Chapter 101 New Home (Heartwarming Daily Life)
Wu Ming was certain that his older brother wouldn't help him.
He had already begun to fantasize about a sister-in-law whose name and appearance he did not know, who was as beautiful as an angel, as if a goddess had descended to earth, and who had bewitched his brother so much that he was walking in a daze.
The elder sister-in-law could persuade the elder brother and also help her persuade Jiang Xia.
Given my brother's terrible personality, anyone who has a bad personality would probably never be able to date him.
Wu Zhou didn't want to look at him anymore and went outside to make a phone call.
It's obvious she's going to find a partner to talk to.
Wu Ming slipped out of bed, intending to eavesdrop and catch his sister-in-law in the act.
Assistant Xie and another personal assistant remained in the room.
Assistant Xie stepped forward and moved to the doorway, blocking the way completely: "Second Young Master, you are a patient."
As soon as Assistant Xie opened his mouth, Wu Ming grabbed his hand as if grasping at a straw, and said, "Who is my older brother dating? Let me meet my future sister-in-law in advance and ask her to put in a good word for me."
Wu Ming knew Wu Zhou very well, so he was certain that the woman his elder brother had chosen must have an excellent personality and would definitely agree to help him.
Wu Ming's eyes darted around, and Assistant Xie knew he was up to no good.
He had a good relationship with Jiang Xia, and he couldn't bear to see Jiang Xia get entangled with this scoundrel surnamed Wu.
The second young master is now like a jumping dog, baring its teeth and barking incessantly.
Now he started sobbing again, probably because he was too dizzy. He lay face down on the bed, his shoulders trembling: "Jiang Xia doesn't want me anymore! He doesn't want me anymore! No matter how much I begged him, he wouldn't listen. Are he dating Zhan Lintian?!"
Assistant Xie was genuinely unaware of this, only knowing that Jiang Xia was not in Mengcheng during this period, and that he himself had been temporarily reassigned to a different job due to Wu Ming's departure abroad.
As for now... Assistant Xie looked to the side, where Wu Ming's current personal assistant was standing silently in a corner.
Wu Ming is causing trouble, and this inexperienced personal assistant simply can't handle it.
He had just flown back from abroad and was still jet-lagged, looking at Wu Ming's antics with a look of utter despair.
Assistant Xie came to take charge, acting as a pillar of stability.
The second young master was making a huge fuss. Assistant Xie looked at the personal assistant, and the newcomer also looked at Assistant Xie with a helpless expression.
He didn't speak, but his eyes were full of pleading.
Hopefully, the senior can turn the tide.
Assistant Xie pushed up his glasses. He had originally planned to take the day off to stay home with his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, a phone call brought him back to work.
Assistant Xie's eyes lacked luster, and he had large bags under his eyes and obvious dark circles.
He weakly advised, "Jiang Xia is in a relationship, so what? You can just let him keep stringing you along until he gets tired of you and then he'll come and coax you a bit."
Finally, he added, "It's normal for young people to like to have fun."
Wu Ming suddenly looked up, wondering what kind of nonsense this was.
The personal assistant standing to the side looked at Assistant Xie with admiration. "Senior, are you really that brave?"
Before Wu Ming could unleash his anger and rant, Assistant Xie quickly added the last sentence: "You were the one who said that to Jiang Xia before."
Wu Ming broke down.
Jiang Xia must have been corrupted by Zhan Lintian.
Wu Ming pointed at Assistant Xie and said, "I'm going to fire you!"
Assistant Xie said, "It can be processed through the procedure, there's n+2 and..."
At this moment, the noise in the room was muffled and indistinct, but it was still quite loud.
Wu Zhou texted Jiang Xia after he had walked away: "The snowman is cute, just as pretty as you."
He saw Zhan Lintian's WeChat Moments.
In the picture, Wenwen is wearing a princess dress and squatting on the ground shoveling snow, while Jiang Xia is supporting himself on his knees with his hands, bending over and looking at the child with gentle eyes.
Three snowmen were lined up in front of the two people.
Zhan Lintian captioned the photo: A family of three snowmen.
Wu Zhou scoffed and edited a second message: "Don't catch a cold."
Jiang Xia took out his phone and looked at the message. He was puzzled and wondered how Wu Zhou knew that he had built a snowman. Then he turned around and understood.
Mr. Zhan is busy editing his second post on WeChat Moments.
He cropped out the small snowman representing Wenwen, leaving only the two larger snowmen, and wrote: "Wenwen made these for us, they look exactly alike, what do you call a couple looking alike?"
He was afraid that others wouldn't notice he was dating.
Jiang Xia coughed awkwardly and typed back, "Thank you, it's not very cold."
Wu Zhou, whose real intention was not in the wine, asked, "Get some rest. Is your back still sore?"
Last night, he didn't dare to do anything too reckless. He just lifted one of Jiang Xia's legs and slowly applied the medicine.
At first, Jiang Xia was at a loss and kept scratching himself, as if having someone to lean on would make him less nervous, shy and afraid.
Later, Wu Zhou maliciously switched to lying on his side, leaving Jiang Xia to hold onto the bedsheets.
The scene was breathtaking, and the river gorge seemed to be breathing softly, as if it couldn't contain its excitement.
Jiang Xia's voice is very pleasant; it is not deep but very clear. When he is lost in thought, he always likes to lower his eyes and half-close his thick eyelashes, looking down at a slightly lower position.
He would instinctively pant as Wu Zhou moved, the final breaths captivating.
Several times, Wu Zhou tried to cover his mouth and tell him to stop panting.
Jiang Xia blushed furiously and quickly typed, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Wu Zhou said, "I'll pick you up tonight and take you to your new home."
Jiang Xia's belongings were all moved into Wu Zhou's large apartment in Mengcheng, which was very close to his company, just one subway stop away.
But Jiang Xia hadn't gone to that place yet, and Wu Zhou hadn't told him the room password.
Mr. Wu did it on purpose, so that he would have a reason to go with them tonight and then stay overnight.
Jiang Xia's fingertips hovered over the keyboard for a while as she pondered how to answer. Wu Zhou added, "Our new home, Jiang Xia, is our home. You can decorate it however you like, put clothes and shoes in the room, and you can also put our photos in a prominent place in the living room, until the home is filled with a warm atmosphere."
Wu Zhou continued, "Jiang Xia, you are not without a home in Mengcheng."
Since he had no home, he created one for Jiangxia.
Wu Zhou: "Don't push away the happiness that is within your reach."
Jiang Xia's heart pounded as he read the message. Holding his phone, he stood there dumbfounded for a long time, unsure how to respond.
Wu Zhou's last words struck him to the core.
Having experienced happiness, it seems impossible for me to endure spending the rest of my life hiding outside of Montreal, clinging to memories.
That's so pitiful.
Jiang Xia's simple thoughts all made him feel sorry for his future self.
At this moment, Zhan Lintian finally waited until Jiang Xia put away his phone before eagerly coming over and sitting on the wrought iron swing he had made for Wenwen.
This swing was originally located under the wisteria trellis in the outdoor garden.
But after winter arrived, Wenwen still went out to swing every day. The last time she caught a cold and had a fever, it was after she played on the swing for half an hour.
Zhan Lintian moved the swing indoors.
Now it has come in handy.
The swing swayed gently. Zhan Lintian held Jiang Xia's fingertips, looked into Jiang Xia's eyes, and noticed that the corners of Jiang Xia's mouth were slightly red and swollen, suggesting that it might be in some pain.
He asked, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "It's alright."
Fortunately, it only hurt a little, but he could bear it.
Zhan Lintian reflected on himself: "Then I'll be gentler next time."
Jiang Xia said, "Aren't you afraid others will find out?"
Zhan Lintian was taken aback, then asked with a mix of excitement and slyness, "I'm not afraid. Do you mean I can go public with our relationship?"
“I can send messages to every friend in my contacts, and even tell my parents and sister to come back and give you big red envelopes.”
"At the cultural square by the river, I'm going to put on a three-day fireworks display and a building light show for New Year's Day. I'll also give each of your close friends or colleagues a big red envelope as a thank you for taking care of you..."
Jiang Xia covered his mouth, lowered her voice, and her eyes were red.
The two remained silent. Zhan Lintian stared at him, and Jiang Xia, understanding Zhan Lintian's meaning, chuckled softly and complained in a low voice, "Stop teasing me."
Zhan Lintian kissed his palm and said in a muffled voice, "Jiang Xia, I want to kiss you every time you smile, so, about Wu Ming..."
Jiang Xia replied, "He and I will have no other relationship."
Meanwhile, Xie, the assistant at the hospital, calmly pushed up his glasses and looked at the second young master with a smile.
At that moment, after Wu Zhou and Jiang Xia finished sending the message, they entered the ward and happened to hear Wu Ming's outburst.
What right does he have to dismiss Assistant Xie?
Assistant Xie is at least a friend of Jiang Xia.
The two had a good relationship, which Wu Zhou had heard about.
Wu Zhou said, "You'll have to pay for your own hospital stay. All your cards are suspended. I want to see how many times your cronies can lend you money."
He was only being given some face because of the Wu family's reputation.
Wu Zhou glanced at his watch and said, "You can still talk, so it seems your mind is fine. Let's get you discharged. I think it's a waste of resources for you to stay in the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming trembled slightly and whispered, "My head still hurts a lot. Could you ask Jiang Xia to come over?"
Wu Zhou said, "If you're sick, go take your medicine. Jiang Xia is disgusted just looking at you."
Wu Ming got off the bed, wanting to grab his older brother's collar, sobbing with snot and tears streaming down his face: "Brother, I really know I was wrong. I always thought that men couldn't be together, and that being together would lead to a lot of strange looks from others, so I kept my distance from Jiang Xia."
“I was too young back then, and I was timid and hesitant in my actions…” Wu Ming stammered, trying to find reasons for his past.
However, after thinking it over, he couldn't find a suitable and reasonable reason, and could only blame it on his youth and being blinded by the allure of the world.
Wu Zhou interrupted him, not giving him any leeway: "You're twenty-seven, not young anymore."
"But I didn't see you being timid or hesitant. I noticed you were quite quick when you took off your clothes and went to bed with someone else?"
Upon hearing this, the assistant almost couldn't hold back and silently gave Mr. Wu a thumbs up in his heart.
As expected of Mr. Wu, his words hit the nail on the head.
Wu Ming's face flushed red with suppressed anger, and he didn't dare to really argue with his older brother. He said again, "Brother, I really can't live without Jiang Xia. I've really figured it out now."
Wu Zhou sneered: "Then your IQ is pretty low. You've known Jiang Xia for fourteen years and it's only now that you've figured it out. How about this, you can wait another fourteen years to confess to Jiang Xia."
Wu Ming broke down: "No, if that happens, Jiang Xia might already have someone else. What am I going to do then?"
Wu Zhou pulled his hand away: "Give him a big red envelope."
He emphasized the last two words: "personally".
Just like last time, Jiang Xia appeared at Wu Ming's engagement party and turned the tables on Wu Ming.
Wu Zhou waved his hand casually, and Assistant Xie quickly went out and immediately arranged for medical staff to give Wu Ming an injection.
He just claimed to have a severe headache. The doctor initially prescribed two sedative injections, and he just finished the first one. The next injection was supposed to be given tonight depending on the situation.
Now, Assistant Xie said, "Quickly, call immediately."
After the injection, Wu Ming fainted... He didn't wake up until late at night.
He limped out of bed, checked his phone, and discovered that his older brother had left but hadn't gone home or to the company.
Wu Zhou owns four properties in Mengcheng.
Wu Ming wasn't sure if his older brother was in a relationship and would be living in one of the apartments, but he was stubborn and wanted to give it a try.
He was truly at his wit's end.
My older brother said he'd break his own legs if they bothered Jiangxia again, and that statement is 90% likely to be true.
So he had to ask his sister-in-law for help.
At this time, Wu Zhou drove to the Zhan family's house.
This morning, he took precautions and had Jiang Xia's suitcase and the box containing his work documents delivered to his new home.
Jiang Xia had originally planned to review some documents tonight to prepare for the upcoming work, so he had no choice but to get on the bus.
But Zhan Lintian bent down and climbed into the car.
Jiang Xia was brought to the "new home" by Wu Zhou, who was half-pushing him. His original residence had long been emptied.
The apartment Wu Zhou prepared was 200 square meters, a home-style apartment. It wasn't very big, but it was exactly the size Jiang Xia liked.
When people are at a loss, they always find something to do. For example, Jiang Xia didn't know how to deal with the two of them, so he silently packed his luggage.
Zhan Lintian and Wu Zhou followed behind Jiang Xia, walking back and forth in the room together.
Enjoying it.
A note from the author:
Clothes are hung in the river gorge.
General Manager Zhan and General Manager Wu: Yes.
Jiangxia placed a toothbrush.
Mr. Zhan, Mr. Wu: Yes.
Jiang Xia went to the restroom to change clothes.
Jiang Xia: We can't follow that.
*
Jiangxia's sarcastic and unsettling manner is not on the same level as General Manager Wu's.
When Jiang Xia mocked Wu Ming, Wu Ming thought he was being praised.
When Wu Zhou mocked Wu Ming, Wu Ming was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Wu Zhou: Honey, why are you wasting your breath talking to Wu Ming? He's just taking advantage of you being too respectable!
If you survive jumping off a building, it's a blessing from your ancestors. (You can jump.)
Jiangxia didn't abandon you. (You're not even Jiangxia's dog.)
Grandpa is old and senile; could you pretend to be his son? (You look exactly like Wu Chenglian.)

I suddenly remembered the "what if" scenario I had envisioned at the beginning.
If Wu Zhou and Zhan Lintian went to study in Duliang, or if Jiang Xia came to study in Mengcheng and met Wu Zhou and Zhan Lintian, and became friends with them.
It's estimated that Jiang Xia, still quite young, only just began to show signs of maturity in his eyes and brows. But once he entered university...

There's not much of the main text left, but I'll definitely make the most of it in the main text section.
The rabbit sometimes eats the earlier chapters while enjoying the later main course, combined with the feast in the draft box, and is completely blissfully dazed.
