Chapter 64: Reach the stars

Zhu Xingyao turned to look at Jiang Tu. His face was calm, as if everything he did for her was natural. Zhu Xingyao bit her lip and lowered her head to enter her birthday. The screen unlocked and she opened the album. There were several categories in the album. She saw the name of the album with two golden stars at a glance.

The album contains 387 photos, all of which are photos of Zhu Xingyao from different periods, including stage photos, life photos, raw photos, etc.

Zhu Xingyao slid the progress bar to the end and found her high school photos. The last photo was the one that Jiang Tu forced Xia Jin to delete. When Zhu Xingyao looked at the photo again now, she was more deeply moved than before. She flipped through it and found that there were two photos that she had never seen before, and the pixels were very poor.

"Brother Tu, did you take these two photos secretly?" she asked.

Jiang Tu said: "Only one photo was taken by me, and the other one was seen on the forum."

Zhu Xingyao was silent, and then flipped through the pages again. Many of them were candid photos taken from unknown angles. Fortunately, she was pretty, so there were no particularly ugly photos. She drooped her eyelashes and whispered, "You've collected quite a lot."

Jiang Tu stopped the car in front of the red light, turned around to look at her and smiled.

Before, everyone agreed to go out for dinner. Lao Yuan reserved a private room. After the green light came on, Lao Yuan called Jiang Tu's mobile phone. Zhu Xingyao answered the call and leaned over to whisper in his ear. Lao Yuan said, "Let's not go out for dinner. Let's buy the ingredients and have a hot pot at your house. Du Yunfei is also willing. Let's buy some wine and chat slowly after dinner. It will be more lively than outside."

Jiang Tu felt that Lao Yuan was looking for an excuse to spend more time with Lin Jiayu, but he didn't care: "It's up to you."

On the way, Jiang Tu parked the car in front of a supermarket. He and Lao Yuan went in to buy things. It was almost seven o'clock when they returned to the apartment. Jianglu Club was nearby. Knowing that they were cooking hot pot at home, they ran over to eat for free, and brought two team members with them. They were already waiting downstairs, but Du Yunfei hadn't arrived. Lao Yuan said, "You go up first, I'll wait for him downstairs."

When Jiang Lu saw Zhu Xingyao, he smiled nonchalantly: "Goddess sister-in-law." The two team members looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they also followed suit and called her goddess sister-in-law.

Zhu Xingyao was slightly embarrassed. Wasn't this name a bit inappropriate? She looked at Jiang Tu, wanting him to correct him. Jiang Tu looked calm. He carried a lot of things, and held her hand with one hand as he walked towards the elevator. He didn't seem to intend to correct Jiang Lu.

Lin Jiayu winked at Zhu Xingyao: "Just call it early, it's just a matter of time anyway." She didn't think that the two of them would break up at this time. It was the right time and the right person. They had wasted so many years. Jiang Tu had waited for so many years, wasn't it just to marry Zhu Xingyao

Zhu Xingyao felt her hand being held tighter. She subconsciously looked up. Jiang Tu lowered his eyes to look at her. His eyes behind the lenses were dark and deep, full of emotions. Zhu Xingyao's heart trembled and she lowered her head in a hurry. Jiang Tu didn't explain because he wanted to marry her from the beginning.

Jiang Lu put his hand on Lin Jiayu's shoulder, glanced over here, and said jokingly, "That's right."

Lin Jiayu impatiently slapped his hand away: "I told you not to use me as a support. Men and women should not be intimate with each other, do you understand?"

Jiang Lu snorted: "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. You even pulled my pants off when I was a kid."

Lin Jiayu rolled her eyes: "You peed your pants, I..."

"Okay, okay, please stop talking about this, okay?" Jiang Lu thought of Lao Yuan and continued, "That Lao Yuan is your blind date, right? He looks okay, but not up to your standards for beauty control, right? My brother may not know you very well..."

"Shut up." Jiang Tu said coldly.

Jiang Lu looked at the ceiling and said silently, "How heartless."

The elevator door opened and several people walked out.

Back at the apartment, Jiang Tu put the ingredients into the kitchen. Zhu Xingyao took off her coat and wore a beige sweater and cashmere skirt. She followed him and said, "I'll help."

Jiang Tu is usually very busy and doesn't cook much, but the kitchen is fully equipped with kitchen utensils. He took out the rice cooker and turned to look at her: "No, go to the living room and play for a while."

In the living room, Jiang Lu was watching the live broadcast. Lin Jiayu patted him on the head and said, "Aren't you going to eat anymore? Go help!"

Jiang Lu was driven into the kitchen to help.

Zhu Xingyao was also driven out by Jiang Tu.

The doorbell rang, and she went to open the door. From the surveillance video, she saw Lao Yuan and a tall, thin young man arm in arm. Lao Yuan and Du Yunfei came out of the elevator, and Du Yunfei was saying, "You said that the girl Jiang Tu introduced to you is from No. 1 Middle School? Does she know Zhu Xingyao?"

Old Yuan said calmly: "Yes, I know him. We have a good relationship."

Du Yunfei excitedly said, "Really? Then introduce him to me. After the concert the day after tomorrow, take me to meet Zhu Xingyao, get his autograph and take a photo with him..." His voice suddenly got stuck and he stared at the door in amazement.

—Zhu Xingyao opened the door and stood there with a slightly raised smile on her lips.

Du Yunfei's heart was a little bit overwhelmed. He held onto Old Yuan and stuttered, "Old, old, old, old Yuan, is there something wrong with my eyes? Why do I see Zhu Xingyao standing at the door?"

“How old am I? You called me old five times…” Old Yuan sighed and pulled him over.

Zhu Xingyao was still standing at the door. She smiled at Du Yunfei and said, "Hello, you are not mistaken."

Lin Jiayu came over, looked at Du Yunfei, and smiled: "You are Du Yunfei, I have heard that you are a fanatical fan of Zhu Xingyao!"

Du Yunfei pinched his thigh fiercely, grimacing in pain: "Fuck! No, that's not it... Goddess, listen to me, I'm not such a rude person..." He explained with a red face, "I was just too excited!"

Zhu Xingyao and Lin Jiayu were both laughing. Lin Jiayu said, "Why are you so funny?"

Du Yunfei blushed with excitement. He was too embarrassed to look Zhu Xingyao in the eye. Old Yuan introduced Lin Jiayu to Du Yunfei. A few people walked into the room. Du Yunfei grabbed Old Yuan and whispered through gritted teeth: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? You almost made me look bad."

Old Yuan said frankly: "What's the point of telling you in advance?"

Jiang Tu came out of the kitchen and saw Du Yunfei. He smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Du Yunfei became excited again and walked over to hug him: "It's been four years since we last met. You're really different." He turned to look at Zhu Xingyao and said in a low voice, "Jiang Tu, you're really not nice. Why didn't you tell me that Xiao Lin and Zhu Xingyao are good friends? Tell me, have you known Zhu Xingyao for a long time?"

Jiang Tu was silent for a moment, then looked at Lao Yuan: "Yes, Lao Yuan didn't tell you?"

Old Yuan coughed.

Du Yunfei cursed: "No, that guy just wanted to laugh at me!"

"How do you cut this raw beef?" Jiang Lu shouted in the kitchen.

Jiang Tu said: "You guys go sit in the living room, you can eat later."

Ten minutes later, the hot pot started boiling, and everyone gathered around to eat hot pot. Lao Yuan opened a few cans of beer and shared them with everyone. Du Yunfei picked up the beer and was about to clink glasses with Jiang Tu: "I really miss the days of eating skewers and drinking beer in the dormitory. Come on, come on, we haven't seen each other for so long, we have to have a few drinks."

Just as Jiang Tu picked up the water cup, someone gently pulled his sleeve and he looked down at Zhu Xingyao.

Zhu Xingyao handed him the beer and whispered, "Drink it, and then ask Lao Liu to pick me up later." Du Yunfei and Lao Yuan were in such high spirits, and Du Yunfei and Jiang Tu hadn't seen each other for such a long time. If he refused to drink in order to send her home, it would spoil their mood.

Jiang Tu paused, took her beer, and said, "Okay."

Du Yunfei looked at them and was stunned for a moment. Jiang Tu raised his beer and clinked it with him. He came back to his senses, but he always felt that something was wrong. Was Jiang Tu so familiar with Zhu Xingyao? Not only familiar, but also revealed a sense of intimacy.

Jiang Lu started a live broadcast, pointing the camera at himself and the two teammates beside him, "Did you see that? We are really eating hot pot at my brother's house. We will be back soon."

Old Yuan leaned over to take a look and saw the screen full of "husband". As soon as his face appeared, someone immediately flooded the screen with comments: "Who is that person next to him?"

Jiang Lu said: "My brother's college classmate."

Another fan flooded the screen with comments: "Your brother must be very handsome too!"

Jiang Lu smiled, "He is handsome, but not as handsome as me."

Lin Jiayu turned around and complained to Zhu Xingyao: "I've never seen such a narcissistic person."

Jiang Lu stood up and turned his phone. "No, if I put the camera in his face, he will beat me... Yes, brutal and ruthless. I was beaten a lot when I was a kid. Didn't I tell you? You forgot it now? Are you a fake fan?" He scanned the camera at everyone, not their faces. "Although he is ruthless, he has a girlfriend... Of course she is beautiful, a goddess."

"Jiang Lu, go and add some water." Lin Jiayu instructed him.

"Not my sister-in-law, but my sister. You who read novels may know her..." Jiang Lu brought out a large bowl of water. He was holding his cell phone and not paying much attention. He tripped over the plug cord on the floor and fell forward. He quickly supported Jiang Tu's shoulder. The water splashed out of the bowl. Unfortunately, Zhu Xingyao was affected. Her face, hair and neck were cold. She screamed and the water flowed down her neck into her collar. She shivered with the cold.

Jiang Tu's shoulder was also wet. He pushed Jiang Lu away with a sullen face, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe Zhu Xingyao's face. He frowned and looked at her sweater, which was wet in a large area, and even her skirt was wet. Jiang Lu hurriedly said, "Brother, I didn't mean it. Goddess sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Zhu Xingyao was still a little confused, and let Jiang Tu wipe her face. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Lu, "It's okay..."

Lin Jiayu glared at Jiang Lu: "Why are you live streaming while eating? Really..." She touched Zhu Xingyao's sweater and said helplessly, "It's all wet. Why don't you go change into Jiang Tu's clothes?"

Jiang Tu pulled Zhu Xingyao to stand up and said indifferently, "You guys eat first, I'll take her to deal with it."

Du Yunfei's expression was dull, and he turned to ask Lao Yuan until Jiang Tu and Zhu Xingyao disappeared, "What's their relationship?"

Old Yuan had a look of success on his face: "What do you think?"

Jiang Lu even called her "goddess sister-in-law". Jiang Tu, with his icy personality, carefully wiped Zhu Xingyao's face and took her to the bedroom to change clothes... What the hell could this be?

Du Yunfei felt that his heart was a little bit bad. The goddess became his roommate's girlfriend, and he knew nothing about it. Du Yunfei slapped Lao Yuan on the back: "Damn it! You did it on purpose, didn't you? You knew it a long time ago, right?"

Lin Jiayu blinked: "Old Yuan is not kind."

Old Yuan was almost vomiting blood after being slapped by Du Yunfei. He raised his hands in surrender: "I just wanted to give you a surprise. Think about how shocked I was when I first found out. Wasn't it the same for you? They were classmates in high school and even sat at the same table..."

Du Yunfei asked blankly: "My deskmate???"

Lao Yuan said, "Yes, my deskmate."

Jiang Lu picked up his phone, and the screen was full of pop-ups. He looked at his two teammates: "Zhou Yan, are you guys full? We're ready to go."

The team member said weakly: "We have only eaten half of it, right? I am still growing..."

Jiang Lu said, "No more eating, let's go."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Old Yuan also asked.

Jiang Lu said calmly, "I'm afraid my brother will come out and beat someone up later. I'm not that ruthless and I can't beat him." He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

In the master bedroom, Zhu Xingyao sat on Jiang Tu's dark gray bed and watched Jiang Tu open the closet. He didn't have many clothes, which only took up half of the closet, and the colors were also very monotonous, mostly black, white and gray.

Jiang Tu frowned slightly, took out a set of black sportswear, looked back at her, and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay to wear this?"

The author has something to say: Today it is Xingxing who is wearing Tu Ge’s clothes, Tu Ge who wants to get married, the confused Du Yunfei, the cunning Lao Yuan, the abusive Jia Yu and the runaway Jiang Xiaolu.

You all seem to have misunderstood. I'm not talking about the end of marriage when I say marriage! I said before that this article would be about the aftermath of marriage. My previous articles basically ended with the proposal, but this one has a different setting. There's still some content after marriage~
