Song Jianchu looked deeply at Mu Ye for a while and asked, “Teacher Mu, why are you so good?”
Mu Ye raised an eyebrow and replied, “You can praise me, but don’t randomly send good cards.”
Song Jianchu was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before saying, “No, I won’t send them.”
“Let’s go see our new home,” Mu Ye said cheerfully.
The newly purchased house was far from the city center, a detached villa in a quiet surrounding. The interior was already well-designed and decorated, ready for immediate move-in.
After taking a stroll inside, even Song Jianchu, who was meticulous about details, felt satisfied. Compared to those flashy but impractical mansions, this place was more suitable for living.
However, Mu Ye remained silent the whole time.
Song Jianchu, feeling a bit different because he had never given a house before, nervously asked, “Do you think it’s okay?”
Mu Ye stopped in the spacious and bright master bedroom of the new house, suddenly turned around and hugged him, burying his head on his shoulder. He sighed, “Chu Chu.”
“Not happy?” Song Jianchu asked, “If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we can make adjustments.”
Mu Ye gently said, “If you hadn’t gotten drunk that day, would I have this moment of happiness?”
Song Jianchu remained silent.
“Thinking about living here with you in the future makes me feel good,” Mu Ye said contentedly, “I really like our new home. The yard is so big; we can get another dog and give Peppermint a little brother.”
Song Jianchu hugged Mu Ye from behind, relieved, and asked, “When should we move in?”
“Tomorrow will do,” Mu Ye raised his head, unable to wait, and said, “If you don’t mind the trouble, we can even do it tonight.”
“I’m fine with anything, as long as I’m with you,” Song Jianchu’s mood was also uplifted by Mu Ye’s enthusiasm, “We can go back first to pick up Peppermint and the fish, and then slowly move the other things.”
Mu Ye held his hand and quickly walked out, saying, “Let’s go, let’s go back and pick up the kids.”
Back in the car, just as Song Jianchu fastened his seatbelt, Mu Ye suddenly remembered something and casually said, “But in the future, we need to be careful when coming and going from here.”
Song Jianchu didn’t understand and asked, puzzled, “Why?”
Mu Ye turned the steering wheel, his expression vigilant as he scanned the surroundings, “There’s a chance of being discovered since we just moved here and don’t want to be disturbed.”
Song Jianchu said, “The security here for outsiders is strict; paparazzi won’t be able to get in.”
While driving through the villa area, Mu Ye sighed and said, “I’m not worried about paparazzi. It’s someone familiar within this area.”
Song Jianchu was confused and asked, “Familiar? Are they also part of the industry?”
Song Jianchu didn’t pay too much attention as many celebrities settled in this city, and it was natural for them to live in good residential areas.
Mu Ye responded lightly with a “Hmm,” and right after, before the car had gone several dozen meters, through the car window, Song Jianchu heard a loud slamming noise.
A familiar figure wearing sportswear came out of one of the villas, with an irritable expression on his face.
Song Jianchu narrowed his eyes and recognized him, surprised, “Teacher Bai?”
Mu Ye clicked his tongue
Mu Ye made a clicking sound and accelerated to overtake Bai Xingyu, who was jogging. “Don’t look outside.”
Not far away, Song Jianchu heard another familiar voice calling out, “Brother Xing!”
Song Jianchu followed the voice and looked.
Pei Shinian waved from the second-floor window of a nearby villa, “Great! You came out at the right time! Can you bring the takeout at the door upstairs for me? I haven’t finished my game!”
“Get lost!” Bai Xingyu’s voice came from the back of the car, sounding annoyed. “Go get it yourself. Am I your errand boy?”
Pei Shinian clasped his hands together, “Please, Brother Xing, my child is starving! May you have a safe life! Tomorrow, I’ll help you throw out the trash!”
Song Jianchu: “…”
Before Song Jianchu could see more, Mu Ye had already sped away, helplessly saying, “Recently, they all moved to this area. We need to keep a low profile and avoid these troublemakers as much as possible. I want to spend a few quiet days with you, Chu Chu.”
…
Song Jianchu: “……….”
Song Jianchu finally realized.
He had been wondering why Mu Ye hadn’t shared any pictures of their new home in the group…
After returning and grabbing a few belongings, they waited until it was dark. Like a pair of thieves, Mu Ye carried the cat on his back while Song Jianchu held the fish, secretly moving into their new home with the kids.
Once they settled in, Mu Ye carefully closed all the curtains for peace of mind. Mu Ye hugged Song Jianchu tightly and playfully rolled around on the new bed.
“Just a moment,” Song Jianchu pushed him away from his neck, his face flushed. He closed his eyes and said, “Let’s tidy up first.”
Mu Ye was excited about the move and quickly kissed him twice. “We can tidy up later. Let’s stick together and get to know our new bed.”
Clothes were scattered everywhere.
Song Jianchu was quickly rendered speechless by Mu Ye’s affectionate words, while Mu Ye spoke fluently, several times more than usual, whispering in his ear.
With each sentence, Song Jianchu’s face grew hotter.
Mu Ye indeed lived up to his words during the day.
The new bedroom’s lights were brighter, allowing them to see the details more clearly.
Leaning against the pillow on the bed, Song Jianchu’s face was burning, almost on fire. His hazy gaze inadvertently fell on the contours of the man’s sexy and tense shoulder muscles, but they were covered by the blanket.
In the middle of the night, they had some free time to tidy things up.
After finishing their tasks, they were both a bit hungry and too lazy to cook, so Song Jianchu ordered takeout.
When the delivery arrived, Song Jianchu put on a knitted jacket over his pajamas and went out to pick up the food. Mu Ye stuck to him and followed, never wanting to be apart for a moment.
It was a full moon tonight, and the air quality in the suburbs was good, with a beautiful starry sky.
Song Jianchu hadn’t leisurely admired the night sky like this in a long time. He was in such a good mood that he couldn’t help but look up for a while.
Mu Ye looked at him and cheerfully suggested, “Shall we take a walk before going back to eat?”
Song Jianchu nodded, “Hmm.”
The villa area was very quiet at night, and hardly anyone came out for a stroll.
Both of them were wearing pajamas and jackets, feeling relaxed and leisurely.
Mu Ye held his hand and walked slowly along the road, saying, “Jiaming has a friend who has been rescuing stray dogs. Let’s ask tomorrow if we can adopt one.”
Song Jianchu looked forward to it and replied, “Okay.”
In front of them, the headlights of a car turned on, and a car parked by the roadside. It was a resident returning from outside.
Afraid of being recognized, Song Jianchu was looking for a place to hide.
Mu Ye pulled him behind a tree and said, “Here.”
The car stopped without entering the yard, and stayed parked on the roadside for a long time. Faint sounds of arguing could be heard.
Song Jianchu furrowed his brows and cautiously peeked from behind the tree.
He clearly saw the two people in the car and was momentarily stunned.
The car’s lights were on, and Bai Xingyu wore a duckbill cap with a mask pulled down to his chin.
Lu Shen sat in the driver’s seat, his expression devoid of emotion.
Both of their faces didn’t look good. Bai Xingyu seemed to be scolding, saying a few words without receiving a response. He then furrowed his brows, angrily tried to get out of the car, but was pulled back by Lu Shen.
Lu Shen forcefully kissed him on the passenger seat. Bai Xingyu left a few red marks on Lu Shen’s neck and punched his shoulder a few times. It was clear that he was using a lot of strength, and the car was not stable.
The situation in the car seemed to be out of control, and Bai Xingyu’s curses were filled with profanity.
Song Jianchu furrowed his brows and asked, “Is Teacher Lu okay?”
Mu Ye pulled him and ran out from behind the tree, saying, “Don’t worry about it. They’re just fooling around. Let’s take this opportunity to leave quickly.”
Song Jianchu was being pulled by Mu Ye and ran, but he couldn’t help but look back worriedly.
After running for a while, they arrived at the entrance of Pei Shinian’s.
Song Jianchu wasn’t wearing contact lenses and squinted his eyes to stare at the figure in the darkness for a few seconds. He doubtedly furrowed his brows, “Qin Fang?”
Mu Ye wasn’t too surprised and said, “Pei Shinian mentioned it before. He and Teacher Qin bought a house here together for the convenience of gaming together.”
They heard Qin Fang sniffle, indicating he was crying. He dug a small hole in silence, put down the shovel, and knelt down to place a small box in the pit.
He said sadly, “Oi, it’s Dad’s fault for not taking care of you… You kept escaping every day, and this time you’ve been missing for so long, I thought you ran away. There’s nothing to eat at home, but I didn’t expect you to starve to death… The peanuts you loved the most, I was afraid they would give you fatty liver, so I didn’t let you eat… Just rest in peace in the peanuts. May heaven have an endless supply of peanuts for you.”
Song Jianchu’s gaze gradually became perplexed, “?”
“Oi?”
Song Jianchu had a faint recollection. It seemed to be the hamster Qin Fang was raising, which he used to post about on Weibo every day.
Song Jianchu: “…………”
Mu Ye pulled him, “Stop looking and let’s go.”
The harvest along the way was too exciting, and when they returned to their new home, Song Jianchu couldn’t snap out of it for a long time.
Mu Ye unpacked the takeout box, put the chopsticks in his hand, and urged him again, “Eat quickly. After eating, we can cuddle.”
“Teacher Mu.”
“Hmm?”
Song Jianchu pondered and thought, rarely feeling that he had made a wrong decision.
The neighbors here are too strange, and the future hidden dangers are countless.
Song Jianchu hesitated and looked up, “How about… we find another house?”
why are they so ignorant…
