When Shi Zhen arrived, Guan Baiyu had already washed a basin of fruit and was waiting for him.
"Are your parents not here?" Shi Zhen asked.
"Not here." Guan Baiyu laughed.
Shi Zhen stepped forward and hugged him. He really missed Guan Baiyu after not seeing him for a week.
Guan Baiyu kissed Shi Zhen's face, then his mouth was itchy from the stubble on Shi Zhen's face.
Although Guan Baiyu's parents were not home, Shi Zhen quickly let go of him and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
He had been running around all day and was very tired and dirty.
Guan Baiyu had already prepared a change of clothes for him and handed them to him to wash.
After taking a shower, the two went into Guan Baiyu's bedroom, where Shi Zhen told Guan Baiyu about Zhao Qiujuan and Duan Hongming.
In his previous life, Guan Baiyu didn't actually like Zhao Qiujuan.
At that time, Zhao Qiujuan looked timid and submissive. She and her husband were incompetent and had to ask Shi Zhen for help with every little thing.
Her children are all sick.
Sometimes when Shi Zhen was very tired, she would call and say that her child was sick, and Shi Zhen would have to rush over to take her child to the hospital.
This has happened not once or twice, but many times.
In addition, her children were disobedient and noisy.
But a lot has changed in this life. He still likes Zhao Qiujuan very much now, and he's happy that she's found a good home.
After they finished speaking, Guan Baiyu went to kiss Shi Zhen again.
"Don't be like this..." Shi Zhen was a little helpless; Guan Baiyu was sometimes too enthusiastic.
"What? You don't like it?" Guan Baiyu asked him with a smile, her eyes somewhat alluring.
Shi Zhen swallowed hard: "You weren't like this before..."
Guan Baiyu pretended to be angry and pinched him: "You like the old me, but not the current me?"
"No, that's not what I meant..." Shi Zhen quickly said, "I..."
Shi Zhen was somewhat conflicted.
Guan Baiyu asked, puzzled, "What?"
"Xiaoyu, I've always wanted to ask you, why didn't you like it back then?" Shi Zhen hadn't asked before, but he was still uneasy about it.
But recently... he could really feel that Guan Baiyu liked him very much.
Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng's sudden change in attitude puzzled him, so he talked to them about it later.
During their conversation, Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng said things like Guan Baiyu had suffered a lot as a child and that he should be more tolerant of him.
Based on their words, Shi Zhen could roughly guess what Guan Baiyu had told them.
His feelings were quite mixed.
And then there were Guan Baiyu's various reactions during the New Year... He could sense that, to Guan Baiyu, he was more important than Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng.
This is not surprising... In his past life... he was more important than Guan Baiyu's life.
Actually, during this time, he felt as if Guan Baiyu had healed him.
His heart, which had been restless, finally found peace.
Guan Baiyu didn't expect Shi Zhen to ask this, and said matter-of-factly, "Your technique wasn't good back then, so I wasn't comfortable."
Shi Zhen: "..."
Shi Zhen paused for a moment before asking, "Then why did you start sleeping in a separate room from me later?"
Guan Baiyu was still a little annoyed when he thought about it: "You snore! I remember telling you that!"
Shi Zhen would come back in the middle of the night, and as soon as he got back, he would snuggle up to him.
He was under a lot of pressure, had insomnia, was in a bad mood, and was also feeling unwell, so he was unwilling and declined.
Then Shi Zhen turned over and fell asleep, and then he started snoring.
What else can he do if he doesn't get a separate room?
Shi Zhen froze.
Guan Baiyu did mention once that he snores.
When he left in the morning, Guan Baiyu was usually still asleep. The two didn't see each other often during that period, but Guan Baiyu had mentioned it at night.
But... he had actually forgotten about it if Guan Baiyu hadn't brought it up now.
At the time, I thought Guan Baiyu was just making excuses to show his dislike for him.
"I'm sorry." Shi Zhen hugged Guan Baiyu, his eyes a little sore.
"What's wrong?" Guan Baiyu asked.
Shi Zhen said, "I thought you were going to break up with me. I was even thinking about whether I should say it first..."
Upon hearing Shi Zhen's words, Guan Baiyu replied without hesitation, "Don't even think about it!"
After saying that, he bit Shi Zhen's lip.
He would not allow Shi Zhen to break up with him. If Shi Zhen really dared to do that... he wasn't sure what he would do.
But biting Shi Zhen... he really couldn't bear to. In the end, Guan Baiyu sucked hard, making Shi Zhen's lips turn red.
"I don't want to." Shi Zhen was in such a good mood that when Guan Baiyu let go of him, he stood up, gave Guan Baiyu a princess carry, tossed him up in the air, and then caught him...
"What are you doing!" Guan Baiyu was startled.
"Don't worry, I'll catch you." After catching him, Shi Zhen tossed him up into the air again.
Shi Zhen was certain that he would catch Guan Baiyu no matter what.
But he underestimated his strength.
These past two years, he's become a boss and hasn't done much physical labor. He's long lost the strength he used to have. And Guan Baiyu? Guan Baiyu has come of age and grown taller!
Even if Guan Baiyu isn't fat, he still weighs over 130 pounds!
The room is small!
After catching Guan Baiyu again, Shi Zhen stumbled...
He didn't think much of it and casually flopped onto the bed, only to suddenly feel a pain in his back...
Shi Zhen clutched his waist and hissed.
Guan Baiyu also became anxious: "What's wrong with you?"
Shi Zhen clutched his waist, looking somewhat helpless: "I... twisted my waist."
"Lie down, let me take a look," Guan Baiyu said.
Shi Zhen released him from his bed and said, "It's nothing, don't worry. I've always valued my health."
In his previous life, Shi Zhen had a problem with his back. In his early years, he did manual labor and often carried heavy objects, which injured his back and arms. Later, he would suffer from back pain from time to time.
Generally speaking, he gets sick when he's tired.
Of course, it wasn't too serious... Back then, he wasn't the only one on their construction site with back problems.
And this pain is nothing to him.
Now... it's just a slight twist, and in his experience, it will be fine soon.
“Some people just twist their ankle a little without noticing, and then they get a herniated disc… Wait here, I’ll go get you some ointment.”
After Guan Baiyu finished speaking, he went outside, found Mu Tian's medicine box, and took out some ointment.
Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng both had back problems, probably due to prolonged sitting and their advanced age, so they prepared some plasters at home.
Just as Guan Baiyu was getting the medicine, Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng finally returned.
In this house, the door to the second bedroom faces the main entrance.
In early May, the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius. During the day, you can wear a short-sleeved shirt and a jacket over it.
Shi Zhen was very hot-tempered, and after taking a bath, he went shirtless.
Guan Baiyu made him lie down and went to get him some ointment. Thinking he might be cold, she grabbed the blanket and covered him up, leaving only his shoulders and above exposed.
Guan Baiyu hadn't closed the door yet.
Shi Zhen and Jiang Xingsheng, who had just returned, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Xingsheng and Mu Tian were speechless as they looked at Shi Zhen's red lips after Guan Baiyu "bite" him, and at his prone position.
Guan Baiyu returned with the plaster at this time.
Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng: "..." Could it be what they're thinking?!
What did their sons do to Shi Zhen?!
"Dad, Mom, you're back? Go to bed early." Guan Baiyu greeted Mu Tian and the others and closed the door.
Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng took a deep breath together.
Shi Zhen twisted his waist, and that night Guan Baiyu didn't bother him anymore, but slept obediently next to him.
Shi Zhen, however, was a little worried and asked him, "Xiao Yu, do I snore now?"
Guan Baiyu said, "Don't worry, I won't!" Actually, Shi Zhen... usually just snores when he's tired.
Shi Zhen slept for one night, and when he woke up the next day, his back felt much better.
His health in this life is much better than in his previous life.
Guan Baiyu had to go to school, and it wasn't very interesting for him to stay here alone... Shi Zhen ate breakfast and then went back.
When he left... he felt that the expressions Mu Tian and the others gave him were a little strange.
What's going on? Why does it feel like Mu Tian cares about him more?
During breakfast today, Mu Tian kept urging him to eat this and that, she was so enthusiastic... This has never happened before.
Shi Zhen was somewhat puzzled, but didn't think much of it.
As for Guan Baiyu... he knew yesterday that Mu Tian and the others would misunderstand.
This really... left him speechless.
Of course, this isn't a bad thing either. Mu Tian and the others are treating Shi Zhen even better now, aren't they?
After Shi Zhen left, Mu Tian said to Guan Baiyu, "Xiaoyu, you should treat him better in the future..."
Shi Zhenzhen has had a tough time. He kindly helped his son, but in the end, he got himself caught up in it all...
Guan Baiyu smiled: "I will."
