Once he sent those two to school, Jian Sui Ying returned to the company.
Although having seen Li Yu for several hours made him felt as if he had discovered the excitement of a new world, but he was after all a man with a proper job. For the time being, he simply placed Li Yu at the back of his mind and concentrated on his own work instead.
After the busy day, it was dark again. He called Pipi out for dinner, then at night, he pressed that delicate and soft boy beneath him and vented his feelings at a hotel.
However, even after that s.e.xual deed, he did not feel a sense of carefree spread over him—his body was tired, but his mind was not satisfied. He wished the one that screamed out in pleasure beneath him was that innocent youngster with the indifferent att.i.tude.
Even though Jian Dashao[1]can be a beast, a brutal type of person, he did not plan to lay his hand on Li Yu right away.
He knew well that there are less than two months until the college entrance examination. Since the young man has been studying strenuously for more than ten years, he cannot delay him. Even more so, the number of talents that resided in Lao Li"s family were numerous—every offspring was outstanding and Li Yu, that youngster, was also remarkable.
After the strong impact of that lovely appearance, Jian Dashao"s brain has also cleared up significantly. He was slightly hesitant, perhaps it"s better to not touch someone in Lao Li"s family.
He knew only a bit about the circ.u.mstances regarding some of the grandsons of the Li"s family.
Back then, Li Yu"s father already had a fat little kid and didn"t expect to conceive Li Yu, but his mother refused to get an abortion. Being an official of that caliber, there were countless pairs of eyes watching them attentively. During the 80"s where the one child policy was most strict and added on that his father was a model official, not many dared to commit such taboo—the higher the status, the more one does not dare to do such thing. It was said, at that time, their family pressured his mother to get an abortion, but his mother adamantly refused, saying that the child had given his father a dream; his child fate was to be a millionaire and no matter what, he must be kept—they can"t touch the child unless she was dead.
Their family truly had no other choice but to sneakily take Li Yu"s to his paternal aunt. His aunt and her husband almost had no job because of that but in any case, his father was saved.
In the family registry, Li Yu was listed as his aunt"s son. However, the policy has relaxed in recent years and the officials has also loosened up. Those who has a better relationship with the Li"s family knew that, but now, they can"t do anything about it. Firstly, it was no longer an effective means to strike at the family and secondly, Li Yu"s paternal grandfather was already someone that no one could touch.
The child that such a formidable clan took a huge risk to keep must be the whole family"s most beloved.
Jian Dashao thought that if he were to make the grandson bat for the same team and Lao Li found out, then he would no longer be able to m ix in with them.
But looking at it from a different perspective, there were many men who did something that overstepped the boundaries of what is proper in their youth. So, what if he slept with Li Yu—they would separate sooner or later. When that time came, he would enjoy himself and Li Yu could do whatever he pleased, living happily without a thought for the future—wouldn"t that be quite beautiful?
Jian Sui Ying thought about it some more. From a rational point of view, it would be enough just for him to look and fantasize about it. No matter how good-looking Li Yu was, there were many good-looking guys in the world for him to fool around with—why go against such a formidable force? But Li Yu"s appearance and that unforgettable matter, why was it so to his liking this much? Why was he so rare? He [Jian Sui Ying] was the kind of person who, the more he can"t have something, the more he wanted to try it. When he became aware of the fact that Li Yu was not someone he should touch, the more increasingly he wanted to f.u.c.king touch him.
Jian Sui Yin sighed because of his own characteristic.
He pressed the cigarette into the ashtray.
d.a.m.n it, I don"t want to think about it. Perhaps, he wouldn"t even remember what Li Yu looked like in a few days yet instead he was at a loss now.
He reached his hand into the blankets and pinched Pipi"s soft and smooth b.u.t.t. "Little rascal, don"t sleep yet." While saying that, he lifted the blanket and let his unbridled hand touch on the person"s body.
Pipi mumbled to himself and started to giggle, "Jian Shao, you"re pressing into me…you"re really strong. You also came tonight…"
For three consecutive weeks, Jian Sui Yin did not return home, and that person Li Yu, also gradually fade from his memory.
However, by coincidence, his father called and asked him to come home to eat and pick up his younger brother on the way.
His father firmly believed that the two brothers should spend more time together so that their relationship can improve. In fact, the more he wanted Jian Sui Ying and Jian Sui Lin to stay together, the more he troubled Jian Sui Lin.
Leaving aside that shameless mother of Jian Sui Lin, he was not a brother that Jian Sui Ying wanted either.
He remembered when Jian Sui Lin first came to his house, blindly subservient—whoever raised their voice just a bit, he would pull his neck back, and he looked like a little girl. With one glance at him, Jian Sui Ying immediately agreed with that statement.
They"re all grown up now and Jian Sui Ying is no longer the ignorant child that he was back then. Therefore, Jian Sui Lin was able to pa.s.s his days by a lot better, however, their relationship still seemed as though they are walking on thin ice with each other. Jian Sui Yin still refused to return home so as it goes "what the eyes doesn"t see the heart doesn"t grieve over".
But since his father has spoken, he had no other choice but to leave work early and pick up Jian Sui Lin.
By the time he arrived at the school, almost all the students were gone. He called Jian Sui Yin, not expecting that the moment the call connected, he heard a familiar ringtone go off not too far away.
Jian Sui Ying turned his head around for a look only to see a wave of people at the basketball court not far from the school gate. With one glance, he saw Jian Sui Lin and Li Yu who was beside him
Seeing him, Jian Sui Ying suddenly felt his heart jumped a few times before he hung up on the call and made his way toward the basketball court.
Jian Sui Lin saw him from afar and quickly ran over and smiled, exposing a set of pearly white teeth. "Ge, you"re here."
"Yeah." Jian Sui Ying casually gave him a glance before his eyes drifted to Li Yu. The school uniform shirt that Li Yu wore has already been soaked with sweat and his pants was pulled up to his knees, revealing those two slender and study legs—the sunlight scattered on his body, leaving a dazzling aura. No wonder, the side of the court was surrounded by young ladies, spellbound by him.
When Li Yu made a beautiful three-step layup, all the young ladies screeched repeatedly. He quickly threw the fall, looked left and right as if seeking out someone before his gaze finally rested on where they were standing. He paused for a moment, then ran over.
Jian Sui Yin"s eyes has already been completely enticed by him. He smiled, watching Li Yu get closer and close to him—and the pace of his footsteps seemed to step all over his heart. Jian Sui Ying did not antic.i.p.ate that he himself would still have a time where he could still feel a rush of excitement toward anyone or perhaps it was only for that boy. This feeling was refreshing and beautiful—simply making him feel as though he had returned to his youthful days.
That period of time had allowed him to forget his desire for Li Yu. But in just the first second of seeing him, that feeling came rushing back at full speed.
Li Yu nodded at him, "Jian Ge."
Jian Sui Ying laughed, “Li Yu.” He slowly called out that name, as if lightly thinking over it while fiddling with his hands. "I haven"t see you for a long while, it"s been what, two-three weeks now?"
“Yeah, yes.” Li Yu casually said and then turned to Jian Sui Lin. "Going now?"
Jian Sui Lin nodded, "Let"s go."
Jian Sui Ying was over the moon but he tried his best to restrain himself. "He"s going too?"
"Yeah, I also invited some other cla.s.smates, but Li Yu is going to eat at home with us first."
Hearing that, Jian Sui Ying wanted to ask him, "what did you invite all those friends for?"
But before he could ask, Li Yu spoke first—as if he could see his train of thoughts. "Today is Sui Lin"s birthday."
Jian Sui Yin simply let out an "oh" without asking anything else. "Let"s go."
Hearing that simple respond, a sense of disappointment flitted into Jian Sui Lin"s eyes before spreading across his face. That look did not go unnoticed as Li Yu caught it with his own eyes, provoking his own expression to become bitter cold.
On the road, if Jian Sui Ying had a question for Li Yu, he would answer but he did not say more than necessary. Jian Sui Ying found that to be rather uninteresting so he in turn did not say anything else either. The three had their own respective thoughts as they looked out the windows for solitude.
Once they arrive at home, the front of the house as brightly lit with a few cars parked out front. Jian Sui Ying knew that his family relatives has come over.
When he entered the house, all eyes fell on him.
"Sui Ying is back." His second aunt smiled and stepped forward to welcome him with eyes full of joy.
“Second aunt, uncle.”
Jian Sui Ying greeted them all one by one before his gaze finally shifted to a person sitting at the corner of the sofa.
That was a very beautiful and elegant woman who was less than thirty with a cold expression—obviously being isolated there. It looked as though none of the relatives have taken notice of her. It was only until Jian Sui Lin walked over, sat down beside her and called her "mother" did her expression softened up.
Jian Sui Ying exposed a sarcastic smile.
Today was Jian Sui Lin"s 18th birthday—it was also considered a meaningful day. There were many relatives presence hence it was bustling with nose and excitement for a long while.
The main topics at the dinner table were all focused on Jian Sui Lin"s college entrance examination. Everyone was talking at once, trying to figure out his performance and what schools he should apply for—the atmosphere was like any ordinary family dinner.
Jian Sui Ying deliberately sat near Li Yu and turned a deaf ear to what everyone else was saying. He only said a few words here and there with Li Yu. But the thing was, Li Yu was also rather busy. Since Lao Li"s grandson was also here, the Jian family" relatives were all considerably courteous to him. So, every time they asked Jian Sui Lin something, Li Yu was also dragged into it—who wouldn"t since the two were cla.s.smates.
Noting that, Jian Sui Ying was exceptionally unsatisfied.
After dinner, the elders started to give Jian Sui Lin red envelopes.[2]
When Jian Sui Ying looked at Jian Sui Lin"s hand and saw that it was full of red envelopes, he took out a blank check from his own pocket, filled it a few numbers, tore it off and pa.s.sed it over to him. "Come, take this."
Slowly receiving it, an unclear expression fell on Jian Sui Lin"s face. "Thank you, Ge."
At that moment, his father was standing beside the two of them. He caught a glimpse of the check and immediately disapproved of it. "Sui Ying, why didn"t you pick up a gift for your brother? He"s only an eighteen years old student. Giving him so much money, what is he going to do with it all? There"s no need to transfer it."
Heeding no attention to those words, Jian Sui Ying said, “He"s an adult now. He should know how to spend money.”
Jian Dong Yuan frowned and snorted, obviously not satisfied. He turned to Jian Sui Lin, “You are also an adult, but you only know how to spend money and not how to make it. In the future, spend more time with your brother and learn from him."
"Yes, dad." Jian Sui Lin nodded his head and looked at him with his bright eyes.
"Okay now, let"s ask Ma Shu[3]to take you to where you"re meeting your friends. Have fun tonight."
Jian Sui Ying cut in, "I"ll take them."
Jian Dong Yuan asked, "You"re not staying to chat with us?"
Jian Sui Ying wanted to leave a long time ago, what"s good to chat about with you group of elderlies, he thought. "No, I have something to do tonight. So, I can just drop them off quickly."
“That’s okay then.”
Jian Sui Ying reaped a great harvest as he grabbed the two young boys and quickly left the scene.
He took the two to a place where they can enjoy a KTV session—took a glance at Li Yu with unwilling eyes and decided to leave.
Jian Sui Lin hesitatingly said to him, "Ge, you can go up too."
"What would I go up for? Aren"t they all your cla.s.smates?" Jian Sui Ying nonchalantly asked in return.
Jian Sui Lin pursed his lips and softly whispered, "Sit down for a bit…"
Jian Sui Ying stared at him, "You want me to sit with a group of children, what would come out of that?" He said while starting the car. He did not have the time to accompany a group of brats.
Suddenly, Li Yu opened his mouth, "Jian Ge, come up and have a seat. Today is Sui Lin"s birthday."
The hand that Jian Sui Ying had on the steering wheel paused, the keys did not turn all the way yet and soon, the engine came to a stop.
He turned his head to glance at Li Yu—the handsome youth"s face lit up underneath the neon lights, appearing to have some sort of gracefulness and overbearing manner mingled together.
Li Yu used a looked of expectation to gaze at him.
Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beauty.
In the end, Jian Sui Ying pulled the key out and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I"ll sacrifice myself for today and accompany you guys."
