Gu Ye was puzzled. "No, why did you run over here?"
"Brother Zheng is staying here, why can't I come? Second Brother, you're being too biased," Gu Xuan accused.
He had added Li Zheng as a friend earlier and saw the other's WeChat Moments post this morning.
The background was clearly Second Brother's place. He happened to be bored at home, so after telling Su Yunjin, he packed his suitcase and had the driver bring him over.
The other party involved, Li Zheng, scratched his head and explained, "Um, I'm only staying for a couple of days before going back."
The door opened. Gu Xuan rushed in. Gu Ye carried his suitcase, patted Li Zheng's shoulder, and the two entered the house, closing the door behind them.
Gu Xuan sprawled casually on the sofa. "Second Brother, confess. Where did you and Brother Zheng go off to play without me?"
"We just went out to play some ball and had a meal," Gu Ye said, holding the suitcase. "What's in this? You're not really planning to stay at my place, are you?"
"Second Brother, do you know? True heartbreak isn't about loud quarrels; true disappointment isn't about tears streaming down your face," Gu Xuan shook his head dramatically. "There's a kind of disappointment..."
Gu Ye cut him off disdainfully. "Oh, give it a rest. Where did you learn all this nonsense?"
"I learned it online," Gu Xuan said. "I don't care, I'm staying here too."
"Why don't you go stay at Big Brother's place?"
Gu Xuan shook his head. "I don't want to live in an ice castle. It's cold and boring."
It's lively and fun here with more people.
He then asked Li Zheng, "Brother Zheng, which room are you staying in? How about I stay with you tonight?"
Li Zheng didn't think much of it. "Sure, we can stay together."
Gu Ye frowned. "Don't you have training classes?"
"I'll skip them for these few days. I'm not interested anyway," Gu Xuan said, running off to the bathroom.
After using the bathroom, he rushed out eagerly as if something major had happened.
If Brother Zheng is staying here, what about Sister Mo?
"Bro, is Sister Mo living with you too?"
Gu Ye responded with a look that said, isn't that obvious.
The next second, Gu Xuan pulled out his phone and sent a message in the family group chat: "Second Brother and Sister Mo are living together!!"
Within two minutes, Su Yunjin popped up. "Son, not bad."
After a while, Gu Baotian came online and sent a voice message. "This kid was so eager to offer himself up, and now it's finally happened."
Gu Ye, seeing the group messages: "..."
He turned to scold Gu Xuan. "Don't post random stuff in the group chat, got it? Otherwise, take your suitcase and go back where you came from."
"Got it," Gu Xuan said cheekily. "Don't worry, my lips are sealed."
Gu Ye sighed helplessly. Fine, let the kid stay for a couple of days, then kick him out.
Meanwhile, Wang Xia and her husband also found out that Li Zheng had moved in with Gu Ye.
"Why did you run off to live at Yanjiang Bay?" Wang Xia lectured her son.
"It was too stuffy at home. Brother-in-law asked me to come stay for a couple of days," Li Zheng said. "I won't stay long, just a couple of days and then I'm going back."
Li Daming wasn't pleased and spoke up in the group chat. "He's just your boyfriend right now, and you're calling him 'brother-in-law' so affectionately already."
"You only know how to criticize me. You didn't say anything when my older sister moved in with him," Li Zheng retorted. "Are you really that comfortable with it?"
The couple fell silent at that, then proceeded to give their son an earful.
Jiang Mo, seeing this message, decided silence was golden and that she better not chime in.
When she got home from work and saw Gu Xuan in the living room, Jiang Mo wasn't surprised at all.
"Sister Mo, you're back," Gu Xuan greeted her happily. "I've come to join you all. The four of us as a family, living our days well—that's what really matters."
