Chapter 367 Tomorrow

The courtyard of Zhou Yushi's second uncle's house is not small. There are three rooms facing the north door, which are the bedroom, living room and large study for the old couple; the east wing has two large rooms and a small room, which are the bedroom of Tang Xi and his wife, Tang Lei's room and bathroom respectively; the kitchen is at the top of the west wing, and the guest room is against the courtyard wall at the end. There is a small storage room between the two large rooms.

Passing the hanging flower gate on the south side, there is another back house. Through the wooden window, you can see several rows of shelves. This small house is filled with Tang Xie’s precious flowers.

Although the yard is spacious, it has to accommodate many people. No matter how spacious a guest room is, it cannot accommodate one man and two women. Therefore, Della and Belinda stayed in one room, and Zhou Yushi was arranged to stay in the same room with Tang Yun.

In fact, they could have gone to live in the yard next door where Zhou Yushi's father was not at home, but with a few words like "Oh, it's not cleaned again", "You haven't been here for a long time, brothers should be close to each other", and "You see, you are almost drunk, so you and Xiao Yun can be taken care of at night", the three of them decided to stay there.

Although Zhou Yushi's face turned red from drinking one glass of white wine after another with the elders at the table, he still walked slowly and sent Bellinda and Della, who had already finished their meals, to their rooms under the pretext of "adjusting to jet lag".

"How is it? Are you used to it?" He closed the door, pinched his swollen temples and turned on the heater. "Their family is very nice, but if you can't get used to that kind of hospitality, I can take you somewhere else to live. After all, Country Z is very big, and there are many places to travel."

"No, that's right. I've always wanted to feel this kind of family atmosphere." Belinda took out a few red envelopes stuffed in her pocket. "But dear, do you have the custom of giving cash when meeting someone?"

"Even me?" Della looked at the wooden chair with a grand shape and simple lines in the room for a while. She sat on it, and her face showed a rare kind of tiredness similar to that of being drunk after eating and drinking, as if she was the drunk one. She also took out a few red envelopes.

"You have to give it when you bring your partner home. Normally, it's not good to give less. If you go to my grandfather's house in the south this year, you will definitely get more, Belle," Zhou Yushi smiled and took advantage of the information gap by not saying that this kind of red envelope is usually given to prospective marriage partners. It doesn't matter whether he and Belinda get married or not. Anyway, he probably doesn't want to marry anyone else in this life.

"As for yours, Della, they didn't buy you a Christmas present, so I just gave Belle a red envelope and returned your gift." He didn't touch the quilt because he was drunk. He used his magic wand to puff the quilt in the air. "You will also get a red envelope during the Chinese New Year. At least I will give you one. We also give red envelopes to children during the Chinese New Year here. You are only 16 years old. You can get one."

"I like your custom of giving cash when you meet," Belinda curiously played with the red envelope she received for the first time, muttering, "I've decided that the first specialty must be this kind of red envelope. When I return to Country F, the expressions on other people's faces when they receive this will definitely be very funny."

"If you're so easily tempted by novelty, then you'll have to buy suitcases everywhere," Zhou Yushi first took out Della's suitcase by the wall and put it aside so that Della could sort it out later. Then he opened the suitcase next to him and took out the small bag of cleaning supplies and clothes for Bellinda to change into, and put her cosmetics on the table by the window. He thought for a moment, then took out a few entertaining French novels he brought with him, "You guys should have a good rest tonight. If you can't sleep, you can read some books. Let's go to a few places tomorrow, and they'll be able to chat without me."

Della, who always relies on herself to adapt to unfamiliar environments, held the red envelope in her hand. When she looked at Zhou Yu who was busy running around, she realized that this guy had even planned their social life well.

There would still be no problem letting her adapt independently, but it would be nice to have someone who treats her like a child to help her deal with a bunch of people who treat her like a child.

"Okay, I'll go back and continue drinking. Second uncle can drink now," Zhou Yushi, who had almost cleaned up, stood up to take a breath. He touched his face intimately with Bellinda, then turned around and smiled at Della, "Take this place as your home. Don't be polite. If the guests are not happy, the host will not feel happy either."

Della smiled and nodded, watching Zhou Yushi walk out with unsteady steps. When the door closed, she and Bellinda, who was sitting on the bed, looked at each other and laughed.

"It's been a while since I last called you roommate." Belinda said with emotion, looking at the red spot on Della's face caused by the heater.

"This time we're even closer," Della stood up and sat on the bed next to Belinda. She naturally put her arms around her waist and leaned on her roommate. "After all, there's only one bed."

Finally, Della added quietly, "I miss being roommates with you."

"Me too," Belinda hooked her shoulders and hugged Della gently back, "and I'm especially glad that you're here now so that I'm not alone in a foreign country."

"Zhou's family is better than I thought," Della raised her head in Bellinda's arms, "I can see that he is not short of money, but I didn't expect that being a wealthy family is not associated with strict rules or cold people."

In Della's opinion, the wealthier the family, the more hidden competition and interests there will be, and the higher the social expectations will be, which is likely to form a high-pressure environment that can break at any time.

But this family doesn't have that. Judging from the very different personalities of Zhou Yushi and Tang Xie, the larger family in the south that Zhou Yushi mentioned should not be a high-pressure family either.

"Yes, I was also quite surprised. I always thought Zhou was very clear about his accounts, but now it seems that this is just his personal behavior." Belinda shrugged. She had no opinion on Zhou Yushi. If her lover didn't settle the accounts, she wouldn't be able to live in nine houses now. "And his family here makes me more satisfied with him now."

"Well, I also like such a warm family." Della lowered her head and leaned on Belinda again. "Thank you so much, Belinda. Thank you for taking me out of the little house and bringing me to this warm place."

"Are you just thanking me?" Belinda didn't want to make the atmosphere too sentimental, so she rubbed Della's arm and joked, "Zhou is the one who arranged everything."

"I know it was your request," Della said sullenly, buried in Belinda's arms, "Only that day did he start calling me 'Della'. I know Zhou has never been a person whose sympathy outweighs his reason."

"You mean I'm irrational?" Belinda, who was holding Della, tilted her head and asked her.

"It means that you will only consider me when you encounter something related to me." Della looked up and smiled sweetly. She and Belinda looked at each other and laughed out loud.

The two reunited friends immediately fell on the bed, both looking forward to tomorrow in a drowsy state, a tomorrow accompanied by family, friendship and love.
