As soon as he saw the three huge characters at the train station, Lu Yi said, “It’s almost there, pack up, we’re going to get off.”

He opened the zipper of the jacket a little, and Ji Rui nimbly got out from the bottom of the clothes, and quickly zipped up the leaking clothes for Lu Yi, and then sneezed in the cold wind.

Lu Yi got out of the car first, grabbed Ji Rui, and gave one hundred and five to the driver.

Because when he got in the car before, he said that he was in an emergency at home and rushed to the road in the middle of the night. The driver didn’t ask any more questions. He took the money and drove the truck away.

When they arrived at the station, there were only a few people in the waiting room. After waiting for about half an hour, the two got on the bus smoothly.

Because it was still during the Spring Festival travel period, they did not buy a sleeper, only a hard seat, and the two of them would sleep on the hard seat all night.

When the two arrived at X City at seven or eight the next morning, Lu Yi saw that Ji Rui had two dark circles under her eyes and asked him, “You didn’t sleep last night?”

Ji Rui shook her head and said, “I didn’t dare to sleep because I was worried that things would be stolen. Don’t worry, I’m not sleepy. There was a cart selling things last night, and I drank a can of Red Bull.”

The people in Lu’s family refused to pay Lu Yi’s tuition, so Lu Yi had to earn money by himself. It was too hard. Although the security was much better now than before, but now there were many people and it was messy. This kind of hard seat, if it a mobile phone was stolen or the like, it would be miserable.

In fact, two people could take turns sleeping, but Lu Yi looked sleepy, he couldn’t bear to let his boyfriend stay up all night.

Lu Yi was silent for a moment, and he didn’t say anything like he didn’t need him to be stupid, although it was indeed stupid, and finally only rubbed Ji Rui’s hair: “It’s hard work, there won’t be another time.”

Ji Rui narrowed his eyes like a cat being groomed, and said, “It’s not hard work, I’m glad I can do something.”

After entering the community, Lu Yi arrived at his residence, and Ji Rui also followed him. After all, he had experienced such a big event as coming out of the closet, and he always wanted to stick with Lu Yi a little more. Of course, in a certain respect, he was also a little afraid of Lu Yi doing something stupid.

He was kicked out on fourth day of the new year, and he couldn’t sleep well in the car. In addition, He was running around on the road. After washing up, the two went to bed and rested, and didn’t wake up until the afternoon.

When they left, they tidied up the refrigerator specially, all the vegetables and fruits were disposed of, and all that was left was the milk Ji Rui bought back.

After rinsing hid mouth, Ji Rui hesitated for a while, and brought up a very important thing: “You are renting a house, you can go to live with me and refund the rent here.”

He also heard the words that Mother Lu said before driven them out. As the culprit behind this incident, he tried his best to save Lu Yi money.

This way, the pressure didn’t seem to be that great.

Lu Yi glanced at him: “I can pay you 5,000 a month for cooking. Do you still worry about thousands of tuition fees a year?”

He didn’t tell Lu’s father and Lu’s mother some things, but he could tell Ji Rui: “Don’t worry, I’m financially independent now, and I don’t want their money.”

The money given by the original owner’s parents was connected to the more than 10,000 yuan that the original owner had saved, and all of them were used by him as the initial start-up capital.

Ji Rui recalled the house in Lu Yi’s hometown, too, he had forgotten about it. When he first applied for the job, he felt that Lu Yi looked like a good man.

Before, he thought that Lu Yi was a working party, but later he found out that the other party was a student, so he thought it should be the money given by his family.

After all, he mainly came to cook before. He knew that Lu Yi had his own things to do, but what he did specifically was the employer’s privacy.

“But it’s not good to waste money. You can live with me.”

Lu Yi said, “I have already bought this house.”

Originally, he didn’t want to buy it. Although it was okay to live in, this community was not a school district. It was rather biased. It was mainly because the landlord had an accident in his own home and was in a hurry to cash out. Relatively speaking, the house was much lower than the market price. He also bought a lot of soft furnishings himself, and he was too lazy to change the house, so he just bought it.

The house was actually not big, only seventy or eighty square meters, but the house price in this place was two or three million.

Ji Rui knew how much the market price was, and hid mouth was open: “How much did you spend on this house?”

“It was not expensive, less than two million.”

If it weren’t for the landlord’s emergency at home and that he was anxious to cash in, it would be impossible to sell it at this price.

“Is the loan interest high?”

Lu Yi shook his head: “It’s the full amount.”

Ji Rui: …Why did he suddenly feel that his boyfriend was not an ordinary person.

He fell silent, feeling a little down.

Lu Yi noticed something was wrong with him: “What’s the matter, you don’t seem very happy?”

Ji Rui nodded and shook her head: “No, I just feel that I’m a little useless, and it seems that it will only hold you back.”

People who like more deeply will inevitably feel a little inferior, not to mention that Lu Yi was already very good.

Lu Yi didn’t expect his partner to be a strong man like him in the future, and he would have a good match against his opponent, for him, he would rather return home and have a comfortable and relaxed environment.

“You’re amazing, I don’t know how to cook.”

Ji Rui retorted: “Many people know how to cook, and as long as they have money, they can hire all kinds of cooks.”

Lu Yi said: “But the food they make doesn’t taste the same as the food you make. You are different. You are not just such an advantage…”

He paused: “Besides, according to my family background, my background is very ordinary, and I have to work hard to make a lot of money. There are some people who don’t do anything. Just relying on their parents, they have dozens of houses. Do you think I’m worse than those people?”

Ji Rui shook his head like a rattle: “I didn’t think so.”

Lu Yi said: “Okay, let’s not talk about this topic. Are you hungry? Let’s go out and find something to eat.”

In this season, the takeout had stopped, and the two people still went to the nearby self-service hot pot restaurant to eat their stomachs.

When they came back, in order to digest their food, the two walked back. The street lights shortened and elongated their shadows. When they were eating hot pot, they were warm. Ji Rui wore gloves, and after walking for a while, he felt cold. He sighed. As he walked, he put his hand in the pocket of Lu Yi’s coat.

In fact, it didn’t really work, but he just felt warm all of a sudden.

After entering the gate of the community, Ji Rui’s residence was farther than Lu Yi’s.

Lu Yi took him downstairs, and he said, “You said before that you are going to move out next semester, right?”

“Yes.” The rules and regulations of each school were different.

Ji Rui made up her mind: “Then I’ll move out too.”

Lu Yi asked him, “Are you sure? College life will be a very valuable experience for you.”

“Aren’t you moving out too?”

“I’m not the same as you.” He was already twenty-seven-year-old adult, he had goals and plans, and the future was very clear.

“But I want to live with you.” Ji Rui said, “Will you take me in? There aren’t many things I can do, but I can do housework and cooking for free.”

Since Lu Yi didn’t want to move over, he could move over there. The traces at home were all left by his parents, and he didn’t want to move it very much. If he lived with Lu Yi, they could create more memories together.

“For roommates, go out to classes and participate in activities with them, that is to get along, but living with you, I will be happier.”

Ji Rui looked at him expectantly: “So, is it okay?”

“If you want, pack up and move over tomorrow.”

Ji Rui’s eyes became brighter, the corners of his mouth were also raised, and his eyebrows and eyes were curved into a pleasant arc: “I don’t have much, so I can do it today!”

“But I didn’t clean up the guest room, and I didn’t dry the quilt. I’m not in a hurry. I’ll take you up.”

Lu Yi thought, he was really a young and energetic boy. Although his mind was delicate and sensitive, he could restore his vitality with a few words.

Hmm… it was actually quite suitable for someone like him.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year, Ji Rui brought his things over.

To celebrate, he specially bought expensive materials and made a very hearty lunch.

When he was with his mother, he lived with two people, but his mother and his boyfriend felt so different.

Lu Yi was the kind of person whose expression won’t change much when the sky falls. He was in a good mood, but he was not too excited.

Ji Rui was different. Even though he had been there many times, he was still the same as Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden1, and everything he saw was fresh.

He excitedly rolled several times on the bed.

After eating and drinking enough, Lu Yi went to work.

For him, money was never enough, not to mention that he was indeed poorer now than he used to be.

Lu Yi was working hard, Ji Rui had nothing to do for the time being, and he just thought about it when he was full.

Back in the small town, in the Lu family, the two of them had almost no space to be alone. The most intimate thing they ever did was in Lu Yi’s room.

But now that the two of them were living together, and they were not under the eyes of their parents, Ji Rui struggled for a while, then went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy some things.

After confirming that he liked a man, he also struggled for a long time, and then checked the relevant information on the Internet, and his homework was enough.

After shopping, he went to take a shower, then put on a bathrobe, and knocked on Lu Yi’s door.

Lu Yi finished his work, then shut down the computer and said, “Come in.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boyfriend rushed in like a small cannonball, and then hugged his waist tightly.

Ji Rui’s eyes were sparkling: “Lu Yi, the housewarming, plus the New Year, I made a big meal for you. Would you like to express that and give me a big gift?”

Lu Yi smiled and asked him, “What do you want?”

“I want you.”
