Chapter 115: Picking up soap. (1/2)
… No way, allowing him to come in was impossible, like hell he was going to allow him to come in!
You Liangxing wrenched his eyes open, “Kang Shengzhe!”
But the latter half of his words were spoken too late because Kang Shengzhe had already lowered his entire person completely at the other end of the tub. You Liangxing could only feel the water surge up quickly before a huge portion of the water was displaced by Kang Shengzhe, spilling all over the floor with an audible splash.
You Liangxing was so angry his veins were visible, “Are you insane?”
Kang Shengzhe: “Someone just wanted to soak in a bath.”
Whenever Kang Shengzhe used ‘someone’ to address himself, it was like his tongue and conduct could no longer be straightened out since his words had the tendency to stick together. Even if he were to disregard how much of a squeeze it was for two men of relatively tall statures to share a bathtub first, there basically wasn’t enough water for them to use. Although You Liangxing expressed his outrage with his mouth, his body did not dare to move at all, afraid that the slightest movement might bring him into contact with a place of Kang Shengzhe’s that he should not touch.
“Prior to this, which sentence of mine permitted you to come in?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “You didn’t agree, but you didn’t reject it either~”
You Liangxing: “… Forget it, you can soak by yourself.”
Kang Shengzhe pulled You Liangxing in a hurry, and promised thrice, “Don’t go, don’t go, I won’t do anything. I’ve already entered, if you go, I’ll have to fill up the water again.”
You Liangxing stared at him, causing Kang Shengzhe to change his words again. He said: “You must be tired after returning from the Imperial Capital. Soaking for a while more is good for your health because it reduces your fatigue.”
You Liangxing continued to stare at him coldly, but he still sat back in the bathtub in the end. The two of them gazed at each other amidst the fine, enshrouding steam, and their surroundings were quiet save the occasional and accidental sound of water sloshing.
You Liangxing endured time and time again before he raised his hand and splashed water towards Kang Shengzhe. “Still looking!”
Kang Shengzhe let out his customary ying as he used his hand to wipe his face. “I can’t even look?”
His replying gaze was enough to tell him whether he approved of it or not. Kang Shengzhe’s neck shrank back and he said, aggrieved, “Fine, I won’t look, I’ll close my eyes.”
As he said, a thought flashed past his head and he said with much interest, “Liang Liang, I’ll you a joke?”
You Liangxing: “… You’re not closing your eyes yet?”
Kang Shengzhe: “I’ll close my eyes after I say it.”
Helpless, You Liangxing replied: “… Say it.”
Kang Shengzhe giggled and his long arms stretched and took one of the bathing products that was placed by the side of the bathtub. He gave it a tight squeeze, and that new bar of soap he was gripping onto slipped out his hands, whizzing before it fell on the ground.
Joyful, Kang Shengzhe said: “Look! The bar of soap dropped!”
You Liangxing: “……”
A kick went straight to his chest, and that little giant by the surname of Kang finally quietened down after spitting out some blood.
The bath lasted for more than half an hour. Although the water had cooled, the people involved were dizzy and they exited the bathroom to change into clean clothes. Then, You Liangxing received a call from Liao Su, asking if they wanted to meet for a meal.
Gathering for a meal after not meeting him for two months due to his trip to Imperial Capital was something that had to be done. Thus, You Liangxing agreed and turn his head back to ask Kang Shengzhe. “Are you going?”
“What?”
“To eat.”
“At this time?”
“Supper, eating anything is fine.”
Kang Shengzhe said, “Go, going, going.”
Naturally, Liao Su heard his voice as well and he teased smilingly, “Yik2014; you guys are together late at night? Reallyk2026;”
You Liangxing interrupted him by asking, “Are you treating?”
Liao Su changed his tune instantaneously, “I really ought to, I have to! If we don’t reminiscence after not meeting for such a long time, how can I be considered human?”
You Liangxing laughed coldly and before he dropped the call, Liao Su said heartily, “Come down soon, Xiao Linzi and I are already nearby.”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Liang Chulin came too?”
Keeping his phone, You Liangxing asked: “What are you snickering about?”
Kang Shengzhe: “I’m not snickering.”
You Liangxing: “Do you think I have problems with my vision?”
Despite his visible struggle, Kang Shengzhe could no longer hold back his laughter as he said: “Liang Chulin is an interesting person, if he doesn’t come, I’ll be missing something that brings me delight.”
You Liangxing wanted to say something but he hesitated, “… Kang Shengzhe, you’re really—”
Really mean, mean to the point where it’s a little cute.
The four quickly gathered downstairs. Liang Chulin’s heart and mind brightened completely when he saw You Liangxing, but his complexion darkened with a swoosh when he turned his head and saw Kang Shengzhe, and he almost spat on the spot.
Gleeful, Kang Shengzhe asked: “How is it, isn’t he particularly interesting?”
You Liangxing: “……” You can shut up.
Liang Chulin remained oblivious to their discussion, “Brother Liang Liang, what are you guys talking about?”
With pity and doting intent in his heart, You Liangxing patted Liang Chulin’s head and said warmly, “Nothing at all, let’s go and eat.”
The four of them held their gathering at a barbeque shop that they regularly frequented, and the person who loved barbeque were not the proletariats by the names of Kang Shengzhe and Liao Su, or the small bourgeoisie Liang Chulin, but the inheritor of a third generation wealth who was literally – in every sense of the word – rich, wealthy, prosperous, affluent and loaded.
You Liangxing really loved barbeque.
Maybe because this child of a rich entrepreneur had always been too down-to-earth, no one had found out that he was outrageously rich up until now. When they were done ordering, there were even people who wanted to snatch the bill from him.
