The next day, when Jiang Huai got up, there were marks on his face from being pressed.
After he got up, Lu Wusui was already sitting beside him reading a book. Jiang Huai rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked down. He saw that his clothes had been bunched up because he had not been well rested during his sleep.
His white belly gleamed in the sun.
Lu Wusui also looked over, but he only took a quick glance and quickly looked away.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to watch.
Just raise the flag again. A little pain is a small matter, but if it gets inflamed, it will be a big problem.
Jiang Huai looked down at his belly.
Why does he feel like he has gained some weight?
When he sat like this before, his stomach was always retracted, unlike now, when a piece of flesh protruded slightly from his lower abdomen.
In fact, if you don’t look closely, it’s not that obvious.
Lu Wusui’s eyes almost turned stiff, but he still didn’t see Jiang Huai put on his clothes.
He simply gave up on himself and turned his gaze back.
Then he saw Jiang Huai staring at his belly in a daze.
Lu Wusui paused.
…looks pretty soft.
Not only his belly, Jiang Huai also has some not-so-obvious baby fat on his cheeks. You can’t see it unless you look carefully, but it becomes more obvious when he lowers his head.
It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but Lu Wusui did not think Jiang Huai was fat.
Even when he looked at that piece of soft meat, he felt an itchy feeling in his hands.
I want to rub it.
But he couldn’t watch for long, because Jiang Huai had already put the clothes down.
The manor is picturesque during the day, especially in summer when the flowers, plants and trees are in full bloom.
Jiang Huai hid in the shade with a drawing board in front of him. Everywhere he could see was beautiful.
But in such a beautiful place.
He heard some mosquito sounds.
Lu Wusui had already sprayed him with floral water, making him smell fragrant all over, and he also lit mosquito coils near him. In fact, the number of mosquitoes was so few that it was almost negligible.
But Jiang Huai just felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He rarely feels so upset or depressed that he can’t relieve himself, because he thinks about things in a simple way.
What can be solved, and what cannot be solved.
All the problems that could be solved were solved by him, and those that could not be solved were thrown out of his mind and he simply stopped thinking about them.
But now, he clearly didn’t think of anything.
I just heard the slight sound of mosquitoes, and then I became annoyed.
Lu Wusui was right next to him, lying on a recliner, wearing sunglasses and closing his eyes.
Jiang Huai: So annoying, why is he so leisurely?
This emotion of his came out of nowhere, and even he himself felt a little unbelievable.
But after all, Jiang Huai has always been very well behaved.
Unless Lu Wusui provokes him, he will not take the initiative to pick a fight with Lu Wusui.
So he endured it.
However, when the evening came, he failed to hold back.
The cause was that Lu Wusui put some broccoli into his bowl.
The vegetable Jiang Huai hates the most is broccoli. People’s tastes may change many times from childhood to adulthood, but his aversion to broccoli remains the same.
Lu Wusui actually gave him something so disgusting!
Besides, didn’t they eat separately before? How come Lu Wusou still remembered to pick up food for him now?
——Jiang Huai was so angry that he completely forgot that Lu Wusui had confessed his love to him.
It’s perfectly normal to be attentive to someone you like.
Even Mr. Lu is not immune to this.
Jiang Huai took two bites of the rice in his bowl.
Looking at the green broccoli in front of me, I became excited again.
In fact, there were quite a few green vegetables in his bowl, which surprised Lu Wusui.
The Lu family’s cook has been complaining a lot these past two days.
After all, they specialize in cooking heavy-flavor dishes, and vegetables are definitely not as delicious as meat dishes.
If their employer is not happy and fires them, where can they seek justice?
Jiang Huai stopped eating. He stopped talking and raised his chopsticks.
Then he picked up the annoying broccoli and put it back into Lu Wusui’s bowl.
Lu Wusui:……?
Jianghuai feels relaxed physically and mentally.
Lu Wusui was flattered.
Since the entire table was covered in green, he actually couldn’t see clearly what dish he had just passed to Jiang Huai.
You can imagine how happy he was that Jiang Huai picked up food for him.
He pressed down the corner of his mouth that was curled up, and said to Jiang Huai: “Actually, you don’t have to pick it up for me, I can eat it myself…”
Jiang Huai had a stern face, and there was no expression on his chubby little face.
Lu Wusui: Shut up in time.
…What’s going on?
Jiang Huai was extremely irritable.
Especially when he saw Lu Wusui, he always felt that Lu Wusui’s leisurely and contented vacation state was very annoying.
But Lu Wusui did nothing!
Even Lu Wusui noticed that he was in a bad mood.
Lu Wusui did not completely relax his vigilance.
He was still wary, but the bad thing was: he had no experience in accompanying pregnant women, and his TV drama viewing volume was not much higher than Jiang Huai’s.
So when Jiang Huai showed these abnormal symptoms, Lu Wusui’s suspicion flashed through his heart, but he did not continue to investigate further.
Not long after dinner in the evening, Jiang Huai broke a vase again.
At the manor, the prices of the vases used for decoration are even higher than those of the Lu family.
After all, this is a place for leisure and entertainment, and aesthetics is also very important. Therefore, Lu Wusui did not think twice at the time and made everything the best.
When Lu Wusui went upstairs, Jiang Huai was staring at the fragments in front of him at a loss, and trying to pick them up.
”Don’t move!” Lu Wusui’s heart almost jumped out.
Seeing Jiang Huai frightened, Lu Wusui rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Huai’s hand, looked it over and over twice, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that everything was fine. Then he asked the housekeeper to bring people up to clean up.
Jiang Huai looked like he had lost his soul.
Lu Wusui frowned, “Are you scared?”
Jiang Huai didn’t say anything.
Lu Wusui was a little anxious. He pinched Jiang Huai’s chin and looked into his eyes. After noticing that Jiang Huai’s eyes were a little dull, he anxiously said, “My dear Tiantian, are you really scared?”
Jiang Huai shook his head in shock.
He thought that since he broke the vase, Lu Wusui would definitely be angry.
But now, Lu Wusui didn’t show any sign of life.
This also cleared away the anger that had been accumulating in his heart.
After the butler and his men had left, Jiang Huai whispered, “I’ll pay you back for the vase later…”
Now the fees he earns from painting for his clients are increasing as his skills improve.
If I take a few more this summer, I should be able to pay it off.
Lu Wusui paused.
So Jiang Huai was worried about this?
After he told Jiang Huai that he liked him, Jiang Huai was still in a hurry to draw a line between them?
His face darkened for a moment, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Who asked you to pay it back?”
Jiang Huai: …?
”I didn’t even mention it, but you’re quite proactive,” Lu Wusou said sarcastically, “If it was millions this time, would you still be so proactive?”
Jiang Huai was frightened.
Millions!
Seeing how frightened he was, Lu Wusui knew that he took it seriously.
A feeling of helplessness surged in his heart, but he was reluctant to continue talking. He snorted arrogantly, then let go of Jiang Huai’s hand.
Jiang Huai pondered for a moment, then reluctantly said, “Then… I’ll give it back to you.”
Lu Wusui was confused.
Jiang Huai felt so painful, but out of his own principles, he still said: “You tell me, how many millions?”
Lu Wusui: Grinding my teeth.
Jiang Huai continued, “If I really can’t pay it back, can I sell you all my paintings in the past five years? It will still be effective even if we get divorced. My skills are improving, and they will definitely be more valuable every year. I can paint a lot in five years…”
”Stop talking,” Lu Wusui’s clenched hands were shaking, “If you keep talking, I’ll raise your price to tens of millions.”
Jiang Huai wanted to say something but finally closed his mouth.
Lu Wusu was so angry that he was confused. “You don’t have to pay it back. You can smash everything in this house to vent your anger. I only have one request from you now. Don’t talk to me tonight.”
Jiang Huai: …That’s not what you said half a year ago.
But for the sake of millions, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Lu Wusui was still angry, “Also, if you want to divorce me, forget it!”
Jiang Huai pursed his lips and tried his best not to talk back to him.
Lu Wusui went downstairs angrily.
Jiang Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He could feel that Lu Wusui was really angry just now.
But didn’t he just mention divorce? He didn’t pester Lu Wusui every day to annoy him like before.
Jiang Huai mobilized his think tank again.
——It was the small group of only three people.
He asked in confusion: [I made Lu Wusui angry again, but I didn’t mean to make him angry this time, but he got angry on his own.]
When they heard there was something exciting to watch, Sister Zhen and Zhu Xiaoai ran away faster than anyone else.
Sister Zhen took the lead and said, “Come on, tell me what you are talking about. I will answer your questions and resolve your doubts.”
Zhu Xiaoai PS: [Hurry up.]
Jianghuai’s typing is better than normal speaking, but not much better, and it is still slow.
He said: [Yes, I broke another vase of his.]
Zhu Xiaoai: [Oh, how much is it this time?]
Sister Zhen was shocked: [What do you mean by this time? What do you mean by ‘again’? ]
Zhu Xiaoai: [What I mean is, he broke one last time, and that time it seemed to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which Jiang Huai had worked hard to save for half a year.]
Jiang Huai paused at this moment.
Although on the surface, he had saved up for these hundreds of thousands of dollars for half a year, but in reality – it seemed that Lu Wusui didn’t want the money at all?
Jiang Huai was thinking about this while typing: [But this time, I said I would pay him back and even used my works for the next five years as collateral, but he got angry…]
Zhu Xiaoai sent a thumbs-up emoji: [OK, really good, Mr. Lu is really rich, no, he is a real man.]
Jiang Huai continued: [I also said that when we get divorced in the future, I will not regret it or cheat, and I will say five years is five years.]
Zhu Xiaoai and Sister Zhen were both speechless.
For a moment, the group fell silent.
Jiang Huai slowly finished his last message: [He told me to give up on this idea.]
Zhu Xiaoai said: […You deserve it.]
Jiang Huai felt that Zhu Xiaoai was becoming less and less lovable recently.
He was about to put his phone down angrily, but at this moment, Zhu Xiaoai sent another message: [Jiang Xiaohuai, sometimes you can learn to think from someone else’s perspective. If you were the one being told this, would you be angry?]
Jiang Huai thought about it.
It seems… a little bit?
But half a year ago, Lu Wusui did say such words to him. At that time, those who wanted to spend money on the vase and those who wanted to agree to marriage were all Lu Wusui.
He hadn’t been particularly angry—but now he was getting angry.
Is Lu Wusui even angrier than him today?
The group fell silent. Jiang Huai and Zhu Xiaoai stopped talking.
After a long time, Sister Zhen sent a voice message.
After clicking it, there was a sentence: “I got it! Aaaaaaah!”
Jiang Huai: “…”
Someone with a slower reaction time than him appeared.
That night, Jiang Huai and Lu Wusui did not say a word to each other when they went to sleep.
Jiang Huai didn’t dare to get close to Lu Wusui anymore, he was really scared by the heat.
He felt that Lu Wusui would probably ignore him tonight.
Not long after, just as he closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep—
Lu Wusui pressed against his back.
Jiang Huai’s whole body froze, and he kept jumping between pushing him away and not pushing him away.
Push it away. He couldn’t stretch out his hand for some reason, but if he didn’t push it away, it would be too… hot!
This manor is quite cool and there is basically no need to turn on the air conditioner.
But the prerequisite is that the two people do not sleep next to each other.
And it may be that the people who built the manor were too confident.
They didn’t install air conditioning here at all. It’s cool when it’s cool, but once it gets hot, there’s really nothing you can do.
Jianghuai was in a difficult situation for a while.
Lu Wusui had no idea of his difficulties.
He really couldn’t help it.
Jiang Huai was right next to him, but he couldn’t even hug him. This was not torturing Jiang Huai, this was torturing him.
After holding him for a while, I felt more and more angry.
He stretched out his hand and placed his palm on Jiang Huai’s belly.
Jiang Huai: “…”
Why did he suddenly grab his stomach?
Lu Wusui not only touched it, he even grabbed the soft flesh on Jiang Huai’s belly and rubbed it hard.
Jiang Huai: …Is this person possessed by some disgusting thing?
He couldn’t stand the itch any longer, bit his open lips, frowned and said, “Lu——”
”Shut up,” Lu Wusui continued, “I said, don’t talk to me tonight.”
Jiang Huai: Who is this person?
Lu Wusui didn’t realize at all how… despicable his behavior was. After rubbing him, he still felt unsatisfied and even pinched him.
When he saw the fat on Jiang Huai’s belly during the day, he wanted to do this.
Jiang Huai: “…”
He was going to be angry, really.
Lu Wusui hugged Jiang Huai, as if he was petting a cat, and smelled the unique fragrance on Jiang Huai’s skin.
And bit his ear again.
He soon found himself in a state of “being high”, and while rubbing Jiang Huai’s face, he also vented his anger.
Let him pay back the money!
He think about drawing a line between us every day.
And Jianghuai endured the humiliation and bore the heavy burden.
Although he also had the urge to kick out, this urge was ultimately dispersed by the millions.
Tolerate……
I can’t stand it anymore!
When Lu Wusui bit his cheek again, Jiang Huai puffed up his cheeks and butted Lu Wusui with his head.
Lu Wusui felt pain and opened his mouth, and a smell of blood immediately filled his mouth.
He looked at Jiang Huai with some surprise.
Jiang Huai actually resisted?
Every time he hugged Jiang Huai, Jiang Huai was like a cat that didn’t like being hugged but wouldn’t stretch out its claws.
Today I have turned into a sheep, the kind that will butt people with its horns when things don’t go my way.
What’s wrong with his temper today?
Lu Wusui covered his mouth and looked at Jiang Huai in confusion as he turned away angrily.
Jiang Huai’s temper improved a lot the next day.
He was now in waves of annoyance, sometimes not so annoyed, sometimes extremely annoyed. When he was extremely annoyed, he even destroyed one of his favorite paintings.
Before painting, he had a pretty good idea.
At his level, he could basically draw everything in his mind on paper, but for some reason, he had no inspiration. He tried to put pen to paper several times, but then put it back.
Then he painted the whole picture black.
When Lu Wusui passed by, he commented: “Well, this extreme repressive style is pretty good.”
Jiang Huai: “…”
In the past, he would have been very happy to hear such praise.
They may even ask, “Really? Really?”
But now, although he really wanted to ask, he didn’t want to speak because of inexplicable irritability.
Lu Wusui observed him carefully.
After he finished praising, Jiang Huai silently peeled off the blackened painting, picked up a new one, and started painting seriously.
Maybe it was the power of praise, this time when he picked up the paintbrush, he knew how to paint.
…You seem to be in a better mood today?
Lu Wusui frowned.
In fact, he had sensed something was wrong since yesterday, but he didn’t dare to confirm it.
After observing Jiang Huai for a long time without any results, Lu Wusui picked up his phone and sent a message to the doctor.
[My child has suddenly become very irritable. Could there be something wrong with his body?]
The doctor is also on vacation these two days, so he responded to messages quite quickly.
He was surprised and asked: [You have a child?]
Lu Wusui suppressed the throbbing veins that were about to move: […Jiang Huai.]
[Oh, it’s Young Master Jiang.] The doctor suddenly realized, [Don’t worry. Didn’t we check Young Master Jiang’s body before? Didn’t he have some hormone disorder? The typical symptom is his mood swings.]
Lu Wusui frowned slightly.
Maybe it’s really because of concern that one becomes confused?
He looked at Jiang Huai again.
Jiang Huai was concentrating on painting. His mood had calmed down and his brows looked relaxed.
The breeze blew his soft brown hair, making him look like he was glowing with a soft light.
Lu Wusui touched his head tentatively.
Jiang Huai knocked his hand away.
Lu Wusui: …
Why do I still feel a little worried?
But after hitting his hand, Jiang Huai realized something and looked up at him cautiously.
He seemed to know that he had made a mistake, and there was a tentative look in his eyes. He whispered, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
What else could Lu Wusui do?
Of course I forgive him.
After Jiang Huai got angry at Lu Wusui for inexplicable reasons several times, he finally realized that he had gone too far.
In fact, he didn’t want to lose his temper, but he couldn’t control it for some reason.
Obviously he had never been like this before.
And there were several times when he secretly felt a little nauseous, but he suppressed it every time.
He felt that Lu Wusui might hate him.
Jiang Huai also had a willful phase when he was a child.
At that time, he was the only son in the Jiang family. Jiang Xiu devoted all his attention to him and took care of him wholeheartedly.
It was during that time that Jiang Xiu discovered his “defects” in addition to his physical body, his IQ.
Children like Jiang Huai have two common characteristics when they are not educated.
That is willfulness and stubbornness.
Take Jiang Huai eating, drawing, and hiding in any cabinet as an example. Jiang Xiu corrected him many times, but he still did his own thing and would not be shaken by one or two educations.
These are the problems that have not been changed.
It took Jiang Xiu a lot of effort to change some of these bad habits.
Over time, Jiang Xiu’s patience was worn out and she even lost her temper with him.
”Why are you so stupid? I’ve taught you several times, but why can’t you learn it?!”
”You’re driving me crazy. You’re so stupid. Stop chewing your fingers!”
”How can a child your age have trouble speaking?”
Although Jiang Huai was still young, he could sense the temper and malice in the words.
He would also get angry at such malice.
But after he finished his temper, his evaluation became——
”I’ve given so much to you, I’ve been good enough to you, why are you so willful?”
”You make mom feel sad, you know that?”
”You really are a bad-tempered kid.”
A willful, bad-tempered child.
In fact, Jiang Huai never blamed Jiang Xiu. It was just that when Jiang Huai grew up, he did become well-behaved. However, Jiang Xiu already had Jiang Yu and seemed to no longer need him.
He could gradually feel Jiang Xiu’s love fading away.
Jiang Xiu would never hold his face and say “my dear baby” to him again.
What about Lu Wusui?
He got angry for no reason and hit Lu Wusui’s hand. Would Lu Wusui hate him?
Will his love for me still exist?
It was late at night and Jiang Huai couldn’t sleep.
The night is beautiful today. When I turn sideways and look toward the window, I can see the moon clearly outside the window, hanging high in the sky.
He felt nauseous again and quickly suppressed it.
At this moment, Lu Wusui next to him reached out his hand and touched him tentatively.
After realizing that Jiang Huai did not resist, Lu Wusui raised the corners of his mouth.
He suddenly leaned over and said to Jiang Huai: “I asked the housekeeper for something good today, do you want to know what it is?”
Jiang Huai’s stiff body seemed to gradually warm up as Lu Wusui talked to him.
Lu Wusui…isn’t he angry?
Jiang Huai blinked, holding back his nausea and asked, “What is it?”
It’s not easy.
Seeing that he was in a rare better mood, Lu Wusui took something out of his pocket and shook it in front of Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai: …I thought it was some high-end product.
The result is a bunch of keys.
Lu Wusui seemed to have seen the doubt in his eyes and said, “Tsk, take your drawing board with you. I’ll take you to a place and you’ll understand.”
Before leaving, Lu Wusui paused and put a piece of clothing on Jiang Huai.
Although it is hot in summer, you can still catch a cold if the wind is strong.
The place where Lu Wusui took Jiang Huai was the terrace of the manor.
Because of the lush greenery here, it feels like a paradise. After nightfall, the scenery is not as magnificent as during the day, but it is not bad either.
As soon as you look up, you can see the sky full of stars.
Jiang Huai has lived in the city since he was a child.
This seemed to be the first time he saw so many stars.
”Come here.” Lu Wusui patted his thigh, his meaning was very clear.
Jiang Huai was a little hesitant.
Until Lu Wusui’s face darkened, and he said with a fake smile: “Would you like to come over?”
Jiang Huai: “…”
In the end, I just passed it honestly.
After he sat on Lu Wusui’s legs, Lu Wusui groaned – he overestimated the recovery of the wound, it still hurts a little.
Jiang Huai didn’t understand.
Lu Wusui gritted his teeth and endured it, asking Jiang Huai to take out the scrap draft from the day.
The drawing was pitch black, just like the sky now.
Under Jiang Huai’s curious gaze, Lu Wusui pulled out the paintbrush, looked up at the stars, dipped it in paint, and added a few strokes on the drawing paper.
Jiang Huai was surprised: “You can draw?!”
Not only that, the painting seems to be pretty good.
Before long, Jiang Huai’s scrap draft turned into the night sky, dotted with stars, shining brightly in the night sky.
”I learned it for a while when I was a kid,” Lu Wusou said modestly, “So what? It’s just a painting, isn’t it? If I make some changes, it will become something new. There’s no need to be unhappy, right?”
Jiang Huai was stunned.
At this moment, his slow brain suddenly understood Lu Wusui’s intention of bringing him to the terrace.
Lu Wusui was…trying to make him happy.
But he just got angry at Lu Wusui today.
Even after he had a tantrum, Jiang Xiu might have to stay angry for several days before she could talk to him properly.
Didn’t Lu Wusui love getting angry the most before?
How come he isn’t angry at all?
Lu Wusui held him in his arms, his handsome profile revealing a serious look, his slender fingers holding the paintbrush, frowning from time to time as he changed a stroke or two.
Jiang Huai choked.
He rubbed his hot eyes and whispered, “Or, you should just not change it.”
Lu Wusui stopped writing with some doubt.
”The basic skills are all gone,” Jiang Huai’s voice became smaller and smaller, “…a bit ugly.”
Lu Wusui: “…”
