Chapter 376 A Place to Live
Before touring the park-like house that Bellinda had always talked about, Della followed Zhou Yushi to a room in the front that was surrounded by thin wooden-framed windows. Under the incandescent light, the room was as bright as day. Della opened Yintong and browsed the news.
In Azkaban, there is no positive Sirius, and Aryan shows up again.
Definitely Maggie's work.
She and Maggie have similar styles of doing bad things. They always do bad things secretly, and when they encounter a grand crime that is widely publicized, they will try to clear themselves of all charges. But that is not enough, and they must also grab all the attention that comes from the publicity.
"Country Y is still too chaotic." Zhou Yushi finished reading and shook his head.
"Yes, it's too messy." Della said, and the shadow in her heart was removed again. She read the words in front of her as if she was reading a story from a strange country. An inexplicable sense of distance enveloped and protected her.
In Zhou Yushi's opinion, whether or not escaping is shameful depends on the situation. He generally does not judge other people's behavior. However, at this critical moment, he intends to ask Tang Yu one more question, "Have you ever thought about going back?"
Before Tang Xueji put his hand on Della, the matter could be stopped if either Tang Yu or Della withdrew.
"No," Della said firmly, "I've had enough of that place."
lie.
It's not because of the location at all.
Zhou Yushi saw it clearly. He did not use the reward that had been hanging on the silver letter all year round to expose Della's cover-up. He just smiled and invited her, "Okay, we've seen the news. Shall we go back to my yard to find Bellinda? Then we can go around my house together."
"Did you send me here because you were afraid that I would get lost in this yard?" Della walked out under Zhou Yushi's instructions.
"Let me correct you. The place we are in now is a courtyard. Belinda lives in a courtyard. My other uncles also live in different courtyards." Zhou Yushi led Della past the jagged rocks and onto the wooden bridge across the running water. He motioned for Della to look up and look into the distance. "The house is made up of countless courtyards, and there are countless corridors and paths connecting them. So it's easy to get lost in this house."
Della's attention shifted from the cute, round koi in the water to a sea of flowers. All the budding trees had beautiful and natural shapes. This vibrant area alone was connected in all directions. Three roads appeared, including paths, corridors and arches. The narrow distance between the walls and the houses also hinted at several unexpected paths.
Della was admiring the beautiful scenery while secretly marveling at it. Suddenly, she was surprised to find that it was still winter outside, but it was so warm and peaceful inside. "You, did you use some weather-related magic?"
"That brings us to the most wonderful part of this house," Zhou Yushi said with a smile, and led Della forward with ease. "There is a hot spring here, and those flowers are all steamed by the warm air inside."
"Hot springs?" Della said in surprise. She looked at the antique buildings and layout around her, and felt the beautiful scenery of a new village behind Zhou Yushi again and again. She couldn't help but say, "You really found a fairyland to be your home."
"Thank you for the compliment," Zhou Yushi agreed generously, "You can go to the hot springs with Bei'er more often. The natural hot spring water is very good for the body."
"I won't miss it," Della's mouth curled up at the countless ingenious designs. Appreciation of beauty occupied most of her mind at the moment. She said happily, "I haven't been to a hot spring yet."
Soon they returned to the courtyard where Zhou Yushi lived. This courtyard was generally smaller than Tang Xie's home in the capital, but it was spacious and luxurious for only three people. It had a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a guest room, a living room, a study, a small kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a warehouse and a utility room with a long bed.
There were seven or eight red plum trees planted in the yard, the flowers were in bloom, and the fragrance was intoxicating. There was running water on the side to form a small pool, and countless exotic flowers and plants were planted around it. A small pavilion rose from the ground surrounded by flowers and plants. Belinda sat sideways on the pavilion, throwing fish food to the koi out of boredom.
"You're finally back!" Upon hearing the noise, she turned around, a smile on her face, and ran over enthusiastically, "I'm alone here, and it's boring to look at the most beautiful scenery."
"My fault, my fault," Zhou Yushi admitted his mistake first. He first moved aside to let Della and Belinda get closer, and then led them to the living room. "How is it? Do you still like it here?"
"It's undoubtedly beautiful, and it's one of the highest-quality, best-tasting resorts," Belinda commented, with a lively expression on her pretty face, showing both her appreciation and distress. "But how should I put it? Although Grandpa Wu's house is not as big as this one, it's cozy enough, so this place seems too big."
Della looked at Zhou Yu with her eyes wide open. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes showed clear approval.
"You should at least give Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang more chances. They are both very nice people." In front of the huge landscape painting hanging in the living room, Zhou Yushi looked at the luggage of the three of them and was in a dilemma. He didn't know how to arrange the room for a moment.
Well...arranging Della and Belinda together was definitely the most considerate approach, but he secretly felt a little uncomfortable with him and his girlfriend sleeping in separate rooms for a long time.
To be honest, he has such a perfect girlfriend and he himself is not the kind of person who is indifferent to all desires. It is already generous of him to have been single for almost a whole month.
"Your grandfather looks," Della thought about the old man she saw when she first arrived, who seemed to be only a few years older than Tang Xie. She thought about that man's kind face and said carefully, "very young."
"It's time to change our mindset," Zhou Yushi was still worrying about which room to put all the luggage in. "Now we are not meeting Muggles. The life span of wizards in Country Z is no less than that of wizards abroad."
"Oh——" This sentence woke up Della and Belinda. They had only been marveling at the house since they came in. Both of them had Muggle backgrounds, and for a while they were still using the concept of being across the sea to identify wizards.
The wizards over there were very easy to distinguish. Their robes could be seen through at a glance, and their eyes were as clear as those of people from the last century. Besides being clear, they also showed curiosity, arrogance or disgust that could be seen through at a glance.
But the wizards they saw here were similar to the Muggles they saw when they went out. The similarity here was not just in their clothes, but in their equal enthusiasm for life.
"You are all too low-key." Della made this conclusion. She had seen through Zhou Yushi's little tricks and acted as a good person. She picked up her luggage and smiled at the young couple. "Since there are many rooms here, I will have the big bed to myself recently."
"I haven't had enough of being roommates with you yet," Belinda said regretfully, blinking.
Zhou Yushi couldn't help but smile, but when he saw the cunning in Della's eyes, he suppressed the corners of his lips, realizing that Della was deliberately keeping him hanging for a while longer.
