Chapter 52 part 1
Compared to Jiang Shulu’s violently vibrating phone, Tang Yue’s phone was rather quiet.
He had changed his number and registered a new WeChat account. The most he received were Weibo notifications he got back from Clear Sky Media.
On the way back, he kept checking Weibo messages.
The car stereo was playing Tang Yue’s music collection from these years, all of which were called god-tier soundtracks by netizens. Even if Jiang Shulu didn’t watch many dramas, he had heard the melodies on certain occasions.
In a sense, Tang Yue hadn’t left in the past five years; he was even everywhere.
Tang Yue opened Weibo, and it was full of news related to him and Jiang Shulu.
Although there was no formal official announcement, videos and GIFs were everywhere.
The group chat was even more lively with Yao Lixin passionately speaking up.
-Yao Lixin: You two are crazy! You make my love life look so dull!
-Liu Xichao: Are you crazy…
-Yao Lixin: I want to be young like that once too, driving a supercar with my wife in a wedding dress, leaving the guests behind and running away or something.
-Liu Xichao: Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu didn’t run away from a wedding. Did you read too many fan fictions?
-Yao Lixin: I don’t care!
-Yao Lixin: Captain, since you quit, is that car still yours? When can I borrow it @Jiang Shulu There aren’t many of those globally, right?!! Why did you add colorful strips? It’s so damn cool driving at night!!
-Yao Lixin: I’m still so excited right now ahhhh!!
-Liu Xichao: @Tang Yue Where are you guys now?
As soon as he finished posting, Yao Lixin kept reposting the GIF of Jiang Shulu and Tang Yue eloping.
Tang Yue: …
Even though he had saved it while scrolling Weibo just now, he couldn’t help but save another one at this moment.
It really looked good. Even the people involved didn’t expect it to be so atmospheric. No wonder so many Away fans were doing giveaways tonight.
The prize pool was so high that UL’s captain Miao Shuhua next door forgot to switch to his alt account to repost.
Although many people online scolded him for chasing clout, he still sent his blessings from afar—
UL-Miao Shuhua: @Away_Jiang Shulu @Away_Tang Yue You must invite me to the wedding; I’ve prepared the gift money.
Fan 1 angry comment: You’re not even qualified to be a wedding singer!!
Fan 2 malicious comment: Don’t go to someone’s wedding banquet and dance vulgarly greasy pole dancing ahhh!
Passerby sighs: The ecology of UL fans is so magical.
Netizen watching the fun: What pole dancing? Send a link.
Reply comment: [Link] There’s also Away’s Yao Lixin dance battle.
Away fan passing by: Why did you let me see such hot… my eyes!
[Group Chat (4)]
-Tang Yue: We’re on our way back.
-Tang Yue: On the way to the Captain’s home.
-Liu Xichao: I heard many of his properties were taken back overnight; where did the house come from?
Tang Yue glanced at Jiang Shulu.
The heater was on in the car. The man originally dressed in a suit had loosened his tie and was concentrating on listening to music and driving.
Noticing Tang Yue’s gaze, Jiang Shulu asked: “What’s wrong?”
Tang Yue: “Third Brother said you have no place to live.”
Before Jiang Shulu could answer, Tang Yue quickly added: “But I have a house, although the location isn’t very good, the furniture is all there. How about we…”
Jiang Shulu smiled: “Xiao Yue, I haven’t reached that point yet. The house we’re going to now won’t be taken away.”
Perhaps Tang Yue’s expression of “you don’t have to force yourself, I can support you too” was too touching, Jiang Shulu couldn’t help laughing: “Not to the point of leaving with nothing. Even if the shares are gone, assets still exist.”
Tang Yue was a little regretful: “I thought you could live off me.”
This sounded like it contained some grand wish. Jiang Shulu nodded and asked: “Teacher Tang is wealthy; how many years can you support me?”
Tang Yue pinched the small bamboo flower on the phone strap and hummed: “If I work hard, a lifetime shouldn’t be a problem.”
This was almost a subversive change for Tang Yue, who was vague and wouldn’t respond positively or make promises before.
Jiang Shulu gripped the steering wheel tightly, wishing he could drive back immediately, close the door with Tang Yue, and do it until the end of time.
Probably because he didn’t hear Jiang Shulu’s answer for a long time, Tang Yue wondered if he had spoken too emptily. Just as he looked up, it was the last red light.
He met Jiang Shulu’s eyes.
These eyes were always gentle when looking at him, but at this moment, they gave Tang Yue an inexplicable urge to escape.
As if if he didn’t run, he might really be eaten without any bones left.
Tang Yue: “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Jiang Shulu: “Is this a confession?”
Tang Yue nodded: “Yes.”
After speaking, he said “Oh,” seeming a little distressed: “Too many people like the Captain; is my saying this very unoriginal?”
He was really good at shattering the romantic atmosphere. Jiang Shulu was a little helpless: “You have more fans than me.”
This could be spoken with data.
Among the four members of Away, Tang Yue’s fan attributes were very unified. To the extent that mother fans waved the flag, everywhere they went was a uniform “Mom loves you.”
Making Liu Xichao like to imitate this way of calling. Whenever Tang Yue did something touching, he would take out eye drops to fake tears and start acting.
The point is that there was also Yao Lixin who liked to jeer very much, making the scene very comical for a while.
Resulting in Liu Xichao being so skilled at using eye drops that people still blacken him saying his crying scenes rely on eye drops.
Every time he saw such gossip, Liu Xichao would send a WeChat message scolding Yao Lixin; it was him who took the photo and leaked it back then.
Tang Yue: “There must be someone who genuinely liked the Captain over these years, right?”
Tang Yue thought that having experienced eight years of shipping the wrong CP, he should have a good mentality.
But being with Jiang Shulu was too happy; at this moment, it carried a sourness he felt embarrassed about.
After all, Mrs. Jiang always arranged blind dates for the Captain. The daughters in the circle were all good-looking; what if?
Jiang Shulu sighed with emotion: “So fresh; Xiao Yue can actually be jealous?”
He looked particularly moved, but as soon as the car turned the corner, they noticed that the outside of the residential area they were going to enter was full of people.
Crowds of people; property security guards were already maintaining order, but they still couldn’t resist wave after wave of long guns and short cannons.
Jiang Shulu’s car had just passed the entrance of the residential area. When decelerating, reporters ignored the moving car and leaned over.
Assistant Song Chen had greeted the property management before, but these people weren’t so easy to deal with.
Outside the car were all cameras and microphones trying to reach in.
One of the parties sitting in the passenger seat was still peeling sugar-roasted chestnuts, his eyes emotionless. The photos taken looked like pictorials without processing.
Tang Yue sighed: “So many people.”
Jiang Shulu nodded: “Sorry, maybe I should have changed the address.”
Tang Yue shook his head: “Since we’re here, I also really want to go to where you live.”
He had always spoken directly, but he was forced to restrain himself because he shipped the wrong CP before. At this moment, he said frankly: “I want to sleep in the bed you slept in, Brother.”
The car drove slowly, but there were people around, and even the reporters were speechless.
Having been in the industry for so many years, they hadn’t seen anyone so calm. Did you think we couldn’t hear just because the window was up?
After speaking, Tang Yue seemed to remember something: “I didn’t bring pajamas…”
Jiang Shulu was just about to say wear mine, but Tang Yue said: “It seems okay not to wear any.”
Jiang Shulu: …
When the car drove into the garage, Tang Yue, holding sugar-roasted chestnuts, entered Jiang Shulu’s house and suddenly found traces of Away everywhere.
The area was actually similar to the dormitory back then, just the layout changed.
Jiang Shulu had been single for many years and never had guests stay overnight. The traces of life looked even more desolate than Tang Yue living in the deep mountains and old forests.
