To Marry You Chapter 13

Huang "Lacking Love"

After that tiring day, Huang Yu was fast asleep the whole night. When Liu Shenghao woke up in the morning, he didn't wake up Huang Yu. After washing his face, he was preparing to go downstairs to buy breakfast. He had just put on his clothes when the doorbell rang. He opened the door.

"Dan Ni?" Liu Shenghao asked suspiciously. "What is it?"

"I made breakfast. Do you want to have a taste?" Huang Yu waved the food containers in her hands.

Liu Shenghao really wanted to accept it. After all, he didn't really want to go downstairs and run around. He had taken a day off with great difficulty, so of course he wanted to rest up, but he heard movement in the room and shook his head. "Not necessary. I've troubled you all this time, so I will go downstairs to buy breakfast."

"Oh, it's no problem! I'm learning to cook now, so I made a lot. Say, you are by yourself…" saying like she had just thought of it, she asked, "Yesterday, that boy… Oh, no, your boyfriend left?" She leaned in through the doorway to poke around. She managed to catch sight of the mussy-haired Huang Yu, who was wearing clothes that obviously did not belong to him. A sour taste flooded her mouth.

"No, what about it?" Liu Shenghao asked deliberately.

"Nothing, nothing. Take this. Tonight, I will come get the container." She shoved the container into Liu Shenghao's hands and ran off back to her house.

Liu Shenghao eyed the container in her hand and sniffed it. It smelled delicious. Between going down and not going down, Liu Shenghao decided not to. He carried the container back in.

"Who was it?" Huang Yu was not quite awake as he sat on the sofa and rubbed his eyes.

"Dan Ni." Liu Shenghao put down the box and went to the kitchen for bowls.

"What?!" When he heard her name, Huang Yu immediately ran over. He looked at the breakfast on the table, then ran into the kitchen to "interrogate" Liu Shenghao. "Why did you want her breakfast?"

"I don't want to go down."

"Then I don't want to eat!"

"Then I'm afraid you'll be hungry." Liu Shenghao focused his gaze on Huang Yu. Huang Yu became embarra.s.sed and obediently took the chopsticks, then went to scoop out some soup.

After the meal, Huang Yu put aside his bowl and ran over to the sofa. He tugged on Liu Shenghao and acted spoiled. "Shengsheng~"

"En?"

"Next time, don't eat food that other people make~"

"I am lazy and I can't cook. If I don't eat that, what will I eat?"

"We can ask Auntie!"

"If my mom knows she will make me live at home. Is that what you want?" Liu Shenghao's gaze shifted away from the TV to Huang Yu. He smiled slyly.

"Then, then I will cook for you?"

"You said it! But if it’s not good then I still have to eat other people’s food!"

"How could it be not good?"

"Go and scrub your bowl. I will send you home." Liu Shenghao went to his room to change.

Huang Yu went to wash the bowls, then ran over to tie Liu Shenghao's tie. "I can do it, I can do it!"

Liu Shenghao put down his arms and pa.s.sed him the necktie. "You can?"

Huang Yu wrapped the tie around Liu Shenghao's neck. "Ah, lower your head a bit; my arms are sore. And of course I can. Who can't tie a red neck scarf1The signature accessory of the Young Pioneers, mandatory communist youth group."

Liu SHenghao bent down slightly. When he heard the last half of that sentence he lifted his head and straightened up. "I'll do it myself."

"What are you doing! Fine, don't let me do it," Huang Yu grumbled.

"Once you've really learned to tie a tie, say it again!"

"Che! Where are you going? To the company?"

"No, I'm going to go find Lu Xu. Right now, I'm on holiday."

"But you're dressed so formally."

"En, I might be able to meet a handsome guy!" Liu Shenghao nodded at the mirror in satisfaction.

Huang Yu ran in front of the mirror to cut off Liu Shenghao's gaze. "I want to go too!"

"You're not going home?"

"I'll go back tonight after cla.s.s gets out. You bring me!"

"You sure?" Liu Shenghao asked.

"En!" Huang Yu nodded.

"It's good that you're happy. Now go change so we can leave!"

"Oh yeah!" Huang Yu ran off to go put on his clothes. "That's right, that's right! I'll go buy a bowl when I get back. That bowl broke." After he said this, he ran to the laundry room to grab his clothes, leaving behind the dark-faced Liu Shenghao. He had only two bowls! And he broke one of them!

Liu Shenghao went to the kitchen to take a look, then gave the auntie at home a call to tell her to come over and help.

"Let's go! I'm ready!"

"En. Do you have your key?" Liu Shenghao was standing by the entryway, waiting for Huang Yu.

"I got it!"

Liu Shenghao locked the door securely when Dan Ni came out. If it were someone else, Dan Ni was definitely someone many men would love to marry. Her face was good, figure was good, she could earn money, skilled at housework, but her schemes were a bit much.

Liu Shenghao smiled at her, and asked her if she was going out too. Dan Ni nodded and looked at Huang Yu next to him. When Huang Yu noticed her gaze, he immediately hugged Liu Shenghao's arm. "Shengsheng, my legs are weak~"

Liu Shenghao had a very "dutiful" att.i.tude, and grabbed Huang Yu's waist in a friendly way and pinched it secretly. Smiling he said, "You aren't afraid of being laughed at."

"Why would someone laugh at me for saying the truth? No?" Huang Yu smiled and asked Dan Ni.

Dan Ni smiled awkwardly and nodded her head. In her heart, she was thinking that she needed to deal with that brat immediately!

Liu Shenghao took Huang Yu to Lu Xu's restaurant. At this time, there weren't many people. Liu Shenghao made Huang Yu sit first, then had the employees call Lu Xu. He ordered a gla.s.s of juice for Lu Xu and a cup of coffee for himself, then went to sit down next to Huang Yu.

The first thing Lu Xu saw when he came out was Huang Yu leaning on Liu Shenghao's shoulder. He was holding his phone to show Liu Shenghao something, but was stupefied. Then he suddenly saw the corners of Liu Shenghao's mouth hooked up! Even more stupefied!

"Ay, ay, ay! What's with you two? What's with this public affection?! Don't tell me! Don't tell me!" shouted Lu Xu.

"I am Shengsheng's boyfriend!" Huang Yu said brightly.

Lu Xu's mouth was hanging open with shock. He knew that his good friend might possibly get together with the brat Huang Yu, but he didn't think it was be this soon!

"Call me saozi2older brother's wife!" Huang Yu smirked.

Lu Xu did not ask anymore questions. He sat down and said, "Maybe you don't know, but I am older than Haozi! I should be calling you dimei3little brother’s wife, oh, no, dixu4also little brother’s wife!"

"I see," Huang Yu said somewhat disappointed. Just as Lu Xu was feeling satisfied, Huang Yu said something that made him blow up in anger:

"I always see you following Shengsheng obediently, so I thought he was older then you! But it's just that my family's Shengsheng is too capable! Makes people want to follow him!"

Nonsense! How is laozi5Old man. Used to refer to oneself to show confidence/arrogance following obediently! Laozi is just listening to good ideas! But Lu Xu did not say this out loud. He only laughed. At this moment, the juice was served.

"Pomegranate juice! I like!" Huang Yu exclaimed.

Lu Xu was about to take the juice when Liu Shenghao stopped him. "Give it to him."

"Tsk! This is paying more attention to lovers than friends!" Huang Yu said angrily.

"He didn't sleep well last night." When Huang Yu heard what Liu Shenghao said, he thought, This is truly lying with his eyes open! Obviously, I slept very well. But Huang Yu would not refute words of concern. And it was Liu Shenghao saying it. Yeah, as long as it's Liu Shenghao who says it, Huang Yu normally never would refute it.

"Aaaooo! I get it!" Lu Xu, realization spreading across his face, fixed them with his stare. Lu Xu especially showed Huang Yu a sympathetic face.

Huang Yu who was being teased didn't know what to say!

Lu Xu looked at Huang Yu for another moment before asking him, "Huang Yu, why is your hair so yellow? Is it dyed?"

"Lacking calcium. When you go back this afternoon make some supplements for him," Liu SHenghao said while playing with his phone.

Who knew that Huang Yu would say, "I'm lacking love!"

When Huang Yu said this, Liu Shenghao and Lu Xu looked at him. Lu Xu was the first to respond. He said slyly, "Have Haozi make a supplement for you."

This time, the being teased Huang Yu blushed bright red. Liu Shenghao coughed and indicated Lu Xu to take a hint.

Lu Xu rubbed his nose. "I'm just saying the truth! Isn't he your boyfriend? Only you can do it!"

"Shut up!" Liu Shenghao rolled his eyes at him.

It might have been because Huang Yu was on a different page, or because he was stupid, but he agreed, red-faced, "Shengsheng, what he said is true!"

Liu Shenghao's face filled with black lines again… Lu Xu burst out into laughter. This brat was really amusing! They would have to endure!

At night, Liu Shenghao came to pick Huang Yu up from school. He sent Huang Yu a text saying he was at the south gate.

Huang Yu was playing with his phone when he saw "Shengsheng"'s test. Happily, he immediately sent a reply.

Liang Yan saw the change in Huang Yu's expression and asked him what was up. Huang Yu just shook his head. "No~thing~"

"Let's go back together. Shall we go eat skewers?" Liang Yan asked.

"No, someone is picking me up."

"That's cool." Liang Yan knew that Huang Yu had a driver that picked him up and dropped him off everyday. That wasn't weird. "Then do you want to go out this weekend?"

Huang Yu was just about to agree when he remembered that Shengsheng was his boyfriend! Of course he had to go on a date with Shengsheng! His nod turned into a shake of the head. "I have something; I can't go."

Liang Yan thought it was something in his family. After all, last time in the restaurant Huang Yu looked really hurt, really sad. Thus, he said gently, "That's okay. If you want to go out just call me."

"I know, I know! You talk a lot!" Huang Yu was anxious to talk with Liu Shenghao, and didn't have attention for anything else.

"Really, cannot distinguish good from bad!' Liang Yan's gesture received an injury!

A notification sent Huang Yu scampering off. When Liang Yan turned his head, Huang Yu was nowhere to be seen. This brat! He was so benevolent consoling him, but he didn't get it. Liang Yan smiled wryly and moved on with the rest of the crowd.

"Shengsheng! Did you wait long?" Huang Yu got onto the car and fastened his seat belt.

"No, I just got here." Liu Shenghao took a drag of his half-burnt cigarette before putting it out. He started up the car. "Let's go."

"En."

"That's right, are you free this Sat.u.r.day?" Huang Yu asked.

"I might go back home for a meal."

"The weekend?"

"I'll be at home sleeping. Why?" Liu Shenghao asked.

"Don’t sleep. Let's go on a date!" Huang Yu said happily.

"No…"

"Why?"

"I don't want to!"

"Wh…"

"Either you stay at home, or you come sleep with me on Sat.u.r.day night."

"The same bed?" Huang Yu asked.

"En. I'll think it over."

"Then I'll come."

"Bring food with you."

"En, en."

The car soon arrived at the destination. "Get off."

"No goodbye kiss?" Huang Yu asked expectantly.

"Wait till you’re an adult." Liu Shenghao lit another cigarette.

"Aren't we going to be on the same bed?"

"Just considering it…"

In the end, Huang Yu only dejectedly watch Liu Shenghao drive away. He turned around to his own house, inhaled deeply, and walked in.

"Young Master is back!" Butler w.a.n.g said joyfully. "Would you like to eat?"

"No, I already ate. Is my dad here?"

"Master is in his study!"

"I'm going to go find him."

Huang Yu turned around and went upstairs to knock on a door.

"Come in…"

"Dad…" Huang Yu opened the door and stood at the entrance.

"Come in…"

"Dad!" Huang Yu walked in. "Where's Teacher Lu?"

"He went home first… are you thinking clearly?"

Huang Yu mumbled, "What's there to think about…"

"Son, no matter what you decide, me and your Teacher Lu will accept it," Huang Qishan told him.

"Shouldn't it be Daddy?"

When Huang Qishan heard what his son said, he knew that Huang Yu was happy. "En, it's Daddy."

"Dad, did Teacher Lu not know about me?" Huang Yu asked.

"He gave birth to you; how could he not know? But his dad, your grandfather, told him that you died. Afterwards, the doctor told him the truth. Your Daddy really suffered…"

"Why was Grandfather like that? And if Daddy knew, then why didn't he come find us," Huang Yu asked.

"I didn't let him…" Huang Qishan spoke regretfully. If he hadn't taken Huang Yu and left, their whole family might have been together sooner. "Sorry, Son, Dad is…"

"You don't need to say that, Dad. I know. You definitely must have been hurting." Huang Yu started to feel sad too, but he said, "For my birthday, you can call over Daddy. It will be the first time that my whole family is celebrating my birthday!"

"Speaking of birthdays, your daddy gave you presents for your past birthdays!" Huang Qishan got to his feet.

"Really? I played with him? How come I didn't know?!" Huang Yu asked excitedly.

"I think I gave you just one. The others are in my room, unopened. Do you want to open them now?" asked Huang Qishan.

"Of course I do! Dad, you actually hid them from me!" Huang Yu went with Huang Qishan to the room to open presents.

"Why are there so many?!" There were so many, more then just birthday presents.

"There were also presents for holidays…"

"Daddy knew our address?" Huang Yu asked suspiciously. He knew their address, but didn’t' come to see them.

"He found your Uncle Yuan and gave them to him." Huang Qishan took the presents from the closets.

"Uncle Yuan didn't tell Daddy?"

"No, he probably misunderstood your daddy's intentions."

"Daddy really suffered." Huang Yu hugged the presents.

"Start opening them!"

"En!"

Huang Qishan and Huang Yu sat on the ground and opened the presents around them. "This one! This one! How wonderful! If you had given them to me I definitely would not have wanted any presents from you!"

Huang Yu took out an exquisite airplane model. "And this one!!!"

… Father and son happily sat on the ground. While opening presents, they could feel their father's or lover's love for them…
