Jiang Huai’s first night at Lu’s house was uneventful.

　His room was right next to Lu Wusui’s, and Lu Wusui said that if he had anything to do at night he could just call him.

　Jiang Huai agreed obediently, but he would definitely not call out unless it was necessary.

　When he moved in on the first night, he thought that staying in someone else’s home for too long would cause trouble, so he wanted to leave the next day.

　But the next day, Lu Wusui brought new games to attract his attention.

　It’s better not to play games, but once you start playing, there’s no end to it.

　It is even more addictive than outdoor sports.

　Jiang Huai still stayed at Lu’s house the next day, and planned to leave on the third day.

　As the saying goes, tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows.

　Jiang Huai plunged into the Lu family, and when he came to his senses, half a month had passed.

　He looked at the date one morning, calculated what day it would be when he came over, and was shocked.

　The most important thing is that even though he disturbed others so much, Lu Wusui didn’t show the slightest sign of annoyance.

　Jiang Huai doesn’t have many friends and doesn’t have much experience in making friends. He often keeps a distance from people. This distance makes him feel safe. It is the first time he has been so close to someone, not even Zhu Xiaoai.

　He didn’t understand whether it was good for him to live in someone else’s house for such a long time.

　Will Lu Wusui feel uncomfortable?

　But when he asked this, Lu Wusui’s expression remained normal, and he even smiled a little: “Why do you think so? This is how ordinary people make friends.”

　Yeah?

　Jiang Huai knew that he was different from others, so when Lu Wusui said this, he believed it.

　Of course, he didn’t think that he was different from ordinary people, and Lu Wusui was also different from ordinary people.

　Neither of them really understands the rules of normal people, and they try hard to imitate, but the result is a weird imitation.

　So Jiang Huai lived like this for another half a month.

　During this half month, he played almost all the best-selling games. During this period, he especially wanted to paint. Just when he was about to ask Aunt Tao to send him some painting supplies, Lu Wusui bought him new painting supplies.

　It was like when you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.

　As a result, Jianghuai had everything he needed.

　He almost treated the Lu family as his own. In just one month, the place was filled with traces of his life.

　During this period, Tao Chuannan called him once, and Mrs. Tao also called him once.

　Tao Chuannan only asked him one question, “Are you really not going home?”

　Jiang Huai thought his question was very strange and asked in confusion: “What home?”

　Tao Chuannan was silent for a moment.

　Then he hung up the phone silently.

　After he hung up the phone, Jiang Huai realized that the home Tao Chuannan was talking about should be Tao’s home, but Jiang Huai didn’t regard it as his home at all, and Tao Chuannan’s tone was too matter-of-fact, as if he took it for granted that he could understand.

　The result is that Jiang Huai didn’t understand.

　Then there is Mrs. Tao.

　Mrs. Tao asked more directly than Tao Chunan, and her tone on the phone was unfriendly, “Jiang Huai, is it time for you to go back to the Tao family?”

　She said “Tao family” directly, and Jiang Huai understood what she was talking about.

　Jiang Huai thought for a moment and said, “Well… I was just playing with my friends outside, and he didn’t want me to go back.”

　From her tone, it can be heard that Mrs. Tao is angry. She said angrily: “He doesn’t want you to go back? Jiang Huai, can you have a little… a little shame? It’s okay that you haven’t been back to the Tao family for so many days, but you should at least consider the reputation of the Tao family and the Jiang family, right?”

　”You’re right.” Jiang Huai didn’t argue with her.

　Mrs. Tao choked instead.

　”But, it seems that no one has said bad things about the Tao and Jiang families because of me during this period of time,” Jiang Huai thought for a moment and added slowly, “Except for the gossip caused by Young Master Tao not returning home in the past two months.”

　Mrs. Tao: “…”

　”Master Tao can stay away from his own home for such a long time,” Jiang Huai said in a very organized manner, “I just haven’t been home for a month, should it be okay?”

　He just hasn’t been back to the house that is not his home for a month, so he must be fine.

　Mrs. Tao: “…”

　This was the first time she had such a long conversation with Jiang Huai, and also the first time she heard Jiang Huai speak for such a long time. She almost doubted her life.

　Isn’t it said that the eldest son of the Jiang family has an abnormal IQ?

　After marrying into the Tao family, Jiang Huai often kept silent, and she really thought so!

　And did she hear it right? Jiang Huai actually called her son “Master Tao”.

　Master Tao! They are all married!

　Jiang Huai called a man he was married to “Young Master”!

　Mrs. Tao was choked and speechless. Just as she was about to open her mouth to scold him, she heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone.

　”Some conversations can be ended after explanation.”

　Jiang Huai said “Oh”.

　Before Mrs. Tao could remember who the familiar voice was, a busy tone came from the phone.

　She gritted her teeth: “…”

　When Jiang Huai turned around, Lu Wusui was standing in front of his easel, admiring a painting he had just finished.

　I don’t know why.

　Jiang Huai’s paintings have been exhibited on many walls and have attracted millions of views online, but when Lu Wusui looked at his paintings, he actually felt a little nervous.

　After Lu Wusui turned around and said to him, “Your paintings are beautiful.”

　The tension finally eased.

　Instead, it turned into embarrassment.

　Lu Wusui looked away from the painting and stared at Jiang Huai, “The Tao family urged you to go back, right?”

　Jiang Huai nodded honestly.

　So he watched helplessly as Lu Wusui’s eyes changed from joyful and bright to gloomy, but he still forced a smile at him and said, “Are you leaving then?”

　”Ah,” Jiang Huai hesitated a little, “If you don’t want me to leave, can I stay and play for a while?”

　It was obvious that Lu Wusui didn’t want him to leave.

　But from his tone, Lu Wusui also heard a bit of reluctance.

　Although he didn’t know whether this reluctance was directed at him or the game, Lu Wusui’s mood improved and he said in an affirmative tone: “Of course.”

　But he didn’t feel happy for long.

　Because after they finished playing games at night, Jiang Huai stared at the screen with a look of unsatisfied interest and said something without thinking: “Although I can still stay for a while, I still have to leave. I recently drew a picture for you. When I finish it, I will give it to you and leave, okay?”

　He did not regard the Tao family as his own, and he had also made up his mind not to maintain his marriage with Tao Chunan anymore.

　But the Lu family is not his home either, and he will have to leave one day.

　Lu Wusui’s smile froze on the corner of his mouth.

　Jiang Huai’s words made him feel like he was riding a roller coaster, going up and down, and finally stopping at the lowest point.

　He seemed to be genuinely confused. “Why do you have to leave? If you want, you can live here forever…”

　He closed his mouth before he finished speaking.

　It’s too much.

　Based on the time he spent with Jiang Huai, Lu Wusui knew that Jiang Huai was not particularly sensitive to feelings, and was even slow to do so.

　After he stopped talking, he observed Jiang Huai’s expression.

　For a moment, he hoped that Jiang Huai would understand, but he was also afraid of his reaction when he understood.

　After hearing him say that he could live here forever, Jiang Huai frowned in confusion, then shook his head, “Of course not! It’s too disturbing for you.”

　The knife did not fall from his head, but Lu Wusui did not feel happy.

　He said in a deep voice: “Why not?”

　Jiang Huai sensed the murderous intent he accidentally revealed and slowly closed his mouth.

　Fortunately, Lu Wusui quickly returned to his normal state, restrained the expression on his face, and said slowly: “I mean, I don’t feel disturbed, you can stay as long as you want.”

　”By the way, I also found a fun game,” Lu Wusui changed the subject in time, “This game has a lot of beautiful scenes, do you want to take a look?”

　Jiang Huai’s attention was diverted.

　Jiang Huai stayed at Lu’s house for a few more days, and felt more and more uncomfortable.

　He felt like he was leaving.

　Although Lu Wusui didn’t bother him and even told him to stay there for the rest of his life, Jiang Huai still felt that this was not a good idea, so he planned to leave.

　When he told Lu Wusui about this.

　Lu Wusui’s reaction was a little strange at first, but it returned to normal after a while. He calmed down and said with a little sadness: “Are you really leaving?”

　Jiang Huai inexplicably felt like he had become a heartless man.

　This feeling is even weirder.

　He responded, but still kept his thoughts, “Yeah, I think I should go.”

　Lu Wusui asked again: “Can I ask why you have to leave? Are you tired of seeing me? Or… because of your marriage, you have to go back?”

　”Oh no, of course I’m not bothering you,” Jiang Huai was a little surprised, “As for marriage…it has something to do with it.”

　Lu Wusui fell silent.

　His rationality was limited when facing Jiang Huai, so at this moment, he wanted to kill Tao Chuannan.

　Of course, this is a society ruled by law, but he was almost unable to contain his disgust for Tao Chuannan.

　But if Jiang Huai and Tao Chuannan hadn’t had this marriage…

　Can he do whatever he wants to Jiang Huai?

　In fact, even if there was no such marriage, he would not be able to do whatever he wanted to Jiang Huai, but just like those people who love to fantasize and do all kinds of things for the person they like, the reality is too sour, and they always need something sweet to ease the pressure.

　Lu Wusui maintained his last bit of rationality and said calmly: “Okay, you can go.”

　Jiang Huai observed his expression and seemed to sense a little sadness.

　But that sadness was masked by Lu Wusui’s calmness and could not be seen clearly, so Jiang Huai quickly began to prepare to leave this matter.

　He left without much hesitation.

　Lu Wusui stretched out his hand, then retracted it. He thought that if Jiang Huai turned back, he would definitely pull Jiang Huai back…

　But Jiang Huai did not look back.

　He didn’t even take the easel that Lu Wusui bought for him. Before leaving, he pointed at the painting on it and said to Lu Wusui, “The painting I drew for you is finished. I’m giving it to you.”

　Lu Wusui endured it and said, “Okay… Thank you, I like it very much.”

　Jiang Huai really left.

　Lu Wusui returned to the Lu family and sat on the sofa. He did not see with his own eyes how Jiang Huai returned to the Tao family.

　He doesn’t want to see it, doesn’t want to send him.

　After Jiang Huai left, Lu Wusui resisted hearing any news about Jiang Huai for a few days.

　This was strange for him.

　Generally speaking, if he likes something, he will try hard to get it, but this time maybe he likes it too much, and the relationship has reached a certain level, so his heart aches for a while when he hears the news about Jiang Huai.

　Not the psychological pain.

　It really hurts so much that I can’t breathe.

　He thought that even though Jiang Huai and Tao Chuan Nan had no feelings for each other, they were a real couple after all, legally recognized. Jiang Huai only treated his place as an ordinary friend’s home and was only staying here temporarily. In the end, he would return to the Tao family and return to Tao Chuan Nan.

　This made him uncontrollably irritable.

　He knew how terrible his temper was, and was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Jiang Huai after his outburst, so he had been restraining himself since he approached Jiang Huai.

　But I can’t control myself anymore.

　Especially after Jiang Huai left, the frequency of his insomnia increased greatly. When Jiang Huai lived next door to him before, he could fall asleep if he just thought about the reassuring smell of Jiang Huai.

　But not now.

　Even if he tried hard to recall, he couldn’t imagine what Jiang Huai’s body should smell like. Insomnia made his temper worse and worse.

　This day, we finally reached a critical point.

　The cause was that a cat sneaked into Lu Wusui’s house.

　No one knows where the cat climbed up from, but cats are animals that like to climb high and low. Lu Wusui’s bedroom is on the second floor, so it is very likely that the cat slipped in by itself.

　When Lu Wusui entered the bedroom, the cat was lying on his bed.

　——Instantly, he felt like his brain was about to explode, and a storm seemed to be sweeping through his chest, causing him to shout angrily: “Someone come!”

　The servant heard it in time and hurried up.

　When he saw the cat lying on Lu Wusui’s bed, his heart suddenly stopped and he was so scared that he rushed forward to catch it.

　There was chaos in the room. Lu Wusui took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and left the place.

　He went to the living room and wanted to pour himself a glass of cold water to cool down.

　But I don’t know if it was bad luck, but when I picked up the cup of cold water, I slipped and dropped the cup.

　Lu Wusui stared gloomily at the mess on the ground.

　Just as the emotions in his eyes were pent up, becoming more and more violent, and about to explode – the doorbell rang.

　The butler was very considerate and quickly stepped forward and pressed the call button on the door lock.

　Jiang Huai’s voice came out: “Hello, Uncle Butler, is Lu Wusui home?”

　All emotions came to a sudden stop.

　Lu Wusui turned his head away abruptly.

　He walked towards the door eagerly and opened it impatiently, allowing Jiang Huai to appear in front of him.

　Jiang Huai was carrying an old easel, many painting tools, and a bag.

　He was not very good at remembering and said, “I have no place to live, can I live in your house?”

　Lu Wusui seemed to be mute.

　It took him a long time to find his voice again, and he said softly, “Of course, you can stay as long as you want.”

　Before Jiang Huai could move, the butler beside him had already picked up his suitcase.

　Jiang Huai followed the two people into the room, saw the broken glass on the ground, and asked quickly: “What happened?”

　Lu Wusui was still a little uncomfortable, but he had regained most of his composure. “It’s just a small episode.”

　Jiang Huai nodded.

　At this moment, a nanny came downstairs carrying a cat and bumped into the two of them. Jiang Huai’s eyes lit up instantly and he exclaimed, “Do you have a cat at home?”

　The nanny said: “No, this is to be thrown away…”

　”Yes,” Lu Wusui knew that Jiang Huai liked cats, so he immediately interrupted the nanny and said, “This is the cat we want to keep at home, but it hasn’t been bathed yet, so it’s a little dirty.”

　Jiang Huai suddenly realized, “Is it a stray cat that you just adopted?”

　He stroked the cat’s head.

　The cat was relatively well behaved. Perhaps it was frightened by humans and did not resist.

　When Jiang Huai was playing with the cat, the housekeeper had packed up his things and came over to inform him. Before Jiang Huai could say thank you, Lu Wusui said, “Jiang Huai, I may have to stay in your room tonight.”

　Jiang Huai was a little surprised, “Ah? Why?”

　”Because this cat just soiled my bed,” Lu Wusui said calmly, “My bed is dirty and I have nowhere to live. Can you take me in?”

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　This was originally Lu Wusui’s home, so how could we talk about adopting him or not?

　He agreed.

　Before going to bed at night, Jiang Huai naively thought he was just sleeping.

　Until Lu Wusui brought the wine.

　Jiang Huai’s alcohol tolerance… He never drinks, and he himself doesn’t even know how much he can drink.

　His first reaction was to refuse, “Yeah, I don’t like drinking this kind of stuff.”

　Lu Wusui’s expression was very calm, “No, it’s not for you, I drink it myself.”

　Jiang Huai felt a little embarrassed about being “self-indulgent”, but it didn’t last long, because Lu Wusui started drinking one glass after another in front of him.

　While drinking, he said, “Don’t worry about me, just take care of yours.”

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　Can he handle this situation?

　And as the number of cups increased, Lu Wusui’s calmness was obviously being eroded by the alcohol, and he was no longer the same as usual.

　Jiang Huai was a little scared, so he moved closer to him and tugged at the corner of his clothes, “Lu Wusui, please don’t drink anymore, okay?”

　Unexpectedly, Lu Wusui held his hand.

　When being wrapped in the hot palm, Jiang Huai couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.

　The strange thing is that he was obviously a little afraid of Lu Wusui’s current condition, but when Lu Wusui touched him, he had no intention of avoiding him.

　Even that fear comes from the perspective of worry.

　Lu Wusui asked: “Jiang Huai, why did you come back?”

　Jiang Huai said “ah” and felt a little embarrassed. “Did I disturb you? I’m sorry.”

　Lu Wusui didn’t say anything.

　He moved closer to Jiang Huai’s face, his eyes filled with a hint of obsession.

　Jiang Huai suddenly felt at a loss.

　He has always been sensitive about the distance between people. Even Zhu Xiaoai, who he has known for many years, would at most put his arm on his shoulders and would not even touch his hands.

　But Lu Wusui can.

　Ever since he moved into the Lu family, Lu Wusui had various physical contacts with him, which had exceeded his safe distance for contact with people, but he did not feel any discomfort.

　——If being embarrassed can be considered as being uncomfortable.

　Lu Wusui got closer and closer.

　He really didn’t lie. He prepared the wine for himself, because if he didn’t prepare it, he still wouldn’t dare to do anything to Jiang Huai.

　He had endured some words for a long time.

　The two people’s gazes were entangled in the air, bringing out a sticky ambiguity, and Lu Wusui’s breathing was close at hand.

　He opened his mouth and whispered, “Why did you come back?”

　”Because…” Jiang Huai’s brain seemed to be controlled by something, and he stammered: “Because…”

　Because of what?

　Jiang Huai suddenly had an idea and said quickly, “Ah! I remembered, because I have dissolved my marriage with the Tao family!”

　Just finished speaking.

　Lu Wusui paused.

　He had a bewildered look on his face, as if he was shocked by the news and a bit in disbelief.

　Jiang Huai looked at his reaction and instantly became uneasy. “That’s right, Tao Chuannan and I signed an agreement. I went to him to cancel the agreement, but he was a little reluctant at first, so he delayed it for a few days… Later, he and his mother had a quarrel, and everyone in the room almost started fighting. I sneaked away when they started fighting…”

　”You wouldn’t…” Jiang Huai said, “You wouldn’t, you’re looking for me to play because of the Tao family, right?”

　Lu Wusui didn’t say anything.

　He looked at Jiang Huai for a moment – after a moment, he kissed the mouth he had coveted for a long time fiercely.

　Jiang Huai’s pupils tightened.

　”Jiang Huai,” Lu Wusui suddenly said, “Close your eyes.”

　Jiang Huai obeyed him and closed his eyes.

　He felt as if he was drunk, and it was not Lu Wusui who was drinking, but him.

　From the moment Lu Wusui appeared in his world, it was filled with a sense of unreality. The touch of his lips was so soft, and he was controlled by Lu Wusui. He curled up in Lu Wusui’s arms, like a soft clam that had found its own shell.

　Lu Wusui kissed him and said, “So good, baby, so good…”

　He kissed me harder and harder.

　If Jiang Huai opened his eyes and looked at him, he would be frightened by his current appearance.

　There was no longer any emotion hidden in Lu Wusui’s eyes. Bloodshot gradually filled his eyes, revealing a beast-like ferocity. Jiang Huai was the prey he had bewitched and lured.

　He wished he could eat Jiang Huai up.

　Let Jiang Huai cry, let Jiang Huai feel pain, let Jiang Huai’s eyes be filled with only him.

　As the force gradually increased, Jiang Huai groaned softly, and Lu Wusui’s murderous look retreated like the tide, and he carefully checked whether he was injured.

　No, just my mouth is a little swollen.

　Jiang Huai covered his mouth, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He asked stupidly, “Lu Wusui… do you like me?”

　Lu Wusui asked: “What do you think?”

　Jiang Huai blushed.

　At such a moment, he was still dazed, slow, and shyly hiding his face, which looked so cute in Lu Wusui’s eyes that he wanted to bite him.

　He also wanted to ask whether Jiang Huai liked him.

　But there is really no need to ask.

　The answer is so obvious.

　Lu Wusui hugged him tightly, as if he was holding a lost treasure that was finally found.

　The fear, worry, and jealousy of the past few days all disappeared because of Jiang Huai’s love.

　Jiang Huai’s voice came into his ears again, softly, “You should like me.”

　Without waiting for Lu Wusui to speak, Jiang Huai said, “I think so too.”

　At this moment, a gust of wind blew in through the window. Lu Wusui hugged Jiang Huai tightly, and saw out of the corner of his eye that the wind lifted the cloth covering the easel.

　Under the veil, there was a hot red color.

　Jiang Huai asked again: “Lu Wusui, do I have a family now?”

　Lu Wusui choked up inexplicably, feeling extremely distressed. He touched Jiang Huai’s head and said seriously, “Yes.”

　Jiang Huai said again: “Lu Wusui, I drew a picture of roses for you.”

　The wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing up the curtains. The sky also darkened a lot, almost without any light, and it was all dark. Suddenly, the curtain was blown up by the wind and swung to an unknown place, revealing the full picture of the painting.

　——It was indeed a field of blooming roses.

　Jiang Huai had a good dream.

　He couldn’t remember the content of the dream clearly, but it seemed that he was in love with Lu Wusui again, and it was quite sweet. When he woke up in the morning, he couldn’t help but stare at the ceiling and smile.

　But compared to him, Lu Wusui didn’t seem to be so relaxed.

　Lu Wusui was awakened by someone shouting his name.

　Jiang Huai was startled, and quickly got him a glass of water from the bedside table, calling him softly: “Husband?”

　”Jiang Huai…” Lu Wusui opened his eyes and asked as if he were in another world, “Jiang Huai?”

　Jiang Huai responded.

　Then, he was hugged by Lu Wusui.

　Lu Wusui checked his whole body, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he let him go, still frightened, muttering, “It was a dream.”

　Jiang Huai couldn’t help but ask: “What did you dream about?”

　”I dreamed…” Lu Wusui said, “I dreamed about your previous life.”

　Jiang Huai once told Lu Wusui about his past life, but Lu Wusui could only hear half of it each time and then couldn’t listen any further.

　It’s not impatience, it’s just that I can’t bear it.

　In fact, Lu Wusui had two dreams. In the first dream, he seemed to possess Jiang Huai and accompanied him to the end of his life. In the second dream, before anything happened, he became himself and did not let Jiang Huai make the same mistake again.

　In the second dream, he probably had the consciousness of “getting closer to Jianghuai” after the banquet.

　He did change the course of things.

　But when the dream was about to end, Jiang Huai lying on the hospital bed flashed in his mind again, and he was awakened by the shock.

　Seeing that he had calmed down, Jiang Huai moved the cup away from his lips and took a sip slowly himself.

　At this moment, Lu Wusui grabbed his wrist, leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

　Trying to find a sense of security.

　Because of his action, the water instantly spilled all over the bed. Jiang Huai hurriedly said, “Water, water, no… um…”

　he is obviously the person who hates having his bed dirty the most, but now he doesn’t care as much as Jiang Huai.

　After Lu Wusui kissed enough, he buried his head in Jiang Huai’s neck, panting.

　”It’s getting cold,” he kissed Jiang Huai’s ear fondly, “It seems that we don’t need to keep the Tao family and the Jiang family anymore, what do you think?”

　Originally, he just disciplined the Tao family and the Jiang family, causing serious damage to the vitality of both families.

　But now he feels that neither of these two companies has any need to exist anymore.

　Jiang Huai was about to speak when Lu Wusui blocked his mouth again.

　Lu Wusui held him and pushed him into the bed, avoiding the wet areas, and said softly, “Wife.”

　He kissed Jiang Huai’s face again and said, “I love you.”

　”Yeah,” Jiang Huai said, feeling that his reaction was not good enough, so he said seriously, “I love you too.”

　Lu Wusui hugged him tightly.

　This time when he was holding Jiang Huai, he looked out the window and saw a bright sunny day.

　After all, the darkness is over.

　Dreams are just dreams.

　And now, this is the most real and happiest life.
