Can I take you away with me?

Li Ying looked at him; his black eyes swept slowly across Jiang Yu’s face, as if he were seriously analysing this question.

The corners of Jiang Yu’s mouth were slightly curved, and he looked at him with great interest, as if he were looking forward to his answer.

“It seems…” The corners of Li Ying’s lips curled up slightly, there was a slight smile in his eyes, and his tone was a bit slow, “It’s a bit alike.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately grinned a few times, then raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand, and gestured back and forth between them: “Then between the two of us, who is more handsome?”

Hearing this, Li Ying also smiled. He slowly looked at Jiang Yu’s expectant eyes; the corners of his eyes were slightly bent, and his tone was soft: “You are more handsome.”

Hearing this answer, Jiang Yu was very satisfied.

……

After playing, Jiang Yu was going to eat at his own restaurant for dinner, and Li Ying drove him off. And Jiang Yu’s two friends also wanted to accompany their girlfriend on a date, so they parted ways at the gate of the stadium.

When Li Ying went to bring the car, Jiang Yu stood there and chatted with the two classmates for a while. After he drove the car over, Jiang Yu walked to the passenger door and waved goodbye to everyone.

After the young boys and girls watched the car carrying Jiang Yu slowly drive away, the two girls bowed their heads and whispered for a while, while the two boys stood in the same place and discussed the car that Li Ying was driving.

“Damn, this is my dream car—low-key luxury with connotations.”

“How much does this car cost?”

“One million or so, look at the configuration. But this car is notoriously low-key; most people can’t see that it costs this much. Basically only rich people will buy this car and drive it, just to keep a low profile.”

“Jiang Yu’s friend looks really rich.”

“Those who drive this kind of car are probably not ordinary rich; otherwise, who would be willing to buy it?”

It wasn’t until their car turned the corner that the two boys turned around to look for their respective girlfriends and saw them both grinning and whispering.

“What are you talking about? You look so excited.” One of the boys asked.

His girlfriend raised her head when she heard the sound, looked at her boyfriend twice, blinked suddenly, and said, “We are talking about whether your classmate and his friend are a couple?”

The two boys were taken aback when they heard the words, then subconsciously glanced at each other, and then laughed out loud.

“Jiang Yu?” One of the boys seemed to have heard some really funny jokes and laughed while talking, saying, “How is it possible? We have been classmates for three years, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have such a tendency.”

Another boy also said, “Don’t think about it; you two said last time that we were gay here and gay there, like a pair of gay friends.”

Hearing this, the two girls looked at each other in dismay, shrugged their shoulders, and said nothing.

……

The weather in spring is always indeterminate, with large temperature differences between morning and evening. Jiang Yu had just finished playing, and he was still wearing a thin, sleeveless basketball jersey. A gust of wind came in through the window and hit his sweaty body.

Li Ying spotted him caressing his arm from the corner of his eye, turned his head to look over, and raised his hand to close the crack of the car window: “Do you feel cold?”

“En, a little.” Jiang Yu leaned lazily on the car seat, wishing to cross his legs.

Li Ying quickly swept him around and then said, “I have a T-shirt in the back seat; it’s clean; you can put it on first.”

“No need to change.” Jiang Yu didn’t even look back and said leisurely, “I’m going to have a meal and then go home. I’ll be fine for a while.”

Li Ying stared straight ahead and didn’t say anything after hearing the words. After about half a minute, he held the steering wheel with one hand and took off his coat.

Jiang Yu caught a glimpse of his movements and looked over. Sure enough, the next second, Li Ying threw the coat over to him.

“I really don’t feel that cold.” Jiang Yu held his coat in his hands and looked at him sideways, “And I’m used to it; I only wear three pieces of clothes in winter at most.”

“…I know.” Li Ying tilted his head and glanced at him, “It’s easy to catch a cold when the season changes; I don’t want to supervise you taking medicine.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu laughed out loud: “How can I catch a cold so easily? What do you think of me? I can count the number of colds and fevers I have had since I was a child on one hand. That time was purely bad luck, and you happened to run into it.”

Hearing what he said, Li Ying didn’t speak anymore.

Jiang Yu glanced sideways. Li Ying was driving the car seriously; his eyes were fixed on the front, and he couldn’t see any emotion.

Jiang Yu looked at him twice, then retracted his eyes; his eyes drooped slightly, as if he were thinking about something. After a while, he silently put on his coat.

Seeing this scene from the corner of her eyes, Li Ying hooked his mouth lightly, but there was a little helplessness in his eyes.

He had never seen anyone more worrisome than Jiang Yu.

The distance was very short, and during the short distance of a few minutes, neither of them spoke again. When the car stopped near Jiang’s restaurant, Jiang Yu was thinking about whether to invite Li Ying in for dinner, slowly taking off his coat.

“You can wear it.” Li Ying said.

Hearing his voice, Jiang Yu raised his head to look at him, put on the coat back, and asked, “Do you want to go in for dinner?”

After a slight pause, he added with a smile, “It’s my treat; order as you like.”

Hearing this, Li Ying also smiled and looked at him: “So good offer? Then if I don’t eat it, will it be a bit of a loss?”

“Yes, it will be too bad if you don’t eat it.” Jiang Yu unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the car door, and said, “Quick, I’ll give you a chance to kill me.”

Li Ying curled his lips and smiled: “Okay, you go in first; I will park the car.”

Seeing that he agreed to come down, Jiang Yu was immediately happy. He just got out of the car and was about to enter the restaurant when he remembered something and went around to Li Ying’s side. Seeing this, the latter immediately lowered the window glass.

Jiang Yu leaned down, put his arms on the car window, and poked his head inside halfway: “Tell me what you want to eat first.”

Li Ying looked at Jiang Yu, who was leaning over his face and wearing his coat at this time, and introducing him one by one to the dishes with good popularity in the restaurant. When he spoke, his eyes were wide open, and his face was bright.

Li Ying watched him proficiently report the names of many dishes in one breath, and then his throat seemed to be a little dry, and he swallowed. On his fair neck, the three-dimensional and protruding Adam’s apple immediately bobbed up and down.

Then Jiang Yu asked, “These are special dishes; what do you want to eat?”

Li Ying pursed his lips slightly, looked away, and subconsciously took the water bottle in the armrest box: “You can choose.”

After a short pause, he looked sideways again and said, “I can eat whatever you like.”

Jiang Yu looked at him for two seconds, seeming to be recalling, “Okay, then I’ll order according to my taste.”

“Yeah.” Li Ying said.

……

When he entered the restaurant, Jiang Meng happened to be there too. She had already finished her meal and was chatting with Mama Jiang.

Jiang Yu walked over and said, “Mom, I want to treat my friend to dinner. You can prepare a few dishes for me, just the ones I like to eat.”

Hearing this, Jiang Meng first turned his head and looked over: “Which friend?”

Jiang Yu leaned lazily by her side and said, “Li Ying.”

Jiang Meng: “…”

She guessed it right.

Jiang Meng looked at Jiang Yu with a bit of inquiry in her eyes: “You two have a good relationship now and play together every day.”

Jiang Yu paused for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: “Envious?”

“…I am very envious.” Jiang Meng spoke slowly. She looked at the fool in front of her who lacked a heart and smiled inexplicably, “But I am more envious of Li Ying that I can’t meet a fool like you.”

Jiang Yu stared at her, subconsciously thinking that Jiang Meng was condemning Li Ying’s previous “scumbag” behaviour.

He thought for a few seconds and decided to say a few words for Li Ying: “Did you misunderstand him too much? I have observed that he treats me similarly to you and usually takes good care of me. It’s not like he is also interested in me, being ambiguous with me.”

Jiang Meng looked at her own brother for two seconds, then shook her head helplessly. She didn’t know how Jiang Yu got infinitely close to the truth but also got farther and farther away from it.

Jiang Meng really thought it was funny and couldn’t help laughing. Although she was a little sorry for Li Ying, she was suddenly a little curious about what kind of dramatic scene Jiang Yu would be in if he knew the truth.

She was looking forward to it.

Jiang Yu: “…”

Before saying a few words, Li Ying, who had parked the car, walked in, and Jiang Yu stood up upon seeing this.

Li Ying walked up to him and nodded slightly at Jiang Meng. Just at that moment, Mama Jiang came back from the back kitchen.

Seeing this, Li Ying paused for a moment, then politely nodded to Mama Jiang and said hello: “Hello auntie, I’m Jiang Yu’s friend. Sorry to bother you.”

“It’s all right; you didn’t bother.” Mama Jiang waved her hands when she heard the words and said with a smile, “You are welcome to come and play with Xiao Yu more often. Just tell him what you want to eat.”

“Okay.” Li Ying responded with a smile and nodded politely.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Meng felt a little subtle, as if a “son-in-law” had come to visit.

After watching Jiang Yu and Li Ying walk to the table in the corner of the hall and sit down, Mama Jiang’s gaze was still on Li Ying.

Jiang Meng looked at her mother.

Sure enough, not long after, Mama Jiang turned to look at her and said, “Your classmate is really good, and he is also good-looking. I heard you say before that he is also very good at studying. Then why don’t you hurry up and ask Jiang Yu to help you match up with him?”

“Yeah, very good.” Jiang Meng said with a lack of interest that she suddenly thought of something; she just wanted her mother to make her dream a little more daring. “Not only that, his family is also very, very rich.”

Mama Jiang was a little panicked when she heard this.

“Such a good condition.” Jiang’s mother guessed, “Then it seems he probably really doesn’t like our family.”

Jiang Meng thought: Not necessarily.

“Mom, don’t think that way; you might as well make your dreams bolder.” Jiang Meng said, “Although he can’t be your son-in-law, you can make him be your son-in-law.”
(vv: basically, what JM meant was that although he can’t be your son-in-law [by marriage to your daughter], you can make him your son-in-law [by marriage to your son])

It was just said casually, and Mother Jiang was stunned for a moment before realising the meaning and immediately making a gesture to slap her.

Jiang Meng dodged with a smile.

……

Jiang Yu found that he and Li Ying had a wonderful and unceasing relationship, as if he had to owe him something and had to find a chance to repay it. If Yue Lao has a friendship line, then he and Li Ying must be tightly bound.
(vv: 月老Yue Lao means the Old Man of the Moon: the god of marriage, matchmaker.)

Ah, he took Li Ying’s clothes back home again! He didn’t think of this until he stepped into the house.

Jiang Yu immediately took out his mobile phone and sent him a WeChat message:

[Jiang Yu: Have you noticed what you left behind?]

After half a minute, Li Ying replied.

[Li Ying: You?]

When he saw this message, Jiang Yu was walking to the door of the room when he burst out laughing suddenly, leaning halfway on the door frame to type. Unexpectedly, the male god would also joke.

[Jiang Yu: Then come back and take me away.]

[Jiang Yu: I forgot to give you your coat again. *Bitter*]

[Jiang Yu: Do you want to come back and get it?]

After about two minutes:

[Li Ying: Can I take you away with me when I go back?]
