Bai Shuijin was very shocked. So that’s why he had been practicing so hard in front of the mirror, twisting his waist and hips with all his strength…now he wished he didn’t even have a lower body.
Dancing also requires this kind of skill? This was the first time he had ever heard of it. As expected, every dancer’s understanding of dance was different.
Bai Shuijin listened in a daze. He felt like he was going to die because of what happened between him and Wang Huanxiu a few days ago. He didn’t dare to open his eyes the whole time, for fear that if he opened his eyes, he would see himself and Wang Huanxiu entangled together naked. How could he possibly carry on to the end in that kind of situation!
This was experience discrimination! What about those who had never had sex in their entire lives? What about dancers who were unable to be intimate?
Bai Shuijin spoke up loudly for the disadvantaged, “What about those who are pure-hearted and desireless?”
The teacher asked in return, “Are you a pure-hearted and desireless person?”
“…”
Teacher: “I often see you watching videos of handsome guys.”
Teacher: “You don’t seem pure-hearted and desireless either.”
Bai Shuijin was as silent as a cicada in winter.
‘You are really good at judging people.’
This was the first time he hated that his teacher knew Chinese, and also hated himself for not being deaf.
It seems that from now on, when he watches videos of handsome guys, he not only has to do it behind Wang Huanxiu’s back, but also behind his teacher’s back.
The teacher pushed the evaluation forms from the past few days into his hands, all covered in glaring red scores, “Dance requires emotion and experience. If you don’t experience it, how will you know how to express it?”
“I didn’t expect that you look quite unrestrained, but inside you’re actually quite reserved.”
For a moment, Bai Shuijin couldn’t tell if the teacher was praising him or scolding him.
At the end of class, the teacher announced that the course schedule for the next few days would be adjusted.
In a few days, it will be Chen Yuan’s graduation ceremony. After graduating high school came the longest vacation of a student’s life. Most students would go traveling everywhere or stay home enjoying themselves to the fullest.
But due to circumstances, Chen Yuan didn’t have time to relax after graduation. She only took two days off, one for the graduation ceremony, and one day to rest, after which she would dive straight back into classes without pause.
Thanks to her high school graduation, Bai Shuijin also got two days off. He could have used them to come practice on his own, but the teacher said that since he couldn’t grasp how to stretch and express himself, coming would be pointless. The teacher told him to go back and date instead.
“…”
It was always love that delayed studies, but now the teacher was forcing him to date.
After school, Bai Shuijin walked out of the venue with his backpack over his shoulder. As long as he came here for lessons, Wang Huanxiu would come to pick him up almost always. If work was too busy for him to come, he would send a message to let him know, and the family driver would come instead.
The season had already entered midsummer. The days were hot and stuffy, but by the time the sun was setting, the breeze blowing toward him could sweep away a bit of the heat.
Bai Shuijin looked at the half-hidden sun blocked by skyscrapers. The orange-yellow light reflected on the glass walls of several tall buildings, glittering brilliantly.
Now it was time to go home from school, not just for him, but also for nearby high schools. Students in uniforms walked in pairs or small groups onto the streets, laughing and joking. Without their schoolbags, they were clearly out for dinner.
After eating, they would go back for evening self-study.
At this moment, two students deliberately walked around him and hurried past.
“See? I told you he was handsome.”
“Damn, seriously. Let’s take another look.”
Admiring beautiful things was a natural instinct. The two students returned the same way and circled past Bai Shuijin again.
This time, he also noticed them, realized they were looking at him, and smiled at them politely.
The two students instantly blushed and ran off. Being caught staring at a handsome guy was very embarrassing.
Bai Shuijin rarely had such a leisurely moment. He stood by the street, dressed fashionably and beautifully, with clean shoes untouched by mud or water.
In his previous life, he had worked nonstop. To arrive at work on time, he had to cross many dirty, narrow alleys everyday, and his shoes would never be clean.
Now he could watch the street scenery and the setting sun with ease. He felt a sense of ease and comfort that he had never experienced in his previous life.
Without realizing it, it seemed he was living the life he had always dreamed of, no longer running around for survival and just living quietly.
However, the Rolls-Royce Wang Huanxiu often drove was still nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he had changed cars? He stretched his neck to look into the distance.
The message he sent got no reply, and when he called, it showed that the phone was off.
Bai Shuijin’s expression was uneasy. Nothing had happened, right? He didn’t dare to think in a bad direction.
Another half hour passed before Wang Huanxiu finally arrived.
Bai Shuijin got into the car. He wanted to ask why Wang Huanxiu was late today and if something had happened.
Wang Pingtian had been arrested, and Wang Huanxiu had a lot to deal with, especially since Wang Pingtian was the old man’s most beloved grandson. That whole family was not easy to deal with.
Before he could say anything, Wang Huanxiu explained first, “There was traffic on the overpass, and my phone was out of battery too.”
Not being able to reach him had made Bai Shuijin worry for a long time. Seeing that he was fine, the weight in his heart lifted. “Why didn’t you charge your phone?”
“I forgot.” he didn’t look Bai Shuijin in the eye when he spoke.
Bai Shuijin nodded. Wang Huanxiu received countless messages everyday, so it was normal for his phone to run out of battery.
The dead phone was lying in the storage slot. It ran out of battery so easily…it had even disrupted their sweet talk.
They could have chatted a bit during the traffic jam.
Bai Shuijin didn’t have a driver’s license and had never driven a car, so he completely forgot there was a car phone.
Wang Huanxiu looked at him with a smile. “Were you worried about me?”
‘Sir, you’re smiling so naughtily, you’re making me want to rip your clothes off and take a look.’
Like an eagle, Bai Shuijin nodded without denying his worry.
Wang Huanxiu’s left arm throbbed faintly. As he was leaving work today, the elevator down to the underground parking lot suddenly plummeted. Due to gravity and inertia, everyone inside fell, and he also hit his arm.
Fortunately, the elevator had a buffer layer. When it dropped rapidly to the third floor, it made an emergency stop, ensuring the safety of all people in the elevator.
An elevator suddenly losing weight and dropping at high speed was something no one could foresee. It happened so suddenly there wasn’t even time to think of last words.
The floor was littered with debris. The key personnel from the eighteenth floor walked out of the elevator, not a single pair of intact glasses among them.
Chen Ji wore only the empty frame of his glasses. “President Wang, you’re not dead, right?”
“…I’m fine.”
Among the casualties was also Wang Huanxiu’s broken phone.
Fortunately, no one in the elevator was seriously injured and everyone only suffered some minor injuries.
Everyone sits in the office all day, but apparently, they all had thick skins and tough muscles, so their HP bars only decreased a little.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone from the eighteenth floor changed, each filled with suspicion.
Sure enough, they had all been sneaking off to the gym in secret!
Chief Secretary: “I’ve lost more from cutting my nails than from this.”
“…”
All damages from the elevator incident would be reimbursed at the company tomorrow.
Wang Huanxiu’s left arm was badly bruised, making movement temporarily inconvenient, but he never cared much for his own injuries. After a quick treatment from a private doctor, he went to pick up Bai Shuijin.
His left arm was stiff, and his eyes darkened when he saw Bai Shuijin admit he had been worried.
They would have to sleep in separate rooms for the next few days.
The injury wasn’t serious, but it was still wrapped in a layer of bandages, and he couldn’t let Bai Shuijin see it.
So, when Bai Shuijin wanted to watch TV together after dinner, he was met with Wang Huanxiu’s merciless refusal.
“I have to go back to work.”
Bai Shuijin: QAQ!
With a body temperature of over 30 degrees, yet he could say something so cold. Before, he rubbed his legs all night, but now he won’t even watch TV together.
‘Sir, your closeness and distance are making me feel insecure.’
Wang Huanxiu was expressionless. If they sat together to watch TV, Bai Shuijin would definitely start touching him. His favorite thing to do was putting his hands into his sleeves or under his shirt to touch his muscles.
Bai Shuijin didn’t have ADHD, but his hands did.
If he watched TV with him now, he would definitely be exposed.
Bai Shuijin held out a finger. “Just one episode, okay?”
The expectant look in his eyes was a direct hit to Wang Huanxiu. Why was his expression so cute? What was he doing being so cute?
He frowned and said, “No.”
Bai Shuijin: “I won’t do anything to you.”
Suspicion appeared in Wang Huanxiu’s eyes.
Bai Shuijin: “Why are you looking at me like that? When have I ever done this or that to you while we were watching TV?”
“You can leave now.”
“TV is so good to watch, it’s a pity someone has to work tonight.”
A voice suddenly interrupted. “Actually, I didn’t really want to watch TV with you either. But the show you’re putting on is very interesting.”
Bai Shuijin: “…”
Wang Huanxiu: “…”
Wang Muguang was eating pistachios on the side, witnessing the entire process of Bai Shuijin’s mental breakdown.
Wang Huanxiu chuckled. “I’m just busy with work today.”
Bai Shuijin’s heart lifted. “Then what about tomorrow?”
Wang Huanxiu’s smile faded, “I will be busy tomorrow too.”
“…”
Bai Shuijin: We have broken up now. It’s my idea.
Wang Huanxiu went upstairs to work, while Bai Shuijin sprawled on the sofa like a salted fish.
Tonight’s wind was as cold as a certain bad man’s heart.
Wang Muguang threw him a few pistachios and said, “Weren’t you going to watch TV?”
Bai Shuijin: “I’m not in the mood anymore.”
“Visual?”
“Tactile.”
Bai Shuijin flipped himself over to get even lighting and looked at Wang Muguang, who was still lazing at home. “Didn’t you say you hadn’t finished filming your scenes for the movie? Is it okay for you to keep staying in the country?”
“I’m leaving in a few days. I just got the notice from the crew today.”
After another half month of filming, the movie would be finished.
Wang Muguang attached great importance to this movie. On set, he went to bed at three or four in the morning almost every day. If he couldn’t figure out the plot, it would keep him up at night.
The two of them were chatting back and forth when Wang Zhenzhu came running downstairs in a nightdress. She had gone up to the third floor after dinner to work on some drawings.
Now her hair was in a perfect bun with a pencil stuck in it.
She came over and squeezed herself between Wang Muguang and Bai Shuijin. “The day after tomorrow is my graduation ceremony. Let’s go to the theme park after that. I saw on their official site that they’ve released new plushies. We can go shopping and have some fun.”
Right now, both Bai Shuijin and Wang Zhenzhu were the exam candidates in the family, so chances to go out and play were rare.
For a rich young lady like Wang Zhenzhu, getting the new limited-edition plushies was very easy. She could just have someone buy them for her. As long as the price was high enough, she would always get them in the end.
But schoolwork had been overwhelming recently and has had no chance to breathe. This graduation ceremony would finally give her a chance to relax.
Wang Zhenzhu asked Bai Shuijin, “It’s the day after tomorrow. Are you free that day?”
Bai Shuijin: “I happen to be on holiday.”
“That’s great!” Wang Zhenzhu lay back contentedly, patting Bai Shuijin on the back. “I didn’t expect you to have time off. Is it because classes have been too tiring lately, so the teacher gave you a break?”
Thinking of the ridiculous reason the teacher gave for the break, even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn’t say it out loud.
They gave him a “make-love” holiday.
A dog hearing it would just drop dead.
Wang Zhenzhu: “Shujin Danzi, why don’t you ask my big brother if he wants to go too?”
Bai Shuijin turned back in confusion. “Who are you calling Shujin Danzi?”
“You, of course.”
“Why are you calling me that? It sounds weird.”
“Don’t you understand affectionate nicknames?” Wang Zhenzhu: “This is proof of our good relationship. Don’t a lot of sayings and proverbs say ‘precious egg this, precious egg that.’ You can call me Zhenzhu Danzi too.”
**”Danzi” literally means “egg,” but in nicknames it’s used as a cute or affectionate suffix. Similar to calling someone “sweetie,” “cutie,” or “little darling”.
After the explanation, Bai Shuijin’s face turned red. He didn’t expect Wang Zhenzhu to describe his precious balls so bluntly.
Seeing his shy expression, Wang Zhenzhu smiled mischievously. “Don’t fall in love with me.”
Wang Muguang cracked a pistachio and said, “Zhenzhu, big brother just went to work, he’s not dead.”
Wang Zhenzhu shivered instantly. “There’s no result between us. I don’t do 4i.”
Bai Shuijin: … He didn’t either, okay!
Bai Shuijin hesitated. “Laogong-ge is so busy…can he go?”
“Of course he can. Let’s go ask him together. Big brother won’t say no.”
They knocked on the study door on the fourth floor, and Bai Shuijin and Wang Zhenzhu walked in. Wang Huanxiu was processing documents.
“What’s wrong?”
When he looked up, he saw the eager faces of Bai Shuijin and Wang Zhenzhu.
“Big Brother.”
“Laogong-ge.”
In unison: “Can we go to the theme park in a few days?”
Wang Huanxiu: “…”
A few days later, Wang Zhenzhu stood in front of a uniquely styled wooden cabin in a fitted dress, posing for photos.
Wang Muguang, who was bundled up like a thief, was directing Bai Shuijin on how to catch the right camera angle.
Wang Huanxiu stood behind the three of them, holding their things.
He rarely came to such places of childlike fun. Everywhere were iconic buildings and attractions from animated films. He had only been here once when he was a child.
But Bai Shuijin and the other two were different. The moment they entered, their eyes lit up like light bulbs. They walked a bit, stopped, and shopped frantically, buying headbands, plushies, keychains and so on.
The rare holiday made Bai Shuijin and Wang Zhenzhu feel like they had just been released from prison.
They decided to have a good time today, otherwise, they wouldn’t get to play again for months. With a huge workload ahead and no chance to travel abroad to play, they would just have fun here.
After the photos, Bai Shuijin’s back was burning from the sun, so he hurried back under the shade of the umbrella in Wang Huanxiu’s hand.
“Laogong-ge, it’s too hot.”
Wang Huanxiu rummaged through the cartoon backpack Bai Shuijin had bought, found a small electric fan, and turned it on to blow on him.
Bai Shuijin narrowed his eyes in comfort.
These past few days, Wang Huanxiu hadn’t spent much time with him at night, always using the excuse of being busy with work. Even when he enthusiastically invited him to the master bedroom, Wang Huanxiu still wore a pure-hearted, desireless face.
It wasn’t like this when he was begging to rub his legs before.
Dog man, always pretending.
Bai Shuijin didn’t forget the real point of his holiday; to break through the bottleneck with a fierce and satisfying ZUOAI!
**ZUOAI means to make love/have sex.
At first, he was tangled and shy, and just thinking about it made him go crazy at night and curl his toes in embarrassment. But now it was different.
The more Wang Huanxiu avoided him, the more he wanted him.
The harder he avoided, the more excited he became. Normal love was heart-stirring, but the perversion of forced love was even more thrilling.
Seeing Wang Huanxiu looking at him, Bai Shuijin deliberately licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue. “Laogong-ge, I’m a little thirsty.”
The soft red tip of the tongue flashed by and disappeared at the corner of the mouth.
Wang Huanxiu held his wrist and asked, “What do you want to drink?”
“They have mixed fruit juice over there.”
Bai Shuijin pointed toward it. The packaging even had a cartoon character sleeve, and he looked very tempted.
Wang Huanxiu handed him the umbrella and went to buy him the juice. The oddly shaped cup of juice even had square ice cubes inside.
Bai Shuijin gulped down several big mouthfuls, the heat in his body replaced by the sweet, refreshing juice.
When Wang Muguang came back and saw Bai Shuijin with juice, he went to buy a cup too.
Wang Zhenzhu didn’t really like juice. She preferred milk and planned to eat and drink more at the theme restaurant later.
Wang Muguang drained over half his cup in one go. The oddly shaped cup was large, so drinking half of it was almost like finishing a whole bottle of water.
The water pump truck had arrived at the supply station.
Bai Shuijin stared wide-eyed. He thought that Wang Muguang’s skill was kind of cool and wanted to learn it. But the rest of his juice had other uses.
“Laogong-ge, do you want some?”
He had been holding the juice cup for a long time, and the temperature of his palm had become cool. He reached out to touch Wang Huanxiu’s neck and tilted his head. “Do you want a sip?”
Cool fingertips brushed against the skin. Today, Bai Shuijin wore a beige short-sleeved shirt with a sailor-style collar, knee-length navy blue pants, and a pair of comfortable sneakers for walking.
The bright sun carried youthful vitality, and it was as warm as a little sun.
“I’ll feed you.”
Bai Shuijin held the juice cup up to him, and Wang Huanxiu lowered his head to take the straw in his mouth.
Just as he was about to drink, Bai Shuijin pulled the cup away, and his cool lips brushed against Wang Huanxiu’s face.
A little trick between lovers.
Being kissed suddenly, the corners of Wang Huanxiu’s mouth became harder to control than an AK.
Wang Muguang slurped his juice on the side. “Big Brother, what are you laughing at? You didn’t even get the juice in your mouth.”
Wang Huanxiu: “…”
Wang Zhenzhu: “…”
He saw it clearly; Bai Shuijin had pulled the straw away halfway through sucking the juice up, so his brother didn’t actually get any.
Wang Zhenzhu looked at Wang Muguang and said, “You can drink that crappy juice for the rest of your life.”
Wherever Wang Muguang was, romance came to an end.
Recently, Wang Huanxiu found Wang Muguang a bit of an eyesore. After all, ever since he came back for vacation, he had ruined his good moments countless times.
If not for the fact they shared the same father and mother, he would have beaten him to death long ago.
Wang Muguang didn’t sense anything wrong, and even felt proud about how he always appeared at the right moment.
Wang Zhenzhu suggested having lunch. Instead of sitting in the sun editing photos, why not go to a restaurant with air conditioning?
Bai Shuijin was particularly clingy today. The staff in the theme restaurant were all very good-looking and pleasing to the eye, but he didn’t look.
Several people sat down together. Even the tables here were specially decorated, with many delicate carved patterns on them.
When a handsome guy came over to take Bai Shuijin’s order, he ignored him. When a handsome guy came over to pour water, he acted like he didn’t see.
It was not for any other reason, just because he wanted to seduce Wang Huanxiu today.
Wang Huanxiu was sitting beside him, and he leaned over eagerly. “Laogong-ge, I won’t even look at a single handsome guy. I don’t like looking anymore.”
After saying that, he turned his head toward the window, the resolute back of the head seemingly declaring his determination.
Wang Muguang opened his mouth and said, “You’re looking at the one next door.”
Bai Shuijin: “…”
Wang Huanxiu: “…”
Bai Shuijin was very attentive to Wang Huanxiu today. When the steak arrived, he even cut it up first before handing it to him.
Wang Zhenzhu was a little dumbfounded.
Although Bai Shuijin was considerate, he had never been this attentive before.
Could it be they were playing some kind of role-playing game again?
Wang Huanxiu also sensed something off. Just from the fact that he wasn’t looking at handsome guys, he knew there was some trick here.
After lunch, Wang Zhenzhu went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, while Wang Muguang was recognized by fans and went to take photos quietly.
Bai Shuijin was still eating, his cheeks puffing in and out. Wang Huanxiu didn’t like carrots, so used a fork to pick them out and put them into his own mouth.
Wang Huanxiu held the back of his neck, waiting for him to speak his real request.
He didn’t know what Bai Shuijin wanted, but as long as he asked, he wouldn’t refuse.
When Bai Shuijin finished eating, he asked, “Do you want something?”
Wang Huanxiu leaned closer. “You’ve been really clingy today.”
A big smile appeared on Bai Shuijin’s face. “Laogong-ge, you noticed.”
“What I want is just a small request, really easy to fulfill.”
He pinched two fingers together, showing just how small the request was.
“Let’s hear it.”
Bai Shuijin leaned to his ear and said something in a voice only the two of them could hear.
When Wang Muguang came back, he saw Wang Huanxiu looking at him strangely.
“Big Brother, what’s wrong?”
Was there rice stuck to his handsome face?
Wang Muguang quickly touched his face…fortunately, there was nothing.
Wang Huanxiu’s eyes were full of vigilance.
No matter what, he could not let Wang Muguang go home today.
After hearing such a bold and explicit confession, Wang Huanxiu knew that if he wanted everything to go smoothly tonight, Wang Muguang could not be there.
Otherwise, everything good would be ruined.
—-“Laogong-ge, can we rub tonight? Even going in is fine.”
These words looped endlessly in Wang Huanxiu’s ears.
They left the theme park at 11 p.m. Wang Zhenzhu went to her friend’s place to sleep. Since graduating, they had both been busy with schoolwork, so tonight they were going to talk all night.
Wang Muguang, however, was sent back to look for a bag.
Bai Shuijin’s cartoon backpack had gone missing, and Wang Muguang volunteered to find it, falling right into the trap.
When he returned, his brother and Bai Shuijin were already gone. A message came to his phone.
[Something urgent came up, so we left first. There’s money, food, and ID in the bag. Find a car and get home on your own.]
Looking at the message, Wang Muguang figured they must have had an emergency. They had left in such a hurry they forgot him, and when they realized they hadn’t brought him, they sent him a message.
He could have just taken a taxi, but his eyes were drawn to a shuttle bus not far away. He had never ridden one before. The last one was in ten minutes, so he decided to wait.
There was an old man waiting with him, and they started chatting.
“Grandpa, why are you leaving so late?”
“My daughter works here. I’m waiting for her. What about you?”
“Me? My brother forgot me when he left.” Wang Muguang said, “But they left me a lot of things.”
He showed the old man the things in the backpack.
The old man’s expression changed as he looked at him. “Son, this isn’t called forgetting. This is called abandonment.”
