Chapter 225 Extra 2
The next morning, as soon as Han Zhong came downstairs, he met Jiang Yue's cold gaze. He paused, and then walked to the dining table as if nothing had happened.
"morning."
"Where is my villa?"
"It's still under renovation. Is it uncomfortable to live here?"
"Not as comfortable as you."
“…”
Han looked up and said calmly, "Did I bother you last night?"
Jiang Yue glanced at him sideways, "I suddenly miss my disciple. Why don't I reminisce about the past with him tonight?"
Han Zhong paused and looked at the child across the long table. Their eyes met and sparks of anger flashed.
This is what Jiang Wu saw when he came down. He looked at the two of them in confusion, "What happened?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to—"
“He wants to go to school.”
"..." Jiang Wu looked at Jiang Yue in surprise, "You want to go to school?"
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes and stared at Han Zhong, "Do you want to die?"
Han Zhong smiled and said, "According to the Compulsory Education Act, you are in the last grade. Although I am only your adoptive father, I cannot treat you badly. I will send you to school in the city tomorrow."
Jiang Yue looked at him quietly, knowing that this man was threatening him.
No matter how dumb Jiang Wu was, he knew that his master didn't want to go at all. It was obvious that the two of them were arguing over something, so he looked at his master and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
It would have been fine if he didn't ask. As soon as he asked, Jiang Yue looked at him and said, "Go to bed early in the future."
Han Zhong: "Let's send him to school."
Jiang Wu: “…”
Due to the popularity brought by "Pray to Heaven" and "Exploration", He Wenhua also urged Jiang Wu to go back and reshoot some shots of "Asking about Life", because he had just rested for a few days. Unexpectedly, the two of them had a quarrel over breakfast.
He really didn't know how to deal with this weird relationship, so he just focused on eating.
Since Jiang Yue firmly disagreed, the matter of going to school was put on hold for the time being. Jiang Wu also had no time to take care of Jiang Yue's affairs because he was busy again during this period. The popularity brought by "Pray to Heaven" and "Exploration" made him come into the public eye again. He Wenhua also urged Jiang Wu to go back and reshoot the scenes of "Asking about Life" and to be one of the protagonists to cooperate with the TV series promotion.
At first Jiang Wu was surprised that He Wenhua had kept the role for him. Later he found out that Han Zhong had invested money through Galaxy Entertainment and kept the role for him.
As for the reason, Han's explanation was simple. He said that the general looked very much like Jiang Wu when he was in the Northern Frontier, and it would be a pity if he was gone.
Jiang Wu was silent after listening to this, and then asked a question that he had ignored for a long time: When did someone who was Yan Zhong back then start to like him?
This question is not unfamiliar to Han Zhong. He was thinking about it when he was Yan Zhong. Later, when he became Han Zhong and lost his memory, he also thought about this question. But after thinking about it, he could only come up with one answer: he had some unspeakable feelings when he saw Jiang Wu for the first time. The daily life and death together made this feeling stronger and gave it a different kind of heavy meaning. It evolved from a natural heartbeat into a love that he was willing to give everything for.
Then Han asked Jiang Wu the same question again: When did Jiang Wu fall in love with him?
Jiang Wu thought for a moment and returned an accurate time: spring of the nineteenth year of Yuanshen.
Han Zhong was a little surprised that the time was so specific, so he thought carefully about what happened that year. The war in Northern Frontier had just subsided that year, and he had just returned in early spring. He was conferred the title of prince for his outstanding military exploits. After receiving the imperial edict, he went home to rest for seven days. Jiang Wu was probably too pent up in Northern Frontier, and he was very excited during those seven days. He dragged him around the capital every day to find all kinds of food and fun. There was no romantic and ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, so how could he be moved?
"One night when I came back from shopping, you were resting on a recliner under the sycamore tree in the palace courtyard."
"Um?"
“I watched it for a long time.”
Han Zhong was stunned. "Look at me?"
Jiang Wu nodded, his expression was calm but his eyes were bright, "The weather was very good that day and the sunset was beautiful, but I think you are much more beautiful than the sunset."
Han Zhong is not someone who cares much about appearance, but he likes Jiang Wuxiu's good looks and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me?"
"I didn't know what I wanted to do at the time, but now I know." Jiang Wu kissed the corner of his lips and said seriously, "I want to do this."
Han Zhong's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out. He was pushed down and kissed on the spot. Unfortunately, Aunt Bai saw it all. On the third night, Han Zhong received a call from his father. His tone was very serious and the content was very simple, with only one request: It's your mother's birthday next week, so bring her home for dinner.
Han Zhong naturally didn't think that this was just a simple meal. His father probably wanted to make his and Jiang Wu's relationship clear in front of the Han family and even the entire Linhai upper class society. This was already a big concession for his father, but considering Jiang Wu's career in the entertainment industry, Han Zhong specially asked for Jiang Wu's opinion.
Jiang Wu didn't understand what was wrong with it. Acting was just a profession and he didn't think it would affect his personal life, so he agreed directly.
Zhang Xiaoyu was shocked when he learned about this. "Do you know that there are people on the Internet who are specifically smearing you for riding on the popularity of the rich? Do you believe that you appeared at Ms. Li Mu's birthday party in the last second, and the next second, it will be reported that you are being kept by a rich businessman!"
Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, "Can't you support her?"
Zhang Xiaoyu's heart choked and he almost vomited "Fuck it". He actually forgot about his brother Jiang's strong mentality. Let alone the comments of outsiders, his brother Jiang didn't even care about people.
Moreover, as for the matter of fostering, as far as he knew, his brother Jiang was now eating, living and employing other people's money, and even the adopted son also ate, lived and employed other people's money. The word "fostering" was no longer enough to cover it all.
His eyes fell on the iris-shaped black jade ring on Jiang Wu's ring finger, and he thought, forget it, as long as Brother Jiang is happy.
The matter of attending the birthday party was settled, but the birthday gift had to be prepared carefully. After all, she was Han Zhong's mother. Jiang Wu thought about it seriously for two days and then decided to give Ms. Li Mu a breathing technique.
“…”
Han Zhong looked at the mysterious sentences he memorized, such as "five hearts facing the sky", "qi sinking into the dantian", and "clear mind and guarding nature", and suspected that his mother would ask him to take Jiang Wu to check his brain on the spot.
In the end, he used the excuse that his mother was not well-educated and did not like to study.
Jiang Wu didn't think much about it. It was a good thing. Han Zhong's mother didn't like studying just like him, so she probably wouldn't die too soon.
"Besides not liking studying, what else does your mother like?"
While the two were talking, Jiang Yue came back with leisurely steps, followed by four bodyguards and her body full of shopping bags.
Han Zhong narrowed his eyes, curled his lips, and replied, "I like to tease children."
Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, "You want to send my master over there?"
Han Zhong said softly, "What master? He is your son and my mother's grandson."
Jiang Wu felt that his master might not really want to be a grandson.
Sure enough, when Jiang Yue heard that he was going to be someone's grandson, he asked directly, "Do you want to die?"
Han raised his eyebrows and said, "I've used my supplementary card a lot recently. My mother asked me where all the money went."
Jiang Yue was silent.
Where did the money go? Of course it went to his spacious cloakroom. There are hundreds of shopping malls in Linhai, and he had only visited thirty-one of them. It was still very early. If Han Zhong took away his secondary card, he would not be able to pay the balance for the coat he ordered today.
This damn secular world, only a thousand years have passed and there are already so many new styles of clothing designed, and he likes them all!
"...I won't call them." This was his final line.
Han Zhong agreed.
