Chapter 283: 283

From when Qingyun was young, the old man would squint at him and then solemnly say, "Boy, you can boldly make trouble for me, our family doesn’t have much but we have strong backing. No matter how big a mess you make, I, this old bones, am here to clean up after you." Zhuge Qingyun truly lived up to that; he knew to hold the hands of pretty female teachers when he was only five, and dared to fight with older kids at the age of seven. Every time he would return home covered in mud, and before his parents could even scold him, he would dash into the kitchen, grab a kitchen knife, and storm out, terrifying his father who quickly hugged him. This was a recipe for disaster indeed. Later, in high school, the way he made mistakes also levelled up, and on the day he lost his virginity, he planted the first seed of his life. That really put the old man in a tough spot because he impregnated someone... Admit it, it was embarrassing. Not admit? Even more embarrassing. In the end, it was still Qingyun who went to apologize in person. Once in university, without anyone to discipline him, after two years, Qingyun saw through the "fooling people" nature of university education. So, to no longer endure this intellectual suffocation, Zhuge Qingyun simply boarded a train north without a word.

The old man was really out of options this time, all he wanted was to nurture a real man for the Mo Family, ensuring that the family would not face declination due to a lack of capable people for at least a hundred years. But he ended up raising a Sun Wukong instead. That really caught him off guard.

In fact, he was right on point. Many people in Tianhe City were eagerly waiting to see the Tang Family become a laughingstock. It would have been alright if Tang Guoqing’s daughter was merely disobedient, and running away from home could even be overlooked, but she ended up dealing Tang Guoqing a severe blow by selecting her own fiancé, causing Old Master Tang Guoqing to lose face massively during his celebrations in front of all the important people in Tianhe. That definitely became an obstacle on his promotion path.

Now, the matter of Tang Su marrying Ye Tian has become widely known, there’s no one who doesn’t know about it.

Ye Tian and Shen Jingwei were sitting on chairs and chatting leisurely about the climate in the Northeast, about the customs and people of Russia, about the wastelands by the Yalu River, and various other topics. But more often than not, they were just looking at each other, making it quite uncomfortable for outsiders to watch; after all, these were two grown men staring at each other, which made people feel quite odd. After being scolded by Zhuge Qingyun, Long Daxiang truly no longer acted as the stool again, he was actually afraid he might break it as after all, the furniture here was of personal home use, not military supplies from the army, and characterized by high quality and durability; breaking it here would be rather disrespectful to Brother Wei. After much thought, he decisively sat down directly onto the floor tiles, his large body resembling a huge mound on the ground. Even though winter solstice had passed, the temperature inside was not as cold as outside, sitting on the ground was not a big deal for him since he had crawled on icy fields of minus thirty degrees Celsius.

The living room in the house was aligned with the front door, where there was an aquarium with two small goldfish and some other creatures inside.

"May there be surplus year after year, and peace every year." These were pleasing Huaxian phrases, and Ye Tian liked them too, so he brought a set of fishing equipment from the supermarket, along with a huge aquarium, placed right at the entrance. This was to dissolve some negative influences and ward off evil spirits, whatever those negative things were, Ye Tian didn’t know exactly, he just went with what people said, better to believe it exists than not.

The fish tank housed a few small goldfish with lion-head types, gifted by Lin Jingran, said to be quite valuable. The bottom of the tank had a layer of sand and a relatively large stone, and occasionally one or two turtles, clumsy in appearance, would pop out. Long Daxiang, a tall figure, stood up from the floor and approached the tank, tapping on the glass, but the fish inside didn’t react. They looked quite cute.

Long Daxiang stretched out a hand and placed it against the tank, spreading his fingers and pressing them tightly against the glass. Some of the fish swam away while others continued to circle around within the tank, seemingly confused. Long Daxiang’s large, clumsy fingers picked up a red "lantern bubble" goldfish, played with it for a while, watching it slip through the gaps between his fingers.

As for Zhuge Qingyun, he stood by the wall all alone, quietly standing there without doing anything else. When Tang Su returned, she saw Ye Tian and Shen Jingwei looking at each other, Long Daxiang with a big hand playing with the fish in the tank, his bear-like body thoroughly enjoying himself with the two small fish, this sight quite bizarre, his large face almost sticking to the water surface. Compared to him, Zhuge Qingyun seemed the most normal. Indeed, it was lucky it was Tang Su, if it had been another woman, she would have chased these people out as lunatics long ago.

The dinner prepared was abundant, twice the usual amount, but facing someone like Long Daxiang, the quantity didn’t seem as much. Four big men quickly cleared the dishes off the table like a storm. Long Daxiang patted his belly, now six and a half full, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face. Shen Jingwei dismissed the two of them, asking them to find somewhere else to stay, unaffected by Ye Tian and Tang Su’s attempts to retain them. Eventually, after dinner, as Zhuge and his companion left, Tang Su somewhat blushingly told Shen Jingwei, "Jingwei, sleep in Ye Tian’s study tonight. The bed, small as it is, should suffice."

Ye Tian felt a surge of joy at her words, interpreting them as the possibility of sleeping in the same room with her tonight. However, this was accompanied by a sense of loss. To this point, he hadn’t yet slept in Tang Su’s bed. Even being in the same room didn’t seem allowed. Alas, such a failure as a husband!

And in the end, Ye Tian once again missed the chance to share a room with Tang Su, but it hardly mattered. Even if they shared a room, Ye Tian would end up sleeping on the floor alone. Whenever he thought about the woman in a translucent nightgown with a graceful figure on the bed behind him, it felt like a cat was scratching at his heart, unbearably itchy. Now, sleeping in the same room as Shen Jingwei might actually be better.

"Where did they go?" Ye Tian was talking about the two people who came with Shen Jingwei.

"They went to find a place for themselves. As long as they don’t die, it’s fine." Shen Jingwei diligently made the bed for his uncle, then lay down on one side, leaving the other half of the bed for Ye Tian. He wore a pair of green military boxers, topless, revealing large blocks of muscle and scars.
