Chapter 85 Pretending to be a Green Tea Girl The person I like is named Jiang Yu, from beginning to end…
Jiang Yu was a little confused. For a moment, he didn't know if Shen Jiuxu was talking nonsense or if he was dreaming again. He seemed to have heard some unexpected remarks.
"you--"
"Everything I said is true."
As if he had anticipated what Jiang Yu was going to say, Shen Jiuxu continued, "I know what you're worried about, but I didn't expect that what I said this morning would have such a big impact on Brother Jiang Yu."
"Just a little while later, all my pillows were thrown out."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu felt guilty and dared not look at him. He wanted to explain, but he knew he had thrown the pillow himself, and he couldn't very well pin the blame on Zhou Yongyin.
"Brother Jiang Yu's actions are a bit too fast. Why didn't he even ask who I like? He has really misunderstood my feelings."
Shen Jiuxu feigned a heartbroken expression, took Jiang Yu's hand and placed it on his chest, letting him feel his own heart pounding wildly. The two equally intense and vigorous heartbeats merged through their palms.
Can you hear my heart?
Shen Jiuxu lowered his voice and said that he was wondering if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. It was beating too fast. From the moment he saw Jiang Yu, it was like a stream finding the momentum to rush forward, or like branches and leaves chasing the sunlight for vigorous growth in spring and summer.
Jiang Yu was his mastermind, causing a major upheaval in Shen Jiuxu's life, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years. This upheaval was immense, so immense that he finally saw the sun, moon, stars, and the lone wild goose amidst falling snow; so immense that he found another reason to live besides sunlight and rain; so immense that he transformed from a tree into a person who needed to bathe and adorn himself every day.
He tried every means to show off everything about himself to Jiang Yu, hoping that this deity would stop for him.
"The person I love is named Jiang Yu, and that has never changed from beginning to end." Shen Jiuxu whispered in his ear, his warm breath brushing against their necks, which were almost touching. "I wonder if he heard me?"
The room was dark, but enough for Shen Jiuxu to see every expression on Jiang Yu's face. His familiar eyes and lips seemed to tremble slightly, unlike usual. Was he nervous or afraid?
He probably isn't afraid of himself, so all that's left is nervousness.
Would Jiang Yu also get nervous because of his words? Shen Jiuxu thought that only he would be like that. He would carefully take every word Jiang Yu said to heart and would become restless because of his every anger and joy.
He desperately wanted everything from the person in front of him.
But Shen Jiuxu knew very well that Jiang Yu was different from himself. He was just a nameless wild tree that had sprung up from some unknown, godforsaken place in the mountains. If he hadn't met Jiang Yu, no one would have cared about his life or death, or whether he was well-fed, clothed, happy, or joyful.
Therefore, he was willing to risk everything just to gain Jiang Yu's favor. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He didn't know what he looked like in Jiang Yu's eyes, but Jiang Yu was always different from ordinary people in Shen Jiuxu's eyes.
As if he were protected by spiritual power, he could remember the person's appearance with just one glance and engrave it deep in his heart.
"Jiang Yu, do you know that Shen Jiuxu likes you very much? He wants to become your husband and live a life where he envy no one but you two."
"Um?"
Shen Jiuxu gave a soft hum, her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Yu, waiting for his answer. "Do you want to?"
he……
Jiang Yu sat on the corner of the bed, his back against the cold wall, his body trembling slightly from the ups and downs of his emotions. He was like a beautiful butterfly in the dark room, his two fluttering wings enveloping his body, while Shen Jiuxu was slowly breaking through his layers of disguise, just to find an answer from the depths of his heart.
Shen Jiuxu wasn't in a hurry, so he didn't urge him. He had already figured out the answer in his heart by looking at Jiang Yu's series of reactions, so he was confident in himself.
Jiang Yu will like him, and will only like him.
"I--"
"Jiang Yu, Jiu Xu, are you still not done? Dinner is ready, come out and eat." Zhou Yongyin's voice clearly reached their ears from outside, breaking the previously relaxed atmosphere in the room once again. Although Shen Jiu Xu was frustrated, compared to the past few days, there had been considerable progress.
"Let's go out first—"
Shen Jiuxu had already planned that Jiang Yu would hide for a few more days and he would come back again in a while, but Jiang Yu suddenly grabbed his hand. The chirping of birds and Zhou Yongyin's urging voices outside lingered in his ears, and he was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yu kissed him.
The warm, soft lips parted quickly after touching, but Shen Jiuxu already knew Jiang Yu's thoughts, and he completely revealed all his ideas to Shen Jiuxu.
I showed him the answer to the question by demonstrating it to him.
He liked Shen Jiuxu, and Jiang Yu liked Shen Jiuxu in return.
"Why did it take you so long to come out? The food is getting cold." Zhou Yongyin looked the two people who had finally appeared after much coaxing. Shen Jiuxu's face was red, and the wound on his hand was still exposed, showing that it had not been treated or bandaged.
Zhou Yongyin had no idea what the two of them were doing inside. After so long, they hadn't even treated their wounds. Were these two turtles?
"You two—"
He couldn't bear to look any longer, so he rushed into the house to get the medicine. Just as he was about to come out, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of the mess on the bed. The bedding was scattered on the floor, one pillow was on the edge of the bed, and the other had somehow ended up by the windowsill.
It was very hot inside. Zhou Yongyin felt parched and sweating even though he was only wearing an outer robe. He didn't stay long and went out. Shen Jiuxu and Jiang Yu were already sitting at the table, and the atmosphere between them seemed very strange.
As people grow up, they can't control so many things anymore.
"hand."
Shen Jiuxu obediently reached out and handed it to Zhou Yongyin, but his eyes looked pitifully at Jiang Yu. The other man's lips were a little swollen. Just thinking about how he felt earlier made him unable to calm down.
Jiang Yu bit his lip. Shen Jiuxu's aura seemed to still linger around him, so strong that it couldn't dissipate.
He could only pick up the teacup on the table, take a sip, and was then scolded by Zhou Yongyin, "We're about to eat, why are you drinking water? You've had enough water."
Jiang Yu: ...
He felt that today was a bit unlucky.
It's all Shen Jiuxu's fault. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have lost his composure like this. Jiang Yu stretched his foot down and stomped hard on Shen Jiuxu's foot. His face was contorted with rage, but he didn't make a sound.
Shen Jiuxu continued to stare at Jiang Yu, his gaze too obvious to fail, successfully attracting Zhou Yongyin's attention. He patted Jiang Yu on the shoulder, "What's wrong with you two? Not only is the room a mess, but you haven't even treated your wounds. This... if it gets any later..."
"It would have healed much sooner, Grandfather!"
Jiang Yu rolled his eyes. He had already used his spiritual power to give Shen Jiuxu a simple treatment, but for some reason, this guy had somehow created another wound that hadn't fully healed.
"Nonsense."
Zhou Yongyin bandaged his wound and then washed his hands. "Eat up. Xiaoxi is still here. You two have no manners at all."
Sitting across the table, Wen Zaixi sensed the completely different atmosphere between the two people and realized something. A bitter smile appeared on his lips. He had just said that he wanted Jiang Yu to teach him swordsmanship, but the man next to him had been making all sorts of noises unintentionally. He must have thought that Jiang Yu was trying to steal him away.
"The guests are here; it was Jiuxu's rudeness."
Shen Jiuxu seemed to notice Wen Zaixi only then, and nodded proactively, "Young Master Wen, please make yourself at home. My grandfather loves it when people come over. Brother Jiang Yu is quite busy, but if you want to learn swordsmanship, you can come to me. My swordsmanship was personally taught by Brother Jiang Yu."
He deliberately emphasized certain words and even very enthusiastically moved the plate closer to Wen Zaixi, saying, "Young Master Wen, please eat more. My grandfather's cooking is excellent. My brother Jiang Yu and I both really enjoy these dishes."
"Thanks."
Wen Zaixi knew what he meant, but didn't say anything. She just turned her gaze to Jiang Yu and said, "Brother Jiang, I still want to thank you for saving me and bringing me back. Otherwise, I would really be homeless tonight."
Shen Jiuxu's expression suddenly changed, but what had just happened gave him a lot of confidence. He slowly ate the dishes that Zhou Yongyin had specially put on his plate.
"Don't mention it, after all you paid."
Wen Zaixi's expression changed several times before she finally accepted the explanation. "Luckily, I have money, which allowed Brother Jiang to save me. Otherwise, I would have been captured and chopped into pieces."
“It could also be tens of yuan.” Jiang Yu said seriously. He had heard the footsteps clearly; there were at least twenty people.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiuxu chuckled, which made Jiang Yu next to him look puzzled. The evening breeze in Shen Wuke was cool, making people's hair fly and their clothes flutter. A strand of Shen Jiuxu's hair brushed against Jiang Yu's ear, making him ticklish.
"What are you laughing at?"
"We're laughing at how honest our brother Jiang Yu is."
Shen Jiuxu couldn't help but laugh whenever he thought of Jiang Yu's words, "After all, you paid for it." He had forgotten what Wen Zaixi's expression was at the time, but his own joy and excitement were still etched in Shen Jiuxu's heart.
"What did you remember?"
Jiang Yu didn't know what he was talking about, and Shen Jiuxu didn't want him to remember the name "Wen Zaixi" again. Back then, this guy looked mysterious, making Jiang Yu think he was some kind of plant spirit, but it turned out he was just a young master who ran away from home after arguing with his family, even more unreliable than Lian Quesheng.
"It's nothing, I just think tomorrow should be a sunny day, and there should be a lot of people coming."
Shen Jiuxu was in a great mood. The thought of being able to be openly together with Jiang Yu on the high platform in front of everyone tomorrow, knowing that everyone would know about their relationship, and that whenever Jiang Yu was mentioned, his name, Shen Jiuxu, would be included.
Jiang Yu didn't think that much about it. "By the way, I received a visiting card today. It says that an old friend from afar has not seen us for a long time and misses us very much."
Who is it?
As the two walked further and further apart, Jiang Yu's voice gradually became weaker over the distance, "I don't know, since we're old friends, we'll meet again someday."
