Ch30 - Chinese New Year’s Eve (1/2)
Zhou Sheng had already prepared all of the dishes. He had chopped up everything that needed to be chopped and simmered everythingthat needed to be simmered, so he was only waiting on the final step of the the cooking process. He washed his hands, looked up at the clock, then went in to wake up Yu Hao.

“Yu Hao, don’t sleep anymore, wake up.” Zhou Sheng patted Yu Hao sleepily.
Yu Hao was lying on his stomach as he slept, revealing his fair shoulders and back while his thigh outside the blanket was fully exposed. His hair was mussed up, so it didn’t cover most of his handsome and perfect face. Under the sunlight, his outline seemed gentle and beautiful, which made one sentence flash through Zhou Sheng’s mind——
——this fucking little fresh meat.
Even though he was a guy, Yu Hao’s sleeping appearance stirred up sexual urges in Zhou Sheng, who suddenly wanted to ride on his body and give him a kiss.

Zhou Sheng, “……”
“Get up!” Zhou Sheng shouted loudly before his tent was completely pitched.
Yu Hao sprang straight up — he seemed quite startled — and their eyes met. Zhou Sheng looked at him with an apathetic expression.
With his bare, slim upper body on display and alarm in his eyes, Yu Hao asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Get up!” Zhou Sheng was so sleepy he was about to lose his temper. He hadn’t slept a wink since last night, “If you sleep too much during the day, you won’t be able to fall asleep at night.”
Yu Hao, who was still in a daze, anxiously responded with an “oh”. Zhou Sheng lifted the blanket and laid on the bed, “It’s my turn to sleep.”
“Wu……” Yu Hao tunneled under the blanket again and curled up comfortably. He uncovered his head as he faced Zhou Sheng to ask, “You didn’t sleep?’

Zhou Sheng couldn’t be bothered with answering him. He turned around and lay on his front as well to squash his hard object and like Yu Hao, also left his head uncovered. They stared at each other with their bright eyes.
Yu Hao wore a bewildered expression, “What is it?”
Zhou Sheng turned his head away, “Nothing.”

Yu Hao helped him pull the blanket up to cover him properly. Zhou Sheng said, “Go get lunch, there’s some on the table. And don’t be curious about what’s in the pot. If I catch you sneaking some, I’ll hit you.”
Yu Hao uttered an “un” before he got up to put on a T-shirt. Zhou Sheng was lying on his stomach with a head full of jumbled up thoughts. He hadn’t been exercising as much recently, so there was no way for him to vent all his frustration, which meant that he was much more hot-tempered these days. He decided that when the weather wasn’t so cold anymore, he would need to go sweat it out.
When Yu Hao was eating breakfast, he suddenly snapped out of his daze and thought of the conversation they had last night. He really couldn’t believe what he had done. It all seemed so unrealistic, as if last night was a dream. He decided to treat everything as if it was a dream, and to never mention it to Zhou Sheng again.
Now, he heaved a big sigh of relief, as if something truly had come to a close.

It was reasonable that a story that started in a dream would thus end with a dream. In fact, he was no longer concerned about why Zhou Sheng had such a strange power. But at the same time that his preoccupation with questions about superpowers and dreams became a thing of the past, a new and even more serious problem emerged.
Yu Hao knew that he must have fallen in love with Zhou Sheng.
Nowadays, he would feel incredibly happy as long as he could see Zhou Sheng, but he would become slightly troubled if he couldn’t. Zhou Sheng had already surpassed money to become his greatest source of happiness. He now seemed like someone who was on the verge of dying from thirst, who needed to drink water incessantly. Except that in his case, when he was drinking, he needed to be mindful of his image, and be even more mindful of choking.
He often heard people say that love would make you addicted to someone. When he was in junior high, he was ignorant and couldn’t comprehend such a concept, but now it really did seem like he was addicted.
Yu Hao gathered his utensils carefully and tried not to make any noise while he was washing them. At this moment, Mama Zhou’s boyfriend woke up. He came out and lifted the cover of the pot, “Wah, there’s so much good food? Did you make it?”
Yu Hao, “Zhou, Zhou Sheng made them……”
That man uttered several tsks, and before he could comment on it, Zhou Sheng shouted angrily from his room, “Yu Hao! Get in here!”

That was a most welcome order for Yu Hao. He quickly went in and knew that Zhou Sheng hadn’t fallen asleep yet, so he didn’t dare provoke him. He lay on the bed to read his Higher Mathematics textbook, but his thoughts weren’t focused on the book at all. He really wished he could just stare at Zhou Sheng, but Zhou Sheng’s back was facing him so all he could see was the back of his head.
Yu Hao knew that Zhou Sheng was straight, and the possibility of being liked by him was even rarer than winning the lottery. Zhou Sheng must know that he likes “General” too. But the things that had occurred in the dream were easy to dismiss. All he needed to explain was that he had always been inclined towards the same sex deep down in his heart and had just transferred his feelings onto General. Then, everyone would be able to come to a tacit mutual understanding and muddle through it together.

Zhou Sheng turned around out of discomfort. Yu Hao shifted his gaze immediately. Zhou Sheng wore an extremely irritated expression on his face. He took his phone out from underneath the pillow and threw it to Yu Hao.
“Phone……” Zhou Sheng had finally fallen asleep when he was awoken by the vibration of Yu Hao’s phone. He muttered, “Let Laozi off ba……”
When Yu Hao saw that the call came from Chen Yekai, he quickly went out to take the call. Zhou Sheng said irritably, “Could you not go to the living room?”
Yu Hao went to the balcony. Zhou Sheng said, “It’s -3 degrees outside. Yu Hao, are you tired of living?”

So Yu Hao could only go back to the bed and cover Zhou Sheng with the blanket.
“Where are you?” This was the first thing Chen Yekai said.
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng, then said into the phone, “I’m having fun outside, what’s wrong?”
“At, my, home!” Zhou Sheng could guess that it was Chen Yekai asking that question from Yu Hao’s answer, so he answered loudly with impatience.
Chen Yekai heard Zhou Sheng’s voice, and at the same time, Yu Hao heard the sound of an ambulance over on Chen Yekai’s side. He was startled, “Chen Laoshi, are you okay?”
Zhou Sheng turned around and cast a doubtful glance at Yu Hao. Yu Hao switched to loudspeaker. On the other end, the wee woo sounds of a siren were blaring.
Chen Yekai said, “It’s nothing, I just suddenly thought of you. I was afraid that it wouldn’t be safe for you to spend the 30th outside if you had gone travelling alone, but it’s fine if you’re at a friend’s house.”

The “friend” asked, “An ambulance? Kaikai, you’re okay ba?”
“Police car.” Chen Yekai said, “Something happened to Lin Laoshi and Liang Laoshi. Let’s talk about it later.”
Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng looked at each other. Yu Hao asked Chen Yekai not to worry too much, Chen Yekai responded with an “un”, then hung up. Zhou Sheng said, baffled, “Why would he suddenly give you this call? It wasn’t some sort of secret signal because he was kidnapped ba?”

The more Yu Hao thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. He asked Zhou Sheng to go to sleep first and patted him, then after a short moment sent Chen Yekai a WeChat message. Chen Yekai took a picture of the hospital and said:【I’m really okay.】Immediately afterwards, he took a selfie and sent it over — it was a picture of him and Huang Ting. When Yu Hao saw Huang Ting, he knew that he wasn’t in any danger, so he felt slightly more at ease.
Zhou Sheng finally fell asleep. After he slept for about half an hour, Mama Zhou came in to nag and ask him to get up to cook. She wanted to eat a little earlier with her boyfriend, then go out for a round of mahjong after the meal.
“I……” Zhou Sheng lifted the blanket and sat up straight away.
“Aren’t you ashamed of sleeping all day?!” Zhou Sheng’s mother pointed at Yu Hao, “Why don’t you learn from Yu Hao! And study seriously every day?!”

Yu Hao was really afraid that Zhou Sheng would stab his mother, so he quickly said, “It’s the New Year! Don’t fight!”
Zhou Sheng took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
“Okay, I’ll cook.” Zhou Sheng said, “Once I’m done, get lost.”
“What kind of son speaks to their mother like that?” Zhou Sheng’s mother’s voice suddenly rose eight octaves, “This is my house! If someone needs to get lost, it should be you! Yu Hao! You don’t need to get lost, you’re a guest……”
“Zhou Sheng didn’t sleep well last night, it’s my fault……”
“Yu Hao na you’re a good child don’t try to speak up for Zhou Sheng. I was the one who gave birth to Zhou Sheng so I know him the best……he doesn’t sleep at night and doesn’t get up in the morning……”
Yu Hao quickly held Zhou Sheng down and begged his Grandpa to tell Grandma not to let Zhou Sheng get angry. Zhou Sheng used up a year’s worth of willpower suppressing his rage, and then said wearily, “Forget it.”

When he got up and went to the kitchen to cook, Mama Zhou was still nagging him with words like ‘you only know how to talk to your mother like this, you dare talk to your mother this way in front of your classmate……’
Zhou Sheng placed a dish in a bamboo steamer, prepared the roast duck Peking-style, removed the lid to scoop some soup out, arranged the dishes on plates, chopped garlic, and fried some chilli. Yu Hao assisted him from the side while Mama Zhou curled her hair and thought up cutting remarks about Zhou Sheng, such as how it would have been better giving birth to a piece of char siu pork than to give birth to him. Meanwhile, Yu Hao tried his best to change the topic, but no matter what topic he changed it to, it would always make a detour back to char siu. However, Zhou Sheng was abnormally calm. In the end, Mama Zhou began to compare Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng and talked about how Yu Hao was better in all aspects, while Zhou Sheng was practically a bastard in comparison. Finally, even Yu Hao couldn’t stand listening to her any more, so he said, “Aunt, I’ll go turn on the TV.”
