Ordered to suspend business
After staying up all night, Song Shuyang was so sleepy that she wanted to sleep as soon as she touched the bed, but she couldn't avoid her boyfriend's mandatory task of taking a shower.
"If you don't wash it yourself, I will wash it for you?"
Song Shuyang woke up instantly and clutched his collar tightly as if facing a formidable enemy. "Don't have any improper thoughts about me. I'm very traditional!"
Jin Zhou threw him clean pajamas and said, "Hurry up, Brother Traditional."
Song Shuyang took it and ran into the bathroom, closed and locked the door. He listened carefully to make sure Jin Zhou didn't follow him, then slowly took off his clothes.
However, human nature is inherently mean. When Jin Zhou was so polite, he felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.
He thought again of the article he had read a long time ago.
[Every man has a lower body. If a man has no sexual interest in you, it's either because he doesn't love you or because your body is not attractive to him.]
To learn the ropes of love, Song Shuyang had been cramming a bunch of novels these past few days. He'd discovered that the 1-on-0 relationships in every one of them were irresistible, as if they'd been drugged. Even on those pornographic websites where you couldn't even write shit, every chapter still left 0 feeling "backache" and "weak legs." He'd even react to every word he said, and he'd take cold showers every day. Meanwhile, Jin Zhou...
Although he would occasionally respond when kissing, he had no intention of moving forward, and he never said anything like "I really want to fuck you hard."
As they are all men, Song Shuyang himself would fantasize about that from time to time, and sometimes he would think too much and have to take action to deal with it, but he had never seen Jin Zhou have any thoughts about such things, even though they slept in the same bed yesterday and nothing happened.
It's not that he's in a hurry to do that, but his boyfriend remains calm in the face of his own desires. Anyone would feel frustrated.
He looked at his body in the mirror. He was too thin and not voluptuous enough. He probably felt uncomfortable when Jin Zhou held him in his arms.
As a result, Song Shuyang developed an unprecedented anxiety about his body shape and decided to ask Croissant tomorrow how to train his buttocks to be round and perky.
Seeing Song Shuyang coming out of the bathroom, Jin Zhou asked him, "Where are your underwear?"
"I washed it myself! Can you please stop washing it for me all the time in the future? It's so embarrassing."
Jin Zhou laughed muffledly, "Do you feel ashamed now, Zai Zai?"
Song Shuyang pushed him away and got into bed, angrily saying, "Isn't it different now? Now that we're together, how can it be the same as before?"
After hearing his words, Jin Zhou was half happy and half sad. He sighed and said, "Now you know to be on guard against me."
"What are you protecting me from?"
"You don't even wash my underwear."
Song Shuyang was stunned. "Do you have a hobby of being a nanny?"
"No," Jin Zhou yawned casually, "I'm afraid of scaring you, so I won't say it anymore."
It took a while for Song Shuyang to react after Jin Zhou went into the bathroom. He sat on the bed in a daze, his face turning red.
That's not what it means...
He swallowed hard and shook his head to get rid of these strange thoughts. They were too horrifying. He got goosebumps all over his body just thinking about such a scene.
When Jin Zhou came back from taking a shower, he had already hidden himself in the quilt and wrapped himself like a big silkworm cocoon.
Jin Zhou sat down on the bed, pulled back the quilt to let his flushed face breathe, "Don't feel stuffy anymore."
"Do you want to sleep here?" Song Shuyang asked in a low voice.
Jin Zhou looked down at him, "Can I?"
"This is your home, you can sleep wherever you want."
He heard the person next to him chuckle and walk around to the other side and get on the bed.
Lying side by side on the bed, Song Shuyang's heart was beating like a drum and his breathing was almost difficult.
The other person's breathing was steady. Jin Zhou turned off the light, turned his back to him, and whispered, "Good night."
In the darkness, the person who said he was sleepy half an hour ago couldn't fall asleep.
Song Shuyang stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. Since there was a large floor-to-ceiling window in the room, some light would still leak in even with the curtains drawn. In addition, the moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight, illuminating his secret thoughts.
Although he could clearly feel Jin Zhou's preference for him, he wanted him to treat him as a mature lover rather than a younger brother who needed to be accommodated in everything.
He curled his fingers together, his heartbeat starting to speed up again.
I want to see Jin Zhou treat me with a side other than his brother.
Want... a little closer.
Suddenly, a hot body pressed against my back.
Song Shuyang's breathing stopped.
He felt Jin Zhou put his hand on his waist and blew gently into his ear.
"What should I do if I can't sleep?" A low and hoarse voice sounded in my ears, inexplicably tainted with a hint of lust.
Being so close, both of them could hear each other's rapid heartbeat, which was beating like a drum.
Jin Zhou suddenly pulled up the quilt to cover both of them, creating a more private space. He seemed to have no more worries and hugged his waist tightly, kissing his neck.
Song Shuyang's skin was already sensitive, and he couldn't stop laughing while shrinking his neck, "Haha... Stop licking Jin Zhou... It's itchy..."
"Hold on, baby, don't move."
Not knowing what he felt, Song Shuyang really didn't dare to move anymore.
He stood stiffly, letting Jin Zhou kiss him, and his nerves became tense.
No, he's not ready yet.
Perhaps noticing his stiffness, Jin Zhou did not take the next step. He just ended with a light kiss, burying his head in the crook of his neck and sighing with satisfaction.
"Good boy."
Song Shuyang turned around very slowly, hugged Jin Zhou, and said in a muffled voice: "It's only the second day of our relationship."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
He buried his face in Jin Zhou's chest in despair, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Another night of messy dreams. Luckily, today is Saturday, otherwise Song Shuyang would be doomed again. Unfortunately, he slept in until nine o'clock, and a notice came from the crew group: [Due to the preliminary competition next week, two extra practice sessions this weekend, please gather before ten o'clock for the big event]
Although Song Shuyang complained in his heart, he also knew that it was not easy for everyone, and as the leading actor, he could not complain. He quickly got up, dressed and washed.
Jin Zhou was cleansing his face and skin in front of the mirror. Song Shuyang turned on the tap to fill the toothbrush cup with water. He glanced at the small glass jar in front of him and asked, "Are you so delicate?"
"Beauty comes at a price," Jin Zhou let out a mock lament, "As I grow old, I can only spend some time on my appearance, otherwise what will happen if the emperor is seduced away by some little bitch outside?"
Song Shuyang was delighted, "It's good that you are willing to spend time on me."
Jin Zhou left and came back with a pilot jacket and a windbreaker in his hands. He asked him, "Your Majesty, which one do you think looks best on me?"
Song Shuyang spat out the foam in his mouth, trying to act deep, but the white toothpaste foam still clung to the corners of his mouth, making the visual effect quite funny. "You wear this, because I want to wear your jacket."
"Doesn't your mother give you money to buy clothes?"
"Yeah, I usually just wear a sack and step on two plastic bottles. I rely on you for support."
He snatched it up quite smoothly, put it on himself, and looking at himself in the mirror, he looked exactly like the school hunk. So he hissed, "You really got a great deal. With my looks, if you hadn't been dating since childhood, you wouldn't have gotten a chance."
Jin Zhou hugged him from behind, looked at their intimate appearance in the mirror, and smiled gently, "Fortunately, I acted early."
Song Shuyang had originally wanted to invite him to come watch his rehearsal, but he couldn't leave the shop on Saturday, so he had to start preparing for the evening. The two of them could only say goodbye at the school gate and agreed to have dinner at 6 pm.
He arrived early and reviewed his lines in front of the mirror several times, but he always felt that the quality was far from the reference video. Actors in stage plays speak differently than in TV dramas; their voices need to be loud and full of energy. His voice was fine, but his breath was a little off. Sometimes a line was too long and he'd always feel short of breath at the end.
The actor who played his brother in the play came. He was a senior in his junior year. He happened to hear him practicing his lines and gave him some guidance.
He knew the senior was from the broadcasting department, so he took the advice seriously and repeated it again according to the senior's suggestions. Sure enough, he made great progress. The senior rubbed his head happily and said, "If you have time, I'll give you some private lessons after rehearsal next time."
"Okay!"
Song Shuyang has been competitive since childhood, and he prefers to do things well if he does them at all. He started acting in drama late in life, so it was great to have professional guidance.
The show ended at five in the afternoon. He was still thinking about his dinner appointment with Jin Zhou, so he took off his costume and rushed to Helios.
I thought the store would be extremely busy today, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw everyone sitting there with sad faces.
"What's going on?" he asked Jin Zhou.
Jin Zhou didn't answer. Jiang Ying said coldly, "I don't know which bastard reported them. They were ordered to close down and make corrections, and were fined a huge sum of money."
The problem lies with the new dishes launched yesterday.
Helios currently only has a license to manufacture and sell cold food, but last night's new dish was fried, then braised, and then sold cold. Logically, this should be considered a cold dish, but they were too busy last night, and the kitchen didn't have time to wait for the temperature to drop before serving the food. Someone caught their mistake, took a thermometer to measure the temperature, took photos as evidence, and reported it to the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
"People in this industry usually turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Who is so bored? Damn it!" Jiang Ying smoked her cigarette irritably, cursing under her breath.
Jin Zhou's expression was quite calm. "It was our own negligence. We must be more careful in the future."
Song Shuyang pursed his lips. He could tell what was going on. It was probably because Helios had been doing so much business since it opened, and its competitors were jealous, so they resorted to such dirty tricks.
His temper also flared up, and he scolded Jin Zhou on his behalf: "People like this aren't afraid of not having a fork when eating instant noodles, or even cracking their teeth when biting the yogurt lid!"
Jin Zhou was amused by him and comforted him: "It's okay. Every day during this period is like a war. Just treat it as a few days off."
He stood up and announced to everyone that there would be a two-week holiday. All the employees in the store instantly turned from anger to joy and happily packed up their things.
Jiang Ying was still worried. "Originally, we could only open for two months this year, and this holiday is another half a month. Even if you're not afraid of losing money, aren't you afraid that the other two bars will steal the customers after you reopen?"
Jin Zhou still said the same thing: "I know."
"Okay," Jiang Ying stretched and stood up. "I might as well take my wife out for a honeymoon, so she doesn't get bored staying home all the time."
After everyone left, Song Shuyang and Jin Zhou were the only ones left in the store. He whispered, "Are you really not afraid of closing the store for half a month and ruining yourself?"
Jin Zhou rubbed his head and said, "Believe in your boyfriend."
When he said this, Song Shuyang inexplicably felt a sense of stability and power, "I will always be with you."
