Chapter 25 Just give me the information
Yu You had a dream.
The "him" in the dream muttered to himself in the mirror with a hint of guilt.
"I'm sorry for wasting the salary and fame you've accumulated from filming for so long."
"But the setup of your Omega Management and Protection Association is so illogical! What era is this? You're still putting children in solitary confinement. There's no professional psychologist to conduct assessments, and you don't regularly invite outstanding industry representatives to give speeches to introduce the children to the vast world outside. This is far worse than the care provided by the government welfare institutions in my world!"
"But that's great. I don't have that weird heat phase, and I'm not affected by pheromones. That's why I was able to bravely help stop an estrus Alpha last time..."
Someone knocked on the bathroom door. "Teacher Yu, it's your turn to go on stage for the interview!"
"He" opened the door, walked out, and followed the staff to the front of the stage.
Amidst the countless flashes of light, a reporter raised his microphone high and asked, "Thanks to your donation and encouragement as an actor, the Omega Management and Protection Agency recently established a psychological counseling department..."
The ringing of the bell suddenly interrupted everything.
Yu You suddenly sat up in shock, sweating all over. Seeing the familiar hotel suite decoration, he was stunned for a few seconds and reached for the ringing phone on the bedside table.
Shi Sanlin's concerned voice came from the other end of the line: "Xiao Yu, are you awake?"
Yu You was still immersed in the dream just now. He groaned slowly and found that his throat was dry and his head was aching like a hangover.
When I looked at the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table, I was startled to see that it was almost noon.
"Good that you're awake." Shi Sanlin said, "Xiao Yu, get up and pack up. We're planning to check out this afternoon."
Yu You had a splitting headache and agreed in a daze. He got out of bed with a dizzy head, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then came out to pack his luggage.
When I was halfway through cleaning up, Shi Sanlin came over.
Yu You went to open the door for him.
Shi Sanlin was carrying a bag of takeout boxes. "Are you hungry, Xiaoyu? I brought you some millet porridge."
"Thank you, Brother Shi."
Yu You realized that he was hungry later and took it. The fluffy and soft hair made the face look particularly cute.
He sat at the table, unpacking the package, and asked Shi Sanlin in confusion, "Brother Shi, how did I get back last night?"
Shi Sanlin explained enthusiastically: "Did you forget? Mr. Jiang brought you back."
Yu You paused: "Boss Jiang?"
His face was blank, his mind was blank, his memory stuck on the scene of Jiang Xunzhou walking towards him at the wrap-up party.
Then what?
Yu You couldn't remember anything. His head felt swollen and his temples were throbbing.
"Yes, President Jiang brought you back and waited for you to drink the hangover medicine before leaving. But it seems he had something urgent to do, so he told me and left overnight."
Shi Sanlin sighed again, "It has to be President Jiang! Originally, the media saw that you and President Jiang hadn't interacted much in the past month and thought you two had broken up. They wanted to film something at the wrap party and make a fuss about your relationship with Director An, hinting at some hidden agenda. But once President Jiang took you away, they didn't dare to say a word. Today's press releases are all good things."
"oh……"
Yu You nodded blankly.
He always felt that something important happened last night, but when he tried hard to recall it, only some fragments flashed by vaguely and he couldn't grasp anything.
After Yu You finished his millet porridge, he packed his luggage and got into the car with Shi Sanlin. Only then did he have the opportunity to send a message to Jiang Xunzhou.
【Husband, did you bring me back yesterday? 】
After a while, Jiang Xunzhou replied: [Have you forgotten what happened last night? ]
Yu You was alert: [What happened last night? ]
Jiang Xunzhou: [What do you think it is?]
Yu You had never been drunk before, but he had heard that some people's true nature would be revealed after they were drunk. Seeing Jiang Xunzhou's attitude was so unclear, he couldn't help but feel even more uneasy.
Did I scold you last night?
Jiang Xunzhou: [Continue to guess.]
Yu You’s eyes went dark.
Did you do anything else besides scolding him?
Yu You: [Honey, I really don’t remember ovo]
Yu You: [Drunk people are irrational. Honey, you will understand me, right? [Praying]]
Yu You: [If I said something weird or did something weird, can you just pretend nothing happened? [Pitiful][Pitiful]]
Jiang Xunzhou: [It’s too late.]
Jiang Xunzhou: [My memory has always been very good. I remember every word clearly.]
It's over.
Yu You closed his eyes in despair.
He had heard from Jiang Mingyan and Jiang Zuwen that Jiang Xunzhou was a vengeful person and he definitely couldn't get through last night.
However, the two of them still have a contractual relationship, so Jiang Xunzhou shouldn't take action against him for the time being... right?
After he returned anxiously, he found that Jiang Xunzhou was not at home and had gone to another city to work.
Aunt Liu welcomed him warmly. Probably because Jiang Xunzhou had specifically mentioned it, she prepared delicious food for him every day.
Yu You rested at home while choosing the next script. After receiving the final payment from the crew, he anonymously donated a large sum of money to the original owner's welfare home.
Jiang Xunzhou came back once during the journey.
Yu You wanted to drink some water in the evening, so when he went downstairs, he saw Jiang Xunzhou leaning on the sofa in the living room and pulling at his tie.
Jiang Xunzhou had a few messy strands of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, and a hint of fatigue was visible between his deep brows. He raised his eyes and saw him, curled his thin lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Baby, come here."
Yu Youle came over excitedly and said earnestly, "Husband, you're back."
Jiang Xunzhou reached out and held his wrist, pulling it gently. Yu You, wearing pajamas, fell on Jiang Xunzhou's legs and smelled the faint scent of red wine on the man.
He subconsciously wanted to stand up, but then came to his senses and put his arms around Jiang Xunzhou's neck, hesitantly asking, "Are you drunk?"
"I drank a little, but not to the point of being drunk."
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his eyes to look at him, not missing Yu You's reaction just now: "Don't you like the taste of alcohol?"
Yu You nodded.
Omegas have always been sensitive to smells, and their sense of smell is even more acute.
"I understand. Next time I come back I'll take a shower first."
Jiang Xunzhou measured Yu You's waist with his palm and said slowly, with a hint of satisfaction: "Yeah, you've gained some weight."
Yu You's cheeks were burning: "Aunt Liu's cooking is delicious."
Then she asked eagerly, "Honey, when will the new vetiver perfume be available?"
Jiang Xunzhou said, "Due to raw material restrictions, the perfume brand's production line can only be located overseas. However, a new batch of perfumes, as well as essential oils and aromatherapy products from the same series, are already going through customs clearance and returning to China."
Yu You's eyes lit up: "That's great."
After all the calculations, his next passionate period would be in the next half month, and he was worried that the vetiver perfume Jiang Xunzhou gave him would run out.
Yu You asked excitedly, "Auntie, now that you've acquired this perfume brand, do you plan to sell it nationwide? So we can buy it anytime, anywhere in the future?"
That way, when he needs it, he can go to the counter and buy ten or eight bottles...
"No."
Jiang Xunzhou looked at him, a dark light flashing in his dark eyes, and a malicious curve appeared at the corner of his lips: "This vetiver-related product is not for sale to the public. In the entire world, only I can use it."
Yu You was stunned: "Huh?"
Jiang Xunzhou reached out and poked Yu You's cheek, his voice filled with casual joy: "You can only find me, understand?"
Because he had been drinking, Yu You could clearly feel the scorching heat coming from Jiang Xunzhou through his clothes, with a sense of aggressive danger. Somehow, he felt a little nervous and uneasy.
He couldn't help but move, not knowing what he was explaining: "You are here, I, I don't want to find anyone else..."
The soft and plump lips opened and closed slightly, revealing a crimson hue that shone with a watery sheen, as beautiful as velvety rose petals.
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes seemed to be dancing with fiery flames. He stared for two seconds, then raised his eyes slightly, staring straight into Yu You's eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you ready to follow me back to see the old man at the end of this month?"
It’s not real, so what other preparations should I make?
Yu You hesitated a little, but nodded: "I will cooperate with you."
Jiang Xunzhou hummed softly: "Go to sleep."
Yu You walked away, looking back every three steps, and saw Jiang Xunzhou sitting on the sofa without moving, just rubbing his temples slowly, as if he was in great pain.
After thinking for a while, she poured another cup of hot water, turned back and put it in Jiang Xunzhou's hand, saying, "Husband, make sure you get some rest."
Jiang Xunzhou suddenly asked, "Which guest room have you been sleeping in recently?"
Yu You nodded: "Yes, yes."
Before the passionate stage, he likes to stay alone in his own space.
Jiang Xunzhou chuckled meaninglessly: "Yeah, that's good."
Yu You felt that Jiang Xunzhou looked weird and couldn't figure out the reason. Holding his water cup, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and timidly slipped back to the room.
Mr. Jiang’s birthday party is held in a secluded hot spring resort. There are many guests, and you can go there a week in advance.
Jiang Xunzhou took Yu You back to his parents' place and planned to take a private plane there together.
When they arrived, Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran were worried about the gifts. The jade Buddha they had originally prepared was cracked during transportation and could not be delivered.
Jiang Mingyan happened to be there too, and was planning to take a flight over with them. She pulled Yu You to the living room and happily talked about the new drama's scheduled broadcast.
Jiang Xunzhou went upstairs alone and heard his parents discussing in the study what other gifts would be more appropriate.
"Why don't you give him the two 180-year-old wild ginsengs, a few boxes of sika deer antler wax slices, and some natural cordyceps? He happens to like drinking, so these top-quality herbs can be used to make nourishing wine."
Jiang Junran nodded thoughtfully: "The old man has no shortage of valuable ornaments. Why not send him some rare medicinal herbs? I remember there are a few bottles of wild deer penis wine given by a friend in the storage room. The age is particularly good..."
Jiang Xunzhou knocked on the door twice.
Su Qiuling turned around and saw him, and smiled: "Xun Zhou is here?"
Jiang Xunzhou responded, walked into the study, and calmly suggested, "The old man is so old now. If he is given too much nourishment, it will be counterproductive. It is better to give him something else."
"That's the same principle."
Su Qiuling discussed with Jiang Junran again: "How about giving them the two original paintings of Pine Crane Prolonging Life and Hundred Flowers Celebrating Birthday?"
The congratulatory gift was finally finalized.
"The old man is not suitable for such a strong tonic, but I am."
Jiang Xunzhou said calmly, "Dad, Mom, when you get back from Grandpa's, please send me all those wild ginseng, deer antler slices, and deer penis wine. Dad, I remember a friend of yours has a private fishery overseas that sends fresh seafood here every year. Could you also send me some oysters, sea cucumbers, and California clams?"
Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran were shocked as if struck by lightning.
Su Qiuling asked in a trembling voice, "No, Xunzhou, at your age... you should start making up for it?"
Jiang Xunzhou sighed: "...I have to make up for it."
After that night, he quickly made adjustments and now has a very calm mentality.
Jiang Junran's eyes revealed a look of sympathy. He coughed and said, "Men are bound to suffer as they age... but it's really too early for you. I have a few boxes of high-quality dried seahorses here. When you come back, you can take some back with you. They're also very effective in making soup."
Jiang Xunzhou nodded: "Thank you, Dad."
They went downstairs and saw Jiang Mingyan chattering with Yu You. Yu You had a small face, red lips and white teeth. He sat on the sofa with his knees together, smiling obediently, exuding a clean youthful aura.
Seeing Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran coming down, Yu You greeted them politely, then stood next to Jiang Xunzhou and gently hooked his hand: "Husband."
Su Qiuling couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Junran, "Xiaoyu is such a good child. Even with Xunzhou's situation, she is still willing to continue to be with our Xunzhou. This must mean she really loves him."
Jiang Junran also nodded seriously.
Yu You also felt that Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran were looking at him strangely, and asked Jiang Xunzhou in a low voice: "What did you say to your aunt and uncle upstairs?"
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said, "Just say that you are the only one I want in this life."
oh!
Yu You understood instantly.
It turns out that they were laying the groundwork for equity issues again. Mr. Jiang is really dedicated and never forgets his image wherever he goes.
After all, he is just a small star. His uncle and aunt must have complicated feelings when they suddenly heard such news.
The competitive spirit of an actor suddenly ignited, Yu You clenched his fist and swore secretly.
Since the boss is like this, he has to work harder!
Jiang Qingyan had not arrived yet, so they sat in the living room, chatting while waiting for someone.
Yu You was extremely attentive.
After a while, she handed over the cup of water and said sweetly, "Are you thirsty, honey? Have some water."
After a while, she peeled a green grape with her own hands and brought it to Jiang Xunzhou's mouth: "Husband, this grape is so sweet, try it."
Jiang Xunzhou gave him face and took the water. He also lowered his head to eat the grapes that Yu You brought him. He bit his fingertips lightly and chuckled, "Thank you, little fish baby."
Jiang Mingyan sat opposite them, and the interaction between the young couple was clearly visible to her.
He completely collapsed and started calling Jiang Qingyan frantically: "Brother Qingyan, when are you coming?! There are young couples bullying singles here! I won't live if you don't come!"
Jiang Qingyan finally arrived under urging. Jiang Mingyan looked redeemed, and Yu You also felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God, everyone is finally here and we can go.
His throat was almost smoking from the hoarseness and he was almost fed up with his own acting, but Jiang Xunzhou was still able to accept it calmly without changing his expression.
She even learned from his experience and broke off a mandarin orange, coaxed him to open his mouth, fed him the food, and wiped the juice from his lips with a tissue. She was so gentle and considerate that everyone else present was stunned.
The group went to the airport for the private plane and divided into two cars. Jiang Qingyan, Jiang Xunzhou and Yu You took one car.
Jiang Qingyan casually asked Jiang Xunzhou: "How do you feel about the capsules I gave you last time? Do you still need them?"
He was originally joking, and he knew that his younger brother was very concerned about his reputation, so he would not admit it in person even if necessary.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Xunzhou agreed directly: "Okay, thank you in advance, brother."
Jiang Qingyan looked at him in horror, suspecting that his brother had been possessed by another spirit.
Jiang Xunzhou calmly advised him, "Brother, men tend to start going downhill after they turn 25. This is a normal and necessary process. I advise you to start supplementing your energy early and don't be afraid to seek medical attention."
Yu You poked his head out: "What? What?"
Jiang Xunzhou's ears were a little red. He pushed Yu You's head back and said perfunctorily, "Nothing. I was just telling my brother that I'm usually tired and stressed at work, so I'd better get some extra nutrition."
Jiang Qingyan understood and held back his laughter.
She can't even act in front of them, so how can she save the last bit of her face in front of her boyfriend?
A group of people arrived at the airport and took a private plane to the private hot spring villa where Mr. Jiang usually recuperated and where the birthday party was held.
It was already evening, and they each took their luggage and went to check into their own small villa.
Jiang Mingyan clung to the door and refused to leave: "Little Fish Baby! I'll come find you to go out and play tomorrow!"
Jiang Xunzhou crossed his arms and said, "Jiang Mingyan, do you have any manners? You're such a grown-up, and you still need someone to play with you?"
Yu You had a mission to complete this time, so he could only smile apologetically at Jiang Mingyan: "Sister Mingyan, I'm sorry, I want to spend some time alone with my husband."
Jiang Mingyan could only shake her head and sigh as she left: "You are such a good fish, why did you fall for my brother?..."
After closing the door, Yu You turned to look at Jiang Xunzhou and asked tentatively: "Husband, are we going to sleep together tonight here?"
Jiang Xunzhou nodded: "There will be staff to clean up every day. If we don't sleep together, it will be easy for the old man and others to find us."
"Okay."
Yu You had no objection. He hesitated for a moment, took two steps closer, and whispered into Jiang Xunzhou's ear.
The warm breath was like a gentle breeze, causing Jiang Xunzhou's mind to waver.
Yu You whispered, "On the way here, my aunt was a little strange. She pulled me aside and said something that made me miserable."
Jiang Xunzhou said calmly, "Maybe it's because I'm usually busy with work and can't go home often. My mom is worried that I'll neglect you."
Yu You suddenly realized: "Is that so."
It was late, so the two of them went to wash up and lay down on the bed in the master bedroom.
The bed here was rather hard, and Yu You wasn't used to it, so he rolled into Jiang Xunzhou's arms spontaneously and adjusted himself into a comfortable position.
Jiang Xunzhou stretched out his hand and put it around Yu You's waist.
Yu You raised his face, put the tip of his nose on Jiang Xunzhou's neck, and rubbed it with dependence and affection.
The warm skin slowly exudes the cool and pleasant scent of vetiver, soothing tired nerves and bringing a sense of security.
Yu You's eyes became slightly blurry, and a vague snoring sound could not be controlled from his throat. He was interrupted by a hand that suddenly appeared on his forehead. He raised his long eyelashes and asked in confusion: "Hmm?"
Jiang Xunzhou withdrew his hand and said, "It's okay, just check if you have a fever."
Yu You said "oh" without thinking too much, and whispered: "By the way, husband, this place is worthy of being a hot spring villa. The temperature is so comfortable, like spring."
Jiang Xunzhou said, "If you like, I can ask the old man for a few properties, and then we can spend every winter here."
each year?
Yu You was stunned.
Aren't their contracts only for two years?
But on second thought, such words put in front of the old man became strong proof of their relationship, and it would not be an exaggeration to say so.
"Okay, okay." Yu You's eyes sparkled, "This place is perfect for the winter."
Jiang Xunzhou reached out his hand, gently pinched Yu You's soft cheek, and whispered, "The old man knows we're here today, so he told us to go find him tomorrow, quietly, without telling anyone."
The birthday party was scheduled for a week later. Yu You had originally thought he could relax for a few days before meeting the old man, but he didn't expect to meet him tomorrow. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Ah, is this a private meeting? Is it related to the equity issue?"
"yes."
Jiang Xunzhou said: "Don't be nervous, just leave it to me."
His tone was steady and unhurried, as always.
Yu You's tense shoulders slowly relaxed and he hummed softly.
In the morning, the two men got in the car sent by Mr. Jiang and headed to a house deep in the villa.
The housekeeper led them to the garden. The old man had gray hair, wore a wide hat, and was wearing a gray gardener's suit. He was cutting a few bunches of branches.
"Coming?"
The old man noticed them, straightened up, and handed the scissors to the housekeeper next to him in a voice as loud as a bell. He looked energetic and in good shape.
Jiang Xunzhou respectfully called him Grandpa, and Yu You also called him Grandpa obediently beside him.
"This is Xiao Yu, right? I finally met him today."
Mr. Jiang looked at Yu You with a kind expression and asked, "But I saw in the information that Xiao Yu went to college to study psychological counseling. Why do you want to go into filming?"
Yu You's heart tightened, but before he could say anything, Jiang Xunzhou calmly spoke up, "Xiaoyu Baby told me about this—he was financially strapped and couldn't find a good part-time job. He heard from his agent that being an actor could make money, so he gave it a try."
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "He's a good kid who knows how to be grateful. He knows how to give back when he makes money. I heard that he donated most of his salary from two filmings back to the welfare home that raised him."
Yu You had no idea why Mr. Jiang knew about this. He broke out in a cold sweat and could only respond hesitantly.
Jiang Xunzhou tilted his head slightly, looking at Yu You with a soft and doting look in his eyes: "Really? He didn't even tell me about this."
Mr. Jiang changed the subject, "Last month, Mingyan came back to see me and praised Xiaoyu profusely. She said that although he wasn't a professional actor, he looked like he had received professional training. He knew everything about positioning, was sensitive to the camera, and could get into the role quickly. He was like a natural-born actor."
He looked at Jiang Xunzhou with a meaningful look in his eyes. "I was curious, so I asked someone to look up Xiao Yu's previous information. But don't you think it's strange? In the sealed files of the schools he attended, all the scanned copies of his exams, transcripts, and activity videos are gone."
Jiang Xunzhou said calmly, "Since these are old files, it's normal for them to be accidentally lost."
Yu You's brain was buzzing like a bell. He stood there, not daring to say a word.
"Okay, let's not stand here like we're being punished." Old Master Jiang walked forward slowly. "Let's go inside and talk."
Jiang Xunzhou responded, and seeing the faint sense of helplessness in Yu You's eyes, he squeezed his hand, slowed down his tone, and whispered, "What are you afraid of? I said, just leave it to me."
He smiled and said, "No matter what."
