TL: Hua
That night, when Shen Boyan returned home, just like every night in the past, Xia Shu’an had already arrived home first. And because Shen Boyan came back later than usual tonight, Xia Shu’an was already sitting in the dining room.
“I’m going to change clothes. I’ll be down soon.”
The man hugged Xia Shu’an, and the latter meekly opened his arms to him as usual.
Shen Boyan came down in less than ten minutes after changing. He changed into home clothes and let his hair down, which reduced his elite and heavy feeling but added a bit of wildness. His tall frame was oppressive as he came through the door of the dining room. As he approached, he glanced at the table.
For home-cooked meals tonight, there are mostly his favorite dishes. The two sides of the rectangular table were not far apart, with a vase of flower arrangements at one end of the table. The delicate pink wintersweet flower was innocent and cute, which made people feel happy just looking at it.
Shen Boyan raised his eyebrows and said, “Are you in a good mood today?”
“It was Auntie Qiao who picked them. I saw that the flowers are so beautiful, and it’s such a shame to waste them, so I arranged them.”
Shen Boyan agreed: “It’s indeed beautiful.”
The two began to eat slowly. Shen Boyan didn’t grow up under a strict “aristocratic education,” and neither did Xia Shu’an. The two would usually chat for a while and talk about what happened today. They briefly exchanged a few sentences, and when it was Xia Shu’an’s turn to speak, he used the most gentle and soft voice to say, “I have something to ask you. Do you remember a senior of mine named Chang Jun whom you met at dinner before? His scholarship and a letter of recommendation were canceled. Do you know what happened?”
“Ah, this.” Shen Boyan said casually, “I asked people to do it.”
“Why?” Realizing that his tone was a bit harsh, Xia Shu’an immediately restrained himself and asked innocently and softly, “Why? Did he do something wrong?”
Shen Boyan pleasantly pointed his fork towards the beef cubes on the plate and looked up at Xia Shu’an with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “Do you think he did nothing wrong?”
Xia Shu’an’s heart sank down. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know; I don’t know much about him, so I’m wondering what he did to make you so angry.”
“Did he send you to ask me?”
“Nope. We’re coworkers and have a direct senior and junior relationship, and the rest of the lab was concerned, so I came to ask you.”
Xia Shu’an tried his best to distance himself from Chang Jun so as not to be caught by Shen Boyan in any “intimate affair.” But he obviously did not realize that his different behavior had attracted Shen Boyan’s attention.
The young man in front of him was so obedient that he seemed to have no backbone. The video flashed through Shen Boyan’s mind, along with the result of his investigation: From the time Xia Shu’an entered the school as a freshman, Chang Jun, as his direct senior, was responsible for guiding him to familiarize himself with campus life. They also joined the laboratory together.
For seven years, they were almost inseparable and spent seven spring, autumn, winter, and summer together!
Rage swirled in Shen Boyan’s heart like a storm. He had a modest, light smile on his face, but his eyes were dripping with poison.
“Isn’t it his fault that he likes you?”
Xia Shu’an quickly answered as if he already knew what he was going to say: “He likes me. If he’s at fault, that’s for his girlfriend to decide. As a junior who is taken care of by him, I have no position to criticize him.”
“Oh.” Shen Boyan smiled softly, with a trace of ridicule leaking from his throat. “So you enjoy his care?”
“Shen Boyan!”
After letting out an angry, low roar, Xia Shu’an immediately restrained his breath. He put his hands under the table, clenched his fists hard, and said silently in his heart: Don’t be impatient, don’t get angry, be calm.
Follow him and coax him. Shen Boyan is currently in a violent state and is being quite unreasonable. Just treat it like you’re fighting a game’s boss.
After reorganizing his mind, Xia Shu’an looked at Shen Boyan with soft eyes, and his tone was obviously flattering: “I didn’t say that. He will apply for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences next semester. When he leaves, we will naturally stop contacting each other. Isn’t this result good for both of us?”
“He’s not important anyway.”
Shen Boyan slowly chewed the meat in his mouth. He stared at the corners of the young man’s eyes that were red from suppressing his emotions and the bright crimson color on his fair cheeks from suppressing his anger.
If the people who can make him have such strong emotions are not important, then what kind of people are important?
After completely swallowing the food in his mouth, he slowly said, “It doesn’t take half a year. I can make him disappear from our sight now.”
“Shen Boyan!” Xia Shu’an shouted unbearably, “You’re destroying someone’s future!”
“Chang Jun is just an ordinary person. Any careless decision you make may cause an irreparable blow to his life!”
“Oh, so what, can’t I?”
“Of course not!”
Xia Shu’an looked at the man opposite with an incredulous expression: “Do you know what you’re talking about? You also climbed to this position step by step from an ordinary person; don’t you have any compassion in your heart?”
Shen Boyan’s face was expressionless. “Why are you so agitated? I did the same to the Gu family, but I didn’t see you get so worked up.”
“That’s because you have a competitive relationship with them. The business world is like a battlefield. You all rely on your own abilities. But Chang Jun is just an ordinary person. He has not provoked you.”
Shen Boyan suddenly stood up and spoke in a high tone: “Didn’t he offend me? If he likes you, he offends me. Since he dares to like you, he must bear the consequences!”
Xia Shu’an broke down and shouted, “Is it wrong to like someone? He won’t even confess to me!”
Just as in his last life, they would drift out of contact after he left school half a year later, and this person named Chang Jun would be completely out of his life!
Shen Boyan’s eyes flashed with a cold light: “Let me tell you, Xia Shu’an, he likes you and covets you. That’s his crime, and he should pay the price for it.”
“The more you beg for him, the more I want to punish him.”
“Shen Boyan, you are simply unreasonable!” ·
“Oh, that’s good. Now that you know I’m unreasonable, it’s all the more reason to spoil me.”
“Go to hell!”
Xia Shu’an couldn’t bear it anymore. He was afraid that he would say more words that would irritate Shen Boyan in a fit of anger, so he grabbed the mobile phone on the table and prepared to go out.
“Where are you going?”
“It’s none of your business!”
Shen Boyan stepped forward and stopped the angry Xia Shu’an: “Come back!”
“You can’t go anywhere tonight!”
Old and new hatred surged into his heart, and a tight string in Xia Shu’an’s brain snapped. His head was confused and completely irrational, and his pupils were red. He forcefully pushed Shen Boyan away: “Get out of my way, Shen Boyan; get the f*ck out of my way!”
“Where are you going this late at night?”
“It’s none of your business where I go!”
Seeing that Shen Boyan was still motionless, Xia Shu’an simply began to push him away violently. During the movement, his fingers scraped across his arm muscles under the soft garment.
“Okay.” Shen Boyan gritted his teeth: “You fought with me for that person. You two have such a good relationship. Maybe you also enjoy his secret love and care?”
Xia Shu’an was so angry that stars appeared in front of his eyes: “Shen Boyan, you are crazy. You’re making trouble out of nothing!”
“You haven’t seen my worst!”
Shen Boyan was also angry. He resisted Xia Shu’an, holding him over his shoulder and heading upstairs.
“Let me go!”
“Sir, sir…”
Xia Shu’an kicked and punched him with his hands and feet; however, his force was just like being bitten by a kitten in Shen Boyan’s eyes. Shen Boyan carried the person upstairs and threw him onto the sofa. Xia Shu’an instantly jumped up and pounced hard on Shen Boyan.
“Damn it, Shen Boyan, do you want to imprison me again? Just go to hell and die!”
“Imprisonment? Okay, that’s a good idea.” The man grinned.
Xia Shu’an no longer wants to be calm, obedient, and well-behaved. All he wanted now was to beat him as hard as he had done all his life.
Before Xia Shu’an met Shen Boyan, he had never done anything violent with anyone in his life. After meeting Shen Boyan, he would commit one or two acts of violence every year or every few months. He is now considered to be quite experienced and specializes in hitting Shen Boyan’s painful areas.
Shen Boyan thought he was just paying lip service at first, until he was hammered hard in the stomach. He then grabbed Xia Shu’an’s hands: “Are you for real?”
Xia Shu’an’s eyes sparkled. “Or else?”
“Good, good.” Shen Boyan laughed angrily, and he growled: “Since you are serious about it, I won’t be polite either.”
His arms, which were much stronger than Xia Shu’an’s, locked Xia Shu’an’s hands hard. Under the tight force, his muscles could almost be seen through the fabric of his clothes.
Seeing that he was trying to throw him onto the bed again, Xia Shu’an quickly pushed his knee into his stomach, but Xia Shu’an’s lack of exercise and his body’s imbalanced condition made that force obviously soft and feeble.
With a bang, he was thrown heavily onto the bed. Shen Boyan covered him from top to bottom. He grabbed Xia Shu’an’s wrists with one hand, clasped his legs, and lowered his head to kiss his face.
Xia Shu’an struggled wildly, as if determined to pledge his life, and when he couldn’t escape, he bit the flesh on his mouth and chin hard. Shen Boyan’s face was covered with teeth marks, and the faint smell of blood in the air stimulated his brain nerves. He forcefully pried open Xia Shu’an’s mouth and stuck his tongue in—
“F*ck!”
Shen Boyan retracted his tongue with a hiss, wiped his lips, and saw the blood on his palm. “Xia Shu’an, are you a dog?”
Xia Shu’an’s pupils were surprisingly bright. He looked at him and said word by word, “If I’m a dog, then what are you?”
Shen Boyan chuckled, lowered his head, and whispered a word into Xia Shu’an’s ear. Xia Shu’an’s eyes suddenly widened, a few veins popped on his forehead, and he shouted, “Shen Boyan, go to hell!”
“Okay, let’s see if you have this ability!”
……
Outside the door, Aunt Qiao was spinning worriedly, her heart pounding. As a servant, her professional ethics dictated that she should keep this matter secret, but Mr. Xia was not in good health, and she was really worried that he would get hurt.
She put her ear against the door and vaguely heard something falling to the ground. Her heart was even more startled.
She knocked the door hard: “Sir, sir!!”
You can’t hit Mr. Xia! !
She had no hope at first, but after knocking on the door twice, the door opened with a click. As soon as it was opened, Aunt Qiao’s jaw dropped in surprise.
Mr. Shen was disheveled, and his hair was all messy, as if he had been scratched and pulled. The most terrifying thing was that there were bite marks on his face, neck, and even the shoulders covered by his top, as if he had been gnawed by a dog.
“Sir……”
Shen Boyan’s pupils were bloodshot, and he said expressionlessly, “Go get the medicine kit.”
“Yes, yes.”
Aunt Qiao immediately brought the medicine kit over. The room was a mess, and porcelain shards were spread all over the place. Xia Shu’an was sitting on the sofa. His feet were bare, his hair was hanging down, and his clothes were still neatly intact, but a circle of fingerprints was exposed on his ankle, hanging from the sofa.
“Mr. Xia.”
Xia Shu’an raised his head in silence, and Aunt Qiao was relieved when she saw his face. Fortunately, except for a few bruises on the mouth, there was nothing serious elsewhere.
“I’ll give you medicine.” Aunt Qiao carefully swept away the porcelain pieces before sitting down and giving Xia Shu’an medicine.
Shen Boyan stood on the side. Seeing the blood stains on the corners of Xia Shu’an’s mouth when he raised his head, his heart was once again irritable, and his body was filled with hot blood. He circled around the room for a while and suddenly walked towards the bathroom.
Aunt Qiao called to him: “Sir, you also need to apply medicine.”
Shen Boyan didn’t turn his head back and left a sentence in a hoarse voice: “I’m going to the bathroom first. You properly medicate him; don’t miss a single place!”
“Ah, yes!”
A flash of ridicule flashed in Xia Shu’an’s eyes, and he turned away expressionlessly.
