Chapter 21 - What to Do, My Junior Invited Me to Kiss Him on the Bridge of Sighs (1/2)
After all it was the end of year, the thief also had to submit his performance report, all of people he had to meet this couple, actually when he saw the gay couple kissing he felt that he had a chance, but who knew that this damn gay couple’s combative spirits were strong as hell, especially the shorter one still yelling while chasing.
“I’m warning you with a Wang Ba fist! You better return the wallet to me, if not don’t let me catch up with you!”
“Run! Continue running! We’ll see who last longer!”
“Catch the thief! Catch the thief! Everyone! Here’s a piping hot thief!”
– Fuck not only is he a damn gay he’s an asshole as well! The thief could only cry tearlessly and continued running with that relentless guy. Luckily Xiao Nian’s and Wei Ru Song’s stamina were better than the average college student, so they eventually won this long distance race.
“I’m going to beat the shit out of you!”
The panting Wei Ru Song applied his Wang Ba Fist, the thief could only huddle on the ground and beg for mercy, only to hear Wei Ru Song’s chilly laugh.
“Why, why steal if you can’t bear the con-, consequences, Junior, call the police.”
Xiao Nian called the police with his phone, he was also tired, panting heavily, his heartbeat fluctuating.
“Thanks, Senior, you head back first, I’m fine by myself.”
“No, I’m scared you’ll get lost.”
Wei Ru Song felt something strange… Looking around he realised it was this bastard, he rudely grabbed onto the thief’s collar and shook.
“What expression is that?”
“Damn gays, disgusting!”
— This unyielding expression , no matter how you look at it it looks like it’s due a beating. This guy doesn’t look that old, if not he probably would not be able to run for so long, but how could he be so old-fashioned? Wei Ru was angry, he tightened his fist about to punch that man’s face before getting stopped by Xiao Nian.
“Senior, don’t stoop to his level.”
“What the fuck, I! I” Wei Ru Song waved his fist in front of the thief, chanting non-stop. “Wang Ba fist warning warning warning warning-“
Xiao Nian could not help it, he laughed softly, Wei Ru Song was puzzled.
“What are you laughing at?”
“You’re really cute.”
“…” This sentence was just like splashing Wei Ru Song’s face with boiling water, Wei Ru Song’s face immediately flushed red, he self-consciously gave Xiao Nian a light punch. “Why are you like this in front of others, so embarrassing!”
“…” Xiao Nian paused. “Senior, to be frank, this is a little nauseating.”
“…” After looking at Xiao Nian, Wei Ru Song punched his junior’s chest forcefully, in that moment Xiao Nian felt Wei Ru Song’s endless strength, his internal organs were about to burst, Wei Ru Song laughed. “Good, I knew you’re not unreasonable!”
– Is Senior taking revenge… he’s taking revenge right?
Lying on the hotel bed Xiao Nian thought he might have exercised too vigorously today, causing him to have too much mental energy. It was 3 in the morning but his eyes were wide open looking at the shadows on the ceiling, all he could think of was Wei Ru Song. Xiao Nian rarely regretted anything, but having cooled down by now he was upset till the point of feeling discomfort in his belly, he should have just kissed first before chasing after his wallet, it could only be said that man’s natural instincts won over romanticism.
Xiao Nian felt that Wei Ru Song was just unexplainably cute, like a kitten’s soft pink paw pads, the first mouthful of warm soup when cold, a wind chime jingling in the summer breeze, a sun-dried duvet, making people feel happy and lucky to be alive. Xiao Nian always felt like they were so close together, yet still so far, he could not explain this odd feeling, maybe he should just tell Wei Ru Song directly?
Xiao Nian sat up, rehearsing in the dark.
“Senior, I like you, let’s be together.” No, this was too insipid.
“Senior, are you willing to appear on my family’s registry?” This seemed very old-fashioned.
“Senior, I have a chromosome that has been passed down from my ancestor for you.” So gross, Wei Ru Song would definitely warn him with his Wang Ba fist.
“Senior, it’s really beautiful tonight.” But if Wei Ru Song did not get this it would be useless!
This night, Xiao Nian practised over a thousand different confessions, finally he realised their relationship only needed a small step, that step should be taken by Wei Ru Song, also, he felt that there was a possibility that they would just cross the bridge when it came to it, if someone were to take over this bridge, Xiao Nian would kick that person into the river.
Ever since his mother had passed away, the Wei family’s lunar new year felt like it was missing something, a decade had passed, their dining table still had an empty setting waiting for a woman that would never return.
Wei Ru Song was restless, he was either drinking and training with Wei Yang Hai or gaming alone in his bedroom, Wei Yang Hai could just give him a beating in the past, but now that his son was older he could not control him anymore, and so left Wei Ru Song to himself.
Today was the eve of the Lunar New Year, it was a rare occasion for Wei Ru Song and Wei Yang Hai to watch the Lunar New Year performance together, whether it was the awkward laughter of the skits or the lip-syncing from the singers, their interests could not be roused. Just sitting there was also boring, so Wei Ru Song tried to find something to talk about.
“Dad, why do you think I’m dating Xiao Nian?”
“It’s obvious to me,” Wei Yang Hai tapped his cigarette on the ash tray. “I’m your father after all.”
“Then your observational skills are pretty bad,” Wei Ru Song smiled lightly. “We’re really not dating.”
“Then you’re flirting.” Wei Yang Hai did not blink. “Stop playing around with him, what has to be said should be said, stop dilly-dallying around as a man.”
“No, I’m not willing to accept what you just said,” Wei Ru Song sat up unhappily, throwing a pistachio into his mouth. “How am I playing around with him? He started teasing me first.”
“Then why would he come to our house, this fella is pretty handsome, looking at you you really don’t deserve him.”
“Are you really my dad!”
“Ru Song, I don’t wish for you to get hurt, and for you to hurt others, being like this no wonder he would misunderstand, if you really don’t want to be with him, just be honest with him and stop stringing him along.”
“When did I…” Wei Ru Song muttered, losing his previous courage. “I know, why don’t you just date in lieu of me.”
