had no other choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so anxious to get the perfume back from you last night. Unexpectedly, my friend told me that the perfume brand had gone bankrupt locally and was going through the liquidation process."
Jiang Xunzhou said humbly, "Mom, I know nothing about perfume R&D and quality control, so I have no choice but to trouble you with the acquisition."
Su Qiuling smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a small matter."
"Thank you, Mom."
After Jiang Xunzhou finished solving the problem, he felt a little relieved and went to the company to handle his work.
After being busy all morning, Yu You didn't send him any messages, and even when he called, no one answered.
When asked, Aunt Liu said that she didn't see anyone when she left, and she cooked pumpkin millet porridge and left it warm in the kitchen.
Jiang Xunzhou was worried, so he went back at noon.
The villa was quiet. The blueberry cheese sandwich on the dining table was covered with plastic wrap and showed no signs of having been touched.
Jiang Xunzhou frowned, went upstairs and entered his room.
The curtains in the master bedroom were still closed, the light was dim, and the air was filled with the ambiguous and entangled scent of vetiver and iris, so rich that it seemed tangible.
The lights snapped on, illuminating the scene in the room.
Jiang Xunzhou's pupils suddenly shrank.
A pile of clothes was scattered on the large bed, wrinkled like a small mountain.
The boy was huddled in this pile of clothes, with his arms and legs spread out, looking extremely pitiful.
He was holding a large suit jacket tightly in his arms, his cheeks were flushed, his legs were slightly bent and closed, he was rubbing them restlessly, and an unbearable whimper was coming from the tip of his nose.
Jiang Xunzhou walked over quickly and pulled the man into his arms. As soon as the back of his hand touched Yu You's forehead, he felt the unusually high temperature and asked worriedly, "Why is it burning again? And you piled so many clothes on the bed. Did you take your medicine this morning?"
He was worried that Yu You would have a recurring fever, so he left antipyretics and a cup of water on the bedside.
Yu You slowly opened her misty eyes, her blurry gaze fixed on Jiang Xunzhou's face, and two soft and hoarse words came out of her lips: "...Husband?"
Jiang Xunzhou picked up Yu You's mobile phone beside the bed and found that it had been automatically turned off because it ran out of battery.
No wonder I didn’t reply to his message. I don’t know how long I stayed in the room with a fever.
Maybe she was confused by the fever and felt cold instead, so she took so many clothes and piled them on the bed.
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes flashed with self-blame, and he lowered his voice to comfort her, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? If the medicine doesn't help, you should call your family doctor to come and take a look."
He took out his cell phone and wanted to notify the family doctor to come over, but the boy in his arms suddenly struggled to sit up and reached out to grab it.
Jiang Xunzhou was caught off guard, his wrist shook, and the phone, which had not yet been dialed, fell to the soft carpet with a clang.
Yu You hurriedly said: "No need to find a doctor, I've taken medicine, I'm fine."
"But your fever hasn't subsided yet." Jiang Xunzhou comforted him, "Let's get a doctor to take a look."
"But the doctor can't heal it." Yu You's fingers tugged at Jiang Xunzhou's collar, panting softly, "Why don't you give me a temporary mark, then I won't feel so uncomfortable..."
Another temporary mark.
Jiang Xunzhou was speechless.
Yu You pulled Jiang Xunzhou's hand and pressed it against his neck, pleading with a tearful tone, "Right here, take a bite."
Jiang Xunzhou's fingers were guided to press on the boy's neck, and the snow-white and soft skin was abnormally hot.
The small area that is pressed is extremely beautiful pink, like ripe summer berries on the branches, exuding a rich and sweet fragrance.
When the rough fingertips brushed against it, the thin piece of skin trembled slightly, as sensitive as a newborn flower bud.
He only used a little force to rub it, and the boy in his arms grabbed his clothes, his thin shoulders shaking badly.
The scent of irises in the air grew sweeter and heavier, its alluring scent making one dizzy.
Jiang Xunzhou felt as if his body temperature was also rising, his mouth was dry, and he felt a little dizzy. He finally managed to maintain his last bit of rationality and said in a hoarse voice: "Baby, you are sick. My bite will not help. You need to call a doctor."
Yu You was so angry that he sat up, his eyes red, and bit Jiang Xunzhou's neck angrily.
He bit so hard that it left a circle of deep red teeth marks, causing Jiang Xunzhou to hiss softly in pain.
"I don't want a doctor! Are you going to give me a mark or not?" Yu You pouted and complained aggrievedly, "If you can't do it, I'll find someone else!"
Who can't?
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes turned dangerous in an instant, and he put his arm around Yu You's waist and asked, "Who else do you want to find?"
"Anyone is fine, but you are not."
Yu You pushed him hard, tears glistening on her long eyelashes. "You're not good at all. You didn't even give me a temporary mark. I'm going to find another Alpha with the scent of vetiver..."
Jiang Xunzhou didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but he was so angry that he laughed, and his temples were throbbing.
Just because he refused to give that broken temporary mark, he was going to throw himself into someone else's arms?
Would others be like him, coaxing and giving in, giving everything to others, and even be willing to lower their dignity and ask their family members for help to buy a bottle of perfume?
Jiang Xunzhou was so angry that his teeth were itching. He slapped the person in his arms on the butt, then pushed the boy under his messy clothes and bit him.
Yu You sunk face up into the layers of soft fabric, feeling dizzy, and his white, jade-like neck was bitten hard.
Sharp pain pierced the skin.
Yu You's mind went blank for a moment, and white lights seemed to flash before his eyes one after another. Slender fingers clenched the clothes on Jiang Xunzhou's back, pulling out wrinkles.
The young man's pretty face was flushed with a bright red glow, and a soft gasp escaped from his lips.
Jiang Xunzhou raised his head and saw this scene, and it seemed as if a nerve in his brain suddenly broke.
Why is it so... seductive?
Yu You closed his eyes for a long while, feeling that the heat had finally subsided a little due to the soothing effect of the temporary mark. He opened his eyes gratefully and looked at Jiang Xunzhou: "Thank you...husband."
With moist eyes, she pleaded in a low voice, "If you are free recently, can you stay with me for a few days?"
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his eyes and stared at him: "What do you mean by accompanying you for a few days?"
Yu You pursed his lips, his eyes flickering, and he spoke with some difficulty: "That's the condition I proposed when I signed the contract with you."
Jiang Xunzhou's Adam's apple rolled slowly, and his eyes were filled with an aggressive darkness.
He thought that Yu You had not mentioned it and had given up the idea long ago.
It turned out that she was waiting for him here.
"Can."
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes seemed to be burning with a fiery flame, and his voice was hoarse: "Since I have agreed to the terms of the contract, I will not regret it."
The two of them were pressed tightly together, and Yu You suddenly felt something strange. He looked up in surprise and quickly added, "Wait a minute, I'm not talking about today—"
With the temporary mark, he could still endure these two days...
But Jiang Xunzhou grabbed his chin and kissed him forcefully without saying anything.
The intruding hot tip of the tongue blocked all unspoken words, entangled with the wet and soft tongue, licking and swallowing, with an irresistible force, stirring up a sticky sound of water.
The desire that had just subsided was easily ignited again, and the blood became restless again, boiling like magma.
Yu You was so excited by the kiss that his breathing became rapid. He subconsciously stretched out his arms, wrapped them around Jiang Xunzhou's broad shoulders like vines, and took the initiative to respond.
The light from the top of the room was as bright as day, shining directly into the boy's eyes, stimulating a few broken tears.
Jiang Xunzhou noticed it, reached out and pressed the lamp holder beside the bed, turning on only a night light.
The overhead lights were turned off, and the heavy curtains blocked out the outside sunlight. The view in the master bedroom was dim, with only this small patch of dim light illuminating each other's figures.
The wet, sticky sound of water carried a hint of ferocity. Jiang Xunzhou's eyes were filled with lust. He pinched his jaw and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "If I don't agree, are you going to look for someone else?"
Yu You's breathing was a little disordered. He vaguely sensed his anger and instinctively gave him a kiss ingratiatingly: "No, only you, only you can..."
Jiang Xunzhou's thin lips curled up slightly, and he finally relaxed his brows and whispered, "Call me husband."
Yu You was obedient, his eyes flashing with attachment: "Husband."
The forgotten cell phone fell to the carpet and rang several times.
The screen lit up and then went dark, dark and then lit up again, and finally it was picked up by my sweaty hands and connected once.
After the short call ended, the assistant in the office looked at Assistant Wan blankly, "Assistant Wan, President Jiang said he'd let the Vice President go to tonight's dinner in his place. He also said he'd postponed all his plans for the past two days. If there's nothing important at work, don't call him."
"Yeah?"
Assistant Wan pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses and nodded calmly, "Mr. Yu must be ill, so Mr. Jiang is staying at home for two days. It's not a big deal."
Assistant Wan is the head of the assistant department and the backbone of the entire team. What he says is golden advice and no one questions it.
The assistant nodded in admiration: "Yeah!"
Then he was slapped in the face. Jiang Xunzhou disappeared on the first day, then the second day, and the third day...
Assistant Wan looked at the work documents piled on his desk with a numb expression, as if time was repeating itself.
no.
Come again?
Su Qiuling's gang also called in surprise: "What has Xunzhou been busy with recently? Why can't I get through on the phone? Tell him that the perfume brand he wants is already in the acquisition process."
Assistant Wan said timidly, "Okay, I'll definitely pass it on for you. Mr. Jiang... can usually be contacted in the early morning hours."
Su Qiuling's tone was shocked: "Ah?"
One o'clock in the morning.
The curtains in the bedroom had not been opened for three whole days, and the air was filled with a decadent and indulgent atmosphere.
The boy was sleeping with his eyes closed. His exposed snow-white shoulders were covered with peach-petal-like kiss marks. His cheeks were a healthy red and his sleeping face was well-behaved and peaceful.
Jiang Xunzhou rubbed his eyebrows, got out of bed, and walked towards the study.
The black silk nightgown was tied loosely, and there were light red scratches scattered on the sides of the neck and chest, which was enough to show the chaos of the past few days.
Jiang Xunzhou had no choice but to handle work in the early morning.
Yu You was so persistent that he would only fall asleep when it was almost dawn. Only then could he barely get away and go to the study to handle some work online on the computer.
Jiang Xunzhou sat behind the desk, turned on the computer, briefly browsed some reports, and dealt with the corresponding matters before returning to the bedroom.
As soon as she returned to the bed, Yu You rolled into his arms spontaneously, raised her face in a daze, and asked, "Hubby, where have you been?"
Jiang Xunzhou reached out and hugged him, whispering, "I went to the study to take care of some work."
He pinched Yu You's cheek again and sighed, "There's a new project going online tomorrow, I have to go back and keep an eye on it. I can't make trouble like this anymore."
These three days of indulgence have been enough to cause trouble.
It's time to stop here.
Jiang Xunzhou thought coldly and ruthlessly.
Yu You asked blankly: "Husband, don't you want me anymore?"
Tears quickly welled up in his eyes, his nose turned red, and he sobbed breathlessly: "I, I'm very good, please don't leave, okay? I don't want you to leave, I don't want to be alone..."
The boy burst into tears and bit his lips. He looked so pitiful and aggrieved, full of helplessness of being abandoned.
"Why are you crying again?"
Jiang Xunzhou was so moved by his crying that he was completely at his wit's end. He quickly tried to coax her, "I didn't say I didn't want you. I just need to take two hours to go to the study to take care of some work."
Yu You's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, tears welling up in her eyes. Her fingers tugged at the corner of his clothes, as if she was afraid he'd run away. She nervously reassured him, "Just two hours? You'll still stay with me, right?"
"right."
Jiang Xunzhou sighed softly, touched Yu You's head, and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay with you."
Yu You finally laughed, tugging at the corner of Jiang Xunzhou's clothes with her fingers and shaking them gently, begging in a low voice: "Husband, can you please not take that out before you go to the study to work tomorrow?"
Jiang Xunzhou was startled: "That?"
Yu You was a little anxious, not understanding why his Alpha partner was so stupid, so he had to explain more clearly: "That's it, leaving it in can increase the chance of pregnancy, the longer the better..."
But Jiang Xunzhou always carried him to the bathroom before going to bed and cleaned it thoroughly, leaving no trace.
Jiang Xunzhou's Adam's apple rolled, his ears felt hot, and he whispered, "Little Fish, we are all men. Even if we stay in there... there will be no such thing."
"Of course! How could it not be possible?"
Yu You interrupted hastily, pulling Jiang Xunzhou's hand and pressing it against her belly: "Or does your husband not want to have a baby with me?"
Jiang Xunzhou laughed dumbly, but actually continued, "Even if it's possible, it's not now. Our Xiaoyu is still a baby. Let's wait until you grow up a little. Now, you are enough for me."
Yu You was stunned for two seconds, then her eyes curved and she leaned into Jiang Xunzhou's arms, asking for a kiss coquettishly: "Husband, kiss me."
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his head and kissed the corner of Yu You's lips.
The force was very light, like a feather passing by.
Jiang Xunzhou coaxed softly: "Go to sleep, dear baby."
Yu You closed his eyes and rested his cheek against his chest in peace.
When he was a student, Jiang Xunzhou had heard classmates gossiping about young couples in love who had reunited after a long separation and would stay in a hotel for several days without leaving the house.
When I first heard about it, I scoffed at it, thinking how could there be such a clingy couple. I even thought the man was exaggerating, and was making the time as long as possible in order to implicitly show how good he was in that aspect.
Until Yu You pestered him for a whole week.
The entire villa is undisturbed by outsiders, only takeaway boxes are delivered to the door, providing light meals.
There were traces of the two people's love everywhere, especially in the study. Sometimes Jiang Xunzhou had to go there to handle some work, and Yu You sat in his arms and couldn't leave him.
Even when eating, they had to sit together. Jiang Xunzhou fed him personally and coaxed him to drink some porridge.
The boundaries of time seemed to become blurred, and it was impossible to tell how many days had passed. It was like an endless peach-pink beautiful dream.
Sometimes when Jiang Xunzhou was still asleep, Yu You would snuggle into his arms, look up at him for a kiss, and start a new day.
Jiang Xunzhou had to satisfy Yu You and handle his work in the gaps in time, and he became dazed.
Do those young couples also do such high-intensity exercise in the hotel?
Even for someone who has a regular fitness routine, he still found it a bit difficult to cope with.
I never expected everyone to be so good at this... Is it innate talent or hard work?
The delay was too long, and some activities that had to be attended were postponed to the point where they could no longer be postponed. Assistant Wan had no choice but to ask Jiang Xunzhou's brother Jiang Qingyan for help.
Jiang Qingyan fell silent when he learned that Jiang Xunzhou had not shown up for a whole week, but he agreed to help attend the event.
After the event ended and I stepped down from the stage, I received a call from Jiang Xunzhou.
The voice on the other end was hoarse and tired: "Brother, did you go to the project launch ceremony for me?"
Jiang Qingyan hummed calmly: "It's over."
Jiang Xunzhou sighed: "Okay, thank you."
"No need to thank me. Your assistant sent me the speech. I just came to show up."
Jiang Qingyan's tone suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but say something a bit incredulous: "But a whole week, isn't that a bit ridiculous? When Assistant Wan came to me, I thought he was joking."
Jiang Xunzhou was embarrassed and awkward: "Brother, the situation here is more complicated."
"OK, complicated, understood."
Jiang Qingyan nodded and asked considerately, "So, do you still need those red kangaroo essence capsules I mentioned to you last time?"
There was silence on the other end for a long time, and then the phone was hung up with a click.
Jiang Qingyan understood.
If there is no rejection, then it is needed.
