Can"t Find Shengsheng
Lu Jiangyu brought Huang Yu to pick out furniture as well as some decorations. Actually, choosing the furniture was just an aside to Lu Jiangyu and Huang Yu interacting with each other.
"Xiao Yu, is there something you like?" Right now, Lu Jiangyu was watching Huang Yu circle around each of the model beds.
"No! Actually, I"ve always wanted a bunk bed, but Dad said that using a bunk bed by myself was too wasteful! It"s not though! I can sleep one night on top and one night on bottom!" It seemed like he was tattling to Lu Jiangyu.
Lu Jiangyu smiled warmly. "We can buy one this time, how about that?"
"We can? Will it be too narrow? I don"t sleep still!"
"There should be one that matches those specifications!" Lu Jiangyu made an inquiry to one of the employees who brought them to the otherside.
After choosing one that they were satisfied, Lu Jiangyu took Huang Yu to look at some other things.
"Daddy, when are you going to marry Dad?" asked Huang Yu abruptly while stirring his iced coffee.
Faced with a sudden inquiry, Lu Jiangyu did not know how to answer. "That depends on your dad. Actually, it"s not important whether or not we get married."
"Is it because our country doesn"t allow it?"
"No," Lu Jiangyu smiled. "Because I know his feelings, so I have no regrets spending this life with him. Other things, they"re not important. However, if there was some official procedure like marriage, I think I would drag your dad to do it. After all, it would be universal certificate of confirmation."
"Isn"t it okay just to go overseas?"
"You see, before I never thought about that kind of thing, and now there are a lot more things to consider."
"Who said that? Dad?" Huang Yu was suspicious. Didn"t Daddy just say it depended on Dad? Dad shouldn"t still not have said anything?
"Let"s not talk about me. Xiao Yu, do you want to get married?"
"I do!" Huang Yu nodded vigorously.
"Then Daddy has to be well-prepared for Xiao Yu!"
"Daddy, when you get married, I want to be your groomsman!" said Huang Yu, blushing.
"Okay!" Huang Yu smiled and nodded, then looked at his watch. "Go out and have fun. I have to go to school later."
"Ah?" Huang Yu looked at Lu Jiangyu in surprise.
"I keep seeing you look at your phone. You"re not taking care of your eyes. Go on, just come home early tonight."
"Daddy!" Huang Yu suddenly broke out into a grin. "Hehe! I thought I was going to spend the whole day with Daddy!"
"I also that thought that, but my son is grown up!" he teased. "Go on now, be careful."
"Then I"m leaving first!"
"En, stay safe!"
Watching Huang Yu walk away, Lu Jiangyu took out his phone and called his sister. "Jie, are you busy? I"m fine, just wanted to buy some things with you… En, I"m waiting at the entrance of the school. Okay, I"m hanging up first."
Lu Jiangyu hung up and walked out of the cafe, without noticing the person who had been continuously staring at him from a distance…
Huang Yu walked into the subway station while calling Liu Shenghao. No one picked up, so he sent a text, but there was also no response. Thinking about it, he still decided to buy a ticket for Liu Shenghao"s stop. To be frank, Huang Yu finally learned how to ride the subway when he got to university. This can"t be blamed on him! He always went to a private high school that had a special shuttle for pick-ups and drop-offs, and normally his driver brought him to and from school. Also, he didn"t usually go anywhere other than school, so he had never ridden a subway. But when he went to university, he learned how to do a lot. The school was situated in a flourishing area, but it wasn"t super noisy and the traffic was also pretty good.
Huang Yu rode the subway for his first time because he wanted to wander around on his own. He saw the line to buy tickets and lined up behind them. The person in front of him kept looking back at him because his gaze was too pa.s.sionate! I can"t help it! This is my first time here!
Huang Yu chose to go to a relatively far place that would normally take over forty minutes by car, while it only took ten or so minutes by subway… it"s so fast! Thus, Huang Yu liked riding the subway. Of course, he did not like squeezing in with the crowds.
At this hour, there were a lot of people. Huang Yu was squeezed in to the point that he couldn"t take a full breath. Before, when Liu Shenghao was with him, when a lot of people b.u.mped into him, he covered him. Thinking of it made him so happy! I really want to see Shengsheng!
Finally, he arrived at the entrance to Liu Shenghao"s house. Huang Yu knocked on the door but no one answered. He recalled he had a key and hastily patted himself down. But he had forgotten it at home!!! Huang Yu could only call Li uShenghao again, but no one answered. His texts were also unanswered. Huang Yu knocked on the door continuously, but no one answered. At this time, Dan Ni from next door stuck out her head. "Stop knocking. Shenghao went out." Dan Ni looked at Huang Yu smugly.
"Where"d he go?"
"Ho would I know? Isn"t he your boyfriend? Call him!" Dan Ni rolled her eyes.
"He"s not picking up," Huang Yu explained clearly.
"Really? Even though I just heard a very loud sound from the room! I also heard a woman"s voice!" Dan Ni leaned against the door frame, and looked down at her fingernails. "He must"ve dumped you!"
"Shut up!" Huang Yu did not want to hear this at all. "If you don"t know anything, just shut up!"
"Oh, but I know that Shenghao has never been with someone as long as you. He must"ve gotten tired. Well, I have to go use a face mask now!" Dan Ni arrogantly turned around and shut the door. It"s impossible to fight with me!
"You"re lying!" Huang Yu shouted loudly. He turned back to impatiently knock on the door again, but still no one asnwered. Huang Yu kicked the door before turning around and stalking off. He reached the neighborhood entrance. He felt like now, he had anger but nowhere to vent! Holding in the pain! He looked to the left and right, but didn"t know where to go. Suddenly, he angrily walked forward, but he hadn"t taken two steps when someone grabbed onto him.
"Let go of me!" Huang Yu struggled in the offender"s grasp impatiently.
"Didn"t you see the red light!? Don"t you know this is a crosswalk!" That person was also in a foul temper.
Angry, Huang Yu spun around and saw, "Liang Yan? Why are you here?"
"Why can"t I be here!"
"Nevermind that! Let go of me!" Huang Yu"s pathetic twisting couldn"t break him free of his grasp. This was the difference of someone that exercises regularly!
"Are you still going to walk into red light?" Liang Yan asked.
"Aiya, I won"t! Let me go! People are looking!" Huang Yu demanded.
Liang Yan released his hold on HUang Yu"s color. "Be careful! That was dangerous!"
"I know, I know!" Huang Yu turned around and walked away.
Liang Yan caught up to him. "How come you look so unhappy?"
"It"s none of your business!" Huang Yu, still wallowing in sadness, blamed it all on that Dan Ni. She said there were loud voices, and there was a woman! When he thought of that, the fires of his heart became bigger!
"Okay, then I won"t ask. Do you want to go somewhere to vent?"
"Really, so d.a.m.n absurd!"
"Okay! I"ll take you somewhere!" Without waiting for Huang Yu to answer, Liang Yan grabbed Huang Yu"s hand and flagged down a taxi. He pushed Huang Yu inside and got in after him.
"What are you doing? Where are we going?"
"You"ll know when we get there!"
Liang Yan told the driver the address, then closed his eyes and shut his mind.
"Tsk! Just forget about it!" Huang Yu also closed his eyes and shut his mind.
Liu Shenghao, who Huang Yu could not find, was currently at home. He hadn"t rested for a moment or sorted out his feelings, before his mom dragged him home to explain everything to his dad. At this time, Liu Shenghao thought, What explanation? What could that do? Does his dad even care?
Liu Shenghao thought about whether he should pray to Buddha this year and ask why he was beaten up today and he still could not retaliate.
Just as he entered the door, Liu Jianshan slapped him. "How could I have a son like you! Break up right now! Don"t make me a shameful spectacle!
Liu Shenghao wordlessly stood there. Zhao Wanyun also didn"t know that he would be hit the moment he came. She hastily persuaded, "Shenghao, don"t make your dad angry! Break up with that boy! Even if it is the son of the Huang group, you"re not allowed! You are the only son of the Liu Family!"
"Huang group?" Liu Jianshan was curious. With excitement, he asked, "Is it Huang Qishan"s son?"
"Jianshan? What"s with you, why are you asking that?" Zhao Wanyun looked at Liu Jianshan in confusion.
When she got back, she immediately gave Liu Jianshan, who had not been home in a long time a call. She called for so long until finally someone picked up. Fortunately, it was the man himself, so he told him what was going on with their son. Liu Jianshan immediately called his son and told him to come home. He also collected his things to go home, kissing the sleeping woman next to him goodbye. "I"ll be back in a bit. Let my son sleep."
That woman was also woken up. "Don"t forget to pick up Shengmin."
"I know, I"ll send the driver to get him."
"Then, be careful." …
"Don"t cut in! Tell me if it"s that Huang Qishan"s son!"
Liu Shenghao was standing there incredulously. Zhao Wanyun grew nervous. "It is! Since when did you care about that? Breaking up is more important!"
"What break up! If they break up, you can eat the northwest wind1starve!" Liu Jianshan looked at her with disappointment. "Because of you hindrance of a woman, our Liu Family has become like this!"
"Laoye2master!" Zhao Wanyun was resentful. "I have been married into this family for almost thirty years. I don"t care about what you say, but Shenghao is the only son! Do you want the Liu Family to end here? I cannot bear this kind of accusation, laoye!"
"Peh! Your family will end here! Our Liu Family blood line is flourishingly. This only son is not an only son. If you want to hold a grandkid, make him find a woman later. Right now, the most important thing is the Huang group! Otherwise, you won"t even be able to take a sip of the northwest wind!"
Liu Shenghao watched his squabbling parents. He didn"t know when, but every time they met they would fight. One would only cry, while one would only curse. They had completely immersed themselves into their own battlefield and totally forgot that they had a son. To still keep civil with his own parents at this point, he really had to thank his teacher and friends…
"I"m not breaking up with him," Liu Shenghao suddenly said. Liu JIanshan excitedly grasped at Liu Shenghao"s shoulder. "What a good son! Such a good son!"
Liu Shenghao pushed Liu Jianshan"s hand away. "I"m also leaving Shengshi Group."
"Shenghao, what are you saying? You are the heir!!!"
"Just give Dad another kid. You can give my unimportant things to whoever. I hope that Dad won"t bother me, otherwise I won"t entertain you this patiently." After saying this, he walked away from Liu Jianshan"s shock and Zhao Wanyun"s sobbing. Didn"t this family have enough mess? Liu Shenghao scoffed. He took out his phone and saw that Huang Yu had called. Liu SHenghao immediately dialed back, but no one answered…
"That"s right! Hit it harder! Vent harder!" Liang Yan encouraged loudly, watching Huang Yu punch the sandbag. However, this brat"s strength was shocking! He had been punching for half an hour without stopping. Looks like he was filled with resentment!
"Okay, okay! I"ll take you to eat!"
"I want to go for a bit more!" Huang Yu felt like he was boiling over. HIs mind right now was in shambles, but he couldn"t help but long to see Shengsheng!
Liang Yan went to get Huang Yu water when he saw his phone on the table ring. The incoming caller was "Shengsheng". Liang Yan called Huang Yu"s name, but Huang Yu didn"t seem to hear him. Liang Yan looked at the phone and remembered that the person who had come to pick up Huang Yu that day was "Shengsheng". That man… Liang Yan gave a thumbs up, and the phone did not ring again.
"Gold Maomao! Let"s go! I"ll take you to go eat a big plate of chicken!"
"I want to eat potatoes!" Huang Yu came over, sweating profusely. He pulled off his gloves.
"Okay, let"s go!" Liang Yan brought over Huang Yu"s bag.
"What did you just call me?"
"Nothing!"
"Then why did I just hear someone call me Gold Maomao? Did I hear wrong?" Huang Yu picked up his phone. Scared, Liang Yan went to stop him, when Huang Yu shouted, "Oh no! No battery!"
"You definitely heard wrong!" Liang Yan immediately smiled. "Let"s go, let"s go. If we don"t go now, there"ll be a crowd!" He plopped his arm on Huang Yu"s shoulder.
"I know!"
