"What?!"
Although the secondhand smoke was a bit pungent, Chu Yuying fanned the air in front of her face with her hand. But this was clearly not the time to argue with the blond-haired guy. Her eyes widened instantly. Although she had suspected it before, it was still hard for Chu Yuying to accept that it was now a fact: "Is Brother Xiaoyue really leaving?"
"Hmm, they probably won't be leaving right away. Brother Yue, you mean... there are still several days to go."
Xia Che had a cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke from his mouth obscured his expression.
"What should we do? This won't do! Just leaving like that... that's irresponsible!"
Almost instantly, the angel in Chu Yuying's mind triumphed over the demon. Winning over the blond-haired boy was important, but even if Sister Xiaoyue lived in the house, Chu Yuying was confident that she could successfully win over Xia Che. This had nothing to do with the other party.
During their time living together, the deep friendship that Chu Yuying and Yu Shiyue had built was on full display at this moment. The devilish thoughts vanished, and she was filled with anxiety.
Sister Xiaoyue, you absolutely cannot leave!
"Why do you always say things that are easy to misunderstand... So, that phone call is the key. We don't know what Yue talked about with the other party, but we can roughly judge that the key factor that led Yue to decide to leave was his home."
This heart-to-heart talk with Brother Yue wasn't entirely fruitless; at the very least, it confirmed one thing for Xia Che.
Brother Yue didn't leave voluntarily. The so-called reasons were for the family business, wanting to make a fortune, and considering his own future...
Xia Che simply couldn't believe that someone who would rather be so poor as to eat steamed buns than forget to buy art supplies would give up his dream for the sake of his so-called future.
Based on Xia Che's understanding of Yu Shiyue, she is a very determined person. Once she sets her mind on a path, few can change it. Therefore, Yue-xiong's decision to leave must have been forced upon her.
"Then what are we waiting for? I'll go with you, let's persuade him together! Family? Family is nothing! Xiaoyue is an adult, he's a free adult, okay? What he wants to do and where he wants to go should be his own decision. Why should his family feel so comfortable manipulating Xiaoyue?"
Chu Yuying, like a bristling silver hedgehog, suddenly jumped out of the bathtub, grabbed Xia Che's wrist, and was about to go find Yu Shiyue.
"Stop bothering me, Brother Yue doesn't want to talk about this with me. He seems to be in a bad mood... otherwise, why would I have come back so quickly?"
Xia Che remained motionless, letting Chu Yuying pull him along. He suddenly sighed, "The key issue now is to figure out what they talked about. Do you remember if Brother Yue talked to us about his family?"
The one who tied the knot must untie it; the key to breaking the deadlock now lies in that phone call.
Moreover, the other party's willingness is also very important if we want to keep Brother Yue here.
To be frank, this was ultimately Yue's personal decision. Whether he was forced into it, whether he didn't want to leave, and whether things were really as they suspected, are still hard to say.
But Yue is now refusing to communicate, leaving Xia Che feeling powerless and frustrated.
"No……"
Chu Yuying thought about it carefully, then shook her head blankly. "I only know that Xiaoyue's family situation is very complicated, and it seems that his family doesn't support him coming to Jiang City to share an apartment with us. But Xiaoyue has never talked to me about this, so I don't know much about it."
"Is that so... It's most likely a long-standing grudge. Sigh, these kinds of family matters are the hardest to handle. After all, it's their family affair, and we're outsiders. We don't have the right to advise them."
Xia Che rubbed his temples, feeling a terrible headache.
Suddenly, Xia Che seemed to realize something, and the hand that was rubbing his temples froze for a moment.
Wait a moment……
Brother Yue's family?
Oh, right!
They were outsiders and didn't know much about Yue's family, but...
As someone from Yuexiong's family, she must know, right?
Xia Che actually knew such a person.
You could even say that the other party owes you a very large favor.
If it weren't for me, the other person would be in jail.
Xia Che's heart settled instantly, and he also had an idea.
“I have a plan. You go back to sleep first. In the time before Brother Yue leaves, spend more time with him. Don’t mention a single word about tonight, and don’t try to persuade him. Leave everything to me. Just pretend you know nothing, understand?”
Xia Che looked at Chu Yuying and gave her instructions with a serious expression.
"Huh? Can't I participate? But Xiaoyue is also my good friend!"
Chu Yuying was immediately unwilling upon hearing this. She was the first to notice the other party's abnormality, so why was the little blond guy trying to optimize her first?
Crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge?
"No, no... you didn't understand. We've divided the work. You're in charge of showing Yue around and making him happy, while I'm in charge of figuring out what happened and sharing the information with you later."
Xia Che solemnly extended his hand to Chu Yuying and said in a deep voice, "This is a plan between the two of us, and it absolutely cannot be leaked. Whether Brother Yue can stay and continue to live with us depends on the two of us."
"...Is it just a plan between the two of us? Well, that sounds quite interesting."
Chu Yuying's eyes lit up. She really liked the feeling of having a secret with the little blond guy, as if he was sharing his private possessions with her, something that only someone important to him could have.
Her previous reluctance vanished instantly, and Chu Yuying reached out and held Xia Che's hand tightly.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Xia Che tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled gently.
...
The night passed quietly, white clouds flew across the sky, and the blue sky used the sun as a chess piece, announcing the arrival of a new day.
"Hmm..."
Yu Shiyue slowly opened her eyes and woke up from her dream. However, she did not get up immediately. Instead, she stared blankly at the pillow in front of her, her mind still hazy.
I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; it showed the current time: 7:30.
"It's only seven o'clock..."
Yu Shiyue sat up in bed and rubbed her head, which was throbbing with pain.
She thought about many things last night and was so upset that she couldn't sleep. She finally managed to fall asleep around 4 a.m. She thought she would sleep until noon, but she woke up at 7 a.m.
"Have some breakfast first, then take a nap..."
Yu Shiyue shook her head, lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed when she saw her phone, which was under her pillow, vibrate slightly and then the screen lit up.
"...Who messaged me so early in the morning?"
Yu Shiyue paused for a moment, but still picked up her phone and opened it.
"Would it be convenient for us to meet up and talk? I'd like to know some things about your brother and his family."
It was sent by Xia Che.
