Yu Shu lived with Jiang Yu for a while, but he didn't feel used to it, so he moved back to his own flat.
"It's still more comfortable at home." Yu Shu murmured as he looked at the chandelier on the ceiling.
Yu Huan, who was helping with the luggage, came out of the bedroom and said, "Jiang...Brother-in-law's house is big and well-decorated, why did you come back to live here?"
They came back from Changbai Mountain and held a banquet to officially announce the birth of Jiang Yu. However, Yu Huan still always called Jiang Yu "Jiang Yu" and "Jiang Yu" casually. Yu Shu was a more traditional person. He believed that his relationship with Jiang Yu was settled and Yu Huan, as his younger brother, should distinguish between the generations. He mentioned several times that Yu Huan should call Jiang Yu "brother-in-law".
"No matter how good it is, it's not a place to live." Yu Shu lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh, satisfied.
"There are aunties to clean and cook, and the facilities from the basement to the third floor are complete. Isn't it a place to live?" Yu Huan didn't quite understand.
The early summer sun was already a bit dazzling. Yu Shu stood up again and slightly pulled the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. The muscles of his hands were slightly undulating in the backlight, and his tall back looked somewhat comfortable and lazy.
"Maybe it's because you're quite satisfied with your school life."
Before Yu Huan moved out, he often went to Wang Zhiyao's university dormitory, so he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with living in a group.
But in Yu Shu's view, home is a warm and private space, but Jiang Yu turned the first and second floors into office areas. As soon as he woke up and went downstairs, he saw work-related things and felt tired from working 24 hours a day.
You can still bear it for two or three months, but you can’t stand it for more than that.
Yu Huan was puzzled and said, "What does this have to do with school?" This is not Yu Huan's fault. He grew up in a strictly controlled home and only officially left that place in his twenties. Many of his cognitions have already been formed subconsciously.
Yu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Because I don't want to be in the same room with my colleagues, the atmosphere of family life will be squeezed out to very little."
"Then you can just tell Jiang, uh, Gefu no directly." Yu Huan said as a matter of course.
It would be good for two people to discuss it together, but Yu Shu couldn't bring himself to do so.
The relationship does not depend entirely on Jiang Yu's unilateral efforts.
Jiang Yu is Jiang Yu first, and only then his husband.
Therefore, Yu Shu couldn't do it, let alone speak up.
"Would you let Wang Zhiyao take a year off and delay graduation just because you want to graduate together?"
"That's definitely not the case."
"That's pretty much the same logic. If what I want requires him to pay a huge price, then it's better not to ask. At most, I can be diligent and come up with a backup plan to satisfy him without him resisting."
Yu Huan nodded and said nothing more.
Yu Shu invited Zhao Jingyun to a banquet he and Jiang Yu had arranged, but she didn't show up, only offering a bland congratulations through the screen. He then realized his approach had gone awry, not explaining things to Zhao Jingyun promptly, leaving her feeling resentful.
He sent an apology message on WeChat, but Zhao Jingyun always ignored it or changed the subject. He wanted to apologize in person, but they always couldn't agree on time.
When he moved back this time, Yu Shu went straight to knock on the door.
Zhao Jingyun looked through the peephole and opened the door directly: "Hey, why did you move back?"
She was not as indifferent and distant as she appeared on the Internet. She was no different from before and smiled as she invited Yu Shu into the house.
"Come back and stay for a while. Um, I'm sorry." Yu Shu glanced at Zhao Jingyun, then lowered his eyes to look at the tea leaves unfolding at the bottom of the cup.
Zhao Jingyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what Yu Shu meant.
It seems that Yu Shu misunderstood her. She was really busy some time ago because one of her friends planned to open a training institution specializing in studying abroad. She helped and used connections, and there were also a lot of things going on in the bureau. She was so busy that she misremembered the time and missed the banquet that Yu Shu invited her to.
"Don't overthink it. I've been very busy lately." Zhao Jingyun took the documents on the table and showed them to Yu Shu: "It's not that I don't want to go or reply to messages. I've been extremely busy lately."
There was a thick stack of information, and Yu Shu felt tired just by looking at those words.
"I still have to say sorry to you. I should have made it clear to you earlier." Yu Shu said apologetically.
Zhao Jingyun waved her hand: "It's a small matter. I can see it even if you don't say it. I just didn't expect you to like this type."
Who can predict fate? Yu Shu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that either. But I'm glad you're not angry. I was always worried that I didn't explain it clearly to you."
"Am I such a stingy person?" Zhao Jingyun smiled gently with her eyebrows curved, and the dark circles under her eyes were very obvious.
"That's not what I meant. I was just afraid that if I didn't explain myself clearly you might misunderstand me."
"Just a joke. But..." Zhao Jingyun drew out her words, and her peripheral vision caught sight of a tall figure standing at the door that she had forgotten to close.
Yu Shu didn't notice at all: "But what."
"But, with your personality, Jiang Yu will definitely eat you to death." Zhao Jingyun narrowed her eyes and revealed a meaningful smile.
"How is that possible!?" Yu Shu retorted with his eyes wide open.
Zhao Jingyun lowered her head to glance at her fingernails, then raised her eyes and glanced at the person standing at the door. She smiled faintly and said, "Are you really coming back to stay for a while?"
"My own home is comfortable." Yu Shu answered without thinking.
"You two are together, so Jiang Yu's home is also your home." Zhao Jingyun pressed Yu Shu's words relentlessly.
"That's what I said, but I just want to come back and live here." Yu Shu didn't want to tell Zhao Jingyun the real reason.
Zhao Jingyun probed, "Since you're back living here, and I'm pretty busy here, why don't we find a time to have dinner together? We made an appointment to have dinner together before, and it's been almost half a year, so we should have time now, right?"
Yu Shu frowned slightly and hesitated for two seconds: "I'd better ask Jiang Yu first, he's so jealous."
Zhao Jingyun took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Are you afraid of being checked on by your husband because he's so strict?"
"He's young, so I'll take better care of him. It would be so boring if they quarreled over such a trivial matter. It's better to avoid quarrels if possible."
As Yu Shu spoke, Jiang Yu's jealous look appeared in his mind. The expressionless face was now covered with a hint of panic and dissatisfaction, and the tone of his voice was much more bullying than usual. As he thought about it, his expression couldn't help but soften a lot.
"Okay, then you ask. Maybe he'll agree soon." Zhao Jingyun glanced at the person at the door and continued, "Can I ask a little gossip?"
"Since you say so, you can definitely ask."
"You definitely don't just want to come back and stay for a while. If you don't tell me, you don't consider me a friend."
Zhao Jingyun's slender white fingers tapped lightly on the marble coffee table, and her sharp eyes made Yu Shu unconsciously want to avoid her.
Yu Shu still didn't know that there was someone standing behind him. He thought Zhao Jingyun was looking at him, so he shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the green plants on the windowsill with his lips parted.
He hesitated whether to say it or not. Zhao Jingyun had no blood relationship with him, and his close relationship with Jiang Yu was a private matter and it was not appropriate to tell outsiders.
But Zhao Jingyun is his old neighbor again. Because of their previous work, they don’t have much interaction, but they have a good relationship.
Yu Shu took a breath and spoke slowly: "Everything about his family is good, but it doesn't feel like home."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Jingyun only knew that Jiang Yu lived in the villa area of Yide Mansion, but she had never been there and didn't know the real situation. After hearing what Yu Shu said, her curiosity was aroused.
And the person involved was eavesdropping openly from behind.
"His house is quite unique, and I'm a rather conservative person. I always feel that home is my private space. I don't like to see a lot of work-related things when I get up and go downstairs."
"Then just let him change." Zhao Jingyun said as matter of course as Yu Huan.
Yu Shu said calmly, "It's not a question of whether to change or not, but a question of getting used to people. He grew up with his master, and his master's family is the same. It will take me some time to adapt."
"You're all together now, so why can't you discuss and solve it together?"
"Just think about it, boys this age always feel they should give everything they have to others. Even though Jiang Yu seems to be very capable, if I really told him, there's a good chance he would make a lot of changes to accommodate me."
"I don't like him just because he's willing to obey. And if something like this happens once, it will happen again. Over time, it will even become a habit, making me feel that he should do it that way."
Zhao Jingyun's eyelids twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
She also knew a few gays and had heard about that circle. They believed that a marriage of more than three months was considered a golden wedding. She thought that Yu Shu and Jiang Yu were just together for the sake of novelty, so she had a preconceived notion that as time went on, Jiang Yu and Yu Shu would naturally succumb to the pressure of reality.
But she didn't expect Yu Shu to think so deeply.
"This isn't a solution, is it?" Zhao Jingyun said, "Rather than saying you're adapting, it's more like you're suppressing yourself."
Yu Shu's fingers roamed along the smooth edge of the marble table, his half-lidded eyes filled with tenderness. His slow, yet powerful, words were resolute and unwavering: "Not really. I'm keeping an eye out for office buildings. If I find a suitable one, I'll rent it. But I still feel a little selfish, acting without consulting you."
"You really treat him as a family member." Zhao Jingyun still said it.
"I know you're worried about whether our lives will be too stressful in the future, or whether we'll face different opinions. But life is ultimately your own. If you let go because of such a simple issue, how can we be considered a family?"
Yu Shu tilted his head and smiled, his pupils filled with sunlight sparkling with amber light, just like a gem lying in a drop of clear water.
Zhao Jingyun raised her voice and shouted towards the door: "Jiang Yu, did you hear that? You are so lucky."
Yu Shu was slightly startled and looked back. Jiang Yu was standing at the door in summer clothes, looking at him.
"Now it becomes a case of reporting first and executing later." Jiang Yucong put his arms around Yu Shu and rubbed his chin on his shoulder.
"When did you come?" Yu Shu gently pushed Jiang Yu's head.
Zhao Jingyun covered her mouth and laughed, meeting Jiang Yu's gaze: "After all, I did help, and Yu Shu had made an appointment with me to have dinner. You just heard Yu Shu was afraid that you would be jealous, so now it's time to give an answer."
Yu Shu's head buzzed. Jiang Yu must have heard almost everything.
Jiang Yu's gaze was only temporarily shifted to Zhao Jingyun for a few seconds, and then immediately fell back to Yu Shu, his tone still a little jealous: "Go home before 8:30."
The two of them walked out together. Just as they reached the door, Jiang Yu seemed to remember something and turned around and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I ruined your dinner at the private restaurant."
Because that time when he sprained his ankle and got a cold heel was all directed and acted by Jiang Yu himself, just to make Yu Shu see that he was worried and would not go back to find Zhao Jingyun.
