Zhou Yang has a straightforward personality and always says what he thinks. He felt that he had a good impression of Yu Zhi at first sight, so he just said it directly if he wanted to make friends with him.

When Yu Zhi saw Zhou Yang, he thought of Lin Yunsong. They both had the same cheerful personality and were enthusiastic but not offensive.

But he probably didn't expect that Zhou Yang wanted to be friends with him simply because he was good-looking.

"I'm not an omega, but there's no problem making friends with me." Yu Zhi replied to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang was very happy to hear Yu Zhi agree, and took out his mobile phone to find the WeChat QR code.

"Okay, let's add a friend first."

When Zhou Yang smiled, she had dimples on her lips, making her look even more harmless.

Yu Zhi also took out his cell phone and the two added each other as friends.

"My brother told me you're from Kyoto University. That's amazing."

Yu didn't know who the brother Zhou Yang was talking about was.

"Your brother?"

Zhou Yang remembered that Yu Zhi still didn't know the relationship between him and Zhao Yanche.

Zhou Yang explained: "My brother is Teacher Zhao."

Yu Zhi guessed that the two people might be cousins because they had different surnames and didn't look much alike.

Zhou Yang is a junior at another key university in northern Beijing, studying the school's flagship major.

They chatted for a while before they heard someone calling "Yangyang".

Then I saw Boss Zhao walking around the corner of the stairs.

Zhou Yang saw the smile on Zhao Yanche's face and smiled instantly, revealing dimples: "Brother."

Zhao Yanche responded with a "hmm". Seeing Yu Zhi was there, he said, "Teacher Yu, you're here so early."

There is still nearly half an hour before the afternoon class starts, and no students have arrived yet.

Yu Zhi: "I came here first if there's nothing else."

Zhao Yanche had never asked Yu Zhi where he lived before, thinking that he had nowhere to go at noon.

"Teacher Yu's home is far away. If you don't have time to go home at noon, you can rest in the lounge on the first floor. No one usually uses it."

Yu Zhi didn't need this. This place was not far from Meng Yingnian's company, so he could go there to have lunch with him at noon. Otherwise, Meng Yingnian would often forget to eat.

In fact, it’s not that Meng Yingnian forgot to eat. He also felt hungry, but because he had no appetite, he often put the lunch aside without eating it when Chen Xun brought it in.

Yu Zhi: "It's not bad. It's quite convenient for me to go home."

Zhao Yanche nodded: "Okay, you can tell me if you need anything."

Yu Zhi responded softly, "Okay."

Zhao Yanche had already sat down next to Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang came forward as soon as he saw him sit down. Zhao Yanche stroked Zhou Yang's curly hair and asked, "Why don't you go to sleep at noon?"

Zhou Yang smiled playfully: "I'm here to wait for Yu Zhi."

Zhao Yanche knew what kind of person he was and chuckled, and that smile looked doting no matter how you looked at it.

He apologized to Yu Zhi again, "I'm sorry, Teacher Yu, Yangyang is a bit naughty, please don't be offended."

Zhou Yang is older than Yu Zhi, but in front of Zhao Yanche, he is like a child.

Yu Zhi waved his hand: "No, Zhou Yang has a very good personality."

The only person Yu Zhi could call his brother or sister was Yu Jia, and he didn't have any cousins. He wasn't quite sure how the brothers got along with each other.

I have only heard Meng Yingnian talk about what happened between him and his elder brother.

But you can still feel that Zhao Yanche and Zhou Yang have a good relationship.

The house doesn't look very spacious. The first floor is used as a studio, and it doesn't look like anyone else lives on the second floor. It should be just the two brothers living there.

Zhao Yanche doesn't talk much. When he and Yu Zhi are together, they have basically nothing to say except talking about things. But now that Zhou Yang is here, Zhao Yanche talks more and always has a faint smile on his face.

It was almost time for class, so Zhao Yanche took Zhou Yang back upstairs.

In the afternoon, there were classes taught by two other teachers. These two teachers also graduated from Peking University. They were two years older than Zhao Yanche and were his direct seniors.

These two were more talkative than Zhao Yanche. Knowing that Yu Zhi was a junior from the same school, they chatted with him for a while longer. The atmosphere in their class was also more lively than in the morning.

After get off work, Yu Zhi met Zhou Yang again.

Everyone here should know Zhou Yang. The students called him "Brother Yang" one by one, and Zhou Yang said goodbye to them one after another.

In the last class, Teacher Zhang said to Zhou Yang, "Yangyang, where is Yan Che?"

Zhou Yang said with a smile: "My brother is cooking upstairs."

Teacher Zhang: "You're cooking so early."

"I'm hungry." Zhou Yang said.

Zhou Yang has lived with Zhao Yanche since high school. When Teacher Zhang met him, he was still a student. Zhou Yang looks young, and some people would believe that he is a high school student now.

Teacher Zhang chatted with Zhou Yang for a few words and then left.

When Yu Zhi came out, Zhou Yang sent him to the door and said goodbye to his new friend.

As soon as Yu Zhi walked to the place where Meng Yingnian parked his car when he took him to work in the morning, he saw a familiar car. He looked around carefully before quickly getting in the car.

If others saw him commuting to and from get off work in a luxury car every day, he wouldn't know how to explain that he wasn't a young master out to experience life.

It was Meng Yingnian's driver who came to pick up Yu Zhi. The driver parked the car in Huachuang's underground garage, and Yu Zhi took the elevator all the way to Meng Yingnian's office.

Meng Yingnian asked his assistant to prepare snacks for Yu Zhi in advance.

At the end of the workday, Meng Yingnian stood up and said to Yu Zhi, "Let's go. Let's reward Zhizhi today. You've worked hard on your first day at work."

Yu Zhi just found it funny that he was rewarding himself without even getting his salary on the first day of work.

However, he never had any objection to whatever Meng Yingnian took him to eat.

On the way back, Yu Zhi saw another bouquet of flowers from the car and looked at Meng Yingnian.

"Zhizhi is on vacation now, I can always send her flowers."

The styles of flowers Meng Yingnian sends are different every time. Yu Zhi has no particular preference, and every bouquet is beautiful.

After returning home, Yu Zhi prepared the flowers and put them in a vase before starting to draw.

The east wing was converted into a studio, and the place where Yu Zhi drew his drafts became Meng Yingnian's study.

When Yu Zhi first came to the Meng family, no one was allowed to enter Meng Yingnian's study, but now it has become half of Yu Zhi's study.

Meng Yingnian specially customized a new desk for him. Anyway, the study was big enough so that putting two desks in it would not seem crowded.

Yu Zhi was drawing in the study. When Meng Yingnian had work, he would handle it. When he had no work, he would accompany him to read in the study.

When the time came, Meng Yingnian called Yu Zhi back to the room, and from time to time he would pull him up to move around and drink some water.

It’s dry in winter, and Yu Zhi still doesn’t like to drink water, especially when he is drawing, he can’t even remember to drink the water cup even when it’s right next to him.

Sometimes my lips are chapped and bleeding when I wake up in the morning.

Meng Yingnian also bought him lip balm and helped him apply it before going to bed.

Yu Zhi's lips are rosy and shiny with lip balm, making her look very kissable.

But Meng Yingnian kissed Yu Zhi in many places, except his mouth.

Kissing was too ambiguous, and once he started, it was difficult for him to control himself from doing something else.

It's fine to maintain the status quo; there's no need to rush for success.

Yu Zhi's part-time job does not have holidays because it is winter vacation and students have plenty of time to go to the studio for training.

There is the Spring Festival in the middle, so I go to school for more than two weeks before the New Year and then for more than a week after the New Year, which is exactly one month. By then, Yu Zhi will be about to start school.

Yu Zhi left work quite late and saw Zhou Yang as soon as he walked out the door.

There was a middle-aged man opposite Zhou Yang. The two men looked very similar in their eyes and eyebrows. They were standing in front of the car and no one knew what they were talking about.

Zhou Yang is a warm and enthusiastic person, like a little sun, but this is the first time that Yu Zhi has seen this kind of expression on Zhou Yang's face, with anger mixed with grievance as he confronts the person opposite him.

Yu Zhi hesitated whether to take a step forward or go back inside.

But before Yu Zhi could figure it out, Zhou Yang and that person parted ways unhappily.

The middle-aged man drove away in a cloud of dust. Zhou Yang turned around dejectedly and saw Yu Zhi standing at the door with a troubled look on his face.

Zhou Yang forced a wry smile and walked towards Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi hesitated, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

He had never encountered such a situation and didn't know how to comfort others.

I wanted to imitate Meng Yingnian's way of comforting him, but I felt it was not appropriate.

Meng Yingnian always held him in his arms. Yu Zhi could quickly calm down by feeling his body temperature and smelling his unique scent.

Zhou Yang probably saw Yu Zhi's hesitation and laughed heartily.

Zhao Yanche was not at home in the afternoon, and Zhou Yang didn't want to be alone.

"Yu Zhi, can you stay with me for a while? My brother is not at home and I don't want to be alone."

Looking at Zhou Yang's drooping eyes, Yu Zhi couldn't say no.

"it is good."

This was Yu Zhi's first time coming to the second floor. As soon as Zhou Yang came up, he picked up a pillow and curled up on the sofa.

Yu Zhi observed for a while, then poured a glass of water for Zhou Yang and handed it to him.

Zhou Yang was still in a bad mood and said sullenly, "Thank you."

Yu Zhi sat with him on the sofa and sent a message to Meng Yingnian saying that he would be there later.

"Don't you want to ask what happened just now?" Zhou Yang's voice suddenly sounded.

Yu Zhi comforted him softly: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. I won't ask. You can also pretend that you didn't see anything."

Everyone has privacy, and Yu Zhi has never wanted to explore it, let alone poke fun at people's sore spots.

Yu Zhi's attitude made Zhou Yang feel relieved and even made him want to talk.

Yu Zhiming is two years younger than himself, but he looks particularly reliable.

Some things are easier to talk about with people who are not so close, and Zhou Yang liked Yu Zhi at first sight, not just because he was handsome.

"That was my dad just now. Actually, my brother is not my brother. He is my neighbor's brother."

Yu Zhi didn't expect Zhou Yang to say this, and he didn't expect that he and Zhao Yanche had no blood relationship.

I've never met their families, and I thought they were just brothers relying on each other.

But these were all his guesses, he never asked.

Zhou Yang continued, "My mother died when I was very young, and my father remarried. That aunt treated me very well in front of my father, but when he was not around, she ignored me completely. My father was busy with work, so I didn't dare to say these things, for fear that he would think I was deliberately targeting the aunt. So when I was little, I would go to my brother all day alone."

Zhou Yang's experience is somewhat similar to Yu Zhi's, and Yu Zhi can empathize with her.

In fact, Zhou Yang mentioned this matter to his father when he was a child, but his aunt denied it and just said that she didn't like her. Zhou Yang was scolded by his father and never dared to confide in his father again.

"Later, my aunt gave birth to a younger brother. With three of them in the family, I felt redundant. By then, my brother and his family had also moved out. My younger brother loved to pester me to play, but my aunt always scolded him for disturbing me. I liked my younger brother very much because he was the only one in the family who treated me like a family member."

As Zhou Yang spoke, his expression became more and more aggrieved. He probably didn't know that in Yu Zhi's eyes, Zhou Yang was squatting on the sofa like a puppy caught in the rain, waiting for his owner to take him home.

Yu Zhi thought that he should be waiting for Zhao Yanche to come back.

"My aunt is always gentle and kind, but I know she doesn't like me. When I get close to my brother, my aunt is unhappy. When I distance myself from him, my father says I'm cold-blooded and indifferent to my own brother."

Zhou Yang said this with a wry smile, which was more heartbreaking than crying.

"Until one time, when I was living on campus in high school, I came home and found I couldn't get in. They had changed the locks but didn't tell me the password or enter my fingerprint. I waited alone from noon to night, only to see the three of them returning home, talking and laughing. I called them several times, but no one answered."

"I stubbornly waited at the door, just to see when they would come back."
