Lin You quickly ran up the stairs, leaving the dimly lit living room with only the two brothers staring at each other in silence.
Lu Beiming had just come down to fetch some cold water but unexpectedly witnessed such an exciting scene. His heart felt both sour and resentful, almost ascending to heaven from the anger.
He shouldn’t be fetching water; he should be fetching a bottle of alcohol to drown his sorrows instead.
Damn, how come this guy gets to enjoy such intimacy with his wife while his own wife was still thousands of miles away?
But he couldn’t help but be curious about his little brother’s love life. So he went up to seek abuse for himself, “Lin You came back just for you? Has he finally come around?”
Lu Qingyan nodded reservedly, his eyes smiling sarcastically, “Otherwise? Is he here to see you? He lied to me and said he wouldn’t return, but as soon as he hung up, he flew over to find me. He lugged his suitcase and took a taxi to get here by himself in such cold weather. He didn’t even know to ask me to pick him up, so dumb.”
Although Lu Qingyan called Lin You dumb, his eyes softened so much that they could drip water.
Lu Beiming kept quiet, not wanting to be provoked any further. He’s a dumbass if he asks Lu Qingyan anything else.
He went upstairs without a word, but Lu Qingyan followed him leisurely, not intending to let him go.
“Ge, what did you say this afternoon? Lin You won’t come around even after three years?” Lu Qingyan helped him recall, “What a pity, Xiao You has come back now, but Yu-ge still hasn’t.”
Lu Beiming turned his head, glaring at him menacingly.
Lu Qingyan fearlessly smiled back at his brother.
The next moment, two somewhat subtly similar pheromones began to clash in the air. Both of them possessed high-level pheromones, with Lu Qingyan’s being slightly higher, but the difference wasn’t significant.
Neither of them backed down to the other.

If he didn’t know these were his sons, he would have thought some hooligans had come to cause trouble.
After the long flight, Lin You was truly exhausted.
He slept all the way until the afternoon, slowly emerging from the covers in a daze.
He had his own room in the Lu house. Over the years, he had become like the third son of the Lu family. He had a complete set of his daily necessities in the Lu house.
When he groggily stepped out of his room, Lu Qingyan was heading upstairs with a bowl of sweet soup in his hands.
The two of them met at the staircase, and Lin You stared at him blankly for a while. He was still a bit confused from the sleep and didn’t realize it at first, so he greeted Lu Qingyan naturally.
After two seconds, he suddenly remembered that this person was his newly promoted boyfriend. His face turned red in an instant, and he became so flustered that he didn’t even how to walk anymore. He stood there stiffly, unable to move.
Lu Qingyan acted very naturally and didn’t continue going up. Instead, he pulled Lin You to go downstairs together, placing the bowl he was holding on the dining table and making Lin You sit and eat.
“Food will be ready in a bit, but I was worried you might be hungry, so have some sweet soup to fill your stomach first,” Lu Qingyan said.
Lin You silently ate the sweet soup, refusing to look up at Lu Qingyan at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else at the table, Lu Qingyan teased him, “Want me to feed you?”
Lin You continued to keep his head down, “Get lost.”
Very rude, not giving his new boyfriend any face at all.
Lu Qingyan wasn’t angry, instead, he slipped off his slipper under the table and used the back of his foot to rub against Lin You’s ankle.
Lin You almost choked on the sweet soup and glared at Lu Qingyan angrily.
As they were looking at each other like this, Liu Zhan came out of the kitchen.
Lu Qingyan casually withdrew his feet.
“Xiao You’s awake? Did you sleep well?” Liu Zhan approached with a gentle tone, “I only found out you came back this morning and didn’t want to disturb you.”
Lin You nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I slept enough.”
Liu Zhan looked at Lin You with some concern, “You really scared us. Your mother was asking me this morning if you were unhappy abroad, which was why you were so eager to come back.”
Lu Qingyan stifled a chuckle from across the table.
Lin You couldn’t be bothered with this culprit and felt a bit awkward under Liu Zhan’s concerned gaze. He could only come up with a random excuse, “I never liked being abroad. The environment is unfamiliar and the food doesn’t suit me, it makes me vomit and gives me diarrhea. Of course I would want to come back. I’ll call my mom later.”
He was just making up excuses; in reality, he ate the most during meals.
But Liu Zhan took it seriously and was immediately worried about dinner, “Is that so. I was planning to make grilled meat tonight, but it seems you can’t eat that. Wait a moment, I’ll make some porridge for you.”
Lu Qingyan stifled another chuckle, and Lin You was dumbfounded as he watched Liu Zhan walk into the kitchen. He then kicked Lu Qingyan hard under the table.
In the evening, the whole family enjoyed grilled meat while Lin You had to make do with plain porridge and side dishes. It was so bland that a bird could pop out of his mouth.
In the afternoon, he had called his parents and used the same excuse of not adapting well to the foreign environment combined with the boredom abroad to explain why he urgently wanted to return.
His parents didn’t question it too much, and after being fooled by him, they didn’t dwell on it. They just asked him to stay with the Lu family obediently and not to wander around until they came back.
Lin You naturally had no objections and happily agreed.
Now, Lin You was sipping plain porridge while smelling the delicious aroma of grilled meat, and his mouth was practically watering.
He was even starting to miss the fried chicken he had at the airport yesterday.
Liu Zhan also prepared Sichuan boiled fish and mala rabbit head, both of which he loved to eat. However, to maintain the facade of having a bad stomach, he couldn’t touch any of it.
Seeing his pitful appearance, Lu Qingyan wanted to laugh but also felt sorry for him. When his mother went back to the kitchen to fetch the soup, Lu Qingyan quickly wrapped several large pieces of meat in lettuce and fed them to Lin You.
Lu Beiming rolled his eyes beside them and silently turned his face away.
Lin You happily swallowed the meat wrapped in lettuce.
However, when Liu Zhan came back with the soup, she immediately noticed something fishy.
She slapped her own son’s hand, “You sneaked some meat to Xiao You again, didn’t you? I told you his stomach isn’t feeling well. If he gets an upset stomach later, will you rub his stomach for him?” She then turned to Lin You and pointed at his forehead, finding it funny, “And you, you didn’t even wipe your mouth after sneaking a bite, there’s sesame stuck at the corner.”
Lin You humbly accepted the criticism.
But then he heard Lu Qingyan’s voice with a hint of laughter saying to Liu Zhan, “Alright, if he gets a stomachache, I’ll rub his stomach for him, all night if necessary.”
Lin You was taken aback and ended up choking on the porridge, coughing so loud it could shake the earth.
