Chapter 48 The Rival's Sandwich
"Forgot?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Zisui's delicate face. He slowly approached Xie Changyu, and the distance between the two gradually decreased. "But the baby told me yesterday that he would come to see us, and he forgot today."
"It's all Wen Shu and Jiang Yue's fault," Xie Changyu muttered to himself. He had completely forgotten about the two guys, and besides, he hadn't planned to see them in the first place. He hadn't expected them to catch up with him.
He continued stubbornly, saying, "My family wants me to go home tonight; they miss me."
Shen Zisui was handsome, and his sudden closeness made Shen Zisui feel a little uncomfortable. Caught off guard, Shen Zisui pushed his face away. Instead of being angry, Shen Zisui smiled ingratiatingly and said in a wronged tone, "I missed you too."
Xie Changyu gradually hardened his tone and said firmly, "You've seen me now, but my parents haven't seen me yet."
He glanced at his phone; it was midnight. He seemed a little anxious. "Time's almost up, I have to catch my flight, don't stop me."
At this moment, Chen Du stepped forward, his gray-blue eyes fixed on him, and said in a calm tone, "You can't leave."
Shen Zisui pursed her lips and remained silent.
Xie Changyu then turned his gaze to the guy next to him, who looked puzzled. "Why?"
"You promised us."
"What did I promise you?!"
"You said you could come see us once we've recovered from our injuries."
Shen Zisui couldn't help but interrupt. He looked aggrieved, his usually fierce face now showing signs of weakness.
Xie Changyu glanced at their faces. Yes, they were indeed clean now, without a single scar, and had regained their usual good looks. The two brothers standing together were quite a sight to behold.
He patted Shen Zisui's head and coaxed, "We've already seen each other, haven't we? I didn't lie to you. Now I have to catch a plane home, so please don't stop me, okay?"
He only dared to do this because he was very bold. When he put his hand on the person, he secretly observed their expression and made sure that the other person did not reject it but rather enjoyed it before he dared to continue.
Xie Changyu thought he had a very good temper. He felt that he could remain so calm even when his plane was blocked. If it were Jiang Yue, he was afraid that neither of them could stop him.
They made no mention of the fact that they had made empty promises to them.
But to her surprise, Shen Zisui, who was enjoying herself, was adamant: "No, you can't go back now."
Xie Changyu withdrew his hand, somewhat speechless. "What do you want?"
“Come back with us.”
"Do I know you guys that well? What if you're human traffickers?"
He really couldn't stand those two anymore. Seriously, they wouldn't even let him go home. This was unacceptable.
Shen Zisui looked up, her tone flat, "Are you worried?"
“We’re not liars.” Shen Du stepped forward, a hint of emotion finally appearing on his pale, cold face. He looked Xie Changyu in the eye and parted his thin lips slightly, “You promised us.”
here we go again.
Xie Changyu was feeling irritated. A casual remark he made yesterday had become the thing that had been weighing on him all day. — Fine.
He forced a smile, looking at the two people blocking his way like gatekeepers, and finally relented, "Okay, I won't leave today, I'll change my ticket."
He was curious to see what these two were up to.
Shen Zisui's emotions changed quickly; her just-sad expression instantly turned to surprise. She seemed surprised that he would suggest changing her ticket, and her tone was somewhat uncertain, "Really?"
Chen Du also looked over, and if you looked closely, you could see that his pupils were slightly dilated; this was the only expression of his emotion.
Xie Changyu casually handed over the suitcase, raised his chin, and said arrogantly, "What are you pretending for? Didn't you stop me just to make me say that?"
Fortunately, he didn't tell his parents he was going back today, otherwise he would have been slammed for changing his ticket at the last minute.
When are you going back?
Xie Changyu looked at his phone and thought for a moment, then decided to go back tomorrow. He didn't want to stay with these guys for long, so he'd just have to do it for one day. He could only accept one day.
After receiving confirmation of the successful rebooking, Xie Changyu looked at the two people and handed them his phone, saying, "It's done."
"So what do you want to do? Tell me."
Throughout the conversation, Xie Changyu maintained the initiative, and the fact that the other two were constantly showing weakness gave him great satisfaction.
A hint of a smile flashed in Shen Zisui's eyes. He licked his lips, his voice a little hoarse, "We've changed hotels. Come with us."
Xie Changyu didn't react much when he heard that they had changed to another place. As long as they weren't going to out of town, it was fine. He nodded and urged, "Let's go then."
Chen Du reached out and took the backpack from him, saying in a low voice, "The car is already waiting."
Xie Changyu choked up. Were they so confident that he would go with them? They had even called a car in advance. He blinked and was finally led out of the airport by the two men, one in front and one behind.
When he got on the bus, he was sandwiched between two people, sitting in the middle. He was already wearing thick clothes, and being squeezed by two people made Xie Changyu feel a bit stuffy. He pushed the two people away, saying, "It's so crowded."
Shen Zisui pursed her lips and sat down to the side for a while. After making the movement, she glanced at Chen Du and saw that he was not moving. She was a little dissatisfied, but she did not dare to show it in front of Xie Changyu.
Fortunately, Xie Changyu noticed and looked at Chen Du. His tone was relatively calm, "Why aren't you moving?"
Chen Du didn't say anything; he moved a few steps to the side.
Okay, now it's finally not crowded anymore.
The bus had air conditioning, and Xie Changyu felt increasingly hot, so she simply took off her scarf, thinking she would put it back on when she got off the bus.
The two people next to him naturally paid attention to his movements. Chen Du was alright; he only turned his head slightly to look. Shen Zisui, on the other hand, was more direct. He turned his face away and stared directly at the object, and then saw something that made him very angry.
His breathing was unsteady, and his voice was slightly distorted, "What is this?"
Xie Changyu looked at him in confusion, "What?"
Shen Zisui didn't speak, but stared intently at his neck. Xie Changyu immediately realized something and felt a sense of unease. He hadn't forgotten that his neck was covered in hickeys.
He picked up his scarf and covered his neck again, trying to brush it off with a fake smile, "It was a mosquito bite."
Shen Zisui's face was pale, and she said weakly, "It's winter."
Xie Changyu didn't panic when he was exposed. He blinked and said, "So what if it's winter? I said it was mosquito bites, so it was mosquito bites."
Chen Du pulled off the scarf around Xie Changyu's neck. At first, Xie Changyu tried to stop him, but he gave up when he realized that the other person was too strong.
The car they were in was no ordinary taxi; it was obviously extremely expensive, and the interior was very spacious. The front row had been blocked by a partition at some point, and Xie Changyu could no longer see the driver. The space seemed to have suddenly become sealed off.
Chen Du touched his neck with his hand, frowning as he looked at the bruises. "Who hit you?"
"laugh."
Shen Zisui was speechless at his ignorant words. "You have really good eyesight."
The sarcastic tone was obvious to Shen Du, and his eyes turned cold. "Then tell me what this is."
Shen Zisui pursed his lips, staring at Xie Changyu's expression without saying a word, and even took his hand.
Xie Changyu was forced to clasp his hands together, and he closed his eyes to tell the truth, "I was bitten."
"who?"
"Why do you all care so much?" Xie Changyu was getting annoyed by the questions. He pushed the hand off his neck and sulked. He was already annoyed because he couldn't go home, and now he was being asked so many questions.
It was impossible to see what was going on outside the car, but something must have been turned on. There was a light on in the back seat, making it seem like it was nighttime outside. This kind of environment can easily breed bad thoughts.
Xie Changyu's coat was taken off; now all his warm clothing had been removed—scarf, gloves, coat…
Xie Changyu didn't mind; he was quite hot anyway, and taking his clothes off would be just right. However—
He grabbed the hand that was trying to take off his sweater, looking at him with a questioning expression, "What are you doing?"
Shen Zisui looked innocent. "I think you're hot."
"And you?" Xie Changyu turned his head to look at the other person, who was still holding Chen Du's hand. "Why have you been touching my neck?"
Chen Du's expression remained calm, as if he himself hadn't reached out. "Curious."
Curious about the hickey, Xie Changyu was amused by the answer. He was now putting on the act of a respectable man, but he didn't even know who had forcibly kissed him before.
Although he himself wasn't very experienced, he still had to put on an act. Xie Changyu raised his eyebrows slightly and twitched his nose slightly, "I can tell just by pinching my own neck with my own hands."
As he spoke, he opened the hand again, but it wrapped around him again the next second. If it was just one finger pointing at him before, now all five fingers were stuck to it, making Xie Changyu feel like he was being stuck by an octopus, giving him a suffocating feeling.
well.
Xie Changyu glanced at Chen Du, who still had that indifferent expression. Even though his hand had touched him, he acted as if he didn't understand love. Xie Changyu suddenly found him a bit irritating. This guy was too pretentious.
Before Chen Du could react, Xie Changyu reached out and grabbed his neck.
After feeling the hand leave her neck, Xie Changyu smiled and said smugly, "Weren't you curious? Why were you touching my neck? Let me help you."
As he spoke, he began pinching the man's neck repeatedly, not with much force, since that part of the body is quite fragile, and he was just playing around.
However, Shen Du's skin was very sensitive, and it turned red instantly when he pinched it casually. Xie Changyu's eyes widened at the sight, and Shen Du's eyes also began to turn red. Finally, a trace of reluctance appeared on his face.
Xie Changyu found it rather strange and exclaimed, "You're so sensitive!"
Shen Zisui, who was sitting next to Xie Changyu, couldn't sit still any longer. He clung to her, resting his face on Xie Changyu's shoulder, his expression a mixture of grievance and jealousy. "Don't touch him, can you touch me instead?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Changyu released his grip and turned to look at Shen Zisui. "I won't touch anyone anymore."
The two of them were so obedient that Xie Changyu felt a little unreal. Could it be that these two weren't the ones who lied to him before?
Shen Zisui's eyes darkened. He lowered his gaze and said in a wronged tone, "You just touched him."
"I was pinching."
Shen Zisui wouldn't listen; he was extremely jealous. "Then pinch me too."
Xie Changyu wrinkled her nose, her tone hesitant, "You don't have some kind of hobby, do you?"
He said that, but his hand still reached out and touched her. This time he didn't pinch her, but instead used his hand to hold her chin. Then he saw the satisfied look on her face and felt a little disgusted. "It really is true."
"I didn't." Shen Zisui's voice was a little hoarse. He licked his lips and defended himself, "I just like it when you touch me."
Xie Changyu withdrew his hand and concluded, "You guys are really perverts."
He pushed away the two people who had come closer again, then put on his clothes. This time he didn't wear a scarf, since it was really warm inside the car and he was a bit hot wearing too many layers. The two people next to him, on the other hand, were dressed quite lightly, perhaps because they were in a hurry when they left.
Chen Du still tried to defend himself, saying, "He's the pervert."
He is not.
Xie Changyu smiled expressionlessly, "You're no different."
After all, someone who can wear women's clothing and deceive him without batting an eye can't be a normal person either. They really are brothers, with identical twisted personalities.
Speaking of brothers, Xie Changyu naturally thought of another pair of brothers. Although they were not blood-related, they must have grown up together. Moreover, although the two of them seemed to be at odds on the surface, they were actually very in sync. For example, when he woke up early in the morning, he hadn't even realized what was happening before they took advantage of him in a coordinated manner.
It's like this again now.
Why is it so hard to go home?
He opened his phone and sent a message to his cousin. The only person he told about going home was his cousin, the gaming friend he had joked about with during the game.
The reply came quickly: "[Want to play all day? You've been playing all semester, what's so fun about that? But I'm going home tomorrow too, so we'll run into each other.]"
[Bored Guy: How long are you going to stay home this time?]
Cousin: Hmm... two days, I guess.
[Bored Male God: So short, is it Chinese New Year?]
[Cousin: I can't come home for Chinese New Year, I have to work. Why do you want me to come back and be with you so much?]
[Bored Male God: ...]
[Cousin: Okay, enough joking around. See you tomorrow, have fun.]
[Bored God: Okay.]
After turning off his phone, Xie Changyu felt like two heads were practically touching him. He pushed them away, somewhat speechless. "I was just texting my cousin, what are you looking at?"
Shen Zisui frowned, clearly not believing it. "Cousin? My brother and I aren't even this close when we chat?"
Xie Changyu rolled her eyes at him, "You two don't seem to get along well."
Although these two look quite alike, their relationship is clearly superficial; like another pair of brothers, they really don't hold back at all when they fight.
Chen Du said sullenly, "You haven't added me yet."
Xie Changyu glanced at him, then opened her phone and handed it to him, saying, "Let's add one now."
The two successfully added each other on social media, and this time Shen Du's expression was noticeably more relaxed, as if he had gotten what he wanted.
Shen Zisui, who was standing next to him, said, "You're going back tomorrow? What are we going to do then?"
"You're all going home for the Chinese New Year too?"
Shen Zisui shook his head, "Going home is too boring. I ran away secretly this time, so I definitely won't be able to get out if I go home."
After his escape was discovered, the old man froze all his cards. Now he only has a small balance in his phone, not much, only a few hundred thousand.
However, Chen Du's card was fine, and the old man didn't find out that they had come out together, so now the two of them rely on Chen Du's money for food, clothing, and lodging.
Xie Changyu was somewhat surprised to hear this. "You snuck out?"
What's going on here?
Shen Zisui said pitifully, "Yes, I can't go back now, I'll be beaten to death."
"That terrifying?" Xie Changyu turned to look at Shen Du, only to find that Shen Du, who had always been at odds with Shen Zisui, did not refute the statement, so it seemed to be true.
"So what will you do for the Chinese New Year?"
"It's Chinese New Year." Shen Zisui blinked, a slight smile playing on his lips. He wrapped his arms around Xie Changyu's, their faces pressed together for a long time. He whispered, "Can I go back with you?"
Xie Changyu politely refused: "Get lost."
Bringing a man home, is he courting death? No, his parents probably won't misunderstand; they'll just think he brought a friend home, and they'll welcome him warmly. But if he reveals this to them, he's doomed. So, bringing him home is out of the question.
Shen Zisui lowered his eyes, looking at those pink and white lips, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, "May I kiss you?"
Xie Changyu was startled by this guy's erratic thoughts. He didn't understand what this person was thinking, but as the face got closer and closer, he still avoided it. In the end, he thought his face would be kissed, but it wasn't. Shen Du reached out and blocked it, and Shen Zisui stopped in time and didn't get kissed.
Shen Zisui sneered, "Take it away."
Chen Du withdrew his hand, his expression indifferent. "He doesn't like it."
Xie Changyu's lips twitched slightly. He was quite polite now, even considering whether he liked it or not. Who was it that held him down and kissed him for so long before?
The next second, Chen Du looked at Xie Changyu and asked in a low voice, "May I kiss you?"
Xie Changyu reacted quickly this time, "No way!"
"good."
Chen Du showed no regret. After being rejected, he sat up straight and looked away, focusing his gaze on the partition in front of him.
Shen Zisui narrowed his eyes slightly. He was somewhat unwilling. He knew that his older brother had kissed Changyu, and now he was the only one who hadn't. He was not convinced.
Although they had only met a few times, Shen Zisui knew that Changyu had a hidden attraction to good-looking people. Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, he found that as long as he deliberately got close to the other person, the other person would be in a daze and would not refuse any request. He had tried it several times before and it worked every time.
He could have kissed her just now, but that damned Shen Du stopped him, and he even looked so righteous. It's hilarious. He didn't know before, but now that he's seen it, he knows that this guy is playing hard to get, but Chang Yu just happens to fall for it.
It should be said that Changyu is susceptible to all kinds of tactics, and he is not too resistant to good-looking people.
Shen Zisui knew he was good-looking, while Shen Du, although he looked like him, was very plain, the complete opposite of his glamorous face. He had always hated it when people said he was good-looking, but after meeting Xie Changyu, he liked it most when people said he was good-looking.
So he looked up and said softly, "Baby."
-----------------------
The author's note: It seems the protagonist is becoming more assertive and assertive, no longer timid, and more in control.
Hmm... I feel like I've almost finished it within fifty chapters. I think it should be finished in another four or five chapters. This story has seriously gone off-topic. I originally wanted to write it according to the synopsis, but the more I wrote, the more it deviated from the original. The next world is ancient BL, so I won't write about the bottom (uke) too much. There are too many characters to develop. Or I might still write about this much, but with more and less writing. There are three main bottoms.
