Episode 22
"The first time it was discovered, there was no related medical history before. It could be that I did something reckless when I was a child but I forgot. However, my mother never told me about this, so it has nothing to do with doing something reckless when I was a child. Of course, I also discussed this with the resident doctor. Later, the resident doctor said something that was more likely a stress reaction."
"Your gastrointestinal stress response is far too obvious."
"Yes, even I find it unbelievable."
"......"
Old Liu didn't really believe in a simple stress response. He felt that the feeling at the time was more like a stomach hemorrhage. Maybe his stomach hemorrhage wasn't that serious, so... or maybe he already had a stomach hemorrhage when he went to find Sasin, but the gang leader hit his stomach. That was the most likely explanation.
"So, where did they take you?"
"......"
Is there anything you don't want to talk about?
"emmmmmmmmm".
It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but that he couldn't, because Sasin's favorite thing to do was eavesdrop. If it weren't for that, Benjamin might have secretly told Lao Liu. However, Sasin didn't know that this was true—the fight had affected his stomach.
"Did you already know?"
"What?"
Old Liu pointed behind him, and Sasin did indeed secretly peek in the hospital corridor at the end. He always felt that there was someone behind him, probably because Old Liu was always doing this kind of thing and he could sense it.
"What?"
"......"
Old Liu knew Benjamin was playing dumb, but the next second Benjamin reacted and said, "Sasin is outside," trying to scare Sasin away. After all, this was part of not wanting Sasin to worry, and they didn't know if Sasin was really eavesdropping outside. Benjamin was also suspicious because of the feeling Old Liu had just given him.
"Are you really outside?"
"It used to be there, but it should be gone now."
"That's good. He really won't know what happens next, which makes it easier for us to talk about some things."
"Perfect timing, I also have a question to ask you."
The next second, Benjamin directly exposed Lao Liu's weakness, because Benjamin discovered that Lao Liu's relationship with Sassin's homeroom teacher was unusual, but he didn't seem to care. This was the initial situation, because they had spent too much time together, and he also had many subtle expressions, therefore...
"Are you dating your homeroom teacher?"
"?"
"That little expression...tsk tsk tsk."
When did you realize that our relationship was unusual?
"It's been several months, and you went drinking with him that day."
"you!"
"Seriously, you don't allow us students to date, but it's one thing for your homeroom teacher to date, but you blatantly flaunt it in front of us."
"......"
"That morning, Sasin asked me why their homeroom teacher was acting so cute..."
"And then? What was your answer?"
"I told you that your homeroom teacher is dating our homeroom teacher."
"Benjamin!"
"Look, he's getting angry."
"......"
Benjamin had already thought about how to answer the questions Lao Liu had raised, and he hadn't exposed any weaknesses to Lao Liu. However, Lao Liu was hiding something from him because of this matter.
"What's wrong?"
"What part of your body did they hit? Your stomach."
"As expected, but..."
"but?"
"One blow wouldn't be enough to cause stomach bleeding. Did he hit your stomach not just once, but several times?"
"It was definitely a blow. The person used a brick, and it was probably that blow that caused the stomach injury."
"That's true, but your stomach is quite sensitive."
"......"
Benjamin didn't want Lao Liu to know too much. The trigger for his stomach bleeding that day was related to drinking in the past few days. One afternoon, he saw Sasin with a male friend, and later that night he went drinking. He drank far too much that night, and fortunately, he vomited while hugging a tree, all without Sasin's knowledge! He had a cat named Little Ben, which was a nickname Benjamin used to have because he was good at grooming himself. His classmates called him Little Ben. Later, during a summer vacation in high school, Benjamin adopted a cat, and he named the stray cat Little Ben.
"Little notebook!"
"Meow"
The cat responded with a huge meow, as if it trusted him completely, because Benjamin was looking at it with an incredulous expression as it exposed its belly. Why would a complete stranger look at it like that? "Heh, good grief, is it sounding the alarm?"
"Meow"
"I'm back."
"Meow"
"If you were a human, you would already know what I'm going to say, but unfortunately, you're just a kitten."
Actually, Benjamin's kitten is the most intelligent of all, because when Benjamin was complaining that day, the kitten unexpectedly snuggled up to him, right against his trouser leg, and that's how...
"Don't move, I'm going to take off my pants."
"Meow?"
"Meow"
Benjamin's cat, Little Notebook, also wants to issue a stern statement to Benjamin because his words contain several "grammatical errors!" However, if he says that, he will definitely throw himself out and become a stray cat again.
"Ding-dong..."
"Um?"
"Meow"
"They're here, they're here."
The moment Benjamin looked through the peephole, he was completely bewildered by Sassin's appearance. It seemed Sassin was wearing a scarf, tied around his waist and around his genitals.
"?"
"You've arrived?"
When Sasin noticed the smell of alcohol on Benjamin, he seemed to understand that Benjamin must have been drinking for some reason. But what was even more absurd was that Benjamin actually wanted to take a shower after drinking! He remembered that when Sasin came to his house, Benjamin would take a shower by himself, just like today.
"You even have the habit of taking a shower after drinking alcohol!"
"yes."
"Aren't you afraid of slipping and falling in the bathroom?!"
"I'm not afraid anymore now that you're here."
"......"
"But why are you here?"
"I came to check because I was worried that your lights weren't on."
"?"
"You really like saving electricity."
"Our bathroom is inside, so it's normal that you can't see it. Plus, there's only one small window, which is just to let it breathe. Because our little one poops and never says 'I'm ugly,' and then the whole toilet smells."
"......"
"Please come in."
The door was closed and locked, so Sasin couldn't go home. When Sasin saw Xiaobenzi, he naturally wanted to rub against him. Sasin also took good care of Xiaobenzi. When Xiaobenzi saw the two of them rubbing against each other, he naturally felt that he should rub against both of them. He used to think that cats were the kind that would ignore people, but after getting to know them, he didn't think that way anymore.
Are you done washing?
"Um."
Benjamin was incredibly relieved that he'd thrown up under a big tree on the street. Otherwise, throwing up in front of Sassin would have been a serious matter. He knew Sassin too well; last time he'd drunk too much, Sassin had yelled at him for half an hour and given him the silent treatment for an hour. "Why didn't you throw up today?"
I drank less today.
"That's alright."
The next second, Benjamin carried Sasin and Little Ben to the bedroom. This was probably the second time Little Ben had felt happy. Benjamin's favorite thing was to carry Little Ben in a princess carry. This time, Sasin carried Little Ben in a princess carry, and the two of them kissed Little Ben on both sides of his face.
"Meow"
"......"
"You have quite a large lung capacity."
"How so?"
"Last time, the volume of the notebook was almost the same as the air raid siren, but this time it wasn't quite that loud. But it's still enough."
"He has a naturally good voice. His mother is quite capable; she gave birth to a promising talent who could be the head of a senior citizens' group."
"Son? So it has testicles?"
"yes."
"It must have been several months, right?"
"It looks about two years old."
"It's so cute, but how did you know it's two years old? It looks like it's only a few months old."
"Because I've seen it for two years, though of course it's possible it's not the same cat."
Benjamin thought Sassin wanted a son, but the next second he said to Benjamin, "I mean, little Ben is so cute!" Then Benjamin unexpectedly said something else:
"Old Liu has a girlfriend."
What
"His girlfriend seems to be your homeroom teacher."
"Our homeroom teacher? The one from my first year of high school?"
"yes."
"......"
Although Benjamin knew that his homeroom teacher and Lao Liu were just very good friends, he never imagined that there was such a relationship between them! Benjamin also thought that one of them must be unable to keep it a secret and was going to tell others, so Benjamin thought of taking some pictures of them together when he went to school tomorrow.
Aren't you cold?
"It's not cold."
"I think you're cold."
"I just finished showering and I had to open the door for you, it would be abnormal if I wasn't cold. Besides, I only brought a large bath towel, so you probably thought I was cold, right?"
"Yes, feel it."
"......"
Benjamin didn't want to touch him at all, because he had fallen for Sasin's trick before. When he tried to touch Sasin's body that day, he was stunned by Sasin's cold hands.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't touch!"
"I won't be happy if I touch you."
Thinking about it now, it really makes sense. Benjamin's skin shrinks and his pores change when the temperature drops, which is why he was so disgusted when Sassin touched him with cold hands.
"I might consider touching me through a bath towel."
"?"
"Because you said it was too cold."
"Are you serious?"
As for it!
Is it really that unpleasant to be cold?
"Benjamin only felt somewhat relieved when the electric heater was on, and the little notebook on the bed prevented anything from happening between them. The reason why they were not allowed to do anything on the bed was that he liked the bed and sometimes liked to roll around on it."
"ha?"
What's that little notebook doing?
"It can't be that..."
"As a sandwich."
"......"
Later, the little notebook really did indeed sandwich Benjamin and Sasin without any hesitation, with Sasin on the bottom and Benjamin on top. The little notebook was most excited about Sasin being on top. Later, Benjamin, while expressing his pleasure at the little notebook on Sasin's body, even flicked the back of the little notebook's head. The little notebook didn't care about Benjamin's displeasure at all; the next second, it pressed down on the little notebook's back. Although Sasin told Benjamin from below not to press the little notebook down so he couldn't breathe, he ignored him. If he didn't do this, the little notebook would become even more aggressive.
"Meow"
"Hey! Benjamin!"
"Get down!"
Seeing that he couldn't outmaneuver Benjamin, Benjamin simply got off, looking rather sullen. Then Benjamin whispered in Sasin's ear, "This time I'll let you touch me."
"don't want."
"Why?"
"It's pointless; cold expands and heat contracts."
"Luckily, I'm a humanities student..."
"What do you mean?"
"If it's about thirst, it really annoys me, because as a science student, I'll be led astray by you."
"......"
Benjamin's seemingly helpless reply left Sassin speechless. Later, Benjamin simply pinned Sassin down; he was putting Sassin to bed that day and didn't want to know about Sassin's outings with other people. He then realized he had a strong need for control, and after learning about this, Benjamin tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just can't sleep."
"?"
"Don't worry if you have insomnia."
"I suggest you see a psychologist."
"Pah!"
"Anyway, you can't take me with you."
The most important thing that day was to find Sassin and explain what that man did. Yes, it was an interrogation, not an explanation, because he was jealous. He always checks his phone before going to bed, and that day he wasn't searching online for "what to do when you're jealous" or "why do I get jealous without realizing it?"
"Benjamin, why are you jealous? They're just good friends, really just good friends. Could it be...?"
—The next morning—
"I won't see you off today because I'm hungover. If you need anything, just have Lao Liu call me."
"OK".
"Be careful on the road."
"Thank you for your concern"
"......"
—10:00 AM the next day—
"What do you want?"
"Nothing."
"Is Old Liu calling me?"
"You've had enough of being told you have a hangover. I'm sending you home."
"?"
"Benjamin initially thought that Sassin was calling him on Lao Liu's orders, but he never expected that Lao Liu was actually calling him. More importantly, Lao Liu was calling him for a serious matter, and he was unaware of the current situation at the school. Because the school's requirements for student entry and exit were no longer the semi-closed or open system of the past, it was no longer a problem for Benjamin to go to school without wearing his school uniform."
Is there anything else?
"Something's wrong!"
"That voice...is that Old Liu?"
"Yes, it's me."
"What do you want from me?"
"I need to talk to you."
"I'm not going. I drank too much last night and I'm still hungover."
"You deserve it! Who told you to drink so much all the time!"
"Then ask Sasin who the boy he walked with yesterday afternoon was? Why was he with him?"
"So all this was for this?"
"goodbye."
"I'll tell you once you come here."
"Okay, can I go?"
Benjamin, still hungover, had just exchanged a few words with Sassin when his right eyelid started twitching incessantly. He was a little worried, wondering what he would do if something happened that afternoon. After thinking for 10 minutes, he went to the school and saw a group of thugs and a rather familiar figure near the school.
"It's her?"
"......"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm probably just overthinking it."
"I hope so."
Song Ran glanced back at the bus speeding past. In just one glance, she sensed a figure resembling her mortal enemy sitting by the window in the last row on her side. Then, she was called over by the thugs.
Why isn't my older brother coming over yet?
"What's wrong?"
"fine."
"?"
They all seemed to be keeping it from Song Ran, but Song Ran hadn't chatted with her boyfriend for a long time. There was no breakup, nor any sign of it. Whether they were on the verge of breaking up depended on their respective thoughts. He didn't mind Benjamin, because now he not only couldn't beat Benjamin but had also been beaten up by him first. Besides, he and Sasin could call on their underlings to bully Song Ran.
"?"
