Heavy blackout curtains blocked the daylight, and the room was darkish.

A number of garments, condoms, and a torn pink streamer have been thrown on the bottom. The tip of the streamer was tied in a useless knot and was reduce within the center.

Lu Xiao solely wore a pair of pajama pants, his again muscle groups have been coated with scratches, and he slept unconsciously whereas hugging a white quilt. Ye Cheng swept away the quilt, not protecting Lu Xiao in any respect. He even dragged half of it on the bottom, and some black hairs have been uncovered below the quilt.

The 2 have been woke up by the ringing of the telephone.

Ring, ring, ring.

Ye Cheng coated the quilt even tighter and utterly hid.

His cellphone saved ringing, deafening and loud.

Lu Xiao acquired up along with his messy hair, put it in his ear, and mentioned with a grumpy face, “You get up so early within the morning?

Music Haoran on the opposite finish was frightened, and it took a very long time earlier than he whispered, “It’s half previous ten… Is Ye Cheng there? Instructor Sixiu named him.”

Lu Xiao yawned and mentioned, “Come on and assist, he gained’t deduct factors.”

“Hey?” Music Haoran was confused.

Lu Xiao hung up the telephone and fell down once more, half mendacity on the quilt.

Too sleepy.

They didn’t go to mattress till almost seven o’clock and have been woke up simply after closing their eyes.

Ye Cheng was utterly unconscious below the quilt and slept groggily till the afternoon.

He underestimated the insanity of a male faculty pupil. Final evening, Lu Xiao appeared to have eaten an entire field of what, urgent him from the mattress to the chair, from the bath to the mirror, from the floor-to-ceiling window, and again to the mattress.

That poor pink streamer grew to become a software to bind his fingers.

By the top, Ye Cheng’s voice was hoarse, and he pushed in opposition to his shoulder and mentioned no. Lu Xiao hugged him intimately to take a bathe, after which got here once more through the bathe.

The 2 additionally stopped for a second within the center, however so long as they appeared into one another’s eyes and talked, they couldn’t assist however entangle once more.

Ye Cheng solely felt that his bones have been about to collapse, and as quickly as he touched the pillow, he misplaced consciousness.

When he opened his eyes softly and tiredly, what caught his eye was Lu Xiao’s face mendacity on his pillow. Lu Xiao put his hand below his chin and stared at him so intently that he didn’t know the way lengthy he’s been doing it.

“What time is it?” Ye Cheng rubbed his brows, solely to understand that his voice was as hoarse as a handful of sand.

Lu Xiao stretched out his hand to assist him press, and the gentle pads of his fingers gently brushed his eyebrows and temples.

“Three o’clock,” he mentioned.

Ye Cheng all of a sudden widened his eyes and sat up from the mattress.

This motion concerned someplace, and he couldn’t assist however let loose a “hiss” in ache.

“It’s over, I’ve Lao Yang’s class right this moment.” He lifted the quilt and ready to get off the bed, “Outdated Yang likes to name names.”

Lu Xiao simply pressed him again, and mentioned with a smile, “I requested him for depart, and he mentioned that subsequent time I’d invite him to eat beef noodles from the cafeteria as compensation.”

Ye Cheng stopped and checked out him surprisingly: “Wouldn’t or not it’s unusual so that you can ask for depart for me?”

“I mentioned you have been my cousin.” Lu Xiaoxin mentioned nonsense, “Let me see in case your shoulders are higher.”

He turned Ye Cheng round and touched the rose on his shoulder along with his fingers.

Happily, he remembered to take the drugs earlier than going to mattress, in any other case, he wouldn’t have the ability to watch it right this moment.

Ye Cheng averted it as a result of it’s itchy, turned his again to him, and mentioned, “Lu Xiao, don’t do that subsequent time.”

He didn’t say which, however they each knew it.

It’s an excessive amount of to do it so many occasions, and he’ll have to clarify it right here just a few extra occasions.

Lu Xiao pretended to not perceive, and wrapped his arms round him from behind: “What?

Ye Cheng grabbed his wiggly hand and mentioned angrily, “Lu Xiao!”

“Tsk, that’s not what you mentioned final evening.” Lu Xiao checked out him up and down, “Why do you flip over your face once you put in your pants? Oh no, you haven’t put in your pants but.”

Ye Cheng threw off his hand and tried to climb off the bed.

Lu Xiao dragged him again, like dragging a toy, hugged him in his arms, and coaxed in a low voice, “Okay, I gained’t tease you anymore, I’ll take you to clean, don’t transfer round by your self.”

Ye Cheng blushed: “Are you sick?”

Lu Xiao actually appeared to be taking good care of a doll. He brushed his enamel and washed his face along with his personal fingers, purchased breakfast, and fed him one chunk at a time. A posture that’s held within the palm of the hand and is afraid of falling, and is afraid of being melted within the mouth.

This wasn’t probably the most terrifying factor, and what was much more terrifying was that he was as sticky as if he had no bones for the remainder of the day. Throughout class, he sat on the aspect and stared at Ye Cheng. He grew to become impatient when he stared at Ye Cheng, and whispered to him, “Are you able to cease me? The instructor has checked out you many occasions.”

Lu Xiao held his face, his expression was pure and delightful, not just like the satan who fucked him all evening final evening.

He lastly retracted his gaze and requested the woman in entrance of him to borrow a post-it notice and write along with his head down.

Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of reduction and continued to take notes.

A couple of seconds later, Lu Xiao pasted the pink post-it notice on the again of his hand with solely two phrases: mine.

He nonetheless remembers that when he was a baby earlier than Lu Xiao had eaten spicy noodles, he had no real interest in this unparalleled delicacy. Later, when he ate it as soon as by probability, he knew the style of the marrow, and he ate it each day. Then he was educated by Mrs. Wang, saying that it was unhealthy and wouldn’t enable him to eat it. Because of this, Lu Xiao acquired uncontrolled and sometimes secretly ate behind her again.

There are two issues which can be most taboo, one is to know the style of the marrow, and the opposite is to not enable him to do that.

With these two factors, Ye Cheng stepped on the landmine.

After Lu Xiao tasted it as soon as, he grew to become an increasing number of connected to him, wishing to stay collectively anytime, wherever. Ask him out on weekends, and he will certainly not have the ability to get off the bed the following day.

For well being causes, Ye Cheng made a rule to reside with him solely at some point every week.

The consequence is that on at the present time, he must make up the remaining six days of debt.

Till one morning, he answered a name from Lu Zhanyang.

Lu Zhanyang instantly mentioned: “Oh, niece, how come your voice is like this?”

Ye Cheng used his saliva and moistened his throat somewhat.

He struggled too onerous final evening. In Lu Xiao’s phrases, he was so squeamish that he would let loose a skinny scream when he touched him.

“Cough, cousin, is one thing incorrect?” he requested.

Lu Zhanyang crossed his legs, waved his hand to drive Xiaoqing’er away, and taught him, “It’s not good to be too indulgent, that boy Lu Xiao is absolutely fortunate.”

Ye Cheng robotically ignored the inconsistency of his two sentences and requested once more: “Is one thing incorrect?”

Lu Zhanyang mentioned unhurriedly: “You guys are about to take the ultimate examination. Are you going to return to Nandu collectively after the examination? Simply because the previous man is again, I’ll go see him.”

Ye Cheng was surprised for a second and all of a sudden remembered that it was time for the previous man to return to China for the second time.

Within the earlier life, Lu Xiao dropped out of college for greater than a 12 months, and Lu Jinnan got here again from overseas to mediate for him.

After Lu Jinnan returns to China this time, he is not going to exit once more.

He has slowly transferred his fundamental business again and plans to retire in China.

Nevertheless, Ye Cheng considered one other query——

Lu Jinnan all the time felt that Lu Xiao was rebellious and wanted a lady to restrain him with a view to change his violent temperament. So within the first 12 months Lu Xiao went overseas, he started to seek out blind dates. Later, Ye Cheng heard from the Lu household that yearly when Lu Xiao returned to China, he can be compelled to fulfill just a few well-known women.

A couple of years later, Lu Xiao met him, and Lu Jinnan stopped letting him see his blind date.

Ye Cheng’s hand clenched his telephone tightly, questioning if Lu Jinnan would repeat the identical trick after they returned to Nandu.

“Nephew-in-law, nephew-in-law?” Lu Zhanyang known as him twice, “No, aren’t you nervous, are you anxious about seeing the previous man?”

Ye Cheng mentioned helplessly: “To let you know the reality, I’m fairly anxious.”

Lu Zhanyang smiled and mentioned, “That’s good, you invite me to dinner, and I’ll let you know what sort of particular person the previous man likes…”

Earlier than he completed talking, Ye Cheng’s cell phone was taken away.

Lu Xiao mentioned, “You fuck your self.” Then he hung up the telephone rudely.

“Are you afraid of my grandfather?” he requested Ye Cheng.

On the final household gathering, Ye Cheng didn’t get in shut contact with the previous man, nor did he say a phrase to him.

In reality, Ye Cheng wasn’t anxious about this, as a result of other than Lu Xiao, he was most likely the one who knew the previous man probably the most. The aged wish to drink Taiping Houkui, like fishing, enjoying chess, and watching others ski. Sure, he all the time likes to let Ye Cheng document movies of snowboarding or bungee leaping for him, however he by no means goes into battle in particular person. Additionally likes elevating birds of prey.

The rationale why Lu Jinnan admired Ye Cheng in his final life was first as a result of his mentor was an previous good friend of him, and second due to his excellent enterprise means within the firm. Now that Ye Cheng didn’t study from his earlier mentor, and he didn’t be part of the corporate, he actually had no thought the place to start out. If he simply begin along with his preferences, it’s going to seem to be you’ve got inquired about him upfront, which is much more rude.

Lu Xiao pinched his face: “Because you don’t prefer it, you then gained’t see him, simply smile and don’t be sullen.”

“I don’t see any use proper now, I’ve to get in contact.” Ye Cheng laughed.

Lu Xiao mentioned, “I’ll take the cash and elope with you. I don’t care about these powerful guys.”

Ye Cheng burst right into a smile: “Don’t be too willful, didn’t you say that there’s something you’ll be able to’t do, I’ll assist you to test it out.”

Lu Xiao took out the homework for “Western Economics” from his schoolbag, checked out him admiringly, and mentioned, “Spouse, how are you going to know every little thing? Even trying on the monetary statements.”

“These are the fundamentals. You need to hearken to the category rigorously so that you simply don’t must study it later once you be part of the corporate.” Ye Cheng mentioned.

Lu Xiao nodded obediently.

Ye Cheng knew very effectively how troublesome it was for President Lu again then. In probably the most simple phrases, all of the money owed he owed needed to be repaid.

It was unimaginable for Lu Jinnan at hand over such an enormous household enterprise to a enterprise novice, so at first, somebody took him to do it. At the moment, Lu Xiao was utterly illiterate and had no different strengths apart from fooling individuals. A lot in order that after Ye Cheng took over the inner affairs, he discovered that Mr. Lu was actually aggrieved, and he didn’t know what number of previous fritters with depraved hearts stumbled him.

Together with his help, Lu Xiao regularly improved.

When he actually took energy, the very first thing he did was to put off individuals who weren’t his confidants.

Ye Cheng didn’t need him to repeat such onerous work sooner or later, so he strictly grasped his basis.

“Look rigorously on the demand curve…” Whereas explaining, he checked out Lu Xiao, however noticed him photographing himself along with his cell phone.

“What are you doing?” Ye Cheng requested inexplicably.

Lu Xiao mentioned solemnly, “Take a photograph of what you taught me and ship it to my grandfather. He likes teachers probably the most. Go forward and ignore me.”

Ye Cheng: “…”
