Smells

Chapter 41

These words no longer gave Mother Jiang any way out, and also clearly expressed Yu Huan's attitude towards this matter.

His style of acting is still relatively tough, especially when dealing with matters involving moral principles.

Although Yu Huan did intend to sue Jiang's mother, he was still concerned about Jiang Yan's feelings.

"Jiang Yan?" Yu Huan set his eyes on Jiang Yan's direction.

Mother Jiang froze in place with a pale complexion, her vitals were strangled, she no longer had the capital to be arrogant.She took a deep look at Jiang Yan, so sad that she was afraid that her own son would agree to Yu Huan's proposal.

She owed too much debt, and she couldn't pay it off.

After a long time, Jiang Yan said, "Uncle, I won't sue her."

Mother Jiang's breathing was stagnant, and when the words fell, she exhaled suddenly.At that moment, her eyes were sore, she didn't know whether it was because she was nervous or regretful, but a few tears flashed from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Yan looked at her: "From now on, let's pretend we never knew each other. Thank you for giving birth to me. I want to start a better life again."

"Are you really not going to live with your mother? I used to—"

"We've been strangers since the day you left."

He gave her a chance, but before this opportunity was seized by her, he was chosen by Yu Ying first.

"Jiang Yan." Mother Jiang's lips trembled slightly, "Actually, you are much more ruthless than your father, you two are the same person."

"So what?" Jiang Yan's face was gloomy, "At least he's not like you, he won't just throw me away like a dog."

Mother Jiang collapsed completely, squatted down slowly, and burst into tears.

Jiang Yan didn't understand why she was crying, could feelings suddenly arise?He never felt that this woman had a trace of maternal love for him.

"Let's go." Yu Huan grabbed Jiang Yan's thin shoulders.

"Uncle." Jiang Yan followed his steps blankly.

"Ah."

"Is it easy to change people's hearts?"

Yu Huan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "No matter how you change it, the damage you caused will never disappear."

Comrade Lao Yu came back quite suddenly, without greeting anyone, even Ye Minxing was taken aback.

Yu Ying didn't know that her father was coming back today, and he was not at home this time.

Yu Huan changed into his home clothes, sat on the sofa with a teacup in his hand and read the military newspaper, and asked, "Where's Yu Ying? Why isn't he at home?"

"Who knows you're coming back today, and you didn't tell me in advance, who will pick it up?"

"I don't need someone to pick it up." Yu Huan raised his head, "Where are others?"

"I went to see my father-in-law."

Yu Huan looked confused.

"Didn't I tell you who he's dating?" Ye Minxing sat beside him, "What do you think of this?"

"What do I think, that person will live with him in the future, does it matter what I think?"

Ye Minxing said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that I have a villainous heart. I didn't expect Comrade Yu to become more and more enlightened as he got older. I thought you looked down on people who were divorced."

"It's you who don't like it." Yu Huan glanced at her.

Ye Minxing stared beautifully: "Yu Huan, have you put eyeliner by my side?"

Yu Huan smiled calmly: "With your little thoughtfulness, you don't need eyeliner."

Ye Min laughed angrily, and retorted: "So what if I don't like it, I can't find a perfect partner for my son yet?"

"As long as he thinks it's appropriate." Yu Huan said calmly.

"Yeah, I thought so when I figured it out later, and that kid is pretty good. I've seen him before, and I don't have to choose his appearance."

"How long have they been together? Did they go to their parents' house so soon?"

"Stop talking, your son has been living with him for two weeks."

Yu Huan is a conservative old man, he frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Ye Minxing pushed him jokingly: "Do you understand that the old house is on fire?"

Yu Huan nodded: "It's Chinese New Year, let Yu Ying bring someone home and have a meal together."

Recently, the studio has been closed for reorganization, and the end of the year is the peak season for giving gifts and flowers, but Buyu has closed its doors at this time. The studio’s official WeChat and Weibo private messages are bombarded by customers every day, asking why it suddenly closed Alright, when will it reopen blah blah.

Yu Ying plans to open again after the year, so that the studio will welcome the new year with a new look.

During this period of time, the studio was being redecorated, and Yu Ying took down the empty storefront next to the studio, planning to expand the size of the studio.

As a professional, Xiao Chen also gave some guidance and participated in the interior decoration design.Hearing that he could paint, Yu Ying discussed with him and asked him to design one or two decorative paintings for the studio.

Xiao Chen asked Yu Ying what his salary was, and Yu Ying replied: I will give you everything I have.

Xiao Chen didn't want much, he asked for a kiss, and then said that he would pay back the rest of the reward slowly, using the rest of his life to pay it back.

Yu Ying said yes.

In the rush for the new year, the decoration masters worked very hard and rushed to work overnight. At the end of the year, the studio was almost expanded and repaired, and only needed to put the shelves, tables and chairs.

A separate workshop is added to the expanded studio, which is separated from the inside and the outside by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, so that the working conditions inside can be clearly seen from the outside.

Xiao Chen just sat in the workshop and drew, as if he had settled down with no other distractions.

There are roses drawn by him on the transparent glass window, which is not a traditional rose image. The whole gives people a sense of absurd abstraction, but the colors are relatively small and fresh, so the senses will not be too dull and stagnant.

Yu Ying doesn't understand this, and she doesn't have much artistic talent, so she thinks it looks very advanced and stylish.

He asked Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen told him it was a postmodernist style.

Yu Ying smiled and kissed his face at the time, saying that he looked cool and cold, but deep down he was as romantic as a rose.

Yu Ying privately thinks that manta rose is the most suitable to describe Xiao Chen, the color is plain and light, and the temperament is light, just like walking out of an oil painting.

In the workshop, Yu Ying sat and watched Xiao Chen draw.

The state of his painting is different from his state of work. He is very relaxed, and his demeanor is gentle.

The paintbrush stopped in Xiao Chen's hand, Xiao Chen raised his eyelids, and glanced at Yu Ying lightly: "You keep staring at me, so staring at me that I can't even draw anymore."

Yu Ying propped her chin and smiled: "I thought you had already concentrated to the point of perfection. It's been half an hour and you haven't even looked at me."

"It's too distracting for you to sit there." Xiao Chen deliberately said, "I can't drive you out."

Yu Ying couldn't laugh or cry.

jingle--

The doorbell rang.

There are still guests at this point, Yu Ying got up, and said in a low voice: "It happens that there are guests, so I won't delay Teacher Xiao's creation."

Xiao Chen glanced at him.

Taking advantage of the time when the guests outside were looking around, Yu Ying leaned over and kissed Xiao Chen on the cheek, and then went out.

"Sorry, we haven't opened yet."

This guest was a handsome guy with a handsome face, and he looked familiar, Yu Ying was stunned for a while, a hazy face of an acquaintance appeared in his mind.

The man was taken aback: "Hasn't opened yet?"

"Yes, we are still renovating." Yu Ying felt that the more he looked at this person, the more he looked at him. He could not help but look at him. When their eyes met, the face in his mind also matched the face of the person in front of him. up.

"Chou Sinian?" Yu Ying asked tentatively.

The man blinked his eyes and seemed to recognize Yu Ying, he hummed: "Yu Ying."

"It's really you?" Yu Ying laughed, "I said it looks so familiar, we haven't seen each other for five or six years, I didn't expect you to remember my name."

Qiu Sinian smiled faintly: "You didn't go to the class reunion last year, otherwise it wouldn't have been so long."

"Oh, something happened to me at work, so I didn't go."

During that time, Yu Ying's old injury recurred and she was hospitalized.

Yu Ying greeted: "Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Qiu Sinian is Yu Ying's high school classmate. The relationship between the two is neither deep nor shallow. It's just an ordinary classmate friendship. After graduation, they have no contact. They only meet at class reunions and reminisce with other classmates. fleeting time.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, and they were no longer the students they remembered.

Qiu Sinian didn't get along with Yu Ying in high school. He has a very quiet personality, refined and gentle. He is the male god of the girls in the class. I heard that he became a university teacher after graduating with a Ph.D.Yu Ying was crazy and wild at that time, had excellent grades but loved to cause trouble, the two were not from the same world, so there was no deep intersection.

"I remember you went to OUHK back then? You became a criminal policeman after graduation..." Qiu Sinian was a little puzzled, "You...don't be a policeman anymore?"

"Well, I won't do it. I have a leg injury, so I can't continue working."

Chou Sinian said "I'm sorry", and said, "It's pretty good now." He looked around the studio, "It's very beautiful here, and the business should be pretty good usually."

Yu Ying is not modest: "Yes."

Qiu Sinian glanced at Yu Ying: "I feel that you have changed a lot."

Yu Ying smiled: "Really?"

Sitting in the working room, Xiao Chen raised his eyes to see the scene outside. Yu Ying sat down and chatted with the guest at some point.

The guest was quite good-looking, probably about the same age as Yu Ying, and had a particularly good temperament, with a bookish air all over his body.

Seeing the situation, the two talked happily.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, and continued to paint.

"It's really been a long time since I saw you. I didn't recognize you at first sight."

"I didn't recognize it either." Qiu Sinian looked at Yu Ying, "You have changed too much, completely different from when you were in high school."

"It's as if I had plastic surgery. Do you remember what I was like in high school? I don't even remember myself." Yu Ying stood up with a smile, "What flowers do you want to buy? Who are you giving them to? There are still some flowers in the freezer. In stock, I'll see if I can get one for you."

Qiu Sinian thought for a while and said, "It's a gift for a professional e-sports player. He won the championship. What kind of flower is more suitable?"

This stumped Yu Ying, he was a little dazed: "...playing e-sports?"

"Uh... how old is he? Shouldn't he? If you're an e-sports player, you can give him a sunflower." Yu Ying licked her lower lip and said with a smile: "Your circle of friends is quite wide, and you know people who play e-sports .”

Qiu Sinian lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his head and said, "There should be many people who gave him sunflowers, let's change it to roses."

Yu Ying was a little surprised, is Xin Dao so independent?

He took a sip of water from the cup and confirmed: "You want to send roses? The meaning of various flowers is quite particular. It is easy to be misunderstood if you send roses."

"No, he's my boyfriend."

Yu Ying choked on water: "Ahem..." He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Chou Sinian, his eyes were unclear, "I can't tell."

Qiu Sinian smiled faintly: "What's wrong? You discriminate against gays?"

Yu Ying shrugged: "Coincidentally, I'm also gay. Why should I discriminate against myself?"

Qiu Sinian raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.

"Rose, right? What color?" Yu Ying asked.

"red."

"Okay." Yu Ying got up and went to the fresher to pick flowers, "Just wait a moment."

When Xiao Chen looked up again, he met the handsome customer's eyes.

The man nodded politely at him, and Xiao Chen smiled, a hypocritical smile.The decorative painting was almost finished, he stood up and stretched his muscles, and walked out of the workshop.

Because he was afraid of disturbing Xiao Chen, Yu Ying directly baked flowers outside. Hearing the movement, he raised his head: "Are you finished?"

Xiao Chen glanced in Qiu Sinian's direction, and asked Yu Ying, "Friend?"

"It's my high school classmate. I haven't seen you for many years." Yu Ying introduced, "This is my boyfriend, Xiao Chen. This is my high school classmate, the people's teacher, Qiu Sinian."

"Hello."

"Your classmate is quite handsome." Xiao Chen said bluntly.

"That's not true." Yu Ying continued, "In high school, he was the grassroots of our school."

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you?"

Yu Ying said solemnly: "I am a school bully."

Xiao Chen gave a chuckle, and asked Yu Ying in a low voice, "Then there will be many girls chasing you?"

Yu Ying deliberately teased him: "There are not many now."

Qiu Sinian on the side said: "At that time, there were indeed many girls chasing Yu Ying."

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Chen asked, "Did he have a puppy love when he was in high school?"

"Probably not. I remember that once a girl wrote him a love letter, and he handed it directly to the head teacher. As a result, the head teacher read the love letter in front of the whole class. Later, Yu Ying was killed by the girl." He fought for a week with two black eyes, I have a deep impression of his two black eyes, and I still remember them."

Yu Ying groaned: "Mr. Qiu, don't expose my black history."

Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing out loud: "You were so bad when you were in high school?"

"Hey!" Yu Ying couldn't argue, "I didn't send that letter to the class teacher at all. Am I so careless?"

However, Yu Ying was really confused about the female students in the class back then, which led to their deep misunderstanding of him. They didn't investigate and collect evidence afterwards, and directly blamed this immoral thing on him.

Yu Ying smiled helplessly: "I was punched twice because of this, and I can't have the same knowledge as lesbians."

Yu Ying wrapped Qiu Sinian a bouquet of red roses called "Red Frontline", which was a new variety that he had just acquired in the past two days.

Before Qiu Sinian left, Yu Ying gave him a postcard from the studio: "Come here often when you are free, and bring your little boyfriend along. I'll treat you to dinner."

Qiu Sinian took it with a smile: "Okay, see you later."

"See you."

Hearing the phrase "little boyfriend" from Yu Ying's mouth, the sourness in Xiao Chen's heart was completely dissipated.

Originally, I still thought of such a handsome old classmate, not to mention that the two had a mutual affection in high school, and had a secret youthful crush on each other.

Xiao Chen found out that when he fell in love, the lover was also naive, and falling in love really lowered his intelligence.

"I didn't expect you to have such a handsome old classmate." Xiao Chen said.

"From just now to now, you have praised him twice for being handsome." Yu Ying picked Xiao Chen's chin, "Do you really think I'm not sour?"

Xiao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth: "What are you sour about?"

"Ask the question knowingly. I hated the teacher bitterly, and won the affirmation of his beauty from my boyfriend."

"I've always been a pretty dog." Xiao Chen said, "Otherwise, how could I fall in love with you at first sight?"

This is a bit awkward at first, but it is very pleasing when you touch it carefully, it is very sweet.

Yu Ying was overjoyed, and hugged him affectionately: "Will you go to my house for New Year's Eve dinner? I'll take you to meet your parents."

Xiao Chen has met Yu Ying's mother a few times, but he has never met his father. Yu Ying's father is a soldier, and he always feels invisible pressure due to his inherent impression of the soldier before he met.

"Does your dad know that I've been divorced? Does he have any ideas in my situation? "

"No, Comrade Yu has been completely enlightened, even more enlightened than Ms. Ye. Besides, what's the matter if you're divorced, you're such a handsome guy, what do they have to be dissatisfied with?"

"That's right." Yu Ying thought of something, "My mother still thinks I don't earn as much as you. The old lady thinks you are very rich and says I'm poor and can't afford it."

Xiao Chen was happy: "It's true or not."

"Really, Ms. Ye is already coveting my grandfather's property, and she is committed to shaping me into an image of a rich third generation."

Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing: "You are what you are, and you still need to be shaped?"

"She is a rich woman, but I am not. Ms. Ye is the direct heir of my grandfather's property."

"Actually, I'm really a poor ghost. I don't have my parents, and I don't have a prominent family background. Now I'm just an ordinary person drifting with the crowd." Yu Ying looked eagerly, lowered her head and kissed Xiao Chen's forehead, and said in a low voice:

"But what I have, I will give you all."
