Vol 1 Chapter 15 (1/2)

Chapter Fifteen

I definitely felt a sense of loss upon leaving T City, but S City suited my taste as well By the time we left the airport, the entire city had already been illuht

A new city, a new ate of luck

dauy here, I don’t knohere I can

Still sucking on the ot from the plane, I set foot onwith the Xie fa, it’d really be aard seeing them

They hired someone to sweep the house in advance It appeared warht There were just one too many cushi+ons and pillows and sees like potted plants, fish tanks—too s that I could care less for

It felt toome feel out of place

“Tada! What do you think?” Shu Nian opened a door like he was presenting a treasure He gave lance, and then looked toward the room

“Oh?” The carpet was so soft that half of my feet were buried in it Goosebuht away

My brother-in-law’s apartement was beautiful, and it was spacious I trust that it’s a great place to live in and I appreciate his hospitality

But I will never lodge under another’s roof Not tosoetting it on on the living room sofa, wouldn’t he turn ill in the face?

Not only should we not live together, we should be separated as far away from each other as possible I definitely didn’t want a man to meddle in my life like a nanny

“I don’t plan onin”

“Eh?” Shu Nian was surprised Panicking, he said, “It’s actually really convenient here, and the neighborhood is pretty nice If you don’t like it, wait until I tidy it up and see e’re …”

I grabbed his shoulder and sincerely said, “Believein one apartood”

“Well, it can’t turn out bad either” The honest, naïve man said, “You’ve only just arrived First rest here for a few days If you think it’s no good, you can move to another place

I guided hiood or not It’s that it’ll be inconvenient”

“Oh, it won’t be Transportation and what not are all very convenient”

I gently hinted, “I’ alone”

Shu Nian gave out an “oh” He thought for a moment, then looked at ht”

Goose bumps quickly spread down my back to the soles of my feet

Xie Yan ilared at me with a look of profound hatred as if someone had made off with his bride

I was still reluctant to touch e and only took out the necessities to avoid the trouble when the tie, they were already too tired to go out And there wasn’t a need to hold a grand welcome reception for family, so we ordered take-out for dinner

I yahile I was listening to Shu Nian talking to Xie Yan “Let’s go pick up Xiao Jia soon I miss him”

“We’ll go to late Get some rest first There’s no need to pick up Xiao Xi You’re too tired to look after hiet better”

I cut in, “Who are you talking about?”

“Our sons”

I gaped

Shu Nian laughed “Xiao Jia is my adopted child This year, he’s nine years old Xiao Xi is his son He’s six months old”

“He’s also adopted?”

“No, he’s Xie Yan’s real son”

I was startled “Who gave birth to him?”

Xie Yan seemed reluctant to discuss it He dryly said, “A woman”

I realized that he must continue the Xia bloodline Even if the one Xie Yan likes is a man, in the end, there must be someone to carry on the bloodline Shu Nian’s status in the family really wasn’t secure I started to question whether it was the right choice to come to him for help

Watching that slender man’s sube “Xie Yan, you did what?!”

Xie Yan flushed with anger and said, “What did I do! I just gave out some sperm!”

“Oh, how generous Xiao Nian, you should give some out one of these days too”

Xie Yan was ready to snap He thundered, “Drive the wedge deeper and you can talk to my fist!”

On the other hand, Shu Nian tried to ate mother, that’s all”

“That’s all?” I couldn’t stand his saintly behavior I shrugged and said, “As you wish You guys are a ht”

Dinner was eaten unhappily Having washed up and returned to ely couldn’t keep a cool head It was not like I was getting paid for nosing into someone else’s family affairs What business was it of mine!?

After lying down for a moment, I heard a knock on the door I opened the door and saw Shu Nian standing there in his sleepwear, hugging a pillow

“Did you have a fight?” Why do I sound like I’?

He was taken aback “That’s not it You can’t sleep by yourself, right? I’m here to accompany you”

Stupid I sulked

I actually ended up sleeping on one bed with theside by side

“About Xie Yan, he didn’t betray me He only compromised”

I scoffed

Shu Nian continued to speak gently, “People shouldn’t be too greedy It’s not like one can definitely have everything he wants How can everything co to only one person’s wish?”

“…”

“If I only go by et their way It’s already a great concession for theive way”

I yawned “Then you won’t ets married to a woman one day?”

He didn’t utter a word A moht of all these things, so saying so like “I’m not able to take it” is too cowardly”

I could only feelmy teeth, I said, “I can’t believe you Is there anybody who’s easier than you?”

I had thought I had been naive enough ht that this man would stoop to a new level of naivety Are the three of us in a coradation?

Shu Nian actually wasn’t angry He continued looking at the ceiling and good-naturedly said, “If you want so, you must pay a price”

I gave a sardonic set”

“That’s alright I’”

He seemed lukewarm and hen in fact he’s very clear-headed It’s just that our rules for the game were more than a million miles away from each other They’re basically at two extreme ends of the earth

Such a reserved man He practically has to put himself down into the dirt in front of the person he adores What is he going to do in the future?

I couldn’t help but reach out and angrily squeeze his cheek He lightly cried out in surprise and seized my hand After that, he just clutched it as so

Both of us lying down together peacefully hand in hand

“Brother”

It was his first ti me so My mouth suddenly dried

“Stay”

“…”

“I will s for you to eat”

Forto do with Ke Luo”

I had originally planned to go sightseeing in S City for a period of time and then run off Money wasn’t an issue anyway If Ke Luo dared to give me a blank check, I dared to fill it in When there's a shortage of e a

However, in the end, I stayed at their apart Shu Nian was really too spineless I couldn’t bear the sight of it Akneaded, flattened, and twisted into a round ball, eneral I needed to train him

Shu Nian and I ree PG-13 behavior, upsetting the feelings of a single old man like me, I’ll move out immediately

Because Shu Nian followedmaster, whose desire was unsatisfied, deepened

After that day, I met little Shu Jia He looked cute and smart, as well as very well-behaved As soon as he met me, he shared half a piece of chocolate withmy affection There was also a little baby, Xie Xi Ran, soft and fair-skinned with eyes big and black He giggled non-stop He was actually ained my approval as well

I had ed pleasantries, I sat doith them face to face to talk as the elder brother from Shu Nian’s side of the family

Growing up in the Xie family as a playmate and study co for the Xie faround lover It looked like he would live as a part of the Xie fahost of the Xie faree

It’s nothing when all is cal seems to be in perfect harainst hi behind

I have to know myself and know uy will receive the greatest benefits, so as to prevent his reliance onabandoned in the future

On the basis of otiation, after the talk, they became my boss and my boss’s wife

To have my share of the job as a transition wasn't that bad I could get to know the Xie fah I wasn’t very happy to address Xie Yan as my superior

My relationshi+p with Xie Yan was neither good nor bad Generally speaking, he could be labeled as a good man, but since he’s , we quarreled like two cocks fighting The slightest disagreeht would break out Every day it was very lively at home

Shu Nian was initially frightened out of his wits, but gradually got accustomed to it He knew exactly how ht like the back of his hands As long as it didn’t reach his limit, no matter how loudly we quarreled, he could still lie on the floor with Xiao Jia and focus on reading a storybook

“Papa, what are daddy and uncle doing?”

Shu Nian reassured hi to each other”

“Why are they so loud?”

Shu Nian covered Xiao Jia’s ears to censor soar words, and then explained, “They need to do so to help digestion since they eat more for dinner”

On the weekend, I accompanied Shu Nian to the supermarket

Living together for a period of time, I realized he was practically a full-time nanny He lived e married woman

Every day he’d go to work and return home on time Someti ho the house or ed by Xie Yan into their roos An entire day would end like that

He see life, but…what about the fun? Where’s the fun? A week like this would turn me into a crazed beast

I was al in the supermarket for about fiveof almonds into his basket and select crabs from the seafood department I repeatedly yawned It wasn’t until he took a durian fruit that I woke up with a sneeze from the smell

“Say, is it enjoyable living each day like this?”

He see hi with it?”

“I’ve never seen you go out and party with friends Drink? Play cards? Wait, do you have friends?”

“I do Like ues at work…but there’s no reason to party… I can drink with Xie Yan And don’t I have you now too?”

“Oh come on, you can’t rely on Xie Yan to live your life! You should live your own life beyond him”

Shu Nian thought for a moment “I don’t think I need to It’s fine with just Xie Yan and me”

My veins popped out, and I yelled, “I’h!”

“It-it’s enough…”

“Enough, my ass!”

“Xie Yan is very good to me”

“Please stop saying that” I couldn’t stand hi you speak like that”

Shu Nian didn’t dare say any pile oflot When we got in the car, he suddenly said, “When the elevator was down, it would be difficult for s, so he would carry me up the stairs on his back”

I iined the scene and counted the nuth is better than I thought

I stubbornly said, “That’s because you’re too skinny What’s so hard about carrying a paper-thin man? Next ti”

Shu Nian chuckled and grabbed my hand

Huy’s really mushy

During s for s for ht twice about it as if he owed me in my last life And I bluntly accepted it all without question

In fact, a lot of the clothes looked pretty stupid toHis taste in fashi+on…

Actually, there wasn’t any taste I don’t think his taste buds orking properly at all Black was in last year The British gentleman fashi+on was the year before last year’s This year, I wanted the romantic French style And what the hell is with that tie?

Yet I would still go out wearing the that I’d already cultivated my body to the point that I’d be able tois the key Norotten into soical

Since that guy looked on with eager eyes all day long, hurting his pride would seem very immoral Besides, for the first tiift froe

However when I discovered those wide, plaid pajama pants of his with a loosened elastic waist and that old, dull underwear a out to dry, I finally exploded

“Hey! You’re thirty-three, not fifty-three! Why the hell are you dressing up like an old man?!”

Shu Nian panicked “Oh…it’s pretty good though It’s very comfortable…”

“You’re not sensitive to these things at all, are you? It screaht’!”

He was the sharp, perceptive type He should have been like those LA buddies ofhi considerably about the shape of his oaist and hip, diligently working out, doing the h twist

“At the very least, have some sexy underwear”

“Eh…” He was so “I don’t know much about that sorta…”

“Are you really gay?”

It see as he could easily take off those clothes, so he cut in froay I’m the only man he loves”

Shu Nian actually reacted with a happy expression to this kind of remark—a remark that deserved a smack

I glared at him, “What do you usually do for fun?”

“Uh, read books, clean the house, cook…”

“You call cleaning fun?” I patted his shoulder with a lewd smile “Go out withplace, then you’ll knohat real fun is”

Xie Yan’s veins exploded He thren hislike a livid cat with his back arched “Not on my watch!”

He was alood ti

Shu Nian rushed to talk et it, I don’t need fun…”

Xie Yan and I glared at each other I huffed back without a sign of weakness, “Don’t think that by having him cooped up in the house, deprived of socialization, you can rest easy without a sense of danger!”

Young ry huonna do, huh?”

That’s right, young ry prickly porcupine; I couldn’t do anything to him However…

“Hehehe” I cupped Shu Nian’s face and slowly approached him with a lewd smile

The air in the rooradually froze, and when I kissed him on the lips with a chu, it finally cracked

“Ahhhhh, I’mma kill you!” Xie Yan went completely ballistic

I strode off with triumph—See if you dare cross me now

The next day, when I got up to eat breakfast, I discovered Shu Nian again with his usual bent back I watched his legs slightly treht was really intense

As Shu Nian poured waraze

“So, how many times did you do it?”
