Shen Qingzhuo was a little happy to have picked up a younger brother for free.
He was an only child, and his parents were busy with their careers and social events all year round. The only person who had grown up with him since he was young was the nanny at home. He always envied his peers who had brothers and sisters to play with.
“Gege will protect you.” Shen Qingzhuo touched the boy’s head again. “Go take a shower first, I’ll find you some clothes.”
Xiao Shen smiled and replied, “Okay, Gege!”
Shen Qingzhuo walked into his room and looked for clothes. After thinking about the height of the child, he found loose sportswear and unopened underwear.
“No way, Ah Zhuo, is this what it means to be relied upon?” Lin Jinyu leaned against the door frame. “You have to be a little defensive, you can’t…”
“He’s just a high school student. What are you worried about?” Shen Qingzhuo turned around with the clothes in his hand. “That kid is really pitiful. I’m very happy to be able to help him.”
Lin Jinyu had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.
His childhood friend always thinks the best of others. With such an unguarded personality, how can he take over the huge Shen’s business in the future?
Shen Qingzhuo didn’t know what he was thinking. He took the clothes and walked to the bathroom, knocking on the glass door, “I put the clothes on the stool at the door.”
“Okay, thank you, Gege!” The child’s voice came from the bathroom.
After a while, Xiao Shen put on his clothes and came out.
Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyes and was slightly stunned.
The boy’s brown hair was wet, and water drops were flowing down the end of his hair.
The loose sportswear looked quite tight on him, and the muscle lines of his arms were firm and smooth. When he walked, the shape of his abdominal muscles was faintly imprinted. It was impossible to see the figure hidden under the white T-shirt. It was so solid.
“Gege, I’m done.” Xiao Shen smiled and found that his eyes stayed on him, and he pulled at his sweatshirt embarrassedly.
“It seems a little small.” Shen Qingzhuo put away his phone and said sourly, “I didn’t realize that you have a good figure.”
What’s going on? Kids nowadays are not only taller but also have better figures than him?
“Do I have a good figure?” Xiao Shen blinked and touched the back of his head shyly, “I am studying sports, Gege, maybe because I practice more.”
Shen Qingzhuo was relieved immediately: “Ah, so that’s how it is.”
He stood up and walked back to the bedroom and took out another white towel. “Wipe your hair.”
Xiao Shen subconsciously glanced at his injured right hand but did not ask for help. Instead, he took the towel obediently and clumsily wiped his hair with one hand.
Seeing how clumsy he was, Shen Qingzhuo couldn’t help but say, “Let me help you.”
“Okay.” Xiao Shen immediately handed him the towel and lowered his head, like a dog begging for a pet.
Shen Qingzhuo wrapped the towel around his wet hair, absorbed the excess water, and rubbed it a few times. “Is it okay?”
Xiao Shen shook his head violently. “It’s a little drier than before.”
Caught off guard, Shen Qingzhuo dodged back with a smile and covered his head with a towel again, “Are you a puppy? You splashed water on my face.”
“Woof! Woof, woof, woof!” Xiao Shen really imitated a dog’s bark, his voice full of expectation, “Gege, am I imitating well?”
“Hahaha.” Shen Qingzhuo laughed so hard that he fell backwards, wiping his hair while laughing, “You really made me laugh to death.”
Remember that people really pay attention to aura and fate. They have only been together for one night, but it seems like they have known each other for many years.
In order to take care of the little injured, Young Master Shen decided to give up his bedroom and sleep on the sofa for the first time.
Although he had never slept on the sofa, but it was a good experience once in a while.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shen refused sternly: “No, how can I occupy the magpie’s nest and let Gege sleep on the sofa?”
“I can’t let you sleep on the sofa either.” Shen Qingzhuo pushed him insiden. “Be good.”
At this time, Lin Jinyu, who was passing by, shouted, “It’s okay, Ah Zhuo, you can come with me.”
“Let’s sleep together.” Xiao Shen turned around and tugged at his gege’s sleeve, “Each of us has half of the bed. I sleep very well, Gege.”
Half an hour later, Shen Qingzhuo came out of the bathroom and walked to the bed very lightly.
The child had fallen asleep, with his hands neatly placed on both sides, occupying less than one-third of the space. As he said, he slept very well.
Shen Qingzhuo took another look, lifted the thin blanket, and lay down on the bed.
Young Master Shen, who almost never shared a bed with others, thought it would be difficult to fall asleep tonight, but there was a refreshing boyish scent beside him, mixed with the smell of his usual shower gel, which unexpectedly made him feel at ease.
Soon, his breathing became even and long.
In the darkness, the boy who should have fallen into a deep sleep suddenly opened his eyes.
He turned his head, his eyes gradually adapting to the darkness, and with the light from the window, a vague yet familiar face came into view.
“Shen Qingzhuo…” He silently chanted, stretching out his fingers to vaguely trace the delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
It was this face that often appeared in his dreams a long time ago.
At first, he couldn’t see that person’s appearance at all, and then gradually there was a hazy shadow, as if it was always separated by a layer of gauze.
He didn’t know who that person was, but he knew that he must be an important person. In his recent dream, they even did the most intimate thing in the world.
Every time he woke up from the dream, he felt lost.
Until he saw Shen Qingzhuo in the bar, at that moment, his heartbeat suddenly became disordered, “bang, bang” hitting his chest nonstop.
The beauty in his dream finally had a clear face.
“Is it you? It must be you, right?” The dark eyes emitted a strange light, and the tentative fingertips finally touched the calm face.
Soft, plump, tender skin.
Since Shen Qingzhuo had a younger brother, his life has changed quietly.
They added each other on WeChat, and the child would say good morning and good night to him every day,l and share his latest mood with him at all times, from the cute cats passing by to the good results achieved in training, he shared them all with him seriously and happily.
Sometimes he was busy and didn’t reply in time, but the kids wouldn’t bombard him either. When he was free to reply, he would send a grievance-looking puppy emoji.
Shen Qingzhuo didn’t feel annoyed. The daily life of a sports student was something he had never touched before. It was full of health and vitality, and he felt that he had become sunny.
At the same time, several brothers in the dormitory felt that their Lao San had changed recently. Lao Er asked suspiciously, “Lao San, are you dating behind our backs?”
“No ah.” Shen Qingzhuo was holding his phone and replying to messages, shrugging innocently.
“That’s not right!” Lao Er moved a chair over, sat in front of him, and stared at him. “Lao San, you must be in love!”
Shen Qingzhuo shook his head and denied, “I really didn’t.”
“Lao San, if you like a girl, let the brothers help you check.” Lao Da took off his headphones and came to join in the fun.
“What are you talking about?” Lao Si pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes immediately swept to Shen Qingzhuo, “You are in love?”
Shen Qingzhuo: “……”
He raised his phone helplessly, “Just chatting with a high school student.”
“Damn! Underage?” Lao Er was so excited that he almost fell to the ground. “Lao San, you are capable ah!”
“What are you guys thinking about?” Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly, “It’s a boy, a younger brother I know.”
“Tsk, I thought Lao San finally got it, boring.” Lao Er found it boring and moved his chair away again.
Lao Si frowned and asked, “When did you meet? Do we know each other?”
“I met him by accident.” Shen Qingzhuo said and opened WeChat again, clicked into the dialog box, and a headshot appeared on the screen.
Somehow, he suddenly felt a little guilty and turned off the screen. “He will come to play with me tonight. Wanna play together?”
After school, Shen Qingzhuo and his roommates stood side by side at the gate of A University, becoming the most beautiful scenery.
After rejecting the eighth person who tried to ask for his WeChat, he finally waited for the kid.
“Gege!” Xiao Shen locked onto the beautiful and upright figure in the crowd at a glance, waved from afar, and was visibly happy.
Shen Qingzhuo looked closely. It was not summer yet, but the kid was already wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts. He ran like a powerful wolf.
“Gege, I’m sorry, I’m late!” Xiao Shen ran up to him and braked suddenly. His heart and eyes were filled with his gege.
“It’s okay. Let me introduce you.” Shen Qingzhuo pointed to his roommates on both sides. “Our dormitory’s Lao Da, Lao Er, and Lao Si.”
Lao Da and Lao Er greeted him in a friendly manner, but Lao Si looked him up and down with an unfriendly look.
Xiao Shen instantly felt this hostility, but he just greeted them calmly, looking very obedient.
“Let’s go eat first, there may be other activities later.” Shen Qingzhuo touched the child’s half-dried hair. “Let’s go.”
After the meal, except for Lao Si, the other two people’s attitude towards the polite and talkative high school student changed greatly.
When they learned that the high school student was a swimming specialty student and had won medals for the city, they gave him a thumbs up.
“Gege, do you want to eat this?” Xiao Shen sat next to his gege, answering other people’s questions while picking up a chopstick of food.
Lao Si was about to say that Lao San didn’t like to eat the food that others picked, but he saw him eating it as if nothing had happened already.
“You high school students, don’t you have to study at night?” Lao Si felt a little upset, and his tone became worse.
Xiao Shen smiled and replied, “We usually train at night, but today is our turn to rest.”
Lao Si: “……”
After finishing the meal, Lao Si took Shen Qingzhuo’s shoulder first and leaned over to whisper something.
Behind him, Xiao Shen’s eyes darkened, and he glanced at the table and deliberately bumped into it.
With a “crash”, the wine bottles and dishes on the table were overturned.
Shen Qingzhuo was startled and broke away from Lao Si and walked over, “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay, hiss—” Xiao Shen covered his waist and abdomen, his face full of guilt. “I’m sorry, Gege, I was too careless.”
Shen Qingzhuo lifted up his T-shirt and took a look. There was a large bruise, which was painful just by looking.
He immediately reached out to support the boy and then looked at the boss, who hurried over, “Boss, add the loss to the bill.”
So, Lao Si could only grit his teeth and watch the high school student leaning on Shen Qingzhuo’s arms and walking out.
Now he was sure that this high school student was a green tea b*tch[mfn]Refers to a girl who seems innocent and charming but is actually calculating and manipulative.[/mfn]!
After walking out of the door, Shen Qingzhuo turned around and said, “You guys go play first, I’ll send him back and then come find you all.”
Lao Si coldly said, “It’s not far, how about taking a taxi to send him back?”
“I’m fine, go play, Gege.” Xiao Shen pursed his lips and pretended to be strong. “It’s just a minor injury, I can go back by myself.”
Shen Qingzhuo shook his head: “There’s nothing fun anyway, I’d better take you back.”
The five-people trip successfully turned into a two-people trip.
After walking for a while, Xiao Shen suddenly asked in a low voice, “Gege, can I sleep at your place tonight?”
“What’s wrong?” Shen Qingzhuo was puzzled. “At this time, the school should not be closed yet.”
“Something happened between me and my roommates today…” Xiao Shen stammered, “Not at all pleasant.”
Shen Qingzhuo remembered the scene he saw in the alley that day and couldn’t help but stop and ask in a serious tone, “Xiao Shen, did you encounter school violence?”
He grew up in the spotlight, but he knew that in every school, there are people who are bullied for various reasons.
“No!” Xiao Shen hurriedly turned his head away, avoiding his sight. “It’s just a little friction, it will be fine tomorrow.”
Shen Qingzhuo looked at him and softened his tone: “Gege is older than you, and my way of dealing with problems is more mature than yours. If you are bullied at school, you must tell Gege and Gege will help you, okay?”
In an instant, Xiao Shen couldn’t help but feel a sour feeling rising in his nose.
He just wanted to act pitiful, but he didn’t expect his gege to take it seriously.
This was the first time, the first time someone cared if he was bullied, the first time someone wanted to protect him.
“Gege…” He asked in a nasal voice, expectantly and carefully, “Can I hug you?”
“En?” Shen Qingzhuo was a little confused by the sudden change of topic. After coming to his senses, he smiled and opened his arms, “Of course.”
Xiao Shen sniffed and hugged him in his arms.
This hug seemed to fill his heart that had been empty for a long time. He tightened his arms contentedly and took a deep breath of the clear plum fragrance.
Their embrace fits so well, as if they were born to be each other’s other half.
Shen Qingzhuo brought the boy back to the apartment.
This time, his childhood friend was not there, so Xiao Shen was more casual.
“I’ll treat your injury.” Shen Qingzhuo walked to the wall cabinet and tiptoed to take the medicine box on it. “En? Why is it so high?”
“Let me do it.” With a heat source close to him, Xiao Shen raised his hand and easily took down the medicine box.
Shen Qingzhuo turned around, and something warm was unexpectedly pressed against his forehead.
“You…” He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but a big hand quickly cushioned the back of his head, so he didn’t hit the cabinet on the spot.
“Gege, be careful.” After a muffled sound, Xiao Shen’s face remained normal, and he pulled him aside.
Shen Qingzhuo reacted and grabbed his hand and turned it over. Sure enough, he saw that the back of his hand was red from being hit. “I’m sorry, I just…”
“It doesn’t hurt at all.” Xiao Shen looked at him with curved eyes, “Didn’t you say to apply ointment?”
Shen Qingzhuo had no choice but to swallow his words and follow him to the sofa.
The next second, Xiao Shen took off his shirt neatly.
Shen Qingzhuo slightly widened his peach blossom eyes and couldn’t look away for a moment.
Under the light, the boy’s body seemed to be covered with a layer of light, with smooth and tight muscle lines, well-defined abdominal muscles that were not exaggerated, and even two beautiful mermaid lines extending to his sports shorts.
Remembering that his gaze was not polite, Shen Qingzhuo turned his face away. “Well, just lift it up a little bit.”
“It’s okay, it’s convenient this way.” Xiao Shen replied nonchalantly, “Come, Gege.”
Shen Qingzhuo: “……”
Why does this conversation sound a little off?
