23. Morning Reading1Raw 早读(zǎo dú); Morning reading, either silently or aloud. Can also means morning self-study. In School and a Gift For Big Brother
—
Nevertheless, after Shen Ran ran back to the room, he immediately locked the door and dragged the sofa against the back of the door.
On second thought, Min Xingchuan was not a violent madman, and it was not necessary for him to do this.
But he was really frightened just now, and he still didn’t know how Min Xingchuan would clean him up tomorrow.
At this moment, he(MX) probably have a thought of killing himself(SR) ba?
Shen Ran thought too much, because Min Xingchuan simply had no time to think about cleaning him up at the moment.
Just the second after Shen Ran rushed out of the door, Min Xingchuan’s whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, and an uncontrollable retching came out of his stomach.
He had experienced this symptom many times before, and every time this symptom appeared on his body, he would recalled the unbearable picture he saw as a child in his mind.
He also longs to be in close contact with people, but he can’t, he face his own problems squarely, this was his own mental illness.
Shen Ran didn’t know, he also didn’t tell him, that was why he keep embarrassing him in front of everyone again and again.
There were times when he hid in a public toilet cubicle and nearly passed out.
Maybe it was time for him to talked to Shen Ran, this matter was out of his control, and maybe it won’t get better in the next few years.
He had threatened Shen Ran many times because of this incident, telling him to divorce if he did this again.
But he also knew in his heart that Shen Ran couldn’t be blamed for this. Since he married him, he had the responsibility to fulfill his husband’s obligations, but he really couldn’t, he couldn’t do it.
So even if he threatened Shen Ran so many times, he never really took him to get a divorce.
This time the situation was much better than the previous several times, after all, he didn’t make a fool of himself in front of everyone’s eyes.
If, like last time, he came to kiss him openly at the banquet, he would still leave the house full of relatives and friends and leave quickly to spend a dozens of minutes in his embarrassing state alone.
After this course of event slowly passed, Min Xingchuan finally got up, took off his sweaty clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Last time the psychiatrist had said to him, tried to desensitize if he can.
But his symptoms were too serious, maybe he will not be able to have a too close contact in a short time.
Like this time he had such a big reaction after a kiss, it was also the first time the doctor saw.
Probably a little tired from the torment, Min Xingchuan slept soundly at night, and it was rare for him to get up late the next day.
It was half past seven when he went downstairs for breakfast, but he didn’t see Shen Ran.
He asked casually, “Where’s Shen Ran?”
The Old Butler replied, “Little Young Master Shen said that there is morning reading at school in the morning, and he ran away without having breakfast. He said that if he was late, he would not be able to catch the morning bus.”
Min Xingchuan: ……
When did the third year of H University arrange a morning reading?2Cough, in China normally only elementary, middle school and high school that had morning reading. So, SR’s excuse….. I think SR forget that he was not in high school anymore in this world *cry laugh*
He was holding the spoon in his hand, his knuckles were white, and he didn’t know what to say.
Is he hiding from him because of what happened last night?
In the past, he was doing it with great fanfare and he also didn’t see any guilt in him. What happened today?
After breakfast, Min Xingchuan went to work in the company.
Shen Ran was trembling in fright for the whole class, until at noon, when Min Xingchuan didn’t call to question him, only then he was relieved a little.
At noon, he pulled Chi Haoyu and Qi Xiaoyang into a group chat and told them that he would not go to Xinran in the afternoon, and that he would leave everything to them, he was going to pick up Shen Jue at the airport.
Qi Xiaoyang weakly sent him a private chat: Boss, can you help me… ask the Film Emperor for an autographed photo.
Only then did Shen Ran know that Shen Jue was Qi Xiaoyang’s idol.
The feeling of being blocked by his own idol, probably not good ba?
Shen Ran replied with an OK emoji, and saw Ruan Letian’s call coming in. Shen Ran answered the phone as he walked out, but saw Qin Ke waiting outside the classroom, probably waiting for Qi Xiaoyang.
Shen Ran pretended not to see him, lowered his head and went to the north gate of H University, just in time to see Ruan Letian waving at him while wearing a mask.
He immediately got into the car, took out the paintings in his schoolbag, and stuff it to Ruan Letian, saying, “Here, for you, remember to give it to my brother.”
When Ruan Letian saw the painting, he immediately said, “Nope. This is what you bought, you should be the one who gave him!”
Shen Ran said, “If you want to be my sister-in-law, just give him, if you don’t want to, then forget it.”
Even Ruan Letian was wearing a mask, he could see that his face was blushing, the redness practically spread to his neck.
He stiffened his neck3Raw 梗着脖颈(gěngzhe bó jǐng) or 梗着脖子(Gěngzhe bózi); stiffened one’s neck up. It mainly means expressing dissatisfaction, etc. For example: he stiffened his neck and said angrily “I am dissatisfied”. But I don’t think RL here dissatisfied with what SR said, it mainly because he was so embarrassed that he stubbornly doesn’t want to admit his feeling and said “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Shen Ran said, “You are still embarrassed to admit it? My brother is not Min Xingchuan, he is very easy to woo. My dad wanted him to marry a long time ago. If you still don’t start to act, later he find a beautiful woman in the circle, you couldn’t even find a place to cry.”
Ruan Letian cleared his throat, and after a long time he murmured, “You…do you think…big brother, he…will he like me?”
Shen Ran said, “Yes! My brother likes me so much, and he will definitely like you too.”
Ruan Letian said: “This is different! What Brother Shen Jue have towards you is brotherly love, how can you compare like this.”
Shen Ran leaned over to look at him, and said speechlessly: “Xiao Tian, aren’t you a little chili pepper in the music world? You scolded your opponent and black fans4Raw 怼黑粉骂对家(Duì hēi fěn mà duì jiā); So, google translate gave me scolding black fans. I look up this world on google and baidu, but I can find the specific meaning for this. What pop up after searching is news about celebrities and their black fans lol, hand-tears the scumbag boss and made your agent obey and follow you meekly.. Why did you become a coward when it come to my brother?”
Ruan Letian had a headache and said, “We as boys, should be more reserved.”
Shen Ran said: “Then are you sure you don’t want it? If you don’t want it then I just keep…”
Ruan Letian, who was in the front seat, suddenly snatched it back and said, “Want want want want, I originally wanted to take it and give it to Brother Shen Jue! Five million, right? I’ll transfer it to you another day.”
Shen Ran did not refused, Ruan Letian would definitely not take one of his paintings for nothing, and five million was not a small amount.
The two parked the car and went to the airport to pick up the man together.
This time Shen Jue came back, he did not notify the fans to pick up at the airport. Shen Ran thought it would not be too crowded this time, but who knew that the news of Shen Jue returning to H City was still leaked out.
A group of fans surrounded the airport exit, Shen Ran and Ruan Letian squeezed in for a long time before they got in.
In his pocket, his phone vibrated, and Shen Ran took it out to take a look.
Shen Jue asked them to go directly to the parking lot to wait for him. In this situation, Shen Jue naturally had a way to escape.
After all, he has been popular for more than ten years, and what kind of scene has he never seen.
Shen Ran and Ruan Letian went to the parking lot together, and after waiting for a while, they saw Shen Jue walking over from the entrance in a shirt and trousers without any coverage.
The fully armed Ruan Letian: ? ? ?
He was also hiding from the paparazzi, why Brother Shen Jue’s ability at hiding from the paparazzi was so good?
Shen Ran waved at Shen Jue, and Shen Jue came forward and gave his younger brother a big hug.
Ruan Letian also took off his mask and stepped forward to say hello: “Big brother.”
Shen Jue snapped his fingers at Ruan Letian, stepped forward to give him a hug, and said, “Xiaotian has grown taller!”
As he said that, he rubbed the top of his head, and smooth down the tufts hair that was sticking up.
Ruan Letian blushed, and he couldn’t even say a word.
Shen Ran only thought that Ruan Letian was too timid, although he(SR) look down on Shen Ran(original owner) for pestering Min Xingchuan like this, at least he was someone who dared to love and hate.
On contrary, Shen Jue was no different. He took the car key out of Ruan Letian’s hand and said, “I’ll drive, you two sit in the back.”
So Shen Jue’s long legs stepped into the car and sat in the driver’s seat.
Shen Ran pulled Ruan Letian into the car, but he did not sit in the back seat with Ruan Letian.
Instead, he pushed Ruan Letian into the passenger seat with one hand and sat in the back by himself.
As the car hit the high speed, Shen Ran gave Ruan Letian a meaningful glance.
Ruan Letian cleared his throat and asked, “Big brother, you must have a hard time making this movie?”
This film was a literary and artistic film with a realistic theme, it tells the poignant love story of the educated youth who went to the countryside.
Needless to say, it was another literary film again.
But as long as Shen Jue was there, the box office of literary films can also be guaranteed.
Shen Jue replied while driving: “Still okay, it’s much better than when filming “Tiger Roar”. At least there is a toilet and a river for bathing.”
Shen Ran: Pfft…
Shen Jue glanced at his younger brother in the rearview mirror, his eyes full of doting, and said, “Stinky boy, what are you laughing at?”
Shen Ran smiled and said, “Brother, you have a good life but don’t want to live it, why do you have to go to that kind of place to suffer? Is it so fun to make a movie?”
Shen Jue’s eyes showed a look of longing, and said, “It’s fun, you little boy, what do you know?”
Shen Ran knew that his eldest brother was obsessed with acting, and as long as he was allowed to film, he would enjoy it without eating or drinking.
In the early years, he took a fancy to a good script, but there’s no screenwriter nor anything. He paid for the people and the director, just to make a film from the script.
Fortunately, this movie did not betrayed him, and it help him won the first Film Emperor.
Shen Ran looked at his handsome big brother with a smile, and said, “Then you can’t just film movies ah! You have to have something else in your life.”
Shen Jue smiled and said, “Who said there is nothing else in my life? Isn’t there still my Ah Ran?”
Shen Ran’s heart warmth for a while, but Shen Jue said again: “By the way, didn’t Ah Ran said that he has a birthday present for his big brother? Where is it? Show it to me.”
Shen Ran pretended to be mysterious: “Didn’t I already show it to big brother?”
Shen Jue looked confused and asked, “Have I seen it? Where is it?”
Shen Ran stick out his lips at Ruan Letian with a mysterious face, and said, “Isn’t he sitting here.”
Shen Jue frowned and asked, “Xiao Tian?”
After saying that, Shen Jue smiled and said, “You’re joking, how can you give Xiao Tian to brother.”
Ruan Letian started to panic, and said nervously, “Ran Ran, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Shen Ran said nothing more as to not over do it.
The matter of Ruan Letian likes his brother, Shen Ran can see it at a glance.
He secretly watched his brother’s reaction. After all, Shen Jue was someone who had seen the big world. Although he had never been in a relationship, he had played many couples on screen, so he naturally knew what was going on here.
This movie nerd5Raw 戏痴( xì chī); lit. movie/drama idiot(refer to someone obsessed with filming). The 痴( chī) can also means nerd, so I choose to use Movie Nerd. was 30 years old and has never been in a relationship before, so he can be regarded as a clear stream6Raw 清流( qīngliú); clear stream. It refers to a famous scholar-bureaucrat or a chaste and virtuous woman. In modern times, it also refers to a person or thing with distinctive charm. among the movie stars.
Shen Ran was secretly having fun, thinking that there might be a way.
So he then said to Ruan Letian: “Xiao Tian, don’t you have a birthday present for my brother? Take it out quickly!”
Ruan Letian belatedly took out the painting, and said, “Well… big brother, happy birthday.”
Shen Jue drove the car seriously and said, “Xiao Tian is so attentive? Much better than Ah Ran, he never thought about his big brother’s birthday. What did Xiao Tian give me?”
Ruan Letian cleared his throat and said, “The…the other day I heard that there was a work by Wang Xizhi at Mr. Luo’s charity auction, so… so I took Ran Ran together to bought it and gave it to big brother as a birthday present. ”
Shen Jue nodded and said, “Really? Then I’ll take a good look when I go back!”
Shen Ran beat the drum behind them and said, “Big brother, take a good look at the birthday present I gave you, too!”
