Chapter 79 (1/2)

Translated by Yan of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

When they reached H City, it was noon. Of course, they received Mama Shen’s warm welcome again: an entire table full of delicious dishes.

Grandfather Shen kept craving Lin ShuYi’s Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but it was better to leave that kind of grand dish for Lunar New Year’s Eve, so the dish was put inside the fridge. It could be reheated up the next day; luckily, the taste of that kind of stewed dish wouldn’t be affected much even if it sat for a day. Instead, the flavors would even blend a little bit better.

As for the grand meal that Shen Mama had prepared, it was a table full of western-style delicious foods. Caviar salad, thick and buttery chicken mushroom soup, orange-soaked salmon, bacon asparagus rolls, and foie gras sautéed in red wine. Of course, there were also Lin ShuYi’s favorite desserts: cranberry cookies, strawberry crepes, and cinnamon apple pie.

Since most of the people in the Shen family didn’t really like to eat dessert, most of the ones prepared by Shen Mama had light sweetness but still ample milky flavor. However, Lin ShuYi – who was addicted to sweets – actually felt like some of the desserts were even tastier because they weren’t that sweet. For example, the strawberry crepe, with its thin crepe skin, the low fat whipped cream that was milky enough but not overly sweet, and the tasty sour and sweet fresh strawberries in the middle. The pleasant flavors mixed together, turning into an exceptional deliciousness.

Shen Mama felt extremely pleased with herself to see Lin ShuYi so happy. She was a master chef in the western foods, and she was the best at desserts. But none of the Shen family liked to eat sweets, leaving her with no way to use her natural gifts. Now that she had Lin ShuYi, who loved sweets, she could relax and boldly make them from here on out.

Papa Shen, whose wife ignored him the moment the daughter-in-law arrived, had a stepmother’s expression on his face.

After dinner, they all sat together, drinking fruit tea and chatting. When Lin ShuYi brought up what happened with Old Man Yang, Grandfather Shen also felt very surprised, but in the end he was still a little happy for him. However, he couldn’t help but also feel a bit sad amidst the happiness. They were both the same age, but how come the other guy could still get a second spring? Grandfather Shen had to stay here messing around with the little brats, wiping their butts after them. Grandfather Shen felt sad, but he thought that he didn’t show it.

However, older brother Shen had long since seen through him. He looked over and asked Mama Shen, “Are there any old ladies who are the same age as grandpa?”

Mama Shen was confused. “Ah?”

Ah, what ah? It was almost spring, it was time for love.

At night, Lin ShuYi went to go sleep in Shen Fu’s room as usual, but when he saw Shen Fu walk on his own towards the guest room, Mama Shen went up and grabbed him.

Shen Fu: “En?”

Mama Shen felt a little shy. Was she a little too old to say this to him? Even though Mama Shen didn’t appear old at all, as tender and beautiful as a flower bud. “This is your own home, why are you being so restrained? It’s not like we don’t know.”

Shen Fu: ??

“It’s not even the first time anymore, why are you being so shy?” When Mama Shen saw that Shen Fu didn’t understand, she probed a little more.

Shen Fu: ??

When he still didn’t understand even after she said that, Mama Shen gritted her teeth. “It’s not like this is your first time, didn’t you two live together at Xiao Yi’s place? Why are you two still sleeping in separate rooms in your own house? Relax, Mom isn’t old-fashioned. You two can openly sleep together, we won’t say anything.”

Shen Fu:…..

When he saw Mama Shen’s anticipatory, eager gaze, how could Shen Fu have the nerve to say that before it was all just to trick Grandpa Shen? He and Lin ShuYi simply hadn’t had a chance to do anything together yet.

The two of them stared at each other for a while before Mama Shen grew impatient. “Hurry and go, why are you being so bashful?”

As she spoke, she tugged Shen Fu and went to knock on Lin ShuYi’s door.

“Please come in.” Lin ShuYi had already changed into his bathrobe, and he was preparing to wash and go to sleep. When he saw that it was Mama Shen who had knocked, he was a little puzzled, thinking she had something to tell him. But Mama Shen only poked her head in and smiled briefly at Lin ShuYi before she pushed Shen Fu inside the room.

Shen Fu:….

Lin ShuYi:….

Now they were staring at each other.

Lin ShuYi hadn’t heard what the two of them had been talking about, but he more or less understood Mama Shen’s intentions. No matter how calm and collected he was, his face still reddened. At first, Shen Fu wasn’t thinking about that at all, but once he saw Lin ShuYi’s red face, he suddenly felt that – how could he face his own mother if he didn’t use such a good chance?

As a result, Shen Fu flipped the lock on the door with a twist of his hand, smirking as he walked slowly towards Lin ShuYi. “It looks like we have no choice but to sleep together.”

Shen Fu was taller than Lin ShuYi by an entire head. Lin ShuYi, who was typically never afraid of Shen Fu, inexplicably felt as if Shen Fu’s height gave him a sort of pressure. And Shen Fu even deepened his voice, provocatively peeling off his sweater, before he unbuttoned his shirt one button at a time right in front of Lin ShuYi. As he unbuttoned it, he stared at Lin ShuYi, his intentions self-evident.

When Shen Fu saw Lin ShuYi had started to become completely rigid, he felt like he truly used up all his strength in order not to attack him. However, it was still best to go slowly the first time. After he undid the last button, Shen Fu tugged off the shirt from his body, revealing his inverted-triangle figure and his firmly outlined abs. Lin ShuYi, who had seemed stunned, suddenly averted his face, his earlobes bright red.

It’s not like he had never seen Shen Fu’s naked body before, but he had never felt so erotic or burning hot when he saw it before. Most likely because he finally knew what was about to happen next, Lin ShuYi suddenly didn’t feel so nervous anymore. Instead, his chest loosened. But when he remembered what he saw on the internet before, a vain desire to rush out the door and flee rose in Lin ShuYi again.

But clearly, it was completely too late for that, because Shen Fu’s hands had already reached his pants. He turned to look at Lin ShuYi, the smile on his lips evident. The desire in his eyes were even more vividly depicted. “I’m going to take a shower. Together?”

Lin ShuYi turned away. “No.”
