Chapter 4 Your brother is really good-looking
"Why would I have such thoughts?" Shen Jin murmured, somewhat bewildered.
After all, the two of them originally had no relationship. It was just a transaction of 100,000 yuan between them, and of course they had to go their separate ways after it was over.
But the image of the man passionately kissing him last night kept replaying in his mind, those moments that stirred his heart and made him blush.
Shen Jin hugged the pillow Yan Yu had used last night to his chest, and couldn't help but bury his face in it to sniff it. He could still smell the cologne on Shen Jin, and murmured in a daze, "His technique is so good..."
He didn't actually understand these things; he was just expressing his feelings.
Even though the other person had left, the images from last night, as well as the charming smile on their lips, kept replaying in his mind.
He felt a little ashamed; he had only had sex with her once, yet he was already having all sorts of wild thoughts, even though he wasn't gay.
When he picked up the check for 100,000 yuan, his fingers trembled slightly. He lowered his eyes and murmured to himself, "Lianlian, the surgery fee has been received..."
As for how he obtained it, Shen Jin thought he probably wouldn't have the courage to tell her in his entire life.
After all, in her heart, her brother was a gentle, reserved, simple, and good-tempered person, so he didn't want to ruin his image in her heart and didn't want to become the kind of person she hated.
...Speaking of which, Yan Yu must hate himself for this, right?
Someone who would abandon all dignity to seduce a man just for money...
Shen Jin dared not think too deeply about it. After carefully putting away the check, he fled the room where they had shared an ambiguous relationship, not daring to linger for even a moment, for fear that the more he fantasized, the more upset he would become.
He didn't dare go to the hospital to see his sister for the time being. Instead, he supported his trembling body and returned to his rented, shabby apartment. He changed out of his expensive rented clothes and cooked himself something to eat.
It was already noon, and the sun was hanging in the sky.
The dilapidated apartment naturally lacked luxuries like air conditioning, and even the fan was used sparingly to save electricity. He was almost roasted by the scorching sun, so all he could do was take a cold shower.
Looking at her body, which had been thoroughly played with by the man last night, she felt a strange burning sensation on her face.
“That’s strange…” Shen Jin patted his face, somewhat puzzled as to why he couldn’t help but think of the man after sleeping with him once.
After much thought, he came to a conclusion: "Could it be because of guilt?"
He felt that it might really be true.
Thinking about it this way, he felt relieved. He dried himself with a towel, changed into a clean and simple outfit, and his fair and rosy face instantly looked much more energetic.
Shen Lian was in the hospital and had to be on many dietary restrictions. She also needed to supplement her nutrition, but things near the hospital were too expensive. Therefore, Shen Jin could only do his best to cook some nutritious porridge for her at home and bring it to the hospital for her.
He lived in the easternmost part of the city, a dilapidated and sparsely populated place. Its name, East End, was synonymous with slums for the wealthy and powerful.
Only penniless and despicable people would stay in such a godforsaken place.
"Lianlian...it's nothing, I just overslept. Um...I'm on my way, I'll see you soon." Shen Jin smiled as he spoke to his sister on the phone, so she wouldn't worry. "Get some rest."
His younger sister, Shen Lian, was abandoned with him in an orphanage when they were young. They didn't know who their parents were. They had relied on each other for many years and she was the most important person to him.
She is eighteen years old this year, and has been admitted to a decent university. She studies hard and is a well-behaved and sensible girl, but now she is plagued by illness.
An old man sitting under the old tree, enjoying the shade, saw him pass by and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, Shen Jin, are you going to see your sister?"
In this poor and dilapidated place in the east, apart from a few individuals, everyone is quite nice, simple and open-minded, and gets along well with Chen Jin.
"Yes, good afternoon, enjoying the cool air." Shen Jin returned the smile and continued walking with his somewhat uncoordinated legs, carefully, as if afraid that others would notice something amiss.
"It's nice to rest in the shade of a big tree!" the old man chuckled in response, fanning himself with a fan and casually adjusting his glasses to glance at him. "By the way, Chen Jin, have you been working too hard lately? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you walking a little strangely..."
"Ah," Shen Jin's smile froze, startled by the suddenness of the situation. He quickly forced a smile and chuckled dryly, "Nothing's wrong, maybe I'm just sleep-deprived... Well, I'll be going now, you can enjoy the cool air."
Feeling guilty and embarrassed, Shen Jin walked rather quickly, his legs moving rapidly. Once he was out of sight, he stopped, braced himself against the wall, and silently took a deep breath.
The pain was still so clear.
In his mind, Yan Yu's handsome face was also etched with exceptional clarity.
The hospital was crowded. Shen Jin was still lost in thought, absentmindedly walking towards his sister's ward. Before he even entered, he heard an angry shout: "Get out! Get out! Get as far away as you can!!"
Shen Jin was stunned, stopping in his tracks instantly, a chill running through him. He naturally recognized the voice as his sister's, and for a moment, he felt uneasy, thinking she was talking about him.
Then a boy's voice rang out: "Get out? Why should I get out! You owe money, so pay it back! It's your right! Thirty thousand yuan, pay it back right now, who the hell wants to stay here!"
Shen Jin frowned, his expression somewhat awkward. He had never heard Shen Lian mention borrowing money from anyone, especially not 30,000 yuan...
"Li Zhen, don't go too far! I will pay you back. You gave me a deadline, not now, and it was ten thousand yuan!" Shen Lian said through gritted teeth. "Don't add such outrageous interest!"
The young man called Li Zhen sneered, glancing at the person lying on the hospital bed with a subtle look. His gaze lingered on her pale face as he scoffed, "To be honest, Shen Lian, the reason I lent you money wasn't because I was a good person, but because I wanted you to sleep with me to pay for it. Turns out you're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand anything!"
"Look at you now, sickly and weak, who the hell needs your body to pay off debts?" Li Zhen spat a few times, looking at him with some sarcasm. "You might not even live for a few more months before you die. Who has time to wait for you to pay back the money?"
Shen Lian gritted her teeth and said, "I said I would pay it back, and I will!"
"Come on, what's the use? With you and your brother and sister being so poor, do you think you can afford surgery?" Li Zhen waved his hand dismissively. "That's too unrealistic. Take it easy."
Shen Lian knew that reasoning with him was pointless, so she could only sneer: "Don't worry about that. Even if I die, I'll pay back your ten thousand yuan before I die. You don't need to worry about it!"
"Tsk, are you stupid? Can't you understand human language?" Li Zhen clicked his tongue, leaning leisurely to the side, looking at the IOU with its written words and fingerprints, his smile somewhat meaningful. "Speaking of which, Shen Lian, your brother is really handsome..."
