Chapter 75

Yu Yao couldn't drive him away, he just told him to wash the dishes after holding them.

The young master's five fingers have been educated by his mother so that he is not awkward in doing housework, and he can even cook by himself.For Xu Zhiyuan, these orders were originally simple matters.But at this moment, he became "spoiled" in front of Yu Yao, relying on the fact that his birthday was about to be celebrated, he did nothing.

But after not being idle for a long time, Li Anrong returned home and took his idle son to his uncle to help.Xu Zhiyuan, who had his ear hurt, was not happy anymore, he pulled the door frame and said: "You put me and my uncle together, you are not afraid of anything happening."

"..." Li Anrong was most afraid that his son would hide his depression. If he was willing to tease him casually like this, it would mean that there was nothing serious. If you are asked to work, you will have a stomach full of reasons, and who did you learn from?"

Yu Yao spared no time to say something to Xu Zhiyuan, and said, "An Rong, let him play, I'll do it myself."

Before Xu Zhiyuan could feel complacent, Yu Yao added: "His coming to help is also adding to the chaos."

Xu Zhiyuan: "?"

The little bastard took a shot and went to the kitchen to prove himself, but was caught by his mother halfway back and pushed back on the sofa.

"Okay, don't trouble A Yao anymore," Li Anrong said, "Just sit down and let me tell you something."

"what?"

"Xu Zhenping will be back the day after tomorrow..."

Hearing "the day after tomorrow", Xu Zhiyuan glanced at her and asked tentatively, "What are you doing back here?"

"Because of business." Li Anrong said, "Miao Chang will also come to Huai City when the time comes, she will arrive a little earlier, probably tomorrow. The two of you will meet first." She carefully observed Xu Zhiyuan's small expression, "What's the matter? .”

Xu Zhiyuan said: "Don't you think the day after tomorrow is an important day?"

"What day?"

"It's okay." Xu Zhiyuan's self-indulgent surprise disappeared, he leaned back on the soft sofa, and said, "Who is Miaochang?"

"Meng Che's daughter, Meng Miaochang." Li Anrong said, "You should have an impression, when you were young..."

"I have no impression." Xu Zhiyuan tilted his head on the sofa, said, and scoffed, "You are still thinking about this, you and Xu Zhenping really want this daughter-in-law."

"Yes," Li Anrong said earnestly with her eyelashes drooping, "I haven't joked with you since I proposed it."

Xu Zhiyuan's originally good mood sparked a small flame, and he asked: "After the meeting, what do you plan to do?"

Li Anrong said without hesitation: "After getting along well, discussing an engagement date, according to your ideas, can only be delayed for a year at the latest."

"I don't like her, it's impossible for you to urge her any more."

"Slowly get used to it, it will always be suitable."

Xu Zhiyuan originally only regarded the engagement that his parents talked about as a threat. If he listened to Yu Yao and hid his feelings first, Li Anrong's persecution would also stop.But it seemed that things backfired, he said: "If you don't like it, you don't like it. Didn't you mention this marriage to prevent me from liking men? Now that I've changed it, you should stop."

"You always have a family."

"It's my own business to get married!" Xu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, "That night you said...you and Xu Zhenping are willing to spend time with me to 'cure'. Is it because you really want to care about me, or because I like it? The man prevents you from marrying me?"

He didn't expect his mother to be silent. She pursed her lips and said, "No matter what you say, this matter is settled."

Just as Xu Zhiyuan was about to have a seizure, a hand pressed down on his shoulder, and Yu Yao came out at some point.There was still some water on the fingertips, and it rubbed a little cool on the side of his neck.Yu Yao said: "An Rong, I've made an agreement with Zhiyuan to come and live with me on the border of Beicheng."

The hand on the shoulder moved very lightly, but the strength transmitted was very reassuring, Xu Zhiyuan stopped talking.Li Anrong looked up at Yu Yao, his eyebrows seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "Ah Yao, you heard that too, he can't go with you..."

"It's just to play and relax, not to delay his study and life," Yu Yao said, "If that girl is willing, she can go with us. Didn't you say that you want her to develop a relationship with Zhiyuan? It's a quiet place, which is the most suitable place." .”

Xu Zhiyuan: "?"

He looked up at Yu Yao in disbelief, just opened his mouth, the slight kneading on his shoulders hinted him not to speak, Xu Zhiyuan could only hold back his breath.

"This..." Li Anrong thought for a while, knowing that his son listened to his uncle the most, he went down the steps and said, "The idea is a good idea, but Beicheng is not stable now, and Meng Che might not agree to my daughter going there , but when the turmoil subsides in a few days, Zhenping and I can discuss it with him."

The more Xu Zhiyuan listened, the more anxious he became. It was a good thing that his parents agreed with him and Yu Yao to go to Beicheng, but Meng Miaochang had to be added to this condition, so he felt uncomfortable all over, and blurted out: "I don't..."

"Then it's settled," Yu Yao patted Xu Zhiyuan's shoulder, and smiled at Li Anrong with his sleeves still on, "I'll cook what you want to eat tonight."

Li Anrong sighed with mixed feelings, and said, "I can do it, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Zhiyuan ate this dinner restlessly, half of his stomach was full of anger.Usually, whenever there is fish on the table, Yu Yao's bowl is full of fish meat picked by little bastards, but this meal bowl is empty, which most intuitively makes Yu Yao feel that he is losing his temper.So at night, he took the initiative to knock on the door of Xu Zhiyuan's room, and it took a long time before someone came to open it.

After Xu Zhiyuan opened the door, he sat down on a chair, and the first sentence he said with a blank face was: "I'll give you 3 minutes to explain."

"..." Yu Yao closed the door dumbfounded, counting in his mind how many times he coaxed this brat in a day, maybe someday he can break a record or something.

Yu Yao said: "Before An Rong and I talked about your engagement with Meng Miaochang, this intention was originally proposed by Zhenping. An Rong was also impatient at first, thinking that Zhenping, like her, wanted to get you back on track through this engagement. In addition, marrying the Meng family is indeed beneficial to the Xu family, so I agreed to persuade you." He said, "After seeing that your condition improved, she discussed it with me and Zhenping, but Zhenping insisted on letting this marriage go. set."

"why?"

"I don't know the inside story. Zhenping must have his own trade-offs in doing so. Especially during this period of public opinion, it is indeed beneficial to us to have a good relationship with Meng Che."

Xu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Using his son's marriage as a bargaining chip, he never considered me in these so-called discussions! Do you still think it's reasonable for him to do so?"

"Zhiyuan, you go to see Meng Miaochang tomorrow, don't fall out with her, understand..." Yu Yao didn't answer the question directly, but Xu Zhiyuan felt uncomfortable between the lines, he saw what Yu Yao wanted to say, and cut off: "Three minutes are up, I won't listen."

"Hiss..." Yu Yao took a special look at his watch and said, "Continue for another 3 minutes."

Xu Zhiyuan folded his hands on his chest and stared at him.

Yu Yao's face was flat, and he secretly added another sum to the "daily coaxing number" in his heart, and said patiently: "Is it okay, brother Zhiyuan."

Xu Zhiyuan looked away, got cheap and said obediently: "Continue."

Yu Yao continued: "What's the benefit of falling out with Meng Miao, it's nothing more than creating troubles for the two of you, you have to learn to solve problems calmly."

"So your way to solve the problem is to let her and I go to the border of the northern city to 'build a relationship'?" Xu Zhiyuan said angrily, "Little uncle, are you kidding me?"

Yu Yao lowered his eyebrows, looked at his fingers, and said, "An Rong said she likes you."

"She..." Xu Zhiyuan said, "Her likes and dislikes have nothing to do with me, it's not like you don't know me..."

"It's really a beautiful and happy thing for her to express her love for you so bravely, and she can still get the support and blessings of others..." Yu Yao stroked his fingers, and his voice was as gentle as ever, which made people listen The author calmed down easily, "...it makes me sometimes suddenly fantasize that one day, I will be able to tell my heart to everyone I meet like this without any scruples."

"...But it seems impossible." He said to himself, and let out a sigh-like smile, and said, "Thinking about it this way, it's quite disappointing."

In Xu Zhiyuan's eyes, the little uncle was as gentle as a handful of water, as if there was nothing he could care about.But it has nothing to do with "submissiveness". There is a bit of strong and resolute tenacity in his temperament, and he also uses such force when he grabs something.

Yu Yao continued: "I think if one day I am going to die, I will definitely go to the highest place a quarter of an hour before I die - a place where everyone can hear and see, and shout aloud."

"...What are you shouting for?"

"I liked you first, earlier than anyone else." Yu Yao said, "You will die after you finish speaking."

"You ran away, why did you leave me there?"

Yu Yao said: "Shame on me."

Xu Zhiyuan: "?"

Xu Zhiyuan said: "A heartless man."

"Zhiyuan," Yu Yao said seriously, "If someone likes you, I will tell him so personally. I don't want to hide this feeling too much."

Xu Zhiyuan still cared about the previous agreement, and said, "But the northern border..."

"Step by step, let An Rong agree first, and then open up with Miss Meng. She must have her own thoughts on whether to follow."

Xu Zhiyuan rubbed his chin, feeling that it made sense, so he reluctantly agreed to Yu Yao's meeting tomorrow that nothing would happen.Among the thousands of exhortations, he called out stitches: "That's right, Yao'er."

After persuasion, Yu Yao was about to get up and leave: "Huh?"

"If someone likes me, you will be jealous of him."

"No," Yu Yao thought for a while, "It's not that you like others."

Xu Zhiyuan said: "Are you confident?"

Yu Yao kissed the corner of his eyes and said, "That's right."
