    Chapter 27 Believe Will you believe it?

    As soon as they left, Yu You couldn’t help but ask Jiang Xunzhou: “Husband, shouldn’t our engagement be kept secret?”

    “My second uncle couldn’t think about it himself, so he was going to hit the gun.” Jiang Xunzhou sneered coldly, “It was only a matter of time before they knew it, so I told them in advance, just to make them feel uncomfortable. It is estimated that during this period, my two uncles will have trouble sleeping because of the equity issue.”

    The news spread quickly. As soon as the two of them returned to the villa after eating, they received an impatient call from Jiang Mingyan: “Brother! Why do I hear there are rumors outside that you and Xiaoyu are getting engaged? Is it true?”

    Jiang Xunzhou said: “Really.”

    “Wow!”

    Jiang Mingyan was shocked: “During the Chinese New Year, my aunt was still worried that you would not go on the blind date arranged by her, and that you would die alone. How come you are about to get engaged to Xiaoyu in the blink of an eye? Is it progressing so fast?”

    Jiang Mingyan hung up the call in a daze, and then Su Qiuling called and complained: “You kid, when did you and the old man decide this matter, why didn’t you let us know first? We parents still found out about the engagement between you and Xiaoyu from others. What’s this like?”

    Jiang Xunzhou said: “I was chatting with the old man this morning. I was in a hurry, so I brought it up before I had time to tell you.”

    Su Qiuling was so angry that she almost couldn’t bring herself to say it in one breath: “What are you talking about? Are you talking about such an important thing?! That means you don’t even have to propose, and you are not afraid of wronging others!”

    Yu You hurried over to help and said, “Auntie is fine, I won’t feel wronged.”

    After hearing this, Su Qiuling felt even more sympathetic.

    She originally thought that Yu You was young, well-behaved and sensible, and that his family had no background. Her son was more like the one who bullied others and took advantage of him. Now he was so badass that he even skipped the marriage proposal ceremony and took him home directly.

    If the two really sit down and mention the engagement to the couple, Su Qiuling will probably still hesitate that the two have been in love for a short time. It is too hasty to get engaged so soon. Now her mind is filled with anger: “Jiang Xunzhou! Make a grand engagement ceremony for me. Why should it be grand? Our family can’t do such bullying! Do you hear me?”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes flashed with a smile: “Okay.”

    After hanging up the call, Yu You was a little worried: “Auntie seems to be very angry.”

    Jiang Xunzhou was careless and didn’t take it to heart: “I skipped them and mentioned it directly to the old man. Now everyone knows about it, and they finally realized that it is normal to be angry.”

    He pinched Yu You’s face again and asked, “What kind of engagement ceremony do you want?”

    Yu You had never thought about this problem, and his imagination about starting a family was completely blank, and he looked hesitant.

    Two people are together for their own needs, but they will eventually separate. It is best to avoid making it known to everyone.

    Yu You said: “Simpler, right?”

    “That won’t work.” Jiang Xunzhou flatly refused, “You also heard what my mother just said. If the engagement ceremony was simple, she would probably think that I bullied you again and she would have to settle the score with me.”

    Yu You hesitated: “Then…”

    “Since you don’t have any ideas, leave it to me.” Jiang Xunzhou looked calm and rubbed Yu You’s fingertips. “On the day of the engagement ceremony, you can arrive.”

    Yu You didn’t have any expectations for the engagement ceremony. He was very clear about his definition of a tool and nodded: “Okay.”

    Jiang Xunzhou hummed: “Would you like to change into a bathrobe? I’ll take you to the hot springs.”

    Yu You’s eyes lit up and he nodded fiercely: “Okay, okay.”

    A bathrobe changing room and a separate shower room are thoughtfully prepared at the entrance of the hot spring villa area.

    Yu You went to take a hot shower first, his cheeks were warm, he wrapped himself in a thin bathrobe, and was walking out briskly, when the thin skin on the side of his neck suddenly jumped, and a sudden sharp electric current was pierced, and it suddenly spread throughout his body.

    Yu You couldn’t stand still and fell to the ground. There was a vague pain in his twisted ankle, but a stream of heat jumped up from the tailbone. The blood all over his body was burning like lava, and even his fingertips were warm.

    The rich aroma of iris fills the air quietly.

    The air seemed to be squeezing unbearably, and every inch of skin was numb and itchy, burning with the desire to be soothed.

    Waves of love surged up one after another, impacting his whole body. The young man curled up into a ball, clutching the hem of his clothes with his pinky fingertips, and a pitiful groan of pain escaped from the corners of his biting lips.

    “Baby?”

    Jiang Xunzhou heard the movement outside, shouted twice and found no response, pressed the doorknob, and rushed in, his pupils suddenly dilated.

    The young man curled up on the marble floor in embarrassment. His bathrobe was scattered, revealing a bit of snow-white shoulders. The hem of the clothes was completely lifted up, and the skin all over his body showed a beautiful powder. There was a wet and transparent water between the upright snow peaks, exuding a sweet and alluring fragrance.

    Jiang Xunzhou’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong. His eyes were fixed on his abnormally bent ankle, and his expression suddenly became nervous: “Did you twist your ankle?”

    “Well…”

    Yu You raised his crimson face, and his unfocused eyes barely recognized who it was. He stretched out his slender arms and begged aggrievedly and coquettishly: “Husband, I want to hug…”

    Jiang Xunzhou hugged him into his arms, feeling sticky in his palms. He lowered his head and gently pressed his forehead against Yu You’s, feeling a strange heat.

    “It’s so hot…”

    Yu You murmured, feeling that the temperature on Jiang Xunzhou’s face was just right. He pressed his hot soft cheek against it, rubbing the tip of his nose randomly, whimpering, and looking like he was trying not to cry: “It feels so uncomfortable, and my feet hurt so much…”

    Jiang Xunzhou quickly coaxed: “I’ll get the medical kit and take you back to your room to bandage you. It won’t hurt in a while.”

    This time the passion period came without any warning and was so fierce that Yu You was completely irrational.

    During the short walk upstairs, he was still restless while curled up in Jiang Xunzhou’s arms. He put his arms around the man’s shoulders, raised his face for a while, rubbed his chin back and forth with his soft lips, and lowered his head again, like a kitten, sniffing everywhere with the tip of his wet nose. His voice was a soft cry: “Want…”

    Jiang Xunzhou was so worried by him that he hugged him tightly and quickened his pace. He whispered comfort while returning to the bedroom.

    The bedroom has been arranged with vetiver aromatherapy in advance, filling it with a refreshing and pleasant aroma.

    Jiang Xunzhou put Yu Yougang on the bed and helped him look at his ankles.

    He used to like to play extreme sports when he was in college abroad. He had extensive experience in dealing with sprains. He judged that no bones were injured and breathed a sigh of relief. He gave the boy medicine and bandaged it.

    Yu You came closer again, eagerly opening his hands for a hug. He couldn’t stay away from the person for a moment, and he was so aggrieved that he almost cried: “Hubby, please hug me, don’t you want me?…”

    “Baby.”

    Jiang Xunzhou supported the bed with one hand, half-kneeling beside the bed, and pinched Yu You’s chin with one hand. His eyes were dim and his voice was inexplicably hoarse: “Do you recognize who I am?”

    Yu You said anxiously: “I recognize you. You have vetiver pheromones on your body. You are my partner Alpha and my dear husband.”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s fingertips brushed against Yu You’s red lips, and he asked coaxingly: “What’s your husband’s name?”

    Yu You was confused for a moment, but he answered obediently: “It’s…Jiang Xunzhou.”

    “Good baby.”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s voice was filled with a pleasant smile. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of Yu You’s lips: “Pick up your bathrobe and sit on your husband’s face.”

    Time seemed to become gentle and long, and the ambiguous sound of licking and sucking was echoed by the vague whimpering.

    Jiang Xunzhou finally raised his face. His handsome face was dripping with spring water from the corners of his eyebrows, and his thin lips were abnormally red.

    His voice was low and gentle, and he touched Yu You’s face with his palm: “Why are you crying so hard this time?”

    Yu You stared at him blankly, his long black eyelashes were wet and sticky, the ends of his eyes were red, and his face was covered with wet tears, and he opened his mouth: “Hot spring…”

    He vaguely remembered that the two of them were going to the hot springs.

    “Is that why? The hot springs are here, and they won’t grow legs and run away.” Jiang Xunzhou wiped the tears on Yu You’s face with his palms and said patiently, “It’s not too late to go there anytime, don’t cry.”

    Yu You’s brain was as chaotic as paste. It took a lot of effort to understand what Jiang Xunzhou was talking about, and he slowly laughed and hummed.

    Jiang Xunzhou asked: “Do you want to kiss?”

    Yu You nodded: “Yes.”

    He opened a pair of clean eyes and his lips were red: “I like to kiss my husband.”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s expression softened a bit, he lowered his head, put it against the corner of Yu You’s lips, sucked and licked it slowly, as if tasting a fruit juice-flavored candy.

    Yu You almost indulged in this gentle kiss, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he responded clumsily and greenly, until the suppressed love surged up again, becoming uncontrollably passionate and eager for more.

    Jiang Xunzhou naturally felt this change, and finally kissed Yu You’s lips with a comforting meaning.

    Yu You hummed aggrievedly and uneasily: “Husband…”

    “I know.” Jiang Xunzhou smiled and lowered his voice to coax, “Just leave it to me.”

    For four or five days, the two of them never stepped out, and the curtains in the master bedroom were always closed.

    The day before the old man’s birthday party, Jiang Qingyan finally contacted Jiang Xunzhou.

    Jiang Xunzhou’s lazy voice came: “Brother, what’s wrong?”

    Jiang Qingyan’s tone was complicated: “Tomorrow is the old man’s birthday party, haven’t you forgotten?”

    The closer the old man’s birthday banquet was, the more guests arrived, many of whom were friends who had known each other since childhood. In addition, the news that Jiang Xunzhou was getting engaged to a starlet was making a big fuss. They all wanted to catch up with Jiang Xunzhou, but no one could get through Jiang Xunzhou’s phone number, and they couldn’t find anyone. They asked Jiang Qingyan.

    Jiang Qingyan was still afraid that something would happen, so he went and knocked on the door himself.

    As a result, Jiang Xunzhou came to open the door, wrapped in a loose nightgown, and the ties were tightly knotted. It was obvious at a glance that they had been tied up in a hurry, not to mention the messy hickeys and bright red scratches on his chest.

    Who can understand what they are busy with?

    Jiang Xunzhou also awkwardly explained: “Baby Xiaoyu sprained his foot. He can’t go out during this period. I will accompany him to recuperate.”

    Last time it was an illness, this time it was a sprain.

    OK.

    Jiang Qingyan didn’t say a word, but turned to ask his Australian partners to buy a few more boxes of kangaroo essence capsules. He was afraid that they would have too much fun and forget about business, so he called the day before to remind them.

    “I haven’t forgotten.”

    Jiang Xunzhou glanced at the young man who was sleeping soundly in his arms and said, “Brother, if someone asks tomorrow why I haven’t shown up in the past few days, just say that I am sick and the little fish baby is with me to recuperate.”

    “Isn’t it a little late for you to come up with excuses now?” Jiang Qingyan couldn’t help but asked, “Many people have asked me about this in the past few days. What I’m saying is that you and Xiao Yu are discussing the engagement during this time, and they are very busy.”

    Jiang Xunzhou answered simply and neatly: “Brother is still thoughtful. Yes, I am preparing to get engaged during this period, so I am very busy.”

    After hanging up the call, Jiang Xunzhou put the phone aside. Yu You squeezed into his arms in a daze and murmured twice.

    Jiang Xunzhou touched his face to make sure that the low-grade fever had passed, then put the man into his arms again and fell asleep together.

    In the afternoon, Yu You woke up in a daze. After being confused for a long time, he finally remembered his excessive demands for memories in the past few days. He hurriedly turned on the bedside lamp and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the time on the electronic clock clearly.

    “What’s wrong?”

    Jiang Xunzhou’s low, tired voice sounded, and he sat up, his broad shoulders covered with scratches.

    Yu You was stunned: “I, I’m afraid of missing the old man’s birthday party…”

    “Don’t miss it, the birthday party is tomorrow.”

    Jiang Xunzhou pulled Yu You into his arms with a calm expression: “Baby, does your foot still hurt?”

    Yu You felt it for himself, then stumbled and said: “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

    He was a little nervous, afraid that Jiang Xunzhou would ask him what was strange these days, but Jiang Xunzhou only asked: “Are you hungry? I asked the restaurant to send food over.”

    “A little hungry.” Yu You hesitated for a moment, and after Jiang Xunzhou finished making the call to place an order, he mustered up the courage to ask, “Don’t you think it’s strange?”

    Jiang Xunzhou looked down at him: “What’s weird?”

    “That’s right, we both agreed to go to the hot springs.”

    Yu You hesitated: “But I’m holding you here…”

    “You sprained your foot, and you can’t go out. You can only rest in bed.” Jiang Xunzhou’s thin lips slightly lifted, “After all, there are no entertainment activities here, so you can only attack me frantically. I understand.”

    Yu You was stunned.

    Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why, isn’t it because you are greedy for my body and can’t resist the temptation that my body brings to you?”

    Yu You closed his eyes, swallowed his anger, and was forced to admit in humiliation: “Yes, it’s me, who is greedy for my husband’s body, crazy and unable to resist the temptation…”

    Jiang Xunzhou couldn’t help it any longer, laughed softly, and pinched the soft flesh on Yu You’s cheek.

    Yu You was choked to tears.

    How could there be such shameless people in this world!

    But he couldn’t refute it. He dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so he could only accept the big pot aggrievedly.

    The next day, it was time for the birthday banquet.

    Yu You followed Jiang Xunzhou to the banquet. In front of everyone, Mr. Jiang publicly announced the transfer of equity.

    In the uproar, Yu You noticed with his eyes that his second uncle’s face was dark with anger. Standing next to him was the uncle who seemed to have been mentioned by Jiang Xunzhou. He clapped and celebrated with everyone, but looked at Yu You as coldly as a snake.

    Jiang Xunzhou also noticed it, stood a step closer, and quietly blocked his uncle’s gaze.

    At the end of the birthday banquet, Mr. Jiang specially called them both over and told them to value peace, be considerate of each other, and live a good life in the future.

    Finally, he meaningfully said to Jiang Xunzhou: “Being young is not a reason to be indulgent. Everything must be done in a certain manner. There are so many principles of being in charge of things, but how come you have forgotten them all when you are here?”

    Jiang Xunzhou didn’t expect that the old man also knew about this. He looked embarrassed and coughed: “You are right.”

    Yu You’s head was lowered, his ears were red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He could only secretly be glad that Jiang Xunzhou still gave him face, and would not expose in front of his elders that he was crazy and greedy for Jiang Xunzhou’s body.

    After returning home, Jiang Xunzhou had to be busy with the group’s equity issues and the engagement ceremony of the two. He left early and came home late. Although he lived under the same roof, he and Yu You rarely saw each other.

    The campus drama starring Yu You has been scheduled. After the broadcast date was finalized, it entered the promotion period.

    The storyline related to the third male role is highly controversial, popular and highly anticipated. In addition, the news of Yu You and Jiang Xunzhou’s engagement has been released, and it has become the focus of the media for a while. Yu You has also been involved in the promotion plan of broadcasting Rilianmai Live.

    On the day of the live broadcast of the drama, Jiang Mingyan, as the heroine, was also among them. She was quite lively and took the initiative to lead the conversation.

    The main purpose of the promotional event was to sell the male and female protagonists’ CPs. There were six people in the live broadcast room, which was very lively. Yu You was paddling in the water with peace of mind, and only responded obediently when Jiang Mingyan cue him.

    Occasionally, there were comments discussing him in the lower left corner of the live broadcast room.

    [Baby Xiaoyu can handle such a death live broadcast angle, this face is so punchable…】

    [Is there any baby fish appearing in the first episode?】

    [I specially pulled to the back to take a look!There are some!Beautiful and super reassuring!】

    The screen showed just the moment when Yu You appeared.

    On a rainy day, the young man was wearing a white shirt and trousers, and was carried by a butler in a luxury car under an umbrella. His clean and dignified demeanor formed a strong contrast with the dirty male protagonist next to him who was stumbling and rolling in muddy water.

    [At this time, the third male lead was still a kind-hearted young master. When he saw the male protagonist, he got out of the car to help him. Who would have thought that he would just rescue the real young master…]

    [How proud the young master was in the early stage, but how embarrassed he was in the later stage when he found out his false identity]

    [Now that I’m taking out a loan, I’m feeling distressed, but when I think about what the young master did in the later period, I feel that he’s so abominable]

    The topic in the live broadcast room naturally led to Yu You. Yu You responded with a few words, but his attention was attracted by the passing barrage.

    [Help, this shot of the young master is really a beauty attack!!With this face, no matter how many wrong things you do, you can’t help but blame him!!】

    [Wow, the young master looks delicious. If there are pheromones, it must be a sweet strawberry cake…]

    Yu You’s heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and his brain went blank. He subconsciously muttered and repeated: “…pheromone?”

    Another actor in the live broadcast room noticed the barrage and asked in confusion: “What are pheromones?”

    The barrage in the lower left corner came to life so quickly that it was dazzling and impossible to see clearly.

    Jiang Mingyan explained thoughtfully: “I can see that you guys haven’t kept up with the recent Internet speed – it’s a very popular fan setting that has recently been spread from abroad! It’s super interesting, it’s a world view called ABO!”

    Yu You’s heartbeat was beating like a drum, like thunder. It was heavier and faster. He was so nervous that it felt like it could jump out of his chest. His palms were sweating, and his whole body looked dull.

    Familiar terms popped up from Jiang Mingyan one after another, and several other actors didn’t surf the Internet much. When they heard it for the first time, they frequently made a sound of realization.

    Jiang Mingyan said confidently: “In fan fiction, I must be the female A!”

    In the comments, a fan took the initiative to ask her what flavor of pheromone she wanted.

    Jiang Mingyan’s eyes shone, she sniffed, and said eagerly: “I’ve been losing weight recently, and my manager won’t let me eat this or that. If you write a fanfic for me, can you arrange a snail powder-flavored pheromone for me? That way, I can smell it myself and satisfy my cravings!”

    The live broadcast room was full of laughter and laughter, and several other actors also responded to the barrage of questions and proactively mentioned the type of pheromones they wanted.

    Jiang Mingyan took the initiative to cue Yu You: “Xiaoyu, what identity and pheromones do you want?”

    The barrage was discussed enthusiastically.

    [Baby Xiaoyu, do you still need to ask?It must be O. No need to think about it!】

    [Our little fish baby looks like a fragrant and soft little O!!Mommy doesn’t allow you to have another gender!!】

    [Pheromone requires peach!】

    [I want a sweet strawberry cake!】

    “My pheromones are not peach or strawberry cake.”

    Yu You’s eyebrows were curved, he looked at the camera and said seriously: “It’s an iris flower.”

    【Okay!I smell it, it’s a baby fish with the scent of iris!】

    [Go away, go away, and let me smell it too]

    【Iris flowers are fragrant, I like them very much too!】

    The one-hour live broadcast promotion event has ended.

    The first thing Yu You did was to go to the study room to borrow Jiang Xunzhou’s computer to look up information. His steps were eager as he walked there.

    He sat down and searched carefully, and found that, as Jiang Mingyan said, it was a fan setting that had recently become popular and spread from abroad. The source could not be found, but it was widely spread and discussed everywhere.

    There are even many people who believe this is true and happily jump out to say that the person they like never wears perfume, but has a special fragrance on his body, perhaps because of the presence of pheromones.

    There are also some hot experts who argue that pheromones are similar to hormones, and certain groups of people can smell each other’s scent.

    Yu You’s brain was in chaos, and his whole person was nervous.

    Is it possible that there are people here like him from another world, and then spread it out in a form of fan creation?

    Otherwise, how could the related terms and the entire worldview be so complete?

    In this panic, the figure of a person flashed in my mind, and then I couldn’t get it out of my mind.

    Yu You bit his lip, lowered his head and sent a message to Jiang Xunzhou: [Husband, are you busy?】

    After a short while, I received a reply from the other party.

    Jiang Xunzhou: [Working in the office, not busy now, what’s wrong?】

    Yu You’s tone was a bit cautious and probing: [Have you heard about the ABO world view fan setting that is very popular recently?】

    Jiang Xunzhou: [I’ve heard of it a little bit.】

    Yu You became even more nervous: [Then what do you think?】

    Jiang Xunzhou: [What do you want me to think?】

    Yu You: [Exactly, don’t you think it’s particularly unreal?】

    Jiang Xunzhou: [No.】

    Jiang Xunzhou: [In physics, there is a theory of multiverse parallel time and space. Maybe in a certain time and space, such a world does exist, but we cannot confirm it.】

    Yu You: [So, do you believe that such a world really exists?】

    His heartbeat was pounding faster, his eyes were shining with an eagerness that he didn’t even know he had, and his fingertips were tightly curled into his palms, hoping for an answer.

    The flow of time seemed to have been slowed down, and the passage of every minute and every second became extremely painful.

    Yu You received Jiang Xunzhou’s reply.

    Just one word.

    【Can.】

    Note
