After the review period was over, You Huo and Qin Jiu's personal assets were quickly unfrozen, their houses included.
Both places had been empty for all the years they were gone and seemed unfit as human
lodging after all this time. As the owners had to go for special training for a few months, they had no time to get themselves a place to stay and Lao-yu took the heavy responsibility upon himself to get them a place that they could return to during the holidays.
Lao-yu set his claws on his nephew's place first. This middle-aged friend held in his own sense of aesthetic and redecorated according to the monotone colour theme of black, white and grey.
Looking around after, he felt that the house seemed too cold and lacked human warmth. In a moment of weakness, Lao-yu hung a painting of 'prosperous peonies' on the wall, two couplets were in the painting as well, 'peace and happiness' was written on the left while 'unending wealth' was written on the right.
On the 20th of May, You Huo's special training ended and he went home for a break. With Lao-Yu as a guide, he was brought to their new home to welcome the surprise. Yu Wen pulled out his phone to record the moment of surprise and sent the video to his other ge.
When he received the video, Qin Jiu had just gotten off the armoured vehicle and he leaned against the door to watch the video. He saw his big invigilator's' empty expression and the backview of Lao-yu fleeing in despair.
Yu Wen's caption: This was all Lao-yu, I was not an accomplice.
Qin Jiu had laughed so hard. The person on duty was waiting at the side and he handed Qin Jiu form to register for going on leave. He had filled it up till the section requiring his correspondence address and Qin Jiu paused for a moment before copying the information You Huo had sent over previously onto the space provided.
No matter what happens, this section will never be empty again
