Chapter 84

       After lunch, Zhan Pengcheng stood at the door of the second-floor balcony and watched Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang plant trees together.

       Both of them were very serious. Pei Qing even searched online for information on what to pay attention to when transplanting.

       Zhan Pengcheng felt sleepy after watching for a while, so he went back to his room and lay down to take a nap.

       When Zhan Weiyang bought a flower pot before, he chose a big flower pot that he could squat in. Now, when buying a tree, he chose a small tree. The two filled a whole flower pot with soil to plant the fortune tree, which looked even more compact in the big flower pot.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Why buy such a small one?” They could just buy a big fortune tree and plant it in this flower pot.

       Zhan Weiyang did not answer but asked, “Will it grow up?”

       Pei Qing said, “Of course it will grow up; it will grow up with Yangyang.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I’m afraid it will grow too big, and the flower pot will not fit.”

       Pei Qing reached out and patted his shoulder, “Now it won’t be too big to fit.”

       Zhan Weiyang agreed, “Yeah.”

       The fortune tree was moved to the best position on the balcony, which was the position Zhan Weiyang had chosen for himself before, where he could get the morning sun and see the fountain in the neighbourhood.

       When the wind blew, the bright green leaves of the fortune tree trembled slightly, but they clung tightly to the thriving and round trunk, growing vigorously like another life of Zhan Weiyang.

       Surrounding the fortune tree were other potted plants, and there were a few pots of brightly coloured flowers that Zhan Pengcheng had just bought from the flower market today.

       No one would be lonely here.

       Zhan Weiyang sat on the guardrail at the edge of the balcony facing inward.

       Pei Qing stood in front of him, held his hand and said to him, “Yangyang, I will go back to school in two days.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything, but the smile on his face became a little fainter.

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything either; just looked at him.

       After a while, Zhan Weiyang said, “You have to go back to school and graduate.”

       Pei Qing smiled and nodded, “Yes, Yangyang is very sensible.”

       Zhan Weiyang held Pei Qing’s hand tightly and said, “Wait for me, okay?”

       “Hmm?” Pei Qing was a little unsure of what he meant.

       Zhan Weiyang said a little anxiously, “I will take the college entrance examination next year. Can I come to see you?”

       Pei Qing asked him, “Which university do you want to apply to?” There were many schools in the city where he studied and lived.

       Zhan Weiyang had no idea at all, and he said uncertainly, “C University?”

       Pei Qing smiled when he heard this. Zhan Weiyang would definitely not be able to get into C University with his current grades. However, he still encouraged him, “Okay, then you should aim for C University and work hard to get in, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Okay! Then you must wait for me!”

       Pei Qing smiled and lowered his head. After a while, he gently rested his forehead on Zhan Weiyang’s soft belly.

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his eyes to look at him and asked a little worriedly, “What’s wrong?” He raised his hand to hug Pei Qing’s head, touched his hair anxiously, and asked, “Do you have no confidence in me?”

       Pei Qing hugged his waist and said, “No, I just want to hug you.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Well, everything will get better and better.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t know whether this sentence was said to comfort Pei Qing or to comfort himself.

       On the day Pei Qing left, he did not chase the car in his pyjamas in a daze. Instead, he woke up early with an alarm clock, followed Zhan Pengcheng and the others to the door of his house, and watched Pei Qing get in the car.

       Zhan Pengcheng drove, and Pei Qing said to Zhan Weiyang through the lowered car window, “Go back and have breakfast.”

       Zhan Weiyang still had to go to class today.

       Zhan Weiyang was actually still sad. He waved at Pei Qing, trying not to look so sad.

       Life was about growing through experiences, one after another, just like the time he couldn’t catch up to that car or the night he took Zhan Pengcheng to the hospital all by himself. After going through it, he realised it hadn’t been as frightening as he had thought. Pei Qing would not leave and never come back. When he needed him, Pei Qing still returned to his side.

       From the day Zhan Weiyang made up his mind to take the C University entrance exam, he began to study hard.

       Every day in class, Zhan Weiyang stared at the blackboard and listened to the teacher’s lectures without blinking. However, he could only understand about 50% of the content in one class.

       After class, he had no time to chat with Chen Youyou. He concentrated on reading to understand what the teacher taught in class. If he really didn’t understand, he would ask Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou thought he was strange and asked him, “Are, you crazy?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No, I just don’t have a good brain, I’m not crazy.”

       Chen Youyou asked him, “Why, are you so, serious all of, a sudden?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I want to take the C University entrance exam.”

       As soon as he finished this sentence, the girls at the same table couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at him.

       Chen Youyou looked puzzled, “Huh? Seriously?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes, seriously.”

       Chen Youyou didn’t understand, “Why?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. He casually drew on the draft book with a pen. After a while, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a good answer: because of love.

       Zhan Pengcheng also found that Zhan Weiyang had been studying very hard recently.

       He went into Zhan Weiyang’s room at almost ten o’clock in the evening and saw that he was still sitting at the desk studying hard, so he sat down by the bed and said, “Yangyang, Grandma will be back in two days.”

       Zhan Weiyang took the time to say ‘En’ to indicate that he heard it.

       Zhan Pengcheng sat for a while. Seeing that Zhan Weiyang ignored him, he couldn’t help but say, “Do you want to chat with Dad for a while?”

       Zhan Weiyang finally looked at him and said, “Dad, don’t disturb me while I study.”

       Zhan Pengcheng asked him, “Then until what time do you want to study?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at the time and replied, “Twelve o’clock.”

       Zhan Pengcheng immediately said, “It’s too late. You are still growing, you can only grow taller when you fall asleep, don’t study so late.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “But I can’t understand the class or the book. How can I get into C University?”

       “Ah?” Zhan Pengcheng stood up from the bed, “You want to go to the C University? Why do you want to go to the C University?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer him.

       Zhan Pengcheng thought for a moment and said, “Because Pei Qing is in C University?”

       Zhan Weiyang then said ‘En’ softly.

       Zhan Pengcheng felt that his son was too dependent on Pei Qing and walked back and forth a few steps by the bed with some anxiety. Then he walked behind Zhan Weiyang and said, “It’s useless for you to apply to C University. Pei Qing will graduate this year, and he won’t be there when you go to study next year.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Zhan Pengcheng and began to look uneasy.

       Zhan Pengcheng put his hands on his shoulders, “Don’t go to C University. If you really want to go to college, go to a local university. You don’t have to live on campus and can go home to sleep every day.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very entangled. He said, “What about Qing ge?”

       “What do you mean what about Qing ge? Pei Qing is someone else’s child. Do you still want to follow him?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly became anxious, “I want to follow him all the time.”

       Zhan Pengcheng asked him, “What if Pei Qing gets married? Can you still follow him?”

       Zhan Weiyang stood up from the chair and said very unhappily, “Qing ge will not get married.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said this just to tease him, but when he saw that he was really unhappy, he suddenly felt a little complicated.

       Zhan Weiyang then said, “Dad, you are a bit noisy.”

       Zhan Pengcheng’s heart skipped a beat. It was the first time he was disliked by his youngest son.

       Zhan Weiyang said again, “You’re disturbing my study.”

       Zhan Pengcheng held back his sadness and asked him, “Do you want Dad to go out?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and scratched the back of the chair with his fingers without saying anything.

       Zhan Pengcheng left Zhan Weiyang’s room, reached out and gently closed the door for him, sighed deeply, and walked towards his room.

Chapter 32

       Chu Yunhan stood frozen. The wind slipping between the two of them carried a biting chill, dispersing the warmth from his body.

       He watched the man approach little by little and finally stopped in front of him before reaching out a hand toward his coat collar. Chu Yunhan wanted to step back, but out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed the neatly lined-up crowd not far away. His retreat halted abruptly, and he allowed the man to straighten his crooked collar.  

       Now, Chu Yichen, who appeared in the cemetery, is the head of the family and his cousin. The intimacy of his gestures carried a performative quality. 

       He wanted his subordinates, partners, friends, enemies, and others who came here for various reasons to see clearly—that there was harmony between the Chu brothers, no discord whatsoever, and that the previous rumours of brothers turning against each other were just nonsense.

       It had been a long time since they last met in a public setting like this, each standing in their respective positions. Chu Yunhan kept his gaze low, barely daring to look at the other. In a soft voice, he asked, “When did you arrive?”

       “Since the moment ‘I really hate myself,’” the man replied, his voice light.

       He only felt a little suffocated in his chest and stood silently with his hands down.

       Chu Yichen put down the flowers and stood before the stone tablet for a long time. In the end, he only said one sentence, “I will take good care of him; please rest assured.”

       Chu Yunhan’s heart felt like it had been struck hard, beating wildly out of rhythm. His face flushed red, and his clenched fingers dug painfully into his palm.

       “Let’s go,” the man said as he passed by.

       He glanced at the tombstone again, pursed his lips, and followed the other person’s steps outside.

       Chu Yichen walked in front, his slim body wrapped in a slightly loose coat, making him look tall and imposing. The oncoming wind blew the man’s scent over, and the light and familiar scent of aftershave brushed past the tip of his nose, reminding him of those ridiculous and indulgent nights, of the way the man panted against his body, of the relationship between the two of them. That sticky entanglement between them.

       A restless heat rose from deep within his spine, causing his blood to gradually boil. Lost in thought, he didn’t notice Chu Yichen stopping in front of him and ended up bumping into the man’s back. Looking at those oppressive black eyes, as if his thoughts were being seen through, his face became even hotter, and he whispered, “…I’m sorry.”

       “Where are you going?” Chu Yichen asked.

       “The company, there’s this project… and we have an appointment for negotiation.”

       Just as the other party was about to speak, he heard a ‘bang’ sound in the air, and then a bodyguard in front of him fell heavily at his feet.

       Everything happened unexpectedly.

       Chu Yunhan was hugged hard and rolled over, hitting his head on the ground before he realised that it was a gunshot. Chu Yichen pressed him tightly, and his voice was hoarse, “Don’t move.” Screams erupted, and everyone seemed to move in an instant. The bodyguards gathered around and blocked the two people. He heard the sound of flesh being penetrated, he saw people falling continuously, and he felt Bai Yang protecting him in front of him, pushing him back.

       In the chaos, a car slammed through the cemetery fence and rushed in. Bai Xiao shouted, “Young Master, get in!” Chu Yichen grabbed Chu Yunhan and shoved him into the backseat, slamming the door. He then said, “Take him away!”

       “Young Master!” Bai Xiao looked sad, and his voice was trembling.

       “Take him away. Protect him.” The man said solemnly, “This is an order.” He drew the pistol at his waist, looked deeply at the dumbfounded Chu Yunhan, and said nothing. He turned around and followed the steps of the bodyguards as they quickly retreated towards the building in the distance.

       Bai Xiao’s eyes were blood red. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car sped away.

       The intensive gunfire drowned out Chu Yunhan’s trembling, “Wait a minute…” and the bullets hit the car door and windows, making a ‘bang’ sound. The bulletproof glass around him was cracked into spider web-like patterns. He suppressed his fear and trembled all over. “Wait…Bai Xiao…wait…” His mind was blank as if he had been thrown naked into an ice cellar; his teeth were trembling, and he was shaking with every word.

       “Wait for what? What are you still waiting for? He stayed there to draw the fire away, to make sure you live!” The man driving the car had a gunshot wound on his left arm, and blood was oozing out. There was a kind of sad despair in his voice, and he roared fiercely, “He’s done everything he could for you—everything! Even what he couldn’t do, he did! Do you fvcking know that?!”

       Gripping the door handle tightly, Chu Yunhan felt a dull ache and suffocating pressure in his chest as though someone was squeezing his heart. Even breathing became difficult. The last look Chu Yichen gave him lingered in his mind.

       The black eyes, with the deep light, seemed to have a lot of reluctance but also an unshakable determination.

       —-He wants you to live.

       Chu Yunhan grabbed Bai Xiao’s shoulders with trembling hands and said, “Go back…” Seeing that the other party didn’t respond and still drove straight forward, he finally shouted angrily, “Go back! I want to go back!” “

       A sneer appeared on the pale man’s lips, “What’s the use of going back?”

       The words hit him like a blunt weapon to the head, leaving him dazed and unable to respond. He slumped back into the seat, lost and despondent. 

       Yeah, what’s the use?

       What on earth am I…useful for?

       Chu Yunhan covered his face with his hands, pressing hard enough for his knuckles to turn white, leaving deep marks on his skin. Warm moisture soaked his palms and cheeks. He couldn’t tell whether it was sweat, tears, or perhaps dirt or blood from somewhere.

       The feeling of powerlessness he felt when his father left swept over him again. This time, it was stronger and more overwhelming. He trembled and huddled in the back seat like a cornered animal, letting out a silent cry of despair.

       Don’t die…

       You can’t die…

       Chu Yichen…please…

       He prayed over and over in his mind. Having always believed in nothing, he suddenly hoped that there really was a god in the world who could hear his prayer and bless that person.

       Chu Yichen had stayed behind in the cemetery, drawing most of the enemy fire. After their car was pursued for a while, the gunfire ceased. But even as they entered the city, Bai Xiao’s expression remained grim. He kept glancing at the rearview mirror, frowning, and pressed the accelerator hard. The car, already going at 130 kilometers per hour, skidded almost sideways as it rounded a sharp corner and changed direction.

       Chu Yunhan was nearly thrown off his grip on the handle, asking in alarm, “Is someone following us?”

       “Yeah.” Bai Xiao pulled a gun from beneath his seat and tossed it to him while driving. He then said, “If I die later, just run. If you can’t escape, well, then you’re out of luck.”

       Chu Yunhan’s heart pounded as he loaded the gun. He took a deep breath, and quickly recalled the shooting techniques he had been trained in—steady your breathing, align the three points, squeeze the trigger…

       At that moment, Bai Xiao suddenly slammed on the brakes. The car screeched to a halt, leaving deep tyre marks on the ground. They were trapped in a narrow alley, blocked by cars at both ends. Seeing the formation, Bai Xiao’s face darkened, and he curled his lips into a sinister smile. Gripping his gun, he sneered with a chilling malevolence, “Young Master Yun, it looks like today’s the day we die here.” Every word dripped with murderous intent.

       Chu Yunhan forced himself to stay calm, controlled his hands so as not to shake, gritted his teeth, opened the car door, and stood out.

       Bai Xiao was shocked, “What are you doing?!”

       He stood beside the car and shouted to the people at the other end of the alley, “I am Chu Yunhan. If you’re making such a big show of trying to kill me, isn’t the least you could do is show me who you are before I die?”

       The other party was silent for a while. Then someone came up and whispered, “Long time no see.”

       Chu Yunhan’s eyes widened. In disbelief, he looked at the other party and said, “Sheng the fifth…”

       The man looked at him and said, “This isn’t a situation I wanted to see either. Yunhan, forgive me; I had no choice.”

       “…Why? Isn’t there cooperation between the two families? Why on earth are you doing this?!” His back was tense, he clenched his fists, and his eyes looked like they were about to burst into flames.

       “Your cousin’s methods are too clever—he has been eroding our influence bit by bit, gradually replacing us, and step by step undermining Old Man Shen’s trust. He orchestrated schemes to lure us into expanding our cooperation, only to cut off our resources after thoroughly assessing our strengths. And now, he has supported Shen Mo in sidelining Old Man Shen, leaving us completely without support. Forced into such a situation, don’t we deserve to seek justice?”

       Chu Yunhan looked at the other party in shock, unable to say anything.

       “If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t have made it this far.” There was a soft light in Sheng Ming’s eyes, “You betrayed Chu Yichen once. Life in the Chu family can’t have been easy for you. I regretted not taking you away last time, and that regret has stayed with me ever since. Today, I’m here to take you with me.”

       “…What?”

       “Sheng Guang brought two hundred people to the cemetery, and the third brother Sheng Wei brought two thousand more in from outside the city. The outcome is clear—Chu Yichen won’t make it out today. Once he’s dead, the Chu family will fall. Rather than being dragged down with them, why not leave with me? Let’s go to J City and live our own carefree lives. I’ll stay by your side for the rest of your life.”

       Chu Yunhan stood frozen, his bangs casting a shadow over his eyes. His shoulders trembled slightly as he asked, “And if I refuse?”

       Sheng Ming frowned, “I don’t want to use force on you.”

       Chu Yunhan raised his face and smiled at the man standing ten meters away.

       It was a smile filled with charm—three parts gentle, three parts cool and aloof, three parts wild and unrestrained, and one part so captivating it left others unable to look away. Within it were hints of provocation and disdain, along with an air of cold arrogance. The subtle smile played lightly at the corners of his eyes and brows, making his already handsome face radiate a unique allure—deadly and dangerously irresistible.

       Sheng the fifth stared at him blankly, motionless.

       It was so beautiful. Like an elusive white deer in the forest, always out of reach. That smile ignited an uncontrollable desire in man to conquer and possess.

       However, the next second, the proud animal walked towards the cliff’s edge.

       Chu Yunhan put the cold gun muzzle against his temple and said, “I’ll give you two choices: let me go or kill me.”

Chapter 27

       Jiang Tongyan never expected to hear such serious and reasonable words from Qian Xiaoke. He had always thought Qian Xiaoke was just a silly little liar who only knew how to charm men.

       “What are you looking at me for?” Qian Xiaoke looked up. “Keep staring, and I’ll start charging you.”

       Jiang Tongyan sneered, “You are so ugly, who wants to look at you.”

       “Don’t think I don’t know. You were staring at me—I caught you.” Qian Xiaoke took a sip of beer just as the barbecue stand owner brought over the skewers they had ordered.

       A large number of skewers of meat strung with bamboo and metal skewers were placed on an iron plate covered with a plastic bag.

       Jiang Tongyan immediately started complaining. 

       “… Look how dirty it is.” Jiang Tongyan pointed to the front of the skewer, “Black.”

       Qian Xiaoke rolled his eyes. “You’re so sheltered!”

       He grabbed a napkin and wiped the skewer. “Just eat it. It’s not going to kill you.” 

       Qian Xiaoke handed the skewers to Jiang Tongyan, and Jiang Tongyan leaned back in disgust.

       “…You’re such a weirdo,” Qian Xiaoke glared at him. “If you don’t want to eat it, forget it. Just watch me eat instead.”

       That’s just fine, Qian Xiaoke thought smugly to himself. More for me! 

       Jiang Tongyan sat there, sipping his beer in small gulps, watching as Qian Xiaoke devoured the skewers like a whirlwind sweeping up fallen leaves. Just watching it gave Jiang Tongyan a headache.

       He had truly never seen someone eat so messily. 

       And yet, he had also never seen anyone eat with such gusto.

       “Is it really that good?” Jiang Tongyan couldn’t wrap his head around it. 

              The skewers in front of them smelled alright, but they didn’t look appealing at all—some were even slightly burnt. How could anyone eat that?  

       “You know what,” Qian Xiaoke shook his head, “I really look down on you rich people.”

       Jiang Tongyan squinted at him, then glanced at the rapidly diminishing pile of skewers.

       Is Qian Xiaoke a pig?

       How can he eat this much?

       And so fast?

       He looked so fair and skinny, but when he ate, he was like the Marshal of the Heavenly Reeds!

       Jiang Tongyan watched as a mountain of bamboo skewers piled up next to Qian Xiaoke. He couldn’t hold back anymore and finally said, “Can you slow down? No one’s going to steal your food.”

       “What if they do?” Qian Xiaoke replied. “What if you suddenly get tempted and try to take it from me?”

       Jiang Tongyan snorted. “Don’t worry. That’s not going to happen.”

       But sometimes, life slapped you in the face faster than you expected.

       The skewers didn’t look appetizing, but they really smelled good. Jiang Tongyan hadn’t eaten dinner, so the aroma was a real test of his self-control.

       He took a sip of his beer.

       “Is it really that good?”

       Qian Xiaoke eyed him warily. “What do you want?”

       “Nothing,” Jiang Tongyan said. “I’m not going to fight you for it. I don’t care.”

       He said he didn’t care, but his stomach growled loudly.  

       Qian Xiaoke couldn’t hear Jiang Tongyan’s stomach growling, but he could tell that the guy was tempted. Taking a bite of meat, he smiled while staring at Jiang Tongyan across from him.

       “Stop staring at me,” Jiang Tongyan said, mimicking Qian Xiaoke’s earlier tone. “Keep staring, and I’ll charge you.”

       “Are you hungry?” Qian Xiaoke asked, grinning. “Or maybe just tempted?”

       “…None of your business.” He was starving—absolutely starving.

       However, Jiang Tongyan was someone who cared too much about maintaining pride, so he could only suffer in silence.

       “Are you sure you don’t want to try it?” Qian Xiaoke held a skewer out in front of Jiang Tongyan. “Do you know what this is?”

       Jiang Tongyan leaned back to avoid it, but then he heard Qian Xiaoke say, “Lamb kidney.”

       Lamb kidney? What does that do for men?

       Qian Xiaoke looked at Jiang Tongyan with a mischievous smile full of meaning.

       “Qian Xiaoke, I’m warning you—don’t start with your nonsense.”

       “I didn’t say anything! I’m just telling you that this is grilled lamb kidney. It’s delicious,” Qian Xiaoke said innocently. “Seriously, give it a try. Just one bite.”

       If it were anything else, Jiang Tongyan might have been able to resist.

       But this was a kidney.

       A kidney!

       Sure, sitting at a dirty roadside barbecue stand eating lamb kidneys wasn’t exactly fitting for a dignified CEO like him, but as a man with certain… unspoken concerns, kidneys were incredibly tempting.

       “You really don’t want to eat it?” Qian Xiaoke teased. “Oh my, what a pity.”

       Just as he was about to pull the skewer back, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

       Jiang Tongyan put on an air of nonchalance. “I’m just doing this to give you face.”

       Holding back his laughter, Qian Xiaoke played along. “Alright, alright, thank you for honoring me with your presence.”

       He watched, eyes twinkling, as Jiang Tongyan hesitated and then cautiously leaned in to take a tiny bite.

       How to describe it?

       Jiang Tongyan chewed carefully, mulling over the taste as if savouring it for the first time. He probably chewed at least ‘eighty times’ before swallowing and taking a sip of beer.

       “How is it?” Qian Xiaoke asked. “Tastes good, doesn’t it?”

       Jiang Tongyan really didn’t want to admit it, but he couldn’t deny that it was surprisingly delicious.

       “It’s… alright. Tell the owner to bring over ten more skewers.”

       Qian Xiaoke burst out laughing and didn’t stop for a full five minutes.

       Some doors to new worlds, once opened, could never be closed again. Some magical experiences, once entered, were impossible to leave behind.

       Starting with one lamb kidney skewer, Jiang Tongyan discovered the beauty of roadside barbecue. By the time they finished, both he and Qian Xiaoke had stuffed themselves so full their stomachs were practically bulging.

       Qian Xiaoke had initially promised that the cost would be no more than 50 yuan per person, but the two of them somehow managed to eat nearly 300 yuan worth of food. It wasn’t because the barbecue was expensive—it was just that they ate a lot. And that didn’t even include the cost of the beer.

       Once they were finally full, they got up to leave. Qian Xiaoke commented, “Every time I burp, it smells like barbecue,”

       He added, “Chairman Jiang, I’ve figured out when you’re at your most charming.”

       Jiang Tongyan perked up. “Oh? Let’s hear it.”

       “When you’re paying the bill,” Qian Xiaoke said. “Honestly, next time I’ll record it so you can go home and admire it yourself.”

       Jiang Tongyan rolled his eyes. “I shouldn’t have expected you to say anything serious.”

       Qian Xiaoke laughed, grabbed his bag of sliced bread, and walked leisurely beside Jiang Tongyan.

       It was getting late, and Qian Xiaoke yawned.

       Jiang Tongyan glanced at him. “You’re tired already?”

       “Isn’t it normal to feel sleepy after eating so much?”

       “You’re the kind of person with absolutely no self-control.” But just as he finished saying that, Jiang Tongyan yawned too.

       Qian Xiaoke leaned against him, laughing so hard his stomach hurt, thinking this guy was just too hilarious.

       The two wandered to the entrance of the neighbourhood. Qian Xiaoke said, “Chairman Jiang, this is where we part ways.”

       Jiang Tongyan glanced inside the neighbourhood but stayed rooted in place, unwilling to leave.

       He had ulterior motives.

       “Hmm? What’s wrong?” Qian Xiaoke asked, noticing his hesitant demeanour. “Don’t want to part with me? Don’t tell me you’ve really fallen for me? Let me warn you—that’s a bad idea!”

       Of course, Qian Xiaoke was joking. By now, he’d figured out that no matter what, Jiang Tongyan wouldn’t fall for someone like him.

       He deliberately raised an eyebrow and poked Jiang Tongyan’s shoulder. “I’m a heartless and ruthless person, you know!”

       “…Move aside.” Jiang Tongyan glared at him. “Who would want to like you?”

       “Hmph.” Qian Xiaoke pouted and turned to leave.

       “Hey,” Jiang Tongyan couldn’t help but call out to him again.

       “What now?” Qian Xiaoke turned back. “Too much lamb kidney, and now you’re feeling it?”

       Feeling it, my ass! If only he were!

       Jiang Tongyan asked, “Are you going straight home?”

       “Yeah,” Qian Xiaoke replied. “Even miracle-working doctors need to clock out and rest, you know.”

       “…You really can’t talk properly, can you?”

       Qian Xiaoke chuckled. “What do you want? You’re so awkward. Can’t you just say what you mean?”

       “I want to visit your place,” Jiang Tongyan admitted, curious about the so-called ‘shared rental apartments’ and the infamous ‘partitioned rooms.’

       “Huh?” Qian Xiaoke looked baffled. “Why?”

       “Curiosity,” Jiang Tongyan said. “I want to see the pigsty.”

       “…Where do you get off with this superiority complex? Calling us hardworking folks pigs?”

       “No, I’m specifically referring to you,” Jiang Tongyan said. “You’re the pig.”  

       Qian Xiaoke was about to die of frustration but eventually relented and brought him home.

       A doctor is kind hearted.

       Right now, Jiang Tongyan was his patient.

       Qian Xiaoke felt he was far too kind to indulge this guy like this.

       “It’s late. Come in, take a quick look, and then leave. Don’t disturb the others,” he said.

       At this moment, Jiang Tongyan looked like an emperor in disguise, visiting the common folk to observe their lives.

       He followed Qian Xiaoke upstairs, curious to see the house that had apparently made Qian Xiaoke’s life so miserable.

       Qian Xiaoke unlocked the door and pushed it open, revealing a pitch-black hallway. Although it was already autumn, the air was still oppressively stuffy. It was obvious the place hadn’t been properly ventilated in days.

       Jiang Tongyan, standing behind him, frowned.

       “Keep it down,” Qian Xiaoke whispered.

       “…I haven’t even made a sound!” Jiang Tongyan felt unjustly accused.

       Qian Xiaoke stepped aside to let him in. Once inside, Jiang Tongyan finally saw that what should have been a living room had been partitioned into two rooms. No wonder there were no windows—there was absolutely no ventilation. 

       After shutting the door, Qian Xiaoke navigated the dark hallway, leading Jiang Tongyan to his room.

       As they passed one of the partitioned rooms, certain *indescribable* sounds drifted out.

       “What’s going on?” Jiang Tongyan lowered his voice.

       Partitioned rooms weren’t soundproof at all. Even the smallest noises could be heard loud and clear, let alone… those kinds of sounds. While Qian Xiaoke was somewhat pure, he had long grown used to falling asleep to such noises.

       But Jiang Tongyan wasn’t used to it. He was even more innocent than Qian Xiaoke!

       Qian Xiaoke put a finger to his lips to shush him, quickly dragging him toward his own room.

       He unlocked the door and shoved Jiang Tongyan inside.

       “Don’t make a fuss!” Qian Xiaoke said. “You’ve really never seen the world, have you?”

       “Is this kind of ‘world’ something I need to see?” Jiang Tongyan was starting to lose his temper. “You actually live here every day?”

       Poor living conditions and lack of ventilation were one thing, but who were these people he was living with?

       “Aren’t you worried something might happen one day?”

       Sitting on the bed, Qian Xiaoke pouted. “What’s the point of worrying? The rent’s already paid. What am I supposed to do—stop living here?”

       He set the bag of bread aside, opened the window, and let some air in before bed.

       Jiang Tongyan stood there, while an indescribable sounds outside seemed to echo right by his ear.

       “This won’t do,” Jiang Tongyan said. “You need to move out immediately.” 

       Qian Xiaoke looked at him like he was an idiot. “Move out? Easy for you to say. Why don’t you give me the money?”

       Jiang Tongyan: “…Cheng Sen will give you the money!”

Chapter 31

       As time passed, the autumn air deepened, the weather grew cooler, and a chill lingered in the breeze brushing past. Leaning against the car door, Chu Yunhan tugged up the collar of his coat slightly. His hand paused briefly as it brushed against his neck.

       The hickey under the side of the neck still left a faint mark, and he recalled the way the man looked at him from above while supporting his body. Three days ago, his legs were tied into an M shape during the two-person game, wide open to receive the man’s advances. This time, no tools were used—just the intrusion and caress of the man’s fingers were enough to send him spiralling into waves of pleasure, trembling and climaxing helplessly. The sight of Chu Yunhan, eyes misty with lust and pleading desperately, also stirred Chu Yichen. His breathing quickened, his body tensed, and a sheen of sweat formed on his forehead.

       The contract signed by the two not only restricted the dom from having sexual intercourse with him, but also restricted to ‘one-to-one’ relationship. This also meant that a man could not take other slaves, nor could he use his body. When he felt the urge, he could only masturbate and endure. This overbearing clause was indeed unfair. Chu Yunhan, whose orga-m had subsided, felt a little soft-hearted when she saw him holding back so hard.

       To be honest, he really admired Chu Yichen for his endurance. After so long, he could hold it back like this every time. Will he get internal injuries if he keeps holding it in like this? Chu Yunhan looked at the person lying next to him, hesitated for a while, and whispered, “How about… I can use my hands for you?”

       The man turned his face to look at him and said nothing.

       His face turned red, and he said awkwardly, “If you want to do it yourself, I can leave.” Then he sat up and said, “I’ll go go take a…”

       He was pulled down on the bed before the word ‘bath’ could be uttered, and the slender body covered the light above his head. The man leaned over and pressed him under him. Deep black eyes were on his handsome face, staring at him closely. An ink-colored flame seemed to be burning inside, silent and hot.

       Chu Yunhan wanted to slap himself twice at this moment.

       Why would he take the initiative to do such a thing… What kind of misplaced generosity is this? I must be out of my mind talking so cheaply like that!

       But the words had been spoken. Looking at Chu Yichen’s current state, if he said, ‘Forget it, I won’t do it’, and ran away, he would probably be skinned… Even if he were not skinned directly, his ass would be spread open next time. Since things had come to this, it was better just to do it. After all, he had pleased him for so long, so it could be regarded as reciprocating the favour.

       He reluctantly reached out to unbutton the man’s shirt, but his wrist was grabbed, pulled directly under his body, and pinned to the belt.

       Did this mean he didn’t need him to take off your clothes, and he could just start stroking right away?

       Now that he thought about it, this guy didn’t seem to like taking his clothes off when forcing himself on him… What a peculiar habit.

       Chu Yunhan blushed and untied Chu Yichen’s belt in embarrassment. He pulled down the zipper and then pulled down his underwear a little. When his palms felt the area that was about to become aroused, he couldn’t help but shrink.

       It felt hot.

       The blood vessels surged, making the entire column thick and even somewhat ferocious.

       “You…” He gulped. He looked at the other person who was staring at him, resignedly held the monster, and began to play it slowly.

       Chu Yunhan was well aware of Chu Yichen’s stamina—after all, he’d ‘experienced it firsthand’ many times at the Chu family’s old house. At this moment, as his hand grew sore without any signs of cumming, he muttered in frustration, “If you don’t finish soon, I’m stopping.”

       There was a helpless smile in the man’s slightly lowered gaze, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice, “You are clumsy and impatient.”

       Chu Yunhan, who was criticised for his hard work, was not happy. He took Chu Yichen’s c0ck and squeezed it hard. He couldn’t help laughing when he saw Chu Yichen trembling and gasping.

       It wasn’t until he finished laughing that he realised something was wrong.

       The conversation and actions between them just now were too intimate—as if they were teasing a pair of close lovers. And this way of getting along with each other without any grudges was a bit like when they were young.

       “Chu Yichen…” His eyes trembled, and he wanted to say something, but his lips were blocked.

       The man’s body pressed down as if to prevent him from thinking about other things, and he continued to deepen the kiss. He pried his teeth open, stirred his tongue roughly, and kissed him until he couldn’t breathe and his body went limp before parting ways.

       “If you want me to cum, just cooperate.” Hot and moist breath was on the side of his neck as Chu Yichen played with his c0ck and left spots of kisses all over his body. Finally, he held their c0cks at the same time and ejaculated together.

       Two consecutive ejaculations and high-intensity lovemaking made Chu Yunhan extremely sleepy. Even though he knew that he was in the other person’s arms, he was too lazy to move again, so he let the man hold him and fell asleep. When he woke up, he was alone in the room again.

       In the past three days, he had always thought of Chu Yichen unconsciously. When he thought of Chu Yichen, he couldn’t help but think about the relationship between the two, the past, and where the future is headed… His mind was a mess as he thought about it.

       He rubbed his head irritably, and his brown hair became like a bird’s nest.

       There was a ‘puff’ of laughter not far away. Chu Yunhan looked up and saw the woman walking over. He also smiled and leaned over to greet the little girl next to her, “Hi, little beauty.”

       Yuanyuan was wearing a beautiful white sweater and red leather shoes. Although her face still looked a little shy, it no longer looked as timid as before. She looked at him with a pair of big fluffy eyes.

       “Did you have fun today?”

       The little girl nodded to him, hesitated, took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to him.

       “Giving it to me? Thank you.” He took it, tore off the wrapping paper and put it in his mouth, smiling, “It’s very sweet.”

       Yuanyuan’s beautiful big eyes curved up, revealing two dimples.

       “Let’s get in the car and go home together.”

       “How come Young Master Yun is free to pick us up today?” Lan Xin asked as he opened the car door.

       “Why, you are not satisfied with me as a driver?” Chu Yunhan joked.

       “How dare I.” Lan Xin laughed and said, “You are so busy. I’m afraid I am just delaying your work.” She had escaped her alcoholic and abusive husband and stayed at Qinglan Mansion to become a maid. This allowed her not only to spend time taking care of her daughter but also to pursue learning culinary arts and flower arranging. The heavy makeup she once wore was gone, revealing a fresh and fair complexion. Her seductive and flirtatious demeanour from her nightclub days had disappeared, replaced by a gentle yet capable persona, making her an excellent assistant to the housekeeper, Feng Tai. Despite earning only 300 yuan a month, Lan Xin spent it all on snacks and essentials for Yuanyuan, refusing to keep a single penny for herself. To her, Chu Yunhan was her saviour—someone who had rescued her from a life of misery, helped her regain her innocence, and even sponsored Yuanyuan’s education at the best private kindergarten in K City. She was willing to repay these kindnesses throughout her life.

       “I got off work early today, so it’s perfect to give you a ride home.” As he drove on, he suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, tell Uncle Feng to prepare the things I need for the day after tomorrow.”

       “The day after tomorrow, it’s the seventh…” She suddenly woke up, looked at the man with some sadness in her eyes, and said softly, “Okay.”

       Although Lan Xin hadn’t been at the manor for long, everyone already treated her as one of their own. They didn’t shy away from discussing things in her presence, and with her knack for observing and interpreting subtle cues, as well as her sharp and clever nature, she had pieced together a general understanding of this young master’s affairs.

       November 7th was Chu Qin’s death anniversary.

       That was the most painful turning point in Chu Yunhan’s life. Overnight, his family was shattered beyond repair. From then on, his temperament changed drastically—the once cheerful young man became depressed. Later, he spent all his time with women and alcohol and never even returned home. This transformation left Feng Tai and the other staff heartbroken and distressed, unsure how to help him. Fortunately, he was back now. Even so, this particular date continued to make them uneasy, fearing that Chu Yunhan might hurt himself out of grief.

       Maybe since she was tired from playing in kindergarten, Yuanyuan fell asleep in the car. When they returned to Qinglan Mansion, Lan Xin wanted to wake her up, but Chu Yunhan stopped her.

       “Let her sleep.” He bent down, picked up the little girl from the back seat, and walked quickly through the door. In her daze, Yuanyuan softly wrapped her small hands around his neck, put her face against his neck and continued to sleep.

       It was a relaxed posture that conveyed a sense of safety. Yuanyuan trusted him and was gradually emerging from her timid and fearful state. The child had suffered terribly at the hands of her biological father, but now she was slowly returning to a normal life. Although she still didn’t talk much and remained wary of strangers, she had started playing with the other children at kindergarten and was smiling more and more.

       Chu Yunhan suddenly felt that he had really done something right. The feeling of being relied upon and trusted by this sensitive child even made him feel more satisfied and happy than winning the project or doubling the profit. It was like a warm breeze blew on his face and poured into your body, making his heart soft and warm.

       Dr. Chen was right; deep down he did long to be needed and…to be loved.

       If he could have my own family, if he could have his own children…

       As he thought of this, Chu Yichen’s face suddenly flashed in his mind.

       He stiffened and stopped.

       “What’s wrong?” Lan Xin asked.

       “It’s okay.” His eyelashes lowered slightly, and he continued to walk forward.

 

       November 7th.

       It was a suitable day for offering sacrifices, betrothal, opening businesses, and travelling. It was not suitable for groundbreaking, building beams, or construction work.1usually in chinese calendar, there will be notes about what the date is auspicious for and what to avoid in the particular date

       In the early morning, Chu Yunhan adjusted his collar and pressed the black cufflinks into the buttonholes with his slender fingers. He looked at himself in black clothes in the mirror, breathed out gently, turned around and said, “Let’s go.”

       Feng Tai, who was standing aside, responded and followed.

       The sky seemed to have been splashed with a bucket of sewage water. It was gloomy, and even the clouds were dyed with a dark colour. There seemed to be an invisible sense of oppression in the atmosphere, which made people’s moods become heavy.

       Black Mercedes-Benz parked one after another outside the cemetery gate.

       Chu Yunhan got out of the car. Lan Xin put a black coat on him and said, “The wind is blowing.”

       He put on his coat and walked forward. People all dressed in black followed one after another. Among them were the servants from the manor and former subordinates of the Chu Qin’s families. Though their numbers were not large, they moved in an orderly and solemn manner, drawing the attention of some grave sweepers.

       He walked slowly along the road in the morning mist, slowly walking towards the mountain. In the silence, there was only the sound of scattered footsteps on the fallen leaves.

       On the sunny hillside of the cemetery, there was an open area isolated by a fence planted with green pines and cypresses. Two men in black who had been waiting here early nodded to him and saluted.

       Three tombstones were standing there, two of them standing side by side. One belonged to the old man, and the other had the words ‘Qin Yuxuan’ engraved. Chu Yunhan took a handkerchief from Feng Tai, carefully wiped the two tombstones clean, placed white chrysanthemums in front of the tombs, and burned incense to offer prayer. After finishing, he moved to the tombstone standing alone not far away. After completing everything according to the rules, the others retreated outside the fence, leaving him alone in front of the tombstone.

       “Dad, I’m here.” He said, “How have you been over there? Mom didn’t come today—you know, her lower back always acts up around this time. She’s doing well, though. I just visited her yesterday. She’s gained a little weight recently and has been learning traditional Chinese painting from a teacher. She’s very focused on it. I secretly took one of her paintings and brought it here for you to see. It’s her wish; she said she wanted to paint something for you. Even now, she’s still waiting for you to come back.”

       He smiled, but his eyes were a little red, “I’ll take good care of her, so you don’t need to worry. I’m… doing pretty well now, too. I’ve taken over a few companies. There are still plenty of things in management that I’m not good at, but I’m gradually getting the hang of it. Now, I regret not taking the time to learn properly while you were here. Back then, I only cared about having fun and never thought about anything else.” He paused, lowered his head and said softly, “Dad, I made a big mistake before. Honestly, I don’t have the face to tell you about it. If you were still here, I bet you’d beat me so hard I couldn’t get up. I can’t even explain why I acted so irrationally—it was probably because I felt not taken seriously, insecure, and jealous. Chu Yichen… he’s an excellent heir. He handles everything so seamlessly. I really can’t compare to him.”

       Chu Yunhan looked at his father’s black and white portrait on the cold tombstone and was silent for a while. His hands hanging by his side clenched tightly into fists. The redness in the corners of his eyes became thicker. His voice trembled in the wind, “Dad, he and I… we, we…” He couldn’t continue the words here; his lips trembled a little, and as he lowered his head, the tears accumulated in his eye sockets fell to the ground and melted into the soil.

       Shame, guilt, sadness.

       The mixture became the pain of being unable to speak.

       “I know this is wrong…but I can’t control it…I really…hate myself…Dad, I’m a beast…I don’t deserve to be your son…” He covered his eyes with one hand. His shoulders trembled violently as his tears blurred his vision and wetted his palms.

       Although he tried to tell himself that it was just a game, although the other party deliberately blurred the relationship between the two, and although they had such a tacit understanding, when Chu Yunhan faced his deceased father, he did not have any excuse.

       When the fig leaf covering the absurd relationship was torn off, all the unhappiness would be laid out naked before him.

       There was no pretence, no way to avoid it, no way to resist it.

       These were words he had nowhere else to say, so he could only confide them to the departed during today’s visit to the grave. It took him a long while to regain his composure. Using a handkerchief, he wiped away the traces of tears and took several deep breaths to steady himself. Only after carefully managing his expression did he finally turn around.

       A figure ran into his sight without warning.

       Dressed in a long black coat, the figure stood tall and upright, holding a bouquet of white carnations in his hands.

Chapter 83

       Pei Qing and Zhan Weiguang both asked for leave from the school.

       Zhan Weiyang had to go back to school on Monday, and Pei Qing and Zhan Weiguang took turns to accompany Zhan Pengcheng in the hospital.

       Zhan Pengcheng disagreed at first and asked Zhan Weiguang to hire a nurse directly, thinking that there was no need to trouble Pei Qing.

       Zhan Weiguang was a little hesitant, and he asked Pei Qing what he thought.

       Pei Qing said to him, “There is no need to hire a nurse. I asked for a week’s leave from the school, and I have already come here. So I can’t take a plane back immediately.”

       Zhan Weiguang didn’t say anything.

       Pei Qing saw Zhan Weiguang’s expression of wanting to say something but not being able to and asked him, “Why? What do you want to say?”

       Zhan Weiguang whispered, “Are you going to tell Dad about you and Zhan Weiyang?”

       Pei Qing smiled and asked him, “What do you think? Is it appropriate to tell him now?”

       Zhan Weiguang considered it seriously and said, “No, my dad is not in good health now.”

       Pei Qing said, “Isn’t that good for me? He doesn’t have the strength to chase me and beat me.”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Don’t joke about that.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will wait until the time is right.”

       In the evening, when Zhan Weiguang took Zhan Weiyang home, Zhan Pengcheng and Pei Qing were left in the hospital ward.

       Zhan Pengcheng felt that it was inconvenient for Pei Qing to take care of him, so he tried his best not to go to the bathroom when he was receiving an IV.

       After dinner, the two sat and chatted for a while, and when the doctor came to the ward, it was almost time to go to bed.

       After all, the hospital was noisy. Pei Qing lay on a single bed, which he couldn’t turn over, with his arms under his head, staring at the ceiling and thinking.

       Actually, he seriously considered whether to tell Zhan Pengcheng about his relationship with Zhan Weiyang, but later, he felt that the timing was not right. When would the best time be? Pei Qing himself couldn’t tell clearly. Maybe there was no so-called best time. No matter when it was said, it would be a storm, and he must stand in front to bear it.

       Of course, choosing a better time might reduce the harm to others.

       The new patient in the next bed made a loud cry.

       Pei Qing heard Zhan Pengcheng tossing and turning and seemed unable to sleep, so he turned over in the small bed and lay on his side.

       “Pei Qing,” Zhan Pengcheng suddenly called him softly.

       Pei Qing raised his head, “Uncle?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Do you think it’s good if Yangyang is not allowed to go to college?”

       Pei Qing asked, “Then what should he do?”

       Zhan Pengcheng sighed. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but he couldn’t find anyone to talk to, and he couldn’t get any suitable advice. He said, “I don’t know. I just think that he can’t get into a good university. Those messy third-rate schools are not good. I’m afraid he will be bullied.”

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything. From the bottom of his heart, he certainly hoped that Zhan Weiyang could go to college, get in touch with different people, and get familiar with this society, but at the same time, he knew that what Zhan Pengcheng said made sense. Zhan Weiyang couldn’t go to a good university, and a bad environment would have a great impact on him.

       Pei Qing was silent for a while and then asked Zhan Pengcheng softly, “Uncle, have you ever thought about what Yangyang should do even if he graduates from university?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Just stay at home. I will save enough money and let him live happily all his life.”

       Pei Qing asked for the first time, “Do you want him to get married?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “If there is a suitable girl—” He paused, turned over in bed and faced Pei Qing’s direction, “It’s not that I don’t want him to get married, I’m just afraid that those girls have impure minds. I can still take care of him while I’m alive. If I’m gone, it will be troublesome if he is bullied by others.”

       Pei Qing asked, “Do you think there will be no one who really likes Yangyang?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Of course there will be. Yangyang is so nice; there must be someone who really likes him. The problem is that there’s no way for us to tell, and hearts change.”

       Both of them fell silent. After a while, Pei Qing asked, “If there is someone who is sincere to him, what kind of person do you hope that person is?”

       “What kind of person?” Zhan Pengcheng thought this question was a bit strange and said, “I hope it is a kind person.”

       Pei Qing said, “That simple?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “If he is kind by nature, even if the love fades in the future, he won’t get hurt, right?”

       Then, the two did not say anything else.

       After two or three days, Auntie Luo returned from her hometown, and Zhan Pengcheng was discharged from the hospital.

       Zhan Weiguang was a freshman with a tight schedule. After Zhan Pengcheng was discharged from the hospital, he immediately went back to school. Pei Qing had nothing to do at school, so he stayed and did not leave for the time being.

       Zhan Weiyang was the happiest when he saw that his life was back on track. His favourite thing every day was to tell Zhan Pengcheng not to drink. After Zhan Pengcheng returned home, he did not rush to work but recuperated at home, eating three meals a day very healthily and not drinking a drop of alcohol.

       Because Zhan Weiyang was in a good mental state, Pei Qing accompanied him to a follow-up examination. The doctor said that he could stop taking the medicine temporarily and let his family closely observe him. If he displayed any symptoms, he could come back for a follow-up examination immediately.

       Zhan Weiyang stopped taking the medicine on Friday. The next morning, when he was having breakfast in the dining room, Pei Qing asked him, “Did you sleep well last night?”

       He nodded and said that he slept well.

       Pei Qing did not ask him if he had heard any noises. Instead, he peeled an egg for him and asked him, when he handed it to him, “Do you remember your flower pot?”

       Zhan Weiyang took the egg and nodded, “Of course I remember.”

       Pei Qing said, “Have you ever thought that you would not become a fortune tree and that your flower pot would be very lonely in the future?”

       Zhan Weiyang took a bite of the egg and looked at Pei Qing, “It seems so. What should we do?”

       Pei Qing said, “Why don’t we go buy a fortune tree and plant it?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly opened his eyes wide and nodded vigorously.

       They planned to go to the flower market in the morning to buy fortune trees. Zhan Pengcheng was bored at home and was excited to go with them.

       Pei Qing couldn’t refuse, so he drove Zhan Pengcheng and Zhan Weiyang out.

       When they arrived at the flower market, Zhan Pengcheng said, “You can choose whatever you want. Dad will pay for it after you choose.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. He reached out, grabbed Pei Qing’s sleeve, and led him forward. They went into a shop that sold money trees. The store had both large and small ones, and Zhan Weiyang carefully inspected them one by one.

       Pei Qing waited patiently by his side for him.

       Zhan Pengcheng said to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, why don’t you buy a potted flower? The pink flower is beautiful.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Zhan Pengcheng unhappily.

       Pei Qing said, “Let him take his time to choose.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked over carefully and even touched the leaves and trunk with his hands. Sometimes, he got close as if he was whispering to the tree.

       Zhan Pengcheng had already gone to the stall next door, leaving Pei Qing waiting for him outside.

       Zhan Weiyang spent more than ten minutes selecting, and stopped in front of a small tree, turning back to look at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing asked him, “This one?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded shyly.

       Pei Qing whispered, “Gege will buy it for you.”

       Zhan Weiyang smiled immediately.

       On the way back, Pei Qing drove, and Zhan Pengcheng and Zhan Weiyang sat in a row. He heard Zhan Weiyang humming softly, so he asked, “Is Yangyang happy?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him and said, “Happy.”

       Zhan Pengcheng didn’t get to buy a fortune tree for Zhan Weiyang, so he picked several pots of flowers, bought them together, and brought them back. Now, they were all in the back of the SUV.

       He didn’t understand what attracted Zhan Weiyang to the fortune tree besides its nice name. He wanted to know more about his son and asked, “Why are you so happy?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “My flower pot will no longer be alone on the balcony.”

       Zhan Pengcheng thought for a moment and said, “The flower pot must be really happy.”

       Zhan Weiyang tilted his head and looked at him, “Dad, what are you talking about?”

       Zhan Pengcheng was stunned by the question and said, “Didn’t you say the flower pot is happy?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I said I’m the one that’s happy.”

       “Oh— Yangyang is happy,” Zhan Pengcheng sighed secretly, not knowing how to continue the conversation with Zhan Weiyang, so he could only reach out and touch his head, saying, “Then Dad is happy too.”


Notes:
It’s just like Weiguang said before, Zhang Pengcheng is not really seeing Yanyang properly. I feel like he’s just treating Yangyang as some kind of idiot son and won’t see the potential in him simply because he doesn’t expect Yangyang to have one

Chapter 30

       The sense of shame and indulgence that arose after letting go of the baggage and fully entering the role made the sexual intercourse more vivid than ever before. The depression and pain during the process made the belated climax extremely intense. Chu Yunhan, who had been suppressed for a long time, spasmed uncontrollably under such stimulation and fell with no strength. He even felt that his heartbeat had stopped for a few seconds as if he was about to die.

       Good.

       So good.

       It feels so good that my body can hardly bear the load.

       He closed his eyes and felt the waves of aftertaste rippling through his body, finally feeling the satisfaction he had not felt for a long time. It was like being wrapped in a huge and soft cocoon, and he wanted to stay trapped in it, indulge in it, think of nothing, do nothing until the end of the world.

       However, as the climax subsided, his sanity eventually recovered, and his gradually regained consciousness would pull him back to the real world bit by bit. The cocoon that surrounded him… was an embrace—a warm skin, a firm chest, and a body that exuded a refreshing light fragrance.

       He was held by Chu Yichen.

       And just now, the other party used a di-do to make him want to die. Not only did he call ‘Master’, but he also cried and begged for mercy without dignity… Thinking of all this, Chu Yunhan’s face couldn’t help but get hot; even the tips of his ears were red. He closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless.

       After having sex with other men, he would always have a lingering feeling of disgust, but this time, there was none—just embarrassment and shame. He really didn’t know how to face Chu Yichen, so he could only pretend to be dead spinelessly.

       After a while, he felt himself being lifted up and placed on the bed in the back room, with a thin blanket covering him.

       He could hide for a while, but he couldn’t hide for a lifetime. However… What should he say when he opened his eyes? Just when he was extremely confused, he felt the bed move, and his side sank slightly.

       Chu Yunhan was slightly surprised. He looked over secretly and saw the man lying on his back next to him with his eyes closed.

       Is he…tired?

       He looked at the other person with inquiring eyes and hesitated slightly when he saw a certain bulge.

       Chu Yichen is a Dom. During the training process, he would get pleasure from controlling his sub. Besides, the other party would naturally react to how he acted just now. However, Chu Yunhan didn’t allow substantial penetration in the contract, so at the moment, the man could only endure it.

       He seems… quite miserable.

       Chu Yunhan didn’t know why this idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and then he changed his mind and thought, Crazy guy, have you forgotten how miserable you were because of this guy before? Now that the scar has healed, you forget about the pain and feel sorry for him, right? He shook his head and looked away from the man’s crotch. When he raised his eyes, he happened to catch the other man’s gaze.

       Chu Yichen’s face turned slightly sideways. The yellowish light softened the outline. The high bridge of his nose made his eyes appear deeper. A pair of dark eyes were watching him quietly.

       Chu Yunhan sat up awkwardly, said, “I’m going to take a shower,” and entered the bathroom. When he came out after washing, the man was gone. The props were neatly packed away, and even the residual turbid liquid on the sofa had been wiped clean. The black secondary card and a signed contract remained on the table.

       The reason for this avoidance was not to let him have any burden.

       Chu Yichen really managed to get along with him ‘like a stranger’.

       He was really… considerate.

       Chu Yunhan stood in the empty room momentarily, got dressed, and put the card and contract into his pocket. He put on a white half-face mask and pushed out the door.

 

       If there were a first time, there would be a second and third time…

       The frequency between the two was maintained once or twice a week. As Chu Yunhan gradually unravelled his knot and approached BDSM with a more open and peaceful attitude, the interactions between the two became richer. Despite the limitations imposed by that contract, Chu Yichen still found ways to add new elements within the prescribed limits, giving him a different kind of pleasure. His discomfort with the term ‘slave’ gradually disappeared, and calling him ‘Master’ became more and more comfortable. The man controlled the overall situation, and the frequency of his release, and the game stopped every time after he ejaculated.

       After it was over, the two of them would lie quietly on the bed for a while—one to rest and the other to calm down their desires. Then, one went to take a shower, during which time the other packed everything up and left. This way of getting along had become an implicit and fixed action between them. There were no unnecessary words or awkward interactions.

       After his body was satisfied, his mind became more stable. Correspondingly, he was more focused when working and would no longer appear restless. He majored in economics and trade, and he was not stupid. As he learned and practised, he gradually learned some ways of doing business. He also managed several companies he took over in an orderly manner and was currently considering a few big projects. In his free time, he would go swimming, exercise, and occasionally drink with his friends, but he never spent the night with anyone else.

       It was not that he valued ​​that contract too much. It was just that others couldn’t give him that strong feeling, and he didn’t want to ruin the current state between the two. Chu Yunhan understood that their current relationship was weird and fragile. It was like standing on two ends of a scale that was finally balanced. The slightest movement would destroy the balance.

       From now on, will they… continue like this?

       As he thought about this problem, he was tied naked, with one left leg lifted back by a rope and hung on the torture rack, exposing the secret part of his crotch.

       There was a ‘pop’ sound, and the pain in his perineum made him gasp. He turned his eyes to the man standing in front of him and called softly, “Master.”

       “Being merciful and not tying you up too tightly has allowed you to relax, hasn’t it?” Chu Yichen said slowly, turning the rubber hand clap. Chu Yunhan, who was caught red-handed, knew he would be punished, so he honestly and proactively admitted his mistake, “…I was wrong.”

       The man threw the hand clap on the table, held his left leg with one hand, and tightened the rope with the other hand, forcing his leg to be raised higher. This one-legged hanging posture already made his centre of gravity unstable. In addition, his hands were also tightly tied behind his back. His body showed a swallow-like posture that made it extremely difficult to maintain balance, and he swayed back and forth a few times before he could barely hold on to his position. These few swaying movements alone had already made him gasp, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at the other party in embarrassment, and his tone sounded like he was begging for mercy, “Master…”

       “Is there any discomfort?” Chu Yichen carefully checked the rope again and tried the tightness.

       “It’s… uncomfortable down there.” He replied with a blush.

       Hearing this, the man raised his thin lips and smiled. He glanced at the small remote control on the table and said, “If you feel uncomfortable… Shall I turn it on?”

       Chu Yunhan shook his head hurriedly, “No, don’t turn it on… please.”

       A thick di-do covered with protrusions was inserted deeply between his buttocks. The knotted rope was just right on the sensitive point. The rope was embedded in the crack of his buttocks. Just a slight shake of the body would cause a burst of electric shock-like pleasure, and a numbing feeling flowed one by one, with a tendency to become more and more intense. The nipples also showed a bright red colour due to the constant friction of the rope, and they stood up hard. However, the genitals in front of him were not restrained in any way and could only be swollen and erect due to the torment of desire. Just thrusting without moving made him unable to control himself. If the switch were turned on…he would definitely not be able to hold on for a while before he would ejaculate…

       But just now, his master gave him an order not to ejaculate and clearly told him what punishment he would receive—ten slaps on the butt.

       After being beaten, it would be difficult for him to sit in the meeting tomorrow, so he had to endure it. He took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself down but was made to groan by the sudden tightening of the rope.

       Chu Yichen leaned aside leisurely, holding the rope hanging on the top of the torture frame casually with one hand. He looked at him jokingly and said, “Is it still uncomfortable? Do you need me to adjust it again?”

       Chu Yunhan was shaking again and was so tortured that he was about to cry. The small hole at the front was already secreting transparent liquid under stimulation. He gasped softly and said, “No more…”

       Now he knew where the top dom’s skills lay. After being tied up, his body was controlled entirely in the hands of the other party. The windings could not only fix oneself in various positions but also accurately adjust the angle and tightness without any physical contact. He used the rope to ravage every sensitive point of his body, triggering his desire. The arrangement of the knots was clever and flexible, and every movement could affect the whole body. The move just now not only felt like an invasion between the legs but also felt like a strong tug on the chest, which was so painful and numb that it almost drove him crazy.

       “You don’t want it either? It’s nerve-wracking. My slave is really difficult to take care of.” The man lifted up his hand to pat again, walked around behind him, and raised his hand to pat his strong buttocks. This blow was not heavy, but it drove the di-do inserted into the hole and hit the sensitive point hard. Chu Yunhan almost ejaculated from this blow. He bit his lower lip hard and arched his back.

       This action was like a domino being knocked over, causing a series of chain reactions to the bound body, causing the tide of orga-m to surge.

       He didn’t dare to move anymore and could only breathe heavily.

       “Do you feel comfortable?” Chu Yichen’s voice came from behind, with a hint of teasing.

       Chu Yunhan was afraid that he would be tortured if he said he felt uncomfortable, so he could only blush and say, “…it feels good.”

       “Want to feel even better?” The warm breath, which was close to the ear and blew on the skin, caused a tingling sensation.

       He knew that he would be played with, tortured, and turned into a shameful state next, but he was filled with anticipation and excitement in his heart. He pursed his dry lips, closed his eyes, and said generously, “I want to… “

       After saying that, he was slapped on the buttocks again. He groaned and said the model words in embarrassment, “Master, I want…”

       Next, the man’s slender fingers touched his full sac, deliberately scratching his genitals and said, “Tell me your identity.”

       “I am your slave.” He blurted out with almost no hesitation.

       “Tell me your rights.”

       “As a slave, I don’t have any rights. My rights can only come from what you give. Ugh…” His c0ck was suddenly held, making him raise his neck impatiently.

       “Tell me about your obligations.”

       “…Ah, haah…” The hand wrapped the rod and moved up and down. The increasing pleasure made him almost speechless, “My duty is…to make you…happy…”

       “Very good.” The man chuckled, “Now call me louder, and I’ll let you cum when I’m satisfied.”

       The oppression and control of his body made the feeling of being dominated stronger, and the teasing words in his ears made his heart tremble and unable to control himself. Chu Yunhan couldn’t hold it back any longer and moaned wildly. In the end, he reached a climax in the pleasure of being attacked from both sides.

       After untying the rope, he only felt that his left leg was sore and numb, and his right leg was weak. He lay on the bed for a while. He wanted to force himself to get up and take a shower, but he couldn’t stand firmly and almost fell down. Chu Yichen stretched out his hand to support him and said, “Lie down and let me massage you.”

       Two people were on the bed, one lying naked and the other concentrating on massaging the other’s legs.

       The atmosphere was extremely quiet, and some long-lost embarrassment suddenly arose.

       Chu Yunhan coughed dryly and said, “I’m really numb after being tied up for a long time.”

       “This kind of binding method, which is aimed at restraining the posture, puts a strong sense of oppression on the body. It will be better to switch to tortoise shell binding or upright binding.”

       He had not studied these things and did not know what postures ‘tortoise shell binding’ and ‘upright binding’ were, but in this experience, Chu Yunhan could feel the restraint, oppression, and even a sense of restraint brought by the binding. The sense of objectification made the feeling of being conquered, controlled and ravaged more intense, and the friction between the rope and the body made it easier to fall. Now that he thought about it, Chu Yichen had never used any of these on him before. At most, he had simply bound his hands and feet. This made him a little puzzled, and he blurted out, “Why haven’t you done this to me before?”

       This was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk about the past. The man was silent for a moment and said, “It is easy to have problems when the other party does not cooperate. The sub might get injured.”

       Chu Yunhan was stunned and said ‘Oh’. He glanced at the still bulging part of the man’s crotch and said nothing.

Chapter 82

       Zhan Weiguang arrived at the hospital in the afternoon. Zhan Weiyang hadn’t remembered to inform him, but Pei Qing had.

       When he came, Zhan Pengcheng had just woken up, so he sat by the bed, looked at Zhan Pengcheng, and said seriously, “Can you drink less?”

       Before Zhan Pengcheng spoke, Pei Qing, who was standing beside him, said, “Do you think your father wants to?”

       Zhan Weiguang turned around and said angrily, “He usually doesn’t drink less either!” After saying that, Zhan Weiguang also felt that his tone was too heavy. He stood up and silently helped Zhan Pengcheng tidy up the quilt.

       Zhan Pengcheng saw that Zhan Weiyang looked a little nervous, so he said to him, “Your gege is going to cry in anger.”

       “I didn’t!” Zhan Weiguang said with red eyes.

       Zhan Pengcheng said again, “Okay, okay. Dad will drink less in the future and not make my good son angry.”

       Zhan Weiguang frowned, “Don’t talk to me like that, I’m not Zhan Weiyang.”

       Since Zhan Weiguang came, Zhan Weiyang, who had been watching Zhan Pengcheng all night without sleeping, could go back to rest.

       Zhan Pengcheng urged Pei Qing to take Zhan Weiyang back to rest.

       Zhan Weiguang glanced at them and said, “Qing ge, you take Zhan Weiyang back, I’ll be here tonight.”

       Pei Qing nodded and said, “Then we’ll go back first.”

       Back home, Zhan Weiyang took a hot bath first. He felt fine before taking a bath, but after taking a bath, he couldn’t hold on. A strong drowsiness swept over him, and he almost fell asleep on the bed immediately.

       His hair was still wet, Pei Qing sat on the edge of the bed, let him lie on his lap, and blow dry his hair.

       Zhan Weiyang listened to the buzzing sound of the hair dryer and fell asleep halfway through the blow-drying process.

       Later, Pei Qing felt that Zhan Weiyang’s hair was dry, put the hair dryer aside, gently helped him up, and held him on his back on the bed.

       Zhan Weiyang never woke up.

       Pei Qing covered him with a quilt, then sat by the bed and looked at him quietly for a long time before getting up and leaving.

       Zhan Weiyang slept from the afternoon to the next morning.

       Pei Qing came to his room to see him around nine o’clock in the evening. He wanted to ask him if he was hungry or if he wanted to eat something, but when he saw that he had not woken up, he quietly left and closed the door.

       The next morning, Zhan Weiyang woke up from the bed after sleeping enough.

       He opened his eyes and didn’t know what time it was for a while. He only remembered that it was still bright when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was still bright.

       He was the only one in the room.

       Zhan Weiyang lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He raised his hand to scratch his messy hair and walked out of the room. He didn’t know where Pei Qing was, but subconsciously, he walked to the next room, stretched out his hand to turn the door, and looked inside.

       The curtains in the room were closed and the light was dim. A person could be seen lying on the bed.

       Zhan Weiyang walked over directly, took off his shoes, lifted Pei Qing’s quilt and crawled in.

       Pei Qing was actually tired too. Zhan Weiyang hadn’t slept all night, so he hadn’t slept either. He bought a plane ticket late at night, rushed to the airport, and took the earliest flight back. Last night, he also fell asleep as soon as he lay down in the room when he came back. It wasn’t until now, until Zhan Weiyang snuggling into his blanket, that he finally woke up.

       “Yangyang?” Pei Qing’s voice was slurred.

       Zhan Weiyang crawled into his arms and reached out to hug him.

       Pei Qing reluctantly opened his eyes and lowered his head. He kissed Zhan Weiyang’s forehead and said, “Awake?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Have you slept enough?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I think I have.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “You think you have slept enough? Do you want to confirm it again?”

       Zhan Weiyang asked, “How to confirm it?”

       Pei Qing said to him, “Close your eyes and sleep for a while.”

       Zhan Weiyang really closed his eyes, lay quietly for a while, then opened his eyes and said to Pei Qing with certainty, “I have slept enough.”

       Pei Qing sat up and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Let’s go and make breakfast for you.”

       Zhan Weiyang went to bed yesterday without even having dinner. He was very hungry now, so he followed Pei Qing to the kitchen.

       Auntie Luo was away these days, and there was nothing much to eat in the kitchen. Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang if he wanted to eat fried egg noodles.

       Zhan Weiyang came close to Pei Qing, nodded and said, “I want.”

 

       While cooking noodles, Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang, “Were you scared that day?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes, I was scared to death. I saw blood all over my father’s pillow, and I was so scared.”

       Pei Qing asked him again, “What about going to the hospital afterwards?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “They asked me to pay the bill and said they would arrange for me to be hospitalised.”

       Pei Qing put the cooked noodles into the bowl, put the fried egg on top, sprinkled chopped green onions, and asked, “Did you go alone?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I was so scared, but I was more afraid that my father would die.”

       “Your father will not die,” Pei Qing said.

       At this point, Zhan Weiyang suddenly became sad again. His eyes were red, and he sniffed, “I don’t dare to think about it. I’m just very scared.”

       Pei Qing put down her chopsticks, turned around to look at him, put his arms around his waist, and said, “No one is going to die. Your father will recover and be discharged soon.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yeah.”

       Pei Qing kissed his lips.

       After the two of them finished breakfast, Pei Qing drove Zhan Weiyang to the hospital. Zhan Weiguang also had breakfast in the hospital that morning. He helped Zhan Pengcheng go to the bathroom, came back and let Zhan Pengcheng lie down on the bed, then walked to the window and looked outside.

       The patient in the next bed was going to be discharged today. He packed up his things early in the morning and was just waiting for the doctor to check the room and complete the discharge procedures. At this time, the bed was empty.

       Zhan Weiguang didn’t sleep very well at night and stretched out by the window. Zhan Pengcheng’s mental state was getting better day by day. He was lying on the hospital bed, looking at Zhan Weiguang’s back, and suddenly asked, “Weiguang, why is Pei Qing so good to Yangyang?”

       Zhan Weiguang didn’t expect to hear this question. He paused for a moment and didn’t know how to answer. He hesitated for a while and said, “Because Zhan Weiyang is cute.”

       Zhan Pengcheng didn’t say anything.

       Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but look back at him.

       Zhan Pengcheng lay on his back in bed. In just two days, he looked like he had lost weight. He looked at the ceiling, his arms stretched out of the quilt, and the light blue blood vessels on them could be clearly seen. There was also an indwelling needle on the back of his right hand. He spoke with no strength in his voice, “I just think he’s being too nice. If Yangyang were a girl, I would probably worry about whether he had any thoughts about Yangyang.”

       Zhan Weiguang asked, “Isn’t it good if he’s nice to him?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “After all, he is not your aunt’s biological son. To put it bluntly, we have no blood relationship, not even distant relatives. When Yangyang was hospitalised before, he helped to keep watch. Now that I am hospitalised, he has come all the way here. I always feel that I owe him too many favours, which is not good.”

       When Zhan Pengcheng said these words, an idea suddenly popped up in Zhan Weiguang’s head. He wanted to say: Why don’t you give him your son to repay the favour. Of course, he didn’t say this, and he was terrified by his own idea.

Chapter 26

       Qian Xiaoke knew he had done something pretty stupid and had been feeling down about it for quite a while, but there wasn’t much he could do about it.

       “Don’t talk about me anymore,” Qian Xiaoke muttered, “I’m already very upset.”

       He curled his lips and squatted on the ground in frustration. He exuded an unmistakable air of melancholy.

       Jiang Tongyan looked down and watched Qian Xiaoke squatting and fiddling with a discarded rose someone had left on the side of the road.

       “Isn’t it dirty?”

       “Huh?” Qian Xiaoke looked up at him.

       Jiang Tongyan looked down at him, “Maybe the flower has been stuck with poop.”

       “… Jiang Tongyan, are you disgusting!” Qian Xiaoke suddenly felt that he was dirty.

       “I’m kindly reminding you not to touch anything.” Why is he like a child, so careless?

       Jiang Tongyan said, “By the way, isn’t the place you’re living in currently illegal? If you keep staying there, wouldn’t that make you a lawbreaker?”

       “Shh!” Qian Xiaoke quickly stood up and covered his mouth, “Can you stop saying stuff like that?”

       He was nearly scared to death! 

       Jiang Tongyan frowned, “Take your stinky hands away!”

       He couldn’t believe Qian Xiaoke had touched that dirty flower and then used the same hand to touch his mouth! Even someone without a germaphobe would lose their mind over this.  

       Qian Xiaoke reluctantly took his hand away, “Don’t yell, I’m scared.”

       “Why can’t I see that you’re scared?” Jiang Tongyan said, “If you’re so scared, why are you still living there? You’ve got some nerve.”

       “What else can I do? I’ve already paid the rent, the agent ran off, and we can’t find the landlord. What choice do I have?”

       Jiang Tongyan, who had lived a comfortable life, couldn’t quite comprehend Qian Xiaoke’s situation. He then said something that made Qian Xiaoke want to punch this rich guy in the head. 

       Jiang Tongyan said, “It’s just a bit of rent. What’s more important, money or safety? Don’t you have any sense?”

       “…” Qian Xiaoke was visibly displeased.

       Normally, Qian Xiaoke was a good-tempered, warm, and easygoing person who never argued with others. But Jiang Tongyan’s comment struck a nerve.

       “Jiang Tongyan, you are really not a good person.” Qian Xiaoke turned around and walked away. His back screaming: very angry, do not disturb.

       While Qian Xiaoke fumed, Jiang Tongyan remained clueless. 

       “What’s wrong? What’s wrong with what I say?” Jiang Tongyan followed, “What’s with your temper? You get angry when you disagree with me!”

       “My temper? Did you even listen to what you said? Is that a human language?” Qian Xiaoke’s face was full of unhappiness, and he looked back at Jiang Tongyan, “Do you know there is a saying called ‘Why not eat meat’?1This references an idiom from ancient Chinese history. It describes a tone-deaf remark from someone in privilege, similar to Marie Antoinette’s “Let them eat cake.” It conveys how disconnected a person is from the struggles of others. The question you just asked is practically the same thing.”

       Jiang Tongyan certainly was clueless, “What does it mean?”

       “Look it up yourself. I can’t be bothered to explain.” Qian Xiaoke shook his hand and walked away with a step that didn’t recognise his relatives.

       Qian Xiaoke left, and Jiang Tongyan followed closely behind him. While following him, he looked up the meaning of the sentence behind him.

       After checking, he began to reflect on himself and asked, “How much do you earn a month?”

       “After deducting the five social insurances and one housing fund, the actual salary is barely 3,000 yuan.”

       “How much is the monthly rent for your house?”

       “1,500 yuan.” Qian Xiaoke turned around, “Do you understand now?”

       “…I understand.” Jiang Tongyan was a little annoyed, thinking that what he had just said was simply stupid. “I’m sorry.”

       Qian Xiaoke was stunned.

       “Huh?” A few seconds later, his face was full of question marks, “What did you say just now?”

       Jiang Tongyan wasn’t the type to apologise easily. It wasn’t about pride—he simply rarely made mistakes. His earlier blunder was so elementary and was the first time in his life. It became a stumbling block even in his own mind.

       “Did you eat dinner tonight?”

       Qian Xiaoke hugged his bread tightly.

       “I’ll treat you to dinner.” Jiang Tongyan said, “Malatang, the kind that costs 36 yuan a bowl.”

       As the saying goes, “No reward without effort.”

       Qian Xiaoke remained cautious, suspecting Jiang Tongyan might want to poison him.

       “Why would you treat me to a meal for no reason?” Qian Xiaoke asked. “Didn’t I already say today’s session was a trial and totally free?” 

       Jiang Tongyan frowned, “What are you thinking? I’m… apologizing to you.”

       “Ah?” What? Qian Xiaoke didn’t understand him.

       “Didn’t I make you unhappy just now?” Jiang Tongyan said, “I’m treating you to a meal. I haven’t eaten yet, either.”

       After processing for a moment, Qian Xiaoke suddenly grinned. “For real?” 

       “If you don’t want to eat, forget it.” Jiang Tongyan thought to himself that it was lucky it was dark; otherwise, this brat would have noticed his face turning red—how embarrassing!

       “Eat, eat, eat!” This time it didn’t feel undeserved—Jiang Tongyan was expressing a sincere apology. If he didn’t accept, wouldn’t that mean he wasn’t willing to forgive him?

       Qian Xiaoke gave himself a sufficient reason.

       Jiang Tongyan sneered, “You shameless foodie!”

       Qian Xiaoke didn’t hear what he said and happily led him out of the neighbourhood.

       He was happy, and Jiang Tongyan was inexplicably happy too.

       Jiang Tongyan found that Qian Xiaoke seemed to have magic that could influence other people’s emotions. 

       It was pretty awesome.

       How did he do it?

       Jiang Tongyan also wanted to learn.

       The two of them walked out of the neighbourhood, and Qian Xiaoke said, “We’ve already eaten spicy hot pot today. It’s not good to eat it again, right?”

       Jiang Tongyan glanced at him sideways, thinking: I said I want to eat spicy hot pot because you like it. What’s wrong with you?

       But since he had already upset Qian Xiaoke earlier, Jiang Tongyan, not being the kind of person who intentionally stirs up trouble, spoke cautiously as he was trying to make amends. “So, what do you want to eat?”

       Qian Xiaoke looked around and then pointed to the barbecue stall on the side of the road.

       Jiang Tongyan frowned.

       “This…” He looked at the roadside stalls and was indeed somewhat sceptical about the sanitary conditions. Still, he had already upset Qian Xiaoke, so Jiang Tongyan spoke very cautiously, “Why this all of a sudden? Or… I noticed a pretty decent restaurant on the way here. How about we go there?”

       Qian Xiaoke didn’t want to; he just wanted to eat barbecue.

       When he passed by earlier to buy bread, he had already drooled over the place. He had resisted buying it then, but now that someone was treating him, he intended to eat it to his heart’s content.

       Qian Xiaoke twisted his little face and said, “I’m not going. I just want to eat this barbecue.”

       Those big meat skewers, just looking at it, made him feel good.

       He pulled Jiang Tongyan’s sleeve, “Chairman Jiang, let’s just eat this.”

       Qian Xiaoke also added, “The average cost per person won’t even exceed 50 yuan, I swear. I’ll control myself!”

       It wasn’t about the money, but that comment made Jiang Tongyan feel a little uncomfortable.

       He had never known Qian Xiaoke well before, so he thought that this guy was mentally abnormal and very troublesome. However, on the other hand, he had to admit that Qian Xiaoke was not a bad person. After all… he was willing to take responsibility for him.

       After what happened just now, Jiang Tongyan was suddenly moved by the poor guy’s hard work. It was not easy for him to live so lively with so little income.

       Fine. Let’s eat.

       I’ll sacrifice my life for you.

       Jiang Tongyan said, “Let’s go.”

       With that, he followed the cheering Qian Xiaoke to the slightly grimy barbecue stall, “Don’t hold back. Eat all you want. If you want, we could even rent out the whole stall.”

       Qian Xiaoke just laughed and didn’t think deeply about it.

       He thanked him repeatedly, then trotted to the barbecue stall. He then found an empty seat, sat down, and wiped the stool opposite obediently.

       “Chairman Jiang, sit down!” Qian Xiaoke was in a good mood when there was something delicious, and now he liked Jiang Tongyan.

       Jiang Tongyan was a little disgusted, and the smoke from the barbecue next to him drifted over, choking him and rolling his eyes.

       “Why do you have to go to this place when you don’t want to go to a good restaurant?”

       “It’s delicious,” Qian Xiaoke said, “You don’t understand, this kind of roadside stall has the best taste!”

       Jiang Tongyan thought: Well, I don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand.

       “And barbecue is something that you have to eat for the atmosphere.” Qian Xiaoke suddenly raised his hand and shouted to the boss, “Boss, order!”

       The boss came over with a plastic menu. Qian Xiaoke ordered a lot and handed it to Jiang Tongyan after ordering, “Chairman Jiang, do you want to add more?”

       “No, you can take care of it.”

       Qian Xiaoke laughed and decided to order these first and add more if it was not enough.

       “Chairman Jiang, do you know what you must have with barbecue?”

       “What?” Jiang Tongyan had hardly eaten it. With his status and position, he would go to high-end restaurants with an average cost of several thousand yuan per person!

       “Garlic!” Qian Xiaoke mysteriously grabbed a head of garlic from the table next to him and put it on the table for the two of them, “Also, ice-cold draft beer!”

       He stretched out his hand, “Chairman Jiang, give me 20 yuan.”

       “Huh?”

       “I’ll buy draft beer,” Qian Xiaoke said, “10 yuan a cup, it’s delicious!”

       Jiang Tongyan wanted to complain that he was stingy and didn’t even want to pay 20 yuan.

       But since he was treating, he had to pay.

       He gave Qian Xiaoke a hundred yuan and then watched the boy run away like a rabbit.

       When Qian Xiaoke returned, he was holding a large glass of draft beer in one hand, and the change was still in his palm.

       He put the draft beer on the table and returned the rest of the money to Jiang Tongyan.

       “Can this thing taste good?” Jiang Tongyan has drunk a lot of beer, but this is too cheap. 10 yuan for such a big cup, won’t it upset your stomach after drinking it?

       “It tastes good,” Qian Xiaoke said, “Try it.”

       In the autumn, the breeze was already quite cold at night. After a sip of iced draft beer, Jiang Tongyan got goosebumps.

       But!

       It tastes really good!

       Jiang Tongyan was very surprised, “Not bad.”

       “See! I told you, you rich people are ignorant!” Qian Xiaoke said, “In fact, not all expensive things are necessarily good, and not all cheap things are necessarily bad.”

       Jiang Tongyan actually thought that what Qian Xiaoke said at this moment carried a certain wisdom.

       “The quality of things in this world can’t always be measured by money,” Qian Xiaoke said with a faint smile, holding the large beer cup in both hands. He took a sip, leaving foam all over his mouth. “What suits you best is what’s truly good.”

Chapter 29

       The man’s kisses fell on his neck, collarbone, and Adam’s apple. It was dense and lingering, leaving reddish marks on his fair skin. The itchy feeling made him want to avoid it, but he couldn’t help but want more.

       The man’s hand touched his cheeks, side of the neck, and skin, lingering on the chest, kneading the already erect nipples, making them fuller and more beautiful. The man’s other hand reached under him, caressing his flat belly inch by inch, and grasped his c0ck that was raised high. Rubbing the sensitive hole at the front, the man’s nails scr4p3d the edge of the umbrella-shaped part repeatedly, rubbing lightly and hard at times, constantly teasing his desire.

       Lust grew from the depths of the bone marrow, oozing out bit by bit, forming a silent trickle, meandering through every strand of blood. Eventually, it gathered into an unstoppable torrent, crashing and raging inside the body, surging back and forth as if it was going to smash this body into pieces.

       The pleasure was like electricity, causing waves of shivers. The body had no strength and was trapped limply in the man’s arms. Every inch of his skin seemed to be on fire as if it was going to burn him up. His half-closed eyes became wet and watery, his vision became disorientated, and the world lost its outline. Even though he blocked his mouth with the back of his hand, he still couldn’t restrain his moans of shame. Mixed with the slow and rapid breathing, it became an even more terrifying accelerant, burning the desire even more intensely.

       The strings of reason were burned out, and the body succumbed to its original desires, forgetting the initial resistance, the entangled past, and each other’s identities.

       “Hmmn… Hurry up…”

       He couldn’t help but want to ask for more.

       “A little heavier… There… Ahn…”

       He didn’t want to worry about anything anymore; he just wanted to destroy this body completely.

       “Please…please…let me cum…”

       Unable to think anymore, he could only unconsciously say the pleading words according to the other party’s request.

       When desire was surging at its peak but unable to be vented, the man’s low, slightly hoarse voice echoed in his ears.

       —Be good and call me Master.

       —This is just a game—a game between you and me. Acknowledge this relationship, and you can have more fun. You want more, right?

       —Let’s try it once, okay? It’s just a title.

       —If you do it, you will be rewarded. You want to climax don’t you?

       Each whisper, soft and resonant like a chant, lured and bewitched the trapped prey, enticing it to lose itself entirely in the snare.

       The monster of desire dragged him hard towards the cave of the abyss. Chu Yunhan raised his face; the water in the corner of his eyes was stained with lust. His lips moved, and he finally gave up completely and softly spit out the word.

       “…Master.”

       “Very good.” The man kissed her forehead and said softly, “Slave, I allow you to cum.”

       That sentence, like a dust-covered secret spell, unlocked the magic sealed in the body, and surging desire burst out.

       At that moment, his mind went blank, and his body lost all feeling during the climax as if it had entered another space and turned into scattered and tiny atoms.

       It took a few seconds for the brain to start functioning again.

       The room was empty, and Chu Yunhan was lying on the bed motionless tiredly. There was a warm and sticky feeling on his hands. The disgust after the orga-m came back again, mixed with a deep feeling of powerlessness and loneliness.

       It had been two weeks since Chu Yichen used his hand to make him cum. Afterwards, he vowed not to go to the East Coast or contact the other party in the future. But the ever-increasing feeling of emptiness was about to make his determination begin to waver.

       How ridiculous.

       On such a colourful night suitable for hunting for women, he could only shut himself in the room and masturbate when his passion surged. And when he masturbated, he couldn’t help but think back to what Chu Yichen did to him that day.

       Every expression, every word, every kiss and touch.

       If there was only a physical and forced nostalgia for that man, why does the brain keep recalling these details?

       Is it the body or the mind that is addicted?

       Chu Yunhan picked up the pillow at hand and smashed it against the chandelier on the roof.

       “Son of a bitch…”

 

       In the rightmost room on the fourth floor of the East Coast. Chu Yunhan looked at the props in the cabinet with an awkward expression. His gaze fell on one of the huge purple-red di-dos. He picked it up and touched it. It was made of silicone and was not soft. If this thing were inserted into his body…he would feel terrified.

       “Which one do you like?” the man sitting on the sofa looked at the black-and-white writing in his hand and asked.

       “It’s not…” His face became hot. He threw the things back and muttered, “Have you not finished reading yet?”

       “I need to remember all of the items you ‘don’t accept,’ and that’s a lot.”

       Chu Yunhan blushed and stopped talking. He picked up a whip and played with it as if nothing had happened. He agreed to enter into a relationship with Chu Yichen. In order to restrain the other party’s behaviour, he solemnly refilled the information form and asked the man to sign it.

       After Chu Yichen read it, he signed his name and handed it to him, saying, “You can choose a safe word.”

       “Any type is okay?”

       “Avoid common words, and it’s best not to use words like ‘stop’ or ‘no’ that express rejection.”

       “Why?” As soon as he asked, he thought of the answer. He coughed in embarrassment, thought for a while and said, “Is it okay to use ‘Resign1it was supposed to be (投了, Touzi) or Throwing Stones/Resigning, but I opt for resign because it’s shorter and it had the closest meaning rather than throwing stones‘?”

       It was a term in Go that meant to concede the game by placing down the pieces in resignation.

       “Okay.”

       He confirmed again, “When I say ‘Resign’, you’ll stop whatever you’re doing?”

       “Yes. When you feel uncomfortable, you can say the safe word to stop the game. Is there anything else you want to ask?”

       “There is none left.”

       “Alright. I just signed off on all of your rights; now it’s time we discuss your obligations.” The man crossed his legs, watching him leisurely.

       Chu Yunhan was stunned for a moment and cursed ‘old fox’ in his heart. Then he remembered that he was three months older than that man, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He reluctantly said, “Just tell me.”

       “I need you to do three things. First, acknowledge your identity. During the session, I need you to acknowledge each other’s identities. I am the Dom; you are the Sub. I am the Master; you are the Slave. I am the dominant, and you are the one who submits. This is the basis of everything—if you can’t fully enter the role, it’ll be hard for you to find enjoyment in this.”

       “I understand.” He replied in a whisper. Since the last time he said ‘Master’, the pressure in his heart had eased a bit. After mentally accepting this kind of game, the conflict between the position of master and slave was no longer so strong.

       “Second, obey the rules. As a slave, you must obey all my orders in the game. If you fail to do so, you will be punished. The method of punishment is determined by me, and the degree is also determined by me.”

       He remembered the whipping he had received before and felt his bones were sore, so he reluctantly said “Oh”.

       “Third, stay dedicated.” Chu Yichen paused, “You don’t accept one-to-many relationships, so when there is a contractual relationship between us, I will not accept other subs. In the same way, as the master, I will not allow my slave to have an affair with anyone else. To be more clear, during our master-slave relationship, your body belongs only to me, and you are not allowed to have sexual relationships with anyone, including masturbation.”

       Chu Yunhan pursed his lips uncomfortably, “I understand.”

       “Okay.” The man raised his wrist to look at his watch, stood up, took off his dark blue suit, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, took a brown hard riding crop and stood in front of the sofa, saying, “Come here.”

       The commanding tone signalled the beginning of the game.

       There was a slight restlessness in his body. Chu Yunhan swallowed and walked slowly over.

       “In this room, without my permission, you must remain naked.” Chu Yichen said slowly, “I’ll give you one minute to remove your clothes.”

       Upon hearing this, he immediately started unbuttoning his coat. It reminded him of those times in the Chu family’s old house basement, something he’d grown accustomed to. Unfortunately, today, he’d worn a double-breasted Burberry trench coat with a belt tied in an elaborate knot by Lan Xin. Just getting it undone took a frustrating amount of time. The more anxious he became, the slower his hands moved. By the time he’d finished, he could already anticipate the punishment for taking too long and felt a preemptive sting. Hesitantly, he spoke up, “I… don’t know how to undo that …”

       The man looked at him with raised eyebrows.

       Chu Yunhan remembered that he was not allowed to speak, bit his lip and kept silent.

       Chu Yichen tapped the whip in his hand and said, “I taught you how to talk to me. Do you need me to use it to help you recall it?”

       He hesitated for a few seconds, then knelt down with a somewhat stiff movement. His voice was as light as a mosquito, “…Master.”

       The whip hit him, and it hurt.

       His face turned crimson. He lowered his head and barely amplified his voice, “…Master.” The whip was placed on his chin, raising his face. Chu Yunhan looked up at the person before him, his eyes trembling slightly.

       With one standing and the other kneeling, the distance between them made the feeling of oppression increase sharply. When he re-entered the game with a purer mentality, he was no longer obsessed with his sense of ‘self’. A different feeling seemed to arise between the two. It was as if the world’s axis had shifted and shifted to the man in front of him. As a subordinate, he was completely under the other party’s control.

       “Continue.”

       “…Master.”

       “Call until I’m satisfied.”

       “Master…”

       “Master!” His voice finally became clear, and he no longer hesitated.

       “Very good.” The tip of the whip slid across his Adam’s apple and moved downwards to tease the bulge on his chest. Chu Yichen’s dark eyes reflected the red-gold haze outside the window, “Do you want a reward?”

       Hearing this sentence, his body became increasingly restless. “I want to…” After he said it, he realised something was wrong and immediately added the title “Master.”

       “Lie down on the sofa and stick your butt up.”

       Chu Yunhan obeyed obediently. His fair skin was stained with a layer of reddish color due to shame and excitement.

       When the lubricated fingers penetrated from the secret hole behind him, he couldn’t help but gasp nervously, and the tunnel instinctively contracted to repel the intruding uninvited guest.

       “Relax.” He received a slap on the butt.

       “Hng…” He tried to slowly lower his waist and relax, shyly burying his head on the back of the sofa.

       A rubber di-do soaked in lubricant was inserted when it expanded enough to accommodate three fingers. The other party didn’t even choose a thick and violent type but randomly selected a medium vibrating model. However, after the switch was turned on, he gained pleasure easily and quickly set off a climax.

       Chu Yunhan gasped unbearably. His master had not yet given the order to ejaculate, so he could only hold back.

       He felt he was possessed.

       He had tried doing it with other people—tried letting others insert the vibrator or inserting the vibrator himself, but it never felt so fast or so strong. It seemed that this body only became so sensitive and lost control so easily under Chu Yichen’s control.

       “Master, I’m begging you… I can’t bear it anymore…” Under that man’s control, he could only beg for mercy.

       “‘You’?” The whip struck the white and tender buttocks mercilessly, instantly staining them with a rouge.

       “Ahn— Please… Master… Hngh…” Chu Yunhan was in pain and hurriedly changed his words, with a cry in his voice.

       “Tell me your identity.” Chu Yichen said solemnly.

       “…Slave, Hngh… Ahng—” He was whipped.

       “I want to hear the standard answer.”

       “I’m your slave. Ah— It hurts…” He was whipped again.

       “Don’t you remember?”

       “…Master, hngh… I am your slave.” This time, he was finally right. He trembled and sobbed, “Please… I can’t help it anymore…”

       His hair was gently pulled back, and his chin was lifted. The man’s handsome face was magnified in front of his blurred by tears eyes. Before the man’s warm lips touched his, Chu Yunhan heard his soft and pleasant voice.

       “Slave, you can cum.”

       The world had fallen into a vivid, kaleidoscopic dream.

Chapter 81

       Zhan Weiyang was terrified.

       He first stared blankly and frozen in place for a few seconds. Then, when he saw Zhan Pengcheng vomiting blood, he rushed to the bed, slapped Zhan Pengcheng’s face with his hand, and shouted loudly, “Dad! Dad!” He wanted to wake Zhan Pengcheng up.

       Zhan Pengcheng groaned as if in pain.

       Zhan Weiyang was trembling with fear. He tried to cover Zhan Pengcheng’s mouth with his hand, but his palm soon became sticky and hot. When he retracted his hand, tears came out of his eyes.

       He stood up, turned around in place, and took out his mobile phone from his pyjama pocket without caring about the blood on his hands.

       Zhan Weiyang called Pei Qing. While waiting for the call to be connected, he kept stamping his feet in place, unable to control the slight trembling of his body.

       Fortunately, Pei Qing answered the phone. Her voice was unclear as if he had been woken up from a deep sleep, “Yangyang?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “My father vomited blood.”

       Pei Qing’s voice suddenly became clear, “Are you two at home? Is Uncle sober?”

       Zhan Weiyang cried, “He’s drunk.”

       Pei Qing immediately said, “Call 120, dear, hurry up.” He didn’t know the specific situation on Zhan Weiyang’s side, but when he heard Zhan Weiyang crying, he knew that Zhan Pengcheng’s condition must not be very good. If he asked in detail, it would probably take up too much time, so his first reaction was to ask Zhan Weiyang to call an ambulance.

       After that, Pei Qing was worried that Zhan Weiyang would not be able to explain clearly, so he said, “I’ll call 120 for you too. I’ll hang up first and call you back later.”

       Then Zhan Weiyang heard Pei Qing hang up the phone. He still remembered what Pei Qing said and dialled 120 with his mobile phone.

       While waiting for the ambulance, Pei Qing called Zhan Weiyang again.

       Pei Qing asked about Zhan Pengcheng’s condition and told Zhan Weiyang, “Don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m so scared.”

       Pei Qing said, “Don’t be afraid. When the ambulance comes, you will go with it to the hospital, do you have money? Do you have any money? If the doctor asks you to pay, you pay, got it? I bought the earliest air ticket and will be back with you tomorrow morning.”

       Zhan Weiyang seemed not to hear Pei Qing’s words. He kept squatting beside the bed and staring at Zhan Pengcheng with his eyes wide open. His breathing was about to stop for fear that Zhan Pengcheng would spit out blood from his mouth again.

       He didn’t remember when he hung up the phone with Pei Qing. When the ambulance came, he stumbled and climbed into the car. He sat with the medical staff in fear and anxiety. He forgot to wear his coat and didn’t have time to change his shoes. Fortunately, when he was about to leave, the neighbourhood security guard who came in with the ambulance reminded him to lock the door.

       The emergency hall of the hospital was still crowded with people late at night. Zhan Pengcheng was sent to the emergency room to stop the bleeding.

       Zhan Weiyang followed behind at a loss and kept hearing a buzzing sound in his ears. The emergency doctor handed him a few receipts, asked him to pay the bills, and said that he would arrange hospitalization for Zhan Pengcheng.

       The doctor saw Zhan Weiyang take the bills but didn’t say anything and couldn’t help asking, “Is the patient your father?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       The doctor asked again, “What about your mother?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I don’t know.”

       The doctor was a little worried about him, but at this time, the nurse was urging him outside again, so the doctor had to leave in a hurry. Before leaving, he said to him, “You’d better ask your family to come over. Your father’s brothers and sisters will do.”

       But Zhan Weiyang didn’t know who to call. Grandma and Auntie Luo were not there, and Pei Qing and Zhan Weiguang went back to school; he didn’t know his father’s friends, and his father’s brothers and sisters were not in this city.

       Zhan Weiyang stood there holding the receipts in his hand and heard the buzzing sound in his head getting stronger and stronger. He felt scared, just like when he thought he was about to turn into a tree, and his whole body fell into an uncontrollable panic.

       He suddenly wanted to find a place to hide.

       Zhan Weiyang stared at a pot of green plants in the corner of the emergency room. He envied the plant because he only needed to stand quietly without thinking or doing anything. The white light above his head shone down, and Zhan Weiyang felt that he was actually a fortune tree at that moment. His head was empty and blank, and everything around him became farther and farther away.

       At this moment, Zhan Weiyang heard something in his ear. It was not very real, but it was faintly hitting his eardrum.

       He didn’t understand what the sentence meant, but he heard the name ‘Zhan Pengcheng’.

       Who is Zhan Pengcheng? Zhan Weiyang felt a headache. He remembered that Zhan Pengcheng was his father, and then someone repeated the sentence, and the meaning gradually became clear. Zhan Weiyang heard the sentence, “Who is Zhan Pengcheng’s family member?”

       The person who shouted was a nurse with a loud voice and an urgent tone.

       Zhan Weiyang was like being suddenly pulled back to reality from a dream. Everything around him became noisy and vivid again, and those blurred figures began to become clear.

       He recalled his father lying on the bed, vomiting blood. He was afraid that his father would die, so he called an ambulance and followed the ambulance to the hospital.

       The nurse shouted again, “Who is Zhan Pengcheng’s family member?”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his hand that was holding the document and hurriedly replied, “I am his son!” He couldn’t let his father die.

       Pei Qing rushed to the hospital near noon when Zhan Pengcheng had already been admitted to the gastroenterology ward.

       He only brought a simple travel bag and walked into the ward in a hurry. He was too worried about Zhan Weiyang. He still remembered Zhan Weiyang’s panicked cry and was afraid that Zhan Weiyang would not be able to deal with the current predicament.

       In the end, when he walked into the ward’s door, he saw Zhan Weiyang sitting next to Zhan Pengcheng’s bed and eating.

       Zhan Pengcheng had woken up. He was lying on his side, with one hand stretched out of the quilt and receiving an infusion. He was pale but kept his eyes open and looked at Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t notice Pei Qing. He was holding a paper lunch box and disposable chopsticks. He took a bite of rice and stopped, saying to Zhan Pengcheng, “The doctor said you can’t eat.”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded and said weakly, “Dad will just watch you eat.”

       Pei Qing noticed that Zhan Pengcheng’s eyes were red when he finished speaking.

       Zhan Pengcheng then noticed Pei Qing and asked in surprise, “Why are you here?” He thought Zhan Weiguang would be the first to come back.

       Zhan Weiyang turned his head back suddenly and shouted, “Qing ge.”

       Pei Qing walked in, put her hand on Zhan Weiyang’s shoulder, patted his face, and said, “Eat the meal first, dear.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him for a while, then sat down and continued to eat the greasy lunch box.

       Pei Qing stood by the bed and talked to Zhan Pengcheng. Zhan Pengcheng was too weak and fell asleep not long after talking.

       After finishing his meal, Zhan Weiyang took out his lunch box and threw it into the big trash can at the end of the corridor. When he returned to the room, he met the nurse who was changing the medicine for Zhan Pengcheng.

       The new medicine was in a full bottle, and it would take a long time to finish the infusion.

       The ward was a double ward, with a curtain in the middle, so they couldn’t see each other.

       Zhan Weiyang walked to Pei Qing and suddenly remembered something and asked softly, “Have you eaten?”

       Pei Qing didn’t have time to eat, but he still said, “I have eaten. You don’t have to worry about me.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded and looked at Zhan Pengcheng, who was soundly sleeping.

       Pei Qing suddenly reached out and hugged him, saying, “Are you scared?”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly raised his hand, hugged Pei Qing’s waist tightly, nodded, buried his face in his chest, and didn’t want to lift it up for a long time.

       Pei Qing pressed his neck with one hand and said, “It’s okay, gege is back.”

       Zhan Weiyang said softly, “En.”
