After the college entrance examination, Chen Yang stayed at home and refused to go out. He promised Du Shuo to continue their marriage before the coming of age. In return, he had to fulfill their husband-wife relationship. On the night of his 18th birthday, he and Du Shuo consummated their marriage and became husband-wife. It was a set-in-stone relationship that could not be repudiated or divorced.
In July, Chen Yang received the admission letter from University B. He packed up his things and took the train to go to the capital with Du Shuo to study. Grandpa Wu had left him a bank card with a lot of money in it, enough to pay for his tuition and living expenses. However, there was no house in the capital, so if Chen Yang stayed there, Du Shuo would have nowhere to live.
Although Du Shuo didn't often appear in the world of the living, the two of them also needed some space to be alone, and they couldn't go to a hotel every time they met. So Chen Yang rented a house near the school after living in the dormitory for a semester. There are many old houses near the school, with quiet environment and cheap price. So he simply rented it for four years and regarded it as a stable home for himself and Du Shuo.
Du Shuo chose to find a job in the imperial capital of the living world when Chen Yang was a sophomore, and later became the director of the Dafu General Administration. The emperor was not familiar with the worldly life and did not know the high cost of food, oil, salt and firewood. He just heard Chen Yang complain about the rent increase once and took the money to pay the rent for four years at once. Chen Yang was very surprised. Only then did he know that Du Shuo had taken a job in the living world.
Chen Yang asked him: "What job did you take?"
Du Shuo: "Look at Feng Shui."
"Can you also read Feng Shui?" Chen Yang was curled up barefoot on the fabric sofa, hugging a pillow. He turned around and asked Du Shuo who had just returned.
"I know a little bit." Du Shuo took off his scarf and hung it on the hanger, took off his shoes, sat on the sofa and hugged Chen Yang. He said, "They believe everything I say. Generally speaking, there are relatively few Feng Shui problems that require me to look at, and they are not difficult." The Feng Shui problems that require Du Shuo to look at are generally related to the country's fortune. Such situations are rare, and he may not even need to take action in a year. But as long as he takes action, it can be easily solved.
Chen Yang nodded, thinking it was a job to check the Feng Shui of the house. So he asked, "Does this count as taking extra money? If Fengdu finds out, will you be punished?"
"No. No."
Chen Yang's eyebrows curved, and he suddenly said: "Oh, right, I suddenly dreamed of Grandpa Wu yesterday. He said he would come to see me in the next few days, and I don't know how he will come back. Grandpa Wu said that he has a good relationship with the ghost, and the ghost let him out to meet me out of personal favoritism."
Wu Kui is now the City God of Pingcheng, and a City God cannot leave the city he guards without permission. Unless he finds someone to replace him, he cannot leave for too many days. Du Shuo was thinking about this absentmindedly, and suddenly Wu Kui's face flashed through his mind, and he immediately began to feel a headache. He almost forgot that he had vowed in front of Wu Kui that the engagement was annulled, but now not only was it not annulled, he also ate Chen Yang and slept with him every night.
The wise, brave, and decisive Emperor Fengdu felt a little guilty for the first time. He coughed twice and asked Chen Yang, "Have you ever mentioned me to Wu Kui... cough, Grandpa Wu?"
"I forgot." Chen Yang turned around and said, "Grandpa Wu only came into my dream and talked to me for a few words before leaving. He seemed very busy. It doesn't matter. It's the same to wait until he comes back."
Du Shuo thought that since Wu Kui knew his identity and was now under the jurisdiction of Fengdu, he could be considered his subordinate. For the sake of his superior, he should at least not pursue the matter. After all, he was the Emperor of Fengdu.
The emperor had a beautiful imagination. Although Grandpa Wu did not expose him, it was entirely for Chen Yang's sake. At that time, he borrowed the body of an old man who had only three days left to live. Of course, he borrowed the body after the old man agreed to a fair trade with him. He found the house where Chen Yang rented, rang the doorbell, and when he saw Chen Yang opening the door, he raised a kind smile: "Yangyang, Grandpa Wu is here to see you."
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, but soon recognized him and happily opened the door to welcome him in. The grandfather and grandson sat on the sofa and talked about their lives over the past three years. Grandpa Wu said, "I'm doing fine. Overall, it's not bad. How about you, Yangyang? How are you doing? Do you have enough money? Are you bullied at school? I heard that school violence is terrible nowadays, you must be careful."
Chen Yang nodded: "I'm fine, very good. I didn't encounter school violence, and even if I did, they couldn't beat me. I have enough money, Grandpa Wu left a lot. Grandpa Wu, how long will you stay here this time?"
Grandpa Wu: "Three days. This body I'm borrowing only has three days left to live."
Chen Yang was indifferent to the separation of life and death. He knew that Grandpa Wu would only stay for three days, but he was not too sad. After all, the separation at this time did not mean a farewell forever, and they would still meet again. So he changed the subject and said to Grandpa Wu: "I'll make you some tea."
Grandpa Wu was surprised: "Don't you think the tea is bitter and refuse to drink it?"
Chen Yang smiled: "Du Shuo likes it."
"Da-Dushuo? You still live together. Yangyang, did you listen to Grandpa Wu's words and really treat Dushuo like a father?"
Chen Yang nodded: "Yeah."
Grandpa Wu: "What was Da-Dushuo's reaction?"
Ahem! Chen Yang coughed several times and almost blurted out the words "not only happy but also extremely excited". He nodded randomly: "No, no objection."
Grandpa Wu thought that his trick of finding a godfather to save the country was successful, and nodded with satisfaction. He then saw that many things in the room were sets, and according to his guess, they should be couple sets. Looking at Chen Yang who was pouring tea, he thought that he was 21 years old now, and it was time for him to have a girlfriend. Maybe he would be able to hold his grandson in his arms soon, hehe.
The more Grandpa Wu thought about it, the more he felt that life was wonderful.
The door opened from the outside, and Du Shuo walked in. He changed his slippers at the entrance, and saw a pair of unfamiliar old shoes. He guessed that Wu Kui had come. He walked to the living room calmly and looked at Grandpa Wu. Grandpa Wu stood up, with a calm attitude, respectful and kind, and treated Du Shuo as a guest and asked him to sit down and drink tea.
Du Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly and walked over to sit opposite Grandpa Wu. Grandpa Wu was quite enthusiastic and Du Shuo could keep up with the topic. For a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After a while, Chen Yang went to the kitchen to cook. When the food was ready and served on the table, he saw that the two of them were talking very enthusiastically about the planning of Fengdu and the ghosts in the world.
"Grandpa Wu, Brother Du, it's time to eat."
Grandpa Wu stood up, took two steps and paused, staring at Chen Yang: "What did you call him?"
Chen Yang glanced at Du Shuo: "Brother Du."
"You have no respect for your elder brother. Call me uncle." Grandpa Wu frowned and scolded.
Chen Yang looked puzzled. He looked back and forth at the two and finally said, "But Brother Du is my husband. Isn't it confusing to call him uncle?"
"What husband? What nonsense?" Grandpa Wu's face began to tremble, and he suddenly remembered that the couple's suits he saw were too big, like the supplies of two men. There were only large-sized men's shoes in the shoe cabinet, no women's shoes. He asked tremblingly: "Yangyang, tell me honestly, did you settle the engagement with Dushuo after you turned 18?"
"No." Chen Yang smiled a little embarrassedly: "We are already worthy of the name."
A whirlpool appeared in front of Grandpa Wu's eyes, almost snarling him in. He stared at the King of Fengdu, who remained calm and guiltless, and after a long while he managed to utter one sentence: "Big asshole!"
From then on, Grandpa Wu looked at the emperor with squinted eyes, without any respect.
The author has something to say: King Fengdu: Ahem, Grandpa Wu.
Grandpa Wu, who is a thousand years younger than the emperor: You are shameless.
