Chapter 41 Drinking Water Baby Dare to Do It But Not to Take Responsibility
On the day the old man was buried in the cemetery, the fog was thick and the rain was heavy, hitting the black umbrellas densely and heavily.
Yu You and Jiang Xunzhou saw the old man off for the last time and said a formal farewell.
After coming back, life gradually got back on track.
The movie in which Yu You participated completed post-production and was sent to an international film festival for review. There was a vague news that it was shortlisted. Many directors heard about it and took the initiative to hand Yu You scripts for a chance to cooperate, and business also came in one after another.
Jiang Xunzhou shifted his work focus from Xingtian Entertainment to helping his brother handle the affairs of Jianghe Group. He quickly stabilized the situation and everything was moving in a good direction. In his spare time, he would go back with Yu You to visit Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran.
Just another ordinary family dinner.
As Su Qiuling cooked more often, her experience points continued to increase, and she developed many novel and delicious dishes.
"It's ready to be served!"
Su Qiuling's tone was joyful. She tied an apron around her neck and put the fried garlic sea bass slices into a shell plate, sprinkling some green chopped green onions on it.
Yu You, who was standing beside her, praised her enthusiastically, "Auntie, your technique of sprinkling chopped green onions is extraordinary. It's definitely the standard of a Michelin chef!"
Su Qiuling was so coaxed that her face was full of smiles: "I hired a chef to come to my house some time ago. I learned a lot of orthodox techniques. It seems to be the same, right?"
"Similar, very similar."
Yu You nodded, but then felt a little regretful and asked eagerly, "But Auntie, aren't you going to make the innovative dishes you used to make?"
Such complex-flavored pastes and soups can never be found anywhere else except at Su Qiuling's place.
It’s a pity for Yu You.
Su Qiuling smiled and said, "Little Fish, if you want to eat it, Auntie will make it especially for you. There's no share for them."
Yu You's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
Jiang Xunzhou was arranging the dishes in the restaurant - Yu You had to control his weight when he joined the next crew, so the relatively rich dishes were placed in front of the other family members, and the simple and light dishes were placed in front of him and Yu You's seats.
Jiang Junran opened a bottle of red wine, placed it on the table and asked, "Is Qingyan not back yet?"
Jiang Xunzhou said, "He has a client to meet this morning and will probably be back soon."
As they were talking, there was a noise at the entrance. The servant opened the door and welcomed Jiang Qingyan in.
Jiang Xunzhou asked in surprise: "Brother, what did you mention?"
Jiang Qingyan walked over a few steps and picked up the things in his hand to show them: "This is a box of oyster oil sent by a cooperative client. They said it is a very famous local brand. It is an antioxidant, relieves fatigue, and is also suitable for men in the pregnancy stage."
He casually asked, "Do you want it? If not, I'm giving it to a friend who just got married."
Jiang Junran coughed: "...I don't need it."
Jiang Xunzhou stared at the words on the gift box, his eyes flashing for two seconds, and said, "Not for now."
When they heard the word "temporarily", they were surprised and looked at Jiang Xunzhou in unison.
Jiang Junran's expression darkened. "You and Xiaoyu aren't planning on finding someone else to have a child with, are you?"
"Dad, what are you thinking? How could I possibly do such a thing?" Jiang Xunzhou looked helpless. It was not easy to directly talk about Yu You's physical condition, so he simply covered it up. "What if I want to relieve my work fatigue later?"
Jiang Junran finally felt relieved and nodded: "As long as you don't have any bad intentions."
Su Qiuling came out of the kitchen last and said excitedly, "Everyone is here. It's time to sit down and eat. What were you talking about?"
Yu You also came out, pulled out the chair next to Jiang Xunzhou and sat down.
Jiang Qingyan shook the gift box and briefly repeated the conversation to Su Qiuling.
Su Qiuling laughed: "Xun Zhou doesn't like children in the first place, how could he have such thoughts? I'm not worried at all."
Yu You's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
So Jiang Xunzhou doesn’t like children?
He turned around and saw Jiang Xunzhou not participating in the conversation. He was concentrating on picking the small bones from the sea bass and then putting the snow-white fish fillet into Yu You's bowl. "Baby, eat fish."
Yu You suppressed his thoughts, nodded obediently, and picked up the fish fillet to eat.
The manor is located in the suburbs, far from the city center. After having dinner here, people usually stay overnight.
Yu You and Jiang Xunzhou live in Jiang Xunzhou's childhood room.
The room retained its previous decorations, with posters of football stars, building block models, competition trophies in glass cabinets... everywhere were traces of Jiang Xunzhou's growth, with only a photo frame on the bedside table containing their engagement photo.
The bookshelf was filled with books. Yu You walked closer and found a photo album. He took it out and flipped through it.
——A little boy of five or six years old was wearing a black suit, had a stern face, and stood with his hands in his pockets, looking very arrogant.
Yu You couldn't help but curl his eyes.
It turns out that President Jiang has loved to act cool since he was a child.
The door of the bathroom in the bedroom opened, and Jiang Xunzhou, naked from the waist up and wrapped in a bath towel, walked out with hot steam: "Baby, I'm done, you..."
He walked a few steps closer, saw what Yu You was holding, and a trace of embarrassment crossed his face: "Why are you suddenly looking at the photo album?"
"I happened to see it and flipped through it." Yu You said with a smile, "It's very cute."
Jiang Xunzhou's ears turned slightly red. He coughed and took the photo album from Yu You's hand. "These are all candid photos of me when I was a child. There's nothing good to see. Baby, go take a bath. It's very late."
Yu You didn't move, and asked tentatively: "Husband, Auntie said you don't like children, is that true?"
Jiang Xunzhou nodded: "Yes, I used to. I thought children were noisy and annoying, so I didn't like them very much."
Yu You asked, "You still don't like it now?"
Jiang Xunzhou heard something else: "If you like it, I like it too."
Yu You mustered up the courage: "Do you want to have a baby with me?"
Jiang Xunzhou's first reaction was to reach out and touch Yu You's forehead to see if he had a low fever.
But it feels warm to the touch and the body temperature is within the normal range.
"I'm not in the passionate stage yet. I'm in a sober state now." Yu You pulled down Jiang Xunzhou's hand and snorted in dissatisfaction, "I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to, then don't worry."
"When did I say I didn't want to?"
Jiang Xunzhou found it amusing. He wrapped Yu You's hand in his own and patiently explained, "Our Xiaoyu Baby is currently in the rising stage of his career. It's not the right time yet. If you suddenly disappear from the public eye because of me, your fans will tear me apart."
Yu You's face turned red. "I told you I was just asking casually, not really planning anything. I know my career is more important right now."
"Okay, just asking." Jiang Xunzhou's eyes flashed with an indulgent smile, "The ambitious little fish baby is the best-behaved baby in the world."
Yu You raised the corner of his lips: "It sounds like you are going to become my career fan."
Jiang Xunzhou said: "Yes, I am trying to become your number one fan in every track."
Yu You chuckled twice, looking very satisfied, and said, "Okay, my number one fan, I'm going to take a shower."
She remembered something and hooked Jiang Xunzhou's finger, saying sincerely, "Oh, honey, put on some clothes and be more serious. We're still at home, and it's not good to be too…"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xunzhou's eight abdominal muscles covered with water droplets, but then she looked away with a blush and a beating heart.
The longer they were together, the more he couldn't resist Jiang Xunzhou's direct temptation.
Jiang Xunzhou knew what he liked and took the initiative to invite him: "Would you like to touch it?"
Yu You's gaze wavered for a moment, unable to resist the temptation. He nodded and replied in a reserved tone, "Then I'll touch it lightly."
Just by touching it, the atmosphere became charming. In the end, touching it once became touching it several times.
"Baby, we're already engaged, it's legitimate..."
Jiang Xunzhou bit Yu You's ear and panted, his voice low and hoarse, which made Yu You's face flush and his waist weaken.
Intentional.
It must be intentional.
But even though he knew it was a trap, Yu You couldn't help but jump down.
The sound of water splashing in the bathroom rang out again, as if covering up something. This time, it echoed for a long time before finally and slowly stopping.
Jiang Xunzhou carried Yu You, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, back to the bed and got into the quilt together.
Yu You's eyelashes were thick and long, half-closed and drooping, like the wings of a weak butterfly stained with a few water droplets. The tails of his beautiful eyes were a faint red like peach blossoms, and he was so tired that he almost fell asleep.
Jiang Xunzhou asked: "Baby, do you want some water?"
Yu You nodded listlessly: "Yes, I want to drink."
His voice was hoarse and tired from overuse.
Jiang Xunzhou thought about what had just happened and felt a little guilty.
He had indeed gone too far, and even deliberately lied about the poor soundproofing here. The young man was so frightened that he could only hug him and sob softly, afraid that his voice would be heard accidentally. He was even more clingy than usual...
Jiang Xunzhou felt a little hot all over again. He suppressed his wandering thoughts, half sat up, took a glass of water on the bedside table, held Yu You in his arms, and carefully fed him water.
Yu You lowered his head and drank half a cup. A pale red bite mark appeared on his fair neck, emitting a light scent of iris.
After she finished drinking, she leaned over and kissed Jiang Xunzhou on the cheek: "Thank you, husband."
His lips were bright red, with a layer of crystal-clear water. The kiss he gave was light and soft, leaving a trace of moisture on Jiang Xunzhou's face.
Jiang Xunzhou whispered, "You're welcome. After all, I drank a lot of the baby's water."
Even though they have been together for so long, Yu You still can't stand Jiang Xunzhou saying weird things in a serious tone. His cheeks quickly heated up and he scratched Jiang Xunzhou's chest.
The force was not strong, the cat's claws were scratching and patting like a playful act, which made people feel soft inside.
Jiang Xunzhou asked innocently, "Is what I said wrong?"
Yu You's cheeks flushed red, and he couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong. He said angrily, "I won't give you any next time."
Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you don't give it to me, who do you want to give it to?"
Yu You turned around, his back facing Jiang Xunzhou indifferently, his red jade-like ear tips peeking out from between his soft hair. He muttered to himself, "Anyway, I won't give it to you."
Jiang Xunzhou wrapped his arms around him, leaned close to his ear, and whispered meaningfully, "Are you really not going to give it to me? When you were rubbing my nose..."
Yu You screamed, turned around and fiercely covered Jiang Xunzhou's mouth, almost fainting from shame: "Stop talking!"
Jiang Xunzhou smiled and said, "How dare you do it but not take responsibility for it?"
Yu You covered Jiang Xunzhou's mouth with his hand, making his voice muffled and unclear. He moved away a little and asked, "What did you just say?"
Jiang Xunzhou's heart softened. He lowered his head, curled his thin lips slightly, and kissed Yu You's palm, saying, "Just now I said, why is the baby so cute."
