SBGS Extra 14

“Xiao Yan, I heard from your teacher that you have been studying well recently, listening carefully in class, and even handing in your homework on time.”

On Saturday night, Shen’s parents sat at home and video-called Shen Boyan.

The background of Shen Boyan’s video was either an empty living room or an empty bedroom. The two parents didn’t know whether they should be relieved that their son didn’t go out to cause trouble or worried that he would have problems staying at home all day at such a young age.

“Ah, this.”

In the big sofa opposite the TV in the living room, Shen Boyan half leaned on the back of the sofa, one foot swaying on the stool opposite, two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned, revealing tight and firm youthful skin; his expression was carefree—if his background was a place of feasting and drinking, it would be more fitting.

Shen Boyan said nonchalantly, “I’ve just reformed myself recently; don’t be nervous.”

Parents: What do you mean by reform? Say that again.

Since their child is learning well and not doing anything bad, Shen’s parents didn’t dwell on this matter. They asked about the recent situation for a while and reminded him to wear more clothes because the weather was getting cold recently. When it’s almost time for them to hang up, Shen’s parents heard a strange voice from their son’s side.

“Shen Boyan, where is my clothes hanger?”

Mother Shen was the first to react: “Xiao Yan, what’s the sound over there?”

The voice was fleeting. If Shen Boyan didn’t respond or say something, they would have thought it was the sound from the next room or something. However, Shen Boyan raised an eyebrow when he heard the question. As if his parents weren’t suspicious enough, he said towards the balcony:

“How come you don’t even know this?”

He seemed to be complaining, but his eyes were full of arrogant and indulgent smiles.

This time even Father Shen heard it clearly.

“Xiao Yan, is there anyone over there?”

“No one.” Shen Boyan said lazily:

“Just a friend.”

“What friend?” Shen’s parents said vigilantly:

“The friend you met over there? Is he your classmate?” The voice just now sounded quite young.

“Oh, don’t ask. Anyway, that’s my friend. Ok, I’m hanging up.”

“No, no, no, Shen Boyan, come back and tell us what you have to say–”

The video was suddenly hung up.

Shen’s parents: “…”

The two parents looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. Their son, who looked easy to talk to and had friends all over the world, actually didn’t even have any good friends. When he was in Rongchuan, he was alone and acted like he was the best in the world. The only person he recognized as a friend and brought home was the one on the other side of the video.

But the problem was: their son didn’t let them see that friend either.

Father Shen gritted his teeth and said after a long while, “This kid, he deserves a lesson!”

On the other side, Shen Boyan decisively pressed the red button. After the screen returned to the main page, he stood up and walked to Xia Shu’an, who came back from the balcony to hang clothes.

Reach out, bend down—hug.

“Xia Xia.”

Here it comes again. He’s acting like a spoiled child again.

Xia Shu’an allowed the other party to hug him and said, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Boyan buried his face in his neck: “Xia Xia, come back with me during the holidays, okay?”

Xia Shu’an was slightly stunned, a little at a loss. Although he had a good relationship with Shen Boyan, it was too strange to go back home with a friend during the holidays, especially during the Chinese New Year.

“Let’s talk about it later.”

“No, you have to promise me now; I just introduced you to my parents.”

“Oh, is that so? I just heard you tell them not to ask.”

Damn, the house is not big enough. You can still hear it from such a distance!

“That’s because Xia Xia hasn’t agreed to go back with me, and I dare not tell them. What if I tell them first and you don’t want to go back with me? How embarrassing would that be?”

What? It’s not like you’re bringing my girlfriend home; what’s so embarrassing about it?

Xia Shu’an had no choice but to say, “Let’s wait and see; if I have time, we can go over and play for a week.”

Shen Boyan opened his mouth to speak, but after some thought, he closed it again—in short, he tricked Xia Xia over first, and when he reached his territory, there was no room for him to leave if he wanted.

The tall boy didn’t think his idea was dangerous at all. He pouted and looked at Xia Shu’an as if he were in a difficult situation, finally sighing.

“Okay.”

“All up to you.”

He raised his face again, with an innocent face like a child wanting to eat ice cream:

“Xia Xia, I want to kiss.”

Xia Shu’an had no expression on his face:

“No, impossible.”

The boy frowned: “Didn’t you say once a day?”

Xia Shu’an: I didn’t say that, ok?

The two had been together for so long that Shen Boyan could read his expression.

“Then once every two days should be fine.”

He had a look of “I’m at a disadvantage.”

Xia Shu’an was so angry that he laughed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the boy had already kissed him. They had indeed kissed too many times during this period. Xia Shu’an couldn’t help but raise his neck to present a suitable kissing posture.

This action was a welcome and a flattery to Shen Boyan. He picked up Xia Shu’an without hesitation, walked a few steps to the sofa, and put him down. His big palms imprisoned the boy in the corner of the sofa, kissing his best friend wantonly and ostentatiously.

Xia Shu’an was kissed stupid, but the still-working brain was thinking: It’s getting weirder and weirder. What’s the difference between this and that?

No–

The boy broke free from the tall boy’s big and powerful palm and pushed him hard.

“Shen Boyan–”

His strength was almost nothing to Shen Boyan, but his mental attack was stronger. Shen Boyan grabbed his hand unhappily, nibbling on his fingers and turning his head back to kiss the boy who was gasping for air. The boy said vaguely:

“I thought we agreed on once a day.”

Xia Shu’an’s mind was in a daze. He was a person who understood current affairs, but since he had already been kissed, he could only retreat and negotiate on the basis of being kissed:

“Only five minutes at a time.”

Shen Boyan followed his breath, his voice slightly hoarse:

“Half an hour.”

“Five minutes!”

“Ten minutes, okay, ten minutes.”

“…”

Although he said so, Xia Shu’an still felt that it was more than ten minutes.

When you get used to something, your willpower will really be worn out. Xia Shu’an has now accepted the “ten minutes every day” thing. It mostly happens after they get back from school. Sometimes it’s when Xia Shu’an goes to the kitchen to find Shen Boyan before dinner; sometimes it’s when Xia Shu’an comes out of the room after taking a shower and is pressed against the refrigerator by the tall boy; and sometimes it’s when Xia Shu’an is too serious about doing homework and ignores Shen Boyan, and there are even “extra meals” on weekends.

Shen Boyan calls it “double happy time on weekends”.

Shen Boyan is shameless, and Xia Shu’an is too proud to say he regrets it. He can only try to get the time right. Later, he got a complaint from Shen Boyan, saying that he must become an accountant in the future, since he’s so good at managing.

Xia Shu’an: “I don’t want to be an accountant.”

He said, “I want to study physics.”

Shen Boyan: “Okay, okay, study, keep studying.”

By the way, he was still hugging Xia Shu’an when he said this.

A week later, the results of the physics competition came out. Xia Shu’an won the first prize. Shen Boyan was happier than Xia Shu’an. He made a big fuss about celebrating with Xia Shu’an for an entire day.

That day, he completely centered around Xia Shu’an, giving him a great celebration.

At the end of the day, they went to the bakery to buy a small cake.

Xia Shu’an: “Why buy a small cake? It’s not a birthday.”

Shen Boyan: “Xia Xia is happy every day, so every day is worth celebrating, just as important as a birthday.”

Xia Shu’an: “….”

How can he respond to this!

Xia Shu’an returned home dizzy with great joy. That night was their “sleeping together night”. After taking a shower, Xia Shu’an got into the quilt. Shen Boyan stretched out his arms and wrapped them around him, stroking his head again and again.

Xia Shu’an’s already dizzy head became even more dizzy; he stopped thinking and stopped moving. He was in a mess.

“Xia Xia, can you come home with me during the holidays?”

Xia Shu’an felt that he didn’t play fair. If he was more aggressive and unreasonable, he could still refuse, but he was so gentle and doting, so he couldn’t say no at all.

The boy’s kiss fell on his hair, as soft as a dragonfly skimming across the lake.

Xia Shu’an looked at him: “Didn’t I say before that I would listen to you on the day of my award celebration? As long as you ask me, I will agree.”

The boy’s mouth slowly raised into a smile, with cunning light in his eyes:

“Idiot, I’m just talking nonsense, and only you will believe it. How can someone who should be celebrated listen to the words of the person who celebrates him? I won’t ask; I know you will definitely agree with me.”

“So confident?”

“Yes, that’s how confident I am.”

Xia Shu’an stared at Shen Boyan closely; the boy’s pupils were shining, confident, and flamboyant, just like the first time he saw him. Xia Shu’an sometimes felt that he didn’t want that light to disappear, so he would give in step by step until he could only shrink in the boy’s tiny embrace.

“Okay, I promise you.”

Shen Boyan was stunned for a second, and then he was ecstatic. He hugged Xia Shu’an tightly and only let go of him after Xia Shu’an cried out in pain. He rolled on the bed for a while before hugging Xia Shu’an again.

“Xia Xia.” He called gently.

“En, what’s the matter?”

The boy lay on his side on the pillow, his eyes level with Xia Shu’an, burning with sincerity: “Although I said I wouldn’t ask you to do anything, I do have a request.”

“What is it?”

Shen Boyan looked at him and said word by word, “I want Xia Xia to be happy every day, healthy and happy forever.”

Damn, he’s been tricked again!
