Ch4 - The Student that has been Sponsored by His Father

With this holding posture, Shu Jin was much higher than Sheng Xinghe.

He just snorted and hung on to Sheng Xinghe obediently. His vision was receding, but he didn’t care where Sheng Xinghe was going to take him. He lowered his head, cupped the back of Sheng Xinghe’s head and cheek, and kissed him. 

The room is even quieter at night than it was during the day.

Sheng Xinghe’s breathing instantly became heavy.

The thing that he had been suppressing since their reunion was completely ignited.

As they walked towards the room, they kissed deeply, their lips and tongues entwined, almost frantically claiming each other. 

Both of them felt as if they were on fire. As soon as they entered the bedroom door, Sheng Xinghe turned against Shu Jin and pushed him against the cold wall, roughly kissing his ear and biting his neck.

Shu Jin’s pajamas were pushed very high, and he called out Sheng Xinghe’s name twice.

But his voice was drowned out by the sound of gasping, so he had to call out “brother” twice more in a low voice.

Sheng Xinghe looked calm when he tore open the package, but Shu Jin felt very painful because of him. Sheng Xinghe pulled the corner of the pillow out of his mouth and replaced it with his own finger for him to bite.

They made so much movement that the heavy king-size bed of the luxury suite made noises.

Shu Jin’s eyes were wet as he looked at him, and his face and body were red everywhere, like boiled shrimp.

Sheng Xinghe’s voice was hoarse: “Hook your legs up.”

Shu Jin’s bath was in vain. 

Sheng Xinghe carried him and washed him again. He was no longer a weak boy, but when he tried to stand up from the bathtub, his legs were trembling, so he had to let Sheng Xinghe carry him out again.

The sheets were a bit dirty, Sheng Xinghe seemed to hesitate, but Shu Jin said in his arms: “I’m sleeping here.”

The mattress was very soft, and when Shu Jin lay down, he seemed to be caught in the clouds.

He turned on his side and buried his face into the pillow. The feeling of Sheng Xinghe twisting his earlobe, made his back numb, and his face flushed again. 

“I’ll buy some medicine.” Sheng Xinghe said.

“No need.” Shu Jin said, “It’s already late.”

“It’s only twelve.”

“Go tomorrow morning.” 

Sheng Xinghe’s finger left Shu Jin’s hot earlobe, but it was caught by a hand.

Shu Jin half-opened his eyes, with unclear look, stared at Sheng Xinghe in a daze, then he opened his mouth and gently bit Sheng Xinghe’s fingertips.

When the door of the room was finally closed, Shu Jin was already sober.

Sheng Xinghe slept next to him.

He kept his eyes open in the dark, remembering the night Sheng Xinghe first slept next to him, and he didn’t sleep either. 

They met for the first time late at night.

As soon as Shu Jin was about to fall asleep, he heard the sound of the garage door opening, followed by the barking of the family dog. He was already very sleepy after playing games online with his classmates, but he still put on his slippers and prepared to go downstairs.

Father Shu Zhaoyuan opened the door and entered the house, and the dog rushed up to show his affection and whimpered with excitement.

Seeing that there was another person behind Shu Zhaoyuan, the dog took two steps forward and circled around them. Shu Zhaoyuan smiled and scolded: “Puff!” 

“Dad?”

Shu Jin walked downstairs.

“Who came?”

Shu Zhaoyuan looked up and saw his son, and asked, “You are not asleep”, and then let the person in the dark part of the hallway behind him come out: “Let me introduce you, this is your brother Sheng Xinghe. He just came from Lingjiang and will stay in the city to study in the future. He can also be your companion.” 

The living room is warmly lit.

Shu Jin saw the person’s face clearly, and couldn’t help but stop, then he froze on the stairs.

Shu Zhaoyuan brought back a young man, about two or three years older than Shu Jin, and he was quite tall. The young man is very good-looking, and his facial lines seem to have been sculpted naturally. Shu Jin, who was used to seeing people with outstanding looks, is also stunned.

But the other party’s eyes were too terrible, only one was fully functional, the other was a cloudy gray, like an emotionless glass ball embedded in the eye socket, making Shu Jin’s heart tightened. 

He knows who this person is.

Sheng Xinghe, the sixteen-year-old disabled and impoverished student who has been sponsored by Shu Zhaoyuan for ten years.

Lingjiang is a small town, quite far from the city.

Shu Zhaoyuan had a factory there, and often went to Lingjiang. Even Shu Jin had been there once or twice. He had heard Sheng Xinghe’s name when he was very young. 

Shu Zhaoyuan was so kind to Sheng Xinghe.

Since childhood, no matter what Shu Jin has, Shu Zhaoyuan will buy a copy for Sheng Xinghe.

Every year, clothing, school supplies, and even game consoles and mountain bikes will be bought for Sheng Xinghe at the same standard. As long as Shu Jin asks Shu Zhaoyuan for it, Shu Zhaoyuan must bring a copy to Sheng Xinghe. Even if he can’t go to Lingjiang for the time being, he has to ask someone to take them there.

Shu Jin especially doesn’t like to share this feeling with others. For him, this Sheng Xinghe robbed half of the love that should have belonged to him. 

What made him even more uncomfortable was that Shu Zhaoyuan often mentioned Sheng Xinghe in front of him, and it was full of praise.

Sheng Xinghe got first place in the grade again.

Sheng Xinghe got the third best student again, with a perfect score in mathematics.

Sheng Xinghe’s teacher called again specifically just to praise him, and so on. 

Shu Jin’s grades were also good, so he expressed his disdain for this: “How many people are in that town’s school of theirs, why not come to our school and try to get the first place in the grade?”

Shu Zhaoyuan said: “It’s too easy for him to get first place in your school, didn’t your teacher say? Sheng Xinghe is number one in science in the city’s high school entrance examination. How many schools are rushing to get him.”

Shu Jin puffed up his face with anger: “How come he still goes to a crappy high school in Lingjiang if he’s so good?”

Shu Zhaoyuan is even more pleased, and sighed: “This child is filial, ah. His grandfather is seriously ill. So he took the initiative to give up the olive branches handed to him for his grandfather. How many children of your age can do it?” 

Shu Jin: “…”

Shu Zhaoyuan’s concern for Sheng Xinghe has gone too far, to the point where Shu Jin feels that it was exaggerated.

This time, Shu Zhaoyuan didn’t go home for about a month, but stayed in Lingjiang to help Sheng Xinghe take care of the funeral—— He heard that Sheng Xinghe’s grandfather had passed away and he was the only one in the family, so Shu Zhaoyuan was taking care of the big and small affairs for him.

Shu Jin finished his high school entrance examination, and did better than expected. 

From the time he got the report card and was waiting for Shu Zhaoyuan’s praise, to a month later he had already become numb, and he hated this Sheng Xinghe more and more.

That’s fine.

But then, Shu Zhaoyuan actually brought the person back directly from Lingjiang. Looking at this big bag, Sheng Xinghe is going to live in his home directly!

After Shu Zhaoyuan finished the introduction to Shu Jin, he said to Sheng Xinghe: “This is your younger brother, Shu Jin, who has a little arrogant temper, but still very well behaved.” 

This young man has no self-awareness of being a parasite at all.

He is neither humble nor overbearing, he looked at Shu Jin with his only clear eye, nodding lightly: “Hello.”

Shu Jin’s gaze, however, fell on that gray eye, a little afraid: “…”

The living room was quiet for a moment. 

Shu Zhaoyuan said: “I’ll help you take your things upstairs. You will live next door to Shu Jin from now on. I will go to the school tomorrow to complete the transfer procedures for you, so you’ll be studying in the same high school in the future.”

Shu Jin was shocked.

The entire second floor has always been Shu Jin’s territory, and Shu Zhaoyuan knows this.

The feeling of being invaded by outsiders finally pissed Shu Jin off. He really had trouble understanding why Shu Zhaoyuan would bring a stranger into his house to share everything about him. Not only his house, but to also bring this stranger to his future school, this kind of invasion is not only a day, but every day in the foreseeable future! 

“I don’t want to.” Shu Jin suddenly said, “Have you asked my opinion?”

Shu Zhaoyuan looked up again, “What do you kids have to say? It’s already good for your brother to come home.”

Shu Zhaoyuan took the luggage, said a few words to Sheng Xinghe, and the two went upstairs together.

The dog followed them, and looked happy, only Shu Jin was an outsider. 

When they passed by Shu Jin’s side, Shu Jin whisphered.

The house suddenly became silent.

“I finally know why my mother divorced you.” Shu Jin said, “Sheng Xinghe is actually surnamed Shu.”

The young man walking behind heard his words. 

Without seeing Shu Zhaoyuan’s expression, Shu Jin ran back to his room, closing the door to his room with a loud bang.

Shu Jin did not cry, he just sat there on the bed in dazed.

He vaguely heard the voice of Shu Zhaoyuan talking to the intruder outside, probably telling him about the facilities in the house or helping him make the bed.

Shu Jin lay back on the bed and opened his eyes to look at the ceiling. 

In the dead of night, those rustling noises gradually disappeared.

Next door was as quiet as if no one was there.

But Shu Jin knew that the other party was right next door.

Since then, he has added an uninvited guest in his life, whether he wants it or not. 

Sheng Xinghe entered his world like this.

I often mistype Shu Jin‘s name, and type it as Shu Yuan.
