《What Should I Do if the School Bully is Interested in Me》
Chapter 1 - May I Pursue You?
Chapter 1 - May I Pursue You?
After Ji Liao finished ying basketball with his ssmates and returned to the ssroom, he checked his phone and at a nce, saw the WeChat notification on the screen: Baby, your shirt is too short. Your slim waist nearly made me hard.
When Ji Liao read the message, his face reddened drastically. Yu Jin, who was behind him, saw his strange expression and curiously came closer. What are you looking at?
Ji Liao panicked and quickly pushed him away, turning off his phone and putting it in his pocket. Right then, the ss bell rang and Yu Jin didnt pay any more attention, instantly returning to his seat.
Ji Liao heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking of the extreme message from earlier, his face became red and hot.
Returning to the night three days before.
Ji Liao was slumped on his bed, browsing through WeiBo when there was a WeChat notification requesting him to be added as a friend. The remark from the other party: Im He Cheng Ming.
At first, Ji Liao had not reacted to who He Cheng Ming was. When he realised that it was that ss grass from ss Two, the well-known school bully He Cheng Ming, he quickly scrambled up and sat straight, hugging his phone.
He thought to himself, I dont think Ive offended him before, right?
The two of them were from the same school but in different sses. He Cheng Ming was in ss Two and Ji Liao was in ss Twelve, eighteen thousand miles apart. So, although they were in the same year, they werepletely unfamiliar with each other and had nomon friends.
So why was he adding him?
Ji Liao was thinking of the reason and dyed epting his request. He Cheng Ming had probably waited enough as he sent another request: ept me.
Ji Liao was hastened and subconsciously selected ept.
The other party immediately sent over a message: Ji Liao?
Ji Liao was actually a little afraid of He Cheng Ming. Although they had never interacted, he had heard many things about He Cheng Mings brilliant deeds. For example, he had emotionally abused a ssmate just because that ssmate had touched a book of his. Another example was Chen Li Wen from their ss. Because he had secretly discussed He Cheng Ming, on the next day, he was beaten up until he had to be admitted to a hospital. These were the consequences of offending the school bully.
Even hearing about it made Ji Liao scared to death, so he replied with particr prudence: Yes, Im Ji Liao. I didnt see it earlier. Sorry. May I know why youre looking for me?
He even used the honorific you.
The other person very quickly input: ... you? Am I that old?
Ji Liao hurriedly exined: No, no, I just wanted to show respect.
The tall, slender teenager on the other end, who was lying on the bed, holding up the phone with both hands, let out augh.
He replied: Just call me by my name. Nothing much. Just wanted to chat with you.
Ji Liao found it strange but still replied politely: Oh...chat about what?
He couldnt figure it out. What was there to chat about? They werent close!
Using the interval before He Cheng Ming replied, Ji Liao got off the bed and poured himself a ss of water to ease his nervousness.
The phone notification sounded.
He Cheng Ming: Just a casual chat. Do you have a girlfriend?
Ji Liao had just taken a mouthful of water when the question made him swallow it the wrong way, causing an intense bout of coughing.
Huh? Was this considered a casual chat? They werent close enough to talk about such personal things, right? Of course, he only dared to ask this question in his mind. He wasnt brave enough to question the school bully!
So, he replied honestly: No. Behind that, he even added an emoticon with a stupid expression.
He Cheng Ming found the emoticon adorable and the corner of his lips lifted unconsciously. He continued asking: Then do you have a boyfriend?
Ji Liao was instantly petrified! What, did he look very gay? He was just a little fairer than the other boys of the same age. Why did he suspect he was gay?!
Although he felt indignant, the reply he sent back was very proper: Ah? I dont have that either.
Ji Liao continued typing, wanting to add on to his reply, I like girls. But He Cheng Ming was one step ahead and sent: Then may I pursue you?
Ji Liaos hands suddenly stopped typing. His eyes widened at these words and read them over and over to ensure that he didnt read them wrongly. His heart was jumping and it wasnt because he was touched, but because he was too flustered!
Firstly, the person who had said he wanted to pursue him, was a guy! Secondly, this guy was He Cheng Ming!
Ji Liao was dumbfounded. How could this be...
All along, he felt that his looks were average, his grades were normal and he was timid...how could someone like him attract He Cheng Mings attention? Thinking about it, Ji Liaos face gradually became hot and his mouth was dry. For a while, he was in a panic and didnt know what to do...
Picking up his ss, he took two big gulps of water, then heard the phone notification.
He Cheng Ming: If you dont say anything, Ill take it that you agree. !!! How could Ji Liao dare to agree? He hurriedly replied: Sorry, I like girls!
After the message was sent, Ji Liao stared at the screen as the other party was in the midst of typing. He was extremely nervous as he swallowed his saliva and counted the time. Thirty seconds had passed and the other party was still typing!!!
He felt like his heart was about to explode! His heart was in a mess. Thinking about it, would He Cheng Ming fly into a rage out of humiliation, then send someone to beat him up tomorrow? If he was really beaten up, how could he exin this matter to his mother? He was innocent and yet, he would have to pay for his medical bills. Would his ssmates look down on him?
The more he thought about it, the more apprehensive he became. The other party was still typing and had not replied yet. Ji Liao was so frightened that he retracted the message and re-typed: Regarding that...can I think it over?
He was someone who was afraid of getting into trouble and only wanted to continue school in aw-abiding manner, so he was very afraid of offending He Cheng Ming.
This time, the reply came very quickly: Okay.
Followed by another message: Ill be good to you. Sleep early. Goodnight.
Ji Liao felt that this okay had another meaning! After ensuring that there were no more messages being sent, he hugged his phone andy paralyzed on his bed, feeling as if his whole body was hollow.
Chapter 2 - See That, He’s My Man
Chapter 2 - See That, Hes My Man
Early the next day, Ji Liao appeared in the living room, rubbing his sleepy eyes. There was a light bluish-ck below his eyes, as if he had not gotten enough sleep.
Xu Ai Wen carried hot millet porridge from the kitchen. Seeing his listless appearance, she asked, concerned, Whats wrong, Tang Tang? Didnt sleep wellst night?
Tang Tang was Ji Liaos nickname. Before he was born, Father Ji thought that he would be a girl, so he chose the nickname, Tang Tang. Later on after birth, it was discovered that the baby had a handle. But after using Tang Tang for half a year, it was difficult to change it and they continued using it until now.
Yeah. I couldnt sleep. Ji Liao lowered his head and avoided his mothers concerned eyes. Last night, he had been indirectly confessed to by a guy and that guy was someone at the level of a big shot. Of course he couldnt sleep!
Pulling out a chair, Ji Liao obediently sat down for breakfast and swallowed each mouthful slowly. When Xu Ai Wen had finished eating and washing the dishes, she came out and saw Ji Liao still sitting at the dining table. She reminded him, Tang Tang, if you dont leave for school now, youre going to bete.
At this, Ji Liao left the dining table, carried his school bag and left.
He was a little afraid of seeing He Cheng Ming in school. Did he need to greet him when they met? Would he do something weird? Thinking of it, he became extremely nervous.
Ji Liao stepped onto the bus, swiped his bus card and moved towards the back of the vehicle. But before he even took two steps forward, he saw He Cheng Ming sitting right at the back!!! He was so frightened, he hurriedly retreated backwards, but after a few steps, he remembered that he was on a bus...
The passengers beside him looked at him oddly.
Ji Liao smiled awkwardly, then found a handrail and stood there instead.
His phone notification sounded.
Ji Liao fished it out and looked. It was a message from He Cheng Ming: Theres a seat beside me. Come over and sit.
Ji Liao: &#k2026;
Of course he knew there was a seat, but he didnt want to go over!
With a sullen expression, Ji Liao put his phone away, summoned his courage, and headed towards the back of the bus. WIth his head lowered, he walked until he was in front of He Cheng Ming, not daring to lift his eyes to look at him.
He heard the youths clear and straightforward voice. Why dont you look at me? Shy? His tone was full ofughter.
Ji Liao was pricked by the word shy and quickly lifted his head with an expression as if he was about to die with his head held high. Their gazes met and locked onto each others dark eyes. Frightened, he quickly shifted his gaze, his face full of embarrassment.
Why are you standing? Sit down. Need me to pull you? He Cheng Ming looked at his slightly flushed face and his heart felt as if it was covered with honey. He couldnt hide the smile on his lips, revealing a row of bright white teeth.
He thought to himself, finally didnte for nothing.
When Ji Liao heard this, he sat down immediately.
Feeling ill at ease, his heart was beating very fast. He felt that He Cheng Ming was probably crazy.
He had taken this bus for over a year and had never seen He Cheng Ming on it even once. But seeing him today with his attention focused on him, did he really want to pursue him? But he was a guy!
Ji Liao didnt discriminate against gays, but he had never considered the thought of bing gay. Even if he became bent one of these days, his partner shouldnt be fierce and hot-tempered like He Cheng Ming.
Er...although it looked quite normal now, Ji Liao knew that this wasnt He Cheng Mings original appearance!
Have you thought aboutst nights matter? The youth leaned leisurely against the back of his seat and looked at him sideways.
The early morning sunlight shone through the window and onto half of Ji Liaos face, making his skin look smooth and delicate. A shadow swept down from his eyshes, which were trembling slightly.
Fuck, He Cheng Ming was a little dazed. His throat itched strangely and he nearly kissed him.
If I reject you, will you get people to beat me up? Ji Liao finally asked in a small voice after struggling internally for a while.
But at that moment, He Cheng Ming wasnt listening to him. His mind was full of demons. Even eyshes could cause his blood to boil and heart to surge.
Hurriedly retracting his gaze, He Cheng Ming swallowed and suppressed his restless, brutish nature before recovering.
What did you just say? His voice had been too soft and so he didnt hear it clearly.
Ji Liao thought that he was unhappy and he suddenly panicked. He was done for! He had offended the school bully!
Right then, the bus prompted that it had arrived at their stop. Ji Liao took a step and wanted to run but the youth behind him held him by the cor.
Why are you running? With that, he pulled him into his arms. Ji Liao was 178cm and He Cheng Ming was 187cm. His head rested nicely against his shoulders. Someone was perfectly contented and with a brotherly embrace, led him off the bus.
Ji Liao was sullen. Although his whole body was resisting, he dared not speak out. Once he arrived at school, he would be in the other partys turf. He felt sure that he was going to die!
The bus stop was less than 100m away from the school gate, so the surroundings were filled with students. He Cheng Ming had his arm around Ji Liao and was very pleased with himself. Suddenly, he heard someone shout behind him, Ming Ge!
Turning his head for a look, he saw that it was one of his mates, Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang was a rich second-generation, butpared to the real big shot background of He Cheng Ming, he paled in significance. He respected He Cheng Ming and felt that He Cheng Ming was rich and colourful. Overall, he was simply awesome ? hanging around with them every day but still able toe in first for every examination. So he took the initiative to be He Cheng Mings follower, treating He Cheng Ming as the leader.
Ming Ge, who is this?
Lin Jiang had been following He Cheng Ming since junior high. Besides other simr big shot types of people, he had never seen He Cheng Ming with his arms around anyone elses shoulder, so he was very curious about Ji Liao.
Oh, him. The youths eyes were filled with a joyful light and the corner of his lips lifted. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a hand give his waist a light pinch. Lowering his head, he saw Ji Liaos clear and delicate eyes imploring him with a scared look. His heart softened and wished that he could hold andfort him.
If not for Lin Jiangs irksome presence in front of him, he would have been coaxing Ji Liao. Hence, his tone had some unhappiness in it. ss Twelves Ji Liao. Why? Is there a problem?
He red fiercely at Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang touched his head, not understanding how he had provoked this big brother. He was clearly fine just a while ago.
Im going to bete for ss. Ill go first. Ji Liao used this chance to escape from He Cheng Ming and ran away quickly.
He Cheng Ming let out a hey and smiled helplessly. He felt that Ji Liao was really shy, but very adorable, so his mood also undted ordingly. He pointed towards the thin figure of Ji Liao and warned Lin Jiang, Did you see? Hes my man. Give him some protection.
Chapter 3 - Baby, Want to Eat Together at Noon?
Chapter 3 - Baby, Want to Eat Together at Noon?
During the two math lessons in the morning, Ji Liao didnt absorb even the tiniest bit of information.
Firstly, it was because he didnt have an interest in math. Secondly, He Cheng Ming had sent him another WeChat message: Baby, want to eat together at noon?
Ji Liao had been shocked at the word baby, which had also caused his face to whiten; his psychological defense was in aplete mess.
How should he feel being called baby by a guy?
Ji Liao only felt that the entire world was an illusion...
At break time, Ji Liao followed the masses to the sports field. His good friend Yu Jin ran up from behind, held his shoulder and asked, It seems like you were a little off today, distracted throughout the entire lesson. Whats going on?
With that, he looked craftily at Ji Liao. Dont tell me that you rubbed one off too many timesst night and your body is hollowed out?
Ji Liao had grown up with Yu Jin since young, so had long be immune to his filthynguage. He silently gave him a look and paid him no heed.
Hey, you have no sense of humour. Yu Jin curled his lips and feeling disinterested, retracted his arm from Ji Liaos shoulder. At the same time, hemented, Ji Liao, let me tell you, if youre like this, you wont be able to find a girlfriend in the future!
Ji Liao gave a hum, then retorted, You said it as if you could find one yourself. The two of them were perpetually single.
But after hearing what Yu Jin had said, Ji Liaos brain automatically reyed back to He Cheng Mings WeChat message fromst night: Then may I pursue you?
His imagination even included He Cheng Mings voice, using his tone from this morning. It was strangely a little provocative. What was happening&#k2026;?
Ji Liao was shocked by his fantasy and quickly shook his head.
During the break, the two of them went to the cafeteria to buy bread and snacks as usual. A growing seventeen or eighteen year old youth would naturally get hungry quickly.
At this time, the cafeteria was packed with people and Yu Jin pulled Ji Liao to a less crowded ce to queue up.
The crowd suddenly stirred and automatically parted, forming a pathway. At the end of the pathway was He Cheng Ming with both hands in his pockets, enjoying the privilege with an expressionless face. Behind him, Lin Jiang asked him, Ming Ge, what would you like to drink? Meaning that he would buy.
He Cheng Ming was about to answer when he spotted Ji Liao waiting obediently amongst the crowd. His eyes lit up and his originally gloomy mood cleared in a sh. Even his face became somewhat more rxed.
Ming Ge? Lin Jiang called out again.
What drink? Dont you see everyone queuing up? He Cheng Ming berated him with a frown as if the person who had just strutted in wasnt him.
Lin Jiang: ...
What did he do wrong again?
Seeing He Cheng Ming heading in his direction, Ji Liao turned his head away immediately, pretending as if he hadnt seen him. He silently mouthed: Not looking for me. Not looking for me...
Ji Liao. The smiling voice sounded behind him. Ji Liao scowled, not understanding how two people, who had previously bumped into each other so few times over more than a year, could meet so frequently now!
In response, the male student behind Ji Liao nced at He Cheng Ming and made space for him, conveniently allowing him to cut in line.
Why didnt you reply to my message? He Cheng Ming stood behind Ji Liao and naturally put a hand over his shoulder.
In an instant, Ji Liao sensed a difference. The act of putting a hand on the shoulder was the same, but while Yu Jins action felt frank and open, the indescribable hint of wanting to take advantage of him came with this person.
Ji Liao struggled a little but didnt break free...
I havent seen it. He replied moodily.
He Cheng Mingughed softly and the sound tickled Ji Liaos ear.
The person behind him bent over and said softly into his ear, Then do you want me to say it to you directly?
Ji Liao turned pale with fright and felt that He Cheng Ming would really call him baby. Not knowing if it was from fear or shyness, the tips of his ears turned red and he hurriedly said, Dont. Dont. Dont. Ill go back and look at it myself.
Satisfied, He Cheng Ming lifted his hand and touched his head. Okay. Remember to look.
Yu Jin, who was at the side, had a bitter expression on his face while staring at the two of them. When did Ji Liao have such a good rtionship with He Cheng Ming? No, when did they get to know each other? As Ji Liaos best friend, it was unexpected that he didnt know about it!
After quickly buying bread, Ji Liao kept his head lowered and headed back. He wasnt sure if it was his misconception, but why did it feel like the whole cafeteria was looking at him? Earlier, were his and He Cheng Mings actions very strange? Had it been noticed by someone?
Ji Liaos heart was troubled. Walking to the cafeterias entrance, he saw a few male students surrounding a table for a card game. One of the students chin was propped on anothers shoulder. The position was closer than he and He Cheng Ming had been. But the people surrounding them didnt seem to mind their actions.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Withdrawing his gaze, he saw Yu Jin standing in front of him with a fierce look. Tell me! When did you hook up with that big shot?!
Chapter 4 - I Didnt Think That You Would Wait for Me
Chapter 4 - I Didnt Think That You Would Wait for Me
Ji Liao bit his lip in silence, looking like he was ufortable to speak.
He wasnt deliberately hiding the truth from Yu Jin ? he just didnt know how to say it. The situation seemed so preposterous that he himself hadnt entirely epted it.
Yu Jin saw his embarrassment and did not pursue the matter any further. He knew that although Ji Liao looked a little cowardly, he was actually very stubborn. It was useless to interrogate him about something he didnt want to talk about. Forget it. Anyway, its not disadvantageous for you to be friends with He Cheng Ming!
Its fine as long as you dont suffer, Yu Jin thought.
Ji Liao hummed and nodded. To express his gratitude, he shared half of the sausage from his bread with him.
Yu Jin was ttered and epted it without further thought.
At noon, Ji Liao quickly tidied his desk and moved with the after-school crowd to go and hide in the library. His phone had been left in the drawer of his ssroom desk and not brought with him. He had done this on purpose as he didnt want to see another message from He Cheng Ming and didnt want to ept his invitation to eat with him.
He used this as a silent rebellion, hoping that the other party would understand his intentions, and be merciful in letting him go.
While doing his homework, two hours passed quickly. Ji Liao left the library as he hadnt eaten lunch and his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He turned towards the cafeteria, bought two pieces of bread and ate it on the way back to ss.
When he climbed up the stairs, he was startled by what he saw in the corridor.
At the entrance of ss Twelve, a tall and powerful youth was leaning against the white wall. The loose school uniform could not conceal his broad shoulders. One long leg was straightened while the other was slightly bent, indicating a waiting posture.
Ji Liao did not dare to think about it. Had he been waiting here for him?
As if in response, the youth turned his head and met Ji Liaos eyes.
At his expression, Ji Liaos heart throbbed. Perhaps He Cheng Mings eyes were too clear, but he easily read his loss and sadness, like a loyal dog that had been abandoned by its owner.
Ji Liao averted his eyes. He felt a little scared but also a bit regretful. It seemed like he had really hurt him&#k2026;
He Cheng Ming looked at the person in front of him and his eyes fell upon the bread in his hands for two seconds. Only then did he give up and turn to leave.
At that moment, Ji Liao realised He Cheng Ming had been carrying some takeout. There was a trash can in a corner of the corridor. When He Cheng Ming passed by it, he threw the cold takeout away. He didnt want anything that Ji Liao didnt want.
Back in his own ss, He Cheng Ming flew into a rage and kicked over his chair.
Ji Liao was stunned for some time, then recovered and checked his phone. There were four messages sent by He Cheng Ming at noon.
Baby, where are you?
Quickly reply to me. Once the takeout is cold, it wouldnt be nice to eat.
You dont want to eat with me?
Ill wait for you.
After reading through all the message, Ji Liaos mood became gloomier.
He really didnt think that He Cheng Ming would wait for him at noon.
Originally, they had not interacted at all. Then, out of nowhere he had said that he wanted to pursue him. If it was anyone else, would they have epted it immediately?
Distressed, Ji Liao slumped on his desk and used a book to cover his face.
His mind was filled with images of He Cheng Mings sad departure. He was obviously a proud person but was willing to reveal the soft and hurt side of him.
It seemed like his own heart was softening.
Ji Liao.
Suddenly being called for attendance, Ji Liao hurriedly lifted his head and looked at the teacher who was staring at him with a frown.
He immediately sat upright to pay attention and emptied his mind, not daring to think about it further, to the extent that the slight softening of his heart had disappeared.
Ji Liao only recalled the unresolved matter when he was lying on his bed after his shower that night.
He picked up his phone and opened He Cheng Mings WeChat page. Thest message was Ill wait for you at 12:43 pm.
He was hesitating as he typed and deleted, alwayscking the courage to send the message. Ji Liao felt extremely fretful and rolled around, hugging his pillow.
On the other end, He Cheng Ming was also staring at his phone, motionless. He had already been staring at the screen for nearly half an hour but there were still no signs of activity. Finally, he lost his cool and sent over two words: Ji Liao.
Two words he had written before countless times.
Ji Liao was frightened at first, then surprised and immediately replied: I thought you were angry.
Followed by: Sorry, I didnt expect you to wait for me.
After that, he didnt have anything else to say.
He Cheng Ming stared at the screen of his phone. He knew that Ji Liao didnt like him ? he had said that he liked girls, although he didnt know the reason he retracted that message, he was still happy. When he had said that he would consider it instead, he treated it as a ray of hope.
He thought he had a chance, but he didnt expect it to be so out of reach.
Putting the phone down, he leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes and thought back to the summer of that year.
It had been very sunny and the sky was blue. The sound of construction drilled into his ears. He was sitting in the car, ncing around when he saw Ji Liao for the first time.
He was lying on a broad stone pir with his clothes rolled up, revealing a clean and slim waist. Further down were his prominent hip bone and slightly protruding bottom, then his slender legs. He had worn shorts, making his legs appear very long and white.
Subconsciously, he swallowed his saliva.
He had thought it was a girl until the person had shouted, Dad!
It was a crisp and youthful voice.
Chapter 5 - Nearly Teased until His Legs Weakened
Chapter 5 - Nearly Teased until His Legs Weakened
Ji Liao seeded in losing sleep that night again because He Cheng Ming didnt reply to his WeChat message!
Throughout the night, his mind was filled with the consequences of offending the school bully. He felt very afraid at the thought of being harassed by various bad ssmates, or even being dragged to an alley to get beaten up.
After breakfast, Ji Liao left the house shivering.
When he walked to the bus stop, he saw the tall and conspicuous youth at a nce. He was half-carrying his school bag and leaning indifferently against the bus stop with earphones in his ears, listening to music.
Ji Liaos heart jumped. He didnt expect He Cheng Ming to stille today. After all, he was so angry yesterday that he didnt reply to his message!
Ji Liao walked over and stood beside him, yet the person was deep in thought and failed to notice him.
Slightly embarrassed, he kicked a pebble over. The pebble hit He Cheng Mings shoe, spun around and stopped.
Only then did he withdraw from his emotional state and saw Ji Liao. In a sh, his originally indifferent face revealed a smile.
Ji Liao couldnt help but be dazed. Even as a guy, he felt that He Cheng Ming was very handsome. Althoughpared with his exquisite facial features, his unrestrained temperament seemed to be more noticeable. Moreover, when a person with such a temperamentughed, it was simply criminal. He even felt like the other party was trying to seduce him.
He Cheng Ming did not perceive Ji Liaos envious gaze as he only regarded the redness in his eyes. He knew it was the result ofcking sleep. Feeling his heart ache, he asked, Didnt sleep wellst night?
Ji Liao didnt want to tell him that he had insomnia, so he changed the topic instead. I thought you wouldnte today.
He Cheng Ming failed to understand. Eh? Why?
Because you didnt reply to my WeChatst night. I thought you were angry. His voice was gloomy.
He Cheng Ming suddenly felt ted. Bending over until his face was right in front of Ji Liao, he reassured, I will never get angry at you.
His voice was clear and maic. Ji Liaos heart throbbed. He felt that if he was a girl, he would probably surrender right then.
...Well, were not familiar with each other and have never interacted. How on earth did youe to...like me? Ji Liaos voice became smaller as he spoke but blinked expectantly while waiting for an answer.
A glint of fascination shed within He Cheng Mings eyes, but his face quickly changed to a smiling one. Deliberately keeping him in suspense, he said, If you agree, Ill tell you.
Ji Liao was confused. Agree on what?
He Cheng Ming smirked at him. What do you think?
Ji Liao seemed to have thought of it as his face flushed red.
The effect of saying it in person was more lethal than saying it through WeChat. Ji Liao, who was quickly flustered, saw the bus approach in front of them and ran to it in a panic. He Cheng Ming smiled indulgently and held his hand in time. Its the one behind, fool.
Ji Liao: ...
He felt like he would die of shame on the spot.
Because he was too humiliated, he hadnt realised He Cheng Ming holding his hand until they got onto the bus. Two girls pointed at them and eximed excitedly, Hey look! Its a couple!
Ji Liao reacted and pulled his hand away in shock, as his innocent face expressed regret and shyness.
This look made He Cheng Mings heart unbearably itchy and he couldnt resist flirting with him in a low voice, What are you afraid of? Sooner orter, we will hold hands, hug, kiss, make love...
The voice beside his ear was charming as well as hoarse and thest two words made Ji Liao tremble all over.
During their conversation, the bus gradually filled with people. He Cheng Ming silently encircled Ji Liao into his arms, using his body as a strong barricade. So when Ji Liao couldnt endure his lewd words and wanted to escape, he discovered that...he couldnt escape???
With a flushed face, he red at He Cheng Ming. Right then, He Cheng Ming realised that his little cutie was really thin-skinned. With only a little provocation, he became so bashful that his ears and neck turned red.
Okay, I wont say anything else. Dont move. Heughed to pacify him.
Ji Liao was still sulking! In his heart, he felt that this person was shameless, but he was even more annoyed at his ownck of self-control, having been nearly teased until his legs weakened!!
Chapter 6 - Dont Make That Expression in Front of Me
Chapter 6 - Dont Make That Expression in Front of Me
The driver braked violently, causing the passengers to fly forward from the inertia. Ji Liao wasnt in time to hold onto the handle and fell into He Cheng Mings arms.
He heard a muffled groan above his head. When the bus stopped, he quickly righted himself. After all, it was the weight of a fully grown male student and he wasnt sure if He Cheng Ming had gotten injured.
Ji Liao had just stabilised himself when voices ofints and bacsh filled the bus. He turned to nce at He Cheng Ming and saw him pluck an earphone from his ear, then stuffed it into his own ear.
Thementing immediately disappeared, reced with soothing music.
Ji Liaos heart skipped a beat.
When they reached the bus stop, the two of them alighted. Ji Liao kept thinking of earlier when he had bumped into He Cheng Ming and asked, Were you injured?
He Cheng Ming had both hands stuffed inside his pockets, and while wiggling his eyebrows, he asked, What happens if Im injured?
Ji Liao choked up and didnt respond for a while.
Seeing his stupefied expression, He Cheng Mings heart softened until it was aplete mess. He said earnestly, Never mind.
As he said this, Ji Liao felt that something wasnt right. He took the other boys hand out of his pocket. The knuckles on his right hand had thin red streaks of blood and the outeryer of skin was torn. The wound spread across four fingers.
This probably happened when He Cheng Ming had forcefully tugged at the handle to support himself.
Ji Liao felt pained just looking at it as otherplex feelings started forming in his heart.
He Cheng Ming saw Ji Liaos misery written across his face, and he withdrew his hand. He bent over and whispered into his ear, Dont make that expression in front of me. I wouldnt be able to help myself...
With a delighted smile, he strode towards the school.
The heat that had just dissipated from Ji Liaos face returned due to He Cheng Mings words. Looking at the tall and upright figure in front of him, he couldnt help but wonder if this person was really the cranky and domineering school bully.
...
After his morning lessons were over, Ji Liao was still uneasy and ran to the clinic for a bottle of iodine and bandages.
He hovered at the entrance of ss Two for some time, not daring to utter a word.
Lin Jiang came back from the toilet and saw Ji Liao standing by the entrance with his head stuck in, looking around. He couldnt help but ask, Are you looking for Ming Ge?
Thest time he saw Ji Liao and He Cheng Ming together, they had seemed quite close. He had thought that Ji Liao was a low-profile young master of a rich family. But after investigating, it was discovered that he was just an ordinary person who wasnt from a rich family or background. His results in school were also average.
But since he was He Cheng Mings friend, he was also Lin Jiangs friend.
Ming Ge is most probably sleeping. Want me to call him for you? As he said this, Lin Jiang headed towards the ssroom, preparing to shout. Ji Liao hurried to stop him upon seeing this. Theres no need. Its nothing much. Just help me hand this over to him. He injured his hand. He gave the iodine and bandages to Lin Jiang.
Ming Ge injured? It couldnt be. He fought with somebody and lost? Lin Jiang had an incredulous expression on his face.
After all, in his heart, He Cheng Ming was the best fighter in the world.
Eh...it wasnt a fight. Ji Liao reluctantly exined, He was shed by a handle on the bus.
Huh? Lin Jiang was even more confused. Ming Ge took public transport? Are you kidding? He really hates to be in crowds of people. Besides, he has a chauffeur. Why would he take public transport?
Ji Liao stared nkly. Did he hate to be crowded with people?
Now that he thought about it, when it was the busiest, he would seem really unhappy and displeased.
I dont know. Im going back. Ji Liao threw out those words, then ran off. He felt as if something had sprouted in his heart and it began to grow crazily.
Chapter 7 - 3-Second Voice Message — I Beg You
Chapter 7 - 3-Second Voice Message I Beg You
He Cheng Ming slept thoroughly until noon. When he woke, his body felt rxed and his exhaustion vanished.
He lifted his head and checked the time: 12:27 pm. While preparing to leave, he discovered a bottle of iodine and bandages on his table.
No one in ss Two dared to leave anything on his table, unless...
He Cheng Ming looked at his scratched fingers and a smile emerged on his lips. He fished out his phone and sent Ji Liao a WeChat message: Did you send something over earlier?
On the other end, Ji Liao quickly replied: Yes.
Although it was only one word, He Cheng Ming was ted. He couldnt help but give his fingers a kiss, feeling that this little injury was really worthwhile.
When his mood improved, he couldnt control his mouth. Walking out of the ssroom, he asked Ji Liao, Baby, where are you? Miss you already.
He said it directly through a voice message. A girl passing by him heard this and looked at He Cheng Ming in shock, then fled quickly.
At that moment, Ji Liao, who was eating in the cafeteria, saw the other party had sent a 3-second voice message. He adjusted down the volume of his phone and hit y, putting it near his ear.
The low and husky voice of the youth rushed towards his eardrum. After the message ended, Ji Liaos entire body was heated. His mind kept ying baby and miss you already on a loop, and his heart was beating so quickly, it felt as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
He quickly put down the phone and touched his face which was too hot. It took a long time for him to recover.
The screen of his phone lit up again. Ji Liao lowered his head and saw another 3-second voice message.
He swallowed with difficulty and hesitated, deciding whether or not to listen to it. He Cheng Mings voice was so provocative, he felt that if he listened to it again, he might be bent&#k2026;
But in the next second, his hand obediently hit y: Baby, I beg you. Tell me where you are, okay?
This time, his voice was even more tender than thest, even carrying with it a hint of seduction.
Ji Liao was stunned and he froze.
He couldnt imagine what kind of expression the other party had while saying something like this. He was even begging him?
Ji Liao broke down. How could He Cheng Ming do this?! Did he still remember that he was a school bully?!
Where was the arrogance and dominance? What about being hot-tempered and unruly?
Even if there was none of that, why was he being so tender?!
Ji Liaos little heart could no longer take it and he quickly escaped from the cafeteria, covering his chest.
He was in urgent need of fresh air.
When He Cheng Ming didnt receive any WeChat notification, he started searching blindly.
Besides, it was just a few ces. If Ji Liao wasnt in the ssroom block or the cafeteria, he would check the sports field and eventually catch up with him.
As expected, on the bench at the edge of the sports field, he saw Ji Liao.
Ji Liao was sitting perfectly straight, immersed in his thoughts. The evergreen trees beside him shielded him from most of the sunlight, casting mottled shadows on his face that emphasized his vividness and cuteness.
He Cheng Ming strode over and stood in front of him.
Ji Liao had sensed someone approaching. But the moment he lifted his head, He Cheng Ming bent down and kissed him on the lips.
The kiss was like a dragonfly touching the water, and Ji Liao was caught off guard by it.
Ji Liaos eyes widened, looking in disbelief at the person in front of him. When he finally reacted, he pushed He Cheng Ming aside and blurted out, Are you crazy?! What if someone saw us?!
Ji Liao was flustered. After he said that, he realised unexpectedly that what he minded the most was not having been kissed but having been seen.
He Cheng Ming was also panicking slightly not that he was afraid of witnesses but rather he was afraid that his actions had angered Ji Liao and would result in avoidance after this. Like a child who had done something wrong, he looked regretful. Lowering his head, he confessed, Sorry, you were so cute. I couldnt help it.
Ji Liao: ... So, it was his fault?
Dont be angry. I beg... Before He Cheng Ming could finish his pleading, he was interrupted by Ji Liao.
Dont say it.
He didnt want to hear the words, such as, I beg you...
It was way too provocative...

Chapter 8 - He Cheng Ming Is Dating
Chapter 8 - He Cheng Ming Is Dating
Ji Liao sprinted all the way to ss.
It was too frightening. He had nearly been bent by He Cheng Ming!
Just as his bottom reached his seat and before he could catch his breath, the girl sitting at the desk behind him tapped him on the shoulder. Ji Liao turned his head around and the girl passed him a bottle of water.
Ji Liao stared nkly for a moment and without rejecting it, said, Thank you.
He wasnt outgoing, so he had only decent rtionships with his ssmates and it was even worse with his female ssmates. Suddenly experiencing the good intentions of a girl, he felt a little shy.
The girl was called Xu Xiao Jing. From his impression, she was lively, cheerful and talkative.
Youre wee. Xu Xiao Jing looked at him and blinked. She waited until Ji Liao drank some water and seemed more rxed before leaning in closer to ask, Ji Liao, are you very close to He Cheng Ming from ss Two?
Ji Liaos heart thudded as his first reaction was to think, Did someone see He Cheng Ming kiss me?!! He suddenly felt flustered. But how could it be? He had clearly looked around earlier and there was nobody else in the area...
Why do you ask? He looked carefully at Xu Xiao Jing.
Xu Xiao Jing replied bluntly, Because I saw!
Ji Liao was so shocked that he stood up, You saw?
Xu Xiao Jing was slightly confused, unsure of the reason for his nervousness. Was it something that must not be seen?
I saw it twice, she replied. Once at the school gate and once in the cafeteria. He Cheng Ming had his arm around your shoulder like he was on very good terms with you. Hes rarely close to anybody, so the two of you must have a deep friendship, right?! When Xu Xiao Jing spoke, her eyes were shining!
Upon hearing this, Ji Liao heaved a sigh of relief and took another drink of water to get over his shock.
That was such a scare.
There really isnt any good rtionship between us. Just that recently, theres been...a bit of contact. He avoided her fervent eyes and replied with a guilty conscience.
When Xu Xiao Jing managed to get relevant information at once, she questioned further, Contact? You have his WeChat contact?!
Ji Liao nodded.
Xu Xiao Jings eyes widened, as if she had just found out some big secret. She was very surprised but tried to control it. And you said you didnt have a good rtionship with him! Do you know how many people in our school have He Cheng Mings WeChat contact?! Definitely not more than ten! She vowed solemnly.
Ji Liao said, Oh, then thought to himself, there arent more than ten people in this school who have my WeChat contact either.
Xu Xiao Jing suddenly looked at Ji Liao with anticipation. She lowered her voice and said furtively, Then do you know who He Cheng Ming is dating? Is it someone from our school?
Ji Liao paused. Hes not dating...
Because he didnt agree to it...
Xu Xiao Jing sighed in disappointment, slumping onto her desk. As expected, Ji Liao wasnt close enough to He Cheng Ming. Otherwise, why wouldnt he have told him?
Ji Liao saw that she didnt believe him and repeated, Hes really not dating...
Xu Xiao Jing lifted her head and crooked a finger at Ji Liao. He moved closer to her and heard her say, My friend overheard He Cheng Ming sending a WeChat voice message to his girlfriend! He called her baby, even said he missed her, and wanted her to wash up and wait for him!
Ji Liaos expression went nk: ...
The first two parts of the sentence were correct, but what the hell was thest part about washing up?
There was no such thing!
Or did He Cheng Ming send that part to someone else instead?
With that thought in mind, Ji Liao pouted, slightly unhappy.
His phone sounded.
He fished it out to take a look. It was a message from He Cheng Ming: Baby, wash up and wait for me.
Ji Liao: ...
Following that, there was another message: Making the rumour true.
The corner of Ji Liaos lips pursed, revealing a hint of a smile.
Chapter 9 - How the Fuck Was He Supposed to Answer
Chapter 9 - How the Fuck Was He Supposed to Answer
After a day and night of fermenting, the whole school knew that He Cheng Ming was dating.
In the corridors, ssrooms, cafeteria, and everywhere else, people were discussing the identity of the goddess who had pulled the irritable big Buddha off the altar, causing him to withdraw from his antisocial behaviour, and changing him into a gentle, coquettish, loyal dog.
Aside from the two people involved, no one else knew.
When Lin Jiang heard about this, he was also shocked! He had always regarded He Cheng Ming as a big brother. And yet he didnt even know who his sister-inw was now that his big brother was dating. Thinking about it was a bit of a pain in the balls.
But He Cheng Ming didnt tell him and he was embarrassed to ask. Instead, he turned to the schools web forum to search for the answer, reading through several popr articles about the school bully and pure school beauty queen, and the big-breasted beauty conquering the irritable big-shot, written as if that was really how it was.
Lin Jiang sent the two articles to He Cheng Ming, wanting to sound him out.
He Cheng Ming bent his head for a look, then cklisted Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang: ...
He threw an I-was-wrong expression towards He Cheng Ming, but only saw the profile of his face looking gloomily out of the window at the basketball court.
Lin Jiang was puzzled. What was there to look at in the basketball court?!
He raised his head to look and saw that there was a ss having their P.E. lesson.
Lin Jiang couldnt see clearly though. Turning back, he realised that the teacher was staring at him and he scolded himself for his bad luck.
Meanwhile, He Cheng Ming observed Ji Liao ying basketball. Ji Liao wore a white sweater that just about covered the waistband of his pants. But when he raised his arms high with every shot, his clothes would lift, revealing his t lower abdomen. He Cheng Ming was so dazzled by that white expanse that his eyes became red from not blinking.
He watched for Ji Liaos entire lesson and until his figure disappeared from the basketball court. He then fished out his phone and sent a message: Baby, your shirt is too short. Your slim waist nearly made me hard.
After that, he silently got up and went to the toilet.
Because he really was hard...
By the time it was night, Ji Liao had not replied to his message. He Cheng Ming was a little upset. Hey on his bed, unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, images of Ji Liao, from when he was 14 to 17, appeared and filled his mind.
For three years, he had noticed him, but Ji Liao had never discovered his gaze.
Maybe he was too worn out, but at that moment, he suddenly didnt want to endure any longer. He wanted to get close to him, to tell him, hug him, and kiss him. He wanted to give everything he had to Ji Liao, as long as he wanted it as long as he was willing.
He Cheng Ming opened his eyes, got up and picked up his phone. He dialed the number he knew by heart.
The call was quickly epted and the clear voice of the youth was transmitted. Hello?
He Cheng Ming squeezed his phone tightly and said in a low voice, Its me.
It was only two words, but Ji Liao recognised his voice and was slightly flustered. It was their first phone call and the atmosphere was delicate.
Oh, Ji Liao replied, then asked, Is anything the matter?
Yes, He Cheng Ming replied bluntly and without thinking, I keep thinking of you and cant sleep.
He finished with augh, then asked Ji Liao, What do I do?
Ji Liaos face turned red. How would he know what to do?
You can send me a message if theres anything. Im hanging up.
You dont reply to my messages. He Cheng Mingined immediately.
Ji Liao really wanted to cry. How should he reply to those types of messages?
Baby, wash up and wait for me.
Okay?
Baby, your shirt is too short. Your slim waist nearly made me hard.
How hard?
How the fuck was he supposed to answer?! Ji Liao almost wanted to flip his table over.
Of course, he didnt dare to reply that way to He Cheng Ming he was a coward.
Chapter 10 - Heart Softened into a Complete Mess
Chapter 10 - Heart Softened into a Complete Mess
Then send me proper messages. Youre always sending me those types of things... Ji Liao grumbled lightly and got up to lean against the desk. His eyes swept over the test topic on the table and reached out to close the book, not wanting to his studies.
But what Ive said are all true. He Cheng Ming said shamelessly. With regard to Ji Liao, He Cheng Ming always feared that he couldnt feel his heartfelt intentions or that Ji Liao would instinctively avoid it, so his words and actions were always frank. It was all to let Ji Liao know that he really liked him.
You... Ji Liao felt so stifled, he didnt know what to say. He was a little sullen as he murmured, Forget it...so be it.
He Cheng Ming heard his unhappiness. He thought that Ji Liao still didnt like him, so he ignored all of his messages. His eyes darkened and he was silent for a long time, before answering with a low hum.
Ji Liaos chest filled indescribably with slight annoyance. What was that hum for?!
Two knocks sounded at his door. Ji Liao looked over, and seeing his mother bringing him a ss of milk, he panicked and reflexively hung up on He Cheng Ming.
Who were you talking to? Xu Ai Wen came over and put the milk on the desk.
Ji Liao took a sip and said vaguely, Someone from school.
Thats good. Make more friends. Xu Ai Wen looked at her son. He was tall and grown up, and his eyebrows were delicate. Butpared to Ji Qing Wen, their son resembled her more.
Since the unexpected death of Ji Qing Wen three years ago, Ji Liao had be reserved and depressed. Besides that boy from the Yu family, he didnt really have any friends. This was the first friend to call him, so their rtionship couldnt be typical.
From your ss? Xu Ai Wen probed.
When Ji Qing Wen was still around, Ji Liao was a little chatterbox. Whether it was something small or big, good or bad, he would tell Ji Qing Wen. The rtionship between father and son had been especially good. After Ji Qing Wen was no longer around, Ji Liao had grieved for a long time. Later on, it gradually eased, but he was not as lively and cheerful as before.
When Xu Ai Wen would see this, her heart would ache. She had tried tomunicate with Ji Liao but realised that she couldnt. Ji Liao was unable to open up to herpletely.
Not from my ss. Ji Liao looked down. He knew that his mother was concerned about him, but He Cheng Ming...really wasnt a good topic.
Hes from ss Two. We have only known each other...for a short time. He tried to give a slight exnation.
Xu Ai Wen was very happy that he had contributed an additional sentence and didnt question him further. She urged Ji Liao to drink the milk then go to sleep as she suspected that Ji Liao had not been sleeping well recently, and was always tossing and turning.
Okay, I will. Ji Liao replied obediently.
After Xu Ai Wen left, Ji Liao picked up his phone and checked his WeChat. There were no new messages.
He considered exining the reason for hanging up the phone, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Anyway, it wasnt important.
Quickly finishing the milk, Ji Liao went to bed and fell asleep. His phone was ced beside his pillow and remained silent for the entire night.
The next day, He Cheng Ming appeared at the bus stop as usual.
Ji Liao saw him and walked over. He thought back to Lin Jiang had said about He Cheng Ming despising crowds and having a chauffeur. Wasnt this tough for him?
Actually, there was no need for this. It was too troublesome.
So he silently walked towards He Cheng Ming and said softly, How about you stoping here tomorrow?
When He Cheng Ming heard this, his expression became cold. It was the first time Ji Liao took the initiative to speak to him and it was to tell him not toe here any more.
He took it as Ji Liaos rejection which was like a knife that had pierced his heart. It was so painful that he felt his internal organs tightening, and he begged in a strained voice, What did I do wrong? Tell me and Ill change.
His pupils quivered in his dark, imploring eyes as he stared at Ji Liao.
He had always been superior, feeling as if it was beneath him to surrender to anyone. It was even more unlikely for him to beg, but Ji Liao was an exception. If their interactions from the past few days had not urred, he might have been able to ept that there was nothing between them. But now that he knew what it was like to get close to Ji Liao, it was impossible for him to let go.
Ji Liao was stunned. He mindlessly spoke the truth, You...didnt do anything wrong, its just that you look a little tired. Actually, it really doesnt matter if you donte over...since we canmunicate in other ways...
When the person in front of him bowed his head, his heart softened into aplete mess.
Chapter 11 - As Expected, All Men Are Unfaithful
Chapter 11 - As Expected, All Men Are Unfaithful
The reason for He Cheng Mings tired appearance was his prolonged insomnia. But there was no way he would disclose the story behind his insomnia to Ji Liao.
It was an intense and painful secret.
He pursed his lips, unwilling to loosen his mouth again, and held a cold attitude towards the matter.
Are you angry? Ji Liao questioned softly after sensing an obvious change in the other boys mood.
He Cheng Ming didnt say anything. When the bus arrived, he took the lead, striding onto the bus with Ji Liao following like a young married woman. In thest row, there were two empty seats and He Cheng Ming let Ji Liao sit first before seating himself on the outside.
The bus moved and the two of them remained silent; one with an indifferent expression while the other was biting his lip at a loss.
It was obvious that he was angry, Ji Liao thought to himself, then silentlyined, but he had said that he would never get angry at me! Ah, it had only been a few days! As expected, all men are unfaithful!
As heined, though, he realised that he had included himself. He couldnt help but find that funny and stuck out his tongue.
He Cheng Ming keenly caught that action. In a sh, the cold expression on his face softened as if it had been brushed away by the spring breeze. Actually, he had not been angry at Ji Liao but at himself &#k2014; angry at his own ipetence that caused him to be rejected again and again.
Not angry anymore? Ji Liao only dared to speak after seeing his expression lightened. He felt that He Cheng Mings character was slightly strange his anger left as quickly as it came.
Next time, dont say anything like that. Dont reject me again.
He Cheng Ming turned his head to look at Ji Liao tenderly. Suddenly, he lifted his hand and reached over to touch Ji Liaos head.
Ji Liao shrunk away but didnt avoid it entirely. He said resentfully, Im not a dog...
He wasnt sure how this sentence amused He Cheng Ming as he saw him chuckle, then said cheerfully, Youre cuter than a dog.
Ji Liao: ... Was there such aparison?
He red at the person beside him, originally wanting to express some unhappiness. But on seeing the boys gentle but weary expression, his heart ached. Besides, He Cheng Ming didnt like to hear him say such things...
Not knowing where he got the courage from, Ji Liao reached out and pressed the head of the person 9cm taller than him onto his shoulder.
Lean on me and take a nap . He straightened and said stiffly.
He Cheng Ming had to tilt his head almost ny degrees and the position was ufortable, but the close contact with Ji Liao made him feel very good. He stared nkly for a while, and a word spilt from his burning throat, Okay.
He closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Ji Liao lowered his head to look, and when he saw He Cheng Ming sleeping soundly, he felt his heart surge slightly. But after he recovered his senses, it was toote for regrets! What was he doing?! What business was it of his if He Cheng Ming was tired?!
Ji Liao must have been bewitched by He Cheng Ming, otherwise, how could he possibly have done something like this?
In any case, he would die before admitting he felt heartache for the other boy.
But feeling that it was already a foregone conclusion, he stopped worrying. Then he thought inexplicably, wasnt He Cheng Ming ufortable leaning against him since he was so short? So, he straightened his body and propped himself slightly higher.
He Cheng Ming had really slept until Ji Liaos movements woke him up. He cracked open his eyes and turned his head, brushing his lips against Ji Liaos neck and nearing his ear, he mumbled, You woke me up.
His voice was low and hoarse with a hint of sulkiness.
The entirety of Ji Liaos neck was red! At that moment, he wanted to jump up and push away that boys head, then berate him loudly, What are you doing?! But the other boy didnt seem to notice that he had kissed him, and as if nothing had happened, he fell asleep again on his shoulder...
As soon as Ji Liao smothered his distress, he secretly recorded this debt in his heart.
Chapter 12 - Squatting at the School Gate to CatChapter a Couple in the Act
Chapter 12 - Squatting at the School Gate to CatChapter a Couple in the Act
Today, Lin Jiang arrived especially early but didnt go straight into the school. Instead, he squatted at the school gate to catch a couple in the act!
Last night, he finally understood. After following He Cheng Ming for so many years, when had he ever seen him flirting with a girl? Although he hadnt done so with a guy either...but there was bound to be a reason for the unfounded story! So he suspected that the person He Cheng Ming was dating might as well be Ji Liao who had only recently appeared!
Ever since Ji Liao had appeared, He Cheng Ming had changedpletely. During lessons, he kept checking his WeChat, whereas in the past, he would always sleep until lessons were over! Now that there was no backup, the teacher would frequently remind him to pay attention, even using He Cheng Ming as an example. Look at He Cheng Ming. Hes first in the level and doesnt even sleep during lessons. All of you have the nerve to sleep?
Lin Jiang: ...
She really knew how to take advantage of the situation! Previously, when He Cheng Ming slept, he didnt hear her bring up any examples like, Even the first in the level is sleeping. What are all of you studying for?! In short, she med him for not doing well in his studies and was unworthy to sleep.
Lin Jiang sighed. His legs were tired from squatting at the school gate but he hadnt seen anyone yet.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. He looked up and saw the gold-rounded sses on the bridge of a boys nose. Gu Ming Ren!
Lin Jiang stood up quickly and asked, Gu Shao, have you returned from thepetition?!
Gu Ming Ren was He Cheng Mings only brother and was also on the same level as He Cheng Ming. Regardless of identity, attractiveness, and intelligence, they were equally excellent! Butpared to He Cheng Ming, Gu Ming Ren was a bit enigmatic, so Lin Jiang was slightly afraid of him.
Yes. Gu Ming Ren looked suspiciously at him and asked, Why are you squatting here?
Lin Jiangughed merrily and said, Im waiting for Ming Ge!
Gu Ming Rens face cooled immediately, and his eyes hidden behind his sses revealed a glint of danger, He asked you to wait for him?
Lin Jiang was confused. No, I wanted to wait for him.
After he spoke, he saw He Cheng Ming following Ji Liao off the bus! He was happy that his suspicions had been validated, and ran over immediately, shouting, Ming Ge!
He also greeted Ji Liao, How are you, sister-inw?
Ji Liao was stunned! Once he could respond, he exined red-faced, Dont call me that! Im not He checked their surroundings and confirming that nobody else heard, he heaved a sigh of relief.
But He Cheng Ming was obviously pleased with the term sister-inw. He took his phone and pulled Lin Jiang out from his WeChat cklist.
Lin Jiang was so happy that he didnt notice the frosty manner of a certain person beside him.
That certain person Gu nced at Ji Liao. All along, he knew that He Cheng Ming had someone in his heart, but he thought that it was someone from overseas, not someone from their school. To seed in the pursuit only now, what had he been doing for the past year and a half?
He scoffed and looked down on He Cheng Ming slightly.
He Cheng Ming was angry, but only warned with a smile, Dont put on that expression. There are no signs of sess yet.
Gu Ming Ren shot a nce at Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang wasnt paying him any attention. He nced between He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao and felt that the both of them appeared quite straight, especially He Cheng Ming. Can such an irritable person engage in gay practices? It was inconceivable to consider it. Additionally, who was the one pursuing whom? He really wanted to know!
So he smiled at Ji Liao. Ji Liao, why dont we add each other on WeChat?
Ji Liao couldnt bear the other boys enthusiasm and they added each other.
While youre at it. Gu Ming Ren handed over his phone.
Ji Liao stared for a while, then scanned his code as well.
Inexplicably, two awkward good friends appeared in his WeChat. One was the famous rich second generation, Lin Jiang, and the other was the student union president, Gu Ming Ren.
It was his first time being in close contact with Gu Ming Ren, so Ji Liao couldnt help but look again. The student union president was, after all, an important person. Although He Cheng Ming was also an important person, Gu Ming Rens identity was obviously more decent.
If you continue looking, Im going to be jealous. He Cheng Ming lowered his head and spoke into Ji Liaos ear, then pulled him away with an arm around his shoulder.
Naturally, Lin Jiang wanted to follow He Cheng Ming. But when he took a step forward, Gu Ming Ren blocked him with his foot. Yours.
Meaning that he wanted to add him in his WeChat contacts.
Lin Jiang was overwhelmed; it was understandable that he would add Ji Liao since it was his brothers wife, but why would Gu Ming Ren add him too? He was only a small brother of He Cheng Ming, and not worth much weight.
But since the big shot insisted, he wouldply.
He casually scanned his code, then ran after He Cheng Ming.
Chapter 13 - Who Was the One with His Arm around Your Shoulder Earlier
Chapter 13 - Who Was the One with His Arm around Your Shoulder Earlier
Among the four of them, they were all science students, except for Ji Liao. Gu Ming Ren was in ss one while He Cheng Ming and Lin Jiang were in ss two. Because Ji Liao was an arts student, he was in ss twelve, which was right at the end.
ss twelve was nearer to the right staircase entrance, so Ji Liao left them halfway.
But before he could take two steps, someone pounced on him from behind, giving him a scare.
Turning his head, he saw that it was Yu Jin, and his heart returned to his chest.
What are you doing? Ji Liao asked him.
Yu Jin hung his arm around Ji Liaos shoulder with familiarity and turned to nce behind them. He countered, Were you with He Cheng Ming earlier? Along with Gu Ming Ren and Lin Jiang?
He felt it was inconceivable. After all, in this school, He Cheng Ming and Gu Ming Ren were like two flowers from a tall mountain range, hardly having dealings with anybody else. Lin Jiang was the only one who had entered their circle, and hence became the object of everyones envy.
Ji Liao nodded, silently admitting to his rtionship with the three of them.
Yu Jin was so surprised that he was stunned for a moment. But he quickly recovered and pped Ji Liao on the shoulder excitedly. Well done! When did you manage to hug the golden thigh? Why didnt I know?!
Without waiting for Ji Liaos reply, he continued, In that case, you will have privileges in the future, right?! No need to queue up for bread? Its so nice just thinking about it!
Ji Liao shot him a nce and said sulkily, Youre overthinking it. They are them and Im me. Were just normal friends!
Yu Jin gave a mischievousugh. Thats better than not knowing them at all!
The two of them bickered as they walked into the ssroom.
When Ji Liao was seated, he received a message from He Cheng Ming: Who was the one with his arm around your shoulder earlier.
It ended as a statement, not as a question! Ji Liao sensed a murderous spirit from this sentence and hurriedly exined: Its Yu Jin, my friend.
He was afraid that He Cheng Ming would violently beat somebody up.
There was no response for a while before a message came: Baby, Im jealous.
In the beginning, Ji Liao would have been flustered by such words. But maybe after seeing it so often, he gradually came to ept it and was now immune. He boldly sent He Cheng Ming a waving-goodbye emoticon.
In an instant, He Cheng Ming sent a kiss.
Ji Liao covered his eyes, but smiled involuntarily.
If they continued like this, it would be never-ending. So he typed something to end the topic: I need to prepare for ss.
Mid-terms were starting and he had to cram at thest minute. Although he couldnt match He Cheng Ming, who dominated the list all year round, he couldnt do too badly, right?
He was alreadyparing himself to him. He hoped that the other boy could see a better version of himself, so he put time and energy into his studies, but it also resulted in neglecting He Cheng Ming for several days.
Once the exams ended, He Cheng Ming immediately blocked him at the school gate.
Lin Jiang has booked a room in Xi Jiang Yue. Lets go together.
Xi Jiang Yue was a KTV located nearby. Due to his personality, Ji Liao rarely went to such ces, and he didnt really want to go.
He Cheng Ming noticed the refusal on his face and didnt push further. Instead, he said, Then how about I send you home? You cant refuse me this. Its been so many days, Ji Liao... His tone sounded dissatisfied.
Ji Liao felt this person was really...
At this moment, a phone sounded.
He Cheng Ming was unhappy at the interruption. Lifting his phone up, he saw it was Lin Jiang.
He answered and said directly, Not going. You guys have fun.
As soon as Lin Jiang heard this, he wailed, Ming Ge, dont. I already booked the room and now Im just waiting for all of you!
Then he lowered his voice and added, Just bring him over. I already arranged the rest!
He Cheng Ming frowned, and looked at Ji Liaos lovable and cute appearance. After thinking about it, he decided to let it be and was about to hang up when Ji Liao suddenly spoke up, Lets just go.
He couldnt stand to see He Cheng Ming in a difficult position. Once his heart softened, hepromised.
Chapter 14 - Five, Let Six Give You a Princess Carry
Chapter 14 - Five, Let Six Give You a Princess Carry
The two of them took a taxi and as He Cheng Ming was familiar with the area, he very quickly guided the driver there.
They pushed open the room door, and the sounds of deafening music and shing lights dazzled Ji Liao.
He followed He Cheng Ming inside, and Lin Jiang greeted them impatiently once they stepped in. Ji Liao, Ming Ge, over here!
As soon as he stopped speaking, everyone looked towards them. Even the singers stopped, leaving the sounds of musical apaniment to continue alone. Ji Liao lowered his head subconsciously.
He wasnt used to receiving attention.
But it didnt matter to He Cheng Ming. With a big shot attitude, he strode over and sat in the centre.
When Ji Liao neared, he realised that Gu Ming Ren was also there. His long legs were crossed and he was smoking while leaning brazenly against the sofa. His actions were practiced and he looked like an old-timer.
Ji Liao was surprised. He didnt expect Gu Ming Ren, who looked like someone with reserved manner, to actually be sociable! As expected, a person couldnt be judged by their appearance.
After his silent ridicule, he found a ce at the side to sit down. Only then did he start to observe everyone who was present. Including himself, there were ten other ? six guys and four girls.
Among the girls, he recognised the school flower, Meng Yao Yao; the other three were probably Meng Yao Yaos friends. The lights in the room were too dim and he couldnt see clearly until one of them came towards him. It was Xu Xiao Jing from his ss!
Ji Liao started to get nervous. He had arrived together with He Cheng Ming, would Xu Xiao Jing sense something?
While he was thinking about this, she had already reached him. I thought that He Cheng Ming would bring his girlfriend today, so I didnt expect him to bring you, Ji Liao! Xu Xiao Jing looked excited and sat beside him.
Ji Liao gave her a guilty smile and his expression was slightly unnatural.
Xu Xiao Jing was carefree and didnt notice the change in Ji Liao. Instead, she said to him, I think the incident fromst time was incorrect . He Cheng Ming is with you guys all day long. How could he have a girlfriend?
Upon hearing this, Ji Liao nodded earnestly and went along with it. Yes, he doesnt.
Xu Xiao Jingughed contently, then prodded his arm and lowered her voice. Then can you help uster? Yao Yao has liked He Cheng Ming for so long. We want to help bring them together.
Xu Xiao Jing spoke openly, firmly believing that Ji Liao would help her.
Ji Liao hesitated a little, and unconsciously nced at He Cheng Ming. He was talking to Lin Jiang about something and not paying attention to anything on this side at all.
Since you didnt say anything, Ill take it that you agreed! Xu Xiao Jing was quick to speak and gave a bright smile. She thanked him, then made an OK gesture at Meng Yao Yao.
Since he had been unsure, he had missed the opportunity to refuse. In aplicated mood, Ji Liao sank silently into the sofa. It was clear to him that he didnt want to bring Meng Yao Yao and He Cheng Ming together.
Halfway through singing, Lin Jiang got up and presided over the situation by indicating that it was too boring, and they should instead y a game together.
It was very simple: there were ten ying cards numbered one to nine, plus a king. The person who drew the king would randomly pick any of the other nine numbers to do anything.
Lin Jiang started to deal the cards while Ji Liao was still muddled. He looked at the card that was dealt to him ? Five.
The first one who got the king was a guy. He looked around and picked Three. The task was ? give Seven a kiss.
As soon as this remark was made, the room immediately livened up. But it was a pity that Three and Seven were both girls and the two of them quicklypleted the task.
The game went on to the next round.
Ji Liao had a bad premonition. As expected, he heard his own number: Five.
The person who got the king said, Five, let Six give you a princess carry!
Ji Liaos heart was pounding when he heard the task. Even the tips of his ears were red.
He Cheng Ming looked at him with certainty and threw out the Six that was in his hand.
Seeing something wrong with Ji Liaos expression, Xu Xiao Jing guessed immediately that he could be Five. She secretly switched cards with him behind her back and quickly passed that card to Meng Yao Yao.
When the group pressed for the person who was Five, Meng Yao Yao took the card out with a reddened face. The guys cheered for a good show, but Lin Jiang paled. How could it be! He had clearly given the Five to Ji Liao!
But the truth was in front of him and he had to admit it!
He was done for...
Secretly, he nced at He Cheng Ming. As expected, he was cold and expressionless.
Chapter 15 - Next Time, Ill Still Dare to Do It
Chapter 15 - Next Time, Ill Still Dare to Do It
He Cheng Ming stared at Ji Liao, who didnt dare to lift his head. His heart felt like dry wood in an intense fire so heated that his throat was dry C and the anger in his chest was difficult to calm.
That little trick couldnt be concealed from him. But what made him the angriest was after knowing that he was Six, Ji Liao still chose to switch his card with someone else.
Did it really not matter to him?
He Cheng Ming sneered and felt that after a half-months worth of hard work, he was still at a standstill.
Forever unable to move someone who wouldnt love you.
He lifted up a full ss of alcohol from the table, raised his head and downed it.
Around them, Meng Yao Yaos girlfriends were cheering on the two of them. One was heckling and another was shaking the drum-shaped rattle. Xu Xiao Jing took the lead in pping and shouting, Princess carry! Princess carry!
He Cheng Ming stood up from the sofa, epting his loss. He had lost so he had to receive his punishment. When he got up, he cast a look at Ji Liao, who had just lifted his head, and their eyes met. He Cheng Mings lips curved into a smile and he walked over to Meng Yao Yao.
Meng Yao Yao had a shy and timid expression, wanting but not daring to look at He Cheng Ming. In the next second, she gave a soft cry of surprise as her body was lifted up easily by the person beside her.
There was a faint smell of alcohol on him, but even more so, there was a reassuring scent.
How about walking around twice ? Just lifting her is so boring! Xu Xiao Jing couldnt hide her smile. She tried her best to encourage the situation, even pulling Ji Liao into it. Am I right, Ji Liao?
Ji Liao froze and met He Cheng Mings indifferent eyes. As his heart filled with distress, he forgot to answer.
But He Cheng Ming seemed to already know his answer and carried Meng Yao Yao once around the room, causing everyone to cheer excitedly and praise them to be a natural couple. It wasnt until he felt the girl bury her head into his arm that He Cheng Ming frowned and put her down.
Lin Jiang hurriedly concluded, Okay okay, lets y the next round.
He was about to distribute the cards when He Cheng Ming reminded him not to mess with the cards. Lin Jiangs hand trembled, then he distributed the cards to Gu Ming Ren.
Gu Ming Ren was happy to watch from the sidelines and didnt expect to reap some benefits. He bluntly assigned Two to sit on hisp for three minutes.
Lin Jiangs face darkened when he heard the request because he was Two.
While the two of them werepleting the task, Ji Liao took the opportunity to go out for some fresh air. The room was too stuffy and someones gaze was very heated, making him ufortable. He felt regretful but was unable to exin it, so he held it in and suffered the consequences.
He exited the room and stepped into the quieter corridor. Before he could take two steps, someone from behind covered his mouth and dragged him into the dark room next door.
That person pressed him hard against the back of the door with his whole body leaning into his.
The smell of alcohol assaulted his senses and Ji Liaos heart beat violently. He called out tentatively, He Cheng Ming?
Based on the height, it should be him.
That person didnt reply, instead arge hand pinched his chin and forced him to look up. A wet kiss, full of desire and retribution, descended on him, impatiently sweeping through Ji Liaos mouth.
Ji Liao made a muffled sound and resisted subconsciously, but he couldnt move because the other person was too tall and strong.
His wrists were held tightly together above his head.
It seemed to be that persons first time kissing as well. He had no technique as he was biting and learning by feel. His actions shifted from being rough and explosive, to being soft and gentle. Ji Liao had stopped resisting and his head was spinning.
Although He Cheng Ming finally moved away, he still wanted to continue. Ji Liao leaned onto his shoulder, gasping for breath. His legs were weak and he didnt have the strength to speak.
Ill give you onest chance, Ji Liao. He held him in his arms and whispered in his ear, Push me away now and I wont look for you again.
Ji Liao was about to explode after hearing this. How could he say such nonsense after forcing a kiss on him?
He wanted to lift his head and look directly at this scum. But the other boy held his head down forcefully, not even giving him the chance to answer and immediately said, Okay, you dont have any more chances.
Then, he softened his voice and apologized to him, Im sorry. But he thought to himself, Next time, Ill still dare to do it.
Chapter 16 - But I Like Him
Chapter 16 - But I Like Him
Ji Liao was still in a good mood, even though he had nearly suffocated earlier.
Hearing He Cheng Mings apology, he chuckled silently. Why were his actions always an afterthought?
But he decided to let it go and couldnt be bothered about it. After all, during those times...he had really felt something.
This feeling made Ji Liao very annoyed. Mentally, he felt that this should not happen. But his body was very honest and was provoked by He Cheng Ming.
Dont hold me. He struggled slightly, but was held even tighter.
As soon as I let go, youll surely run. He Cheng Mings arms encircled him domineeringly. His head was lowered with his chin propped on his shoulder, like a big dog wanting to please his master.
Ji Liao was speechless for a moment. Then how long are you going to hold me? If we dont go back, theyll suspect something! With that, he tried to push away the person in front of him, but couldnt.
He Cheng Ming felt so good holding him and his mood naturally improved. Heughed softly and said into Ji Liaos ear, What are you afraid of? Were not having an affair.
Affair &#k2014; the word was spoken very clearly by him. His voice was maic and pleasant with an enticing tone. Ji Liao felt weak from the waist down. If it wasnt for He Cheng Ming holding him up&#k2026;
So easily defeated! He thought, ashamed.
He Cheng Ming could smell the fresh and clean scent of Ji Liaos body. His mind had long wandered off and he couldnt help but say, Baby, you smell so nice. After saying that, he gathered Ji Liao closer.
Ji Liao was about to get really angry. He was simply too much of a bully!
Let go of me! He struggled violently with all of his strength. After all, he was also a boy and he wasnt weak.
He Cheng Ming didnt dare to oppose him. He was afraid to hurt him, so he allowed himself to be pushed away.
Ji Liao turned to open the door, and ran out. He Cheng Ming looked at the emptiness in his arms and felt a slight sense of loss.
The two of them went back, one after the other. No one noticed anything and they were pulled back for another two rounds of games. After that, they sang again and soon it was ten oclock.
The girls families were strict so they prepared to leave in session. Upon seeing this, Ji Liao also prepared to leave. As soon as he got up, He Cheng Ming held his hand. Ill go with you.
Ji Liao struggled out of his grip. No need.
Since the two of them were heading in different directions, it would be troublesome to send him back. These were Ji Liaos thoughts, but He Cheng Ming felt that he was angry again. He was vexed and frowned, wondering why Ji Liao got angry so easily.
When they got downstairs, He Cheng Ming had not been shaken off sessfully, hence Ji Liao resigned. Just then, a soft voice called out, He Cheng Ming.
It was Meng Yao Yao who had left but returned, and was now jogging towards them.
The night breeze lifted her long hair, revealing her gentleness and beauty. Meng Yao Yao stood in front of them, her face flushed with shyness. She gave Ji Liao a friendly smile, then said to He Cheng Ming, I have something to tell you.
The girls voice was sweet and could not be refused.
Seeing this, Ji Liao understood the situation and started to walk away. But He Cheng Ming grabbed his arm, then asked Meng Yao Yao, What is it?
Meng Yao Yao nced shyly at Ji Liao, then mustering up a hundred thousand points of courage, she said loudly, I like you.
When she confessed, her eyes were full of love and expectation Ji Liao was moved by that frank and lovely expression! He Cheng Ming seemed to sense that Ji Liaos heart was beginning to waver, and he frowned. In the next moment, he covered Ji Liaos eyes, preventing him from seeing Meng Yao Yao.
But I like him.
Ji Liaos eyes were covered, so his ears became sensitive. That statement, But I like him, was like a bomb exploding beside his ear. His heart beat wildly and uncontrobly for He Cheng Ming.
Chapter 17 - Baby, Your Palm Is So Wet
Chapter 17 - Baby, Your Palm Is So Wet
Meng Yao Yao was stunned for some time before she realised that the person he had said he liked, was Ji Liao.
At first, she was shocked since it never urred to her that He Cheng Ming was gay! She felt a sense of loss, after all, it was her first time confessing and she had been rejected! Finally, she felt relieved. It wasnt because she wasnt good enough it was because he liked boys!
Meng Yao Yao took a deep breath, gave a rxed smile and said, Okay, then I wish the two of you well.
He Cheng Mings attitude was unfriendly as he acknowledged her coldly with a hum. Thinking of the way Ji Liao had looked at Meng Yao Yao earlier, he understood it too well as a guy himself, and he felt extremely agitated.
Beside him, Ji Liao stood like a wooden block with He Cheng Mings palm still covering his eyes. His mind hadnt sprung into action yet as the sound of his heart was pounding in his ears.
Ill be going first. The girl preserved her gentleness and turned to leave the scene. Right then, Ji Liao pulled He Cheng Mings hand off and looked at Meng Yao Yao, who was already a few steps away. She nced back and winked as she said, Dont worry. Ill keep your secret.
Ji Liao let his worries go, and his good feelings towards Meng Yao Yao increased. She was beautiful and gentle even after being rejected, she was still very considerate. Such a girl...if only she had liked him.
Dont even think about it. He Cheng Ming suddenly said.
Ji Liao was caught by surprise and turned to look at him. His face appeared embarrassed as if he was caught cheating, and he stammered, What, what dont think about it? Did this person have mind-reading abilities?
He Cheng Ming snorted coldly, and with a dark expression, he tried to get him moving, Are you not going? Didnt you want to go? He thought to himself, Want to like somebody else? Ha, dont even think about it!
Ji Liao let out an oh, then started walking with his head down.
He Cheng Ming strode beside Ji Liao as the two walked under the residual lights. The street was very quiet at night, and the dim yellow light of the streetmps stretched their shadows. Ji Liaos eyelids suddenly jumped when he felt the person beside him hold his hand.
Their palms touched each other as if maized.
The two of them looked calm on the surface but their hearts were pounding like drums, restless and uneasy. One of them was afraid that the other would fling his hand off and walk away, while the other was thinking, What the heck was going on, was he making a move tonight?!
After waiting for a while and seeing that Ji Liao had no reaction, He Cheng Ming couldnt help smiling and was ted.
On the other hand, Ji Liao had a lot of thoughts and felt very apprehensive. Were they progressing too quickly? They had kissed and held hands, then was the next step to be eaten up cleanly by him?
That wasnt right. Why was it him that had to be eaten up?!
Whats more, how did two guys eat each other up?!
Thinking of this, he realised that his face was so hot that an egg could be fried on it! Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see it.
At night, the wind was a little chilly, and He Cheng Ming asked thoughtfully, Are you cold?
Actually, Ji Liao felt like he was dying from the heat! He shook his head.
He Cheng Ming seemed to notice something as he suddenly chuckled and bent down to Ji Liaos ear, Baby, your palm is so wet.
Ji Liao was provoked by this statement and feeling ashamed, he immediately pulled his hand back. But He Cheng Ming wasnt willing to let go and held on tightly, shoving it into his own coat pocket.
Okay, stop. I wont say anymore. His face had a smile that couldnt be concealed. His normally furrowed eyebrows and ice-cold eyes softened. His head drooped towards Ji Liao, asking for mercy.
Ji Liao kept a straight face and remained silent.
To be honest, the tall and handsome He Cheng Ming being adorable was quite...well, quite able to move his heart easily.
Chapter 18 - Disciplining Him
Chapter 18 - Disciplining Him
When Ji Liao arrived home, Xu Ai Wen was sitting at the dining table having dinner. It seemed like she had also returned not long ago.
Mom, you worked overtime again, Ji Liao said, distressed.
Before his father had passed away, his mother had been a full-time housewife who was responsible for the household chores, and taking care of her husband and son.
At that time, Xu Ai Wen was happy and satisfied. She had a husband who loved her, a lovely son and a stable, blissful life. Each day passed happily and so she looked especially young and beautiful.
Ji Liao walked over and sat beside Xu Ai Wen. Seeing her tired appearance caused by overworking, he realised that this intelligent and beautiful woman had made great efforts to support this family during these three years after his fathers death.
Yes I did, have you eaten? Theres still some rice left. Xu Ai Wen was about to stand up and bring a bowl to Ji Liao, but he quickly pressed her down. Ive already eaten, he said firmly.
Afterwards, Xu Ai Wen gave in and asked about his recent studies with concern. Ji Liao answered her questions one by one. Xu Ai Wen touched his head with satisfaction. Every day when she came home, as long as Ji Liao was doing fine, she felt that herbour and exhaustion didnt matter to her.
Well, itste. Go wash up and sleep, said Xu Ai Wen.
Ji Liao shook his head. Ill sit with you for a while.
It was too lonely to eat alone. He didnt want his mother to feel that way.
Xu Ai Wens eyes were full of emotion. She felt that her son had grown up and became more empathetic, so she didnt refuse. The two of them chatted for a while, and after Xu Ai Wen finished eating and went to clean the dishes, Ji Liao began to head to his room.
Xu Ai Wen felt him pass by and suddenly called out to him, Tang Tang.
Ji Liao nced back.
Xu Ai Wen paused, then asked carefully, If...if Mom finds you a stepfather, is it okay?
Ji Liao had never thought of that, and froze. Seeing his reaction, Xu Ai Wen quickly added, If you dont like it, I wont look. Having you is enough for Mom.
Ji Liao had always been very obedient and never refused Xu Ai Wen. But for this matter, he had no immediate answer, nor could he say that it was okay. He couldnt forget Ji Qing Wen, and was unable to imagine another man entering their lives.
He was stuck in the past, unable topletely walk away from it.
Okay. It was an implied rejection, and Ji Liao entered his room.
After bathing, hey on his bed, unable to fall asleep. Today, there were too many things that had caught him off guard and his brain felt like mush.
At the bedside, his phone sounded.
Ji Liao reached over to take a look it was a voice message from He Cheng Ming. Before that, there was also a message from five minutes ago: Im so excited, baby.
Three minutes ago: Thinking about you and I cant fall asleep.
Opening the voice message, Ji Liao, reply to me, okay...?
The low and hoarse voice had a juvenile, fawning tone and was really charming as well as manly!
Ji Liao felt helpless. At times, He Cheng Ming was overbearing and cold, but at other times, he was like a child. He replied with a Close your eyes, sleep emoticon. But after sending it, he felt that something didnt seem quite right, but thinking about it for some time, nothing came to mind.
When He Cheng Ming received the message, he understood immediately. His baby was disciplining him and telling him to sleep well! So he obediently replied: Okay, Ill listen to you.
Ji Liao hurriedly sent back: ...That wasnt what I meant...
He Cheng Ming: It was.
Chapter 19 - Eaten a Portion of Dog Food for No Reason!
Chapter 19 - Eaten a Portion of Dog Food for No Reason!
Having spent the weekend at home, it was time for school again the next day.
The temperature in November was gradually lowering. Ji Liao wore a blue and white striped sweater and left the house. He walked to the bus stop and saw He Cheng Ming also wearing a sweater. But his was red and very eye-catching, enhancing his charisma and making him look even more handsome...
The two of them headed to school together. The moment Ji Liao entered his ssroom, Xu Xiao Jing caught hold of him!
The girl looked at him excitedly but repressed her desire to scream. She stomped her foot and eximed, Ji Liao! Are you really...together with He Cheng Ming?! Thest part was said very softly, fearing that someone else might hear.
When Meng Yao Yao had told her, she almost went crazy! The soul of a fujoshi was burning. After watching so many anime, reading so manyics and shipping so many CPs in real life, there was now an actual ready-made pair beside her. Additionally, they were very good-looking. It was a favourable blessing from the heavens!
Ji Liao froze for a moment, guessing that it might have been Meng Yao Yao who had told her, and felt a little unhappy. She had clearly agreed to keep it a secret...looking at Xu Xiao Jings loving expression, he was very puzzled. Why was she so happy about him being together with He Cheng Ming?
He gave a vague and resigned hum, then walked to his seat.
Xu Xiao Jing followed him eagerly with a mind filled with fantasies about a school bully and a little white rabbit He Cheng Ming pouncing on Ji Liao in an XXOO scene then revealed a satisfied and indescribable auntie smile.
For the whole morning, Ji Liao felt as if his back was a pin cushion. Turning his head, he found that it was Xu Xiao Jing staring at him, starry-eyed. For four lessons, he was stared at in this way until Ji Liao was called away by the math teacher.
The math teacher was a 40 year old middle-aged man with a nice face but an anxious character. Ji Liao was a little afraid of him because his math results werent good. Additionally, he had been caught several times when his attention wandered.
In the teachers office, Ji Liao stood in a daze.
Do you know why I called you here?
The math teacher looked at him sternly, then pointed to the score sheet on his desk. It was the result from thest exam and his name had been circled in red. Compared to his previous results, although it had improved by 10 ces, his score had dropped by more than 20 points.
Ji Liao, do you have something against me? Why are you improving in all your other subjects but getting worse in math?!
He Cheng Ming was helping Gu Ming Ren to sort some documents for the student union and happened to be in the office just behind the storage rack. Hearing the familiar name, he raised his head abruptly and saw Ji Liao with his head down, enduring a scolding.
The teacher in front of him continued to chide him, Moreover, was this exam difficult? Which of the major questions havent I discussed before? What were you doing in ss? Were you paying attention?!
Once this semester ends, youll be in year three. Ji Liao, if you continue this learning attitude, you wouldnt even be able to pass an undergraduate course!
Ji Liao had always been thin-skinned. After being admonished, his neck was red and he lowered his head, feeling guilty. Secretly, he nced at his results 64 marks. No wonder he was angry. Thest time, he had managed to get a score of 90 points, barely getting a passing grade. This time, his score had really fallen significantly.
Gu Ming Ren looked at He Cheng Ming, who had not moved. Following the direction of his gaze, he understood what was going on at a nce and hissed, Why, heartache?
He Cheng Mings eyes were focused. Yes.
His heart ached.
Gu Ming Ren: ...
Fuck, he had eaten a portion of dog food for no reason!
Note: Just want to thank Peachieevee and bring everyones attention to her fanart that Ive put up on the main page of this story here. ?(^?^)?
Chapter 20 - If You Move Again, Ill Kiss You
Chapter 20 - If You Move Again, Ill Kiss You
Ji Liao came out from the office, crestfallen.
It was lunchtime but he had no appetite. He headed directly back to his ssroom and slumped onto his desk.
Actually, he used to be a good student with excellent grades. Every time he got first ce, Ji Qing Wen would reward him and bring him out to y. Sometimes it was outside or within the province, and sometimes to his construction site.
Ji Qing Wen was an unsophisticated architect. Why add the word unsophisticated? Because he had no diploma and had followed a master around construction sites while applying his knowledge. Additionally, his designs had a certain quality that had granted him a small, local reputation.
When the rich bosses had been in the city for a long time, they wanted to return to nature in their spare time, so they bought a piece ofnd at the mountain top, intending to build a vi there. One of the bosses had a good impression of Ji Qing Wen and gave the assignment to him.
Ji Liao liked to go to his fathers construction site because the air was refreshing and it was quiet. Moreover, he was very interested in the foundations of the structure. He felt a sense of aplishment seeing the small vis being built from the ground up and felt that his father was the best.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, during winter, Ji Qing Wen braved the rain to catch up on the construction work schedule. He had an ident at the site, rolling down from the roof and died.
It was difficult for Ji Liao to ept it. He had suffered from a bout of illness and his academic results had been plummeting ever since. Although it slowly picked up, it would never return to the time when it was at its best.
Maybe there was also a psychological reason. Even if he took first ce, there would be no one to reward him.
When Ji Liao thought of this, he gathered his arms and buried his head deep inside.
He missed Ji Qing Wen.
Right then, a tall red figure appeared at the window.
He Cheng Ming looked into ss twelve and saw Ji Liao slumped at his desk. He couldnt see his face but could imagine how upset he was and did not relish it.
This little fool, just two sentences of scolding and he couldnt take it?
He had surely not eaten lunch.
Entering the ssroom, He Cheng Ming stopped in front of Ji Liaos seat. Ji Liao sensed something and lifted his head to look, then froze.
Why are you here? He asked in surprise.
I miss you. He Cheng Ming gave an evil smile then pinched Ji Liaos face before he could react.
His skin was really good, so soft and smooth.
Ji Liao pped his hand away and quickly looked around worried. If someone else saw or heard him...the consequences would really be unimaginable.
Dont stand here... When Xu Xiao Jing had questioned him that morning about his rtionship with He Cheng Ming, although he had acquiesced, he lost his courage when he thought about the possibility of the rtionship being exposed to the public.
Lets go and eat. He Cheng Ming didnt care and couldnt wait for the whole world to know that Ji Liao was his man, but he also respected Ji Liaos wishes. After all, he was an obedient boyfriend.
He had probably spoken in an imposing manner as Ji Liao subconsciously got up and followed. He had walked to the ssroom door when he realised that he didnt have any appetite...
There was always a safe distance between the two of them, and He Cheng Ming was exasperated. He put his arm around Ji Liaos shoulder and held him like a buddy, but Ji Liao felt that it was too intimate and tried to resist.
If you move again, Ill kiss you. He Cheng Ming tried to scare him.
Ji Liao didnt dare to move again. His eyes were full of grievances and fear.
The students who passed by all looked at them and Ji Liaos heart beat very fast. He heard two boys calling out to He Cheng Ming, Ming Ge.
He Cheng Ming nodded like a boss, then raised a brow at Ji Liao. See, no one thinks theres a problem. Dont worry for nothing. His benefits would not be removed because of this!
Ji Liao was silent and pursed his lips tightly, expressing unhappiness towards his overbearing manner.
Baby, why the long face? Come on, give me a smile.
He Cheng Ming teased him, but seeing that Ji Liao didnt give in, he faked a sigh. If baby doesnt smile, then Ill give you a smile.
With that, he lifted the corners of his lips and smiled at Ji Liao like a big dorky fool.
Ji Liao couldnt resist. With a snigger, his resentment from earlier disappeared in a sh, and he felt slightly better.
Chapter 21 - It Was Soft and Sweet
Chapter 21 - It Was Soft and Sweet
Since he felt better, his appetite returned.
The two of them didnt go to the cafeteria. Instead, they left the school and went to a reputable, privately-owned restaurant nearby.
Ji Liao and Yu Jin had eaten there once. The food was good but it was quite expensive, so they never came back. However, He Cheng Ming seemed to be a regr customer. The boss saw him and gave a warm greeting, then asked, Still the same as ever?
He Cheng Ming responded with Same as ever, then released Ji Liao and found a ce to sit.
The waiter served them two sses of water and Ji Liao took a sip. In his head, he was calcting if he had enough pocket money to pay after AA.
My brother invested in this restaurant, so dont worry about it. You can eat whatever you want. He Cheng Ming said, seeming to read his thoughts.
Ji Liao choked up as the embarrassment of having been caught appeared on his face. He paused, then changed the topic. You have a brother?
Yes, same father, different mothers. Hes the rightful prince. Im not. He Cheng Ming said it without any qualms. When the dishes were served, he got up to get a bowl and chopsticks for Ji Liao.
Ji Liao was ttered by the treatment. He felt that He Cheng Ming was a little too good to him and was under great pressure.
Dont do that&#k2026; If He Cheng Ming was like this, it would seem like Ji Liao had no conscience if he didntpensate him.
Huh? He Cheng Ming didnt understand and looked at him, Whats the matter?
Whats the matter? How could he say it? Dont be so nice to me? Feeling unreasonable and ashamed, Ji Liao just shook his head. Forget it.
He ducked his head and focused on eating.
When he ate, he liked to fill his mouth then chew slowly. Because of this, Xu Ai Wen had said to him many times that it didnt give a good impression. But He Cheng Ming thought that it was very cute as he looked like a hamster stuffing its cheeks.
He wanted to kiss him.
This thoughtsted until they finished eating and walked back to school.
Since it was still early, He Cheng Ming deliberately led him towards the remote path. Ji Liao didnt think too much about it and assumed that the other boy had eaten too much and wanted to take a walk, so he went along foolishly.
When someone grasped his wrist, he turned his head to see He Cheng Mings dark eyes staring at him intently.
Ji Liao.
His voice was very hoarse as his scorching gaze slowly moved from his eyes andnded on his lips.
Ji Liao understood what he wanted to do and his heart thumped. His mind recalled the tempestuous kiss fromst night and his throat started to dry, but his rationality reminded him that this wasnt right, the timing wasnt right and the ce wasnt right...
Before he could respond, He Cheng Ming brought him to the back of an abandoned building. The rtively hidden ce allowed Ji Liao to heave a sigh of relief. With his back against the wall, he met He Cheng Mings red eyes. His heart softened and he gave in.
He closed his eyes, indicating his consent, but his face had a scared expression.
He Cheng Ming had one hand pressed against the wall as he lowered his head to meet Ji Liaos lips. His actions were careful, afraid to make the other boy ufortable.
It was a kiss, but it was only one-sided. It was better to be a one-sided kiss than none at all, He Cheng Ming thought. Just as he was preparing to pry Ji Liaos teeth apart and dive in, he found Ji Liao clenching his teeth due to his nerves and he couldnt continue.
In exasperation, He Cheng Ming left his lips momentarily. Ji Liao thought the kiss was over and rxed. Upon opening his eyes, he saw a handsome, magnified face. Quickly following that, he felt the other boys tongue entering his mouth and tangled with his.
It was soft and sweet. As if it wasnt enough, he tasted him over and over again. He Cheng Ming did not let him go until Ji Liao begged for mercy, and the two of them parted with heavy breaths.
Chapter 22 - Investment towards Sexual Bliss for the Second Half of His Life
Chapter 22 - Investment towards Sexual Bliss for the Second Half of His Life
Ji Liaos face was red as he leaned limply against the wall to calm himself. Within 24 hours, he had been kissed twice and the other party was a male. But he didnt feel any difort and even felt quite...good.
Was he...bent?
He lifted his head to look at He Cheng Ming. A big part of his uncertainty was that he wasnt sure if the other boy really liked him. What if it was just a trick?
After all, his reputation was so bad that he had every reason to doubt him.
What are you thinking about? He Cheng Ming was very satisfied after the kiss and his mood was so good that he could fly.
But Ji Liaos voice was gloomy. Nothing much.
Thinking he was still worried about his results, He Cheng Ming rubbed his head and said, Ill tutor you in math. Anything you dont understand, you can ask me, okay?
He had always found it a bother to teach and normally felt that it was a waste of his time. But if it was Ji Liao, it wasnt the same. Any time spent on him was an investment. Well, it was an investment towards sexual bliss for the second half of his life.
Huh? Ji Liao didnt expect him to suddenly change the subject. He took some time to respond, and asked stupidly, How did you know Im not doing well in math?
I was in the office earlier and heard everything. He Cheng Ming replied.
Ji Liaos face burned, and he felt slightly ashamed. But on second thought, this was the real him and not the obedient image that he seemed to portray. He would also be distracted during ss, and get scolded by the teacher for his bad habits.
If He Cheng Ming saw his shorings, would he actually like him, or would he abandon him?
But you never teach.
Ji Liao remembered a conversation about a girl who asked He Cheng Ming to teach her. He threw her book out and warned everyone else not to ever bother him with their homework.
From then on, news of his irritable and arrogant personality spread...
That was someone else. He Cheng Ming stopped halfway, then smiled and looked at Ji Liao meaningfully. He opened his mouth and was about to continue when he was interrupted by Ji Liao. Okay, lets go.
It would be strange if someone spotted the two of them hiding here.
He Cheng Ming shrugged and dropped the subject. Knowing that Ji Liao was thin-skinned, he chose not to continue his teasing.
Returning to ss twelve together, Ji Liao first slumped on his desk, then feeling bored, he took out his homework. When he encountered a problem, he thought for a while, then went to ask He Cheng Ming.
He Cheng Ming took one look at the problem, then asked, Have a pen?
Ji Liao took out a pen and paper for him.
With his long fingers, he held onto the pen and paused for a moment, before bowing his head and writing the steps clearly on the paper. The tip of the pen scratched against the surface, making a rustling sound as it went. Ji Liao sat opposite him and couldnt help staring at him in awe.
A serious He Cheng Ming was simply so dazzling that it was difficult to look away.
Are there words on my face? He didnt notice that the other boy had finished writing and was looking at him.
Ji Liao quickly lowered his head, picked up the answer sheet in front of him and focused on analysing it.
After reading through it, he gave a sigh. Worthy of first ce. The thought process was clear and the steps were straightforward. Exined in this way, it seemed like the solution was very simple.
The important thing is this form. You have to remember it. He Cheng Ming drew a line on the paper to emphasize his point.
Ji Liao nodded in acknowledgement. Once he understood the problem clearly, he became more interested. He asked several more questions sessively while the clock hands slowly inched towards one oclock. Ji Liao felt that it was about time to start chasing him away. If his ssmates returned to the ssroom, it would be difficult for him to exin their situation.
Ah, destroying the bridge after crossing the river. Although He Cheng Ming sounded dissatisfied, his body was energetic. He walked to the door of ss twelve and met face-to-face with Xu Xiao Jing who wasing in.
Chapter 23 - Unfortunately, There Were No Ifs
Chapter 23 - Unfortunately, There Were No Ifs
Xu Xiao Jing stared nkly at He Cheng Ming as he passed by her. She hated herself for noting back earlier!
If she hade back earlier, she might have been able to catch the two of them being affectionate!
Ah, she wanted to eat dog food!
Annoyed, she returned to her seat. Xu Xiao Jing craned her neck to check on Ji Liao. Seeing that he was doing his homework seriously, she didnt have any excuses to disturb him and withdrew her head.
People came into the ssroom one after another as the afternoon sses would begin soon.
The afternoon passed with the prolonged sounds of lectures. It wasnt until the evening bell rang that the quiet and serious ssroom rxed.
Yu Jin had sent Ji Liao a message, asking him if he would like to y basketball after school, and Ji Liao had replied in agreement. So once the ss was released, Yu Jin rushed out with a basketball to reserve a spot.
After Xu Xiao Jing tidied up her belongings, she looked up to find that Ji Liao was gone. She checked the drawer and found his schoolbag still there.
She wrote a note and put it in a book, then ced the book on Ji Liaos desk.
Hehe, this was her favourite novel. Especially since the male protagonist resembled He Cheng Ming, which should help him out, Xu Xiao Jing thought naively.
Ji Liao returned from ying basketball. He was sweating profusely, so Yu Jin handed him a bottle of water as usual.
Ji Liao drank a big mouthful before quickly packing his schoolbag and leaving the ssroom with Yu Jin.
They would often y basketball after school, then head home together.
On the way, they made idle conversation. Then Yu Jin suddenly asked Ji Liao, Have you thought about which university you want to go to next year?
Ji Liao stared nkly for a moment and did not know how to respond. Why are you suddenly asking about this?
If it was a month ago, he would have given a confident reply, such as somewhere close to home, because if it was too far, he would worry about Xu Ai Wen. But now, there was He Cheng Ming to consider, and his results were so good that he would definitely go to the capital, right?
Im just asking. So what did you decide on? Yu Jin looked at him.
Ji Liao frowned slightly and thought about the difference between his and He Cheng Mings grades. When the time came, they would have to separate. If he didnt want to ept that oue, he would need to work hard in theing year.
Actually, my mom wants me to study art.
Seeing that Ji Liao was slow to respond, Yu Jin stuffed his hands into his pockets and continued, She said its easier for arts students.
His results were worse than Ji Liaos. If he wanted to be in the same school as Ji Liao, he needed more points. Studying art was a good choice the threshold was low, it was quick to pick up, and he also didnt mind it.
Ji Liao, why dont you join me? Yu Jin tried to persuade him.
Huh? Ji Liao looked at him strangely. You know my familys situation. We cant afford it.
His familys finances had always been Xu Ai Wens responsibility. Not only did she take care of his clothing, food and daily expenses, but she also put him through school with the ie from her job. It was already very exhausting, and he couldnt add on to her burdens.
Yu Jin was silent. Actually, he knew that Ji Liao wouldnt agree, but he still wanted to try, just in case.
If he really went to study art, he wouldnt be able to go to ss with Ji Liao again. Then...the days would be hard to endure.
The two of them walked out of the school gate and immediately parted ways.
He headed left while Ji Liao headed right.
After a few steps, Yu Jin suddenly stopped and looked back at Ji Liao. He gazed at his thin back, as if seeing him again during the second year of junior high when his father had just died. From then on, he had seemed so alone.
Yu Jin often wondered, if their family hadnt moved out of the neighbourhood that year if he could have stayed by Ji Liaos side at that time could they have grown closer to each other during these past three years?
Chapter 24 - Your School Uniform is Untidy
Chapter 24 - Your School Uniform is Untidy
The next day, there were two red lists on the schools bulletin board which were the results of the mid-term examinations, and each listed the top 100 in Arts and Science.
There was no surprise that the first in Science was He Cheng Ming. But to everyones shock, his total score this time was closer to the second ce score by thirty marks.
Moreover, the second ce was held by the student union president, Gu Ming Ren.
Although Gu Ming Ren was expressionless when he saw the list, he swore in his heart. Was He Cheng Ming a fucking otherworldly being? Sleeping during the day and flirting with Ji Liao at night, yet still able to produce such results. Fuck my life, Gu Ming Ren thought to himself.
What made him even more furious was that every year, during this time, his name had to be brought up forparison. The main idea was that if He Cheng Ming had a better temper and attitude, the position of student union president would have nothing to do with Gu Ming Ren.
Ha! Saying that he was happy with the situation was just a facade.
As soon as he was about to leave, He Cheng Ming walked over, followed by Lin Jiang.
Gu Ming Rens eyes narrowed and he became unhappier.
Oh, Gu Shao, you came to see the list too. Lin Jiang was fully aware of his little brother position, so he had to endure his embarrassment to greet the other boy.
At the thought of having sat on Gu Ming Rensp thest time, he became ashamed and his face turned scalding hot.
Your Ming Ge cane, but I cant? Gu Ming Ren remarked unpleasantly.
Er&#k2026;
Lin Jiang choked up before a smile was stered on his face; he was cursing in his heart. Did this spectacle monster swallow some gunpowder today? Why was he so snappy? Seemed like he had to let him off today.
He Cheng Ming understood how Gu Ming Ren felt. Every time the list was released, he would be angry for the next one or two days.
The reason was very simple. The He family and Gu family were close friends. When the wives got together, they either acimed their husbands or their sons. In the praising of sons, He Cheng Ming had never let his mother down. Naturally, Mrs. Gu would be unhappy, thus never stopped putting pressure on Gu Ming Ren.
Hey, dont worry about it. He Cheng Ming patted Gu Ming Ren on the shoulder andforted him carelessly.
Gu Ming Ren looked at him. Get lost.
He Cheng Ming smiled and moved away. By instinct, his follower, Lin Jiang, wanted to keep up with him, but was suddenly caught by the cor.
Lin Jiang almost choked. He turned his head, about to curse, until he saw Gu Ming Ren. He immediately swallowed his profanities and asked, Gu Shao, what is it?
He was called Gu Shao, but He Cheng Ming was called Ming Ge.
Ha.
Gu Ming Ren sneered at him. Your school uniform is untidy. Come with me to the office for a review.
Lin Jiang: ???
He was dragged away with a look of confusion on his face.
Meanwhile, He Cheng Ming nced through the arts rankings but didnt see Ji Liaos name. He looked at the results of the top 100 and frowned.
His phone vibrated in his pocket.
He picked it up, not expecting to see Ji Liaos message: Im in the library. Do you want to join me?
Fireworks went off in He Cheng Mings heart! This was the first time Ji Liao had taken the initiative to invite him!!!
He replied immediately: Wait for me.
In the next second, he turned and strode towards the library. As he walked, his pace picked up and became a trot. On the way, the youths tall body, long alternating legs and smiling eyes caused many female students to stop and turn back to look at him.
The library had a special study area for students to do homework and engage in soft discussion.
Ji Liao reserved a spot there, then went to get water. When he came back, he bumped into a breathless He Cheng Ming.
He handed his water bottle over and asked, Want a drink?
He Cheng Ming, for certain, didnt mind and epted it, lifting his head to take a mouthful. It tasted a little sweet.
Chapter 25 - You Like to Read Things like This?
Chapter 25 - You Like to Read Things like This?
Why did you run? Ji Liao asked softly with a slight reprimanding tone.
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows, brimming with emotions. He bent down to look him in the eye, and said coolly, You already know the answer.
With that, he looked at Ji Liao with unconcealed amusement.
Rebuffed, Ji Liao had nothing to say. Retrieving his water bottle, he turned and walked away. He Cheng Ming followed closely and put a hand on his shoulder. Acting pitiful, he apologised, Okay, I was wrong. Dont be angry.
Ji Liao was speechless and felt that He Cheng Ming fawned over him too much to win his favour, even coaxing him as if he was a girl.
Im not angry.
Turning a corner, he returned to his original seat and indicated to He Cheng Ming that his seat was on the opposite side. But He Cheng Ming pretended not to see and sat beside him with a broad smile.
Ji Liao: ...
Fine, as long as he didnt disturb him.
Last night, upon returning home, he spent some time thinking. Regardless of whether He Cheng Ming really liked him, he first had to improve his grades. Thereafter, if he genuinely liked him, they could go together to their preferred university and not have to go through a long-distance romance because of his poor grades. If his feelings werent genuine, then he hadnt lost out. In any case, he had a tutor!
Here, I dont understand these. Ji Liao was slightly embarrassed for troubling him. But he continued as he pushed a small book, containing some exercises, towards him.
Turns out he was asked here to teach.
He Cheng Mings heart was filled with the satisfaction of being needed, and he pulled the book closer for examination. Picking up a pen and paper, he began to write while exining it to Ji Liao. Ji Liao listened attentively and asked whenever he didnt understand. They went back and forth, and the two of them moved closer and closer.
Simplify this first... He Cheng Ming exined, and when he lifted his head for a nce, he suddenly stopped.
Ji Liaos face was so close that he could see the fine hairs on it. His blinking eyes glistened like the Milky Way, and He Cheng Mings mind nked.
What... Ji Liao lifted his head, about to ask why he stopped when he saw the other boy staring nkly at him. He was very familiar with that look and immediately distanced himself, putting some space between the two of them.
When He Cheng Ming saw that Ji Liao was so flustered, heughed to himself but put on a straight face and asked coldly, Am I a dreadful monster thats so scary to you?
Ji Liao pursed his lips, not daring to make a sound. His face was full of tension and uneasiness.
He Cheng Ming didnt expect his honest reaction and immediately softened his voice. With heartache, he said, Why are you so easy to bluff? Im just scaring you.
Just scaring him?
Ji Liao heaved a sigh of relief. His expression from earlier was actually frightening.
Come, lets continue. He Cheng Ming quickly changed the subject but his heart was very bitter. It felt like he was simply lifting a stone to smash himself in the foot. He clearly knew that Ji Liao was a little afraid of him, and yet he still deliberately scared him.
Fortunately, as they progressed, the small episode passed.
The two of them were immersed again until all the unsolved questions in Ji Liaos small book were done. He Cheng Ming finally stopped and exhaled. This was certainly the most he had ever spoken in one day!
Ji Liao sympathised with him and offered, Water?
He Cheng Ming shook his head and propped his chin up to look at him. Dont feel like drinking.
His answer was interesting. It wasnt that he didnt want to drink, but because he didnt feel like drinking.
Ji Liao asked again, Then what do you feel like drinking? A beverage?
He recalled seeing a beverage dispenser at the library entrance. If He Cheng Ming wanted a drink, he could buy it to repay him for his hard work in teaching him.
He Cheng Ming didnt reply. Ji Liao waited for a while, and his gaze couldnt help moving from the book to him. He then saw He Cheng Ming moving his face closer, using his slender forefinger to point at his own cheek.
Tuition fee. He said shamelessly.
Ji Liao immediately refused. This is the library!
He was crazy! Although there was barely anyone around, there were still surveince cameras!
He Cheng Ming seemed to sense his misgivings as he used the big textbook on the table to block both their faces. Then he urged, Quickly, Ji Liao.
Ji Liao had a fault. As long as someone urged him, he wouldply easily. After a short pause, he closed his eyes and speedily nted a kiss on the other boys cheek, then wished for this event to quickly pass.
So obedient.
He Cheng Ming was satisfied. His face carried a smile, and he looked at Ji Liao with tender and watery eyes.
If only he had this type of benefit every day, he would exin a hundred problems every day!!!
Stop staring! Ji Liao red at him as he spoke, feeling extremely shy.
He Cheng Ming teased him, If I cant look at you, then what can I look at?
Ji Liao threw his schoolbag over. Read a book!
Okay, Ill listen to what baby says.
He decided to quit while he was ahead.
Opening the bag, he rummaged inside and found a book with the cover wrapped up. He took it out, casually flipped through it, and became engrossed in the contents the further he read.
Ji Liao, who was doing revisions, suddenly felt that it had be scarily quiet beside him. He sneaked a peek and saw He Cheng Ming very focused on a book, even wrinkling his brow once in a while.
What are you reading? He couldnt help but ask.
He Cheng Ming let out a Huh? and realised that his voice had be hoarse and deep. His face colour changed immediately and he looked straight at Ji Liao.
Ji Liao felt his hairs stand on its ends with his stare. Why are you looking at me like that?
He Cheng Ming quickly shifted his gaze, taking a while to recover before asking meaningfully, You...like to read this type of thing?
Ji Liao grumbled, What type of thing?
As he took the book from He Cheng Ming, he found it a little odd as he had never wrapped his textbooks like this.
He only managed to endure two lines before his face flushed red and he threw the book onto the table.
What the hell was that?! Erotica? And it was between two guys!
With all the groaning, grunting and exmations of faster, the two lines from the book now upied his mind . Usually, he couldnt memorise well, but this time it felt that he suddenly had a memory with extraordinary retentive abilities, deeply imprinting the words in his mind!
From beside him, He Cheng Ming could see that the book didnt belong to Ji Liao. If not, Ji Liao wouldnt have been more...erm, more agitated than him.
Day and Night with the Bullying President, He picked up the book and read its title, clearly articting every word.
With this title, the book sounded like it would go into great detail.
It was the first time He Cheng Ming had seen something like this. Although he had already liked Ji Liao from very early on, he had never had serious contact within the gay circle, and also rarely watched such films.
When required, he only had to think of Ji Liaos face and waist to achieve release quickly.
Thats not my book! Ji Liao exined hurriedly. How could he have such a thing?!
He Cheng Ming acknowledged with a hum, then reached for the book to continue reading it. It was quite engaging.
Ji Liao snatched the book away immediately, then stammered, You, you, dont read anymore! Whats so nice about it?!
The two lines he had read described an erotic bed scene. He didnt know why the uke kept begging for mercy and seemed to be in great difort. He didnt want to be treated like that by He Cheng Ming in future.
Wrong!
What was he thinking?!!!
Ji Liao thought that he was going crazy.
Chapter 26 - Simply Closed His Eyes Pretending to Sleep
Chapter 26 - Simply Closed His Eyes Pretending to Sleep
That night, Ji Liao brought the erotic book home.
He didnt want to take it, but He Cheng Ming urged that since the book came from his schoolbag, it was a very awkward situation; they couldnt leave it in the library or throw it away. If someone had misced it, wouldnt they look for him to get it back?
Hence, he simply brought it home.
The erotic booky undisturbed in his schoolbag. Ji Liaos gazended on it asionally, and he was a little tempted to read it...
He had read erotica secretly, but it was all of the boy-girl varieties. It was the first time he was seeing a boy-boy one, which was almost like acquiring knowledge, making him even more curious.
The small demon in his heart jabbed him with a cane, and Ji Liao couldnt resist the lure. After he used the pretense of learning to convince himself, he unzipped his schoolbag, pulled out the book and began to read. The first chapter was already very exciting. During a team building activity, the protagonist became drunk and mistakenly got into the presidents bed, resulting in an indescribable one night stand.
The author had described the erotic bed scene very vividly. Ji Liaos face was flushed, and he couldnt move his eyes away from the descriptions of the various annoyances and pleasures of the scene. He felt like he was in a dream until the end of the chapter. So this was how love-making was between guys.
It was slightly incredulous. Could the behind really be prated?
Additionally, did it really feel that good?
While thinking about this, he seemed to have gotten a little hard...
Physical needs could not be ignored, so he headed to the bathroom to rub one out. After he was done, Ji Liao believed that he had beenpletely bent. Previous thoughts of big-breasted goddesses were no longer of any help; it was He Cheng Mings husky and provocative voice that had made him shoot.
He had never thought that he could be into voices. Why was it so obvious now?
Sighing, he suddenly felt a little afraid that he had sunk too deep. If He Cheng Ming was really just ying with him, what would he do?
Ji Liao slumped onto his desk and didnt dare to think about it further.
The next day, Ji Liao once again had panda eyes when he left the house. When He Cheng Ming saw it, he couldnt help but ask, Went thievingst night?
Ji Liao didnt dare to tell him that he had stayed up all night to finish the book which had drained his body, causing him to nearly oversleep.
As expected, such a thing as desire ... needed to be stopped before going too far.
Nothing much. He said in a small voice.
Feeling sorry, He Cheng Ming let Ji Liao lean on him to take a nap after they boarded the bus. Ji Liao smelled the faint fragrance of his body, which instead prevented him from falling asleep. The more he cared, the less secure he felt. If only it could remain this way, he thought to himself.
Sensing the movements of unease from the person against him, He Cheng Ming turned his head. Ji Liao also happened to be looking at him and their gazes met. A faint spark was produced between them, and neither of them moved.
Are you trying to seduce me? He Cheng Ming said hoarsely after a moment of silence.
Ji Liao quickly shifted his gaze away but didnt deny it.
Little minx. He bent his head and said into his ear.
Ji Liao kept silent and simply closed his eyes, pretending to sleep. But He Cheng Ming noticed the tip of his ear was red. It was pink, delicate and extremely cute.
When the two of them reached school, Xu Xiao Jing pulled Ji Liao aside before he could enter the ssroom.
She was slightly embarrassed. Watching him as he tried to speak, but being unable to, she took a few deep breaths to gather sufficient courage before asking him, Ji Liao, have you seen my book?
That book was a collectors edition that she had just bought and she needed to get it back, or else she would feel like she had let her favourite author down.
Book? Ji Liao stared nkly at first then thought of that erotic story...surely it couldnt be Xu Xiao Jings?!
When he read itst night, he discovered a note with three words: Go for it!
Weird.
Its that book, Day and Night with the Bullying President. Xu Xiao Jing said softly, then took out another book. Actually, I wanted to give you this book, A Hundred Days of Husbands in Love, but I seemed to have given you the wrong book...
She felt very awkward. After all, the book about the president went beyond the normal scope and she didnt know if Ji Liao had read it. In any case, she was a girl and this mistake was really embarrassing!
What was more embarrassing was that, now, she had to get it back from Ji Liao!
Reportedly, there were several extra chapters in the collectors edition...
She had to get it back!
Ji Liao also felt very awkward. He quickly took the book out of his schoolbag and returned it to Xu Xiao Jing. As for the other book, he didnt want to ept it. It was too exciting and his body couldnt take it.
You dont want this book? This story is actually very sweet. Moreover, the character...
No, I dont want it. Ji Liao hurriedly interrupted Xu Xiao Jing and fled in a frightened manner.
Xu Xiao Jingughed. Why hadnt she realise before that Ji Liao was so cute? It was a pity that he had already been pried away by He Cheng Ming, or she would have definitely pursued Ji Liao!
She returned to her seat, and ss started shortly after.
Since the time he was scolded by the math teacher, Ji Liao paid close attention to ss, as he listened with fixed concentration. Near the end of ss, the math teacher came up with an expansion problem and asked the students to solve it on the spot.
He Cheng Ming had discussed this problem with him yesterday, so Ji Liao wrote the solution easily and clearly. When he was done, he realised that the teacher was standing next to him, and he seemed to be very satisfied as he asked him to write it on the ckboard.
Another student was also asked to the ckboard, who happened to be the ss monitor and best student of ss twelve, Lin Jia Sui.
The two of them used different methods, but it was obvious that Ji Liaos was simpler, and he was even praised by the math teacher.
After ss, Xu Xiao Jing casually pped him on the shoulder. Wow, Ji Liao. You amazed everyone with a single feat.
Ji Liao was normally unremarkable in ss. He was not used to the sudden attention on him.
Quickly, has group two handed in all theirposition books?! Besides being the ss monitor, Lin Jia Sui was also the sss Chinesenguage representative. For unknown reasons, she had suddenly attacked the group two leader.
Ji Liao and Xu Xiao Jing were in group two. The group leader checked their books, then looked at Ji Liao. Immediately, Ji Liao remembered that he had left the house in a hurry this morning and seemed to have forgotten hisposition book.
After a search, it turned out that he really didnt have it...
I forgot to bring it. He apologised.
Did you not bring it or notplete it? Lin Jia Sui had walked over with arge stack ofposition books in her arms and asked Ji Liao sarcastically.
Ji Liao: ... Did he provoke the monitor?
Xu Xiao Jing red up upon hearing this, and stood up for Ji Liao instantly. Lin Jia Sui, why are you being so arrogant? How can you have such malicious assumptions about your ssmate? He already said that he had forgotten to bring it. Cant you just record it? Who are you trying to mock by saying that?
When she finished, the entire ss fell silent. Not only Lin Jia Sui, but even Ji Liao was stunned.
Xu Xiao Jing didnt forget to finish with an eye roll. She had long disliked Lin Jia Sui; just because she was the ss monitor, she put on all kinds of airs and looked down on people. She had even said that Meng Yao Yao was just a pretty face behind her back. If not for Meng Yao Yao stopping her, she would have started a cat fight with Lin Jia Sui.
Chapter 27 - It Doesnt Matter as Long as I Like You
Chapter 27 - It Doesnt Matter as Long as I Like You
Lin Jia Sui didnt expect Xu Xiao Jing to show her dislike directly.
She had always been treated like a princess at home, doted on by her family members. In school, she had always been a monitor with good grades and good looks. Naturally, she was envied by her ssmates and cherished by the teachers. When had she ever been so publicly criticised?
Her face had turned red from Xu Xiao Jings words but she couldnt endure her tone of voice. Bracing herself, she said in a loud voice, Xu Xiao Jing, its none of your business! Did I say anything about you?!
Im righteous and awe-inspiring, so what if I cant stand seeing you make a mountain out of a molehill? So youre allowed to bully honest people, but Im not allowed to dislike you?!
Xu Xiao Jing, with both arms across her chest, seemed reasonable with her words.
The honest person, Ji Liao, was tangled up in the middle with a stupefied expression, unsure of why the two girls were quarrelling.
Will the two of you stop fighting? He tried to make peace in a low voice.
But both of them ignored him.
Lin Jia Sui was not a match for Xu Xiao Jing in this area of expertise. She was speechless, yet refused to admit defeat as she sneered, Xu Xiao Jing, dont tell me you like Ji Liao! This morning, I saw the two of you being sneaky in the corridor outside. Young love affair?!
As soon as this was said, the whole ss exploded; everyone had an unbelievable expression coupled with a look of sudden realisation. Pondering over recent events, Xu Xiao Jing seemed to have actually gotten closer to Ji Liao.
In her eyesight, Lin Jia Sui was relieved to see that everyone seemed more inclined to her side.
Oh, this is hrious. The few sentences I spoke to Ji Liao suggest love? Even with such thoughts and awareness, youre still the ss monitor. Really, Lin Jia Sui, I feel really embarrassed for you!
Xu Xiao Jingughed, and instead of getting angry or embarrassed for being exposed, she appeared arrogant and full of vigour, causing Lin Jia Sui to feel angry and aggrieved.
She didnt know how to react and was so anxious that her eyes became red. With a bang, she put down the books on Ji Liaos desk, and ran back to her seat with her head lowered as she cried.
The surrounding students reacted and went up tofort her.
Xu Xiao Jing disdainfully fired another shot. White lotus.
Ji Liao: &#k2026;
He noted that it would be better for him not to provoke Xu Xiao Jing in the future.
Since the ss monitor was scolded until she cried, this matter was reported. The form teacher immediately called the three of them to the office.
After understanding the situation, the form teacher looked at Ji Liao with a probing gaze. Two girls quarrelled because of him. The incident was suspicious, and could involve the problem of young love; she had no choice but to prevent it.
Finally, the two girls were dismissed while Ji Liao stayed behind to receive some guidance.
Ji Liao felt wronged. He had only forgotten to bring hisposition book and obviously didnt do anything wrong, but he somehow became the main culprit.
At the other end of the office, Lin Jiang was also enduring an admonishment C he was caught sleeping in ss again. s, he sighed internally and felt that the ssroom regtions were getting stricter.
Bored, he looked around and saw Ji Liao, then heard Ji Liaos form teacher advising him not to start dating too early. His ears perked up immediately. What? Two girls quarrelled over him?!
What the hell?!
Lin Jiang felt like he had just witnessed something big. He didnt expect Ji Liaos market value to be so high! Wrong. Wasnt Ji Liao together with Ming Ge? Then, did this mean Ming Ge was...being cheated on?!
Lin Jiang was shocked. He quickly admitted his mistake to the teacher and rushed back to the ssroom.
Ming Ge! His voice reached before he did.
He Cheng Ming was used to him making a fuss about nothing, and didnt bat an eyelid.
Lin Jiang clicked his tongue, then ran to him. Do you know who I just saw in the office? Ji Liao!
He Cheng Ming gained interest and looked at him.
I heard Ji Liaos form teacher say that Ji Liao was involved in an early affair! The other person was a friend of Meng Yao Yaos who joined us at the KTV. What was her name? Oh yeah, Xu Xiao Jing!
Lin Jiang spoke excitedly but He Cheng Mings face was cold, and his originally calm eyes were stormy.
Lin Jiang didnt notice and continued vividly, And Lin Jia Sui from their ss. The two girls quarrelled over Ji Liao! Fuck, what a dramatic...
Before he could say show, Lin Jiang was frightened by He Cheng Mings dangerous expression. He swallowed hard and bolted.
He Cheng Mings face was ashen, but he remained silent like the calm before the storm. The students in ss two seemed to have sensed his bad mood as they moved away to avoid him.
With difficulty, he endured until sses were over. Then, he sent a message to Ji Liao asking him to wait for him at the library.
Ji Liao went obediently, but the moment he saw He Cheng Ming, he felt that something wasnt quite right.
Are you angry? He asked ignorantly.
He Cheng Ming didnt answer him; he grabbed his hand and headed inside. Once he found a deserted spot, he pressed against him.
This move was too sudden and Ji Liao pushed him in reflex. Instead, he was pressed against even harder, and he couldnt help but retort in anger, Let me go!
His mood reached its limit, and his heart was full of grievances. Why should he be bullied like this?!
He Cheng Ming leaned down and strongly imprisoned him in his arms, then begged in a low voice, Let me hold you for a moment, just a moment. It felt like holding Ji Liao was the only way to make him feel at ease.
Only heaven knew how scared he was when Lin Jiang told him about Ji Liao and someone else being involved in a rtionship. He was afraid that those few days of bliss were fake C he was afraid that Ji Liao would, in the end, discover that he preferred girls.
He had always been confident. Only with Ji Liao was he as humble as dust.
Lifting his chin, He Cheng Ming pounced on his lips in a domineering manner, grinding against them more forcefully than any other time. Ji Liao frowned deeply, but didnt resist him any more. He just epted it silently, then learned to respond.
He Cheng Ming was very happy C so happy that he almost smothered him, and it was not until thest second did he finally release him.
Say you like me, Ji Liao. Say you like me. He breathed into his ear, inducing him to speak.
Ji Liao breathed heavily. His ears heard but his mouth didnt respond.
Why wont you say it? He Cheng Ming propped himself up and asked uneasily.
Ji Liao avoided his gaze. He didnt want to say it. Those words were thest retreating path he had left for himself. Even if they broke up, even if he was tricked, at least he could retain a trace of dignity.
He Cheng Ming thought he wouldnt say it because he still didnt like him.
It doesnt matter as long as I like you.
He said it to Ji Liao as well as to himself.
He hugged Ji Liao and buried his head into his neck, breathing in the clean and fresh scent of his body.
Ji Liao felt a little guilty; he hesitated for a moment, then poked He Cheng Mings shoulder. When He Cheng Ming raised his head, Ji Liao blinked, pursed his lips and kissed him on the mouth.
He thought to himself, this should be very clear. He allowed He Cheng Ming to kiss and hug him, and now he had taken the initiative. Wasnt his meaning clear enough?
He Cheng Ming was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, Why, addicted? Want to do it again?
Ji Liao: ...
Chapter 28 - Youre Killing Me
Chapter 28 - Youre Killing Me
When he came home that night, Xu Ai Wen had not yet returned.
Ji Liao warmed his food and had a casual meal. After he was done, he looked at the time: it was eight.
He did an hour of homework, then sat on the sofa to watch television. When he threw away a piece of tissue paper, he realised that the trash bin was full and got up to clear it. Carrying the bag of trash, he went downstairs to throw it away.
By this time, the sky was already very dark. The corridor was quiet except for the sound of his footsteps.
Walking out of the residential building, Ji Liao threw the trash into the trash can. When he was about to walk away, the ring lights of a car approached from a distance and stopped in front of his building.
An impably-dressed man emerged from the car. He walked around the car and opened the door for the woman in the front passenger seat like a gentleman. Ji Liao saw his mother, Xu Ai Wen, stepping out of the luxurious car.
The two of them stood and talked for a while before the man drove away.
He suddenly remembered that not too long ago, Xu Ai Wen had asked him if it was okay for her to find him a stepfather.
Was this the man she had found to be his future stepfather?
Ji Liao dropped his head and left, feeling that the guy could not evenpare to a strand of Ji Qing Wens hair.
Walking out of the neighbourhood, he felt the nights temperature had declined sharply. He was only wearing a thin sweater and the cold wind made him shiver.
Touching his pocket, Ji Liao wanted to take out his phone and call He Cheng Ming, but he realised that he didnt bring his phone down and was slightly upset.
Blindly walking one round, he decided to go back.
Xu Ai Wen saw himing back and asked in a concerned voice, Tang Tang, were you throwing out the trash? She had noticed that the bag of the trash bin in the living room had been changed.
Ji Liao replied with a hum, his expression as usual, then silently went into his room.
He closed the door, and as soon as he saw the phone on his bed light up, he went over to pick it up. It was a message from He Cheng Ming: Want to watch a movie tomorrow? Miss you baby.
Tomorrow was Saturday.
Ji Liao replied to him: Okay.
A rare straightforward reply.
He Cheng Ming was overwhelmed: What type of movie would you like to watch? Ill book the tickets.
Ji Liao didnt reply but called him instead. The phone call was quickly epted.
Baby? He Cheng Mings voice sounded pleasantly surprised. He never expected Ji Liao to call him.
Hearing what he was being called, made Ji Liao a little embarrassed, and he paused for a moment before changing the subject. What are you doing?
He Cheng Mingughed as he answered him. Thinking of you.
Ji Liao flushed, not knowing what to say. The long stretch of silence made it slightly awkward.
Did something happen? He Cheng Ming seemed to sense something and inquired.
Ji Liao said in a bored tone, Nothing much. Finally, he blurted out, I kind of feel like seeing you.
It was quiet for a long time C so long that Ji Liao thought that the other boy had hung up. He tapped on his phone screen to check if the line was still connected.
He Cheng Ming? He called out tentatively.
After a while, some noise transmitted and he said, Im leaving now. Wait for me.
Ah? Ji Liao was shocked. What did he mean? Was heing over to look for him?!
I was just saying it. Dont actuallye over! He said hurriedly.
Looking at the time, it was almost ten!
He Cheng Ming had just left the house when a taxi passed by and was gged down by him. He gave the driver Ji Liaos address, then sat down.
Its toote. He Cheng Ming said with a smile on his face.
From the rearview mirror, the driver saw that the boy was on the phone. His appearance was strict but he smiled very tenderly, from which the driver guessed that there was an 80% chance that he was going on a date with his girlfriend. So, he thoughtfully stepped on the elerator and drove a bit quicker.
He Cheng Ming lifted his head and nced at the driver, then reported to Ji Liao, Ill arrive in about twenty minutes.
When the driver heard, he promised loudly, I only need fifteen minutes!
He Cheng Mingughed and asked Ji Liao over the phone, Did you hear that?
Ji Liao couldnt care less what time he arrived at as he carelessly draped a coat over himself and rushed downstairs.
He walked to the bus stop; the surroundings were very dark, so he chose to stand in a conspicuous spot under a streetmp and waited for He Cheng Ming, feeling chilled to the bone.
From afar, He Cheng Ming spotted Ji Liao. The tall, thin figure was bathed in orange-yellow light and looked rather lonely, and it made He Cheng Ming feel like encircling him fiercely with his arms, then telling him that he would always be by his side.
He told the driver to stop at the side, then once he paid and got off and headed towards Ji Liao in quick strides.
He Cheng Ming stood in front of him, his mouth breathing out faint puffs of white air.
Ji Liao looked up, and at that moment, he was very emotionally affected.
Struck dumb? He Cheng Ming bent down and looked at him.
It was the first awakening of love for Ji Liao. Since it was his first time dating, how could he withstand an attack like this where He Cheng Ming would appear when he called? He was deeply moved, so he just said softly, Youre the dumb one.
He Cheng Mingughed and opened his arms towards Ji Liao. Well, is there a reward?
Ji Liao took two steps forward, but before his arms could enclose He Cheng Mings body, a rush of warmth surrounded him.
He hugged his waist.
Satisfied, He Cheng Ming rubbed the back of Ji Liaos head.
How are things at home? He Cheng Ming didnt forget to ask about the situation at hand.
When they had left school, Ji Liao was still fine. Since it had only been a few hours, it could only mean that something had happened at home which had made him unhappy.
My mother found me a stepfather. Ji Liao felt the other boys powerful heartbeat and continued in a muffled voice, But I dont wish for my mother to remarry.
This was a very private matter, but being inclined to tell him showed that he had grown to trust him.
He Cheng Ming tightened his arms and tried to ease his anxiety, Your father isnt around and auntie is a woman. She needs to take care of you as well as her own parents and your fathers parents. That is a lot of pressure.
He was reminding Ji Liao that if Xu Ai Wen remained single, it would be very hard on her.
Ji Liao felt that something was off and his mind scrambled to find it. He questioned, How do you know that my father isnt around anymore?
He had only said, My mother found me a stepfather, which could also imply that the situation was the result of a divorce. How did He Cheng Ming determine that Ji Qing Wen wasnt around anymore?
He felt an obvious start from the other boy, and Ji Liao walked out of his embrace.
I know about your father. I found out when I was asking around about you. He Cheng Ming exined.
Ji Liao felt that this was believable, and returned an Oh before starting a slow walk.
He Cheng Ming heaved a sigh of relief and followed. Because he was feeling guilty, he didnt dare to hold Ji Liaos hand.
The two of them walked for a long time and didnt have anything to talk about, but neither wanted to separate from the other.
It became darker. Ji Liao felt that it was finally time to go back, so He Cheng Ming returned him to his building. He had behaved like a gentleman tonight, but Ji Liao really wanted to kiss him. He hesitated and didnt leave, instead, he stared nkly at him.
Ji Liao, Ive told you before. Dont show that kind of expression in front of me. He Cheng Mings voice was hoarse and he was seduced to the point of losing his soul.
Ji Liao continued to stare at him, thinking, you better be quick!
After waiting for a while, only to realise that He Cheng Ming was still restraining himself, Ji Liao simply walked up and stood on his tiptoes, attempting to kiss him.
But...why was he so tall?! He still couldnt reach his lips after standing on his tiptoes...
Ji Liaos face flushed bright red and he stood awkwardly in ce; his eyes wandered wildly, not daring to look at him.
Youre killing me.
He Cheng Ming bent his head and bit Ji Liaos mouth. Ji Liao was unexpectedly spontaneous. Their lips and teeth met and were unwilling to separate.
He was too passionate tonight and was slightly unable to resist. Feeling himself rising gradually, He Cheng Ming had no choice but to release Ji Liao and allow himself to calm down.
Ji Liao also sensed his situation, and to avoid being eaten up cleanly, he fled.
Chapter 29 - Snow White and Pale Red
Chapter 29 - Snow White and Pale Red
The central public square on Saturday was very crowded.
Ji Liao got off the bus and immediately spotted the person waiting for him in the crowd. When he thought of the kiss that he wantedst night and the other boys reaction, his face felt slightly hot.
Reaching homest night, he realised that he had done many extreme and daring things, even being courageous enough to seduce He Cheng Ming!
After his enticement, the originally empty ce in his heart had been filled to the brim, and this he did not regret.
Trotting over, he saw that Lin Jiang was also here, and beside him was Gu Ming Ren!
Lin Jiang had sharp eyes and upon seeing him, he called out to him enthusiastically, Ji Liao!
Finally, there was someone he could talk to.
Lin Jiang had been miserable. He was invited by Gu Ming Ren to watch a movie, saying something along the lines about tickets for two being half their individual price. Oh please, would he, the young master of the magnificent Gu family, care about these few dors?
After realising that he had been duped, he wanted to return home immediately. But Gu Ming Ren threatened to pick on his school uniform regtions and to have him write a daily review if he dared to leave.
Fuck his life. In any case, he was still He Cheng Mings younger brother. Out of deference, should Gu Ming Ren be going this far as to do this to him?
Moreover, why would two guys watch a movie together? They werent engaging in any homosexual practices. Weird.
Just when they were stuck in a standoff, he saw He Cheng Ming like a bright and shining saviour. Lin Jiang ran over eagerly to greet him, Ming Ge! What are you doing here?
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows upon seeing him, then Gu Ming Ren appeared in his line of sight with a dark expression, and he understood atst.
Watching a movie, he said expressionlessly.
Lin Jiang was overjoyed. Im also watching a movie! Ming Ge, which one?
He Cheng Ming was annoyed. He gave Gu Ming Ren a meaningful look, signaling him to take Lin Jiang away and to not interfere with his date with Ji Liao.
Gu Ming Ren feigned ignorance as he knew that the excuse he had made up was too weak to deceive Lin Jiang. This was just right. With He Cheng Ming around, he would not need to fear that this son of a bitch would run away again.
Such a coincidence. Lets watch together? He came over and asked.
He Cheng Ming looked at him and let out augh, I didnt think that you, Gu Ming Ren, would have such a perfect day.
Yes, yes, Ming Ge, lets watch together. Lin Jiang was afraid of Gu Ming Rens hidden agenda; he always felt that Gu Ming Ren had no good intentions towards him. Now that he saw He Cheng Ming, who was like family to him, he couldnt leave him.
No, I have an appointment. He Cheng Ming refused coldly. It was his first time watching a movie with Ji Liao and he didnt want two third wheels nearby.
He turned around, eager to walk away, but Gu Ming Ren held his shoulder and gave a bitterugh, Help me out.
This was somewhat unexpected to He Cheng Ming. Recalling from memory, this was Gu Ming Rens first time asking him for help. ncing at Lin Jiang, who was straighter than a steel bar, He Cheng Ming felt that Gu Ming Ren was in a more difficult position than him. So, he decided to be a good guy and agreed.
Since then, the three of them had waited for Ji Liao.
When Ji Liao arrived, Lin Jiang kept pestering him. Although, from time to time, his Ming Ge would throw daggers at him with his eyes, butpared to being with Gu Ming Ren, he would rather take the eye daggers, which was at least, to him, a means of survival.
Arriving at the cinema, He Cheng Ming went to collect the tickets. He had originally booked the entire theatre, but after an exnation to the ticketing personnel, he received four tickets: Ji Liao and him were located in thest row while Lin Jiang and Gu Ming Ren were in the middle.
Lin Jiangs face turned green when he saw the tickets. He stammered, This...can this be changed?
He Cheng Ming red at him. Why? Do you want to sit between me and Ji Liao?
Of course he didnt dare to, thus Lin Jiang obediently kept silent.
Beside him, Gu Ming Ren was very angry. He deeply suspected that Lin Jiang had a tendency to be abused; He Cheng Ming was always unkind to him, but he still followed him around like a fool.
It really made him feel fucking stifled.
He was cold towards Lin Jiang, but towards Ji Liao, He Cheng Ming changed his expression and asked him gently, What do you want to eat?
Ji Liao shook his head. He felt that the atmosphere seemed strange, but he didnt dare to say anything.
The four of them sat in the hall to wait.
Since He Cheng Ming was near his sweetheart, he thought of his enthusiasm fromst night and felt a little restless. He took Ji Liaos hand and pinched it, then whispered into his ear, Baby, why were you so eagerst night?
Ji Liao blushed until his ears were red and red at He Cheng Ming, causing him to let out a flirtatiousugh.
Soon, the staff told them to enter.
He Cheng Ming held Ji Liaos hand naturally before heading inside. Behind them, Lin Jiang was surprised to witness this, but Gu Ming Ren was so envious, he wanted to beat the son of a bitch beside him to death.
Inside the theatre, Lin Jiang was shocked. Fuck, how could it all be couple seats?!
But once he remembered that the tickets were bought by He Cheng Ming, he could only suppress his sullenness.
Sigh, it was really a miscalction.
Ji Liao, too, had not expected him to buy tickets for a couple theatre. He was in a delicate mood. On one hand, he felt that it was a bit pretentious for two boys to sit in a couple seat; but on the other hand, they were a couple, so it should be natural for them to sit in a couple seat.
Fortunately, the movie started at once, attracting Ji Liaos attention.
This was a science fiction movie, but after around half an hour into the story, the movie shifted to a detailed plot...between two guys???
Ji Liao had a muddled expression on his face and shifted his gaze away, but was met with He Cheng Mings burning stare towards him.
The movie theatre was dark, and the light from the big screen reflected on his face, changing randomly from shade to shade. Apanied by a gasping sound from the movie, Ji Liao saw his Adams apple move.
He was slightly tempted, but from in front, there was a sudden sound. Fuck!
It was Lin Jiangs voice.
The atmosphere between the two of them was suddenly disrupted.
He Cheng Ming could feel his temples throbbing, and he itched to drag that brat, Lin Jiang, out for a beating immediately.
An hour and a halfter, the movie ended.
When the cinemas lights came on, Ji Liao noticed that Lin Jiangs expression was very unnatural and that his mouth was a little red. This indication...his heart thumped and he looked at Gu Ming Ren as if he understood.
Crazy! Lin Jiang left cursing and Gu Ming Ren followed with a sombre expression.
When the two figures disappeared, He Cheng Ming realised that his date had just started.
Ji Liao asked in shock, Gu Ming Ren likes guys too?
He Cheng Ming hummed in reply, then took his hand to leave.
Then, how about Lin Jiang?
He doesnt. With that, he was more inclined to feel that his current situation with Ji Liao had not been easy to achieve.
When the two of them reached the street, their appearance attracted attention. Ji Liao recoiled from the unfamiliar, prying looks he wanted to withdraw his hand, but it was held tightly by the other boy.
The passersbys gazes burned him. Stopping by a KFC dessert stand, Ji Liao bought himself an ice cream to cool himself down, licking it in small mouthfuls.
Snow white and pale red met. He Cheng Ming felt an uncontroble itch in his heart and wanted a taste of his tongue as well.
Do you want to have some? Ji Liao saw him looking and held up the ice cream.
He Cheng Ming smirked. I only want to eat you.
Ji Liao pretended not to hear and withdrew his hand but was pinched on the wrist by him. Then, he took a bite where Ji Liao had just licked.
Sweet. Ji Liao didnt know if he was referring to the ice cream or him.
Chapter 30 - He Caused That Incident
Chapter 30 - He Caused That Incident
Ji Liao changed the subject. Where do we go now?
It was still early as it was only three in the afternoon.
Do you have anywhere you want to go?
He Cheng Ming had not nned anything further. As long as he was with the person in front of him, he would be satisfied regardless of where they went or what they did.
Yes.
An idea shed through Ji Liaos mind.
He used to visit that ce often, but ever since Ji Qing Wen passed away, he had never gone there again.
Qing Zhi Mountain. Do you know that ce? He finished thest mouthful of ice cream and looked at him with limpid eyes.
He Cheng Mings expression stiffened momentarily and there was a flicker in his gaze before it quickly returned to normal. He nodded, then hesitantly said, Its a bit far.
The journey there would take about an hour and a half. Moreover, it was remote and difficult to return from.
Anyway, we still have plenty of time. Shall we? Ji Liao seemed to have made a firm decision.
Often, hecked the courage as he was afraid that if he went there, he would fall apart; and was afraid that if he came back toote, Xu Ai Wen would worry. He always had a lot of misgivings, which he used as an excuse to avoid facing Ji Qing Wens departure. But right now, He Cheng Ming was with him, so he felt slightly more at ease and wanted to depend on that boys strength to go straight to the heart of the matter.
He Cheng Ming couldnt bear to reject him, so he murmured, Okay.
They boarded a bus after buying their tickets at the intercity bus station.
During the bumpy ride, Ji Liao looked out of the window at the familiar scenery with a heavy heart.
Along the way, He Cheng Ming held his hand with a guarded secret hidden deep in his eyes. His heart rate gradually increased and he became afraid.
Qing Zhi Mountain was the ce where Ji Qing Wen had previously built vis for some rich people. The most luxurious one there belonged to a family with thest name He.
He Cheng Ming pinched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb.
Are you feeling unwell? Ji Liao noticed his sickly appearance. He had been born to the rich and powerful, and was meticulously taken care of since young &#k2014; this should be the first time he took an oundish bus like this with such a strong odour.
Yeah. He Cheng Ming didnt hide it. He tilted his head to rub against Ji Liaos shoulder while looking miserable and powerless.
Suddenly, he straightened his head, and without warning, pecked Ji Liaos crooked smile.
Ji Liao: ...
But he didnt scold him.
He Cheng Ming cheered up and his heart filled with sweetness, diluting his earlier bitterness.
He changed his posture and held Ji Liao intimately, the scent of his shower gel prating his nose. It was so intoxicating that it felt like he had been bewitched, causing He Cheng Ming to rub against him again and again.
It was a long journey and it would be a waste if they didnt do anything.
When they arrived at Qing Zhi Mountain, it was almost evening. Fortunately, it was still bright.
When they alighted from the bus, Ji Liao breathed a sigh of relief. He couldnt figure out why He Cheng Ming was always so insatiable even though they were both boys he was always trying to take advantage of him, whether it was his mouth or hand, one of the two was always in action.
Not far away, there were vis which had been built during thest three years, but the houses on the left and right were obviously not modelled by the same architect. Ji Qing Wen designed the ones on the left, but he didnt know who designed the ones on the right.
As Ji Liao approached, his memory became clearer.
There was a veryrge stone. That year, the summer was very hot and he ofteny on top to cool off while watching the workers mixing cement nearby.
Ji Liao stopped and He Cheng Ming automatically held his arm.
This row of vis was built by my father. Ji Liaos tone was slightly proud, but it couldnt hide his sadness. But there was an ident in thest one.
Ji Liao walked over. Ji Qing Wen probably died around here. It was said that the foundation was almost finished, and he had gone onto the upper beams to check the extent of itspletion. In the end, he had fallen and smashed into the cement pit that was prepared for the construction of the swimming pool.
Ji Liaos eyes turned red and his pupils dted.
He Cheng Mings heart broke for him and he quickly pulled him into his arms.
He remembered that incident. Ji Qing Wen had died on the spot, and as a result, he started suffering from insomnia. He couldnt sleep for entire nights and didnt dare to see Ji Liao again.
He caused that incident.
Looking at the person with reddened eyes in his arms, he closed his eyes in disappointment.
The winter days were short. Just after five, the sky began to darken.
Once they both recovered their senses, they headed down the mountain, only to be told that thest bus had just left.
The area was remote and it was very difficult to find a taxi. Ji Liao was silent. So...did they have to spend the night together?
Actually, just up on the mountain was He Cheng Mings house, but he couldnt bring Ji Liao there, so he brought him to a cheap hotel nearby.
The hotels bossdy nced at them, clicked her mouse, then said in a routine voice, Standard room, 180.
He Cheng Ming paid while Ji Liao turned away to call Xu Ai Wen. He refused to say that he had gone to Qing Zhi Mountain, so instead, he told her that he was at Yu Jins house and that she shouldnt worry.
When He Cheng Ming heard the name, Yu Jin, he arched an eyebrow and noted it down. Someone who could make Xu Ai Wen feel at ease must have a special rtionship with Ji Liao.
They took their card key and went to their room.
Although there were two beds, they were still alone together in a room. Ji Liao was slightly ufortable and sat rigidly.
He Cheng Ming didnt care but seeing the other boy being so careful, he couldnt resist the urge to scare him.
Want to take a bath, baby?
He deliberately lowered his voice, enunciating every word in a flirtatious manner. He walked over to sit beside Ji Liao, then pressed half of his body onto him, adopting a posture of wanting to kiss him.
Dont. Ji Liao retreated but the other boy continued to approach. Finally, he was forced against the head of the bed and had no choice but to use his arm as a barrier between the two of them.
His damp eyes looked at He Cheng Ming.
Exactly like a little rabbit that could elicit someones pity for them.
He Cheng Ming felt his throat dry. He had only wanted to scare him, but now he wanted to turn the act into a reality.
His actions were faster than his thoughts, already covering the other boys mouth with kisses, then afterwards, he began to travel down his neck.
It was possible that being alone together in a hotel under a sensitive mood, and in addition to He Cheng Mings handsome face that was filled with lust, made it difficult for him to refuse. Ji Liao couldnt help but let out a groan, arousing He Cheng Mings desire.
Pushing him down, He Cheng Ming knelt beside him and lowered his head for a wet kiss. Ji Liao gripped the bed sheet anxiously, sensing a hand reaching into his waist with an uncontroble heat.
Before he could respond, his sweater was pushed to his chest. He Cheng Ming rose and stared at him.
Ji Liao felt shameful under his scrutinizing gaze and turned his head away.
He Cheng Mingughed softly, then kissed his face and got up.
He walked into the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water was heard.
Ji Liao hugged the quilt and rolled around twice. He was embarrassed. If the other boy hadnt stopped, wouldnt he have been eaten tonight?!
But...
Looking down at his crotch, he sighed. Towards that person, he also felt desire.
Hard? He Cheng Ming hade out and was looking at where Ji Liaos gaze was directed towards.
In a state of shock, Ji Liao quicklyy on his stomach, not wanting to be seen by him.
Darling, dont crush it. He Cheng Ming said seriously, righting his body.
Ji Liaos face reddened. He sat up and ran into the bathroom.
He took a bath and when he came out, he saw He Cheng Ming lying on the other bed.
Turning off the lights, both of them fell asleep.
Chapter 31 - I Accidentally Knocked into Something Myself
Chapter 31 - I identally Knocked into Something Myself
On Monday, the ss was in full swing as they discussed the uing three on three basketball match.
Last year, the team that ss twelve had sent included, the P.E. representative Li You Xin, the noisy Chen Li Wen, the tall Yu Jin, and the useless substitute Ji Liao.
But this year, since Yu Jin wanted to study art and didnt have time to train, he voluntarily gave up his ce. After careful consideration, Ji Liao was chosen to rece his position while another substitute would be selectedter.
When Ji Liao was informed of the news, he was caught by surprise. Then, after acknowledging it, he went to look for Yu Jin.
Have you decided to go? He asked urgently with a hint of reluctance.
After all, Yu Jin was his only good friend in the ss.
Lets go and buy some bread first. Im starving. Yu Jin slung his arm around Ji Liaos neck and pulled him sloppily over to the kiosk.
Didnt I tell you about it before? Plus, my mother wants me to go. Do I have a choice? He was smiling, and it didnt look like he had been forced.
With that, he gave Ji Liao a crafty look. Why? Are you having a hard time parting with me?
His expression was exaggerated as if he had discovered a huge startling secret!
Ji Liao gave him a vicious kick on the shin. What bullshit!
Yu Jinughed. It was rare to hear him swear, and he felt that it was worth it to be kicked.
I know what youre worried about, he said. But I think you have changed a lot recently. Arent you getting along well with He Cheng Ming and Lin Jiang? You should make more friends.
He pped his own thigh and asked nervously, How about Xu Xiao Jing? Are the two of you really dating in secrecy?
On the day Xu Xiao Jing had quarrelled with Lin Jia Sui, he had requested for a leave of absence to register for the art ss. But once he heard about it, he was shocked.
Ji Liao looked at him, speechless. How is that possible?
He had already been bent by He Cheng Ming!
Thats good!
Yu Jin was relieved. Why? He couldnt think of an absolute reason but if he had to consider one, it was probably because he couldnt allow Ji Liao to shed his single status earlier than him. Agreeing to be single together, but secretly holding hands with another, this type of feeling was too sour and it felt like being cheated on.
Actually, I... Ji Liao was about to confess his current situation between himself and He Cheng Ming, but Yu Jin interrupted him. Hey, what do you want to eat?
The two of them had arrived at the kiosk.
Ji Liao pointed to one at random. Yu Jin said to the boss, I want two of that kind.
They ate on the way back to ss.
After losing the opportunity, Ji Liao could no longer find the right words, thus the confession passed them by in silence.
That evening, Ji Liao and his teammates went to the basketball court to practise.
In fact, his technique was all right. Although he looked weak, he had good explosive power. After several games, his two teammates became more relieved.
At this time, four students from ss six came to practise. But there was only one court. Following the firste-first-serve rule, Ji Liao had no reason to give it up.
The students from ss six were not happy. A basketball was flung towards him, but Ji Liao sidestepped it.
Everyone stopped and faced each other.
Gao Sheng was the ss six gang leader. In their level, besides He Cheng Ming, no one wanted to provoke him.
It wasnt because he was strong, but because he was mean. Despite there being many others who fought better than him, they still didnt want to confront him. He imed to have a bad life with barely anyone left in his family. When he fought, he let himself go as if he was ying with his own life. No one could help but be somewhat intimidated.
Youve practised long enough, havent you? Is it even necessary though? I remember your ss ranked second or third fromst cest year? But you were eliminated too early so I cant really remember. Gao Shengs face was full of disdain and he flicked away some earwax with his pinkie. In his eyes, ss twelve was a sissy ss. None of them could fight they were a bunch of weak chickens.
What fucking business is it of yours on how we ranked?! Chen Li Wen was short-tempered and also had a nasty mouth. He couldnt bear it and hollered.
Gao Sheng nced at him and mocked, Oh, isnt this Chen Li Wen who was beaten up by He Cheng Mingst year and ended up in the hospital for three days? Do you want to be admitted to the hospital again this year? Want to let Ge help you aplish that?
My Ge bought a watchst year. Dont know if youve bought it or not. What Chen Li Wen hated the most was when this matter was brought up. He had already exined it a million times he had fallen off a bicyclest year but no one fucking believed him!
Gao Sheng was furious. He cursed and pulled up his sleeves but was held back by his teammate, who reminded him softly, Sheng Ge, your name has already been recorded twice. If you get into another fight, youll be expelled!
Gao Sheng spat and gave them a vicious look, then left with a chuckle.
Chen Li Wen was relieved. Knowing that he had provoked the boy, he didnt dare to use the main entrance after practice, instead, he slipped away through the side gate.
Li You Xin had a narrow escape since he left with two friends.
Therefore, Ji Liao was the only one who was intercepted in a small alleyway.
Ji Liao knew that he was innocent, but he had no choice. They had surrounded him, so he couldnt run away nor participate in the fight.
Fortunately, Ji Qing Wen had let him learn some free fighting moves when he was younger. Plus, he looked weak, thus his opponents underestimated him and identally let him escape. But in the end, he still suffered a punch at the corner of his mouth.
Back home, he refused to have dinner to avoid Xu Ai Wen and prevent her from worrying. He hid in his room and ate some biscuits, just enough to fill his stomach.
The next day, he left for school extra early.
He had managed to avoid Xu Ai Wen, but he couldnt avoid He Cheng Ming.
He Cheng Ming noticed the deep red scab that had formed on the corner of Ji Liaos mouth, and it felt like his heart was bleeding. His eyes were gloomy and his jaw tightened as if he was making a great effort to endure it.
Who did it? He held Ji Liaos chin and asked him angrily.
Ji Liao pped his hand away and replied guiltily, It was my fault. I identally knocked into something myself.
He Cheng Mingsugh sounded hollow. He had been in more fights than the amount of rice he had eaten. Whether it was from a fight or not, could he not tell the difference?
Seeing that Ji Liao would not say anymore, he didnt continue to investigate further. But he recorded this debt in his heart, determined to let that person repay it a hundred times. The person in his heart was so cherished by him, and yet someone dared to hurt him.
Does it still hurt? He brushed his thumb around the scab, fearing that it would hurt him.
Ji Liao shook his head. It stopped hurting a long time ago. Its just a small injury.
He said it nonchntly, but it still pricked He Cheng Mings heart as he listened, and his anger simmered.
Ji Liao noticed the tense atmosphere and pulled him away quickly. Seeing the cold expression on the boys face, he took the initiative to hold his hand, and with a smile, he shared the news of his participation in the three on three basketball match.
When He Cheng Ming thought of thest time he saw Ji Liao ying basketball, which had revealed his slim waist, he advised him, Wear more clothes.
Huh? Ji Liao didnt understand his concern he thought it might be because of the recent cold weather.
So he answered sweetly, Okay.
He gave a vivid smile, but it pulled at the wound on his mouth, forcing him to inhale sharply.
Chapter 32 - Let Me Hear You Call Me Daddy
Chapter 32 - Let Me Hear You Call Me Daddy
He Cheng Ming made a tsk sound in response and didnt let him say anything else.
Ji Liao shut his mouth obediently, and the two of them fell silent.
Suddenly, a grumbling sound emerged from his tummy, and Ji Liao remembered that he hadnt had much to eat sincest night and was now starving.
You didnt have breakfast? He Cheng Ming frowned. First, he had been punched. Now, he wasnt even feeding himself properly?!
I was too anxious to see you and forgot to eat, haha. Ji Liao was quick-witted and grinned while trying to y dumb. But his expression was very unnatural and he was obviously trying to endure the pain of his injury.
When He Cheng Ming saw this, he was upset and angry, but all he could say was, No moreughing!
Ji Liao pouted and kept quiet.
When they got off the bus together, He Cheng Ming asked Ji Liao to go ahead. Ji Liao nodded, then his eyes scanned the surroundings before going to buy two steamed buns. When he arrived at his ss, he found Chen Li Wen and Li You Xin waiting for him.
Seeing the scab on Ji Liaos mouth, they knew that he had been retaliated against and felt indignant.
When they leftst night, they had forgotten to inform Ji Liao that Gao Sheng was someone who had an extremely low level of magnanimity. If he couldnt get his way within the school, then he would surely hinder them outside the school, so they had to be careful.
But they didnt expect them to move so quickly and take action against Ji Liao that very night.
Chen Li Wen was quite upset since he was the culprit who had stirred up the situation, but someone else had paid for it in his stead. So he said in righteous indignation, Damn Gao Sheng, that son of a bitch, how dare he beat someone!
Many times, he had also talked big e on, fight me but they were all just words. It was a figure of speech C he would never actually take action if he still wanted to attend school!
But he had never expected that scum, Gao Sheng, to have done it.
Li You Xin sighed and asked if Ji Liao was all right. Seeing how weak his appearance was, Li You Xin thought that he must have been pressed against the ground and felt an odd sympathy.
Ji Liao waved his hands. Im okay. Ill just need to be more careful next time.
He didnt want to make a big deal out of this matter, afraid that it would spread to Xu Ai Wen and cause her to worry.
Right then, He Cheng Mings voice came from the door. Ji Liao,e out for a bit.
Ji Liao turned around, and when he saw He Cheng Ming, it felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. Why did hee directly to ss to look for him?! He apologised to Chen Li Wen and Li You Xin, then ran out, so flustered that he had forgotten to put down the bun he was clutching.
He Cheng Ming nced at his hand, then frowned and said unhappily, Youre eating a bun. Are you sure you can open your mouth?
With that, he handed over the seafood porridge he had just bought. After all, liquid food was easier to consume.
Ji Liaos lips curved. Although he felt that the other boy was making a fuss over nothing, his heart still warmed. The feeling of being taken care of was really satisfying and sweet.
Then what do I do with this? He indicated the bun he was carrying.
Throw it away. He Cheng Ming said casually.
Huh? Isnt that a waste? Ji Liao touched the bag and felt a little unwilling. It was still warm.
He Cheng Mingughed, exasperated. The two buns were only a few dors, but look at how his baby reacted! Pinching his cute and earnest face, he took the bag and said helplessly, Then Ill take it and let Lin Jiang eat it.
Ji Liao agreed and the two of them exchanged food.
Returning to his ss, He Cheng Ming threw the bag to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang was overwhelmed, but in addition to the fact that he hadnt eaten breakfast, he bit into it happily.
After he finished eating, He Cheng Ming asked him to find out who had assaulted Ji Liaost night.
Lin Jiang was reputed to have remarkable abilities. From asking around, he found out that Gao Sheng had fought with someonest night but didnt get good results. Instead, he got kicked in the stomach, which angered him so much, he had let it be known that if he didnt make that person kneel down and call him Daddy, hisst name wasnt Gao!
When He Cheng Ming was notified about this, he let out a ha and his eyebrows raised slightly, exuding a terrifying ferocity.
So, it was Gao Sheng, that son of a bitch.
Lin Jiang shivered beside him. He hadnt seen this ruthless expression on He Cheng Mings face for a very long time!
When ss was over, Gao Sheng was called to the basketball court.
Before he could even get a good look at the person once he had reached the court, he was kicked on the shoulder. It caused him to stumble two steps backwards before he managed to stabilise himself. He uttered Fuck, then the person hit the back of his knees. Both of his legs went weak and he knelt down.
Angrily gritting his teeth, Gao Sheng lifted his head. He saw He Cheng Ming with both hands in his pockets, towering over him with an indifferent expression as if he was looking at a piece of trash.
He was furious, but due to the identity of the other boy, he had no choice but to endure it and asked, Ming Ge, what do you mean by this?
He and He Cheng Ming had been minding their own business after all. He didnt know how he had offended him today.
Let me hear you call me Daddy. He Cheng Ming said coldly with his chin lowered, looking down at him.
He Cheng Ming, dont go overboard in your bullying! Gao Sheng wanted to stand up but was pressed down by a foot. He swung a fist, but the other boy evaded it and stepped on his arm, pushing it against the ground.
Seeming to hear the sound of cracking bones, Gao Sheng was sweating in pain and started begging for forgiveness, Ming Ge, Ming Ge, I was wrong. Please show some mercy.
He Cheng Ming remained indifferent as he responded with only three wordsing from his mouth. Call me Daddy.
Gao Sheng gritted his teeth and was helpless with his entrapped arm. He was in unbearable pain and could no longer care about his unyielding image. He called out immediately, Dad, Im wrong. Dad, please lift your foot.
As if he had heard something repulsive, He Cheng Mings expression became unhappy. His foot twisted downwards heavily, and he said coldly, I dont have a son like you.
Gao Sheng shouted in agony and He Cheng Ming withdrew his leg. He bent down, and with a fierce look in his eyes, warned him, Ji Liao is my man. Remember that.
It dawned on him that this was because of ss twelves Ji Liao.
Damn it. He felt annoyed to death. Last night, although he had attacked Ji Liao, he didnt benefit from it. Today, he had violently suffered a one-sided beating from He Cheng Ming. It really wasnt worth it.
However, he, Gao Sheng, would remember this debt!
He took a long time to recover before getting up and stumbling back to his ssroom. Unexpectedly, no one had discovered that he had been beaten up. Only now did he realise that He Cheng Ming didnt hit him in the face or kick him in the leg, he had only touched his shoulder and arm, causing hidden injuries which were hard to spot.
The most annoying thing was that two dayster, he was informed by the teacher in the sickbay that he couldnt y basketball in the following half-month due to the serious external injury on his arm. That also meant that he had to withdraw from the three on three basketball match.
Gao Sheng was in despair and secretly hated He Cheng Ming. At the same time, he developed a fear of He Cheng Ming. Whenever he saw the other boy, he would make a detour.
When Ji Liao heard about this matter, it was already half a weekter.
Chen Li Wen had told him about it and had also revealed that He Cheng Ming had spread the word that whoever made life difficult for Ji Liao would be making life difficult for him. For the consequences of making life difficult for him, they could refer to each of his defeated opponents.
It was to an extent that made everyone inquire about his rtionship with He Cheng Ming. Some people said they were cousins, while others said they were good friends.
So, what exactly is your rtionship? Cheng Li Wen asked.
Chapter 33 - Tell Him Youre My Boyfriend
Chapter 33 - Tell Him Youre My Boyfriend
Ji Liao wasnt trying to deliberately hide the truth he just felt that it wasnt good for it to be too well-known. Moreover, their situation was unusual and there was no need to let it be discovered by everyone.
So he said vaguely, Friends.
Boyfriend could be counted as a type of friend, right? He felt slightly guilty.
However, Chen Li Wen didnt doubt him in the slightest and had an envious expression on his face.
Last year, he had once said in private that He Cheng Ming loved being a cool, pretentious prick. He didnt know how his word spread, but on that night, when he was riding his bicycle home, he saw He Cheng Ming walk towards him. Thinking that he hade to beat him up, he quickly turned to flee, but unexpectedly, there was a flight of stairs that led down to the other side of the bend, and he couldnt brake in time.
If it wasnt for He Cheng Ming catching up and holding on to the back seat of his bicycle, he could have rolled down together with his bicycle.
Although, in the end, he had still fallen and broken a bone, at least he survived.
So he was very grateful to He Cheng Ming. Unfortunately, most of the people in school believed the rumour and insisted that He Cheng Ming had beaten him up, which caused him to be admitted to the hospital. In actuality, he had fallen by himself.
The two of them practised ying ball for a while. Ji Liao was sweating profusely, so he took a while to recover before leaving. When he exited the basketball court, he saw someone leaning against the wall not too far away, waiting for him.
Walking over, he smiled and said softly, Why havent you left yet?
He Cheng Ming shifted his gaze from his phone to Ji Liaos body and looked at the injury at the corner of his mouth. A week had passed and it was already healed.
For thest seven days, he couldnt kiss Ji Liao because of this wound. Now, he couldnt wait anymore.
Holding him in his arms, he lowered his head to pry open the other boys mouth, then hooking the tip of his tongue, he intertwined and sucked repeatedly. Ji Liao felt faint from the kiss, and both of his legs became weak, causing him to lean into the other boys arms.
But this kiss gradually changed and felt never-ending. The other boy was demanding, intense and impatient, causing Ji Liao to feel an odd oppression and fear, and he forcibly broke it off.
Frowning and pushing away the person in front of him, he saw He Cheng Mings lips curve in a smile, and he asked himsciviously, Whats the matter? It doesnt feel good?
Ji Liao didnt speak but his eyes revealed some grievances. What he felt earlier seemed off but he couldnt say it.
He Cheng Ming looked at his pitiful expression, grasped his shoulder andughed, What are you aggrieved about? Ji Liao, do I not treat you well enough?
Ji Liao froze and sensed the seriousness of the situation. But he couldnt understand what he had done wrong to make the other boy suddenly feel this way again.
The conversation he had with Cheng Li Wen shed through his mind. He looked up abruptly. Could it be...
Did you hear it? He whispered.
He Cheng Ming didnt deny it but felt that he was really pathetic. Even after hearing Ji Liao deny their rtionship, he still couldnt bear to leave and stood there waiting for him.
Sorry, dont be angry, Ji Liao said hurriedly, his hand grabbing He Cheng Mings shirt uneasily. Ill tell him tomorrow that were a couple tell him youre my boyfriend! Okay?
He Cheng Ming was stunned and thought he had heard wrong.
When his brain finally reacted, his heart was filled with the noise of drums and firecrackers. His face drew tight with pride trying to control it.
But this type of happiness was really uncontroble. Even if he tried his best to press his lips together, his smiling eyes would still show.
So he stopped trying to suppress his smile. He wished he could pick Ji Liao up and kiss him crazily, but he was afraid that his drastic behaviour would frighten him. Hence, he forced himself to calm down. Then he bent his head, looked at him earnestly and asked, Can you repeat it again, Ji Liao, what am I to you? He was really afraid that he had heard wrong.
Ji Liao knew that his anger had dissipated, so he refused to say it again. Humph, this yer, changing his attitude so quickly! He was so grim earlier, and now he was so passionate.
He Cheng Ming hugged him and started being mischievous, deliberately teasing him, Baby, I beg you, could you say it again please?
Ji Liao couldnt bear his husky voice. He was afraid that his heart would soften, so he quickly covered his ears.
He Cheng Ming chuckled softly, then blew on the side of his neck. Ji Liao was ticklish andughed while trying to avoid it. He heard the boys hoarse voice ask, Am I your boyfriend?
Ji Liao couldnt oust him and could only say unreservedly, Yes yes yes!
With bright eyes, He Cheng Ming looked at the person in front of him, overjoyed. Without restraint, he picked him up and held him face-to-face. Ji Liao was shocked and hugging his neck tightly, he eximed, What are you doing?!
Trying another position. With that, he kissed Ji Liaos mouth and wanted to follow that with a French kiss. However, the other boy didnt cooperate with him and kept trying to avoid him. He Cheng Ming was using both hands to carry him so he couldnt do anything about it. He tsked and put Ji Liao down.
You just... Before Ji Liao could finish, his mouth was blocked and, in the end, could only utter unintelligible sounds.
This time, He Cheng Ming was extremely tender as if he wanted to cherish this boy.
When the two of them left the school, Ji Liaos mouth was swollen.
He Cheng Ming was grinning like a fool. He held his hand tightly, constantly asking whether he was cold or hungry. Ji Liao also had a floating feeling and went as far as to tell him that he was nagging!
However, our school bully wasnt angry at all, he even enjoyed being chided by his wife.
Then Ill shut my mouth, he said indulgently.
Against the cold wind and under the darkening sky, they walked on the street. Ji Liao was silent for a while, then having thought of something, he asked the person beside him, Last time, in the hotel, why didnt...didnt you continue?
Normally, when they hugged and kissed, he could always feel the other boys rising passion, itching to eat him up. Last time, it was such a good opportunity. Why did he give up?
He Cheng Ming looked at him meaningfully, then raised his eyebrows and asked, Why, little rascal, disappointed?
Ji Liaos face flushed red as it was an uncontroble physiological reaction. But he was exceptionally resolute and hummed in response.
A boys desire,pared to a girls, was stronger. Dating him would mean wanting to do intimate things with him. So he didnt understand why He Cheng Ming stopped going further, which made him feel insecure. Did it mean that he didnt like him enough?
Eh? Having lots of courage today?
Ji Liaos answer went beyond his expectations. He Cheng Ming had originally wanted to bluff his way through or change the subject, but seeing the other boy looking at him persistently, it seemed like if he didnt give a reason today, Ji Liao wouldnt let the matter drop. He sighed and thought to himself: he had also endured it with great difficulty!
I was afraid that you would have regretted it. Touching Ji Liaos head, he replied tenderly.
Especially since he didnt know about the truth behind Ji Qing Wens incident, he didnt want to entice him into having sex so soon. Ji Qing Wen was like a sword lying between them if they werent careful, both of them might get hurt.
I wouldnt have regretted it, Ji Liao said in a muffled voice.
He had made his decision, so there was nothing to regret.
When He Cheng Ming heard his words, he deliberately touched Ji Liaos hip and said jokingly, Then shall we go and get a room now?
Hooligan! Ji Liao red at him and ran away quickly.
Chapter 34 - Come on, Your Boyfriend Will Carry You
Chapter 34 - Come on, Your Boyfriend Will Carry You
The basketball match went on as scheduled.
Ji Liao was ss twelves representative in drawing lots, and unfortunately, he drew ss six. He sensed a storm brewing between the two opposing groups.
When he came back, he saw Chen Li Wen and Li You Xin trembling and close to crying on each others shoulders.
Though Gao Sheng wasnt in the match, ss six was notorious for ying dirty, so they were still worried that ss six would take the opportunity to retaliate during the match. They urged Ji Liao to be careful and put safety first before anything else.
In the audience, Lin Jiang was chatting continuously with He Cheng Ming. That group of scum from ss six are especially fond of dirty tricks. I think itll be quite dangerous for ss twelve.
He Cheng Ming gave him the side-eye, meaning for him to shut his mouth.
Gu Ming Ren witnessed this scene just as he came over and sat between the two of them unhappily. Ever since he forcefully kissed Lin Jiang in the cinema at that time, Lin Jiang hadnt shown him a good attitude. Lin Jiang felt that Gu Ming Ren must be sick, wanting topete in everything with He Cheng Ming. He Cheng Ming engaged in homosexual practices, so he had to so as well. If he wanted to, then fine. But why did Gu Ming Ren have to involve him? He wasnt gay!
Damn it. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply got up and walked away. His eyes scanned the surroundings andnded on ss sixs Meng Yao Yao.
She was being harassed by Gao Sheng, and upon seeing Lin Jianging over, she quickly signalled for help.
Lin Jiang struck a heroic pose and stopped in front of Meng Yao Yao. Oh, Sheng Ge, you havent recovered from your injury.
His tone was full of sarcasm, reminding Gao Sheng not to forget the pain even after the wound healed.
Gao Sheng lifted his head and recognised He Cheng Mings follower. He thought how unlucky he was and gloomily returned to his seat.
Meng Yao Yao shed Lin Jiang a smile of gratitude.
The smile was so devastating that dumb-straight-guy Lin Jiang was embarrassed and his heart pounded.
Gu Ming Rens eyes reddened at this sight, and he crushed the mineral water bottle in his hand.
He Cheng Ming saw enough and patted him on the shoulder. He forced augh and said in a consoling manner, Its tough.
Then he got up with a bottle of water in his own hand, walked to the court, and in front of everybody, gave it to Ji Liao.
Before Ji Liao could react, a scream erupted. Xu Xiao Jing jumped up excitedly as her heart made crazymentaries: Ah ah ah the CP Im shipping is being sweet!!!
Those words almost came out of her mouth, but she suddenly remembered that Meng Yao Yao had said that this matter had to be kept a secret. So she quickly changed it to, Ah ah ah my ss twelve must do well!
Ji Liao was almost frightened to death by her. He epted He Cheng Mings water and gulped down two mouthfuls to calm himself, then asked him to hurry back to his seat. There was still a teacher there!
You little thing with no conscience, He Cheng Ming said with a ha, then deliberately passed by the ss six yers, giving each of them a warning look, as if to say, whoever dared to make any dirty movester, dont me him for his impoliteness.
The three boys from ss six swallowed and looked at each other.
Half an hourter, the match started.
Chen Li Wen was the main yer from ss twelve, supported by the other two. They cooperated well and scored two three-pointers in a row. As for ss six, they were probably a little timid after He Cheng Mings warning, which affected their performance. They lost steadily and became less confident as they yed. At thest minute of the game, Ji Liaos dunk earned them the final points and ss twelve won the match.
The whistle blew. Compared with not passingst years preliminary match, they had at least won a game this year. Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen were beyond excited and promised to treat him to a celebration at the barbecue ce outside the school.
At such a happy moment, Ji Liao didnt want to ruin their happiness, so he agreed.
After some thought, he decided to send a Wechat message to He Cheng Ming to exin the situation.
He Cheng Ming saw the message and raised his brows, feeling that his wife had been heading towards the right path recently, even reporting his itinerary to him. So he happily consoled Gu Ming Ren again.
After the event was over, Ji Liao was taken away by the two people.
While sitting in the open-air restaurant, he realised that this was the first time he was having barbecued food with ssmates other than Yu Jin, and he rxed and felt happy.
The three boys ordered a few bottles of beer to drink.
To hinder the cold weather, the boss changed it to their home-made fruit wine. It wasnt strong and went down easily.
Ji Liao had only drunk a little bit but felt very hot. After that, he didnt dare to touch it again.
As Chen Li Wen chewed on a chicken wing, he chatted idly about theirst match and felt that ss six yed like crap. As he spoke, the topic shifted to the girls in their ss and he expressed how Xu Xiao Jing was great. The shout of encouragement that she gave before the match boosted their strength.
Suddenly thinking of the mutual dislike between Xu Xiao Jing and Lin Jia Sui, Chen Li Wenmented, Xu Xiao Jing is quite good, but too strong. How could anyone hold her?
Li You Xin added, I think shes quite cute.
Chen Li Wen immediately smelled the scent of gossip and looked at him with a wicked smile, Do you like Xu Xiao Jing?!
Li You Xin admitted frankly, So what if I do?
Chen Li Wen praised him and gave him a thumbs up.
Li You Xin paused, then looked at Ji Liao and asked, Ji Liao, you dont like Xu Xiao Jing, right?
Without any hesitation, Ji Liao replied, Dont like.
He was sending a Wechat message to He Cheng Ming, who had said that he woulde and pick him upter.
Li You Xin was relieved. That time when he had heard Lin Jia Sui disclose it, he thought he had lost his love before it even started.
Later, when he yed ball with Ji Liao, he realised that the two of them didnt have that kind of rtionship. Xu Xiao Jing never went to look for Ji Liao, but instead, it was He Cheng Ming from ss two that often came.
Seeing Ji Liao holding his phone with an expression of overflowing love, he couldnt help but ask, Who are you talking to? Girlfriend?
Ji Liao lifted his head, hesitated for a moment, then said, Boyfriend.
Chen Li Wen nearly shoved the fish into his throat.
Quickly spitting it out and coughing twice, he looked at Ji Liao in shock. What did you say?
At this time, He Cheng Ming arrived, striding towards them gracefully.
Ji Liao bade farewell to the two of them, then stood up and left. He Cheng Ming took his hand naturally while Li You Xin looked on until his eyes almost fell out.
Taking a while to recover, he turned towards Chen Li Wen. That was He Cheng Ming, right?
Chen Li Wen gave a weird nod.
Ji Liao looked smart and loveable, but he was unexpectedly a big shots man!
He was scared to death.
Ji Liaos heart was still pounding. Earlier, when he had said boyfriend, he was actually really nervous! He was afraid that Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen would look at him with a peculiar expression, so when he saw He Cheng Ming approach, he left the table immediately.
This way, even if they had any opinions, he didnt have to face them.
He Cheng Ming seemed to sense his worries and asked in a low voice, Whats the matter?
Ji Liao shook his head, and in hindsight, felt that his ankle was hurting. He stopped and rotated his ankle, then felt fine again.
Sprained it? He Cheng Ming looked at him, then squatted down. Come on, your boyfriend will carry you.
No. Ji Liao was startled. He wasnt a girl!
He Cheng Ming grabbed his legs, pressed his back against him and stood up.
Ji Liao was afraid to fall and unconsciously encircled his neck.
Baby, do you want to murder your husband? He Cheng Ming couldnt breathe.
Ji Liao rxed his hands slightly but his body was still ramrod straight.
Until he was spanked on the bottom. Then his mind went nk and his entire face flushed red.
Chapter 35 - Want to Come See Me?
Chapter 35 - Want to Come See Me?
When he returned home that night, Ji Liao once again bumped into Xu Ai Wen with that impably-dressed man.
It was the same as before: the man was sending Xu Ai Wen home.
Ji Liao paused, then went over and called out, Mom.
When Xu Ai Wen saw him, she was momentarily flustered and awkward. After all, she had agreed to Ji Liao that if he was unwilling, she would not look for a man. But now, she had been caught red-handed.
The man beside her reacted first and gave Ji Liao a friendly smile, then spoke, Youre Ji Liao, right? Im your mothers colleague,st name Meng.
When their eyes met, Ji Liao finally saw the mans appearance clearly. He was unexpectedly handsome and refined with a gentle and steady temperament, which made him feel trustworthy.
But Ji Liao didnt reply to him. Instead, he turned towards Xu Ai Wen and said, Ill head up first.
Then strode away.
Xu Ai Wen had an apologetic expression on her face and sent Meng Yuan off first. He expressed his understanding and drove away after hugging her.
Xu Ai Wen went upstairs, entered the living room and saw Ji Liao sitting on the sofa watching television.
She took off her coat and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Half an hourter, mother and son sat at the dining table.
Try this. Xu Ai Wen gave Ji Liao a piece of sweet and sour pork.
Ji Liao took a bite, eating it with relish.
Xu Ai Wen gave a satisfiedugh, stalled for a moment, then asked lightly, Tang Tang, why dont you like the idea of Mom getting married again?
Although she hadnt progressed to the marriage stage with Meng Yuan yet, she wanted to know Ji Liaos thoughts.
I dont dislike it, Mom. You can make your own choice to get married again, Ji Liao put down his chopsticks and said earnestly.
He had been thinking about it. Like He Cheng Ming said, if Mom didnt get married again, it would be tough for her. The past years, he knew that she had often worked overtime tillte. As long as that uncle treated her well, he actually didnt have an opinion about it.
However, Xu Ai Wen felt that this wasnt his true opinion. If so, he wouldnt have been so rude as to not greet the man.
I was just...not really used to it. Ji Liaos voice was gloomy. He was too slow when it came to socialising.
Why dont you ask that uncle toe over to our house more often then? He thought that if he met him more often, then they could develop better feelings.
But Xu Ai Wen said, part ashamed and part furious, What nonsense!
She was a single mother. How could she casually let mene and go from the house? But in her heart, she nned to find an opportunity to let Ji Liao and Meng Yuan meet officially.
When Ji Liao finished eating, he went to his room to do his homework. After receiving guidance from He Cheng Ming, he felt that his math had improved greatly. At the very least, it wasnt so strenuous when doing the problems now.
Before sleeping, he chatted flirtatiously with someone for a while, then had a good nights sleep.
After attending school for a few days, the weather became colder. In the blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve on a Friday.
Early in the morning, the ssroom was full of festive spirit with little cards and apples everywhere. When Ji Liao discovered one on his desk, Xu Xiao Jing moved up to say, I gave you that!
Recently, he had been on very good terms with her, so Ji Liao epted it happily. Before ss started, he washed the apple and ate it, causing Xu Xiao Jing to scold him for being insensitive.
Ji Liaoughed loudly and took out his phone. There were still unread messages from He Cheng Ming and he felt a little depressed.
When all the sses for the day were over, he couldnt help but run over to ss two, only to be told by Lin Jiang that He Cheng Ming was sick and had taken a leave of absence.
But he came to school with me this morning, Ji Liao said.
Lin Jiang exined, He left during the second lesson. Ming Ge is extremely afraid of the cold. Falling sick during winter with amon cold happens often.
He wanted to persuade Ji Liao to rx and that it wasmon every year, but Ji Liao became more worried after hearing it.
Ji Liao sent a message to He Cheng Ming. After a minute, he had not replied and Ji Liao called him.
Whats the matter? When the call was epted, there was a trace of hoarseness in his voice. He had just woken up and saw the message. Before he could reply, the phone call came in.
Are you sick? Ji Liao asked anxiously.
He Cheng Ming smiled weakly and got up to pour himself a ss of water. After taking a sip, he leaned against the wall and whispered in reply, Yes, why? Want toe see me?
Ji Liao didnt hesitate. Send me the address.
Following that, he took a taxi and went straight to He Cheng Mings house.
It was an upscalemunity and he had to register his ID before entering.
Ji Liao finished writing in silence, then following the address given, he rang the doorbell. After a while, someone opened the door.
Warm air rushed out. He Cheng Ming was only wearing pyjamas, making him appear thin and tall with his vicle clearly visible.
What are you staring at? Come in. He led Ji Liao inside.
Ji Liao made an oh sound then bent his head to change his footwear.
Leading him to the living room, He Cheng Ming poured him a cup of hot water. Ji Liaos hands were too cold and needed some warmth.
Ji Liao hugged the cup in his hands, looking a little awkward. He looked around and found that He Cheng Ming seemed to be the only one living here. There were three dining chairs but only one of them had a seat cushion. Earlier, there had also been one pair ofmon slippers on the shoe rack.
You dont live with your parents? He asked, turning his head.
He Cheng Ming arched his brow, realising that Ji Liao was quite attentive and replied, No, there are many rules at home. I live by myself.
With that, he pounced at the other boy, then smirked at him, This way, its more convenient for us to do naughty things.
He almost flung out the water in his hand. Ji Liao frowned and put the cup on the table. Still able to behave so improperly even when sick, he thought to himself.
Then he asked seriously, Have you eaten yet?
He Cheng Ming pointed at the bread on the table. He had just eaten two pieces.
Ji Liao was upset that he hadnt brought him hot food, then he became angry. Couldnt you have ordered takeout?
He Cheng Mingughed. First, he exined patiently that he had just woken up, then he pretended to sigh andined, I thought you would cook for me.
Ji Liao was silent. Ive never entered the kitchen.
Normally, it was Xu Ai Wen who took care of his diet and there was never a time when he had to do it himself.
He Cheng Ming looked even more disappointed, and he draped himself over Ji Liao, tilting his head to ask, Then what do we do next time? Do we order takeout every time?
In this position, his baggy pyjamas slid down, revealing broad shoulders and vaguely visible chest muscles which looked very sexy.
Ji Liao swallowed and shifted his eyes away, pushing him with a stammer, What next time? Get off me first.
He Cheng Ming didnt move, instead, he forced him onto the sofa, pressing a kiss onto him. Just as he was about to take it to the next step, Ji Liaos stomach grumbled.
He had also not eaten beforeing over and his expression was slightly embarrassed.
I dont know what to do with you. He Cheng Ming touched his head. Unable to bear seeing the other boy hungry, he had no choice but to get up and enter the kitchen.
Fortunately, there was still some food in the fridge.
He cooked two simple bowls of noodles. When he brought them out, the savoury scent filled the living room. Ji Liao was waiting with a pair of chopsticks in hand. He examined the food there were fresh shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, green vegetables and a thinyer of golden oil on the soups surface. The colour looked great.
He wanted to dive into the food straight away and was about to until his chopsticks were pressed down by He Cheng Ming.
Only to see him pointing at his own face and saying coolly, First, reward me.
Ji Liao quicklypleted the task, then happily started to appease his appetite. He thought that the taste wasnt bad.
But in his heart, he found it strange. Why did he know how to cook? He was obviously a young master.
Moreover, he lived alone and usually had no one to take care of him. What if he was sick?
Today, it was a small cold. What if it was a fever another day? Or sudden appendicitis?
In short, it was very worrying.
Dont overthink things. He Cheng Ming noticed his mind wandering and gave him a reminder.
When the two of them finished, Ji Liao undertook the tasks of washing the dishes. When he came out, he saw He Cheng Ming leaning against the kitchen counter-top, looking at him.
By the way, I bought you some medicine. He just remembered and walked out to get his schoolbag.
Once he saw He Cheng Ming take the medicine, he finally felt at ease.
Chapter 36 - Today, the Weather Was Sweet
Chapter 36 - Today, the Weather Was Sweet
It gradually becamete. Looking at the time, Ji Liao decided he should go. He Cheng Ming was sad to see him leave and looked at him pitifully.
Even if an overly cold person turned up the heater, his heart would still remain cold.
It hadnt been easy for this boy toe here, and he really didnt want to let him go.
He thought this way, but still got up and said, Then Ill see you off.
He didnt want to force Ji Liao.
Ji Liao hummed and followed him to the door to change his footwear.
Right then, Xu Ai Wen called. He epted the call guiltily but heard her inform him that thepany was rushing for a projects deadline and she might have to work all night. She didnt want him to wait for her return and reminded him that he should go to bed early.
His hand hesitated on the doorknob and Ji Liao responded with an okay before hanging up the phone. His heart raced and he turned towards He Cheng Ming, saying, Im not going back.
It was such a surprise.
He was so happy that he couldnt restrain himself from jumping onto the other boy. He Cheng Ming held him, his eyes bright with unspeakable excitement.
Why did you change your mind? He asked in a hoarse voice.
Ji Liao had been a little shy, but after having a moment of rity, he circled the other boys neck and said cunningly, My Mom is working overtime tonight and wont be returning home.
Seeing the adorable look of contentment on his face, He Cheng Mings heart melted.
He leaned forward and kissed him on the chin, then carried him to the living room and ced him on the sofa. They looked at each other. Suddenly, there was an extra nights worth of time, but they didnt know what to do.
Want to watch a movie? He Cheng Ming suggested.
Ji Liaos heart thumped and he stuttered, What, what movie?
When He Cheng Ming saw his face turn red, he knew that his mind was in the gutter. Heughed and replied with a question, What movie did you think of?
With that, he pinched Ji Liaos face. Little pervert.
Ji Liao pushed him away awkwardly and hurried him to start it.
He Cheng Ming plugged in the USB sh drive and selected a foreign romance movie. The two of them nestled together on the sofa to watch it.
He suddenly felt a hand at his waist as the person beside him hugged him. He Cheng Ming propped his chin on Ji Liaos shoulder, breathing lightly into his neck.
It seemed like he was trying to tease him. Ji Liao gloomily shrunk away, wanting to avoid it, and the movement caused He Cheng Ming to frown. Dont move and watch properly. Be good.
With that, he touched his head.
Ji Liao felt wronged and became sullen. His eyes were focused on the video but he wasining internally. What a yboy, not putting the fire out even after teasing him!
It wasnt easy but he managed to settle down. After a while, the boy beside him was restless again. This time, he undid Ji Liaos shirt and put his hand in. Just when he touched skin, Ji Liao abruptly turned and pressed him onto the sofa.
If the tiger didnt show his power, you would have thought that I was just a cat.
He Cheng Mings offending hand was constrained to one side. His pyjama top was half-open, exposing most of his chest. His face didnt show a trace of embarrassment at having been caught in the act. Instead, he wasughing while looking very handsome and warm.
Ji Liao felt a bit shameful as well as annoyed. He covered He Cheng Mings mouth with his hand but heughed even louder in a thick nasal voice, which was both lively and charming.
He Cheng Ming! Ji Liao shouted his name out loud, unable to achieve any gains.
Okay okay, Im sorry. I was wrong. He held up both hands as a sign of surrender.
Ji Liao gave a humph and got up. Regaining his freedom, He Cheng Ming stopped the movie and picked him up, carrying him towards the room. While walking, he said, Lets go to the bed and y.
Ji Liaos ears burned with fire and his heart pounded. However, his mind was unexpectedly clear, knowing that the other boy would not hurt him.
After being thrown onto the bed, Ji Liao rolled around once and He Cheng Ming pounced. He grabbed his ankle with one hand and pulled it hard until Ji Liao was under him. He stared fixedly at him and felt his heart swell. He couldnt help but be emotional since the person he thought of day and night was now in front of him, on his bed.
What are you looking at? Ji Liaoined. Then, plucking up his courage, he leaned up and kissed the boys mouth. This was to me him for dressing so sensually today. He couldnt control himself at all.
He Cheng Ming swallowed and painfully pulled back from the person in front of him, saying regretfully, Next time baby. I dont want to infect you with my cold.
Although Ji Liaos desire was unsatisfied, his emotions were soothed when he saw that the other boy was not doing any better, enduring until his veins were prominent.
Where should I sleep tonight? He asked.
He Cheng Ming hugged him and snuggled into the quilt. Here of course.
All night long, it was peaceful.
The next day, when Ji Liao woke up, there was no one in bed beside him.
He rubbed his bleary eyes and went out to discover He Cheng Ming cooking porridge in the kitchen.
In the early morning sunlight, he was dazzling, tall and handsome. Looking back and seeing him, He Cheng Ming smiled. Awake?
And his voice was nice.
Ji Liaos heart was in a mess again and came to like the boy even more.
Yeah. He walked over and nced at the pot of porridge. It looked quite decent.
He Cheng Ming told him to brush his teeth, and afterwards, they had breakfast together.
Ji Liao was embarrassed. Obviously the other boy was the sick one, but he was the one being looked after.
After breakfast, He Cheng Ming changed his attire. Since he was especially afraid of the cold he had on two pairs of pants, a shirt, a sweater, and a down jacket. Regardless of how good his build was, it couldnt withstand such an outfit, and he was reduced to an ordinary person.
Ji Liao couldnt help butugh at him. But after being spanked, hisughter stopped.
He Cheng Ming led him out the door. It was Christmas today and the streets were full of green Christmas trees decorated with white snow and ball ornaments, creating a beautiful ambience.
Ji Liao reminded him to take his medicine and took out the thermos cup, handing it over to him.
He Cheng Ming took it obediently.
He never paid much attention to a small illness like the cold, but he liked that Ji Liao cared about him.
Where are we going? Ji Liao asked.
Lets just walk around, He Cheng Ming said.
The two of them held hands, strolling on the wintry street. One tall and one short, one round and one thin. The shorter one spoke from time to time as white breath came out from his mouth.
When the person beside him said something, he suddenly bent overughing. The eyes of the taller one followed him attentively and affectionately, also filled withughter.
A young child carrying a basket of flowers came running over and pulled at He Cheng Mings pant leg, saying in a frail voice, Ge Ge, buy two flowers.
He Cheng Ming was in a good mood. He squatted down and nced at the flower basket, asking, How much for everything?
The child said, Ill charge you 500 yuan.
He Cheng Ming took out the money, then gave her the basket of flowers. He shed a dashing smile. For you.
The child stood on tiptoe and kissed him. Ge Ge, youre so handsome.
Then she dashed away.
Ji Liao: ...
Was he hitting on girls in front of him?
He Cheng Ming straightened his back, then noticed Ji Liaos unhappiness. His lips curved and he kissed his face, coaxing in a low voice, I only like you. Dont be jealous.
Ji Liao red at him. Who was jealous?!
He Cheng Ming burst intoughter. His mood soared and he felt that todays weather was indeed sweet.
Chapter 37 - Thats My Life
Chapter 37 - Thats My Life
Mindlessly, they had walked to the business district. Because of the festivities, it was decorated in vibrant colours and cheerful Christmas songs were ying on a loop.
There was a girl with a Santa hat handing out leaflets to passers-by, saying, There will be artificial snowfall at eight tonight in the business centre. If interested, you can read about it.
Ji Liao and He Cheng Ming were handed a leaflet. The girls eyes brightened, her smile became sweeter and she added, Its great for couples to watch together!
Ji Liaos face was slightly red as he took the leaflet silently. Examining it, he memorised the time and ce.
Their city was near the South Coast and it almost never snowed. Even if it was colder than usual, there was only frost, so it was quite rare.
However, He Cheng Mings mind was not on this at all. He had been thinking about Ji Liaos previous jealousy, deducing that the reason must be because he didnt give him the flowers. But in actuality, he was afraid that he would freeze. Holding onto the flowers, his hands would be chilledpared to howfortable they would be shoved into his pockets.
So now, he wanted to buy a gift for Ji Liao to express his love.
Looking at the shopping guide map, he pulled him to the second floor.
Mens wear section.
He Cheng Ming visited several trendy brands. Ji Liao thought that he wanted to buy clothes and even gave some advice. But in the end, he kept quiet.
This was not the kind of price range he could be picky about.
Although he already knew that the other boys family had money, when it became a specific number in front of him, it was extremely pretentious.
Do you like it? He Cheng Ming asked him.
Ji Liao froze. Was it for him?
He quickly shook his head. No.
He Cheng Ming hugged his waist and said with a smile, This is my brothers brand. Dont help him save money.
Ji Liao had a suspicious expression on his face. His brothers shop again? What was the matter with his brother, opening a restaurant beside the school and a trendy brand in the business centre? Was it such a casual thing to straddle industries?
Dont deceive me. He frowned, feeling as though he was being yed.
He Cheng Ming felt really aggrieved. Seeing that Ji Liao didnt believe him, he went straight to the store manager in-charge. Is my brother in today?
The store manager had met the second child of the He family several times and nodded after recognising him. Hes here but in the storeroom. Is the second young master looking for him?
When Ji Liao saw this, he realised it was true and was about to stop him when he heard He Cheng Ming say, Help me call for him.
The store manager immediately tasked a salesgirl to do it, and Ji Liao swallowed his words.
Your brother, then, I, He was in a panic. He never expected to meet one of his family members.
Its okay. My brother knows. He Cheng Ming took his hand as if he was making a vow, which made him feel slightly more at ease.
It wasnt long before He Mu Sheng arrived. He was about thirty years old, handsome and tall with deep features. He wore a tailored suit, just like the British aristocrats of thest century.
He Cheng Ming called out to him Ge, then introduced them to each other, This is Ji Liao.
Ji Liao was too nervous and just stared nkly. He Cheng Ming reminded him softly, Call him Da Ge.
Ji Liao unconsciously obeyed and said, Da Ge. After that, he wanted to bite his tongue off.
When He Cheng Ming heard, heughed loudly and pinched Ji Liaos face. He was so adorable.
The man looked at He Cheng Mings smile and raised his eyebrows. Usually at home, his expression was never even half as good but now in front of Ji Liao, he wasughing so happily.
He shifted his gaze to the fair and clean youth, and as his eyes swept over him, he felt nothing special about him.
Why are you looking for me? He Mu Sheng spoke in an indifferent tone.
He Cheng Ming replied with a question, Why, do I need a reason to see my big brother?
If he had known that he would be called over just to prove something to Ji Liao, He Cheng Ming would have been taught a lesson.
Although this big brother did not share the same mother with him, the rtionship between the two of them was all right.
Especially three years ago when his brother had helped him.
The man sneered, obviously not believing in He Cheng Mings pretext but not pursuing it either. He looked at his wristwatch and asked, Lets eat together?
When he said this, his eyes were on Ji Liao.
Ji Liao was frightened by his meticulous and serious expression; he swallowed and didnt dare to reply.
He Cheng Ming gave a tsk sound and stood in front of him protectively, frowning, Can you not put on that face? Youll scare people, you know?!
He Mu Sheng was speechless. Although he grumbled, How impudent, he coughed twice uneasily and his facial expression wasnt as stiff as before. He Cheng Ming was satisfied and asked him where he wanted to eat.
He was still in school. Although he had a lot of pocket money, it was nothingpared to He Mu Sheng. With the take whatever you can get attitude, he didnt reject the offer.
Ji Liao was unable to say anything and could only follow the brothers with his head down.
The three of them went to a Chinese restaurant, which wasnt cheap.
Ji Liao behaved well and listened to the two of them making arrangements. When he sat down and felt He Mu Shengs gaze stop on him, he smiled at the man awkwardly.
He Mu Sheng nodded slightly without any expression on his face.
In fact, the two brothers were very simr: both were cold.
It wasnt long before the dishes were served, and He Cheng Ming introduced them to Ji Liao one by one, talking andughing. He seemed to have be a boy in love, which He Mu Sheng was both surprised and envious towards.
In a sh, he was already thirty.
In the past, he once had a simr opportunity. Unfortunately, he was unable to marry his beloved and was forced to break up. He was the sacrificialmb of the family and had married someone whose family was equally powerful. This was the price of being an heir.
So three years ago, when He Cheng Ming begged for his help, he had helped.
Something he couldnt achieve for himself, he hoped that his younger brother could get it in his ce...
After a simple meal, He Mu Sheng went to settle the bill. Before leaving, he attracted He Cheng Mings attention and said some heartfelt words, He seems like a good boy. Think carefully and make sure you dont hurt him when the timees.
In a family like theirs, it was easy to take care of a lover, but difficult to acknowledge their identity.
He Cheng Ming turned resolute and nodded. I know. Dont worry.
He had been persistent for three years and couldnt possibly give up.
He Mu Sheng was reassured and looked at Ji Liao again. He thought that this youth was too soft, and with He Cheng Mings arrogant attitude, he wasnt sure if he would bully him. So he added, You should be more restrained. Dont injure him.
He Cheng Ming was stunned at first before realising that his brother had said something vulgar. Why did everyone think he couldnt be trusted?
Do I need you to say it? Thats my life!
When Ji Liao walked over, he heard this and his heart shook. He Mu Sheng left and He Cheng Ming went to the store to collect the clothes.
There were two hoodies of different sizes, which he carried with joy and would treat them as a couple set.
The two of them waited until eight that night. The business centre was full of people and artificial snowkes fluttered down; their surroundings were filled with cheers, apanied by Christmas carols.
Ji Liao looked at the person beside him and asked, Will you always like me?
He Cheng Ming replied without thinking, Of course.
Ji Liao kissed him. Me too.
Chapter 38 - Have a Relationship Too
Chapter 38 - Have a Rtionship Too
December passed sweetly and soon it was January, the time of hair loss due to examinations.
At the end of the term, Ji Liao had a pile of political and historical essays to memorise. Besides that, he had to deal with his most difficult subject, which was mathematics. So private tutoring from He Cheng Ming had to be ced on the schedule again.
The library had be the designated ce for the two of them to date, chat and do their homework.
Every time, He Cheng Ming would be wrapped up snugly, leaving only his head exposed. He would even have a warmer in hisp, so he could warm his hands regrly like an old man as he sat beside Ji Liao.
When Ji Liao needed him to exin something, he opened his mouth. If not, he would y with his clothes and touch his waist, trying his best to take advantage. As long as it wasnt too much, Ji Liao would allow him.
Sometimes, He Cheng Ming would also do calculus problems. When he wasnt around, Ji Liao would secretly look through his papers. In the end, he couldnt understand the problems and felt that trigonometry and geometry were good after all.
However, Lin Jiang was struggling on the verge of copse.
Ever since his Ming Ge and Ji Liao got together, he had lost his entitlement of a follower. Ming Ge had said that if there were no issues, dont bother him. If there were, go and look for Gu Ming Ren. He obviously wanted to give him up for adoption to Gu Ming Ren, that pervert!
Being abandoned mercilessly by his big brother and being focused on passionately by a pervert, Lin Jiang felt wronged like a child and that the world wasnt worth living in.
But recently, Gu Ming Ren had rxed his supervision on him, probably because of his end of term studies. He had extra time and didnt know what to do with it. But what he shouldnt do, he was extremely clear on that.
In any case, he couldnt pay attention in ss.
If he couldnt even listen in ss, he shouldnt be expected to do his homework, right?!
Life seemed to have suddenly lost its meaning. Lin Jiang was listless for a long time and finally decided that he couldnt go on like this he had to escape from this predicament!
His first step was to have a rtionship too.
His target was of course the school flower, Meng Yao Yao. She was pretty and gentle. Most importantly, he would get respect when he brought her out. Yes, she was an ideal girlfriend.
Once Lin Jiang put his mind to it, he would do it. That afternoon, he bought a bouquet of flowers and personally delivered it to ss six.
This high-profile scenario immediately attracted an audience. Before long, Ji Liao, who was in the library, received a message from Xu Xiao Jing: Does Lin Jiang want to express his feelings for Yao Yao?!
Following that, a photo was attached. In the photo, Lin Jiang held a bouquet of roses and sat in ss six with his legs crossed, which made him look very sloppy and like an adolescent.
Ji Liao showed it to He Cheng Ming, who conveniently forwarded the message to Gu Ming Ren. Then he kissed Ji Liao and said, Dont be bothered about him. Just continue writing.
Lin Jiang waited in ss six, but soon felt a little impatient when ten minutes went by. He was unable to understand why girls needed such a long time to eat when they all had the same sized mouths as for himself, he only needed ten minutes.
There was a sudden stir in the audience outside the ssroom, and Lin Jiang thought that Meng Yao Yao was back. He adjusted his hair, then put on a smile. His eyes first saw a pair of legs, slender and straight. Moving up...
Huh? Why were there no breasts???
Following that, he saw Gu Ming Rens gloomy face. His golden sses on the bridge of his nose reflected the dazzling afternoon sunlight.
Lin Jiang was so scared, he threw the flowers aside and assumed a defensive posture; he used the desk to block him and nned to run away at any time.
Looking at the expressionless approach of the other boy, he swallowed and tried to reason, Gu Ming Ren, President Gu, I havent vited the school rules this time.
The school did not stipte that students werent allowed to date, and he hadnt even done anything yet!
Gu Ming Ren sneered, If I said you vited them, then you vited them.
Lin Jiang said angrily, Damn it, youre abusing your power! You think Im an eyesore and want to give me a hard time!
With that, he quickly found an angle to break away, but before he could even run, his cor was grabbed.
Gu Ming Ren dragged him outside while Lin Jiang begged for mercy. Gu Shao, Gu Shao, I was wrong.
A hero should not be afraid to back out, and a great man knows when to yield and when not to Lin Jiang carried out these two wise sayings as he shamelessly reasoned, Gu Shao, Gu Shao, let me go first. Its very disgraceful to me when you drag me like this. If its disgraceful for me, then its disgraceful to Ming Ge. If you dont have considerations for me, at least consider Ming Ge?
Lin Jiang thought that he was being emotionally and rationally persuasive, but Gu Ming Ren thought otherwise and did not release his grip. He kept silent until he threw Lin Jiang into the student union office.
Then he turned and locked the door.
Fuck!
Lin Jiang had a bad premonition. He looked around and picked up the tennis racket beside him, pointing it at Gu Ming Ren. Im warning you, donte over. You think Im easy to bully? Thest time, it was for Ming Ges sake. This time, I wont hold back.
Gu Ming Ren listened while walking calmly to his desk, and taking off his sses, he threw them onto the table. His eyes lifted and looked at Lin Jiang, amused. Last time? When?
Lin Jiang sniffed. Huh, what are you faking, that time in the cinema!
Daring to kiss me but not daring to admit it!
Gu Ming Ren had an expression of sudden realisation on his face. It seems that you didnt learn your lesson fromst time.
With that, he moved closer to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang was calm on the surface, but in actuality, even his gut was trembling. However, he was born with a wild nature, so he couldnt possibly let Gu Ming Ren take advantage of him. He rolled up his sleeves, deciding to fight him.
Gu Ming Ren used his arms to block the tennis racket he had swung, then rushed forward and held Lin Jiangs wrists. Their strengths wereparable, pressing each other against the wall as both struggled to take control.
Lin Jiang used a knee to hit his thigh, but it was evaded by the other boy. They were separated for less than a second, until Gu Ming Ren pushed him onto the office chair, and using a leg to press onto his lower body, he captured his wrists with both hands.
When Lin Jiang saw that he was trapped, he immediately shouted, Get away from me! Fuck, Gu Ming Ren, you...
The word pervert had not been uttered before his mouth was covered. The other boys testosterone level was high and his body carried a faint scent of tobo, emanating a warning that he was not to be trifled with.
Feeling the intrusion of the other boy, Lin Jiang bared his little tiger teeth and fiercely bit into his mouth. Although blood flowed out, Gu Ming Ren didnt care. He took the opportunity to enter his mouth, plundering to his hearts content.
Lin Jiang fought hard in their fierce battle, and barely kept himself restrained from biting Gu Ming Rens tongue off!
After the kiss, his mouth was swollen!
Damn it, Lin Jiang sniffed, thinking that he needed to be crueler the next time and actually bite it with his eyes closed. Who cared if he died!
Roar!
There would be no next time!
Gu Ming Ren released him and straightened. He wiped his mouth, which had been injured by the little wild cat, and smiled happily.
Chapter 39 - Full of Nonsense
Chapter 39 - Full of Nonsense
That night, Ji Liao was scrolling through his friends circle when he came across Lin Jiangs status: Fuck! Bitten by a crazy dog again!! This fucking life!!
The apanying picture showed a ferocious dog with someone holding its neck.
Ji Liaoughed, then realised that Gu Ming Ren hadmented. Its contents consisted of only one word: Bark.
???
What was up with this unconventional dog food?!
A melon-eating mindset spontaneously established itself within Ji Liao, who quietly gave Lin Jiang a Like before quitting WeChat.
While he was memorising some English words, Xu Ai Wen knocked on the door and came in. She was very pleased to see her son studying very hard recently. Putting the warm milk aside, she reminded Ji Liao to take care of his health and not to stay up toote.
Ji Liao nodded, and when Xu Ai Wen was about to leave, she thought of something else to say. Turning around, she asked, Tang Tang, how about having a meal with Uncle Meng after exams next week?
Ji Liao froze, but agreed. Okay.
Xu Ai Wen heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. Then Mom wont disturb your studies any longer. With that, she opened the door and left.
The final exams were divided into two days: the first day was English and Math, and the second day was Literature or Science.
Yu Jin had gone to study art for over a month, so he was very excited toe back for the exams. He had arrived to ss early to wait for Ji Liao to appear, and the moment he saw him, he rushed over to hug him. Bro, I miss you so much!
Ji Liao was startled by his sudden enthusiasm, but couldnt help smiling. He gave him a token pat on the back and said, Arent you exaggerating?
Yu Jin released him and gave a pitiful expression. Heined to Ji Liao, Do you know how boring that art studio was? If I wasnt drawing blocks, I was drawing apples. So sick of drawing.
As Ji Liao listened, he put down his schoolbag andforted him. Youve just started. In the future, youll get to draw something else.
The conversation made Yu Jin fall into even more despair. He was currently in year two and the progress was rtively slow. He heard that the third year ss next door was progressing very fast and already drawing nude models!
At first, he was very happy. Nude models! He had run over to take a peek, thinking that even if it wasnt female, in any case, it should be a good-looking guy, right?! It turned out to be an old man. Fuck!
It almost made him want to poke his eyes out and give up in specialising art.
If I say any more, Ill cry. Yu Jin covered his face and wept.
After hearing this, Ji Liaoughed and joked mischievously, An old man is better than an old woman. You should learn to be satisfied.
Yu Jin looked at him with heartache. Youve changed Ji Liao. Quickly return my cute and kind Tang Tang to me!
With that, he pressed down on Ji Liaos shoulder and shook it vigorously.
Ji Liao became dizzy due to his shaking and quickly stopped him, saying, Okay okay, stop shaking me. I still need to take my examster.
Lastly, he warned, Dont call me Tang Tang!
In the past, both of them had been from the same neighbourhood. Xu Ai Wen had often called him by his nickname. When Yu Jin found out, he kept using it to tease him, saying that it would be nice if he were a girl, as Tang Tang sounded soft and sweet, which was very suitable as a wife.
When they grew up though, Ji Liao became angry with this opinion, so he gradually stopped mentioning it.
I know. Yu Jins lips curled.
The atmosphere calmed down. Looking at the person in front of him, his restless heart slowed and became stable. At the studio, there were many times when he couldnt endure it, but once he thought of Ji Liao, he persevered and tried again.
Previously, he had thought that this boy was just his best friend, but after their separation, he realised Ji Liaos significance in his life and that maybe he wasnt just a friend to him...
After the exam, Yu Jin asked Ji Liao if he wanted to go eat fish together as the two of them had been away from each other for a long time.
Ji Liao agreed, and after reporting to He Cheng Ming, they left school.
They often used to visit a specific fish restaurant. Yu Jin led the way with ease and found a seat.
Ji Liao ordered and the two of them chatted for a while. Yu Jin asked him, What are you going to do during the winter holidays?
Ji Liao said, I should be looking for a temporary job.
In order to lessen Xu Ai Wens burden, he would normally work during the winter and summer holidays.
Yu Jin was sad. Too bad I cant apany you this year.
In the previous years, he had always gone with Ji Liao.
You should just concentrate on painting naked old men, Ji Liaoughed at him. In actuality, he was very grateful towards Yu Jin as he had always helped him, eased his anxieties and never left him.
Eh Ji Liao, have you been badly influenced by someone? Why did your tongue be so poisonous?! Yu Jin bellowed.
Ji Liaoughed and thought to himself, it was probably He Cheng Ming who had badly influenced him.
But he liked himself the way he was now no longer uninteresting, cowardly and quiet.
After they were done eating, they went to the bus stop to wait for the bus. When the cold wind blew against them, they shivered.
Yu Jin silently moved in front of Ji Liao to block him from the wind, but Ji Liao didnt notice. His head was bent over as he sent a message to He Cheng Ming, telling him that he was going home.
The bus soon arrived and Ji Liao was the first to leave. When he alighted, He Cheng Ming was seen waiting for him.
He trotted over, expelling white puffs of air from his mouth, and his smiling eyes were exceptionally beautiful.
He Cheng Ming took his warm hands out of his pockets and cupped Ji Liaos face, bending his head to ask him, Cold?
Ji Liaos voice was rxed. Its okay.
Then added, Didnt I tell you not toe? We have exams tomorrow.
Once He Cheng Ming finished warming his cool face, he withdrew his hands. He turned to hold the hand of the person beside him and said, I was worried about you, afraid that you would be abducted.
Ji Liao rolled his eyes and muttered softly, Full of nonsense.
Huh? He Cheng Mings hearing was very sharp, and with one stride, he stood in front to stop him. What did you say?
Ji Liao retreated a step back, wanting to escape, but was pulled into a hug by the long arms of the one in front of him. He was a little ticklish and the other boys hands happened to be right on his stomach. He started giggling, and the sound of hisughter elicited delight.
Baby, whos full of nonsense? He Cheng Ming bit his ear lightly.
Ji Liao tried to avoid him sheepishly, then eximed, You, its you!
He Cheng Ming swallowed as some indescribable images appeared in his mind.
The former Ji Liao was awkward and cute, and it made him want to kiss and bully him. But the current Ji Liao was lively and witty, making him want to press him down and fuck him.
Ill eat you up sooner orter! With that, he covered Ji Liaos mouth with his, causing him to move back until he was pressed against the wall beside the street.
Ji Liao curved his lips, then opened his mouth to cooperate with him.
Since the two of them got together, the frequency of their kisses increased. He had also be more used to the other boys lingering rubs and deep passion, even embracing his neck and wanting to hang himself off of the others body.
He Cheng Ming was uncontroble as he reached inside Ji Liaos clothes, igniting a fire everywhere he touched.
Ji Liao let out a sound of protest and stopped his hand.
His clothes had been undone by him, but it was too cold for that!
At this moment, a luxurious car passed on the road. Xu Ai Wen gazed out of the window, and as far as she could see, there was the back of a tall boy but with two pairs of shoes below.
She clicked her tongue and shifted her gaze away.
Chapter 40 - Ive Been Kicked Out. Will You Take Me In?
Chapter 40 - Ive Been Kicked Out. Will You Take Me In?
The next day after the exams, the ss was lively with discussions. Some wereining that the topics were beyond the sybus materials, others wereparing answers, while the rest were excited to be finally liberated. Ji Liao was a part of it until his phone rang. He nced at it, then walked outside to ept the call.
Mom? It was Xu Ai Wen.
Tang Tang, Mom is at your school gate with Uncle Meng. When can youe out?
Ji Liao answered, Im going out now.
He packed his schoolbag and recalled that Ji Qing Wen woulde to pick him up every time after his final exams.
Rushing downstairs and turning two corners, he jogged to the school gate, and as expected, he saw Xu Ai Wen. Today, she had put on some light makeup, which made her seem more graceful and verypatible with the elegant man beside her.
Ji Liao walked over and called out, Mom, Uncle Meng.
Xu Ai Wen smiled and helped him with his schoolbag. Meng Yuan took it automatically and held it in his hand.
Xu Ai Wen said, Lets wait awhile for Yao Yao. Yao Yao is your Uncle Mengs daughter. Shes your age, also in year two. Do you know her?
Ji Liao looked surprised. Yao Yao, the school flower Meng Yao Yao?!
What a coincidence.
Just then, Meng Yao Yao appeared and waved to them with a sweet smile.
Dad, Auntie Xu! Meng Yao Yao ran over and greeted them briskly.
Then she looked at Ji Liao and said in surprise, I didnt expect it to be you!
It was in a very familiar tone.
When Xu Ai Wen heard this, she couldnt help but ask, Yao Yao knows our Tang Tang?
Tang Tang?
Meng Yao Yao had met Xu Ai Wen once before and had a good impression of her; she was graceful as well as pleasant, and was also a good conversationalist. Her father had been single for many years and it was difficult for him to meet someone. Of course, she had to do her best to support them!
Its Ji Liaos nickname. When he was still in my tummy, we thought he was a girl, so we gave him the nickname Tang Tang.
Xu Ai Wen smiled, intending to bring them closer.
Meng Yao Yao was very supportive byughing out loud, as if it was very interesting.
Next to her, Ji Liao, &#k2026;
Inside, he wanted to copse, not understanding why such things had to be said in the open!
Fortunately, Meng Yuan reminded them, Itste. Lets go to the restaurant first and talk while we eat.
They got into the car together. Xu Ai Wen sat in the front passenger seat while Ji Liao sat with Meng Yao Yao in the back.
Ji Liao felt a little awkward since hisck of experience with girls made him ufortable. Moreover, he and Meng Yao Yao were considered love rivals.
He touched the tip of his nose while his phone vibrated. He picked it up: it was a phone call from He Cheng Ming!
Panicking for just a moment, Ji Liao wanted to cut off the call, but instead he identally epted it. A low male voice with a hint of a smile was heard, Baby, where are you?
Although it wasnt very loud, it was still profound enough for everyone to hear...
Inside the car, it became instantly silent. Ji Liao lowered his head as his ears turned red. Even his hands were shaking.
He tried to control himself by saying, This is Ji Liao. You are?
There was a short silence, then augh. Sorry, Ive gotten the wrong number.
Ji Liao said okay before he hung up the phone.
The atmosphere was so weird that he couldnt determine if his pretense had been believable or not.
Meng Yao Yao suddenly burst outughing and helped him out. I received a simr call once. The person actually called me Mom! Im only seventeen. I was so pissed off!
Others might not have recognised it, but she did. It was her male gods voice! Charming and flirtatious!
Meng Yao Yaos heart was weeping, but on the surface, she controlled her emotions and joked around.
She suddenly recalled a situation some time ago about a rumour in school specting that He Cheng Ming was dating. ording to the rumour, a girl overheard He Cheng Ming calling someone baby. Could that person have been Ji Liao?!
Meng Yao Yao felt bitter when she couldnt figure out why all the good-looking guys were gay. She was very cute too!
But she respected He Cheng Mings choice and strongly believed that she would meet someone better in future.
Near the restaurant entrance, Meng Yuan stopped the car, and Xu Ai Wen and the two children alighted first.
While they were eating, Meng Yuan briefly introduced himself. He had an apartment at the second tier and had no elders in the family, only a daughter that was Meng Yao Yao. Her mother passed away from cancer five years ago, and since then he had been single, until he met Xu Ai Wen.
The life of being a pool of stagnant water began to surge.
They worked in the samepany and he was Xu Ai Wens superior. Because of frequent joint projects, their feelings for each other grew over time, which eventually led them to their current rtionship .
Adults did not particrly require their love to be a raging inferno on dry wood as long as they felt they were suitable, it was okay.
Meng Yuans intention in saying this was that he had hoped he could marry Xu Ai Wen soon.
In fact, he had already proposed to her, but due to the obstruction of Ji Liaos unclear inclination, Xu Ai Wen had not agreed.
Todays meal was for Ji Liao to provide his opinion on this.
I dont mind. Ji Liao looked up and voiced his thoughts.
He sensed the change in Xu Ai Wen. Ever since she got together with Uncle Meng, she was radiant, like a young woman immersed in love.
So what reason did he have to object?
Meng Yuan was very happy, and Meng Yao Yao was even more so. Although her father doted on her a lot, there were some things that she could only talk about with a mother.
On second thought, she wouldnt be able to tell Auntie Xu too much of her worries, or else Ji Liao would be exposed!
After the four of them finished their meal, Meng Yuan sent Xu Ai Wen and Ji Liao home. As soon as they returned, they went upstairs.
Ji Liao left his phone on the sofa to pour himself a ss of water in the kitchen. When he came out, he saw Xu Ai Wen holding his phone.
He had set a lock screen so Xu Ai Wen couldnt unlock it.
Mom. Ji Liao walked over, his expression a little tense.
Xu Ai Wen asked, unsmiling, Are you dating someone?!
When Ji Liao had answered the phone in the car, she had seen his phone screen through the rear-view mirror. It had clearly stated a persons name and was obviously not an unknown number.
Ji Liao pursed his lips and remained silent, his heart beating quickly.
Xu Ai Wen became angrier. It didnt matter to her that he was dating, but with a boy?!
Tang Tang, tell Mom whats going on?
She tried her best to suppress her emotions to get Ji Liaos confession. She med herself for not loving him enough, which had led to Ji Liaos psychological problem of liking boys.
Its what you think. I like him. Ji Liao lowered his head and his voice was gloomy.
Xu Ai Wen was furious. For the first time in over ten years, it was her first time giving him such an order: Break off the rtionship with that person immediately!
Ji Liao didnt speak, his silence was a rebellion.
Xu Ai Wen was heartbroken, unable to understand how her well-behaved son could be like this. She was ruthless as she pushed him out the door. Fine, if you dont want to, go and look for that person. Let him support you, feed you, clothe you and provide for your studies!
Ji Liao was also upset. With red eyes, he banged on the door. Mom, Mom...
There was no response for a long time.
At night, the freezing wind blew against him. He had not even brought his phone out with him. Feeling through his pockets, he only had twenty dors.
He took a taxi to He Cheng Mings neighbourhood. Ji Liao knocked on the door and looked at the person who opened it.
Ive been kicked out. Will you take me in?
With that, he smiled bitterly but full of expectation.
Chapter 41 - If Youre Not Stupid, Would You Still Date a Boy?
Chapter 41 - If Youre Not Stupid, Would You Still Date a Boy?
He Cheng Ming was struck by his desperate expression, causing his heart to ache for him.
He pulled Ji Liao inside and his gaze fell on the tightly clenched hands hanging by his sides, showing his internal unease.
Dont be afraid. Im here.
A thousand words wanted to pass his lips, asking what happened. In the end, it was only a single sentence of firmmitment. As long as he was here, he would never be alone.
He Cheng Ming took Ji Liao into his arms. Ji Liaos body was very cold, so cold that even his heart was shivering.
He guessed that Ji Liao hade out to his family. If not, Xu Ai Wen, who loved him so dearly, would not be able to bear driving him out.
Ji Liao buried his head in He Cheng Mings neck. On the way over, he had been afraid; he had used all his courage to confess to Xu Ai Wen, which meant that he had cut off all paths of retreat. Now, he only had the person in front of him.
Rubbing against the boys warm body, he heard He Cheng Mings hoarse voice in his ear, Dont tease me at a time like this, Ji Liao.
His tone carried a hint of warning and restraint.
Ji Liao was speechless. He lifted his head from the embrace and asked, Why dont you ask me why I was kicked out?
He Cheng Ming looked at him with an evil grin. Not going to ask. Then he added, I was looking forward to you visiting me.
Once again, he resumed his improper behaviour.
Ji Liao pushed him away and snorted. In his heart he scolded, what a no conscience pig. He was homeless because of the boy, and yet he only thought of romantic affairs!
His downcast mood turned into anger.
When He Cheng Ming saw the sudden change, he immediately coaxed, Dont be angry, baby. I was wrong.
Acting cute again.
Ji Liao could not relieve his gloominess, and as he lowered his head to change his footwear, he found that his hand was wrapped by the other boys firm grasp . He Cheng Ming also seemed to just realise this andughed as he let go.
Since he was afraid of the cold, he also feared Ji Liao being cold, so it was a reflex of his to warm him up.
Why are you looking at me? Change your footwear, He Cheng Ming urged.
Ji Liao moved his eyes away and his heart swelled. This type of subconscious behaviour made him addicted. Even if he discoveredter on that it was a tender trap, he thought that it was worth it.
When they entered the living room, He Cheng Ming asked if he was hungry. Ji Liao shook his head, feeling a little tired.
My Mom knows, he looked up and said.
He Cheng Ming was not surprised at all. He touched his head and asked, Because you answered my call?
Ji Liao was afraid he would overthink it, so he took responsibility for the incident. I picked it up by mistake.
But he never expected the other boy to actually me him. Why were you so careless?
???
On hearing that, Ji Liao red at him. He Cheng Mingughed out loud and lowered his head to kiss him. Dont think about it too much. Itll be okay after you get some sleep.
With that, he brought him into the room.
Ji Liao wanted to take a bath so He Cheng Ming took out a set of pyjamas and brand new underwear for him. When he came out after his bath andy beside him, the youth was boiling with passion.
Although it was the same body wash he used for himself, on Ji Liaos body it was especially fragrant, bringing with it a distinct irresistible feeling. He Cheng Ming couldnt resist leaning over, and Ji Liao felt his reaction. He paused, before reaching down with his hand.
After a short while, He Cheng Ming surrendered.
His self-esteem was slightly hurt.
Immediately, he turned and exined to Ji Liao, Normally, its not so quick. This is the first time your hand was on me, so I couldnt control it.
He said it very seriously but Ji Liao didnt hear a word. With bright red ears, he stood up to wash his hands in silence.
Feeling remorseful, He Cheng Ming sat on the bed and stared coldly at his crotch. He scolded Xiao Cheng Ming for being a disappointment and not being able to handle such a benefit!
The next day, Ji Liao had not awoken yet when He Cheng Ming received a call from Meng Yao Yao. He roughly learned of the situation, as well as the current rtionship between Xu Ai Wen and Meng Yuan.
I see. Thank you. He hung up the phone and went to make breakfast for Ji Liao.
When Ji Liao awoke, they ate together. Afterwards, He Cheng Ming told him that Xu Ai Wen had been searching for him all night and nearly called the police...
Ill go back with youter. He looked at Ji Liao.
Ji Liao wanted to say no, but his gaze was hot, making him unable to refuse.
After changing clothes, He Cheng Ming carried the skincare products that he had originally bought for his own mother and went home with Ji Liao.
Xu Ai Wen sat on the sofa with a sad and anxious expression. Meng Yuan had gone to work, leaving Meng Yao Yao tofort her.
Ji Liao came in, walked over and called out, Mom.
When Xu Ai Wen saw him, she finally felt at ease.
Tears appeared immediately and she cried out, Youre very brave now, daring to stay out for the whole night! Dont you know how to give your Mom a call?!
Ji Liao exined softly, I didnt bring my phone.
Xu Ai Wen was so angry that she lifted her hand, wanting to hit him. He Cheng Ming rushed to stand in front of him, but found that Xu Ai Wens hand didntnd.
Auntie. He called out politely.
Xu Ai Wen only noticed him now. She recognised him immediately as the one she saw the night before! The clothes were the same. Xu Ai Wen looked down at He Cheng Mings shoes. Yes, it was this pair!
Then wasnt the other person her Tang Tang?
Her intense anger almost caused her to faint. Pointing to He Cheng Mings nose, she shouted, Leave. Leave now!
Ji Liao pulled He Cheng Ming away, who had been asked to leave before he had a chance to speak.
Meng Yao Yao was trying to alleviate Xu Ai Wens worries, while at the same time coaxing her. Actually, dating at a young age isnt that big of a deal. As long as it doesnt affect their studies, it should be fine.
Xu Ai Wen rebuked her angrily, Is this a matter of dating at a young age?! Its homosexuality! When he enters society, how would other people look at him? Do that boys parents know? Seeing him wearing branded clothing from head to toe, I know that his family background isnt average. Is he sincere towards Tang Tang?!
Meng Yao Yao understood the meaning behind her words and held Xu Ai Wens hand closely, then smiled and said, So actually Auntie is worried that Ji Liao is being cheated.
With that, she blinked at Ji Liao, who responded to her implication by walking over and squatting down in front of Xu Ai Wen. He said earnestly, Mom, Im not stupid.
Xu Ai Wen pointed at his head. If youre not stupid, would you still date a boy?!
Ji Liao, ... He had nothing to say.
Meng Yao Yao sighed, thinking that guys really had low EQ, not even knowing how to coax someone.
So she ttered her in Ji Liaos stead, Auntie, Ji Liao has returned home now, so dont be angry anymore. If there are any issues, we can sit down and discuss them slowly.
She also poured Xu Ai Wen some water to let her cool down.
Ji Liao watched dumbstruck, thinking that Meng Yao Yao was like an angel. No, she was his saviour!
Xu Ai Wen had regretted her actions fromst night. She had only wanted to give him the cold shoulder for a while when he knew he was in the wrong, then she would let him in. But who knew this child would leave without saying a word. She had been so worried that she didnt sleep for the entire night.
Mom, Im sorry to have made you worried. Ji Liao obediently admitted to his mistake.
He recognised that to make Xu Ai Wen worry was his fault.
But regarding him and He Cheng Ming, he wasnt in the wrong and he would never admit it as a fault.
Note: Just want to thank XAI and bring everyones attention to their fanart that Ive put up on the main page of this story here. \\( ??)/
Chapter 42 - A Good Male God Eventually Becomes a Brother-in-Law
Chapter 42 - A Good Male God Eventually Bes a Brother-in-Law
Ji Liao had always been obedient and sensible, so when he became enthralled, Xu Ai Wen med the boy from earlier. Hence, her impression of He Cheng Ming hit rock bottom.
But she also sensed Ji Liaos persistence. The more pressure youths had on them, the more rebellious they would be. So she said no more, nning to pay close attention to itter and to not allow Ji Liao to go astray again.
At noon, Meng Yao Yao stayed to eat. Sheplimented the food with every mouthful until Xu Ai Wen was in a good mood. After the meal, Ji Liao sent her downstairs and whispered a word of thanks. Meng Yao Yao giggled, No need to thank me. When auntie marries into my family, you will be my younger brother.
As far as she knew, Ji Liao was born in August, making him younger than her by four months. So she was the older sister and Ji Liao was the younger brother. If that was the case, wouldnt He Cheng Ming be her brother-inw?
A thought suddenly appeared in Meng Yao Yaos head: A good male god eventually bes a brother-inw!
She let out a sound ofughter and Ji Liao looked at her, puzzled.
Nothing, nothing. Meng Yao Yao waved her hands.
The two of them exited themunity and Ji Liao waved for a taxi. He watched her get on before heading back.
At home, Xu Ai Wen was washing the dishes. When she came out, she saw Ji Liao with his head bent over his phone. He didnt seem to care whether she would see the contents as he ced it carelessly.
Xu Ai Wen nced at it and saw that it was some job advertisement.
The thought of not having been able to give Ji Liao a good life in recent years saddened her. Fortunately, Ji Liao was sensible and had never caused her any trouble. Except forst night.
You dont need to do that this year.
She had already discussed it with Meng Yuan after the new year, they would get their marriage certificate. At that time, they would no longer be pressed for money and Ji Liao could buy whatever he wanted.
I want to, Ji Liao looked up and said.
He didnt have anything to do at home during the winter holidays. Moreover, it was almost the new year. Last time, He Cheng Ming had bought him a sweater, which he kept in mind ever since, so he wanted to buy something for the other boy, but he didnt have the money.
It wont affect my schoolwork, Ji Liao added.
When Xu Ai Wen saw his resolution, she didntment any further. With a sigh, she changed and went to work. Meng Yuan had only helped her apply for half a day off.
In the afternoon, since no one was home, Ji Liao left the house. Halfway, He Cheng Ming called and they agreed to meet at the central square.
Ji Liao wanted to go to the coffee shop for an interview to be a part-time waiter.
He Cheng Ming, who couldnt bear the idea of him working, asked him if he was short of money.
Ji Liao smiled helplessly. Why? Do you want to support me?
He Cheng Ming let out a tsk and asked him for a figure to see if he could afford to support him.
Fifty thousand a month. Ji Liao stretched his fingers, throwing out a random figure.
He Cheng Ming immediately took out his card and ced it in his hand. Fifty thousand. Lets go. He took his hand, wanting to leave.
Actually, he wasnt sure how much money his card had. Zhao Mei Lan gave him five thousand every month as pocket money. Including the red packets from rtives during the Chinese New Year, it should be plenty...
Shocked, Ji Liao quickly returned the card to him. Youre crazy.
It was just a casual remark,but he actually took it seriously!
He Cheng Ming hugged him, not wanting him to toil at work while at the same time wanting to please him.
His heart chilled at the memory of Xu Ai Wens extreme repulsive attitude towards him that morning; he was afraid that Xu Ai Wen would pressure Ji Liao to break up with him, so he was trying his best to please him.
Just leave it with you. Its right to let the wife take care of the money. It was a bit of a scheme: once he handed his money over, if there were any future disputes, it would not be an easy separation.
Unable to see through his intentions, Ji Liao only felt a little shy. What wife? Anyway, he refused to ept it and said, I dont care about your money.
Then what do you care about? Managing me? He Cheng Ming tilted his head and couldnt help teasing him. Im very easy to manage, really. Whatever you say, Ill always listen.
His breath was on Ji Liaos ear, warm and tingly.
Ji Liao was a little angry, feeling that the other boy was always teasing him like this. So he turned his head and bit on He Cheng Mings chin.
His force was neither light nor heavy, and when he heard a hiss from the person in front of him, he let go.
Faint teeth marks were left on the boys face.
Baby, youre too wild. Instead of getting angry, He Cheng Ming was surprised and pleased. He pointed to his own mouth. Next time, remember to bite here.
Shameless. Ji Liao kicked him, then checked the time. If he dawdled any longer, he would bete for the interview.
He pulled the boy and strode forward. Since He Cheng Ming was unable to wear him down, he followed him.
When the coffee shops manager saw the two boys, one handsome and one cute, he decided to ept them without an evaluation, but since they were minors, he needed their familys consent.
Ji liao hurriedly said, Only Im applying. Hes just apanying me.
A disappointed expression appeared on the managers face.
Seeing the situation, He Cheng Ming took the opportunity to interrupt. Who says Im not applying?
The managers eyes shone. He had a preference for the tall one as his attractiveness would draw in many female customers.
Familys consent, right? No problem, He Cheng Ming replied. He nned to get He Mu Sheng to sign it, as he had to hide this from his mom, Zhao Mei Lan.
After they confirmed the time to start work, the two of them left the coffee shop. Ji Liao asked, Why did you agree? After all, he wasnt short of money.
With a smile on his lips, He Cheng Ming analysed for him, Since you work here, I have toe and see you every day, right? And Ill need to spend money on coffee, or I wont be allowed to sit.
But if we work together, it wont be as troublesome. Not only can I save money, I can also earn money. Its worthwhile, right? He then smiled at Ji Liao, who didnt expose his ulterior motive.
After yesterdays incident, it was certain that Xu Ai Wen would manage him more strictly. In addition to his winter vacation job, it would also prevent him from meeting with He Cheng Ming. Constantly being by his side was, of course, the best scenario.
Okay, he responded quietly.
He Cheng Ming felt such sweetness in his heart that he kissed the other boys face. Good boy.
At that time, Ji Liaos phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was Xu Ai Wen.
He motioned to He Cheng Ming to be quiet, then went aside to pick up the call. Xu Ai Wen asked him where he was, to which he honestly replied that he was out for an interview and was about to return home.
Ji Liao sighed once he hung up the phone. Turning around, he bumped into someones chest with a thud. In an instant, He Cheng Ming asked him, Does it hurt?
Ji Liao rubbed the tip of his nose and endured it, saying, Im okay.
It was all red, how could it be okay?!
Today, he wore a cargo jacket with tworge pockets in front with rivets on them. Ji Liao had bumped into the rivets.
He Cheng Ming med himself and immediately took it off. This piece of garbage!
Ji Liao tried to stop him. What are you doing? Dont catch a cold again.
He was so afraid of the cold, what was he trying to unt for?
Seeing that the boy didnt stop, Ji Liao said anxiously, Will you listen to me or not?
He Cheng Ming paused and brushed his finger across his red nose. Ill listen.
Chapter 43 - A Diary Lying Inside
Chapter 43 - A Diary Lying Inside
That night, he returned to the He family residence.
When the servants saw him, all of them stopped to call out, Second young master.
He Cheng Ming passed by with both hands in his pockets, unwilling to respond even with his eyes. He had always resented such a hierarchical feudal system.
Despite being in the 21st century, this old-fashioned manner was still ongoing.
But it had been like this in the He family for generations and he couldnt change it. As a result, he didnt like living at a home that oppressed him.
Before he arrived, he had already greeted He Mu Sheng. With long strides, he went upstairs to the study room where He Mu Sheng was looking through some documents.
Sign it. He Cheng Ming walked over and put the part-time contract on the table.
He Mu Sheng nced at it and thought it was funny. Havent you already sessfully pursued him? Still so enthusiastic?
This is called interest. Strengthening of feelings, understand? Dont talk nonsense and quickly sign it. My mom will be back soon, He Cheng Ming urged unhappily. If Zhao Mei Lan knew about this matter, she would put an end to it.
He Mu Sheng didnt add in his thoughts and changed the subject. Not nning to stay for dinner? You havente back for a long time. Dad asked about you previously. He signed the contract as he spoke.
He Cheng Ming nced at the contract, kept it in his pocket and said coldly, What else can he ask about me? Arent all my results reported directly to his office?
Thanks, Im leaving. With that, he left the room. Before he could go downstairs though, he met Zhao Mei Laning back from shopping.
He Cheng Ming froze upon hearing Zhao Mei Lans surprised voice. Xiao Ming is back. Mom missed you to death. Come down quickly and let Mom have a look.
Being a Su Zhou native, Zhao Mei Lan spoke softly with a graceful and charming tone.
He Cheng Ming went downstairs with a wooden expression, feeling slightly fidgety as he knew that he couldnt leave tonight.
Zhao Mei Lan put the many bags she was carrying onto the sofa and ran to hug her precious son. Thinking that he had lost some weight recently, she asked the kitchen to cook some soup to make up for this.
Is it the school holidays? Ive been hoping that you should be back soon. Your father also missed you, Xiao Ming. Stay here today. Mom makes sure that auntie cleans your room every day, so its very tidy.
Zhao Mei Lan took He Cheng Mings hand and said kindly. The more she looked at her son, the more satisfied she became.
She wasnt the first wife of He Yue Jin. His former wife was He Mu Shengs mother, and it was a business marriage without any feelings. After the birth of their first child, they led separate lives. Zhao Mei Lan had only been a lover whom He Yue Jin supported discretely, but after an idental pregnancy, which brought happiness to the middle-aged He Yue Jin, he divorced and married her.
To the wealthy, family background was extremely important. Since she had been supported by her lover and had no proper qualifications, thedies within the circle looked down on her. Fortunately, her son was ambitious and had a good memory since he was young. When he grew up, he became even more talented and received excellent grades, putting her in a very good light.
Therefore, Zhao Mei Lan had great expectations for He Cheng Ming, hoping that he could get rid of He Mu Sheng and receive the He family inheritance in the future. This way, she could lift her head high and be the best.
Okay, He Cheng Ming responded coolly, then got up. If theres nothing else, Im going to my room.
Although Zhao Mei Lan was ustomed to his attitude, she still felt a little dissatisfied. She reminded him, Later when your fatheres back, dont put on that expression.
He Cheng Ming just turned and left, gloomily shutting himself inside the room.
After lying on the bed for a while, he sent Ji Liao a message. When no reply came, he threw his phone towards his bedside. Sitting up, his slender fingers pulled open his bedside cab. There was a diary lying inside with its most important contents torn out. But on a nk page, there was a shallow imprint of Ji Liaos name.
He Cheng Mings eyes dimmed, and hey down again, closing his eyes.
Elsewhere, Ji Liao was having dinner with Xu Ai Wen, who informed him about issues with her own part-time work.
Xu Ai Wen only disclosed that herpany was getting busier since it was the end of the year. Since that was the case, she was unable to attend to simultaneous matters at the same time, hence Ji Liaos matter was pushed aside for the time being.
When Ji Liao returned to his room after the meal, he saw He Cheng Mings message: Does your nose still hurt?
Hey on his stomach on the bed and texted: It stopped hurting long ago.
He Cheng Ming replied immediately: My heart aches.
Ji Liaoughed, got up to lock the door, and called the other boy on the phone.
He Cheng Ming picked up the call and walked to the window with his lips curved slightly. You dare to call me even though youre at home?
Leaning against the door, Ji Liao whispered, Im calling from my room. My mom doesnt know.
Hearing the silence from the other end, he added, It will be colder tomorrow, so remember to put on more clothes.
When he recalled hearing the weather forecast from the living room, he wanted to remind He Cheng Ming that his body was too susceptible to the cold and often suffered from it.
Okay.
His low response reassured Ji Liao, and since there was nothing else to mention, he hung up the phone.
However, the next day, somebody still got sick. Whether it was due to removing his clothes fromst time or the cooler temperature, his cold was serious.
I told you to put on more clothes, Ji Liao grumbled, running out to buy him some medicine, and afterwards retrieving some warm water from the coffee shop to let him take the medicine.
He Cheng Mingplied with his arrangements but looked listless the whole time. Ji Liao was slightly worried. Why dont you take a day off and go back to rest?
He Cheng Ming picked up his work uniform to change. How can I take a day off on my first day of work?
He smiled and massaged Ji Liaos shoulders to set his mind at ease. I know myself. Im fine. Dont worry about it.
The two of them changed into their work uniform, and ncing over them, the manager was very satisfied. After working in the afternoon, He Cheng Ming felt a little drowsy after his medicine and fell asleep while sitting in the staff lounge.
Ji Liao came in carefully, afraid of waking him.
He walked over and felt the boys forehead. Fortunately, it wasnt very hot. Then he sat beside He Cheng Ming, letting the boys head rest against him. He Cheng Ming raised his heavy eyelids slightly. Seeing that it was Ji Liao, he held him, propped his chin on his shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.
Their posture was very intimate, drawing looks from the other employees, who thought it was fishy.
Muchter in the afternoon, putting his good looks to use, He Cheng Ming was sent to distribute flyers outside. But since he was sick, Ji Liao volunteered to go for him. The manager dismissed them with a wave of his hand. Then both of you can just go together.
It was cool that day with the sun obscured. The wind was still strong, which was annoying.
Ji Liao shivered slightly as he wasnt wearing much. He Cheng Ming took off his coat and gave it to him, but of course, Ji Liao refused to wear it. He stared at him and protested, You still have a cold!
He Cheng Ming didnt like his weakness being mentioned constantly, so he was a little agitated. He frowned and insisted on making him put it on.
Be obedient. His tone wasnt very nice; he was suppressing his emotions but his face was still dark.
Sensing his faint anger, Ji Liao was too afraid to pester and ignore him further.
But this didnt stop theints in his heart. Yesterday, he said he would listen to him, but today, he went back on his word!
Not far away from them, Xu Ai Wen stopped within the crowd and had aplicated look in her eyes.
That afternoon, she was nearby for a meeting and recalling the address on the contract that Ji Liao had asked her to signst night, she remembered it was just ahead.
She wanted to go and visit Ji Liao but didnt expect to see such a scene.
Her phone sounded and Xu Ai Wen saw that it was a call from Meng Yuan. She picked it up and turned away.
Some spoilers from the author:

Chapter 44 - No Questions Allowed When Kissing
Chapter 44 - No Questions Allowed When Kissing
That night, when Ji Liao returned home, he saw Xu Ai Wen sitting on the sofa watching television. Although she was supposed to be watching television, her expression was not in the least bit rxed, seeming as if she had been waiting for him.
Ji Liaos heart sped up.
How was work today? Xu Ai Wen nced at him and saw that the boys coat was not on him he was now wearing his own outerwear.
Ji Liao couldnt grasp the meaning behind her words, so he only gave a neutral reply. It was okay.
Xu Ai Wens face darkened, and after a while, she said, From tomorrow onward, you dont have to go again. Her tone was not that of a discussion, but an imposition.
She turned off the television and silence fell within the living room.
Why?! Ji Liao stepped in front of her, protesting against her dogmatism.
Xu Ai Wen looked up at him. He had beautiful eyes and a tall stature. After he was more grown-up, he would be even more handsome, thus he wouldnt have to worry about not having a girlfriend in future. She only hoped that her son could get married, have children and lead a normal, ordinary life instead of beingbelled as gay by society and receive peculiar attention.
Youre asking why? Are you going there to work or to date?! She raised her voice and looked directly at the person in front of her, questioning him strictly, as if there was no room for alleviation.
Ji Liao pursed his lips, his expression full of reluctance and unwillingness.
He was aloof and resisted silently, but seeing Xu Ai Wens reddening eyes, his heart softened and his shoulders sagged. Mom, Ive grown up.
Then he added softly, I know what Im doing and I have the right to choose who I like.
When Xu Ai Wen heard this, she was so angry that tears started to fall. She thought that Ji Liao was too stupid and naive, choosing a road full of brambles and still thinking it was true love.
What do you know? Can you and he have any results?! Can you two marry?! She didnt hesitate with her aggression.
Ji Liaos character was rtively timid. When his opponent was strong, he would subconsciously make concessions, so it was rare for him to argue with others.
But at this moment, he looked into Xu Ai Wens eyes. Didnt you also get married? In the end, when Dad died, you married someone else. He spoke quietly but also sarcastically.
Xu Ai Wen felt as if a sharp knife stabbed her heart. Hurt by those words, she raised her hand in an uncontroble moment and pped Ji Liao.
But she couldnt refute it.
Look at what youre saying now, she shouted, her voice trembling.
Mom, I...
Ji Liao was a little regretful. He meant that the result of love was not necessarily marriage. After marriage, there was still the possibility of divorce. Wasnt it more important to like each other?
But Xu Ai Wen rejected his exnation and told him to go back to his room.
Ji Liao copsed on his bed and began to feel guilty. Although he knew that Xu Ai Wen wanted what was best for him, she had forgotten to respect his opinion. In more than ten years, this was the first time that the two of them quarrelled and it was also the first time that Xu Ai Wen hit him.
That night, Ji Liao went to bed early and woke up the next day to find his door locked.
Did she intend to lock him up?
He actually had a spare key but Xu Ai Wen didnt know.
Although he went out as usual, Ji Liao was not in a good mood. When he saw He Cheng Ming in the coffee shop, his cold had worsened as expected. He had wrapped himself up tightly and looked like a wolf which made himugh.
Is it that serious? He poked at the boys heavy clothes.
Seeing his troubled expression, He Cheng Ming deliberately flirted, Its very serious. Itll only get better if baby kissed me. Because of the nasal sound caused by the cold, it sounded even cuter.
After saying that, he moved his face closer. Ji Liaoughed and hit him, wondering where he learned to be so flirtatious!
Have you gone to the hospital? He was still worried about his health. He couldnt always be sick, could he?
Hearing no answer from him, he knew that the answer was sure to be no.
Ji Liao was not happy. For the moment, he forgot about the quarrel at home and frowned at him. You must go in the afternoon.
He Cheng Ming enjoyed his concern and kissed his little cutie. Okay.
In the changing room, the two of them openly disyed affection. Behind them, a gorgeous man saw everything, and something cunning and dark shed in his eyes. So they were a couple.
He licked his lips and set his target.
For several days, Xu Ai Wen ignored Ji Liao. Food was cooked as usual, and whether he wanted to eat or not was up to him. Ji Liao attempted to reconcile several times but was quietly rejected. She seemed to have made up her mind to stop controlling him.
Time flew by.
That night, He Cheng Ming was about to go to bed when he received a strange message: Heng Yu Hotel, 1801. Meet up, Handsome?
Since it was the middle of the night, he thought it was a mistake and ignored it.
After a while, the same number sent a nude back photo. It was a man stroking his short ck hair, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and round hips.
Ji Liaos thin waist appeared in his mind. Incapable of enduring it, He Cheng Ming closed his eyes and recalled the feeling the several times he had touched him. It had been warm and smooth, which made his hands want to linger.
Before he finished his recollection, his crotch was already tented. He went to the bathroom to resolve his physiological problem. Before that, he remembered to cklist the number after replying with an evaluation: Inferior.
The next day at work, he was carrying some tes and walking away from the front counter when he felt a nearby barista staring at him with interest. When he stopped, the other person brushed his fingertips against the back of his hand.
He Cheng Mings sudden obsession with cleanliness burst forth. His face darkened and his eyes were cold. Do you want to fucking die?
He actually dared to take advantage of him. Today it was him, then would it be Ji Liao tomorrow? Thinking of this, he was extremely irritated. Grabbing the baristas cor, he threatened, You better control your hand.
At this moment, Ji Liao came over. Seeing their posture, he thought that He Cheng Ming was bullying someone and immediately persuaded them to make peace.
The baristas name was Ah Gu. He had started a dayter than them and was a regr employee. He had a pair of beautiful mono-lid eyes, which turned towards Ji Liao as he smiled indifferently with a very charming expression.
Ji Liao felt slightly ufortable and was dragged away by He Cheng Ming.
Why are you suddenly washing your hands? Ji Liao asked him.
Dirty. He Cheng Ming was disgusted, then turned to ask him, Has he ever done anything to you?
That barista? Ji Liao was confused, still not knowing what had happened and replied honestly, Never interacted with him.
He Cheng Ming was relieved, kissed him with satisfaction and told him, Okay, stay away from him.
With the cold finally gone, he didnt let this chance slip away. He pressed Ji Liao down beside the sink and kissed him deeply. Between kisses, he put his hands under his clothes. Ji Liao pushed him away a little and asked, puzzled, Why do you always touch my waist?
Because I like it. He Cheng Mings voice was hoarse.
Then he added, No questions allowed when kissing!
Chapter 45 - Say Something Ji Liao. Dont Scare Me
Chapter 45 - Say Something Ji Liao. Dont Scare Me
When the two of them reappeared, Ah Gu could tell from one nce what they had been doing. His lips lifted in an unclear meaning.
Soon, it would be the new year. Today was thest day of work for that year. After Ji Liao calcted his savings, he decided to buy a new years gift for He Cheng Ming.
During the afternoon break, he went out to look around for gift options.
Because He Cheng Ming had received Zhao Mei Lans call, he was in the changing room, getting ready to leave right away.
The door opened and Ah Gu stepped in.
Seeing the handsome and unruly youth in front of him, his eyes lifted, revealing crimson anticipation.
If he had his eye on someone, there was no way he couldnt get them.
Walking to He Cheng Mings side, Ah Gu gave a flirtatious smile and probed boldly, Handsome, want a bite? His tone was frivolous and sensual.
With that familiar tone, He Cheng Ming suddenly thought of the message he receivedst night, and it became clear.
So it turned out to be this idiot.
He didnt even bother to turn his head. Get lost. As far as you can.
Not expecting the other boy to not even give him a chance, Ah Gu was stunned, but he didnt give up either. Maybe he wasnt being charming enough, so He Cheng Ming was not moved.
He removed his cumbersome coat, which revealed the tight knitted sweater that made his waist appear thinner and sexier.
He propped himself on He Cheng Mings shoulder and enticed in a low voice, Anyway, your little boyfriend is out. He wont know. Then blew a warm breath into his ear.
Shut the hell up! He Cheng Ming had never understood the word tolerance he pressed on the shoulder of the man in front of him and lifted his leg to knee him ruthlessly.
With a cry of pain, Ah Gu bent over in agony, but he forced a smile and said, Ha, SM?
Ha. He had a death wish.
He Cheng Ming didnt move for a long time. Then, deciding to use him as practice, he raised his hands to beat him up. The man who was originally full of confidence was now doubting his life. Although he felt like all his organs had moved, he didnt seem to look seriously injured!
When Ji Liao returned and opened the door, brimming with excitement, he was stunned by this scene.
He Cheng Ming followed his gaze. Ah Gu had put on his coat but he was a mess and copsed at the wardrobe gasping, looking like he had just done something intense.
Moreover, there were only the two of them in here.
He Cheng Ming clenched his fists. As he was afraid that Ji Liao would misunderstand, he hurried to exin, Its not what you think.
He stood in front of Ji Liao, blocking the dirty sight, and held him in his arms.
Ji Liaos mind was nk and he was a little confused for a while. By the time he could respond, he had been brought out of the coffee shop.
Today, the sun shined warmly on the two of them.
He Cheng Ming crouched beside him while kissing him, his tone careful and loving. Say something Ji Liao. Dont scare me.
Ji Liao paused, then said bluntly, What were the two of you doing? His clear eyes looked at the person in front of him.
He Cheng Ming didnt miss out a single word as he told him the whole story. Once he finished, he looked as nervous as a prisoner standing on trial.
Whats the meaning of bite? Ji Liao didnt understand and asked curiously.
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows and told him, Split the word and say it.
Oral--sex? After the words passed his lips, he quickly covered his mouth. His ears reddened and his eyes widened in shock...
That barista was shameless, daring to say such a thing!
Ji Liao was furious and directed his unhappiness towards He Cheng Ming. How do you know? Youre so experienced!
What the hell. It was enough that the girls in school liked him, now even guys were trying to seduce him? Why did he have so many love rivals?!
Sorry baby. Its my fault. He Cheng Mings tone was pitiful when he didnt refute it. At this moment, he only wanted to coax Ji Liao. It was okay as long as Ji Liao didnt ignore him.
Of course, it was your fault!
Ji Liao sighed. Who allowed you to emit your hormones everywhere?!
He grabbed the other boys shirt, pulled him down and gave him a warning, face-to-face. Only I can bite you! With that, Ji Liao bit his mouth.
He Cheng Ming nearly went crazy. He pulled him onto his legs and was about to start bullying him when his phone sounded. It was Zhao Mei Lan urging him to return home!
Left with no choice, he nibbled fiercely on Ji Liaos neck and quickly left with an agitated expression on his face.
That afternoon, there werent many people in the coffee shop. During Ji Liaosst shift, from time to time, he nced at the counter, where Ah Gu was directing hostile looks at him. Ah Gu was unable to fight him since his whole body was still in pain, and he still had to work!
He had thought that He Cheng Ming was at least a wolf, but he didnt expect a leopard or a cheetah!
He could only me himself for provoking the wrong person.
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Meng Yuan brought Xu Ai Wen and Ji Liao to their house for a celebration. Meng Yao Yao had a sweet mouth and called out various greetings, making everyone very happy. Xu Ai Wen even gave her a very big red packet.
Sensing that Ji Liao was being left out, Meng Yuan gave him a piece of meat. Ji Liao was startled at first, and said, Thank you.
He was actually easily satisfied, as long as he was treated nicely.
The four of them finished the New Years Eve dinner and had nned to watch the Spring Festival G together. But when Meng Yao Yao received a call, she said she wanted to go out for a while. She pulled Ji Liao along, and because Meng Yuan had always doted on her, he didnt stop her. Xu Ai Wen didnt have any suspicions as well and let it pass.
The two of them left the house and Meng Yao Yao brought Ji Liao downstairs. At a nce, she saw He Cheng Ming standing not far away.
She waved her hand and felt that the male god was even more handsome wearing new clothes!
Actually, it was Lin Jiang who booked a KTV room and asked us to join, she exined to Ji Liao.
He Cheng Ming had insisted on taking a taxi to fetch them.
Meng Yao Yao was considerate and sat in the front passenger seat, leaving the space behind for the convenience of the two people.
Ji Liao was moved by her kindness and couldnt help but take a longer look at her. This look prompted He Cheng Mings imagination to run wild, and he instantly turned Ji Liaos head, saying with jealousy, Look at me.
He was a little uneasy at the thought of Meng Yao Yaos reputation at school as the straight men capturer. Although Ji Liao was now bent, he couldnt say for sure that he would not be straightened by Meng Yao Yao, so he felt that he had to pay more attention.
Ji Liaoughed and ignored his childishness.
The three of them soon arrived at the KTV where Lin Jiang was singing a heartrending song. Love even when dead. There is no happiness if not fully expressed.
Ji Liao looked around, only to find Xu Xiao Jing in groups of twos and threes. He whispered to He Cheng Ming, President Gu isnt here?
He Cheng Ming mocked heartlessly, He wouldnt be if Lin Jiangs doing the inviting.
Ji Liao said, Oh, and nodded knowingly.
The two of them sat down. Once Lin Jiang finished his song, he came over, grinning with a toast. Ming Ge, Ji Liao, Happy New Year.
He Cheng Ming turned and asked, Can we drink?
Ji Liao nodded.
Seeing the couples affection, Lin Jiang buried his face in his hands and cried, Its the New Year. Can you be caring towards the single dogs?!
Chapter 46 - Was this a duck? This was royalty!
Chapter 46 - Was this a duck? This was royalty!
Everyone burst outughing.
Someone mentioned that they wanted to hear He Cheng Ming sing. Without a word, Lin Jiang brought the microphone over and shouted, Come on, select the song Double Happiness for Ming Ge.
After hearing that, He Cheng Ming kicked his hip bone lightly, causing Lin Jiang to stumble. As if remembering something, he said, Change it to Dark Surge.
He used to hear He Cheng Ming sing this song often, so he must like it.
The prelude gradually became powerful. He Cheng Ming leaned against the sofa with the microphone held close. His deep and mesmerising voice poured out. Just one line was enough to amaze people.
Afraid of a repeated tragedy, in my life, in my life.
The more beautiful something is, the more I cant touch it.
Conveying the Cantonesenguages emotional undertones, his gaze fell on the youth beside him. His palm rested on his shoulder, his thumb rubbing against that persons thin corbone again and again.
Normally, Ji Liao would have been shy, but after drinking a little bit of alcohol, he was a little dazed. He was also mesmerised by He Cheng Mings singing, and his eyes were full of love, staring nakedly and bravely at him.
As their CP club member, Xu Xiao Jing may have only a smile on her face, but in her heart, she was screaming wildly. Ah ah ah, this real-life natural dog food was killing her. She covered her face and let herself fall onto Meng Yao Yao.
This was sweeter than if she herself was dating. Boo hoo hoo!
Meng Yao Yaoughed and scolded her, Loser!
Followed by a smitten expression on her own face. Male gods singing was really good!
At the end of the song, a round of warm apuse broke out.
Xu Xiao Jing pped until she almost injured her hands. She was so excited that she took the lead in shouting, Kiss! Kiss!
He Cheng Ming was in a good mood. His back lifted off the sofa, leaned into Ji Liao without the slightest hesitation, and kissed him on the lips. Then he whispered into his ear, Baby, have some restraint. Youre going to make me hard with that look.
Ji Liaos ears turned red and he quickly lowered his head. His mouth was dry so he picked up the water on the table. After a mouthful, he realised it was alcohol and felt even fainter as a result.
He choked and He Cheng Ming handed him some fruit juice with a tut. Ji Liao took a sip and felt better.
Damn, I cant take it anymore. Xu Xiao Jing, who had been watching their sweet interaction, covered her heart. She copsed on the sofa and pretended to die.
Everyone there was dumbstruck!
Was this the same He Cheng Ming who was frequently irritable and always had a dark expression on his face?!
Most of the people here had only heard from Lin Jiang that He Cheng Ming was dating a man. Most of them had a good family background, so knew very well that homosexuality was disgraceful and not allowed in a powerful family. So they didnt really care, treating it as if he was just ying around with a duck. But after witnessing it today, this duck was a little different.
Besides He Cheng Ming picking him up personally, when they arrived and sat down, Lin Jiang had to go over there to toast them. He Cheng Ming even asked him for permission, sang to him tenderly and worried over his well-being when he had choked on his drink.
Was this a duck? This was royalty!
It suddenly turned quiet. Lin Jiang was the first to respond, telling everyone that it was fine to be single, and continued his rowdiness.
Although Ji Liaos brain was muddled, he didnt forget his gift for He Cheng Ming, so he checked the time and saw that it was nearly eleven. If they walked home from here, they should be in time for the new year at midnight.
Shall we leave first? He whispered to He Cheng Ming.
He Cheng Ming raised his brows but agreed. He said goodbye to Lin Jiang before leaving with Ji Liao.
On New Years Eve, the streets were very quiet. The cold wind sobered Ji Liao slightly but his body was still a little weak. He Cheng Ming noticed his sluggishposure and squatted in front of him, saying, Climb on.
Ji Liao did not argue and leaned onto him. Anyway, it wasnt the first time he had carried him.
You cant drink and yet you still want to, He Cheng Ming scolded softly.
Ji Liao swayed his legs and whispered, Because Im happy.
Within half an hour, they arrived at Ji Liaos neighbourhood. Xu Ai Wen was at the Meng familys house, so there was no one at home. He could invite He Cheng Ming inside and give him the gift.
Ji Liao had nned very well, but when he reached the stairs, he saw a familiar person. That person seemed to have waited for him for a long time. So long that his legs went numb and he had to pace up and down.
Ji Liao jumped off of He Cheng Mings back and ran towards the figure. Yu Jin? Why are you here?
When Yu Jin saw him, his eyes lit up immediately as if a kindle of hope lit up, then he felt uneasy.
After thinking it over for a long time, he decided to tell Ji Liao his feelings for him. It happened to be Chinese New Year, and he hoped to have a fresh start with him, so he came over full of anticipation.
But once he came here he found that Ji Liao wasnt home. Even Auntie wasnt around. It hadnt been easy to make this decision, so he couldnt resign himself to go back. So he had waited here.
I have something to tell you. He didnt really dare to look Ji Liao in the eyes, and as his gaze wandered around, he saw He Cheng Ming walking towards them. Yu Jins face morphed into shock.
Ji Liao turned his head, then smiled at Yu Jin. Im together with him.
He had wanted to find a chance to tell Yu Jin many times, but he found it difficult to bring it up, so he kept dying it. Coincidentally, they had bumped into each other today.
Together? Yu Jin was incredulous and felt a dull ache in his heart.
Ji Liao nodded, thinking that the sudden revtion of his sexual orientation caused his shock, and said firmly, Yes, its the kind of rtionship that youre thinking of.
He Cheng Ming walked to his side and the two of them held hands, their fingers intertwined.
Yu Jin retreated two steps away and suddenly felt awkward.
Earlier, you had something to say? Ji Liao cocked his head, questioning.
Yu Jin was stunned at their disy, and his eyes fell on their sped hands for a long time. He was toote. Ji Liao and He Cheng Ming had been in contact with each other for three or four months, so if Yu Jin hade to terms with his feelings and confessed before then, would the results have been different?
Nothing much. Just wanted to give you your New Year present. He gave the picture he was holding to Ji Liao.
It was a square frame wrapped in brown kraft paper.
Ji Liao took it. Maybe it was the lingering alcohol in his system, but his usual sensible and caring side did not exist currently. He couldnt sense the boys disappointment as he said jokingly, I hope its not a drawing of an old man!
He still remembered their antics from their previous conversation.
No. Yu Jins lips pulled and thought to himself, I drew you, the person whos in my heart.
Thats good. Ji Liao epted it happily.
Then, Im off.
Yu Jin passed by He Cheng Ming without a nce.
He Cheng Ming watched his distant figure with discerning eyes. Why didnt he reveal his true intentions?
Subconsciously, he clenched Ji Liaos hand. His baby could attract people and have them fall for him. He secretly congratted himself for his decision on making his move. If he had waited for Ji Liao to like someone else before making a move, his chances would have been slimmer, based on Ji Liaos character.
Lets go. I also have a present for you. He pulled him upstairs.
Chapter 47 - You Don’t Know the Reason I Didn’t Invite You?
Chapter 47 - You Dont Know the Reason I Didnt Invite You?
At the KTV, only Lin Jiang and two other guys remained.
The two guys had arrived together, so before they left, they asked him anxiously, Have you called home?
Lin Jiang waved his hand impatiently, indicating that they were nagging and to leave quickly.
Call? Like hell he would. If his father saw him like this, he would be hung up and beaten!
Earlier, he had downed a few bottles of alcohol, and now his head hurt. He wanted to recover before deciding what to do next.
Once the others left, the room quietened. After the bustle, it now became deste.
Lin Jiangy dejectedly on the sofa and took out his phone. He scrolled through it, and except for He Cheng Ming, there was no one else he could trust on the list they were all fair-weather friends.
He expelled a breath and threw his phone aside.
Closing his eyes, he dozed off.
In between consciousness, he felt someone sit beside him. The person touched his face with cool fingertips. Since his face was very hot, he didnt protest and even felt veryfortable.
He thought for a long time but couldnt guess who it was, so he opened his eyes and vaguely saw a pair of golden eyes.
Gold sses???
Fuck!
Lin Jiang awoke and jumped up from the sofa, putting himself three feet away from that person.
Gu Ming Rens face fell. He didnt understand why he could be all smiles with everyone but became so resistant towards him.
He had heard about this gathering from others and stared at his phone for three hours without getting a call from him. Seemed like he never had the intention to invite him.
Fine, helle by himself. When he entered, he saw this scene of him lying on the sofa like an abandoned dog. Strangely pitiful, he couldnt help but give a little care to him. In the end, when he woke, he became hostile.
Gu Ming Renughed coldly, Am I poisonous? Are you so afraid of me?
Lin Jiang scolded, Why stop at being poisonous? Youre a fucking pervert!
With that, he rubbed his face hard. At the thought of the boys hands touching his face, he felt goosebumps all over. Shit, it was disgusting. Hepletely forgot that he had enjoyed it earlier.
A pervert, really. Gu Ming Rens eyes suddenly became fierce; he got up gracefully and walked towards him.
Stop right there! Lin Jiang was really afraid, unable to predict the boys intentions. Last time, he was kissed forcefully. This time, would he force himself onto him?!
In an instant, he clenched his butt.
A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. He yielded immediately, Gu Shao, if you have something to say, you can say it right there. I have very good hearing. Really!
Was he admitting defeat?
Gu Ming Ren raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, This son of a bitch really needed to be handled with force instead of gentleness. He even learned from He Cheng Ming and invited him out to the movies. If he had known before all of this, he would have gotten straight to the point.
Thene here, he said coldly, putting on airs.
Lin Jiang was very unsure, but sensing the frigidity surrounding the boy, he was really afraid. He cried out the terms, Then you cant do anything to me!
A smile bloomed in Gu Ming Rens heart but his face remained tense as he hummed in acknowledgement.
Not able to trust him at all, Lin Jiang hugged a cushion to his chest and approached him. He said sincerely, Gu Shao, I think you might have misunderstood me.
Gu Ming Ren lowered his body and sat on the edge of the ss table with his gaze still on him. What misunderstanding?
Lin Jiang answered, The misunderstanding that I like guys. But Im really straight. I like types like Meng Yao Yao good-looking, good personality and big-breasted. Yes, I like big breasts!
The moment he said he liked Meng Yao Yao, Gu Ming Ren became very annoyed. Subconsciously, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then felt for his lighter. It wasnt there. At once, Lin Jiang brought the one provided for free in the room to him in a henchman-like manner.
Gu Ming Ren lit his cigarette, puffed out white smoke and, with a distant look in his eye, said, What does that have to do with me?
Lin Jiang had a puzzled expression. Then heard him add, Ji Liao used to be straight.
That only shows hes bi! But Im purely straight! Lin Jiang immediately retorted.
Gu Ming Renughed and tapped on his cigarette. You know a lot for a purely straight person.
Its because I was curious and researched! Lin Jiang was sullen. Thest time when he was forcefully kissed by him, he went home and researched rted information.
About whether kissing could make him bend, whether straight guys could be bent, how to determine whether he was straight or not. Anyway, he had researched thoroughly.
Gu Shao, actually, I think you were just influenced by Ming Ge. Him engaging in gay practices is his business, you shouldnt learn from him! Moreover, whats so good about a guy, especially me whos scummy and sloppy. Why dont I introduce a girl to you? Guaranteed to be beautiful!
Ling Jiang spoke until his mouth was dry. He sighed internally, not knowing if Gu Ming Ren, this pervert, would absorb his plea.
You think Im learning from He Cheng Ming? Gu Ming Ren chose this part to rebut as if it was the only thing he had heard.
No no no, how could I think that hahaha. Lin Jiangughed but he cursed in his heart. He had said so much but he only picked out that one damn part to question?!
Just go ahead and say what you want to do. He didnt want to suck up to him anymore.
Gu Ming Ren finished his cigarette and pushed the butt into an empty beer can. He thought to himself, I want to do you of course.
But he knew that he shouldnt say that yet. Lin Jiangs grades were poor, but his mind was sharp. Like now, although he was verbally amenable, he was stubborn and kept thinking of how to escape from him. Besides, it was a bad policy to be forceful and he didnt want it to be like thest time, drawing injury just for a kiss. It didnt pay to hurt someone.
So he said cunningly, Well, you didnt invite me to join today so Im not happy. Make me happy and Ill let you go.
Lin Jiang scolded in his heart, Scum, degenerate, damn gay. You dont know the reason I didnt call you? Yet you still rushed toe here. And now you demand me to coax you. Are you the fucking emperor?
Even if you were the emperor, youre unfit to be one! Fuck you!
He scolded to his hearts content but still had to face reality.
Haha, Gu Shao, do you sing?
Gu Ming Ren had a cold expression on his face.
Then Ill sing you a song?
He frowned.
Then Ill tell you a joke.
He got up and took off his coat.
Lin Jiang was so afraid that his legs weakened. Fuck, what was the meaning of this? He couldnt be thinking of forcing himself onto him, right?!
Hold it, Gu Ming Ren. You promised not to do anything to me!
Then move your mouth, he said in a hoarse voice.
Still wanting to take advantage of him! Lin Jiang was anxious. He was dead anyway. If he needed to move his mouth to protect his butt, so be it. He took the initiative and bit with force; his actions were intense and filled with resentment.
When he moved away, his mouth smelled of smoke, making him frown. He asked, Okay, happy now?!
Gu Ming Ren wanted toin that it ended too quickly to get a thorough taste, but it seemed that Lin Jiang had endured to his limits. If he continued to y, they would end up fighting, so he nodded.
Lin Jiang left without looking back and mmed the door shut.
When checking out, he was told that Gu Ming Ren had already settled the bill. He became angrier and threw down a handful of notes, saying loudly, Tips!
Then called for a taxi and left.
When Gu Ming Ren came out, he saw the back of the departed taxi.
He recalled the look of distaste on Lin Jiangs face after the kiss and took out the cigarette box from his pocket. Staring at it for two beats, he sighed and threw it away.
Chapter 48 - He Made It Through All of That
Chapter 48 - He Made It Through All of That
With a turn of the key, Ji Liao stepped inside and turned on the lights, brightening the house.
He Cheng Ming was asked to sit on the sofa while Ji Liao poured him a cup of hot water to warm his hands.
Wait a moment. He ran to his room and took out the gift that he had prepared. It was quite a big box.
For you. Ji Liao bowed his head slightly, feeling a little shy.
He Cheng Ming opened it and saw a dark blue beanie, a blue and white striped scarf, as well as gloves and boat socks of the same franchise ced on soft padding material.
He bought him a warm 4-piece set in regards to his fear of the cold?
He Cheng Ming was speechless. The better Ji Liao treated him, the deeper his heart sank in guilt.
You dont like it? Seeing his silence, Ji Liao was a little disheartened.
He Cheng Ming got up to hug him and his voice trembled slightly. How can that be? Im just so moved. Then he whispered, I didnt prepare a present for you.
Ji Liao encircled his waist and said with a smile, Didnt you already buy me a sweater? Just treat it as my New Years gift.
He Cheng Ming held him tightly in his arms as his eyes moistened.
When the clock sounded at midnight, fireworks and firecrackers set off noisily outside.
Ji Liao went outside to watch the fireworks light up the night sky. He turned around, wanting to call He Cheng Ming out, but instead, he found a handsome face right before him, then his mouth was kissed. His heart warmed and he pulled himself up on the boys neck.
He Cheng Ming carried him into the house and kicked the door shut.
It was a deep and unadulterated kiss without any disruptions.
Ji Liao gradually felt faint and pushed him away, his chest heaving.
Happy New Year, He Cheng Ming whispered.
Ji Liao looked up, his clear eyes were curved. Happy New Year.
Before the two of them could be affectionate once again, Meng Yao Yaos call disturbed them. Meng Yuan had already urged her three times and if she still didnt return home, she would get a scolding!
He Cheng Ming sent him to the designated location, then separated from Ji Liao.
He Cheng Ming stayed in his family home for the winter holidays. Seeing his end-of-term transcript, Zhao Mei Lan, again, persuaded him to skip a grade.
He had refused before in order to stay in the same school as Ji Liao. Now that he was with Ji Liao, it became even less of a possibility for him to skip. Moreover, he was already preparing in advance for his university course.
But Zhao Mei Lan didnt care. She cried and made a fuss. Seeing her son unwilling to give in, she immediately thought of a person and angrily asked him, Do you still like that little male vixen from the Ji family?!
When He Cheng Ming heard little male vixen, he turned his head sharply to look at her. The intensity in his eyes was fierce as if he wanted to kill someone.
Zhao Mei Lan retreated two steps back in fright, then burst into tears; she pointed at He Cheng Ming and sobbed, You, you disrespectful son. Im your mother, not your enemy!
He Cheng Mings face tightened but he restrained his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, Do you treat me as your son? Im just a bargaining chip for you to establish yourself.
She had controlled him ever since he showed his remarkable memory she destroyed his hobbies and shut him in the room, forcing him to study. Only when he received full marks in an exam, would he be able to walk out the door and gain a little freedom.
She forcefully transformed him into an exam genius, but never once asked if he was willing or happy.
As long as she was respected, as long as there was light on her.
What were his joys and sorrows worth?
When Zhao Mei Lan heard him say this, she cried, heartbroken. With tears staining her face, she pulled He Cheng Mings hand and said, Why do you think of Mom that way? When has Mom ever not done what was best for you? Look at yourself now, always in first ce. If I hadnt made you study, would you be able to take first ce? Would your father value you so much? Would he have allowed you to move out? Now you say such things to hurt Mom. I gave birth to you. If I dont treat you as my son, who would treat you as a son?!
Her words were reasonable and emotional. If He Cheng Ming had not personally experienced it, he would have almost believed it.
But now he only wanted tough. When I was nine, you shut me in the room for seventeen days. Remember that? During those entire seventeen days, you kept me from seeing the sun or the night sky. You even kept me from seeing anyone else besides you. The reason for that was because I took second ce.
It was also since then that his temperament started to change it became more indifferent and more difficult to control.
When I was fourteen, you read my diary and discovered that I liked Ji Liao. You forced me to see a psychiatrist, forced me to admit that I was ill and forced me to take medicine. Do you even know the side effects of that medicine? It would slow down a persons responses. It would make your talented son stupid.
His memory had always been good, but after taking the so-called psychological tranquillizer, he gradually found that his thinking was bing sluggish. It was the exam period at that time and because he was afraid of getting second ce, afraid of being locked up again, he begged He Mu Sheng to help him verify it.
Zhao Mei Lans tears stopped as she couldnt believe He Cheng Mings words. She hadnt told anyone about him seeing a psychiatrist.
Because she had to maintain the perfect image of her son in everyones mind. If anyone found out that he had a problematic sexual orientation, she would be destroyed: He Yue Jin would spurn her, and thedies within the circle would look down on her.
So she secretly found a private doctor who specialized in treating psychological illnesses.
Thats impossible. Youre still in first ce now. Your final exam results are number one. How could there be a problem with the medicine?!
She still attempted a final struggle.
He Cheng Ming told her coldly, Because I begged Da Ge to rece the medicine.
Reced it with vitamins.
But consuming too many vitamins also had a side effect that led to the decline of his immune system. During winter, he easily caught colds and fell sick.
His mother didnt have the slightest knowledge of the situation. She only paid attention to his rankings.
Even now, after saying so much, her first reaction was to confirm his words. You told your Da Ge? He knows that youre gay?
Zhao Mei Lan was flustered; she didnt trust He Mu Sheng and was afraid that he would tell He Yue Jin about it. Then her good life woulde to an end. But after careful consideration, it had been two years since he took the medicine. If He Mu Sheng wanted to say something, he would have done so long ago. Why would he wait until now? She was a little relieved.
Regarding her failures towards He Cheng Ming, she asked in concern, How are you now? Were there any other problems?
Then, she added reflectively, Its all Moms fault for not checking the medicine properly. But when you found out, why didnt you just talk to Mom? Did you really believe that Mom would actually hurt you?!
In the end, she still med him.
He Cheng Ming let out a silentugh. Why didnt he tell her directly? What was the result of that? If nothing else, she would just change doctors and medicine. He wasnt stupid.
But now, he made it through all of that.
He wasnt the nine or fourteen year old kid that people could trample on. No one could force him to do anything that he didnt want to do.
Chapter 49 - Im He Cheng Mings Mother
Chapter 49 - Im He Cheng Mings Mother
Dont think about having me skip grades again. Thats all.
There were no benefits in saying more. He Cheng Ming threw out thisst remark, then turned and left.
Zhao Mei Lan felt some trepidation about letting her son take the wrong medicine, and she regretted believing the words of that quack doctor. At the same time, she was d her son was smart enough to sense that something was wrong in time. Otherwise, how could she have been as well-regarded as she was now?
Yes, the respect that she had gained was from relying on He Cheng Ming.
Because she had an outstanding son, He Yue Jin also paid more attention to her and respected her sufficiently. All the friends in their circle also tried their best to get on her good side, hoping that when He Cheng Ming inherited the family business, she would still have them in her view.
She was a woman with no background, hence it hadnt been easy to get to this stage. How could she give it up like this?
So that night, during some pillow talk, she told He Yue Jin that He Cheng Ming wanted to study finance and asked him to find a renowned teacher to mentor him.
The next day, a highly-priced authority in finance was invited to their home. Because it was his father who had issued the order, He Cheng Ming could not refuse. He was allowed to live outside because he had been so obedient. Although he was dissatisfied, he never disobeyed and this time was no exception.
At Zhao Mei Lans request, the mentorship continued for half a month. He Cheng Ming attended sses during the day and night, so he could only talk to Ji Liao through video calls. He was not allowed to quit until the day before school started.
After not seeing him for over ten days, he missed Ji Liao to death. When he left his family house, he went directly to Ji Liaos neighbourhood.
Wearing cotton-padded clothing, Ji Liao hopped his way downstairs. Halfway there, he was impatiently hugged by someone who had rushed up and pressed him against the wall of the staircase. He kissed him crazily as if to relieve his lovesickness.
Once He Cheng Ming had his fill of kisses, he hugged him and asked in a low voice, Missed me?
Ji Liao said, Im still all right.
During the day, he revised his school work. At night, he talked to the other boy through video calls. It was okay as long as they maintainedmunication.
However, someone wasnt happy as he grumbled, You have no conscience. I missed you so much that I nearly went crazy.
Every day, he could only see him through the phone, unable to touch, kiss or hug him. He was so tormented that it wasnt even pleasurable to masturbate.
Ji Liao chuckled, feeling his heart warming, and asked, Are you cold? You travelled for such a long distance.
He Cheng Ming was about to say something when suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from above. He sensed the person in his arms stiffen and he immediately pressed his head into his chest.
An elderly woman, who came down the stairs to throw out the trash, nced at the two of them. She recalled all the kids in the building in her mind, but couldnt think of which familys daughter was involved in this early romantic affair, so she gave up and left!
Ji Liaos heart was pounding, realising that it wasnt safe here. He took the boys hand, ran downstairs, and rushed outside of themunity.
The two of them walked habitually to the bus stop. Ji Liao felt that it was colder than usual, so he wanted him to go back early. Anyway, this short time together wouldnt seem much since school resumed tomorrow.
No way, He Cheng Ming refused seriously. He couldnt leave before achieving his goal.
Why not? Ji Liao didnt understand and looked at him.
Let me touch you for a while before I go. His hoarse tone carried a deep desire as he led him to the back of the bus stop. This section of the road was rtively unfrequented and there was no one around at night.
Seeing his impatience, Ji Liao lifted his clothes generously to reveal a pale expense of his waist.
He Cheng Mings eyes reddened, and his long fingers explored two rounds before gradually moving down to his groin.
Ji Liaos face flushed, and his body immediately tensed. His response was so cute as it showed his inexperience.
He Cheng Ming chuckled and pulled his hand back. After suffering from pent-up frustrations for half a month, he was finally happy.
The next day, school reopened. It was a new semester and the ss was bustling with everyone in high spirits.
As soon as Ji Liao arrived, he was informed that he had entered the top 100 in Liberal Arts. He had also gotten 110 points in Mathematics, the third ce in ss.
Xu Xiao Jing told him in excitement, Youre now in 62nd ce!
During his previous term, he didnt make it to the top 100, so whod expect that his grades would skyrocket to this point in one try.
How can you be so happy over 62nd ce? A bad student is still a bad student. Lin Jia Sui passed by them while rolling her eyes, then ced her schoolbag in the drawer.
She had just checked her own position. 5th position an improvement by one position from the previous term.
Do you have a problem? So its only you, oh great ss monitor, who can be good in her studies? Everyone else is a bad student. Xu Xiao Jing pretended to retch to show her disgust towards her.
My studies have always been good, unlike someones who has a brain like a pigs. After the New Year, Lin Jia Sui seemed to have been dipped in poison, which provoked Xu Xiao Jing to want to hit her. If not for Ji Liao stopping her, she would fight until the other party cried out Uncle.
The original good mood had been spoiled, and Xu Xiao Jing was extremely annoyed, cursing that they were damned unlucky!
Ji Liao was speechless, but he was a boy and he didnt want to bicker with the girls, so he dropped it.
It wasnt long before ss began. The form teacher announced that they would be holding a thank-you event for a recent donation to the school.
The main idea was that a rich person donated money to construct aboratory and invited the local media to report on it. The school cooperated by holding a donation ceremony, so all the students had to attend.
That afternoon, Xu Xiao Jing found out why Lin Jia Sui suddenly acted that way in the morning. It turned out that the event needed four student representatives for a photography session with the donor, and they had requested for two male and two female students.
Of course, the male students were He Cheng Ming and Gu Ming Ren, while the female students chosen were an extreme school bully and the other, based on grades, should have been Lin Jia Sui. But for unknown reasons, the position was given to Meng Yao Yao instead.
So Lin Jia Sui vented her anger on them.
Xu Xiao Jing was so outraged that she rolled up her sleeves, wishing she could instantly tear up that white lotus flower.
Ji Liao, who was sitting behind her, didnt say anything; his burning gaze was fixed on the stage, looking at the boy who had an indifferent expression on his face.
As the top student in school, he had to make a speech, but it was obvious that he didnt write the script himself, stopping every two sentences. In the end, he simply rolled up the paper in his hand and took the opportunity to end it.
Next to him, the principal was very embarrassed and quickly took over the microphone to announce the next program.
At this time, the wealthy donor came out and it was a woman in her thirties or forties. She wore a pair of sunsses, and how she dressed gave the impression that she was very gentle, like ady from olden times.
Below the stage, the news media were snapping photos. Thedy seemed to like He Cheng Ming in particr as she constantly pulled him towards her.
When the event ended, Ji Liao was suddenly called away and brought directly to the principals office.
He walked in, dazed, and saw the Mediterranean principal nodding and bowing. He said to the woman sitting on the sofa, This is Ji Liao from ss twelve.
The woman was the rich donor from earlier.
She took off her sunsses with grace and casually swept a nce over Ji Liao. He hadnt changed much in three years, only that he was a little taller now.
Do you know who I am? Her red lips slightly opened and her tone was haughty as she cast her gaze at the sunsses in her hand.
Ji Liao frowned and said honestly, I dont know. He was confused as to why he had been called here.
The woman gave a smallugh. Im He Cheng Mings mother. You should know this.
Ji Liao raised his head abruptly, his face filled with surprise and embarrassment.
Her identity surprised him, and the fact that she probably knew about his rtionship with her son embarrassed him. If not, she wouldnt have asked for him today.
Hello, Auntie. No matter what, he was still obedient.
Obedient in greeting.
Zhao Mei Lan signalled the principal to leave. When the door closed, she revealed her true appearance and sneered at Ji Liao. Auntie? You cant afford to call me Auntie. You have such good skills to make my son bent for three years.
Ji Liao didnt understand. Bent for three years? Whats more, it should be He Cheng Ming who made him bent, right?!
He was about to ask when the closed door suddenly flung open. The boy, who gave the speech on stage earlier, rushed in angrily and ran straight to Zhao Mei Lan, scaring her into retreating a few steps back.
What did you say to him?! The boy clenched his fists and looked fierce, seeming like he would attack the person in front of him in the next second.
Upon witnessing this, Ji Liao hurried over and held him back while asking softly, Whatre you doing? Isnt she your mother?
He Cheng Ming asked him to go outside, but Ji Liao was so worried that he didnt move. The person in front of him shouted, Go outside! His temper rose, and he could no longer control himself.
Ji Liaos eyes glistened and appeared frightened. He released the hold on the other boys clothes and turned to leave.
He Cheng Ming regretted it in that instant, feeling a stab in his heart.
He red at the woman on the sofa and asked again, What did you say to him?!
Zhao Mei Lan was also frightened by her sons angry disposition and swallowed before saying, Mom just wanted him to stay away from you, but before I could say anything, you came in!
At this, He Cheng Ming ced the heart that was suspended in his throat back into his chest. It was fine, she didnt say anything to him.
He broke out in a cold sweat, but when he recovered he said heartlessly, Im warning you, if you look for Ji Liao again, dont me me for disappointing you. Youre my mother and I cant touch you. But I can destroy myself.
The graveness of his words frightened Zhao Mei Lan. Whatre you talking about?! How can you destroy yourself?!
I cane out, quit school, or even kill someone... Before he could finish, his face was pped.
Zhao Mei Lan stood up with her hands trembling, and she threatened, How dare you! If you attempt toe out or quit school, Ill, Ill die for you to see!
She had never expected her good son, who she had personally groomed, to be like this. That male vixen was to me. She hated Ji Liao so much.
Are you willing to die? He Cheng Ming sneered. He didnt want to talk any more nonsense, so he said with finality, Ill tell you onest time. Stay away from Ji Liao. As long as you dont get involved in our business, Ill bring glory to you and let you rest easy as the wealthydy. If not, Im finished and so are you.
Zhao Mei Lan was so angry that she felt dizzy. She pointed at him but couldnt speak. Atst, she copsed and sat down on the sofa.
She wasnt stupid and knew that as long as her son was with a man, she would always be worried. But for now, she didnt have any other choice except to agree.
Chapter 50 - Ive Liked You Since Three Years Ago
Chapter 50 - Ive Liked You Since Three Years Ago
When He Cheng Ming came out from the office, he found that Ji Liao had disappeared. As he walked, he sent a message to him: Baby, I was wrong. Where are you?
The other boy didnt reply. He hurried to ss twelve and saw Ji Liao slumped on his table in a discontented manner. Originally, he was facing the window, but upon seeing him, he instantly turned to the other side.
This meant he was angry.
When Xu Xiao Jing saw the big-shot school bully standing at the door wanting to speak yet not saying anything, she poked the shoulder of the person in front of her. Ji Liao, He Cheng Ming seems to be looking for you!
Ji Liao nced at her, then said sullenly, Dont bother about him.
Xu Xiao Jing was shocked! Since he had the nerve to say that about He Cheng Ming, he wasnt afraid of the number one person in the school! Thinking about it, the two of them might have fallen out with each other. It was as if the hot-tempered seme lord was kneeling and begging the adorable little uke for forgiveness. It was simply too cute! She fell into the sweet but unrealistic fantasy.
He Cheng Ming didnt leave until the bell rang for ss. During this time, Ji Liao didnt even nce at him.
What reason did he have for being fierce to him?!
Ji Liao ttened his lips and felt wronged. After allowing his thoughts to run wild, he wondered if He Cheng Ming wanted to cut ties with him in front of his mother, hence had yelled at him and asked him to leave.
Did he regret it?
But he had alreadyid his cards out on the table with Xu Ai Wen.
That feeling of insecurity reappeared.
Ji Liao wasnt in the mood for ss and checked his phone from time to time. But until school was over, there was only one lonely message.
Alone, he packed his bag and left, only to finally meet the person he wanted to see at the school gate.
When He Cheng Ming saw him, he strode over. Ji Liao wanted to avoid him but he held him firmly by his shoulders.
Dont ignore me. Its my fault, Im sorry, he pleaded in a low voice.
Ji Liao turned his head away, not wanting to forgive him just yet.
Without warning, his face was kissed. His eyes widened and he looked around in a panic. School had just been let out and there was a huge flow of people at the school gate. Many people who saw it froze on the spot.
Im sorry, I shouldnt have yelled at you. He Cheng Ming was still apologising.
At first, the students nearby hadnt paid attention to what was going on, but now they understood the situation. Everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning C the two of them were dating?!
Moreover, He Cheng Ming seemed to have done something wrong and was begging the other boy for forgiveness?
It was pandemonium, and some even wanted to use their phones to take some photos. But after a sweeping gaze from the school bully He, they were frightened into restraining their phones.
Ji Liao couldnt think straight, and his mind nked. Although he didnt have any intention to conceal it, their revtion didnt have to be so high-profile, right?!
When he recovered, the person beside him had already held his hand, and with a smile, said, If you dont say anything, Ill take it that you forgive me.
Forgive my foot!
Ji Liao red at him, then pulled his hand away and turned to walk elsewhere. After taking a few steps, he realised that He Cheng Ming was still standing at his original spot with an expression like a dog that had just been abandoned by his owner. He felt an ache in his heart and returned to pull him along.
I knew that you couldnt bear to me me. He took this undeserved gain for granted as he received a kick from Ji Liao.
Fuck!
This cant be real, right?!
My male god is gay. Im heart-broken.
Whos the other guy?!
When they disappeared together, the melon-eating crowd gradually recovered but could hardly contain their excitement. In a sh, the story spread, shocking the schools discussion forum and QQ space.
At the same time, Ji Liao was beating He Cheng Ming violently. Supposedly violent, but there wasnt actual force since he was just venting some anger.
He Cheng Ming stood there, allowing him to vent. When the other boy cooled down, he sighed and said, I havent married you yet, but Ive already experienced domestic violence.
Ji Liao was embarrassed at the word married. His face turned red and he stared daggers at him.
Who wanted to be taken as a wife by him! He was a man!
Moreover...
Youre the one who used domestic violence! He had a fierce look on his face, like a rabbit that was baring its teeth and brandishing its ws.
However, He Cheng Ming found him adorable and pinched his face, whispering, I would never hit you.
Ji Liao couldnt win with words, and he hated it so much that his teeth itched. In the end, he brought up an old issue. Exin to me why you treated me like that in front of your mother.
He pulled a face and put on an air of importance.
He Cheng Ming said earnestly, Because my rtionship with my mother isnt very good.
I was afraid that she would say something bad to you.
Ji Liao didnt expect such a reason, and his tight expression rxed. He looked at the person in front of him and asked carefully, Does she also not understand?
Just like Xu Ai Wen, who was not able to understand why he liked boys.
Whether she understands or not isnt important. I only care about how you feel. The youth spoke words of endearment candidly, his eyes tender and full of expectation. The sharpness of his body turned into gentleness, and he looked nakedly at the person in front of him.
Ji Liao hummed, then thought of something Zhao Mei Lan had said and asked curiously, By the way, why did your mother say that I made you bent for three years?
The question stunned He Cheng Ming for a while, and panic shed for a moment in his eyes, which Ji Liao caught.
Are you hiding something from me? He asked uneasily.
It took a long time for the other boy to let out a sound, but with difficulty, Mmm.
Then he exined in a hoarse voice, Ive liked you since three years ago.
Although Ji Liao thought about it carefully, the only thing that came to mind was that they shared the same high school. But we didnt know each other three years ago.
He Cheng Ming said, You didnt know me, but I knew you.
With that, he looked at the boys expression and continued, In Qing Zhi Mountain, there is a He family vi there.
Oh.
Ji Liao didnt suspect anything else, only that it was very coincidental. Moreover, they didnt meet around that time and yet he came to like him? But this also exined why he had suddenly confessed his feelings from the beginning. As it turned out, he had his eyes on him for a long time!
Ji Liao felt sweetness blossoming in his heart, and his lips pursed in a smile.
His wild thoughts of unease vanishedpletely, bing a thick, honeyed feeling.
When He Cheng Ming saw his changedposure, he heaved a sigh of relief. Since he had confessed this much, there was no way to retreat; let time uncover the rest of the truth.
His arms encircled the person in front of him, and he asked softly, If I did something wrong, would you forgive me?
What is it? Sensing the boys uneasiness, Ji Liao looked up and asked.
He Cheng Ming rubbed his head and said with a smile, Its nothing. Just scaring you.
Although Ji Liao didnt say it out loud, he felt that something wasnt right. He Cheng Ming wasnt someone who would ask such a thing for no reason.
But he couldnt figure out what He Cheng Ming could have done wrong to make him so anxious. The only connection between them was Qing Zhi Mountain. Could it be something rted to Ji Qing Wen?
His heart jumped, but it was quickly negated. The police had determined that Ji Qing Wens matter was an ident. He didnt take any safety measures when climbing onto the roof. It had also been raining heavily, so he slipped and fell.
This was the truth. As Ji Liao had often gone to the construction site, he knew that Ji Qing Wen had never taken any safety measures.
He always thought that his dad would be all right ever since he was young, but something unexpected happened.
Im going back. Since He Cheng Ming didnt want to say anything, he didnt press the topic any further.
He Cheng Ming hummed in acknowledgement and sent him up the bus.
Ji Liao had just found a seat when his phone started vibrating continuously.
He opened it and saw that Lin Jiang, Xu Xiao Jing, Meng Yao Yao, and even Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen had sent him messages, all with the same content: He and He Cheng Ming had been exposed.
Ji Liao knew that he couldnt hide it, but he didnt think about how quick the news would spread.
That was fast!
With trembling hands, he replied to them: I know.
On He Cheng Mings end, he received a call from Gu Ming Ren, who asked him straightforwardly, Did you do that on purpose?
He clenched his phone and answered, Mmm.
Gu Ming Ren was silent and had to admit that He Cheng Ming had more guts than him. He had actually dared toe out openly. What will you do next? Your father will never let you get away with this.
He Cheng Ming let out augh. My Mom will control it. Its okay.
Zhao Mei Lan would never let this matter spread to He Yue Jin. There could only be so many mouths in the school. Besides the principal, there were just a few others left who could report this directly to He Yue Jin.
He took this opportunity to send Zhao Mei Lan a warning to stop her from keeping her eye on Ji Liao.
But your father will know sooner orter. Gu Ming Rens remark was also for himself.
Prolonging it was never the best solution.
Then well talk about it when it happens. He hung up.
He Cheng Ming stared at his phone. He actually understood what Gu Ming Ren wanted to ask, but he had no answer. People like them, who were born into powerful families, were not allowed toe out. But his resistance was hopeful because he still had He Mu Sheng. He wasnt the only one in the He family with guts. The worst-case scenario was to leave the family, which made no difference to him.
But it wasnt the same for Gu Ming Ren as he was the only child of the Gu family. Not only did he have a huge fortune to inherit, but he also had to carry on the family line. He wanted to resist too, but it was fruitless.
Since he realised that he liked Lin Jiang, Gu Ming Ren became increasingly conflicted and miserable. He wanted to get closer but was unable tomit to the boy. All the love that umted in his heart had be stronger over time, which made him unbearably restless. He tried his best to suppress it with logic, and in the end, he could only rely on cigarettes to numb himself.
But Lin Jiang didnt like the smell of cigarettes, so he gave up smoking.
When Ji Liao returned home, Xu Ai Wen was preparing a meal in the kitchen. The two of them had been in a cold war since before the New Year and had not reconciled yet.
Ji Liao washed his hands and sat at the dining table. He heard Xu Ai Wen ask him, How did you do forst semesters final exams?
Quite good. He showed his results slip to her.
When Xu Ai Wen nced at it and found that he had made quite an improvement, she shut her mouth. She thought that Ji Liaos performance would decline after having a boyfriend, but she never expected it to improve instead.
At night, when she saw the light on in Ji Liaos room, she cracked the door open and saw him working on his homework. Upon witnessing this scene, she went to the kitchen to prepare some supper for him.
Thank you, Mom. Ji Liao smiled at her, then started devouring the noodles.
At that moment, Xu Ai Wen realised that her son seemed to have changed and was no longer as depressed as before. The smile directed at her from earlier was as warm as the sun, just like how Ji Qing Wen used to be.
Ji Liaos helpless face shed in her mind when he had told her that he had grown up, but she didnt believe him.
Rest early. Xu Ai Wen reached out and touched Ji Liaos head.
Okay. Ji Liao nodded.
Chapter 51 - I Dont Believe He Will Beat Up Girls
Chapter 51 - I Dont Believe He Will Beat Up Girls
The next day, after leaving hismunity, he saw the tall and slender youth leaning against the bus stop sign.
The boys long legs were straight; he wore a pair of ck jeans with a rusty red velveteen coat; both of his hands were stuffed in his pockets, and with indifference on his handsome face, he disyed a cold demeanour.
Ji Liaos eyes brightened and he trotted over, feeling that today, the other boy was tall, handsome and stylish.
When He Cheng Ming saw him approaching, his expressionless face suddenly revealed a smile and he automatically stretched out a hand to hold his.
Seeing that the one beside him kept stealing nces at him, he lowered his eyes and asked, What are you looking at?
Ji Liao said honestly, Looking at your handsomeness.
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows. He didnt expect him to be a little Yan Gou, but he openly epted his appreciative gaze.
They got on the bus together. Ji Liao didnt obtain sufficient sleepst night, so he leaned against the window to make up for it and asked He Cheng Ming to call him once they arrived.
After a while, two girls came over. They were shy but excited as they pushed and shoved each other, until finally one of them asked softly, Hello handsome, can I add your WeChat contact?
Even on a bus, there were people hitting on him.
He Cheng Ming nced at them and said coldly, You cant.
The rejected girl was a little awkward, but she didnt give up and continued to ask, Do you already have a girlfriend?
He Cheng Ming looked at the person beside him and noticed that Ji Liaos eyshes were quivering slightly. He frowned and said, Yes, hes sleeping. Dont make any noise.
The two girls were shocked and deted, then they left, disappointed.
From the beginning of the conversation, Ji Liao had been awake and was feeling a little jealous. He thought that He Cheng Ming was too good at attracting the opposite sex. More than that, it included both boys and girls. There was really no sense of security at all.
He opened his eyes hazily and adjusted his sitting posture, but his head was gently pressed onto a shoulder. Sleep a little longer, He Cheng Ming whispered.
Ji Liaos heart warmed and he napped again.
In school, it wasnt unexpected that he attracted all sorts of judgemental looks, apanied by pointing and whispering. Ji Liao lowered his head and walked towards his ssroom.
However, it was the same with his ssmates. To his face, they greeted him cheerfully, but behind his back, they started muttering; they looked at him with a mixture of ridicule and scorn. In short, they were not actually friendly.
Although Ji Liao had been mentally prepared, it was still difficult to avoid feeling embarrassed and helpless, as if he had done something shameful and had to endure everyone treating him as a joke.
He sat in his seat and Xu Xiao Jing rushed up tofort him. Its okay, Ji Liao. I support you!
He forced a smile for her, but Ji Liao didnt say much.
The atmosphere in ss remained strange until the bell rang, indicating the start of sses.
Since it was a new semester, the ssmittee would be re-elected. The form teacher asked everyone to actively nominate. In thepetition for appointing ss monitor, someone shouted out Ji Liaos name and many people seconded it. Comments, such as there would be a mountain to lean on, mixed with several words of righteous rmendations led him to be confused as to whether they were sincere or joking.
Ji Liao lowered his head and pursed his lips. Hearing the form teacher read the list of shortlisted members, his heart was beating like a drum. When it was read until the monitor, he stood up and said lightly, I wont participate.
The form teacher was stunned Ji Liao had always given him the impression that he was obedient and shy, and would hardly refuse others. He didnt expect him to express his opinion so directly this time. But he didnt urge him to stay in the election, and just said, Since Ji Liao quit, the monitor this year will remain as Jia Sui.
At the end of the ssmittee campaign, some meddlesome students went to check out the votes. When they found that many people voted for Ji Liao, they made amotion.
Hearing this, Lin Jia Sui felt ashamed. She rushed forwards and tore the voting tickets up, then berated in a strict tone, Who allowed you to touch the things on the teachers desk!? She disyed the imposing manner of a ss monitor.
The two boys who checked the tickets went away resentfully. They couldnt provoke the great monitor.
Lin Jia Sui had been angry from the start. She thought that her bing the monitor went without saying. Ji Liao was just a clown who had jumped over a beam, but now he could be considered in the same wavelength topete with her! While thinking about it, she met him face to face at the door of the ssroom.
Get out of the way! Disgusting person. She made no secret of her hate and disgust.
Chen Li Wen, who came back from the toilet with Ji Liao, couldnt stand this. He stepped up and said, Who are you calling disgusting? Who do you think you are just because youre the monitor?
Lin Jia Sui normally didnt mind her own business, so she was disliked by the boys in the ss, especially Chen Li Wen who was mischievous and often had his name recorded by her. So this time, he was not only defending Ji Liao but also taking revenge for himself.
I wasnt talking about you! Why are you assuming that I am!? After all, she was a girl. Being shown direct hatred was difficult to swallow. Her face was red but she didnt want to be outdone as she red at Chen Li Wen in a degrading manner. Or were you trying to get on He Cheng Mings good side by speaking up for Ji Liao? Good-for-nothing.
Chen Li Wen had a bad temper, as he gave her an angry push. If not for Ji Liao reaching out to support her, Lin Jia Sui would have probably fallen down.
Dont touch me! She shook off Ji Liaos hand.
Ji Liaos good intentions were mistaken for ill intent and he no longer paid her any heed. He pulled Chen Li Wen away while Chen Li Wens face held resentment. Youre just too nice!
Ji Liao shrugged but just felt that it wasnt necessary to argue with the person who always looked at you with coloured eyes. Because she had prejudice in her heart, any exnation was futile.
Next, there were two periods of math lessons. Halfway through, the math teacher received a phone call and left due to unknown reasons, leaving them with two problems for them to solve. Before long, the form teacher came to announce a self-study period.
The former stiffness of the ss rxed. No one was watching over them and self-study was basically hanging out. The students chatted in groups of twos and threes. Li You Xin had been eager to pursue Xu Xiao Jing recently, so he had pretended to sit beside Ji Liao, only for him to converse with Xu Xiao Jing. Their conversation became more and more energetic, exuding sounds of faintughter that hurt Lin Jia Suis ears!
Xu Xiao Jing, Ji Liao, can you shut up? She pped the table and stood up to take attendance.
The ss quietened down.
It was the fourth time. Ji Liao had already given in enough, but he couldnt understand why she was always targeting him.
Did you hear me talking? His face was tight and his tone cold, very different from his normal appearance.
Lin Jia Sui knew she was in the wrong yet she stubbornly insisted, Anyway, you bunch are the noisiest! Then she shifted her focus to Li You Xin and said in a loud voice, Li You Xin, go back to your seat!
You didnt hear me, so why did you call out my name? Ji Liao continued to question, his expression a little angry.
Lin Jia Sui didnt say anything. She rolled her eyes, ignored him and sat down to do her homework.
You should apologise to me. Ji Liaos voice wasnt loud but it was enough for everyone in the ss to hear.
Lin Jia Sui turned to re at him in anger. Why should I apologise to you?! Dont think you can be so arrogant with He Cheng Ming by your side. I dont believe he will beat up girls! Engaging in gay practices, shameless!
Although everyone discussed in private about the two of them, nobody would bring it up publicly. First, it would obstruct He Cheng Mings abuse of authority. Second, it was someone elses rtionship and they were satisfied being on-lookers. It wasnt necessary to blow up the matter and let the teacher find out.
Obviously, Lin Jia Sui didnt care about these things. With confidence, she believed that she held a proper viewpoint and wasnt afraid of anyone.
Xu Xiao Jing was unbearably angry and sent a message to Lin Jiang telling him that Ji Liao was being bullied, and to ask He Cheng Ming toe over quickly.
ss two was having their PE lesson at that time. With just one nce, He Cheng Ming ran towards the ssroom blocks.
Ji Liao didnt normally get angry and most of the time, he would sulk instead. But this time, his endurance reached its limit. He got up, walked towards Lin Jia Sui, pulled her up and said coldly, Apologise to me.
He was, after all, 1.78m in height, which was very tall in front of the 1.62m Lin Jia Sui. Being grabbed by the arm, Lin Jia Suis face flushed and she struggled to say, Men and women shouldnt touch. Dont you know this?! Let go!
Before Ji Liao could say anything, a figure burst through the door. The person reached his side in two or three steps and asked, worried, Are you okay?
Ji Liaos tense expression wore off in an instant and became shy. He red at him and demanded softly, Why are you here?!
He Cheng Ming didnt recognise the girl in front of him, but looking at the postures of the two and seeing that something had provoked Ji Liao to the point of action, the situation wasnt good. Full of hostility, he looked ruthlessly at the person and ordered, What did you say?!
The climax came so suddenly that the people of ss twelve boiled with excitement as they watched this scene of quarreling immortals with wide eyes.
Lin Jia Sui was a little scared. She felt wronged and her tears fell, causing the girls nearby toe over and speak for her. You two boys bullying Jia Sui, a girl, is too much!
He Cheng Ming sneered. He held her wrist, pulled her up and forced her to look into his eyes. If you piss me off, girls will also be beaten up in the same manner! With that, he released her and she fell into her seat.
Lin Jia Sui was shocked and became afraid. After being threatened by the school bully, she slumped on her table and cried.
He Cheng Ming frowned and looked like he was bing angry, but Ji Liao quickly persuaded him to leave. Although it was a self-study ss, he was being too unrestrained!
Right then, the school bully turned into an ordinary teenager as he smiled at Ji Liao in a docile manner.
The students eyes almost fell out. The world was too fantastic and He Cheng Ming was so awesome!
Quickly leave. Ji Liao pushed him out but unexpectedly met the returning math teacher at the door.
The math teacher had lived for so long but it was the first time he had been called to a meeting in concern of a students young romantic affair. Once he heard that it was Ji Liao, and also that he was gay, his head started pounding.
The instructions from above were to not discuss this matter and that he should be lenient or even shut an eye if required. In other words, he shouldnt be hard on them, especially towards He Cheng Ming.
But this kid was really arrogant, bringing his rtionship matters into the ssroom.
The math teacher was a little unhappy; he had been assigned to teach the liberal arts students but didnt think it was very interesting. On top of that, the students grades were average. Today, he finally ran into the number one among the science students, and upon seeing him, he wanted to give him a hard time.
He Cheng Ming, right? Why arent you in ss? He spoke as he walked into the ssroom, then turned and changed a few words of the two problems he had left on the board earlier.
Were having a PE lesson, he answered.
Oh, it doesnt matter. You can solve this problem for me. The math teacher put the chalk in his hand.
He Cheng Ming epted it silently. Looking at the problem on the ckboard, he wrote without hesitation until he filled up half of the ckboard.
The math teacher nodded as he looked at it. He felt the solution was very satisfactory. Atst, he patted the boy on the shoulder, indicating that he could go ande again when he was free.
Chapter 52 - Do You Know What Youre Doing?
Chapter 52 - Do You Know What Youre Doing?
After a day of sses, Ji Liao was packing his schoolbag and preparing to leave when Chen Li Wen and Li You Xin suddenly ran over, propped a basketball on his table and asked him if he wanted to y for a few rounds.
Sincest years basketball match, the three of them had been getting on well.
Ji Liaos hands paused. In the past, he always yed basketball with Yu Jin, but because he was studying art, he no longer came for ss. Moreover, he was in a bad mood today, so ying a few games to dpress was good.
Okay. He answered eagerly.
Together, they walked to the outdoor basketball courts in high spirit. There were seven or eight locations, and they yed once they found an empty one.
Ji Liaos sullenness caused his shooting and dribbling to be a bit problematic, so much so that Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen were caught unprepared.
Nearby, He Cheng Ming and Lin Jiang passed by. Lin Jiang nced over and realised that it was Ji Liao! He immediately reported to Ming Ge that he found a trace of his sister-inw in front of him!
He Cheng Mings gaze travelled over just in time to see Ji Liao with the ball. He turned smoothly, stepped up to shoot and scored. His eyebrows rose. Although he had no interest towards basketball, he became excited to y after watching Ji Liao score, so he led Lin Jiang over.
The first to see them was Li You Xin, who stopped immediately and elbowed Ji Liao.
Ji Liao turned his head and met Lin Jiangs interested expression. The skills of you three arent bad. Should we have a PK match? He itched to y again as it had been a long time since he joined a game.
Ji Liao said with a smile, Okay, but there are only two of you. With that, he looked at He Cheng Ming with anticipation he had never seen He Cheng Ming y basketball.
Just then, Gu Ming Ren came over expressionlessly. He threw his schoolbag aside and said coolly, Ill join.
When Lin Jiang saw him, he rolled his eyes. But the other boy had been quite calm recently. To be exact, he hadnt bothered him since New Year. So today, for He Cheng Ming, Lin Jiang didnt try to embarrass Gu Ming Ren.
Next to them, Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen were shocked, never to expect a day that they would be ying with these 2 + 1 big-shots! In order not to let Ji Liao down, they mustered up twelve thousand points of energy to persevere.
But it seemed like it wasnt any business of theirs.
He Cheng Ming was tall and quick-witted, making it easy for him to get the ball. But why did he pass the ball to Ji Liao?! Werent they the opponents?!
Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen were confused and didnt understand this reverse operation.
Ji Liao caught the ball and automatically took a shot with it, thenughed at his boyfriend for not knowing how to y and not even able to recognise his teammates. With smiling eyes, he thought that He Cheng Mings mistake was cute.
Beside them, Lin Jiang was very angry. How could they let their opponent score when their team was so awesome?! What the fuck!
Later, he realised that it was his own awesome team that betrayed him! But this traitor was his Ming Ge. What could he say? Nothing, he couldnt say anything.
After being beaten by their opponent for several rounds, Lin Jiang became desperate. Giving several looks to He Cheng Ming who was brainlessly favouring his wife, he hoped that this teammate of his could understand that they were now in PK!
PK, understand?!
They had to win!
Of course, He Cheng Ming ignored him. In his eyes, as long as Ji Liao was happy, that was winning.
Lin Jiang was weeping. His bitter appearance emotionally affected Gu Ming Ren. So, taking off his sses, he followed He Cheng Mings example.
The two of them grabbed for the ball crazily. One was pursuing the ball for Ji Liao, while the other one was pursuing for Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang was excited and shot baskets blissfully. He had forgotten his grudges and resentments, even calling out, Gu Ming Ren, hurry up! Grab him!
Young Master Gu received the order and tried even harder to intercept the ball. The two big-shots yed energetically, neither giving in.
Nearby, Li You Xin and Cheng Li Wen shared the same thoughts: Who were they? Why were they standing here? Werent they ying basketball? Why couldnt they even touch the ball?
When He Cheng Ming and Gu Ming Ren both realised that they had crossed the line, the scene became extremely awkward. Especially Lin Jiang, who was remorseful enough to hit himself in the mouth. Why was he yelling about nothing?!
Ji Liao didnt care. With sweetness still in his heart, he walked over to break the awkwardness. Its almostte. Why dont we stop here?
When Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen heard him, they nodded wildly, wanting to escape as fast as they could.
At this, Gu Ming Ren stopped, set the basketball aside, then put his sses on slowly, bing the cold student president again.
Lin Jiang was used to running errands; he went to a nearby store to buy a few bottles of water. He gave two bottles to He Cheng Ming, thought for a moment, then walked towards Gu Ming Ren.
Want one? He said in an unfriendly tone.
Gu Ming Rens lips curved and reached for the water bottle, his fingertips touching the other boys warm hand. Lin Jiang frowned fiercely and scolded him internally. He was really shameless, even wanting to take advantage of this!
With a wooden expression, he turned and left.
He Cheng Ming gave the water bottle to Ji Liao, but Ji Liao told him not to drink it instead. He ran to get his own thermos cup.
It was winter. Although they were sweating, He Cheng Ming caught colds easily and it was better not to drink cold water, he thought as he handed the thermos cup to him. Drink this. Its hot.
There wasnt much water in the thermos cup. After giving it to He Cheng Ming, Ji Liao himself could only drink the cold water.
You really know how to show your affection. The tall youths heart softened and he hugged the boy in his arms, wishing he could squeeze him into his own body.
They were in public and Ji Liao was a little embarrassed. He was about to push him away when suddenly a few cheers and whistles broke out nearby. Ji Liao looked up to discover that the boys ying at the other basketball courts had seen and stopped to pay attention to them.
He Cheng Ming nced over and those people shut their mouths instantly.
Ji Liao shyly led him to the seat at the front of the sports field. A sudden memory resurfaced as he recalled their first kiss here.
At that time, he had been sitting on the same seat, and when he looked up, he met He Cheng Mings face and their lips touched. His heart had been beating fast but he didnt feel disgusted.
He walked over and sat in the same position again.
Tall and slender beside him, He Cheng Ming swallowed, sat down and lifted his head to drink the water, showing off his extremely sexy neck.
At the sight, Ji Liaos mouth dried. He was dazed by the beauty and moved closer to kiss him.
He Cheng Ming almost choked, barely managing to swallow the water in his throat. He turned and pressed Ji Liao down as he looked at him deeply and said in a hoarse voice, Baby, do you know what youre doing?
Ji Liao was now afraid after he felt the other boys bulging reaction. He immediately corrected his attitude and raised both hands in surrender.
Toote. He Cheng Ming held his waist and lifted him up.
Ji Liao was really frightened and said urgently, Were in the sports field!
Although there were not many people left after school, if anyone saw, they were dead for sure!
Good boy. Dont be afraid. He Cheng Ming kissed him to appease him, then brought him to the nearest toilet and closed the door with a bang.
Ji Liao was propped against the back of the door, face-to-face.
He swallowed with difficulty and saw the extreme resistance on the other boys face. His heart beat as if it wanted to burst out of its chamber. He looked nervously at the person in front of him and stammered, Do, do you want me to help, help you?
He Cheng Ming froze his throat felt like it was on fire. He covered Ji Liaos mouth, then pulled his hand downwards.
The boys trembling appearance was too tantalising, and it was killing him!
When they came out of the toilet, Ji Liaos eyes were red and his hand was sore. Charm was misleading and he would never dare to do it again!
Since someone had resolved his physiological needs, he was in a good mood and happily cried out baby.
They didnt expect to bump into Gu Ming Ren and Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang was walking in front, shouting for Ming Ge. Then he saw the suspicious blush on Ji Liaos face, and he understood immediately. He looked in the direction where the two of them came out from. Holy shit, the toilet?
That was quite exciting!
Behind him, Gu Ming Rens heart was pierced. He looked at others who hugged each other. Looking at himself, he hadnt even touched a hand.
Not going back? He Cheng Ming asked in a deliberate mischievous tone.
Lin Jiang gave out two bouts ofughter. Leaving now. As long as this pervert behind him didnt follow him!
Half an hour ago, he left the basketball court and went back to ss to get his schoolbag. Then he got entangled with Gu Ming Ren, who said he wanted to return the favour for the bottle of water. In actuality, would he not know the true reason? Since he didnt agree, Gu Ming Ren followed him. Damn it, he followed him all the way!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Fuck! He shouldnt have bought that extra bottle of water!!
Seeing Lin Jiangs expression and attitude, He Cheng Ming felt some sympathy for Gu Ming Ren. Lin Jiang was too straight and extremely stubborn. Apart from listening to He Cheng Ming asionally, others could hardly move Lin Jiang.
But he couldnt force him to be nice to Gu Ming Ren.
Gu Ming Ren was his brother. Lin Jiang was also his brother. He couldnt say who was closer to whom, and only they could work it out themselves.
He left with his arm around Ji Liao.
Once he saw them disappear, Lin Jiang immediately turned to the person behind him and said with hatred, Can you not fucking follow me?
Gu Ming Rens eyes narrowed. He felt an actual chill in his own heart. He said indifferently, Give me a reason.
Does this need a reason?! Youve been fucking following me for half an hour. Did I ask you why?! Lin Jiang was irritable.
Thats me pursuing you. Gu Ming Ren answered him, expressionless.
Lin Jiang choked. Gu Ming Rens gaze burned into his, making him extremely ufortable. He turned his face away and retorted in a loud voice, Pursue my foot! Im straighter than a steel bar. Its impossible! I advise you to give up as soon as possible.
If you dont try, how would you know? Gu Ming Ren moved forwards and pinched his chin, forcing the boy to look at him. His fierce eyes seemed as if he wanted to see through him.
Lin Jiang frowned and punched the person in front of him. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him didnt avoid it as his knuckles hit his lips. Miserable, Gu Ming Ren stepped back and leaned against the wall. He wiped the blood on his lips and smiled.
The smile was taunting andden with pain.
Lin Jiang was stunned for a moment; he gritted his teeth and strode away without reluctance.
Gu Ming Ren watched his retreating back, feeling cold and numb. He didnt withdraw his gaze until the figure disappeared.
The young, passionate fire within him diminished at that moment.
Chapter 53 - All of You Better Be More Polite to My Wife
Chapter 53 - All of You Better Be More Polite to My Wife
The news of He Cheng Ming and Ji Liaos rtionship was shocking for a while, but with time, the news gradually dissipated.
After all, campus dating wasnt celebrity news and their rtionship wasnt known to everyone. In addition to Zhao Mei Lans suppression, He Yue Jin hadnt gotten any news.
Therefore, He Cheng Ming was quitecent. He flirted with Ji Liao and indulged in his affections without thinking about his home and duties.
Most of the students came to understand after the initial surprise. Wasnt it just homosexuality? What era was it already to still have discrimination? It might have even been He Cheng Mings improved temper since he started dating that also made it eptable as everyone could now openly joke with him.
Just like that day, when Ji Liao had passed by ss two, he heard a boy inside shouting loudly, Ming Ge! Your wife is here!
Then the students of ss two gathered around the window, each one of them like ancient brothel women, winking and waving at him. Ji Liao,e in!
Ji Liao: ... He left quickly.
He Cheng Ming had been having a good nap until these sons of bitches woke him up. In his narrowed eyes, he saw Ji Liao escape with a pale face. At once, he was anxious he raised his eyebrows and warned, All of you better be more polite to my wife!
A group of boysughed wildly and replied, Very polite!
He Cheng Mings lips crooked and he raised his hands to stretch, getting up to go to the corridor for fresh air.
Slightly leaning on the railing, he saw ss twelve sanitising public areas downstairs. The girls were sweeping and the boys were pouring water.
Ji Liao was not conspicuous in a group of people but He Cheng Ming saw him in a nce. The boy wore the white sweater that he had given him. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing pale arms as he carried a bucket half-filled with water while walking towards Xu Xiao Jing.
He was in the same group with Xu Xiao Jing, and as arranged, he used the water to rinse, then refilled it again.
Because he was working quietly, he didnt realise his ssmates murmurs until Xu Xiao Jing excitedly brought his attention to it. He Cheng Ming is upstairs looking at you!
He looked up and met the other boys smiling eyes that were like a brilliant starry river.
He Cheng Ming straightened and blew him a dashing kiss. Ji Liaos pupils widened and swiftly turned his face away; his actions made the girls nearby shy, and each one of them screamed.
Lin Jiang came out of the toilet and saw He Cheng Mings steady gaze. He thought there were beautiful girls at the opposite end of He Cheng Mings sight, so he rushed over only to see that it was Ji Liao and his face fell.
He Cheng Ming didnt allow anyone to dislike his little cutie he pped the back of Lin Jiangs head, telling him to get lost and stop being an eyesore.
Lin Jiang cried and shouted out, Hoes before bros, then quickly escaped.
When ss twelve finished the sanitation, Ji Liao went back to ss with the group. At the ssroom door, he saw Meng Yao Yao. It turned out that her birthday wasing soon, and she invited him and Xu Ai Wen to her familys home for a meal on Saturday.
Ji Liao agreed but became worried about what to give as a present, so he pulled He Cheng Ming along to shop that evening.
He Cheng Ming stretched his long legs and stood in front of him. Youre celebrating someone elses birthday, and you want me to help you choose a gift? He looked at him incredulously.
Ji Liao put both of his hands in his pockets and looked up slightly. Whats the matter? Cant I?
Ha, that tone.
He Cheng Ming smiled sweetly, recalling the times when the boy was still a little coward and didnt dare to speak to him like this. Now that he had been spoiled, he became a little wild cat with a temper.
Okay. Whatever you say goes. He put his arms around Ji Liaos waist and gave him a gentle squeeze.
Ji Liao ignored him and returned to the main topic. What do you think girls like?
He Cheng Ming frowned and thought for a long time. Around them, the type of women that appeared the most was Zhao Mei Lans type. What did Zhao Mei Lan like? Money, shopping and, oh yes, perfume.
Perfume? Ji Liao thought it was feasible. Girls smelled quite nice so they probably used this often.
They went to the nearby shopping mall.
At a nce, the salesperson could tell that He Cheng Ming was rich as he was d in low-key branded goods from head-to-toe. Looking again, she saw his arm around the waist of another youth and immediately understood. She came forward and said with a smile, What can I do for the two of you?
Ji Liao said, I want to look at perfumes. He turned his gaze to He Cheng Ming for help as he wasnt very sure.
The suggestiveness of his look made the salesperson believe that it was a hint. Maybe he wanted a perfume to use with the person next to him but was too shy to say it. So she rified with enthusiasm, Aphrodisiac, right? We have that. Please wait for a moment.
Aphro...aphrodisiac???
Ji Liao froze and his face reddened in an instant.
The salesperson soon brought back two types and introduced, This charming scent is very moderate and the base note contains musk. Its advertised as alluring and very suitable for couples to use!
Wait, wait a minute. Ji Liao tried to interrupt her.
The other one is a renowned brand, a typical oriental fragrance.
Ji Liao could no longer listen and immediately chimed in. Actually, its not for us! The perfume is a gift, for a seventeen-year-old girl.
The salesperson stopped at once and apologised. She chose some fragrances suitable for girls and sprayed it on her wrist twice while praising it so extravagantly that Ji Liao was swayed into buying it.
While he was paying, He Cheng Ming picked up the charming fragrance from earlier and sprayed it on a piece of testing paper, then waved it gently towards his nose. He smelled an alluring scent and noted the brand in his mind.
Ji Liao finished paying and quickly pulled him away.
He Cheng Ming chuckled softly and teased him. When its your birthday, Ill buy it for you. Aphrodisiac.
Ji Liao was instantly red. He puffed out his cheeks and deliberately asked in response, Why? Arent you able to do it? Do you still need an aphrodisiac?!
This time he hadpletely provoked He Cheng Ming, who dragged him aside and pushed his lower body between Ji Liaos legs, making his thighs shiver. Amazing how this person could be hard onmand!
Dont, I was wrong. His voice was soft and quick to beg for forgiveness.
He Cheng Ming bumped against his pants, and finding that this bump was more powerful than before, he instantly regretted it. How was he supposed to fucking go back like this?
Ji Liao also felt the thing that was rubbing against him seemed to be a little bigger, and he shuddered.
The two of them separated for a long time, but once He Cheng Ming waspletely calm, they went home together.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Meng Yao Yaos birthday.
Xu Ai Wen and Meng Yuan had requested for leave to cook for Meng Yao Yaos birthday celebration.
Xu Xiao Jing was also there together with two other close friends. Ji Liao, as half a host, was helping in the kitchen when he suddenly heard a voice that sounded like Lin Jiangs.
He leaned out and saw that He Cheng Ming was also here!
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows at him until he saw Xu Ai Wen, then he instantly became serious again, nodding.
Xu Ai Wens expression was stiff but it wasnt good to re up as Meng Yao Yao was the one who invited the guests, so she went into the kitchen and didnte out again.
Meng Yuan asked Ji Liao toe out to receive the visitors. Ji Liao wiped his hands and went out.
In the living room, several girls were discussing manicures and hair colour. Lin Jiang and He Cheng Ming didnt interrupt and sat to one side, daydreaming. Ji Liao poured them two sses of water.
He asked softly, Why didnt you tell me you wereing?
He Cheng Ming was sitting upright. At a closer look, he was meticulously dressed and very ttering, not like the usual casualness.
I wanted to surprise you. Although he said this, in actuality, he only received the invitationst night.
Lin Jiang exposed him. Ming Ge is here to see his mother-inw! Then he was kicked.
Ji Liao was a little worried. Tensions between him and Xu Ai Wen had only recently eased a little, but she still hadnt epted him dating yet but she wasnt as attached and conflicted with him like before.
The meal was quickly served. Meng Yuan called out to them toe over for dinner.
It was Meng Yao Yaos birthday so she sat in the main seat with Meng Yuan and Xu Ai Wen on her left, while Xu Xiao Jing and the other girls sat on her right. Ji Liao sat between his mother and his boyfriend, and the atmosphere was awkward.
During dinner, Meng Yuan talked to Lin Jiang. He had seen the girls before but it was the first time he saw the two boys. So naturally, he had to inquire.
Lin Jiangs personality was cheerful and carefree, immediately introducing himself in an outspoken and candid manner. At a nce, it could be seen that he had no social grace.
Meng Yuan smiled and nodded, then his eyes skipped over him andnded on He Cheng Ming. Compared to Lin Jiang, he thought that this one was worth looking into. He was probably the type that his daughter would like.
Hi, Uncle Meng, Im Meng Yao Yaos ssmate. My name is He Cheng Ming. He raised his ss and clinked it against Meng Yuans in an experienced manner. Then he turned to Xu Ai Wen and called out, Auntie.
Even though he was polite and considerate, Xu Ai Wen didnt approve. But knowing what came first, she didnt brush him off and clinked her ss with his.
Dad, He Cheng Ming is a top student. Hes first in Science from our level! Meng Yao Yao immediately praised him.
Really? Then you need to learn from him. Meng Yuan epted his daughters words, analysing them in his head until he guessed about seventy or eighty percent of it.
From the moment the boy, with thest name He, took the initiative to clink his ss with Xu Ai Wens, he started to suspect it. Hearing Meng Yao Yaos praise and watching him speak with his eyes on Xu Ai Wen, with the additional recollection of Ji Liaoing out and running away from home, it was no doubt that his partner was this boy.
Meng Yuan gave an amiableugh. Based on his insight, He Cheng Ming was pleasing to the eye and didnt evade the situation. He was also courageous, otherwise, he wouldnt havee here today or taken the initiative to please Xu Ai Wen.
Ji Liao, I heard from your mother that you made great progress in thest final exam. Is that correct? He asked.
Ji Liao, who was biting on spareribs, didnt expect himself to be questioned. He choked and coughed. He Cheng Ming automatically soothed his back and poured a ss of water for him. His eyes met Xu Ai Wens, who had also poured for her son some water, and silently, he withdrew his hand.
Xu Xiao Jing and Meng Yao Yaos voices banded together so sweet!
Ji Liao drank the water and cleared his throat. Well, there was some progress.
Meng Yao Yao said with a smile, I heard that He Cheng Ming tutored you, right?!
Ji Liao opened his mouth, nced beside him to examine Xu Ai Wens expression, then said, Mmm. Seeing that she didnt have much of a reaction, he felt relieved.
Chapter 54 - Baby, Youre Too Sexy
Chapter 54 - Baby, Youre Too Sexy
They ate until they were seventy percent full, then the cake was served.
Xu Ai Wen bought the cake. It was a milky circle of cream sprinkled with pink roses and decorated with a small crown. Meng Yao Yao loved the design.
When the cake was ced on the table, Xu Xiao Jing took out her phone to take a picture and eximed, Its so beautiful!
Yes, Ill ask Auntie Xu to give you the addresster. Next time you can order from there! Meng Yao Yao said happily.
Xu Xiao Jing nodded.
After taking the picture, they lit the candles and sang the birthday song. The girls didnt participate much and the three boys were too embarrassed, especially He Cheng Ming who had his mouth open without making a single sound. Beside him, Ji Liao was also trying to muddle through the situation and Meng Yao Yao called them out!
He Cheng Ming, Ji Liao, youre not singing! She raised her eyebrows with a stern expression.
It was her day today, so she had to take the opportunity to do something!
In consideration of Xu Ai Wens presence, He Cheng Mings face tightened for having been caught publicly. Even if he wanted to show his temper, he endured it and forced a smile. Ji Liao had always been thin-skinned. Having been called out, he was instantly embarrassed and his entire face flushed. He could only keep drinking water to cover up his helplessness.
Meng Yao Yao snickered, then said loudly, I punish the two of you to sing the birthday song to me by yourselves!
He Cheng Mings expression darkened. He had never sung a birthday song to anyone and now he had to sing it to Meng Yao Yao? Just when he was about to be irritated, he sensed Xu Ai Wens gaze and immediately agreed, Okay.
Beside him, Ji Liao looked at him, bewildered: ???
Lin Jiang chuckled and stealthily took out his phone, preparing to record. Hahaha, he didnt expect Ming Ge to have such a moment!
He Cheng Ming opened his mouth soundlessly for a long time before he managed to sing. His voice was charming and deep. Compared to He Cheng Ming, Ji Liao s singing was difficult to judge. He was tone-deaf and sang like he was reciting it, making everybodyugh.
At the end of the song, his head was so low that it was almost under the table!
I think it sounded good, He Cheng Ming whispered into his ear.
Ji Liao let out a snort, then replied with a question, Then should I sing it to you every day?
He Cheng Ming was silent and didnt say another word.
Ji Liao felt ashamed and kicked him angrily under the table.
With a smile on his lips, He Cheng Ming leaned over and said in a low voice, Dont make a fuss. As long as its sung by you, Ill listen to it.
The words of endearment that came out of his mouth were especially sweet Ji Liao pursed his lips and his sullen mood disappeared.
At that point, Meng Yao Yao had begun to make her wish, her fingers intertwined in front of her chest. She said briskly, My first wish is for Dad and Auntie Xu to get married quickly!
Xu Ai Wen was nearly forty. Hearing her say this, she couldnt help but blush and send her a displeased look.
Meng Yao Yao stuck out her tongue and continued, My second wish is for couples to live happily ever after! Her closed eyes slit open, and she shot a loving gaze at Ji Liao and He Cheng Ming.
Her third wish couldnt be said aloud, so she cried out anxiously in her heart: Dear God, quickly bestow me a boyfriend! Oh oh oh, seeing Dad and Xu Ai Wen in love every day at home, and eating the dog food from her younger brother and male god in school, she was miserable and also wanted to be in love, ah ah ah!
Finally, she added ast, cunning statement: If only one wish could be achieved, thest one should prevail!
After the wish, Meng Yao Yao felt a little guilty. She took a sip of her drink, then got up to cut the cake for everyone.
Ji Liao didnt like sweet food. He only took two bites, leaving arge piece behind. Seeing this, He Cheng Ming took it and helped him finish it!
Xu Ai Wen had been paying attention to him throughout the meal. He didnt eat absentmindedly and ate slowly; it was obvious that his table manners had been cultivated since young. When taking food into his bowl, he calmly avoided the saliva of others, only reaching for a small portion at the edges. It could be seen that he had some degree of obsession with cleanliness, but was very sincere towards Ji Liao and didnt mind eating his leftovers.
After the meal, it was close to eight.
Meng Yao Yao and a few of her invited friends were preparing to go out for a movie. Xu Ai Wen and Meng Yuan had the same idea but the three boys were not interested, so they went their separate ways.
Exiting themunity, Lin Jiang followed He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao. Finally, someone couldnt bear it anymore and opened his mouth to drive him away. Ill give you three minutes to get lost!
Threatened, Lin Jiang could only scowl while getting a taxi, quickly disappearing.
The street became more spacious. He Cheng Ming took Ji Liaos cool hand and stuffed it into his own pocket.
Ji Liao turned to him and asked, What are we going to do next?
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows, his expression was full of indescribable colours as he enticed, Something that feels good?
At a nce, Ji Liao saw through his thoughts and snorted. Thinking of ideas to bully him again!
In the blink of an eye, he pretended toply, Then, should we go to my house?
He Cheng Ming was shocked. Go to your house? Isnt that too exciting? What if Xu Ai Wen came back?
Ji Liao winked at him, his tone carrying a hint of flirtation. My house it is!
That expression and that tone, He Cheng Mings pride in his self-control was trampled to pieces in an instant! If I die, I die. If I should die beneath a peony flower, I would still be charming even as a ghost!
Then lets go. Hurry up. Xu Ai Wen wasnt home yet!
With that, he quickly received a taxi and Ji Liao forced a smile as they got in.
When they arrived at themunity, Ji Liao brought him upstairs and opened the door. He Cheng Ming was about to pounce, but when he was red at, he stopped.
Take a seat first. Ji Liao pressed him down onto the sofa.
He Cheng Mings face was full of desire and dissatisfaction. He was obviously arge dog, but he wanted to show the expression of a small wolfdog, so he looked at him pitifully. Ji Liaos heart softened and he took the initiative to kiss him.
The sweet taste had settled him down a little. Ji Liao went to his room to take the item that feels good out, then called He Cheng Ming over.
Baby, He Cheng Ming came to take a closer look, and his face stiffened. Thats what you wanted me to do when you invited me over to your house?
He looked at the five-year-series college entrance examinations in disbelief. He wanted to hit someone.
Ji Liao put on an ignorant appearance, nodding and saying softly, Well, I realisedst night there were many questions I couldnt answer. Since theres time today, I asked you.
He Cheng Ming wanted to cry. He pulled a stool over to sit beside him and exined patiently, No, baby. Weekends are for ying. Why are you doing homework?!
Inside, he roared like crazy: Hurry up and take it away! Then hed kiss, hug and touch his waist, and secretly rub along it!
Ji Liao propped up his chin, and with a troubled expression, said, But if I dont work hard, I cant go to the same university as you.
The sincerity in his voice caught He Cheng Mings attention he saw the longing in his eyes, the longing to be together with him, not just in this moment but in the future, forever.
Okay. He leaned over, pressed a soft kiss on the other boys clear and beautiful eyes and said, Which question didnt you understand?
Ji Liao always copied out the problems that he didnt know how to solve, creating a book of these difficult problems. When he had time, he would look over the solutions and memorise them.
They sat in the living room, writing for more than an hour until Xu Ai Wen came back. The sound of the door opening pulled them out of their concentration.
Xu Ai Wen walked in and looked down to see two pairs of shoes. She raised her chin and her gaze met Ji Liaos flustered eyes.
Ji Liaos heart thumped wildly as he thought he was done for. He had been too immersed that he forgot to ask He Cheng Ming to leave early.
He quickly stood up and walked over, calling out, Mom, were doing homework.
Xu Ai Wens expression wasnt good she was frowning. She nced at the table and threw her bag on the sofa.
Auntie. He Cheng Ming stood up and called out calmly.
Xu Ai Wen didnt look at him, she just poured herself some water, saying, Itste, Tang Tang. Its time to go to bed. Continue with your homework tomorrow.
The unspoken words were asking him to leave.
He Cheng Ming understood and said politely, Auntie, Ill be leaving first.
With that, he walked outside. Ji Liao ran over to stop him, then looked back to ask Xu Ai Wen, Mom, can I send him out?
Ever since Ji Qing Wen died, Ji Liao hardly asked her if he could do anything, whether big or small. What she didnt say, he would never do it. To put it nicely, it was obedience. In not-so-nice words, it was passiveness.
Ten minutes at most, thene up and go to bed. With that, Xu Ai Wen turned and went into her room.
This was permission!
Overjoyed, Ji Liao pushed He Cheng Ming outside. When they reached the base of the residential block, he burrowed into the other boys arms and looked at him with bright eyes. Did you hear that? My Mom gave us ten minutes!
He Cheng Ming encircled his shoulder, and infected by his excitement, his own happiness appeared without reason. He lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose against Ji Liaos.
Your nickname is Tang Tang? He recalled hearing what Xu Ai Wen had called him.
Ji Liao was a little embarrassed he didnt like the nickname Tang Tang one bit. It was too feminine and sweet.
Dont call me that, he warned.
He Cheng Ming held him tightly in his arms and asked doubtfully, Why? Such a nice name and Im not allowed to use it.
He wanted to die. Not only was Ji Liao sweet, but his mouth and even his nickname were also sweet, hooking him unwaveringly until he didnt want to let go at all.
Youre not allowed to use it anyway! Ji Liao imposed and used his hand to cover the boys mouth.
He Cheng Mings eyes curved and he stuck out his tongue to lick his palm. It was warm and ticklish, and Ji Liao withdrew his hand away immediately!
Hooligan! He scolded softly.
He Cheng Ming smiled and shamelessly leaned closer. To avoid him, Ji Liao moved his head back, and the vicle under his pale neck became conspicuous, like two empty pools. He Cheng Mings eyes reddened and he bit it gently, saying in a daze, Baby, youre too sexy.
Just then, Ji Liaos phone rang.
It was Xu Ai Wen.
Mom? Ji Liao had epted the call.
Ten minutes are up. Xu Ai Wen reminded him in a cold voice.
Ji Liao: ...
Replying right away, he pushed aside the guy who was stuck to him. After a quick reminder to send him a message once he returned to his own home, Ji Liao ran upstairs.
Xu Ai Wen was lingering in the living room. When she saw Ji Liao, she frowned and wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she decided out of sight, out of mind and ushered him to go to his room.
Ji Liao was confused. He didnt realise what was going on with her until he went to take a bath. There was a hickey on his neck.
Chapter 55 - Caller ID: The Best One
Chapter 55 - Caller ID: The Best One
Spring gradually became warmer, and the sun shone brightly.
Zhao Mei Lan exited the beauty salon contented and pinched her pale face. She couldnt help butment her fate. She thought about how she had been a shopping guide in Su Zhou, working herself to death for a year but not being able to make the amount she had just spent in the spa, and she found it ironic and ridiculous.
She went to the mall and shopped without restraint, ordering two sets of formal attire. The annual charity dinner held by the He family was approaching. As the chairmans wife, it was natural that she had to attend while looking impressive.
Zhao Mei Lan was born with a delicate and gentle appearance typical of a Jiang Nan beauty, so she was especially distinguishable. The moment she stepped into the high-end luxury brand store, dedicated sales staff immediately came over to serve her.
The young Mrs Hes habit of spending money was very different and unexpected from her appearance she was very extravagant with money and was well-known in the first-ss brand circle.
When the store manager saw her, he came out to entertain her personally, picking out thetest spring and summer attires with care. Zhao Mei Lan loved the feeling of being the centre of attention, her mood was beautiful and she chose several more outfits to look at, requesting for the sales staff to make it in her size.
Closing the books, the store manager happily ced the order, then looked up to see Mrs Gu stepping in through the door. He thought to himself, What a good day it was today, and ran over to receive her.
Li Yan was chatting happily with her friends and didnt notice Zhao Mei Lan until she greeted her. Mrs Gu, youre also here to look at formal attires?
With the pleasant-sounding dialect, it wasnt necessary to see who it was.
Li Yan turned her head. The smile on her face remained unchanged but it was evident that her heart was toozy to deal with her as she said, Mrs He, what a coincidence. Then asked the store manager to bring the brochure and discussed the designs with her friends.
Zhao Mei Lan almost stomped with anger.
In their circle of rich wives, Li Yan was a recognised beauty. She was in her forties but still looked like she was in her twenties with a well-maintained and lithe figure. The most infuriating thing was that Li Yan was born to an influential family, and looked stylish and charming; she also had an excellent education and temperament. Compared to her, Zhao Mei Lan seemed small-minded and unqualified to take her ce in higher circles.
Moreover, this woman was very arrogant, and no matter how she showed her goodwill, it was not acknowledged favourably. Fortunately, her son was more outstanding than the womans son! In another three to five years, well see how she can still be so harsh and unreasonable! After this thought, Zhao Mei Lan rxed. She was about to leave when she heard Li Yans friend say, We havent seen Ming Ren for very long. Did he get more handsome?
Li Yan said with a smile, That kid has been in a bad mood recently. In two days, hell need to go to Beijing topete. When hees back, you can have a look.
Gu Ming Ren was going to Beijing topete?
It was difficult for Zhao Mei Lan to dispel her resentment. Towards Li Yan, she could only find a sense of superiority in her son, so she called He Cheng Ming right afterwards, asking him to take part in whicheverpetition this was and that he needed to take first ce!
He Cheng Ming didnt refuse. He had to give Zhao Mei Lan appropriate reassurances his obedience to her equalled his freedom.
It was a physicspetition for middle school students. He applied with the school and was approved right away.
Ever since he and Ji Liao made it public, he had basically taken over the boys afternoon.
When they ate together, although Ji Liao didnt have much of a temper, he was actually very picky with food. He didnt eat coriander, spring onions, or anything with a strong taste like mutton that had even a slight odour. He was more difficult to serve than a young master like him.
What to do if the wife was picky with food?
Being picky with food means unbnced nutrition. You cant do that next time! He Cheng Ming lectured him and at the same time implemented the twenty-four standards of a good boyfriend, avoiding these items when he ordered.
JI Liao noddedpliantly like an obedient hamster, as adorable as he could be.
After eating, they would go to the library to study, work on homework and discuss unsolved problems. asionally, Ji Liao would be very sleepy and would take a nap on his arm. Once, he slept so soundly that he drooled on the other boys sleeve.
He Cheng Ming didnt know whether tough or cry, but he couldnt bear to wake him. It wasnt until Ji Liao woke up, felt the area beside his mouth was sticky and wiped it, did he discover that he had drooled. He was very embarrassed and his face reddened till the base of his neck. He didnt dare to take a nap on He Cheng Ming for several days.
He Cheng Mingforted him, Its okay baby. I wouldnt dislike you.
Anyway, he had consumed this saliva before. What was a little bit on his clothes?
Ji Liao softly told him to stop talking, but it stirred up He Cheng Mings animalistic nature, making him bite down on his tongue till it was numb.
Within the next two days, He Cheng Ming went to Beijing topete. That night, he called Ji Liao toin, Baby, I miss you. Do you miss me?
In the midst of homework, Ji Liaos hand stopped and, leaning back in his chair, he said, It has been less than twenty-four hours. You must be exaggerating!
He Cheng Ming grumbled, Youre too much!
Ji Liao thought it couldnt be that bad. So he asked, Whats too much?
Youre so cute, trying to captivate me.
It was the sound of someone who couldnt hide his smile. Ji Liao was shy, but at the same time felt it was sweet. He covered his face, then revealed eyes that were a little shiny, as he whispered, I miss you too.
Suddenly, there was a thud from the other side of the phone.
Ji Liao straightened immediately and asked, What happened?
It turned out it was Gu Ming Ren, who had been assigned to the same room with He Cheng Ming. Coming out from his bath, he had heard someone chatting on the phone and suddenly sprouting a cheesy line of endearment. It was nauseating, so he threw a towel across, hitting the boy on the head.
Since He Cheng Ming was in a good mood, he didnt make a fuss. He took the towel on his head and threw it onto the ground, telling Ji Liao, Its nothing, just jealousy from the single dog.
With a cold expression, Gu Ming Ren turned and went out.
That night was also the He familys charity dinner, which had the wealthiest people from all walks of life attending.
Zhao Mei Lan was holding He Yue Jins hand as they walked slowly on the red carpet under the attention of the public. Used to this kind of scene, He Yue Jin felt bored. He took the opportunity to chat with the person beside him about family matters. How has Xiao Ming been recently?
He was very busy with thepanys business as he dealt with a host of problems every day. So the area of educating his son was mostly handed over to Zhao Mei Lan, while he only looked at the results. So far, the results were good and He Cheng Ming had been outstanding.
There was a sh of guilt in Zhao Mei Lans eyes before she put on a smile and said, Xiao Ming is very obedient. Today, he went to Beijing to participate in a physicspetition. I heard that the Gu familys child also went.
The child of the Gu family was Gu Ming Ren. He Yue Jin knew that both children did well, but in terms of performance, their familys Cheng Ming was obviously better. There were no parents who didnt hope for their own child to be excellent, so He Yue Jins favourable impression towards the young son improved further. He said, Be more meticulous on Xiao Ming. After his college entrance exams, he can familiarise himself with thepanys environment first.
This meant he was preparing to train He Cheng Ming as a sessor. Zhao Mei Lan almost cried at his words and believed that she was finally seeing the prize of her many years of hard work. She quickly replied, I will. Xiao Ming will learn it well.
As the opportunity approached, the ticking timebomb that was Ji Liao was bing more unsightly.
Zhao Mei Lan put her n into action. Taking advantage of her son being at thepetition, she invited the little vixen out.
Ji Liao received the text message and contemted whether or not he should tell He Cheng Ming. But he was afraid that if he were to say something, it would interfere with hispetition. So, he went to the appointment without mentioning anything.
Walking into the restaurant, he saw the familiar woman with sunsses. He walked over and greeted dryly, Hello Auntie. Im Ji Liao.
Although it wasnt the first time he met He Cheng Mings mother, he was still very nervous and at a loss as to what to do.
Zhao Mei Lan didnt even take off her sunsses. Seeing the boy clenching the sides of his pants in embarrassment, her belief that he couldnt amount to anything grew. She raised her chin and asked him to sit on the opposite side.
Ji Liao sat down and the waiter handed them the menu.
He only wanted a ss of in water and was once againbelled as a pauper by Zhao Mei Lan.
Which stage are you and my son at? She didnt beat around the bush and questioned straightforwardly about how far the two of them had gone. If they had gone to bed together, she would give a little more. If they hadnt, he wasnt at a disadvantage and she didnt have to give too much.
Ji Liao lowered his head as he didnt know how to reply.
Zhao Mei Lan thought he was a shrinking violet, no wonder he was gay. She simply asked, Have you done it? It was a pretty voice, but it wasced with impatience and anger.
Ji Liao felt her anger and bit his lip, lowering his head further. This was too embarrassing.
Zhao Mei Lan clicked her tongue and pped the tabletop. She raised her voice and said, Im asking you something. Whats the matter, you little boy? Where are your manners?
Feeling cornered, the tip of his ears burned red. He couldnt walk away or continue to sit in silence, so he shook his head stiffly.
Behind her sunsses, Zhao Mei Lans eyes were full of surprise. It was reasonable to say that adolescent boys have strong desires. Her son had been with him for a while but they never had that type of rtionship?
But it was fine and easier.
She picked up the branded bag beside her, unzipped it and took out a cheque, writing down an amount.
One million. Break up with him. The cheque was pushed in front of Ji Liao.
Ji Liao stood up slowly, understanding the purpose of their appointment. But he couldnt do it. As he was about to walk away, Zhao Mei Lan took off her sunsses and asked him, Do you know why Xiao Ming likes you?
The soles of his feet seemed to fill with lead, making him unable to move. Even though he knew it must not be anything good, he still wanted to know. Ji Liaos heart trembled. Looking at the woman in front of him, his right eyelid twitched.
Zhao Mei Lan was smiling slightly. Sit down, let Auntie tell you.
When he sat down, Zhao Mei Lan slowly took a sip of the coffee on the table. Changing the subject, she said in a taunting voice, If Ji Qing Wen knew that you are together with a man, hell probablye back from the dead in anger, right? Oh, by the way, did Xiao Ming tell you? Your father used to work for the He family.
Because Ji Qing Wen was mentioned, Ji Liaos eyes suddenly became indignant and ice-cold, and his heart sank. Could He Cheng Ming really have something to do with his fathers death?
But the incident with his father was obviously an ident.
But what if it was true?
He didnt know and didnt want to face it. His panic made him afraid and cowardly. So he grabbed the schoolbag beside him and ran.
As he sprinted out of the restaurant with the wind whistling in his ears, his phone vibrated in his pocket and he took it out to see who it was.
Caller ID: The Best One
Chapter 56 - Im Not Breaking Up. Let Me Think.
Chapter 56 - Im Not Breaking Up. Let Me Think.
Fear, restraint, hesitation.
He didnt press the ept button, letting the call continue until the screen turned dark.
At that moment, the taut strings in his mind snapped and Ji Liaos pupils jolted. He realised what he had done and was about to return the call when the other boy called again.
Ji Liao picked up and heard the other side say with a sigh of relief, Baby, why didnt you answer the phone earlier? You scared me to death.
He tried to hide his own emotions, and as usual, he said softly, I forgot.
Huh? In the airport, He Cheng Mings handsome face knitted with suspicion. After a while, he became only filled with thoughts of going back and didnt dwell on it further. He threatened with a smile, How dare you forget to answer a call from your boyfriend. See how Ill deal with you when I get back!
Ji Liao was silent as he vaguely heard the sound of a suitcase rolling on the ground. He asked, Are youing back?
If he remembered correctly, thepetitionsted for three days. He should only be back tomorrow.
Yes, I just left the airport. Where are you? Ill take a taxi there.
In fact, thepetition had ended that afternoon. The organisers had arranged for a day to visit the Forbidden City, hence the three-day duration. He Cheng Ming didnt think it was necessary, so he bought his own ne ticket back. He didnt know why but during todayspetition, he felt flustered, especially feeling like something bad was about to happen. Earlier, when Ji Liao didnt answer the first call, it scared him to death. Fortunately, he got through the second time and confirmed that the boy was safe.
Well? Say something, baby, where are you? The long silence made him urge.
At this, Ji Liao responded and reported an address, then squatted where he had stood, waiting for him.
After a nearly forty-minute journey, He Cheng Ming got out of the car and saw his sweetheart squatting pitifully by the roadside. His head was buried in his arms and he looked like he was crying.
Immediately, his heart clenched as he walked over quickly. He squatted down to hug Ji Liao, and he asked softly, Whats the matter?
Ji Liao lifted his head at the question, his face pale. But he forced a smile and whispered back, Im waiting here for you.
Relieved to see that he wasnt crying, He Cheng Ming pulled him up and gently reprimanded him, Silly, why didnt you find somewhere to sit? Are your feet numb?
He bent down and rubbed Ji Liaos calf.
Ji Liao stopped him, thenunched himself into the broad chest in front of him, both hands hugging He Cheng Mings waist. His feet felt like there were millions of ants crawling on them and he couldnt move.
And you still say you dont miss me? As soon as Im back, you throw yourself into my arms. See what youll do without me next time. He Cheng Ming was ted as his mouth began to run, and took no notice of what he was saying.
But Ji Liao was sensitive and his whole body trembled, his fingers clutching the other boys clothes tightly.
Whats wrong? Noticing Ji Liaos small movements, He Cheng Ming leaned his head back to separate themselves from each other so he could look at him. He realised something was wrong. Ji Liaos eyes were red and filled with tears he was like a rabbit calling for help, but it was in vain.
The pain in his heart exploded, and he hurriedly pushed the boy away, wanting to ask for the cause of his anguish. But Ji Liao bit his lips and refused to let go of him. He Cheng Ming was stunned, then stopped moving and let the boy hold him.
Did something happen? Or did someone bully you? Ji Liao, tell me. Ill take care of it, okay?
Dont look like this again. His heart was about to shatter just seeing him like this!
Ji Liao was afraid but at the same time greedy for He Cheng Mings warm embrace. After a long time, he opened his mouth and found that his voice was shaking as he said, Your mother said that you had something to do with my fathers death.
Silence.
There was a long silence.
When He Cheng Ming moved, it scared Ji Liao into hugging him again.
He leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. Thump. Thump.
He didnt dare to blink as a blurryyer of tears obscured his eyes. He tried his best to hold back the tears, but they fell drop by drop, wetting He Cheng Mings clothes.
Why had it been Ji Qing Wen, his beloved father?
Do you know that I like you a lot already?
So much that even after knowing that you had something to do with Dads death, I still couldnt bear to hang up on you, couldnt bear to refuse meeting you.
Even to the extent of wanting to betray Dad by forgiving you.
Ji Liao, I told you before that I have already liked you three years ago. His voice sounded old and hoarse.
He Cheng Ming leaned down and kissed his tears. It wasnt clear whose fault it was, but it had begun with him.
The first time I saw you, I reacted to you. At that time, I was fourteen I didnt understand if these feelings were right or wrong, so I didnt tell anyone and wrote it in my diary. My mother found the diary, discovered my secret and resented your father. She told him during a rainy night to rush the work, then the ident happened.
His ignorant love was the first mistake; the butterfly effect resulted in Ji Qing Wen dying tragically.
When he learned about Ji Qing Wens ident, he tore up his diary. He hated that diary and hated himself for writing it down. He could almost foresee what kind of pain the boy would suffer from. Because of his love, that person had lost his father.
For a long time, he had problems with sleeping. When he closed his eyes, Ji Liaos cries haunted his head. Zhao Mei Lan had found a psychiatrist to help him, prescribing medication for him to take. Although he could not refuse, he had wishfully thought the medication might take the pain away.
Whenever he awoke from his midnight dreams, he huddled up in remorse for his mistake, even until now. He had merely liked someone.
Im sorry. Will you forgive me?
It was a three-yearte apology that had been a thorn in his heart, but he finally said it.
Ji Liaos mind was a mess, and he was unable to respond. So this was what happened, but whose fault was it?
Feeling that his eyshes were glued with tears, he wiped it with his hand and sniffed. He looked confused and innocent, like the first time He Cheng Ming saw him.
He didnt speak for a long time, and his silence froze He Cheng Mings heart. He held the boys face in his hands, lowered his head and kissed him, then said in a hoarse voice, I understand.
Frightened, Ji Liao hugged his waist. He endured a stab of pain in his heart as he said anxiously, Im not breaking up. Let me think. Dont go.
Ji Qing Wen was no longer around. If He Cheng Ming also left, he would be a different person again.
He didnt want it to be this way.
This result exceeded He Cheng Mings expectations. He turned back in surprise and joy, then held Ji Liao protectively as he said, overwhelmed with happiness, Okay, Im not leaving or breaking up.
Ji Liao was relieved as he sat on the suitcase to recover from the onught of his emotions. He Cheng Ming squatted in front of him and used his sleeves to wipe his face.
When He Cheng Mings mood had stabilised, he then remembered the item he had brought back from Beijing.
I brought you a present. Do you still want it? His tone was careful and gentle.
Whatever it was, everything now had to be based on Ji Liaos opinions. If he wasnt careful, he might be investigated and sacked.
Ji Liao looked at him and said with a nasal tone, Yes.
He Cheng Ming smiled and pointed at the suitcase under Ji Liao. Its inside.
Ji Liao got up and watched him take out a bright yellow box from the suitcase. It was a custom-made gift box for couples released by the Pce Museum.
Inside was a wedding edict, two eternal fans and a pair of jade ornaments meant for exchanging vows. Ji Liao didnt take a close look as he put them away.
He Cheng Ming asked him, Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat?
Ji Liao nodded an agreement. So, while pulling his suitcase, He Cheng Ming led him to find a warm restaurant to sit down in.
Immediately, a server came over to bring the menu. After sizing up the handsome pair and concluding that they seemed to be a couple, the server walked away with a lowered head.
As they waited for their food, he noticed Ji Liao was still unhappy. He sat closer, held his shoulders and kissed his face as he coaxed, Im sorry that I hurt you. It wont happen again, okay?
Ji Liao ttened his lips and ignored him.
Dont stay quiet, baby, please? Open your mouth, ahh. With that, he opened his mouth wide and looked at him.
When Ji Liao witnessed his silly disy, heughed angrily in response.
He Cheng Ming released a breath when he saw this, and then began tough as well. He might have looked silly but what he said afterwards was genuine, Ill always be good to you, Ji Liao. Trust me.
As long as Ji Liao could forgive him, he would spend his whole life loving him and not let him suffer any more harm.
Ji Liao lowered his head in aplicated mood and hummed.
Once the food was served, the other boy graciously helped to pile his rice bowl high with food, all of which were his favourites. When Ji Liao nced at him sideways, he immediately stopped and grinned, revealing a row of bright white teeth.
You should eat as well, Ji Liao said.
He Cheng Ming, who was on the verge of being attacked, looked at him pitifully as he probed, No, I want you to help me with it.
Ji Liao lifted his hand and picked up a piece of garlic for him.
He Cheng Mings face changed, and he said hesitantly, Isnt that a little strong? It wasnt good for their goodbye kisster.
Ji Liao sighed. If you dont want to eat it, then get your own food.
He Cheng Ming was aggrieved. In order to make his wife happy, he had to endure. As soon as he put that thing inside his mouth, Ji Liao looked disgusted and asked him to spit it out.
How could you have eaten it?! He couldnt help but scold him.
He Cheng Ming spat it out and took some water to rinse his mouth. He replied, Im very obedient. Then continued to tter as he tried to win some favour, Next time, whatever you say, Ill do it. Okay?
Ji Liao didnt know what to do with him, only thinking that his mouth was really good at cajoling!
Eat properly, he said.
Order received! He Cheng Ming smiled.
After their meal, he sent Ji Liao home. When they reached hismunity, he was unwilling to leave as he was eager to make a big ssh. After all, he had gone to Beijing for two days, only to return to face an unexpected situation. There had been no chances to be intimate with the boy.
Now, He Cheng Ming stared at the person in front of him, pleading in a low voice, Baby, can we kiss first before leaving?
Ji Liao refused coldly, No way.
Who told him to eat garlic?!
He Cheng Ming was silent as he thought that Ji Liao hadnt really forgiven him, so he reluctantly let him go.
But Ji Liao didnt leave. Embarrassed, he lifted his shirt and, with a straight face, said, Maybe you can make do by touching my waist.
Chapter 57 - Looked As if He were Scrutinizing an Animal
Chapter 57 - Looked As if He were Scrutinizing an Animal
He Cheng Mings eyes brightened as he walked two steps closer. His warm palms touched that expanse of tender, fair skin. Lowering his head, he blew into his ear. Baby, want to touch the hard tube to put out the fire?
The slight rise of his tone made his voice sound sexy.
Ji Liao turned his face away. He thought to himself, Its good enough that I let you touch me, and yet you request for more. He bit his lip and didnt say anything.
He Cheng Ming chuckled and held Ji Liaos sharp jaw. Like a big dog trying to tter his owner, he pressed kisses along the graceful neck, then sucked fiercely on his mouth before letting him go.
Ji Liao frowned, disliking his final action.
Before turning to go upstairs, he thought for a while and decided to make it clear. Regarding that matter, dont tell my Mom.
Compared to him, Xu Ai Wen was more innocent. The once harmonious family had copsed as her only son had been taken away. Fortunately, he now found a new lease of life or he would probablye to hate He Cheng Ming.
Okay. The youth controlled his roiling emotions and answered seriously.
Having nothing else to say, Ji Liao went upstairs with the gift box in his arms. His steps were heavy as guilt and sin permeated inside his body.
He didnt know if what he was doing was right or wrong. At that moment, he just didnt want to break up with the boy. But if they stayed together, he felt that he was letting Ji Qing Wen down.
When he reached home, he took a bath theny on the bed, staring at the ceiling lost in thought.
He Cheng Ming left themunity and rode a taxi to his family home, his face dark.
Zhao Mei Lan was in the living room happily watching a melodrama television show. When she heard the servants call out Second Young Master, she turned, and after seeing her son, she asked immediately with concern, Xiao Ming, youre back from Beijing?
She approached him cheerfully, wanting to ask him how thepetition went but stopped when she saw veins bulging on the boys forehead. Her heart thudded at his appearance of restrained anger.
Did that male vixen rat her out already?
Although Zhao Mei Lan was uncertain, she still acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled and held her sons hand, asking, Have you eaten? Mom will ask Auntie to prepare it for you...
Before she could finish, He Cheng Ming shook her off and she stumbled, falling against the back of the sofa.
In a rage, he closed in on her and dered in a cold, decisive manner, I no longer have you as a mother.
Zhao Mei Lans almond eyes widened as she cried out in disbelief, What do you mean?! Did you be crazy because of that male vixen?!
She expected him to be angry but never expected him to cut off his rtionship with her.
With quick strides, she grabbed his hand and urged as tears fell, Xiao Ming, your father said that you should go to thepany to familiarise yourself with the environment after the college entrance exams. Do you know what that means? He values you so much that he might consider you in power in the future. When you inherit the He fortune, who cant you have? Why dont you understand?!
It was said with painstaking care but He Cheng Ming only became more bitterly disappointed. It was probably true that she didnt see him as her son. So far, she only thought about thepany or rights.
That has never been what I wanted, Ms. Zhao.
His tone was indifferent, as if the little blood rtion he had with the person in front of him had disappeared.
Zhao Mei Lan was shocked to realise that the boy had grown away from her control.
She panicked as she watched him go upstairs to pack his things. With her makeup ruined from her tears, she went to block the door.
After he packed up simply, He Cheng Ming carried his suitcase, wanting to leave. Zhao Mei Lan stopped him, and left with no choice, she put on the imposing manner of the family matriarch and demanded, What are you doing with your things?! Not intending toe back, are you?!
Gaze cold and steady, He Cheng Ming parted his thin lips, Yes.
Absolutely furious, Zhao Mei Lan threatened to his retreating back, You really think that your wings have hardened?! You should take a good look at whose name your apartment is under. One phone call and youll be kicked out immediately!
How dare he just leave? Wasnt it just because he had somewhere to go?
When he was in high school, she had kept a watchful eye after he proposed to move out. Unable to stop him, she arranged for him to stay in a ce under her name and strictly controlled his pocket money. She was afraid that he would one day grow up to disobey her and rebel against her.
Sure enough, the day hade.
He Cheng Ming paused, then said with a smile, Really? You can?
Sometimes he really didnt understand, with Zhao Mei Lans IQ, how did she seed? How was she able to make the tycoon He Yue Jin fuss around her?
Zhao Mei Lans pride did not allow her to be provoked by her son she was so angry that she immediately called the property. But they told her the apartment had been transferred to her son three months ago.
How could that be? She was shocked. How could it have been transferred without going through her?
As she watched him retreat further away from her, she started crying again. She pulled his clothes and persuaded in a soft voice, Xiao Ming, its Moms fault. Will you stop making trouble?
Once he left, she was finished.
When He Mu Sheng came back from work, he ran into two people struggling with each other in the living room. The rare scene made him raise his eyebrows slightly. Then he saw He Cheng Ming holding a suitcase and asked, Moving away?
Three months ago, the boy took Zhao Mei Lans identity card and property deed, then sought his help with a transfer of ownership. He had guessed that there would be such a day, but he hadnt expected it toe so fast, thinking that he would wait until after the college entrance exams.
Mu Sheng, will you help me persuade Xiao Ming? Hell listen to you. Zhao Mei Lan pleaded with him, desperate to try anything she could, even though her rtionship with the eldest son of the He family wasnt good.
He Mu Sheng frowned, not intending to interfere in the matter between mother and son. All he did was remind kindly, Dad will be back soon.
The subtext implied that it would be better to deal with things now, or nothing could be saved once He Yue Jin was back.
Zhao Mei Lan froze and, using this opportunity to break away from her fingers, He Cheng Ming strode away.
The next day, He Mu Sheng called to inform him that although Zhao Mei Lan didnt have a high IQ, she was very good at coaxing He Yue Jin as she managed to cover their dispute wlessly. So He Cheng Ming had some time to be free.
He Cheng Ming thanked him, then got dressed to pick up Ji Liao.
From his appearance, Ji Liao didnt seem to have gotten a good sleepst night; there was some darkness under his eyes and he kept yawning.
There must be some ill feelings that hadnt subsided yet, which was understandable. After all, it was hard to ept such a heavy revtion for anyone, and he was already very thankful that it hadnt resulted in a breakup.
So he didnt question him as the two of them boarded the bus. There was only one seat avable which He Cheng Ming offered to Ji Liao while he stood beside him.
The bus was very unsteady, the tires bumped over stones, rocking the vehicle and its passengers. Ji Liao was unable to rest well as his head leaned against the window, trying to befortable, but it was too noisy to rx.
Lean against me, He Cheng Ming said in a low voice.
Without a word, Ji Liao moved towards the boys leg, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.
He had thought about it all night, and in the end, he was still reluctant to break up with him.
He believed that there would be no one else who would treat him better than He Cheng Ming since he was revered almost like an ancestor. Although he often bullied him into doing some shameless things, he felt his sincerity and love.
So be it, Ji Liao thought. He Cheng Ming would love him in ce of Ji Qing Wen.
Within two days, He Cheng Mings first-ce banner for the physicspetition was hung in the school.
He was the first in the country and received nearly full marks. Various colleges and universities had called the academic affairs office, offering him guaranteed admission.
The news quickly spread to ss twelve and it stunned Ji Liao. He was under great pressure, afraid that he would hold He Cheng Ming back.
After lunch, he studied hard again, burying his head in books and didnt give the person beside him a chance to talk.
He Cheng Mings heart ached for him. It had already been like this for a few days. Finally, he threw aside the boys books and brought him to Gu Ming Rens student union office after remembering that there was a rest area there.
Gu Ming Ren was speechless. If he hadnt known his character, he would have suspected that He Cheng Ming came here deliberately to show off. His grades had one-upped him, and even in the rtionship area...
Ha, what rtionship was he referring to?
He mocked himself as he left.
Since it was the first time that Ji Liao hade to the student union office, he didnt expect it to look like this. Its condition was quite good, with a desk, water dispenser, small sofa, bathroom and everything.
Come here.
He Cheng Ming beckoned him over, then asked him to lie down on the sofa, using his thighs as a pillow.
Ji Liaos mind was tied up and couldnt sleep, so he asked, What university will you be going to?
He Cheng Ming asked him to close his eyes. Once he confirmed they were closed, he replied, Ill go to whichever youll be going to.
Although it simplified matters in not partaking in the college entrance exams, it wasnt that troublesome. For him, it would just be an extra three days of exams.
Ji Liao was silent as he felt a big hand on his stomach. He reached out and held it, then sped it and pressed it against his chest.
After a short while, he fell asleep.
He Cheng Mings eyes drooped, and he relished the sight of the person lying on hisp. The boys eyes were closed, his eyshes long and slightly curved, like two small ck fans; his nose was straight and graceful, and his lips pursed tightly, probably afraid of drooling again.
Thinking of this, he smiled and lowered his head to kiss his little cutie.
Gu Ming Ren, who came back to get something, witnessed the scene. He cursed in a low voice as, once again, he was shoved with a mouthful of dog food.
Dissatisfied with his return, He Cheng Mings eyes warned him to keep the noise down and leave quickly.
The door closed again. Ji Liao seemed to have heard the movement as he frowned and turned towards his crotch.
He Cheng Ming: ...
Swallowing, he didnt dare move, but that ything arrogantly raised its head.
Later, Ji Liao realised that something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the other boys tent was very high. Scared, he retreated, nearly falling off the sofa.
The person beside him caught him with agile hands.
Ji Liaos ears burned and he stood up immediately.
His innocent and frightened look made He Cheng Ming itch unbearably. With a frozen expression, he got up and locked the door. Then his face changed and, leaning against the boys body, he asked longingly, Baby, help me out, okay?
He buried his face in Ji Liaos neck and gently rubbed against him.
Some emotion stirred within Ji Liao and, with a sigh, he opened his mouth to reply. Before he could say okay, he was lifted up and pressed onto the sofa for a kiss. Then he was carried into the bathroom. When they came out, his face was so red that it could shed blood.
Gu Ming Ren had returned again to get something and, upon realising that the door was locked this time, his face darkened.
He raised his hand and knocked.
Feeling guilty, Ji Liao jumped and his eyes flickered to the door.
Its okay. He Cheng Ming kissed him before opening the door.
When Gu Ming Ren came in, he went to inspect the sofa first. After ensuring that there was no trace of anything that shouldnt be there, he went to the desk to get the textbook. Suddenly, his movements froze as he thought of Ji Liaos slightly parted legs.
His face stiffened and he lifted his eyes towards He Cheng Ming. Then his expression changed he looked as if he were scrutinizing an animal.
Chapter 58 - Still Head over Heels in Love
Chapter 58 - Still Head over Heels in Love
Having just finished experiencing pleasure, school bully He was entirely at ease. His tone carried involuntary pride, and with curved lips, he patted the boys shoulder. Dont be envious. Theres still time.
Gu Ming Ren lifted a corner of his mouth. Get lost.
He Cheng Mingughed as he put his arms around his wife, taking him away.
Ji Liaos face contorted with pain due to being grounded against strongly in the bathroom earlier. There seemed to be some broken skin on his thigh, which rubbed against his jeans and hurt when he walked too fast.
Whats wrong? He Cheng Ming lowered his head and asked in concern.
Embarrassed to tell him the reason, Ji Liao said in a tiny voice, Youre walking too fast. Slow down. He regretted not having worn sweatpants orfortable pants today!
Looking at his taut legs and his enduring expression, He Cheng Ming came to a realisation. He asked anxiously, Did I break some of your skin?
It was all his fault for not handling the weight properly. That already delicate skin was now damaged by him. Although it was extremely pleasurable, he had made the other boy suffer.
Does it hurt a lot? He Cheng Ming frowned and, with self-me and hatred, he looked at his crotch. This was the main culprit!
Ji Liao didnt think too much of it. It had been voluntary and he hadnt been forced either, so he exined, Its okay. It doesnt hurt much.
As long as you dont walk so fast.
He Cheng Ming didnt believe him. He believed Ji Liao was lying to make him feel at ease. This understanding little cutie intangibly stirred him up, making his heart ache so much that he picked him up by the waist.
Shocked by his actions, Ji Liao grabbed the boys arms and demanded with fear, What are you doing? Let me down!
They were in school. Moreover, it was the teaching block where someone could see them at any time!
Good boy, dont move.
He Cheng Ming didnt care at all. He strode towards the sickbay with an Is-it-wrong-for-me-to-carry-my-wife-? look.
Halfway down the stairs, they met ss twelves math teacher. Without stopping, he gave a slight nod to the stunned teacher. Ji Liao believed he could no longer face anyone as he buried his face deep into the boys chest. Out of sight, out of mind.
The math teacher watched them disappear around the corner, tutted then said with a sigh, Its nice to be young.
Once He Cheng Ming reached the sickbay, he deposited Ji Liao on the clean bed. He closed the curtains with a flourish before he went to remove Ji Liaos pants. After taking it off, the sight of the raw skin made him feel regretful.
The school doctor was an experienced and knowledgeable woman. When she came back with her hands stuffed in her white coat, her eyes were first lured to the tightly drawn curtain around the bed, then to the exposed pair of legs belonging to a male student underneath it.
She walked over and pulled it open. Her gazended on Ji Liaos thigh, and she eximed, Who did this? Such violence!
Since she was a woman, Ji Liao scrambled for his pants to hide his important parts. He Cheng Mings face darkened even more he was extremely unhappy that this woman had burst in without permission, and even got to see his little cuties bare legs!
Dont cover it up, kid. The school doctor pulled open the cab next to him and threw a bottle of Yunnan Bai Yao to Ji Liao. She then took a pair of scissors and bandages, putting them on the bed as she said indifferently, Let your boyfriend apply the medicine for you.
With that, she sighed. These kids nowadays, so rash.
He Cheng Ming kept a straight face. When the school doctor left, he helped Ji Liao to smear the medicine on the wound, then wrapped the bandage around it. His eyes were serious and attentive throughout the entire process.
Ji Liao thought he was making a big deal out of it since he wasnt so finicky. However, it was better with the bandage so it wouldnt rub against the pants.
Back in ss, Xu Xiao Jing asked him immediately, Are you okay?
Ji Liao replied in confusion, What do you mean?
Xu Xiao Jing looked him up and down. Seeing that he wasnt injured, she asked, puzzled, Someone saw He Cheng Ming carrying you to the sickbay. What happened? You look fine.
Ji Liao touched his nose awkwardly and could only lie. Yeah, I had a bit of a stomach ache.
Xu Xiao Jing suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. Sure enough! The boyfriend power of the school bully He was full to bursting! Even a stomach ache would have him carrying this boy to the sickbay! Ah, what a beautiful love, she wanted to cry.
The story of their most recent disy quickly spread but the most secretive part was still unknown.
When Ji Liao returned home that night, he hadnt expected Meng Yuan to be there. He called out obediently, Uncle Meng.
Then he saw all kinds of documents on the table of the living room, which included title deeds and a household registry.
Meng Yuan took the lead in saying, Ji Liao, its like this. Your mother and I have decided to get the licence in two days, then well have you live with us. Would you like that?
He didnt have a choice. Originally, they were supposed to marry after the new year, but Xu Ai Wen had been putting it off until now, and it was most likely because Ji Liao had not stated his position on the matter. So here he was today, wanting to quickly settle this issue and bring a wife home.
Oh, I dont mind. Ji Liao put down his schoolbag.
Whether it was for Xu Ai Wen or himself, or for a future with He Cheng Ming, he didnt mind.
All right, you can go back first. Xu Ai Wen sent Meng Yuan to the door.
Afterwards, she sat down to chat with Ji Liao. Tang Tang, what do you think of Uncle Meng?
With a son, marriage wasnt just her business.
Ji Liao said, Hes quite nice and very refined. It also seems like he doesnt smoke.
He and Xu Ai Wen didnt like smoke. Ji Qing Wen used to smoke but quit for the two of them.
Yes, so do you like Uncle Meng? She asked again.
Ji Liao spoke the truth. Okay, I dont hate him.
After all, he didnt have much contact with Meng Yuan, so he wasnt able to say whether he liked him or not, just that he didnt hate him.
Mom, actually, I think its fine as long as you like him. I have no opinion. Just like myself liking the person called He Cheng Ming. Its fine as long as I like He Cheng Ming. Youre not forced to like him as well. I just hope that you wouldnt hate him.
He seldom opened his heart to Xu Ai Wen. It had taken four to five months for their rtionship to ovee their initial quarrel and cold war. These four to five months let Ji Liao mature rapidly and allowed Xu Ai Wen to gradually let go.
The original intention of Xu Ai Wensck of interference was to let Ji Liao understand the dangers of the heart by letting him experience the pain. But she didnt expect the two of them to do well for half a year. During this period, Ji Liaos performance had also improved, so she couldnt pinpoint any mistakes.
She started to wonder if she had been too harsh by not giving her child sufficient trust when he could clearly distinguish right from wrong and understand love.
Even so, Xu Ai Wen didnt relent, wanting to observe He Cheng Ming for a while.
She gave an mmm sound, indicating that she understood.
Ji Liao didnt continue. He finished his meal, then returned to his room to do his homework.
He did his homework while on a video call with He Cheng Ming. When he encountered a problem he couldnt solve, he would ask him, killing two birds with one stone.
However, the boy on the other side of the phone wasnt happy. He whimpered, fell onto the sofa and grumbled, Look at me, baby. Look at me. I want attention!
He had a look of intolerable hunger and thirst on his face.
Ji Liao acted as if he hadnt heard as he continued to be immersed in his writing.
He Cheng Ming started making someme moves, including the removal of his shirt. He had been training his chest musclestely and thought the results werent bad as he presented them to Ji Liao.
Baby, do you like it? He smiled evilly.
Ji Liao looked up, pondered, then asked, Whats the induction form of cosine?
He Cheng Ming fell back onto the sofa and cried in despair. His wife didnt have him in his heart, only math!
Ji Liaoughed while flipping through the book to find the answer, then said, I like it.
From those words, He Cheng Ming resurrected with full health. His handsome face was close to the phone as he said with a maising voice, Ill let you touch it tomorrow!
Ji Liao didnt answer but the other party observed him through the video call until his ears reddened.
As expected, he was still his little cutie!
He Cheng Ming bared his upper arms and leaned against the sofa with his lips curved, looking like a big brother, but he asked in a gentle tone, Baby, its a holiday next week on the first of May. Shall we go out to y?
They had been together for so long, but it felt like they hadnt really gone out to y together before.
Ji Liao stopped writing and responded, Where to?
Mi Ya ferry? The night scenery is beautiful.
This was one of the He familys businesses. There were activities every holiday. Moreover, they used hunger marketing strategies to control the flow of consumers. The service was excellent and there were all kinds of entertainment facilities for the people on board who only wanted enjoyment.
So every year, there were many rich kids lining up to get tickets, but there were only a few people who could actually get them.
Do you want to go? He Cheng Ming asked.
As long as the other boy wanted it, he would find a way to get it.
Okay.
Ji Liao responded casually, not knowing theplications of it. He just believed that anything He Cheng Ming praised as The night scenery is beautiful was most likely beautiful, which aroused his interest.
He Cheng Ming nced at the time. It was already past eleven oclock, so he reminded him, Baby, give me a kiss before you go to bed.
Ji Liao had no choice but to give a kiss in front of the phone.
Good boy.
He Cheng Ming took a screenshot then happily went to bed.
Within two days, Xu Ai Wen and Meng Yuan got their certificate. However, Xu Ai Wen didnt intend to organise anything extravagant to celebrate their union, even doing away with the wedding. Meng Yuan was unable to dissuade her, so in the end, he just went along with her. The two of them only invited a few good friends for a meal and used it to introduce their respective statuses.
Following that turn of events, Ji Liao moved to the Meng family house with Xu Ai Wen.
Meng Yao Yao was so happy that there was finally someone she could talk to!
But Ji Liao wasnt quite used to it. Suddenly, there were two more people in his life and one of them was a girl his age, which made him feel slightly ufortable.
The days passed in a sh, and soon it was the first of May, Labour Day.
Xu Ai Wen and Meng Yuan both had the day off. They had nned to bring Ji Liao and Meng Yao Yao abroad for quality bonding time, but Ji Liao declined because of his date with He Cheng Ming.
The whole family knew his situation, so they didnt say much about it.
Meng Yuan had always adopted the free-range method in the upbringing of children. As long as it wasnt a matter of principle, he never interfered too much. Xu Ai Wen was slightly unhappy, but knowing she couldnt stop it and with additional coaxing from Meng Yao Yao, she epted it.
She went through some safety issues with Ji Liao, then left with Meng Yuan and his daughter.
As soon as they left, Ji Liao also exited themunity. At the side of the road, he saw someone familiar; the person was dressed casually and, from afar, looked like someone out of a magazine, which immediately caught his eye. Ji Liao ran over, was brought into a hug, and then was kissed by He Cheng Ming.
He was still head over heels in love.
Chapter 59 - Was That Person Better Looking Than Me? Mmm?
Chapter 59 - Was That Person Better Looking Than Me? Mmm?
Their lips parted contentedly.
Did you bring your clothes? He asked, his tone pleasant.
Confused, Ji Liao shook his head, No, you didnt tell me to bring clothes.
When he checked around, he found that the Mi Ya ferry was docked in this citys port, so he thought that they woulde back after seeing the night scenery. Did they have to stay out overnight?
He Cheng Mings smile was cunning as he pressed against his ear to say, Then wear mine.
He had not told him on purpose because he wanted to see Ji Liao wear his clothes. His gaze travelled downwards. The other boys long, slender legs were wrapped in pants, allowing him to remember the rapturous feeling fromst time. He had to make good use of tonight!
They walked side by side. He Cheng Ming threw his hand onto Ji Liaos shoulder, the pad of his index finger brushing against his vicle again and again.
Ji Liao frowned at the itchiness and pushed his restless ws away.
He Cheng Ming was immediately aggrieved and he pouted. Why dont you let me touch? His tone was like a petnt child who hadnt had enough sugar.
Ji Liao sighed. Why hadnt he realised before that this boy was so clingy and childish? He stretched out his left hand, his five fingers spreading out, then gave He Cheng Ming a meaningful look. Satisfied, He Cheng Ming covered the hand with his own and inteced their fingers.
When they saw a bicycle rental shop alongside the street, they decided it was better to rent a bicycle than take a taxi after considering the inevitable heavy traffic during the holiday. It also happened to be a sunny day, perfect for bicycling.
So they went to the shop and rented one. He Cheng Ming got on and Ji Liao sat behind him.
Do you know how to ride? Ji Liao was a little worried. He Cheng Ming was a young master, whereas bicycles were so mundane, he was afraid he didnt know how to use one.
He Cheng Ming gave a tut sound. With one hand holding the bicycle steady, he turned his head and pinched Ji Liaos face. Doubting your boyfriend, eh?
Ji Liao didnt dare and got on obediently.
The two wheels started to turn steadily. As it turned out, He Cheng Ming not only knew how to ride, he also had good technique.
Baby, where are your hands? It didnt take long for someone toe up with a bad idea. He began to pedal with great force as he questioned.
Why? Ji Liao stretched out his right hand, which was grabbed by the person in front who fastened it around his waist.
Hold on to me. He Cheng Ming chuckled.
Ji Liaos lips also overflowed with honey. His palms were stered against the thin cloth that covered the other boys abdominal muscles. Using a little bit of strength, he felt the hard muscles.
Baby, feel free to touch brazenly. He Cheng Ming said generously, encouraging him to start!
Who was he kidding? What was his training for if not for a day such as this? To show off in front of Ji Liao and make him enthralled until he was unable to remove himself from him.
Ji Liao was not a hypocrite. His own waist had already been thoroughly touched by this boy, so what if he touched his abdominal muscles! His slender fingers began to stir, feeling its way up and down, then left and right, before resting contentedly.
How is it? Satisfied? School bully He smiled in high spirits, waiting to be praised.
Its okay. Ji Liao knew what he wanted to hear, but didnt want to say it.
His head hit the back of the person in front of him as the sudden brake pulled him forward. He Cheng Ming turned his head and inquired, Just okay?
There was a slightly annoyed expression on his face. He had trained from winter until now. Of course, on one hand, it was for exercising and improving his immunity, but on the other hand, he still wanted Ji Liao to praise him.
Seems like I have to work harder, He Cheng Ming thought, then continued to pedal.
Behind him, Ji Liao touched his nose guiltily and peered down at his own abdomen. Although he didnt have any fat, he didnt have any muscles either. It was soft and t with no prospects.
Before long, he saw the Mi Ya ferry in the distance. Its silhouette was bigger than he had imagined &#k2014; docked on the edge of the port, it was luxurious and eye-catching.
Once He Cheng Ming found a ce to park, he took Ji Liaos hand and led him aboard.
After a strict threene inspection procedure, the two of them went in. The sight stunned Ji Liao. It was his first time having contact with the luxuriousness and exquisiteness of the upper-ss society, which left him at a loss.
The person beside him held his waist. He Cheng Ming kissed him and said softly, Dont be afraid, you dont have to greet anyone. Just follow me.
The ferry had three decks. At that moment, the middle deck was full of long tables covered with pure white tablecloths and various wines and desserts on top. The wine sses were stacked high as its contents of scarlet liquid shook slightly, full of temptation under the sun.
Apanied by lingering violin music, Ji Liao followed He Cheng Ming to the rooms on the lower deck.
Tonight, they would be staying here.
As he led Ji Liao to familiarise him with the route, He Cheng Ming returned to the upper deck to have fun.
The upper deck was full of entertainment facilities that included a big casino in the middle. Every year, on activity day, the casino would organise a lottery and reward the winner of the day.
He had learned from He Mu Sheng that this years lottery was providing a pair of rings made by a famous Italian master. The master was gay and his lover had departed early. Before it was taken out to be auctioned, the never presented engagement rings were locked away in a safe until the master died.
But the craft was still in its earliest stage and the technique wasnt sophisticated, so the price wasnt high.
What He Cheng Ming valued was the meaning behind it.
It was four fifteen in the afternoon and the ferry would leave at five sharp, right when the casino would open.
The participants would receive ten gold coins in advance. After various gambling games, the winner would be the one with the most gold coins.
He Cheng Ming sat on a high chair to wait, his fingertips tapping the tabletop. He ordered a ss of light wine for Ji Liao, then asked, Are you hungry?
Ji Liao nodded.
Actually, he wasnt hungry but he wanted to eat.
He Cheng Ming ordered some snacks that he remembered tasted good. Then, when he lifted his head, he saw Gu Ming Ren striding over.
He raised his eyebrows. Why are you here?
Gu Ming Ren greeted Ji Liao, sat down and ordered a ss of wine, a strong one.
Why cant I be here? He asked coldly.
He Cheng Ming looked around but turned back after seeing no signs of Lin Jiang. Thinking about it, was it possible that he was also here for the rings?
But to him, the threat of Gu Ming Ren was very small, so he didnt think much of it.
Look, your type. He looked over, poking fun at the other boy.
Gu Ming Ren ignored him, but his remark drew Ji Liaos attention. Looking at the man, Ji Liao thought he was a little familiar. Was it an actor? Then, he saw the actor being carried away by a man.
Ji Liao: ...
Silently retracting his gaze, he looked around and realised there were many celebrities and models. Moreover, they were all very young, and he couldnt help but take another look!
He Cheng Ming didnt pay attention to any of them, but he discovered that his wife was staring at others, in particr, at a short woman who was dressed in a revealing outfit! His heart trembled as he immediately used his face to block his sight.
Who are you staring at? After saying that, he sucked at the slightly open mouth in front of him.
Ji Liao licked his lips, then smiled at him.
This action was quite seductive. He Cheng Mings heart itched, but he was hindered by the tactless Gu Ming Ren sitting beside them. He resisted the temptation to french kiss Ji Liao and rubbed his thumb against the boys lips instead.
The sun set as ten minutes passed quickly.
He Cheng Ming told Ji Liao to sit still and not look around randomly until he came back.
Immediately, after he left, Gu Ming Ren turned around and faced him.
What do you like about him? He asked Ji Liao and swayed his ss of wine, feeling slightly tipsy.
What charm did He Cheng Ming have that made you like him?
Why couldnt he? Why couldnt he get Lin Jiang no matter what he did?
Mmm? Ji Liao didnt respond for a while, but after a long dy, he said, Because hes very good to me?
Actually, he didnt know what he liked about He Cheng Ming. At first, he was terrified of him. Later, he slowly found the boy wasnt as scary as he thought. asionally, he was very gentle, looking out for him all the time. As time passed, his heart softened.
After that, he gradually developed the desire to be close to him and came to realise the butterflies the boy caused him to have.
Was that like?
It didnt matter that he liked a boy, even willing to y the role of the one being bullied by letting him kiss and hug wantonly.
He liked him to the point that even after finding out he had unintentionally hurt his beloved father, he was willing to look past it, give him a chance and forgive him.
Good?
Gu Ming Ren took off the gold-framed sses that had slid to the tip of his nose and threw it aside on the table, then he lifted his head to take another mouthful of wine.
Wasnt he good enough to Lin Jiang?
But that son of a bitch still hated him without reason.
From their very first meeting, he had ced him outside of his circle of friends. On the surface, Gu Shao sounded good, but it was only a facade to hide the criticism in his heart.
Ha, Gu Ming Ren sneered.
But what could he do, he was pathetic and just liked that son of a bitch.
Beside him, Ji Liao didnt dare to speak. It was the first time he had seen Gu Ming Ren without sses he looked much fiercer than usual, even more so as someone who shouldnt be provoked. It was possible that he looked fiercer than He Cheng Ming!
The two of them sat there for half an hour.
It was easy for He Cheng Ming to get gold coins. His proficiency in calction and reasoning won him any card game that needed these two skills. Arge number of gold coins were pushed toward him and he gathered them into his pouch.
In thest ten seconds of the contest, he sessfully won the lottery. After a brief nce at the tinum couple rings, he kept them in his pocket.
He turned, preparing to look for Ji Liao, but unexpectedly bumped into Lin Jiang and the girl who was with him.
Lin Jiang was startled and surprised. Ming Ge? Youre here too?
He Cheng Ming felt like he had seen a ghost. Why was everyone here today?!
He made an mmm sound and his gaze fell on the pure-looking girl beside Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang introduced immediately, This is my new girlfriend, Si Ran. After that, he was a little embarrassed.
Li Si Rans eyes were bright as she called out, Hi, Ming Ge.
Shocked by her sweet voice, He Cheng Ming got goosebumps. He didnt expect Lin Jiang to have such an excessive taste.
With a slight nod, he strode away.
He cut through the crowd, and when he returned to his original seat, he asked Ji Liao at once, Did you look at anyone just now?
Ji Liao turned his face away guiltily. So what if he looked, werent eyes used for looking?
Feeling jealous, He Cheng Ming held his face and turned it to face his own. Was that person better looking than me? Mmm?
Ji Liao conceded defeat and took the initiative to kiss him.
He said with a grin, Not as good looking as you. After the praise, he changed the topic. So, did you win?
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows. Of course.
Dont you know who your boyfriend is?!
And the prize? What is it?
Ill show you at night. He smiled mysteriously.
Beside him, Gu Ming Ren scoffed. He held his heavy head and revealed, Isnt it just rings?
He Cheng Mings face darkened. What kind of fucking brother was this?! If he had not seen him drinking, he would have dragged him up for a beating!
Although he couldnt make a move, he still had an invisible knife.
I just saw Lin Jiang. Oh, and his girlfriend. What was her name...Si Ran?
The corner of Gu Ming Rens lips lifted as he looked at him with half-opened eyes; he didnt speak, but the sadness in his eyes, as if it were about to overflow, exposed him.
He Cheng Ming couldnt bear to see him like this but he wasnt in a position to say anything, which irritated him. After some thought, he felt that something wasnt right. Based on Lin Jiangs family background, it would be difficult for him to get the ferry tickets.
Unless...
Did you help him with the tickets? His voice was incredulous.
Gu Ming Ren stood shakily, his hair stered to his face by traces of wine, and he looked unexpectedly sexy.
He swallowed, then said in a low voice, Yes.
He even got him two tickets...
Chapter 60 - Its Called Fun, Baby
Chapter 60 - Its Called Fun, Baby
He Cheng Ming smacked his lips. He hadnt realised that Gu Ming Ren was an affectionate person his concession to Lin Jiang was an eye-opener for him.
To be fair, if Ji Liao had wanted to date someone other than him today, it would already be a huge kindness if he didnt intervene. But if he ever asked for his help? It was nonsense.
But he couldnt get involved in this sort of thing. He patted Gu Ming Ren on the shoulder helplessly before taking Ji Liao away for a candlelight dinner.
They had been together for almost half a year but it was the first time they had a formal dinner date.
There were various types of cuisines avable on the ferry. Keeping in mind that Ji Liao loved seafood and was partial to sweet and sour food, He Cheng Ming brought him to a Spanish restaurant. He ordered some famous dishes and a bottle of sweet wine.
The server retrieved two wine sses, then tipped the wine bottle as the greenish-yellow liquid that emanated a strong fragrance flowed neatly into the ss.
Ji Liaos eyes brightened. Once the server left, he took a sip. At first, it was a little astringent, but slowly there was a sweet aftertaste. He raised his eyebrows. It was quite good.
Sitting opposite of him, He Cheng Ming propped up his chin and stared at the boys satisfied face. His heart was full, and he felt like there was nothing more he needed in this life.
Before long, the dishes were delivered to the table. Ji Liao ate happily, using all of his time to eat rather than talk.
He Cheng Ming smiled and said gently, Eat slowly. No one will fight you for it.
Ji Liao nodded and thought about what to eat next. His mouth was still chewing while his eyes were already fixated on something else.
He Cheng Ming raised a hand and picked up a prawn. Ji Liaos gaze followed as if to say, I saw that first! Only until He Cheng Ming peeled off the red shell, wiped his hands and gave him the tender meat, was he happy.
Baby, what should you call me today? He Cheng Ming asked deliberately.
Ji Liao swallowed and said, He Cheng Ming.
Wrong.
When he took away the prawn, Ji Liao panicked and said immediately, Ming Ge?
Thats for other people to call. The youth had a cool expression on his face.
Ba..baby? Ji Liao was a little ashamed.
He Cheng Ming gave a pfft sound and leaned closer to him, saying warmly, That is your exclusive name.
Ji Liaos cheeks reddened. In the end, he decided to forgo it. He could feed himself!
In a few moments, he had peeled one. Unexpectedly, the other boy reached out, grabbed his wrist and pulled it to his mouth, eating the fruit of hisbour, then licking his fingers seductively!
Surprised, Ji Liao withdrew his hand, the ces where he was licked feeling hot.
I wouldnt tease you. Good boy, open your mouth. He Cheng Ming picked up the previous prawn.
Ji Liaos eyes squinted in disbelief, but he couldnt resist wanting to eat it. He opened his mouth slightly and the delicious prawn was fed into his mouth. He bit into it and the juices overflowed, so fragrant that he closed his eyes.
He Cheng Ming bent over withughter at the rapture on his face, then peeled the entire te for him.
Im so full. Having eaten too much, Ji Liao was immobile on the chair, frowning and looking slightly ufortable.
He Cheng Ming believed that he had over-indulged; he immediately asked the server to bring him two digestive tablets.
Once the two of them recovered for a while, they left the restaurant at nearly half-past eight.
At that time, there were many people on deck, men and women mostly in pairs, snuggling together as they talked or kissed. The braver ones actively moved their hands, not afraid to be seen by others.
Ji Liao was stunned by this degree of disy and sighed twice.
However, the atmosphere here was really good. The ferry was covered with tiny light bulbs, so when it was nightfall, it gave off an indistinct glow. From the vast sea, it seemed as if they were stars falling into the river.
With the elegant violin music in his ears and the fresh sea breeze against his face, he was unable to resist wanting to kiss He Cheng Ming!
Baby, dont worry.
Although his mouth told him not to worry, his hands were faster than anyone elses, already touching his waist. Ji Liao felt a little weak as he leaned against his body, letting him do whatever he wanted.
His obedient appearance made He Cheng Ming difficult to resist him, but he forced himself to interrupt it, wanting to wait for the highlight tonight.
He led the boy to a vacant area and encircled him in his arms, kissing the side of his head.
Before long, fireworks went off in the distance, clusters of them blooming in the night sky. Colours streamed around, lighting up the darkness as bright as daytime.
Ji Liao leaned against the railing of the boat, watching the disy with clear eyes and dted pupils. The brilliant fireworks exploded in front of his eyes, the most beautiful moment being taken in at a nce. Then the sparks fell sparsely and disappeared into the sea.
I love you, baby.
He Cheng Mings lips were against his ear. The three words settled in his heart without warning like abrupt fireworks, leaving a deep imprint.
Me too.
He turned around, wrapped both arms around the neck of the person in front of him, and opened his mouth to kiss him.
Suddenly, he felt something glide onto his middle finger. He brought his right hand in front of his eyes and saw a ring.
His heart trembled. He engaged himself farther in the initiative, provoking He Cheng Ming until he was flustered, but eventually, he carried him to the lower deck rooms.
Once he was thrown onto the bed, the tall figure above him pounced. The two of them had not dealt with their desire for some time, and they mutually rubbed one out.
Afterwards, Ji Liaoy spread out on the bed. Except for the final step, they had done everything else.
He Cheng Ming clung to him again as he kissed him affectionately.
Bath? He asked in a hoarse voice.
Feeling tired after the pleasure, Ji Liao didnt want to move.
He Cheng Mingughed, lifted him by the waist and brought him to the bathroom to wash up.
After they came out, he asked Ji Liao to wear his long sweater without pants. The sweater hung loosely on his shoulder and covered his hips. His fair and slender legs made He Cheng Ming hard, and they rolled together again.
Guilty pleasure. Ji Liaomented on his hobby.
Its called fun, baby. He Cheng Ming took a fresh bath, then burrowed into the other boys bed aftering out.
Then coaxed Ji Liao into calling him hubby.
Ji Liaos mouth was shut tightly, feeling too ashamed to call out hubby! He was unwilling to open his mouth, even if he was dying.
Are you going to say it or not?
He Cheng Ming tickled his body, and with nowhere to hide, Ji Liaos whole body curled into a ball and shook withughter. Finally, he couldnt endure it anymore as he wailed like a cat, Hubby.
He Cheng Ming couldnt bear it his body felt like it had been electrified, immediately causing a reaction.
He reached out to cover Ji Liaos mouth.
This alluring thing was going to make him die from excessive ejaction!
The next day, they woke up.
When Ji Liao opened his eyes first, he found the other boy holding him. Not wanting to wake him up, he didnt move.
Thinking back on everything that had happenedst night, he looked at his right hand which had a ring on it, and his heart warmed.
When He Cheng Ming woke up to the sight of his little cutie staring at the ring that he had given him, he couldnt help but lean over to kiss him.
Seeing that he was awake, Ji Liao rolled away to get up and put on his freshlyundered clothes.
Afterwards, they went out for breakfast.
The Mi Ya ferry had started its return to the port in order to pick up its big bosses, He Yue Jin and Zhao Mei Lan.
Zhao Mei Lan recently discovered that He Yue Jin seemed to be involved in a particr matter. For quite a few days, he hade back with the same scent of perfume on his body. There was an 80% possibility that it was from an externally kept vixen. She knew that men were unreliable. So what if he had taken her as a wife? Couldnt he still have an affair?
Because she understood this clearly, she had to hold on to her power.
As for that vixen, so long as she didnt threaten her position, she would close an eye.
However, she still had to remind everyone who the dignified Mrs. He was.
So Mi Ya ferry broke its two-day round trip record to rush back in the night.
Zhao Mei Lan took He Yue Jins arm, then boarded the ferry under the eyes of the captain and the people-in-charge.
He Mu Sheng heard the news from thepany and called He Cheng Ming at once, but the boy had left his phone in the room and couldnt answer.
As He Cheng Ming watched Ji Liao sip his porridge with smacking lips, he felt his own appetite increase.
ncing outside, he wondered why they had returned to the port.
He called a server over to ask, and the reply given was, Its because Mr. and Mrs. He are here.
Hearing the indistinct sounds of amotion, He Cheng Mings expression became stiff as his spirits dampened.
Ji Liao was a little nervous. Didnt that mean He Cheng Mings parents were here?
While deep in conversation, Zhao Mei Lan had alreadye in with He Yue Jin. Her smiling face froze the moment she saw the two of them.
She panicked, immediately wanting to pull He Yue Jin away, but he had already seen his son as he said in a delighted tone, Isnt that Xiao Ming?
He strode over, wanting to chat with his son during his rare free time.
He Cheng Ming had some respect left for He Yue Jin as he called out, Dad. He didnt say anything to Zhao Mei Lan.
He Yue Jin nodded, then his gaze moved to Ji Liao as if to ponder which family the child was from.
Zhao Mei Lan was afraid that the secret would be exposed as she hurriedly said, This should be Xiao Mings ssmate, right?
When He Cheng Ming didnt make a sound, the atmosphere plummeted, bing strange. Ji Liao didnt want the situation to be unbearable, so he took the initiative to say, Hi, Uncle. My name is Ji Liao, He Cheng Mings ssmate.
At his remark, He Cheng Mings eyebrows shot up high; he was about to open his mouth to correct it when Ji Liaos hand pressed against him under the table.
He Yue Jin didnt question it, instead, he replied meaningfully, Cheng Ming doesnt have many friends. But it looks like you two have a good rtionship since youre out together ying like this.
As soon as he finished, Gu Ming Ren came up from the lower deck. Seeing this scene, he approached and greeted them in a familiar manner. Uncle He, Auntie Zhao, youre here too?
After that, he sat naturally beside He Cheng Ming, as if he had been apanying him.
Moments before, Zhao Mei Lan had been so scared, she had almost fainted. In the next second, she came to life again when she saw Gu Ming Ren.
Yes, your uncle and I just arrived. Relieved, she pulled He Yue Jin away coquettishly. Us old people shouldnt disturb Xiao Ming and his friends. Lets go. I want to look around at the top.
Before He Yue Jin left, his gaze fell on Ji Liao for two seconds, sensing some sort of familiarity from him, but he couldnt remember where he had seen him before.
When his parents left, He Cheng Ming went outside to check the situation and found that the ferry had started moving away from the port.
He couldnt escape.
Chapter 61 - Please Shut Up! Stop Flirting!
Chapter 61 - Please Shut Up! Stop Flirting!
Ill like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Peachieevee for her fantastic help in editing chapters 1 to 60. Unfortunately, shes unable to continue due to real-life issues and I have made the choice to continue tranting without an editor from chapter 61 onward. Appreciate if everyone can bear with my unedited trantions and continue to support this story. Thank you!
Fuck!
With a sullen expression, he came in again and seeing Ji Liaos worried expression, he felt a little uneasy. Walking over, he pinched the palm of the other boy and said in a low voice, Dont worry. Just leave it to me.
He had never been a man of verbal bravado, neither was he afraid toe out in front of He Yue Jin.
After leading a three-year life of a puppet, if he still couldnt protect the other boy today, it would be better to break up early than continue dating.
Okay. When Ji Liao responded, his heart was uncertain.
He Yue Jins reputation was very well-known and he frequently appeared on the financial channel. It was only today that he knew that man was He Cheng Mings father.
Looking at it this way, there was a great difference in social standing between the two of them. He started to feel troubled but was reluctant to part with the rtionship.
He Cheng Ming saw the struggle in his eyes and held the back of Ji Liaos head with his big hands. He pushed the head full of wild thoughts toward himself and kissed his forehead.
Its okay. Trust me. He said firmly.
Beside him, Gu Ming Ren ate his pasta expressionlessly. He saw the entire interaction between the two of them and couldnt help tapping his fork to remind them that there was still a living thing there. Could they fucking disy less public show of affection?
Did single dogs have no human rights?
He Cheng Ming nced at him then retracted his gaze, asking Ji Liao to sit down and continue eating.
Before long, a tinkling sound ofughter came from behind. Then a girl said coquettishly, Ah Jiang, feed me quickly!
The voice was sharine and all three of them had goosebumps after hearing it.
However, Lin Jiang feltfortable with it. He liked cute girls who knew how to be coquettish, letting him be filled with macho self-confidence.
Little foodie.
Lin Jiang fed the small crystal dumpling to Li Si Ran, who was sitting opposite him. Seeing Li Si Rans sweet smile, he was extremely satisfied, his male chauvinism expanding in an unprecedented manner, making him feel very cocky.
However, this self-satisfied and indulgent voice made Gu Ming Rens back prickle with cold.
Suddenly, he lost his appetite and put his fork down.
He Cheng Ming nced over and saw Lin Jiang and his girlfriend behaving intimately, feeding each other sweetly. Thinking of how Gu Ming Ren hade to the rescue earlier even though he didnt need it, he decided to help him out because of the other boys good intentions.
Turning around, he said, Lin Jiang, why dont you bring your girlfriend over here to get acquainted with us?
Lin Jiang heard the voice and raised his head, then realised that He Cheng Ming was there with Ji Liao beside him, and Gu Ming Ren.
When his gaze fell on Gu Ming Ren, his eyes shed and he was slightly ufortable, feeling a natural resistance to that person.
But he did not want to brush off He Cheng Mings words and brought Li Si Ran over.
Didnt I introduce you yesterday? Laughing as he said this, Lin Jiang avoided Gu Ming Ren and sat beside He Cheng Ming.
Ji Liao doesnt know her. He Cheng Ming replied like a big-shot.
Okay okay. Lin Jiang was in a good mood. With his arm around Li Si Rans shoulder, he re-introduced her, This is my Ming Ge. You met him yesterday. This is my sister-inw, Ming Ges boyfriend, Ji Liao.
After a pause, he continued, This is Gu Shao. There was no expression on his face.
Li Si Ran was a little surprised. She didnt expect He Cheng Ming to be gay and felt that it was a pity. But she behaved appropriately and said softly, Ah Jiang often mentions you, Ming Ge. Yesterday when I saw you, I felt that you were very handsome. I didnt expect your boyfriend to be so cute as well!
After praising He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao, Li Si Ran looked at Gu Ming Ren, then smiled sweetly and continued, Gu Shao looks very cool. But I realised, as expected, all of you good-looking people only hang out with other good-looking people.
This sentence had praised everyone present and Lin Jiang suddenly felt a great sense of pride. His girlfriend was not only pretty but also had a sweet mouth. He really hit the jackpot.
He Cheng Ming smiled, leaning back in his chair casually and helped Gu Ming Ren ask, So how did you and Lin Jiang meet?
Li Si Ran seemed reluctant to answer this question. She blinked and avoided a detailed reply. We met at a friends party. Actually, I was the one who pursued Ah Jiang. Later, I found out that Ah Jiang also liked me.
Lin Jiang was also unwilling to stay on this topic and asked, Ming Ge, what are you doingter? Want to y something?
He was referring to the pool table on the third floor.
He Cheng Ming considered it quickly. Being alone with Ji Liao would likely cause Zhao Mei Lan to monitor him closely. It was better to y with Lin Jiang, allowing Ji Liao to rx at the same time and avoid thinking too much.
Okay. He answered.
Then he asked the person near him. Do you know how to y pool?
Ji Liao felt awkward. Just a little.
He Cheng Ming thought, it was enough that he knew a little. If he knew everything, there would be no room for him to y.
Then hubby will teach youter. He whispered in Ji Liaos ear.
Ji Liaos ears turned red, making He Cheng Mingugh and reach out to touch it with the pads of his fingers.
Lin Jiang couldnt stand to look and stood up immediately, saying, Then lets go now? He didnt have any intention to invite Gu Ming Ren.
On the contrary, Li Si Ran asked, Arent you going, Gu Shao?
Lin Jiang stopped and turned to look at Gu Ming Ren, who had a dark expression on his face. He thought to himself, who cares if you go or not.
But Li Si Ran said enthusiastically, Gu Shao, go with us? I dont know how to y pool. The four of you can make two pairs.
The phrase two pairs made Lin Jiang especially ufortable and he pulled his girlfriend away. Who fucking wanted to be a pair with Gu Ming Ren?!
Seeing the situation, He Cheng Ming kicked the unmoving youth.
The youths sneering eyes were hidden under gold-framed sses. When he raised his eyes again, he had resumed his indifference and stood up.
He despised his pathetess but followed.
The five of them booked a room and ordered some fruit drinks.
He Cheng Ming took the lead to teach Ji Liao some techniques. His body pressed against the other boys bent back and his palm covered the back of his hand. See? Aim at the target and push hard.
As he spoke, the ball went straight into the pocket with a crack.
Ji Liao wanted to say that he actually didnt y well, not that he didnt know how to y at all. However, the other boy refused to listen, insisting on teaching him the most basic skills, then used the opportunity to take advantage of him. He had clearly just bumped into his ass deliberately!
This rascal!
Ji Liao pinched He Cheng Mings waist, making the other boyugh instead and kiss him in public.
Lin Jiang was really angry but didnt dare to curse. Was it so sweet to fall in love? And what was wrong with him?! He wasnt a single dog anymore, so why was he still being abused?!
Damn it!
Lin Jiang couldnt stand it and finally walked over to ask, Ming Ge, can we start?!
He had already been staring Gu Ming Ren down for half an hour! If the staring continued, something would definitely happen!
He Cheng Ming waved. Okay, Ji Liao and I will take the single numbers. You two take the double numbers.
Automatically grouping him with Gu Ming Ren.
Lin Jiang touched the tip of his nose and said nothing. He took the initiative to pick up the ball. Lets start.
Next to him, Li Si Ran cheered, Go Ah Jiang. You have to win!
Then she added, Gu Shao too!
The corner of Gu Ming Rens lips lifted and he nced at Lin Jiang but saw that the other boy didnt feel there was anything wrong with his girlfriend. He thought, how naive. Even being such a dumbass, he could still find a girlfriend. Sure enough, being rich could rid one of loneliness.
Lin Jiang arranged the balls and He Cheng Ming took one shot, immediately sinking a ball. Seeing the adoration in Ji Liaos eyes, he felt floaty and became even more energetic, sinking another three in a row.
Lin Jiang howled, Ming Ge, be merciful.
Being so aggressive right at the start? That would be disgraceful for him!
So He Cheng Ming gave in, gently arranging the position and paving the way for Ji Liao. However, Ji Liaos technique was too poor and he didnt pocket the ball even though it was a direct shot. But this didnt stop hen-pecked He from closing his eyes and bragging, Thats great! It almost went in.
Ji Liao: Please shut up!
Then it was Gu Ming Rens turn and he was also as urate as can be. He sank three shots in a row and Li Si Ran cheered, Gu Shao, youre amazing!
The tabletop situation suddenly became difficult. Lin Jiang wanted to show off his skill in front of his girlfriend, so he chose a seemingly difficult but in fact very stable shot to show off and also sank a shot.
Li Si Ran didnt praise him, only shouted, Go Ah Jiang!
Lin Jiang was a little discouraged. Why did she only praise Gu Ming Ren and not him?! He was so annoyed that his hand trembled and he missed his shot.
He Cheng Ming was given the opportunity to pursue the enemy and follow up with a victory.
Both sides were closely matched. In the end, Ji Liao sank thest single-numbered ball, ending the game.
With a lowered voice, He Cheng Ming praised flirtatiously, Worthy to be my wife, so amazing.
Ji Liao felt so ashamed that he red angrily and warned, If you say it again, Im going to be angry.
He Cheng Ming was aggrieved. I was speaking sincerely.
Ji Liao just covered his mouth to stop his flirting!
At the end of the first round, Gu Ming Ren felt listless and wasnt sure what he was staying there for.
He went out to smoke a cigarette and leaned his back beside the door blowing out smoke, obscuring his face.
He had quit smoking for Lin Jiang. Now, he picked it up again feeling that it was still a good thing and could at least help him to rx.
After a while, Li Si Ran came out and her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Ming Ren. She walked over immediately and asked sweetly, Gu Shao, you smoke?
Gu Ming Ran looked askance at her and thought, was she blind? Wasnt he smoking right then?
As expected, she was the same as Lin Jiang, an idiot.
Seeing that he didnt respond, Li Si Ran was a little confused. In a nce, she could see that Gu Ming Ren was richer than Lin Jiang and wanted to take a chance to see if she could hook up with him. Unexpectedly, he totally ignored her.
But she was confident in her beauty and flipped her hair. Then she bit her lip gently and said, Gu Shao, could I have your WeChat contact?
It was said with a slightly provocative voice and an underlying hint of seduction.
Gu Ming Ren lifted his eyes to look at her and said coldly, Arent you Lin Jiangs girlfriend?
Li Si Ran tilted her head and gave him a charming smile. She pushed at his chest and feeling some substance in that touch, she was even more satisfied and said with a yful pout, Today Im Lin Jiangs girlfriend. Tomorrow, I could be your girlfriend.
Gu Ming Ren sneered to himself and lifted his hand for a smoke, not speaking for a long time.
Li Si Ran waited for a long time and began to lose her cool slightly. But she felt like that wasnt right. If he had no interest, he would have ignored her earlier. Since he had asked, it meant that she still had a chance. So she waited for a while.
Sure enough, Gu Ming Ren finished smoking and handed his phone to her.
Li Si Ran happily added his WeChat contact and at the same time, saved his phone number. She wanted to show some sweetness to him and was about to move closer when he pushed her away mercilessly.
With long strides, Gu Ming Ren walked away.
Chapter 62 - Still Dont Think It Was Ugly Enough, Is That It?
Chapter 62 - Still Dont Think It Was Ugly Enough, Is That It?
Back in the room, He Cheng Ming beckoned him to start another game.
After Li Si Ran came in, she sat aside and started chatting with her friend on WeChat, asking her if she knew what kind of connections Gu Ming Ren had. She wasnt knowledgeable in this and knew nothing besides being able to see that he was well-dressed and had aristocratic traits.
Her friend quickly replied with a row of exmation marks, and in an outburst, told her that he was a figure at the top of the pyramid, belonging to a really powerful family and not at the same level as a rich second generation like Lin Jiang!
If she could pair up with Gu Ming Ren, she wouldnt have to do anything else in her life and just try her best to be extravagant.
It was like a pheasant transforming into a phoenix, reaching the sky in a single flight.
Li Si Rans eyes widened and she gripped her phone, shaking uncontrobly. She hadnt expected to inadvertently hook such a big fish!
Her gaze turned toward Gu Ming Ren who was standing upright. His thin lips were slightly pursed and on the high bridge of his nose, a pair of gold-framed sses were perched, unable to cover his fierce and enchanting eyes. Li Si Ran seemed to be bewitched by those bright eyes and her heart thumped violently, almost as if she had fallen in love without hesitation.
Gu Ming Ren held the cue in his hand and sensed an intense gaze on him. He looked up and finding that Lin Jiangs idiotic girlfriend was gazing at him with starry-eyed infatuation, he felt an inevitable sense of irony.
Then, he curved his lips expressionlessly.
This move left Li Si Ran with unlimited wild thoughts, even wanting to break up with Lin Jiang immediately to pursue the person in front of her.
In the end, a shred of reason pulled her back. After calming down, Li Si Ran decided to wait. She didnt want to be in the position of not picking up the watermelon and also losing the seed.
When she came in earlier, she hadnt closed the door, leaving about a twenty-centimetre gap. He Yue Jin and Zhao Mei Lan stood nearby. From their point of view, they could clearly see He Cheng Ming with his arm around Ji Liao, with his chin propped on his shoulder in a happy mood. From time to time, he even bit the other boys ear, looking extremely intimate. Something was said, making He Cheng Ming suddenly burst intoughter and Ji Liao red at him with bulging cheeks.
This was already beyond the interaction of normal friends.
Zhao Mei Lan felt like she had been struck by lightning and wanted to rush over immediately to separate them, but was stopped by He Yue Jin.
She trembled and saw the imposing man call over his assistant, telling him to check on Ji Liaos background and how many rooms He Cheng Ming had booked yesterday.
Zhao Mei Lan unconsciously tried to stop him. Yue Jin.
The man turned, giving her a look that offered no room forment and those fierce eyes made Zhao Mei Lan step back in fear.
He Yue Jin had an indifferent expression which did not reveal happiness or anger. His gaze stayed at the ring on his sons finger for a few seconds, then he strode away.
He was waiting for a result. If He Cheng Ming was just ying with men, he didnt mind and even felt that the boy was only following his nature, as one should not waste their youth. Contrary to what one might expect, each generation was better than the previous.
But if he wanted to smear the He family name, then it wasnt the same.
Zhao Mei Lan didnt know what He Yue Jin was thinking, but she felt that the longer he was silent, the more terrible it was. She wanted to sound out the situation but He Yue Jin started working once he was in the room!
Zhao Mei Lan was very guilty and made him a cup of tea.
The mobile phone on the table rang suddenly. She nced over and saw that the call notification showed a womans English name.
He Yue Jin picked it up, got up and walked aside, deliberately avoiding her before he answered the call. Zhao Mei Lan looked at his expression and seeing the indulgent look on his face, she knew that it must be the perfume vixen from before!
She immediately panicked and her fingernails dug into her palms. Now, He Cheng Ming had be her only way out.
Zhao Mei Lan turned to leave the room, then went straight to the ce where they were previously ying pool. Finding it empty, she immediately asked someone to check He Cheng Mings room number and getting the universal card key, she opened the room door.
When she looked in, she saw Ji Liao snuggled in her sons embrace, the two of them having fun gaming.
Zhao Mei Lans eyes were red with anger. She walked over to pull Ji Liao up and scolded, You shameless thing! You could be a normal man but you had to be a vixen whos neither male nor female.
Seeing this, He Cheng Ming immediately grabbed her wrist, pushing her away fiercely and covering Ji Liaos ears.
The words were too harsh and he didnt want Ji Liao to hear it.
Zhao Mei Lan copsed pitifully on the floor and started crying, disregarding her image. Sheined sullenly to He Cheng Ming, Xiao Ming, can you help Mom? Your father has some other woman outside. If you also leave, Mom will really have nothing.
As if she had suffered serious harm, she cried bitterly.
This disy made He Cheng Ming hesitate for a moment. Then divorce him.
Zhao Mei Lan stopped her tears, looked at him incredulously and eximed, How can I? If I divorce your father, what will you do? What about your future? You know Mom did it all for you.
With that, her gaze shifted to Ji Liao, expressing deep resentment. If it wasnt for this vixen, her son would always be outstanding. He would grow up outstanding and be an outstanding sessor. He was to be med for everything, this thing that was neither male nor female!
Zhao Mei Lan fixed a death re on Ji Liao. Then she stood and with a raised hand, rushed forward without warning.
There was a smack sound. He Cheng Ming had taken a step forward to block him and was pped till his head was turned aside.
Zhao Mei Lan only felt her palm burning. When she looked up, she saw that she had actually hit her own son! Immediately feeling a heartache, she cried out, Xiao Ming! Why are you so stupid?!
She wanted to move closer to check on him but was blocked by Ji Liaos body.
When he heard that smack, his ears rang, showing how much strength she had used.
Ji Liaos eyes were wet seeing He Cheng Mings red face. There were even areas in his skin where sharp fingernails had sliced open, leaving long and thin bloodstains.
Ji Liao quickly took tissue paper for him to wipe. He Cheng Ming took his hand and seeing his distressed expression, he said with a smile, Its okay. It doesnt hurt.
This scene sorely hurt Zhao Mei Lans eyes. Wasnt this acting like she didnt exist?!
She went up again and grabbed Ji Liaos arm forcefully, not wanting the boy to break away from her easily. The person she had always thought was weak and easily bullied suddenly became serious and angry. Ji Liao looked at her and felt that she was being too much.
Auntie, please go out. He was already being very polite.
Zhao Mei Lan felt his words were ridiculous and asked him, Do you know whose property this is?! The whole ferry is mine. Youre asking me to go out?!
Her expression showed disdain and she felt that Ji Liao was a fool.
Auntie, ording to the rights and interests of customers, I have already rented the right to use this room. Without consent, no one else has the right to enter. I can report this to the police right now.
With attention to detail, Ji Liao recited the rules of customer rights and interests from a political textbook, intimidating her for a moment.
Of course, she wasnt afraid of Ji Liao reporting it to the police, but of making a bigger fuss about the matter. He Yue Jin was now still calm, making her very uneasy.
But Ji Liaos words had a very obvious loophole. After a slight pause from Zhao Mei Lan, she mocked, Ah, did you rent it? Ill tell you, even if you went through your entire familys fortune, you wouldnt be able to get onto this ferry. What customer rights and interests are you talking about and who are you trying to scare?!
Ji Liao didnt know how to argue and was blocked in an instant. He looked frustrated but unable to vent and He Cheng Ming wanted tough but immediately restrained himself. Then he stepped up and said coldly, I rented it. You can get out.
This son was going to be the death of her! Helping the vixen to speak out!
Xiao Ming, Im your mother! She attempted to bring him to his senses.
He Cheng Ming was annoyed and without saying anything, he held her arm dragging her out forcefully. Zhao Mei Lan resisted desperately but was still thrown outside the door. Seeing him m the door, she took out the master card but found that the safety chain was used to secure the door from inside.
Zhao Mei Lan was about to bang on the door when she heard a stern voice behind her. Still dont think it was ugly enough, is that it?
She turned and saw He Yue Jins tight expression. Her legs weakened instantly and she fell to the ground.
He Yue Jin ordered his assistant to bring her back to the room.
Ten minutes ago, Ji Liaos information had been sent to his desk.
As it turned out, he was Ji Qing Wens son. He still had some impression of Ji Qing Wen and remembered that he was a very hard-working man who did things in a very steadfast manner. At first, he had thought quite highly of him and even offered to help him study architecture abroad. But the offer was refused because he didnt want to be apart from his wife and child.
At that time, he felt that this man wouldnt amount to anything.
Later when the ident happened, he didnt want that call to have been from Zhao Mei Lan because her son liked the mans son.
He Yue Jin had also just found that out that stupid woman had secretly asked a doctor to dispense medicine for his son! It had almost made his gifted son a fool and it had been concealed from him for three years. It was such a disaster.
Compared to Ji Liao, his gifted son had behaved beyond his expectations.
ording to the data, He Cheng Ming had been in touch with the stock market for a year. With half a year of maniption and He Mu Shengs support, they had made a profit of nearly a hundred million yuan as of yesterday. This was all through He Mu Shengs private ount.
It seemed like his older son would be amazing with a single feat the moment he tried.
With the two of them joining hands, they unexpectedly gave him a sense of fear.
He Yue Jin was past fifty and his eyes had been muddied by the business world, but they were still bright.
He motioned to his bodyguard to knock on the door.
Inside, He Cheng Ming sat on the sofa while Ji Liao gently wiped the five-fingered p mark on his face carefully with a moist towel.
At the same time ming him verbally, Why did you help me block it?
He Cheng Ming smiled sloppily, saying without a hint of seriousness, How could I willingly allow you to suffer such pain, baby? Hubby would feel such heartache.
In anger, Ji Liao pressed down hard and He Cheng Ming hissed, taking in a breath of cold air. It scared Ji Liao who quickly came closer to blow on the wound. He Cheng Ming took the opportunity to encircle him, cing him on his legs while teasing him gently, Look at you. Why do you need to do that? In the end, doesnt it hurt your own heart?
Ji Liao felt helplessly injured but seeing the boys red face, he couldnt bear to me him. He decided to let it be and find another chance for revenge the next time.
Right then, there was a knock at the door. The bodyguard at the door said, Second young master, the president is looking for you.
Hearing this, He Cheng Ming immediately restrained himself from any facial expression and asked Ji Liao to stay in the room. Then, he got up and undid the safety chain.
He leaned against the door with an indifferent expression, meeting He Yue Jins unfathomable eyes. With a look, he knew that the man had found out.
Unfortunately, it was already toote.
Chapter 63 - Go Break Up with Your Little Lover
Chapter 63 - Go Break Up with Your Little Lover
He followed He Yue Jin to the newly-opened business room.
The man maintained his intensity, sitting his imposing figure behind the desk with thetest information about him and Ji Liao on it.
He Cheng Ming nced at it without much surprise showing on his face, then leaned casually against the sofa and asked, What is it?
He Yue Jin sized him up with astute eyes only to realise that his son had already be so tall. Straight to the point, he said, When did it start? With that kid.
The kid referred to Ji Liao.
He Cheng Ming felt there was nothing to hide and said directly, Last October, its been half a year.
He Yue Jin looked through the information on the table and found thatst October was exactly the time when the boy had started dabbling in the stock markets. It was obvious that he had nned everything from the start, strictly implemented it till the current day and also ensured that there wasnt a single mistake in the process.
He was only seventeen and with such amazing strength to control and execute, it undoubtedly showed that he had an unquestionable ability, as well as being gifted in the stock markets.
How do you n to take care of this matter?
He Yue Jin had always taken responsibility, even if it was He Mu Sheng standing in front of him.
Previously, it was very difficult for him to ask anyone how they nned to deal with a matter. He was used to giving orders and felt that opinions and ideas from others were just a waste of time for him.
Why, didnt Ms. Zhao tell you? Ive already moved out from the family house. If you still want to remove my name, I dont care. But if you want to touch Ji Liao, you had better reconsider.
He Cheng Ming didnt know his father very well. They werent close and it was Zhao Mei Lan who had brought him up from young. Most of the time, he didnt see He Yue Jin. Maybe, it was due to him being too busy with the business or maybe, he wasnt important to him.
So he didnt know what means He Yue Jin would use to deal with him. If he only dealt with him, then it didnt matter. He was most afraid that he would do something to Ji Liao.
Xiao Ming, youre still young. In the future, youll meet countless people, men and woman. Thats not important. You like that kid, you can continue to support him, but you cant make obvious appearances. Can you do that?
He Yue Jin felt that he had made concessions and that the boy should be deeply grateful to him.
But he didnt expect He Cheng Ming to straighten, strode over and p both hands on the table. He said derisively, Dad, I think you might have misunderstood. Me being with him does not require anyones consent, including yours.
He Yue Jin had never before been rebuked in such a face-to-face manner, making him so angry that his lips trembled and he pointed at the person in front of him. What do you mean by this?! If you dare toe out openly, dont think that youll be getting half of my assets!
He Cheng Ming sneered and rapped his knuckles against the information on the table, reminding him that he wasnt short of money.
Fine, Ill see how long you can be stubborn for.
He Yue Jins face was pasty. In front of him, he called Meng Yuan and Xu Ai Wenspany and requested for the other party to look for a reason to terminate their employment.
It was just an SME that had wanted to work with the He name repeatedly but couldnt match up. Now, it was like as if a pie had fallen out of the sky and they had quickly agreed.
Although they had to suffer the painful loss of a trusted lieutenant, the boss of thepany believed that as long as they could hug the golden thigh of the He name, they would be able to add new management talents in the future.
He Yue Jin had the appearance of a victor, as if to say, see, this was the consequence of provoking him!
Did he really think that he would be afraid of an immature and inexperienced boy?!
Just by moving his fingers, he could make an innocent man and woman lose their jobs as easily as killing an ant.
Now, go break up with your little lover, he ordered ruthlessly.
Chapter 64 - Sons Opposing the Father
Chapter 64 - Sons Opposing the Father
He Cheng Ming suppressed his anger and looked at He Yue Jin with eyes that gradually grew colder. Then his lips curved into a sharp smile and he left, mming the door.
That condescending attitude made He Yue Jin so angry that he took the documents on his table and threw it in the direction of the door, causing the papers to be scattered all over the ground.
The thought of the chilly look in his sons eyes from earlier made him feel tense. Although He Yue Jin was angry, he could not ignore the unexpectedness of the matter. He was worthy of the He family, being not only intelligent but also courageous, and would be a very capable person in future.
But this also strengthened his resolve not to let He Cheng Ming make mistakes.
After dealing with the younger son, the next one was the elder son who had been ying tricks right under his nose.
He dialled He Mu Shengs number.
When He Cheng Ming returned to the room, Ji Liaos heart finally settled after half an hour of uneasiness. He went up and asked, Are you okay?
He Cheng Ming replied, Im okay.
Seeing that the other boy still looked nervous, he hugged him from behind and bent to kiss his face, adding, Dont think about it.
He didnt want Ji Liao to have any worries. He would resolve any problems as long as Ji Liao remained by his side.
But...
Ji Liao turned his head to look at He Cheng Mings expression. He felt insecure and unreasonably flustered.
Theres no but. Trust me.
With that, He Cheng Ming covered Ji Liaos mouth, his agile tongue prying his teeth apart, not wanting to hear him say anything else. He would protect him. There were no buts.
Ji Liao whimpered and his head was twisted to the side, forced to kiss the one behind him until his tongue was numb.
His eyes were watery and he also understood that the other boy probably didnt want him to ask further.
If he didnt want him to ask, then he wouldnt.
Ji Liao saw that the p mark on He Cheng Mings face was still obvious and pulled him to sit on the sofa. Earlier, he had requested for the service staff to boil two eggs. Now it was still warming in the thermos sk waiting for him toe back.
Ji Liao went over to pick up the eggs and carefully peeled them, then rolled the warm white eggs around on He Cheng Mings face.
He Cheng Mings heart warmed. Ji Liao had remembered and was concerned about the injury on his face. He suddenly felt that it was slightly ironic. He Yue Jin had just talked to him for so long but didnt even ask about it.
Baby. His voice was slightly hoarse and he hugged Ji Liao bonelessly.
After being given such a big hug, Ji Liaos expression was muddled. With the eggs still in hand, he asked, puzzled, Huh? Whats the matter?
He waited for a while without receiving a reply and thinking that the boy was just taking advantage of him, he berated him, Dont touch. Apply it for a while so the redness will fade more quickly.
Ji Liao had no choice but to help him roll the eggs on his face. Who knew that this person really had no proper conduct, getting close and teasing him from time to time, making him a little distracted.
The eggs were almost cool so Ji Liao threw them onto the table. He ced both hands on the other boys shoulders and knelt on the sofa, staring down at him.
He Cheng Ming looked up slightly and saw that Ji Liaos eyes couldnt hide a surprising radiance. His kneeling motion had been really fucking intense and it had made him hard! He Cheng Ming stuck out his tongue and pointed to his own mouth with an index finger, wanting a kiss.
Ji Liao was stirred by this seductive appearance and his head heated up. He lowered himself and kissed him.
He Cheng Ming couldnt resist the initiative of the boy and instantly reacted, wishing he could consume him.
In the evening, they went out for a meal, then spent another night on the ferry. The next day, they got off and ended their May Day trip.
Xu Ai Wen and the others came backter. Ji Liao opened the door for them and thoughtfully took the suitcases off Meng Yao Yaos hands, hearing her gasp, Its so tiring to go out and y!
But she was also very happy! She bought many things and even gifts for Ji Liao!
At the first opportunity, Meng Yao Yao rushed to the kitchen for a drink of water. Then Xu Ai Wen came in and asked her to go to the living room to rest and she quickly prepared a meal.
Previously, the Meng family had a nanny who specialised in cooking. Only after Xu Ai Wen married into the family did they no longer hire the nanny and she took on the responsibility of cooking voluntarily. She was still very traditional and felt that men should be masters outside the house, while women should be masters within.
Thanks for the trouble, Auntie. Ill ask Dad to help you! Meng Yao Yao said sensibly.
She didnt call Xu Ai Wen Mom, just like Ji Liao didnt call Meng Yuan Dad. Both of them maintained the use of the same honorifics as before.
After Meng Yao Yao went out, Meng Yuan walked in after settling the suitcases. Seeing Xu Ai Wen so busy, he was slightly reluctant to see her so hard at work.
How about if you dont report to the newpany? I can afford to support you and Ji Liao.
In the midst of washing the rice, Xu Ai Wens hands stopped and she replied, Lets see.
The two of them received a phone call from theirpanys HR department yesterday informing them that they had been dismissed on the grounds of having an office romance. In actuality, thepany had not explicitly prohibited office romances. After a few more questions, the HR personnel informed them that it was the directive of the boss. Compensations would be given and they didnt have to return after the holiday.
Shortly after, a job invitation from the He group appeared in Meng Yuans email inbox. Moreover, the number of people invited was two, meaning him and Xu Ai Wen. He thought that it was very strange but after checking, he found that the email was really sent by the He group.
Meng Yuan was the backbone of the team in his previouspany. Years of experience in the workce told him it was likely the sudden dismissal was because he and Xu Ai Wen had offended someone who made their previouspany give him up. It was obvious that the other party was very influential.
He had received the invitation from the He group for some reason, which made him wonder if it was a trap.
The phone suddenly sounded and it was from an unsaved number.
Meng Yuan went outside to answer it and heard the other side introducing himself, Hi, Im He Mu Sheng, the general manager of the He group.
He Mu Sheng was a famous name that he had heard of, but he didnt know why the man was calling him.
Its like this. Yesterday afternoon at four-thirty, I asked the HR personnel to send a job invitation to Mr Meng. I wonder if Mr Meng has checked his email?
He Mu Sheng held his phone, ncing at He Cheng Ming who was staring at him nearby and patiently went on, Mr Meng, you dont have to overthink it. The He group sincerely invites you to join thepany, not just for my brother but because your professional ability is obvious to all within the circle. If there are any requests, you can bring it up. The He group will not treat you badly.
When Meng Yuan heard this, he vaguely understood what was going on and asked, Your brother?
He Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said three words, He Cheng Ming.
Right then, it had all be clear to Meng Yuan, who was secretly startled that He Cheng Ming was He Yue Jins son. It was inevitable for him to worry about Ji Liao. Although he wasnt his real son, Xu Ai Wen married him and the responsibility was on his shoulders.
After a long silence, Meng Yuan said, Ill think about it.
He had figured the whole thing out. Obviously, it meant that He Yue Jin had gotten him and Xu Ai Wen fired. The reason for doing so was probably because He Yue Jin had found out about the rtionship between the two kids.
Now, He Mu Sheng had invited him and seemed to be taking He Cheng Mings side, wanting to oppose He Yue Jin.
There was only one reason for sons opposing the father to seize the throne.
Meng Yuan merely thought of this and felt apprehensive. Sure enough, still waters run deep in rich and powerful families!
Chapter 65 - Did You Guys Quarrel?
Chapter 65 - Did You Guys Quarrel?
He Mu Sheng replied in one word, Okay. Then he hung up the phone and threw it on the table.
He wasnt worried that Meng Yuan would refuse. After all, the He group was the best in the industry. There were countless people who wanted the connection but were never able to get it, so any man with even a little ambition wouldnt miss this opportunity.
He Cheng Ming heaved a sigh of relief. He had to resolve the issue of Meng Yuan and Xu Ai Wens jobs well or he wouldnt be able to exin it to Ji Liao.
Thanks, bro. He said to He Mu Sheng.
It was strange that in the He family, the two people with blood rtions to him were making trouble for him whereas the half-brother in front of him was willing to stand sincerely beside him.
No need to thank me. Just dont forget our agreement. He Mu Shengs tone was light.
Half an hour ago, the boy had called to invite him for a meal. After he came over, he had been asked to deal with the Meng Yuan issue before he had even warmed the chair. If not for the agreement between them, he wouldnt have had the time for this. Moreover, he was a businessman, not a phnthropist, and only did things that were beneficial.
He Mu Sheng was now free and picked up his chopsticks with clean fingers. He looked at the dishes on the table, picked up a thin slice of lotus root and put it into his mouth, chewing gracefully.
I remember. He Cheng Ming reclined casually against his chair while replying indifferently.
The two of them had previously made a verbal agreement that he would unconditionally transfer all of whatever assets he might get from He Yue Jin to him.
This was the reason He Mu Sheng was willing to help.
But arent you afraid that I wouldnt acknowledge the agreement when its time?
After all, it was just verbal and there wasnt any ck and white contract.
He Mu Sheng nced at him and said expressionlessly, All your wealth is in my ount. Why should I be afraid?
He Cheng Ming snorted and continued to tease him, In case Dad doesnt open his eyes and hands over thepany directly to me, it wouldnt be worth just that.
He used to specte in stocks and in order to avoid Zhao Mei Lans surveince, he had borrowed He Mu Shengs ount. Now, all the money was also with him. Butpared to the shares of the He group, it was just a drop in the ocean.
He Mu Sheng frowned and not wanting the boy to be so cocky, he said coldly, Eat more and talk less.
He Cheng Ming smiled. In fact, he knew that his brother really wanted to help him, just that he had too many restrictions and needed a reasonable excuse.
Compared to him, He Mu Shengs responsibilities were much more.
By the way, hows thepany now?
It wasnt a simple matter to bring down He Yue Jin.
He cant touch me. He Mu Sheng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
He Yue Jin had already called him impatiently yesterday to teach him a lesson but it would be impossible for the man to dismiss him.
When He Yue Jin had first married his mother, he used fifteen percent of the He group shares as dowry. When they divorced, his mother was afraid that he would be pushed aside by Zhao Mei Lans son, He Cheng Ming, and transferred all her shares to him before leaving.
In addition, he had married his current wife, Jiang Qi, a year ago. Her father was the secondrgest shareholder of the He group, holding thirty percent of the He group shares. As long as his father-inw protected him on the board of directors, their shares added up to three percent more than He Yue Jins.
So now, the person that was really in charge of the He group was actually him.
Besides, there were only two in the He family him and He Cheng Ming. If He Yue Jin was a little cleverer, he would give up his position voluntarily to save He Mu Sheng the trouble of forcing him to step down.
Tut.
After hearing his analysis, He Cheng Ming immediately felt that there was a bright future ahead. He didnt ask for much and wasnt interested in taking over anypany. He only wanted to asionally specte in stocks, earn a little money and live a good life with Ji Liao.
The Meng family was having a meal.
Meng Yuan hadnt told Xu Ai Wen about it. Instead, he went to talk to Ji Liao after the meal.
Seeing that it seemed like the boy already knew about He Cheng Mings identity, he didnt say much more and just reminded him, Still waters run deep in rich and powerful families. If you cant handle it, you can leave.
At first, Ji Liao didnt understand until Meng Yuan told him about being fired and hired. Ji Liao was shocked and said, Then my mom...
He was afraid that Xu Ai Wen would reject He Cheng Ming even more.
Dont worry, I didnt tell your mom. Meng Yuan said.
He didnt treat Ji Liao like a child. He was seventeen years old and would soon be an adult. Boys had the responsibility of boys and he respected Ji Liaos choice to remain with He Cheng Ming even after knowing of the dangerous situation.
Thank you, Uncle Meng. Ji Liao thanked softly.
He was a little angry with He Cheng Ming. There had clearly been a situation about his family and the other boy had kept it from him. This feeling of not knowing anything was disappointing. He wasnt a canary and didnt want to be one.
Their social sses were different but they were equals in their rtionship. He didnt want this kind of self-righteous protection.
Ji Liao, quick,e see the gift that big sis bought for you! Meng Yao Yao called out to him from the room.
The two of them had been getting to know each other for some time and became quite close. Just that Ji Liao found the calling of herself big sis slightly uneptable. It felt like a challenge to the dignity of his manhood.
He walked to Meng Yao Yaos room and saw that her room was in a mess. Clothes were piled on the bed and bags of snacks on the desk, which was slightly inconceivable.
Look at this bright and beautiful girl. Was she like this in private?!
Meng Yao Yao took out a gift box from the suitcase and gave it to him. Seeing his surprise, she warned, Youre not allowed to speak ill of me in school. My perfect school flower image must be maintained!
Ji Liao chuckled, received the gift and hummed.
Right then, Meng Yao Yao noticed that he was wearing a ring! She was ted and said with a wry smile, Did He Cheng Ming give you that? Are the two of you wearing couple rings?!
And she hadnt found herself a partner yet!
It was a tragedy of life.
Ji Liao looked at his right hand and was a little embarrassed but didnt deny it and nodded.
With a wail, Meng Yao Yao flung herself onto the bed and rolled around twice to express her envy.
Thanks for the gift. Im going off, okay? Ji Liao asked.
Go, go. Anyway, Im already dead. Meng Yao Yao replied him.
Ji Liao didnt understand what that meant. Most of the time, he couldnt understand what Meng Yao Yao and Xu Xiao Jing said, always feeling that it was strange.
Back in his room, he looked at his bony finger again. The ring on it was really eye-catching, so he took it off and found a red string to put through it, then hung it on his neck before tucking it behind his shirt.
The next day at school, He Cheng Ming immediately noticed that the ring on his hand was missing and asked nervously, Wheres your ring?
Ji Liao pulled out the red string around his neck to show it was hanging there.
He Cheng Ming was relieved but felt a little dissatisfied andined, Why arent you wearing it?
It had scared him to death, thinking something had happened to make the other boy regret.
Ji Liao stopped and turned to ask him, Are you hiding anything from me?
His expression was unhappy and the serious look in his eyes was rare. It made He Cheng Mings heart tense and his mind nk. Like what?
He thought he no longer had any secrets from the other boy. For a while, he didnt know what he had hidden.
Seeing that he wasnt saying anything, Ji Liao turned sullenly and walked away.
He Cheng Ming was confused and thought that Ji Liao was, for the most part, acting out. He didnt take it seriously and coaxed enticingly, Baby, how about a hint? What did hubby do wrong?
Hispletely improper expression made Ji Liao more suspicious. Did he really treat him like a canary?
With just some coaxing, was he supposed to obey?
Ji Liao walked silently toward his ssroom, ignoring the person behind him.
It wasnt until the whole morning had vaguely passed that He Cheng Ming had managed to figure out something was wrong. He sent Ji Liao a message but he didnt reply. So, school bully He was grumpy inside the ssroom and all his ssmates in ss two stayed away, knowing that he was in a bad mood.
Seeing this, Lin Jiang swallowed and secretly sent a message to Ji Liao: Ming Ge is in a bad mood today. Did you guys quarrel?
Ji Liao replied to him: Yes
Lin Jiangs heart trembled and decided that today, he would behave by tucking his tail between his legs or shrink into his shell like a turtle.
However, before he could shrink, his phone was snatched away by someone. He turned to see his Ming Ge and pressed his lips together.
He Cheng Ming stared angrily at Ji Liaos reply of yes. He wasnt replying to him but he replied to Lin Jiang!
He returned to his seat and leaned back, lifting his long legs onto the table with an aura of whoever dares to fucking disturb me is dead.
After a thought, he used Lin Jiangs phone to send to Ji Liao: Why are you quarrelling?
He felt puzzled. It was still fine this morning. Wrong, it wasnt fine this morning and Ji Liao had asked whether he was hiding something.
By then, Ji Liao had already replied: Hes hiding something from me.
He was right! Just that He Cheng Ming still didnt know what he was hiding from him.
Again, he quickly imitated Lin Jiangs tone when he typed: Ming Ge couldnt be lying to you! Youre his darling, why would he lie to you?! You must have misunderstood. Please reply to his WeChat. Hes very anxious!
Over in ss twelve, Ji Liao looked at this long message and exited repeatedly. After confirming that it was Lin Jiangs WeChat, his face heated up.
Had Lin Jiang been mixing with He Cheng Ming for such a long time that even his tone had be simr to his?
He was deciding how to reply when there was another message from Lin Jiangs WeChat: I think you guys should talk about it.
Ji Liao typed and deleted, in the end replying with just one word: Okay.
When He Cheng Ming saw this reply, his face, originally covered with dark clouds, finally showed a little sunshine. Before returning the phone to Lin Jiang, he deleted all the messages that he had just sent.
Then, he rushed out of ss two and went to look for Ji Liao to talk.
Just as the figure appeared in the window of ss twelve, Xu Xiao Jings sharp eyes saw it and she turned to tap on Ji Liaos shoulder.
Ji Liao looked up from his textbook, saw the person outside the window and got up to walk outside.
He Cheng Ming immediately hugged him and apologised, Im sorry. Just tell me if you have anyints. Dont torment me like this, okay?
When he was running over, the things that he had been hiding from the other boy came to him and all of it poured out, Is it about me leaving home? Or the stock spection? Or about your mom getting fired?
Ji Liaos face was full of surprise, not expecting to catch so many things with one hook!
You left home? He picked the one he was most concerned about and questioned.
Chapter 66 - Seemed Like School Bully He Was Being Disciplined?
Chapter 66 - Seemed Like School Bully He Was Being Disciplined?
He Cheng Ming touched the tip of his nose and regretted it instantly. So it wasnt that.
Looking at Ji Liao, he didnt really know how to exin his leaving home.
Because the He family looked bright and neat but was actually rotten inside? He had already survived through the past suffering and pain and didnt want to bring it up again. It was meaningless to talk about and it would only add to the other boys heartache.
He Cheng Ming pulled away from Ji Liao slightly and attempted to stealthily change the concept, Yes, I moved out long ago. Havent you been there?
Hearing this, Ji Liao frowned and pushed him away. Is that the same thing?
Trying to fool him again! Was he really that stupid?!
Ji Liaos voice had risen unconsciously due to anger.
The students of ss twelve were very gossipy and they rushed to the windows straining to hear even a faint sound.
Seemed like school bully He was being disciplined?!
Fuck, this news was shocking. It spread from one person to the next and quickly becamemon knowledge to the entire level.
The number of onlookers in the corridor grew. He Cheng Ming was irritated by being stared at and turned to deliver a sweeping nce. Everyone immediately scattered in all directions and returned to their ssrooms.
Ji Liao was a little unhappy when he saw this. It was obviously a private matter between the two of them. Just because the other boys fame was like that of a celebrity, a small issue would get everyone abuzz.
Knowing that the other boy needed to maintain his dignity, he didnt rush to pursue the matter, only saying softly, You always hide everything from me so I feel like I dont know you at all.
He didnt know anything about the things he had mentioned earlier, like leaving home and stock spection.
As if he was being isted from his world.
It hadnt urred to He Cheng Ming that his protection was actually a barrier in Ji Liaos eyes. He thought it was for Ji Liaos benefit so he had hidden it from him.
Im sorry, baby. I was wrong. Forgive me this once, okay?
No matter how many pairs of eyes were watching, he was willing to assume the lowest position in front of Ji Liao. He wanted everyone to know that Ji Liao was the person in his heart.
Forget it. You can talk to me again tonight.
In this situation, they couldnt discuss it further.
Then you cant ignore my messages.
He Cheng Ming held his hand and after waiting for Ji Liao to nod, he quickly kissed him to show his happiness.
This move sessfully made ss twelve boil over with excitement! There were undisguised screams and cheers, which brought the director out of the office shouting at them, Whats happening in ss twelve?! Screaming for no reason! A bunch of brats!
Ji Liaos face was red with shame. Before the director came over, he dodged into the ssroom.
After entering the ssroom, all his ssmates eyed him as if they were looking at test answers, their eyes shining.
Since Chen Li Wen had a better rtionship with him, he joked, Well done, Ji Liao. He Cheng Ming has been disciplined!
In his eyes, Ji Liao had a dull personality and was a good person. Being with He Cheng Ming surely meant that he would be bullied. Unexpectedly, he had been enlightened today. It was the first time he had seen school bully He with such a humble attitude.
Whats so impressive? Cuddling in public, something to be proud of?
A disdainful female voice was suddenly heard. Chen Li Wen turned and seeing Lin Jia Sui with a scornful look on her pretty face, wanted to roll up his sleeves to hit her. Damn, was this girl sick? Couldnt bear to see people happy?
Ji Liao looked up and retorted, Werent you also peeping enthusiastically?
If he remembered correctly, Lin Jia Sui was among the group of people earlier at the window.
Lin Jia Sui bit her lip, unwilling to submit. Who was peeping?! I, I was looking openly!
Ji Liaoughed. Looking opening at me cuddling? Then you must have been quite envious, right?
The anger in his heart had not dissipated and this person had to sh with him.
You! Being painfully jabbed at, Lin Jia Sui was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
In this school, was there a girl who didnt like He Cheng Ming? Besides being handsome and rich, his results were also good. Whoever saw him wanted to call him Ming Ge. Being able to date such a person was every girls dream!
It was a pity that he was gay.
You just rely on He Cheng Ming. What do you call yourself?!
Lin Jia Sui couldnt bear the sight of Ji Liao and felt that he didnt have any abilities. The improvement in his studies was due to He Cheng Ming teaching him. People like Xu Xiao Jing and Cheng Li Wen who were willing to stand up for him, werent they just doing it to get on He Cheng Mings good side?
If that wasnt the case, why werent they close to Ji Liao during the first year and only quickly form a group with him in the second year?!
So what if I rely on him? Even if you want to, can you?! Ji Liao threw his book onto the table and became really angry.
His jaw tight, he looked coldly at the girl in front of him. Just because he hadnt gotten angry once or twice, everyone thought he was easily bullied.
Lin Jia Sui was so angry that she trembled and pointed a finger at him. She was about to say something when Xu Xiao Jing interrupted loudly.
Thats right! Even if you want to, can you?! He Cheng Ming isnt willing to even look at you. If you have this kind of time to envy others, how about you work on more problems, oh great monitor.
Xu Xiao Jing felt that Ji Liaos dislike was really invigorating and immediately chimed in, not giving the other girl a chance to exin.
Lin Jia Sui was speechless and looked around at her ssmates for help but all of them avoided her eyes. Was there no one willing to stand up to help her?!
Lin Jia Sui felt sad that she didnt have one good friend in this ss. Even the girl who used to be her best friend had alienated her because she had been previously warned by He Cheng Ming.
Actually, that girl had discovered her bad temper and realised that the other girl couldnt bear to see other people happy. She had topare everything and only when others were worse off than her would she feel happy. If they were better off than her, she had to belittle them.
The girl had felt tired associating with her so stopped the interactions as time went by.
Compared with the hostilities in ss twelve, ss two was much happier.
He Cheng Ming was obviously in a good mood when he got back. As it turned out, Ji Liao only wanted to understand more about him. So he no longer had a dark expression on his face, was more at ease and the chair no longer pressed painfully against his butt as he sat.
A student in his ss looked and saw that the school bully was sunny again. He couldnt help teasing, Ming Ge, managed to sweet-talk your wife?!
He Cheng Ming grabbed a book off the table and swung it toward him. The boy dodged it quickly andughed. Thank you for your mercy, Ming Ge!
If the other boy really wanted to hit him, he wouldnt be able to avoid it. Being able to dodge it meant that it was just for show and that he wasnt really angry.
Beside him, Lin Jiang frowned deeply. What was the matter with him? Was it possible that anger was infectious?
After getting his phone back from He Cheng Ming, Li Si Ran had been ignoring him. They had been fine earlier with good mornings and kisses. Now all of a sudden, there was no news?
Lin Jiang felt a little uneasy. He walked outside to call Li Si Ran.
He called three times in a row but the line was busy.
It was a school day and not a holiday. Who was she talking to for so long?!
Lin Jiang leaned against the railing in doubt. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw through the door of ss one that the phone on Gu Ming Rens desk was lit. It seemed like he was also making a phone call? But he didnt seem to be listening at all, just leaving his phone there and letting the person on the other side continue talking.
Like some sort of telepathy, Gu Ming Ren suddenly lifted his head and his gaze collided with Lin Jiang who was in the corridor. Lin Jiang startled and immediately turned his head away as if with a guilty conscience.
Right then, Gu Ming Ren heard Li Si Ran asking him from the phone, Hahaha Gu Shao, do you think this joke is funny?
With an expressionless face, he decisively ended the call.
When he looked up again, Lin Jiang was gone.
Near him, a girl asked shyly, Gu Ming Ren, the girl who just called you, is that your girlfriend?
Gu Ming Ren answered her with a deadpan expression. No.
That was his love rival.
Nevertheless, the news spread quickly.
There were only two male gods in their level. One of them, He Cheng Ming, had already openlye out with a partner. The other, Gu Ming Ren, had naturally be the target of girls yearning for love.
Although he had denied a rtionship, there was a reason a rumour was called a rumour it wasnt based on any facts. By word of mouth, details were added and a new story was created out of thin air.
This new story reached Lin Jiangs ears.
At this point, Lin Jiang and Li Si Ran were back in touch. She said that something had happened at home and her grandpa was ill. She had been on the phone with her mother.
Lin Jiang knew her family environment wasnt good, if not she wouldnt be working at that kind of ce.
The first time he met Li Si Ran was in a bar. It was a friends birthday and the party was held at that bar.
Li Si Ran was a new hostess so during her first time at work, many businesses werent familiar with her. She kept making mistakes, even spilling wine onto Lin Jiang.
At that time, she was wearing a very low-cut outfit. Her chest was white and round, making Lin Jiangs nose almost bleed.
But she had self-respect and kept covering herself with a hand, her behaviour not as frivolous as the other girls. Later, after asking the owner of the bar, Lin Jiang found out that Li Si Ran was from the county. She hade to the city to study and was short of money.
Lin Jiang wasntcking in money but he was a big spender and didnt have much savings. So he had to transfer the ten thousand yuan of pocket money, which his mother had just given to him, to Li Si Rans WeChat.
Li Si Ran was lying on her bed and when she saw this transfer, was immediately awake and let out an exmation, quickly epting the money.
As expected, he was a rich second generation, a foolish guy with a lot of money.
She sent Lin Jiang a voice message and choking with emotion, she said, Thank you, Ah Jiang. Dont worry, Ill return it to you in the future.
With his straight guy mentality, Lin Jiang showed off with his reply: No need. Its just a little money. Its what I should do.
Then followed up with moreforting words. That money could be considered to be gone.
From the next table, the boy was still gossiping with him. Gu Ming Rens girlfriend should be very beautiful, right? Big-breasted and long legs? From which school? Lin Jiang, give me a break!
Lin Jiang immediately shouted at him, Why are you so gossipy?! Why should you care whether they are beautiful or not, or if they are male?! And you have toe and ask me. I cant even fucking hide from him in time every day. Who knows who his girlfriend is?!
He didnt know why he became especially angry the moment he heard Gu Ming Rens name.
The boy was puzzled. What do you mean if they are male? Dont tell me hes also gay? That isnt right. The one on the phone was obviously a girl.
Then he changed the subject. Hey, why are you hiding from Gu Ming Ren?!
Lin Jiang gritted his teeth. None of your business!
Chapter 67 - Was It Like, or a Desire to Cause Mischief
Chapter 67 - Was It Like, or a Desire to Cause Mischief
Later, Ji Liao packed his textbooks and saw the youth waiting for him outside his ssroom. He grabbed his schoolbag, threw it onto his shoulder and ran out. He Cheng Ming was leaning on the railing when he saw Ji Liaoe out and unconsciously lifted the corner of his lips.
They had been together for some time but his enthusiasm had not changed at all.
While going down the stairs, Ji Liao turned to ask him, Did you leave home because of me? He really didnt know what the situation was with the other boy and had been having wild thoughts all afternoon, getting more afraid the more he thought about it.
He Cheng Ming stuffed both hands into his pants pocket and without much of an expression, replied, Not entirely.
He paused and they exited the staircase with a turn. At that time, the glow of the setting sun was warm on their bodies. When the follow-up didnte after a long time, Ji Liao turned his head to look at the person beside him only to see He Cheng Ming looking into the distance, his pursed lips moving slightly.
My parents are too rational and only want power, not a son.
They only gave him material satisfaction without any feelings and spirit, just to cultivate a standard sessor.
He Cheng Ming carefully thought about his past seventeen years. Before he met Ji Liao, he had never noticed the problem and lived ordingly to Zhao Mei Lans careful ns. It wasnt until his heart had beat intensely did he realise that every day could be meaningful.
He began to look forward to going to the construction site with Zhao Mei Lan, gazing at Ji Liao, watching his brilliant smile in the dazzling sunlight and his white legs swinging on the rock he sat on.
He had a shameful reaction and became even more involved. If it wasnt for the subsequent incident and Zhao Mei Lan forcing him to be ruthless, he might not have consciously nned his revolt step by step until today, with the boy in his heart.
A few words summarised that he wasnt happy in that family.
Although Ji Liao didnt know what had happened, he was acutely aware that the other boy didnt want to talk about it further, showing that it wasnt anything good.
He suddenly reached out to grab He Cheng Mings sleeve, stopping to look at him. Then do you still have money?
Since the other boy had left home, it meant that he must have had a fierce disagreement with his family. He Yue Jin and Zhao Mei Lan both looked like they were not to be trifled with. Would they have cut off his card?
After all, that was the way it always happened on television. If a rich family member was out of line, they would have to ept the punishment of card suspension.
Ji Liao fished in his pockets and found over ten yuan of change. There was some more money at home. He blinked at He Cheng Ming and looked a little embarrassed. The money was too little to take out.
Why, do you want to take care of me? He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows andughed silently.
His darling really loved him dearly.
Was your money really cut off? Ji Liao couldnt imagine it. His mouth was slightly open, thinking that television shows were just dramatized!
He Cheng Ming saw his shocked expression and found it amusing. He liked that Ji Liao was worried about him and took care of him.
Yes, so Im very poor now, He Cheng Ming said with distress and reached out to lift Ji Liaos chin, closing his mouth.
Then he tried to sell his misery. Please treat me to dinner, baby. Ive already been eating instant noodles for a few days.
It was true that he had been eating instant noodles for a few days but because he had been toozy to cook.
This made Ji Liaos heart ache but looking at his palm, he only had some money which couldnt really buy any good food.
Why dont youe home with me? He said tentatively.
This unexpected surprise caught He Cheng Ming off guard.
His mind spun. Meng Yuan probably had not yet reported to the He group today so the lies would not constitute a danger.
He hesitated, then asked, Wouldnt your mom say something?
Actually, Ji Liao wasnt sure. He told him to wait for a moment, then went aside to call Xu Ai Wen. When she answered, he only said that he was bringing a friend back and asked her to cook more rice.
Xu Ai Wen knew something wasnt right when she heard, and asked sharply, Which friend? Ever since he started dating, she didnt know Ji Liao had made any new friends.
Boy, boyfriend.
Ji Liao stammered and felt embarrassed but added, He came out from his house without money. Xu Ai Wen was silent for a while, then answered, Okay.
She hung up the phone and thought to herself, that was said very tactfully. What diding out of his house mean? Wasnt that just being chased out? If that wasnt it, then he had left home.
There had probably been a huge argument.
Xu Ai Wen had all along disagreed with Ji Liao being with He Cheng Ming and always felt that they were just ying around but they were very serious. Like now, what was the advantage of falling out with his family? None at all. He couldnt even afford to eat.
But she wasnt willing to force Ji Liao to break up. In any case, she loved him dearly and wanted to express that.
Meng Yao Yao was the first toe back. After putting her schoolbag in the room, she ran to the kitchen to see what Xu Ai Wen had cooked. As soon as she entered, she could smell the fragrance making her salivate.
Xu Ai Wen had made a pot of stewed duck in beer. Seeing Meng Yao Yao staring at it, she picked up a piece and put it into her mouth to try.
Meng Yao Yao chewed twice and her eyes brightened. She nodded vigorously and said, This is delicious! She couldnt help but sigh and felt that her dad had a really good eye. He had found her a stepmother with not just graceful manners but also great culinary skills!
Xu Ai Wen smiled happily and scratched the girls nose affectionately. Such a sweet-talker!
She had gotten a daughter for no reason, found that a daughter was still better and knew how to make her happy. Her son was stiff and had no joys in life.
After a while, Ji Liao came back with He Cheng Ming.
Meng Yao Yao gave an exmation of surprise and said jokingly, No wonder Auntie Xu has made stewed duck in beer today. The son-inw is here.
Ji Liao red at her and turned to ask He Cheng Ming, Do you want to watch television? We wouldnt be eating so early.
He Cheng Ming first went to the kitchen to greet Xu Ai Wen and said, Auntie, sorry to trouble you. Then he went to sit on the sofa.
Ji Liao turned on the television for him and Meng Yao Yao joined them.
When Xu Ai Wen brought out the dishes of food, it felt vaguely like she had three children, all about the same age!
Shortly after, Meng Yuan also came back. He was surprised to see He Cheng Ming when he came in.
He Cheng Ming called out to him, Uncle Meng.
Meng Yuan nodded and thinking of the He groups invitation still lying in his inbox, decided to talk to Xu Ai Wen about it that night.
Dinner was sumptuous and He Cheng Ming sang praises, eating two bowls in a row. Ji Liao thought that he must have been starving and was worried and anxious. He thought about what to do in the future and how the other boy would survive.
After dinner, Ji Liao went to his room, took his savings and hid them in his pocket.
When he came out, he found He Cheng Ming apologizing to Xu Ai Wen and Meng Yuan, and that their termination was because of him.
Having just found out about this matter, Xu Ai Wen looked at Meng Yuan angrily. It scared Meng Yuan into exining hurriedly, I nned to talk to you about it tonight. Seeing this, Ji Liao walked over quickly and stood beside He Cheng Ming, wanting to bear the burden with him.
Xu Ai Wen looked at the two children waiting to be scolded and her temper evaporated at once. She looked searchingly at He Cheng Ming and felt slightly moved. This was He Yue Jins son and would surely be a top-notch figure in the future. Now, for her son, he couldnt even afford to eat. Was it worth it?
She didnt think it was worth it but the other boy did.
Maybe it was due to youth and ignorance, or maybe true love was invincible...
Who knows.
The situation had already reached this point so Xu Ai Wen didnt say anything and just let Ji Liao send him downstairs.
Ji Liao sent He Cheng Ming to the gate of themunity then gave him the money that was in his pocket. He Cheng Ming was stunned and about to exin when Ji Liao spoke first. If you dont take it, I wont bring you breakfast tomorrow.
Being brought breakfast was a privilege, so he swallowed the truth, feeling moved and guilty at the same time while he bent over to kiss him.
Ji Liao was very cooperative and opened his mouth slightly. His agile tongue slipped in and tangled with the other boys ceaselessly.
After a long time, He Cheng Ming parted from Ji Liaos moist lips and held him in his arms.
Baby. His voice was a little hoarse and he wanted to keep holding him like this.
But Ji Liao kept thinking about his homework and urged, You should go.
He Cheng Ming bit his mouth again making Ji Liaough. He broke away from him and asked him to go off quickly.
At night, Ji Liaoy on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He wasnt someone who took things as they came. He would think and consider a lot. Even now, he had begun to worry about He Cheng Mings future school fees. If both of them worked, could they afford it?
How about food? And other things?
Ji Liao felt like his brain was about to explode and he didnt sleep well that night.
For the next few days, he brought breakfast for He Cheng Ming and ate lunch with him. The other boy enjoyed it overtly and waspletely immersed in the lie that he had weaved. Until Meng Yuan went to work at the He group and came back to jokingly ask Ji Liao to inquire about which stock He Cheng Ming had bought recently.
Ji Liao hissed, He doesnt have the money.
Previously, the other boy had mentioned stock spection. He remembered during the new yearst year, He Cheng Ming had attempted to give him a card. That had probably been a personal card which had not been frozen. But he still had no money so Ji Liao had naturally assumed that he had lost it during stock spection.
After all, it was Ji Liaos impression that the term was often apanied by bad things such as jumping off buildings and unemployment.
Meng Yuan looked at him in a manner one would employ to look at a silly child. He didnt tell you hes now a millionaire?
After Meng Yuan joined the He group, he became He Mu Shengspetent right-hand man. In addition, he had started to manage the ount which had been specially opened for He Cheng Ming to specte in stocks. The numbers in the ount made him, a man who was almost forty, feel ashamed.
Ji Liao was confused and his face turned serious.
Only then did Meng Yuan realise that something was wrong. Feeling that he had revealed some secret, he walked away quietly.
Uncle Meng, so hes very rich?
Meng Yuan stopped. It seemed that it was toote to take it back so he just nodded.
Ji Liaos expression froze. He felt like a fool, not knowing that he had been duped.
He was angry but couldnt find a ce to vent. His eyes were red with anger and he felt more aggrieved the more he thought about it. He couldnt sleep well and it was all because of something he had said. In the end, it was a lie.
Was he being respected?
Was it like, or a desire to cause mischief?
He was confused. His phone kept ringing and the other boy sent him countless messages.
Ji Liao looked coldly at the words jumping out at him but he didnt know which words were true and which were false.
He turned off his phone. What the eye doesnt see, the heart doesnt grieve over.
Chapter 68 - He Really was the Best Damn Brother in China!
Chapter 68 - He Really was the Best Damn Brother in China!
The next day, he left with Meng Yao Yao.
Ever since he moved in with the Meng family, he stopped letting He Cheng Ming pick him up as it was very pretentious.
Last night, it had rained heavily and the sky was blue and clear; even the air was fresh.
Meng Yao Yao walked with a small skip. She looked at Ji Liao who had his head down, seeming to be deep in thought, and she couldnt help asking, Whats wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood.
Ji Liao reluctantly tried to lift his spirits and took two deep breaths. Nothing much.
Meng Yao Yao shrugged and seeing the bus approaching slowly, she pulled Ji Liao along to board the bus together.
The two of them sat in a double seat.
Meng Yao Yao turned her head to look at the person beside her, feeling that there really was a problem today! Normally, he didnt want to sit with her saying that he was afraid of being misunderstood.
Come on, he was gay. What was there to misunderstand?!
But watching his thoughts drifting, Meng Yao Yao had to wonder if maybe he hadnt noticed that he was sitting beside her.
She stretched out her five fingers and waved them in front of Ji Liao.
Ji Liao recovered and looked at her stupidly. What?
Meng Yao Yao touched her chin and spected, You dont seem quite right today. Did you quarrel with He Cheng Ming? Ji Liao froze and thought, was it so obvious?
We didnt quarrel.
It was just a fit of one-sided anger.
That means youre in a bad mood. Want to listen to some music?
With that, Meng Yao Yao took out her earphones and handed one to Ji Liao. Ji Liao waved and refused.
It was too questionable for the two of them to share a pair of earphones.
Meng Yao Yao immediately looked at him with an expression of what kind of unique, conservative little uke was this. Then took out an earphone double connector and handed him a pair of new earphones, saying, Is this okay?!
It was really difficult being a big sister.
Ji Liao was silent and reached out to take it. If he refused again, it wouldnt be nice.
He lifted his hands to put it into his ears and soon, the deafening percussion mmed into his eardrums, jolting him until he was wide awake!
Ji Liao looked stunned and turned his head to nce at the girl beside him. Seeing her bobbing her head excitedly, he felt like his view of the world had been refreshed. The gentle and cute school flower unexpectedly liked rock and roll. What kind of mysterious matchup was this?!
Ji Liao seldom listened to songs with such a strong rhythm and felt like this song was making him distraught with anxiety. But this was a rare moment during which his thoughts couldnt run wild because he was unable to focus under this type of situation!
After listening to the booming music for a while, Ji Liao gradually got used to it and even felt that it was quite hot.
As soon as he got off the bus, he saw He Cheng Ming leaning against the bus stop sign. He seemed to have already waited for some time.
He Cheng Mings eyes were fixed on Ji Liaos earphones, then following the white cable to Meng Yao Yaos phone, his face suddenly changed.
He hadnt forgotten that Ji Liao used to be straight.
Calmly, he walked over and pulled off the thing that did not belong to Ji Liao, then threw it to Meng Yao Yao.
Meng Yao Yao saw that the situation didnt seem quite right and wrapped up the earphones in fear, then slipped away.
What are you doing? Ji Liao turned to face He Cheng Ming and asked seriously.
What do you think? You already have a boyfriend! He Cheng Ming disyed his jealousy and grabbed his hand in a dissatisfied manner.
Ji Liao wanted to fling his hand away but was held onto even tighter and he frowned deeply. Let go.
I dont want to. He then switched to a hold that inteced their fingers, refusing to release Ji Liaos fingers. Why did you ignore me against night?
His tone sounded very aggrieved.
Ji Liao exerted all his strength to struggle free of him regardless of the pain. His fingers were all red and He Cheng Ming was so distressed by this that he let go for the moment.
Baby. He could sense that the other boy was really angry.
Return me my money. Ji Liao stretched out his hand and did not look like he was in a mood to joke.
He had worked hard to save it and didnt want to give it someone who had swindled him!
Huh?
He Cheng Ming didnt react for a while. When he figured it out, he instantly lost his confidence. Baby.
He wanted to exin but found himself unable to. He had coveted Ji Liaos care, so had lied to him.
Seeing that he didnt have any intention of returning the money to him, Ji Liao turned coldly and left.
He Cheng Ming followed for a distance while begging but Ji Liaos heart seemed to be hardened this time and he refused to forgive him.
Baby, give me another chance.
Ji Liao stopped and turned to look at him. You said that thest time. In the end, you still lied to me.
He had a hurt expression on his face and He Cheng Mings heart broke. He wanted to kiss and hug him and exhaust all the nice words to coax him. But as soon as he got close to him, Ji Liao was repelled and avoided him. He Cheng Ming started to panic and was at a loss on what to do.
Right then, the phone in his pocket started to ring.
Ji Liao took the opportunity to enter his ssroom.
After a morning of lessons, he didnt go for lunch and bought some bread to nibble on. It would be the midterm exams soon and he needed to revise properly. That day, He Cheng Ming didnt look for him again.
Ji Liao felt disappointed and sullenly didnt contact him in turn.
After the phone call, He Cheng Ming rushed to the hospital. In the ward, he saw Zhao Mei Lan on an IV drip.
His heart returned to his chest and he walked over to sit beside her.
Zhao Mei Lan had not woken.
ording to the servant at home, Zhao Mei Lan had been locked at home by He Yue Jin and after a few days of tantrums, she started to fast.
At the same time, He Yue Jin did not return home for a week. Zhao Mei Lan thought that he was freely doing whatever he wanted outside so she left the house wanting to catch him in the act. Unexpectedly, she was chased out of the office and after her loss of prestige, she returned home pitifully but refused to enter the house. By chance, it had rained heavily the previous night so she made herself have to enter the hospital.
He Cheng Ming nced at the woman on the bed. Without her makeup, she was so much more pleasing to the eye.
Although he had previously said that he wanted to cut off the rtionship with her, blood was thicker than water. Zhao Mei Lan was in the hospital and he couldnt really ignore it.
After a short while, Zhao Mei Lans pale lips moved and her eyes opened.
When she saw her son beside her, she cried bitterly. Tears rolled down her face and she looked very pitiful.
He Cheng Ming only felt a headache and pinched the bridge of his nose, then handed her two pieces of tissue paper. He pacified her by saying, Whats the use of crying? Dont cry. Zhao Mei Lans voice was hoarse andined tearfully, Xiao Ming, your father doesnt want me anymore.
Now she had no one by her side except a son.
The more Zhao Mei Lan thought about it, the more her heart ached. She had been with He Yue Jin since she was young and had even given birth to such a good son for him. In the end, she had been reduced to this state. She really regretted the past!
He Cheng Ming helped her up and poured her two sses of water, allowing her to moisten her throat.
Zhao Mei Lan drank two mouthfuls, her eyshes still dripping with tears and asked him softly, Has your father been here? No, he answered truthfully.
Zhao Mei Lan started to cry again, this time until she fainted.
He Cheng Ming rang the bell to call for the doctor, then left the room wanting to call Ji Liao, only to find that his phone was dead.
He returned gloomily and continued to watch over Zhao Mei Lan.
After a while, He Mu Sheng dropped by. He Cheng Ming asked him, The old man cheated? He Mu Shengs expression was cold. Whats so strange about that?
He sat on the armchair nearby. To a certain extent, didnt Zhao Mei Lan also marry into the family after an affair? If he would betray his mother, he would also betray Zhao Mei Lan. It hade full circle.
But the old man has been very busy recently. It wasnt because of his infidelity that he didnt return home.
He Mu Shengs legs were crossed and he meant what he said. He Cheng Ming understood but Zhao Mei Lan couldnt.
She had actually woken up a long time ago. When she heard He Mu Shengs voice, she wanted to see what the two brothers would talk about. She hadnt expected them to be so audacious and call He Yue Jin old man instead of Dad!
She pretended to wake up just then and called out in a daze, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming.
He Cheng Ming ignored her. Not getting a response, Zhao Mei Lan sat up and coughed. I just heard you say that it wasnt because of infidelity that he didnt return home. Whats going on?
At that moment, He Mu Sheng felt a certain pleasure in revenge and smiled. Seems like Auntie Zhao doesnt know yet. The He group is switching owners. The old man is rushing all over to beg for friendship.
He had a handsome face with even more pronounced facial features than He Cheng Ming. Being in the business for several years, he had an extraordinary presence and even his eyes carried the disdainful look of a naturally-born king.
When this news came out, Zhao Mei Lan almost fainted again. Her eyes rolled and she leaned against the head of the bed, regting her breathing.
How could that be?! How could you beat your father?! Zhao Mei Lan couldnt believe it and pulled out the needle from her arm, screaming aggressively!
If you dont believe it, you can ask Xiao Ming. He Mu Sheng said jokingly. It was his first time using He Cheng Mings nickname.
He Mu Sheng hated Zhao Mei Lan. Although his mother was in a business marriage with He Yue Jin, she had been dutiful and treated He Yue Jin sincerely after marrying into the He family. But Zhao Mei Lan still chose to be with He Yue Jin knowing that he was already married. Furthermore, she had provoked his mother more than once, even forcing He Yue Jin to get divorced. As a result, He Mu Sheng had to witness the separation of his parents at a young age. In resentment, his mother went abroad and never came back.
Xiao Ming, is he speaking the truth? Zhao Mei Lan was unwilling to give up and looked at her son hopefully.
He Cheng Ming frowned and hummed, crushing Zhao Mei Lansst hope.
Its finished. Itspletely finished.
Zhao Mei Lan mumbled repeatedly to herself, feeling like she had nowhere to turn. So many years of painstaking management and not only had her efforts been futile in the end, but she had also failed to hang on to He Yue Jin.
Shey on the bed with her hands drooping and her eyes zed. For a moment, she seemed to have lost her awareness of life.
Although He Mu Sheng hated Zhao Mei Lan, he was fond of He Cheng Ming. So before he left, he mercifully told her a piece of good news, The old man cant be relied on but your son is very rich now. Rx.
Sure enough, the moment Zhao Mei Lan heard the word rich, she suddenly had a strong sense of survival and suddenly turned to him. What do you mean?!
He Mu Sheng threw the bank book to her. Zhao Mei Lan picked it up and in a nce, saw several zeros, making her eyes blurry.
Is this your ount? She asked hurriedly.
He Mu Sheng stopped at the door. Dont worry. The money inside is your sons.
Beside them, He Cheng Ming watched the show: ...
First, beating his mother down with a stick, then giving her hope while dragging him down at the same time.
He really was the best damn brother in China!
Chapter 69 - Stay and Accompany Me to Sleep, Okay
Chapter 69 - Stay and Apany Me to Sleep, Okay
After He Mu Sheng left, the room was quiet for two seconds.
When Zhao Mei Lan had recovered from her dazed state, she sped the bank book in her hands and counted eight zeros. She held in a long breath and asked in a trembling voice, How much have you been hiding from me, Xiao Ming?
Zhao Mei Lan found it inconceivable. All this money belonged to her son. If it belonged to her son, didnt it belong to her?
But He Cheng Ming didnt give her any hope and went over to press the bell, then said indifferently, It has nothing to do with you. Zhao Mei Lan panicked and grabbed his hand. Youre my son. If it has nothing to do with me, then who does it concern?!
Right then, the nurse knocked on the door and came in holding the medical record in her arms, then heard the young man beside the bed saying in a cold voice, Ms. Zhao, I see that youre in good health. If you continue doing this, I wont have time to apany you here.
He hadnt even pacified his wife beforeing over to take care of her. He hadnte to see her make a scene and deliberately cause trouble.
Before she could go too far, Zhao Mei Lan stopped talking. After all, the only one left beside her was her son, He Cheng Ming. Actually, she felt guilty about He Cheng Ming, especially about the issue of him taking the medicine. At that time, she was also afraid that he would lose his mind, hence had forced him.
The nurse frowned after seeing the IV needle dripping on the floor. But remembering the department heads exnation, this was the famousdy of the He group, so she didnt dare to say anything and stood aside staring nkly.
Seeing this, He Cheng Ming stepped back to make room and motioned for her to re-insert the IV needle.
While this was being done, Zhao Mei Lan continued to pester He Cheng Ming, asking him various questions like how the money came about, and why was it under He Mu Shengs ount, wanting to understand everything clearly.
Finally, she asked softly, Xiao Ming, do you hate your mother?
He Cheng Ming froze, unable to voice his feelings. It felt like something he had been looking forward to for a long time and now it was being offered to him with both hands.
Did he hate Zhao Mei Lan?
Actually, he didnt. Otherwise, he wouldnt have rushed down when he heard that she was in the hospital.
In the end, He Cheng Ming didnt answer the question. He only helped her to tuck in the corners of her nket and waited till Zhao Mei Lan fell asleep. When he checked the time, it was already past eight in the evening.
He went out wanting to buy a charging device but couldnt find any mobile phone shops after searching for a long time. When he came back, he saw Zhao Mei Lan being sent to the emergency department.
Ji Liao had not heard from He Cheng Ming in three days and checked his phone repeatedly. He was very worried and wanted to call, but was afraid he was being foolish. Feeling upset and aggrieved, he bit his lips, resisted the impulse and threw the phone into his schoolbag.
Today was the day of their midterm exam. He thought that He Cheng Ming would need to show up to take the exam no matter what. But when he asked Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang replied that He Cheng Ming did not turn up. He immediately felt a sense of loss. What in the world was he doing?
Ji Liao was distracted. Before the exam, he called He Cheng Ming but only received a prompt that the phone was turned off.
He stared at the remark on his phone and for a moment, he didnt know what to do.
It was clearly the other boys fault. Didnt he even have the right to be angry?
Ji Liaos head was lowered and his eyes showed a surge of emotions. He was really afraid that He Cheng Ming didnt want him.
In the midst of this, Xu Xiao Jing came out to visit the toilet and saw him. She couldnt contain her surprise and said, Ji Liao, what are you doing here? The exam is starting soon!
At this, Ji Liao recovered and hurried back to the ssroom. The time passed vaguely with him immersed in his exam paper.
While others were rxed once they finished the exam, he had many worries on his mind. He contemted going to the boys house for a look. While trying to decide, he heard a familiar voice nearby; someone was calling his name.
Ji Liao looked up and saw He Cheng Ming standing at the school gate smiling at him. A lump formed in his throat.
He was angry, angry that the other boy hadnt contacted him for so many days and wanted to turn and walk away. But he was afraid that He Cheng Ming wouldnte after him. So the sweetness and bitterness tangled in his heart and he couldnt move from his original position.
He Cheng Ming strode toward him with a tired face and worries creased his brows. It had only been three days but it felt like three years.
He leaned down to hug the person he had been thinking of day and night. The scent of fresh soap on Ji Liaos body made his heart blossom and He Cheng Ming tightened the hug. He whispered, Im sorry, baby. Are you still angry with me?
Ji Liaos eyes were hot and he stood there stiffly. The hands that didnt return the hug said everything.
He Cheng Ming had stayed up for three days and two nights. He felt like his brain had turned to paste and his thoughts werent clear, so he didnt notice Ji Liaos abnormal behaviour and just held him for warmth.
Where have you been? Ji Liaos face was against his arm. His voice was muffled because he was being held so tightly.
At this, He Cheng Ming released him. Seeing his aggrieved face, he bent down and tried to kiss his mouth, but Ji Liao avoided him. This action made him stumped for a moment, then he sobered and exined, My mom is sick. Ive been in the hospital for three days looking after her.
Ji Liao met his eyes and his lips were tightly pursed. Then couldnt you have called me? His tone was t as if he wasnt expecting any satisfactory answers.
He Cheng Ming was upset and could only take out his phone to show him, saying anxiously, It was already t before it happened.
He knew that this reason was too coincidental to have much persuasive power, so he pleaded, Please trust me once more, Ji Liao. Previously, it was all my fault. I wouldnt ever lie to you again, okay?
Ji Liao didnt say anything and his face remained unchanged.
If I lie to you again, Ill be impotent for lif...
Before he could finish, his mouth was tightly covered by the person in front of him. Ji Liao red at him with bulging eyes. How could he say such a thing!
He Cheng Mingughed and stepped forward to hold him around the waist, saying flirtatiously, Dont worry. Even if I dont do it for myself, Ill need to be considerate of your sexual happiness and Ill never lie again.
Ji Liao kicked him in the shin angrily and said, Nothing seriouses out from your mouth! Kick as hard as you want. As long as you can stop being angry, you can do whatever you want.
When He Cheng Ming finished, he moved his face closer and grabbed Ji Liaos wrist, bringing it toward his face. Ill let you hit this too.
Fortunately, due to Ji Liaos timely response, he withdrew his hand immediately. If he hadnt, the p would have hit its target.
He bit his lower lip and looked at the other boy hatefully. He was bullied for being soft-hearted!
He Cheng Ming was so happy knowing that his wife was reluctant to hit him. In a dog-like manner, he bent down and nudged against Ji Liaos neck, trying to get on his good side. Lips just barely rubbed against his neck, making Ji Liao feel a little frisky.
Move. He gave the boneless man a push.
He Cheng Ming didnt move. He was so tired after three days of not sleeping and the smell of the other boys body was very reassuring. His bad mood gradually dissipated and closing his eyes, he said, Baby, I really missed you.
Ji Liao hummed in a small voice, making He Cheng Mingugh. The breath sprayed on his slender neck and it felt warm and tingly.
Really? He whispered.
He was still dozing with his eyes closed. His mouth bit Ji Liaos earlobe lightly and erotically.
Ji Liao was about to ignite when he realised that the other boy had suddenly stopped moving. Turning his head for a look, it seemed like he had fallen asleep leaning against him.
Fallen asleep?!!
He shook him awake and seeing that he had difficulty keeping his eyes open, he requested for a room in the hotel near the school to allow the other boy to rest.
He Cheng Mingy on the bed without moving while Ji Liao took the effort to take off his shoes, straighten his body then carefully cover him with the nket.
When he had finished and was about to go, his wrist was caught by the person in bed.
He Cheng Ming raised his head and opened his eyes, asking in a hoarse voice, Where are you going? Ji Liao said, Im going back.
Dont go back. He used a little strength and Ji Liao was pulled to the bedside, then his slender waist was hugged. Stay and apany me to sleep, okay? He Cheng Ming said as he pressed his face into Ji Liaos stomach and inhaled the delicious scent of his body.
If you leave, I cant sleep. His tone sounded slightly like that of a spoiled child.
Ji Liao brushed his fingers through his short hair. He didnt say anything and seemed to be hesitating.
He Cheng Ming suddenly reached for his face, raising his head to kiss him. With his vision blocked, his sense of touch became particrly sensitive.
His lips were a little dry and he wrapped them gently in his mouth. His movements were careful and gentle as if it was a Shan Zhen delicacy, tasting it little by little. Ji Liao was provoked and gradually imitated to cater to him.
He loved kissing He Cheng Ming. It seemed that only during this process, he could strongly feel how the other boy loved and treasured him. He was always so tender and intimate, making him feel deeply involved.
They kissed and rolled onto the bed. Pushing his shoes off, Ji Liao burrowed into the nket.
He Cheng Ming hugged him,ughing evilly and contentedly. With a final kiss, he ended this long and affectionate lingering embrace.
Just for two hours. Ji Liao said softly.
If he waster than that, Xu Ai Wen would be angry.
He Cheng Ming hummed, kissed his forehead and hugged him to sleep.
Ji Liao couldnt sleep and he opened his eyes to look at the young mans face in front of him. His eyebrows were thick and his eyshes short. Further down was the high bridge of his nose and it was like a beautiful arc. Unable to help himself, he reached out to touch and his hand was caught by He Cheng Ming, then ced on his waist.
Ji Liao immediately felt guilty and didnt dare to be brazen again.
After a while, He Cheng Ming seemed to be saying something while dreaming. There was an indistinct sound but he couldnt really hear clearly, so he moved his ear closer. Baby.
Dont be angry.
He heard the other boy say vaguely and he pressed his lips together, feeling his heart soften into a mess.
Then dont make me angry. Ji Liao responded softly.
As if he heard, He Cheng Ming gathered him close and hummed.
The two hours passed quickly.
Ji Liao shook the person beside him. He really had to go.
He Cheng Ming opened his eyes partially as if he was dreaming. Seeing his sweetheart still in his arms, he let out a lively sound ofughter. His voice was still hoarse, sounding nasal and inexplicably sexy.
Good boy. He rubbed Ji Liaos hair and regretted hurting him previously.
He was such a simple and lovely person. What could he want that the other would not give? Why did he have to lie to him?
He Cheng Ming felt he really wasnt a decent human being.
I wont do it in future. He made a seriousmitment.
Ji Liao poked his head out and in a hurried tone, he said, Quickly let go. I have to leave.
Chapter 70 - Do You Like Me That Much?
Chapter 70 - Do You Like Me That Much?
Not letting you go. He Cheng Ming said childishly.
Both his hands held tightly onto Ji Liaos waist under the thin nket and he crossed his long legs over him, gripping him firmly.
He couldnt run now.
Ji Liao found it funny but at the same time, said helplessly, My mom will be worried.
He blinked and his tone was slightly reluctant, but he had to return home. Xu Ai Wen had finally epted his rtionship with difficulty and now wasnt the time to screw up.
Then let me tell you everything first. He Cheng Ming raised his chin and propped it on Ji Liaos head. He clearly and calmly revealed everything about his stock spection, Zhao Mei Lan giving him the medicine and He Mu Sheng usurping the throne.
He said it simply, lightly summing up the hardships and difficulties of the past three years. When Ji Liao heard about the medicine, his body gave an obvious shudder. He Cheng Ming patted his back immediately and pacified him gently, Its okay. Dont worry.
Ji Liao felt like his internal organs had been fried and his hands gripped the other boys shirt tightly. How could his mother bear to lock up such a brilliant person and force medicine on him?!
Ji Liaos heart ached and he clenched his jaw tightly. He looked at He Cheng Ming with eyes that were watery as if tears would fall at any moment.
School bully He was deeply moved by this look of tolerance and love. He lowered his head to kiss his beautiful eyes and hugged him. Baby, its all over. In future, treat your hubby well and hell be happy.
Choked up with emotion, Ji Liao nodded. His previous doubts and anger disappeared. Now, he only wanted to make it up to him and make him happy.
Im not going back. Ill stay to apany you. Ji Liao said firmly, burrowing into He Cheng Mings arms like a kitten.
Your mom will get angry. Although it was an enticing suggestion, he had better think twice for the sake of the future.
Ji Liao had finally made up his mind with difficulty but with these words, he wavered again. He struggled free from He Cheng Mings legs and turned to straddle him, transforming from a kitten to a tiger. ring at him, he said, Stop talking.
His words were making him hesitate!
He Cheng Ming sat up abruptly and the two of them suddenly got closer. Ji Liao fell back with a push, felt both his hands held in the palms of the other boy being slowly raised up and pressed above his head. He had nowhere to hide with his back pressed against the headboard.
Do you like me that much? He Cheng Ming asked flirtatiously into his ear, a sea of flowers blooming in his heart. He turned his head and sucked a small hickey into his neck.
Why was his darling so good? So good that he felt inferior.
Dont you like me a lot as well?! Ji Liaos tone was slightly haughty, his eyes wanting to look at him but at the same time not daring to.
Yes. He Cheng Ming kissed his mouth as if it was a reward. Very much.
In seventeen years, after meeting so many people, only you have let me sample bitterness and also feel a rich aftertaste.
Good boy. In a short while, I have to go to the hospital. Ill send you home first.
He didnt want to offend his future mother-inw. Xu Ai Wen had a strong personality and couldnt be provoked.
With that, he hugged Ji Liao. Ji Liao got out of bed to put on his shoes and heard the other boy say, Ill still need to request for two days off. When I go back, Ill charge my phone. You can call me if you want, okay?
Ji Liao nodded obediently.
The two of them left the room and went to check out at the front desk.
To one side, thedy boss who was eating melon seeds couldnt help sizing them up with her eyes. When the two of them left, she immediately said to the youngdy at the front desk, Those two kids can really mess around. Its been almost three hours, right?
The youngdy at the front desk blushed and only felt that the tall one was quite handsome!
When He Cheng Ming was done sending Ji Liao home, he went back to the hospital and asked the nurse if Zhao Mei Lan had woken up.
It was easy for one to get out of shape when they reached middle age. To keep herself slim, Zhao Mei Lan had been in the habit of dieting. Recently, because of the falling out with He Yue Jin, she had gone on a hunger strike. In addition, she had been caught in the rain, causing a high fever which had led to hospital admission.
Before other conditions could be checked, she had entered the emergency room that night because of acute peritonitis. The diagnosis showed that it was gastric perforation and urgent surgery was carried out. After that, she had a fever and a rapid pulse. He Cheng Ming didnt dare to leave, taking care of her day and night. Today was the third day.
Zhao Mei Lan woke on the fourth day and felt like she had returned from the dead. The feeling of the tear on her abdomen made cold sweat break out on her forehead and she was unable to move. She could only call out weakly, Xiao Ming.
She knew that her son had apanied her all along.
He Cheng Ming saw that she was awake and his heart finally settled. When he heard that Zhao Mei Lan was sent to the emergency department, his mind went nk. In the end, he was still a child. Half an hour earlier, she had been fine but in a sh, she was down, making him feel confused and powerless.
Are you feeling ufortable anywhere? He questioned lightly, his tone unable to conceal his care.
It had been a long time since Zhao Mei Lan had heard her son speaking to her so gently. From her impression, He Cheng Ming had always been taciturn and standoffish toward her. Later on, when he spoke more, every statement was a cold warning or a fierce argument.
Zhao Mei Lan shook her head, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.
The results of the midterm exam came out in two days. Due to He Cheng Mings absence, Gu Ming Ren, the one who was forever second, finally reached the top and enjoyed the honour of being the first in science.
Ji Liao was also checking the bulletin board in the crowd and found his name in the liberal arts section. He was currently ranked thirty-nine. Compared to thest exam, there was a lot of progress!
He happily sent a message to He Cheng Ming to share the good news.
The other boy very quickly replied: Thats great. I miss you, baby. Kiss.
Ji Liao blushed but his lips quirked. Beside him, Xu Xiao Jing saw his results and pped him on the shoulder to congratte him. Well done, Ji Liao. Youre soaring into the sky now and will be shoulder-to-shoulder with He Cheng Ming soon!
That was too much of an exaggeration. He was still far behind!
But he was a step closer to his goal.
Ji Liao was very contented and returned to ss with Xu Xiao Jing.
On the way, they bumped into Li You Xin and Chen Li Wen. Chen Li Wens nose was bruised and his face was swollen as if he had just fought with someone. He was hanging his head.
Ji Liao asked them nervously, What happened?
Li You Xin spat and cursed. That Gao Sheng from ss six! Do you remember when he challenged us for the court around the time ofst years basketball match, thenter got beaten up by He Cheng Ming? He had been as quiet as a chicken for half a year. Now, I dont know what made him crazy, suddenly turning around to cause trouble for us. Li Wen was just blocked by him in the toilet and beaten up.
Xu Xiao Jing was still nearby. After all, she was a girl and Chen Li Wen had to regain some respect, so he added, There were three of them! What can one of me do against three of them? Anyway, that dog Gao Sheng was kicked in the ass by me!
The implication was that he hadnt done too badly either.
Ji Liao saw that the condition of his face was quite serious and knew that this couldnt be hidden from the teacher.
Sure enough, Chen Li Wens parents came down in the afternoon and made a big fuss in the office. Their child was beaten up like this in school. Mother Chen questioned the principal, was this a school or the underworld?!
Gao Sheng had no one at home. He was an abandoned baby and had been with his grandmother since young. Her health wasnt good and the teachers knew the situation. They didnt dare to disturb her and could only cooperate to get the fastest possible resolution.
The next day, Gao Sheng was expelled by the school because that was his third disciplinary record.
Ji Liao kept hearing about Gao Shengs family situation and he couldnt help sighing. But he couldnt sympathise. Poverty wasnt an excuse for doing evil. His grandmother provided for him to go to school but he used the time to bully his schoolmates. This wasnt right.
He Cheng Ming was very annoyed in the hospital. When He Yue Jinter learned of the situation, he arranged for a healthcare worker toe over. He Cheng Ming thought he could go but Zhao Mei Lan refused, pestering him to apany her. If he didnt, she would make a fuss, causing the hospital to be abuzz.
Damn it, he couldnt even go to school!
He Cheng Ming gave the room door a kick and scared the passing nurse.
Zhao Mei Lan knew that he was restraining fire in his heart so she didnt dare to provoke him. She sat on the bed and sipped on her liquid food.
When she finished her lunch, the healthcare worker took the food table away. Then, in a voice dripping with sarcasm, Zhao Mei Lan said, Dont you just want to go and see that person?!
She had originally wanted to say little male vixen but was afraid that He Cheng Ming would wash his hands of her and leave, so she immediately changed it to that person.
He Cheng Ming didnt make a sound, lowering his head to send a message to Ji Liao: Have you eaten? Baby.
Ji Liao replied: Yeah, Ive eaten.
He Cheng Ming asked again: What did you eat?
Ji Liao smiled: Do you need to care about what I eat?
He Cheng Ming said: Then you ask me what I ate.
Ji Liao: Im not asking.
He Cheng Ming showed an aggrieved expression: You dont care about me!
It was just some small talk but he just wanted to chat with the other boy. Like this, it was as if Ji Liao was in front of him.
Suddenly, a long voice message came over and Zhao Mei Lans gaze fixed on him. He Cheng Ming went outside to listen to it and after hearing that Gao Sheng had been expelled, his brows creased immediately. Gao Sheng was someone with a strong sense of revenge and he was afraid that the boy would cause trouble for Ji Liao.
He Cheng Ming called Ji Liao and asked him to be careful when he went home. If that wasnt possible, he was to leave together with Lin Jiang.
Ji Liao felt that he was making too big a deal out of it but still agreed to him verbally.
The two of them chatted for a while, the content of their conversation nothing more than school bully Hes lovesickness and needing a kiss from adorable Ji to make it right.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Liao returned to his seat. There was no one in ss at the moment so he quickly took a picture and sent it to the other boy.
When He Cheng Ming received it, he felt his heart being further captured and set it as his lock screen.
This led him to swipe his phone every few minutes to look at it with foolish happiness.
Zhao Mei Lan had never seen her son look like he was having an out-of-body experience. At once, she felt that Ji Liao was an evil spirit who had cleanly eaten away at her son!
Zhao Mei Lans theatrics red up. She covered her abdomen and cried out in pain, causing the healthcare worker to run for the doctor. At first, He Cheng Ming moved closer nervously but after seeing the hint of a smile in Zhao Mei Lans triumphant eyes, his expression cooled and he asked with disgust, Was that meaningful?
Zhao Mei Lan felt that it was. Being able to make her son put his phone down showed that she was more important than that little male vixen!
She had nothing now. Knowing that she was in the hospital, He Yue Jin had only sent a healthcare worker over. It showed that their long rtionship was weak. Now, the only thing she could rely on was her son, He Cheng Ming.
Let me tell you that you dont have to try. Youre not as important as him. He Cheng Ming said this without the least bit of hesitation. What he felt toward Zhao Mei Lan was more of an obligation. There were some feelings, but they werent deep. If she wanted to bepared with Ji Liao, she couldnt evenpare with a strand of his hair.
Zhao Mei Lans face was pale, then it reddened. After that, it turned pale again. Movement due to her anger tore the wound and she cried out in pain. He Cheng Ming didnt go over to help. Instead, he waited for the healthcare worker to return to help her lie down.
Chapter 71 - Where Were You About to Put Your Groping Hand!
Chapter 71 - Where Were You About to Put Your Groping Hand!
That day after school, Lin Jiang received instructions to wait at the door of ssroom twelve as early as possible.
Ji Liao was actually quite embarrassed and hadnt really expected He Cheng Ming to ask Lin Jiang to leave with him. Lin Jiang didntin. ording to him, he normally wandered around outside for some time before going home, so sending Ji Liao home could be counted as a way to pass the time too.
Besides, Ming Ge had given him such an important person to protect which showed how much he trusted him! Passionate second-year youth Lin Jiang was full of confidence in this task!
The two of them left the teaching block together Ji Liao obediently carrying his schoolbag and beside him, Lin Jiang had both hands sloppily stuffed into his pockets, worriedly scratching his head from time to time. Ji Liao turned to look at Lin Jiang, who seemed like he had something annoying on his mind.
Eh, Ji Liao, let me ask you something.
Lin Jiangs tone was slightly embarrassed but he could only ask Ji Liao about it. Firstly, the boy had experience and secondly, Ji Liao was tight-lipped and wouldnt bber about it.
Okay, ask me.
Lin Jiang looked around and said in a low voice, Since youve been with Ming Ge for so long, you should have done something quite often right?
Ji Liao turned. What is that something?
Lin Jiang gave a tut sound. Kiss!
Ji Liao was silent and the tips of his ears were a little red. After all, it was personal but Lin Jiang wasnt an outsider. Moreover, it didnt seem like he was trying gossip, so he nodded honestly.
Lin Jiang continued asking, Then how do you feel about it? Are you unwilling? He looked at Ji Liao expectantly after asking, feeling a little nervous.
No. Ji Liao answered awkwardly.
Thinking to himself, not only was he not unwilling, he quite liked it.
Lin Jiangs head drooped. Whats going on?
He was really annoyed. Ever since he had transferred over ten thousand yuan to Li Si Ran, the rtionship between the two of them had been developing rapidly. They had been together for some time but apart from chatting more freely, at other times such as previously, Li Si Ran always took the initiative to kiss him. But because he felt ufortable, he turned his head away at the critical moment.
Li Si Ran had asked him angrily, do you not like me?!
Lin Jiang felt wrongly used. If he didnt like her, would he transfer money to her so readily?
He felt that he quite liked Li Si Ran. He shared whatever good food or interesting activities there were with her at the first opportunity. If that wasnt like, then he had nothing to say.
It was just that every time he encountered real physical contact, he wasnt very willing. Looking at Li Si Rans small red lips, he felt that they were quite pretty but he had no desire to kiss them.
Was he incapable?!
But every time he watched a movie, he masturbated quite happily.
With his head drooped, Lin Jiang let out a sigh. Suddenly, he thought of the two times when he had been forced to kiss. Could it be that he had been traumatised by Gu Ming Ren during those two times so had it had cast a shadow over kissing?
Yes, that must be it!
Lin Jiang was crazily cursing in his heart at Gu Ming Ren, the bespectacled monster with the human face and beasts heart. Fuck you cunt!
After the curse, Ji Liao stopped and looked at him in shock.
Lin Jiang exined immediately, Im not scolding you.
Then, not far away at the school gate, he saw Gao Sheng the one who Ming Ge had urged him to guard against among the flow of people.
Lin Jiang elbowed Ji Liao, indicating for Ji Liao to look.
Ji Liao followed his line of sight and saw Gao Sheng smile evilly, then reach out to stop a girl.
Fuck, isnt that Meng Yao Yao?!
Lin Jiang rushed out with Ji Liao following closely behind.
Meng Yao Yao looked at the hand in front that was blocking her and frowned immediately, raising her head to warn, Gao Sheng, what do you want? Would you believe Ill ask the security guard to chase you away?
The girls voice was very angry but it sounded very delicate to Gao Shengs ears as if she was flirting with him.
What do I want? Doesnt school flower Meng know?
He had had his eyes on Meng Yao Yao for more than a year now. She was beautiful with a good figure. Her skin was fair and delicate and must feel really good to the touch!
If not for the few losers from the ss forming a flower protector alliance to separate him from Meng Yao Yao, he would have picked Meng Yao Yao up long ago!
Gao Shengs wandering eyes roamed over Meng Yao Yaos body. He was about to make a move on her when he was pushed aside by Lin Jiang who had rushed over.
Lin Jiang quickly pulled Meng Yao Yao behind him and said aggressively to the person in front of him, Son of a bitch, where were you about to put your groping hand?! Youre fucking itching to get beaten up, right?
Gao Sheng stumbled a few steps. Once he stabilised himself and saw that it was Lin Jiang, he sneered with a ha sound. Then his gaze fell on Ji Liao who was running over, and there was a sh of hate in his eyes.
He would remember these people. Not a single one of them would escape.
He let out a strangeugh and without a word, he turned and left.
Damn it.
Lin Jiang cursed at his back, then turned to ask Meng Yao Yao, Are you okay?! Meng Yao Yaos face was red and shook her head.
Ji Liao then asked, What happened? Does he harass you often?
Meng Yao Yao said with some difficulty, Not very often. This happens asionally.
She knew that Gao Sheng liked her but she had made it clear that she didnt like him.
Most of the boys in the ss were very protective of her. As long as Gao Sheng wanted to get near her, they would all be on guard. So when they were in school, Gao Sheng didnt dare to go overboard.
Only once or twice had he blocked her and taken liberties with her verbally.
But she had also encountered something like this many times from people in other sses or outside of school, whistling at her or saying intolerable things. She wasnt able to stop the mouths of others so she didnt take it to heart.
Damn it! Lin Jiangs temper red, unable to bear hearing about such a thing and wishing he could dismember those who had harassed Meng Yao Yao.
Ji Liao also had a dark expression and he was very worried. Now that Gao Sheng had been expelled, he would be even more unrestrained outside of school.
Next time, wait for me and well leave together, Ji Liao said. Two were better than one after all.
Yes, you can leave together with Ji Liao and this young master will protect you both. Lin Jiang thumped his chest with the air of a chivalrous hero.
Nearby, Gu Ming Ren, who had witnessed the whole thing, let out a disdainful sneer. He looked down and repeatedly read over theints that Li Si Ran had sent to himst night. Gu Shao, do you think Lin Jiang has a problem?
He doesnt let me touch him and Im really lonely.
Gu Shao, Im very clean. Shall I give you my first time?
Gu Ming Ren had seen flirtation but had never seen someone so flirtatious. He really wanted to take a screenshot and fling it at Lin Jiangs face so he could see what kind of prostitute from the mountains his girlfriend was.
But he couldnt, as now, he had vaguely learned from Li Si Rans few words that Lin Jiang was repelled by contact with Li Si Ran.
Why was he repelled?
It was either he didnt like her or that he had someone else in his heart.
Gu Ming Rens eyes darkened and he dared not think about it, his scorching heart burning a hole in the darkness.
Chapter 72 - Your Sister Wasnt Bullied
Chapter 72 - Your Sister Wasnt Bullied
Something happened the next evening. Lin Jiang was talking and joking around with Meng Yao Yao when suddenly, they were stopped by a group of people.
Ji Liao was the first to be alerted and immediately touched his phone, wanting to make a call. But he was seen by the yellow-haired leader who hit it with a long stick, making the phone drop to the ground with a tter.
Ji Liaos heart trembled. He had always been a good student and had never seen this type of confrontation. There were more than seven or eight people; all of them had dyed hair and didnt look mainstream or the types to be provoked.
Whats happening? Meng Yao Yao was frightened and asked Lin Jiang softly.
Lin Jiang wasnt good in other things but he was very familiar with the scums in the high school circles. He saw that they not only had wash, cut, blow hairstyles but were also carrying knives and sticks, most probably students from the nearby vocational high school. So he stepped forward and asked, Guys, whats the meaning of this?
The leader, Yellow Hair, looked askance at him and said in an awesome tone, Youve offended someone. Let us give you a beating obediently, then you can go. Beside him, a younger boy squinted at Meng Yao Yao and licked his lips. We dont beat girls up. Come over and hide in Geges arms. He had heard that the girl was a school flower. She was really beautiful and had a big chest, much better-looking than Li Si Ran from their school!
Meng Yao Yao just felt disgusted and retreated two steps. Ji Liao stepped forward and stood in front of her.
Lin Jiang had a short temper and was about to start swearing. Looking at therge numbers their opponent had, he swallowed his swearing and continued trying to be friendly. Guys, who did we offend? You should be clear, if not, how do we treat such a questionable matter?
He was trying to buy some time, hoping for any passerby to help by reporting to the police.
Gao Sheng is my brother, get it? Yellow Hair was impatient. He waved the wooden stick in his hand and seemed to be ready to start the beating.
Seeing the situation, Lin Jiang said hurriedly, That dog, Gao Sheng, doesnt have money or power. Guys, why do you bother? Why dont we be friends? How about I treat you to K on Saturday at Xi Jiang Yue?!
Yellow Hair let out an ah sound and became even angrier.
He couldnt afford Xi Jiang Yue but could something like this buy him over?!
Gao Sheng was right. The rich second generation bullied people. They were arrogant just because they had some money and thought that everyone had to kneel to them and lick their shoes.
Wasnt it just reincarnation?
No need. I advise you not to fight backter. Once we get our fill of beating you up, well leave. If not, you can see we have knives. The knives dont have eyes. In case a hole is pierced into precious you...
Before Yellow Hair could finish, Lin Jiang continued, Then youll just have to wait for prison!
Damn, you really think youre a hooligan?
Who are you fooling with the knives?
Think your grandfather hasnt seen the world?
Seeing that his enticing held no chances, Lin Jiang had already rolled up his sleeves preparing for the fight. What could a man of steel be afraid of?!
Yellow Hair was shocked by his posture.
With a look, he told the brothers to put away their knives. He didnt want to go to prison.
Ji Liao secretly said to Meng Yao Yao, Later, take advantage of the confusion to run away from behind. Right then, he seemed to spot Lin Jia Sui across the street.
Meng Yao Yao was afraid. She held onto his arm tightly and was almost in tears.
Yellow Hair was no longer able to wait. With a wave of his hand, several people rushed up. Ji Liao pushed Meng Yao Yao aside and used his schoolbag to defend himself by putting it in front of him. Feeling the long sticking down on him, he raised his foot and kicked the other boy hard until the boy fell over.
Lin Jiang let out a wow sound. Ji Liao, I couldnt tell, but youre actually quite something.
With that, he grabbed a long stick from an idiots hand and brandished it recklessly. Whichever manner he did it in, it was done with great force!
In the end, it was difficult for two fists to be a match for four legs and the two of them fell quickly. Ji Liaos back was hit severely and Lin Jiang immediately felt that he was finished. He was going to be scolded to death by Ming Ge!
His own leg was kicked by Yellow Hair before Lin Jiang could react. He rushed over to hold Yellow Hairs waist and pushed him back several steps. Yellow Hair exerted all his strength to knee his chin and Lin Jiang felt like his oral cavity had been pierced.
Suddenly, there was a whistle and Yellow Hairs legs stopped moving. He turned to see a police officer and ran away immediately.
Only a few boys who were slow to respond were caught.
Three or four of them were taken to the police station to be recorded. Ji Liaos cheek was scratched, showing red flesh and blood.
Lin Jiang didnt dare to look farther and thought that he was finished. He hadnt protected Ji Liao well and didnt know if Ming Ge would beat him up!
After a while, a woman walked into the police station wearing only a halter top and leather pants covering her long legs. She was slender and stood upright, and she had a very good figure.
Theres someone here who needs to report something to the police. The woman said, leading Meng Yao Yao out from behind her.
Meng Yao Yao had already stopped crying but hershes were still covered with tears and her hair was messy. It was obvious that she had suffered through something.
She shuddered and tightly wrapped herself in the coat that the woman had put on her, her own clothes already torn.
When Ji Liao saw her, he stood immediately, his heart jumping into his throat, and he hurried over. Finally seeing someone familiar, Meng Yao Yao rushed into his arms with a whine.
Ji Liaos hands were stiff and he patted her on the back.
He didnt even dare to ask what happened.
But the woman next to her asked, Who are you? Ji Liao said, Im her brother.
Oh, dont worry. Your sister wasnt bullied. Just that the criminal got away.
The woman had just been passing by. When she heard Meng Yao Yaos plea for help, she decided to fight against injustice and helped her. Unfortunately, she didnt catch that scum of society.
He also looked like a high school student.
Meng Yao Yao looked up then and sobbed, It was Gao Sheng.
It wasnt long after she ran before she bumped into Gao Sheng, who pulled her into an alley and attempted to vite her. Fortunately, she was saved by the Jiejie beside her. Otherwise, she would really...
Meng Yao Yaos tears fell and her heart felt like a shadow was falling over it.
Nearby, Lin Jiang heard and immediately punched one of the yellow-haired boys. Fuck you, are you human?! An officer came over to pull him away and warned, Do you know the punishment for hitting others in a police station?! At this, Lin Jiang sat down.
Thank you, Jiejie. Meng Yao Yao said to the woman, between tears.
The woman handed her over to the police officers and turned to leave.
Meng Yao Yao chased after her. Jiejie, can you tell me your name? The woman turned and said coolly, Oh, my name is Jiang Qi. Thank you, Jiang Qi Jiejie.
After the questioning, the police each wrote their own report.
Those who were involved in the fight got verbally lectured while a policewoman calmed Meng Yao Yao. Then, their guardians were called. Xu Ai Wen and Meng Yuan hurried down. Meng Yao Yao had just calmed down but seeing her father, she felt very aggrieved and rushed into his arms.
Xu Ai Wen was also shocked and never expected something like this to happen.
Afterforting Meng Yao Yao with a few words, she went inside to retrieve Ji Liao. Seeing the injury on Ji Liaos face, Xu Ai Wens eyes turned red.
Do you have any other injuries? She pulled back his sleeves and saw that Ji Liaos arms and back had one or two red marks.
Xu Ai Wen felt her heart ache and she was angry. How can you still learn to fight?!
Ji Liao didnt say a word and bit his lips tightly.
Xu Ai Wen took the two children home first, leaving Meng Yuan to deal with the follow-up issues.
Before long, Lin Jiangs parents also arrived. Neither of them was easy to deal with and they demanded for those responsible to be detained, refusing any settlement!
Two of the yellow-haired younger brothers were afraid after hearing that and immediately confessed the names of all those involved in the fight, pleading to atone for their crimes.
The police made another record. The Lin family had money and connections and made them spend the night at the police station.
Chapter 73 - If He Didnt Break Gao Shengs Leg, His Surname Wasnt He
Chapter 73 - If He Didnt Break Gao Shengs Leg, His Surname Wasnt He
The news spread quickly and the school was abuzz, even making an announcement for students to pay attention to safety on the way home and not to linger on the roads. Lin Jiangughed. Was that lingering? They had been forced to stay!
He really couldnt swallow this, nning to take advantage of the fact that it was Friday to gather a group of people to call on the vocational high school.
But that was something for the evening.
Now, it was still daytime during regr lessons and Lin Jiang was thinking about how to exin the situation to He Cheng Ming in a way that could reduce his ountability.
A call from the other boy suddenly came in, scaring him. Trembling with fear, Lin Jiang picked it up. Hello?
From the other end, He Cheng Ming scolded, I asked you to protect him and what did you do?! Didnt I make it clear to you? I wanted you to be careful but you fucking took my words for granted?!
He Cheng Ming was so mad that the whole ss could hear him.
Lin Jiang held the phone further away and hurried out of the ssroom. Then he said in an aggrieved manner, Ming Ge, I really couldnt have prevented it.
Who knew that Gao Sheng, that son of a bitch, would look for assistance? How could this be med on him?
He Cheng Ming didnt care about these details and only looked at the result, which was that Ji Liao had gotten injured!
Dont give me any excuses! Wait till I get back and see how I deal with you! Dont, Ming Ge.
Lin Jiang wailed in anguish. Before he could finish, his phone was forcefully taken away.
He turned around and saw Gu Ming Ren standing beside him holding his phone, saying in a cold voice, Arent you able to protect your own people? When something happens, you get angry at him. Is he your dog?!
He was obviously referring to Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang let out a curse, feeling his neck turn cold and snatched his phone back. He called out urgently, Ming Ge, hello? Ming Ge?! The other boy had already hung up the phone.
Lin Jiang cried out and turned around to scold Gu Ming Ren, Its none of your business. Do I need you to speak for me? But Gu Ming Ren had already gone into his own ssroom so he didnt even have a chance to scold!
Lin Jiang had no choice but to send a message to Ji Liao for help: Sister-inw, Ming Ge is most likely going to beat me up. Please put in some good words for me and save my two lovely little tiger teeth!
Lin Jiang had always remembered the time when He Cheng Ming had lost his temper and knocked out two teeth of the other person with a punch. The scene was extremely bloody!
At the same time, He Cheng Ming sent Gu Ming Ren a message: Gu Shao, have you been reduced to this point? Happy to save a damsel in distress?
Gu Ming Ren had been the one who called and told him about what had happened with Ji Liao. In the end, he turned around and spoke up for Lin Jiang. It was aplete scheme. Gu Ming Ren replied expressionlessly: I dont know what youre talking about.
He Cheng Ming let out a sound, his fingers knocking on the nurses counter and he said anxiously, Please hurry up.
He was helping Zhao Mei Lan with the discharge formalities. It was just a dayte. If he had gone back one day earlier, Ji Liao wouldnt have gotten injured.
His phone vibrated and He Cheng Ming picked it up to see that it was a message from Ji Liao: Do you already know? Dont me Lin Jiang. He got injured too.
He Cheng Ming typed an exnation immediately: Yeah, Im just scaring him.
Ji Liao was relieved and returned his attention to ss.
When school was over, Lin Jiang brought a few friends and headed aggressively to Yellow Hairs vocational high school &#k2014; a few tall and strong people standing there made for some considerable posturing.
When he saw Yellow Hairing out, one of his friends nudged Lin Jiang. Hey, is he the one with the bruised nose and swollen face?! Lin Jiang took one look. Wasnt that him?
No, why had someone gotten to him first?!
His friend said hesitantly, Hes already like this. Do we still beat him up?
Seeing Yellow Hairs face almost as swollen as a pig. It was pitiful how could they proceed?!
Lin Jiang was choking with anger and he had to put out the fire, so he said in a hard voice, Beat him up! Dont hit his face, just his body! The friends received the order and waited for Yellow Hair toe out from the school gate, then immediately walked over to frame him from the left and right, guiding him to the small flowerbed nearby.
Yellow Hair was about to cry. His brothers no longer hung out with him because he had run away yesterday, so now, he had no one by his side and could only shield his head with his arms while enduring the punches and kicks. Aggrieved, he said, Havent you already beaten me up once? Why is there a second time?!
Wasnt there some morality in the underworld?!
Lin Jiang stepped on the flowerbed and said fiercely, If I want to beat you up, Ill beat you up. Do I need to differentiate how many times I do it?!
Yellow Hair couldnt refute it and gritted his teeth while shedding tears of regret.
Lin Jiang relieved his anger and was about to leave when he saw Li Si Raning out from the vocational high school. He had a look of confusion on his face. Wasnt Li Si Ran from A high school?! He asked Yellow Hair, Is she from your school? Yellow Hair nced over and nodded. Yes, shes from our school. Lin Jiangs expression darkened. Li Si Ran lied to him?!
Ji Liao was nning to leave and saw Lin Jia Sui at the door. He called out to stop her, Monitor. Lin Jia Sui looked back and without any expression, said, Yes?
Did you help to call the police yesterday?
At the time he saw Lin Jia Sui, she had disappeared again in the blink of an eye and before long, the police arrived.
Lin Jia Sui snorted. So what if it was me? I dont need your thanks. I didnt help because of you! Ji Liao said oh and without saying anything else, he brushed past her and walked away.
Lin Jia Sui was so angry that she stamped her foot! Not even a thank you! At the time, she even ran until her shoes fell off! Ji Liao took two steps then turned back, and said with a smile, Thanks. His youthful voice was clear and straightforward.
Lin Jia Sui was stunned. She suddenly felt that he was quite good-looking when he smiled and her face reddened. She instantly pped her cheeks and said softly, What are you thinking?! Hes Ji Liao!
Ji Liao left the school and Xu Ai Wen was already waiting for him.
After what happenedst night, Meng Yuan and Xu Ai Wen were both worried about the two children taking public transportation and decided to fetch them personally.
Meng Yuan had to work so this task fell on Xu Ai Wen who had no objections. Safety always came first.
Meng Yao Yao wasnt there today. She was resting at home so now, it was only Ji Liao in the car.
While driving, Xu Ai Wen asked him, Does the injury on your face still hurt? Ji Liao shook his head. It doesnt hurt anymore.
Xu Ai Wen looked at him through the rearview mirror and asked tentatively, That person of yours, why hasnt he appeared recently?
Xu Ai Wen hadnt seen He Cheng Ming for a while and she couldnt help but wonder if the two of them had already broken up. If they hadnt, what was going on with the other boy? Her son had been beaten up and he hadnt expressed anything?!
Ji Liao said, Hes taking care of his mother in the hospital.
In an experienced tone, Xu Ai Wen said, If he has you in his heart, he shoulde to see you immediately! Ji Liao blushed and murmured, Im not a girl. Isnt it very normal to get some injuries?
Xu Ai Wen was so angry that she turned her head during a red light and berated, How many times have I let you get injured? Huh? Isnt it very normal to get some injuries? Do you think its normal?!
Ji Liao didnt say anything else and pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved.
He secretly sent He Cheng Ming a message: What are you doing?
At that moment, He Cheng Ming was stepping on Yellow Hairs neck. Yellow Hair was so scared that he was whining for mercy, I wouldnt dare to do it again. I was really wrong. Please let me go.
This was the third time. When will it end...
Yellow Hair wiped his face and cried.
He Cheng Ming felt his phone vibrate and kicked him away. With a swipe, he saw that it was Ji Liao and his indifferent expression immediately became tender.
He made a phone call to him, his voice full of care, Baby, do you miss me?
Ji Liao was little embarrassed in front of Xu Ai Wen and only hummed softly, then asked, What are you doing?
He Cheng Ming raised a hand and hailed a taxi. On the way to your home.
When Ji Liao heard, he was quite happy and his eyes were bright. He said softly, Have you eaten?
Is Auntie nearby?
He didnt know how the other boy had figured it out. Ji Liao hummed.
Auntie should be ming me because I didnt protect you. How did you know? Ji Liao was surprised.
He Cheng Mingughed softly. She really said that?
It felt like he was trying to get some information out of him!
Ji Liao bit his lip. Right then, the car entered the parking lot of themunity and the phone signal weakened. He quickly said a few words, hung up, then told Xu Ai Wen, Hesing overter.
His tone was a little smug.
Xu Ai Wen was annoyed and amused at the same time. She poked at his head. You silly boy.
They got into the elevator. Xu Ai Wen began to cook after reaching home, preparing slightly more than usual, thinking that the meal could start when He Cheng Ming arrivedter.
After a while, Ji Liao sneaked out and went downstairs. He spotted the other boy in a nce.
He ran over and He Cheng Ming opened his arms to embrace him, lifting him up for a kiss.
Ji Liao bit down on his lower lip refusing to let go and made a red mark.
So passionate?
Before Ji Liao could answer, He Cheng Ming pressed on the back of his head to deepen the kiss. Ji Liao raised his head but could not keep up with the boys urgency, so just allowed him to take whatever he wanted.
After his mouth became empty, Ji Liao was panting.
He Cheng Ming touched the scab on his face and his heart ached. With self-me, he said, Its all my fault that I didnt protect you. Ji Liao retorted, I dont need your protection.
He Cheng Mings big hands were at his waist and lifted him up onto his body. His tone carried a little touch of jealousy when he said, Then who do you want to protect you? Out of the corner of his eye, Ji Liao saw Meng Yuans caring in and immediately pulled away from He Cheng Ming. When the car passed, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked, Why didnt you go up directly just now?
He Cheng Ming scratched his nose. Why do you think? If Xu Ai Wen was present, he wouldnt have been able to even touch the other boys fingers!
How would I know?
Ji Liao mumbled to himself and pulled him into the elevator. Since Meng Yuan was back, it should be time to eat.
As soon as the door of the elevator closed, He Cheng Ming pushed him into the corner and started groping and fooling around. When his palm presses against the injury on Ji Liaos back, Ji Liao groaned. He Chen Ming stopped immediately and pulled open his shirt for a look. A bright red mark pierced his eyes.
There was also one on his arm and he almost took off Ji Liaos pants to check as well.
Its really okay down there. Ji Liao restrained his hands in a panic.
He Cheng Mings jaw was tight and his face was dark. Damn it, if he didnt break Gao Shengs leg, his surname wasnt He!
Chapter 74 - Bending His Head to Kiss the Back of His Waist
Chapter 74 - Bending His Head to Kiss the Back of His Waist
Xu Ai Wen had already prepared their meal when they entered.
There was a rich array of dishes on the table with perfect colour, vour and smell. Ji Liao ran over for a look and suddenly felt that his mom was quite biased. She said she didnt like He Cheng Ming but every time he came over, she always prepared a lot of good dishes.
Ji Liao was hungry and he picked up a pair of chopsticks for a taste but was stopped by Xu Ai Wen who was carrying some hot soup out. Tang Tang, go and wash your hands. Ji Liao pursed his lips, put his chopsticks down and reluctantly went to wash his hands.
He Cheng Ming called out politely, Auntie.
Xu Ai Wens attitude towards him had eased quite a lot and she didnt ostracize him like before. She said lightly, Xiao He, go with him. He Cheng Ming was overwhelmed and hurried up to take the hot soup from her. Let me. He put the soup bowl in the centre of the table, then turned and said, Auntie, thanks for the hard work. Xu Ai Wen ate the sweet talk up and coughed lightly, then asked him to quickly wash his hands.
The family sat down to eat.
Ji Liao consciously took up the role of the host. He was very enthusiastic towards He Cheng Ming, the guest and boyfriend, giving him a piece of fried pumpkin and saying in passing, This is delicious.
Then seeing the sweet and sour fish that was further from him, He Cheng Ming picked up a piece for him with his long arm and put it in Ji Liaos bowl.
The two children publicly disyed affection without qualms and Xu Ai Wen couldnt look on. As a man, Meng Yuan felt that he shouldnt lose! He helped Xu Ai Wen to take a C chicken wing. Of course, he couldnt forget his little lover from his past life and also helped to take one for Meng Yao Yao.
It was a dinner full of dog food.
After the meal, Meng Yuan pulled He Cheng Ming away to discuss the stock market. He had wanted to discuss it in depth with him for a long and finally had a chance today.
At first, He Cheng Ming was still serious about the analysis but very quickly realised that the conversation was going on endlessly. So he gradually became distracted and gave perfunctory replies.
Ji Liao felt that the two of them were going to talk for a long time so he went to his room to take a bath.
Meng Yuan was on a roll and didnt want to let He Cheng Ming go. But seeing his eyes almost stuck onto Ji Liaos room door, he waved arge hand helplessly. Okay, go.
Kids these days bore so easily.
He Cheng Ming stood immediately and walked toward Ji Liaos room. Ji Liao had juste out after finishing his bath and the other boy was already sitting on his bed.
Finished chatting? He picked up a dry towel and wiped his wet hair.
Yes.
He Cheng Ming gestured to him and waited for Ji Liao to walk over. He pulled him onto hisp then snatch the towel from his hand and helped him to rub it through his hair.
Ji Liao sat obediently and waited for him to finish.
The boys hair was short and before long, it was mostly dry. He Cheng Ming had his fingers in the other boys ck hair. It was fine and soft and felt very good.
He was sniffing at the faint fragrance from Ji Liaos body and couldnt help but give him a full hug, taking a deep breath then asking, What kind of bath oil do you use? It smells so nice.
Its just a normal shower gel. Ji Liao named amon brand.
He Cheng Ming seemed unable to get enough of the smell, the tip of his nose pressed against the other boys neck. He wanted to rub the boy into his body, saying in a muffled voice, Ill buy one when I get back.
Ji Liaoughed and tried to get off hisp. He Cheng Ming didnt let go and clung on, causing him to exin helplessly, The door isnt locked. It wouldnt be good if my momes in and sees us.
He Cheng Ming immediately stood while carrying him and walked over to lock the door, then turned and pressed him down onto the bed. I miss you so much, baby.
Like arge dog, he arched against his body and Ji Liaos heart sweetened so much that he decided to give him a gift. Theres some ointment on my desk. Help me to apply it on my back.
Wheres the ointment?
He Cheng Ming suddenly sat up, his eyes searching the desk for the ointment. He saw the red tube and walked over to pick it up.
Ji Liaoy facedown on the bed with his T-shirt lifted, revealing his naked back with a long red mark, which was a shocking sight.
He Cheng Ming squeezed a bit of ointment on his fingertips, blowing and applying it at the same time with tender movements.
The cool feeling made Ji Liao pull away his abdomen and his waist copsed. The groove in the middle of his body was obvious and He Cheng Mings throat tightened, bending his head to kiss the back of his waist.
Ji Liao let out an oh then quickly covered his mouth!
With that kiss from the other boy, his entire body ckened and hey paralyzed and boneless on the bed.
So sensitive? He Cheng Ming smirked, pulling his T-shirt down then dragged Ji Liao toward himself. Ji Liao had gained some weight recently and there was a little more meat on his body. He felt very good, soft and smooth to the touch.
Your birthday is soon, right? He asked as he helped Ji Liao to rub the ointment onto his arm.
Ji Liao nodded, then shook his head. August. Another two months.
Okay. When He Cheng Ming finished with his arm, he straightened the other boys face, then gently applied the ointment to the wound on it.
Capping the ointment, he kissed Ji Liaos mouth and said, Not urgent.
Ji Liao nced at his crotch and felt that he was quite urgent. But he didnt say anything and got up to do his homework.
High school life was difficult and the homework was endless.
He Cheng Ming was beside him guiding him through some problems and before they knew it, it was almost ten.
Xu Ai Wen was in the living room worrying helplessly and wondering why the other boy had not gone back yet. After some thought, she decided to remind him. She knocked three times on Ji Liaos room door then gripped the doorknob and realised that the door was locked.
Her expression darkened. He Cheng Ming came to open the door and immediately exined, Auntie, I identally locked the door earlier.
In her heart, Xu Ai Wen snorted. A mans mouth was a deceptive ghost. This saying applied to all ages.
She came in and saw Ji Liao sitting at his desk doing his homework. Looking around, she found nothing unusual, then said, Itste.
He Cheng Ming understood what she meant and said, Yes, Im just about to go back. The warm Meng family home was a sharp contrast to his cold and lonely home.
He Cheng Ming turned on the light and as he took off his clothes for a bath, he thought about how to get Ji Liao to live with him for two days.
The other boy really had him addicted and he wanted to be close to him all the time!
The following Saturday, He Cheng Ming found a private detective to investigate Gao Shengs whereabouts. ording to Lin Jiang, that son of a bitch had disappeared after the attempted molestation of Meng Yao Yao. But as long as he had not left the province, he would be able to find him.
On Sunday, Zhao Mei Lan called and asked him to go back to his family home.
He Cheng Ming originally didnt intend to go back. But he couldnt bear Zhao Mei Lans life-threatening calls, crying and making a fuss, so he went.
It was rare that He Yue Jin was home and he was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. He Cheng Ming fiddled with the keys in his hand and casually called out, Dad. He was about to go upstairs when He Yue Jin stopped him. Xiao Ming,e here.
He Cheng Ming stopped and saw Zhao Mei Lan being helped out by a housekeeper on the second floor. Her face was still pale but her eyes were beaming at him and telling him to go over to his father.
He Cheng Ming sat next to He Yue Jin. Now, he didnt need to pretend to be obedient and sat casually but with more vitality than usual. He looked up and asked, What is it?
It was only then he realised that He Yue Jin seemed to have aged considerably in a short period of time. His temples were covered with white hairs, and his ck hairs unexpectedly lesser.
He Yue Jin closed the newspaper and put it aside, then gave a general ount of thepanys recent situation. There was a trace of reluctance and urgency in his tone.
He Mu Sheng had monopolized the power and he was about to be usurped. But when he had checked up on He Cheng Ming previously, he discovered that he had also bought some He group stocks, adding up to 3%. If he was willing to give him this 3%, he would still be able to fight with He Mu Sheng.
When He Cheng Ming heard this, heughed. Dad, you must be senile. My money is still in the hands of my brother. How can I give it to you?!
He Yue Jins face tightened. If this was before, would this bastard have dared to say he was senile?! Although he was dissatisfied, he knew that he was now asking for help. So he coughed and said faintly, It belongs to you after all, so its quite normal to want it back.
What if I dont agree?
He crossed his legs looking like a ruffian making He Yue Jin so angry that he red. Unless you dont want your mother anymore!
He Cheng Ming let out an oh sound. Of course you would use Ms. Zhao to threaten me. But Ms. Zhao and I have already severed the mother-son rtionship. If you want to sever your rtionship with me, Ill go and change my family name when I leaveter.
He thought about it or he could just take Ji Liaos surname.
You dare! He Yue Jin stood up and pointed at him, his whole body trembling. How disgraceful, you unfilial son!
After he finished, he picked up the teacup from the table and shakily sipped from it to suppress his anger.
He Cheng Ming felt bored. Seeing that He Yue Jin was getting on in years, he sighed and advised earnestly, Dad, why is this necessary? My brothers surname is also He. Anyway, youll be passing the position on to him sooner orter. What does it matter if its a few years early? Isnt it good to retire with honour and enjoy old age?
If you dont get involved in the affairs of young people, wouldnt you have no problems?!
He Yue Jin stared at him with snake-like eyes. Dont you have the slightest interest in thepany?!
He Cheng Ming stood up. I really dont.
He felt, for the most part, that the reason Zhao Mei Lan had asked him toe today was because of this. It was a really annoying situation.
If theres nothing else, Im leaving.
Watching his younger son leave, He Yue Jin sagged back onto the sofa. He had been conceited his whole life. In the end, he had stuck himself in the hands of his two sons. He didnt know if he should be happy or sad.
After a long silence, probablycking the strength to reverse the desperate situation, or maybe aftering round, he called the legal department of thepany. From then on, he withdrewpletely from the board of directors and was no longer allowed to interfere in the affairs of thepany.
The legal department reported the news to He Mu Sheng, who immediately signed his name with a wave of his hand.
Jiang Qi heard the news from her father and immediately drove to the He group, leaving the car key with the parking valet. With energetic strides, she took the presidents dedicated elevator to the eighty-eighth floor and pushed open He Mu Shengs office door.
I want a divorce.
He Mu Shengs pen shook and he raised his head coldly. He saw his wife, whom he had been married to for over a year but wasnt very familiar with.
It was considered to be a business marriage. After the marriage, Jiang Qi continued with her studies abroad. Was she back after graduating now?
Why? He Mu Sheng put down his fountain pen and leaned back against the cushioned chair, sizing up the woman in front of him silently.
Oval face, big eyes, red lips and white teeth. Even jeans and a white T could look like branded goods on her, a trait worthy of a professional model.
He remembered that what she studied should have been rted to this.
Jiang Qi approached him, both arms folded across her chest with the imposing manner of a strong woman. Weve agreed on this previously to divorce once you sessfully upy the top position.
Actually, she was a little afraid of He Mu Sheng. This was the most serious man she had ever met, cold and expressionless. His face was very handsome but she couldnt stand his facial paralysis. The look in his eyes was very deep and severe, which made him frightening.
Chapter 75 - Do You Think Theres a Problem with Li Si Ran
Chapter 75 - Do You Think Theres a Problem with Li Si Ran
He Mu Sheng rapped his knuckles on the tabletop and reminded her, Our agreement is to divorce after three years unless you have someone you like?
At present, He Yue Jin stepping down was only known internally and it had not yet been announced to the outside world. As to whether or not the He groups share prices would drop after the announcement or if there would be any other changes, it was uncertain. Therefore, a divorce at this time obviously wasnt the best option. If it wasnt done properly, it could offend the Jiang family. Destroying the bridge after crossing the river and making enemies were the two taboos of the business world. He was a businessman and would not agree to do this.
But Jiang Qi was a headstrong girl. Just like initially, in order to enter the modelling industry, she had been willing to sign a confidentiality agreement when marrying He Mu Sheng. Now that she had finished her studies, she wanted her freedom back. After all, with the title of Mrs. He, it wasnt convenient to go anywhere.
Yes, I like a young guy, the little milk dog type, very cute.
She had a pair of expressive eyes. Without much makeup, her eyes were clever and sparkled when she mentioned little milk dog.
He Mu Sheng tugged at his tie with some irritation. After some quick weighing of pros and cons, he said with a frown, You can be with him but its best that you dont get photographed by the media. Also, no intimate contact.
He couldnt interfere with her feelings but he didnt want her to make him wear a green cap.
Jiang Qi looked at him in disbelief with an expression of what was this big brother saying on her face and said, You mean, Im allowed to cheat but only a tonic extramarital affair is allowed?!
Unexpectedly, this facial paralysis was quite fashionable. He deserved to be the president since his way of thinking was on the cutting edge of the West.
He Mu Sheng stood up and didnt want to answer, his heart resistant to this incident. As a man, could he tacitly agree to his wife cheating? Even though it was an arranged marriage, he couldnt do it. Possessiveness was ying a role.
Alright, lets eat togetherter. He forced the end of the subject and used their internal line to ask the secretary to book a restaurant, not giving Jiang Qi a chance to refuse.
Hey, I have something on in the evening. She protested immediately.
Without lifting an eyelid, He Mu Sheng only said two words, Postpone it.
Seeing that she still wanted to evade it, he said unhappily, If you still want to be together with that whatever dog, youd better be more obedient.
Jiang Qi wondered for a long time what dog he was referring to. Was it little milk dog? She couldnt help but roll her eyes and ridiculed under her breath, Old leader!
He Mu Sheng seemed to hear it and looked up at her, a dangerous glimmer in his eyes. What did you say?
Jiang Qi blinked and feigned innocence. Huh? I didnt say anything.
She wouldnt admit it even if she died.
He Mu Sheng didnt pursue it. After all, she was only twenty-four and very young, two generations away from him. Their industry focus was also different. There were constant changes in the entertainment circle and many messy issues. He couldnt learn it even if he wanted to...
Ill leave first. After you make reservations, send me the location.
As soon as Jiang Qi left, He Mu Sheng called the secretary in and asked him to check the men who had been close to Jiang Qi recently, especially those little milk dog types.
One would always feel uneasy about a wife wanting to cheat.
He Cheng Ming had gone back to school and resumed sses. The kids in ss two had missed him greatly.
The main reason was that the top student wasnt around and no one could solve the difficult problems in all the subjects. It was as if all the teachers were not having a harmonious sex life, showing resentment and scolding everyone all day.
Ming Ge, youre back!
It was the ss two monitor. Besides He Cheng Ming, he was the best student in ss two. During this period of He Cheng Mings absence, he was so stressed that he was almost constipated and even felt like a third of his hair had fallen out.
Finally, no need to drag out any more lessons!
The science teacher loved to put up questions just before ss was dismissed. If someone was able to answer it, the ss would be dismissed. If not, the lesson would be extended. Previously, He Cheng Ming was around everyone freeloaded off his light and had stable rest. Since He Cheng Ming had been absent for almost half a month, it had seemed like they were overstretched and their IQ wasnt enough. Lessons were extended until they couldnt think straight.
He Cheng Ming chuckled and looked like he was in a good mood. Passing by Lin Jiang, he patted the back of the boys head while his eyes seemed to be saying: Youre so great now, knowing how to plead for mercy from Ji Liao.
Lin Jiangs head shook and he looked up with a bitter expression on his face. He said worriedly, Ming Ge, do you think theres a problem with Li Si Ran?
He had asked her yesterday. She was clearly from a vocational high school, so why lie to him that she was from A high school? Li Si Ran had exined that she was afraid he would look down on her, so she lied. It sounded reasonable but he just felt like something wasnt right.
He Cheng Ming sat down and offered him a solution. Arent you quite close to Meng Yao Yao? Ask her.
With an IQ like Lin Jiangs, he wouldnt understand even after thinking about it for eight hundred years. Moreover, the behaviour of some girls couldnt be inferred frommon sense and only the same kind would understand them.
Lin Jiang pped himself on the forehead feeling that this method was reliable.
He thought of inviting Meng Yao Yao to eat lunch at that shop outside of school that He Mu Sheng had invested in. But his pockets were empty now and he had no choice but to drag He Cheng Ming, this free meal ticket, along. He Cheng Ming was going, so of course, Ji Liao would too. Meng Yao Yao brought Xu Xiao Jing and it instantly became a table of five.
Lin Jiang was a little embarrassed and roughly told the story, receiving strong feedback from the two girls.
You said her family background isnt good but she knew about Mi Ya ferry and even told you she wanted to go? Meng Yao Yao felt that this point was the most suspicious.
Whats Mi Ya ferry? Xu Xiao Jing asked while biting on her chopsticks.
See, people who werent in the upper ss of society didnt know what Mi Ya ferry was. She had only heard her dad mention that such a luxury ship was a paradise for young people.
I feel that its worth investigating the point that shes often on the phone with others. This is often a sign of cheating.
And on epting your huge sum of money, she only said that she would return it but didnt specify when. Isnt this a typical green tea bitch?!
The ce the two of you met also leaves much to be desired. That bar is quite messy right?
Xu Xiao Jing and Meng Yao Yao carried on the conversation, peeling off Li Si Rans skin, making Lin Jiang shiver as he listened.
Are there so many problems? He hadnt sensed anything before.
Just call the friend who had the birthday celebration. She was a student applying for such a job and it would have surely left an impression. Xu Xiao Jing said.
She was a good judge and was almost certain that Li Si Ran wasnt a good person. But she couldnt tell Lin Jiang directly foolish straight men had to discover the truth themselves before they could learn their lesson.
Sigh, she really felt bad about that ten thousand yuan.
Lin Jiang went out to make a phone call. His mood was a little indescribable, half guilty, half flustered.
Guilty because of his sudden suspicion of Li Si Ran and flustered because he was afraid that the things Xu Xiao Jing had told Meng Yao Yao were true.
The other side quickly epted the call and Lin Jiang only asked one thing, Where did you find the people for your birthday? His friend replied, Newly recruited by the bar and female students were specially requested. Theyre all very clean, dont worry. Lin Jiangs voice rose abruptly. What do you mean all very clean?
His friend paused. Never had any clients. Theyre all new. Do you mean to say that theyre prostitutes?
His friendughed. Not really. Anyway, you dont have to say it so harshly. As long as both parties are willing.
Lin Jiang hummed, only feeling extremely disgusted and threw his phone into the middle of the street, smashing it into pieces.
He came back in anger and the four of them could see the result by looking at his expression. It became instantly quiet and everyone ate with their heads down.
Lin Jiang was normally cheerful and unexpectedly, he was quite scary when angry. He was like a small volcano, ready to explode at any time.
After the meal, they left separately.
He Cheng Ming didnt interfere in his affairs but transferred a sum of money to him. Lin Jiang spent money recklessly and now, he had smashed his phone. He felt sad no matter how he looked at it.
He led Ji Liao back to school.
It was almost June. The weather was getting hotter and the sun more ring. The two of them went to the library for self-study as usual.
Ji Liao opened his mouth to recite concepts and reasons. The pile of things he had to memorize for liberal arts was really hollowing out his brain.
He Cheng Ming held a book helping to correct him. If he recited something wrongly, he had to ept a punishment which was to lean over for a kiss.
Ji Liao felt that it was too difficult and his political foundation was extremely difficult to pronounce. He had been stuck a few times and was forced to kiss him several times. The more they kiss, the more confused he was until He Cheng Mingughed softly and teased him, Baby, could it be intentional? Hmm?
Intentional my foot!
Ji Liao red at him and walked to the side to quietly review it again, smoothly memorizing it.
As expected, the other boys presence only served to affect his performance!
So, school bully He had been ordered not to speak and forbidden to disturb him.
He Cheng Ming nodded obediently and half slumped on the table looking at his wife, at his serious expression, his slightly open mouth and his burning eyes.
Gradually, his eyelids became heavy. He closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
It was very bright outside the window. When Ji Liao turned back, he saw that the boy was already asleep. So he took two steps forward and used his own shadow to block his face from the midday sun.
When it was almost time, Ji Liao walked back and saw the phone that the other boy had ced on the table light up showing that a text message hade in.
Only then did he realise that He Cheng Ming had used his photo as a lock screen. It was the one he had previously taken of himself in the ssroom. His heart felt a wave of warmth flow through it.
He secretly retreated two steps and turned on the camera function in his phone, also wanting to take a photo of the other boy to save. But as soon as he stepped away, his shadow followed and the brightness suddenly increased. He Cheng Ming frowned and opened his eyes in a daze.
Ji Liao quickly pressed the shutter button and the other boys grumpy andnguid appearance was captured on his phone.
He Cheng Mingughed, raised his head and said to him, Secretly taking photos of me?
Ji Liao was a little shy at being caught red-handed but on second thought, they were in love. Why couldnt he take photos?! So he openly took a few more photos, then walked back with satisfaction.
He Cheng Ming circled his waist and asked in a hoarse voice, Does it look good?
Not bad. Ji Liao chose one to set as his lock screen, the corner of his lips quirking.
He Cheng Ming was amused by his arrogant appearance and buried his head in his stomach.
Ji Liao let out a tut sound so he wouldnt cause trouble as they were in the library, then reminded him, You received a message on your phone earlier.
He Cheng Ming checked and saw that it was from the private detective he hadmissioned before. Gao Sheng had been found.
Chapter 76 - You Guys Fucking Beat Him Up!
Chapter 76 - You Guys Fucking Beat Him Up!
Toward evening, the twilight was warm but it couldnt dispel the chill from the youths body.
With both hands in his pockets, He Cheng Ming walked on the street with a frosty expression.
ording to the messages from the private detective, Gao Sheng was currently working as an apprentice in a private car repair shop. There was also free family background information attached. Gao Shengs only grandmother had passed away half a month ago.
Meaning the reason as to why Gao Sheng had be so daring was that his rtive was dead.
There was indifference in He Cheng Mings eyes. His determination to break the boys legs was still entirely unmoved. Since he had done it, he had to bear the consequences. Otherwise, wouldnt it mean that he was very easily bullied?!
The corner at the end of the street soon led to the dirty garage.
Gao Sheng was very thin and wearing a racerback tank top. He was squatting beside a Chery QQ attaching screws while cursing, Damn it, exploiting me. So fucking little money for working ten hours a day sooner orter, Ill leave this dump!
After that, he gripped the handle, pressing again and again, finally attaching thest screw.
He was so tired that he sat on the ground and wiped his sweaty forehead with a hand, leaving a ck mark.
After he escaped from molesting Meng Yao Yao, he came to this repair shop as an apprentice. It was eighty yuan a day and the food and amodation were eptable. Anyway, it was better to stay first then to have nowhere to settle down.
When he thought of the moment he had almost raped Meng Yao Yao, Gao Sheng was both fearful and reflective at the same time.
At that time, he had been muddled in the brain by his lower body and didnt know how it had started. The more she struggled, the most excited he was. Like a pervert, he had a strange pleasure and wanted to use brute force to conquer the person in front of him.
If not for the meddlesome woman who suddenly appeared, he surely would have done Meng Yao Yao!
He had already nned it out at that time. After he was done with her, he would buy a bus ticket and leave since he was alone. Wherever he went, that would be home and there would be no other burden. How refreshing.
Gao Sheng picked up the water next to him and lifted his head for a drink. From the corner of his eye, he saw the beautiful woman who came to pick up the car. She was wearing hot pants and a camisole crop top, drawing his eyes straight to her.
After she drove away, he came back to his senses and said nastily, So fucking sexy!
Gao Sheng stood up and stretched. A familiar person walked into his line of sight. His legs suddenly softened and he quickly supported himself on the Chery QQ beside him.
He Cheng Ming had a cold look in his eyes. In his hand, he was dragging an abandoned iron bar which he had just picked up from the roadside. He approached step by step and his expression seemed to be saying: You. Are. Dead.
Gao Shengs heart thumped and he looked behind. It was a wall and there was no way out.
There was a shadow in his heart toward He Cheng Ming. Before he was beaten, his internal organs seemed to start aching and he immediately uttered to stop him, Wait a moment, Ming Ge. Ming Ge, I was wrong. Please forgive me, Ming Ge.
He knelt down with a plop and crawled to He Cheng Mings feet like a dog, then hugged his pants leg pleading.
He Cheng Ming felt he was dirty and kicked him away with one foot.
Gao Sheng endured the insult and crawled over to kowtow. While kowtowing and crying, he said, Ming Ge, I really know that I was wrong. I wont dare to do it again. Please be merciful and forgive me this time.
He Cheng Ming sneered, his palm pressed against the iron bar, and leaned over to look at him. Forgive you? So I came here today for a joyride? Gao Sheng kowtowed desperately, his face low and full of unrestrained hostility but he gritted his teeth, telling himself to bear it once more.
Dont worry, I only want a leg of yours.
Apanying the words, Gao Sheng caught sight of the iron bar beside him leaving the ground. He was suddenly very flustered. Not caring whether he was able to beat him, he took up the wrench and waved it at the person in front of him.
He Cheng Ming dodged quickly, then let the iron bar fall onto his back with a heavy thud.
Gao Shengs face twisted with pain and he fell against the car, triggering the car rm which immediately started ringing. Taking advantage of He Cheng Mings frown, he threw the wrench at him and ran.
There were many cars here. Twisting and turning, Gao Sheng quickly lost him and hid in a garbage can in the back alley of the garage.
His heart thumped violently. Gao Sheng hid for three hours before he dared toe out. Seeing that He Cheng Ming had left, he was relieved. Then he cursed, Damn it, not even giving any way to survive? Okay, if you want me to die, Ill drag you to die together with me!
Instead of returning to the garage, he went out for a meal.
The wrench that he had thrown at He Cheng Ming earlier had hit the car behind him. The repairs for that car would cost at least ten thousand yuan. If he went back now, he would die!
When it was night, it gradually grew darker.
Gao Sheng sneaked back. This time, he pried open the door of the finance department and took away tens of thousands of yuan from inside.
Before he left, he looked at the security camera in the corner and arrogantly raised his middle finger at it.
He had decided to use this money to look for some thugs, beat He Cheng Ming up violently, then buy a train ticket to somewhere and leave.
Damn it, he would make the other boy kneel and beg him for mercy!
Gao Sheng thought firmly, his eyes almost shooting fire.
He knew many people in themunity and they were all idle youths. With ttering words and some money, they were very willing to do this with him.
After all, it was only beating someone up. As long as they didnt beat the person up until they were crippled or dead, they would be in the police station for a few days at most, then be quickly released. It was of no consequence to them. After all, it was a ce they were in often.
The next morning, a group of people were squatting on a street not far away from the campus.
When He Cheng Ming alighted, someone stepped up immediately, reaching out to push his shoulder but he twisted his body to avoid it.
The youth let out a yo sound and there was surprise in his eyes which looked him up and down. This boy is quite arrogant. He Cheng Ming ignored him and took a step to leave but his path was again blocked by the other boy.
The youth let out a disgustingugh. Didnt you want to get even with Gao Sheng? I know where he is.
He Cheng Mings lips lifted slightly and he looked at him coldly, spitting out, Get lost.
He was in a very bad mood today. Last night, that dog, Gao Sheng had run from him and wasted two hours of his time. But, how far could he run? No matter how far he ran, he would be able to find him. There was no need to worry.
But the youth was impatient. His task was to bring him over. If he couldnt do even this, he would really be embarrassed.
So he started to use his fists on He Cheng Ming, wanting to beat him up until he became humble, then force him there. He didnt expect that the other boy was, just as he appeared, not to be trifled with. He hadnt been able to hit him before his own hands were pinned down.
Oh, hey, it hurts. Bro, big bro, be gentle. The youth asked for mercy.
He Cheng Ming lifted a long leg and kicked him hard in the stomach. The youth was kicked aside and fell t onto his face.
This action wasnt small and attracted the attention of many students in the area.
The young man held his waist as he stood back up. He was embarrassed and immediately muttered, Whatre you looking at? Looking for a beating?! With that, he raised his fists and scared away a few students.
He Cheng Ming passed him and heard him shout, Are you fucking afraid to go?
Seeing his steps falter, the youth felt that there was a chance, so he said fiercely, If youre afraid to die, just say so. Daddy wouldntugh at you haha...
Before he could finish, He Cheng Ming threw his schoolbag and hit him in the face.
The young man staggered back two steps from the force of gravity and was about to start scolding when he saw the other boye over. He turned and ran while provoking him, If you have the guts, thene. See if Daddy wouldnt beat you up until youre looking for your teeth on the ground!
His tone was very arrogant.
He Cheng Ming picked up his schoolbag. He saw Lin Jiang who had just gotten out of a private car and threw it to him. Help me bring it to ss. Lin Jiang was puzzled. Ming Ge, where are you going? ss is starting soon! Help me to ask for leave.
He Cheng Ming rolled up his sleeves as he walked and rotated his neck. He hadnt exercised his muscles for a long time.
Of course, he knew that the boy was deliberately luring him over. He had originally felt that it wasnt urgent and wanted to let that son of a bitch be free for another two days. But since he was eager to die, he wasnt to me for the impoliteness.
After crossing the street, the road became secluded.
What caught his eye was a row of five or six youths lined up in a row with cigarettes in their mouths, blowing out smoke and staring at him.
He Cheng Ming scanned them and didnt see Gao Sheng.
One of the youths asked in a low voice, Bro, should we still wait for Sheng Ge? Why dont we start first? Another replied, Lets wait a while.
They had only received half of the money. What if Gao Sheng didnt keep his promise and run off? They would even have provided a free beating.
After a short while, Gao Sheng came back. He had bought the ticket and was ready to leave immediately after beating him up!
Seeing He Cheng Ming, a malicious smile appeared on Gao Shengs face and he sneered, Ming Ge, Im sure you didnt expect that I would dare to appear in front of you.
When he finished, he gave the leader a meaningful look. Five or six of them stood up immediately and surrounded He Cheng Ming.
Yes, it was unexpected. He Cheng Ming said an indifferent expression on his face without any trace of fear.
Damn it. Gao Sheng was most annoyed by this expression. He waved a hand and several youths rushed in.
An extendable steel rod was taken out and used to impolitely greet the tall youth. The youth was nimble and immediately kicked it away quickly and ruthlessly, stunning the few who were nearby to see it.
He Cheng Ming squatted down and took the steel rod that he had kicked away from the other boy, his eyes bing icy.
You guys fucking beat him up! Gao Sheng was worrying helplessly from the sidelines.
The youths hadnt hesitated to take the money. If all of them tried their best, no matter how well the other boy could fight, he couldnt do one against six!
But gradually, they realised that something was wrong and became timid.
All the other boy had to do was catch one and hit the target urately and ruthlessly until they couldnt move.
How could there be such a thing?!
The youths took one look at the brothers spitting blood on the ground, and swallowed, then retreated. No one wanted to be the next one.
He Cheng Ming also had a wound on his face but was now in a frenzy and approaching them one step at a time.
After a mutual stare-off, the youths threw down their extendable steels rods and ran. Damn it, their lives were more important!
Chapter 77 - I Thought You Dont Know How to Cook?
Chapter 77 - I Thought You Dont Know How to Cook?
Gao Sheng fled, running after the youths.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman appeared in front of him and Gao Sheng stopped immediately. He saw the womans lips curve into a cold smile, and she lifted a long leg, kicking him hard in the chest.
There was no time to dodge. Gao Sheng was kicked to the ground and the cash in his pocket spilt out.
Jiang Qi withdrew her leg coolly and apuded herself internally. Hey, not bad. This side kick was perfect. She had lived up to her Taekwondo red belt.
She had been buying a drink on the street when she had been bumped into by Gao Sheng, who had been walking by with his head down. He didnt apologise and her anger red up instantly. She was about to teach him a lesson when she recognised him as the criminal who had molested the girl the other day!
So she secretly followed him and witnessed a one-sided beating.
Gao Sheng let out a shout and raised a hand to rub at his injured chest. Seeing the bills scattered around him, he anxiously picked up the money and shoved them into his pocket. Then he recognised Jiang Qi. Its you again! Fuck, youre a meddlesome woman.
He spat and tried to get up quickly but he saw a long stick sh past, followed closely by a pain in his lower leg. Gao Shengs eyes widened and he raised his head, crying out in pain. Ah
He seemed to hear the sound of breaking bones and his forehead was covered in sweat, his eyes nearly bulging out of its sockets.
He Cheng Ming had walked over and he used the base of the stick to tap it on his other leg. He was about to raise it for a swing when he was stopped by Jiang Qi who frowned and said, Kid, if you continue, it wouldnt be easy to report to the police.
Jiang Qi felt that the youth in front of her was a little familiar but couldnt remember where she had seen him from until he called out to her, Sister-inw. Jiang Qi was stunned and she lost control of her expression. Sis..sister-inw?
This youth was He Mu Shengs younger brother?
What was his younger brothers name?
Jiang Qi immediately tried to recall but her memory was average. She only remembered going to the He house a few times and being hosted by Mrs. He who had mentioned that she had a son named Xiao Ming!
Right, Xiao Ming!
Jiang Qi gave He Cheng Ming a fitting smile and said, Hello Xiao Ming. After all, she had signed the contract and had to be in the spirit of it, so she greeted him like a sister-inw.
He Cheng Ming: ...
His nickname was only used by He Yue Jin and Zhao Mei Lan. Even He Mu Sheng seldom used it. Now, it had strangelye out from the mouth of a fourth person. Moreover, it was his sister-inw, so he was suddenly a little deted.
Well, let me called the police first.
The scene was a little embarrassing. Jiang Qi touched her nose, walking aside to call the police station and tell them about the general situation.
She finished reporting to the police and came back. As his sister-inw, she should show him some concern.
So she coughed and said, Xiao Ming, are you hurt? By the way, why are you fighting here? Dont you have ss today? He Cheng Ming lifted a hand to touch the wound on his face and looked at her askance, saying, It was a sudden situation. Jiang Qi gave an indifferent oh. Anyway, she was justpleting her task of being a sister-inw. The two of them waited until the police came.
Next to him, Gao Sheng gritted his teeth and tried to move his leg. He found that even moving it a little caused his calf to spasm with pain. At the same time, he heard Jiang Qi mention the police and his heart turned as cold as a cier.
He was finished.
The cash in his pocket was stolen. He was dead merely based on this fact.
Gao Sheng red at Jiang Qi with hatred. It was all because of this woman. If not for her meddling, he would have gotten Meng Yao Yao long ago! Plus, what happened just now...
Gao Shengs eyes were red and his right hand quietly touched the steel rod, picking it up. With all his strength, he swung it ruthlessly toward Jiang Qi. Bitch, its all because of you!
Apanying the roar of the male voice, He Cheng Ming saw the long shadow from the corner of his eye and reacting quickly, he lifted an arm to block the rod.
To the naked eye, the rod bent. After Jiang Qis shock, she angrily kicked away the stick in Gao Shengs hand. Slightly annoyed that she had let her guard down, she asked He Cheng Ming, How is it? Are you okay?
He Cheng Ming cradled his trembling arm and bit his lip. Seeking revenge, he raised his right leg and his shoended on Gao Shengs broken leg. He stepped on it hard and twisted his foot. Gao Sheng was in such pain that he screamed out involuntarily, Ahh...Ming Ge...Dad...
The police soon arrived and seeing the scene in a terrible mess with wounded people, they called 120.
Before they arrived, He Cheng Ming had withdrawn his leg. Seeing his forearm quickly swelling, the area around it turning red and ck, he clenched his fist enduring it silently.
What happened? Who called the police? The police came over to question.
Me. Jiang Qi followed him to make the report and on the way there, she called He Mu Sheng. The remaining people were taken to the hospital to treat their injuries.
One hourter.
He Cheng Mings left hand was diagnosed to have a mild fracture.
When he heard the news, He Mu Sheng rushed over with a suit jacket in his hand. He hurriedly stepped into the hospital room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the nurse bandaging He Cheng Ming.
He flung the jacket onto a chair and pulled off his tie, asking impatiently, Why were you with Jiang Qi?
He Mu Sheng had never imagined that one day, he would hear from Jiang Qis mouth that his younger brother was injured.
He Cheng Ming was a little annoyed. There was no issue originally. When he finished fighting, he could still to go to ss. Who knew his sister-inw would appear in the midst and that he would get a fracture.
He had just left the hospital a few days ago and hadnt expected to fuckinge in again! He had such bad luck this year and didnt know how he had offended the gods.
Shes your wife. Why dont you ask her?
He had just finished speaking when Jiang Qi appeared at the hospital room door. She came directly to the hospital after finishing her report at the police station.
Xiao Ming, is your arm okay?
Unable to look at He Mu Sheng, Jiang Qi stared directly at He Cheng Mings arm, looking left and right. After all, he had injured himself because of her and she hoped there wouldnt be any major problems.
The intimate nickname of Xiao Ming made He Mu Sheng arch his eyebrow and ponder over when the rtionship between the two of them had gotten so close.
He Cheng Ming let out a fakeugh. Sister-inw, my hand is alright.
With that, he took out his phone with the other hand and tapped on it to check the time. It was eleven-thirty and almost time for sses to end.
School bully He thought about it over and over, and systematically reported the entire situation to Ji Liao via a voice message. He Mu Sheng listened beside him and waited until his arm was settled before driving him home.
Your arm is now injured and it would be better to return to the family home. Therell be people to look after you there. He Mu Sheng persuaded.
No need. He Cheng Ming refused.
If he went back, Zhao Mei Lan would overdo it and annoy him to death.
Right then, Jiang Qi interrupted, I have some time recently. Want me to look after Xiao Ming?
She had just returned to the country and intended to rest for a while before starting work, so she was free during this period. Moreover, He Cheng Ming had gotten injured from protecting her, so logically, she should help to look after him.
Inside the car, it fell silent.
He Mu Shengs fingers were lightly tapping the steering wheel. Then he turned his head to nce at He Cheng Ming. After some checking, he had found out that little milk dog referred to someone young, clingy, with a sunny and cute personality. It shouldnt have anything to do with his long-faced younger brother, right?!
What do you think? He Mu Sheng asked He Cheng Ming.
No need. Ill ask Ji Liao toe over. If a woman was being shoved into his house, what kind of situation would that be?
He Mu Sheng nodded and didnt continue the conversation.
Just as He Cheng Ming reached hismunity, Ji Liao saw the message and immediately called him. He smiled and picked up, saying lightly, Baby, youve finished sses? Ji Liaos voice was worried and he asked urgently, How did you suddenly bump into Gao Sheng? Is your arm injury serious? Can you move it? He Cheng Ming went upstairs and opened the door, going inside. He changed his footwear andy down on the sofa, deliberately saying, Its quite serious. I cant move it. Ji Liao was even more worried when he heard and hurried out of the ssroom to a quiet ce. Then what are you going to do? Isnt your moming over to take care of you?
I didnt tell her. He Cheng Mings tone waszy, then with a snort, he added, Just scaring you. Actually, its not that serious. He could never stop himself from teasing the other boy.
Ji Liao didnt believe him. Then take a photo and let me see it. He Cheng Ming took a photo of his well-bandaged arm and sent it over.
Isnt this serious?!!! Ji Liao was angry and distressed, raising his voice to say, Are you trying to deceive me?!
He Cheng Ming sat up unconsciously. He had been really scared by thest deceiving incident and said immediately, How could I deceive you? Its really okay. If you dont believe me, thene over after school to check?
Ji Liao had originally wanted to do so and agreed immediately. After exchanging some words, they hung up.
He was distracted during his afternoon lessons and was just waiting for the bell to go off before he grabbed his schoolbag and left.
After he exined the situation to Xu Ai Wen at the school gate, he took a taxi to He Cheng Mingsmunity.
Nearby, there was a supermarket where Ji Liao bought some ingredients. He knew that the other boy surely had not eaten and he couldnt cook with only one arm, so he decided that he would cook something.
He had secretly learned some cooking from Xu Ai Wen. Although it wasnt very good, it was still okay and edible.
Ji Liao carried the ingredients to the door. He Cheng Ming softened as soon as he saw him. His appearance waspletely different from that of the fiercely fighting one from this morning and even his voice became gentler. Baby, hug.
He reached out with one arm while the other hung snugly at his chest and he looked to be doing okay.
Careful, your arm.
Ji Liao felt that the other boys condition was not suitable for hugging at the moment, so he firmly rejected it and brought the ingredients to the kitchen.
He Cheng Ming followed behind like his little tail and asked with a smile, Baby, I thought you dont know how to cook? He remembered Ji Liao previously mentioning that he had never cooked.
I learned.
As Ji Liao spoke, he took everything out of the bag, putting some of them into the refrigerator and leaving some of them to be washedter. Wheres the rice? He turned to ask.
He Cheng Ming walked over to open the rice cab, then looked at him with the hint of a smile. Learned for me?
Chapter 78 - Your Wife has Taken a Fancy to my Wife
Chapter 78 - Your Wife has Taken a Fancy to my Wife
Ji Liao bit his lip and didnt answer him.
Scooping adle of rice, he washed it and put it into the rice cooker. He found the chopping board and cut the raw meat into small pieces.
He Cheng Ming leaned on the edge, watching Ji Liaos handling style with indescribable feelings. It was the same daily necessities, but when he himself handled them, he felt nothing. Why was it when the other boy handled them, it felt like it was full of the delights of life?
Why dont you go outside to rest? Ji Liao turned and saw the wounded still standing there and began to chase him away.
He Cheng Ming said proudly, Dont want to.
His smiling eyes followed Ji Liao around. As Ji Liao washed the vegetables, he said anxiously, Im walking around. What if I bump into you?
Moreover, his true nature would be revealed once he had to use the hot potter. Actually, he wasnt that proficient in cooking.
That wouldnt happen. He Cheng Ming said confidently, helping to hand over the ingredients at the right time.
When the washing up was done, Ji Liao wiped his hands and turned to look at him, saying shyly, Lower your head a little. He Cheng Ming stared at him with a smile on his lips and seemed to have guessed what he was up to. He bent over slightly with his chin slightly lifted.
Ji Liao went closer to kiss him on the mouth, then said softly, Go wait outside.
Okay. He Cheng Ming had been hooked until he lost his head. He licked his lips and went outside satisfied.
Ji Liao immediately opened a cooking app on his phone and looked it over before starting. After all, it was the first time he was cooking for the other boy and hoped that he would be at least slightly sessful.
In the living room, He Cheng Ming turned on some light music and his mood lifted with the graceful tune. He saw a sweatshirt on the sofa and picked it up to throw it into the washing machine.
Li Jiao prepared three dishes and a soup, secretly tasting it before carrying them out. The taste was alright and he felt his heart fill with happiness.
He nced towards the living room. He Cheng Ming was burrowed in the sofa reading a book, so he called out, We can eat now.
He Cheng Ming threw aside his book, walked to the dining table and sniffed. Ji Liao brought two rice bowls out. Without any hesitation, he said tteringly, Baby, youre so capable. It must be very delicious.
Ji Liao smiled while ring at him. You havent even eaten it.
He Cheng Ming sat down and regretted slightly that his injured arm was his left one. If it was his right arm, he could enjoy the other boy feeding him.
Ji Liao attentivelydled a bowl of pork bone broth. It was said that there was an equivalence between what you ate and what you benefited from, so bone should mend a bone fracture.
Once he had filled the bowl, he ced thedle in front of He Cheng Ming and asked, How is Gao Sheng now? The two of them had fought. It couldnt have just been He Cheng Ming that had gotten injured. Based on his temper, Gao Sheng was perhaps in a worse condition.
Ah. He Cheng Ming opened his mouth, wanting Ji Liao to feed him.
Ji Liaoughed and said softly, Great young master. He picked up the soup bowl and scooped a small spoonful, delivering it to his mouth.
He Cheng Ming kept it in his mouth, curved his eyes, then said happily, Its really good, baby. Then drink more.
Ji Liaos heart ached for him and he wanted to take care of him as much as he could, so he continued coaxing and feeding him.
When He Cheng Ming was able to, he opened his mouth to talk about Gao Sheng. He stole forty thousand yuan from somewhere so he should be sentenced to three or four years.
This was what Jiang Qi had told him. The police had only received the report after they had been dispatched. Unexpectedly, they arrived and caught the person. Forty thousand yuan was a huge amount and had to be dealt with ording to thew, which meant three or four years of detention or supervision.
Ji Liao was a little shocked. He stole money?
Then he quietened down. After all, the boy was a student. Although he was arrogant and bossy, he was still young. He was only seventeen and had to go to prison. What would he do in the future?
Ji Liao was slightly sympathetic but he deeply understood that whether it was a momentary slip or a step in the wrong direction, it was a path that Gao Sheng had chosen. Nobody had forced him and basically, he had only a superficial awareness of thew.
Yes.
He Cheng Ming lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice. He reckoned that with thatst foot from him, he had probably dislocated his bone. If he didnt have the money to recuperate, he would be crippled for life.
He didnt feel like he was being merciless, just that the other boy was guilty and deserved to be punished.
I want some more. He Cheng Ming handed the empty bowl to Ji Liao.
Ji Liao got up and went to the kitchen to refill his rice bowl. Coming out, he said worriedly, If you cant eat anymore, you dont have to. He was afraid that the other boy was forcing himself to eat just to tter him. If he werent able to handle it, it wouldnt be worth it.
He Cheng Ming looked at him andughed, saying, Baby, Im really hungry.
In all honesty, he had a fight in the morning and whatever that was in his stomach had long since been digested. He had spent the afternoon in the hospital and had been toozy to move when he got back, waiting for Ji Liao toe over. This was the first hot meal he had eaten that day.
Then eat. Ji Liao enthusiastically put some vegetables in his bowl.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
The two of them were startled. He Cheng Mings first thought: it cant be Zhao Mei Lan, right?
He frowned and his eyes indicated for Ji Liao not to worry. Pulling aside his chair, He Cheng Ming went to the front door and nced through the peephole. Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Qi.
He was slightly annoyed and really didnt want to open the door. From where he was, Ji Liao asked carefully, Is it your mother?
No, its my sister-inw.
After saying that, He Cheng Ming twisted the handle and the door opened.
Jiang Qi looked very cool when she wasnt smiling, but looked very gentle when she did. Seeing He Cheng Ming, she asked instantly with a smile, Xiao Ming, have you eaten?
From He Mu Sheng, she knew that He Cheng Ming lived alone. Jiang Qi could notprehend how he could cook with an injured arm. Takeout was too unhealthy so she had specially asked the auntie from her home to prepare some dishes for He Cheng Ming.
When she came in, she saw two pairs of male shoes and their sizes were obviously different. Jiang Qi looked up and saw Ji Liao at the dining table.
Oh, its you. She was surprised and never thought she would see this boy again.
Ji Liao was stunned, then he recognised her.
He Cheng Ming cast a puzzled look at him. Ji Liao said softly, Shes the Jiejie that saved Meng Yao Yao at that time. That was a coincidence. He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Qi changed her footwear and came inside. She looked at the dishes on the table. So youre already eating. Then lets just add some dishes. She opened the thermos container and brought out the hot food.
He Cheng Ming sat down and said nothing. Because of her status, it wasnt good for him to chase her away.
Jiang Qi had originally nned to put the food down and leave, but she couldnt move once she saw Ji Liao. She liked this type of boy who looked cute and obedient, causing her to have a protective feeling.
Whats your name, Didi? Jiang Qi sat down, propped her chin up and looked at him with eyes full of interest.
Ji Liao reported his name and thought to himself, this was the wife of He Cheng Mings brother? It felt weird.
Ji Liao. Jiang Qi repeated, then asked, Is it the Liao from the word Liao Kuo?
Yes. Ji Liao replied.
Jiang Qiughed, unable to hold back the restlessness in her heart and was about to ask more questions when He Cheng Ming suddenly said, I forgot to introduce him. This is my boyfriend.
He looked at Ji Liao, then turned his gaze to Jiang Qi with a hint that he was dering sovereignty.
Jiang Qi was confused for a moment and hadnt expected the two of them to be in this kind of rtionship. She thought they were just ssmates!
She was a little sad as she had finally found, with difficulty, someone who met her requirements.
However, Jiang Qi smiled and cheerfully reached out to Ji Liao. Hello, Im your sister-inw.
Without waiting for Ji Liao to move, He Cheng Ming said in a hard voice, Its not necessary to shake hands. I dont like my boyfriend to have excessive contact with other people.
He looked at Jiang Qi coldly as he spoke. Her intentions were too obvious. Was she trying to seduce the other boy in front of him?! Even if she was He Mu Shengs wife, he couldnt endure it!
Jiang Qi was scared by his look and instantly withdrew her hand. It was no wonder that this was He Mu Shengs brother. They were both as scary.
Was a handshake considered too much contact? She muttered in a low voice.
Ji Liao sensed that He Cheng Ming was angry so he didnt say anything.
He Cheng Ming was extremely annoyed. With just a meal, a love rival had appeared. He started to regret helping Jiang Qi to block that blow. He got up and went to the balcony to call He Mu Sheng, his tone harsh, Your wife has taken a fancy to my wife. Come and take her away quickly!
Taking advantage of He Cheng Mings absence, Jiang Qi immediately took out her phone and put it in front of Ji Liao, saying resourcefully, Didi, save your contact information.
She was very likely to be kicked out soon.
Ji Liao felt like he was in a difficult position but under her expectant eyes, he was unable to refuse. After all, she was the one who had saved Meng Yao Yao and was also He Cheng Mings sister-inw.
He keyed in his phone number.
Jiang Qi saved it excitedly, then kept the phone.
He Cheng Ming came in and told her bluntly, My brother is preparing toe over.
Jiang Qi was a brave girl and ignored his hint, saying, Okay, then Ill wait for him.
She could stay for a while longer!
With her wishful thoughts, she brought up another topic of conversation and asked about Meng Yao Yao, Ji Liao, is your sister okay? When a girl encountered something like that, it would always create some shadows.
Ji Liao replied, Yes, shes fine.
But it was obvious that Meng Yao Yao wasnt as lively as before.
He wanted to ask if Jiang Qi had any way to relieve this type of psychological trauma but didnt.
Jiang Qi was very smart and immediately said knowingly, You can do some psychological counselling for your sister to help her out of her closed-off state. When she was studying abroad, she had volunteered in simr situations, helping girls who had suffered psychological trauma.
Ji Liao was interested in the topic and asked, So how do I do psychological counselling?
If you need help, you can contact me. Jiang Qi winked at him.
He Cheng Ming couldnt continue watching and mmed his chopsticks onto the table, scaring the two of them.
Ji Liao immediately looked at his injured arm and said unhappily, Dont make such big movements. What if you pull at your injury?! He Cheng Ming thought to himself, he was already about to explode. What did he care about his injury?!
I dont want to eat anymore. He started to throw a small tantrum.
Ji Liao found it funny and said in a coaxing voice, Okay, then dont eat. He stood up to clear the dishes.
Jiang Qis eyes bounced between the two of them and felt that He Mu Shengs brother was quite cute in an opposing quality way. He looked fierce but was actually cute, especially when he was unable to vent the anger that he had.
Chapter 79 - But I Want to Fall in Love!
Chapter 79 - But I Want to Fall in Love!
Let me handle it, okay? She said attentively.
Unconsciously, she had taken on the role of elder sister-inw. How could she let a guest do a household chore?
Ji Liao turned to look at her in surprise feeling that she was the guest instead, and said hurriedly, No need. I can do it. With that, he blushed slightly and turned to carry the dishes into the kitchen.
Jiang Qi looked at the tall and lean figure, and her heart went wild. A little milk dog who could cook and was even responsible for washing the dishes. He waspletely her ideal type! When Ji Liaos figure disappeared, she withdrew her gaze. Sitting down with He Cheng Ming, they looked at each other in consternation.
Jiang Qi flipped her hair in a sort of fearless sister manner.
He Cheng Ming looked at her and sneered. Isnt it inappropriate for Da Sao to be doing this?
If she wanted to cheat, then cheat, but to have eyes on her Di Xi? He was extremely jealous and didnt want anyone else to be checking Ji Liao out!
His phone rang with a call from He Mu Sheng who had just arrived downstairs. He looked at the caller ID and picked up. Before he could speak, Jiang Qis voice rang out. Whats wrong? Anyway, Im going to divorce your brother soon. When that happens, I have the right to pursue anyone.
He Mu Sheng stepped into the elevator with his phone clutched tightly. His face turned pale and he hung up the phone.
The doorbell rang. He Cheng Ming sent Jiang Qi a look that said good luck and went to open the door.
After He Mu Sheng had been forced to break up with someone who was in his heart, he had been very restrained in his feelings, regardless of happiness or anger. Now, because of his contract wifes words, he was seething with anger and felt extremely vexed by this woman!
Not leaving? His voice was a little loud andced with thinly veiled anger.
Jiang Qi was afraid of him and stood up immediately. While changing her footwear, she called out toward the kitchen, Ji Liao, Jiejie is going off first. The tail-end of the statement seemed to carry a tantalising hint and made He Mu Sheng even angrier. He urged, Hurry up.
Ji Liao heard and stuck his head out with his hands still wet. He saw He Mu Sheng and greeted him, then saw He Mu Sheng pull Jiang Qi away firmly.
Your brother seems a little angry. He said, puzzled.
He Cheng Ming mmed the door shut then turned to walk toward him. Do you think Im angry?
Ji Liao looked at him carefully and finally concluded, A little it seems. As he said that, he even held up his fingers in an action to indicate a tiny bit and shed a brilliant smile.
Stillughing? He Cheng Ming was annoyed and angry with an appearance of wanting to eat someone up. It scared Ji Liao into the kitchen and he said evasively, Im not done with washing the dishes.
He Cheng Ming caught him from behind, wanting to pull him into his embrace. But Ji Liao was worried about the injured arm hanging in front of his chest. He avoided it carefully, the two of them darting here and there like a cat and mouse.
After a while, Ji Liao begged for mercy and grabbed the other boys arm, saying, Ill wash the dishes first, then pacify youter, okay? He Cheng Ming snorted haughtily and bent to bring his face closer. He said solemnly, Then let me have some dessert first. Ji Liao kissed him and pushed him out.
Jiang Qi shivered. She didnt know what was wrong with the man beside her today the aura around his body was ten thousand times colder than usual!
The enclosed elevator gave her an inexplicable sense of pressure. She was irritated and felt like she should say something.
Well, have you thought about it? About the divorce.
Thest time they ate together, He Mu Sheng said that if she really had someone she liked, he would seriously consider the divorce.
Youve taken a fancy to Ji Liao? The man asked her.
Jiang Qi nodded shyly. Yes, as Ive told you, I like little milk dogs.
Actually, she had just mentioned it casually thest time. She hadnt expected to really encounter someone like that!
He Mu Sheng turned his head to look at her and his tone suddenly became cold. Ji Liao already has a boyfriend. Do you want to be the third party?!
He really couldnt understand what Jiang Qi was thinking. What was wrong with being his wife? He was sessful in his career, rich and good-looking and she had to go and like a high school student?!
Jiang Qi objected, I can wait for them to break up. As the saying goes, there is no corner that cant be excavated, only azy...
Shut up!
When the elevator arrived on the first floor, He Mu Sheng strode out. Jiang Qi was stunned by his fierce outburst and she followed him out only after a few seconds.
Im serious. Ji Liao meets all my requirements for a dating partner. I must sessfully pursue him. She added.
He Mu Sheng suddenly turned and warned, Youre married.
But I want to fall in love! Jiang Qi shrieked loudly, ignoring herdy-like upbringing. Taking advantage of He Mu Shengs dumbfoundedness, she ran in front of him and blocked his path. We have a fake marriage, not a real one! Im twenty-four years old and havent been in love once! So I have to get divorced this year. I want to date!
He Mu Sheng didnt speak for a long time. The water at the base of his eyes quivered, his gaze locked tightly on the small woman in front of him.
Actually, she wasnt considered small. At 172cm tall, she would already be considered eye-catching among women, but because she had a babyface, she looked particrly cute.
The height of a strong, powerful woman and the face of a cute girl this was the type that many men reportedly liked, jus that He Mu Sheng didnt know if he was among them.
Hello, you cant be interested in me, can you? Jiang Qis hair was standing on end from being red at, and the thought suddenly popped into her head.
But in the next second, she was relieved. Sorry, I forgot. You have someone in your heart.
He Mu Sheng had someone in his heart that he couldnt have. She knew about this the two of them had met when they were in university and they were together for three to four years. They were very loving but had been broken up by He Yue Jin. It was said that the girl had epted He Yue Jins money and went abroad to study, leading to their breakup.
The change in the expression on his face was obvious and Jiang Qi quickly shut her mouth.
She suspected she would be dead soon and guessed that He Mu Sheng would rage, then beat her up violently. Unexpectedly, all he said was, Shes married, and so am I.
So calm?
Jiang Qi was even more afraid and guiltily let out an oh sound.
He Mu Sheng didnt say anything else and quickly walked out of themunity. Jiang Qi couldnt keep up with his long strides and jogged along, not daring toin. After all, she had just jabbed at his wound.
He Mu Sheng pressed on his key fob and the car chirped. He got into the drivers seat. Jiang Qi walked to the back and pulled, but realised that the door to the backseat was locked!
Sit in the front. The man said unhappily.
Jiang Qi frowned and felt that things werent that simple, but she went around the front of the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
The car left themunity and went smoothly onto the road.
Just drop me off at the Central Square. She took the initiative to say.
He Mu Sheng didnt reply and resumed his facial paralysis, just that he kept drinking water. In three minutes, he had finished a whole bottle.
The car didnt have a lot of bottled water in it. Jiang Qi saw him open another bottle. Was he that thirsty?
As she looked on, she also seemed to feel a little thirsty. She silently took a bottle in her hand, removed the bottle cap and with a gulp, was about to swallow when she suddenly heard He Mu Sheng say, You can date me.
Her eyes widened, the cool water stuck at her throat and she almost spat it out!
Forcing the water down, Jiang Qi started coughing crazily. When He Mu Sheng saw this, he stopped the car at the side and reached over to pat her on the back. He only withdrew his hand when Jiang Qis coughing subsided.
What did you just say? Jiang Qi had an incredulous expression on her face, and she was half scared out of her skin.
With a straight face, He Mu Sheng said, Didnt you want to date? You can date me.
He had thought about it. There was no need to get tangled up in the past. It was also good to find a new partner in life. Moreover, Jiang Qi was, at present, the most convenient partner. There was no need to get divorced and marry again. They could just turn the fake romance into a reality.
Are you crazy, uncle?! She didnt agree. He wasnt her type at all!
He Mu Shengs face darkened. Uncle? Im only six years older than you. Look at this prim and proper appearance, just like her father.
Jiang Qi choked and retorted, So what if its six years? Isnt six years a lot?! Isnt this like an old bull eating young grass?!
He Mu Sheng seemed annoyed and his eyes turned red. He angrily closed in on the woman who couldnt differentiate one thing from another and said coldly, Youre seven years older than Ji Liao, so what are you? Old grass seducing a young bull?
Jiang Qi was amused by his metaphor and her clever eyes curved into crescents. The sound of a girlsughter rang out from her mouth. The dual stimtion of sight and sound bewitched He Mu Shengs eyes and ears, controlling his hand to grip Jiang Qis chin. Then he leaned over to kiss her.
Jiang Qis head hummed and she quickly closed her eyes.
The mans body had the frosty scent of cologne. It was very mild and neutral but smelled surprisingly nice, causing her to be confused and disoriented. She opened her mouth and allowed him the chance to explore.
He Mu Sheng was a businessman and his best ability was to seize the opportunity.
He hadnt had such an intense desire for a woman in a long time. Right then, he had an impulse toward Jiang Qi, not only to kiss but more.
Click. He unbuckled his seatbelt.
The subtle sound roused Jiang Qi. She came to her senses and pushed the person in front of her away, then wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. In her heart, she cried, My first kiss! Its gone just like that!
He Mu Sheng wasnt satisfied. His expression wasnt good but it was no longer cold.
Jiang Qi had lipstick on. The two of them had just been especially intense, so there were lipstick stains at the side of his mouth. She looked at the colour on He Mu Shengs mouth and immediately took out a small mirror to check herself. Sure enough, she wasnt much better.
She wiped it with a piece of tissue paper, then grumpily tossed two pieces to him.
He Mu Sheng picked it up and casually fiddled with it.
What are you looking at? Drive! Jiang Qi was a little depressed. She had been french-kissed and actually didnt push him away immediately?!
It must have been because he was too sophisticated and she was too hungry, too curious.
Yes, it must be!
Jiang Qi consoled herself. A first kiss was nothing. She had to be steady and not let him make a fool out of her!
Ill greet your father. You cant keep living in the Jiang house. We have a new house and youll move in tomorrow. He Mu Sheng did things swiftly and decisively. Once he was determined, he had to make progress in every step.
Jiang Qi could no longer hold it in. She raised her voice and said, I dont agree!
When they had gotten married, they didnt even have a honeymoon. After the wedding, she flew abroad to study. Now, they were getting divorced. Why should they live together?!
This is not up to you. He Mu Shengs voice carried a hint of charming amusement and he drove back onto the road.
Chapter 80 - Didnt Expect You to be This Kind of School Bully!
Chapter 80 - Didnt Expect You to be This Kind of School Bully!
Ji Liao had juste out from washing the dishes and saw He Cheng Ming sitting unmoving on the sofa reading a book.
He discovered that the other boy actually quite liked reading books. Those on the general theory of currency or strategists things that were obscure and difficult to understand for most people, but he read them with great interest.
Baby.
He Cheng Ming called out to him, pleasantly surprised and immediately threw aside whatever in his hands that he was using to pass the time. Sex was more important, the hell with reading.
Ji Liao silently withdrew his earlier evaluation and walked over to ask, Did the doctor prescribe any medicine for you?
It was nothing more than some anti-inmmatory drugs and vitamins. He Cheng Ming felt that it didnt matter whether he took them or not so he threw them aside when he came home. Where did he put them? He thought about it, then pointed at the shoe cab. Yes, I put them there.
Ji Liao: You put the medicine in the shoe cab?!
He turned to the shoe cab to look for it. Sure enough, he found the small white bag with some pills in it.
You are really quite disobedient. Ji Liao was a little angry. Being eager to save time, he even dared to not to take his medicine!
After he poured a ss of warm water, Ji Liao firmly ced the medicine and water in He Cheng Mings hand and watched him swallow it.
When He Cheng Ming was done, he wrinkled his handsome face like a bun, sticking out his tongue. He pointed a finger and said aggrieved, Baby, its bitter.
His original intention was to have Ji Liaoe over and have a crazy tongue-duelling dance with him. Instead, the other boy ran away, opened his schoolbag and took out a piece of candy. He ced it in the palm of his hand and proudly offered it up to him.
Here. Ji Liaos eyes were bright, indicating that he could eat it.
He Cheng Ming tearfully removed the candy wrapper. This time, he was really bitter. His heart was bitter.
Sweet? Ji Liao asked him.
He Cheng Ming smacked his lips. A cunning look shed in his eyes when he indicated for Ji Liao to sit beside him.
Ji Liao had no doubts that he was up to something, but before his butt could even touch the seat, he was pressed down.
You try it. He Cheng Ming covered his mouth and pushed the candy over with the tip of his tongue. Ji Liao licked it gently. He felt that it was quite sweet and tasted like lychee.
This action easily stirred He Cheng Ming, making him unable to stop even if he wanted to. With a sweep of his tongue, the candy returned to his mouth. Ji Liao smiled and satisfied his intentions by snatching it back with his tongue. The two of them went back and forth, ying passionately.
They yed until it became increasingly louder, the sounds of their saliva exchange making Ji Liaos ears red. In a moment of carelessness, he swallowed the candy.
Ji Liao: ...
He paused and wanted to push the other boy away.
He Cheng Ming bit down on his soft lip, then moved away. Then brushing his nose with the back of a finger, he said joking, Greedy.
Ji Liao blushed and exined, I didnt mean to. If the boy had not pushed it so deep, how could he have swallowed without intercepting it!
Forget it. Ji Liao picked up the ss beside them and took a sip. When he realised that the cup belonged to the other boy, he put it back embarrassed.
Will you be taking tomorrow off? He asked.
He Cheng Ming was still immersed in thoughts of the earlier lychee-voured kiss and couldnt extricate himself. He made a huh sound before recovering and said while hugging Ji Liao, No.
Although it was quite humiliating to go to school with an arm in a sling, it was better than being bored to death in the house. Besides, who dared tough at him in school?!
Ji Liao nodded and cautioned him, Then be careful. Dont let anyone touch it.
He Cheng Ming looked down at him, his hand tightening on Ji Liaos waist and said haughtily, Then you have to protect me. Ji Liao didnt know whether tough or cry. He turned his head to look at him and sighed. Arent you a school bully? Do you still need me to protect you?!
Of course. He Cheng Ming looked like he was seeking a special favour and in an extremely flirtatious tone, said, My wife is the best. As long as he crooks his finger, even if its for your husband to die, your husband will willingly...
Ji Liao quickly covered his mouth. This person was bing more and more dramatic. He had to stop this evil at the source.
Can you speak properly? He reprimanded shyly.
He Cheng Ming was addicted to acting cute and deliberately turned his head away, not looking at Ji Liao as he said, You scolded me. Im throwing a tantrum.
Ji Liao was extremely amused by his behaviour. He was a wounded person with a fractured arm in a sling hanging from his neck, handsome and normally very cool. Now, he was pouting and acting cute. What the hell was that?!
Didnt expect you to be this kind of school bully!
Fortunately, only I know your goodness, your kind-heartedness and your cuteness. Ji Liao silently rejoiced and used a finger to poke at the boys face, pacifying him, Okay, I was wrong. Dont be angry, okay?
When He Cheng Ming heard such a soft and ttering tone, he almost became hard! Without remembering whether he was supposed to be angry or not, he immediately turned, took him into his arms and said, Okay, okay.
Ji Liao let out a pfft sound, reached out to rub his face and said mockingly, Why arent you resolute at all?
He Cheng Ming let him knead his face and said indulgently, Isnt it because of you? Its you who made me so soft, so gentle and without a temper.
Ji Liao was really moved and bit his lip, not saying anything for a long time. He was afraid that he would be exposed as soon as he spoke and his voice would tremble like a girl.
Right then, Xu Ai Wen called and reminded him that it was almost ten. She was preparing to drive over to pick him up.
Ji Liao gave a positive response. He Cheng Ming waited for him to hang up the phone, then asked immediately, You didnt tell your mother that I was injured while fighting, did you?! Ji Liao looked at him. I did. If he didnt make it clear, how could Xu Ai Wen have let hime over?
He Cheng Ming closed his eyes in chagrin. He had finally won a little of Xu Ai Wens favour after much difficulty. Would this fight destroy it all?!
When you get home, you have to exin clearly to your mother the one that I beat up was Gao Sheng, the son of a bitch that deserved to be beaten up. Dont let his mother-inw misunderstand him. He wasnt the kind of student who did nothing and fought all day long!
He Cheng Ming now had a position for himself: Xu Ai Wens standard son-inw.
It was strange to say it. He Yue Jin and Zhao Mei Lan could think of him in whatever way they wanted, but Xu Ai Wen couldnt misunderstand him. For the most part, it was because he felt guilty towards Xu Ai Wen. Whether it was Ji Liao or Ji Qing Wen, he had taken away the two most important men in her life. So he wanted to be a good boy in Xu Ai Wens eyes and allow her to trust him.
Ji Liao got up and said, I know. But next time, please dont get into another fight.
His heart ached when the other boy got injured.
He Cheng Ming wanted to send him downstairs but was mercilessly rejected.
You have a good rest and dont walk around unnecessarily.
After saying that, Ji Liao took out another piece of lychee-voured candy for him. He unconsciously licked his lips, then lowered his head and left with a smile.
Chapter 81 - You Had Better Reconsider
Chapter 81 - You Had Better Reconsider
The next day, He Cheng Ming went to school with his arm in a sling. As expected, he attracted countless looks.
He swept his gaze over them and the heads of those gossipers shrank back like hamsters.
Only Lin Jiang came up and asked with indignation, Ming Ge, what happened to your hand?! Who did it?! Ill fuck him up! He was really angry and had always treated He Cheng Ming like a real brother. Now, someone had fractured his brothers arm and his temper couldnt endure it.
He Cheng Ming pped him on the back of his head and berated, Could you keep your voice down? Im not deaf! Lin Jiang pursed his lips. Then what happened?
I met Gao Sheng yesterday...
He Cheng Ming told him about the general incident. At the end of it, Lin Jiang felt that the son of a bitch had really received the appropriate retribution!
Once he knew, the whole school knew. After all, as He Cheng Mings brother, how could Lin Jiang let his big brother suffer the injustice of being beaten up?
He immediately spread the news of this matter and conveniently added details, exaggerating the one-on-six confrontation greatly.
If Ji Liao had not known the truth, he would have almost believed it.
His phone vibrated. Jiang Qi had sent him a message: Didi, Jiejie has a lot of time recently. Do you need help?
Ji Liao thought of Meng Yao Yao, agreed and arranged to meet on Saturday.
At noon, Gu Ming Ren made a token gesture by going to ss two to see He Cheng Ming. His gaze fell onto the boys bandaged splint and he couldnt help butugh. He didnt think that the invincible school bully He would ever have this day.
Get lost. He Cheng Ming immediately ordered him to leave.
Gu Ming Ren didnt get angry and leaned against Lin Jiangs table. After going around in a circle while expressing his sympathy, he finally whispered, Did he break up with his girlfriend?
Li Si Ran had been pestering him so much recently that it was likely he was being treated as a new partner to be groomed. This situation showed that she had broken up with Lin Jiang, or was about to break up with him.
He Cheng Mings eyelids lifted slightly and he nced at him askance. How would I know?
Gu Ming Ren sneered. Doesnt he tell you everything?
He didnt know what kind of bewitchment that son of a bitch had put him under to make him so loyal and devoted.
Ask him yourself. He Cheng Ming lifted his chin slightly, indicating that Lin Jiang was behind him.
Gu Ming Ren turned his head and sure enough, he saw the boye in the door with a pack of bread in his mouth looking foolish. He cursed silently, stupid dog.
Lin Jiang released the pack of bread from between his teeth and lifted a hand to catch it. He tore open the pack forcefully and bit into the bread, then said, Ask me what? Gu Ming Ren hadnt harassed him in a while and his level of vignce had gradually lowered.
Nothing. He raised his sses expressionlessly.
Unconcerned, Lin Jiang shrugged and finished the bread in a few mouthfuls, but he wasnt even full! He had given all his pocket money to Li Si Ran resulting in his now empty pocket. Although He Cheng Ming had transferred a sum of money to him, he didnt have any left after he used it to buy a phone.
Have you broken up with your girlfriend? Gu Ming Ren couldnt help asking.
Lin Jiang choked and swallowed quickly. Then he looked at him and said, How did you know?!
He hadnt told anyone about it.
Gu Ming Ren raised his eyebrows and without a care in the world, he took out his phone for him to see. Your girlfriend has been bothering me a lot recently.
Lin Jiang took the phone and found that since the previous day, Li Si Ran had sent good morning, good night, miss you Gu Ming Ren, Im so lonely messages to Gu Ming Ren, and the frequency was even higher than when she was with him!
Lin Jiang cursed. Why didnt he realised before that Li Si Ran was so flirtatious?!
Shes an ex-girlfriend, nothing to do with me now. He said unhappily.
Gu Ming Ren didnt say anything and leisurely kept his phone in his pocket. Actually, Li Si Ran had been sending him such messages for over a month, just that he had deleted the earlier ones and left only those from thest three days.
Lin Jiang was quiet. Although unwilling, he said, She has probably taken a fancy to you. But, dont you already have a girlfriend?! It wasst circted among their level that Gu Ming Ren was dating. He didnt follow up on this news, so he wasnt sure of the situation.
Gu Ming Ren looked at him. I dont.
Lin Jiang frowned. Really?
Thinking that he was interested in Li Si Ran, in the spirit of camaraderie among fellow ssmates and from personal experience, Lin Jiang warned him, You had better reconsider. Dont be cheated like him.
After listening to his thought-provoking words, Gu Ming Ren felt that Lin Jiang was probably jealous. So his lips curved into a smile like a spring breeze and very contentedly, he said, Okay, Ill consider it properly.
Chapter 82 - Dad Said He Wants to Hold His Grandson This Year
Chapter 82 - Dad Said He Wants to Hold His Grandson This Year
On Saturday, after Ji Liao sent the address to Jiang Qi, he led Meng Yao Yao out of the house.
Confused, Meng Yao Yao grabbed her small bag and followed. Where are we going? Being quite down recently, she had not been in the mood to go out. She had even less desire to be the third wheel and eat dog food.
Ji Liao said, The Jiejie that previously saved you turned out to be He Cheng Mings sister-inw. She wants to meet you.
He didnt mention psychological guidance as it might be a sensitive subject, so he treated it as going out to make a new friend. It was a good way to relieve their boredom as well.
Jiang Qi Jiejie? Meng Yao Yao turned her head to seek confirmation and she seemed to be in high spirits.
She remembered that Jiejie. When she had saved her, she was valiant and beat Gao Sheng up until he was scared to bits. It was really cool!
Ji Liao saw her interest and his tone became lively. Yes, thats her.
Meng Yao Yao had helped him countless times, so he wanted to help Meng Yao Yao in whatever he could. Good girls shouldnt have to bear any suffering.
The two of them reached the entrance of themunity and before long, they heard the engine of a motorcycle. A modified version of a Harley-Davidson stopped in front of them.
The owners long legs touched the ground and she took off her safety helmet, then smiled brightly at Ji Liao. Didi, we meet again. Nearby, Meng Yao Yao screamed like a fangirl, Jiang Qi Jiejie! Is this your motorcycle?!
God knew how much she loved the other girls motorcycle. The overall shape was domineering, the contours were fashionable and sleek, and the sound was aggressive. It must be crazily exciting to ride!
Yes, how is it? Cool right?! Jiang Qi patted the head of her precious motorcycle.
Meng Yao Yao nodded, a look of yearning on her face. Its fantastic!
Actually, she loved extreme sports. She liked the liveliness, the fervour and the feel of her blood boiling. But Meng Yuan had always treated her like a princess. In order not to disappoint him, she could only continue acting like a princess and squashed her wild inner feelings. asionally, she listened to rock music and carefully maintained her real interests.
The girl looked quiet and gentle. Jiang Qi hadnt expected her interests to be so full of life and as cool as hers!
Lets go. Jiejie will bring you for a ride. She hadnt forgotten that the true purpose of today was to resolve the other girls depressed psychological state.
Jiang Qi helped Meng Yao Yao to put on the safety helmet and indicated for her to sit.
Ji Liao was a little worried and felt that it was dangerous. His appearance of wanting to say something, then hesitating, made Jiang Qis heart itch. As expected, it was still the little milk dog that was adorable. Besides knowing how to kiss, He Mu Sheng that old man was really uninteresting!
He asked her to move in, but in the end, wasnt he workingte every day and not home? Was he trying to fool her?!
Thinking of He Mu Sheng, Jiang Qi felt herself simmering with rage and she twisted the throttle fiercely. The motorcycle let out a roaring sound and she assured Ji Liao, Jiejie has a licence. Dont worry.
She sped off.
Leaving Ji Liao dishevelled.
Ji Liao quickly called He Cheng Ming to ask if Jiang Qis motorcycle skills were reliable. That thing looked big and scary and he felt uncertain. If anything happened, how could he justify it to Meng Yuan?!
When did you get in touch with her again? He Cheng Ming was slightly unhappy and questioned him.
He had gone behind his back to meet Jiang Qi secretly!
Ji Liao was panicky. Thats not important. First, call your brother to ask him.
Recently, He Mu Sheng had been dealing with matters following He Yue Jin giving up his position. After the announcement, the He group shares had been affected, so he was making a great effort in the discussions of a new project. If the project was sessful, the national poprity of the He group would reach the next level.
Due to this, he had already been workingte for three to four days and today was the finalization date.
When he received He Cheng Mings call, he had just finished signing the contract. Hearing that Jiang Qi had again gone to meet Ji Liao, he was very unhappy and said, Whats the matter with you? Cant control your wife?
He Cheng Mingughed. He finally understood how Ji Liao had felt earlier and realised that he and his brothers mode of thinking were the same.
Ge, youre a president. Can you focus on the main point?
He Mu Sheng handed the contract over to the secretary for filing, then went to his office to get his coat and prepared to leave. Yes, she won first ce in the amateur motorcycle championship.
This what was he had found out after looking at Jiang Qis information. She had been studying abroad for three years. Besides studying, her hobby was motorcycles. asionally, she would do some frence work on the runway and most probably encountered many muscr hunks, who were very different from the little milk dogs that she liked.
So the boy that Jiang Qi mentioned the other day that she liked was probably Ji Liao.
He Mu Sheng hung up the phone and went to his car in the parking lot.
Jiang Qi increased the speed to 120km/h, the motorcycle flying along the shoreline and the strong wind whizzed past. Meng Yao Yao hugged her waist tightly, both afraid and delighted.
Hold tight.
Jiang Qi was enjoying herself immensely and elerated to 160km/h. Meng Yao Yao felt like she was about to fly and cried out happily. The anxiety and gloominess of the past few days were thrown to the back of her mind leaving only the clear sense of freedom and an intense heartbeat.
Ah...
She was happy and felt her horizons broaden. There was no ce for unimportant little things.
Jiang Qi gradually slowed down and stopped by the side of the road. She saw a small shop beside the road and went over to buy two popsicles. After giving one to Meng Yao Yao, they leaned against the sea wall while they ate.
In front of them was the deep blue sea, the surface sparkling under the scorching sun and the waves ovepping, the sound of which was surprisingly calming.
Jiang Qi said, Your name is Yao Yao, right?
Meng Yao Yao nodded quickly. Jiang Qi was practically like an idol to her now.
Ji Liao said that youve been in a bad mood recently. Is it because of what happenedst time? Meng Yao Yao bit her lip. A little bit. Im afraid.
Especially during the nights, she would be unable to sleep and always felt very disgusted. Although she didnt get the worst of it, the moment during which he tore her clothes had left a deep impression on her.
Jiang Qi took a bite of her popsicle and asked, How about now? Do you feel better?
Unhappy matters umting in the heart would form a kind of imprisonment which could be set free with appropriate de-stressors.
Yes, a lot more rxed.
Meng Yao Yao stood on tiptoe and took a deep breath. The salty scent of the sea breeze made its way into her nose.
Jiang Qi suggested to her, If you have time, you can learn some self-defence skills.
Father Jiang had let her learn Taekwondo when she was young and said that in this way, she could protect herself when she grew up. Unexpectedly, it had led her down the path of no return towards that of a heroine. As a result, she felt that she wasnt a good match for He Mu Sheng. There had been various instances of financial imbnce and assentation. Two days ago, hed even had her kidnapped and sent over.
It was really terrible.
Just when she was thinking about He Mu Sheng, he called and asked right to the point, Why arent you at home? Jiang Qi was startled. Are you back?
The man hummed and ordered, Come back immediately. I want to see you within half an hour.
Such an overbearing tone of a president. Jiang Qi rolled her eyes and replied, Sure, wait. She hung up the phone. Beside her, Meng Yao Yao said, Do you need to go back?!
Jiang Qi waved a hand. Dont worry.
Men couldnt be spoiled or they would really think they were emperors.
Meng Yao Yao didnt say anything. She used her phone to take a photo with Jiang Qi and exchanged WeChat contacts with her, thinking that she could go for a ride with her another time. She liked this Jiejie it was a worship kind of like.
The two of them chatted randomly and discovered that they shared many interests. So they found a coffee ce and had their afternoon tea.
In the evening, Jiang Qi sent Meng Yao Yao back to themunity, then went home. Oh, no, it was He Mu Shengs home.
At this time, it had been three hours since He Mu Sheng had called her.
Jiang Qi arched her back and opened the door to find that there seemed to be no one at home.
Throwing her keys aside, she felt tired and decided to go to the room to lie down. In the end, just as her bottom touched the bed, the bathroom door opened and He Mu Sheng emerged with his upper body bare and a white bath towel around his waist.
Jiang Qi turned away immediately. She was still a youngdy without any sexual experience! What did this old man want?!
Why are you in my room?! In order not to share a bed with him, she had deliberately stayed in the other bedroom!
He Mu Shengughed contentedly and walked over to lock the door, his actions smooth.
Under his zing eyes, Jiang Qi was unable to escape his scrutiny and retreated back. Her palm touched a wallet. Turning her head to look, she saw that it was her wallet from high school.
Her heart thumped.
He Mu Sheng had already started walking towards her. The man was tall and handsome, the type that was slender when clothed but brawny in the buff. The visual impact was so strong that Jiang Qi couldnt help but swallow.
Dad wants a grandson.
While saying that, he knelt beside Jiang Qi and pushed her down onto the bed.
Jiang Qi was stunned. Whose dad? Yours or mine?
He Mu Sheng let out a soft rumble ofughter. He put arge hand on her waist and said in a hoarse voice, My dad.
Jiang Qi resisted for a moment but unable topete with the strength of a man, she was quickly subdued. Panting, she looked at the wallet next to her. Inside hid a secret.
In its dark folds was a photo of He Mu Sheng.
She had actually liked He Mu Sheng before, but at that time, he had a girlfriend. She didnt dare to bother him and silently kept his photo in her wallet. Later, He Mu Sheng hade to her for the arranged marriage and she agreed with a tiny bit of hope in her heart. But after waiting for over a year, there was no progress.
She had truly wanted to divorce He Mu Sheng because she didnt want to wait any longer.
It was also true that she liked little milk dogs. But didnt the beauty of love lie in the fact that it didnt have standards and types?
Afterwards, the man held her waist. Jiang Qis face was scarlet and she asked stiffly, Did you see it? That photo. He Mu Sheng swallowed and he hummed with a muffled, hoarse voice.
Jiang Qi was so embarrassed that she wanted to flee but her waist was held tightly by the man. He Mu Sheng leaned over to kiss her and said, Youre the woman who best knows how to y hard-to-get.
Jiang Qi blushed, not daring to say a word. She did use a strategy to force him.
However, I congratte you, Ms. Jiang. Youve caught me.
He Mu Sheng was open and candid. Like was like. If he didnt like someone, they didnt have a chance to enter his bed.
Pulling the nket over their heads, he once again turned his body to hold Jiang Qi down and said flirtatiously, Dad said he wants to hold his grandson this year.
Jiang Qi the next day: He Mu Sheng, youre fucking inhuman!! My A4 waist is going to break!
Chapter 83 - He Might Not Be Able to Save His Own Head
Chapter 83 - He Might Not Be Able to Save His Own Head
Ji Liao was relieved to learn that Jiang Qis motorcycle skills passed muster.
He held the phone, listening to He Cheng Ming whine andin about how he had time to contact Jiang Qi but no time to be concerned about him and so on.
Ji Liao lowered his head and smiled. He kicked at a stone by the roadside and said warmly, Is your arm better? He Cheng Ming said unhappily. No!
He was very annoyed and kept feeling like Ji Liao had been a little distant towards him recently. Even in school, he hadnt received any privileges with the reason being that it was inconvenient with his injured arm. No, what did a kiss on the mouth have to do with an arm in a sling? Wasnt that a matter of tongue movement?
Today was even better. He had arranged to meet a woman and even had the courage to call him!
He Cheng Ming couldnt sit still and grabbed his keys as he went out.
Ji Liao heard the sound of the mming door and couldnt help asking, Are you going out? He frowned immediately and dissuaded him, Your arm hasnt recovered. Shouldnt you avoid going out randomly?
Hearing this, He Cheng Ming was even angrier and roared fiercely into his phone, Wait for hubby to go over and deal with you! After hanging up the phone, he pressed the button for the elevator.
Uprehendingly, Ji Liao looked at the end of call indication on his screen. Deal with him?
It was a hot day. He went to the convenience store to buy a popsicle then headed to the bus stop to wait for He Cheng Ming.
In the hot sun, he sat and focused on eating his popsicle.
When He Cheng Ming arrived, he saw the scene the beautiful and charming youth dressed in a loose t-shirt and shorts, sitting adorably on the bench with his head lowered, a red tongue licking the popsicle over and over again, making his blood boil.
This demon!
He quickly got off the bus. Before he reached him, Ji Liao saw his shadow. Ji Liao looked up squinting due to the re of the sun and said with a smile, Youre here.
The sweet fragrance of the popsicle seemed to remain in his mouth and the scent went straight to He Cheng Mings nose, making his throat itch.
He swallowed.
Completely unaware of his filthy thoughts, Ji Liao held up the thing in his hand and asked him, Want some?
He Cheng Ming was filled with demonic fire but when he saw Ji Liaos clear eyes and his unworldly appearance, he wasnt willing to let him suffer too soon. So he could only suppress his desire and lowered his head to suck on the remaining popsicle, finishing it in a mouthful.
Ji Liao: ... He didnt even leave any for him!
He got up to throw the stick into the trash bin and asked jokingly, Are you here to deal with me? The other boy was even jealous of Jiang Qi. He really had nothing to say. Jiang Qi was married, alright?! Moreover, she was his sister-inw!
If he hadnt mentioned it, he would have been fine. Once it was mentioned, He Cheng Ming remembered, scolding himself for being mesmerized by the little demon and nearly forgetting the matter at hand. You have the nerve to say it? He took a step forward and squeezed Ji Liaos bottom with arge hand.
Ji Liaos face reddened and he turned his head to re at him. What are you doing?!
He was openly taking advantage of him in broad daylight. Ji Liao puffed out his cheeks and was a little angry.
What if someone saw it?! He wasnt shameless!
If you dont listen to me, Ill do you! He Cheng Ming stared at the red tips of his ears and threatened in a low voice.
Ji Liao couldnt believe the other boy would say something like that. His eyes were wide and his face red. Ashamed and a little resentful, he opened his mouth wanting to retort, but couldnt say anything.
He Cheng Ming had always been gentle and considerate in front of him. He suddenly became so fierce that he was terrified again, dropping his eyes and biting his lip, not daring to speak at all.
Arent you bringing me upstairs? He Cheng Ming spoke again.
Ji Liao nodded silently and like a wife who had done something wrong, followed him into themunity.
He Cheng Ming put his arm around his waist and his uninjured arm crept nimbly into his clothes. His young skin was firm and smooth, which made him unable to let go.
Ji Liao was slightly ufortable but didnt utter a word. He secretly looked up at the other boy and realised that he still had a tight expression on his face. He had already been touching for so long!
Suddenly, there were some grievances.
When the two of them got on the elevator, Ji Liao tried to reason, When have I been disobedient?
His originally fragile voice was especially pitiful when it became gloomy like he had been bullied. He Cheng Mings heart melted when he heard and wanted to bend his head tofort him.
Youve been very perfunctory to me recently. He said in a tight voice, trying to control his impulse to kneel and lick.
Ji Liao became nervous immediately. I wasnt.
Two hands grasp at the hem of the other boys shirt. He really hadnt. Hadnt they been good recently?!
He Cheng Ming looked at him askance and what he saw almost made him give in. The way the other boy was looking at him made it unbearable, especially those wet eyes, making him tremble inside.
He didnt say anything for fear of revealing himself.
The elevator stopped and they stepped out.
Ji Liao went ahead to open the door. It was quiet inside. He Cheng Ming nced around and asked, Your mom isnt home? Ji Liao nodded and closed the door.
He turned to look at him, feeling a little gloomy and exined again, I really wasnt being perfunctory to you.
He Cheng Ming sat on the sofa, his legs apart and with a pull of his arm, Ji Liao sat on his leg. Then let me taste.
He turned his head to kiss the boy on the lips. Since thest lychee-voured kiss, he felt that Ji Liao always seemed to taste of lychee, as if he was the essence of lychee.
Ji Liao didnt dare to get too near to him, afraid of bumping into him. So he kept retreating while He Cheng Mings head followed. Ji Liaos bottom slipped down from his legs andnded on the sofa. Disregarding the awkward posture, He Cheng Ming held the other boys face and twisted his body to suck on his tongue.
The sound of keys dropping came suddenly from the door.
Ji Liao opened his eyes and looked over, so afraid that he became tongue-tied!
He quickly pushed aside the person who was still unmovingly french kissing him, and quickly wiped his mouth with the back of his hand as if he could exonerate himself.
He Cheng Ming frowned, then turning to see Xu Ai Wen, he stood up immediately, feeling a little weak.
In her home, in front of her, pressing her son down for a kiss. He Cheng Ming felt that he might not be able to save his own head.
After Xu Ai Wens shock passed, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. She bent down to pick up the keys from the floor but said nothing. ncing at Ji Liaos flushed appearance, she only felt that it was a little unfortunate that he liked guys.
He Cheng Ming licked his lips. It was the first time he was this nervous and he said, A...Auntie, youre back. Xu Ai Wen nodded to him and thought to herself, if I hadnte back right then, who knows what the two of you would be doing.
She put her things down on the table and asked, When did youe? He Cheng Ming replied, Not long ago.
Ji Liao hid behind him, extremely embarrassed. It was really shameful to have his mother witness that scene!
He Cheng Ming held his hand gently, indicating that he should rx.
Xu Ai Wen took a sip of water and looked at his injury hanging in front of his chest. ording to Meng Yao Yao, he had gotten injured in a fight with the man who had disrespected her previously. So Xu Ai Wen questioned further, Is your arm feeling better?
He Cheng Ming said easily, Its nothing.
Behind him, Ji Liao pinched his palm. Hadnt he just asked whether his arm was feeling better earlier? He said no! Now that his mom was asking, it became nothing! This two-faced man.
He Cheng Ming hissed and turned to look at him. Ji Liao met his gaze and bit his lip, a faint redness still remnant from the hot kiss earlier. He couldnt help smiling and whispered, Cut it out. Ji Liaos eyes curved and he pinched him again.
He was so fierce earlier. Now in front of his mother, he was so gentle again.
What a fickle man.
He Cheng Ming had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.
Xu Ai Wen couldnt look on and walked away self-consciously. She felt a slight ache in her heart realising that Ji Liao had never been like that with her. There was the feeling of her child suddenly being taken away after raising him with difficulty.
Before she could take two steps, she stopped and said, Stay for dinner tonight. He Cheng Ming said in surprise, Okay, sorry to trouble you, Auntie.
When Xu Ai Wen had entered her room, He Cheng Ming immediately turned to pick Ji Liao up, then realised that he couldnt do it with only one arm. But it didnt curb his enthusiasm. He gave the other boy a firm kiss on the face and said, Baby, did you praise me in front of your mom?
If not, how could Xu Ai Wen have such a big change in attitude towards him?!
Ji Liao shook off his arm with dislike. I didnt say anything. It was Meng Yao Yao! He Cheng Ming was ted. Then Ill thank her properly tomorrow.
Ji Liao snorted and finally had something toin about. After thest incident with Gao Sheng, she has been a bit unhappy. Today, I asked Jiang Qi Jie to bring her out to relieve her boredom. In the end, you got angry!
He Cheng Ming bent his head and began to plead for forgiveness. Sorry, baby. I was wrong. He was possessive and could not bear to see Ji Liao meeting others in private.
You said I was disobedient! And you were so fierce earlier!
Ji Liao let all his bitterness out at once and his appearance was so cute he wanted to die.
He Cheng Ming nearly knelt down for him and he t out denied it. I was fierce with you? How is that possible?! Youre my darling. How could I bear to be fierce with you?!
After saying that, he hugged Ji Liao and kissed his forehead gently. His heart was so warm that it felt like blossoming. He was really so cute!
Ji Liao was already familiar with his pattern. He was always like that relying on his own attractiveness and taking advantage of Ji Liaos soft-heartedness to count on him not arguing.
Hrmph.
But he was really finding it difficult to maintain his anger. As long as the other boys attitude softened, he waspletely unable to pursue it.
Hubby likes you the most, baby. He Cheng Ming said as he blew into his ear.
His voice was low and maic, making Ji Liaos legs weak. He red at him and pushed him away.
He needed a drink of water to calm down.
He Cheng Ming followed and feeling that the living room was still too dangerous, they headed to the room.
Ji Liao felt that the other boy had taken enough advantage of him today, so it was time to help him with his homework. So he took out the five-year college exam, three-year simtion book andid out his preparations.
He Cheng Ming said sullenly, I now have reason to doubt you. Are you with me just because you want to improve your results?
Chapter 84 - He Only Had Two-Pack Abs Left
Chapter 84 - He Only Had Two-Pack Abs Left
Ji Liao smiled brightly, his eyes forming crescents, and pushed the exam paper in front of the other boy while urging, Write! Within three minutes, he wanted to know how to solve the problem!
He Cheng Ming let out a tsk sound, picked up the blue pen and bent his head over the problem. After looking at it for a few seconds, he started to write out the form.
Ji Liao looked at him and felt that he was especially handsome at that moment. That earnest expression made him unable to look away and his body seemed to be radiant and so dazzling that it moved his heart.
If you look at me like that, how am I supposed to write? He Cheng Ming threw the pen aside and slumped back against the chair, looking at him with a faint smile.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Ji Liaos face and he used some effort to pull him up. Okay, I wouldnt look.
He Cheng Ming continued to work his brain. Although he much preferred physical activity, seeing how motivated Ji Liao was and not wanting to interfere, he just went with it.
His splint had been removed after almost a month. During this period, He Cheng Ming often went over to the Meng family home, calling out Auntie happily. Xu Ai Wen treated him like as if she was raising her own son, stewing spareribs and simmering chicken soup, unexpectedly feeding He Cheng Ming until he had grown another two centimetres!
Ji Liao had also fattened up by one or two kilograms, and even Meng Yao Yaos face became round!
That day when Meng Yao Yao looked in the mirror, she was surprised to find that a double chin had almost appeared. That night, she refused supper from Xu Ai Wen and threw herself into losing weight!
This was Xu Ai Wens interest using all sorts of ingredients to prepare culinary delicacies. When Meng Yao Yao refused, she thought of He Cheng Ming. That child could eat and he didnt refuse anything. Moreover, he didnt get fat, so he was the best feeding target for her!
So she told Ji Liao to ask He Cheng Ming over for a meal whenever he was free. From what Meng Yuan had said, that child had fallen out with his family. He surely didnt eat well living alone and it was really distressing to think about.
Ji Liao appeared reluctant and looked like he wanted to say something, making Xu Ai Wen wonder, Whats the matter? Have you fallen out?! Ji Liao was gloomy. Thats not it. But did the other boy have to eat some more?!
Previously, he had two pecs and six-pack abs. Recently, he was unable to exercise due to his arm injury, and at the same time, he was eating and drinking all sorts of things. Thest time he was in close contact with He Cheng Ming, he realised it wasnt that he didnt fill out, just that it couldnt be seen when he was wearing clothes. Once his clothes were off, he only had two-pack abs left!
This boy... are you still jealous of Xiao He?
Now, Xu Ai Wen had started to call He Cheng Ming Xiao He, which showed that the rtionship between the two of them had grown by leaps and bounds.
Ji Liao grimaced. Of course not. What was that old saying? The more the mother-inw looks at the son-inw, the better he looks.
He felt that Xu Ai Wen was like that. In addition, He Cheng Ming always pretended to be good in front of her, always sending her skincare products. He heard that they were customized ording to the skin and the prices were horrifying.
There were no women who did not love beauty. Although Xu Ai Wen said not to buy them again, she was really happy. She was even more satisfied when her skin improved after using it.
After Ji Liao conveyed his mothers decree, He Cheng Mingughed and quickly replied, Okay, Ill go over tomorrow. He had just hung up the phone when his mother Zhao Mei Lan came to the door.
Zhao Mei Lan was sulky on the way there. Today, she went to the store to get customized skincare products and heard that He Cheng Ming had recently been there quite often. She pretended to know about it and tricked the shop assistant to show her the customer list. Only then did she find out that the person who was causing her son to go so often was Xu Ai Wen!
Zhao Mei Lan felt that the name was a little familiar. It took a long time for her to remember that it was Ji Qing Wens wife, Ji Liaos mother.
The rtionship was causing money to be spent on the mother-inw!
Zhao Mei Lan felt it was extremely unfair. That was her son. Never mind that he didnt spend money on her, but he went so far as to spend on others!
She immediately took a taxi to He Cheng Mingsmunity.
He Cheng Ming looked at the person at the door and said coldly, Why are you here?
Zhao Mei Lan pushed him aside and walked in. She had pushed his left arm. Although the splint had already been removed, the injury had not recoveredpletely. He Cheng Ming endured the pain and frowned.
Zhao Mei Lan noticed his strange expression and asked immediately, Are you hiding something from me?! He Cheng Ming said nothing and turned to enter the living room. He burrowed into the sofa and grabbed a book to read.
Zhao Mei Lan was ignored and felt aggrieved. She walked over to sit beside He Cheng Ming and said in a soft voice, Xiao Ming, Im your mother. How can you treat me like this?!
Did he really hate her that much?
He Cheng Ming raised his eyelids slightly and his tone rxed a little. Why did youe over today? He knew very well that she always had an ulterior motive when visiting.
Cant Ie to see my son?! Zhao Mei Lan was reluctant to admit anything.
He Cheng Ming looked askance at her and she instantly lost her confidence, withdrawing her neck.
Youve been on good terms with Ji Liao recently, right?
He had bought such expensive customized skincare products for his mother, so it shouldnt be bad.
He Cheng Ming was most afraid to hear Ji Liaos nameing from her mouth. He put down the book immediately and stared at Zhao Mei Lan. Why are you asking about this? Zhao Mei Lan saw that her son was being defensive against her like as if he was guarding again thieves and said with an ache in her heart, How can you look at your mother like that? Cant your mother ask about you? He Cheng Ming said coldly, You know clearly in your heart what you have done before.
It had almost made Ji Liao leave him. If Ji Liao hadnt chosen to forgive him at that time, he didnt dare to imagine the consequences.
And all of it was due to Zhao Mei Lan.
Zhao Mei Lan felt guilty. She avoided He Cheng Mings eyes and said reluctantly, Mom is sorry about that incident, but cant you give me another chance?
It had already been so long since that incident, moreover, wasnt he now on good terms with Ji Liao?!
He Cheng Ming had not expected Zhao Mei Lan to apologize so his attitude improved. He picked up the book again. This is something you should be telling Ji Liao.
Zhao Mei Lan didnt answer. There was no way she would apologize to the little male demon!
But she also realised that her son was already obsessed. He would only have a good attitude towards her when she had a good attitude towards Ji Liao.
Rambling on, she talked about the recent situation in the He family. He Yue Jin seemed to have gotten even busier after his retirement. The finance weekly publication had asked him to work on a special feature and the economics channel had invited him onto a program. In any case, he was out all day.
But it seemed like he had broken up with the little vixen from before as she had not smelled that perfume scent recently.
By the way, did you know that your sister-inw is pregnant?!
Zhao Mei Lans face was alit with gossip. It was because of Jiang Qis pregnancy that He Yue Jin had started toe back frequently as he kept thinking about his grandson.
He Cheng Mings eyebrows rose. He was wondering why Jiang Qi had been so contented recently, not teasing Ji Liao anymore. As it turned out, she was pregnant! He Cheng Ming narrowed his eyes. His brothers speed at making babies was really something.
Oh. He made a perfunctory remark.
Zhao Mei Lan sighed and said tentatively, I dont know whether Ill be able to hold my biological grandson in this lifetime. With just a word, she had excluded He Mu Shengs child.
He Cheng Ming was expressionless. You should give up on that hope as soon as possible. Zhao Mei Lan choked and couldnt say anything in that instant.
It doesnt matter. As long as youre happy, Mom is happy. She grudgingly smoothed things over with a bleeding heart. Although she still wanted to hold a biological grandson, her son was grown-up now. She couldnt afford to provoke him, so pacified him instead.
He Cheng Ming heard this and sneered.
Zhao Mei Lan was stung by his sneer but was unable to retort. She had topromise and said, Xiao Ming, Mom doesnt care about you and Ji Liao anymore, but when you have time, you have toe home to see Mom, okay?
She was so lonely in the He family home although it was slightly more lively after Jiang Qi came over.
But she was He Mu Shengs wife after all. She wasnt close to He Mu Sheng, so how could Jiang Qi be close to her? Whats more, after Jiang Qi became pregnant, He Mu Sheng treasured her so much that he would skip work and run home every day. She was worried that He Mu Sheng would bankrupt the He group.
I know. He Cheng Ming didnt agree or disagree and just replied like that.
Seeing this, Zhao Mei Lans delicate face was filled with unspoken disappointment and she stood up reluctantly. Looking at her son, she said, Then Mom will go off first?
He Cheng Ming turned the page of his book and without even ncing at her, he gave a cold um sound.
Zhao Mei Lan left sadly and went back to the He family home. Just then, she bumped into He Mu Sheng who wasing back from work early. She thought of He Cheng Mings left arm and asked, Was Xiao Ming injured recently?
He Mu Sheng paused, then relented and told her about the incident.
His heart had probably softened after having his own child. In fact, after so many years, he understood that although Zhao Mei Lan was selfish, she wasnt a bad person. Her intelligence was average and sometimes she could do stupid things, but she couldnt live up to thebel of a cunning whore.
His mother had been forced away by her, or maybe she had just brought forward the inevitable. He Yue Jin was promiscuous. Even if it wasnt Zhao Mei Lan, it would be someone else. It was better to leave early.
Now that he had Jiang Qi, he had somewhere to call home, so his previous resentment, pain and disappointment was gradually disappearing from his heart.
Having just found out about this matter, Zhao Mei Lans eyes gradually reddened and she thought about how distant her son had be to not even tell her that he was injured. She knew that she was wrong but couldnt bear to admit it.
Next time it happens again, let me know. She said humbly towards He Mu Sheng.
He Mu Sheng was surprised and nodded before going in. Jiang Qi was sitting in the living room watching television. She wasughing excessively and it scared He Mu Sheng who quickly walked over to turn off the television.
Jiang Qi looked at him in confusion. What are you doing?!
He Mu Sheng said solemnly. The doctor said that pregnant women shouldnt get too excited.
He was about to re at Jiang Qi when he quickly swallowed his words. They had reached an agreement that for the benefit of prenatal education, they couldnt say any curse words in future. No, the doctor also said that I have to maintain my happy mood. Happy mood, do you understand? Now, youre making me angry! Jiang Qi propped a hand on her waist with the self-satisfied appearance of a world number one.
He Mu Sheng walked over to listen to her stomach, feeling happy even though he didnt hear anything. He kissed Jiang Qis face and said with a smile. I didnt. I wouldnt dare.
Jiang Qi smiled sweetly and using her index finger to prod at his forehead, she said like a queen, I bet you wouldnt! Turn on the television for me! He Mu Sheng turned on the television obediently and received a kiss from his wife.
Chapter 85 - This Was Their Latest Code
Chapter 85 - This Was Their Latest Code
After the final exam, the students were like released prisoners, grabbing their bags and running outside. They formed groups to discuss where to go during their vacation or the type of tuition sses to take.
Ji Liao had not seen Yu Jin for a long time. He was just as cheerful and talkative as before and was currently chatting with Li You Xin and some others.
Seeing him packing his schoolbag, Yu Jin rushed over and said, Do you want to eat together? I havent seen you for a long time, bro. Thest time they had met was during the new year when he went to confess his feelings for Ji Liao but was eliminated before he could say a word.
Yu Jin smiled with some bitterness as well as relief. Ji Liao must have had a good half-year, seeing that he had a better physique and wasnt as thin as before.
Okay.
Ji Liao agreed readily. After all, he was a good friend of many years. After he started dating, he had neglected his friend, not having contacted him in the past six months.
Thinking of this, he had really put dates before mates.
Ji Liao and Yu Jin walked out with arms around each others shoulders as if they had returned to the time when they had both been single.
Ji Liao asked, Have you started drawing old men?!
Yu Jin sized him up with an indescribable look in his eye and said with a wry smile, You only remember the old man, right?! Does He Cheng Ming not satisfy you?!
Although the other boy had often told dirty jokes previously, it had been some time since he heard it. Since he had started so abruptly, Ji Liao wasnt used to it and withdrew his arm from around the other boys shoulder.
Can you exercise some restraint?! He was a little embarrassed.
Yu Jin looked at his shy appearance and his expression was incredulous. It cant be. You guys havent done it?! Ji Liao didnt consider him an outsider and he answered directly, No.
The main reason was that He Cheng Ming had never asked that of him, so how could he bring it up? Besides, although they hadnt gone all the way, they had already seen and touch whatever there was to see or touch. There wasnt much difference, right?
Yu Jin paused and said quietly, Then he really cherishes you.
With the temper that He Cheng Ming had, the fact that he was able to bear not touching Ji Liao until now showed that he had Ji Liao in his heart.
Yu Jinughed to himself and felt that he did notpare with the other boy in the least.
Ji Liao did not say anything, silently agreeing that He Cheng Ming did cherish him.
Maybe love was really blind. Now when he looked at He Cheng Ming, he found everything about him to be good. He used to think that he had a fierce face but now he found that that same expression to be very handsome. He used to think that he was always easily irritable but now found that he only bristled like a child and just needed some pacifying.
He was so charmed by him that he probably wouldnt know which way was north.
Ji Liao gave him a bright smile. Yu Jin couldnt look at his besotted appearance and immediately moved three steps away from him. Dont look so pleased when talking about your rtionship. Are you taunting me about my single status?!
Yes. Who asked you to be single?! Ji Liao said with conviction.
Yu Jin started to strangle his neck in a disy of anger and the two of them yed around happily. Suddenly, Ji Liao heard someone calling him from behind. Turning his head to look, he saw that it was Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang winked hard at him. When Yu Jin met He Cheng Mings cool gaze, he automatically released Ji Liao and stuffed his hands into his pocket.
Ji Liao, is this your friend?
Lin Jiang had never met Yu Jin. He had actually seen them when he came downstairs with He Cheng Ming. They had been shoulder to shoulder and looked very close.
Yes, Yu Jin from our ss. Ji Liao briskly introduced.
Oh, why havent I seen him before?
As Lin Jiang asked, he looked carefully at He Cheng Mings face. Seeing that there were no signs of jealousy, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief for Ji Liao.
Hes an art student, so hes not in school often. Oh. Lin Jiang kept quiet after that.
Ji Liao slowed down to wait for He Cheng Ming who naturally put his arm around his shoulder and hugged him, asking in a low voice, How was your exam? He had seen how hardworking Ji Liao had been and with that effort came the hope that he could get something back.
Ji Liao lifted his head and smiled at him. Quite good. Then he added, With you as a teacher, can it not be good?!
It was obvious that he was in a good mood today even his words had be sweet.
He Cheng Ming was blissfully happy from the ttery and his mouth curved into a smile. The arm around Ji Liaos shoulder tightened and he gently pinched his face.
The four of them walked out together. Xu Ai Wen had been waiting at the school gate.
At a nce, she did not recognise Yu Jin until he took the initiative to greet her. Auntie Xu, Im Yu Jin.
Xu Ai Wen looked at him again and recognising some parts of his appearance from when he was young, she said in surprise, Ah Jin! Youre so tall now!
High school boys sprang up quickly. Previously, she had been busy with work, and rarely attended Ji Liaos parent meetings so did not see Yu Jin. The physical appearance of a boy really changed when he turned eighteen. She used to always say that the children of the Yu family were like monkeys. She never thought that he would be so handsome now.
Lin Jiang wasnt part of their group, so he left after a greeting.
Ji Liao interjected, Mom, Im going out for dinner with Yu Jin.
After saying that, he looked at He Cheng Ming. You can go with me, right? It was a good time for introductions and to get to know each other.
Before He Cheng Ming could reply, Xu Ai Wen interrupted, Why go out to eat? Let Ah Jine over. Xiao He cane over as well. Mom will prepare ginger duck which Ive just learned to make!
Recently, Xu Ai Wen had been diligently studying the local cuisine, taking advantage of all the mouths in the Meng family.
He Cheng Ming wouldnt reject his mother-inws invitation, instead, he automatically assigned himself the position of host, looking towards Yu Jin, the guest, whose opinion was more important.
Yu Jin quickly said, Okay, Ive missed Auntie Xus cooking very much. I used to go over to your house to eat and drink.
Xu Ai Wen was unable to contain her happiness and asked him, Your parents have been doing quite well these two years, havent they?
When the two families had been neighbours, there was nock of interaction between them. Xu Ai Wen and Mother Yu were even closer. However, when the other family moved, being very busy with her work, she gradually lost contact with them.
Yu Jin spoke about his familys situation. In fact, their move out of themunity had indicated the prosperity of the Yu family. Only by hearing it said did Xu Ai Wen realise it.
Thats good. She wasnt a jealous person and eximed sincerely.
Yu Jin said with a smile, My mom still thinks of you and said that you got married. You didnt tell her and she was even angry with you for a while.
Xu Ai Wen felt a little remorseful. When she was thinking about re-marrying, she felt there was no need to publicize it so they hadnt held a wedding ceremony, only inviting several elders as witnesses and for a meal.
She had also invited a few friends, but they were all colleagues. Since she had lost contact with Mother Yu for a long time, she was embarrassed to invite her.
After a few words with Yu Jin, Meng Yao Yao came out and the five of them got into the car.
Meng Yao Yao sat in the front passenger seat while the three boys sat behind.
He Cheng Ming knew he shouldnt be but was still a little jealous. He made endless small movements towards Ji Liao, ying with his fingers, then secretly touching his slim waist.
Because Yu Jin was beside them, it wasnt good for Ji Liao to get angry, so he could only re repeatedly at He Cheng Ming.
He Cheng Mings expression was indifferent as if what his hands were doing had nothing to do with him.
Yu Jin turned away and looked out of the window, treating it as a little fun between the two of them. Out of sight, out of mind.
When they got home, Xu Ai Wen asked them to watch television for a while and that she would call for them once dinner was ready.
She turned and went into the kitchen.
Without a care that Yu Jin was present, He Cheng Ming patted Ji Liaos bottom indicating that he wanted a sweet.
Sweets were kisses.
This was theirtest code.
Ji Liao was shy and gave him a meaningful look, his eyes full of bashful resistance.
He Cheng Ming tried to act cute but realised it wasnt working. So he simply turned around and blocked Yu Jin with his back. Then he held Ji Liaos waist and kissed him deeply.
His tongue swept a circle through Ji Liaos mouth then he pulled back with satisfaction.
Ill go to the kitchen to help your mom while you talk.
He believed that Yu Jin had no malice and was treating Ji Liao with sincerity, so he wasnt worried and decided to please his mother-inw.
Ji Liaoughed at him. Henchman.
He Cheng Ming clicked his tongue and touched Ji Liaos waist. Little heartless thing. Who am I doing it for, huh?
Ji Liao retorted, For your own sake! Hrmph, he should stop using Ji Liao as an excuse.
He Cheng Mings lips curved slightly and he whispered into Ji Liaos ear, Wrong, its so that I can eat you up earlier!
Ji Liao seemed to burn up at the words eat you up and he quickly pushed the boy away, urging him to go.
Yu Jin sat at peace with himself on the sofa, not watching, not listening, not speaking, not moving.
Until Ji Liao called out to him. What are you doing?!
Yu Jin put his palms together and said dispiritedly, Ive be a monk.
Ji Liao turned on the television and said, Then you cant eat the ginger duck that my mom is making. Monks cant eat meat.
Yu Jin retorted immediately, Forget it. Its quite good to be an ordinary folk as well. Eating meat was more important.
Ji Liaoughed and asked him how he was doing with his painting.
Yu Jins mouth opened, boasting greatly of his talent and that he was a Van Gogh reincarnation.
Actually, not a word of it was true and it was all bullshit.
Meng Yao Yao came out to drink some water. Hearing Yu Jins exaggerated and vivid boasting, she couldnt help taking a second look at him. This person was quite interesting. Why hadnt she seen him before?
That evening, dinner was very lively because there were more people present.
Xu Ai Wen had prepared a table full of dishes, asking He Cheng Ming and Yu Jin to eat more. It made Ji Liao unhappy. So I dont need to eat more?!
Xu Ai Wen said, You should eat lesser. If you eat more, youll put on weight. Ji Liao: ...
He suspected that he had been picked up from the garbage heap!
When He Cheng Ming saw this, he quicklyforted him. Its good to grow some meat. Feels good to touch. Ji Liao pinched him. Then why dont you grow some yourself?!
He Cheng Ming thought, if I put on weight, you wouldnt be happy. Previously, Ji Liao had secretly reminded him that he now only had two-pack abs left. That regretful little tone of his really made him want tough in despair.
Be good, Ill grow in other ces. He had ignorantly opened a can of worms.
Ji Liao thought that he was referring to height and pursing his lips, heined, Only you can grow?! He Cheng Mings pupils darkened and staring at Ji Liao, said casually, Its okay, we can enjoy together.
At this, Ji Liao realised what was he saying! Instantly, his face turned red and he almost dropped his chopsticks, wanting to run away immediately.
Beside them, Yu Jin who had heard everything: ...
Who am I? Where am I? Why did Ie for this meal?
He wanted to flip the table!
Chapter 86 - Happy Birthday, Baby
Chapter 86 - Happy Birthday, Baby
On the first day of summer vacation, Ji Liao slept until he woke naturally and stretchedfortably.
It was great to not have to go to school!
He got out of bed to wash up. While brushing his teeth, he tapped on his phone to start a video call with He Cheng Ming.
Right then, He Cheng Ming was already exercising in the gym. The first reason was to exercise his left arm which had been bound for over a month. The second reason was to fulfil Ji Liaos wish.
His baby looked mild but he was actually quite demanding. So taking advantage of the vacation, he had to quickly train his abdominal muscles to avoid making the little guy unhappy when he touched him.
Ji Liao looked at the boy stretching his arm muscles and stopped brushing his teeth. With a mouthful of foam, he said, Are you exercising? You got up so early.
He Cheng Ming did not have the habit ofzing around in bed. Zhao Mei Lan had been strict with him since he was a child. When it was time, he had to get up and it had be a habit after so many years.
He was wearing a racer-back singlet which showed the muscles of his arms to be evidently well-proportioned. Ji Liaos mouth filled with saliva and he forgot to spit it out. His gaze moved along the boys substantial shoulders andnded on his distinct vicle. He watched as sweat slid down his neck and fell, his gaze seeming to sweep over him for another round. Ji Liao stared unblinkingly and he swallowed unconsciously, as a result swallowing the mouthwash.
He Cheng Ming groaned out augh, his voice low and rough. Coupled with his beautiful body and flexing motion, it seemed like a fatal attraction. At once, Ji Liao felt his thing awaken and said with a flushed face, Ill talk to youter.
Quickly turning off his phone, he covered his little heart, looked at his tenting crotch and closed the bathroom door shamefully.
After He Cheng Ming finished hisst move, he got up to grab his phone and sent a mischievous message to Ji Liao: Baby, are you hard?
Ji Liao didnt have time to reply to him now. He was very busy and eager!
He Cheng Ming was greatly encouraged and ran towards the gym. After half a month, the results began to show.
He looked at himself in the mirror, his tall and straight figure and the distinct texturedyer of his abdomen. He wasnt too buff but at the same time, had a well-shaped body. He clicked his tongue and with some calctions, realised that Ji Liaos birthday wasing.
The day before his birthday, He Cheng Ming had gone to the Meng family house for dinner, made Xu Ai Wen happy, then took Ji Liao out for a movie that night.
There were many people at the cinema and He Cheng Ming queued up to buy tickets. He also ordered a popcorn and iced c set with only one straw to share with Ji Liao.
The two of them went into the screening hall holding hands. After sitting down, they realised that the movie was very popr and the ce was almost full. Fortunately, he had resourcefully bought four extra tickets, blocking the path of any bad characters.
Before the movie started, Ji Liao hugged the popcorn and ate happily. He was thirsty for a drink of c but found it in the hands of the other boy. With a meaningful look from him, He Cheng Ming obediently moved it in front of him.
With ack of awareness, Ji Liao sucked on the straw, then heard a girls keening sound from behind him. This feeling of deja vu reminded him of...
Xu Xiao Jing.
He had eventually learned that Xu Xiao Jing was a fujoshi. No wonder every time she saw He Cheng Minging to look for him, she was happier than him.
Ji Liao quietly put the popcorn down and He Cheng Ming smoothly handed him the c &#k2014; the unfailing character of the considerate boyfriend.
The screening hall soon darkened and the movie finally started. It was aedy and Ji Liaoughed several times until He Cheng Ming couldnt help looking at him. He felt very happy and pulled the other boys hand over, sping his fingers tightly.
Ji Liao tilted his head and asked softly, Whats the matter?
He Cheng Ming wanted to say that hisughter sounded so good that instead of watching the movie, he wanted to watch him instead!
But Ji Liaos attention wasnt on him at all. After asking, he just turned his head back to the screen, watching in foolish happiness with a simple-minded appearance.
It was very dark in the cinema and the subtle light from the screen spilt onto the other boys face, making Ji Liaos pupils bright and his eyshes long.
He Cheng Ming had thought over countless times as to why he liked the youth beside him.
Because of his slim waist? Or his straight legs? Or was it his perky bottom the first time he saw him?
He clearly remembered that summer day when he was captivated by the back of the other person. He thought that it was a girl until he had called out, Dad. The clear, youthful voice passed through his eardrums causing a limp and numb feeling to spread all over his body.
Then, Ji Liao turned his head. The ring light from the sun that day couldnt block his bright smile. His eyes were like crystals making him so dazzled that he had trouble breathing and his blood seemed to flow in the opposite direction. At that time, the only word he could think of was innocent but the person wasnt a girl. He would quickly run to Ji Qing Wen and energetically help him with his afternoons work, stirring the cement forcefully. When he was tired, he would sit casually on the ground to rest and fan himself with a straw hat.
Positive, cheerful, lively. Such a boy was more impactful than a soft girl and had mmed his way into his heart instantly.
Later on, he realised that Ji Liao had the freedom he longed for and the happiness he couldnt have. As long as he looked at the boy, some sunlight seemed to shine into his gloomy heart. That feeling of being wrapped in warmth was afort that He Cheng Ming had never enjoyed.
He finally came back to the present when the movie ended.
Ji Liaos hands were held tightly by him. His palms were sweating, so Ji Liao pulled his hand back a little disgusted.
He Cheng Ming smiled and said nothing. He put his arm around his shoulder and they went out.
Ji Liao talked excitedly about theedy they had just watched. Seeing the person beside him not reacting at all, he couldnt help asking, Were you watching earlier or not?!
He Cheng Ming said honestly, No, I wasnt interested in the subject.
Ji Liao turned to shoot him a nce with a strange look in his eye. Then why did you buy the tickets?
He Cheng Ming pinched his face and said fondly, As long as you like it.
This way, even if he didnt like it, he would feel happy apanying the other boy to watch it. The lost time wasnt a waste but well worth it.
Although he had heard the other boys sweet words many times, he was still touched each time. He felt a sweetness in his heart and asked softly, Want a sweet?
He Cheng Ming: !!!
If he didnt take him up on that, he wasnt a man!
He immediately inspected their surroundings for a hidden spot. But after scanning the area, he found that the business centre was full of people which made him angry.
Ji Liao watched his anxious behaviour and a smile as bright as a small sun appeared on his face while the thumping in his heart gradually increased.
He didnt know if the boy remembered that tomorrow was his birthday. Unconsciously, he touched his pocket where he had put his ID card.
Why dont we go out first? Ji Liao suggested. After all, it was a business centre, a ce where you would have to queue even for the toilet.
He Cheng Ming felt like his throat was on fire. Gripping the back of the other boys head, he kissed him without any regard and instantly attracted cheers from the surrounding passersby. There were even people who took out their phones to take a photo...
He Cheng Ming frowned and with his arms around Ji Liao, they strode out.
The electronic time report of the square sounded: Its now 22:00 exactly, Beijing time.
Normally at this time, Ji Liao should be going home. If he didnt go back soon, Xu Ai Wen would call to urge him.
However, neither of them spoke. He Cheng Ming had selfish motives. He hoped that he could apany the boy on his special day but was worried to put Ji Liao in a difficult position, so kept his lips sealed.
Ji Liao touched the ID card in his pocket and his heart beat violently. Licking his lips uneasily, his fingers slowly climbed the palm of the person next to him.
He Cheng Ming grasped him in return, turned to his side and with dark eyes, asked tentatively, Dont go back tonight, okay?
His tone was not enticing in the least bit and neither did he soften his voice to ask in a cute manner. Instead, he was unexpectedly serious and it seemed like as long as Ji Liao said yes, they would be bound in this lifetime.
Okay, I even have my ID card with me. Ji Liaos eyes were bright and focused on the person in front of him.
That look made He Cheng Mings throat tighten and he felt like if heter died on the boys body, he would be perfectly willing to do so.
He pulled him into his arms and they hurried across to the hotel.
Ji Liao was very nervous, his heart feeling like it might break out of its chamber.
He Cheng Ming crossed the street and first, went to the supermarket next door to buy lubricant and several other things that Ji Liao didnt understand.
After registering at the front desk, they went directly to the hotel elevator.
They were silent and patient all the way. After opening the door, their little universe exploded instantly.
Ji Liao was pressed against the back of the door and kissed deeply, while he opened his mouth to bear the storm from the other boy.
Ji Liao whimpered and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
He Cheng Ming licked away his tears with heartache andforted him gently, Dont cry. If you continue crying, Ill be hard again.
With that pitiful appearance, he could stay hard for the entire day!
He Cheng Ming picked up his phone and nced at it. It was already past midnight. He stroked Ji Liaos face with his slender fingers and whispered, Happy birthday, baby.
Ji Liao sniffled and pulled his head out from under his embrace, then held out his hand, saying, Then wheres my birthday present?! His voice was hoarse and low, with a sobbing tone of grievance.
He Cheng Mings lower body quickly recovered, and he was unable to recall anything about where he put the present. He immediately pacified him by saying, Ill give it to you tomorrow. Can we do it again?!
Ji Liao wanted to run but was caught and taught a profound lesson.
It was an endless night and they enjoyed happily without any thoughts of the future.
The next day, Ji Liao woke up and found that his eyes were swollen and his throat dry like a piece of metal.
He Cheng Ming had already gotten up and was sitting beside him, eyeing him with his head tilted. With a sated look on his face, he said attentively, Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?!
Ji Liao opened his mouth and finding that he couldnt make a sound, just nodded his head.
He propped up his body and instantly took a breath of cold air. Why was his waist aching so much?! His behind was burning as well and it was killing him.
Dont move. Lie down a little longer. He Cheng Ming felt guilty and knew that he had gone overboard, so he quickly offered some warm water.
Ji Liao didnt even have the strength to scold him and gulped the water down before feeling a little morefortable.
His mind automatically reyed the madness ofst night and he took a quick look at his body. Except for some areas, he confirmed that there were no other marks and let out a sigh of relief.
It would be disastrous if he were to go back and his mother could see through him!
Right then, Ji Liao thought of Xu Ai Wen and quickly checked his phone. Unexpectedly, there were no missed calls!
Chapter 87 - Shared a Sweet with Him [End of Main Story]
Chapter 87 - Shared a Sweet with Him [End of Main Story]
My mom didnt call mest night.
His expression was a little confused and amazement showed in his eyes. There was a slight swelling around his eyes making him look pitiful and adorable.
He Cheng Mings face darkened slightly and he walked over to ce a soft pillow behind his waist, then said, Ill go back with youter.
He didnt know Xu Ai Wens temperament but now, what was done was done. Regardless of whether Xu Ai Wen wanted to hit or scold him, he would admit it.
Im going out for a while. Breakfast will be delivered soon. You can have some first or wait for me toe back and feed you, okay? He Cheng Ming said, then kissed Ji Liaos forehead.
Ji Liao didnt ask where he was going before nodding obediently, then indicating for him to pour a ss of water before he left as he was very thirsty.
He Cheng Ming poured him some water, then left quickly.
Ji Liao waited for him to leave before wrinkling his face and massaging his sore waist.
It was the first time he had done something like this and he was a little ashamed but was mostly reminiscing. Previously, when he read the book Day and Night with the Bullying President that Xu Xiao Jing had given him, the bed scenes in it were intense resulting in near tearing and even bleeding, which scared him to death. In the end, when he was doing it with He Cheng Mingst night, the other boy kept asking him repeatedly if he felt good, whether he wasfortable, and his tone was so gentle that his body rxed.
From outside came the sound of knocking and Ji Liao was suddenly fully awake. He shook his head what was he thinking?!
Right then, the hotel staff pushed the door in and took the porridge from the dining cart, cing it near the head of the bed, then walked out without so much as a sideways nce.
Ji Liao scooped and ate two mouthfuls. Just as he saw the bottom of the porcin bowl, He Cheng Ming came back with a small bag from the pharmacy in his hand.
What did you buy? He asked curiously.
Anti-inmmatory ointment. Ill help you apply itter. Does it still hurt?
Ji Liaos face reddened and he answered softly, Its alright.
Actually, there was a burning pain but he didnt want the other boy to worry.
He Cheng Mings lips pursed and he was unable to spot any difort. The more Ji Liao endured, the more heartache he would feel. How did he manage to get such a good baby? He couldnt understand it, but since he had managed to encounter him, he had to treasure him!
He had actually always restrained himself. Only when the other boy took the initiative did all his senses fail and only a word remained in his mind: do.
Ji Liaos clothes fromst night were soiled and sent for washing this morning. He Cheng Ming looked at the time and felt that the clothes should already be dry and ready for collection. He called the internal line and asked the hotel staff to deliver the clothes and a hot towel at the same time.
Ji Liao slumped facedown on the bed, holding the hot towel to his swollen eyes with both hands while He Cheng Ming helped him with the medicine behind him. After applying, he felt cool and much morefortable. The hot eyepress was switched to a coldpress and the result was evident. If he didnt look closely, the swelling wasnt obvious.
They packed up and left the room. While He Cheng Ming was checking out, Ji Liao suddenly remembered and reached towards him with both hands. Wheres my present?!
He Cheng Ming turned and framed his chin with his palms. Ill give myself to you.
This move was so sweet that the youngdy at the front deskughed. Then she realised that she was at work and shut her mouth immediately.
Ji Liao withdrew his hands. When they walked out of the hotel, he said resentfully, Did you forget to buy it for me?
What a bad guy! Swindling him into bed on his birthday and not buying him a present!
He Cheng Mingughed and took out a key from his pocket, putting it in his hand. This is the key to my apartment. Youre wee toe over any time.
Then, he handed him a bank card. The passcode is your birthdate. Theres fifty million inside. You can give it to your mother, or keep it for yourself.
After that, he hugged Ji Liao. In the street with peopleing and going, it was very noisy but Ji Liao could hear clearly. He Cheng Ming said, Ive already affixed my stamp on you. You cant run in the future, okay? I dont have anything, just money and an apartment, both of which Ive given to you. Ive also given myself to you, so dont turn your back on me. Therere still many days ahead. If I do something wrong, you can hit me and scold me, but you cant break up with me. These two words should never be mentioned or Ill go crazy. If I go crazy, Ill fuck you to death in bed. Understand, little emperor?!
Ji Liao was initially quite moved, but when he heard that sentence Ill fuck you to death in bed, he couldnt help the softening of his legs and clenched his bottom. With the sudden clench and because his behind was still a little painful, he hissed in a breath.
He quickly returned the bank card to him. Fifty million! He didnt dare to take it. Just leave me the key.
He was still thinking about what the other boy meant with his long speech. Why did it sound like a proposal? But if it was a proposal, why didnt he request for his opinion? Ji Liao frowned in annoyance, feeling that this readingprehension was really difficult and that he couldnt do it.
He Cheng Ming looked at his confused expression and sighed. Lets go, little fool. Ill buy you a present.
Ji Liao instantly puffed out his cheeks and bristled, then told him off, You called me little emperor earlier! In the blink of an eye, he had be a little fool!
He had never seen a man who changed so quickly.
He Cheng Mingughed loudly and put his arm around Ji Liaos waist. Okay, little emperor, lets go. Hubby will buy you a present. You can choose whatever you want.
Ji Liao snorted. Like as if youre the only one with money!
He thought of the hundred million yuan the boy had mentioned previously and asked, Do you really have a hundred million yuan?!
He Cheng Ming nced at him and thinking that Ji Liao was trying to imply something, exined, Yes, another fifty million is in the stock market.
Ji Liao had a shocked expression on his face. So will you be doing this in the future?
I say again. Dont worry, hubby has a sense of propriety and will not be unable to support you.
Thats not what I meant.
Yes, it was.
When they got back to the Meng family home, it was already five in the afternoon.
Xu Ai Wen was watching television in the living room. When Ji Liao opened the door and saw her, his heart trembled and his steps stuttered to a stop.
He Cheng Ming lifted the bag in his hand, pushed him inside, then put the things on the sofa, saying in his usual manner, Auntie, I bought this for you.
Xu Ai Wen didnt appear any different from normal. She looked away from the television and saw the many shopping bags beside her full of branded goods, then smiled and said, Thats very kind of you, Xiao He. Ive told you before not to buy any more.
She acted like she knew nothing when in fact her thoughts were like a mirror. The more expensive the items bought, the more guilty he was. It seemed that they didnt do anything goodst night.
Xu Ai Wen was, after all, an experienced person. The amount of salt she had eaten was more than the amount of rice that both kids had eaten. Could she not see through their thoughts?
It was just that she couldnt stop it. If she was too strict, she was afraid it would cause a bacsh. Moreover, her son was old enough and should learn to be responsible for his own behaviour.
Most importantly, she had changed her opinion of He Cheng Ming and could see that he was a considerate child. Regardless of his status, it was good that he was intelligent and progressive. In addition, he had a n for the future and was someone with a good prospect. Xu Ai Wen could only hope that she had not made an error in judgement.
By the way, today is Tang Tangs birthday. Your Uncle Meng went out to buy a cake and will be back soon. Xiao He, stay for dinner tonight.
Since Xu Ai Wen didnt mention Ji Liaos failure to return home all night, there was a tacit mutual understanding among the three of them. Ji Liao was overjoyed and couldnt help asking excitedly, Mom, what are we eating for dinner?
Xu Ai Wen nced at him, then said brusquely, What are we eating? Something light.
The words were meaningful but Ji Liao didnt understand and only felt rebuffed. He pursed his lips and said, Are you my real mom?
He didnt understand but He Cheng Ming did, bringing him away immediately. Finally, he said solemnly, Thank you, Auntie. I wouldnt let you down. Ji Liao was pulled into the room and in hindsight, asked, Is my mom able to tell?
He Cheng Ming nodded and Ji Liaos eyes widened instantly. He couldnt mask the embarrassment on his face and felt like he had been caught in bed by his mom.
His face began to burn with a light tinge of red, making He Cheng Mings heart itch. Pinching Ji Liaos cheeks, he said, Why are you so thin-skinned? Ji Liao puffed out his cheeks looking as fierce as a pufferfish. Do you think everyone is like you?
He Cheng Ming was amused by him and lifted him onto hisp. Im thick-skinned. If not, how could I have caught you? He remembered that Ji Liao was such a little coward at first, not even daring to reject him!
Fortunately, he didnt dare. Otherwise, there wouldnt be today.
Ji Liao put his arms around his neck and thought of the time when He Cheng Ming had added him as a WeChat contact, scaring him to death. He had thought he offended him and was afraid and flustered. Now, he couldnt help finding it funny.
By the way, how did you get my WeChat contact? They didnt have anymon friends between them.
He Cheng Ming said in a rxed tone, That was easy. All I needed to do was to enquire for your personal data and I could see all your information. Ji Liao had never seen someone so openly abusing his power for personal gain and shrunk his head back. This was someone who couldnt be provoked.
Previously, did you use this method often to pursue someone? He said deliberately.
He Cheng Ming clicked his tongue and wanted to smack his little bottom. Then he remembered that the boy was still sore and withdrew his hand. Nonsense. I only pursued you.
Ji Liao was happy to hear that and couldnt help shaking his legs.
He Cheng Mings face darkened and with a controlled voice, said, Dont twist around like that. Ill catch fire.
Seeing that the boy didnt seem to be joking, Ji Liao got up quickly. His expression was incredulous. This person was too energetic. Being able to get hard after doing it for an entire night, was that thing made of iron?
Before long, Meng Yuan came back. Seeing the table full of light dishes, heined in a straight-guy fashion, Why is the food so in today?! Will it be filling enough?!
Meng Yao Yao was very bright. She realised that Ji Liao didnte backst night and it was the night of his birthday. It was written in all novels what had to happen on this day!
Now seeing that Xu Ai Wen had prepared such light dishes, she immediately got the point and helped the situation by saying excitedly, Its because recently, we all need to lose some weight! Clear the intestines and stomach.
After that, she looked sneakily at He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao, then immediately shared the amazing news with her best friend, Xu Xiao Jing.
Xu Xiao Jing screamed twice, theny on her bed consumed with the sweetness of it.
Xu Ai Wen prepared longevity noodles for Ji Liao, which was a Ji family tradition. Ji Qing Wen said that longevity noodles must be eaten on birthdays. So every year, Xu Ai Wen would cook it for Ji Liao and add two eggs to keep him safe.
Ji Liao enjoyed his food amidst the harmonious interactions.
That night, there happened to be a fireworks disy. Ji Liao was surprised to find that the angle of his balcony was just right for viewing, and it was at the best angle!
He Cheng Ming hugged him from behind and their eyes reflected the sparkling flow of colours.
Happy birthday, little emperor. The boy kissed the face of the person in his arms.
The person in his arms turned his head and shared a sweet with him.

Chapter 88 - Extra 1 C Indulging in Pleasure Without a Thought for Anything Else
After Jiang Qi became pregnant, she was very down.
The He family watched her closely, not letting her touch anything. If she walked too much, she would have to rest. Every day besides eating, she could only sleep. Jiang Qi felt that each day was dull and she was very unhappy.
When He Mu Sheng came back from work, he saw his wifes mood and decided to bring her out for dinner to rx.
They had just entered the restaurant when they saw He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao having a candlelight dinner.
Ji Liao sipped the champagne and asked the person opposite him, Is this alcohol considered strong?
He Cheng Ming was leaning back in his chair with a slight smile on his face and said, Its alright. The alcohol content is about 12%.
After entering their senior year, with the approval of Xu Ai Wen, he helped Ji Liao with his homework revision on weekends. asionally, when he studied until it waste, Ji Liao would sleep in his house. Xu Ai Wen turned a blind eye to this. As long as their behaviour didnt go overboard, she would let the two kids do what they wanted.
So today, after a full day of studying, He Cheng Ming brought Ji Liao out on a date. Since he wanted to improves his grades, his love life had to progress ordingly.
Ji Liao had no concept of alcohol content and felt that as long as the other boy said it was alright, he could drink it at ease so he took another mouthful.
He had just put the ss down when he heard a womans voice behind him. Ji Liao!
Jiang Qi was pleasantly surprised. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been kept at home by He Mu Sheng, unable to ask the other boy to meet her. Unexpectedly, she happened to bump into him today! Her mood suddenly brightened.
Sure enough, it was still the little milk dog that could make her happy!
Jiang Qi bluntly pulled out a chair and sat beside Ji Liao.
The ignored He Cheng Ming met the eyes of He Mu Sheng, both of them with dark expressions on their faces.
Jiang Qi Jie. Ji Liao was a little surprised, his gaze falling on her belly. Was she pregnant?!
He Cheng Ming gave him a friendly reminder. Baby, you should call Sao Zi. Ji Liao red at him, unhappy that he was being called baby in front of others. It was too shameful.
Right then, the server presented the menus, indicating a silent agreement that they were sharing the same table.
Jiang Qi casually ordered some items and quickly said to Ji Liao. It doesnt matter. Just call me Jiejie.
She smiled happily and her tone was very indulgent. Frustrated, He Mu Sheng said abruptly, Call her Sao Zi!
At such a sudden order, Ji Liao swallowed unconsciously. He Cheng Ming exploded immediately and said to his brother, Who are you shouting at?!
Jiang Qi was also unhappy and shot him a look. You keep quiet!
He Mu Sheng: ...
His brother and wife were both crazy!
Ignore him, Ji Liao. Jiejie hasnt seen you for a long time and I miss you very much.
When a woman was pregnant, she became emotional easily. In addition, Jiang Qi had been so bored in the He family home and somehow, she started toin to Ji Liao, Ever since I got pregnant, your brother, oh no, Xiao Mings brother, he wouldnt let me go out. So please let Jiejie look at you and see if youve be milkier.
Ji Liaos face showed confusion and he couldnt understand what her not going out had to do with him bing milkier.
Also, what was that about milk? He was a boy!
Without a care in the world, Jiang Qi pulled Ji Liao to the left and right to look at him, then finally concluded, Are you fatter?! Ji Liao couldnt refute this stab of the knife.
Jiang Qi was extremely happy. Now that youre fatter, youre even cuter!
Previously, his face was thin. Now it had be round and his skin was even better, making her want to pinch it.
Jiang Qi was about to do it but He Cheng Mings discerning eyes saw through her and he threatened immediately, Dont you dare try it!
He was the only one who could pinch his little emperors face!
Jiang Qi was guilty and aggrieved, and she cast a look at her husband for help. He Mu Sheng snorted coldly, indicating that she had better not act rashly or he would go crazy!
Fortunately, the server brought the food right then. Jiang Qi didnt have a good appetite, so she only ate a bit. He Mu Sheng wanted to coax her into eating more, but he didnt know how, as she really couldnt swallow anymore.
Ji Liao, on the other hand, ate with relish. He used a silver fork to twirl some pasta onto it, then put it into his mouth. Before he could finish chewing, he took a piece of steak and continued alternating between the two, asionally taking a mouthful of champagne. It made Jiang Qi feel that the food was delicious and she managed to eat a little more.
At the end of the meal, the portion was actually quiterge and it was the most she had eaten during this period.
Jealousy was jealousy, but for the sake of his wife and child, he was happy to pay the bill.
The four of them walked out of the restaurant.
Ji Liao felt a little dizzy and gave a silly wave to send them off. Goodbye, Da Ge, Da Sao. Looking at his appearance, Jiang Qi felt uneasy and kept turning to look back. She even held onto He Mu Sheng and asked, Do you think Ji Liao is drunk?! He Mu Sheng herded her into the car. Youre worrying for no reason.
When the car disappeared, Ji Liao staggered into He Cheng Mings arms, his face flushed and feeling a little hot.
Although the champagne wasnt very strong, the bubbles in it elerated the rate of alcohol absorption, making it easy to get drunk.
Hubby. Ji Liao called out vaguely, with blurry eyes and both hands grasping the arm of the person in front of him tightly.
He Cheng Mings throat tightened. After ensuring that he was supporting Ji Liao, he held a hand out to g down a taxi.
The other boy seldom took the initiative to address him like that. After drinking today, he had be bold and wanted to challenge him.
In the car, Ji Liao was also restless, his two hands touching his body randomly and he even giggled. Good abs. He Cheng Ming grabbed his hand and obscenely ced it on his crotch, taking the opportunity to say seductively, Which part is the best?
Ji Liao was drunk and not self-conscious. After thinking, he said, Youre the best.
This tempting little demon.
He Cheng Ming hugged him tightly and his heart felt warm. He hadnt pampered him for nothing.
They went directly back to themunity. He Cheng Ming opened the door and Ji Liao slipped on the footwear, then ran to the hall to drink arge mouthful of water. He seemed to sober a little, then turned and said, I want to do it.
He Cheng Ming walked over and picked him up. Ill satisfy you! The lights were left off in the room where heavy breathing and intolerable sobbing sounds rose and fell.
As the weather became colder, Jiang Qis belly got bigger.
Her appetite was still poor, so He Mu Sheng had no choice but to regrly invite Ji Liao out for dinner. He was a senior with a tight ss schedule so could only meet once every two weeks, and it had to be outside.
After Jiang Qis belly was bigger, it wasnt convenient to go out. But if Ji Liao was invited to their home, they were afraid that He Yue Jin would not approve.
Although He Yue Jin was considered to be retired, he hadnt reached any settlement with He Cheng Ming. Neither did the father and son contact each other, and they let each day pass like that.
The doctor said that you dont have enough nutrition so you need to eat more.
He Yue Jin persuaded patiently. It was his golden grandson in that belly and he didnt dare to show any neglect.
Jiang Qi expressed worry on her face. But she couldnt eat. What was she supposed to do?! If she ate too much, she would want to throw up. Whichever she did was ufortable.
This went on for a month until the school had its winter vacation.
Jiang Qi went back to her mothers house for a few days and Meng Yao Yao and Ji Liao came to see her. They made her happy by touching her belly for prenatal education and wishing that after being born, the child would be as milky as Ji Liao if it was a boy, or as pretty as Meng Yao Yao if it was a girl.
Seeing that she was happy, He Mu Sheng followed her to live in her mothers home, making He Yue Jin very angry. He felt like the younger generation was going against him. Did they all want to iste him?!
Immediately, he went to look for Zhao Mei Lan, wanting her to call He Cheng Ming and ask if he wasing home during his vacation. Was he not going to celebrate Chinese New Year with them?!
Of course, Zhao Mei Lan hoped that father and son would reconcile and quickly sent news to He Cheng Ming. But He Cheng Mings tone was light and just said that he understood and would go back when he had time.
Hearing this, He Yue Jin was furious and yelled at the phone, I think youre indulging in pleasure and forgetting your home and duties! The other side just hung up the phone. He Yue Jin had momentary shortness of breath and bearly kept himself from fainting.
After simmering for a few days, white hairs sprouted at both temples but he didnt bother to dye it. Looking at therge He family house full of busy servants, he was instead lonely. He looked back on the past few years and how he had invested almost nothing in his family, culminating in no one pleasing or attending to him in his old age.
He Yue Jin stood on the second floor with his phone in hand. Zhao Mei Lan was in the kitchen learning from Auntie He on how to make soup, nning on not only pleasing Jiang Qi but also making it for He Cheng Ming to drink, thus killing two birds with one stone.
She had thought it through. Although there was no hope for a biological grandson, she could still hold He Mu Shengs son.
Zhao Mei Lan carried the soup out. Seeing that He Yue Jin was around, she called him over to taste it.
He Yue Jin went downstairs, sat at the table and drank two mouthfuls. Then he said to her, Go and persuade Xiao Ming toe home, at least for Chinese New Year! Which familys son made him like this?! Wanting me to bow down and admit to a mistake wont do!
Once he mentioned He Cheng Ming, he got angry. He was an unfilial son, specially reincarnated to anger him!
If he insists on bringing him over, then let him! He Yue Jin made the biggest concession and angrily threw the porcin spoon onto the table.
Zhao Mei Lan looked shocked and reminded him, During Chinese New Year, your good friends will alwayse over to visit. If they see...
He Yue Jin smacked the table loudly. What happens if they see?! Isnt that what your good son has chosen?! He left with his hands sped behind his back, his departing figure looking miserable like a defeated rooster.
Zhao Mei Lan was a little slow to recover. Did this mean that he epted Ji Liaos status?! It was absurd. How was it possible for that stick-in-the-mud?!
She quickly went over to He Cheng Mingsmunity, happily wanting to tell him the good news.
In the end, the door wasnt closed properly and it opened with a push. She saw her son making out intensely with his little boyfriend and couldnt bear to look directly at the scene.
Zhao Mei Lan coughed. Hearing the sound, Ji Liao got up from He Cheng Mings body immediately.
How did youe in? He Cheng Ming frowned at the interruption.
The keys to this apartment had been changed long ago. Currently, only he and Ji Liao had them.
Your door wasnt closed. What if the neighbours saw... Zhao Mei Lan was ashamed to finish her sentence.
What happens if they see? He Cheng Ming didnt care and wiped Ji Liaos mouth with his thumb. The earlier kiss had been so sweet.
Zhao Mei Lan couldnt look and exined the reason. Your dad has given in and asked me to call you back. He already said that if you want to bring Ji Liao, you can.
I can? He Cheng Ming sneered. Do I have to go back just because he wants me back?
His life was good now. He had warm fragrance in his arms every day while doing homework and flirting, and was enraptured all day long.
He Yue Jin was right about one thing. He was indulging in pleasure without a thought for anything else.
Zhao Mei Lan was anxious. Whats the matter with you? Your dad has given in to you. What else do you want?!
Chapter 89 - Extra 2 – Indulging in Pleasure Without a Thought for Anything Else
Chapter 89 - Extra 2 C Indulging in Pleasure Without a Thought for Anything Else
So what? Should he be grateful and kneel down in tears to kowtow to him?
He Cheng Ming dropped his eyes indifferently and the corner of his lips lifted in a sneer.
He Yue Jin might be a good businessman but he wasnt a good husband, let alone a good father.
He didnt take any responsibilities for Zhao Mei Lan nor did he give He Cheng Ming any fatherly love.
Zhao Mei Lan was willing topromise but he wasnt.
I dont want to do anything about it. You can leave.
The rtionship between him and He Yue Jin had been gging for much longer than a day or two and it wasnt that important now whether he went back or not. As for Chinese New Year, he would think about it when it was time.
Zhao Mei Lans mindset of the husband is everything was deeply rooted. Hearing his perfunctory words, she stomped her foot in anger and turned to Ji Liao, saying dejectedly, Ji Liao, do you think hes right in doing this? Can you help Auntie to persuade Xiao Ming?
Ji Liao shivered when he heard his name. He hadnt forgotten how Zhao Mei Lan had previously humiliated him with a cheque. But now, her low voice and humble attitude made his heart soften a little. She was, after all, He Cheng Mings mother.
He looked up at the boy beside him.
He Cheng Ming motioned for him to let it be, then promised with a frown, Ill go back in two days.
At this, Zhao Mei Lan smiled and said quickly, Good, good. Mom recently learned to make soup. When youre back, you can have some to drink. He Cheng Ming looked at her strangely and didnt answer.
On the eve of Chinese New Year, He Cheng Ming returned home.
He Mu Sheng was watching television with Jiang Qi in the living room. Seeing him return, Jiang Qi asked immediately, Wheres Ji Liao? Didnt Ji Liaoe? He Cheng Ming replied, No. Hes at his own home. Jiang Qi was instantly disappointed. It wasnt easy for Dad to approve. She thought that he would surely bring Ji Liao back this year but she had been happy for nothing!
He Cheng Ming didnt think much of it. No one was superior to him. He Yue Jins approval was his issue. It didnt mean that Ji Liao had toe. He had the right to refuse.
There were fruits on the coffee table and He Cheng Ming peeled a banana, talking to He Mu Sheng about the stock market while he ate.
Zhao Mei Lan had gotten up early this morning to make chicken soup. She used adle to scoop away the oil floating on the surface, then filled a small bowl for Jiang Qi. When she brought it out, she couldnt hide her joy at seeing her son back.
Thank you, Auntie Zhao.
Jiang Qi was a sweet-talker and currently got along well with Zhao Mei Lan.
Zhao Mei Lan nodded and reminded her, Drink it while its hot. Jiang Qi answered, Okay.
Next to them, He Cheng Ming stared. Had his mother been possessed by a ghost? Suddenly turning into a loving mother?
Your Sao Zi doesnt eat meat. Ill prepare a bowl of meat each for you and your brother to eat.
Zhao Mei Lan had a naturally-born gentleness. Now, this appearance of being a good wife and loving mother made He Yue Jin very satisfied.
When he saw that the house was, atst, a little livelier uponing down the stairs, he was in high spirits and ordered the housekeeper to summon the servants. He would be giving them red packets in advance this year!
When Zhao Mei Lan went into the kitchen, He Cheng Ming asked He Mu Sheng in a low voice, Has my mother been like this recently? In the past, even when she got up from the bed, she needed a servant to turn over the quilt. Now, she was cooking?
He Mu Sheng touched Jiang Qis belly and felt that the main credit went to the baby who had changed everyone in the family.
You need toe back asionally to stay for two days. Dont hang around outside all the time. The old man isnt stopping you now, so whatre you throwing a tantrum for? He Mu Sheng berated him with a stern expression and stood with the posture of an older brother.
He Cheng Ming shifted his eyes away unnaturally. Whos throwing a tantrum? You have no idea howfortable I am outside. He leaned back on the sofa thinking about the reasons he didnt want toe back.
It was because there was a very rigid hierarchical system here. But he saw He Yue Jin handing out red packets to the servants in the yard, each of them happily saying Happy New Year, President He, President He, youre in high spirits today! It seemed that the gap wasnt that insurmountable.
It was because of Zhao Mei Lans heartlessness. But now, she was holding a bowl of soup full of chicken in front of him and saying gently, Xiao Ming, eat more. In the past, Mom has let you down and didnt properly shower you with love. Next time, Mom will change.
The woman was nearly forty and wearing a red, close-fitting cheongsam, very suitable for the Chinese New Year atmosphere. Her voice had the grace and sweetness of a Jiangnan woman but it held a trace of regret.
Hearing this, He Cheng Mings eyes reddened, his gaze firmly trained on the bowl of soup and after a pause, said, Mom, are you raising a pig? Can I finish so much?!
It was not revealed on Zhao Mei Lans face but she was overwhelmed. How long had it been since she heard her son calling her Mom? Ever since the two of them fell out, he had called her Ms. Zhao, wishing to anger her to death!
After serving another bowl to He Mu Sheng, Zhao Mei Lan said with a smile, If your brother can finish it, why cant you?! He Mu Sheng interjected expressionlessly, Oh, my wife forced me. When Jiang Qi heard, she said, Huh? I forced you?
He Mu Shengs will to survive was strong and he changed his tone immediately. No, I love eating meat.
He Cheng Ming kicked him. Spineless thing!
The pregnant Jiang Qi was between the two of them. Zhao Mei Lan was scared to death by her sons behaviour and immediately smacked him while saying, No respect! If you touch your Sao Zi!
After being hit, He Cheng Ming was speechless but the corner of his lips curved and he felt that this ce was finally like a home.
He Yue Jin felt the same. After distributing the red packets, he was in a good mood. When he came in and saw his harmonious family, he couldnt help the tears running down his cheeks.
He walked over and asked Jiang Qi, Did you do the ultrasound scan yesterday?
Jiang Qi said, Yes, the photo is in the room! Show it to me!
He Yue Jin was now counting on Jiang Qi to give birth to the child quickly so he could be a grandfather.
After He Mu Sheng brought down the photo, Zhao Mei Lan moved closer as well. After seven months, the childs basic shape was visible, his hands and legs clearly seen.
He Yue Jin pondered and said, It should be a granddaughter.
He had enough of being set up by his two sons and felt that a girl was better. Girls were obedient and wouldnt talk back to him. A little granddaughter would be very cute.
Zhao Mei Lan said, I think its most likely a grandson! People say if a pregnant woman ate sour food, it would be a boy, and if it was spicy food, it would be a girl. Qi Qi eats so much sour food, so its surely a grandson! He Yue Jin kept a straight face. Then just have a granddaughter the next time.
Jiang Qi: ...
During the New Years Eve dinner, He Yue Jin gave everyone red packets. Even Zhao Mei Lan had her share and she was very happy after feeling the thickness of it.
Because Jiang Qi was pregnant, He Yue Jin gave her five percent of his He group shares which deeply touched He Mu Shengs heart.
But they were Jiang Qis shares. The child in her belly was a tiny life so needed to be given a red packet as well. He Yue Jin smilingly gave it to Jiang Qi who collected it on behalf.
Then it was He Cheng Mings turn and the father and son red at each other.
He Yue Jin was discontented. This unfilial son had not called him Dad when he arrived and it seemed like he still hated him! At this thought, He Yue Jin snorted.
He Cheng Ming felt that the older this man got, the more he dwindled. He took the red packet directly from his hand and said indifferently, Thanks, Dad. He Yue Jin coughed and his face suddenly glowed.
After their New Year Eves dinner, a Spring Festival party started in the living room where the family yed mahjong.
Three of them with surname He were from the same line and they all knew how to plot. They turned Zhao Mei Lan inside out, making her lose all the money from the red packet she had just received. She was so angry that she gave up. Im not ying anymore.
As her biological son, He Cheng Ming pushed over a stack of banknotes. Take it.
Zhao Mei Lan picked it up and counted it. It was more than what she had just lost! So she kept it immediately and escaped for a night of beauty sleep.
When it was midnight, He Cheng Ming called Ji Liao. Happy Chinese New Year, baby. This was their second new year together.
In future, there would be countless.
On the second day of Chinese New Year, He Cheng Ming apanied Jiang Qi back to her mothers house.
He Cheng Ming brought Ji Liao home to y.
It was the first time Ji Liao hade over and he was extremely nervous. But He Cheng Ming kept holding his hand, their warm palms touching gently.
When the servants of the He family heard that the second young master had a boyfriend and even brought him home, they ran out for a look, one after another. They were very cordial towards Ji Liao, serving tea and sending water.
After a while, He Yue Jin called Ji Liao to the study room and asked in a calm voice, Do you know how to make tea?
Ji Liao nodded. I do.
He Yue Jin invited him to sit down and handed him the tea leaves and hot water.
Ji Liaos actions were familiar. Because Ji Qing Wen liked to drink tea, he was good at making it and taught him. After filtering the water, he poured a cup for He Yue Jin.
He Yue Jin took a sip and said lightly, Its not as good as your fathers. You know my father?
The words were out before Ji Liao remembered that Ji Qing Wen had built the vi for the He family. But the other mans status was so high. Would he really have had contact with his father?
Your father is a down-to-earth man.
When He Yue Jin said this, he stared at Ji Liaos face. Seeing that he didnt understand the implication, he couldnt help raising his eyebrows.
Then, He Cheng Ming pushed open the door and came in. He had been called away by Zhao Mei Lan to taste something and when he turned back, Ji Liao had disappeared. Hearing the servant say that He Yue Jin had called him away, he was so afraid that he broke out in cold sweat and ran over immediately.
What are the two of you talking about?
He Cheng Ming walked over, his eyes originally full of vignce. When he saw the red packet in He Yue Jins hand, he stopped.
Ji Liao appeared to be embarrassed. Theres really no need, Uncle. The red packet looked very valuable. How could he ept it?!
When He Cheng Ming saw what was happening, he released a breath, then conveniently took it on behalf of Ji Liao. Take it. You dont need to help him save money. Anyway, when hes old, well have to take care of him. He Yue Jin really didnt know whether to be angry orugh and downed a cup of tea to put out the fire.
As soon as the three of them left the study room, the housekeeper led the Gu couple and Gu Ming Ren in. They were here for a Chinese New Year visit.
When Gu Ming Ren saw Ji Liao, he stiffened. Then his face trembled slightly while his two hands were clenched tightly in his pockets.
He Cheng Ming had really brought him home.
While the Gu couple and He Yue Jin talked in the living room, Gu Ming Ren went outside to smoke with He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao.
To be exact, he was the only one smoking.
Youre really awesome.
He held the cigarette between his fingers, blowing out smoke while he spoke.
He Cheng Mingughed and hugged Ji Liaos shoulders, his face full of contentment.
Congrattions.
Gu Ming Ren didnt know what kind of mood he was in now. The other boys perfect life made him see the dawn and maybe that it wasntpletely impossible. He squinted, lifted his chin and blew out a dense cloud of smoke.
After a long time, he threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. Hell try again.
Chapter 90 - Extra 3 - The Sweetest Graduation Photo
Chapter 90 - Extra 3 C The Sweetest Graduation Photo
Before the college entrance exams, the school arranged to take the graduation photos.
The entire level went out in order, one ss at a time. Reasonably speaking, He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao wouldnt be able to meet each other this way. However, some rich person donated a batch of sports equipment to the school in his own name and forced the principal to say that ss two and ss twelve were to take photos together.
ss twelve was having lessons and cheered when they heard the news. Even by using ones toes to think, everyone knew what was going on and winked at Ji Liao. Chen Li Wen whistled in an unruly manner and almost stood up to shout He Cheng Ming is awesome.
Back then when the two of them were together, most people in the ss were not optimistic, feeling that Ji Liao was too dull. Even if He Cheng Ming was bent, he would only be fresh for a while and thrown away after being yed with. But no one expected that after a year, the two of them were as close as ever.
Ji Liao was teased until his face flushed and his heart was pounding. He secretly sent a message to He Cheng Ming: What are you doingduck?!
He had recently taken on a cute style when chatting and the duck word at the tail end of his message made He Cheng Mings mood lift. Leaning against the wall, he replied: Later, well take photos together.
The formation of ss two had already been arranged and only He Cheng Ming had not arrived. The ss monitor inspected the area, saw him hiding and ying with his phone and knew that his soul had again been hooked away by the one from ss twelve. He urged, Ming Ge, time to take photos!
At this, He Cheng Ming walked over.
As the outstanding graduate of the year, he should have sat beside the principal. But he silently stood right at the back and nobody dared to persuade him to move, because he would be unmovable.
He Cheng Ming thought that by hiding in the corner, nobody would pay any attention to him. Unexpectedly, just as the photo was about to be taken, the photographer suddenly raised his head and called out, Hey, the handsome guy in thest row, since youre so handsome, put on a smile.
The whole ss was so happy and only he had a straight face. Moreover, this face was too eye-catching. It would be too dramatic!
Lin Jiang was standing beside He Cheng Ming and thinking that the photographer was referring to him, he immediately rushed to answer, Eh, my mouth is already grinning so widely, how should I be smiling?! The photographer replied to him, Im not talking about you! Im talking about the handsome guy next to you! ss two roared withughter.
It was probably due to being so near graduation that the teachers who normally felt that Lin Jiang was mischievous found him very cute today, and they didnt even warn him for being rude. Instead, theyughed with everyone.
He Cheng Ming tugged at the corners of his mouth and it unnaturally hooked in a curve.
The photographer was still not satisfied. Handsome guy, dont give a fake smile! Please be a little more sincere! He Cheng Ming wanted to kick over his camera. Such a chatterbox when hes just supposed to take a photo.
Right then, the boys and girls of ss twelve strolled over. Seeing this, someone took the lead in shouting out, Ming Ge give a smile, Ji Liao cant run off.
People behind started making a fuss, pushing and shoving to find Ji Liao.
The entire school knew that after He Cheng Ming got into a rtionship, the tyrant became a loyal dog. As long as it was regarding Ji Liao, he wouldnt get angry.
Ji Liao had originally been walking along just fine when he was suddenly carried away by several boys. Then, these people called out in front of him, Ming Ge give a smile, Ji Liao cant run off.
When Ji Liao saw He Cheng Ming, his face flushed and he wanted to run but was surrounded by boys.
Ji Liao say something. Ji Liao, give us a wink!
Ji Liao, dont be shy. If youre a man, then shout it out!
He Cheng Ming had long since been grinning from ear to ear. The photographer quickly pressed the shutter button and concluded the task of ss twos graduation photo.
After He Cheng Ming was done, he strode over to the group of ss twelve boys and rescued Ji Liao. Be more polite to my little emperor. His tone was indulgent, making the ss twelve boys p their thighs and wishing they could also get involved with a guy.
Oh, little emperor. Thats a wonderful nickname. Cant provoke you. Little old me will withdraw. Ah ah ah ah, my CP is being sweet again!
Thest sentence was obviously from Xu Xiao Jing, who was so happy she was running around like a screaming chicken.
With the ss twelve photo-taking following immediately after, the photographer understood the situation very well. Before he took the photo, he asked them, Ming Ge give a smile. ss twelve answered together, Ji Liao cant run off!
The overall atmosphere was so good that it almost felt like a party. Even the teachers were blushing and had to admit that it was good to be young they could love as they wanted and disy it openly.
Once it was over, the rest of the time was free for group photos.
He Cheng Ming saw Lin Jiang doing nothing and lifted him up. Use your phone to take some photos for me and Ji Liao. They got together here and wanted to corroborate it with some photos.
Lin Jiang felt that it was just a matter of taking some posed photos and waspletely okay with it. In the end, He Cheng Ming told him, You judge for yourself when to capture a snapshot. Make sure its good. Firstly, it took skill to capture a snapshot and he didnt know how. Secondly, it took skill to make it good and he also didnt know how.
Do you have a problem? He Cheng Ming seemed to sense Lin Jiangs rebellion and asked dangerously.
Lin Jiang shook his head immediately. No problem. Xiao K died. He Cheng Ming reminded him with a straight face, Speak less English in future. To avoid being beaten up.
Lin Jiang thought that his pronunciation was up to standard and repeated Xiao K died three or four times. When Ji Liao walked over and heard, he asked, Who is Xiao K? Why is he dead?
Lin Jiang felt like a cold knife had just been inserted into his abdomen.
Because Xiao Ks English isnt good. He Cheng Ming added another knife.
Lin Jiang, being stabbed by two knives in a row, was very angry. If the two of you continue like this, I wont do it!
Ji Liaoughed. He Cheng Ming turned to give him a kiss, then asked Lin Jiang, Did you capture it?! Lin Jiang: ???
Capture what.
That dog food that was just given without any warning?
He Cheng Ming looked at him meaningfully. Take a good photo. If its good, therell be a reward.
Lin Jiangs fervour appeared instantly and he asked stealthily, Ming Ge, tell me the truth. What reward?
He Cheng Ming arched a brow. Seven-day tour in Europe, all-inclusive.
Lin Jiang eximed, Fuck, you should have said it earlier!
He began to look out for various angles zealously. No matter what the two of them were doing, he had to take a photo first. In the end, the shameless He Cheng Ming pressed Ji Liao against the library door for a kiss.
This move made Lin Jiang confused. Was he supposed to capture this or not?!
He wanted to look, but at the same time didnt dare to. He felt a slight itch in his heart, like as if ants were biting at it. Finally, he found himself a reason: Im a professional photographer. This is art.
With that, he stared unblinkingly at the phone. On the screen, his Ming Ge, who normally walked with confidence, was facing Ji Liao, his eyes full of tender desire. Their red tongues were intertwined and unwilling to separate.
Lin Jiang cursed and wondered why it wasnt over yet. If he continued watching, his blood would be boiling!
After frantically pressing the shutter button, he kept the phone. Inexplicably feeling a little envious, he licked his lips.
Ji Liao pushed the other boy away to catch his breath and he panted gently, his body still feeling a little weak.
He Cheng Ming put an arm around his waist, and with the tips of their noses touching, he said, Why are you being so obedient today? Ji Liao was shy and usually didnt allow He Cheng Ming to kiss him like this in front of others but he didnt refuse today!
Because I felt like you did it on purpose to show Lin Jiang.
He Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows, pleasantly surprised at their meeting of minds. He replied softly, Yes, I want to see if he really is that straight.
Ji Liao asked, So is he? He Cheng Ming shook his head. Im not sure. Then didnt we kiss for nothing?!
He Cheng Mingughed and pinched Ji Liaos waist with vicious delight. Whats that? Werent you feeling good earlier? Ji Liao blushed. This guy really could just say anything.
Lin Jiang waited for them to finish their flirting, then went over to report thepletion of his mission. He didnt know how well the photos turned out as his embarrassment made himck the courage to look through them.
In the end, after He Cheng Ming examined them, he felt that they would do. They were very affectionate in one of the photos and he wanted to keep it forever.
After the college entrance exams, there were nearly three months of vacation.
He Cheng Ming nned to go on a graduation trip with Ji Liao and to fulfil his promise to Lin Jiang at the same time, he set the location as Europe.
He called Gu Ming Ren, wanting to confirm the departure time with him but the other boy told him that he wouldnt be going!
He Cheng Ming grimaced. You fucking say that again?!
Earlier, the other boy had asked him for help to trick Lin Jiang intoing out to y. So he made up a prize for the photo-taking and even nned to sacrifice his and Ji Liaos couple tour to bring the two of them. In the end, Gu Ming Ren said he wasnt going?!
If you dont go, Ji Liao and I have to bring Lin Jiang and well have a family of three on this trip?
He Cheng Ming was furious. If they brought two people, they could still have fun separately, but bringing one was just like having a third wheel!
At the other end of the line, there was silence. Then a deep voice said, Something might be happening to the Lin family soon. He Cheng Ming was immediately serious. How do you know?
Gu Ming Ren rubbed the bridge of his nose where his sses were pressing painfully against. His voice was tired when he said, I heard.
That day when he passed his fathers study room, he heard someone inside saying that a sum of dirty money from abroad had flowed into city A, then disappeared without a trace. The Municipal Bureau had already set up an investigative team and would trace it to the Lin family in the next two days.
You bring him along.
Gu Ming Ren had thought about it for a long time and decided to get Lin Jiang away first. As for what to do about his parents, he would think of something.
He Cheng Ming was silent, then after a long time, answered with a word, Okay.
He had a hunch about what the other boy would do but he didnt ask and just reminded him, You do what you can. Lin Jiang was ecstatic when he received the news about the seven-day tour in Europe.
Damn, am I really going? He thought that the other boy was only joking!
He Cheng Mings tone was indifferent. Yes, well leave tomorrow. You can start preparing. Lin Jiang was still having fun outside and upon hearing that it was tomorrow, he said, So urgent?! It sounded like an impromptu decision.
He Cheng Ming put his irritable character into y. If you want to go, then go. If you dont, then get lost.
Lin Jiang gave in immediately. Ill go, Ill go. Im a bastard if I dont take advantage of this! Its fine even if we leave immediately!
With that, he immediately went home to pack.
Only the housekeeper was at home. Lin Jiang asked casually, My parents seem to be quite busy recently? Every day, they went out early and returnedte. He didnt know what they were doing.
The housekeeper replied, It seems like theres a serious problem at thepany.
Lin Jiang acknowledged with an oh and feeling that he couldnt help withpany matters anyway, maybe his parents would be morefortable if he went away.
Besides, what could happen to thepany? Could it go bankrupt overnight?
He went to pack his clothes eagerly.
Chapter 91 - Side Story 1 - Fine, Ill Sell it to You (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 91 - Side Story 1 C Fine, Ill Sell it to You (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
It was a hot night and two inseparably close bodies went from the sofa to the bed, from the toilet to the kitchen.
Lin Jiang clenched his teeth firmly, enduring the desperate and repeated crushing of the other person.
He woke up on his bed startled and sat up suddenly, causing the bunk bed to rock violently.
From below came the voice of a rugged man, What are you doing, bro? Im drinking soy milk and it spilt all over me!
It was his roommate, Hao Meng.
Lin Jiangs head drooped and he said in a dry voice, Im sorry.
Sweat slid down his forehead. A transparent stic bag of bread was thrown onto the table with a thud, the sound especially loud in the quiet morning. It cant be. Youre having nightmares again?
Hao Meng took two pieces of tissue paper and wiped at his soiled shirt vigorously, then sighed. Hell have to wash another shirt.
Not that he wanted to say it, but he had never seen a man at this age who had nightmares so often! He didnt know what kind of evil the boy had encountered to have this happen so frequently. Moreover, every time it happened, he was drenched in sweat from head to toe as if he had just been fished out of the water. If not for the pale face, he would have thought it was an erotic dream!
After removing his shirt to wash it, Hao Meng advised him before going out, I really think its quite creepy. You had better go and seek advice from someone who knows the ropes. Especially for us with a major in the excavation of tombstones, its normal for us to experience retaliation from vengeful or malicious spirits. Who asked us to meddle in other peoples things, right?
Lin Jiang didnt pay any attention to him, feeling that his roommates brain had short-circuited. Not to mention they were only freshmen who hadnt even attended any of their specialized courses and already he was talking about evil spirits. Terrific.
Climbing down from the bed, Lin Jiang shivered as he felt a cold wind against his drenched back.
He walked into the bathroom for a shower and looked at his body. The marks left by that person had vanished long ago but the madness of that night still remained in his mind and he had even dreamed of it from time to time.
At first, the pain was very clear, as if it would tear him apart. Later, when a certain point was jabbed, the feel of his climax was more profound. He couldnt help crying out, but his mouth was covered and he wasnt allowed to.
Every time, he had been entered from behind, so he couldnt see the face of the other person. He didnt know what kind of expression was present when he was being smashed to pieces. Was it ridicule? Or a sneer? After all, he had previously dered shamelessly to him, Im straighter than a steel bar. Its impossible!
Lin Jiang turned on the tap and washed his face. The once-proud rich second generation was now a destitute bum who sold his body. The amount of time that had passed was only three months.
Three months ago, the second week after the college entrance exams, the police came to their door saying that his father was suspected of illegal moneyundering and had to go to the police station for investigation.
At that time, Lin Jiang had juste back from his graduation trip with He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao. He didnt know anything and didnt even see his father. When he tried to call, the phone was turned off. Later, he learned from the news that his parents had run away with the money and left the country. Their specific location was unknown.
The Lin family had been barred. Overnight, he was alone and impoverished.
His phone blew up with calls so he simply threw it away and staggered out of the house. After a few days passed in a blur, he met Gu Ming Ren.
Since thest time the boy was rejected by him, he had never bothered him again. This was the first time he stood in front of him again, still wearing his pair of gold-rimmed sses with a cold, noble appearance towering above him and looking at his iparably sorry figure.
Lin Jiang used to be able to see a little love or affection from the boys eyes. But now, there was nothing there and the depth was scary.
He threw aside the empty beer bottle in his hand and shouted dejectedly like a drunk for him to get lost!
Nevertheless, Gu Ming Ren said lightly, I was the one who notified your parents, gave them a sum of money and sent them away. Lin Jiangs eyes widened and he turned abruptly, grabbing the other boys cor. What did you say?! The smell of alcohol from his mouth was strong but Gu Ming Ren seemed to be unaware of it and just looked at him expressionlessly.
After a long time, Lin Jiang released him and hung his head in defeat. He muttered to himself, Good if they left. They dont have to go to prison. He squatted down and put his head in his hands, rubbed his face then asked, Didnt they say what I should do? They left with such ease and without a thought for their son.
Gu Ming Ren stepped in front of him and bent over, saying, Do you need help? I can help you.
Lin Jiang was silent at first, thenughed and asked with narrowed eyes, Are you so set on my bottom? Gu Ming Ren face chilled. If you dont, then forget it.
With that, he turned to leave. Lin Jiangs mind whirled. Who else could he rely on for help?
His mothers side basically had only poor rtives who hade to borrow money a few times before. When they refused, the rtionship soured. His father had a younger brother who got along quite well with them but he was too far away in the northern part of the country. Now, he didnt even have the money to take the train.
Fine, Ill sell it to you.
Lin Jiang stood up and walked unsteadily to stand in front of Gu Ming Ren, deliberately letting out a belch to disgust him.
Later, Gu Ming Ren led him to the ce he lived at and even let him register for University As most neglected major, archaeology. Through means unknown to him, he received the admission notice and became his schoolmate.
For the next two months, he lived with Gu Ming Ren and cut off all contact with everyone else including He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao. Every day, all he did was y games and eat. Gu Ming Ren didnt touch him or even talk to him much and yet, still transferred money to him regrly.
This kind of life made Lin Jiang flustered. Finally, a week before the semester at University A started, he took the initiative to seduce Gu Ming Ren. Although he was really done in, he felt relieved. He couldnt ept the other boys generosity without good cause so they could only trade with each other.
He didnt want to owe Gu Ming Ren, not at all.
When Lin Jiang came out from his shower, he got dressed, picked up his books and prepared to go to ss.
This time, he had restrained himself somewhat and tried to pay attention in ss. But as soon as he started listening, he would feel sleepy and realised that he wasnt studying material, so he just did as he pleased. In any case, he would be studying blindly.
Hao Meng came back after washing his clothes and seeing that he was about to leave, called out hastily, Wait for me. Lets go together!
University A had very few students majoring in archaeology, with only about ten to twenty students in the whole department. There were four boys, two of whom rented their own ce outside, so only he and Hao Meng lived in the dormitory.
Lin Jiang waited for him, then they went to attend theirmon sses, cultivation of morals and ethics, and legal foundation.
It was held in arge ssroom. They went in and found that it was full of people. At a nce, they were all girls.
Hao Meng was very excited. This is the first time Im having a ss with so many girls! University is great!
With that, he found a seat and sat there by himself. Lin Jiang thought to himself, he didnt want to sit with him and yet still made him wait?
His gaze swept around the room and he was about to cross it when the girls suddenly got excited. They suppressed their voices and blinked, looking towards the door. Lin Jiang turned his head, saw Gu Ming Ren and unconsciously clenched his bottom.
Chapter 92 - Side Story 2 - Completely Aloof Today (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 92 - Side Story 2 C Completely Aloof Today (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Gu Ming Ren was dressed in a white shirt and casual pants, walking coldly towards him with a book in his right hand.
Lin Jiang stared at the expression of self-restraint on that face and his mind filled with images of him pounding into his body. A word appeared in his limited vocabry: brute.
After that time, Gu Ming Ren left and hadnt shown up until today, so he hadnt had the chance to ask him how to define their rtionship in school.
When they met face-to-face like this, should they greet each other? Or pretend not to know each other? After all, he was only someone who was selling his body, not someone worth having a name in front of Gu Ming Ren, an A-lister male god.
However, without waiting for him to ask, Gu Ming Ren had already answered with his actions. Expressionless, he brushed past Lin Jiangs shoulder without even giving him a look.
Lin Jiangs body stiffened for a moment, then a smile tugged at his mouth revealing two sharp little canine teeth.
Fine, he got it.
Lin Jiang found an empty seat and sat down.
The ss and attendance-taking started. The old professor was charming and had a sense of humour. He flipped through the list and said, Todays ssroom is full of spring. I see that its that beautiful flower that has attracted the bees and butterflies.
The girls burst outughing without reservations and they continuously cast admiring nces towards Gu Ming Ren.
He was the science top scorer of the entire province and the only son of a wealthy family. His attractiveness and intelligence quotient were both high. How could such a male lead with a background seemingly brought to life from a novel not move any girl? They were unafraid to express fancy ttery.
Names like high-born nobility, reserved school grass and A-lister male god were all applied to Gu Ming Ren.
Lin Jiang heard and couldnt help but sneer and ridicule him secretly. If not for his Ming Ge being rmended for direct admission and not needing to take the college entrance exams, would the title of science top scorer have gone to Gu Ming Ren?
Thinking of He Cheng Ming, Lin Jiangs eyes darkened and he felt that he couldnt face him. Regardless of him having nothing, now he had even be the prisoner of his good friends crotch. Thisyer of rtionship made him unable to lift his head.
Therefore, he hadnt contacted him. Only Gu Ming Rens number was saved in his new mobile sim card.
In a sh, the ss was over.
Hao Meng came over and nudged him. Lets go and eat. Lin Jiang picked up his book and followed Hao Meng out of the ssroom.
Just after ss, the canteen was full of people.
Lin Jiangs young master attitude reared its head and he didnt want to wait in line. He wanted to go out to eat but Hao Meng was a down-to-earth person and advised him, Its expensive to eat outside. The canteen has cheap and delicious food.
Impatient, Lin Jiang blurted out, Ill treat you!
But he regretted it once the words were out. What money did he have now to treat people?
Hao Meng immediately dragged him outside. Then hurry up. There are too many people here. Lin Jiang wanted to keep up appearances at all cost and he stuffed both hands into his pockets, pretending to be generous but internally worried to death.
Fortunately, Hao Meng was ignorant and didnt rip him off too much. After they had lunch in a Chinese restaurant and he settled the bill, Lin Jiang realised that he only had two hundred yuan left in his card.
In total, Gu Ming Ren had transferred money to him twice five thousand one time, and eight thousand the next.
After he paid his tuition fees and bought some daily necessities, due to his inability to curb his extravagance, he saw that the funds would be depleted soon and hadnt expected that thirteen thousand yuan would run out so fast.
He stood in the street, squinting at the sun, dazzled.
Lin Jiang felt a little emotional. Since he was born, he never had to worry about money. His parents doted on him and barely controlled how much money he used, giving him however much he needed. Hence, he was so frustrated with his current situation that he couldnt get over it.
His phone suddenly sounded.
Lin Jiang knew who it was without looking. No one knew his number except for Gu Ming Ren.
Where are you? The voice at the other end was very cold.
Lin Jiang walked towards the school. Eating outside. Im going back now.
He didnt know other boys intentions. Earlier, he had pretended not to know him. Now, he was calling to ask where he was. Were they going to have a covert meeting?
Turn around.
Gu Ming Ren was standing behind him with his phone in hand, the sses perched on the bridge of his nose glinting under the hot sun.
He had given Lin Jiang the cold shoulder for two weeks, thinking that the other boy would look for him and demand that he take responsibility. Who knew that this son of a bitch would not only not contact him, but also bepletely aloof today, despite Gu Ming Ren turning a blind eye to him.
No matter what Gu Ming Ren did, Lin Jiang didnt like it.
So why did Lin Jiang sleep with him?
Lin Jiang exchanged a word with Hao Meng, then turned and walked towards Gu Ming Ren.
Chapter 93 - Side Story 3 - Well Done, Lin Jiang (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 93 - Side Story 3 C Well Done, Lin Jiang (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
The other boy was now his golden owner. He had to be obedient or he would have to beg if his funds were cut off.
What is it? Lin Jiang stood sloppily with his legs spread.
Gu Ming Ren looked at him gloomily. Dont you have anything to say to me? Lin Jiang was most afraid of such ambiguous questions. Just tell me what you want to hear!
If he had something to say, didnt he have a mouth to do it? Did he need a reminder? Lin Jiang cursed silently, not understanding Gu Ming Rens thoughts most of the time and always feeling like the two of them were not on the same frequency.
Two weeks ago, you seduced me. Gu Ming Ren reminded him clearly.
Lin Jiang coughed awkwardly, wondering if there was something wrong with the other boy. It had happened half a month ago and he only thought to follow up on it now? Moreover, he had said that he was selling his body to him. What was taking the money and not making love counted as? Taking him in and raising him like a son?
Even if he, Lin Jiang, were to be a duck, he would not be Gu Ming Rens son!
So he had firmly decided to sell his bottom.
And?
Gu Ming Rens expression was serious and his tone was a little stiff. You have to be responsible for me. God was fucking responsible!
Lin Jiang acted like he had heard some big joke. Gu Shao, you need to wake up a little. Im was the one being fucked. Its a good thing I didnt ask you to be responsible for it and youre fucking asking me to be responsible?!
Moreover, youre a wolf, and shouldnt be pretending to be a pure white rabbit!
Of course, Lin Jiang didnt dare to say this, afraid of being attacked.
Gu Ming Ren looked at him askance. Then why didnt you ask me to be responsible for it?
That day, he had just woken up when his mother, Li Yan, called him away. There was neither time to check on how the other boy felt, nor whether or not he had hurt him. After that, he kept waiting for Lin Jiangs call but it didnte.
He thought himself heartless and that the other boy would surely be furious. But he never expected Lin Jiang to be so quiet instead, making him unable to eat and sleep in peace. Therefore, he had appeared this morning to sound out the situation. In the end, he was still angry with himself.
Responsible for? Lin Jiang shifted his eyes unnaturally. I already said that it was voluntary.
Voluntary? Gu Ming Ren stepped up, his fingers capturing his chin. Voluntarily having a rtionship with me. Why?
His tone was full of hope but Lin Jiangs expression was stoic, and he looked at him stonily.Because of the money. You take me in and I repay you. Thats it.
It was just a money and sex business transaction, why was he still insisting on him stating it clearly?
Lin Jiang stubbornly turned his head away to avoid seeing the hurt in Gu Ming Rens eyes.
What do you treat yourself as? His tone was dangerous and he gripped Lin Jiangs chin forcefully, making the skin around it redden.
Lin Jiang clenched his teeth resolutely until his mouth was forced to open. Then a word sounded from his throat. Duck.
He treated himself like a duck.
Gu Ming Ren felt like he had been struck by lightning and his eyes suddenly turned sinister. Well done, Lin Jiang.
His heart felt like it had been pierced by a sword and everything he had hoped for disappeared. Not a thought from the other boy had been spared for him. All his limbs and bones felt cold. This son of a bitch could break his heart so easily.
Gu Ming Ren released him. The deep emotions in his eyes faded away and turned into frost. He said, Okay, since youre willing to be a duck, then Ill help you.
With that, he grabbed Lin Jiangs wrist and unyieldingly dragged him to the nearby hotel.
Lin Jiang couldnt break free from the other boy and tried to persuade him. Gu Shao, Gu Ming Ren, its daytime now. What are you doing?!
Doing you! The corners of Gu Ming Rens eyes were red and there was a frighteningly dark expression on his face. He tossed his ID card onto the front desk. After registering and receiving a key, he went straight upstairs and pushed Lin Jiang into the room.
A duck has no right to choose between day and night.
This sentence made Lin Jiangs heart sink to the bottom. He was silent and felt that the other boy was right. He didnt have the right to choose between day and night. He was just trash that was selling his bottom.
Fine, then Gu Shao, be gentle. Lin Jiang took off his clothes andy on the bed looking as pale as death.
When Gu Ming Ren saw how Lin Jiang had let himself go, he kicked over the phone near the headboard in a rage, making it fall to the ground with a rattle.
Would he rather humiliate himself this way than to ept his kind intentions?
Okay.
Gu Ming Ren flipped over Lin Jiangs naked body. When his scarlet eyes fixed on his trembling shoulder, the thought of wanting to pierce his heart without pity wavered again. In the end, he admitted defeat and leaned down to kiss Lin Jiangs nape and his back all the way down to his waist.
With things suddenly bing gentle, Lin Jiang bit into the pillow. Being the second time, he had experience and already knew how to please the other boy.
Gu Ming Ren almost did him to death and after several rounds of satisfactory sex, Lin Jiang was so tired that he fell asleep.
He closed his eyes, eyshes wet with tears, while Gu Ming Ren took him into his arms and held him tightly.
Only when sleeping was the other boy sopliant.
Gu Ming Rens expression of tenderness appeared at that moment and he kissed Lin Jiangs eyes gently.
He still had sses this afternoon and after checking the time, he turned to get out of bed.
After tucking in the quilt for Lin Jiang, Gu Ming Ren stepped into the bathroom for a bath. The moment the bathroom door closed, Lin Jiang was alert. He had not been asleep at all. Listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, Lin Jiang looked at the ceiling distractedly. What exactly did the other boy like about him?
It had already been two years and he was still in Gu Ming Rens mind.
Gu Ming Ren came out after his bath and put on his clothes. He walked over to look at the sleeping person. This son of a bitchs appearance was average and it couldnt contain his youthful spirit, which was inexplicably pleasing to his eye.
Staring at Lin Jiangs slightly open mouth, Gu Ming Ren was possessed and lowered his head to kiss him, pushing his tongue into the other boys mouth.
Lin Jiang kept his eyes closed and thought to himself, what the fuck, this pervert could really do anything, not letting him off even if he was sleeping!
Why was he pretending to sleep then?!
Suddenly, he regretted it.
After Gu Ming Ren had his fill of kissing, he left contentedly.
Lin Jiang opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, he had been teased by that pervert until he was hard.
Fortunately, the quilt was thick enough and his hardness wasnt very obvious, otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.
After Lin Jiang took care of himself, he also went into the bathroom for a bath. The other boy had used a condom earlier so clean up was very simple. When he was done, he realised a very important problem.
Fuck! The other boy hadnt given him money!!!
Chapter 94 - Side Story 4 – Paid with His Body and Lost Money (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 94 - Side Story 4 C Paid with His Body and Lost Money (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Lin Jiang felt like he had prostituted himself for nothing and his mood wasnt pretty.
But what made him even angrier was that, after the cleaning auntie entered their room, she discovered the phone beside the bed was broken. Gu Ming Ren had only paid for the room when he left so Lin Jiang had to pay for the phone, which was a total of a hundred and fifty yuan.
Lin Jiang was detained at the hotel, not allowed to leave until he had paid. He gritted his teeth and took out the remaining two hundred yuan from his pocket to pay.
He had fucking paid with his body and lost money!
Lin Jiang cried.
When he came out of the hotel, he touched his stomach. After more than an hour of exercise, his lunch had long since been digested. So he turned the corner into the student street to buy a packet of fried noodles. On the way back to his dormitory, he checked his bank ount on his phone. There was no transfer information.
Im not even as worthy as a duck. He walked with his head down, muttering to himself.
Although he had said that he sold himself to Gu Ming Ren, in reality, Lin Jiang was unable to ask Gu Ming Ren for money. It felt too shameless and he wanted to leave some dignity for himself.
But he only had thirty-two yuan on himself.
Lin Jiang sighed, then caught sight of a job advertisement in the milk tea shop. In the blink of an eye, he quickly jogged over.
He rapped his knuckles against the counter. Are you hiring here?
The owner of the milk tea shop was a young woman and she said lightly, Were only hiring freshmen. Freshman courses were rtively light and they would have more free time.
Im a freshman. Lin Jiang happily took out his meal card and showed it to her. Will I do?
The young woman saw that he was quite handsome and had an especially youthful feel about him. Based on his overall image, she immediately offered a rate, On an hourly basis, fifteen yuan per hour. Do you want to do it?
Lin Jiang frowned. Only fifteen yuan per hour?!
So low.
Only then did he realise how extravagant and wasteful he used to be, not even bothering to pick up ten yuan if he had dropped it.
But he couldnt keep selling his bottom. Who knew when Gu Ming Ren would get tired of him?
Lin Jiang thought for a moment, then agreed. Okay. When can I start? He wascking money and it was best if he could start immediately.
The young woman said, If you dont have any sses this afternoon, you can familiarize yourself with the operations here. Youll be paid. She liked Lin Jiang as he was cheerful, healthy and seemed like an astute person. Next time, just called me Wei Jie.
Lin Jiang didnt return to his dormitory and finished the packet of fried noodles before starting to familiarize himself with the work in the milk tea shop. Actually, it wasnt difficult, just ordering and operations, which he understood after looking through it twice.
Lin Jiang started to receive customers. He wasnt good at studying but he had a strong practical ability, mastering it quickly. It was just that he had to keep smiling and he felt like his little canine teeth were going to fall off soon.
Life wasnt easy. Not only did he need to sell his body, but he also had to sell his smile.
Lin Jiang was self-centred and felt that he was very strong. If it had been someone else, they would be dead, so he did everything happily.
Around the time sses started, the peak flow of people in the milk tea shop slowed. Lin Jiang finally had the time to rest.
Two girls sat chatting on the bar stools in front of the counter. Lin Jiang didnt mean to eavesdrop but their voices were loud and they didnt seem to refrain. One of them said excitedly, Do you know who I saw at Moon Lakest night?!
Moon Lake was University As top date destination for couples.
The other girl asked cooperatively, Who?
Gu Ming Ren from the Business and Economics department!! And he was with a girl! I dont know if it was his girlfriend!
Definitely not! The Gu Ming Ren fangirl had no doubt. How can our Gu male god take a fancy to mortal women? Ill rather that he be gay! For a single guy and girl to go to Moon Lake, even if they arent together yet, it must be a flirtatious period!
Boo hoo hoo, dont say anymore. Shut up!
Lin Jiang was so stupefied when he heard, that a customer had to call him three or four times before he responded, What do you want to drink?
He forced a smile.
Did Gu Ming Ren bring a girl to Moon Lake?
Then what was he?
Was he into both men and women?
Lin Jiangs expression was stiff and felt that he was as low as dust. He thought that he was Gu Ming Rens white moonlight. It turned out that he was just a grain of white rice.
That pervert still pretended to have deep feelings in front of him and even made him feel guilty.
Lin Jiang let out an ah sound and felt that he was really fucking stupid.
After four hours of work, someone else came to take over his shift.
Lin Jiang handed over then knocked off. His phone vibrated wildly in his pocket but he ignored it.
When he left the milk tea shop, Gu Ming Ren walked towards him with a gloomy expression on his face. He pressed his palm against his shoulder and pushed him back firmly against the door of the milk tea shop.
This action attracted the attention of many people. Lin Jiangs heart quickened and he nimbly escaped from the ce where the other boy had confined him.
What are you doing?! His tone was powerful and it was apanied by resentment against Gu Ming Rens hypocrisy.
Why didnt you pick up my call?!
The other boys voice was even more powerful than his. Adding on to that was his fierce expression and Lin Jiang was terrified in an instant, muttering softly, My hands are attached to my body. Cant I decide not to pick it up?
You dare to not pick it up?! Gu Ming Ren clenched his teeth, palms gripping his arm with a little force.
How flustered had he been earlier? When he had rushed down from the school building, he nearly fell. He was normally unruffled. If not for this son of a bitch, would he be in such a difficult situation?!
Who allowed you to work part-time here?! Gu Ming Ren asked coldly, thinking he had not picked up his call because of his part-time work.
I allowed it myself! Lin Jiang was also hot-tempered. How could he endure such oppression? He immediately started bickering with him. Who the fuck do you think you are? Gu Ming Ren, what right do you have to control me?!
Lin Jiangs eyes were red. Just because he helped him out, he could just control him at will?!
Who did he think he was?
God?
Or his saviour?
Gu Ming Ren quickly took off his sses and he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He realised that he had been too agitated. Actually, it wasnt a big deal. It was just that Lin Jiang would normally answer his phone calls. Today, he had called several times without being it being answered and he became flustered, afraid that something had happened to the other boy.
Im sorry. I was too worried about you.
His voice was a little hoarse because of his earlier unreasonable berating.
Lin Jiang wasnt someone who pushed his luck. Since the other boy had already bowed his head and admitted he was wrong, he quickly withdrew his temper. Lin Jiang turned to leave but Gu Ming Ren held onto his wrist. With just a little effort from him, Lin Jiang turned back and collided into his arms.
Gu Ming Ren hugged him and said in a soft voice, Dont do that next time. Do you know how much I...
How much I like you.
Before he could be affectionate for longer than a second, Lin Jiang pushed him away forcefully. Are you sick?! Isnt it disgusting?
Did he hug the girl from Moon Lake like this too?
The thought of these arms holding someone else made him sick.
Lin Jiangs entire body was resistant and an expression of loathing rose up on his face and cut into Gu Ming Rens naked heart like a sharp sword. He said it was disgusting.
He said he was disgusting.
Gu Ming Ren had thought that he was already full of scars and that no matter what, it wouldnt be more painful than it was at the beginning. But he was wrong. Lin Jiang still had a way to trample on his bloody heart, then give a ruthless twist with his foot.
Gu Ming Ren gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
Lin Jiang realised the severity of his words and wanted to exin but struggled to speak.
After a while, Gu Ming Ren began to speak again and asked him calmly, If I want you to move out of your dormitory, would you? Lin Jiang murmured, No. Okay. Gu Ming Ren turned and walked away.
Without any reluctance, he left with his back to Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang looked at the chilly view of the boys back and felt like his own heart was aching.
He muttered softly to himself, was Gu Ming Ren giving up on him?
Even if he was, that would be good, because he didnt like him anyway.
Lin Jiang returned to his dormitory, it was dark inside. Hao Meng had hisptop open and the light from the screen reflected on his face, making him look like a big-headed ghost.
Lin Jiang was startled and quickly turned on the lights.
When the dormitory lit up, Hao Meng closed hisptop in a panic. Because his actions were too excessive, his earphones were pulled out.
Quickly following that, the sound of a mans panting came from theptop.
Lin Jiangughed. It wasmon for boys to watch AV in dormitories, so he didnt think much of it. It was just that, why was it only a mans panting? How about the woman?!
Hao Mengs face was red. He slept on the lower bunk and his 189cm height restricted him from any big movements. But now, because he was flustered, he bumped into the top bunk a few times and finally removed the battery of hisptop.
Lin Jiang had been slow to catch on but realised that it sounded familiar. Wasnt this the same frequency of sounds he made when he was doing it with Gu Ming Ren?!
Are you watching GV? Lin Jiang was incredulous. Do you like men?!
Hao Meng was a Tianjin native, 189cm in height and 70kg in weight. He was big, tall and his appearance was very decent. He looked straighter than steel but turned out to be gay?
Dont worry. Im not interested in you. Hao Meng said quickly.
He was afraid that Lin Jiang would move out because of his sexual orientation. He was timid and would not be able to sleep alone in this room.
Youre hiding very deep. Lin Jiang couldnt look directly at him. Why did he feel like after one gay appeared, everyone around him was gay?!
Im deep in the closet. No one knows. Hao Meng was a rugged man. At this moment, because of his shyness, his face was strangely red and he seemed to have a sort of rough adorkable feel about him.
Lin Jiang felt that he might have been blind.
Hao Meng was halfway through his film and wanted to continue watching it. But since he had been found out by Lin Jiang, it didnt seem very kind of him to enjoy it alone, so he invited him warmly, Do you want to watch it with me?!
Watch my foot! Im straight! Why would I watch such things? Lin Jiang rejected without thinking.
Hao Meng touched his chin. You dont seem straight. You look like a zero. Lin Jiang retorted, Youre the zero! Your whole family is zero! Hao Meng admitted generously, Im a zero. Its hard to find a one.
He was a little distressed. Recently, he had taken a fancy to a one but the other boy disliked his height and he wasnt willing to be with him.
Lin Jiang was shocked. Youre a zero? Youre so big and powerful and youre a fucking zero?! He had really been blinded by this height.
Hao Meng felt helpless. The world misunderstood him too deeply. In fact, he was really a zero and would even whimper.
Chapter 95 - Side Story 5 – This Big One is Not The Same as That Big One (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 95 - Side Story 5 C This Big One is Not The Same as That Big One (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Its not my fault that Im tall.
Hao Meng sounded frustrated. He picked up his phone and opened a social app. The one he had his eye on had the ID name: First-Year New Student.
The other boy had only posted a few photos all were faceless and only showing his well-proportioned and tanned body wearing a racerback vest. In the background was a balcony, showing that the photos were likely taken at home.
The photos were on his mind constantly after he saw them, so he secretly sent a private message to hook up with him. Who knew that after reporting his height and weight, the other boy would cklist him?
Hao Meng was miserable. He just wanted to be a zero. What was wrong?! He was so angry that he downloaded some torrent files, nning to save them to watch slowly. The video had only progressed into the first stage when he was caught by Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang didnt want to continue on this topic of conversation and climbed into his own bed.
Hey t on the bed and looked at the rotating ceiling fan. Everything was great at University A, except that dormitory conditions were poor. There was no air-conditioning and they had to depend on two fans during the summer.
Lin Jiang was very confused. He kept thinking of Gu Ming Ren walking away how cold and resolute the image of his back was, making him feel an indescribable annoyance.
He closed his eyes and tried to force himself to sleep but after tossing and turning, he didnt get what he wanted.
Suddenly sitting up, Lin Jiang leaned against the wall feeling disheartened. What was happening to him?
In the lower bunk, Hao Meng was scared to death. He quickly stuck out his head and said to him, Did I disturb you? Lin Jiang lifted his eyelids. Arent you wearing earphones? He didnt hear anything at all. Disturb my foot.
But Gu Ming Ren, that pervert, had been walking around in his mind.
There was a tinge of embarrassment on Hao Mengs face and he said shyly, I want to jerk off.
Lin Jiang wanted to split his head open with a punch. If you want to jerk it, then jerk it. What are you telling me for?! Did he want his help or something?
Hao Meng was distressed. Our bed isnt very solid. You always move around so I get very flustered, feeling like Ive disturbed you, and I cant get hard...
Thest part of the sentence was the main point!
Lin Jiang wanted to scold him. But seeing his wronged expression, he wanted to poke both his eyes out. So he simply turned and got off the bed.
Alright, alright. Ill go out for a walk. You fucking hurry up.
Lin Jiang put on his shoes. He couldnt sleep anyway and it was good to go out for some fresh air. He could even save himself from smelling Hao Mengs descendants.
Hao Meng was really moved and wanted to express his feelings in whimpers, but a book thrown by Lin Jiang hit him in the head.
Dont fucking let me see that expression again.
Lin Jiang almost felt goosebumps forming and he observed a three-minute moment of silence for Hao Mengs future partner. He didnt have heavy tastes and couldnt stomach this type. When he left the dormitory, the cool wind blew against his face which made him feel slightly better.
In the past when he was upset, all he needed to do was make a phone call and friends from all around would rush over to apany him to drink and sing, no matter how high he got. Now, he had cut off all contact with everyone. When he was upset, he only had himself.
With both hands stuffed into his pockets, Lin Jiang wandered around aimlessly.
He began to think about what he would do in the future. Since he couldnt be supported by Gu Ming Ren for his entire life, he had to find a life of his own. But after being separated from his parents, he had nothing and had to start from scratch without any qualifications.
Lin Jiang wiped his face with a hand and felt that he was really useless.
He went to the convenience store to buy two cans of beer and drank as he walked. Without realising it, he arrived at Moon Lake and stopped.
The ce was secluded and the moonlight was bright on that summer night, reflecting indistinctly onto theke. It was really beautiful.
Lin Jiang gripped the can. It was an eyesore to see so many cuddling couples so he turned to go back.
Hao Meng had already resolved his physiological problem and even cleaned up the dormitory.
The boy loved cleanliness which Lin Jiang was very satisfied with.
Are you in a bad mood today? Hao Meng asked with concern when he came back.
Lin Jiang wasnt calctive. Being his roommate meant that Hao Meng was a friend, so he didnt hide anything. Yeah, Im upset. Hao Meng immediately became gossipy. Is it because of that nightmare?
Lin Jiang drew a nk for a moment before realising what nightmare he was referring to, then said vaguely, I guess you could say that. In any case, the protagonist was Gu Ming Ren.
Hao Meng wanted to find out more but his phone sounded with two or three notifications. After checking, he jumped up and happily ran around the dormitory, like an ostrich in heat.
My number one sent me a private message! Hao Meng said excitedly after running two rounds and suddenly grabbing Lin Jiangs shoulder.
Oh! Lin Jiang pushed him aside with a detached expression and went to sleep.
This time, he really fell asleep and only woke up when it was bright.
His major was unpopr and there were barely any sses during the first semester, so he went to work daily at the milk tea shop.
Before he left, he saw Hao Meng wearing an attention-seeking pair of tight jeans. Well, he had worn it before but after knowing the other boy was gay and a zero, he felt that it was especially attention-seeking.
Lin Jiang frowned and asked, Are you going on a date today?
Hao Meng emanated the joy of a hunky zero. Yes, Im going to meet First-Year New Student! Lin Jiang had a dumbfounded expression on his face. Arent you a first-year new student?
Hao Mengughed obscenely and his gazended on Lin Jiangs crotch. This big one is not the same as that big one. Its a very big one. ! Lin Jiang mmed the door and left.
The milk tea shop opened at nine-thirty in the morning. Lin Jiang went to the shop with two steamed buns and greeted thedy boss. Wei Jie. Seeing that he was so skinny and only eating so little, Zhang Wei pointed to the buns and asked, Will you be full enough? Lin Jiangughed and said, Its enough.
The main reason was that he had no money. Now, he had less than twenty yuan in his pocket and would need to start begging soon.
Zhang Wei didnt say anything and poured him a ss of milk.
Thank you, Wei Jie.
Lin Jiang stared at the milk for a while but didnt drink it.
When it was time to change shift at noon, he made himself scarce.
He wanted to look for a job of handing out leaflets on a daily basis but felt embarrassed if it was too near the school. So he walked for a distance and in the end, saw Hao Meng.
There were two undesirable-looking boys beside Hao Meng manhandling him. Lin Jiang felt that something was wrong and rushed over immediately. When Hao Meng saw him, he shouted urgently, Lin Jiang, help me!
Lin Jiang kicked the boy who was dragging Hao Meng. He was familiar with fighting and the two boys ran away quickly after giving each other meaningful looks.
Lin Jiang walked over to untie Hao Meng, thinking to himself, youre so big and yet cant outdo two weak chickens. What a shame.
The two of them found a KFC and sat down.
Hao Meng startedining to him, They were definitely not First-Year New Student! The moment I saw them, I felt that something was wrong, but there were two of them and I couldnt run away. They even tied me up.
While eating a burger, Lin Jiangmented, I dont think your app is reliable. You dont even know who they are and you dared to meet them! But those two boys were also brave since Hao Mengs height didnt scare them. It seemed like they had realised he only looked impressive and couldnt actually do much.
Hao Meng was depressed and he had a hurt expression on his face. Lin Jiang couldnt bear it and yet didnt know how tofort him. He pushed his c over. Have a drink first to calm yourself.
Hao Meng lowered his head and muttered to himself. They said that First-Year said I was very disgusting.
The two boys were friends of First-Year New Student. When they saw that he wanted to seduce First-Year New Student, they asked him out, wanting to strip off his clothes and humiliate him. It was revealed that First-Year New Student hated him and also said that he was disgusting.
This word reminded Lin Jiang that he had also said that to Gu Ming Ren.
Cant the word disgusting be used? Although it was a little too much, it wasnt that deeply hurtful, right?
Lin Jiang wanted to argue for himself.
Hao Meng nced at him. If theres a physiological disgust, then there is no leeway left.
With that, he sucked in a mouthful of c and pulled himself together, saying, Fortunately, I dont like him that much, or my heart would be broken! Lin Jiang put down his burger guiltily.
He was silent, thinking of whether Gu Ming Rens heart had been broken.
Then he determined that it hadnt been. He even went on a date with a girl to Moon Lake. It was clear that Gu Ming Ren didnt like him that much.
Lin Jiang consoled himself and started munching on the burger again.
After Hao Meng settled the bill, he returned to school and continued being sad. Lin Jiang was at a loss and he boarded the bus to Gu Ming Rens house.
Chapter 96 - Side Story 6 – Worth This Price (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 96 - Side Story 6 C Worth This Price (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
When he finally reacted to what he was doing, the bus had already arrived at its destination.
Lin Jiang got off the bus and thought of the reason he should give to exin his sudden visit. He had actuallye to apologise and acknowledge his mistake or something.
Relying on his memory, Lin Jiang went up, took out the spare key from the flower bed at the door and opened it.
It was quiet inside. Then, he realised that the other boy could be having sses and would not be at home!
Lin Jiang changed his footwear. There was a pair belonging to him and it was still on the shoe rack.
Gu Ming Ren heard the sound and came out in his pyjamas with a ss in his hand. He was stunned when he saw Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang was embarrassed for a moment and tried to find something to say. You dont have sses today?
Gu Ming Ren regained his senses and without any expression on his face, he walked over to get some water. Yes. Actually, he did but he skipped sses because he was in a bad mood.
Lin Jiang felt uneasy, his eyes swivelling in every direction and he exined, Well, I came over to collect some things.
With that, he went to his own room and opened the door. At a nce, he saw that the furnishings were the same as before, just that there were a few more books on finance at the head of the bed and the wardrobe was full of clothes. These were not his clothes but Gu Ming Rens.
You moved to my room?
After Lin Jiang said that, he bit his tongue. It wasnt his room! Then he added, I mean this room. He couldnt think of why the boy moved to the guest room when he was doing just fine in the master bedroom.
Gu Ming Ren didnt answer him and just asked calmly, What do you want to collect?
He didnt wear his sses today and his features looked even fiercer. Even in pyjamas, he had an imposing manner as if he had been born extraordinary.
Lin Jiang lied and said, Game console.
In the beginning, afraid that Lin Jiang would be bored, Gu Ming Ren had bought the game console for him to relieve his boredom. Strictly speaking, it didnt belong to Lin Jiang. Of course, Gu Ming Ren wouldnt say anything if he took it.
He opened the door of the master bedroom and the smell of smoke hit him instantly. Lin Jiang frowned.
He hated smoke.
Gu Ming Ren went to open the window for venttion first, then bent down to open the drawer and take out the game console.
Standing at the door, Lin Jiang looked at the messy room. There were no quilts on the bed and all kinds of documents were scattered on it. Theptop on the desk was on and it was clear that Gu Ming Ren had just been using it.
The master bedroom had been fine and now he was using it as a study room.
The boy handed over the game console and Lin Jiang took it absentmindedly, thinking of how to express his apologises without losing his pride.
Have you eaten?
He heard his own idiotic voice. There was only just over ten yuan in his pocket and he had the nerve to ask such a question? He couldnt even afford Shaxian county snacks. Gu Ming Ren nced at him askance and said coldly, No.
Lin Jiangs sudden arrival made him feel like it was unreal. Since he was thinking of a way to get into a conversation with him, it seemed like the other boy had something to ask of him.
Gu Ming Ren leaned against the door and wait for him to speak.
Lin Jiang swallowed and said dryly, Neither have I.
Gu Ming Ren was stunned for a moment and almost thought that Lin Jiang wanted to eat with him. But after some careful calctions, his lips curled in a sneer and he turned to the room to get his phone, then transferred five thousand yuan to him.
He was just reminding him that he had run out of money.
Lin Jiang heard a notification and after checking his screen, he gritted his teeth.
What was the meaning of that thinking he hade over to ask for money?
Lin Jiang took two steps closer and grabbed his cor, saying angrily, Do you think Im here to ask you for money? Gu Ming Ren looked at his other hand and said tonelessly, Youre here to collect the game console. Lin Jiang wanted to tear this hypocritical face to shreds. That was obviously not what he thought and he even used words to mock him.
Lin Jiang released the game console and raised his hand to swing a fist energetically into the boys face.
Collect the game console my foot!
Gu Ming Rens left cheekbone quickly turned red. He staggered two steps back under the force and the veins in his forehead bulged, showing that he was really angry. He gripped Lin Jiangs wrist forcefully.
You really think that I cant bear to hit you?! His eyes were red and fierce like a wolf, but he still didnt do anything to him.
The three words cant bear to entered Lin Jiangs ear and like a light feather, it dispelled all of his anger.
Suddenly, his heart sped up and he uneasily tried to free himself from the boy restraining him. But Gu Ming Ren held on tightly, his chest rising and falling. He was obviously still angry.
You can retaliate if you want. Lin Jiang was unafraid and met his eyes.
It was like a silent war with sparks shooting everywhere.
Gu Ming Ren broke the silence with a voice that still carried some anger. Get out! He released Lin Jiangs hand and turned to shut the door.
This son of a bitchs ability to make him angry was getting stronger.
Lin Jiang blocked the door. The other boy didnt retaliate. He didnt know what he was so happy about but it was a satisfaction he felt without reason.
Wait, I have something to say.
Gu Ming Ren had not used much strength and Lin Jiang easily pushed into the room.
Hey, do you want me to treat you to dinner? He said triumphantly.
Gu Ming Ren said coldly, With my money?
Lin Jiang felt pain at the jab and retorted loudly, Your money?! This is the money I earned from selling my bottom! He was thick-skinned and felt no shame in saying that.
Gu Ming Ren stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled, making Lin Jiangs hair stand on end.
Five thousand yuan each time. Do you think youre worth this price?
With that, Gu Ming Ren went to the next room to change his clothes. He took off his clothes in front of Lin Jiang, then re-dressed.
Lin Jiang gazed fixedly at him. Anyway, they had done it before. Was there anything he couldnt look at?
Why arent I worth it?!
Lin Jiang couldnt ept it. He was once a rich second generation and was well taken care of by his parents. How could he be the same as those wild ducks from outside?!
Gu Ming Ren didnt speak but thought to himself, only a person like me with more money than sense would feel that its worth it.
He went to the bathroom to wash his face. The injury on his cheekbone hurt aftering into contact with the water. He looked into the mirror and silently scolded Lin Jiang for being so ruthless and hitting him in the face. He didnt know if it would heal within this week. If it didnt, his mother would question him again and again.
Gu Ming Ren ced his sses on the bridge of his nose and said coolly, Lets go. Lin Jiang was confused. Go where? Gu Ming Ren looked at him. Didnt you want to treat me to dinner?
Lin Jiang was silent. He originally wanted to order takeout to eat in the house. It was so expensive to eat out and he only had five thousand yuan. If Gu Ming Ren ughtered him, didnt he have to sell his body again?!
But the other boy had already said it, so Lin Jiang could only keep up appearances. Lets...lets go. They went out.
Gu Ming Ren had a car and Lin Jiang sat in the front passenger seat searching for cheap restaurants nearby. He offered several names in session and all of them were rejected by Gu Ming Ren on the spot, either because of poor sanitation or the noisy environment.
Lin Jiang threw his phone aside. Then where do you want to eat?!
Gu Ming Ren drove to the business district and brought Lin Jiang to the Tao Yuan Restaurant.
When Lin Jiang saw these words, his legs softened. To eat here once, he had to be fucked by the other boy three times!
Youre fucking exploiting me! Lin Jiang was furious.
Gu Ming Rens expression didnt change. He held the cor of Lin Jiangs shirt and brought him inside. I dont need you to treat me. Lin Jiangs legs strengthened again and he was ted. This was his favourite restaurant!
Gu Ming Ren ordered and all of it happened to be his favourite food!
Lin Jiang was in a good mood, his fingers rising and falling on the table making a pattering sound. Gu Ming Ren stared at him, his face soft and his lips forming an indulgent smile.
The service staff served the dishes quickly and Lin Jiang kept introducing the characteristics of each dish.
In the past, when he came with his parents, his dad would always give him a simr analysis the tender and smooth texture, the crisp and rich or mellow aroma, and so on. Gu Ming Ren listened respectfully and looking at the boys mouth opening and closing, he was a little mesmerized.
Whats the matter with you?
Lin Jiang had already stopped speaking a long time ago. Seeing the boy still staring at him, he couldnt help reminding him.
Gu Ming Ren snapped out of it and picked up several pieces of lobster meat for him. Lin Jiang didnt really mind. As long as the boy gave it to him, he ate it.
He had not eaten here for a long time and felt that it tasted even better than before. Lin Jiangs heart filled with joy. After eating, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Gu Ming Ren swiped his card and left the restaurant. He sent Lin Jiang back to school and stopped his car at the school gate.
Lin Jiang unfastened his seat belt and before he got out of the car, he said awkwardly, I didnt mean that yesterday, not disgusting.
He was a little incoherent and didnt know how to exin it.
Anyway, I dont really hate it. With that, Lin Jiang pushed open the car door and got out hurriedly.
Gu Ming Ren was faster than him, making his way around the front of the car to intercept him. With hope in his eyes, he stared at the person in front of him. What do you mean? Say it clearly. Lin Jiang avoided his eyes and his heart felt like there was a drum beating inside. The meaning is what I said earlier. He wanted to walk away but Gu Ming Ren held his arm, his eyes dark, and Lin Jiang couldnt read him.
How much for a hug? Gu Ming Ren asked.
Huh? Lin Jiang followed the other boys thoughts and calcted based on five thousand yuan each time. For a hug, A thousand?
Gu Ming Renughed and continued asking, How about a kiss? A kiss...
Lin Jiang reacted and wanted to run but was held back and pressed onto the bo of the car.
Lin Jiangs heart was beating fast and he looked into his eyes.
Ill pay you three thousand and transfer it to youter.
With that, Gu Ming Ren pressed against him, wrapped his arms around him in a hug, then lowered his head to pry open Lin Jiangs mouth. Lin Jiang struggled, but his head was held firmly in ce by a hand and Gu Ming Ren deepened the kiss. Lin Jiangs eyes were open the entire time and he felt that he was finished.

Chapter 97 - Side Story 7 C Refined and Masculine Uke (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
He returned, muddleheaded, to the dormitory. On the way, his phone sounded twice with bank transfer notifications.
Lin Jiang didnt want to look and threw his phone onto the table. His head was filled with the assertive kiss from Gu Ming Ren earlier. It was different from the two times in high school. At that time, he was repelled by it, feeling ufortable and disgusted to the point that he wanted to wash out his mouth and brush his teeth.
But this time after his mouth was pried open and the other boys tongue slipped in, he wasnt opposed to it like he imagined he would be. He had made a show of resistance before yielding and allowing him to have his way and even had the impulse to kiss him back.
Lin Jiang walked into the bathroom and patted cold water onto his face in an attempt to clear his head a little.
He couldnt like Gu Ming Ren. They would never work out.
Lin Jiang understood this very clearly.
When Hao Meng returned, he had a dozen cans of beer with him. After being lied to by First-Year New Student, he was really hurt and had not recovered after an afternoon. Beneath his tall and powerful appearance, his frail and immature mind had received a strong blow, so he decided to drink a little to numb himself.
Lin Jiang, are youing?
Drinking alone wasnt as good as drinking with someone, so Hao Meng sent his only roommate an invitation.
Lin Jiang had just been worrying about how to rid himself of this damn feeling. In the end, there were a dozen cans of beer here.
He didnt bother with politeness and pulled up a stool to sit beside Hao Meng. With one hand, he opened the can skillfully and poured the refreshing beer into his throat. Very quickly, it was empty.
Hao Meng was stunned. Bro, are you the heart-broken one or am I? Why was he drinking more vigorously than him?!
Lin Jiang was about to open the second can when Hao Meng held his wrist down. Wait a minute, I havent brought out the snacks yet! He was a refined and masculine uke who paid a lot of attention to rituals!
Hao Meng took out a box of stewed pig ears, two bags of fried peanuts and his hometowns fried twisted dough. Then, he turned on hisptop and yed some high energyedic dialogue. After Hao Meng had done all this, he turned to Lin Jiang and said, Lets start!
Lin Jiang: ...
Alright... the fastidiousness of Tianjin people.
He went along with Hao Meng and picked up two peanuts with his chopsticks to throw them into his mouth. Then he drank beer while watching the dialogue.
As he watched, he saw the graceful figure of the handsome leadedian twisted at the waist, moaning and groaning. Beside him, the supportingedian couldnt continue watching and stopped him, saying, Did someone do something to your behind?
Lin Jiang almost spat out a mouthful of cold beer. Even this fucking world ofedic dialogue had started to tell rotten jokes?
Pleased with himself, Hao Mengughed and said to him, How is it? Interesting? Lin Jiang let out a hur hur sound in response.
Among the dozen cans of beer, Lin Jiang drank eight cans while Hao Meng drank four. In the end, the heart-broken one didnt sleep while the one who wasnt heart-broken had a good sleep.
Lin Jiang even had a dream.
In the dream, he was making a fuss and insisted on propping himself on Gu Ming Rens neck, with his legs framing his face. Instead of being angry, Gu Ming Ren looked at him with smiling eyes. After that, he sweet-talked him into a good mood and made himugh.
At the end of the wonderful dream, Lin Jiang woke up drenched in sweat.
He sat up abruptly, his heart still beating as fast as it was in the dream, thumping rhythmically.
Hao Meng looked at him with dark circles under his eyes. Did you have another nightmare?
Lin Jiang swallowed and wanted to say that it was a wonderful dream but it was even more frightening than a nightmare!
He rushed to take a shower and fled to the milk tea shop to work.
Although he was financiallyfortable now, it was difficult to be sure what would happen in the future. Lin Jiang felt that it was time to n his life.
The same two girls as thest time were there and they ordered the same two cups of milk tea. Even their topic of conversation was a continuation of theirst.
Little sis, Gu Ming Ren is gay, do you know?
Whine... I know,st evening at University As school gate, he announced to the whole world that he was gay.
Its a pity you dont have a little chicken or youll have a chance.
Boo hoo hoo... if I go to Thand now, would I still be in time?
Lin Jiangs face was filled with ck lines. Looking at the two pretty girls, he never expected that their conversation to go beyond the normal scope of things.
Then who was the girl I saw that time at Moon Lake?
Cannon fodder!
No, it could be that ss grass Gu Ming Ren is into both men and women. Two-timing.
You can insult me but you cannot insult my male god!
The two girls started arguing and in the end, they knocked over their milk teas. Lin Jiang had no choice but to go over and clean it up.
He wore the milk tea shops ck cap which obscured part of his face and hid his perplexed eyes. He had almost forgotten about this. Who was the girl at Moon Lake?
Lin Jiang was restless and brought that feeling with him to his afternoon ss. He didnt even know that Gu Ming Ren had sat next to him.
It was another lesson in arge ssroom which was filled with people. When Lin Jiang realised and wanted to change his seat, Gu Ming Ren held onto his wrist. Where are you going?
Lin Jiang didnt dare to look at him and stammered, Im going to the toilet.
Gu Ming Ren released him and let him go. His eyes were fixed on the hastily fleeing back and his heart sank slowly.
As expected, he didnte back.
Since Lin Jiang skipped the ss, he had time to spare but didnt know where to go.
He sat behind a secluded teaching block, pondering what was going on and what he was so afraid of.
For two weeks, he hid from Gu Ming Ren. Neither did the other boy didnt show up in front of him. His life suddenly calmed down but only Lin Jiang himself knew whose face he was thinking of and whose hurt expression he was worrying over in his dreams every night.
During the seven-day National Day holidays, Hao Meng returned to his hometown, leaving Lin Jiang alone in the dormitory.
Lin Jiang had nowhere to go. His eyes were fixed on his phone while he browsed, but Gu Ming Rens call never came.
When he was busy, he could restrain himself from thinking about him. But now that he was free, he could only feel that the other boy had already taken root in his heart.
Lin Jiang got out of bed and took a taxi.
In front of the apartment door, he ran into Gu Ming Ren who was about to leave and they startled each other.
Gu Ming Ren had promised Li Yan he would go back, so he locked the door and didnt invite Lin Jiang in.
Lin Jiang looked at him, his gaze shifting slightly and said in a low voice, I want to do it. Gu Ming Rens hand, which held his keys, shook and he sneered, Ran out of money?
After avoiding him for over half a month then suddenly appearing, saying he wanted to do it, Gu Ming Ren couldnt think of any other reason to exin the boys behaviour.
Like a basin of cold water had just been poured over his head, Lin Jiang was drenched and his heart trembled. With a hoarse voice, he said, Yeah, spent it all. Gu Ming Ren felt that he was really depraved. Of all the people to like, he had to like such an immature and ungrateful person.
He gritted his teeth and controlled his expression while he kept his keys in his pocket, then said in a detached manner, Im not free today. Another time.
Lin Jiang watched with an empty heart as he turned to leave.
Covering his face with his hands, he leaned against the closed door of the apartment, squatting down slowly.
He felt like he had done something stupid.
With a wooden expression, Gu Ming Ren entered the elevator but couldnt press the button. His chest seemed to be filling with water, making him feel so congested that it hurt.
Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, he scolded himself for being shameless while he ran out earnestly.
Seeing the boy squatting at his door, Gu Ming Rens heart softened into a pool of mud...
He reached out a hand to pull Lin Jiang up, then opened the door and pushed him inside. Lin Jiang staggered for a moment, surprised that the other boy hade back.
What are you doing? Take it off. Gu Ming Ren stared at him with obvious anger in his eyes. He was angry at himself for not being resolute. The other boy crooked a finger and he surrendered without a backbone.
Lin Jiang undid his pants and looked unfeelingly at his naked self. He was carried into the room by the other boy with reddened eyes.
When he got worked up, Lin Jiang panted and asked him, Have you done it with anyone else? Gu Ming Ren left a lingering kiss on his neck, then replied in a low voice, No.
Lin Jiang took the initiative to kiss him on the mouth. After half a month of repressed feelings, Gu Ming Ren was so excited that he could not extricate himself, wishing that he could consume him whole.
Do you...do you like women?
He was especially talkative today and wasnt normally like this.
Gu Ming Ren took note of this but didnt answer the question and just kept doing him desperately, tormenting Lin Jiang within an inch of his life.
After that, Lin Jiangy on the bed, his eyes despondent and his heart still empty.
Gu Ming Ren looked at the time. He had to go.
Before he left, he transferred money to Lin Jiang.
Looking at the transfer on his phone, Lin Jiang thought back to his original n to only regard the rtionship between the two of them as a transaction. Now, the other boy had clearly handled the matter like a transaction but instead, he felt cold.
He was probably reaping what he sowed.
Lin Jiang got up and asked Gu Ming Ren, Can I stay here for these few days? Theres nobody in the dormitory.
Gu Ming Ren was stunned for a moment. Up to you.
He couldnt figure out what Lin Jiang was up to, but he had to go back today.
After Gu Ming Ren left, Lin Jiang remained in the bed. The bed was dirty, caused by their descendants.
He had no choice but to change the sheets, then continue sleeping.
Gu Ming Ren was distracted at home. Li Yan peeled an apple for him and tried to tease him, Has baby gotten a girlfriend? The person is back but his heart does not seem to have returned.
Gu Ming Ren suddenly came back to the present. His eyes dulled and he said, No, the person doesnt like me.
Li Yan was a protector. There was actually someone who didnt like her son?! She was so angry that she ate the apple herself and said indignantly, Which familys girl has her sights set so high that she doesnt even like you?
Looking at the children of the same age group in City A, she felt that her familys baby was the best. Although everyone said that the second son of the He family outshone her baby, in Li Yans eyes, purely based on obedience, He Cheng Ming couldntpare to Gu Ming Ren.
Im kidding.
Gu Ming Ren cated his mother and didnt continue the topic.
The Gu family was the typical blissful family. Father Gu was responsible for making money to support his family, while Mother Gus responsibility was to be as beautiful as a flower. The two of them had been married for twenty years, loved each other throughout and loved Gu Ming Ren even more.
They taught Gu Ming Ren well not to be excessive or hot-tempered and to always put responsibility first since childhood.
Gu Ming Ren also constantly kept his status in mind. When his parents showed their trust in him, he returned their filial love.
The Gu family was harmonious, unlike the He family which was riddled with problems. Adding He Cheng Mingsing out to it didnt affect a whole lot.
Gu Ming Ren had always been under great pressure. Outside, he couldnt get the love of Lin Jiang while at home, he was swept away by warmth everywhere. He had decided to give Lin Jiang up countless times but after that, he would feel an endless abyss, more painful than he could imagine.
His phone vibrated and he received a message: Can youe back for a while, I blew up the kitchen.
The sender: Lin Jiang
Chapter 98 - Side Story 8 – He Had Been Swapped With a Dog (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 98 - Side Story 8 C He Had Been Swapped With a Dog (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Li Yan saw her son frowning at his phone with an indecisive expression on his face and she became curious.
Her baby had always been resolute when he did anything. For someone to make him all twisted up, Li Yan sensed a trace of subtle sweetness.
Is the girl, who doesnt like you, looking for you? If it is, then go.
Her son had grown up and he should start dating.
Gu Ming Ren stood up, his heart beating violently. This was the first time Lin Jiang had taken the initiative to send him a message. In the past, no matter what happened, he would never ask him for help.
Im leaving but Ille back tomorrow to see you and dad. Li Yan stopped eating the apple and caught the main point. Tomorrow?
She looked at Gu Ming Ren meaningfully and advised, Take measures and dont identally give me a grandson.
Although she liked the He familys little golden grandson very much thest time she visited them, her baby was still young after all. It wasnt nice for him to be a father before he graduated.
Gu Ming Ren stayed silent, turned and left.
He drove quickly back to themunity. The apartment door wasnt closed and there was a burning smelling from inside.
Gu Ming Ren walked in with a frown and saw Lin Jiang cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. Lin Jiang was wearing his t-shirt and even the jeans were his. Whats going on?
As he spoke, he rolled up the cuffs of his shirt.
Lin Jiang heard his voice and turned his head. Seeing him, he felt at ease and said hurriedly, I was just cooking some porridge and I dont know why it exploded. Gu Ming Ren nced at him askance. Seeing the induction stove still plugged in, he pulled it out.
Go outside first.
His eyes swept over the counter. It was covered with ck porridge and the explosion had sttered it everywhere.
First, he turned on the cooker hood to get rid of the smell.
Lin Jiang squatted guiltily in the living room and watched the other boy cleaning up conscientiously. Right then, he realised that the line of Gu Ming Rens shoulder was very beautiful and straight, and with the defined texture of his arm, he looked very buff. Actually, he was buff. After all, when he carried him, it hardly required any effort.
When Gu Ming Ren came out after he finished cleaning up, he saw Lin Jiang squatting at the side, looking at him with bright eyes.
Looking exactly like a domesticated dog.
He couldnt helpughing and went to the bathroom, wringing out a wet towel and tossing it onto Lin Jiangs face. Why are you squatting there? Lin Jiang used the towel to wipe his face. I have porridge all over my body and I was afraid to dirty your sofa. With that, he stood up unsteadily and wavered for a moment. Gu Ming Ren quickly caught him.
The two of them stood very close. Lin Jiang looked into the boys eyes and could clearly smell the perfume on his body.
Lin Jiang was momentarily distracted. It was the smell of a womans perfume.
Did you go home earlier? He couldnt help asking.
Gu Ming Ren hummed and released him after ensuring that he was steady on his feet. Then he said, Go and take a bath. The clothes were sticky and it was probably quite ufortable.
Lin Jiang saw him walk into the kitchen and followed. You have the smell of perfume on your body, a womans. He tried his best to make his voice sound normal and not sour.
Gu Ming Ren scooped some rice and replied casually, My mothers. Lin Jiang suddenly saw the light and he rxed, showing two small tiger teeth when heughed.
In that case, Ill go take a bath first. He went to the bathroom eagerly but after a short while, he came back to ask, I didnt bring any clothes. Can I wear yours? Gu Ming Ren nced at him. Arent you already wearing them?
Lin Jiang had been exposed but didnt feel ashamed and slipped away happily.
By the time he came out after his bath, Gu Ming Ren had already finished cooking the porridge.
Lin Jiang sat with one foot propped on the chair. He blew at his hot porridge and slurped a mouthful but it was so hot that he was panting.
Gu Ming Ren poured him a ss of cold water.
Lin Jiang drank quietly and he felt a little better.
He hadnt eaten for a day, even had sex with the other boy and was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He quickly finished off three bowls in a row before he touched his belly contentedly.
Why havent you left?
Lin Jiang had a rigid way of thinking and only felt that since Gu Ming Ren had to go home, he could leave now that the matter was resolved.
Gu Ming Rens face darkened immediately, feeling that he had been called back just to ask him to be a housekeeper and clean up.
Now that he wasnt needed, was Lin Jiang starting to chase him away?
Was there such a good thing in this world?
Its you who should go.
He stood up without a trace of emotion on his face and coldly reminded Lin Jiang who the owner was.
I asked you previously if I could stay here for a few days. You said I could. Lin Jiang said innocently.
Gu Ming Ren removed the bowl in front of him and warned, Then shut up.
Why should Lin Jiang be controlling whether he stay or leave?
Lin Jiang cooperated and pressed his lips together.
He had been depressed for a long time. Since today was the happiest day during this period, he was generous enough not to make a fuss.
The sound of running water came from the kitchen. Lin Jiang sighed. Although Gu Ming Ren was a young master, he was so much more capable than him, able to cook, wash dishes and do many other things. He suddenly felt that it would be quite good if he were to move back here to stay his food, shelter and even physiological needs would be taken care of.
After he stopped feeling repelled, Lin Jiang realised that Gu Ming Ren was good at provoking him, making him hard wherever he touched him, except for his soft waist.
At night, Gu Ming Ren was busy in his master bedroom, which was now his study room. Lin Jiang was slumped on the bed in the other bedroom, ying games noisily. Time flew by.
When Gu Ming Ren finished his work, he came out. Lin Jiang was already asleep sprawled out on his back in an unsightly manner.
Gu Ming Ren wrapped him in a quilt and sat on the side of the bed for a while. He felt that today was extremely abnormal.
The son of a bitch was taking too much initiative, making him feel extremely uneasy.
He took off his clothes andy beside Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang burrowed into his arms and Gu Ming Ren reached out to encircle him in his arms, feeling the other boys steady breathing against his neck, warm and ticklish.
The next day, it was bright.
Gu Ming Ren woke up with the son of a bitch still in his arms sleeping soundly.
He smiled slightly and wanted to lower his head to kiss the boy. Unexpectedly, Lin Jiang suddenly opened his eyes and gave him a terrible scare.
What are you doing? Did you want tounch a sneak attack on me?
His morning self was still dazed and his cheeks looked like a delicious bun. Gu Ming Ren hardened shamefully and turned to press the boy down under him.
Lin Jiang wokepletely at this and looked at him with wide eyes.
Want to do it?
In this aspect, Gu Ming Ren didnt dare to force Lin Jiang. The son of a bitch had a tough temper. If he used force, he was afraid that the other boy would make him die without any descendants.
The low and slightly hoarse voice reached Lin Jiangs ears and made his body weak.
Ill give you money. In order to prevent him from refusing, Gu Ming Ren added, unknowingly seeking death.
Lin Jiang instantly lost interest and pushed him away with a hand. No! Im not doing it even for money! Damn you, pervert! Youre really treating me like a duck!
Lin Jiang was so angry that he had his fists raised. If the other boy dared to force himself on him, then he would dare to make him thest of his family line!
Gu Ming Ren had reached the point of no return and for the sake of pleasure, he was shameless and said softly, I want to do it...
The enticing voice, in addition to the intolerable expression on his face, really made Lin Jiang hesitate.
However, the reply never came and Gu Ming Ren said, Forget it.
He sneered, withdrew his fawning expression and sat in a kneeling position.
Lin Jian saw his face be hostile faster than he flipped the pages of a book, but didnt bother to indulge him. That was just fine with him as it saved his bottom from being split open.
Gu Ming Ren went into the bathroom and mmed the door loudly.
When Lin Jiang saw the back of his unsatisfied and sorry figure, heughed like a dog and rolled around on the bed.
After he finished rolling, he deliberately went to knock on the bathroom door. Gu Shao, take it easy. If you rub it too much, it isnt good for the kidney.
In the end, the bathroom door was opened and Gu Ming Ren walked out with a dark expression. He lifted Lin Jiang onto his shoulder, then threw him onto the bed, taking off his pants in the process.
Motherfucker. Lin Jiang resisted fiercely but was pressed down firmly by the other boy and he couldnt move at all.
Watch closely. Now its me fucking you.
When Gu Ming Ren finished speaking, Lin Jiang groaned and shouted, Gentler, motherfucker, gentler!! It was a fine day today, suitable for exercising at home.
After the exercise, Lin Jiang became a dead dog. He slumped on the bed panting and scolded, Stupid pervert, pile driver, not human...
Gu Ming Renughed when he heard and leaned close to his ear. Ill take it as apliment. Lin Jiangs teeth itched to retaliate and he turned to bite him hard.
The bitended on Gu Ming Rens shoulder. Gu Ming Ren hissed, Are you born in the year of a dog?!
Lin Jiang turned his head away, looking like an angry little boyfriend.
Gu Ming Rens heart swelled and leaned over, saying, Angry? Unsatisfied? If youre unsatisfied, I can continue doing you. Screw you!
Lin Jiang kept spewing vulgar words which made Gu Ming Ren extremely unhappy. He pinched his mouth then covered it with his. Lin Jiang didnt resist and even lifted his chin slightly, making it convenient for Gu Ming Ren to take advantage.
He let out an oh sound and secretly opened his eyes. Seeing the other boys absorbed expression, he felt an inexplicable sense of achievement.
He liked how Gu Ming Ren looked when captivated by him.
It made him feel a sense of being.
What are you so happy about? The other boy had left his mouth and was looking down at him from above.
Lin Jiang shifted his gaze. Nothing.
Gu Ming Ren forced him to meet his eyes. Something wasnt right. During this past twenty-four hours, it was like he had been swapped with a dog.
Your kissing technique is good. Im very satisfied, okay? Lin Jiang rolled his eyes and felt like this person was pretending disinterest after gaining a favour.
Did you want to ask something of me?
The mood had suddenly turned serious and Lin Jiang was indignant. What could I want?!
He wanted to get up but was pushed down pitilessly by Gu Ming Ren. Then why are you being so obedient? Arent you unwilling?
Lin Jiang gave him a kick. Ive figured it out, alright?!
He dragged his aching waist to wash up while Gu Ming Ren sat on the bed and pondered the words figured it out. His eyes were fixed on the bathroom door. As soon as Lin Jiang came out, he pressed against him and asked, What do you mean by figured it out?
Did it mean what he thought it meant?
You want to be with me? There was a slight tremor in his voice.
Lin Jiang was enclosed by him against a wall and feeling his heart thumping like it was possessed, he said impatiently, If not, would I give it to you so many times?! Get lost. Gu Ming Ren felt like he had been struck by lightning. After so many years of not getting what he wanted, once he had it, it was unexpectedly not happiness but gratitude that he felt.
Sure enough, after a long time of grovelling, it was difficult to get up...
He kissed Lin Jiangs mouth deeply and hugged him fiercely. Lin Jiang was finally his man.
Son of a bitch.
Chapter 99 - Side Story 9 – Dry Wood in a Blazing Fire (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 99 - Side Story 9 C Dry Wood in a zing Fire (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Its too stifling. Quickly release me!
Lin Jiang was very embarrassed. Being hugged so intimately made him feel a little shy.
Moreover, he was now pping himself in the mouth, previously having said that he was straighter than a steel bar. In the end, he was as bent as a Tianjin fried dough twist.
Unromantic thing.
Gu Ming Ren swallowed the word dog and his thin lips couldnt hide a smile. He lifted a hand to give Lin Jiangs soft, ck hair a rub, his eyes as gentle as pools of deep water.
Lin Jiang was overjoyed but his mouth expressed dislike. What romance, quickly order some food to be delivered. Im starving.
Just as he finished speaking, his stomach made a sound, letting out a growl.
This tone of voice really wasnt good. Gu Ming Ren stared at his mouth, wishing he could kiss him to death and save himself the anger.
What are you looking at?! If you keep looking, Ill drain you!
Lin Jiang was looking adorably fierce, making Gu Ming Renugh. His fingertips gripped Lin Jiangs bottom and he said vulgarly, So its this part thats hungry, huh?
You pervert!
Lin Jiang jumped three metres away from him and there was a rare blush on his face, making him look both shy and indignant.
Gu Ming Ren had never seen him looking like that. His heart felt sweeter than if it had been filled with honey and he gave Lin Jiang a meaningful look.
What are you doing? Im really hungry. Dont mess with me!
He approached reluctantly. The other boy captured him around the waist and gave him a peck on the face. Okay, Ill go outside and make something for you to eat. Lin Jiang watch Gu Ming Ren leave, then with a smile, he threw himself onto the bed and rolled around, unable to restrain himself.
The stupid pervert was quite good at flirting.
He thought secretly.
Gu Ming Ren walked out of the room. The quiet living room seemed like it had been in a different world from where he had just been.
As he came down from his happiness, he gradually became uneasy, feeling that the sweetness hade on too suddenly and he was afraid that it had just been an illusion.
Gu Ming Ren turned back to look at the bedrooms open door. From this angle, he could only see half of Lin Jiangs foot. He stared at it for a while, his gaze suddenly bing distant. Please, you cant lie to me.
Half an hourter, school grass Gus porridge of love was fresh out of the pot.
When Lin Jiang smelled the fragrance, he came running out but forgot to put on his slippers. He was caught by Gu Ming Ren who gave two firm smacks to his bottom. No slippers again!
Lin Jiang found him annoying. It doesnt matter at home! When he had stayed here during the summer vacation, the other boy had also kept saying that.
He immediately stepped onto a chair and squatted on it while he waited to eat.
The word home blurted out by him struck Gu Ming Ren in the heart and he took a long look at Lin Jiang. He went to the room to bring out his slippers, then squatted in front of Lin Jiang and put them on him while holding onto his ankles.
Youre making a fuss over nothing.
As usual, his mouth was saying something that his heart did not feel, but this time, he sat up straight.
He smacked his lips and finished the entire bowl of porridge.
Right then, Gu Ming Ren said, I need to go hometer but Ill be back tomorrow. Call me if you need anything. Lin Jiang had eaten his fill and waved at him easily. Okay, go. This ungrateful thing wasnt even bothering to urge him to stay.
Gu Ming Ren felt resentful and was very unhappy on the drive home.
At home, Gu Wen Tian was working in the study room while Li Yan had gone for a facial with a friend. Last night, Gu Wen Tian had heard from his wife that his son had a wife and was neglecting his mother. He had gone to apany his wife, so wasnt at home.
Seeing hime back, Gu Wen Tian put down the documents and called Gu Ming Ren in. I heard from your mother that youre dating?
Gu Ming Ren stood ramrod straight and hesitated for a while before nodding.
Gu Wen Tian was tearful. Previously, there had been no signs of any activity and he had been scared thinking that Gu Ming Ren was bent like the second son of the He family from next door. Now, he had finally been enlightened and knew how to date.
Thats good.
He had been dealing with business matters all morning; his neck and back were getting stiff so he needed some exercise.
Apany dad for a swim.
Since Gu Wen Tian opened his mouth, Gu Ming Ren wouldnt refuse and responded, Okay. The Gu family home had a private swimming pool, so the father and son pair changed into their swimming trunks.
Without meaning to, Gu Wen Tians gaze swept over the teeth marks on his sons shoulder. The girl was quite wild. How much effort would it take to leave such a deep impression?
Gu Ming Ren felt his fathers eyes on him and he lowered his head for a look. After a pause, he said, Bitten by a dog. Gu Wen Tian coughed twice and shifted his gaze away. You young people now have very special nicknames.
It wasnt like during his and Li Yans time when all they used were dear. Li Yan used to call him baby asionally, but after giving birth to one, the owner of that nickname changed.
Gu Ming Ren thought of when Lin Jiang had bitten him that fierce expression on his face and he couldnt help but smile.
You brat, dont be so smug,
Gu Wen Tian was now sure that his son was really in love. He was just like him when he was young. Even when Li Yan passed gas, he could savour the moment for half a day.
Gu Ming Ren jumped into the water first. He had a strong posture and swam out like a fish. Gu Wen Tian followed him into the water then kept up closely with him.
Gu Wen Tian was nearly fifty but he had always maintained his figure through his love of swimming, so his speed was not inferior to Gu Ming Ren at all. He was only defeated as he could not endure the subsequent physical strength required.
He swam threeps then got out to rest.
Gu Ming Ren floated in the water, then asked tentatively, Dad, is the He familys grandson cute?
Jiang Qi had given birth to a boy and he was being raised like royalty. Gu Wen Tian and He Yue Jin had been friends for many years, so he often went to see the He familys golden grandson.
At one look, you can see that the child is a clever one. Gu Wen Tian could like him all he wanted but that was someone elses grandson. What was the point of liking him so much?
Why dont you and mom have another one? You have such a good rtionship. Gu Ming Ren said it half-jokingly, his eyes fixed on Gu Wen Tian for his response.
You brat, you dare to make fun of your dad!
Gu Wen Tian threw his swimming goggles over, causing it to fall in the pool, sshing water onto Gu Ming Rens face and hiding the lost look in his eyes.
So the topic reached its inevitable end just like that.
Gu Ming Ren slept at home that night and left the next day to meet his little boyfriend who had just confirmed their rtionship.
Lin Jiang was someone who knew how to enjoy life. At that moment, he was basking in the sun on the balcony with a pair of sunsses on, earphones stuffed in his ears and fingers drumming on the armrest of the chair.
He was listening so intently that he didnt notice that Gu Ming Ren was back.
That was until he felt a touch on his mouth and he abruptly opened his eyes. Looking through his sunsses to see the familiar face, he felt relieved.
What are you doing? Lin Jiang pushed him.
Gu Ming Ren bent down and picked him up. I just want to fuck you.
There were seven days of National Day holidays and the two of them did it for five days like dry wood in a zing fire. They did it to the point that Lin Jiang was doubting life.
He couldnt help wondering if his bottom could endure a cold wooden bench tomorrow.
Gu Ming Ren hugged him and said with a smile, If you cant, then sit on my leg. Lin Jiang said rudely, Get lost!
The next day, Hao Meng rushed over to him and asked, Why didnt youe backst night?! I was really scared all alone.
It was obvious that he was really afraid, so afraid that he had even wore his clothes inside out.
Lin Jiang was with Gu Ming Ren and at that moment, the other boy was standing beside him. He asked in a reasonable tone, Who is this?
Lin Jiang introduced by saying, My roommate, Hao Meng.
When Hao Meng saw Gu Ming Ren, his eyes lit up as if he seemed to smell the scent of a number one. He smiled immediately. Lin Jiang, who is this? Lin Jiang paused for a moment. My friend, majoring in finance. Gu Ming Ren looked at him, then added coldly, Boyfriend.
Hao Meng sucked in a breath. He had returned to his hometown for seven days and Lin Jiang had found himself a partner, and a handsome number one at that!
Hao Meng felt that he needed to learn from him.
Then he realised something. Youre not preparing to move out, are you? Dont, Lin Jiang. Dont leave me alone. What kind of damn miserable, dramatic uke was this?!
Lin Jiang quickly set his mind at ease. Shut up, Im not moving out. Gu Ming Rens face sank when he heard and his hands clenched in his pockets.
Thats great! Hearing this, Hao Meng ran back to his seat relieved.
Lin Jiang realised that Gu Ming Ren had a displeased look on his face as if he was afraid that nobody would know he was angry.
Youre not jealous, are you? Lin Jiangughed slyly and jabbed him in the chest with his elbow.
Gu Ming Ren didnt say anything and pursed his lips in silence.
If I say that hes a zero, would you believe it? Lin Jiang exined solemnly.
Gu Ming Ren scoffed. He didnt think that Hao Meng would be a threat to him, so he didnt take it seriously.
I want you to move in with me.
He looked into Lin Jiangs eyes, not wanting to let him off from leaving even the slightest mark.
Forget it. You might want to die from exhaustion but I want to live longer!
It was the frequency of their rutting. If he moved over, it would be too horrible to contemte what would happen to his bottom.
Gu Ming Ren looked at him askance. Is that really the reason?
Lin Jiang frowned. Why else? Is there any other reason?
At this, school grass Gus expression rxed and he said earnestly, Then you can rx. As long as you dont seduce me, I can restrain myself. Lin Jiang was instantly angry. Bullshit! When did I seduce you?! Which time did you not make a move first?! Gu Ming Ren refused to admit it. You were hinting to me to make a move.
He always looked adorable and fierce at the same time while gesticting wildly. Who could resist it?
Not fucking him would be a let down to his many years of tolerance.
Damn you, Gu Ming Ren, you...
Lin Jiang was about to blow up when suddenly, a tearful girl turned around in front of them. She looked like her heart had been broken by some jerk. Sobbing noisily, she sniffed and said, Please dont say anymore.
What had she done wrong to deserve sitting in front of the male god that she liked and his partner. She even had to listen to their shameless public disy of affection.
Thest time I confessed to you at Moon Lake, you clearly said you were single! The girl looked at Gu Ming Ren, her expression aggrieved, thinking she still had a chance.
Gu Ming Ren let out an unsympathetic oh and held Lin Jiangs hand. Now Im not.
The girl gave up all hope and no longer in the mood for ss, she ran out crying, brushing past the shoulders of the lecturer.
Gu Ming Ren turned a blind eye to it and said to Lin Jiang, You can continue. Lin Jiang felt guilty.
So this was the girl who had gone to Moon Lake with Gu Ming Ren!
And he had thought...
No private conversations during ss! Lin Jiang forcefully ended the conversation.
Gu Ming Ren was amused and ruffled his hair. Youre really not qualified to say that.
Lin Jiang rolled his eyes. Looking down on the cker? Ha, youre forever the second-best and you have the nerve to be arrogant? He criticised silently. Gu Ming Ren was a mind-reading expert and his eyes drifted over to him. Scolding me in your head again? Lin Jiang cursed and denied it quickly three times in session. I didnt. I would never. Dont talk nonsense.
Chapter 100 - Side Story 10 – I Think You Want to Eat Me (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 100 - Side Story 10 C I Think You Want to Eat Me (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
All the freshmen majoring in finance realised that master Gu, who had both a high IQ and good looks, would skip any ss except moral education. It was rumoured that was so that he could apany his little boyfriend to ss.
The little boyfriend had been dug out as being the worst performer of the archaeology department. Because he was nothing special to look at, the girls majoring in finance firmly believed that Gu Ming Ren was getting the short end of the stick!
At that moment, Lin Jiang was working in the milk tea shop and senselessly browsing through the web forum.
He had finally experienced the controversy that ensued when Ji Liao and his Ming Ge had gone public. How could people say he was a vixen reincarnated?! Lin Jiang wanted tough, never expecting a day when he would receive such an honour!
There were two knocks on the table and Lin Jiang quickly hid his phone. His smile started to form but as soon as he saw the person, he took it back.
Why did youe?
Gu Ming Ren looked at the menu and said mildly, Why cant Ie?
His little boyfriend was busier than him and never took the initiative to look for him, so of course, he had toe over.
Lin Jiang gave him a look, then asked solemnly, What are you drinking? Gu Ming Ren ordered the best-selling milk tea.
Lin Jiang continued to ask, How sweet do you want it? I dont want it to be sweet.
What kind of milk tea is it if it isnt sweet?!
Lin Jiang roasted him. He didnt know why but he just wanted to take jabs at Gu Ming Ren. He would be happy once he made Gu Ming Ren angry.
Are you like this to your other customers? Gu Ming Ren found a seat and sat down.
He hade straight to see Lin Jiang after his ss ended and didnt expect this son of a bitch to not even show him a nice expression.
Look at what you ordered for yourself. If you dont add sugar, can it still be called milk tea? Lin Jiang was being antagonistic while keying in the order with familiarity but smiled when he turned away.
There werent many people in the shop at that moment. Gu Ming Rens gaze dropped from Lin Jiangs back all the way down and stopped at his perky bottom. The apron ties were resting on his bottom and the image was causing him to have wild thoughts. He suddenly had a smile on his face and said, You really deserve some H.
When Lin Jiang heard, he turned and red at him fiercely.
After the milk tea was prepared and sealed, Lin Jiang stuck a straw in and sullenly ced it in front of Gu Ming Ren.
Some people looked well-dressed but in fact, were animals inside. That was him!
Right then, Zhang Wei arrived.
She was probably in a good mood as her make-up was exquisite and she was carrying a small handbag. At a nce, one would think she was a socialite from the upper ss, out of ce in this ordinary milk tea shop.
Hey, Xiao Ming Ren?
Zhang Wei saw Gu Ming Ren sitting in the shop and her eyes lit up instantly. She walked over with a smile and said, Xiao Ming Ren, do you still remember Jiejie?!
Expressionless, Gu Ming Ren sucked up a mouthful of milk tea, swept his gaze over Zhang Wei and said tonelessly, I dont know you. Tsk, when you were a child, you said you wanted to marry me when you grow up! Have you forgotten? Zhang Wei reminded him.
Thinking that he would misunderstand, Gu Ming Ren automatically nced at Lin Jiang, not expecting to see the son of a bitch looking like he was going to see a good show and as if it had nothing to do with him.
I cant remember. Gu Ming Ren was reluctant to face Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei was the daughter of Li Yans good friend. She often came to his house to y when she was young and frequently took advantage of him, even forcing him to say that he would marry her when he grew up. Gu Ming Ren felt that this woman could take a lot of credit for himter disliking the opposite sex.
Im guessing you dont want to take responsibility. While saying that, Zhang Wei looked like she was about to stretch out her ws and refamiliarize herself with the proud face of Xiao Ming Ren.
There was a deep frown on Gu Ming Rens face and he was about to dodge when he heard Lin Jiang interrupt in a hurry, Wei Jie! Hes my boyfriend.
There was an obvious intent to dere his ownership in that statement and Gu Ming Ren couldnt stop the corners of his lips from curving up. Son of a bitch finally remembers his status, he thought.
Xiao Ming Ren, you dare to have gay rtions?! Does Auntie Li know? Uncle Gu allows you to behave like this?! Zhang Wei had an incredulous expression on her face and even her tone was filled with absurdity.
If Gu Ming Ren came out of the closet, the Gu family would be turned upside-down.
It has nothing to do with you. Gu Ming Ren looked at her with a strong warning in his eyes.
Zhang Wei was frightened by the flicker of intensity in his eyes but it was just for a second, then sheughed. How could it have nothing to do with me? You said before that you would marry me! Moreover, Lin Jiang...
Zhang Weis eyes swept over Lin Jiang and she flipped her long hair, winking as she said, I dont think he has anypetitive strengths. Xiao Ming Ren, you deserve better, like me.
Zhang Wei bit her red lips sexily.
Damn it, I quit!
Lin Jiang untied his apron and gave vent to his anger by throwing it on the ground. Then he pulled Gu Ming Rens cor and gave him a hard kiss. Who do you think you are, trying to poach him away in front of me? He likes me, so whats it to you?!
With that, Lin Jiang dragged Gu Ming Ren away, not caring about whatever expression Zhang Wei might have on her face. That was such intolerable bullying. How could he not havepetitive strengths?! The web forum even had people praising him about being a vixen reincarnated!
Lin Jiang was indignant and the person beside him held onto his wrist. Lin Jiang turned back and said angrily to him, You shut up! If you dare to say a word, Ill hit you until your head explodes!
Gu Ming Ren put his arm around his shoulder andughed silently. Then hit me. Its not like as if Ive never been hit by you. Lin Jiang could not be reconciled and his chest rose and fell intensely. Gu Ming Ren hugged him tenderly. Im very happy.
He was even happier than the day when the other boy had admitted he wanted to be with him. This kind of happiness was down-to-earth. He could feel the boys care and his uneasy heart was relieved.
Happy my foot! You just want to see me make a fool out of myself!
Lin Jiang felt disgraced. He was a man and he had to fight with a woman for a man. How disgraceful!
Gu Ming Ren tilted his head to kiss Lin Jiangs mouth, wanting to use action to tell him that it wasnt disgraceful in the least and that he was really happy that he had done that.
Lin Jiang was still angry and returned the kiss forcefully as if he was venting his anger by sucking. Gu Ming Ren managed to dispel all of it.
Lin Jiang gradually began to lose strength and panting, he pushed him away while saying suspiciously, Arent you too skilled?
He remembered that Gu Ming Ren had never dated before! How could he do it with such ease?! He was being kissed until he couldnt stand properly!
Gu Ming Ren gave a lowugh. Im only skilled with you.
He was telling the truth. Previously, he had thought about kissing Lin Jiangs mouth countless times, simting that kind of intertwining and sweetness. After many simtions, his actions, in reality, would naturally be skilled.
Lin Jiang felt that this sentence was too sappy and shuddered.
He let out a long sigh. No more job.
Gu Ming Ren looked at him askance. Not enough money to spend?
It didnt matter if he didnt work those odd jobs. It wasnt like he couldnt support him.
Lin Jiang blurted out, Youre speaking like as if you can support me for my entire life.
Zhang Weis words had warned him that Gu Ming Ren could note out of the closet. He had known for a long time that the two of them would have no future together. Letting the other boys destion go to his head, he had decided to indulge for a while until it would be impossible.
Youre thinking of breaking up with me?
Gu Ming Rens expression changed and he held Lin Jiangs arm tightly.
Lin Jiangs heart was like a mirror. Both of them were men so he knew how to cajole a partner he was dating just like Gu Ming Ren was now demanding to know if he was thinking of breaking up with him. Once this question was out, it was clear how important his position was. How could he not be grateful?
Lin Jiang was unwilling toplement his performance but he had also never thought of breaking up. He clumsily hijacked the topic of conversation. Im hungry. Lets go eat first.
Not able to get an answer, Gu Ming Rens previously settled heart became tense again. He continued holding on to Lin Jiangs arm, his feet unmoving and his eyes staring inly at him.
Lin Jiang had no choice but to shamelessly give him a kiss. What break up are you talking about? Weve only been together for a few days! At this, Gu Ming Ren rxed and reluctantly allowed himself to be dragged away by Lin Jiang.
He was very uneasy, always feeling that the other boy would leave him at any time, or that maybe he didnt have the intention of staying with him for a long time from the start.
Therere no sses in the afternoon. Lets go back to eat. Ill make something for you to eat. Gu Ming Ren said.
Lin Jiang stopped to look at him and smiled slyly. I think you want to eat me!
Calcting that it had been some time since they had done it, Lin Jiang agreed and they went to a supermarket to buy cooking ingredients. In the end, they didnt buy a lot of ingredients but ended up with a cartful of snacks. Lin Jiang was in a bad mood and wanted to binge on snacks. Anyway, it wasnt his money being spent.
Gu Ming Ren didnt stop him and indulged Lin Jiang in almost all of his wilful behaviour.
When they reached home, Lin Jiang burrowed himself in the sofa ying games while Gu Ming Ren was busy in the kitchen preparing four dishes and a soup. After feeding him, he was stripped and eaten up. Lin Jiang felt so good that he lifted his chin while Gu Ming Ren kissed his lips from above. After many times of such interactions, they had a tacit understanding and could unlock anything with a high difficulty.
Lin Jiang asked in a faltering voice, If...if...if she tells your parents...
The rest of the sentence was swallowed down. Even so, Gu Ming Ren knew that he was talking about Zhang Wei. If she tells, then so be it. They would know sooner orter.
If they knew, then it would hasten the breakup. Once Lin Jiang thought of this, he wished he could drain Gu Ming Ren. He didnt know if he would ever find such a satisfactory person in future. He suddenly regretted that he didnt get together with the other boy in high school and had wasted so much time.
After they exhausted themselves, Lin Jiang leaned against Gu Ming Ren in his arms and thought about what he would do after they broke up. He had to find a serious job to earn money, otherwise, he wouldnt be able to afford his tuition. He suddenly thought of his parents and didnt know if they were doing well abroad.
Where did you send my parents to? Lin Jiang asked curiously.
Gu Ming Ren paused for a moment. I dont know. I didnt buy the air tickets.
Lin Jiang said oh and nothing more after that. He was a little sleepy and resting his head against the other boys arm, he slowly closed his eyes.
It was a good nights sleep until dawn.
The first thing he saw when he woke up was a woman, full of personality, pushing the door open on her way in. He was so scared that he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
Only then did he realise that Gu Ming Ren wasnt beside him.
Li Yans mind shook and she was slightly unsteady on her feet. Inside the room, the smell of sex still lingered in the air. She trembled while pointing at Lin Jiang. Who are you?!
Lin Jiang froze for a long time and couldnt say who he was.
Gu Ming Ren returned from buying breakfast downstairs. He saw the high-heeled shoes at the door and his heart stopped.
Quickly going inside, he saw Li Yan at the room door exchanging wide-eyed stares with Lin Jiang and his whole body went cold.
Mom. Gu Ming Ren called out.
Li Yan looked back at him with wet eyes, her tears falling silently, causing Gu Ming Rens heart to ache.
Mom. He attempted tofort Li Yan but could not say a word.
Chapter 101 - Side Story 11 – I Cant Do Without You (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 101 - Side Story 11 C I Cant Do Without You (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
The scene of a soning out of the closet due to his mother catching him in the act was very painful.
This was especially so for Lin Jiang, whose entire body stiffened after hearing Gu Ming Ren call the woman Mom. There was only a thin sheet covering his body and underneath that thin sheet, he was naked. Although Gu Ming Rens mother couldnt see, he himself knew it and felt indescribably cheap.
Li Yan had been born into a well-known family. Her good upbringing determined that she wouldnt say or do anything ugly regardless of how shocked and angry she was. After recovering from the shock, she even averted her eyes and went into the living room, giving Lin Jiang the chance to get out of bed and dressed.
It was precisely such gentleness and propriety that made Gu Ming Ren unable to disregard everything ande out at home. If one out of the two sides was bad, he would not hesitate to choose the other side. But his parents trusted and loved him, so he subconsciously considered their feelings and couldnt do anything reckless.
Gu Ming Ren knelt down in front of Li Yan with a thud. This action made Li Yan cover her mouth and her tears fell.
She thought that her proud son would never have such a vulnerable side but now, he was kneeling in front of her for the boy in the room. Li Yan knew her son. If he had a choice, he wouldnt show weakness easily.
When the second son of the He family came out, she was very worried that since her son was so close to the other boy, he might have problems in that area as well. Sure enough, it had been verified today.
Lin Jiang came out after getting dressed, saw Gu Ming Ren kneeling upright and froze. His gaze shifted to Li Yan. Li Yan turned away, facing her back to him and lifted a hand to wipe at the tears on her face as if in a gesture of rejection.
Lin Jiang wanted to be polite by calling her Auntie but it seemed to be unachievable in this situation. He paused then went straight to the door to put on his shoes. He should be self-aware and leave before he was chased away.
Gu Ming Ren was so rmed that he stood up immediately but his arm was held by Li Yan.
Mom, Ill just say a few words. Ill be right back. He pushed Li Yans hand aside then ran out to chase after Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang was waiting for the elevator, his eyes on his feet and his heart reluctant. He had never felt like this before, his chest swollen and painful like as if he was drowning and he couldnt breathe.
Gu Ming Ren pressed down on his shoulder, looked into his eyes and said slowly, Go back to the dormitory and wait for me. Dont go anywhere else and keep your phone on, okay?
Lin Jiang smiled at him and with a casual tone, said, Okay, I know.
Looking at his smiling face, Gu Ming Ren was extremely uneasy. He stared at the other boys face for a long time, then said earnestly and with certainty, Lin Jiang, I cant do without you.
So please stay by my side.
Lin Jiangs pupils widened and even the tip of his heart trembled. Many yearster, he recalled that he had been willing to stay with Gu Ming Ren for ten years without any status,rgely because of this statement.
From the moment her son pushed her hand away, Li Yan knew his choice. She felt coldness and heartache. Why did he have to like men? She wasnt repelled by homosexuality. If they were just an ordinary household, she wouldnt be so opposed to it. But they werent. Gu Ming Ren was not only responsible for the future of the Gu family but also for the future of the Li family.
Break it off. Li Yan closed her eyes. The earlier the better.
Gu Ming Rens knees touched the ground. He looked at Li Yan and said hoarsely, I cant do it.
Listening to him uttering these words with difficulty, her nose stung and she almost dissolved into tears. Then what are you going to do?
The matter ofing out not only had to be exined to the Gu family elders but also her mothers side. At the thought of that kind of pressure, Li Yan felt like she was going to faint.
On Lin Jiangs end, he returned to his dorm room with a lot of worries on his mind. When Hao Meng saw him, he rushed over and cried, Boo hoo hoo Lin Jiang, youre back atst. Do you know what happenedst night? A bird flew into the dormitory! I was scared to death.
Hao Mengined expressively, Do you know how scary that bird was? He even pooped on your bed! Only upon hearing this did Lin Jiang respond. What did you say?! He quickly climbed up into his bed and found a lump of bird droppings beside his pillow.
Fuck! Lin Jiang cursed, resigned to his bad luck.
Hao Meng muttered from below, Who told you note back at night to sleep!
Lin Jiang rolled his eyes at him. Originally, he was still immersed in the misery of being caught in bed by Gu Ming Rens mother. Now facing such an incident, he no longer had time to be miserable and rolled up the bedsheets, throwing them into the trash can.
He went downstairs to buy new ones and Hao Meng followed, asking for guidance in a small voice, Lin Jiang, how did you pick up your boyfriend? Teach me. He hadnt dated for a long time and really wanted to talk about it.
Lin Jiang wasnt listening to him at all and randomly hummed in response.
What are you humming about? Dont tell me its because youre better at oral sex? Hao Meng scratched his head.
Lin Jiang walked into the small supermarket and after a nce at the three-piece set on the shelf, he picked a colour that matched Gu Ming Rens home. When he went to cashier to pay, Hao Meng was still jabbering on. Why dont you tell me? Who pursued whom?
Lin Jiang paid and walked out of the supermarket. He took out his phone to check but there were no calls.
Familiarity breeds fondness.
If he hadnt taken the initiative to give himself to Gu Ming Ren, the two of them would likely not have gotten together. Gu Ming Ren was one who kept things to himself and was unwilling to force him. In actuality, he was the type of person who needed a push. Without it, he would never know what he wanted.
Thats going too far! Hao Meng pursed his lips. At his height, he had difficulty even hooking up. How was he to get into a situation of fondness being bred by familiarity?!
You even said you were straight. You can really conceal it! Even deeper than his deeply-closeted self.
Lin Jiang didnt answer and walked away silently.
He only received Gu Ming Rens call that night. It was veryte, at around eleven.
The voice on the other end of the phone was very low and Lin Jiangs ears tingled listening to it. He got up from his bed and leaned against the wall in the moonlight. Are you okay? Need me tofort you? He joked.
Gu Ming Ren was locked in his room to reflect and had just gotten his phone. While his parents were sleeping, hemissioned a housekeeper who felt sorry for him.
After the disclosure, he found that he was much more rxed. No longer under the great pressure, he just had to wait for the trial. Hearing Lin Jiangs voice, Gu Ming Ren couldnt hide his smile. You canfort me.
Lin Jiang smiled as well, his sharp canine teeth were especially adorable under the moonlight. Dont worry. If I havent drained you, I wouldnt break up with you. This was exactly the assurance that Gu Ming Ren wanted to hear. He never expected Lin Jiang to say it so easily and his heart bloomed instantly.
Then Im afraid youll have to be with me for the rest of your life.
Lin Jiang said in disdain. Dont be so sure. Keep your kidneys healthy! The day you cant perform, Ill kick you out! Gu Ming Ren was about to say that he could count on him when the housekeeper called out softly at his window, Young master, its almost time. He could only make a ten-minute phone call.
Gu Ming Ren exined briefly, I might not be at school these few days and my phone will be confiscated. Lin Jiang, remember what you just said, that you wouldnt break up with me until youve drained me. If I go out and dont see you, youre dead.
Lin Jiangughed wildly. What kind of domineering presidents tone is this? Hahaha...
When the call ended, Gu Ming Ren passed the phone to the housekeeper through the window.
Lin Jiang grinned from ear to ear at the screen of his phone, inexplicably having the feel of dating.
He suddenly remembered his sand sculpture love from high school and being cheated by Li Si Ran. Fortunately, he had resisted her at the time and didnt have much physical contact or he would really be disgusted.
But why did he resist Li Si Ran at that time? Was his body naturally capable of warning him of bitches? Or was he already bent at that time...
Lin Jiang didnt dare to think about it and decided to go to sleep first.
The next day, almost the entire school knew that Gu Ming Ren had a fiance, although the source of the news was unknown. It was thedy boss of the milk tea shop from the student street. It was said that she was six years older than Gu Ming Ren and was also a senior from their school a graduate student from University A.
After Zhang Weis status came out, Lin Jiang became very embarrassed when he was pointed out by others without any reason. Even Hao Meng asked him, What happened with the two of you?
Hao Meng didnt think Lin Jiang had broken up with Gu Ming Ren. Last night, he heard the phone call between them and the tone was so sweet that he was envious.
Was it forced by his family? Hao Meng guessed.
Lin Jiang closed the book impatiently and slumped onto the desk while waiting for the teacher to arrive.
I dont know.
Gu Ming Ren saidst night that he was being locked up. That didnt mean that he was being starved right? After all, he was their biological son, Lin Jiang thought silently. Hao Meng saw his worried face and didnt ask further, obediently waiting for the ss to start.
In the end, the teacher didnte. Instead, a beautiful senior came and the ss instantly let out a cheer. Lin Jiang looked up and saw that it was Zhang Wei!
Today, Zhang Wei was wearing a business casual outfit and held a teaching n in her arms, looking somewhat like a teacher.
She looked around the ss and said with a smile, Im your Xuejie, surname Zhang. Im called Zhang Wei. Professor Lee has been temporarily sent to an archaeological dig for about a month. During this month, I will be the substitute until Professor Leees back.
No one disliked a beautiful teacher and even the girls were no exception. There was a round of apuse in ss and only Lin Jiang frowned.
Zhang Xuejie, was the milk tea shop in the student street opened by you?! I patronize it often! Someone said.
Zhang Wei replied to her, Thank you to this regr patron. I hope that youll attend my sses often in theing month as well. Next, lets take attendance.
When Lin Jiangs name was called, Zhang Wei paused meaningfully and her eyes red. Lin Jiang scoffed and looked away.
Before the ss started, someone asked, Zhang Xuejie, is Gu Ming Ren from the finance faculty your fianc?!
Lin Jiang looked at the person asking the question and saw that she wasnt an archaeology student but the one who ran out crying during the moral education ss!
Zhang Wei gave a bright smile and admitted, Yes, weve known each other since we were very young. The girl looked at Lin Jiang smugly and felt very happy!
How could she lose to a stinking boy!
Lin Jiang snorted out augh. Not to be outdone, he pulled aside his cor. The night beforest, he and Gu Ming Ren had done it vigorously, leaving a lot of marks on his body, which could be conveniently used to provoke her at that moment.
Lin Jiang lowered his head for a look to confirm that the hickey was still visible and he felt reassured.
The girls face immediately became as green as a cucumber and she scolded in a frail voice, Youve no shame!
Chapter 102 - Side Story 12 – Have Some Fun (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 102 - Side Story 12 C Have Some Fun (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Lin Jiang shrugged. He was that shameless.
Zhang Wei cleared her throat then started the ss. Lin Jiang listened to her chanting until his lids became heavy and he finally fell asleep on his desk.
When he awoke, the ssroom was already empty and only Zhang Wei was left at the lectern sorting through the course materials.
Lin Jiang quietly med Hao Meng for not waking him up. That guy had surely rushed straight to the canteen to buy food immediately after ss. That worthless thing! Only thinking about eating all the time, so much so that he could forget such a big living person such as himself.
Lin Jiang grabbed his book and prepared to leave but unsurprisingly bumped into Zhang Wei who was holding the lesson n in her arms.
Zhang Weis beauty was bright and mboyant, bringing with it a strong offensive. When she smiled, it eased the look slightly, making her appear gentler.
Her charming eyes looked at Lin Jiang as if she was looking at a child and her eyes carried a sense of unfairness within them. Lin Jiang, arent you going to greet me? No matter what, Im still your love rival, right?
Zhang Wei had just received the call from the Queen Motherst night, wanting her to step up and admit to her status of being Gu Ming Rens fiance. She guessed that the matter of her two little friends dating had been discovered. At that time, Zhang Wei had let out a derisive sound, feeling that they were really pathetic for their love nest to be exterminated before she even lodged aint.
Lin Jiang chuckled in his heart and put on a fake smile, saying, Xuejie seems to have overestimated herself. Gu Ming Ren doesnt fancy you.
The other boys eyes were already stuck on him and no one else would be pleasing to his eye. Lin Jiang was that self-confident!
Zhang Wei sneered. Its best that you listen to my word of advice. Dont ce too much hope in Gu Ming Ren. I know the two of you have amon friend that hase out sessfully. But dont forget, the He family is dealing in purely business but the Gu family is involved in both business and politics. Their situation is a lot moreplicated than the He family.
Zhang Wei was extremely resentful of Lin Jiangs confidence and felt that he was being really silly, just like how she was back then, innocently believing that there was such a thing as invincible love in this world.
If you dont believe me, then just wait and see.
Zhang Wei was able to keep up well in this y. She wanted Lin Jiang to open his eyes and see how mens mouths could drift.
When Zhang Wei left school, she drove to the Gu family home.
The atmosphere was oppressive in the Gu family home. There were clearly servants walking around everywhere but not a sound was heard. It looked exactly like a silent movie.
Zhang Wei said something to disrupt the undercurrent. Auntie Li.
She had a nice voice a little sweetness in the midst of the intellect.
Li Yans face had been covered in tears all day and she was looking a few years older. She had originally been sitting in the living room staring into space and was interrupted by Zhang Wei. Turning her head, she saw an animated, young face and it eased her mind slightly.
Wei Wei. Li Yan treated Zhang Wei like her own daughter, pulling her to sit down. Has your mom told you everything?
Yes, she has. No problem. Zhang Wei smiled. Moreover, I quite like Xiao Ming.
Li Yan liked the candid yet shy expression she saw.
It was a pity that her son was bent.
Li Yan sighed.
With a meaningful look, Zhang Wei consoled her, Auntie Li, actually a majority of people in this world are bisexual. Xiao Ming could be as well. Even if he was bent, she would find a way to make him straight.
Li Yan knew little about this so she kept quiet and didnt say anything.
She just felt heartache for her son. Back then after ten months of pregnancy, she had given birth with great difficulty, a lot of bleeding and nearly died. That was why there never was any intention of having a second child even though Li Yan had a good rtionship with Gu Wen Tian for so many years. The doctor said she bled easier, so he didnt rmend having another one.
Li Yan asked Zhang Wei to stay for dinner. Having been locked up for two days, Gu Ming Rens face was a little haggard. With tightly pursed lips, his expression didnt improve after seeing Zhang Wei. Xiao Ming Ren, you really hurt me. Zhang Wei pretended to cover her chest with a heart-broken expression.
Drama queen.
Gu Ming Ren withdrew his gaze and sat down to eat with a cold expression on his face.
Li Yandled some soup for him, her eyes were tearful and it made a sad sight.
Go back to school for sses this afternoon.
In a fit of anger, Gu Wen Tian had made him stay in his room to reflect but keeping him locked up wasnt a solution. Li Yan was so distressed that she even felt Gu Ming Ren had gotten thinner after less than two days.
Okay. This result was faster than expected.
It also originated from his mothers kindness and love.
The first thing Gu Ming Ren did when he got his phone back was to transfer money to Lin Jiang. However, there was a limit on the transfer. He asked Lin Jiang to meet him at a designated ce with his bank card.
Gu Wen Tian could be cutting off his funds at any time and before that happened, he had to ensure that Lin Jiang had enough for his future school fees and expenses.
The son of a bitch was extravagant with his spending. Gu Ming Ren hated that he was only neen years old and unable to give the other boy a stable life.
I thought you were going to be a few more days. I didnt expect it to be so soon.
Smiling, Lin Jiang walked towards him withrge strides betraying the calm mask on his face. He stood beside Gu Ming Ren, actually wanting very much to hug him but he restrained himself.
Gu Ming Ren took his hand and they both let out a sigh of relief when their palms touched.
Did your dad hit you? Lin Jiang teased. His palm was hot and he wanted to divert attention away from it.
Gu Ming Ren simply replied, No.
He took Lin Jiangs card to the counter to transfer the money. Lin Jiang asked flippantly, How much are you transferring to me? Not afraid that Ill run away with your money? Hearing the two words run away, Gu Ming Ren broke out in cold sweat and he stared into Lin Jiangs eyes for a long time, then said firmly, You wouldnt dare.
Lin Jiang smiled brightly with his canine teeth biting his lip gently. I only wouldnt want to, not wouldnt dare to!
Who was he afraid of?
Except for his Ming Ge.
Gu Ming Renughed for the first time today and finally realised that the other boy was not just brash when he spoke, but his asional words of affection were pleasant to hear as well.
He couldnt help pulling Lin Jiangs hand onto his leg, repeatedly rubbing and fiddling with it. His fingertip traced the other boys slender fingers, then he sped them with their fingers intertwined.
The youngdy at the bank looked at them with a constipated expression on her face and attempted to say something several times but stopped.
From what she guessed, the two teenagers were preparing to elope and were now waiting for the money to be transferred. But five minutes ago, this card had already been frozen.
Eh...
After forming a mental picture of the situation, she felt that it was too tragic and couldnt bear to tell them that they had lost their runaway funds.
In the end, she was found out by her supervisor because she was conflicted for too long. Her supervisor checked the ount, then used the red hundred dor bills in hand to hit her on the head. Distracted again! Distracted again! At work for seven hours but distracted for five hours!
She was aggrieved and felt that the supervisor would surely be unable to find a girlfriend at this rate!
With a mournful expression on her face, she told Gu Ming Ren, Im sorry, your card has been frozen ten minutes ago, so you cant transfer the money. Gu Ming Ren frowned and took back his card.
Not minding it, Lin Jiang consoled him, Forget it, self-reliance is also quite good. Although he didnt know how to do anything, at least he knew how tofort himself.
Gu Ming Ren didnt say anything and held his hand to lead him away.
Along the way, he was very withdrawn and his head was down. The sses on the bridge of his nose slipped to the tip and when it fell, it was caught by Lin Jiangs nimble fingers.
Whats the matter? Lin Jiang saw that he was very glum and couldnt help moving closer, asking, In a bad mood?
He helped Gu Ming Ren to put his sses back on. Dont tell me you still want me to pamper you, Gu Shao?
Lin Jiang awkwardly swung their sped hands and his entire body immediately let out a shudder.
He really didnt know how to act coquettishly!
I...
Gu Ming Ren looked at Lin Jiang. His Adams apple bobbed, the words reaching his mouth then swallowed down again. He wanted to say, arent I really useless.
Compared to He Cheng Ming, he was reallycking and had not prepared for anything. He had always been in a passive position regarding his parents and essible funds, just muddling along. Now that the other boy was with him, he couldnt protect him. What was more selfish was that, even in this situation, he hoped that Lin Jiang would forever be by his side.
Gu Ming Ren seemed to be trapped in a closed loop and he was disheartened.
The freezing of his bank card was thest straw.
Hey, are you sick?! Lin Jiang couldnt understand how the other boy was processing it and kicked the tip of his shoe with his foot.
Gu Ming Ren raised his head and held Lin Jiangs face affectionately. His pale lips bumped against Lin Jiangs mouth, touching it lightly, then leaving it again. He did this over and over again until Lin Jiang was so stirred up he was on fire and said angrily, Can you fucking be more straightforward?!
Okay, he responded in a low voice and opened his mouth to entangle their tongues together.
Lin Jiang really admired his kissing technique which was able to make him so weak at the waist that he couldnt support himself.
After the passionate kiss, Lin Jiang took a breath and said, Are you in a bad mood? Why dont we go and have some fun?
The look in Gu Ming Rens eyes gradually changed. Lin Jiang cursed and immediately cut in, I meant bungee jumping! Or boxing and so on! Whats inside your head?!
Gu Ming Ren inconspicuously puffed out his lips. Actually, he knew of a boxing gym. It was better to go stretch his body and relieve his gloomy thoughts.
Gu Ming Ren checked the time. There were still three hours to go before his afternoon ss.
Okay.
He had driven so Lin Jiang sat in the front passenger seat. He asked offhand, When did you get your driving licence? Summer vacation.
Lin Jiang let out an oh sound but wasnt actually paying attention as he was ying a game.
The boxing gym was on the top level of themercial centre.
As soon as Lin Jiang went up, he regretted it. This was a luxuriously decorated and grand area. They didnt have money! The other boys card had just been cut-off! Although he still had some money on his side, they couldnt be so extravagant and wasteful now that there was no golden thigh to hug. He could only rely on his own frugality and be a sensible little boyfriend.
Lets go. Lets go. We cant y here.
Something suddenly shed in Gu Ming Rens mind. He strode to the front desk and recited a phone number. Lin Jiang remembered that this was his Ming Ges number.
After the youngdy at the front desk keyed it in and confirmed that he was a VVIP customer, they were invited in.
Lin Jiangughed out loud. Is that eptable?!
Gu Ming Ren remembered that He Cheng Ming loved boxing. This ce had a reputation in A city so He Cheng Ming should be a regr customer.
Anyway, he was now in the capital and couldnt use it, so he might as well lend it to him for a fight with Lin Jiang.
Gu Ming Ren brought over the protective equipment and took the lead to step into the arena while warming up his muscles.
Lin Jiang was quite excited. In the past, all his fights were with He Cheng Ming and he was always brutalized by him. Today with Gu Ming Ren, he felt that he still had a small chance to disy his masculinity!
Chapter 103 - Side Story 13 – Became the Financial Backer (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 103 - Side Story 13 C Became the Financial Backer (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
With a red protective helmet on, Lin Jiang raised both arms in a preparatory position. He bent his back slightly and took two steps to make a preemptive move, taking a tentative swing at Gu Ming Ren.
Gu Ming Ren dodged easily and in almost the next second, arge fist quickly and urately moved straight towards Lin Jiangs head. Lin Jiang hurriedly raised his hands to block it but wasnt in time to avoid being hit, forcing him to retreat by two steps.
After stabilizing himself, he questioned Gu Ming Ren immediately, Are you pulling your punches?! If youre a man, then dont pull your punches! Do you look down on me?
Take that earlier punch, if the other boy didnt pull back, he would have been forced to retreat to the ropes at the very least, not just lightly jolted two steps back.
Gu Ming Ren pursed his lips and thought to himself, he was a man but at the same time, he was the other boys man. How could he not pull his punches?
Lin Jiang red at him fiercely. His next attack was merciless. Firstly, he swung his fist unexpectedly and following that, he put almost all his strength into the jab.
Boxing was a sport for the brave. The feeling of his blood boiling seemed to give Gu Ming Ren new life. After exploring Lin Jiangs strength, he started to fight against him seriously. Neither of them relented and came to blows while rolling on the ground.
Sitting on Gu Ming Ren, Lin Jiang gritted his teeth and said, Ive wanted to beat you up for a long time! Following that was a violent beating.
Gu Ming Ren fought back desperately, pushed Lin Jiang down and pressed against his body. You think I didnt want to? Son of a bitch!
After his heart opened, Gu Ming Ren kept Lin Jiang restrained on the ground and rubbed against him, simply venting his previous dissatisfaction.
Youre the son of a bitch! Stupid pervert! Lin Jiang swung a fist at him.
When they were in a straightforward mood, it wasnt easy for one to hold back their words. All sorts of things which they were previously unable to or dared not say were confessed until everything was turned inside out.
The two teenagers were twisted into strange postures on the arena. When the muscr foreign private coach looked at them from below the arena, he said doubtfully, I think somethings not quite right with them.
His colleague walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Its as you think. Go on out. Youre not needed here. Aggrieved, the coach shrugged and sadly left the singles-unfriendly ce.
This no-holds-barred and messy boxing only stopped after an hour.
The two of them were overwhelmed. They threw down their boxing gloves andy down in the arena with their arms outstretched.
Gu Ming Ren looked at the ceiling of the boxing gym. He felt around twice and touched Lin Jiangs palm, sping his fingers.
Lin Jiang was still panting when he became aware of the other boys actions. He turned his head to look at Gu Ming Ren and grinned.
Then he suddenly remembered what the other boy had called him.
Lin Jiang turned over and moved his leg to kick Gu Ming Rens waist. Once wasnt enough and he wanted it to do a second time when Gu Ming Ren firmly grasped his ankle.
What are you doing. His eyes were intense but his tone was mild and did not show whether he was happy or angry.
Lin Jiang sat up and removed his helmet. He flung his hair twice, sweat flying everywhere.
Earlier, who did you call son of a bitch?! He grabbed Gu Ming Rens cor with an expression that said, Im settling the score with you now so you had better obediently admit to your mistake.
Gu Ming Ren looked at him, his wet ck hair stuck to his forehead. It was short andyered like a foolish dog.
He removed the obstructing helmet and closed in on Lin Jiang, saying, Didnt you also call me a stupid pervert? Did I get back at you?
Lin Jiang was temporarily at a loss for words and Gu Ming Ren took the opportunity to encircle his waist. The two of them leaned very near to each other. They were chest to chest, almost able to feel the other boys heartbeat, just that they couldnt determine whether it was caused by their intense exercise or each other.
Besides their heartbeats, their breathing had also changed. Their nasal cavity filled with the sweaty smell of male hormones, acting like a human stimnt.
Their eyes met and they pulled away from each other.
They went individually to the VIP room for a bath and came out after changing into clean clothes. It was almost time and they drove to school.
Gu Ming Ren didnt find out about his fiance until he reached school. It was obvious that this was his fathers doing but what made him angry was that Lin Jiang hadnt responded and told him about the matter.
The microeconomics ss was very boring and there were corpses slumped throughout the ssroom. Gu Ming Ren was also a little distracted. After a thought, he took out his phone and sent Lin Jiang a message: Pick me up after ss. Lets eat together.
Behind that, he added a school building address.
Lin Jiang nced at the message. It was so far away! He replied somewhat unwillingly: Cant I wait for you at the canteen?
Gu Ming Ren sent him a smile: No.
Lin Jiang was speechless. Taking into consideration that the other boy was in a bad mood today, he reluctantly decided to pamper him: Okay, wait for Daddy to pick you up.
Gu Ming Renughed and typed a few words: Son of a bitch.
Lin Jiang replied bluntly: Stupid pervert!
The two of them each revised their contact names and felt the sweetness of being passionately in love.
Lin Jiang arrived ten minutes early. With both hands stuffed into his pockets, he leaned against the outside of Gu Ming Rens ssroom to wait for him.
When the ssroom door opened and the students poured out, all their eyes drifted towards Lin Jiang as if wondering why he was there.
Thanks to school grass Gu, Lin Jiang was now a big star in the finance faculty and everyone knew who he was.
When Gu Ming Ren came out and saw him, he couldnt hide his good mood. Whenever the other boy was obedient, it was always especially pleasing to his eyes and it made him overwhelmed with emotions.
Gu Ming Ren walked over and took Lin Jiangs hand, not caring about the gazes of people nearby. He even tried to do something intimate but was stopped by Lin Jiang. Are you fucking shameless?
In front of everybody, he had the cheek to make a move on him, a handsome young man.
Wanting a kiss that he couldnt get, Gu Ming Ren pulled a long face.
Lin Jiang again saw that lingering girl who was rushing over to question them. How could you guys do this! He already has a fiance and youre still pestering him.
The second part of the statement was directed at Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang really wanted to say, please sis, I beg you to use your own big, Carn eyes to see clearly that its your male god thats always taking advantage of me, okay?!
Gu Ming Ren pulled Lin Jiang behind him and said coldly to the girl, I dont have a fiance. The only one he would recognise was Lin Jiang.
The girl was heartbroken and after watching them leave, she took out her phone to report to Zhang Wei.
Lin Jiang was led out of the school building while mulling over it. Could this stupid pervert have insisted on Lin Jianging to meet him for the sake of refuting the rumour?
Lin Jiang smiled. Actually, he didnt care. Regarding the fiance, the matter looked very fake at first sight. However, he was very confused about Zhang Wei and couldnt tell if she was good or bad.
Previously when he was working in the milk tea shop, he felt that Zhang Wei was a good person and took good care of him. Only after Gu Ming Ren appeared, she changed and had a sort of viinous feel. But Zhang Wei didnt seem like she liked Gu Ming Ren. Could it be that she liked him?!
Lin Jiang shook his head, feeling that he seemed to be overly narcissistic recently and needed to control it.
There were several canteens at University A and they went to the nearest one.
It was the first time Gu Ming Ren was eating in the canteen and he attracted the eyes of many girls. Lin Jiang tutted, feeling like he had been PK into scum beside the other boy. But when he paid for Gu Ming Ren, the feeling was great. It was like he became the financial backer and was providing for a young handsome guy.
By the way, where will you be returning to tonight? Lin Jiang was quite curious and felt that Gu Ming Rens family could not have let them get away with it so easily.
Zhang Wei was right in something. The Gu family was much moreplicated than the He family. It would be almost impossible for Gu Ming Ren to cross the line.
Do you want to go back with me? Gu Ming Ren answered with a question.
No. Lin Jiang saw the invitation in his eyes but firmly rejected it.
He was traumatised by thest time he was caught in bed by Gu Ming Rens mother and never wanted to do it in that ce again!
Gu Ming Ren sometimes really admired Lin Jiang. He was obviously experiencing so many difficulties being abandoned by his parents, forcing himself to be intimate with Gu Ming Ren when he didnt like him, thenter liking him but not having his status recognised. These were all understood clearly by Lin Jiang but he never said anything and lived happily as if it was nothing.
After dinner, Gu Ming Ren wasnt in a hurry to go back. In any case, he had alreadye out of the closet, so was being more wilful.
He wanted to apany Lin Jiang and felt like he owed him a lot.
While they were walking around on campus, Lin Jiang could feel that the other boy was still moody. He went to the convenience store and bought two cans of beer.
Right then, it was getting dark. When Lin Jiang came out of the store, all of the campus street lights came on with a pop sound, giving him a scare and making him duck his head.
Not far away, Gu Ming Renughed. Lin Jiang ran over with a dark expression on his face and kicked him. What the heck are youughing at?
I bought beer for you and you stillugh at me?!
Gu Ming Ren took the beer, opened it and gave it to Lin Jiang. With a disdainful tone, Lin Jiang said, I fucking have hands. Do I need you to open it?!
Gu Ming Ren felt that he was really no fun.
He drank a mouthful himself.
There were many campus activities in the evening and energetic university students could be seen everywhere. After walking through the busy area, Lin Jiang saw the sign for Moon Lake ahead. Prodding Gu Ming Ren with his elbow, he smiled slyly and said, Lets go do something bad.
Gu Ming Ren was dragged along by him and felt his heart fluttering.
He, of course, knew that Moon Lake was the holynd of University As couples.
As they walked, they passed many couples by theke kissing, hugging and whispering with their heads close, causing Lin Jiangs face to redden. He sighed to himself. University was really different. If this was high school, this row of couples would have to go to the academic affairs office to get whipped.
Lin Jiangs wrist was suddenly pulled on. Gu Ming Ren signalled for him to sit under a gnarled tree. There was no point walking any further. This ce was too popr and the ces next to theke were all taken.
Lin Jiang was alright with the second-tier location and sat beside the gnarled tree.
As soon as he bumped his can with Gu Ming Ren, he saw a couple kissing in front of them. The two of them were silent, their Adams apple bobbed and they raised their heads to drink the beer. Lin Jiang swallowed the icy liquid in his mouth then turned his head to Gu Ming Ren and said, Do you think that its only good if you can provide for me? Actually, he knew what the other boy was worried about and ming himself for. He looked simple-minded but in fact, understood it well.
Gu Shao, you are looking for a partner, not raising a son. Why do you put so much pressure on yourself.
Lin Jiang spoke in a rxed manner, his voice clear and sure as if this was just a small issue that had little impact on the main matter.
Chapter 104 - Side Story 14 – Rebellious and Wild Mandarin Ducks (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 104 - Side Story 14 C Rebellious and Wild Mandarin Ducks (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
That night, the moon was round and hanging high in the sky. The moonlight shone down on Gu Ming Rens face, passing through the transparent lenses and illuminating his pupils. Because I want to give you the best. Gu Ming Ren murmured.
He had always yed a strong role and acknowledged that if he loved Lin Jiang, he had to give him the best. If he couldnt, it only showed that he was a failure. Whats best? Lin Jiang looked at the full moon in the sky, missing his parents a little.
Ever since he was left behind, he learned something. Between idents and tomorrow, youll never know which one wille first. So the best attitude was to cherish the people in front of you and enjoy the present.
Lin Jiang winked, turning to face Gu Ming Ren with a mischievous smile on his face and said, I think youre very good. There is no best. To me, youre the best.
Take it easy, Gu Shao. Lets be a pair of rebellious and wild mandarin ducks! Lin Jiang seemed to be inspired and said optimistically.
When they could be wild, they should put in their best efforts to be wild. After being separated, he should not have regrets that he had not drained the other boy earlier.
Gu Ming Ren was a little stunned and found it hard to believe that these words wereing from his son of a bitchs mouth. He looked at Lin Jiang with his heart pounding and in aplete mess.
Responsibility had been his task since he was young. His family background determined what kind of person he had to be when he grew up. His life had been nned and just needed to be carried out gradually. In the end, Lin Jiang appeared, breaking his ideological shackles, allowing him to discover a different scenery which he would never tire of.
Gu Ming Ren turned his upper body and covered Lin Jiangs mouth, sampling it meticulously.
In the pure moonlight, the youths were passionately hugging and kissing.
Lin Jiang noticed a restless hand trying to get into his pants and quickly stopped him by saying, Hey, Gu Ming Ren, stop!
He didnt want to behave badly here with the other boy. If they werent careful and someone saw them, the front-page headlines of City A would be: Shocking, two male students from University A fighting fiercely on thewn, mutually fishing out each others penises!
Gu Ming Ren affectionately licked his tongue from the root and finally separated himself with great difficulty. He said in a hoarse voice, Call me Ge, Lin Jiang. Call me Ge. He didnt want to hear Gu Shao, nor was Lin Jiang allowed to call his full name.
Lin Jiang shuddered and stretched his neck. With his chin raised high and his lips covered, he managed to squeeze out a word, Ge. His voice was urgent and lustful, and Gu Ming Ren was instantly hard, his eyes bing extremely intense.
Yearning for more, he separated himself from Lin Jiangs lips. Lin Jiang panted and said with a smile, Ge, lets get a room. He couldnt do without one now.
So in the dim night light, they went at top speed to get a room near the school and did it three, four times with fiery passion. Lin Jiang shouted until his voice was hoarse, then fell asleep like the dead.
There was a dim light still on at the headboard. Gu Ming Ren checked his phone and saw seven or eight calls from Li Yan.
He kissed Lin Jiang, then walked to the bathroom to return the calls.
It was already the wee hours of the morning but he knew Li Yans character. If he didnt return the call today, Li Yan wouldnt sleep.
The call was quickly answered on the other side. Did you go and look for that boy again? Not even bothering to return home?
Li Yans voice sounded exhausted and weak, with an indistinct sobbing tone.
Gu Ming Ren wanted to console her by saying that he was at the residentialmunity but she was a step ahead of him and ruled it out by saying, Ive checked the cameras at your residentialmunity. You never went back there. Where are you now?
Gu Ming Ren choked for a moment and could only say honestly, In a hotel.
With such a location, Li Yan knew what was going on and felt that her son had really been sucked in. But she wasnt willing to give up yet and begged humbly, Ming Ren, Im begging you to break it off, okay? You were so obedient and sensible in the past, not like this. Ive never requested anything from you but just this once, can you listen to me just this once?
Their home used to be happy and harmonious. At the end, when this situation urred, it instantly became cold and heartless. Li Yan couldnt ept such a disparity and had to try persuading Gu Ming Ren.
Mom, Ive never requested anything from you before. But regarding this matter, dont force me.
At that moment, Gu Ming Ren was very annoyed and really wanted to smoke. Leaning against the sink, he looked at himself in the mirror. He was such a mess.
If theres nothing else...
Dont hang up, Ming Ren. Listen to me. Your dad has cut off your card. What are you going to do? After he found out that I let you go, he was very angry. At this, Li Yan let out a sigh. Find a suitable time toe back and Ill give you a supplementary card. This card is from your maternal grandfathers ount. Your dad doesnt know about it.
Li Yan didnt wish for her son to suffer as she couldnt bear it.
With difficulty, Gu Ming Ren let out a hum, then ended the call.
He washed his face and aftering out, he logged into the school system. He had already chosen all the courses for his second year but now, time was forcing him into a situation from which he couldnt escape scrutiny.
When Lin Jiang woke up the next day, his waist was aching so much that he could squeeze out lemon juice from it.
He cursed, looking at the empty spot beside him and was instantly furious. This heartless pervert, where has he gone?!
Lin Jiang called Gu Ming Ren with his phone. In the end, a vibration came from beside the pillow. Lifting it up, he realised that the other boy had not brought his phone with him.
Gu Ming Rens screensaver showed their high school basketball court. At second nce, Lin Jiang realised that there was a familiar person in the centre of the court. Sure enough, it was...
That stupid pervert sure was shy on the outside but wild on the inside.
Lin Jiang looked at the passcode screen and happily keyed in his birthdate. After essing the phone easily, he saw two missed calls showing: Wife. Wife?
Lin Jiang narrowed his eyes. He had a damn wife.
Gu Ming Ren returned from downstairs where he had bought breakfast. Stepping in, he found Lin Jiang holding his phone.
Youre awake? Do you feel ufortable anywhere? He had gone a little overboardst night. It was all to be med on the other boy who was desperately calling out Ge, stirring up excitement from his entire body.
Gu Ming Ren walked over and sat on the side of the bed, using the pad of his finger to caress Lin Jiangs face. The son of a bitch was really soft.
Whos your wife? Lin Jiang looked at him askance.
Gu Ming Ren thought it was a question and replied with augh, Its you. Lin Jiang sneered. Youve saved me as son of a bitch, so who is this wife?!
Lin Jiang threw the phone at him. He didnt think that Gu Ming Ren was cheating. If the other boy was still able to be with someone else considering the amount of time they spent fooling around together, he was really god-like. But he still had to ask what should be asked, otherwise, there would always be something bothering him.
Gu Ming Ren looked at it and frowned. I dont recognise this number. Moreover, he had never saved such a contact name.
Chapter 105 - Side Story 15 – Something Interesting (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 105 - Side Story 15 C Something Interesting (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Why dont you call and see? Lin Jiang asked tentatively.
Gu Ming Ren called the number and put the phone on speaker. Somehow, there was an extra number in his phone and he wanted to know who was responsible for it as well.
The sound of lively music came from the phone and was picked up on the second ring. Calling me so early in the morning, do you want to die?! It was the voice of an angry woman.
Lin Jiangs ears were sharp and immediately recognised the voice. He said softly, Seems like its Zhang Wei?
Yes? Who are you? Half-awake, Zhang Wei opened her eyes slightly. Looking at the caller ID, she forcefully pushed down her anger and said reluctantly, Xiao Ming Ren, missing Jiejie?
Gu Ming Ren resolutely hung up the phone, cklisted the number then deleted it. The chain of fluent actions stunned Lin Jiang.
I really dont know how the number got there. Two days ago, my phone was confiscated.
Gu Ming Ren exined earnestly while he used a big hand to knead Lin Jiangs waist. Lin Jiang was very happy with his tame and obedient appearance.
The number had already been deleted so what more could he say all he could do was wave a hand generously. Ill believe you reluctantly this once. Gu Ming Ren leaned in to kiss his mouth. Dont worry, Im only interested in you.
Lin Jiang had a has your spirit been changed expression on his face. Why was he suddenly so expressive?!
He pushed aside Gu Ming Rens head. I havent even fucking brushed my teeth yet!
Kiss my foot.
Gu Ming Ren wasnt annoyed and just pinched his bottom, saying tenderly, Go brush your teeth. When youre done,e out and eat your breakfast. Ill wait for you. Lin Jiang looked at him strangely, feeling that something wasnt right. Did he drain Gu Ming Ren so muchst night until he became foolish?
When he got off the bed and both feet touched the floor, the pain from his bottom made him suck in a breath of cold air.
Gu Ming Ren saw and lifted him up by the waist. He entered the bathroom, used a leg to pull a chair over and carefully ced Lin Jiang on it.
Lin Jiang: ...
Seeing the other boy helping him squeeze out the toothpaste and filling up a cup with water, Lin Jiang couldnt bear it any longer. Arent you being a bit too much? What are you trying to do? Did he want to swallow him whole or skin him alive?
Gu Ming Ren rubbed his head and looked indulgently at him. Its not too much. Good boy, youre worth it. Lin Jiang paused. Thats enough. You can back off.
He was feeling very flustered at that moment. What was going on? The cool school grass had suddenly be ap dog. And doing it so shamelessly? Could it be that his level of charisma had increased again?
Lin Jiang looked at himself in the mirror. Well, he had really be better-looking by quite a bit.
After he was done brushing his teeth and washing his face, Lin Jiang left the bathroom for breakfast. Gu Ming Ren had properly arranged everything for him, even the disposable chopsticks had been broken apart ready for use and ced there.
Lin Jiang nearly knelt in front of him. Ge, dont be like that. Im really scared.
After waking up, he felt that his boyfriend had be a different person. What kind of magical circumstance was this?
Gu Ming Ren frowned. He had seen He Cheng Ming pamper Ji Liao this way. Why wasnt it working when it came to him?
What are you scared of? Im pampering you. He said solemnly.
Lin Jiang shivered. Im scared that youre going fatten me up first, silence me, then sell me.
Nonsense. Gu Ming Ren held him around the waist. Ive thought about it. You were right. We should enjoy the present and at present, I want to treat you well.
But you dont have to treat me like Im disabled. Lin Jiang retorted.
Gu Ming Rens expression became detached in an instant and he kicked aside the chair while standing up. Eat by yourself, you son of a bitch!
At this, Lin Jiang heaved a sigh of relief. Quickly following that, he heard Gu Ming Ren asking him with a wrinkled brow, You like me treating you this way? Lin Jiang lowered his head to swallow a mouthful of porridge. Yeah, its fine as long as youre not being sappy.
It caused him to be in a state of confusion.
Gu Ming Ren adjusted his sses. Okay.
He sent a timetable to Lin Jiang. I may be very busy recently. This is my schedule. Take note of it ande over to apany me if you have time. Lin Jiang opened it to take a look. Fuck, this schedule is even tighter than that of high school! I want to graduate as soon as possible. After I graduate, Ill be able to protect you.
When Gu Ming Ren said this, he was expressionless, his eyes staring intensely at Lin Jiang. Under his stare, Lin Jiangs entire body tingled and even his chrysanthemum tightened.
Okay, I understand.
A month passed harmoniously during which Gu Ming Ren returned home asionally. He would see his mothers haggard face and her seemingly bad mood.
The weather was getting colder so he apanied Li Yan to bask in the sun for a while. Li Yan dozed next to his shoulder and unexpectedly fainted.
After Gu Ming Ren realised, he quickly picked her up and sent her to the hospital. Only then did he find out that Li Yan had been intermittently going for physical examinations and ovtion injections.
Li Yan was a woman with a strong sense of responsibility. She wasnt rigid and just loved both her husband and son too much. She didnt want either of them to be in a difficult position so she suffered by herself.
Li Yan didnt tell Gu Wen Tian about this, so he was furious when he found out, giving Gu Ming Ren a p and even asking him to get out.
The previous close rtionship between father and son was now estranged and detached.
Gu Ming Ren, of course, refused to leave and stayed at the door of the ward. Lin Jiang didnt know where he was and called him. After finding out about the situation, he didnt dare to disturb him further. He secretly went over to the hospital to have a look. Every time he saw the troubled expression on Gu Ming Rens face, his heart ached and he couldnt move.
When Lin Jiang came back from the hospital, Hao Meng told him that Professor Li had returned from the archaeological dig and Zhang Wei had be their workgroup instructor.
In other words, he couldnt avoid contact with Zhang Wei in future. Moreover, if Zhang Wei wanted revenge, she could cause him to fail.
Lin Jiang was quite annoyed and went to sleep without a word.
He woke upte at night. Opening his eyes, he felt for his phone to turn it on. A couple of strange messages appeared on the screen. [Lin Jiang, Ive discovered something interesting.]
[Its about your parents.]
Chapter 106 - Side Story 16 – Part Without Any Hard Feelings (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 106 - Side Story 16 C Part Without Any Hard Feelings (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Lin Jiang and Zhang Wei made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop.
The two of them sat facing each other, the woman exuding the beauty of confidence and grace while the youth was nd, his fingers intertwining uneasily under the table. What do you want to drink? Zhang Wei smiled.
Theres no need. If you have anything to say, just say it. Lin Jiang raised his head to look directly at her.
It seems that my junior is very hostile towards me. Zhang Wei said casually.
As she spoke, she stirred her coffee. Finally, she put the porcin spoon down and took a sip.
Four months ago, your parents were suspected of illegal moneyundering and they absconded by leaving the country. This matter is all over, right? Zhang Wei looked at Lin Jiang pitifully. What a foolish child, daring to trust Gu Ming Ren, that wolf, with his heart.
Do you know why this matter isnt over?
Zhang Wei took out some photos from her bag and threw them to him. They were all transfers for business transactions.
Because your parents are taking the me for someone else. By being afraid of getting arrested for a crime and absconding just proves their guilt. At the same time, no one could be found to confirm who was responsible for the crime.
When Lin Jiang heard this, he felt cold sweat on his back. He looked at each photo in his hands and shivered uncontrobly. Actually, it wasnt his parents who did it so they shouldnt have run.
So who gave the information to your parents?
While Zhang Wei was throwing this question out, Lin Jiangs heart felt like it had exploded, his fleshcerated with fresh blood flowing.
It was Gu Ming Ren. His face was pale.
Lin Jiang could still remember that day clearly. Gu Ming Ren had said lightly, I was the one who notified your parents, gave them a sum of money and sent them away.
Why did he do that? Lin Jiang felt that there was no reason to. They were his parents. Since he liked him so much, how could he...
Of course its because of you. Zhang Wei said wittily, an expression of pity appearing on her face.
Because of me Lin Jiang remembered. It was at that time when Gu Ming Ren had reached out to him. Do you need help? I can help you.
There was a roaring in his brain and he felt stunned. So from the beginning, it was to draw him in?
Then what did the rtionship between them count as all this time?
Where are my parents now? Lin Jiang seemed to think of something and asked impatiently.
Zhang Wei had both arms across her chest, in a noments stance. I dont know about that. I didnt send them away. The unspoken implication was that he should look for whoever had sent them away. But he had previously asked Gu Ming Ren who said that he wasnt the one who bought the air tickets.
Then who bought the air tickets? Did he lie to him about everything?
The information was too much and too mixed up for Lin Jiang to recover from it. He picked up the in water from the table and took a gulp.
Anything else you need to say? he said with a hoarse voice, looking weak and helpless.
Zhang Wei couldnt bear to see him like this but she needed to let him know that the world was cruel and feelings didnt count.
Recently, Xiao Ming Ren has been in the hospital looking after his mother. You should know about this, right?
Zhang Wei nced at Lin Jiang and saw him nod, then continued, Do you know why his mother was admitted to the hospital?
Gu Ming Ren didnt tell him the specific reason and only said that she was unwell.
Lin Jiang shook his head nkly. At this, he realised that he didnt know anything. Like a fool, he had been yed with.
It was because she wants to have another baby for the Gu family. But Auntie Li is prone to bleeding. When she gave birth to Xiao Ming Ren, she almost died of blood loss. Therefore, after so many years, although Uncle Gu and Auntie Li have a good rtionship, they never thought of having another child. Now, because of you, a middle-aged woman is taking on double the risks to get pregnant. Do you think thats right? Lin Jiang.
Zhang Weis tone was void of sarcasm. Instead, it had an admonishing tone which was more persuasive than a threat.
Lin Jiangs elbows were propped on the table, his palms covering his face.
He had known long ago that they couldnt be together for long and now, he had finally reached the end.
Break up and Ill give you some money. Zhang Wei took out a cheque and wrote down a number. You can go to the capital to look for your friend and maybe you can find your parents through him. After all, hes now an outstanding person and well-connected.
The cheque was pushed in front of Lin Jiang one million.
His feelings were worth one million.
Lin Jiangughed and even his canine teeth were full of bitterness. He reached out epting Zhang Weis cheque and stood up. Okay, Ill break up with him.
Zhang Weis red lips curved and her expression was cynical. As expected, there was nothing that money couldnt solve.
It seemed that no matter how strong the feelings between two people, the result was that it weakened until copsing at the first blow.
After taking two steps, Lin Jiang turned back and asked Zhang Wei, Why exactly are you doing this?
What was the purpose of deliberately breaking them up?
Zhang Weis hand froze in the midst of picking up her coffee, then returned to normal. Her smile was like a flower. No reason. I just wanted to see if the two of you really love each other so much. In the end, it was such a pity.
Lin Jiangughed. Is that right?
Was it a pity? He didnt know.
Lin Jiang left the coffee shop. The wind was strong today and made him cold all over. He tugged his coat close.
Sitting on the bus, Lin Jiang bent his head and send a message to Gu Ming Ren: Zhang Wei said that my parents were framed.
After sending the message, he kept the phone and waited for an exnation.
At the other end, Li Yan had already woken up and the matter of her secretly taking ovtion injections had been revealed. She didnt really dare to face Gu Wen Tian and kept her head lowered to avoid his eyes.
Gu Wen Tian sat beside the bed holding Li Yans hand and couldnt stop his heart from aching. How could you be so foolish and not discuss such a thing with me?
Li Yan lowered her eyes and asked in a soft voice, Wheres baby? Dont me him. He didnt know.
It was just that her body wasnt cooperative and reacted badly to the ovtion injections.
Youre still protecting him. Look what hes done! I wont allow you to have another one. Its too dangerous! He could do without a son but he had to keep his wife!
Gu Wen Tian stroked Li Yans face. Her face used to be smooth and delicate but now, it had aged a lot. The culprit was that bad-hearted son. Li Yan persevered, Let me try again? If it doesnt work, then Ill give up. Gu Wen Tian disagreed and said coldly, No way!
After so many years of marriage, this was the first time he was saying no to Li Yan. Normally, he was used to saying okay and yes.
Li Yan was also angry. I want to give birth! If you dont have a baby with me, Ill look for someone else!
Gu Wen Tian was shocked and hugged her. Nonsense! You can only have a baby with me! Okay, dont be angry, wife. You know Im doing this for you. If theres really no other way, then let that brat look for a surrogate. Youre not allowed to take any more risks, okay?
Gu Wen Tian was afraid of his wife. The moment Li Yan got angry, he became a coward.
Li Yan felt that this was a possibility. With a surrogate, the child would also be considered as being from the Gu family. She finally rxed a little, thinking that her baby would surely be happy.
Her appetite returned a little and she ordered Gu Wen Tian out to buy some porridge.
Taking advantage of this, Gu Ming Ren slipped in.
He had been sitting outside the ward for a day and a night. Some stubble had grown out near his mouth and he looked dejected, making Li Yans heart ache.
Whats wrong baby? Did your father me you?!
Gu Ming Ren shook his head and opened his mouth, wanting to shout at her, but not a sound came out.
Li Yan waved to him, motioning for him to sit beside her. Im okay. Dont worry.
Just now, your father has given in and said that you can look for a surrogate in future. Now, IVF technology is very advanced, so there wouldnt be any problems.
When Li Yan finished speaking, she thought that her son would be very happy, but found that his lips were tightly pursed and he was looking at her without a word.
What is it? Li Yan asked with concern.
Gu Ming Ren forced out a smile and said nothing.
As long as Li Yan was looking at her son, she felt a sweetness in her heart. You dont have to worry. Just get along with him first and also, give your father some time to ept it. He was hit too hard. The two of you need to understand each other and dont quarrel, okay?
Li Yan didnt have any big dreams. From young, she had hoped to get married to Gu Wen Tian and be a good wife by supporting her husband and raising a child.
Family happiness and harmony was her biggest wish.
Just as Gu Ming Ren nodded, Gu Wen Tian returned with two portions of porridge and egg dumplings.
Seeing that Gu Ming Ren had upied his seat, his expression was very unhappy and he walked over immediately. Gu Ming Ren tactfully gave way and stepped aside. Li Yan said with a smile, Give this portion to baby. Gu Wen Tian was silent. This portion is mine. That brat shouldnt be eating! He doesnt deserve it.
Li Yan red at him. I cant finish one portion by myself. You can share with me.
The husband was a penny-pincher and had deliberately bought only two portions to distinguish the boundaries clearly with his son. Li Yan knew this but was soft-hearted and couldnt bear it. She urged Gu Wen Tian to go over quickly.
Gu Wen Tian put the porridge in front of the brat unwillingly. Without saying a word, he turned and went to Li Yan.
It was considered a reluctant family meal.
Gu Ming Ren spent the night in the hospital. He didnt sleep the night before and was very tired, falling asleep quickly.
It wasnt until the next day that he saw Lin Jiangs message.
Gu Ming Ren was stunned and his heart filled with panic. He replied anxiously: No.
Your parents were not framed.
He couldnt say that to Lin Jiang and deleted each word.
Gu Ming Ren closed his eyes warily and chose to go back to school.
Right then, many sses had just finished at University A and the main road was full of students. Gu Ming Ren still managed to spot Lin Jiang in the crowd with a nce. He and his roommate had their arms around each other and he was smiling brightly.
Gu Ming Ren had a sullen expression on his face and he felt that this scene was an eyesore.
When Lin Jiang saw him, he stopped and said to Hao Meng, You can go back first. Hao Meng was scared to death by school grass Gus piercing eyes and ran away.
Back? Is your mother feeling better? Lin Jiang walked up and asked in his usual tone.
Gu Ming Ren hummed and his eyes were fixed on him, wanting to say something but stopped.
Lin Jiang hung his head and waited for a moment. Not receiving any proper exnation, he was saddened and said, The words that youre not saying, let me say them. Lets break up and part without any hard feelings.
He didnt want to bicker about his parents with the other boy. In fact, he didnt care about it. He was now an ordinary person, whereas the other boy was still the son of a powerful family.
What could he do?
Lets end here, regardless of who its for.
Chapter 107 - Side Story 17 – Im Leaving You Now (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 107 - Side Story 17 C Im Leaving You Now (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
When he finished speaking, he wanted to leave but Gu Ming Ren tugged firmly at his arm. You dare to say that again!
Gu Ming Rens eyes reddened and his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand, so painful that he couldnt breathe. Previously they had agreed not to break up if they werent drained. It looked like he owed the son of a bitch a lesson.
His rage made his brain muddled and he held the other boys mouth forcefully, ignoring Lin Jiangs resistance as well as the turbulent crowd while wantonly and fiercely kissing him in a punishing and bitter manner.
Why must he leave him? Why couldnt he wait a little longer?
Damn...you... Lin Jiangs arm was held behind his back. He could have attacked his weakest spot with a knee but was afraid that he would hurt Xiao Ming Ren.
So, he could only wait for a chance to bite his prating tongue. His sharp canine teeth pierced the tender flesh and filled both their mouths with the smell of blood.
Gu Ming Ren closed his eyes. This feeling was too familiar the other boys unwillingness, disgust and scenes of rejection from high school flooded his mind. He almost copsed and lost his mind, forcefully pulling Lin Jiang out of the school after parting from his lips.
So shocked that their mouths almost fell to the ground, the onlookers automatically gave way to them, each one dumbfounded and excited at the same time. What kind of overbearing school grass forced love plot was this!
Let go, fucking let me go! Lin Jiangs entire body was resisting and he was being extremely uncooperative by nting his feet firmly on the ground.
The look in Gu Ming Rens eyes was fierce and he turned around to threaten him, You want to try and struggle again? I dont mind carrying you out! More and more people were gathering to watch and Lin Jiang couldnt afford the shame. After weighing his options, he chickened out and went with him.
Where the hell are you bringing me?! Lin Jiang said in agitation, after exiting the school gate.
Why was he treating him like this? Lin Jiang felt aggrieved and his nose ached.
In any case, they had once loved, so why did he have to make it so difficult?
To get a room of course, Gu Ming Ren sneered. Have you forgotten your own words? To not break up with me until youve drained me.
He suddenly turned and stared at Lin Jiang with reddened eyes. Ill give you that opportunity today.
Maybe it was because the other boys expression was too terrifying, but Lin Jiang was really afraid. He swallowed his saliva and felt that if he let the other boy have his way right now, his bottom was bound to burst open.
I wont do it! He was about to run when Gu Ming Ren grabbed his cor.
Its not up to you.
This was the third time the two of them were at this hotel and they were familiar with the route. Lin Jiang was thrown into the room, his entire body trembling.
That pitiful and helpless appearance made Gu Ming Renes to his senses. Dont be afraid of me. How much time had he spent to allow the other boy to ept him? Now overnight, they had returned to before the liberation?
Lin Jiang, dont break up with me, okay? Give me a little more time and Ill protect you. Gu Ming Rens palm was wrapped around Lin Jiangs thin shoulder and his tone was almost pleading.
He felt that he was already very humbly begging the other boy to stay, but Lin Jiang did not hesitate to turn his face away and say, Then tell me where my parents are.
I really dont know where your parents are! Why dont you believe me? Gu Ming Rens patience seemed to havee to an end and his tone suddenly rose.
Believe you? You dont even want to tell me where my parents are. How can I believe you?! Lin Jiang pushed away his shackles. You say that you dont know, but you were the one who sent them away. If you dont know, then who does?! Or you simply dont want them toe back so that Ill be helpless, only relying on you and falling in love with you!
After saying this, Lin Jiang stopped and his chest heaved violently. He inhaled in arge mouthful of air, then looked at Gu Ming Ren and said slowly, Im leaving you now.
You dare! Gu Ming Ren grabbed his wrists and with a violent swing, Lin Jiang was flung onto the bed.
His method was firm but Lin Jiangs bones were hard. Wasnt it just doing it? Fine, one round of break-up sex.
Clothes were quickly stripped off and Lin Jiang was pressed down under him. No matter how the other boy abused him, Lin Jiang clenched his teeth firmly and let the other boy brutally vent his emotions.
The room was very quiet. Neither of them spoke and it was like as if they werepeting inwardly, leaving only the sounds of hurried intercourse.
Why arent you begging me? Gu Ming Ren couldnt stand it. He knew that he was hurting the other boy and wanted to hear Lin Jiang say some kind words. But he was unwilling to beg him and would rather bite the pillow into shreds than give in.
Why was he feeling more pain than the other boy? He was numb with pain, in so much pain that his eyes were burning and he couldnt help but stop to kiss him.
If youre done, then get out. Lin Jiangs teary eyes were hazy but it couldnt hide the resolute look in them. Theughter and fervent look in his eyes from before werepletely gone.
I wouldnt break up with you. Gu Ming Ren hugged him and cleaned him up. His actions were extremely gentle and entirely different from his earlier ferocity on the bed.
Lin Jiang closed his eyes and relished the final time he would feel the other boys care. Just that this round of sex really broke any remaining friendship between them.
He was tired. This was it.
Lin Jiang carried out a one-sided breakup and dragged his tired body back to the dormitory. He had a high fever that night.
Hao Meng heard him murmuring in the middle of the night and got up to discover that the other boy was scalding hot all over. He immediately wanted to carry him to the hospital but Lin Jiang refused. He said in a weak voice, Theres no need. Help me buy some medicine please.
After exining the situation to the dormitory auntie, Hao Meng hurried out to buy the medicine. Fortunately, although he didnt personally hear of the situation, he had enough experience to know what had happened. He quietly exined to the doctor that it could have been due to improper handling after the deed or that it could have been too intense.
The doctor looked at him, then carefully prescribed the medicine while he advised, Eat lightly these few days.
Hao Meng acknowledged positively and quickly rushed back to the dormitory.
Lin Jiang was lying in bed with a pale face and his back drenched in sweat. He was wrapped in his quilt feeling both hot and cold.
Hao Meng came back promptly. He poured him a ss of water and gave it to him with fever medication. When the other boy fell asleep, he was relieved.
He took out his phone and sent Gu Ming Ren a message.
Chapter 108 - Side Story 18 – Breaking Up is Impossible (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 108 - Side Story 18 C Breaking Up is Impossible (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
The next day, it was already noon when Lin Jiang woke up feeling faint with a blurry vision. He realised that he wasnt in his dormitory but in Gu Ming Rens house.
He propped his body up and got out of bed. Opening his mouth, he realised that his throat was dry and he couldnt make a sound.
There was a ss of warm water beside the bed. Lin Jiang picked it up and drained it. After he walked out, he heard Gu Ming Ren on the phone. Yes, surname is Lin. Please help me to check.
Gu Ming Ren hung up the phone and turned to see the pale, thin youth standing upright. An overwhelming sense of guilt rushed over him. His gaze fell onto Lin Jiangs bare feet. He frowned, walking over to pick him up and put him on the sofa. Why didnt you wear any shoes?
His tone was loving like before, making Lin Jiangs eyes red and he lowered his head, not looking at him.
Weve already broken up. In a hoarse voice, he reminded Gu Ming Ren and also himself.
As the weather had be colder, the slippers in his home had been changed to padded ones and Gu Ming Ren had prepared a pair for Lin Jiang as usual. He patiently helped the boy put them on, then smiled and said, I didnt agree.
I dont need your consent. Lin Jiang said coldly.
Gu Ming Ren didnt want to continue this subject. He paused for a moment, wanting to check the temperature on Lin Jiangs forehead. Just as he lifted his hand, Lin Jiang moved to avoid his touch.
Gu Ming Ren froze and withdrew his stiff hand, saying warmly, The doctor came to check on you this morning. It was my fault, not having any qualms about how you felt. It doesnt matter if you dont forgive me but breaking up is impossible.
Lin Jiang acted like he had heard some big joke and snorted, So now, I dont even have the right to break up with you. Im doomed to be bound to Gu Shao, right?
Gu Ming Ren pursed his lips and as if he didnt hear Lin Jiang speak, he got up and walked away.
Li Yan was being discharged from the hospital today and he had to go home no matter what.
Before Gu Ming Ren left, he arranged everything. The rice was steaming in an electric rice cooker. Three dishes and a soup just needed some warming before they could be eaten. He had even prepared the water that Lin Jiang would need for his medicine and wrote a note to remind him to call if needed.
Im going out for a while. Gu Ming Ren stood by the bedside and informed him softly. Lin Jiang was napping with his back to him and said nothing.
Today, the Gu family home was more lively than normal. Since Li Yan had been discharged from the hospital, her good friend came to visit her. Naturally, Zhang Wei went as well and was currently enjoying the flowers from beside the flowerbed. Gu Ming Ren had been worried that he didnt have time to settle the score with her and hadnt expected her to deliver herself to him.
He strode towards Zhang Wei who turned and gave him a smile, then said, Xiao Ming Ren, do you think this rose looks nice? Gu Ming Ren gripped her forearm and lifted it up. What did you tell Lin Jiang?!
He had a nasty tone and his fingers were quietly forceful, wishing that he could kill the woman in front of him.
Zhang Weis beautiful face became distorted in an instant. She struggled twice but failed. Enduring the pain, she said, What are you afraid of? Why would you be afraid of me if you didnt do anything wrong?
Zhang Wei tugged at her arm and Gu Ming Ren suddenly released her. She was unstable and fell into the rosebed.
Zhang Wei was very unsightly after falling, her entire body covered with mud and even her palms had several scratches on them. She screamed out involuntarily and many servants hurriedly ran over to help her.
Who dares to help her! Gu Ming Ren voiced out to stop them.
He seldom got angry at home so all the servants were stunned at that moment. After recovering, they looked helplessly at Zhang Wei, then returned to their original posts.
They still knew who they should listen to.
Baby, what are you doing! Li Yan came running out in a hurry and ordered the servants to help Zhang Wei up.
Whats the matter with you? Youre a man, how could you do this to Wei Wei?! Li Yan loved her son but she didnt conceal his mistakes. Moreover, her good friend was present today. By doing this, Gu Ming Ren was pping her in the face.
Initially, she had asked her good friend for help to persuade Zhang Wei to pretend she was Gu Ming Rens fiance. Although her intention was to make a match, if the two of them didnt get together in the end, then so be it. Was there a need for such a big fight?
Are you all right, Wei Wei? Li Yan asked with concern.
Zhang Wei clenched her teeth and forced a smile. Its okay, Auntie Li. I fell down identally. Gu Ming Ren sneered. Heard that? She fell down by ident. With that, he pulled Li Yan with him and walked away. Li Yan had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to attend to her.
When the mother and son pair returned to the room, Li Yan gravely asked Gu Ming Ren what was going on.
That woman is not as simple as you think.
After summarising what happened with Lin Jiang, Li Yan sighed regretfully. Wei Wei has been hurt before. That man dumped her again and again, even cheating her of all her money. From then on, Wei Wei stopped dating. Her temperament became strange, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Li Yan felt that it was not a matter of personality but rather a psychological disorder that she couldnt ovee.
But she still shouldnt have...
Li Yan stopped there and didnt continue talking. In her heart, she had some hopeful expectations, for example, if her sons rtionship ended, would he be disappointed with men and turn to women?
How is that child? Li Yan inquired quietly.
Gu Ming Ren had a headache when he thought of Lin Jiang and he frowned. Ill deal with it.
Chapter 109 - Side Story 19 – Not Going to Compete with You for a Seme (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 109 - Side Story 19 C Not Going to Compete with You for a Seme (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
At home, he was preupied and concerned about Lin Jiangs health, not knowing whether or not he had taken his medicine.
Gu Ming Ren wanted to call but was afraid that would cause Lin Jiang to be fed up. His eyes dimmed and he kept his phone.
After dinner, he bade farewell to Li Yan and rushed off in his car.
But when Gu Ming Ren reached his apartment, he found that Lin Jiangs shoes were gone from the entrance. His heart sped up and he quickly walked to the room, pushing open the unlocked door. It was empty.
Gu Ming Ren stared nkly for a moment, then walked over to feel the bed, checking for the level of warmth. It was already cool, showing that Lin Jiang had left not long after him.
He sat by the bed for a short while, sending Hao Meng a message: Has Lin Jiang returned to school?
Fortunately, he had exchanged numbers with Hao Meng previously.
Hao Meng responded quickly: Hes back, sleeping now.
He quickly nced at the person on the top bunk while typing: Lin Jiang said he has broken up with you and told me not to contact you in future.
Gu Ming Ren exined immediately: No, hes angry with me. If anything happens, please let me know as soon as possible.
Hao Meng felt that it was a possible exnation. Gu Ming Ren was handsome and rich. He should also be great in that aspect, or he wouldnt have caused Lin Jiang to get sick. Such a partner was difficult to find, even with antern. How could he have broken up with him!
He replied eagerly: Okay.
At this, Gu Ming Ren felt relieved and took off his sses to rub at the bridge of his nose. He leaned back andy t on the bed on which seemed to linger the smell of Lin Jiang. Gu Ming Ren inhaled and pretended that the other boy was still beside him.
It was difficult to resolve the matter regarding the Lin groups husband and wife. Since they had absconded from the country, they would not have left clues for anyone to track them down. As for shouldering the me as mentioned by Zhang Wei, it was initially the higher-ups that wereundering money. It had switched a few hands before the Lin group had been borrowed as a cover. The Lin groups husband and wife had signed a contract. Once something happened, they would have to be held responsible.
High risks broughtrge rewards. Suddenrge profits went to the heads of people who would always take chances, thinking that they could avoid any consequences until disaster struck, then they regretted it.
But Gu Ming Ren couldnt tell Lin Jiang the truth. For one, he was afraid that Lin Jiang would act impulsively and make a big fuss. Secondly, the fewer people who knew about this, the better. Even he couldnt figure out who the higher-ups were. There were always people who knew everything. Business owners couldntpete with officials. This was something that Gu Wen Tian often said.
Therefore, this matter would need toe to an end here. He had disclosed the information to Lin Jiangs parents and that was already wrong. He had taken a risk and could not continue.
Gu Ming Ren was more intelligent than his peers and also more meticulous. However, he was still only neen years old and his ability was limited. He had already done his utmost to help Lin Jiang.
But the other boy didnt trust him at all and wanted to break up with him at just some words from others.
Gu Ming Ren was bitterly disappointed and had considered just letting it go. But he couldnt forget about when the two of them were together Lin Jiangs obedience and how he felt when he saw his behaviour. In order to have such a partner, he was willing to bear the pressure from his family. Even though this pressure made him suffer a lot, he felt that he could get through it as long as Lin Jiang was by his side.
He had tried to speed up the process but was still abandoned halfway.
Who could he me?
He could only me himself for being pathetic, me the Gu family genes after falling in love with one person, there could be no one else in this lifetime.
After Lin Jiang recovered, he resumed his normal life. He kept five thousand yuan in his card and returned the rest to Gu Ming Ren to show that he was drawing a line.
Gu Ming Ren didnt say anything. When he had to go to ss, he did. When he had to look for him, he did. It was like as if the two of them had never broken up.
During moral education ss, Lin Jiang deliberately sat at the side to avoid Gu Ming Ren and being harassed by him.
Hao Meng poked Lin Jiangs arm. You havent made up with school grass Gu yet?
It had already been so long and they were still at odds.
Shut up, you. Lin Jiang rolled his eyes and couldnt be bothered with him.
He had already exined a hundred times that he had broken up with Gu Ming Ren! However, the other boy didnt believe him and insisted that he was acting up. He didnt know what kind magical potion Gu Ming Ren had given him to brainwash him.
If you act like this, youll regret it. Hao Meng felt that Lin Jiang was really wasteful and didnt cherish such a good seme. On the other hand, he, who was such an understanding, adorable and exceptional uke, was of no interest to anyone. He could only dpress at night with one G of video, which he was about to finish watching and nned to make another G.
When Gu Ming Ren came in, he caught sight of Lin Jiang in a nce. Seeing people on all three sides of him, there was a glimmer of disappointment in his eyes.
But very quickly, his lips lifted and he walked over to him. For you.
Gu Ming Ren put the hot milk tea on Lin Jiangs table. Lin Jiang rejected it expressionlessly. I dont want it.
There were two cups of milk tea and Hao Meng quickly guessed that he had a share. He immediately used both hands to grab them. I want!
Gu Ming Ren was smiling. Because he had taken on a sophomores curriculum, his time was tight. At the same time, Lin Jiang was cold and distant towards him, so he had be thinner making his silhouette look more pronounced. When he smiled, he could pass as being tender, but when he didnt, he looked so serious it was scary.
After witnessing the situation of Gu Ming Rens fiance, the students from the finance major saw the domineering school grasss forced love CP and gradually lost the direction of the wind. They thought that the forced love CP was unwinding but it now seemed like it hadnt? After school grass Gu became the viin, he was indifferent to everyone and only greeted Lin Jiang with a smile. It was sweet thinking about it.
Gu Ming Ren found another ce to sit. He yawned and slumped onto the table to rest.
Hao Meng drank the milk tea happily and pondered, I think that school grass Gu is really good. Lin Jiang, if you dont want him, can you give him to me?
Lin Jiang looked at him like he had seen a ghost. Have you been so lonely that youve be crazy?!
Hao Meng touched his red ear and said without restraint, A little bit.
Winter wasing and he had to find someone to warm the bed. But recently, there were no number ones that had caught his eye. Thest one had been First-Year New Student. Speaking of which, ever since he was cheated by First-Year New Student, he had not logged into that app. Hao Meng thought he should log on to have a look again maybe there would be new people around.
As soon as the page was opened, his phone sounded with several private messages.
Hao Meng was surprised. He found that First-Year New Student had apologised to him a month ago! He said that the group of friends had been beaten up, and even sent him a photo of their bruised faces.
Hao Meng was a little excited but was afraid as well and showed his phone to Lin Jiang.
After reading it, Lin Jiang arched an eyebrow at him. Didnt you just say that you wanted to pick up Gu Ming Ren? Hao Meng immediately reneged on his words. How could it be! Im not going topete with you for a seme!
Lin Jiang smacked him on the back of his head. Bullshit, Ive already broken up with him long ago! Hao Meng could see it clearly. That was your one-sided breakup, so it doesnt count. Lin Jiang: ...
He was starting to doubt life. Did a one-sided breakup not count?
Chapter 110 - Side Story 20 – Life was Full of Surprises (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 110 - Side Story 20 C Life was Full of Surprises (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Hao Meng hugged his phone and felt so light that he was about to fly.
Thest message that First-Year New Student had sent: Can I treat you to a meal to make amends? 135XXXX0624
Thest four digits of this phone number happened to be his birthday. This damned fate. Hao Meng put his head on the table andughed, his shoulders shaking until Lin Jiang couldnt stand the sight.
Do you have to go to that extent? Lin Jiangughed at him.
Hao Meng wanted to say, of course. It was like fireworks going off in his heart and it felt so wonderful and sweet to be invited by someone he liked.
Stowing away his sprouting heart, he carefully replied to First-Year New Student: Okay! Can I bring a friend?!
He didnt dare to go alone again, afraid that he would run into something bad.
Hao Meng put away his phone after replying. After all, the other boy had sent those messages a month ago and he didnt know if they still counted now.
His phone sounded with a notification very quickly. Hao Mengs heart sped up and he tapped open the private message. It really was from First-Year New Student: Yes. You havent been online for very long. There was a subject cleverly added on behind and the two of them started chatting enthusiastically.
Subconsciously, Lin Jiang looked over at Gu Ming Ren. His seat was facing the window where the cold wind was blowing in, causing the pages of his book to p and his hair to rise and fall.
Lin Jiang frowned and grumbled to himself. It wasnt like there werent other seats. Why did he have to choose such a cold one?
That was really stupid.
He couldnt help cursing and withdrew his gaze. Out of sight, out of mind.
After the lesson, the number of students in the ss had lessened gradually. Hao Meng should have rushed to the canteen to eat immediately but instead, he was staring at his phone and smiling like an idiot, probably because he had one foot inside the pit of love.
Lin Jiang tutted twice and turned his head to look at Gu Ming Ren. Seeing that he had not yet woken up, Lin Jiang hesitated, then walked over wanting to close the window. In the end, the moment his hand touched the edge of the window, Gu Ming Ren woke up. As soon as his eyes opened, he saw Lin Jiang and smiled.
Lin Jiang had been caught in the act. He was flustered and forced himself to calm down. Suddenly, he had an idea and after closing the window, he gave Hao Meng a tongueshing, Youre so unreasonable. Is it that cold?! And you had to insist that I close the window for you.
Hao Meng lifted his head, confused. Huh?
To avoid revealing the truth, Lin Jiang quickly dragged him away. Huh what?! Dont you need to eat?! Hao Mengs eyes brightened. Oh, eat. First-Year said that hell treat me to a meal. Can you go with me?
Lin Jiang thought to himself, Im not going to be the third wheel. He caught sight of Gu Ming Ren catching up to him and his mouth automatically agreed, Okay, lets go.
Hao Meng was delighted and about to rush off to the appointment when Gu Ming Ren stopped him. Is it convenient to take me with you?
It was rare that he had no sses in the afternoon and he wanted to stay with Lin Jiang. That handsome face had an expression of sincere request on it and was something that no human could bear to reject. Apparently, Lin Jiang wasnt human and he said immediately, Its not convenient. Hao Meng looked at him strangely. Why isnt it convenient? Four people make two pairs!
Lin Jiangs face darkened and he wanted to kill him with a hammer.
He whispered in Hao Mengs ear, Arent you afraid that First-Year will be interested in Gu Ming Ren?
Hao Meng knew what he meant andughed slyly. Im more afraid that First-Year will be interested in you, so bringing school grass Gu along will be just right!
What a joke. What could be the result of two number ones? He was most afraid that First-Year would be interested in Lin Jiang. That really wasnt worth the loss. Now with Gu Ming Ren, it was perfect.
Lin Jiang had nothing to say and shut his mouth.
Gu Ming Ren walked beside him. Lin Jiang was a little uneasy and tried his best to avoid touching the other boy.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Hao Meng recognised First-Year in a nce. He walked over nervously with stars in his eyes.
First-Year was still wearing his school uniform and looked like a high school student. He looked like he was about 180cm in height and actually quite tall, butpared to Hao Meng, it wasnt enough.
The two of them greeted each other. Although First-Year had already psychologically prepared himself beforehand, he still felt pressured when seeing how tall the other boy was in person.
Lin Che?! Lin Jiang called out tentatively when he found him familiar the more he looked at him.
Lin Che looked at him nkly, then recognised him. Tang Ge?!
Life was full of surprises. Lin Jiang pressed against the table and questioned him, Why are you here?! No, how did you get to City A? This First-Year happened to be from the family that was doing well in the north and was his fathers brothers son, in other words, his Tang Di.
Lin Che said, Its because of you. After Uncle and Auntie ran away, my father was worried that nobody was looking after you and our whole family moved to City A. In the end, you changed your phone number and unexpectedly, we couldnt find you.
So that was what happened.
Lin Jiang was pleasantly surprised and wanted to have a deeper conversation with his Tang Di but he didnt expect his Tang Di to forget about him once he had a wife. Seeing Hao Mengs miserable expression, Lin Che took out his phone and quickly resolved the matter by saying, Leave me your number. Ill contact youter.
He couldnt make it too obvious that he was trying to brush him off.
Gu Ming Ren frowned at him. Lin Che noticed the hostile gaze and said to Lin Jiang, Tang Ge, is this your partner? Lin Jiang was about to say no when Gu Ming Ren quickly took his hand and held it tightly. Yes. Lin Ches eyebrows arched. Oh, no wonder we couldnt find you.
Chapter 111 - Side Story 21 – “Acknowledge the Elders” (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 111 - Side Story 21 C Acknowledge the Elders (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Lin Jiang and Gu Ming Ren were driven out.
Recently, it was bing colder. Compared to the warmth of the restaurant, it was freezing outside. While shivering, Lin Jiang wished he could duck his entire head into his sweater.
How heartless. What would happen if my Tang Di and roommate get together in the future? Lin Jiang was a little distressed for Hao Meng, knowing that Lin Che was a two-faced schemer.
When they met for the first time as children, Lin Che lied about his age and smilingly made Lin Jiang called him Tang Ge for over a year. It wasnt until the elders heard, that the way they addressed each other was corrected. At the time, Lin Jiang was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves to fight with the other boy, but he lost the fight in the end. It was really miserable and distressful.
Why? Would they bully you? Gu Ming Ren walked nearer to him and helped to zip up Lin Jiangs open coat.
Before Lin Jiang could refuse, the other boy had already done it with familiarity. Gu Ming Ren smiled at him. His words and actions were restrained and he did not go too far. This made Lin Jiang a little annoyed as he was unable to pinpoint any mistakes from the other boy.
Im leaving. He said in a neutral tone. Since he couldnt get the free meal, he nned to go back to the school canteen to eat.
Gu Ming Ren followed good-naturedly. Lets go together.
Lin Jiang suddenly turned to him and said, Is this meaningful to you? Still being entangled with each other even after breaking up?!
His tone was very strong and he had an impatient expression on his face. His chest filled with a burst of evil fire and he wanted to chase him away. What was the point of caring for each other after parting?!
Gu Ming Ren stared into his eyes and in a light voice filled with pain, he said, Why? Why must you break up with me? Were the previous feelings fake? If not, why was he so unaffected, and could break it off at will!
Lin Jiang couldnt meet Gu Ming Rens eyes. He couldnt stand to see the other boys soft-spoken and submissive appearance. He should be superior, aristocratic and iparable to anyone, but now because of him, he had be umunicative and was in an extremely difficult situation with his family.
Lin Jiang turned away coldly. You know why.
Gu Ming Ren held his shoulders with both hands and his voice became emotional. If its because of your parents, Im already searching. Just give me some time. Although this decision was wrong and hope was slim, he would try if Lin Jiang wanted it.
Are you crazy?! My parents absconded because they were afraid of being arrested for a crime and you dare to look for them openly?! Lin Jiang broke away from his restraints with an expression of do you know what youre doing on his face.
Gu Ming Ren was angry as well. Since you already know this, then why do you still want to break up with me?!
Knowing that his parents situation was irreversible, did Lin Jiang still want to sacrifice him?! Was he that unimportant?
Dont stir up trouble for me, Lin Jiang. I miss you so much. Gu Ming Ren lowered his voice and opened his arms to hug the person in front of him.
He had not seen the other boy for some time since he was busy with sses and exams.
He sent messages to Lin Jiang which were not returned. Neither did he answer his calls, almost cutting off all contact with him.
Lin Jiangs face was buried in Gu Ming Rens chest. It was so warm that he didnt push him away and just stood looked distracted. He opened his mouth and said, Even without this matter regarding my parents, do you think we can be together for long?
From the beginning, Lin Jiang never had a long-term intention to be together with the other boy because he knew it was impossible and that the Gu family would never allow him toe out.
As long as you dont leave me, we will. Gu Ming Rens vision was far-reaching and he tightened his embrace around the person in his arms. Even if we dont get married, Ill still stay with you forever.
Once he had his mind set on it, he wouldnt change it.
Lin Jiangs eyes reddened when he heard. Romantic words were always so pleasant to hear but how much of it was true?
He lifted his hand, about to push the other boy away. Gu Ming Ren suddenly lowered his head and said, Just that you never believe me.
Lin Jiang was stunned as this statement hit the crucial point.
He thought of the time when Gu Ming Ren said to him, Lin Jiang, I cant do without you.
But what was the result of not being able to do without him? His card was suspended, there was tremendous pressure and his mother fell sick and got hospitalised.
This was just the beginning and it was as if it was pulling them apart.
Their rtionship was so weak that it copsed at the first blow.
Lin Jiang didnt say anything and decided on sticking to his decision to break up. After all, he had epted the million from Zhang Wei.
When Hao Meng came back, his face was radiant with happiness and bashfulness. Lin Jiang was burrowed in his bed ying a game and paused to nce at him, saying jokingly, How was it? Satisfied with my Tang Di?!
Hao Meng nodded happily, eagerly washed an apple for him, then said shamelessly, Next time, Ill call you Tang Ge like Ah Che!
Lin Jiangs hand trembled. Great, he had lost.
Ah Che? Lin Jiang threw his phone aside and looked at him incredulously. At this type of speed, were the two of you sitting on a rocket?
After one meal, they already had nicknames?
Lin Jiang grabbed the apple from Hao Mengs hand and bit into it, speaking unclearly, Dont me me for not warning you. My Tang Di is very scheming. You had better be careful of being eaten until not even bones are left!
Hao Mengughed shyly with a silly expression on his face while saying, Its okay, as long as he doesnt dislike me.
In fact, he had some inferiorityplex because of his height and in addition to his timidness, it was difficult for him to find a partner. It hadnt been easy for him to find a satisfactory partner so he had to hold on tightly.
Have you forgotten that he lied to you previously? Lin Jiang reminded him again.
Hao Meng exined immediately, Ah Che had made it clear to me that his friends did it without his knowledge. After he found out, he gave them a beating. Didnt you see the photo?
Lin Jiang let out an insincereugh and felt that this big silly man was really simple-minded. He couldnt help asking, Do you believe everything that anyone says?! Hao Meng puffed out his cheeks. Ah Che is not just anyone. Hes the one I like.
Lin Jiang was so startled by his words that he felt goosebumps all over. His eyes were hot and felt that his Tang Dis tastes were really heavy, being able to make a move on someone like this. Suddenly, he didnt know who to sympathize with and what was going on.
Lin Jiangughed. Fine, the other two of them made up a pair and could avoid going around troubling others.
In the evening, Lin Che called him and said he wanted to bring him home to acknowledge the elders.
Lin Jiang agreed. He remembered that among the elders, his second uncle had the best rtionship with his father. If not for the business venture in the north, the two families would have visited each other frequently.
He left the dormitory block and seeing Lin Ches eye-catching sports car parked by the side, he walked over to knock on it. Do you have a drivers licence? Lin Cheproduced his drivers licence self-importantly for him to see.
After verification, Lin Jiang got into the car and criticized silently. Looks like his second uncles business was flourishing since he bought his son such a nice car when he had juste of age. Thinking of his own father, Lin Jiang let out a sigh.
Second Uncle Lin had specially bought back the Lin family house which had been previously sealed off. When the car entered through the familiar main gate, Lin Jiang suddenly realised that he hadnt been back here for half a year.
Lin Che parked the car and threw the keys to him. Its for you.
Second Uncle and Auntie Lin had been waiting in the living room for a long time. After moving to city A and not being able to find him for four months, they never expected their son to find him while pursuing someone.
It made them so happy that they rewarded their son by allowing him to drive once.
Lin Che passed the car and led his Tang Ge into the house. The wolf dad and tiger mom rushed up and crowded him until he had no ce to stand.
Lin Jiang, Im Second Uncle. Why did you change your phone number? How have you been these past months? Have you suffered? Uncle Lin had doted on Lin Jiang since he was young. All the good things were given to him first while his own son had to wait in line.
Lin Che was used to it and unhurriedly put in a word. He has a boyfriend looking after him, so he didnt suffer.
Auntie Lin gave him a p on the back of his head. What nonsense, do you think everyone is like you, pursuing boys all day long?! Absurd. Lin Che hade out to his family at an early age. His parents were both open-minded and didnt have any drastic reactions, readily epting it.
If you dont believe me, you can ask him yourself! Lin Che frowned at hisck of standing at home.
Auntie Lin rolled her eyes at him, then took Lin Jiangs hand and said with a smile, Its good that you didnt suffer. Come, lets eat first and we can talk while we eat.
From the moment Lin Jiang entered, he had not said a word but was already being pulled to sit at the dining table.
Second Uncle, Second Auntie.
Feeling over-enthusiastic, Lin Jiang couldnt resist.
Uncle Lin said happily, This whole table of food has been specially prepared for you by your second auntie. When Lin Che heard this, he put down his chopsticks smilingly.
Lin Jiang couldnt help saying to the woman opposite him, Thank you, Second Auntie.
Auntie Lin had an anxious personality and immediately tutted, This child, why are you acting like an outsider? Were a family. Theres no need to say thanks. Since something happened to your parents, Second Auntie should be taking care of you!
I heard that youre studying at University A now? University A is a good school. Whats your major? Auntie Lin began to ask.
Lin Jiang took a deep breath and replied, Yes, archaeology.
Auntie Lin was silent for a moment. Thats a very specialised field.
Lin Cheughed. He was red at by his tiger mom and immediately quietened, but was still warned, Look at your Tang Ge, University A! Are you able to get in?!
Before Lin Che could say anything, his father pulled at his wifes hand in admonishment. Dont need to ask. Hell get in. Ah Che came in first in his exams a few days ago. Didnt you see his report card?
Auntie Lin was guilty. He always takes first ce without any changes. Whats there to see?
Lin Jiang: ...
To make it up to her son, Auntie Lin gave him a small piece of chicken drumstick. In the blink of an eye, she gave Lin Jiang a big piece of pigs hoof.
Lin Jiang, earlier, Ah Che said that you have a boyfriend too?
The word too was used very subtly. Lin Jiang couldnt help ncing over at his Tang Di, who acted as usual and continued eating.
Lin Jiang paused, then replied, Yes, just broken up. There was nothing to hide and anyway, it couldnt be hidden.
This was obviously not a good topic of conversation and the table fell silent temporarily. Uncle Lin broke the awkwardness by saying invitingly, Eat, lets eat first. When the cordial dinner was over, Lin Jiang was called to the study room alone.
Uncle Lin looked serious. He took out a property deed from the drawer and gave it to him together with a bank card, saying in a deep voice, Lin Jiang, this is what your parents left for you. After buying back the house, the remaining thirty million are in this card. The passcode is your birthdate.
Chapter 112 - Side Story 22 – Insulting Her Son in a Fancy Manner (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 112 - Side Story 22 C Insulting Her Son in a Fancy Manner (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Lin Jiang was stunned, the sudden huge sum of money frightening him.
My parents left that to me? Lin Jiang had some doubts.
When his parents absconded, they didnt even have time to let him know. How could they have left this huge sum of money?
Uncle Lin strode to the window and looked at the warm sunlight outside while continuing to speak pleasantly, Your parents contacted me in March this year. They transferred this sum of money to me and said that it was for your future marriage. At that time, I found it odd that they would leave it with me instead of keeping it themselves.
It wasnt until June that I saw the news of the Lin groups moneyundering and the absconding, and I realised the reason for your parents leaving this sum of money with me.
Unfortunately, I couldnt contact you at the time. Uncle Lin turned to look at Lin Jiang and sighed regretfully while saying, Your father has always been daring since young, always saying that the daring would be full to the point of bursting while the timid would starve to death. Unexpectedly... he had capsized his own ship.
How could he do something illegal?
Uncle Lin was annoyed at himself for not asking more questions at the time. If he had, maybe he could have persuaded them to stop.
Lin Jiang stood dazed and in a trance.
If it happened like this, his parents had known long ago that something would happen to them, so they left his money with Uncle Lin. It also meant that they were not bearing the responsibility for someone else like what Zhang Wei said, and it confirmed the truth of the matter.
Lin Jiangs eyes shed. He had chosen to believe Zhang Weis words and wrongly med Gu Ming Ren.
Seeing that Lin Jiang looked off, Uncle Lin thought that he was sad about being abandoned by his parents and hurriedlyforted him by saying, Lin Jiang, it doesnt matter. From now on, Uncle Lin is your family and youll live your life with me.
Now that it hade to this, he could only help his eldest brother by taking good care of his nephew.
Lin Jiangs face was pale and he went out of the study room preupied.
Lin Che was sitting in the living room watching television while Auntie Lin was pestering him to show her a photo of her new daughter-inw. Dont think I dont know. Hand over the photo of my daughter-inw right now!
Thest time he dated was a month ago. Counting on her fingers, Auntie Lin knew that it was time for her son to have a new boyfriend.
In school, Lin Che was critical and full of himself. When he got home, all his intelligence would be dered worthless and he could only allow his authoritative mother to insult him.
Take a look, take a look! Lin Che threw his phone at her with a bad attitude.
Auntie Lin took the phone happily and opened the picture.
The child looked quite decent, but his height didnt seem right.
Auntie Lin touched her chin and sized Lin Che up with her eyes, then finally said contemtively, Son, I always thought you were a seme and never thought...
Auntie Lin hugged him andmented, Son, does your bottom hurt? Mom will make you turtle soup tonight.
At the end of his patience, Lin Che pushed away his blind queen mother. Mom, can you wake up?!! Be a proper housewife, okay?! Dont read so many BL novels!!!
Auntie Lin had three hobbies: awkward chitchat, reading BL novel and insulting her son in a fancy manner.
You brat, even wanting to manage your moms hobbies?! Auntie Lins expression changed immediately. She pointed to Hao Mengs photo and said threateningly, Believe it or not, Ill ask your husband to deal with you!
Lin Che wanted to cry. What did he do in his previous life to get such a mom?
He stopped watching television and stood up discontentedly. Not forgetting to take his phone, he nned to go back to his room to vent his anger on Hao Meng.
That damned man, daring to look like more of a seme than him!
Lin Jiang went downstairs and brushed past the angry Lin Che. When Uncle Lin saw his sons eyes looking like they were about to shoot fire, he knew that his wife had surely said something insulting.
Auntie Lin behaved quite unreasonably towards her son but treated Lin Jiang quite normally. She immediately smiled and went forward to meet him. Has your second uncle told you? When you have time, lets get the transfer done.
This house had originally belonged to Lin Jiang and his parents money had been used to buy it back. Although they were now living in it, they had to eventually return it and Auntie Lin wanted to get it done soon.
Lin Jiang hurriedly said, Theres no need, Second Aunt. You can live here first. How could he drive them away as soon as he returned?
Auntie Lin tutted and saw through his words. Are you worried that your second uncle and I would not have a ce to stay after moving out? Weve just bought two houses in the city which are fully decorated, one in the European style and the other in a ssic style. Theyre beautiful, so dont worry!
Lin Jiang: ... Excuse me.
It seemed like his second uncles family was really rich.
Then lets wait for a while. I usually live in school anyway. Lin Jiang postponed it, his brain still unable to ept the situation.
At this moment, Uncle Lin interrupted with the attitude of a bigshot, Its okay, just tell me when you have time.
Lin Jiang smiled and nodded, for a moment thinking that it was his own father speaking. The two brothers had always been a bit simr. Before, his father always liked to brag and passed judgement on everything he did. In the end, he gave directions for himself to abscond.
Lin Jiang looked at the time. I should return to school.
Auntie Lin warmly urged him to stay. Why dont you sleep at home today? Its your old room and it has been cleaned. Ah Che previously said that he wanted to stay in your room. I kicked him out.
Lin Jiang didnt know whether tough or cry. He had originally felt a little guilty. Now that he was being teased by his second aunt, the feelings hadpleted dissipated.
No, I have sses tomorrow morning and my roommate is waiting for me.
Auntie Lin expressed regret that her nephew couldnt stay the night. Suddenly, she heard movement from the staircase. Turning, she saw that Lin Che had changed his clothes ande down.
Where are you going? She asked vigntly.
Lin Che had both hands stuffed into his pockets. Im sending Tang Ge back to school.
After speaking, he pulled Lin Jiang away and left. Auntie Lin called out from behind, Be home by ten, do you hear? Tighten that little bottom for me! With a dark expression, Lin Che was about to get into the front passenger seat when Lin Jiang threw the car key back to him. I dont have a drivers licence. His family went bankrupt before he could learn.
All men loved cars. In a slightly better mood, Lin Che drove the beloved sports car towards University A.
Hao Meng had long been waiting below the dormitory for them. He wore a big red scarf today which contrasted with his skin, making him look more lively and full of youthful energy.
Lin Jiang had been wondering why someone would be so nice to send him back. It turned out he was using his name to do something dishonest.
Lin Jiang opened the car door and patted Hao Meng on the shoulder as he passed by and continued on to his dormitory.
The window of their dormitory happened to overlook the sports car downstairs. Lin Jiang was a little upset and wanted to enjoy the breeze. In the end, he saw Lin Che pressing Hao Meng against the car door for a kiss.
Hao Meng acted conservatively and held on tightly to the other boys arms. In consideration of Lin Ches height, he bent his legs in good faith.
Lin Jiang walked away quietly, missing Gu Ming Ren a little.
Chapter 113 - Side Story 23 – Lets Reconcile (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 113 - Side Story 23 C Lets Reconcile (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Some people slept soundly while others found it difficult to sleep throughout the night.
Lin Jiang looked at Hao Meng for the seventh time but the big brother was still dreaming and hadnt woken up.
Lin Jiang turned over and tapped on his phone. He looked at the familiar phone number and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and put it down.
Early the next morning, Hao Meng shook Lin Jiangs bed vigorously while biting on a steamed dumpling.
Lin Jiangs head ached from the shaking and he was about to get angry when the other boy presented him with a bag of hot dumplings, which were especially fragrant in the cold winter.
Lin Jiang looked at the words Tao Yuan Restaurant on the bag and tensed, immediately asking, Who bought it? Hao Meng chewed twice and swallowed what was left of the steamed dumpling, then said, Your seme. After his guess was confirmed, Lin Jiang dropped his eyes and felt someplex emotions.
Where is he? Lin Jiang asked softly.
Hao Meng took a sip of soy milk. Left. He said that you should sleep more.
Hao Meng ate with great delight and couldnt help asking Lin Jiang, Where are these dumplings from? How can they be so delicious?!
Lin Jiang paused for a moment, then immediately turned over and got out of bed. He pulled on a coat, then ran downstairs in a hurry. However, there was a fog and with the whiteness surrounding him, he couldnt see anything clearly.
Lin Jiang was slightly depressed, feeling that he was being unreasonable and stupid.
He returned to his dormitory and ate the dumplings that Gu Ming Ren had sent.
The Tao Yuan Restaurant breakfast was in limited supply and was not only extremely difficult to buy but also had to be ordered in advance.
Now that Lin Jiang thought about it, he felt that something wasnt right. Why did he suddenly buy him breakfast? He had never done this before and had not treated him like this even when the two of them were together.
Hugging his books, Hao Meng called out to him, Lin Jiang, arent you leaving?
They had sses today.
Lin Jiang nodded and went to ss worriedly.
What bothered him even more was that Zhang Wei was in todays ss. This ss wasing to an end which meant that they had to finish up their homework, and Zhang Wei was their workgroup instructor.
Zhang Wei didnt look too good. Her make-up couldnt cover the fatigue well, making her look like a withered rose.
Seeing that she was distracted, Hao Meng asked, Xuejie, you dont seem to be in good spirits. Are you sick?
Zhang Wei gave him a pale smile, then her gaze fell on Lin Jiang and she said lightly, Lin Jiang, Im not feeling well. Could you send me to the clinic?
Hao Meng puffed up his cheeks in unhappiness. He had obviously been the first to ask. Why did she ask Lin Jiang to send her?!
Lin Jiang paused for a moment, then followed Zhang Wei out.
With a palm against her abdomen and her forehead perspiring profusely, Zhang Wei persisted in taking two steps, then stopped, calling out Lin Jiangs name weakly.
Even though Lin Jiang didnt like her, he couldnt avoid getting nervous. Xuejie? Xuejie? Zhang Wei fainted in his arms.
Lin Jiang carried her to the infirmary. With the white curtains drawn, the female doctor examined Zhang Wei. When she came out, her attitude towards Lin Jiang was very bad. Whats the matter with you?! Your girlfriend has just had an abortion and you allowed her to go to ss?!
With an expression of bewilderment, Lin Jiang automatically retorted, Shes not my girlfriend.
After he recovered, his eyes widened and he took the doctors arm. What did you say? Shes pregnant? No, she had an abortion?
Lin Jiang couldnt believe it and sat in his chair in a daze.
He tried to guess whose child Zhang Wei had been pregnant with. Did she have a boyfriend? It seemed like she only had Gu Ming Ren as a fianc.
Lin Jiang rubbed his face and without hesitation, he called Gu Ming Ren.
The call was quickly answered with a joyful voice. Lin Jiang? Lin Jiang replied, Its me. Come to the infirmary. Now?
Yes, now. Gu Ming Ren hesitated for a while. Okay.
Lin Jiang turned off his phone and walked over to see Zhang Wei. The back of her hand was hooked up to an IV. Her long eyshes moved and she opened her eyes.
Zhang Wei looked dazed until she saw Lin Jiang, then she smiled weakly. You know everything?
She didnt tell anyone about it except for Lin Jiang, because she felt that Lin Jiang was a victim like her. They had both been mercilessly cheated by men even though they loved them deeply.
Tears slid down from Zhang Weis eyes. Her dry and wrinkled lips opened and she asked Lin Jiang softly, Why didnt you go to the capital to look for your friend? She knew that Lin Jiang had broken up with Gu Ming Ren. If not, Gu Ming Ren would not have confronted her without any reason that day.
I regret it. Lin Jiang took out the neatly folded cheque from his pocket and returned it to Zhang Wei. I want to reconcile with him. Zhang Wei sneered and her pale face became terrifying. Her eyes were fixed on Lin Jiang. Look at me. This is the result of reconciliation!
Her scum ex hade back to find her, begging on his knees for her to forgive him. In the end? He had slept with her and ran off again. Zhang Wei felt that she had been wise her whole life except for when she fell into that mans hands.
Lin Jiang pursed his lips and didnt reply.
Lin Jiang didnt know when Gu Ming Ren arrived but when he turned, the other boy was already standing behind him, giving him an intense look, with a tremor in his eyes.
You... Lin Jiang didnt know how much the other boy had heard.
Gu Ming Ren withdrew his gaze from him and walked over to Zhang Wei, asking, Whats going on? Zhang Wei threw a nasty tantrum and smashed various things to make them leave. She was proud, so how could she easily allow others to see her in such a predicament.
Zhang Weis mood was extremely unstable and she made a lot of noise. The doctor rushed over to dissuade her and was driven away by her temper. Zhang Wei only stopped acting up when she drained her strength and fainted again.
When this happened, Gu Ming Ren sent her to the hospital and informed her family members.
After Li Yan found out, she rushed over as well. Seeing her son, she advised, Baby, today is your birthday. Youre allowed not toe home, and have a good time. At this, Lin Jiang suddenly realised that today was the other boys birthday.
He lowered his head and stared at his toes, guilt filling his chest and regret making him unable to say a word.
Gu Ming Ren walked up to him and asked in a low voice, Do you still mean what you said earlier? Lin Jiang looked sideways at him. What I said? Gu Ming Ren swallowed. Reconciling with me.
His tone was humble like before and he was just waiting for an answer.
Lin Jiang stared nkly. His chin started trembling uncontrobly and his voice became unsteady. Do you still want me?
Gu Ming Ren said, Yes. No matter how far you go, I will still be waiting for you.
No matter how many mistakes you make, I will always forgive you.
So Lin Jiang, lets reconcile.
Chapter 117 - Side Story 27 – This Was What He Liked (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 117 - Side Story 27 C This Was What He Liked (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Afterpleting his final exam, Gu Ming Ren and Lin Jiang greedily started a life together without any shame.
The two youths were not very restrained, fighting and attacking each other on the bed all day long. Finally, they would only stop after wearing themselves out.
Today, Li Yan came over. Her son had not returned home for a long time so she had toe and have a look. In the end, when she entered, the living room was quiet and not even a figure was in sight.
Looking at the time, it was nearly eleven. Li Yan called out, Baby?
Lin Jiangs ears were sharp. He immediately sprang off the bed and kicked Gu Ming Ren, who was reading a book with earphones on. Seems like your mom is here?
Gu Ming Ren turned off the light music and was silent for a while. Sure enough, he heard Li Yans pondering voice. Dont tell me hes not home?
Lin Jiang dressed quickly. When he thought of being caught in bed by Li Yan thest time, his forehead started sweating and he felt that Li Yan surely did not have a good impression of him.
What are you panicking about? Gu Ming Ren was amused. He looked at Lin Jiang and automatically expressed his love. We are openly dating, not having a secret affair.
After he said that, he got up slowly. Last night, they fell asleep in each others arms and slept happily, so when they woke up this morning, they didnt want to get up and stayed in bed until now.
Li Yan had quickly fumbled her way to the bedroom and heard some distorted voices from inside. Her expression stiffened and she was afraid to see something that she shouldnt. She lifted a hand to knock on the door, not in a hurry to open it, and waited for a while.
At top speed, Lin Jiang went to the bathroom to wash up while Gu Ming Ren went to turn the door handle, his eyes meeting Li Yan. With a gentle expression and a rxed voice, he said, Mom, why did youe over?
Li Yan sniffed and not smelling anything suspicious, she rxed and chided him, You ask why I came over? How long has it been since your vacation started? Even the second son of the He family hase back from the capital. But look at you, in the same city and not returning home.
Li Yans tone was aining one. Her son had forgotten about his mother after getting a wife. She didnt know what kind of charm that boy had to take her babys soul away.
Gu Ming Renughed helplessly and leaning against the door, he exined, I intended to go back today. The main thing was that if he left, Lin Jiang had no one to take care of him. That son of a bitch didnt know how to do anything and was especially dependent on him.
Li Yan poked her head in to look around. Wheres that boy?
Washing up. Gu Ming Ren stretched casually.
Li Yan had not seen her son act like a youth in a very long time. He had always been mature and sensible, and his life was self-disciplined and rigorous. It was rare to see him dwindling in bed like he had been today.
Lin Jiang came out from the bathroom and saw the two of them standing at the door. Embarrassed, he called out, Auntie.
Since young, he had been a mischievous child, so was not liked by his elders, neither was he good atmunicating with them, always feeling that he would screw up.
Gu Ming Ren waved him over and Lin Jiang walked to them uneasily. He heard the other boy say, Chat with my mom for a while, okay?
Lin Jiang subconsciously refused. He really didnt know how to chat with his elders!!!
With fingers tightly clenching Gu Ming Rens clothes, Lin Jiang cast a help look at him, his pupils showing panic and fluster.
Gu Ming Ren probably had some evil intentions. He bent his head to kiss him and saidfortingly with a smile, Its okay, go on.
Li Yan couldnt bear to look but could savour the sweetness from their actions. Youths. Sheughed gently and took the initiative to say, Lin Jiang? Let Ming Ren go and wash up. You can apany Auntie for a chat.
Whether it was in appearance or self-restraint, Li Yans standards were excellent. Lin Jiang thought silently, No wonder Gu Ming Ren was so outstanding. Heredity was really important!
He followed Li Yan out and sat rigidly on the sofa, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for criticism.
Li Yan said with a smile, Dont be nervous. Auntie wont eat you.
Lin Jiang forced a smile but his heart was pounding uncontrobly. This was meeting the parent! Could he not be nervous?!
Li Yan first asked how long they had been together. When did they know each other? Finally, she got to the key point and said with a sigh, You know that the image of a businessman is very important and they arent very receptive to homosexuals, especially Ming Rens father.
Lin Jiang listened silently and nodded from time to time to acknowledge that he understood.
Li Yan could see that the boy had no wild ambitions and wasnt greedy for their familys money and power. It was just that some deeply-rooted issues would not be easily resolved in the short term.
Anyway, since the two of you are together, I cant bear to break you up. Li Yanughed and said teasingly, The people in the Gu family are very devoted but Lin Jiang, I must remind you that it will be inevitable for you to suffer some grievances in the future. You need to be psychologically prepared.
At this point, Lin Jiang didnt understand what grievances she was referring to and only felt that nothing else mattered as long as the two of them were together.
That same day, Gu Ming Ren went home with Li Yan while Lin Jiang went over to Uncle Lins ce for the new year.
Auntie Lin was someone who loved to dress up and make her home red and cheerful.
On Chinese New Years eve, Lin Jiang had a new years eve dinner and received a red packet from Uncle and Auntie Lin. Missing his parents a little, he looked up at the moon through the window.
When his phone sounded, he picked it up. It was He Cheng Ming!
Okay, Ill go over now, Ming Ge! Lin Jiang hung up the phone and took a taxi to the He family home.
He didnt know how the He family had managed to a permit for a fireworks disy but there was going to be arge fireworks event that night and He Yue Jin had invited many friends from the industry to watch. It was very lively at the He family house.
Less than a year after He Mu Sheng took over the He group, thepany became very prosperous. While He Cheng Ming was studying in the capital, he asionally made some investments, resulting in him creating a name for himself. Both young men of the He family were sessful in their careers which brought a lot of pride to He Yue Jin, so he readily acknowledged the rtionship between his younger son and Ji Liao.
The young people showed their love freely right there. Even if the older generation didnt agree, they wouldnt bring it up. Just like how Gu Wen Tian, in between clinking sses with He Cheng Ming, would nce at him holding Li Jiaos hand and smile kindly, doing just enough on the surface to suffice.
The Gu family was here today. The more public the venue, the more Gu Ming Ren was unable to bring Lin Jiang with him, so he could only invite him through He Cheng Ming.
Lin Jiang didnt want a big scene. When his shocked gaze met Li Yans, he automatically avoided her.
He Cheng Ming went over to wee him. The two of them had not seen each other in half a year. A lot of things had happened since then but the other boy didnt ask anything and just patted Lin Jiangs shoulder. Youre here? Stay with Ji Liao first.
Lin Jiang felt that He Cheng Ming was more awesome now and looked at him with worship in his eyes.
Gu Ming Ren walked over quickly and twisted his head towards him. Lin Jiang grinned and called out, Ge. He Cheng Ming tutted. Son of a bitch, you used to only call me Ge.
Lin Jiang was a little ashamed but Gu Ming Ren protected his wife aggressively. That was before. Its different now.
He Cheng Mingughed. It was great that their rtionship hade to fruition but looking at the Gu familys attitude today, it might not be an easy life in the future.
He and Gu Ming Ren were soon called away. Lin Jiang said hello to Ji Liao and they found a ce to sit.
With bright eyes, Ji Liao asked Lin Jiang with great interest, How did you and President Gu get together?! When he heard the voice message that day, he felt so excited that he was cleanly eaten up by He Cheng Ming that night.
Lin Jiangs ranking of the four of them was as follows: He Cheng Ming, Gu Ming Ren, him, Ji Liao. So Lin Jiang didnt have any burden when facing Ji Liao and immediately yed it cool by saying, Went to bed together first, thenter fell in love!
The description was very fitting and there was nothing wrong.
The phrase went to bed was too sensitive for Ji Liao so his ears turned red immediately. Then he said in a low voice, But didnt you like girls?
He even dated Li Si Ran and pursued Meng Yao Yao.
Lin Jiang touched the tip of his nose. I didnt know anything before.
He suddenly raised his head and nced at Gu Ming Ren. At the same time, Gu Ming Ren happened to look over and their eyes met. Lin Jiangs eyes curved and he asked, Ji Liao, how much do you like Ming Ge?
Ji Liao had a strawberry in his mouth and he considered it for a while, then shook his head and said, I dont know.
Because it couldnt be measured and had no limit. He just wanted to be with the other boy all the time and indulge him in everything.
And you? Ji Liao asked in return.
Lin Jiang smiled and said, I dont know.
Earlier, when his eyes met Li Yans, he felt very aggrieved because the way Li Yan looked at him seemed to say, How could you be here.
He had self-respect. Although he knew that Li Yan had no malice, the feeling was quite unbearable, making Lin Jiang feel like he was being trampled on and unable to raise his head. If He Cheng Ming had note over to wee him earlier, he probably would have run away and avoided all the cruelty.
Nevertheless, when in front of Gu Ming Ren, he happily called him Ge. Seeing his satisfied expression, it also made him happy. Lin Jiang drank some wine and his spirits lifted. He wanted to clink sses with Ji Liao but Ji Liao waved a hand to refuse him. Your Ming Ge doesnt allow me to drink with anyone else. His tone was a little regretful, making Lin Jiangugh. Ming Ge is so strict?
Ji Liao quickly gave him a meaningful look. Lin Jiang turned back and saw his Ming Ge staring at him with an ominous glint in his eyes, then he snorted coldly and said, Why? Do you have something to say?
Lin Jiang shook his head vigorously with an expression on his face that said: I dare not. I didnt. How could I possibly.
He Cheng Ming sat beside Ji Liao and held him in his arms. With an indulgent, pacifying tone and a hint of provocation, he said, Baby, youre so obedient. After the praise, he gave Ji Liao a kiss.
Lin Jiang didnt want to eat this dog food. When he turned his face away, he bumped against Gu Ming Rens lips. Although it was just a light brush, it made his heart sped up and he was at a loss.
What are you doing! Flustered, Lin Jiang hurriedly pushed him away and his eyes automatically went to Li Yan. Fortunately, Li Yan wasnt paying attention to them.
Gu Ming Rens heart ached. He looked at the other persons little boyfriend, then looked at his son of a bitch!
The fireworks were about to start soon and the four of them paired off. To make the visual effects better, the servants turned off the surrounding lights. In the darkness, Gu Ming Ren turned his head to suck on Lin Jiangs face, then kissed his mouth, prying it open and exploring the insides.
Lin Jiang raised his head and watched the night sky lit up by fireworks, filling it with dazzling colours. But it wasnt a match for the clear scent and lingering kisses from the one beside him. This was what he liked.
Chapter 118 - Side Story 28 – Ill Wait For You To Come Back (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 118 - Side Story 28 C Ill Wait For You To Come Back (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
The first five years with each other.
When Lin Jiang thought back on it now, it felt endless and passionate.
Gu Ming Rens time in the university was very short. In his second year, he hadpleted all his courses. After his early graduation, he sessfully got an offer from Columbia University to be a graduate student and chose to continue his studies abroad.
This was a very difficult choice and he was hesitant. He wanted to go but couldnt bear to leave Lin Jiang behind.
Lin Jiang had always led an easy life with everything provided to him. These two years had made him even more used to having his basic needs provided for him. The only thing he was good at was gaming.
How could Gu Ming Ren feel at ease leaving such a precious partner at home? So, he tried to persuade Lin Jiang to go with him.
It was a moonlit night and the two of them had just been intensely intertwined. Lin Jiang was slumped on his body panting, his chest rising and falling. Even a sentence had to be divided in two. Are you trying...to kill me today?
The ruthless man seemed to want to tear him apart to eat.
Gu Ming Ren stroked Lin Jiangs smooth and delicate skin. Laughing softly, he flirted, Nonsense, I work hard to do that every day.
Hmm? Lin Jiang raised his head and looked at his seme with a strange expression on his face. Youre suddenly being flirtatious. Do you have something to tell me?
Gu Ming Ren had always been outwardly cold. He rarely spoke flirtatiously but showed it with his actions instead.
Lin Jiang stopped himself from imagining further and moved off the other boys body. Looking at him seriously, he said, Are you hiding something from me?
After being together for so long, the two of them had started thinking as one, a long time ago.
I got an offer from Columbia. Gu Ming Ren had only applied for this school and he didnt hide it from Lin Jiang when he took the GR test.
Lin Jiang paused for a moment. He knew of this university. It was one of the Ivy League schools in America but that was where his knowledge ended. He took out his phone and searched for it: Columbia University is located in Manhattan, the most prosperous city in the United States. It is world-famous for its finance and economics majors, and adjacent to Wall Street, the financial centre of the United States.
After he had read to this point, Lin Jiang silently threw his phone aside. This was the excellence that he, as a lousy student, could never experience.
Then you should go! Lin Jiang didnt hesitate and his voice was normal, still hoarse from what they had done earlier.
He knew that Gu Ming Ren had a genuine interest in this industry and he had great talent. It would be a pity if he didnt go.
Then how about you? Gu Ming Ren turned on his side and put his arm around Lin Jiang, holding him tightly. He said in a low voice, Lin Jiang, would you like to go with me?
At the thought of their parting, his chest would swell and hurt. He just wanted to kiss his sweet little cub over and over again.
Lin Jiangs words were suddenly stopped by a mouth and after uttering an oh, he pushed the other boy aside. What am I going to do there?! Warm your bed?! In your dreams.
Lin Jiang wasnt happy. He knew what Gu Ming Ren was worried about that he couldnt take care of himself. He treated him entirely like he was slow-witted.
Actually, he also had something to say to the other boy. I want to quit school.
His entry into University A had been arranged by Gu Ming Ren but the archaeology major was really boring. Lin Jiang knew very well that he was not suited for studies. Attending sses every day was torture.
I want to go to the capital. Ming Ge invested in an e-sports project. I actually participated in that. As Lin Jiang watched Gu Ming Rens face, he continued, Ge, whether I continue to study or not, itll be the same. But for you, its different.
Lin Jiang suddenly acted like a know-it-all. The man I like must be an Ivy League graduate!
With that, he hugged Gu Ming Rens neck and kissed him while praising, When you graduate ande back, youll be even more awesome than Ming Ge, Lao Gong!
Gu Ming Ren was coaxed intoughing by him. These two years, they had both grown up a lot. Their vision was no longer limited to the present, but they ced great importance in the future.
Gu Ming Ren knew about the e-sports project. Lin Jiang suddenly said he wanted a stake in it and transferred arge sum of money over. When He Cheng Ming came to ask him what was going on, he joked and said, Thats Lin Jiangs future wifes dowry. You can take it easy.
Gu Ming Ren collected himself and put the topic aside for the time being. He gently lifted Lin Jiangs chin with a fingertip and said roguishly, Why dont you call me Lao Gong again?
Ill call you that every day in the future. Lin Jiang was very open in this aspect and basically had no qualms. Beside Lao Gong, he had often called out Gege and Daddy.
Then what should I call you? Sweet little cub? Gu Ming Ren kneaded Lin Jiangs bare bottom, which felt very good to the touch.
He had ascivious expression on his face but deep in his heart, he was thinking that Lin Jiang going to the capital wasnt bad. At least He Cheng Ming could help keep an eye on him and prevent him from being unrestrained while he wasnt there. It would be terrible if he were to fall in love with somebody else.
Sweet cub my ass! Lin Jiang scoffed at the sappy nickname. You have to call me uncle, okay?
Since youre in such good spirits, lets do it again.
Gu Ming Ren pulled the quilt over them and turned to press his sweet little cub under his body, while heavy breathing drifted between the two of them.
On the day Gu Ming Ren left for New York, there was a shower and the rainwater sttered noisily on the ss window. Lin Jiang had just gotten his driving licence. He drove to see him off and even came face-to-face with Gu Wen Tian and Li Yan awkwardly.
In the airports VIP waiting lounge, Li Yan was considerate and pulled her husband away, leaving her son and daughter-inw some space to be alone.
Make sure your phone is charged and you must answer my calls. Youre not allowed to spend the night outside and Ive already found a house for you, next door to He Cheng Ming. Dont be afraid of troubling them, even if you have to go over to his house to eat. Ill fly down to the capital to see you when I have time. Gu Ming Ren advised him sincerely, his eyes not wanting to move away from Lin Jiangs face even a little. The most important thing is that you must wait for me toe back.
He was reluctant about this and really wanted to put him into his pocket to bring him along.
Lin Jiang seemed to be more unaffected and nodded ok. He also had a request. I heard that there are many gays abroad. You had better take care of your chicken. If you dare to cheat, Ill make you die without any descendants!
His tone was threatening but Gu Ming Ren felt a sweetness from it. He fell onto him in an embrace, breathing in Lin Jiangs unique scent and felt calmer.
They couldnt bear to part with each other but the prompt for boarding suddenly sounded.
Lin Jiang grabbed the other boys hand fiercely and with a shimmer in his eyes, he stuttered, You, you must remember to miss me!
Gu Ming Ren swallowed and he felt fretful. He had not even left and he was already thinking of how he could get through it!
Ge, Ill miss you too. Lin Jiang said softly. He grinned showing his canine teeth, looking especially cute.
When Lin Jiang walked out of the airport, the rain had stopped and the ne carrying his sweetheart was heading towards the blue sky. Lin Jiang raised his head for a look and stuffed both hands into his pockets. Inside, he felt a ring.
His eyes lit in realization. He didnt know when the other boy had put it in!
Lin Jiang chuckled and ced the ring on his ring finger.
Ill wait for you toe back.

Chapter 119 - Side Story 29 C This Night was Doomed to be a Sleepless One. (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Gu Ming Ren took three years toplete his course credits at Columbia University.
Originally, two years would have been enough, but he went to Wall Street to test the waters. It seemed like that ce had no differentiation between day and night but it was somehow invigorating.
When Gu Ming Ren was abroad, he called Lin Jiang almost every day. No matter how busy he was, he had to hear the other boys voice. After hearing Lin Jiangs lively voice call him Ge, he would be in a good mood all day.
I didnt starve to death, neither did I go out to chase after boys. Chasing after girls is even more impossible! I miss you every day, Ge, so when are youing back? Lin Jiang held his phone, eating instant noodles while talking to Gu Ming Ren.
It wasnt that hecked the money for a meal, but it was just that instant noodles were simple and easy to make, and he was toozy to prepare anything else.
Another half a month, seventeen days. Lin Jiang drew a circle on the calendar with a red pen.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Gu Ming Ren only came back during the Chinese New Year and had to leave again within a few days. For three whole years, he was in a cross-border cyber rtionship.
Like He Cheng Ming, Lin Jiang was considered to have settled down in the capital. Last year, he set up a fairly decent e-sports club. Although it was very costly, it couldnt beat the awesomeness of his seme who remitted sum after sum of money to him. In addition to that, with the steady stream of profits from the project he invested in with He Cheng Ming, just the dividend was enough to feed him for a lifetime. Lin Jiang felt that this was the peak of his life.
But he still had to crack his fingers to pass the days, because his seme wasnt back and there was no nourishment in his life.
Only nine days? Ge! Im starting to get nervous! Today, it was sweet little cub Lin Jiang and his mouth was like honey.
Gu Ming Ren was having his graduation ceremony and randomly sent Lin Jiang two photos. The previous teenager had grown into the elite he was now, making Lin Jiang salivate. Ge! Youre so handsome! Come back quickly!
Now, Lin Jiang just wanted to take this photo and brag that this was his man!
Only seven days, Lao Gong! Im going to work out and prepare to drain you! After mixing with He Cheng Ming for such a long time, Lin Jiangs words were bing more and more unfiltered.
But it was true that he needed to go to the gym. He had not exercised for a long time and his body was bing stiff. If he couldnt unlock the high-level postures when the time came, it would be so embarrassing.
Three days! Ge, have you booked your ne ticket? Lin Jiangs heart was beating intensely and he wished that he could go to the airport now to wait.
These three years, he had been very passionate about his career but regarding his love life, it had been too endlessly long. So long that Lin Jiang could only see the other boys face and hear his voice repeatedly for three years, so much so that Gu Ming Ren was soaked into his blood and bone marrow.
Its booked. Gu Ming Ren walked out of the airport, breathing in the capitals unclean air and unable to hide his excitement.
He didnt tell Lin Jiang that he was back early. The sweet little cub was bing more and more tantalizing, counting down the days with him every day and causing him to be preupied with it.
As soon as he graduated from school, he immediately handed over the job he had on hand, rejected thepanys offer to retain him and returned home in the fastest possible time.
Gu Ming Ren took a taxi to Lin Jiangs home, intending to give him a surprise.
What time, Ill pick you up! Lin Jiang was eating an borate take-out meal but his appetite was very poor. He took two mouthfuls and threw it aside.
No need. Sitting in the taxi, Gu Ming Ren refused indifferently.
Lin Jiang paused. What do you mean?
His mood was a little unstable and he hurriedly added, You wont let me pick you up?
The flustered tone made Gu Ming Rens heart tighten and he exined vaguely, The flight is too early. Im afraid that itll affect your rest. Ill be at your ce first thing, okay?
Okay my ass!
Lin Jiang wanted to get angry. Trying twice to hold it in but unable to, he picked up the calendar on the table and pounded it fiercely against the wall. When Im at home, besides eating, all I do is sleep. Im resting very well! Say whatever you want!
Lin Jiang hung up the phone, feeling extremely sullen.
He recalled what he had been doing these few days. He didnt go to the club, looking forward to his call with the other boy every day. After hanging up, he would look at the time. In the end, the bastard didnt even care and didnt need to be picked up!
Lin Jiang ran his hand through his hair twice. He was very angry and swiftly changed his clothes. He had to go out to make waves!
Gu Ming Ren was a little uneasy and said to the taxi driver, Sorry, please go faster. Why did he have the feeling that the surprise was going to turn into shock?!
The car had juste to a stop when Gu Ming Ren left two bills behind and pushed the door open. He had very little luggage and carried a small box.
Gu Ming Ren looked at the high-end district in front of him. This ce had been chosen by him for Lin Jiang. Just when he was preparing to enter, his gaze captured his fancily dressed sweet little cub on his way out.
Lin Jiang was caught off guard at the sight of his seme and was so shocked that his legs weakened, almost causing him to kneel on the ground.
Gu Ming Ren strode over while an excited Lin Jiang rushed towards him and hugged him. You fucker!! Why didnt you tell me you wereing back today?!
Lin Jiang had long pushed his sullenness to the back of his mind and took a deep whiff of Gu Ming Rens familiar, cool scent. With a nasal tone, Lin Jiang said softly, Ge, I miss you so much.
Gu Ming Ren held his thin body tightly. He had really missed the other boy as well, but at this moment, he had to bring out the imposing manner of a seme. If you miss me, where are you going dressed like that?
As Gu Ming Ren spoke, he touched Lin Jiangs waist and felt that the sweet little cub seemed thinner andcked meat.
At this, Lin Jiang remembered and pushed the person in front of him away. You have the nerve to say this?! Werent there three more days left?! Why did youe back early? You didnt tell me you wereing back and even lied to me! Im very angry now and wanted to go out to do my hair for you!
To dye my hair green, humph!
Gu Ming Rens face was ashen and he confined the boys waist in his grip. You dare!
He grabbed Lin Jiangs chin and immediately punished his boldness. In his warm mouth, two tongues entangled. Lin Jiang moaned, feeling the other boys body reacting. In broad daylight, he couldnt help feeling a little embarrassed.
Arent you bringing me in? Hmm? Gu Ming Ren gave a final suck of his lip, his voice already bing unusually hoarse.
Inside the apartment, Lin Jiang immediately counterattacked. The two of them had umted it for a long time, and it was like dry wood in a zing fire, raging as soon as it was lit.
This night was doomed to be a sleepless one.
Chapter 120 - Side Story 30 – It Tastes Like You (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 120 - Side Story 30 C It Tastes Like You (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
After they resolved their physiological issue, Lin Jiang leaned contentedly on Gu Ming Rens shoulder. Their fingers were intertwined, the matching rings on their ring fingers pressed together. For these three years, Lin Jiang had kept the ring on. Whenever anyscivious men made a move, he only had to lift his finger and the other person would tactfully retreat.
Towards the young wild ducks from abroad that took the initiative to approach him, Gu Ming Ren had also not been the slightest bit tempted. Whenever rtionship matters were brought up, he would always mention Lin Jiang. He often said that there was a sweet boy with a wild personality waiting for him back home.
Gu Ming Rens eyes wandered around Lin Jiangs apartment. As far as he could see, it was filled with socks, shoes, rubbish from takeaway orders and small electrical appliances ced together with bowls and chopsticks. It was a mess and looked like a doghouse.
But based on Lin Jiangs style, it should be like this since he lived by himself. If it was too clean, Gu Ming Ren would be worried instead.
Gu Ming Ren lowered his head to give his sweet little cub a kiss. It seemed like the boy was still very obedient and well-behaved.
Is that what you eat every day?
On the dining table sat the container of instant noodles from the day before, the pizza box from yesterday and the takeaway order from today that wasnt finished. Gu Ming Ren raised his chin and motioned for Lin Jiang to see for himself.
Lin Jiang didnt want to face it and shook his head vigorously.
How would he know that the other boy wouldunch a sneak attack! He had been thinking about tidying up the day before the return but in the end, he wasnt in time to do it.
How much weight did you lose? Gu Ming Ren lifted Lin Jiangs chin, his eyes looking down at him as he asked.
Lin Jiang smiled to get on his good side. Like a little milk dog, he snuggled into his arms and exined guiltily, Not much. I lost weight from before when I was exercising!
Gu Ming Ren believed him. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly and with a low voice, he said into Lin Jiangs ear, Later, Ill know once you weigh yourself on the scale. The number of jin youve lost is the number of times Ill do you.
Before even doing anything, Lin Jiangs legs were already trembling. He estimated that he had lost more than ten jin. Moreover, the other boys stamina was amazing.
Ge, Im so hungry now. Lets eat first then do the weighing! Lin Jiang was really afraid. Did he have to be so fierce immediately after returning?!
Okay. Gu Ming Renughed and touched his sweet little cubs head. He got up and helped him to tidy up the living room a little.
It was evening when the two of them went out to buy ingredients together. Lin Jiang had not visited the supermarket in a long time. He always felt that it was too lonely and even bumped into his Ming Ge and Ji Liao each time, getting his fill of dog food and losing his appetite.
Today, it was his turn to show love! Lin Jiang was secretly thinking about this when he heard Gu Ming Ren ask, How about some hotpot? Lets make a light soup. If it was too spicy, it wouldnt be convenient for them to do naughty things.
Lin Jiang gave a random nod, his eyes searching in all directions. In the end, he didnt see his Ming Ge and Ji Liao even after paying.
The show of love was a failure.
They carried the supermarket bags upstairs. Gu Ming Ren was wearing a shirt and pants. His temperament and style were too much, making Lin Jiang unable to help casting sidelong looks at him.
After the apartment was tidied up by the other boy, it looked a lot more spacious. Lin Jiang previously thought that the house felt cold like an empty shell. But now, it finally had a little spark. It still depended on who he lived with. Once his seme returned, the empty shell became a home.
Once the hot pot was on the table, Lin Jiang started putting raw ingredients in.
Ge, when are you going back to City A?
After all, his parents were in City A, so he definitely had to go back to take over the family business.
Gu Ming Ren brought over the mixed dipping sauce and replied naturally, In two days. Ill spend time with you first. There would be another battle when he went back.
These few years, Gu Wen Tian had been gradually unable to do as much as he would like to and had been urging him to return for a long time. But every time Lin Jiang was mentioned, Gu Wen Tian would fall silent. In the end, Li Yan had to smooth things over.
The estrangement between the two generations ran too deep and the silence was the biggest form of rejection.
The hot pot on the table emitted heat while Lin Jiang dipped a piece ofmb in it and said after some thought, You should go back first. I have a smallpany here. After I make some arrangements, Ill go back to City A to look for you.
These two years, the developmental momentum of City A was very swift. It had also provided support to the e-sports industry so Lin Jiang had considered moving thepany over. But this had to be carried out slowly.
Gu Ming Ren gave a positive acknowledgement, feeling that his sweet little cub was now an adult who could work independently.
Ge, have a drink? Lin Jiang suddenly itched to drink a little.
Naturally, Gu Ming Ren wouldnt refuse him. Okay.
Lin Jiang eagerly took out two bottles of liquor that he had been saving.
There was a liquor store in the capital. It was very famous and if you didnt know them personally, you couldnt buy from them. He got these two bottles thanks to He Cheng Ming and had been saving it as he couldnt bear to drink it, waiting until the other boy returned so they could enjoy it together.
The liquor caused a burning sensation but it didnt sting the throat. After swallowing it, the mouth was filled with sweetness. Gu Ming Rens eyebrows lifted and Lin Jiang immediately took credit by saying, How was it, good?
Gu Ming Ren curved his thin lips and his affectionate eyes reflected the smiling face of the person in front of him. He opened his mouth and said in a low voice, It tastes like you. The first taste burnt, then it was sweet causing him to long for more.
Like me?
Lin Jiang sampled it. When the cold liquid touched the tip of his tongue, it burned immediately. After flowing past the throat, he felt the heat spread to his chest.
I feel that its like you. It looked cold and dull but was actually warm like the light.
Chapter 121 - Side Story 31 – The Secret to a Harmonious Marriage (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 121 - Side Story 31 C The Secret to a Harmonious Marriage (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
When Gu Ming Ren returned to City A that day, Li Yan was smiling from ear to ear and refused to release him from her hug. God knew how much she missed Gu Ming Ren. It was good now her baby was back sessfully from his studies.
Gu Ming Ren was home for less than two days before he went to the Gu group to work. The man in a suit and tie with exquisite facial features and a cold expression had long legs that brought the wind when he walked. The youngdies from the Gu group were all so crazy about him that they had hearts in their eyes. But after noticing the ring on his finger, their restless hearts felt chilled and turned upside down.
Lin Jiang only returned to City A after almost half a month. He first went to Uncle Lins home.
Uncle Lin had met Gu Ming Ren previously and knew a little about the situation between the two of them. He secretly said to Lin Jiang, That boyfriend of yours, you should keep an eye on him. I heard that many corporate heiresses have taken a liking to him, and are rushing to work together with the Gu group!
Gu Ming Ren had just returned home not long ago. Besides the thriving family business, he also had good looks and graduated from a prestigious school. Although he was parachuted into the Gu group, there was barely a ssh. Whether it was amercial negotiation or a banquet, he handled it with ease and to the point of perfection. Hence, among the bosses of corporations from various industries, he had be the best candidate for a son-inw.
On the surface, Lin Jiang let out augh and grinned, showing his two canine teeth. It cant be that bad, right?
On the inside, he was actually panicking. His man was too outstanding and there were never-ending waves of love rivals. What was he going to do?
Lin Jiang put the gift that he had brought from the capital on the table and sat down to chat with his elder. Uncle Lin asked him to stay for dinner but Lin Jiang turned it down gracefully, then called Gu Ming Ren.
Gu Ming Ren was dealing with official business when he saw the notification on the phone and put down the pen he was holding. He smiled, his appearance different from how he looked when he was working. He picked it up and said, Youre here?
Lin Jiang went outside for some air and said brightly, Yes, I just arrived today. In my uncles house now.
Gu Ming Ren nced at the blue aurora watch on his wrist. It was the one Lin Jiang gave him previously and he had been wearing it for five years. Sitting behind the desk, he now felt a little restless. I still have another hour before I get off work. Why dont you go home and wait for me?
It was the same apartment from before. After they discussed it, they decided that the location was quite good. Moreover, they had a lot of memories there and it was suitable for both of them to stay there together.
When Lin Jiang heard the words go home, his heart warmed. Okay, then Ill go back and wait for you.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang drove to the mall to buy some daily necessities and deliberately picking up the couple set in pink and blue, which was especially pleasing to the eye. Then he grabbed two boxes of fruit-voured condoms. After all, this was never enough for their use at home.
Previously, the apartment was cleaned by an auntie and it was very clean inside. The furnishings were exactly the same as before, just that some of the furniture and decorations were outdated. Lin Jiang wanted to set aside some free time to put together a new set with Gu Ming Ren.
The refrigerator was full of ingredients which Gu Ming Ren had specifically instructed the auntie to buy. After all, he couldnt allow his sweet little cub to go hungry. The appliances in the kitchen were also all ready. Lin Jiang walked around just waiting for his seme toe back and cook!
Lin Jiang reclined on the sofa for a while, then thinking of Uncle Lins words, he sat up uneasily.
He took out his phone and searched: How to cook rice.
Following the steps, he rinsed the rice, then put the washed rice into the rice cooker, added a knuckles depth of water and closed the lid of the rice cooker.
After Lin Jiang was done, the sound of a door opening came from the entrance area. He poked his head out and saw that Gu Ming Ren was back.
The man smiled gently at him, changed his shoes and walked over. He took Lin Jiangs face and kissed him, then pulled up his shirt sleeves preparing to cook.
Lin Jiang said proudly, Ive already helped you cook the rice.
Gu Ming Ren raised his eyebrows and nced at the rice cooker. He couldnt helpughing. The power was plugged in but the start button had not been pressed.
Looking at the other boys face begging for praise, Gu Ming Rens heart rippled and he said with a smile, My wife has worked hard. He took advantage of Lin Jiangs distraction to press the start button of the rice cooker.
Wife my ass! Lin Jiang was a little embarrassed and said without meaning it, Im your uncle!
Gu Ming Ren didnt say anything and smiled while he focused on cooking. He took the ingredients out of the refrigerator, and as he was washing them, he turned on the fire. The man was skilled and even the act of heating up the oil emotionally affected the inexperienced Lin Jiang.
He had such fucking charisma.
The fragrance gradually floated out and Lin Jiang swallowed his saliva. Gu Ming Ren looked at his greedy little cat appearance and picked up a piece with chopsticks for him to try.
Yummy! Lin Jiang was starry-eyed.
Actually, he hadnt tasted anything at all and swallowed after just casually chewing twice. However, men had to be praised often. This was the secret of a harmonious marriage that Auntie Lin taught him.
I havent put in the seasoning yet. Gu Ming Ren broke into augh.
Lin Jiang: ...
Fuck the secrets of a harmonious marriage!
During dinner, Lin Jiang mentioned the best son-inw matter. Gu Ming Ren understood what was going on and epted an interview not long after, calmly stating that he had a stable partner. But he didnt disclose his partners gender because it wasnt the best time as his foundation was still unsteady.
Gu Wen Tian took the opportunity to create the hype of a fiance. At that time, Gu Ming Ren respected him by not refuting it. Two yearster, when he hadplete control of the Gu group, he finally dered the talk about his fiance to be untrue.
During this period, Lin Jiang had been living with him. Even if he didnt have an official status, he had noints or regrets.
Naturally, there was nothing toment about how Gu Ming Ren treated him. Outside, he was the president. At home, he was the house husband, taking such good care of the sweet little cub until Lin Jiang was always radiant and in high spirits.
When he socialised, he was also very careful. Lin Jiang only smelled one type of perfume on Gu Ming Ren and that was Chanel No. 5, which was Li Yans favourite scent.
Therefore, Lin Jiang also gave Li Yan a bottle.
Chapter 122 - Side Story 32 – Ten Years [Finale] (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 122 - Side Story 32 C Ten Years [Finale] (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
The eighth year with Gu Ming Ren.
At this point, he was already moving unhindered across the business world and had gotten a handle on the rules of high society. Every contract he signed had ten billion yuan worth of project lists.
City As finance industry called him the most iron-fisted young president in recent years. But only Lin Jiang knew that those pair of money-making hands washed dishes and cooked for him every day.
Hire..hire an auntie? Lin Jiang panted, trying to convince Gu Ming Ren when he was at his weakest.
Hire an auntie for the house so that he wouldnt have to do so much. After work, the great president still had to cook for him. If it came out, people wouldugh themselves to death.
Gu Ming Ren pinched his chin, his charming voice slightly hoarse. Are you still able to think of other things at this time? It seemed like he hadnt done enough.
Lin Jiang whimpered and wanted to speak but his mouth was sealed immediately.
After their hearty sex session, Gu Ming Ren stroked the sweet little cubs face and replied, Why should we hire an auntie? Itll disrupt our alone time. He actually had selfish motives.
Gu Ming Ren needed a way topensate him because he harboured some guilt towards Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang had been with him for eight years but he still couldnt announce their rtionship. He also couldnt bring him past the door of the Gu family home because the reputation of Lin Jiangs parents were tainted and it wasnt good for the Gu group brand.
Gu Ming Ren knew who the culprit was for the incident that happened that year but he couldnt touch that person.
The Li family was in politics, so Gu Ming Ren often went to visit his grandfather. Grandpa Li knew his grandsons intention but didnt dare to act rashly and made him wait.
The wait was two years long.
That year, a senior official was sacked and it involved a lot of dirty history including the previous incident of moneyundering that caused Lin Jiangs parents to be med. Gu Ming Ren used a little strategy to add fuel to the fire and with his rtionship to the Li family, he forcibly cleared the Lin couple of responsibility for the crime.
When Uncle Lin saw the television news report, he immediately called Lin Jiang and told him where his parents were. Actually, they had been in contact all this while. Lin Jiang was stunned and called Gu Ming Ren as soon as he could. Did you see the news?! My parents have been absolved!!!
His tone waspletely incredulous. The pie had suddenly hit him in the head and Lin Jiang was crazily happy.
Gu Ming Ren hummed lightly. The sweet little cub had not been so excited in a long time.
Their days together became more and more stable. After the passion, there was only life. Although they were still in love, there were fewer ups and downs.
Ge, I want to see you! Lin Jiang just wanted someone to share the pie with right then, and that person had to be his seme!
So, President Gu skipped work with glory and immediately drove home to apany his wife.
The moment he stepped in, there was a passionate hug. Lin Jiangs entire body was almost hanging off him and his eyes couldnt hide his joy. Ge! Ill be able to see my parents!
Although he never mentioned it, he always kept a memory of his parents in his heart.
Gu Ming Ren picked up the young man in his arms and propped him against the back of the door for a kiss. Yes, I can also meet my father and mother-inw. Lin Jiang was still on a high and pretended to be distressed. What if my parents dont like you?! Gu Ming Renughed softly and pressed against him, saying, Its toote. Ive been sleeping with you for almost ten years. He picked Lin Jiang up face-to-face and strode into the room.
Lin Jiang felt that his words were very harsh. What you mean is that Im now worthless?
Gu Ming Ren stopped suddenly. He looked up and gazed at him, saying, What I mean is, we should get married.
That fine and sunny afternoon, Lin Jiang was lifted high up. He looked down at the man who had proposed marriage and his heart skipped a beat.
Get...get married? Lin Jiang had never expected to marry him. After all, over these years, he had never been exposed.
Gu Ming Ren protected him well. Even if they went out to eat and were photographed, it would not be reported.
Yes, we can go to the United States, Canada or Norway, even the Nethends.
Any ce that allowed same-sex marriages would do. As long as youre with me to make this lifetime contract.
Lin Jiang was ced on the bed while Gu Ming Ren knelt by the side, gently taking the in ring off his ring finger. Only then did he discover that on the area covered by the ring, there were two small letters tattooed on the side of his ring finger: MJ.
Gu Ming Ren looked like he had been struck. His eyes instantly turned red and he asked in a hoarse voice, When did you get this tattoo? Lin Jiang looked embarrassed and withdrew his hand. Very long ago, when you were studying in New York. At that time, he often thought of him and had impulsively gotten the tattoo of the two letters. Looking at it now, it was so fucking pretentious!
Give me back the ring! Lin Jiang was in a predicament and pounced at him to get back what was his.
Gu Ming Rens heart nearly melted. He took the young man in his arms and kissed his evading eyes, then covered his slightly open mouth.
Lin Jiang, marry me.
After waiting year after year, now was the best time.
First, put the ring on me! Its so embarrassing.
Gu Ming Renforted him with a smile. Its not embarrassing, my sweet little cub.
Fuck your sweet little cub.
Not only did Lin Jiang not ept hisfort, but also kicked him over.
Gu Ming Ren persisted in promising him, Ill be obedient in future, wife.
Lin Jiang: ...
If youre not, Ill beat you to death!
Ch123.1 - Extra 4 [Part 1] – Adults (He Cheng Ming x Ji Liao)
Chapter Ch123.1 - Extra 4 [Part 1] C Adults (He Cheng Ming x Ji Liao)
The exterior is eptable. As for the tolerance, please verify it again to confirm that the calctions are correct.
The man had a handsome face. His elbows were propped against the conference table and his fingertips rubbed at the bridge of his nose. He had been working for three days and nights because of this swan neck project.
Ji Liao was twenty-eight years old. Thanks to his real estate design of a small couples house the year before, he had be the dark horse within the circle and was currently the project manager of GM Architectural Design Institute.
Doing architectural design was very tedious. Both aesthetics and mechanics needed to be taken into ount. Calctions needed to be made over and over again for safety considerations.
Halfway through the meeting, the phone on the table vibrated.
Ji Liao nced at the caller ID and his expression immediately became scared. He walked outside passively and picked it up. Before he could say anything, the man on the other end said, bristling, I go on a business trip for three days and you dont go home for three days? Baby, are you forcing me to buy over GM?!
He Cheng Ming had gone to City H to participate in an economics conference. He had just returned and missed his wife so much that he rushed home immediately. In the end, he saw the slippers ced at their home entrance exactly as it was when he left and knew that Ji Liao had not returned these three days!
He was so angry. A lousy institute had made his wife work overtime for three days!
Ji Liaos tone wasced with helplessness. Im working.
In the past, because Ji Qing Wen had chosen liberal arts, it led to him being unable to study architectural design-rted majors. So he took another route and studied urban nning, then embarked on the road of construction after graduating.
Generally speaking, there were some twists and turns. So, Ji Liao cherished the opportunity and spared no effort on the project.
However, his seme was very clingy and normally didnt allow him to work overtime. Finally, there was a rare business trip and Ji Liao boldly worked through the night. A job with no day and night? Baby, if you donte back tonight, Ill make He the surname of GM tomorrow! The man threatened sullenly.
Ji Liao was amused by his trashy big money talk but based on his character, he might really buy over GM if he was forced into by worry.
I know. I will get off work on time today.
As long as the project design was finalised, the follow-up would be much simpler.
He Cheng Ming nced at his watch. It was only three in the afternoon. He was a little regretful that he had not given an earlier time. If he knew, he would have asked Ji Liao to take leave ande back.
After He Cheng Ming changed his footwear and entered, he went to the bathroom to wash his face. This bullshit conference had more time-wasting than business and there was one cocktail gathering after another. He had enough of dealing with it for three days and even forgot to call Ji Liao. This was the fluke that allowed him to work overtime for three days.
The two of them had been living in their current duplex apartment for nearly six years. He Cheng Ming just had to inhale gently to be able to smell the scent of Ji Liao in the air. Fragrant with a little sweetness a lychee-voured sweetness.
He chuckled and went into the study room. After dealing with business for a while, He Cheng Ming was a little restless. He drove directly to GM to pick him up from work.
When he arrived at GM, it was right around knock off time. When the youngdy at the reception saw him, she covered her mouth and smiled. The GM employees had long ago figured out the rtionship between the two of them, so He Cheng Ming walked unimpeded until he reached Ji Liaos office.
He raised his hand and knocked. A gentle voice came from inside. Come in.
He Cheng Ming went in and dropped the lock into ce. Hearing the click, Ji Liao looked up and surprise showed on his face. Why are you here?! His bottom had just left the chair and in the next second, he was carried onto the desk by He Cheng Ming.
Ji Liaos desk was clean and tidy and was more than enough for someone to sit on it.
He Cheng Mingsrge hands wrapped around his waist, his eyes angry and yet wanting. Heined, I went on a three-day business trip and not once did you call me. Baby, you dont miss me?!
Ji Liao looked away guiltily. He worked overtime all night. How would he dare to call him!
I miss you.
To get on his good side, Ji Liao lifted his chin and his thin lips were immediately engulfed by He Cheng Ming. The self-restrained appearance of his wife in shirt and pants stirred him up so much that he couldnt walk.
He Cheng Ming was a little aroused. Separating Ji Liaos knees, he squeezed his body between his legs to be in close contact with the other man.
Oh, enough... enough.
After all, it was the office. There was a one-way ss wall on the right. Although colleagues outside couldnt see what they were doing, Ji Liao himself could clearly prate that field of vision and the feeling of being in public produced a feeling of shame.
We havent done it in your office before, baby. He Cheng Ming said softly and bewitchingly into his ear.
Ji Liaos neck was scalding red and he red at him. What nonsense are you saying! Absolutely not. Although they had yed in the other mans office before, it was an ident!
Lao Gong, Im finished with work and very tired. Shall we head home first? Both of Ji Liaos hands were hanging onto He Cheng Mings neck while he spoke coyly in a soft voice.
You could never imagine a beloved, innocent-looking man in shirt and pants behaving coyly towards you! The lethality of it was huge and He Cheng Ming felt his lower abdomen tightening. He immediately withdrew and stepped three metres away from the little devil.
Ill go out and wait for you.
Looking at the escaping mans back, Ji Liaos lips held in a smile while his eyes looked towards theputer screen. After some simple work, he took his zer, hung it over the crook of his arm and left.
He Cheng Ming was holding a bottle of mineral in his hand when he saw Ji Liaoing out. He lifted his head and drank two mouthfuls.
Lets go. Ji Liao called out to him.
He Cheng Ming put his arms around his stylish wife and stepped into the elevator, pinching his bottom with dissatisfaction. Did you deliberately provoke me earlier? Eh? It caused him to almost raise his g.
Thinking about this, He Cheng Ming couldnt helpughing. The two of them had been together for ten years but once the other man teased him, he was like a young boy again, with an exuberant sexual response and zero self-control.
Ji Liao yawned tiredly and turned to look at him with confusion in his eyes. What?
When he was mentally stressed, he didnt feel very tired. Now that he was out of the office and with an intimate lover, Ji Liaos body rxed. His mind was a little fuddled, revealing his soft and confused state.
Nothing else mattered at that moment. He Cheng Ming kissed his face with heartache and said gently, Nothing. Youve been working hard, baby.
Ji Liao smiled and his heart warmed. He loved this about He Cheng Ming, respecting and caring for him in everything.
*Apologies for only releasing half of this extra. Real life has been extremely busy for me recently plus this extra is quite long, so I couldnt quite finish the entire thing on time.
Ch123.2 - Extra 4 [Part 2] – Adults (He Cheng Ming x Ji Liao)
Chapter Ch123.2 - Extra 4 [Part 2] C Adults (He Cheng Ming x Ji Liao)
Ji Liao had always been hardworking whether it was for his previous college entrance exams or in his graduate schoolter on. Even for his current job, he was down-to-earth and every step he took was arduous.
Of course, he also felt that it was tiring but whether it was for his dream or to keep pace with He Cheng Ming, he had to do it. After exhausting himself, a sentence of Youve been working hard, baby from the other man and he felt that all this was worth it.
Even though the He Cheng Ming of today was more and more dazzling, the other man had never acted superior in front of him. He was always hugging him as an equal or with a submissive posture.
Ji Liao looked at the man next to him and gave him an innocent kiss.
He Cheng Ming immediately pressed him into the corner of the elevator. His flexible tongue pried open the other mans mouth, in a hurry to explore his mouth.
Youre too fierce. Ji Liaos tongue was sucked until it felt numb. He frowned while leaning against the elevator wall andined in a small voice.
I can be fiercer. He Cheng Ming bumped his lower body against his lower abdomen. When the other man had this appearance, he wished he could do him on the spot.
Hooligan.
When the elevator doors opened, Ji Liao pushed him and the two of them walked out brightly.
Ji Liao had his own car but was led by He Cheng Ming. Dont tire yourself out by driving. Ill send you to work tomorrow.
They drove to the same old ce to eat.
It was a Chinese restaurant and very suited to Ji Liaos tastes. He Cheng Ming had specially reserved a ce there so that they coulde at any time to eat.
Today, he considerately ced orders for light dishes. After Ji Liao finished eating, he was even more sleepy. His eyelids were almost stuck together and his mind was muddled. Even his smile had be reluctant.
See if you dare to stay up all night in future! He Cheng Ming wanted to scold him but couldnt bear to, so he could only say something superficial.
I dare. Ji Liao opened his mouth and motioned for the other man to feed him.
He Cheng Ming was annoyed but smiling at the same time. Ive spoiled you!
He picked up a piece of green snow pea and presented it to Ji Liao. Ji Liao opened his mouth to bite it, chewed twice, then swallowed it with satisfaction.
Make sure youre full. When we go back, you need to ept your punishment! The word punishment had been spoken dangerously yet warmly by He Cheng Ming.
Ji Liaoughed. His sleepy voice was hoarse and had a captivating itch to it. Then be gentler.
What the hell!
He Cheng Ming brought him away and turned on the heating in the car. It was quite a long way from here to the apartment. Unable to bear it any longer, Ji Liao fell asleep leaning against his seat.
His long eyshes fluttered and his left hand sped He Cheng Mings right hand, holding it tightly.
When Ji Liao woke up, he found himself naked and thrown into the bathtub for a bath.
What am I doing here? His eyes opened a slit and he asked vaguely.
The bathtub wasrge enough. After He Cheng Ming entered, he shifted Ji Liao onto his body. I carried you up like this.
After three seconds, Ji Liaos brain reacted and he was instantly awake. From the car park?! You carried me up?! He Cheng Ming smiled. Whats wrong? Is it illegal for me to carry my wife?!
Ji Liao was embarrassed and red, fiercely pinching the other mans waist. Why didnt you wake me?! Although the neighbours probably knew the rtionship between them, he was a man. To be carried up like that was really shameful.
He Cheng Ming felt wronged. I saw you in deep sleep. How could I bear to...
Acting cute again! Foul! Foul!
Okay baby, Lao Gong is going to punish you.
He Cheng Mings hand started getting restless, stroking Ji Liaos slim waist and getting more scalding hot with each inch.
The temperature of the water was very good. Ji Liao was teased until he felt something. Feeling at ease, he handed his body over.
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly groaned. Clinging to He Cheng Mings neck, the wave rippled intensely and tenderly.
After Ji Liao did it once, he was half-conscious once again. Taking advantage of their rest time, he dazedly asked He Cheng Ming, Did they send boys to your bed this time?
After the sess of his career, this happened often.
The rumour, source unknown, said that He Cheng Ming liked young boys, and one after another was sent to his bed.
Ji Liao was gathered up and He Cheng Ming carefully wiped him dry, held his face straight and kissed him while he said, No. Really?
Ji Liao felt that he was now lying on the bed. The man was by his side, gently taking him into his arms.
What do you think? Baby, no matter how much others look like you, I only want to H you.
More than once, there were boys who were very simr to Ji Liao. Some were even shyer than Ji Liao and better-looking. When these people resorted to various means to titite him or stand in front of him naked, there was no denying that he would get hard. This was a physiological reaction that he couldnt control.
But he knew that it wasnt the same. There were no feelings behind a physiological reaction to someone else. It was simple and crude and a vulgar desire.
Moreover, the physiological reaction caused by Ji Liao was a fatal attraction that was filled with love. It was a pressing emotion.
He could not control physiology but he was logical and could control his behaviour. He would push the other person away without hesitation and choose to go home to hug Ji Liao.
Even if there were a thousand sails at the side, I only want you, the small boat.
Lao Gong. The one in his arms raised his head and gently bit his chin. Hmm? He Cheng Mings Adams apple moved and his eyes became dark.
No matter how long it was for, he would always be crazy for the other mans tempting appearance.
Youre hard again. Ji Liaos eyes were closed but his lips were smiling.
Werent you the one teasing me? He Cheng Ming pressed him down under his body, his harsh breaths lingering beside Ji Liaos ear. Youre so sleepy and yet still teasing me. Little demon, dont you want to sleep anymore?!
Ji Liao forced his eyes open. He looked dazedly at the man in front of him and said, Its okay. Im on leave tomorrow.
In the depths of love, Ji Liao would hook his arms around He Cheng Mings neck, covering it with kisses, then repeatedly call him Lao Gong. His voice was like a kitten, touching the bottom of He Cheng Mings heart.
Lao Gong, I love you...oh...
Baby, youre killing me!!
Chapter 124 - Extra 5 – During the Wedding 1 (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 124 - Extra 5 C During the Wedding 1 (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Lin Jiang sat cross-legged on the sofa and was currently in a video call with his parents.
Im getting fucking married and youre noting back?! Lin Jiang peeled a banana angrily and took a vicious bite.
In the video, his father had an ufortable expression on his face. His mother had a white scarf around her head. The two of them were happily vacationing in Dubai.
How about this, Ill let Si Si return to be your flower girl, his father said reluctantly.
Lin Si Si was the younger sister that his parents had while abroad. She was six this year and looked very cute. But his mother had already been forty-five years old at that time. Could somebody tell him, how could she sill have a baby?!
Moreover, what was going on with the two of them?! That year, they had just absconded abroad and they were still so passionate that they created a small life?!
Meimei is now your fathers beloved. You have to take good care of her, you hear? After some thought, his mother still felt he was unreliable. Forget it. Ill talk to Ming Ren againter. Its good enough that you can take care of yourself.
Lin Jiang bristled. Why cant I take care of a child?! Dont look down on me!
His heart felt chilled. Their son was about to get married. As parents, they actually refused toe back because they were on a trip?
Were there such parents in this world?!
Tell me the truth. Am I your biological son?! Lin Jiang finished his banana and furiously threw the banana peel into the bin.
Gege, you can wait for me to return and do a DNAparison with me. A cute little face appeared in the video. Lin Si Sis eyes were round and bright. Her smile was very sweet like a delicate and cute doll.
Previously when Lin Jiang was as straight as steel, he liked this type of adorable girls who knew how to act cute. Now, although he was no longer straight, his tastes hadnt changed. How could he withstand this god-like visual attack from his Meimei. In an instant, his heart softened and even his tone became gentler, carrying with it an enticing tone. Then Gege will wait for Si Si toe back.
At this, Lin Jiang heard his mother sigh and she said to her husband, Already twenty-nine and his IQ isntparable to Si Si at six years old. Do you think Ming Ren will turn his back on him after two years?
Lin Jiangs face darkened. Mom, what are you talking about?!
Gu Ming Ren had juste back from work. Seeing the sweet little cub with an expression of rage, he couldnt help butugh.
Lin Jiang instructed him, You get over here!
Gu Ming Ren changed his footwear and went over to sit beside Lin Jiang. Out of habit, he put his arms around Lin Jiangs shoulder and greeted, Hi Uncle, Auntie, little Si Si.
Lin Si Si, the Yan Gou, became even happier when she saw Gu Ming Ren and she called out sweetly, Saosao, in three days, Si Si will go and look for you to y!
Laughter sputtered out of Lin Jiang. It was him who had taught Lin Si Si to call Gu Ming Ren Saosao. It felt awesome and made him extremely happy.
Okay, Ill go with Gege to pick you up then. As Gu Ming Ren spoke, his hand pinched Lin Jiangs bottom as punishment.
Gu Ming Ren exchanged a few pleasantries with his parents-inw. They had more to say, in general asking him to pardon Lin Jiang and to remind him to consider before getting married, or hell have to get a divorce after marriage. Lin Jiang couldnt continue listening to it and disconnected the video call.
He red at Gu Ming Ren heatedly. Did you hear that? My parents want you to think about it carefully. Dont end up getting a divorce after you get married!
Gu Ming Ren looked up and pulled on his tie. Then his slender fingers undid two buttons to allow himself some breathing room. Dont talk nonsense. More nonsense and Ill break your dog legs! There will never be a divorce in his life.
Lin Jiang refused to give in. His long legs stretched over to nudge at his semes crotch. I have such nice legs. Can you bear to break them?! Gu Ming Rens face changed. He suddenly pressed down on him, his rough breath against Lin Jiangs neck and arge hand reached into his clothes.
I dare not, Lao Gong, hahahaha. Lin Jiang was tickled andughed until he curled up like a prawn.
Gu Ming Ren kissed the sweet little cubs mouth. He was right. He couldnt bear to break such nice legs.
Regarding the wedding, what are you looking forward to? As long as he was able to do it, he would try his best to satisfy Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang pulled down his shirt and covered his pale waist, then said seriously, Looking forward to...
He used to watch weddings in television shows and looked forward to his future wife also wearing a white wedding dress with a steel-coloured tiara on her head and walking slowly towards him. But this wasnt something that could be achieved now.
Yes? Gu Ming Ren held Lin Jiang in his arms. After working all day, he wanted to hug his wife and rest for a little while.
Can you wear a wedding dress? Lin Jiangs eyes were bright as he asked with a smirk. Actually, he was just making a casual joke and never thought that the other man would agree.
Gu Ming Ren paused. You want to see me wear one?
Lin Jiang felt that this meant there was a chance! Immediately, he said, When I was young, I thought that women in wedding dresses were the most beautiful! Big-breasted with a small waist. It was beautiful just thinking about it.
Gu Ming Ren sucked on his corbone. But I dont have breasts.
Lin Jiang sped his face with both hands and said, You have something else thats better than breasts!
This was something Gu Ming Ren loved to hear. He chuckled and his throat issued a word. Okay. Lin Jiang was stunned and so surprised that he sat up on his knees, saying incredulously, Youre really going to wear a wedding dress?! Gu Ming Ren looked at him. Yes. But on one condition.
Lin Jiang was excited. What condition?
He would agree no matter the condition! President Gu would wear a wedding dress for him! He could brag for a lifetime!
You would also have to wear it once for me to see, only me. The man said in a hoarse voice with an overbearing yet pampered tone.
He imagined Lin Jiang wearing a full-length bandeau dress and his lower body became as hard as iron.
All right, its a deal! Lin Jiang didnt hesitate at all!
He only had to wear it for Gu Ming Ren alone to see. It was simple enough to force through, so it waspletely OK.
Gu Ming Ren picked up the sweet little cub from the sofa. He couldnt control himself any longer.
With his long legs, Lin Jiang hooked his semes strong waist and forcefully sucked on his mouth. He was now very much looking forward to the wedding!
Chapter 125 - Extra 6 – During the Wedding 2 (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Chapter 125 - Extra 6 C During the Wedding 2 (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)
Norway in July had afortable and pleasant temperature.
Lin Jiang was wearing a wedding suit. It was a fitted suit which made him exceptionally tall and upright. Even his temperament was more stable.
He stood in front of the mirror in a bit of a trance. His intense heartbeat persisted and a fineyer of sweat appeared on his palms.
Lin Jiang thought he wouldnt be nervous. It was just a marriage, a mere formality. But when the day hade, he was actually flustered as hell.
Right then, Ji Liao pushed open the door and came in with a smile on his face. Are you very nervous? Your legs are shaking.
Lin Jiang nodded frantically and asked him, Is it going to start?
Almost. Ji Liao handed him the key in his hand. Wedding gift.
Six months ago, Gu Ming Ren bought a piece ofnd in the outskirts of city A. nning to settle down there, he looked for Ji Liao to design the vi. In nearly half a year, Ji Liao not only helped him to build the house, but also took care of the interior decorations. Now handing the key over to the other man, he considered it an effort on his part.
Lin Jiang took a deep breath and went out apanied by Ji Liao.
Because his parents didnte, the red carpet portion was escorted by Uncle Lin who secretly asked him, I heard President Gu is going to wear a wedding dress today?
Gu Ming Ren did a very good job of keeping this secret. Everyone had just found out about this and each one was so shocked that their eyeballs nearly fell out, although they were looking forward to it.
Lin Jiang was delighted to talk about this. Haha, unexpected right! This was all his effort.
If not, how could ordinary folks like all of you be lucky enough to see the resolute President Gu wearing a womans wedding dress?! Lin Jiang was childishly satisfied.
Thats how you train your husband properly. Uncle wasnt wrong about you!
Lin Jiang walked to the wedding stage. Originally in an uneasy mood, heughed out loud the instant he saw Gu Ming Ren.
Ji Liao reminded him in a whisper, Remember your status. Then took out his phone and secretly took a beautiful photo of the Bride Gu!!!
Lin Jiang couldnt help it and convulsed withughter while Gu Ming Ren walked expressionlessly towards him.
The mans posture was straight and he wore a white bandeau wedding dress. The arm muscles on both sides were obvious andrger than the two areas on his chest. What made it even funnier was that the wedding dress was too short. It barely covered his calves, exposing his ankles and his shiny ck leather shoes.
Behind him, He Cheng Ming couldnt keep a straight face and appreciatively gave Lin Jiang a thumbs-up.
Lin Jiang pursed his lips, forcing himself to control his expression. Otherwise, his seme would get angry!
With a book in his hand, the priest looked kindly at the couple and invited them to stand in the middle.
Gu Ming Rens expression rxed a little when he saw Lin Jiang unconsciously sping his hands together and sensed that he was very nervous.
The priest opened the book and read in a deep voice, Mr. Gu, regardless of poverty, sickness, difficulty, pain, wealth, health, happiness and bliss, are you willing to never leave Mr. Lin and love him for the rest of your life?
Without hesitation, Gu Ming Ren said, I am.
If there was someone in this world who could make him leave his pride behind to do something outrageous regardless of the eyes on him, this person could only be Lin Jiang.
The boy of his dreams, his previous sweetheart and current bedmate.
The priest looked at Lin Jiang. Mr. Lin, regardless of poverty, sickness, difficulty, pain, wealth, health, happiness and bliss, are you willing to never leave Mr. Gu and love him for the rest of your life?
Lin Jiang choked.
Gu Ming Rens gaze of anticipation had forced his eyes into redness, his thoughts full of the past decade that they had experienced.
From their initial transaction of casual sex, he had originally only wanted to offer his body. Who knew thatter on, he would pay with his heart. After Gu Ming Ren went abroad to study, Lin Jiang felt that those were the most difficult three years. The other man was not beside him and he often felt uneasy. He didnt dare to touch the capitals life of luxury, afraid that he would go astray and fail to live up to Gu Ming Rens statement of I cant do without you.
Following that, the other man returned but the Gu family didnt recognize him and the outside world didnt know him. As Gu Ming Rensndscape became more and more unlimited, he became dimmer and smaller. The sense of security could actually be weakened. Fortunately, the other man was in time to make up for it, showing him lots of favour and love.
Lin Jiang thought they would remain like this until they slowly grew old and never thought that a marriage would be one of the nodes on the way.
Marriage meant publicity so he was surprised, yet afraid. Surprised that he had endured until he reached the other side, and afraid that the two of them would have to face even more in the future.
Lin Jiang said in a hoarse voice, I am.
Even if the future was difficult and dangerous, he would hold the other mans hand and walk through it together with him.
The priest concluded, Now, in the name of God, I dere you officially husband and husband. Now, you can exchange rings.
He Cheng Ming and Ji Liao presented the rings. Actually, it was the original pair but just used to redefine their best love for each other.
Before Gu Ming Ren put it on Lin Jiang, his fingertips gently rubbed across the two small letters, then he lifted the other mans hand and kissed his ring finger.
After the exchange of the rings, the priest said, The groom can now kiss the bride.
Before Lin Jiang could move, Gu Ming Ren had already held his head down and gave him a deep kiss. Lin Jiang closed his eyes and heard the surrounding cheers and blessings while eagerly responding to him.
Lin Jiang was suddenly picked up around the waist and Gu Ming Ren strode outside. Lin Jiang then realised that he was supposed to be the groom!
Youre wearing the wedding dress. What are you doing?! Lin Jiang was ashamed.
Gu Ming Ren looked down at him. Doing what Im supposed to.
He had already thrown his pride away. Now, it was time for him to y.
Lin Jiang was thrown into the RV. Because the interior was very spacious, he seriously suspected that Gu Ming Ren wanted to top him there!
The driver had some sense and raised the shield before driving onto the road.
Gu Ming Ren approached him a step at a time. Lin Jiangs eyes were still a little red and he looked pitiful and cute. With his suit, he looked like a youth who had strayed into the red light district.
He hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to remove his shirt and pants. The other man had already worn a wedding dress for him. ying inside the RV was nothing!
Lin Jiang had just stripped himself clean when Gu Ming Ren quickly picked up his clothes and threw the wedding dress over. Put it on.
The size of the wedding dress was actually customized to Lin Jiang.
Huh? Lin Jiang was confused. Now?
Gu Ming Ren couldnt move his eyes away. Without a shred of clothing on, the other man shrank into the corner, lighting his eyes on fire.
Later. Gu Ming Ren let his body fall onto Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang gasped, feeling that his body was extremely sensitive and he couldnt help trembling.
The church wasnt far from the hotel. It was about ten minutes away and before their forey waspleted, they had arrived.
Gu Ming Ren messily put the wedding dress on Lin Jiang, then carried him in his arm and bent over, preparing to exit.
Lin Jiang reminded him in a hurry, I havent put on my underwear!
Gu Ming Ren chuckled and leaned towards his ear, saying, Theres no need. Youll have to take it off anyway.
Lin Jiang was so embarrassed that he buried his head in the chest of his seme. When the two of them entered the elevator, Lin Jiang peeked out but was caught by Gu Ming Ren and given a kiss.
Apanying the urgent sound of the door closing, Lin Jiang was put down.
The wedding dress on him was untidy. Because his physique was thin, he was more suitable than Gu Ming Ren to wear womens clothing. At the very least, it was not a strong visual turn-off.
My wife is so beautiful. Gu Ming Rens voice was so hoarse that it couldnt get any hoarser. The pair of eyes stared at him like a hungry wolf.
Lin Jiang trembled uncontrobly. His bare skin was red because the other man had just touched him, and invited bullying. Come over, wife. Gu Ming Ren called out and Lin Jiangs legs suddenly softened.
Its time to get down to business. The manughed gently and bent to pick up the bottom of his dress, then pulled a little by little, bringing Lin Jiang in front of him.
It didnt need to be taken off. He just needed to lift it up to do it.
From the beginning to the end, Lin Jiang wore the wedding dress but was tossed around to within an inch of his life.
Drowning in the approaching pleasure, Lin Jiang heard the man on top of him say, Wife, from today onwards, I belong to you. Ill spend the rest of my life with you.
Chapter 126 - Extra 7 – Im a Pure Zero, Seme (Lin Che x Hao Meng) [End]
Chapter 126 - Extra 7 C Im a Pure Zero, Seme (Lin Che x Hao Meng) [End]
Thats all for today. Hao Meng ended the lesson on the dot and asked as usual, Is there anything thats not understood?
He was now a lecturer at University A, teaching General Theories of Archaeology. Because he was so soft and adorable, he was quite popr with the students.
Teacher Hao! The female student raised her hand high and said excitedly in a gossipy manner, I would like to ask if your Lao Gong ising to pick you up today?!
Hao Meng normally didnt have any airs. The students were all very close to him. They also knew Hao Mengs sexual orientation and that he had a handsome old seme!
Little missy, are you trying to control everything and even whether or not my Lao Gong is picking me up! Hao Meng said gruffly. These female students were taking his ss but thinking about his seme. How devoid of humanity they were!
Hey, so sour. There was a wave of rowdy jeering in the ssroom.
There tended to be more girls taking a history major and every one of them liked Hao Meng. Even though this teacher looked tall and mighty, he was actually soft, adorable and easy to push over. As long as they acted coquettishly, the main points of the exam would be drawn out of him!
Teacher Hao! Your Lao Gong is here to pick you up. Ah ah ah! A random person shouted out and Hao Meng looked at the door. Lin Che, with one hand stuffed into his pants pocket, had reallye to pick him up.
Already told him not to! Hao Meng cursed silently. It was too unsafe. This ss was like a spiders cave!
Ever since Lin Che picked him up once before, the little missies in the ss kept thinking about his seme. They were like the White Bone Spirit, with make-up on, waiting daily for Lin Tang Seng to arrive. They even provoked him openly and threatened to make Lin Che straight!
Hao Meng snorted and secretly noted down the name of this love rival, intending to teach her a lesson during the concluding exam.
Hao Meng packed his textbooks and went out, saying to Lin Che in a discontented tone, Didnt I ask you not toe?!
When Lin Che heard this, his face sank. He nced at Hao Meng and felt that something hadnt been right with himtely. He was normally clingy to death but was suddenly indifferent this past half month.
What, what did I do wrong again?! Lin Che often didnt know what he did to cause his little princesss unhappiness. He had to ask every time. Donte here again next time. Hao Meng didnt say more and only wanted to bring his seme away quickly.
Lin Che was so angry that he grabbed the other mans arm, rudely dragging him into his arms, then kissed him hard.
Hao Meng was now very conscious of being a good role model for others. This was in public and if the students saw, how bad would that be! He pushed at Lin Che but the other man didnt budge.
Lin Che had always minded the time when he wanted to force himself onto Hao Meng but Hao Meng easily struggled free. It had hurt his self-esteem too much. From then on, he had persevered on working out and trained his body to be strong so that Hao Meng could no longer escape from his hands.
Let me go, Lin Che. Hao Meng eximed.
I owe you a lesson, Da Mng Mng. Lin Che sneered and captured the other mans hand while walking outside.
Previously, when Hao Meng had gone home with Lin Che to meet his parents, Auntie Lin was immediately delighted. On the same day, she gave the nickname of Da Mng Mng to her daughter-inw. After some time, it changed to Da Mng Mng. This nickname won Lin Che over and he had been using it since then without change.
Hao Meng was thrown into the car with his books. Lin Che sat in the drivers seat and angrily stepped on the gas, rushing towards home.
Ah Che, what are you angry about. Hao Meng asked carefully.
Lin Che maintained a poker face and drove expressionlessly. That appearance made Hao Mengs legs tremble. As soon as they arrived home, he got out of the car and ran.
Hao Meng ran into the living room where Auntie Lin was watching a soap opera. She enthusiastically intercepted him. Da Mng Mng is back at the right time. This television show is infuriating. Come and curse the screenwriter together with Mom!
In just these two seconds, Lin Che had already grabbed Hao Mengs shirt cor. Hao Meng was taller than him by six centimetres but this didnt prevent him from catching and bringing him to the room for a lesson.
After Lin Che grew up, his position at home was suddenly upgraded. Before, Auntie Lin could still control him. Now that it wasnt possible, she could only pray silently for her daughter-inw, then secretly follow to listen in at the corner.
Hao Meng was pushed into the room. Seeing that the other man was quite angry, he took the initiative to remove his clothes, then said in a pitiful voice, Ah Che, please be gentle. Lin Che was too fierce in this aspect, doing it every time until his hips ached and his legs were weak. When he was angry, it was even worse and he couldnt even get off the bed.
Lin Che looked at the thin and tall man in front of him and his throat felt like it was about to burn up. Hao Mengs skin wasnt considered fair it was a light wheat colour. But there was a strange attraction when he stood there naked with his long arms and legs
Remember what you said before about always loving me. Even if I stopped loving you, you would still love me. Lin Ches voice was hoarse and he picked Hao Meng up.
The two of them had been together for seven years. Due to the seven-year-itch, Lin Che didnt know whether the other man was tired of him. But he wasnt tired of the other man. He still liked Hao Meng and needed to fuck him into behaving well, to prevent the other man from wanting to fly solo.
When Hao Mengs long legs were lifted up, he trembled and said softly, I remember, Ah Che.
At that time, he liked Lin Che so much that he couldnt extricate himself. Even if he lost out, he wanted to be with the other man. As soon as he graduated, he went home and came out to his parents. As expected, he was thrown out of his house. Later, it was Lin Che who brought him home and supported him like as if he was his wife.
Not only must it be remembered, but it must also be carried out. Lin Che groaned and closed the distance between them to less than zero.
Hao Mengs face was flushed and sharp moans spilled out of his throat. The hoarse and barely heard sounds made Lin Ches entire body taut. He quickly lowered his head to block the nice sounds his mouth was making and tangled his tongue with the other man.
I will...do...do it. Hao Mengs voice was so affected that he couldnt form a sentence. He clung onto Lin Ches neck and called out affectionately, Ah Che, Ah Che, I love you.
Auntie Lin had her ear stuck against the edge of the door. She felt anxious and irritated, silently cursing the interior decorator for the door with such good sound instion. She couldnt even hear a gasp, how could she be happy?!
Auntie Lin sighed. As a good mother-inw, she immediately went downstairs to prepare chicken soup.
Her son was a beast so it was hard on her daughter-inw. She had to make up for it!
After the chicken soup had simmered for three hours, the couple was not done! Auntie Lin let out a tutting sound and smiling, she went out for mahjong.
Young people had good physical strength.
After they were done, Hao Mengs eyes were full of tears and he hugged the pillow sobbing gently. Beside him, a bare-shouldered Lin Che looked at his affronted expression and couldnt helpughing out loud. He used his lower body to nudge him. Do you have to go to that extent? Hmm?
You try folding your legs here and there! Hao Meng was angry!
Lin Cheughed and took the little princess into his arms, then said after a kiss, Who told you to have such long legs that are so nice to y with? Hao Meng red at him. There was no feeling in his lower body and he still had to stand and teach tomorrow!
Why are you angry? Hao Meng burrowed into the arms of his seme, only daring to mention it after they had done it.
You wont let me pick you up from school. Lin Che looked at him askance.
My students like you very much and two of them are especially pretty. Im afraid that youll be hooked away by them! Hao Meng exined. Which two?
One of them has short hair and bright eyes. The other has long hair, big breasts and a small waist.
Lin Che snorted. You can remember so clearly. Looked at them a lot?
Hao Meng: ...
Im a pure zero, seme!
