Two days later, the film was officially closed. After participating in the banquet, Yan Shu did not arrange work for Jiang Yu for the time being, and Jiang Yu had a few days of rest.

Lin Cheng’s album promotion also came to an end. After the two of them became free, they began to think of ways to save Lu Qing’s, young man.

Lin Cheng spent a lot of money to find a private detective and found that the young man was protected very tightly. He had a nanny watching 24 hours a day, and when they would go out there would be bodyguards, so it was very difficult for strangers to approach.

“I’ll go out and think of away.” The two sat on the sofa at a loss, and finally, Lin Cheng stood up and said, “I don’t believe I can’t find a way to get to the boy.”

He picked up his coat and went out. Jiang Yu picked up the photos taken by the private detective and looked at them. In the photos, besides the little baby being carried by the nanny for a walk outside, there was also Lu Qing’s former lover, Pei Yun.

In the photo, Pei Yun was looking down at the baby in the nanny’s arms, expressionlessly, not like looking at his own young man, but as if he was measuring some commodity goods.

Jiang Yu’s heart tightened as he looked at it, and the phone next to him suddenly rang, so he hurriedly threw away the photo and picked up the phone.

“Are you home? Come downstairs.” On the opposite side of the phone was Qin Shen, and he added, “Wear something little thicker. I will take you to the aquarium.”

Jiang Yu walked to the window and looked down. Qin Shen’s car was parked downstairs. He hung up the phone, put on his coat, and went downstairs, pulled open the car door, and sat in.

Qin Shen put on his seat belt and turned the steering wheel to go out of the district in the direction of the Aquarium.

It was a weekend so there were a lot of people coming to the Aquarium. It was hard to find an empty spot to park. Qin Shen reached to the back seat of the car, took the scarf that Jiang Yu last left last time, put it around his neck, and only then did the two get out of the car.

Before coming, Qin Shen had asked his assistant to buy him two tickets for the Aquarium. The assistant heard that he was coming to a place like the Aquarium and immediately thought that it was a date with Jiang Yu. Not only did he buy the tickets, but he was also very thoughtful about where to park and which route was the most convenient to walk along after entering the pavilion, and other strategies were sent to his phone. Knowing that today was the weekend and that a lot of people would go, he went ahead of time to specially greet the people in charge, so that when they arrive, they would not need to queue and could go indirectly.

Behind the huge glass wall, there was a variety of sea creatures swimming around. After Jiang Yu put his finger gently on the glass, a colorful fish wagging its tail swam over. Not long after, several more fish swam over, spitting bubbles and wagging their tails happily between Jiang Yu’s fingers.

“Are you guys living well here?” Jiang Yu asked these fish quietly in her heart.

“Yes, yes, there is an endless supply of fish food every day, and we don’t have to worry about being eaten by big fish.” The little fish answered.

Jiang Yu smiled faintly, withdrew his finger and, slowly walked forward. The small fish behind the glass wall also followed him and swam forward, scrambling to ask: “You’re ashore, is it fun onshore? We’ve been locked in here all day; we can’t go anywhere. Wu wu wu, in my next life I also want to be a mermaid.”

Qin Shen walked beside him and at first did not care, but then found more and more fishes gathered around the two, and could not help but raise an eyebrow: “What’s wrong with these fishes?”

“Wow, this man is so handsome. He meets my boyfriend’s standards.” A red-tailed fish swam gracefully in front of Qin Shen and spat a bubble at him.

“Don’t think about it. Don’t you see that the little mermaid and him are wearing the same scarf? At a glance, you can see that he is the little mermaid’s boyfriend.” A blue-tailed fish next to her immediately splashed cold water and said.

“No way.” The red-tailed fish retorted, “They’re both males!”

“Bah, you feudal fish. It has been 9102 years, and you’re still so narrow-minded.” The blue-tailed fish said with contempt.

The two fish babbled and quarreled, and the fish next to them tried to persuade them. Qin Shen looked at the countless bubbles emerging from behind the glass wall, and suddenly stretched out his hand to bounce the glass that the fish were frightened, and they all scattered.

“Wow, this man is so rude. He scared this fish to death.” The red-tailed fish said angrily.

Jiang Yu stuck out his tongue in his heart, and apologized to them in a low voice, “I’m sorry he scared you, so stop arguing. I’ll take him away.”

He reached out and grabbed Qin Shen’s sleeve and continued to walk forward. Qin Shen directly held his hand. The glass corridor became crowded, and the two of them were shoulder to shoulder, so it was not easy to be found holding hands.

“See. They are a pair.” The blue-tailed fish said smugly.

“Humph. He has no manners, so it doesn’t matter how handsome he is, I don’t like him anymore. Hey, this little guy is so cute. He meets my current boyfriend criteria.” The red-tailed fish instantly moved on and swam away with her tail wagging.

As the two walked along the glass canal, Qin Shen realized that Jiang Yu was very popular with the fish in here. Wherever he went, fish would follow him, and when his finger lightly touched the glass, fish would gather around his finger.

This surprised him, but after thinking about it, these fish were probably face-cons. Seeing that they would go near anyone that was good-looking, he let it go.

When he thought about it, he was not very happy. He reached out to hold Jiang Yu’s finger that was teasing the fish on the glass wall, took the young man away from the fish, and casually asked, “Do you like the sea a lot?”

He noticed that when Jiang Yu was facing these fish, there was a completely different relaxation in his body that was very different from their usual interactions.

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, looked up at Qin Shen, and hesitated for a moment to muster up the courage to say, “That’s my hometown ……”

The crowd suddenly surged, and the last two words in Jiang Yu’s words were drowned out in the sudden shouts that rang out all around. Behind the glass wall next to him, a mermaid appeared, swimming gracefully in the water, with schools of fish surrounding her.

Qin Shen opened his phone, looked at the guide his assistant had sent over earlier, and said, “This is a show at the Aquarium.”

This show was very popular, and people all around were chasing the mermaid with their phones and cameras to take pictures. Worried that the two would be squeezed apart, Qin Shen reached out and pulled Jiang Yu into his arms, lowered his head, and asked in his ear, “What did you just say?”

Jiang Yu shook his head in silence for a moment, and his gaze fell on the mermaid behind the glass wall. He slightly turned his head sideways and asked Qin Shen, “Do you believe that there are mermaids in this world?”

Qin Shen had not yet answered when next to him a little boy of about ten years old whispered to his mother, “Mom, the big brother, and the sister next to me asked the same question yesterday. I know that mermaids are not real, yet he is so old and doesn’t know.”

Jiang Yu’s face hidden under the mask turned red. The boy’s mother hugged the little boy and looked at him with embarrassment.

After the show, the two of them came out of the aquarium and got into the car. Jiang Yu had been silent and Qin Shen couldn’t help but rub his head and asked with a light smile, “Still upset about what the boy just said?”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and lowered his head.

“Those were a child’s words. Don’t take it to heart.” Qin Shen leaned over to fasten his seat belt, lifted his chin, and coaxed, “I will take you to dinner. What do you want to eat, fish and chip hot pot?”

The two were very close, their breath intertwined. Jiang Yu nodded, and Qin Shen lowered his head and gave him a peck at the corner of his mouth before driving.

After eating, Qin Shen found that Jiang Yu’s mood was still a little low. He was a little strange. Children have always been very simple. No matter how big things are, they don’t care if they eat delicious food. Why was he still unhappy after so long this time?

He reached out and pinched his brow, thought about the young man’s usual preferences, and spoke, “Miao Miao just bought a new foreign game, do you want to go play?”

“…… To your house?” Jiang Yu turned his head to look at him and nodded, “Good.”

When they arrived at the house, the two got out of the car and went upstairs. Qin Shen let Jiang Yu go to the game room first, and he went to the kitchen to warm up a glass of milk and wash some fruits to bring them upstairs. Milk and fruit were bought by him after thinking that the young man liked it here. This house is also closer to where his company and if he were to live, there needs to be food in the kitchen, and the two come here from time to time, so it is also convenient.

When he got to the game room, he put down the milk and fruit. Qin Shen went to the study next door to deal with the business that he had yet to finish for the day.

When he had just sent the last email, the room suddenly became dark. He got up and pressed the switch on the wall, but it did not respond, then he went to the window to take a look outside and several buildings were also dark. It is estimated that the power is out.

Thinking of Jiang Yu in the game room next door, Qin Shen turned on the screen of his mobile phone and walked out the door. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Jiang Yu at the door. Under the dim light of the screen, seemed that when the light went out Jian Yu was taking a shower, with only one of his shirts loosely covering him. Before Qin Shen could see it clearly, the light on the screen went out. He was about to turn it on again when Jiang Yu reached out and grabbed his wrist and threw himself into his arms.

Qin Shen was stunned, and the other hand without the phone hugged around the young man’s waist. He could smell the damp water vapor on his body. Qin Shen lowered his head, his high nose brushed against the young man’s half-dried, soft hair, and asked in a low voice: “What’s wrong? What happened?”

The young man is really not right tonight.

After waiting for a while, the young man did not answer but stretched out two arms hooked around his neck and tiptoeing up to kiss his lips.

Qin Shen stood still. The young man in his arms was inexperienced. He was like a little animal that does not know the rules to kiss. Qin Shen felt itchy and couldn’t hold back the light laughter that spilled from his throat. Jiang Yu immediately stopped when he heard it, and wanted to withdraw from his arms. Qin Shen’s arms tightened, encaging him against the wall and himself, and said in a low voice “I’ll teach you how to kiss.”

Then he kissed the person dizzy, picked him up, kicked open the bedroom door, walked instinctively in the dark, and threw him onto the bed.

The next day there was no need to film, so Jiang Yu slept until he woke up naturally. When Qin Shen came out of the bathroom, he saw him reaching for the water cup on the bedside table.

Qin Shen went over and tested the temperature of the water cup before sitting on the side of the bed to help him get up, picking up the water cup and feeding it to his mouth.

“What time is it?” He finished drinking the water, his hoarse voice felt better and opened his mouth to ask.

Qin Shen looked at the phone, “Less than ten o’clock. Want to sleep a little longer?”

Last night, the two of them tossed and turned until one or two in the morning before going to sleep.

Jiang Yu shook his head. He did not go back last night; Cheng Cheng must have been worried.

He wanted to get up. Qin Shen went to get him clothes to change and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast. Jiang Yu got dressed and looked at his phone. Lin Cheng didn’t call him last night.

After washing up and going downstairs, Qin Shen had already prepared breakfast. Boiled eggs, hot milk, and sliced toast. He could only do these simple ones.

Jiang Yu didn’t mind the simplicity, and sat at the dining table, eating a slice of bread and a mouthful of hot milk seriously. Qin Shen sat next to him while peeling boiled eggs for him, all the while thinking in his heart that someday he should learn to cook when he has time.

After eating breakfast, Qin Shen sent Jiang Yu back to his apartment. After watching Jiang Yu go upstairs, he didn’t rush to drive away, but made a call to his assistant and instructed, “Find out where Jiang Yu has been, who he’s been with, and what he has done in the past few days.”

The young man was too out of place last night, and since he wouldn’t tell him what had happened, he could only have someone check.

Jiang Yu used the key to enter the door, ready to apologize to Lin Cheng for spending the night outside without telling him, but ended up searching through several rooms and couldn’t find Lin Cheng’s figure. Whether it was the living room or the room, it was exactly the same as when he left yesterday.

Lin Cheng didn’t come back last night either? Jiang Yu sat down on the sofa to call him, and it took a while for someone to answer.

“Hello, Yu’er.” Lin Cheng’s voice was a little hoarse as if he had just woken up.

Jiang Yu asked, “Where are you? Why didn’t you come back last night?”

“What time is it?” Lin Cheng grunted, “Damn, it’s so late. Yu’er, wait for me. I’ll be right back.”

Jiang Yu looked at the phone that was hung up, so he put it down and sat on the sofa to wait for him. After waiting for a while, he got a little sleepy, so he pulled the blanket on the sofa and covered himself with it, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

He didn’t know how long he slept, but he was shaken awake by Lin Cheng. He rubbed his eyes and got up, then he heard Lin Cheng happily say to him, “Yu’er, I found a way to get closer to Qing’s child.”

“What way?” Jiang Yu came to his senses and hurriedly asked.

Lin Cheng said, “I found out that Pei Yun is going to hold a birthday party for his son at the Royal Court Hotel in three days. We can sneak in and bring his son out then.”

“I got two invitations. This is yours.” Lin Cheng leaned over and handed him an invitation.

The air conditioning was on in the living room, and Lin Cheng was only wearing a loose sweater. When he leaned over, he revealed a collarbone with a small mosquito bite-like mark on it.

If it is the previous Jiang Yu, he certainly will not suspect, but he saw such traces in his own body, and immediately understood why Lin Cheng did not come back last night.

He opened his mouth to ask, but Lin Cheng was seriously talking about how he intended to smuggle the child out of the hotel.

The hotel had surveillance, and they didn’t know which room the child would be in that day, so it would be too risky if they went to find the child and then take it away. Fortunately, they are not human and can confuse humans with their voices. When the time came, they only needed to confuse the bodyguard and let him carry the child to the back door of the hotel, where they would meet them and successfully take the child away.

In case they were caught up by Pei Yun, they would let Lu Qing go to the beach and wait in advance, and when they got the child, they would immediately rush to the beach and send Lu Qing back to the sea with the child.

“Yu’er, send Brother Qing and the child back to the sea. We will definitely be discovered by Pei Yun, and it is not safe to stay on the shore. I am afraid that we will not be able to come ashore again in the future. You and Qin Shen…” Lin Cheng hesitated before speaking. He reached out to touch his lower abdomen, and sighed, “You can stay with him these few days. When you go back to the sea, it will also be the time for them to be born.”

The plan was made, the two went to visit Lu Qing and parted at the intersection. Lin Cheng went to make preparations for leaving in three days, while Jiang Yu went to find Qin Shen.

In the office, the assistant was reporting the situation to Qin Shen, “Jiang Yu didn’t go anywhere in the past few days except for visiting a patient at a small clinic in an old alley with Lin Cheng.”

“The small clinic in an old alley?” Qin Shen took the photo handed over by his assistant, on which was a young man lying on a simple hospital bed, pale and thin, looking quite ill.

He remembered what Jiang Yu said that he had a friend from his hometown who was not feeling well and was hospitalized. Could it be this person? Qin Shen frowned as he looked at the photo. How could Jiang Yu say it was good in such a simple place and wouldn’t let him help transfer to a good hospital?

When the phone rang, it was Jiang Yu who called, and he said on the phone, “Mr. Qin, I’m downstairs in your company.”

Jiang Yu waited downstairs for a while, and Qin Shen’s assistant came out and led him into the elevator to go upstairs.

After sending Jiang Yu into the office, the assistant closed the door and went out. Qin Shen had already put the photos away in the drawer and waved at Jiang Yu, “Why did you come to my place?”

Jiang Yu walked up to him and was pulled by his hand to sit on his lap. Jiang Yu took off his mask and put it on the desk. He reached out and wrapped his arms around his waist. His little face pressed to his chest, and whispered, “I missed you.”

The young man’s soft and docile tone tickled and softened Qin Shen’s heart. He hugged the young man, reached out, rubbed the young man’s head, and whispered, “We just separated this morning, now it’s only afternoon, not even ten hours, and you miss me?”

Jiang Yu did not say anything; he just buried deeper in his arms.

Qin Shen thought about his friend and asked, “The friend you talked about last time, how is it?”

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and said softly, “His illness can’t be cured here, so he has to go back to his hometown.”

“I can help him transfer to the best hospital.” Qin Shen remembered the humble hospital bed in the photo and suggested again.

Jiang Yu’s arm around his waist tightened and murmured, “It has already been decided that he is going back home.”

Qin Shen felt that his tone was a bit strange, and before he could think about it, Jiang Yu asked, “How long do you have to get off work? Let’s go to the supermarket to buy food later, and I’ll cook it for you.”

Qin Shen looked at his watch, “Give me half an hour.”

Once half an hour arrived, Qin Shen took Jiang Yu out of the office. The first time they saw the big boss leave work so early, the employees could not help but stare at Jiang Yu wearing a mask behind him and speculate in their hearts about the relationship between the two.

The two arrived at the supermarket, bought the food back, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Qin Shen took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went to the kitchen to help Jiang Yu. When the dishes were cleaned and organized, Jiang Yu let Qin Shen go outside to sit on the sofa while he fried the dishes himself.

Qin Shen could not sit on the sofa, and from time to time he would go to the kitchen door to look at him. When he saw the fried food, he consciously brought it to the table outside, set the dishes and chopsticks, and the two sat down to eat together.

After eating, Qin Shen consciously went to wash the dishes, cut a plate of fruit, and took it to the living room to watch TV together with the young man.

When taking a bath, Jiang Yu asked Qin Shen to go to the bathroom first, and Qin Shen went there without thinking. When the nozzle was turned on, water mist rose up in the bathroom, and a warm body suddenly came over behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist.

The next morning, Qin Shen woke up and saw that the young man in his arms was still sleeping, so he quietly get out of bed to wash up for work, but when he lifted the covers, Jiang Yu reached out and pulled his sleeve, rubbing his eyes and asked vaguely, “Where are you going?”
