not in love

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a sudden knock on the door of the bedroom, Yu Zhijuan put the coat that Chen Hao left him on his shoulders, and asked in a soft voice through the door,

"Brother Hao? What's wrong?"

"It's me, Jiang Lei."

Jiang Lei replied in a low voice, and Yu Zhijuan immediately opened the door and pulled him into the room.

"You dare to come to me when Chen Hao is at home, aren't you afraid of being discovered by him?"

"I'm old fritters,"

Jiang Lei smiled, thinking that Yu Zhiyi was good at him, and his tone was obedient a second ago, but as soon as he confirmed it was him, he returned to the indifference that deserved to be beaten.

"Chen Hao is taking a shower now, so I dared to come to you. Have you forgotten that he likes to look through your phone? Talking face to face at home will not leave traces, and it is safer."

Jiang Lei explained, looking at the burning cigarette on the table by the window inadvertently, Yu Zhijuan noticed his gaze, quietly picked up the end of the cigarette and took a puff slowly,

"Then what's the matter with you, you are in such a hurry to tell me?"

"I'm in a hurry. It's really not the right time for you to come back. Chen Hua and Ji Xuanxuan are coming back from vacation tomorrow. Those two people are most against you going out to show your face. After your accident, Ji Xuanxuan also said that this is the Chen family. If they come back and see you, they will inevitably be in a dilemma."

"Chen Hua..."

Yu Zhijuan thought for a moment.The days before Yu Zhiyi were difficult, not only because there was a villain like Zhou Huihui deliberately making things difficult for him at work, but also because there were several "relatives" who were like wolves and tigers at home.

Chen Hua is Chen Hao's biological brother, 12 years older than him, so he always likes to call himself "elder" at home.

As the saying goes, an older brother is like a father, and Chen Hao has always asked Yu Zhiyi to respect his elder brother and his wife as parents. According to Chi Ling, his sister-in-law Ji Xuanxuan loves to rely on the old and sell the old, and she completely regards Yu Zhiyi as their family to marry into the door. As long as Yu Zhiyi failed to fulfill her wish, she would complain to Chen Hua and Chen Hao all over the place, and made Yu Zhiyi a lot of stumbling blocks behind her back.

"You haven't recovered your brain yet? You won't forget those two, will you?"

Jiang Lei paused,

"And they asked me to clean the young master's room as well. That kid likes to make you embarrassed the most."

The young master in Jiang Lei's mouth is Chen Hua and Ji Xuanxuan's precious son, Chen Kaiyu. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he is out of shape every day, and he is spoiled by Ji Xuanxuan, and he feels that Yu Zhiyi is inferior to him from the bottom of his heart.

"Did they tell you what time to get home?"

"The driver will pick you up at the airport at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it is estimated that he will be home by three o'clock at the latest."

"Where's Chen Hao? What's his plan for tomorrow?"

"There's something to be said for that,"

Jiang Lei smacked his lips gloatingly, "To tell you the truth, he originally planned to have a blind date with the daughter of Yaoshi Jewelry Wang's family tomorrow. After all, you are useless. He can't really guard you as a vegetable. I thought you were back."

"Then it seems that it's time for me to come back."

Yu Zhijuan blew out a puff of thin smoke. Although he will not be choked and coughing, he still cannot understand the attraction of nicotine.

"Actually, I didn't expect that you were really capable of trapping him. Before he took a bath, he asked me to think of an excuse to cancel tomorrow's date."

"So, did you do it?"

Yu Zhijuan lowered his eyes, waiting for Jiang Lei to continue.

"Of course not—you sure don't want him to have a good time, right? Besides, he is the jewel in the palm of Mr. Wang's family. Wouldn't it save some face for him to refuse suddenly? Although I was scolded by Chen Hao for being incompetent, he will definitely sleep tonight." Not feeling well."

Jiang Lei thought about Yu Zhijuan's thoughts and answered, Yu Zhijuan hooked his fingers towards him after listening, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After Jiang Lei heard this, he immediately nodded understandingly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't control his mouth and said,

"You said that if you could think this way before, you wouldn't be bullied like this by their family, right?"

"I became like this without your help."

Yu Zhijuan glanced at him lightly, inexplicably making Jiang Lei's hairs stand on end.

"...I also use money to do things, there is no way. Besides, am I not loyal to you now? Don't worry, I will definitely treat them harder than I did to you."

Jiang Lei touched his nose guiltily,

"Employers are not suspicious, past pasts are not to blame."

Yu Zhijuan looked away from Jiang Lei, and he finally felt he could catch his breath, only to hear Yu Zhijuan asked again,

"Chen Hua and Ji Xuanxuan, what do you think?"

"you ask me?"

Jiang Lei was stunned for two seconds, never thinking that he would ask his opinion if he was too tired.

"Of course I don't like their family anymore... Although your family status is very low, this Chen's house is bought by you and Chen Hao after all. They are just living here temporarily. It's okay to be mean to you, but to us These migrant workers are even more domineering, and they want to be the masters of the family."

Jiang Lei had suffered a lot from the elder brother and sister-in-law of the Chen family before. Seeing that Yu Zhiyi came back this time, he made it clear that he wanted revenge, and he complained endlessly when he complained.

"I also really admire you, how can you be so patient. Ji Xuanxuan thinks he's superior to you, and treats you like a servant, and you don't know how to resist."

"Didn't I resist at the beginning? When she complained in front of Chen Hao, I was the one who was unlucky. I was the real outsider in this family."

Yu Zhijuan sneered, Chen Hao and Ji Xuanxuan were all the same breed, they were obviously selfish, but they were extraordinarily xenophobic, Yu Zhiyi living with the three of them could be regarded as a sheep in a tiger's den.

"...That's the reason."

"It's useless for me to object again, unless Chen Hao can take the initiative to ask them to get out of this house."

"That's impossible,"

Jiang Lei said decisively,

"Chen Hao can't wait to offer up his elder brother as a father. He eats, drinks, and speaks softly every day. Haven't you experienced it once? He would rather send you to the hospital than touch his elder brother and sister-in-law."

"How do you know if you don't try."

Yu Zhijuan lowered his eyes, Chen Hao missed his elder brother because Chen Hua gave him the opportunity to study further when their family was not well-off when they were young, such a little kindness is worth Chen Hao remembering for so many years, but what about Yu Zhiyi?

When Yu Zhiyi and Chen Haoguan announced their marriage, Chen Hao was on the cusp of being exposed for tax evasion. It was Yu Zhiyi who filled the gap for him and accompanied him through the most difficult time. All in exchange for an overdose of scopolamine.

"Have you been chic for a long time and forgot how difficult the husband and wife are?"

Jiang Lei's attitude towards this matter is obviously not optimistic, "Anyway, they will come back tomorrow, and you will definitely experience it again."

"I remember you said last time that your sister's bird died,"

Yu Zhijuan changed the subject, took out a beautifully packaged ribbon box from nowhere and handed it to Jiang Lei, "The organizer of tonight's event is a jeweler who gave me a gift, I think it looks pretty , you take it to your sister."

"This……"

Jiang Lei opened the gift box, and saw that a thumb-sized emerald was carved into the torso of a flying bird, and the bird feathers were embellished with several fine diamonds. It was a brooch made entirely of precious stones. valuable,

"Really for my sister?"

"Otherwise, did I take it out to show you off?"

Yu Zhijuan knows that Jiang Lei is greedy and self-interested, he is used to taking other people's kindness to him for granted, but he really puts his sister at the top of his heart, and it is better to treat his sister than to treat him well Well, on the contrary, he knows how to be grateful.

"But I haven't done anything yet? You are giving money and jewels. I feel uneasy."

Of course, Jiang Lei doesn't feel guilty because of his futility, he just wants to know what Yu Zhijuan plans to do next.

"There's something I need you to do right now,"

Seeing Jiang Lei gearing up and eager to try, Yu Zhijuan paused before saying,

"Find a 24-hour supermarket and buy these things for me."

Jiang Lei took the list he handed over, glanced at it and was almost dumbfounded,

"Potatoes, bacon, toast... and ham sausage and mushrooms? Are you in a hurry to use such everyday things?"

"I haven't fully recovered yet. Eating well is the first priority. In addition, you can find someone to secretly order two boxes of oral vitamin tablets for me."

"Two boxes?"

"Yes, don't be discovered by others."

Yu Zhijuan smiled, "Being weak is not an honorable thing, I don't want others to know."

"Chen Hao can't do it either?"

"Chen Hao can't either."

Yu Zhijuan emphasized, "If someone finds out, you can say it was prepared for your sister."

"……All right."

Jiang Lei is a little confused, what is the use of supplementing vitamins for physical weakness?But when Yu Zhijuan asked him to buy it, he had no reason to refuse.

"Understood, let's go."

Yu Zhijuan was about to get up to see off the guests, when he suddenly heard a plopping sound coming from outside the window, he turned his head vigilantly,

"What's that sound?"

"Oh, don't worry,"

Jiang Lei remembered Chi Ling's confession, saying that Yu Zhiyi's brain hadn't recovered yet, sometimes his memory was confused and sometimes his head was dizzy, and he asked him to remind him more,

"You may have forgotten, isn't there a swimming pool built in the west garden outside? It's snowing and freezing today, and the wind is strong now. If you blow branches and stones in, you will make such a sound. It's normal in winter."

"I don't like swimming."

"It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. Chen Hua asked to repair that pool, but I haven't seen him swim. The pool is full of water all year round."

"Since it's useless, it's better to fill it in."

Yu Zhijuan said lightly, his voice was soft, Jiang Lei couldn't hear it clearly.

"It won't be convenient for me to sneak out after Chen Hao takes a shower. If you have nothing else to tell me, I'll leave first?"

"Remember to buy everything on the list."

Yu Zhijuan waved at him, Jiang Lei slipped out of his room, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, touched the gemstone brooch in his pocket, and finally went out in the snow to buy for Yu Zhijuan .

It was not until the next morning that Jiang Lei finally understood why Yu Zhijuan asked him to go shopping in the middle of the night.

The kitchen, which hadn't been fired for a long time, was cleaned up, and there were occasional sounds of dishes colliding. Chen Hao came out of the room in a daze, and saw Yu Zhiyi standing in front of the cupboard wearing an apron. He prepares breakfast.

On the sunny day after the first snowfall, the sun was exceptionally clean, fluffing down on Zhiyi's eyelashes, forming a shattered light, and the restaurant was enveloped and melted by the warm aroma of butter.

No matter how much Chen Hao played outside, his heart would inevitably be moved when he saw such a scene. The more ambitious a man is, the more obsessed he is with the gentleness and harmony at home. This is absolutely true.

"Brother Hao, are you awake?"

Yu Zhijuan's eyes brightened when he laughed, and he dragged Chen Hao to sit down at the dining table.

Looking at the sun eggs sprinkled with white pepper powder and the toast cakes drizzled with honey sauce on the dinner plate, the stone in Chen Hao's heart finally fell slowly.

He thought that his wife had finally learned to behave.
