Chapter 377 (First Update)
Sanqiqi:
True to his word, Mu Shaoyan picked up Ye Qingxi the day after he moved in and had her face and fingerprints recorded.
He even took Ye Qingxi to his room.
This room was prepared by Duan Yi.
After her parents divorced, Duan Yi severed ties with her father's relatives.
My mother doesn't have any close friends or family.
Therefore, he didn't have any close or familiar juniors.
If I were to be honest, the person I'm closest to is Ye Qingxi.
In addition, although Mu Shaoyan was nominally Ye Qingxi's uncle, he always doted on him as his own son. Therefore, when Duan Yi was choosing a room for Ye Qingxi, he did not choose the so-called guest room.
He chose a room with a layout similar to the master bedroom.
The room was large, with its own bathroom, walk-in closet, and small study. Duan Yi had already decorated and designed it, and even added clothes for each season and pajamas to the walk-in closet so that it would be convenient for him to stay overnight when he came to visit.
Ye Qingxi was deeply moved as she watched.
Then he saw the photo wall in the room.
Ye Qingxi walked over curiously and saw photos of various sizes pasted on the green wall.
"That way, anyone who comes will know this is your room," Mu Shaoyan said with a smile, putting his arm around him.
He moved closer to the photo wall and looked at the photos on the wall with Ye Qingxi.
These photos include pictures of Ye Qingxi as a child, as he is now, as he was five or six years old, and as he was in junior high or high school. In every photo, Ye Qingxi is smiling happily, and beside him, Mu Shaoyan exudes youthful energy.
Ye Qingxi looked at the photos quietly, at him, Mu Shaoyan, and Duan Yi who occasionally appeared in the photos.
Every single one is a group photo, every single one records a joyful moment they once shared.
When Mu Shaoyan's grades improved, when he celebrated his birthday, when they opened a steamed bun shop together, when they went out to play together, and when they founded their game company together.
Each picture I look at feels like flipping through the pages of time.
In that instant, Ye Qingxi felt that he was not like a guest of this house, but rather like a child of this house.
The child wasn't home, so there was no one in the house, but traces of him were everywhere.
He couldn't help but look at Mu Shaoyan, then at Duan Yi, his heart filled with warmth and tenderness.
Mu Shaoyan rubbed his head and ate dinner with him.
After dinner, Mu Shaoyan escorted Ye Qingxi home.
It takes less than ten minutes to get from his villa to the Mu family villa.
After walking for a while, Ye Qingxi felt that she had been sad for nothing last night.
Fortunately, last night, whenever he thought about Mu Shaoyan getting married and moving out, and no longer living at home, he couldn't help but tear up.
And what was the result?
For such a short distance, he doesn't even need to take a car; he can easily travel back and forth on foot.
Fortunately, he lives so close by.
Otherwise, he would really be upset.
"Brother Duan Yi is so kind," Ye Qingxi said happily, "He actually chose this place for our wedding."
Mu Shaoyan also thought so.
"Where's Aunt Duan?" Ye Qingxi suddenly asked, "Doesn't she live here?"
“She doesn’t live here,” Mu Shaoyan said.
Mu Shaoyan even asked Duan Yi about this.
He understood that Duan Yi had relied on her mother since childhood and had been raised by her mother alone, so he did not object to them living together after marriage.
"Anyway, the house is big enough, so let your mom live with us. Otherwise, she'll be lonely all by herself."
Duan Yi did not completely listen to him in this matter.
He was well aware of Mu Shaoyan's naiveté in certain matters. For example, right now, he had no idea that he and his mother were not biological mother and son, and had different lifestyles and consumption habits since childhood. What if a conflict arose?
So Duan Yi first asked his mother if she wanted to live with him.
His plan was that if his mother wanted, he would buy another villa near theirs, but he absolutely could not let his mother and Mu Shaoyan live under the same roof.
However, Duan's mother refused without hesitation.
She not only didn't want to live with them, but she also didn't want to live so far away.
"I'm used to living here, and all the people I know are here. If I move, won't I have no one to talk to?"
"Besides, this place is close to our main store, which makes it convenient for me to go there."
"Besides, you and Shao Yan are newlyweds, wouldn't it be awkward for me to go over?"
In recent years, Mu Shaoyan and Duan Yi have clearly focused their attention on their game company, so the steamed bun shop has been handed over to Duan's mother to manage.
She runs her own business, helps her former girlfriends, and with her son's successful career and stable relationship, she couldn't be more content.
Duan's mother spent the first half of her life living for Duan Yi, hoping that her son would be successful and have a bright future, and that she would not hold him back.
Now, I can finally do whatever I want.
Therefore, she doesn't feel that she should be tied to her son every moment.
Moreover, Duan Yi and Mu Shaoyan just got married, and she moved in right away. How could the young couple possibly have a good life?
Duan's mother had thought long ago that she would definitely not live with Duan Yi after he got married. Couples have their own way of living behind closed doors, and they can make up even if they fight in bed. But if a mother is in the middle, many things might become troublesome.
Her son had only ever loved one person in all these years, and it was rare for him to have such passionate feelings. Therefore, Duan's mother did not want her presence to affect their relationship.
"When I'm too old to walk anymore, I'll come over and you'll take good care of me," she joked.
Duan Yi smiled and replied, "Okay."
However, despite saying that, he was still thinking about buying a villa for his mother near their home so that she could come over whenever she missed him.
“But we haven’t found a suitable one yet,” Mu Shaoyan said. “Once we find one, we can buy one for your Aunt Duan.”
As Ye Qingxi listened, she thought that her brother Duan Yi was really quite capable.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have let his uncle live with his mother.
Even mothers and children argue and sometimes disagree, let alone other people's mothers and children.
Therefore, it's best not to live together if possible.
“That’s good too,” Ye Qingxi said. “Then Aunt Duan can reunite with Brother Duan Yi, oh no, my uncle, anytime.”
Mu Shaoyan: ...
Mu Shaoyan always felt that this title was a bit strange.
"Or you could just call him Auntie."
"Okay~" Ye Qingxi didn't argue with him.
Mu Shaoyan took Ye Qingxi home, and then picked up some desserts that Aunt Zhang had just made before leisurely heading to his own little home.
Mu Shaowu looked at his son, "Oh, happy again?"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
When was I unhappy?
Whose eyes were swollen this morning?
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi retorted angrily, "That's from watching a movie last night!"
"What movie is so touching? I'd like to recommend one."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi snorted.
After he finished humming, he curiously moved closer to Mu Shaowu and asked him, "Dad, when are you going to marry Uncle Feng?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu thought to himself, "You look like you'd cry for half a day if Mu Shaoyan moved out. If he marries Feng Que, whether he moves out with Ye Qingxi or he moves out on his own, Ye Qingxi will probably cry her heart out somewhere he can't see her."
Let's forget about it and wait until his son is older.
"No rush," Mu Shaowu said calmly. "Anyway, people in our line of work get married late."
"Isn't Great-Grandpa worried?"
Mu Shaowu laughed, "You visit him regularly during holidays and summer/winter breaks, it's practically like he's his great-grandson, what's he in such a hurry for?"
That's the truth.
As Ye Qingxi grew up, Old Master Feng also got older. Feng's parents were worried about his health, so they urged Feng Que to marry Mu Shaowu as soon as possible.
Feng Que then spoke frankly and openly about the matter with them.
Before Feng's parents could even comment, Old Master Feng spoke first, saying, "You really have a sharp eye; you've picked a top-notch one."
Grandpa Feng is also a grandfather, so he understands best the love and reluctance a grandfather has for his grandson.
Therefore, he could understand why Mu Shaowu didn't want Ye Qingxi and Mu Feng to separate prematurely because of his marriage.
He was even very supportive, thinking that Mu Shaowu was filial and loved his child.
That's right, it's a hardship for him and his grandson.
So Grandpa Feng said very magnanimously, "Don't worry, your grandpa is in good health. Another ten years is no problem. You can get married whenever you want, there's no rush."
He added, "Shaowu is also thinking about his father and child; you should understand him."
Feng Que was very understanding of him.
Moreover, he felt that they were doing quite well now.
Although they weren't married, it was no different from being married. Ye Qingxi would even visit his grandfather during holidays, just like any other great-grandfather or great-grandson.
Since Grandpa Feng had said so, Feng's parents naturally had nothing more to say.
However, Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu kept in mind Old Master Feng's age, so they would visit him from time to time to keep him company, so that the old man could enjoy the family happiness of being with his great-grandson in advance.
When Ye Qingxi heard Mu Shaowu say this, he felt that it made sense. If his father married Feng Que, he would probably do the same thing as now, spending time with Old Master Feng whenever he had time. Even if he didn't get married, he would still do the same.
Therefore, for Grandpa Feng, getting married or not doesn't seem to make much difference.
It's truly unexpected that among his father, aunt, and uncle, the first to get married was his uncle.
After attending Mu Shaoyan's wedding, Ye Qingxi returned to school.
Qin Cheng went to University A, so he moved back to Zhong Yan's dormitory.
Pei Liang and the others warmly welcomed him and treated him to a sumptuous lunch.
Afterwards, we went to school together in the afternoon and then went to our respective classrooms.
Ye Qingxi has gradually adapted to having Zhong Yan as her deskmate, and she has also adapted to not having Pei Liang and Kang Cong by her side during her time at school.
Zhong Yan adapted a little slower than him, but she gradually accepted it.
Pei Liang went to the science class, so the task of supervising Zhong Yan's studies fell to Ye Qingxi. Fortunately, Zhong Yan had always been very cooperative with him, so Ye Qingxi didn't have to put in much effort. He also managed to catch up on Chen Xiang's grades while he was at it.
Chen Xiang: ...
Mr. Chen: Thank you so much!
And so, the first semester of my second year of high school ended before I knew it, accompanied by the falling snow.
Ye Qingxi and Pei Liang each took first place in the arts and sciences respectively, and the two worked together towards the goal of becoming the top scorers in the college entrance examination. Although they were not by each other's side, they did not slack off until the end of their second year of high school.
