Yu Qingchuan also asked Lu Shiming for his license plate number and contacted property management to register his car for entry. After all, their villa community had access controls.
With nothing else to do for the moment, Yu Qingchuan began packing.
The young master's walk-in closet was filled with all kinds of haute couture and ready-to-wear clothes, along with an entire wall of shoes.
Even Yu Qingchuan, who had little desire for material things, was stunned.
Moreover, the young master's canvases and paints were all of the finest quality. There were even top-of-the-line handmade oil paints from Mack Harding, while the other paints were all genuine products from premium brands. A single set cost several thousand, or even tens of thousands.
Yet they had been casually tossed onto the floor, which felt like a terrible waste.
Su Ningyue had given him all of these, but the young master had no interest in painting, so he felt no gratitude.
Yu Qingchuan carefully gathered them up and packed them into his suitcase. As for clothes and shoes, he only took a few sets. Once he earned some money, he would buy his own.
Packing didn't take long. With nothing to do, Yu Qingchuan settled onto the sofa, opened Big-Eyed Boy, and registered an account using his old name, Qinglindu.
Then he began browsing other artists' work. The novel had been written based on his original world, and almost everything was the same, so he didn't need to adjust to much.
It was just that, after he transmigrated into it, the world in the book had become reality.
He didn't know how much time had passed before someone knocked on his door. A servant's voice came faintly from outside. "Young master, your father is back. Please come downstairs."
Yu Qingchuan's heart tightened. Taking a deep breath, he pulled out his phone and quickly sent Lu Shiming a WeChat message before heading out.
When he stepped out of the elevator, the first person Yu Qingchuan saw was Yu Qingluo.
Just as the book described, he was an exceptionally beautiful, delicate young man. Dressed in pristine white, he looked like an elegant, noble little prince.
Yu Qingchuan nodded inwardly. With those looks and that bearing, he really was a good match for Lu Shiming.
Su Ningyue had already told Yu Chenyi that Yu Qingchuan intended to move in with someone. He couldn't bring himself to like Yu Qingchuan, and now he frowned as he scolded him. "How old are you, moving in with a man already? With the way you're behaving, do you really think he loves you?"
In his memories, the chubby boy had always been scolded like this, as though he could never do anything right. Over time, he had developed a deep sense of inferiority. That was why, after falling for the sunny, outgoing Lu Shiming, he had tried everything he could to have him.
Yu Qingchuan decided to try a bit of sophistry. "But I'm not losing out. He's so handsome."
Sure enough, this shamelessly defeatist response silenced Yu Chenyi. For a moment, he couldn't think of anything to say in rebuttal.
He remembered Lu Shiming. He was a capable young man with plenty of potential. Only a few months into his internship, he had already secured a major order, and Yu Chenyi had been planning to keep him on.
Besides, Lu Shiming was exceptionally good-looking, easily on par with celebrities. If anyone was getting the short end of the stick, it really was Lu Shiming.
Su Ningyue had talked him around on the matter of their son liking men, saying that the more strictly they disciplined him now, the more rebellious he would become. He was already disappointed in this son anyway, especially since he also had the perfect, outstanding Qingluo.
And so, to his surprise, he agreed. "Do as you like. Just don't regret it."
Yu Qingchuan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. It seemed all this extra flesh really did have its uses. He immediately agreed. "Thanks, Dad. I'll leave right away."
With that, he jogged toward the elevator, his round body radiating eagerness.
Su Ningyue grew a little flustered. She hadn't expected Yu Chenyi not to stop him. "Chenyi, I'm worried Chuanchuan will get hurt..."
"Let him do as he likes." Yu Chenyi didn't care. He turned to Yu Qingluo and said, "Qingluo, you're twenty now too. Don't follow your brother's example. Come out with me next week, and I'll introduce you to a few young women."
Yu Qingluo's slender brows drew together slightly, and he hesitated. He seemed to prefer boys too.
Yu Qingchuan pulled his suitcase along, his face beaming. Lu Shiming really came through. He had just messaged to say he was already inside the community. As it turned out, he had arrived nearby some time ago, and the moment Yu Qingchuan messaged him, he had hurried over. He had even asked whether he should come in and put on an act.
"Dad, Auntie, Qingluo, I'll be going, then." Yu Qingchuan waved with a smile. "Shiming is already waiting for me outside."
Su Ningyue looked as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Yu Qingluo said, "I'll walk you out, Brother."
"Sure." Yu Qingchuan thought, Perfect. I can witness the top and bottom's first meeting, too.
Yu Qingluo followed Yu Qingchuan out through the villa's front door. Outside, a tall, handsome young man stood beside an SUV. He wore a long indigo coat and fitted black trousers. The pale yellow light of the streetlamp fell across him, making him look dazzling and captivating.
Yu Qingluo froze for a moment. He knew of Lu Shiming-after all, he was the campus heartthrob everyone adored-but he had rarely seen him in person.
I didn't expect him to be this handsome.
How could he have fallen for Yu Qingchuan? Had Yu Qingchuan forced him into it?
