Qiao Mudong turned over and pinned He Yu underneath him.
He Yu couldn’t help but groan. The old mahogany sofa here was not like the soft and big leather sofa in Qiao Mudong’s house before. As soon as He Yu laid down on it, he felt a sudden pain in his back. Plus, Qiao Mudong was so heavy. Pressing up against him, He Yu could hear the sound of his own bones clashing.
He Yu pushed Qiao Mudong to get up, but Qiao Mudong refused and insisted, “Let’s do it here.”
He Yu’s face turned pale. He raised his leg and bumped it against Qiao Mudong’s lower body, causing him to turn over and sit up. He Yu propped himself up and said, “No, it’s too hard. It will kill a person.”
Qiao Mudong patted the wooden sofa under him. It did feel a bit hard, so he had to give up on it regretfully.
He Yu got up and looked around the first floor. He felt that it was a bit too big. In addition to the kitchen and bathroom, there were two bedrooms and a storage room on the first floor, plus the rooms on the second floor. For them, only two people would live here, so it felt a bit deserted.
Qiao Mudong was still sitting on the sofa. He saw He Yu turning around in a circle, looking depressed. He patted the seat next to him and asked him to come and sit down. Then he put his arm around his shoulder and asked, “Don’t you like it?”
He Yu shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t like it, I just think it’s too big for the both of us to live in.”
Qiao Mudong thought for a while, “Then we could hire two nannies.”
He Yu glanced at him helplessly. “It would’ve been better if you hire me instead and then pay me a good salary every month.”
Qiao Mudong asked, “Didn’t you dislike it because it’s too big?”
He Yu heard this and said, “It’s exactly because I only want the two of us to live in it, but it’s still too big for us. Let’s change to a smaller house.”
“Then what should we do about this?” Qiao Mudong seemed to like this house very much.
He Yu said, “Your grandpa left it to you, you can do whatever you want with it.”
Qiao Mudong straightened his legs, put them on the coffee table in front of him, and sighed. “Actually, it’s better if it’s big. The house before was so small that I couldn’t stand straight.”
“Stop it!” He Yu couldn’t help but pat his thigh.
“Okay,” Qiao Mudong said. “We’ll live here temporarily, and then we’ll move when we finally find a suitable house. But for now—” He stood up and pulled He Yu up. “Let’s go up and take a look at our bedroom.”
Qiao Mudong and He Yu did not choose the master bedroom with a study room upstairs. He Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable whenever he thought that Qiao Song once lived there.
The guest room was actually not small, with a balcony and bathroom. The bed was very large as well. For someone as big as Qiao Mudong, He Yu could still sleep on the opposite side without touching him.
Of course, it was impossible for He Yu not to be near him. Perhaps because he felt a little excited about the change of environment, Qiao Mudong resolutely pushed He Yu down and fucked him hard.
He Yu squeezed the bed sheets tightly with his fingers, raising his head and letting out a low gasp from time to time. The feeling of constant ramming and rubbing in the most sensitive part of his body made him unbearable and excited. However, what touched him more at this moment was that Qiao Mudong chose to face the outside world with him. Maybe this time, he could really go on with him until the end of their lives.
He Yu was both distracted and extremely addicted. Qiao Mudong just thought that he was immersed in the pleasure of their two bodies connecting, so he exerted more strength in his thrusts.
… …
Woken up by his biological clock in the morning, He Yu suddenly remembered that he had moved to the outskirts of the city and didn’t know how to catch the bus to work, so he quickly climbed out of bed.
Qiao Mudong glanced at him, turned over, and continued to sleep.
He Yu hurriedly took a shower, returned to the bed, and shook Qiao Mudong awake. “How should I take the bus?”
Qiao Mudong, with sleepy eyes and a lax attitude, actually said, “I don’t know.”
He Yu shook him hard and replied, “You must know.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Qiao Mudong had no choice but to sit up and say, “Just go out and take a taxi, ba. I really don’t know how to take the bus.”

When it was time to get off work, Qiao Mudong said he would pick him up.
He Yu asked, “Why are you picking me up? Are we going to travel by taxi again?”
Qiao Mudong smiled. “You’ll know when you come out.”
When He Yu walked out of the office building, he did not see Qiao Mudong around. At this time, he suddenly heard a new black Honda CRV next to him honking its horn. He Yu walked over and saw Qiao Mudong sitting in the driver’s seat, waving at him.
Qiao Mudong got out of the car. “This is for you, so that you don’t have to rush to get on the bus every day.”
He Yu was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch the hood of the car. A car worth around 200,000 yuan was not too expensive for Qiao Mudong now, but He Yu still found it a bit unimaginable. This was completely different from the future he had planned. He didn’t know whether to be surprised or regretful.
“He Yu!” Suddenly, someone shouted He Yu’s name from behind.
He Yu and Qiao Mudong turned to look at the same time and saw Xie Zhan trotting towards them.
The first thing Xie Zhan saw was He Yu. After he had already said hello, he realized that Qiao Mudong was also there. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he had to bite the bullet and continue.
Of course, Xie Zhan was not the only one who was embarrassed. He Yu also felt embarrassed because he did not introduce his relationship with Qiao Mudong to his colleagues or ordinary classmates like Xie Zhan.
Xie Zhan was a little surprised when he saw the new car in front of He Yu and asked, “He Yu, did you buy this car?” He didn’t consider at all that Qiao Mudong was capable of driving a car worth 200,000 yuan.
He Yu wasn’t sure whether to say yes or no. He didn’t know how to respond for a while.
At this time, Qiao Mudong said from the side, “It’s my car.”
Xie Zhan instantly smiled awkwardly and greeted Qiao Mudong, “Hello, Mr. Qiao. I’m He Yu’s classmate, my name is Xie Zhan. I wonder if you still have an impression of me?”
Qiao Mudong had no impression of him at all, but he still nodded politely to him. “Hello.”
Xie Zhan asked He Yu, “Where are you planning to go?”
He Yu smiled and said, “I’m going to have dinner with Qiao Mudong. He’s just picking me up from work along the way.”
“It’s like this, ah,” Xie Zhan said. “Then I won’t bother you anymore. I just saw you and wanted to say hello.”
He Yu nodded. “Then we’ll go first.”
Qiao Mudong and He Yu got into the car. He Yu waved to Xie Zhan. Just as Qiao Mudong started the car, he suddenly asked, “Are you going home? Do you want me to give you a ride?”
Xie Zhan quickly refused, “No, no, it’s not convenient, you can go first, ba.”
Qiao Mudong smiled at him and nodded, saying, “Then we’ll go first.”
The car drove not too far. Qiao Mudong stopped the car on the side of the road and said to He Yu, “Come and try your car.”
Seeing that it was inconvenient to park here, He Yu did not refuse. He quickly changed seats with Qiao Mudong, started the car, and drove into the rush hour traffic.
Ever since he got his driver’s license, he had been driving less and was somewhat unskilled. He stared straight ahead and said, “You’d better keep this to yourself. You have a lot of things to do every day. It’s very inconvenient to suddenly not have a car with you.”
Qiao Mudong said, “I don’t mind.”
He Yu tentatively asked, “Should we buy another one?” Then he added, “I will buy a cheaper car while you can keep this one for yourself.”
Qiao Mudong smiled. “Have you ever seen a big boss drive his own car?”
He Yu heard this and asked back with a smile, “Where’s the big boss?”
Qiao Mudong snorted and patted his chest.
He Yu asked again, “Boss Qiao, where are you going to eat tonight?”
Qiao Mudong pointed with his big hand. “Just drive forward and follow my command.”
The two of them were stuck in traffic for almost two hours before they finally drove to the north of Chengbei Railway Station. Qiao Mudong asked him to find a parking lot to park.
“Here?” He Yu was a little surprised. “What can we eat here?”
Although he was not familiar with the northern part of the city, he had been to the train station area many times. It was not that there was no food here, but it was not a place suitable for two people to have a quiet date.
But since Qiao Mudong said that, he still drove to an underground parking lot and then followed Qiao Mudong outside.
The two people came out of the parking lot and passed through an underground passage. As soon as they came out, He Yu saw Li Tang standing in front of a fast food restaurant, waving to them.
“Brother Li?” He Yu was startled.
Qiao Mudong held his shoulders and asked him to walk forward with him.
Li Tang wore a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray jeans, making him appear slender. He said hello to the two of them and entered the fast-food restaurant first.
He Yu was confused. “We’re eating here? Did you make an appointment with Brother Li to eat here?”
Qiao Mudong answered, “Yes, I brought you here so that you can give it a try.”
It was a Chinese fast food restaurant that served Chinese set meals, and the meals were served very quickly. In addition, there was a huge flow of people near the train station. Many people dragged their suitcases, asked for a meal, sat down, ate in a hurry, and then left, so the flow efficiency was also very high.
Qiao Mudong took He Yu to find a seat good for four people and asked He Yu, “What do you want to eat? I’ll order.”
“Where’s Brother Li?” He Yu asked.
Qiao Mudong pointed in the direction of the ordering counter. “We’re queuing up. Tell us what you want to eat.”
He Yu hesitated and said, “Let’s just order any set meal, ba. Probably spicy chicken?”
Qiao Mudong stood up and walked towards the counter.
He Yu couldn’t help but crane his neck to look over. He saw Li Tang walking out of the kitchen at the back, followed by a young man in a suit and tie. The man saw Qiao Mudong and came over with a smile to shake hands with Qiao Mudong.
Three people stood nearby and chatted in low voices.
He Yu wanted to go over and take a look, but there were too many people in the fast food restaurant. He was afraid that as soon as he left his seat, someone else would take over.
The conversation between the three people ended quickly. Qiao Mudong actually went to line up to order food, while Li Tang came back to his seat and sat down next to He Yu.
He Yu said, “Do you have anything to say to me?”
Li Tang smiled, took out a cigarette, and held it in his mouth. But he suddenly remembered that smoking was not allowed in public places, so he took it out again and said, “Ask Qiao Mudong yourself.”
After a while, Qiao Mudong came back with a tray of meals and placed it on the table.
He Yu looked at him.
Qiao Mudong placed his set meal in front of him and said, “Eat ba.”
Li Tang also reached for his share and said, “I told you, this location is a prime location, perfect for this kind of fast food restaurant.”
“Yes,” Qiao Mudong responded. “You’re right, it’s just as you said.”
He Yu picked up the chopsticks, looked at them doubtfully, and asked, “Don’t tell me that you’re doing business in partnership?”
Li Tang smiled and said, “It’s not a partnership. I’m working for Master Qiao, while Master Qiao is working hard for your sake.”
He Yu looked at Qiao Mudong with wide eyes.
Qiao Mudong smiled. “It’s just the beginning.”
He Yu put down the chopsticks he picked up and called out, “Qiao Mudong.”
“What?” Qiao Mudong asked him.
He Yu said, “I’ve always thought that you were out there with your little brothers to collect protection money.”
Li Tang smiled when he heard this. “Actually, he’s also taking his younger brothers to collect money now.”
He Yu said, “I’ve been worrying that something will happen to you and that you’ll be caught by the police again.”
Qiao Mudong reached out and held the back of his hand. “I told you not to worry, you’re just thinking too much.”
He Yu was a little upset. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Qiao Mudong said slowly, “It’s not easy to do business. I haven’t even been able to get the money to buy a car or a house. I don’t know how to tell you. Although my life is good right now, it’s not because of me. It’s because Qiao Song left me such a large sum of money. Otherwise, I might not even have enough money to rent this place and renovate it.”
He Yu said, “I don’t mind that, I’m willing to go through it slowly with you.”
Qiao Mudong said, “But I mind.”
Li Tang put his arms around He Yu’s shoulders and said, “Don’t be stupid. At this time, you should hug him and cry, saying I love you, Qiao Mudong. I have never seen many responsible men like Master Qiao before. Even more, I have never seen someone who has such deep affections for another person. It’s rare that you are together by fate, so cherish it well.”
He Yu couldn’t help but lower his gaze. “Brother Li, you shouldn’t say sentimental words like this.”
Qiao Mudong lowered his head to look at him. “Are you crying?”
He Yu raised his eyes and glared at him. “What is there for me to cry about?”
Qiao Mudong hummed. “Aren’t I worth your cries? You should kneel down and kiss my feet!”
He Yu raised his foot and kicked him. “Scram!”
