Chapter 43 The humble young master
Hua Shuming thought carefully about it. He liked Jiang Chu.
In his world, there had never been a person like Jiang Chu. He was fresh and bright, and he lit up his world all at once.
He used to love to keep little celebrities, but after knowing that Jiang Chu and Sheng Xun broke up, he no longer had an affair with anyone and planned to pursue Jiang Chu cleanly.
Seeing Jiang Chu and his uncle sleeping in the same room, he was still fine. What happened to the three people behind him?
Xia Hongyu looked gloomy. Could it be that he also liked Jiang Chu? Well, this boring gourd like him is indeed quite enthusiastic about Jiang Chu. He yearns for Jiang Chu and his normal life.
Shengxun's face turned dark. Isn't he just his ex-boyfriend? What's black? Well, it’s understandable to feel uncomfortable when you see your ex-boyfriend who just broke up with you sleeping in the same room with another man.
Gu Mengchen's face was dark, what was going on with him! Isn't his only relationship with this matter that he is Bai Yueguang who doesn't love anyone?
He should have been depressed, but when he saw each of the three people looking uglier than the last, he felt that he shouldn't have any emotions.
"..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to walk in, Hua Shuming called out: "Jiang Chu."
Jiang Chu and his uncle turned back together.
When Hua Shuming saw his uncle looking over, the words brewed in his mouth for a few seconds and turned into a well-behaved curiosity: "How many beds are there in your room?"
Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows, "Who would put two beds in their bedroom and leave the other one for a ghost to sleep on?"
Hua Shuming: "..."
"That you……"
Xi Qinghe said: "When we first came here, Xianglili didn't have a factory yet. Aunt Jin made stinky tofu at home, and the other two rooms had to be used to store raw tofu and brine tanks, so we lived in one room first. Recently, it has been too I'm busy, as you can see, the guest room hasn't been tidied up yet."
Hua Shuming breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh oh oh! It's best for you two to sleep in the same room now!" Otherwise, whoever Jiang Chu sleeps with will have big problems.
Each one of them had an unclean heart, including himself.
Only his uncle was a clean outsider.
"..."
Jiang Chu and Xi Qinghe entered the room.
During this time, they had been sleeping in the same bed and were almost used to it.
Maybe he would still hold Xi Qinghe to sleep at night, but Xi Qinghe always got up earlier than him, and Su Qingyu didn't feel any embarrassment or discomfort when he woke up.
Shengxun and Gu Mengchen came tonight, and it seemed different.
There is an extra desk in the room, juxtaposed with the original one in front of the window, and an extra laptop. On weekdays, they would sit on the desk at this time, one writing a paper, the other running a shop, and occasionally facing each other to discuss for a while.
Tonight, Su Qingyu sat on a chair, scrolled through her phone for a while, rested her elbows on the desk and looked out the window.
There are two small night lights under the eaves of the courtyard, and the lights are full and warm. The purple platycodon harvested in the afternoon is still on the table in the courtyard. A gust of night wind blows, and the thin petals sway in the wind.
Su Qingyu said: "I said in the afternoon that the flowers I received were not from Shengxun."
After saying this, Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment.
Why did he say such a thing?
Xi Qinghe's fingers on the touch pad of his laptop paused. He said "Hmm" and opened his mouth to say something, then closed his mouth. After a few seconds, he said, "If you're unhappy, I'll let Hua do it tomorrow morning." Shuming took them away."
Su Qingyu: "I'm not unhappy."
It’s good that Seung-hoon is here.
On the one hand, it is convenient for him to capture the repentance value.
Shengxun's biggest problem is that he doesn't think he did anything wrong, and he doesn't realize Jiang Chu's sacrifice.
He regarded Jiang Chu as a substitute and transformed him into another person. He didn't think there was anything wrong. Jiang Chu stayed by his side out of love, but he didn't think anything of it when he was isolated by his colleagues in his company, laughed at by his friends, and scolded by his family.
In addition to the family love that Shengxun has longed for most since he was a child, making Shengxun realize his mistake and recognize Jiang Chu's value is a very critical part.
Sheng Xun came here to make it easier for him to realize this.
On the other hand, Sheng Xun is Jin Wanwan's biological son.
Jin Wanwan is the person Jiang Chu feels most guilty for and wants to make amends with, and is one of Jiang Chu's obsessions.
One of the difficulties in this world is that Jiang Chu loves his mother and Jiang Chu hates Shengxun, but Shengxun is his mother's biological son.
For all the entrusted ghosts who were really wavering, Su Qingyu didn't hesitate at all. The solution was to help them make decisions directly.
The entrusting ghost is troubled and painful. If he hesitates again, this opportunity will be wasted.
There is kindness to repay kindness, and there is hatred to repay revenge. The two collide, and kindness is greater than hatred. There is nothing to worry about.
He wanted Jin Wanwan to meet Shengxun and know the secret that Shengxun was her biological son before she died.
After Jin Wanwan passed away, he would not let Sheng Xun live easily.
Xi Qinghe said "Yeah" and said nothing more.
That night, except for Jin Wanwan, everyone in the three rooms in the courtyard fell asleep very late.
Hua Shuming and Sheng Xun slept on the floor. It was probably the first time for the two young masters to sleep on the floor. They tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, especially Sheng Xun.
He sat up irritably, "Don't you think this room stinks?"
"No?" Hua Shuming took a sniff and said, "This room was originally used to braise stinky tofu, so it might have a bit of a smell. With the windows open, how heavy can it be?"
Shengxun's brows were furrowed and he felt uncomfortable all over, "It's just there, it smells too bad, I can't stand it!"
Hua Shuming also frowned, "Shengxun, you know that the Jiang Chu family makes stinky tofu, right? Even if you knew it, you still followed, so don't talk about the stinky thing and show your resistance on your face. , Aunt Jin is kind enough to take us in, but you are going a bit too far."
Sheng Xun: "Why did I go too far? You dragged me to sleep in this room with stinky tofu, why can't I just say it's stinky?"
"Oh, you don't want to sleep in this room with me. Who do you want to sleep with? Your Bai Yueguang Gu Mengchen, right? You are sleeping in the same bed with your Bai Yueguang at Jiang Chu's house. Have you considered his Are you in the mood?"
Sheng Xun was even more irritated, "I didn't want to sleep with him, I never thought about it!"
He didn't know how to tell Hua Shuming.
In fact, he had known for a long time that Gu Mengchen had returned to China, but he never went to find him.
This meeting, Gu Mengchen was as beautiful as he remembered and imagined, but he only felt guilty when he was with him.
He still wanted to behave well in front of him, and still liked him very much, but he no longer had the strong urge to be with him.
What bothered him was...it had only been two months since Jiang Chu broke up with him, and he was sleeping in the same room with another man! It’s Xi Qinghe who beat him!
Thinking that Jiang Chu was lying on the same bed with him at this moment, Shengxun's heart felt like sulfuric acid was rising, burning.
Shengxun got up from the floor irritably, walked to the window and looked out.
When he looked around, he saw Gu Mengchen standing at the window, looking at the same place as him, Jiang Chu's room.
"..."
Xia Hongyu and Gu Mengchen share a room. They already know each other and have no other thoughts about each other. It is not awkward to share a room.
When he was about to go to bed, Xia Hongyu still couldn't hold it back and asked Gu Mengchen, "What are you doing here?"
Shengxun asked him in the car, but he didn't answer.
Xia Hongyu wanted to know, "You know Jiang Chu is your substitute. Why did you come to see him because you actually care about it? Do you like Shengxun a little bit?"
Xia Hongyu remembered that when Gu Mengchen first returned to China, he told him that he had also considered being with Sheng Xun, so it was possible.
Gu Mengchen: "No."
Xia Hongyu frowned, "Then why? You came all the way here just out of curiosity to see how much your substitute looks like you? Can't you see it online?"
Xia Hongyu is not only a boring gourd, but also very stubborn and must get results.
Gu Mengchen sighed, "I'm not here for him."
"Then who are you here for?" Xia Hongyu thought for a while and said in surprise: "Hua Shuming's uncle Xi Qinghe?!"
Gu Mengchen nodded, "Do you remember the last time I told you that I couldn't be with Shengxun for two reasons? I told you the second reason, and the first reason was him."
Xia Hongyu was so surprised that he couldn't speak. What immediately came to his mind was, do Hua Shuming and Sheng Xun know?
That bastard Hua Shuming definitely didn't know. The last time he mentioned Gu Mengchen, he didn't even know who Gu Mengchen was.
Shengxun probably didn't know either. If he knew, he wouldn't be so calm, even though he wasn't calm tonight either.
Gu Mengchen: "I like him. I have liked him very early. I went abroad because of him. I studied in high school in China. Because he went abroad, I fought with my family to go to the country he went to. This time I returned to China. I also followed him back."
"I said that I considered being with Shengxun, because that year I went abroad with him and was rejected mercilessly by him again. I was heartbroken. At that time, Shengxun happened to visit me across the country. A few days ago, I thought about going out with Shengxun and trying to use Shengxun to quit him, but that was self-deception. When I was more clear-headed, I knew I couldn’t and that would be unfair to Shengxun, so I didn’t do that.”
Xia Hongyu was speechless.
He saw Gu Mengchen walking to the window and looking in the direction of Jiang Chu's room, and then he saw Sheng Xun looking towards that window as well.
"..."
Originally, he thought that Gu Mengchen and Sheng Xun were both here for the same person, and it was a triangle relationship.
Unexpectedly, this is a relationship between two people, and they are not the same person at all!
In other words, this is a triangular relationship between two pairs.
Jiang Chu likes Sheng Xun, and Sheng Xun likes Gu Mengchen.
Sheng Xun likes Gu Mengchen, and Gu Mengchen likes Xi Qinghe.
Xia Hongyu went to bed silently and lay down facing the wall.
He didn't like to hear gossip, so when he heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
An anxious night.
When Su Qingyu woke up the next day, as usual, Xi Qinghe was no longer in bed.
Xi Qinghe had the habit of running in the morning. He would get up early every day and run around the village. Usually when Su Qingyu got up, he would just run home. Occasionally, he would bring some soy milk buns to Su Qingyu.
When Su Qingyu came out of the room today, he had not come back yet.
527 showed a pair of excited gossip eyes: [Host, do you want to know why Xi Qinghe hasn’t come back this morning? 】
Su Qingyu glanced at the door: [Am I such a curious person? 】
527: [……]
As soon as he went out, he saw Xia Hongyu in the pergola who was thinking about something, Shengxun staring at him, and Hua Shuming coming out of the room holding his waist.
Su Qingyu: [It’s so lively. 】
527 Heng Heng: [You don’t know, the fun is still to come. 】
As soon as Jin Wanwan saw him coming out, she invited them to have breakfast, "Let's serve the food first. Qinghe should be back by this time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Qinghe came back, followed by Gu Mengchen.
Hua Shuming said in surprise: "Huh? Uncle, are you running with Gu Mengchen?"
Xia Hongyu: "..."
Xi Qinghe glanced at Su Qingyu who was drinking water, said nothing, put the steamed buns and soy milk he brought back on the table, and went to take a shower.
Hua Shuming was still surprised. He said to Gu Mengchen, "Senior, do you know my uncle? He generally doesn't like to do things with people he doesn't know."
Sheng Xun glanced at Su Qingyu: "Senior, he has the habit of running in the morning. Isn't it normal to run together in this small place?"
Hua Shuming: "Oh oh oh."
Xia Hongyu: "..."
He was a little depressed at first, but now he only felt exciting and painful. He was watching a big show alone and wanted to share but couldn't.
Su Qingyu ate the buns without any expression.
There was only one bathroom in the courtyard. After Xi Qinghe washed up, Gu Mengchen immediately went in to wash up.
Su Qingyu stuffed the last half of the bun into his mouth and took the bowl to the kitchen to fill the porridge without saying a word.
Xi Qinghe also went in with a bowl. Seeing Su Qingyu scooping two tablespoons of porridge into the bowl, he asked, "Don't you want to drink soy milk today?"
Su Qingyu said "hmm".
Xi Qinghe pursed his lips, and when he saw him leaving with the porridge, he subconsciously pulled him in, "I went for a run alone this morning, and I met him when I was about to come back."
Su Qingyu raised his eyes, his peach blossom eyes full of smiles, "Why are you explaining this to me?"
Xi Qinghe was stunned for a moment and took back his hand. Just when he was about to speak, Hua Shuming came in with a bowl and was eating steamed buns. "Uncle, the steamed buns you bought are delicious. I didn't expect there to be such delicious steamed buns here. They are also spicy." It’s beef-flavored, the spiciness is just right, and it’s so fragrant!”
Su Qingyu glanced at the buns in his hand, then left with the porridge.
Hua Shuming glanced at Xi Qinghe's cold face and asked a little timidly: "Uncle, did I say something wrong?"
Fortunately, Jin Wanwan came out of the room at this time and said to them: "You guys eat first, I will go to the factory to have a look. Don't worry about it after eating. Just wait until I come back to clean up. Let Chu Chu take you for a walk."
Hua Shuming immediately said: "Okay, Auntie, please go slowly!"
After Jin Wanwan left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became silent again.
The six men ate breakfast in silence, and the atmosphere was as awkward as it was suffocating.
Su Qingyu said: "After dinner, shall I take you to Xianglili? But I have other things to do, so you can go and wander around on your own."
Hua Shuming immediately said: "Okay!"
Xianglili Factory was not far from home, so they walked there.
Hua Shuming and Xia Hongyu walked at the back. He whispered to Xia Hongyu: "Xia Mumu, this trip is really torture. Why do you think the atmosphere is so tortured and a bit strange?"
He glanced at Xi Qinghe and said, "It's hard to believe that my uncle, an outsider who is engaged in academic circles and has nothing to do with it, was involved."
Xia Hongyu: "..."
In fact, your uncle is not an outsider.
Xia Hongyu wanted to tell Hua Shuming, but Gu Mengchen didn't tell anyone else about it, and he shouldn't tell anyone about his crush on Xi Qinghe without permission.
He was very curious. Gu Mengchen said that he had liked Xi Qinghe very early, at least before they went to high school. After all these years, Hua Shuming didn't know it at all.
He pretended to ask smoothly: "Is your uncle the kind of person who is devoted to academics and has no emotions in his heart?"
Hua Shuming nodded wildly, "Did you see it? My uncle is like this. He is completely opposite to my grandpa. Once, my grandpa brought home a very popular little flower and took it to his room. He had a cold war with my grandpa. For half a year! If my uncle hadn’t personally gone abroad to invite him back, he might have been in the cold war for much longer."
"My little uncle." Hua Shuming concluded: "He is immersed in academics and has no women in his heart."
Xia Hongyu asked quietly, "Where are the men?"
"What?" Hua Shuming said, "It's even more impossible for men. Well, look at my uncle. Isn't he the kind of gentleman in ancient times who only married ladies from famous families?"
Xia Hongyu: "..."
While talking, we arrived at the Xianglili Factory.
Seeing it online is one thing, but experiencing it in person is another.
Seeing many disabled people working with enthusiasm and energy in the factory, and seeing the positive and cheerful crowd in the factory, several people were immediately touched.
Some of the people here are disabled, some are old, and some are poor. They earn a salary of three to four thousand a month, but their faces are filled with happiness and hope.
As soon as they entered the factory gate, those people looked over and their smiles became brighter. Of course, they were not directed at them, but at Jiang Chu and Xi Qinghe, especially Jiang Chu. They looked at him as if they were their savior.
Today is the weekend, and there are several children in the factory. When they saw Jiang Chu, they ran over happily, hugged his legs, and stuffed things into his pockets, including candies, wild flowers, and paintings, and then Standing next to him, looking at them either excitedly and curiously or timidly.
Su Qingyu smiled and rubbed the head of the little girl who was holding his sleeve tightly, and said to them: "This is the second aunt's granddaughter. She doesn't like to talk to others."
A courageous boy said: "He loves to talk to Brother Jiang Chu. She said she wants to marry Brother Jiang Chu when she grows up!"
The little girl lowered her head and hid behind Jiang Chu.
Su Qingyu flicked the back of the little boy's head and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
The little boy said: "I'm not talking nonsense! The girls in our village all want to marry Brother Jiang Chu, and Brother Jiang Chu is the unparalleled hero in their hearts!"
Su Qingyu: "Little brat, do you know what a peerless hero is? Can you write the word peerless?"
The little boy blushed.
Many people in the factory laughed.
"You are a hero!"
"Girl, you have to grow up quickly, or your brother will be snatched away! You don't know how popular he is."
Hua Shuming and others stared blankly at the scene. For some reason, they all felt the significance of Jiang Chu's resolute return at this moment.
In the happy smiling faces, I understand why many people on the Internet say that he is doing a great thing, and why so many people like him crazily.
Shengxun, who was gloomy all the way, also looked at Su Qingyu blankly.
He remembered his grandfather's words that he had greater value and a broader stage.
It's not that he hasn't seen how people on the Internet praise him, but at this moment, he truly felt that so many people liked him from the bottom of their hearts and were grateful to him. Only then did he truly understand this sentence and truly get to know Jiang Chu again. No one else Shadow, shining Jiang Chu.
527: [Host, repentance value +6, total repentance value 65, we passed! 】
Su Qingyu turned to look at Shengxun, and Shengxun immediately looked away.
He smiled inexplicably and said, "You can go shopping on your own, we have other things to do."
He turned to Xi Qinghe and said, "Let's talk to Lao Yang about our thoughts yesterday?"
Xi Qinghe nodded, "I'll call him."
As soon as Su Qingyu said that they could go shopping by themselves, Hua Shuming immediately dragged Xia Hongyu to go shopping. Shengxun did not leave, but followed Su Qingyu. I don't know why Gu Mengchen didn't leave either.
When Xi Qinghe called Lao Yang, Sheng Xun hesitated to speak to Gu Mengchen.
At first, he was afraid that Gu Mengchen would know Jiang Chu's existence, and he would feel uneasy when he knew that Gu Mengchen was coming to Xiangli County. Now he is not so afraid, and still doesn't want the two of them to get along more.
When Gu Mengchen came to Jiang Chu, it wasn't like he hadn't thought that Gu Mengchen actually cared. If he had known this before, he would have been extremely happy, but now, he was only nervous.
Gu Mengchen just glanced at him and walked directly to Jiang Chu.
Shengxun became even more nervous, staring closely at their expressions.
Fortunately, Xi Qinghe brought Lao Yang here quickly. Gu Mengchen didn't say anything, and Sheng Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Yang is the know-it-all in the village. He used to work in the village committee. He knows the people and things in the village and neighboring villages very well, and his words are very meaningful.
Su Qingyu and Xi Qinghe told him about renting land in the village to build a Chuanshanlong planting demonstration base.
Lao Yang may not have realized the significance of this matter so quickly, but Sheng Xun did, and Gu Mengchen slowly realized it while listening to their stories.
They looked at the person who was seriously talking to Lao Yang about this matter, with different thoughts.
Jiang Chu didn't stop at fragrant lili. The planting demonstration base was good, but it didn't make money. Jiang Chu really wanted to build his hometown well and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in his hometown, not just for money.
Gu Mengchen looked at this person who looked very similar to him, talking to Xi Qinghe about their plans and prospects in tacit agreement, and looked down at his white canvas shoes.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that I was useless except for dancing.
He followed Xi Qinghe back to China, but he couldn't find Xi Qinghe the next day. Only when he saw Weibo did he know where he had gone.
The photo of him and Jiang Chu on Weibo shocked him. He had liked him for so many years, but he had never seen such an expression on his face.
He immediately sensed the difference between Jiang Chu and Xi Qinghe.
Jiang Chu's appearance gave him room for fantasy. Jiang Chu looked very similar to him.
He knew Xi Qinghe very well. Xi Qinghe didn't know Jiang Chu before. Why was he willing to go to his hometown to help him even if he didn't know him? Is it because of his looks?
He wanted to come to Xi Qinghe immediately, but he resisted the urge. He endured it for a long time and thought a lot, but finally couldn't control himself and came to him.
He was a little panicked when he saw them living in the same room last night, and now he was even more panicked.
In comparison with Jiang Chu, he felt his own uselessness.
He cannot be like Jiang Chu, who likes to do what he likes and pursue his dreams.
He would just follow him step by step.
Gu Mengchen, who was getting more and more flustered, didn't hear what they were saying behind him. When Xi Qinghe went to see off Lao Yang, he immediately followed him.
Shengxun glanced at Gu Mengchen in surprise, but now there was finally no one else. He didn't think about anything else and immediately seized the opportunity to talk to Jiang Chu. When he came up, he asked angrily: "Chu Chu, how can you sleep with Xi Qinghe?" bed!"
"Last time in City B, Xi Qinghe went to the community where you lived to look for you and even beat me. What is your relationship?"
Su Qingyu listened to him with a smile for a while, then looked at him tenderly, and when Shengxun's heart suddenly jumped, he said slowly: "It's none of your business."
Shengxun: "..."
Sheng Xun became angry and his voice suddenly became louder, "What do you mean it's none of my business!"
Su Qingyu: "I have broken up with you. Who I share a bed with or even go to bed with has nothing to do with you."
"What did you say!" Sheng Xun was distracted by the word "go to bed", "Jiang Chu, please explain clearly to me, you..."
Half of what he said was stuck in his mouth. He found that not far behind him, several people were staring at him with unkind expressions. Some were holding fire sticks, some were holding shovels, and some were holding kitchen knives. It looked like he If you dare to speak loudly to Jiang Chu again, they will rush up and beat him to death.
Shengxun: "..."
Su Qingyu smiled at him, turned around and walked to the group of people.
Sheng Xun stood there and waited until Su Qingyu finished speaking to the group of people and the group dispersed before following Su Qingyu.
He didn't know where Su Qingyu was going, so he just followed him. After walking for a while, he said, "I actually don't want to do that. I actually...actually, I want to explain to you, Gu Mengchen, he, I..."
Su Qingyu turned to look at him, and Sheng Xun was speechless as soon as she met his eyes.
Su Qingyu waited for him quietly for a few minutes. Seeing that he still couldn't say anything, she picked up her feet and continued walking.
Sheng Xun hurriedly followed him. He mentally drafted what he wanted to say. When he was about to say it, he suddenly saw Su Qingyu stopped at the door.
Immediately, he knew why he had stopped, and he heard the voice on the other side of the door, and it was familiar.
Gu Mengchen: "Brother Qinghe, why? Can you tell me what I did that wasn't good enough?"
Xi Qinghe: "I'm sorry, I really don't like you. You should go back today."
Gu Mengchen: "I won't leave! Xi Qinghe, I have liked you for ten years! Do you know ten years! Do you know how I have liked you for these ten years! Because you are good at dancing, I have been practicing classical music for nine years Wu, because you like white, I don’t have clothes of other colors in my wardrobe, and because you hate the entertainment industry, I gave up the opportunity to enter the entertainment industry, isn’t that enough?”
