Evil Love Appears chapter 135

Extra Chapter 5: Renovation

After getting married, the first thing Xu Jiale had to worry about was home renovation.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Fu Xiaoyu preferred Xu Jiale’s Uloft over his luxurious and enormous Junya Villa.

“Why?” Xu Jiale couldn’t help but stroke his chin and ask, “Is my place better than yours? Smells better?”

“Well,” Fu Xiaoyu didn’t hide it and said seriously, “Xu Jiale, I like your place… It feels cozy.”

“Heh, that’s true.”

Xu Jiale couldn’t help but feel a little proud. It seemed that his fox’s den was indeed quite comfortable.

“But…” Fu Xiaoyu’s tone changed, and he looked around, “I feel like it’s a bit small here.”

“Small?”

“Yes,” Fu Xiaoyu walked to the bedroom door, glanced at Xu Jiale’s wardrobe, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Xu Jiale, I want a walk-in closet, the U-shaped kind. I have nearly a hundred shirts, so I need a custom-made double-row sliding wardrobe, and I also need a whole wall for my shoes. Anyway, it can’t be smaller than the one at Junya, and it would be even better if it’s a bit bigger.”

He even put on the serious expression of a demanding client.

Xu Jiale, at the midpoint of his note-taking, had to take a deep breath and couldn’t help but recall the size of the walk-in closet at Junya. Then he looked at his master bedroom and living room.

So how was he supposed to fit such a huge walk-in closet into this place?

Didn’t Fu Xiaoyu just praise the coziness of his home a while ago?

Uloft’s design philosophy was for urban petit traditional or middle-class living spaces, so it was indeed cozy. But sometimes, coziness might not go hand in hand with luxurious spaciousness or such a massive walk-in closet.

So, Fu Xiaoyu was basically an unreasonable client!

“Oh, by the way, I also need at least five drawers for my accessories like cufflinks, watches, and shirt clips,” the annoying client continued to make demands.

Xu Jiale was muttering in his mind but firmly responded, “Alright, I’ll handle it.”

However, Fu Xiaoyu’s requests didn’t stop there. He walked to the living room and continued, “And you don’t have a dedicated study room for work. I need a room at least the size of my company’s office, with a good view, preferably a floor-to-ceiling window.”

Darn it.

Xu Jiale couldn’t help but look at his living room. His apartment design was initially meant to open up the entire living room and workspace, and indeed, it didn’t have a dedicated office.

“So, um,” Xu Jiale tentatively asked, “are we not like before?”

“Before,” in this context, referred to the times when Fu Xiaoyu used to unreservedly occupy his office desk, making him move to the coffee table in the living room to study. He would grumble, but secretly he liked it, as they could easily look at each other while working, making it a sweet experience.

“Before was when we were dating,” Fu Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly. “Now we’re married, and thinking rationally for the long term, I definitely need my own workspace.”

“…” Xu Jiale’s face turned a little red. Is this what newlyweds should be saying?

Despite his embarrassment, Xu Jiale noted down a few keywords in his notebook: big study, floor-to-ceiling windows, and good views.

“Oh, and there’s something else…”

“Something else?”

“Well, I…” Fu Xiaoyu hesitated and his long eyelashes twitched uncontrollably.

Xu Jiale suddenly had a bad feeling. He narrowed his eyes, thinking, “If this Fu Xiaoyu dares to ask for a separate bedroom right now, I’m going to do something about it.”

“Xu Jiale, I want my own bathroom,” Fu Xiaoyu whispered near his ear, his nose turning slightly pink, with a hint of shyness.

What should one do when the client presents completely unrealistic renovation demands? Xu Jiale had his answer.

He decided to purchase the neighboring vacant ULoft.

A walk-in closet? No problem.

A study? Even better.

A bathroom? Absolutely fine.

In addition to fulfilling Fu Xiaoyu’s requests, he prepared two guest rooms for the convenience of Fu Jing, Xu Lang, and Nanyi, so they could visit anytime.

Alright, let’s go back to the topic of the bathroom.

Why did Fu Xiaoyu need a private bathroom?

Xu Jiale was genuinely puzzled for a moment.

Because all this time, they were inseparable, even in the bathroom.

Every morning when they woke up, they would sometimes take a bath together. Sometimes, when one was in the shower, the other would be outside washing their face, brushing their teeth, or doing laundry.

When questioned, Fu Xiaoyu had to admit, blushing, with an almost inaudible voice, “In most cases, it’s not a big deal, but when it comes to… well, doing number two, I want to have my own private bathroom.”

“Are you saying you need a… a toilet just for yourself?” Xu Jiale barely managed to hold back his imminent burst of laughter.

Fu Xiaoyu’s face shifted from pink to crimson.

He said nothing, simply turned away from Xu Jiale, presenting his backside.

Is this funny?

Nobody knew, but before, when he first moved in with Xu Jiale, he had secretly worried about this for a long time.

You see, while most people might think there’s nothing to worry about and suggest just locking the door, the root of the problem wasn’t there.

The root of the problem was that he didn’t want anyone to know when he was doing this, and he didn’t want anyone, including especially Xu Jiale, to walk into the bathroom afterward and smell anything.

Damn, he just didn’t like it, and even the thought of it made him anxious to the point where it became a barrier.

When they were dating, he couldn’t bring himself to say, “Please avoid using the bathroom for half an hour after I’ve done my business,” as it would have damaged his dignity and self-image.

So, initially, he would often sneak off to take care of things while Xu Jiale was cooking in the kitchen, or early in the morning. Fortunately, he had a regular schedule, so it wasn’t too difficult to arrange. If he couldn’t find a suitable time, he would stay in the bathroom for a long time, even taking a shower to hide the evidence.

Now that they were finally married, he felt that being with Xu Jiale was a lifelong commitment. But going number two was a lifelong commitment too. Therefore, he had to muster up the courage to make this request…

“Hahaha-hahaha-hahaha…”

Xu Jiale was still laughing behind him.

Fu Xiaoyu was infuriated, and his stance of standing with his back to Xu Jiale was too rigid and hurt his back a bit due to excessive force.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Did Xu Jiale really want him to be unhappy doing this for the rest of his life? That would be a colossal accusation.

“Hey…”

Xu Jiale finally stopped laughing, and Fu Xiaoyu felt the warmth of Xu Jiale’s chest gradually approaching from behind, but it didn’t come to his front.

To some extent, this was a considerate gesture because Fu Xiaoyu didn’t want Xu Jiale to see his tomato-red face right now.

Xu Jiale discreetly handed over a piece of paper from behind.

On it were hastily written three lines:

• Walk-in closet, U-shaped, spacious (✓)
• Study, view, floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious (✓)
• Wife’s VIP exclusive luxury toilet (✓✓✓✓✓✓)

The new bathroom was just around the corner from the master bedroom because Xu Jiale didn’t want Fu Xiaoyu to walk all the way to the other side of the house in the middle of the night.

The bathroom door had a picture of Xia’an with an annoyed expression, and next to it was a sign written by Xu Jiale that said “Do Not Disturb.”

To make matters worse, this Alpha, at any time, whether Fu Xiaoyu was inside or beside the bathroom, would exaggerate and tiptoe past, putting on a very dog-like appearance.

But in any case, four months after officially getting married to Xu Jiale, Fu Xiaoyu finally had the freedom for a peaceful number two.

To put it mildly, this resolved a significant issue in his life. However, the perfect life still had a tiny flaw.

Maybe because of the photo of Xia’an on the bathroom door, this old cat developed an interest in this bathroom. Xu Jiale was forced to put a litter box inside. As a result, there were situations where, late at night, when Fu Xiaoyu sleepily entered his designated bathroom, an unexpected furry guest would be squatting in the box, looking at him with a serious expression.

Fu Xiaoyu would pull down his sleep pants to his knees, sit on the toilet, and lock eyes with Xia’an.

After a long time, he finally had to admit defeat and, holding his nose, said, “Xia’an, do you know? You’re really awful.”

Even worse, when he walked out, he happened to see Xu Jiale.

His internal alarm bells all rang in an instant.

“Xu Jiale?”

“I feel that Xia’an’s stomach hasn’t been great the past couple of days and wanted to clean it while checking.”

“No, you’re not allowed to!” The hair on the back of Fu Xiaoyu’s neck stood on end. He grabbed Xu Jiale’s neck and dragged the Alpha into the bedroom.

An Omega who stood at 1.8 meters was indeed immensely strong when he exploded. However, Xu Jiale, being dragged along while still trying to talk, didn’t waste any time.

“What’s the rush?” he raised an eyebrow. “It’s not like I’m going to be doing that for you—mmph.”

Before he could utter anymore words, Fu Xiaoyu pressed him against the wall.

Xu Jiale, shut up!

Fu Xiaoyu fiercely pounced on him.

At that moment, the corridor’s motion-activated lights quietly dimmed.

In the darkness, he deeply kissed Xu Jiale’s lips.
