Chapter 95, Lunar New Year's Day 3: Meeting my brother-in-law...
chapter 95
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Jiang Yuming has a variety show to perform...
It's a hastily put-together variety show about celebrating Lunar New Year's Eve...
The variety show progressed smoothly until its end, without any unexpected incidents. The boy was no longer the same as before, and now, with the help of his older brother, he was thriving in the cutthroat entertainment industry...
With a constant stream of resources, he can choose any script he wants, and Xu Xingcheng will think of him first whenever there are excellent resources available...
Everything was going very smoothly, and he was getting closer and closer to winning the Best Actor award...
Little did he know that the closer he got to that trophy, the sooner the person he loved would leave him...
If he knew all this, would he still want to become a movie star?
……
"Uncle... my brother told me to come home. He's prepared New Year's Eve dinner and asked me to bring you along too..."
Meng Youcheng's mind was blank, and he didn't hear what he said at all.
"Uncle...!"
Meng Youcheng then realized what was happening and belatedly looked at the boy, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuming smiled and looked at him. "What were you thinking about just now?"
"Oh, I...it's nothing. By the way, what did you just say?"
The boy, still smiling, raised his hand and brushed a stray hair from Meng Youcheng's forehead. "I said... my brother asked us to come home for New Year's Eve dinner, and he told me to bring you along. What does that mean? Does this count as... meeting the parents?"
Meng Youcheng froze for a few seconds, then said, "Huh?"
After tidying his hair, Jiang Yuming smiled with satisfaction. "An elder brother is like a father to his children. My mother has passed away, and this is the first time I've brought you home, so I guess you could say I'm meeting the parents?"
Meng Youcheng gave a wry smile for a few seconds, but did not reply...
The boy thought for a moment, then said, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. I feel... I'm not satisfied with our current relationship. I want to go further with you, without being disturbed by anyone else. So, after thinking about it for a long time, let's... get married?"
"Oh, this...!"
Meng Youcheng was immediately at a loss. "This... what? This thing... um... isn't it allowed in China?"
"You could go abroad..."
"hehe……"
The man seemed very flustered. "This..."
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
Jiang Yuming interrupted him, "You did it and you don't want to take responsibility?"
"I……"
Meng Youcheng's expression became noticeably more panicked, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes darted around...
"I just feel that... marriage is something that needs careful consideration. It can't be rushed. You need to prepare well... and then... get the consent of both families, and then..."
"Of course I'll take it slow..."
Jiang Yuming smiled and said, "Life only happens once, I know. I will definitely do my best and won't let you down. I was just thinking that you... didn't want to marry me, which made me worry for a while. But now that I know you are willing, I'm very happy, really..."
Meng Youcheng did not reply, and still dared not look him in the eye...
After thinking for a while, she changed the subject and asked, "Oh, by the way... I've been wanting to ask you, how old is your brother this year?"
Jiang Yuming thought for a few minutes, "Around 36, I don't remember exactly, it seems to be 36..."
Meng Youcheng finally dared to look him in the eye. "Then do you know how old I am?"
Without thinking, the boy said, "30? Didn't you tell me that before? What happened?"
The man immediately became angry. "You told me before that you called me 'uncle' because your uncle is 30. Now your brother is 36, a full six years older than me. Why didn't you call me 'brother' back then? Why did you have to call me 'uncle'..."
Meng Youcheng thought for a long time, "Wait a minute... Your uncle is 30 years old, and your brother is 36 years old, a full six years apart. You're telling me they're uncle and nephew, and the nephew is so much older than the uncle, do you really have an uncle?"
Jiang Yuming paused for a few seconds, then said, "My grandfather... had a son late in life, do you believe it?"
I believed it at first... but...
He asked, "Do you believe it?"
Meng Youcheng immediately disbelieved it...
He put on a stern face and said seriously, "What do you think? Do you think I should believe it?"
"I……"
"to be honest!!!"
Jiang Yuming thought awkwardly for a long time before slowly uttering a few words, "At first... it was indeed because you looked... a lot like the person who kidnapped me, so I was afraid of you, and I thought..."
"To keep some distance from you, I started calling you 'Uncle.' But after calling you that a few times, I just couldn't stop, so I... made up a lie about having a younger uncle... I just wanted to... keep calling you that, because it would be really troublesome if I did, so I..."
"Um..."
Meng Youcheng sighed wearily, "I give up. I really thought you had a younger uncle, and I really thought your younger uncle was 30 years old. I was so naive to think..."
The man said angrily, "Do you know how incredibly embarrassed I feel every time you call me 'uncle'? I'm terrified that someone will see. I'm 30 years old and I have a 19-year-old nephew..."
"Ah...no, you have to change how you address me, you have to call me brother...uncle is too much..."
"Actually, I call you 'uncle' not because I can't change how I address you..."
Jiang Yuming said anxiously, "It's because there's another reason."
Meng Youcheng froze for a few seconds, looking at him with suspicion. "What other reason could there be? Was it intentional? Did you deliberately call me 'uncle' to embarrass me?"
"How is that possible...?"
The boy said excitedly, "How could I possibly embarrass you? I just..."
"Because I get really excited when I call you uncle."
Don't you feel it's particularly taboo to call someone "uncle"?
Jiang Yuming's cheeks flushed slightly. "Anyway, I felt... kind of... excited all over..."
The man was stunned...
"I……"
The boy grabbed his hand again...
Startled, Meng Youcheng quickly pulled away, "No...no..."
"You've touched me so many times already, what are you being shy about? Besides, there's no one here..."
Jiang Yuming grabbed his hand tightly. "You're so shy... it makes me feel embarrassed too. So, Uncle... let me call you Uncle. I don't want to change it, and when I call you Uncle... I get really excited, you know?"
"Scream, scream, scream...okay, okay?"
Meng Youcheng laughed through his tears, forcefully pushing his hand away. "You can yell however you want, but... don't do it here, okay? There are toilets here, but people come and go... I... really..."
Jiang Yuming immediately laughed, "Uncle... what are you thinking? You don't actually think... I'm going to beg you to go to the toilet with me to do *that* kind of thing, do you?"
The man looked somewhat confused...
Is not it?
Every time you say you're aroused and need something to release your pent-up energy, then you completely ignore Meng Youcheng and just carry him to the toilet...
Jiang Yuming smiled and touched his face. "Uncle, you're so cute..."
"But you're overthinking it. I certainly wouldn't do it here. Besides, today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and I'm going back to my hometown. I need to save my energy for setting off fireworks tonight..."
Meng Youcheng slapped his hand away without hesitation, "Not cute..."
The boy patted his head again. "Don't think too much... I'll take you back to our hometown... okay?"
……
"This is where I used to live, the villa that trapped me for almost seven or eight years."
It was getting dark, and the weather was turning cooler, but not cold, so people were probably wearing thick clothes...
The car drove into the villa...
The nanny and butler rushed out. "Young Master, you're finally back! Where have you been all this time? We were so worried about you..."
Jiang Yuming got out of the car, smiling, and asked, "Where's my brother?"
"Young Master and Young Master Xu are waiting for you upstairs!"
The boy took Meng Youcheng's hand and led him upstairs...
"Although my house is a bit big, it has no human touch at all. I'm all alone here every day. The housekeeper and nanny only take care of my daily life. I don't even have anyone to talk to. Uncle... you don't know..."
Jiang Yuming gripped Meng Youcheng's hand tightly. "How did I get through those years?"
The man thought for a moment and replied, "The house is so big, and it's kept quite clean..."
The boy immediately laughed. "Were you even listening to me?"
"Yes... I just didn't know how to reply to you..."
Jiang Yuming laughed and said, "What's so hard about going back? Just tell me you'll stay by my side forever, you promise you'll never let me go back to my old life, you'll love me forever, and you'll be with me forever, and I'll be absolutely happy..."
Meng Youcheng's smile froze slightly. "Oh..."
"Oh what?"
Jiang Yuming hugged him. "Uncle... you're so cold to me... say what I just said again..."
"What did you say?"
"It means... to be with me for life, to stay by my side for life, to never abandon me for life, to never betray me for life, to love me for life..."
Jiang Yuming smiled, "You said..."
Meng Youcheng's smile vanished instantly. "I..."
