Chapter 14 (2/2)

Sweat dripped down Xu Ping’s forehead. His brother’s member was only inches away from his face, and he could smell the strong odor from Xu Zheng’s groin.

It hit Xu Ping that it wasn’t the pants that were too tight. It was his junk that was too big!

He glared at his brother only to meet the intent yet pure gaze of the younger boy, who was acting as though the swollen erection was not his.

“What are you looking at?” Xu Ping barked angrily.

Xu Zheng couldn’t sense that his brother was upset and replied seriously, “You’re good-looking.”

If he didn’t know his brother’s IQ, Xu Ping would have thought the younger boy was teasing him. His face flushed at the words, but he didn’t even know how to retort.

In the end, he commanded his brother to hold his hand in front of his own crotch. “Hold it!”

Xu Zheng held his own member while observing his furious brother struggling with the pant zipper.

Xu Ping had never been in such an awkward situation. He cursed silently as he yanked downward.

The zipper flew off and the pants could finally come off.

Xu Ping pushed the pants down to the floor. “Feet up.”

“The pants broke.” Xu Zheng sounded a bit sad.

Xu Ping wiped his sweat off with the back of his hand. “No, it’s not! I’ll put it back for you later.”

Xu Zheng was happy again.

Water began spraying out. Xu Ping grabbed the yellow showerhead and tested the temperature with a hand.

“Okay, get in.”

A naked Xu Zheng stepped into the tub.

Xu Ping quickly sprayed his brother’s torso. He looked up at his brother.

A bit angry, Xu Ping grumbled, “Put your head down.”

Xu Zheng crouched down with his arms around his knees.

Xu Ping wet his brother’s head before scooping a chunk of Seagull shampoo from its blue plastic container. He slapped it on his brother’s hair and began scrubbing.

Xu Zheng’s hair was short, but it was black, numerous and stiff, staying spiked even when wet.

Xu Ping clawed his brother’s scalp.

His brother had really grown up. His shoulders had become wide and muscle tone was starting to show on his back. Two years ago, Xu Ping could have easily won in an arm wrestle, but this year on Chinese New Year’s Eve, he had lost even after using all the strength he could muster.

Xu Ping glanced at his brother’s strong arms and then at his own. He sighed.

He raised the showerhead and rinsed the lather out of his brother’s hair.

“What did Dad say to you on the phone?” Xu Ping tried to make conversation.

Xu Zheng had his eyes tightly shut as the water splashed his head.

“Hi, Xiao-Zheng? It’s Dad. Did you have dinner? And what did you have? Did you like the ribs? Haha. Well, you have to thank your brother for that. I’ll be home in two or three days. You have to listen to your brother while Dad’s away, okay? Your brother’s busy these days, so don’t go bothering him. He needs to study for his exams. I’ll take you out to play when I come back. I’m in Yan’an right now, the place where our great President Mao stayed. I’ll bring back some local paper cut outs and you can stick them up on the windows. They’re really pretty. What pattern do you like, Xiao-Zheng? They got everything; cat, dog, donkey and even tree peony….”

Xu Ping listened to his brother repeat every word that their father had said like a tape recorder. He didn’t know how his brother did it. Aside from the lack of emotion, the sentences were almost exact replicas of the original.

How could anyone say he was stupid?

He patted his brother’s cheek lovingly. “Alright, the bubbles are gone now. You can open your eyes.”

Xu Zheng opened his eyes slowly and added unhappily, “Dad lied. I asked for one of gege. Dad said there are none.”

“Alright, don’t be mean to Dad.” Xu Ping chuckled. “I’ll cut one for you with some red paper and you can stick it up on the windows.”

“Okay.” Xu Zheng nodded delightfully.

All the feelings of frustration vanished at the sight of his brother’s adorably dumb expression. Xu Ping pulled his brother by the arm. “Stand up. Let’s clean the rest of you.”

His brother straightened up and held his fists on either side, keeping his body tense like an army drill.

Xu Ping clapped his shoulder, laughing. “Relax!”

The last bar of soap had been used up. Xu Ping took out a new bar of Bee & Flower sandalwood soap from Shanghai that was given to his father by the event organizer of a performance. He ripped open the paper packaging. The soap inside was a brownish red colour and exuded a strong and rich fragrance.

Xu Ping sprayed his brother with water again before rubbing the soap bar on the younger boy.

From the neck to the collarbone, from the chest to the stomach.

The abdomen muscles began twitching.

Xu Ping shot a look. “What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Zheng was standing with his body taut and his fists on either side. “It’s ticklish, Gege.”

“Tsk, what are you complaining about?” Xu Ping scolded. “Suck it up!”

He turned his brother around and began lathering the back.

Xu Zheng had the perfect body shape, an upside-down triangle made of broad shoulders, long arms and a slender waist. His b.u.t.t was firm and round, and his thighs were strong and muscular.

As Xu Ping worked with the soap bar, he noticed that wherever he went, the muscles would start twitching. It was like throwing a pebble into water and watching the ripples spread.

“Are you really that ticklish?!” Xu Ping exclaimed.

He turned his brother around again to find his member standing up again.

With his hands full of lather, Xu Ping stared at the erection for a moment.

It seemed to have sensed his gaze and jerked joyfully, spitting out a few drops of clear liquid. One went as far as Xu Ping’s pants.

Xu Ping was quiet.

Veins were bulging out on Xu Zheng’s neck, and his face was red too.

“Gege,” he called.

“Do you feel bad?” Xu Ping asked.

Xu Zheng took a second to think before nodding.

“Do you know what to do?”

His dumb brother shook his head.

Xu Ping leisurely wiped the foam from his hands while replying, “I’ll help you.”

He pointed the showerhead at his brother’s crotch and opened the cold water.

“AGH!” Xu Zheng shot up like a spring. His little guy had already shrunken back into its bush, and the b.a.l.l.s looked smaller too.

Xu Ping pushed his brother’s head down and showered him with cold water, making Xu Zheng howl.

Xu Ping didn’t care and held onto his brother’s neck while he scolded, “You d.a.m.n little rascal! Don’t you ever dare do that again!”
