Ch6 - “Then you will not be in my life plan, Shu Jin.”

Shu Jin took the medicine and only slept for about an hour before waking up again.

He has slept enough, and now the fever is slowly receding, he can’t sleep anymore, especially when Sheng Xinghe is staying in the suite with him in the same room. 

Noticing him looking over, Sheng Xinghe, who was working at the dining table, turned his head: “Not sleeping?”

Shu Jin: “Yeah.”

Sheng Xinghe got up and poured water for him.

Instead of taking water out from the refrigerator for Shu jin to drink, Sheng Xinghe turned on the direct drinking machine in the suite. He stood there and waited for more than ten seconds until the water was hot before he came over with a cup. 

Shu Jin looks at his back. Unexpectedly, the person suddenly turned around, colliding with his eyes, so he immediately looked away.

Unconsciously, Sheng Xinghe sat down beside Shu Jin and gave him water.

Shu Jin leaned back against the sofa cushions and took a small sip. The water moistened his slightly dry lips and made his voice seem less unpleasant: “How did you know I had a fever?”

Originally, Shu Jin wanted to say “how did you know that I was sick”, but thought that his fever was not because of illness, but because of other things, so he changed his statement.

“The room service brought breakfast and knocked on the door for a long time, but you didn’t even open it.” Then Sheng Xinghe said, “So, I came back at once.”

Shu Jin: “Oh.”

The slightly hot water made Shu Jin feel a little warm, and then he heard Sheng Xinghe ask calmly: “Shu Jin, haven’t you had any other relationships in the past few years?”

Vte Alc’r fsfijrtfr agfwyifv: “Sc.”

And then asked: “What about you?”

After asking, Shu Jin was a little nervous. He gripped the cup tighter and waited for Sheng Xinghe’s answer. 

There should be, he thought.

Because Sheng Xinghe has no reason not to fall in love.

Sheng Xinghe stood up, as if he was just asked casually, he answered casually as well: “No time.”

After speaking, he returned to the table and turned his back to Shu Jin again. 

Shu Jin sat for a while holding the cup.

He lay back again, and got even more sober. He looked from the back of the sofa, unable to hold back the lightness in his heart.

They spent the next two days at the hotel. Sheng Xinghe occasionally held online meetings or answered calls at work, while Shu Jin went back to his room and used Sheng Xinghe’s tablet to read.

Meals are ordered from room service, and occasionally, the restaurant outside was also ordered to be delivered to the room. 

From the time he packed his luggage and was ready to leave and then being brought back, Shu Jin’s suitcase had never been opened again. He didn’t need to go out, and he didn’t need to change his clothes.

Sometimes he wears the hotel bathrobe, and sometimes he wears Sheng Xinghe’s shirt.

Sheng Xinghe’s assistant has never been to the suite again, and Shu Jin guessed that she must have guessed their relationship, so she didn’t appear in the boss’s private domain again. However, his colleagues sent messages one after another. It turned out that Li Wang had already told the people in the department that “Sheng Xinghe is Shu Jin’s brother”.

There are times when adults can’t help but gossip, and Shu Jin felt that there’s nothing to be angry about. He only told them in those inquiries that he and Sheng Xinghe had actually been out of touch for so many years. 

Lin Wang: [Even if there is little contact, your relationship is still very good, otherwise how can he let you stay there to talk about old times.]

Shu Jin: [I did something that upset him before.]

Lin Wang: [Isn’t he your elder brother? If you admit your mistake, he won’t blame you.]

Shu Jin looked at the screen for a long time, then turned off the phone. 

In fact, he had absolutely no idea what Sheng Xinghe was thinking.

Why did he want him to stay and why did he sleep with him? Shu Jin only knew that Sheng Xinghe asked the room service to send him bruising medicine, and if he hadn’t called to ask for Sheng Xinghe’s contact information, their reunion would have come to an abrupt end, and Sheng Xinghe would never ask him to stay.

Sheng Xinghe has always been a very proud person.

Ever since he was a teenager, and since he became an orphan in a foster home, he has never made himself look bad because of anyone or anything. 

Shu Zhaoyuan took Sheng Xinghe back to Shu family, and took him to transfer to another school.

Unlike the high school in town, the scholarship at the private high school in the city was so generous that Sheng Xinghe received it in his first semester and did not need Shu Zhaoyuan to fund him at all.

Shu Jin went to school early and entered the first year of high school at the age of fourteen. Sheng Xinghe was only one year above him, but he has already studied all the high school courses, and took the college entrance exam in his sophomore year. His learning ability is simply a plug-in.

Sheng Xinghe only studied there for a year, and he changed from “that good-looking one-eyed” in high school to “that super handsome schoolmaster”, and he remained a legend among students long after he graduated. 

Then after he came to the university, Shu Jin rarely received news about Sheng Xinghe anymore.

Shu Jin clearly remembered what Sheng Xinghe said on the day of their breakup.

“If I go to carry out my life, then you will not be in my life plan, Shu Jin.”

Many nights later, Shu Jin would cry in the middle of the night because of these words, and his heartache could not be suppressed. He had to take many, many deep breaths in order not to scream out in pain.
