Mi Yang went straight to hide in Bai's house at noon. One reason was that he was a little scared, and the other was that Bai Luochuan insisted on protecting him.
Bai Luochuan said, "If you go back now, Uncle Mi will be very angry. Forget it. Didn't Grandpa also say that the family will get over it in a few days? You should hide for a few days first."
Mi Yang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
He had already changed into his sneakers in the morning, and he planned to hide for two days to avoid being beaten or suffering any loss, and he thought that he would be better after his parents' anger subsided. At noon, Mi Yang secretly called Mrs. Cheng. The old lady was devoted to protecting her grandson, and she also told him: "Hide for a day, come back tomorrow, don't worry, I have told your parents that they will not beat the child during the New Year."
Mi Yang: "What about after the New Year?"
Old Mrs. Cheng was happy: "Run away, go back to school after the New Year and hide away. Your dad has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. After not seeing you for a while, he will think you are good again. I think it's not a big deal. It's normal to have a date when you grow up."
The old lady only thought highly of her grandson and could not see any flaws. Except for being a little surprised at first, she started praising him afterwards.
Mi Yang felt a little embarrassed and called her grandma in a low voice.
Old Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "Oh, you are so old, but you are still acting like a spoiled brat to your grandma. Don't worry too much. I have already talked to your family. I told them that you went to the temple fair. Do a good job of convincing your parents first. Wait a few years and you can handle it with your family. If you want to notify them, you can have a meal together. If you don't want to notify them, you can just stay at home and live your life. It's nothing. You are not breaking the law and it doesn't affect your work. Don't always think you have done something wrong, okay."
Bai Luochuan was standing nearby and also heard what the old lady said. He looked up at Mi Yang, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Mi Yang nodded and said, "Oh, I understand, grandma. I'll go back for lunch tomorrow."
Bai Luochuan pointed at himself and looked up at him.
Mi Yang added: "I'll take Bai Luochuan with me, okay?"
Old Mrs. Cheng was very happy. "Okay, of course. From now on, just treat it as yourself. I'll be happy if you come often. Ask Luochuan to come as well. I'll cook for him tomorrow and make his favorite dishes."
Bai Luochuan moved closer to the microphone and said with a smile, "Thank you, grandma."
His sweet words made Old Mrs. Cheng even happier.
At noon, Mi Yang and his friends had lunch with Mr. Bai. Luo Jiangjing was also there. The only person not at the table was Bai Jingrong.
Luo Jiangjing seemed to be smiling, and kept passing the specialty dishes made by the family chef to Mi Yang, enthusiastically asking him to eat more, "This dish is fresh, the fish was bought early in the morning, and the steaming temperature is also good, you try it."
Mi Yang took a piece with chopsticks and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. The fish meat was very tender and went well with the sauce.
Mr. Bai also smiled at them, and his attitude was not much different from before. After dinner, he asked Mi Yang to play a game of chess with him as usual, and then went to take a nap after about half an hour.
Luo Jiangjing took advantage of this opportunity to call her son to the study, and the mother and son closed the door and had a talk.
Luo Jiangjing said: "After the New Year, go back and take care of the affairs of the Beijing branch and prepare to take over my work. It will be your responsibility sooner or later, so make preparations in advance."
In addition to his own work, Bai Luochuan also managed a branch of Luo Corporation. When he heard her say that, he nodded and agreed, and then said, "Don't touch my team. They have been with me for several years. I have finally trained a few useful people."
"Will I steal your position?" Luo Jiangjing said with a smile, "I have a lot of people here, many of them are talented. If you have the ability, I will dig you over, and I will never stop you. I'm here to give you a heads up, and you should be mentally prepared. If you are given a seat and you can't sit still and get kicked out, don't come crying to your mother."
Bai Luochuan leaned against the table, tilted his head and looked at her with a smile: "How could that be? You taught me, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Luo Jiangjing reached out and knocked him on the head, "I didn't teach you to say those irritating words. Your father was so mad at you that day that he didn't even have dinner."
Her beating didn't hurt, it was like she was scolding him, Bai Luochuan didn't dodge, he and Luo Jiangjing were very close and willing to talk to her about anything, he whispered about himself and Mi Yang for a while, "He provoked me first, you heard it that day, if he hadn't asked me to meet him after the New Year, would I have told him about Xiaoguai?"
Luo Jiangjing said with a smile: "You still blame your dad for this?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Not really, it's mainly because you raised me and Xiaoguai so well. We have been following you since we were young. When we look at other people outside, we don't think we are good enough..."
Luo Jiangjing pushed him and ignored his nonsense. "Okay, go back and have a rest. Stay in your hometown for a few more days this time to accompany your grandfather. He supports you and makes decisions for you. You should thank him."
Bai Luochuan: "I know, thank you too."
Luo Jiangjing looked at him for a while and sighed: "What can I do? You are my only son."
Bai Luochuan stood beside her. He was already a head taller than Luo Jiangjing. He put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her, saying affectionately, "You are my only real mother."
Luo Jiangjing was amused by him. He shook his head but couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let's go. Don't bother me here. I still have a lot of things to deal with."
Bai Luochuan closed the study door for her and went out.
There was no one in the small room on the first floor where people usually played chess. The tea cups had been taken away and it looked like the game was over.
Bai Luochuan took a look and turned to go to the bedroom on the second floor. He didn't make any guest rooms here, so it was still the same large suite as before. Mi Yang was sitting on the sofa in the small living room, reading a book, leaning against two pillows, half lying there, looking quite comfortable.
Bai Luochuan didn't bother to be polite with him. He went over and directly picked him up and carried him to the bedroom. He walked so fast that Mi Yang was startled. He hooked his hand around his neck to steady himself. He looked up and asked, "Where are you going?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Go to bed."
Mi Yang: "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Bai Luochuan sneered, "Where can you go? Are you going to clean up a guest room next door, or go outside and sleep on the sofa?" He carried the man to the bed, and lay down on it himself, half covering Mi Yang and pressing him down, saying, "Sleep here, and don't go anywhere."
When Mi Yang came to stay overnight before, the two of them slept in the same bed, but this was the first time during the day. He raised his eyes and glanced at the door.
Bai Luochuan pinched his chin and asked him to turn around and look at him, squinting his eyes and said, "I have been wearing the ring for so many days, grandpa and the others have already seen it. Didn't I tell you at lunch that I want you to live a good life with me and listen to me?"
Mi Yang: "Nonsense, Grandpa Bai told us to be humble to each other and not quarrel..."
Bai Luochuan held his hand and put it to his mouth and bit it, then snorted, "Then you should let me go now."
Mi Yang opened his mouth to retort, but before he could utter a word, the overbearing and unreasonable young master pressed him down and kissed him, over and over again, deep and hard. After a while, he felt so dizzy that he couldn't remember anything. He moved his fingers but hugged the other person to deepen the kiss.
"Just a kiss."
"Um."
"No, take off... take off my clothes..."
He was responded with a soft laugh. Bai Luochuan rubbed his nose twice and kissed him on the lips, but he did not respond easily. "Little darling, I missed you."
Mi Yang tried hard to stay awake.
Master Bai leaned in and kissed him twice more, his lips pressed against his and he whispered earnestly, "I miss you so much, so much."
Mi Yang's army was shaken, but after holding on for a while, he couldn't help but give in and slowly loosened his grip. Bai Luochuan understood what he meant, and smiled as he kissed him while reaching down and whispering his name. He wanted to convey all his thoughts to the man in his arms.
Mi Yang bit his lip, trying not to make any sound. Even when he was confused, he was still thinking: It's not that our defense is low, it's really that the enemy is too cunning.
Mi Yang stayed in the Bai family's old house for a day, and went back to Old Lady Cheng with Bai Luochuan at noon the next day.
The two houses were not far away, but Bai Luochuan still drove over and carefully selected some gifts. He seemed more relaxed than the last time he went there, probably because he felt that he had the protection of his elders at home and had passed the most difficult hurdle.
Mi Yang saw the gifts prepared in his car and remembered what he had brought: "I also prepared a piece of jewelry for Aunt Luo. Can you bring it to her for me in the evening? It's a brooch."
Bai Luochuan looked up at him with a surprised look on his face: "Aren't you going back with me tonight?"
Mi Yang: “…”
Mi Yang rubbed the tip of his nose and said vaguely: "It's not good for me to go there for two days in a row."
Bai Luochuan was much more straightforward than him. He parked the car steadily in front of the Cheng family courtyard: "Then I won't go back either. I'll stay here with you. You can give the brooch to my mother in person when you go over tomorrow."
Mi Yang wanted to persuade him, but the married man got out of the car without hesitation, carrying the gift. It looked like he had no intention of staying alone in the empty house. Mi Yang felt helpless and amused, so he could only quickly follow his footsteps and step into the house together.
