68 – Brother Shen’s hand is very comfortable to touch!
At 8:30, the guests were leaving.
An Xing exhaled and took a few sips of juice to quench his thirst, the little curly hair on top of his head wilted.
Seeing no one around, An Rong leaned on the side table and took a few sips of water.
As the important protagonist of today’s banquet, he first followed behind An Zhaoming, and then followed behind Shen Qing to acknowledge the people. When he thought this was enough, he was pulled by An Xing to chat with the young masters and get to know them, and he simply couldn’t stop for a moment.
An Rong looked at the teenager with some admiration in his heart. The young boy’s usual image is too harmless and silly, but in today’s banquet he showed strong memory and affinity.
–An xing knew almost every young man who came to participate in the banquet, and could also say a sentence or two about that person’s character traits and hobbies, then he let An Rong and the other side to talk.
That look of ease in the crowd, did not at all look like their family’s little fool, and the image of the young master of the mansion, has become clearer and more concrete.
What shocked him even more was that, after meeting so many people, An Rong had never seen anyone who didn’t like the little fool’s attitude. He, the An family’s true young master also received a lot of measured scrutinizing eyes, but regardless of men or women almost everyone is very kind to An Xing.
An Rong thought, even if the little fool’s business brain is not strong enough, just because of this kind of goodwill, he is still a qualified heir to the wealthy family. However, the little fool did not hesitate and chose to stand on the side of the truth.
Boys are complicated. He saw the young man turning his head to look around, then leaned softly on the edge of the table, turning from the reserved little prince into a curly-haired wilted ball.
“Gege, I’m so tired. I want to eat a raspberry cupcake ……” `
An Rong: ……
An Rong: I’m tired too, but he’s crying out to me and calling me gege
The boy silently walks a few steps and picks up the best looking piece of cupcake from the long table next to him and comes back to hand it to the teenager.
An Xing holds the cupcake and takes a bite, narrowing his eyes in satisfaction.
“Ah Rong, Xing Xing, we’re leaving now.”
After Xiao Yi and Chen Bai greeted the An family couple, they came over to say goodbye to them. Seeing An Xing holding the cupcake with a pitiful look, the two of them reached out and rubbed the teenager’s wilted little curly hair.
“Our poor xingxing, he’s had a long day.”
“Everyone will be gone in a while, so get some rest.”
An Xing swallowed the cupcake and shook his head, lamenting.
“Today has been a very relaxing day, everyone has been very friendly and there is not a single obtrusive person in sight.”
Xiao Yi and Chen Bai glanced at An Xing with strange expressions. This little fool really doesn’t understand his own advantages at all.
He is obviously a fake young master, but he is treated as a treasure by the An family. He never wants to be strong, he is gentle and likes art and is not aggressive. How bad a person would have to be to hate such a young boy!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi suddenly remembered another thing.
“By the way, Xingxing, did you know that Sun Cheng was sent abroad by the Sun family?”
An Xing was startled: “What?”
“Sun Cheng has such a bad mouth. If they don’t send him out of the country, he will offend everyone. How can he develop in Tang city in the future?”
Chen Bai sneered, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, with a bit of murderous spirit. At the last party to celebrate Xiao Yi’s recovery, Sun Cheng’s mouth was unclean and made rumors about themselves. Originally, he was going to ask his own big brother to take action, but he didn’t realize that he hadn’t had time to do it yet. ……
“Lu Tian Shen is really great, he went to the Sun family directly to warn them.”
Chen Bai sighed with emotion, and from the corner of his eye, he realized that An Xing was dully grasping the small fork as his face slowly reddened, and he sharply looked over.
“Xing cub? What’s wrong?”
The teenager instantly returned to his senses and shook his head to cover up his thoughts.
“I’m fine, I’m fine, it’s none of my business.”
“……”
As he said this, An Xing couldn’t help but think… Was Lu Tianchen doing this for him?
His eyes slowly drifted into the distance. The young man stood in front of An Zhaoming, Uncle Chen, and the head of the Xiao family. He was obviously the youngest among them, but he did not fall behind in the face of the elders, and his every move carried a unique aura.
Then as if he felt something, the man suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight over.
The long and sharp black eyes met the round almond eyes, and they paused for a moment, then a little smile appeared.
An Xing quickly turned away, and a blush slowly appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
*
An Xing’s roommates Zhou Bin and Chen Fang, and An Rong’s good brother Liu Hong, are sitting in the corner.
They originally thought that today was just an ordinary party, so they came here in high spirits. In the end, there is a security check at the door, there are waiters to guide the way, and after entering, one by one big shots appeared, even if they did not recognize the faces, looking at the clothes they all know that it is very remarkable.
Zhou Bin and Chen Fang are art students, and their families are not so bad, although they are surprised by this kind of scene they are still calm, but Liu Hong is really a bit confused.
But as a good brother of An Rong, he was tough and patient. Especially after An Rong came over to comfort him, saying that he doesn’t need to pay attention to other people, just eat and drink, Liu Hong also relaxed a lot.
So when An Rong was announced up there, the three of them applauded from below; when An Rong and An Xing were led around to socialize, the three of them ate, drank and chatted in the corner.
By the time the An brothers came to them tiredly, the three were chatting happily.
“Sorry, we’ve been busy.”
An Rong was also tired enough, seeing the three sitting in the corner looking radiant, he felt that tonight he should not have the energy to play video games all night with his friends as the little fool had said.
An Xing can’t move, seeing that no one pays attention to this corner he squeezed over to sit on the sofa, paralyzed into a curly hair ball, his eyes empty as if he had lost his soul.
“I really can’t move ……”
“Hang in there, Xing zai, there are only a few guests left. …… Aiyo, Su Yiran is coming!”
An Xing instantly sat up straight, showing a proud and dignified look, and arrogantly tilted his chin up and looked over.
People: ……
Su Yiran walked over, smiled grudgingly, and said to Zhou Bin and Chen Fang:
“Are you two going back to the dormitory? Let’s go together.”
Without letting the two open their mouths, An Xing faintly said: “These two will stay here tonight.”
Su Yiran froze, then his eyes lit up. He held back from looking at An Rong beside him and only softly said:
“Then I ……”
“You hurry back to the dormitory, it is not easy to take a taxi here, but you can find a person you know to carpool with.”
An Xing said to Su Yiran with a smile on his face, but in his eyes was an unshakeable refusal. Who knows what he could do in one night if he was allowed to stay at their house.
“Isn’t that my cousin? You can go with them and you can stay in the dormitory by yourself tonight, right?
The rejection in these words was too obvious, Su Yiran’s face changed again and again, then as if he thought of something. He looked at An Xing for a few seconds and turned away without saying a word.
“He ……”
An Rong frowned, always feeling that this person’s last gaze was a bit strange, as if it carried anger and malicious intent.
An Xing, however, waved his hand without a care in the world: “Just let him go.”
He grumbled again and nestled back into the sofa to relax his aching back. Before he could rest for a few minutes, he felt a poke on his arm, and then his roommate’s voice cautiously rang out.
“Xing cub ah, your Shen brother came over …….”
The curly-haired little lump instantly popped up and stood in the form of a little prince, but his gaze drifted and he didn’t meet the man’s eyes.
Being forced to a night’s confession at this moment he is restless. In that confession, Lu Tianchen’s expression, words, and small movements were all as clear as if they had just happened.
The heart that had just calmed down for a short period of time, again disobediently jumped wildly.
As if he could see the teenager’s nervousness, Lu Tian Shen opened his mouth, his voice was low and flat.
“I have to go now, Xingxing, will you come to see me off?”
A rare weak request made An Xing instantly feel guilty.
Look, isn’t it just a confession? Brother Shen was so afraid of being rejected that he didn’t dare to raise his voice in front of him!
“Let’s go! I’ll see you off!”
The young man puffed up his chest, stepped forward without hesitation, and led the man away.
An Rong:……
Haha, he really thinks highly of the little fool. He will definitely be taken away by Lu Tianchen in less than a month.
*
The front yard of the villa was a small garden, and it was summer time, with cicadas chirping loudly. The light pollution outside the city is not too bad, if you lift your head and look carefully, you can still see the stars in the deep blue sky.
Walking shoulder to shoulder like this, An Xing only felt that his chaotic thoughts seemed to have slowly calmed down. He turned his head slightly and stole a glance at the man.
Lu Tian Shen didn’t say anything, his eyes looked at the roadside, seemingly pondering something.
Aiya, his brother Shen will not regret just after confessing his love, right?
An Xing’s heart was so tight that his steps went out of order and he stumbled on the gravel path.
“Be careful.”
Obviously his eyes were elsewhere, but the moment the teenager stumbled, the man noticed, and quickly reached out to help the other side.
The two of them stopped at a corner, surrounded by shrubs, unable to see farther and could only see each other’s silhouettes and expressions.
Looking at the teenager showing a little apprehension and panic without the slightest bit of disgust, Lu Tian Shen’s fluttering heart suddenly fell back to earth.
Although the confession was unexpected, the result of this accident does not seem to be bad.
He originally thought that the little fool could open up on his own and naturally realize the unspoken bond between them, so all along he had only been secretly flirting and did not dare to express his feelings. But now he realized that confessing did not push the teenager away from him.
In fact, he had been too restrained in the past. There is really no way to wrap his head around this little fool, he should have shot a straight ball a long time ago.
Thinking like this, Lu Tian Shen did not let go of his hand, still holding the teenager’s waist. He bent his head slightly, and his voice was low and incredibly soft in the summer night.
“Xingxing, now that you know I like you, can I pursue you?”
The teenager lifted his head in the man’s arms, his round almond eyes blinked, and his long, thick eyelashes looked like trembling butterfly wings. His gaze wandered for a moment, and like a magnet that had fled but was attracted back it fell unconsciously on the man’s face.
“Pursue, pursue! I didn’t say I won’t let you …… pursue me.”
His voice was clear and bright with a little bit of coy bluff. The young man’s light curry colored eyes were wet, and the way he swallowed his saliva when he was nervous looked adorable in the man’s eyes.
Lu Tian Shen only felt his heart beating more intensely, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask the young man in his arms, does this mean that he agrees with his pursuit, or ……?
Ever since he’d been attracted to the person in front of him, he’d never wavered in his belief that the two of them were together. Just as An Xing knew him, he knew An Xing well enough.
–If you have to choose a marriage partner, An Xing will undoubtedly choose him, because he is the most reliable and the most suitable person within the range of options.
However, Lu Tian Shen was greedy and wanted to fall in love with the teenager. With this in mind, and with the An family’s child in the wrong arms, he delayed the engagement for so long once An Xing had agreed to it.
And the second stupid thing he did was to think that this little fool could open up on his own.
Looking at the young man’s crimson color from his neck, even if he knew that this little fool was just embarrassed and didn’t have any other thoughts for the time being, Lu Tian Shen couldn’t help but feel that he had wasted a lot of time.
Why didn’t he shoot a straight ball earlier!
Forget it, whatever. The little fool did not say anything, just assumed that he agreed to his pursuit.
The man’s embrace was very familiar. An Xing felt it, and was shocked and naturally found that he was not used to it or uncomfortable at all.
He thought for a moment, looked up at the man, and spoke tentatively.
“Brother Shen, can you let me hold your hand first?”
Lu Tian Shen thought he heard wrongly: “What?”
The young man patted the man’s arm, stepped out of the man’s arms confidently, and said even more confidently:
“If you want to pursue me, then we may be closer in the future. In this case, let me feel in advance whether it will be uncomfortable to be closer to you, Brother Shen… Isn’t this reasonable!”
Lu Tian shen:…
Lu Tian Shen suspected that he had drunk too much and he actually also felt that the teenager’s words were reasonable. He hesitantly lifted his hand and slowly grabbed the young man’s hand that was hanging down at his side.
The young man’s fingers are long and thin, smooth and tender to the touch, with a thin layer of callus covering the soft flesh of his fingers. The man’s hand, on the other hand, was much more powerful, with a larger palm that wrapped around the teenager’s hand.
An Xing lowered his head, and curiously looked at the two men’s hands covered together for a while, and then with one movement, he interlocked with the man’s five fingers, and their knuckles touched each other, entangled and overlapped together.
The man’s breathing was heavy.
Lu Tian Shen: No, calm down, don’t think too much. This little fool just likes to be sticky, there is no other meaning.
An Xing felt it and nodded his head in satisfaction.
Sure enough, his brother Shen’s hand is very comfortable to touch!
Next time, I’ll try something more advanced.
