Chapter 28: Once he takes the throne, it will be completely...
Song Yu and Zhou Ci live happily together. Since Zhou Ci moved in, Song Yu's quality of life has improved significantly.
Zhou Ci is simply a good housekeeper. He takes care of all the housework. If Song Yu wasn't afraid that he would be too tired as he has to study and cook at home every day, and wouldn't let him clean the house, Zhou Ci would have washed even Song Yu's underwear, bed sheets and quilt covers for her.
Song Yu originally hired a housekeeper who came to clean the house for Song Yu every day and bought groceries and cooked for Song Yu when Song Yu needed it. Since Zhou Ci came, Zhou Ci didn't like the presence of a third person in the house, so he did most of the nanny's work. The housekeeper became an hourly worker and only came to clean the house at a fixed time every day.
Moreover, Song Yu didn't know whether Zhou Ci had secretly signed up for a cooking class. The dishes he cooked were even more delicious than those cooked by the nanny. He would also put a lot of thought into making the dishes into various beautiful shapes, which captured Song Yu's eyes visually. The dishes were different every day, so Song Yu felt a sense of freshness when eating.
Song Yu used to only eat at home occasionally. Most of the time, he would either eat in the school cafeteria or go out to a restaurant with classmates. But because Zhou Ci's cooking was so delicious, Song Yu spent less time eating out. Unless he was too busy to go home, Song Yu would go home to eat the food Zhou Ci cooked.
One is willing to put in the effort to cook, the other is willing to eat with support. After having enough soup and rice, the two will go downstairs for a walk to digest the meal. After coming back, they will both sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to read books and materials. You don’t bother me, and I don’t bother you, and we enjoy the quietness.
After studying, except when Song Yu wants to sleep, Zhou Ci will accompany Song Yu no matter what she wants to do. However, most of the time, Song Yu is doing things that interest her, and Zhou Ci stays by her side all the time, holding the mobile phone in his hand and continuing to read the information, quietly, and responding when Song Yu needs a response.
Song Yu once joked with Zhou Ci, "Little friend, you're so kind. With you around, I don't have to worry about anything. You've made me so picky. What will I do if you're not around anymore? I can't eat or sleep well. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm getting a bad deal as your future wife."
What did Zhou Ci say at that time?
He said, "Sister, then we will never separate. You won't marry, and I won't marry. We will be together for the rest of our lives."
Song Yu found it very funny and laughed out loud: "How can a sister and brother live together forever without getting married? Little boy, are you stupid?"
Zhou Ci whispered, "I'm not stupid. I just want to live with my sister in this life."
His voice was too soft, as if he was holding the words in his mouth, so Song Yu couldn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
Zhou Ci looked up, cautiousness hidden in his eyes: "If my sister gets a boyfriend in the future, will she chase me away?"
Song Yu said with a smile: "I have a boyfriend now, did I chase you away?"
Zhou Ci asked, "Sister, are you talking about Gao Chi?"
Song Yu nodded, "Yes, it's Gao Chi."
"Gao Chi is too stupid, he is not worthy of my sister." Zhou Ci disagreed.
Song Yu said: "Gao Chi is not stupid, he is just too good, so everyone else looks stupid to him."
Zhou Ci frowned slightly and asked, "Sister, do you like Gao Chi?"
Song Yu has gradually begun to discuss her relationship issues with Zhou Ci, so she didn't hide anything. "It's not a matter of liking or disliking him, but at least I don't dislike him. Gao Chi likes me and cares about me very much. Anyway, I don't have a suitable partner right now, so I can't be alone forever. It's okay to give it a try with him."
Zhou Ci moved his lips, but a few words were stuck in his throat, and in the end he said nothing.
Don't be impatient, wait a little longer.

Song Yu went back to his parents' house much less frequently, and even spent most of his weekends with Zhou Ci.
There was no other way around it. Zhou Ci had nowhere else to go except Song Yu's. When school was on vacation, he would either go to Zhou's house to visit his grandparents or stay at Song Yu's place.
It was impossible for Zhou Ci to visit his grandparents every week, so most of the time, he stayed with Song Yu.
This would have been nothing, Zhou Ci could stay wherever he wanted and it wouldn't affect Song Yu's travel. But who would have thought that Zhou Ci, such a tall guy, would be afraid of the dark and being alone at night.
If Song Yu went out with classmates and friends in the evening and came back late, Zhou Ci would call Song Yu every half an hour to ask her when she would be back.
At first, Song Yu didn't realize anything was wrong. She just thought Zhou Ci was very conscious of being a younger brother, and was worried about his sister's safety and cared about her.
Until one day, Zhou Ci called Song Yu as usual and asked her when she would be home. Song Yu had originally told Zhou Ci that she would not be back that night, but something changed suddenly. She was afraid that Zhou Ci had already fallen asleep, so she did not say hello to Zhou Ci in advance and drove directly home.
It was already two or three in the middle of the night. Song Yu was afraid of waking Zhou Ci up, so he opened and closed the door very carefully.
But when Song Yu walked out of the entrance hall, she found that the lights were on all the way from the living room to the kitchen. Except for her room door, the doors of every guest bedroom were wide open and the lights were on. Zhou Ci's bed was messy, but there was no one on the bed.
Song Yu searched the house for a while before he found Zhou Ci hiding in the curtains next to the sofa in the corner of the living room window. He was wearing thin pajamas, sitting on the floor barefoot, with his hands on his knees and his head buried in his knees, shivering.
Song Yu's heart suddenly ached. She spoke softly, as if she was afraid of scaring him, "Little boy? What are you doing hiding here?"
When Zhou Ci heard Song Yu's voice, his trembling body paused slightly. He turned around abruptly and hugged Song Yu's legs tightly, sobbing in grievance: "Sister, I'm afraid..."
He didn't say what he was afraid of, but how could Song Yu not understand? She was heartbroken. She squatted down, knelt on the floor, hugged Zhou Ci into her arms and gently patted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Sister is back. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I was so careless. We've lived together for so long, and I didn't know you were afraid of the dark."
Zhou Ci's words were nasal, "Don't blame my sister, it's my own fault for being so useless."
Since then, Song Yu rarely came home late. She basically went home with Zhou Ci and spent most of the night with Zhou Ci at home.
There were gatherings that she really couldn't refuse, such as when Xia Zhi asked her out, and occasionally Gao Chi would also ask her out. Even if Song Yu went, she would come back very early. No matter how Xia Zhi and Gao Chi tried to stop her from leaving, she would rush back as soon as possible to accompany Zhou Ci.
Most of Song Yu's time was monopolized by Zhou Ci. Not only Xia Zhi was dissatisfied, but Gao Chi was also very dissatisfied.
Gao Chi once even said, "Song Yu, you're so naive. I was really worried that you'd been cheated by your brother, yet you were so happy to help him count his money. A man this big is afraid of the dark and being alone at home? He's kidding, right? You're the only one who believes his nonsense. If he's so afraid, then how did he survive all those years when he didn't live with you? He had no mother or father and no one loved him, living alone outside? Why is he so afraid of everything after living with you?"
Song Yu glared at Gao Chi, fiercely saying, "Don't you dare say that about him? He's a very well-behaved kid. From childhood to adulthood, he's never lied to me." She paused and began to make excuses for Zhou Ci: "Before he moved in with me, although he also lived outside, he had classmates and friends. His senior brothers who practiced Muay Thai would often come over to live with him."
"You're the only one who believes this?" Gao Chi wanted to hit Song Yu's stupid head with a hammer to wake him up. "I saw him go into the rumored turbulent woods behind our school alone late at night. Do you think someone who's afraid of the dark and being alone at night would have the courage to do that?"
"You must have mistaken the person?" Song Yu didn't believe Gao Chi's words at all.
"You don't believe me?" Gao Chi felt insulted. "Song Yu, after all, I'm your boyfriend for experience, and you don't believe me but your fake brother?"
"Of course I believe him." Song Yu replied in a matter-of-fact tone. Seeing Gao Chi's angry face turn blue, Song Yu reflected on his behavior and realized that he had gone too far. He added: "I didn't say I didn't believe you. Maybe you saw it wrong? The child comes home early every day."
Gao Chi was still upset and said angrily, "I'm not blind, is it possible that I can't recognize him?"
Song Yu was also unhappy, and his tone was not very good: "Gao Chi, what do you want to say? You have no chance of provoking the relationship between me and the little kid."
"Song Yu, is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?" Gao Chi was about to explode with anger. "I'm just worried that you'll be deceived, okay?"
This didn't convince Song Yu at all. "You lied to me, even a child wouldn't lie to me. What's his intention? He has no motive at all, right?"
"How would I know what he's up to? Maybe he's targeting you?" Gao Chi said casually.
"He's still a minor, Gao Chi, can you please stop thinking of him as such a dirty person? Do you think everyone else is like you, starting early love in elementary school, holding a girl's hand at the age of twelve or thirteen? Putting your arm around a girl's waist at the age of thirteen or fourteen, ten..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Gao Chi immediately admitted defeat and begged for mercy. There was no point in chatting for the rest of the day. "Song Yu, how dare you bring up old things like that? I regret confessing all this to you before. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel so inferior to you now."
Song Yu didn't want to expose Gao Chi's shortcomings. After all, Gao Chi had told her these things honestly out of sincerity. But Song Yu couldn't stand Gao Chi always slandering Zhou Ci in front of her. "I can not bring up these things, but you are not allowed to say that the child is not good or wrong in front of me in the future."
"No, Song Yu, I said your brother is not a good person, not for any other reason, I just think there is something wrong with him." Song Yu didn't believe Gao Chi. Gao Chi was so angry that he almost went crazy, but there was nothing he could do. He liked this woman after all, so he could only explain to her properly.
Gao Chi took several deep breaths to calm himself down before speaking calmly, "Song Yu, I'm really doing this for your own good. Think about it carefully. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be more careful."
Song Yu just had an attitude of not wanting to listen and was like a turtle chanting scriptures.
Gao Chi didn't know what to say. After all, he had a deep understanding of himself. He was currently just an experiential boyfriend. It was still very difficult for him to exercise the rights of a real boyfriend and squeeze Zhou Ci away from Song Yu. If he accidentally made Song Yu angry because of Zhou Ci's matter, Song Yu would no longer let him be an experiential boyfriend. At that time, it would really be a loss.
A man should be patient when he needs to be. Zhou Ci is nothing but a fake brother. Once he gets to the top, he can settle the score with him later.
