Chapter 97: Childhood Sweetheart Route – Extra (8)
Zhao Yuheng paused the video and tossed it back to Zhao Ci.
Zhao Ci was so frightened he didn’t dare breathe. In his mind, Shen Shuyi, his “sweetheart brother,” was more terrifying than his own brother.
No, he was even more terrifying than Shen Shuyi’s parents!
“Why are you back so early?” Shen Shuyi asked, snapping out of his daze.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt like an idiot.
Zhao Ci had already asked him the exact same question.
Shen Shuyi shut his mouth, feeling like the paper doll in the video, completely dumbfounded.
Fortunately, Zhao Yuheng didn’t expose him.
“Do you have class this afternoon?”
Shen Shuyi shook his head.
Zhao Yuheng picked up Shen Shuyi’s schoolbag and said, “I’ll take you home? I’ll cook you something delicious, what do you want to eat?”
Zhao Ci jumped, immediately clinging to his leg: “Brother! Can I skip class with you? I don’t want to stay in the classroom anymore!”
Shen Shuyi thought, how could that be? He and Zhao Yuheng had been separated for so long, and there were so many things he wanted to say. If Zhao Ci came over, wouldn’t he become a third wheel?
Shen Shuyi was actually quite pretentious in front of Zhao Ci, maintaining his aloof persona.
The thought of clinging to Zhao Yuheng and acting cute, only to be seen by Zhao Ci…
Would he still be able to hold his head high in front of Zhao Ci afterward?
“No, get out! You stay in the classroom!”
Shen Shuyi decisively refused him.
Even from a distance, he could still hear Zhao Ci’s heartbroken roar: “Shen Shuyi, you’re a womanizer, you little pervert!”
Shen Shuyi remained expressionless; as long as he didn’t hear it, Zhao Ci’s attack was ineffective.
He glanced sideways at Zhao Yuheng, his heart skipping a beat. He wondered if Zhao Yuheng had heard him.
Actually, many people had teased him about his relationship with Zhao Yuheng before.
Back in seventh grade, Shen Shuyi, because of his striking good looks, was jokingly called Zhao Yuheng’s little wife.
At that time, he was too naive to understand the meaning.
When he went to Zhao Yuheng’s class to find him, people would shout, “Yuheng, your little wife is here again!”
Shen Shuyi was quite pleased.
Later, as he grew older, he understood the meaning, but seeing that Zhao Yuheng didn’t seem to care, he didn’t care about other people’s gossip either.
Sometimes, Lin Yiqiong would tease him about wanting to be Zhao Yuheng’s wife when he was in kindergarten. Shen Shuyi didn’t care at all. Occasionally, when he didn’t want to brush his teeth at night, he would roll around in bed, yelling “Husband, husband!” at Zhao Yuheng, trying to get him to carry him to the bathroom.
These intimate actions seemed normal to Shen Shuyi.
They had lived like this for almost fifteen years.
—Until today, when Zhao Ci showed him that pornographic film.
Shen Shuyi was speechless.
Why did he have to watch that lousy movie! Now he doesn’t even know how to talk to Zhao Yuheng anymore!
And, there are countless Japanese movies, why did he have to choose one with a female lead named “Xiao Shuyi”? What the hell, Xiao Shuyi?
“Just now,” Shen Shuyi said, “Zhao Ci showed it to me, I didn’t want to watch it myself.”
“I know,” Zhao Yuheng said, carrying his backpack, “You don’t even know where to find this, do you?”
This was a bit of a challenge to Shen Shuyi’s male pride.
“What do you mean?” Shen Shuyi immediately asked, “Do you know where to find these?”
“Bear it.” Shen Shuyi was shocked.
“You really know?”
“Yes.” Zhao Yuheng spoke in the calmest tone, as if saying something completely ordinary: “What’s so difficult about that?”
“No!” Shen Shuyi exploded, “You’re with me every day, when did you find out where to find these things? No, have you already watched them behind my back? Zhao Yuheng, why didn’t you take me with you to see this?! I’m angry!!”
Shen Shuyi suddenly jumped onto him.
Zhao Yuheng carried him steadily, without even swaying.
It’s normal for a guy to know how to find resources.
Besides, could he tell him?
He didn’t want to watch it with Shen Shuyi because he felt awkward.
He always felt that Shen Shuyi and his friends in class weren’t the same kind of creatures.
Watching porn in front of Shen Shuyi gave him the feeling of being a pervert towards his girlfriend. Zhao Yuheng quickly shook off this bizarre thought, but Shen Shuyi had already latched onto him.
“No way, Zhao Yuheng, you have to watch it with me! You must have watched it with someone else, you gave away your precious first time!” Shen Shuyi yelled.
The two walked in, and the housekeeper, Chen, nearly dropped the showerhead in shock upon hearing this.
Faced with Shen Shuyi’s blatant shamelessness, Zhao Yuheng was speechless: “Shen Shuyi, has your Chinese deteriorated?”
“I don’t care! I’m your best friend, your absolute best buddy, your absolute best brother! You watched it with others, but you didn’t watch it with me!”
“Then what about your first time?” Zhao Yuheng suddenly stopped, lifting Shen Shuyi from his clingy position to holding him up, then looked him in the eye: “Wasn’t it Zhao Ci?”
“…” Why does this sound so awkward?
“No way.” Shen Shuyi guiltily looked away: “You interrupted me just now. If you’re going to go by that, then it’s just a threesome.”
Even more bizarre.
Zhao Yuheng pinched his brow and said, “Alright. Let’s leave this topic at that. What do you want to eat? I’ll go to the kitchen and make it for you now.” Shen Shuyi clung to him, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when he asked, “Did you hear anything just now…?” Zhao Yuheng knew what he wanted to ask and said helplessly, “I didn’t hear anything, and I didn’t see anything either.”
“The movie in your classroom was so loud, how could I hear Zhao Ci’s phone volume?”
Shen Shuyi had always been a picky eater, and Zhao Yuheng had been studying cooking techniques since middle school, and now he was a seasoned chef.
The aroma wafting from the kitchen already whetted Shen Shuyi’s appetite.
Zhao Yuheng never let anyone else touch his food; this strange possessiveness had been with him since childhood, and no one could explain it.
Shen Shuyi floated over and saw some freshly cooked food on the counter. His cat-like paws reached out to grab it.
“Careful, it’s hot. Grab chopsticks.” Zhao Yuheng knew what he was doing without even turning his head.
“Oh.” Shen Shuyi blinked. “I don’t want to get them, the chopsticks are too far away.”
“Just a few steps away, right?” Zhao Yuheng said, but there was no response.
He turned around, and Shen Shuyi looked like he was waiting to be fed.
Zhao Yuheng chuckled, then picked up the chopsticks himself, picked up some food, and fed it to him.
Shen Shuyi, expecting to be fed, kept peeking out and making things difficult for Zhao Yuheng as he chewed.
“The kitchen is too oily, let’s wait outside for food.”
“Hmm~ no.” Shen Shuyi pouted. “I want more. Feed me another bite!”
“Don’t complain you’re full before the food is even on the table.”
“Oh!” Shen Shuyi said, “This is my usual routine.”
“…” You do have some self-awareness.
Zhao Yuheng suddenly put down the ladle, turned around, wrapped his arms around Shen Shuyi’s waist, picked him up, and lifted him up a couple of times. Shen Shuyi froze, completely stunned, before finally speaking, “What are you doing?”
“Checking how much weight I’ve gained.” Zhao Yuheng weighed him again, and Shen Shuyi almost wrapped his legs around his waist.
“You can tell that?” Shen Shuyi questioned him.
“Half a pound less,” Zhao Yuheng said. “Didn’t you eat properly at home?”
“How could that be!”
Damn, he actually found out!
Zhao Yuheng had been abroad for a week, and Shen Shuyi had been like a wildcat at home, completely unruly, basically skipping meals and living on snacks every day.
Shen Shuyi’s weight was already on the thinner side for a boy his age, and to lose half a pound on such a small base showed just how much he was eating.
“Are you some kind of human weight analyzer? You can even tell this?”
“How could I not tell?” Zhao Yuheng slapped his butt: “Get down. Eat more later, I’ll be watching your diet this week.”
“…” Zhao Yuheng came back early today; Zhuang Xinrou was still in Beijing, not back in Hong Kong.
Since Lin Yiqiong and Shen Shizhang entrusted full custody of Shen Shuyi to Zhao Yuheng, the couple has rekindled their dating days, flying all over the world on their honeymoon.
Every time Shen Shuyi refreshed his WeChat Moments, it was dominated by his mother, all beautiful photos.
After dinner, Shen Shuyi returned to Zhao Yuheng’s room.
While the other was doing homework, Shen Shuyi had already showered.
He was going to watch a horror movie with Zhao Yuheng tonight, and was currently kicking Zhao Yuheng at his desk, urging him to hurry up and shower too.
By the time they both finished showering, it was already nine o’clock at night.
Zhao Yuheng wanted to read for a while, but the cat had already started causing trouble, lying on his desk and throwing all his books into the drawer.
“You promised to watch a movie with me!” Shen Shuyi stared at him, bringing up the matter again: “And I didn’t even ask you to watch that kind of movie with me, just a horror movie.”
“Fine.” Zhao Feng sighed helplessly: “You’re bad at it but love watching it. You’ll be so scared you can’t sleep tonight, don’t make me carry you to the bathroom.”
“Hehe.” Shen Shuyi had already quickly arrived at the sofa in the media room—Zhao Yuheng’s room was a suite, and the media room was a partitioned-off area of ??a large balcony, with floors on three sides and a height of two or three meters, perfect for watching movies and playing games. Shen Shuyi had a special fondness for this room.
Shen Shuyi had already rolled around on the sofa, surrounded by all his favorite foods.
He giggled: “Then I’ll pee on your bed!” Zhao Yuheng pulled him over to sit down, saying nonchalantly, “Let him pee, it’s not like it’s the first time.”
He made the joke casually.
After entering high school, Shen Shuyi finally understood what the so-called “bedwetting” meant.
Zhao Yuheng’s joke wasn’t inappropriate; in the past, Shen Shuyi would have definitely beaten him up with a pillow.
Then yelled, “You wet the bed too! What right do you have to laugh at me!”
But today, Shen Shuyi had a problem.
After watching the short film Zhao Ci recommended, something went wrong.
That line, “Brother, wants more,” was like brainwashing, echoing in his mind for days.
After struggling for a while, he finally managed to utter, “…Oh. That’s all…dark history from many years ago. You still remember?”
He didn’t know how to respond to Zhao Yuheng’s joke!
…Only two or three years ago?
Zhao Yuheng raised an eyebrow, sensing that Shen Shuyi was acting strangely today.
Zhao Yuheng coughed lightly and turned on the projector: “What do you want to watch?” Shen Shuyi pulled his cushion up a little, covering his slightly flushed cheeks.
Was the heating on too high today? Why did he feel so hot?
“…Anything,” Shen Shuyi said.
He had completely forgotten about the horror movie he wanted to watch tonight.
Zhao Yuheng found a post-apocalyptic film to watch.
The story is set in 2012, when the apocalypse arrives, and the world is hit by unprecedented torrential rain.
At first, people thought it was just an ordinary downpour.
Until the torrential rain lasted for three whole months, until the sea overflowed and began to destroy coastal cities.
When Hong Kong sank, Shen Shuyi screamed, “Oh no, Zhao Yuheng, we’re done for!”
“We won’t be,” Zhao Yuheng said. “We’ll run to higher ground.”
Shen Shuyi chuckled, “The whole of Hong Kong is silent. Which higher ground are you going to run to? Are you going to sprout wings?”
“A helicopter,” Zhao Yuheng raised an eyebrow. “Just watch, the male and female leads will definitely leave in a helicopter.”
Shen Shuyi didn’t believe him and continued watching intently.
As it turned out, at the moment the skyscrapers collapsed, the male and female leads actually found a helicopter on the top floor and left.
Shen Shuyi’s eyes widened: “How did you know?”
Zhao Yuheng bluntly retorted, “That’s how bad movies are.”
“Bad? I thought it was pretty good. Are your standards for movies too high?” Shen Shuyi opened the internet rating incredulously and saw it was only 2.9.
Shen Shuyi: “…”
Okay.
He said whatever, and Zhao Yuheng actually found him such a low-rated, terrible movie!
Heartbroken, truly heartbroken for his brother!
Shen Shuyi was about to complain when the movie, which practically took up an entire wall, reached its climax—a romantic scene.
After surviving various natural and man-made disasters, the male and female leads, now survivors, gaze deeply into each other’s eyes on a helicopter.
Shen Shuyi had a premonition of what was about to happen and was about to casually exit the projector.
But the male and female leads had already taken the initiative and were deeply kissing—a French kiss!
Shen Shuyi froze.
The theater was a closed space with excellent projection quality.
To enjoy the cinematic experience, Shen Shuyi had spent over 100,000 yuan on a particularly expensive sound system.
Now, this sound system was outputting the male and female leads’ passionate, sweet kisses from every angle, louder than a whistleblower’s smacking lips.
Shen Shuyi blushed crimson, awkwardly fixing his head, unsure whether to watch or not.
…Damn it!
Hurry up and finish kissing! The smacking sounds of gnawing on duck neck continued.
“Shen Shuyi,” Zhao Yuheng suddenly spoke.
“Oh, oh, oh,” Shen Shuyi quickly replied, “You think it’s ugly too, right? To be honest, I think it’s ugly too. I didn’t really want to watch it anymore. Since you want to change it, let’s watch something else, okay?”
Zhao Yuheng said, “I didn’t think it was ugly.”
Shen Shuyi thought to himself, friend, don’t spoil me too much.
Actually, after reading the later part, Shen Shuyi did think there was a reason for the 2.9 rating.
“I just thought of something.”
What could you possibly think of when you see people kissing?
Shen Shuyi thought to himself.
“Didn’t you kiss me?” Zhao Yuheng pointed to his lips. “Today.”
“…” If it weren’t for Zhao Ci’s little teasing, Shen Shuyi would indeed have been constantly flirting with Zhao Yuheng on the very first day he returned.
“…Oh.” Shen Shuyi stared ahead, fiddling with the corner of his pillow, and said, “I forgot.”
“Shouldn’t you make up for it?” Zhao Yuheng looked at him.
“…”
“Zhao Yuheng,” Shen Shuyi probed tentatively, his mind racing, “I think it’s a little strange for two boys to be kissing so much.”
“What’s strange about it?” Zhao Yuheng said, “We’re different from other people. Besides, we grew up together. What’s wrong with just a kiss?”
Zhao Yuheng suddenly grabbed his ankle and pulled Shen Shuyi into his arms.
Shen Shuyi gasped, but he really missed Zhao Yuheng’s embrace. After a moment of internal struggle, he obediently let himself be held.
(Movie clip).
It’s still more comfortable hugging my own cat.
Zhao Yuheng felt the weight in his arms, kissed him twice on the crown of his head, and said with a hint of reproach, “Shen Shuyi, I feel like our relationship has cooled a bit since I came back.”
“…” What kind of tea did you drink in England? How come you’re still covered in tea stains after all this time?
Zhao Yuheng whispered, “Can’t I kiss you?”
Shen Shuyi, unable to resist his nagging, let out a soft “Ouch!” and kissed Zhao Yuheng on the cheek.
Zhao Yuheng continued to look at him with a reproachful expression, and Shen Shuyi cupped his face again, kissing him on the lips.
“Okay, okay, okay,” Shen Shuyi’s ears burned, and he wanted to stand up and escape from the video room.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuheng suddenly pinned him down on the sofa. Shen Shuyi quickly smiled and pleaded, “What are you doing!”
“Not enough.” Zhao Yuheng’s eyes crinkled as he whispered, “Little Shu, brother wants more.”
Shen Shuyi: “…” His face quickly turned as red as a scalding shrimp.
You little brat, didn’t you hear me? ^^
