DPPM Chapter 62 - Bathroom - Free Novels Space

|| How can that thing be so big?

When Xia Zhiye heard this sentence across the living room, he felt a chill and murderous aura emanating from the voice. So he hesitated for a moment and quickly backtracked, “No need, there’s no need to trouble our Yan-ge with such hard work. I can just come out wrapped in a towel myself.”

“It’s fine, no trouble.”

Song Yan picked up Xia Zhiye’s pajamas and a box of black boxers from the closet near the bed.

Then he moved a chair and sat by the bathroom door, leaning against the backrest, crossing his legs, and looking up at the half-opened door where Xia Zhiye stood. He smiled, a smile that was both cold and roguish, and asked, “Do you want clothes?”

Xia Zhiye, who only had a bath towel around his waist, hid behind the bathroom door and looked at Song Yan, who was blocking the door with a big smile: “…”

After being silent for a while, he bravely said, “Yan-ge, do you feel like you are being a pervert right now?”

Song Yan: “…”

A little bit.

But it doesn’t matter.

“Less nonsense, if you want clothes, be frank and honest.”

Song Yan frowned, looking murderous. “Answer me, what does ‘raking ears’ mean?”

“…” Xia Zhiye pondered his words for a moment. “Perhaps you won’t believe it, but I really didn’t intend for you to call me a ‘henpecked guy’ in front of Little Fatty and Kong Xiaoxiao.”

“Then what do you want?”

“I wanted to take advantage of you verbally.”

“…”

Frank and straightforward, without any hint of guilt.

Song Yan had never seen such a brazen person. With gritted teeth, he smashed a handful of a black boxer at Xia Zhiye’s face, half-concealed behind the door. “Xia Zhiye! Have some face for once!”

Xia Zhiye caught it and smiled softly. “What’s the point of a face? If I want a face, can you guarantee that you are my boyfriend at this moment?”

Song Yan gritted his teeth, his ears were hot, and wanted to refute. But after thinking about it, he found that he could not do it.

He could only take a deep breath and continue the interrogation. “Then when did you know that Shen Jiayan is Little Milkberry?”

Xia Zhiye answered quickly. “I heard you two talking when I met you in the hotel lobby last time.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me after you added his WeChat?”

“I added his WeChat mainly to discuss with him how to effectively chase after you, so of course I didn’t tell you.”

“…”

So this person had already harbored romantic interest in him at that time? He went and shared a bed with Xia Zhiye, whom he thought was just a good friend, but he thought otherwise!!

He’s got both the heart and the courage of a daredevil, ah.

Song Yan gritted his back molars and smashed Xia Zhiye’s pajama pants as well, planning to settle that account later. “I have one last question.”

“Ask it.”

“How do you explain the incident last month when you borrowed Shen Jiayan’s account at the beginning of the month?” Song Yan’s tone became colder when he asked this question, as if he was genuinely displeased.

Xia Zhiye, who originally regarded this interrogation session as a flirtation opportunity, suddenly felt a shudder in his heart. ‘Did Song Yan find out about the watch situation?’

Xia Zhiye was hastily organizing his thoughts, contemplating how to confess and explain to appease Song Yan’s anger. Just then, he heard Song Yan’s chilling remark, “You borrowed Shen Jiayan’s account just to boost the ranking of a girl. Should I compliment you on your dedication for putting it all on Shen Jiayan’s head?”

Xia Zhiye: “…?”

So Song Yan’s point is not that he used Shen Jiayan’s account, but that the purpose of borrowing his account is to help a girl to climb up her rank. Then… is he jealous?

He didn’t expect that Song Yan could be a little vinegar bag, ah.

In a whisper, Xia Zhiye coaxed Song Yan with a smile, “Weren’t the funds earned at that time meant for buying a gift to confess to you?”

Song Yan got angry when he heard this. “You are willing to earn any kind of money, huh? Using the money you earned to make other girls happy and then buying me a gift, do you think I would be happy? Or do you think people flirt with you every day just for your gaming skills? Didn’t I tell you to cut ties with those strange and dubious girls? Did you not agree to it at that time?”

Xia Zhiye looked at Song Yan’s increasingly hostile tone, and suddenly felt that the term “raking ears” were tailor-made for him. Otherwise he would be displeased that he was interrogated by his boyfriend on the first day of their official romantic relationship.

But he was actually very happy to be interrogated like this. His heart felt overcome with sweetness.

See, look at how much his family Song Daxi likes him – so possessive, so cute when he was jealous.

But while he was cute, it’s better not to have this kind of misunderstanding. He has to let his family Song Daxi know that Xia Zhiye is a good and virtuous boyfriend. So, he explained his circumstances with a small smile, “She’s not some dubious girl with unknown origin, and I can’t cut her off that easily, she’s actually…”

“Are you still protecting her?!”

Thinking about that girl repeatedly flirting and even taking Xia Zhiye to a hotel, bringing him to her room to give him expensive gifts… Song Yan felt very uncomfortable.

Hearing that Xia Zhiye was still defending her, he became very livid. He smashed the balled-up pajama in his hand at him, then got up and left.

When he got up, he was too hasty, his foot tripped on the leg of the chair, causing him to fall. Thankfully, Xia Zhiye hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch him mid-air, while Song Yan also instinctively hugged Xia Zhiye tightly to break his momentum.

However, the floor of the bathroom was slippery, and Xia Zhiye was barefooted. With Song Yan causing a change in his center of gravity, he couldn’t stabilize his body. After a while, he fell to the ground, followed by Song Yan, who fell on top of him.

The towel covering his waist was also scattered.

While they had hugged each other close like this, they were fully clothed at those times.

Touching the finely toned and warm muscle with no barriers was a completely different concept.

Song Yan couldn’t care less about his jealousy. He was panicking, and just wanted to get up.

However, the drainage system of this old house was too poor. The bubbles and water of the shower gel accumulate on the surface of the floor tiles, making it very slippery.

After a few slips, Song Yan suddenly felt that he had touched an extraordinarily weird place. Only then did he realize that the bath towel that should have been around Xia Zhiye’s waist was no longer there.

Stopping for a while, Song Yan, who realized what he was touching, immediately tried to withdraw his hand, like he was electrocuted. However, he was held in place by his wrist.

“You stoked a flame when you kissed me earlier. Now, you even come to add firewood to fuel the flame. Shouldn’t you be responsible for the crime you committed?” Xia Zhiye’s slightly hoarse voice echoed almost directly on Song Yan’s increasingly-hot ear.

While Song Yan’s ear was scorching hot, he still pretended to be calm. “If you are flammable and explosive, it’s not my fault nor my responsibility.”

After saying this, he was ready to escape again.

Faced with this habitual offender who repeatedly committed arson and attempted to escape, Detective Xia skillfully cut off his escape route. With one hand pressing on his waist and the other holding onto his hand, and after making him feel the horror of the crime scene, Detective Xia used his special tone to elicit a confession from a certain arsonist. “After committing so many crimes, you don’t want to take responsibility for any of them?”

Despite Song Yan growing up in an environment that wasn’t particularly wholesome, at least the people around him were willing to disguise themselves as gentlemen on the surface. On top of that, his only close friend was someone even more naive and innocent than him, a true silly white sweet.

He has never seen those movies that other boys of his age have begun to watch. There’s no way he could match the level of degeneracy of this shameless and perverse Xia Zhiye.

Just by the tactile sensations he felt on his palm, Song Yan could explode from shame. His brain directly short-circuited and so he gave up on thinking. All his strength was focused on escaping this dangerous situation, and soon, he managed to wrangle himself out of Xia Zhiye’s clutch.

He quickly ran back to the bedroom, locked the door, then jumped into the bed. He tucked himself inside a quilt, all while cursing Xia Zhiye in aggressive whispers.

Fuck.

Is Xia Zhiye still human?

How can that thing be so big??

Unable to arrest a certain arsonist again in time, Xia Zhiye could only sit alone in the bathroom, facing the crime scene. He gritted his teeth lightly after pondering for a moment.

Again, again, and again. If he doesn’t arrest that habitual offender and make him face severe punishment next time, he isn’t a man.

For safety reasons, they slept in different rooms this night – one in the living room and the other in the bedroom.

The one who slept in the bedroom was so embarrassed he didn’t say any word again after that. When Grandma Liu came to deliver the longevity noodles the next morning, he still had a cold face, like a walking refrigerator.

Even Grandma Liu could feel that the atmosphere was wrong, and said angrily to Xia Zhiye: “Are you bullying Xiao Yan again?”

Xia Zhiye picked the chopped green onion from Song Yan’s bowl into his own bowl, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh. “Grandma, open your eyes and see clearly who is bullying whom.”

Grandma Liu didn’t listen to him and looked at Song Yan instead. She said, “He’s just like this, he’s just been messing around since he was a child. For the sake of his birthday today, please forgive him, okay?”

After she said that, she added another poached egg to Song Yan’s bowl, and then turned her head to look at Xia Zhiye. “Are you coming back to eat tonight?”

Even though the Xia family always had a laissez-faire attitude regarding Xia Zhiye, since the death of Xia Zhiye’s parents, every holiday and birthday, they would call him back for a family feast. So, according to tradition, Xia Zhiye shouldn’t be coming back tonight.

But just in case, Grandma Liu had to confirm that. “If you come back tonight, I’ll order a cake for later.”

With Song Yan here this year, Xia Zhiye didn’t want to go to the Xia family house. But he didn’t want Grandma Liu to waste money, so after eating the last mouthful of longevity noodles, he stretched his waist satisfactorily. “It shouldn’t come back tonight. Grandma, no need to prepare anything.”

“Mn, I see, I’ll get you something delicious that weekend, ah-choo—” Grandma Liu sneezed.

Xia Zhiye hurriedly asked. “You have a cold?”

“Nothing, it’s alright. It’s just that the electric blanket was broken last night. I guess I got a little cold.”

After she said that, a slight frown appeared on Xia Zhiye’s face. “Didn’t I tell you that it is dangerous for you and Little Mahjong to use an electric blanket? Please just use the air conditioners, it’s not the place to save electricity bills.”

“It’s not about the electricity bill. The air conditioner doesn’t work.”

“Last time, I wanted to change it for you, and you said it was still working normally, didn’t you?”

Xia Zhiye seemed a little miffed.

Grandma Liu hurriedly tried to appease him by softening her voice. “Aiyo, why are you mad at me again? Can’t I feel uncomfortable using the air conditioner? Alright, alright, go to school, both of you. I’ll go buy a new electric blanket this afternoon.”

After saying that, she supported her waist and took small steps back to the next yard.

Xia Zhiye was distressed and angry, but did not dare to scold back. He could only sigh. “I’ll change the air conditioner later…”

Song Yan wanted to ask: ‘Where do you have the money to change her air conditioner?’

But after thinking about it, he felt that asking in such a way might hurt Xia Zhiye’s self-esteem. So he just asked, “You’re not coming back tonight? Where are you going?”

“Not going anywhere, just don’t want Grandma to waste money on that cake.” Xia Zhiye smiled and ruffled Song Yan’s head, “Tonight, I’ll definitely spend it with our Yan-ge. I’m content with what I have; I don’t need that cake.”

He was actually talking nonsense, flirting with his boyfriend along the way.

However, when it entered Song Yan’s ears, Xia Zhiye’s voice sounded like it was laced with the sadness of “I don’t want to waste money buying a cake for my birthday, but I still want to change the air conditioner for my grandmother”. So, Song Yan lowered his head and stirred the contents of the bowl, hiding his expression. His heart felt uncomfortable.

He didn’t want Xia Zhiye’s birthday to go without a cake.

Xia Zhiye told him that he should have everything other children have. So, he hoped that whatever other people’s boyfriends had, Xia Zhiye should have as well.

But he has almost no money on his body besides his meal card now, and there is still a week before Song Minghai will give him living expenses next month. He didn’t know what money he could spend to buy Xia Zhiye a cake.

Song Yan suddenly felt that he was really an incompetent boyfriend.

As he was mulling about it, Xia Zhiye’s cell phone rang.

Song Yan looked up and saw that when Xia Zhiye saw the caller ID, his expression remained casual and indifferent. Then, he lazily stood up, “I’ll go take a call.”

He didn’t look abnormal, so Song Yan didn’t think much about it. With a “hmm” sound, he lowered his head and turned on his phone to see if he could think of something else.

As a result, just after unlocking, the name “Song Minghai” popped up on the screen. He was calling him.

The moment he saw the name, Song Yan wanted to hang up.

However, he understood Song Minghai’s personality; unless it was very important, he would not call him. It was useless to hang up – if anything, it may result in Song Minghai personally coming up directly to his door.

Compared to face-to-face communication where he was bound to show some semblance of filial piety, telephone communication was more labor-effective.

So Song Yan pressed the answer button, his voice was as cold as ice icicles under the eaves. “What’s the matter?”

The other party doesn’t seem to be interested in his poor etiquette. He went straight to the point directly: “I’ve already arranged for you to skip tonight’s self-study. The car will pick you up at six. Accompany me to attend a dinner banquet.”

“It may be more appropriate for you to find a small-time actress or a big internet celebrity to accompany you in this kind of thing.” Song Yan said calmly and plainly, which sounded more ironic.

Song Minghai wasn’t bothered by his tone. He continued on with an eerie-level of calmness. “This dinner is a special situation, it was a private dinner banquet hosted for the grandson of my business partner. It’s improper to bring such messy people to accompany me. I heard that his grandson is very good, and he seems to be about the same age as you, so you should be able to chat together. “

“I’m a sullen and unsociable person, sensitive and prone to jealousy, full of lies, and mentally distorted. I probably won’t be able to have a pleasant conversation with your business partner’s outstanding grandson. You might want to find someone more suitable.” Song Yan said and was about to hang up the phone.

Song Minghai directly stated: “Five thousand.”

“…”

“As long as you attend tonight, I will give you an extra 5,000 living expenses for next month.”

If he remembers correctly, in the past, it would cost more than this just to find a casual companion for Song Minghai. It seems that in his father’s eyes, Song Yan is really not worth that much.

However, a business partner who could make Song Minghai call him early in the morning was definitely not an ordinary one. Most likely, Song Minghai wanted to strengthen their relationship by using Song Yan.

This kind of proactive attitude towards making connections was not a common occurrence with Song Minghai. Which means, this business partner was higher in status compared to Song Minghai. On top of that, there’s a high probability that Song Minghai has some requests or needs from this person.

So in this case, it was better for him to raise the price directly.

After all, instead of arguing with Song Minghai, it’s better to use Song Minghai as an ATM machine – take some money to buy the air conditioner for Grandma Liu, and buy a birthday cake for Xia Zhiye.

Since yesterday, Song Yan has completely figured out that hating a person so intensely only led him to wasting precious time and energy. However, treating them as an emotionless cash machine was not a waste.

In the end, he coldly said, “10,000. Give it to me today, and you must send me back before the evening self-study is over.”

There was a chuckle from the other end of the phone, almost like appreciation and satisfaction. “Alright, you have a deal.”

The call was hung up.

And at the moment he hung up the phone, outside the room, Xia Zhiye sighed and chuckled, “Grandpa, did you really want to embarrass me by having the lion dance team come to pick me up at school? Okay, I’ll come back for the dinner banquet, I won’t let you lose face. Am I such an unfilial person? But remember, you promised me that the air conditioner will definitely be sent and installed tonight.”

After a short pause, he added, “And I have to go back to the dormitory before the evening self-study finishes. I promised someone that I’ll spend my birthday together.”

“Well, Merry Christmas Eve.”
