Chapter 599 - FUDANSHI (2/2)

”Oh my goodness. My husband is a fudanshi!” His wife repeated in a voice so high, it might have triggered the dogs in the neighbourhood.

”A what?” Shun's eldest brother looked at his mother with confusion mirrored on his younger siblings' faces.

”Honey, look at your sons. That would be the correct reaction if you really did not know what I was talking about.” Shun's mother pointed at their three sons.

The couple began a back and forth argument about who knew what while the three brothers searched for the meaning online. When they found it, they were horrified. They moved away from their further in mock fear.

Naturally, the further was embarrassed and angry with them. He took off his indoor house slipper and beat the three of them thoroughly.

Shun knew the story because he was watching from a hidden corner on the floor above them. That occurrence was during his second year in college. He had just come back home and gone to his bedroom to bathe and rest for a bit.

He was planning on going downstairs, but he heard his family talking about him. They were almost always talking about him. And their faces would always light up when they were discussing him. It was like he was the centre of their world.

Unfortunately, their love for him made it impossible for him to be a true part of the family.

When he saw them talking about his future romantic prospects, he paused to listen instead of going downstairs to stop them immediately. Then, he realised how happy they were as they talked about finding him a man.

He wanted to roll his eyes at their crazy thoughts, but all he felt was sad. He could not joke around with them as casually as they were doing it without him. No one would speak a harsh word to him. His father would never use his indoor slipped to beat him.

If he went downstairs, they would stop what they were doing and begin fussing over him. His mother would rush off to get him snacks, and his brothers would ask if anyone was bullying him, even though he knew they knew everything going on.

His father would ask him about his schoolwork, but it was not to push him. He would tell him that he did not have to get stressed about it. If there was anything he could not do, they would handle it for him.

So, even though Shun had brought his family that used to be cold to each other before he was born together, he could never be truly a part of it. He would always be the treasure they protected, so they would always treat him like a delicate flower.

”Shun, Shun!” A commanding voice broke him from the memory.

Shun scoffed and looked at Wang Che with annoyance. He found this man quite irritating, but a part of him was drawn inexplicably to him. He wondered if it was the feelings remaining from his forgotten memories.

Or perhaps, it was the way the man looked at him. It made him feel like prey before a predator. The slight apprehension in his heart made him feel alive.

”You do not have to shout. I am right here.” Shun said.

”Yes, yes you are.” Wang Che said a little eerily.

Before Shun could say anything else, the hospital door burst open again.

”My baby!”
