Chapter 96.3

Face-slapping the childhood sweetheart (4.3)

Editor: Nadralexe

That night, the room was dark, and the only source of light was from a streetlight outside the window. Because of this, Ye Shaoyun felt even more outrageous. In this darkness, he met Zhou Xu’s eyes and felt that Zhou Xu changed. He became so beautiful, beautiful to the point that Ye Shaoyun was willing to do anything for him.

Zhou Xu smiled and said again, “Uncle, do you want me?”

His last bit of self-control disappeared. Ye Shaoyun pressed on Zhou Xu and kissed him.

At first, it was madness, then enjoyment. Like all first kisses in this world, Zhou Xu also sank in with this kiss.

But just as he was about to sink into the kiss, Ye Shaoyun suddenly pushed him away. Ye Shaoyun breathed heavily beside the bed for a few seconds and quickly ran out of the room.

Zhou Xu, however, started laughing in the dark room. Looks like his uncle is fighting with inner desires, but how long will that take?

Zhou Xu smiled. He couldn’t wait to see the results.

As he thought about it, Zhou Xu changed his mind. He decided to go add some more fuel to the first, and possibly, tonight would be the night they intertwine together.

Ye Shaoyun went to the bathroom alone, washing his face over and over again with cold water. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and wanted to slap himself twice.

How could he do this to his nephew? His nephew was so precious to him that he wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt him, yet now it was him that had done this.

Ye Shaoyun couldn’t even face Zhou Xu outside. If Zhou Xu would be depressed because of this, he would rather suicide.

Leaning his head back onto the chair, Ye Shaoyun closed his eyes, scolding himself in his mind like crazy. To his surprise, when he reopened his eyes, Zhou Xu was leaning against the bathroom door with his arms crossed.

Seeing that Ye Shaoyun was looking at him, Zhou Xu opened the lights with a “pop” and asked, “Uncle, what’s the matter?”

Ye Shaoyun said hesitantly, “Nothing.”

Zhou Xu took a few steps forward and said right next to Ye Shaoyun’s face, “Uncle, do you love me?”

“What... what are you talking about? Xiao Xu, forget everything that happened just now. Uncle is very sorry.”

Zhou Xu shook his head and leaned even closer to Ye Shaoyun, “I don’t want to, because I like your kiss.”

Ye Shaoyun: “...”

This time, Zhou Xu cornered Ye Shaoyun in the bathroom. Between the sink and his body, they could feel each other’s breathing. Zhou Xu said, “Uncle, let’s make... ”

Ye Shaoyun’s body seemed to have gotten the order, and he stood upright, slightly opening his legs apart.

That part of his body hit Zhou Xu. Zhou Xu smiled and grabbed onto it, “Uncle, you want it too, don’t you?”

Ye Shaoyun wanted to step back, but behind him was the sink, leaving him with no place to go but slightly pushing on Zhou Xu. He said, “Zhou Xu, stop fooling around.”

Zhou Xu got even closer. Holding that part that’s sticking out from Ye Shaoyun’s body, Zhou Xu’s face was right next to Ye Shaoyun’s and said, “Uncle, I have been thinking about you&#k2026; for a very long time.”

Ye Shaoyun looked up; he couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Xiao Xu, you need to calm yourself down.”

“I can’t. Uncle, we either have sex or... have sex.”

That night, Ye Shaoyun and Zhou Xu didn’t, but Ye Shaoyun almost got driven mad, because he found out that Zhou Xu loved him, and he loved Zhou Xu. It was just that he was still reluctant to do it on Zhou Xu.

What he didn’t know was that Zhou Xu also wanted to.

The next day, Ye Shaoyun hastily packed some belongings and moved into the company’s dorms.

Zhou Xu acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to attend school as usual. As for meals, Ye Shaoyun would prepare them for him when he wasn’t around, putting the food in an insulation box, and Ye Shaoyun himself would not show up no matter what.

With that, Ye Shaoyun and Zhou Xu didn’t meet each other for a long time.

Ru Yu also found out about this; not because Zhou Xu or Ye Shaoyun told him, but he guessed it himself.

Zhou Xu didn’t change much, but Ye Shaoyun had been acting weird. When he called Ye Shaoyun, he noticed that Ye Shaoyun tended to be unfocused, and when he asked about Zhou Xu, Ye Shaoyun would say that he didn’t know. Before, when he called, Ye Shaoyun would know everything that Zhou Xu had done.

After he guessed so, Ru Yu tried to ask around some more, and Ye Shaoyun vaguely said that he hadn’t been at home a lot recently. With that, Ru Yu solidified his guess.

A month later, during the third and final mock exam, Zhou Xu still got first place, yet Ru Yu dropped out of the top ten.

He called Ye Shaoyun again, “Hello, is it Uncle Ye?”

“Yeah, do you have something to tell me?”

“Humm... I messed up on the test again. I didn’t even get top ten this time, and Xiao Xu is still number one. I think my mood is not great. Uncle Ye, can we chat for a while in person? I really need some guidance and comfort.”

Ye Shaoyun thought about it and decided that he should step up and help, so he answered, “Sure.”

This time, they met at a normal restaurant with an excellent environment.

Wearing a clean, new suit, Ye Shaoyun’s outline became even more clear. Although his attitude was still on the colder side, Ru Yu still found him to be handsome when he smiled. He hoped that some of the smiles can be shared with him and not just with Zhou Xu.

“Uncle ye, it’s been a while, and you look even more handsome,” said Ru Yu.

No matter how one heard it, it seemed not to be something that a kid would say. Ye Shaoyun replied briefly, “Ye Shaoyun, don’t pretend, just be yourself here.”

It took a while for Ru Yu to understand what Ye Shaoyun meant, and he said while smiling brightly, “Ok, Uncle Ye, then I can be more relaxed when with you.”

“Yeah.

“Order whatever you want.” Ye Shaoyun said as he handed Ru Yu the menu.

When Ru Yu took the menu, he deliberately rubbed against Ye Shaoyun’s hand, and Ye Shaoyun didn’t have much of a reaction, taking his hand back after handing over the menu, without thinking that Ru Yu had any other meaning with this.

Ru Yu looked down, not very focused on the menu items.

To be honest, Ru Yu was indeed beautiful, the type that suits men and women. He had skin white as snow, red lips, white teeth, and a pair of pretty eyes. When he smiled, his eyes would almost form a line, adding a touch of cuteness on him out of nowhere.

This appearance was very popular, among students and adults alike. Ru Yu had gotten over a hundred confessions, yet he stubbornly only liked Ye Shaoyun.

Ru Yu himself didn’t even know why, just that now they met again, he still loved him. Even when he was five years old, he also loved him, just that he didn’t understand the feeling back then.

Recalling such a memory, if Ru Yu knew that he wouldn’t be able to see Ye Shaoyun again for over a decade, he wouldn’t have left no matter what.

Ye Shaoyun knew that Zhou Xu got first place, so he was happy in his heart but could show that on his face now that Ru Yu was here. After all, Ru Yu was the one that slipped in test scores.

Ru Yu randomly picked a few dishes, the kind that was simple and not oily. Ye Shaoyun was very satisfied and added another dish. The two of them started eating after that.

“Uncle Ye, I’m worried. What if I won’t be able to get into any colleges?” Ru Yu didn’t forget what he was here for, so he mentioned his scores first.

Ye Shaoyun also comforted, “It’s just a mock exam, not the real one. Don’t be bothered by it. ”

“But, Uncle Ye, you know that I’m not the Yang Family’s actual son. They will only support me if I get better grades. If not, they won’t even give me any money for college.”

“They are kind people and won’t do that to you. Even if they didn’t, I can pay for you, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Really? Thank you, Uncle Ye.” Ru Yu said happily.

“Hmm... You’re welcome.”

Ru Yu seemed to be very happy. He ate as he said, “Uncle Ye, I’m so happy being with you. Even things as simple as eating seem to be very enjoyable.”

Ye Shaoyun felt more and more uncomfortable as he heard more. He wasn’t used to people getting so close to him, except for Zhou Xu, of course.

“Ru Yu, when you go to college, you will meet more people and more friends. Your life will eventually get better.”

“But without you, I feel like my life is meaningless.” Ru Yu suddenly got serious.

Ye Shaoyun thought about it and answered, “If you think I’m like a relative of yours, I’ll be very glad, but if you have some intentions other than that, I guess this might be the last time we’ll meet. ”

Ye Shaoyun remembered the “confession” that Zhou Xu mentioned last time and that Ru Yu was indeed acting weird, so Ye Shaoyun wanted to stop whatever Ru Yu might be thinking.

“Uncle Ye, I don’t have any other intentions. What do you mean by that?” Ru Yu tilted his head as if didn’t know what’s going on.

Although Ru Yu claimed so, Ye Shaoyun still kept a note to himself. Previously, he wouldn’t think that way, but now he had to be responsible to Zhou Xu, in every way possible.

Ye Shaoyun even decided that he would rather not meet Ru Yu again in the future, knowing that Zhou Xu and Ru Yu wouldn’t get along well.

“Nothing.” Ye Shaoyun said to Ru Yu.

Ru Yu continued to eat, but when he lowered his head, a glim of hatred flashed across his eyes. This hatred was very different from his usual appearance, almost making him an entirely different person.

When they parted that day, Ru Yu looked hopefully at Ye Shaoyun and said, “Uncle Ye, thank you. I’m much better now, and I also hope that I will do well on the college entrance exam. ”

“Yeah.”

“See you later, Uncle Ye.” As he said so, Ru Yu stepped forward and hugged Ye Shaoyun, but it was just a normal hug, a hug between friends.

Ye Shaoyun patted his back and said, “Work hard.”

The next day, Ru Yu sat next to Zhou Xu again. He smiled as he said to Zhou Xu, “Zhou Xu, I met your uncle yesterday.”

“Oh.”

“He said he will support me to go to college, and if I don’t have the money, he will pay for me.”

Zhou Xu glanced and said, “Yeah, he’s a very nice person. I’m a very nice person too, so if you tell me that you can’t pay for college, I’ll pay for you too. Because he and I both have money. We earned it. ”

Ru Yu’s smile on his face froze because he honestly was broke. His living expenses were given by Yang Lizheng’s parents, yet Zhou Xu already had two concerts of his own along with occasional appearances on TV. His appearance fee was more than ten thousand yuan already.

At first, Ru Yu wanted to provoke Zhou Xu a bit, but now he was the one mad. He returned to his seat and stayed quiet.

Yang Lizheng, who was beside Ru Yu said coldly, “My parents won’t give you money to go to college? What a joke.”

Ru Yu didn’t bother to talk to Yang Lizheng and started reading by himself.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Yang Lizheng also stopped. He was too lazy to care about Ru Yu, especially about money and properties, but if Ru Yu was really going to harm his parents, Yang Lizheng won’t let that go easily. He wouldn’t mind this ending up being a disaster.

Although on the surface, Zhou Xu seemed calm, in his heart, he already scolded Ye Shaoyun many times. How dare he go meet Ru Yu after not seeing me for such a long time?

Zhou Xu glanced at the calendar next to him and smiled. Very well, there were still around fifteen more days before the college entrance exam. He would be able to solve this problem before that.

Ru Yu was much quieter after that, focusing on studying for the exam. Not only was it for Zhou Xu and Ye Shaoyun, but also for Yang Lizheng’s parents. He was still hoping one day that he could take over Yang Family’s company.

As for Yang Lizheng, he never cared. So Ru Yu became even wilder, acting flighty, flattering Yang Lizheng’s parents, pretending to be very humble, and looking at how Yang Lizheng was driven further away from his parents.

Zhou Xu still didn’t rush Ye Shaoyun. After that kiss, Ye Shaoyun’s mental status must have changed, but Zhou Xu thought that he had to give Ye Shaoyun an excuse, either way, he won’t feel guilty. On the day before the college entrance exam, Zhou Xu didn’t go to school but waited at home.

As Ye Shaoyun sneaked into the house, Zhou Xu followed behind and then yelled loudly, “Ha! ”

Frightened, Ye Shaoyun dropped all the groceries that he just bought.

Zhou Xu smiled and said, “I finally got you, uncle.”

Ye Shaoyun looked at Zhou Xu speechlessly, “How come you are still so childish at this age?”

“Then let’s cut the childishness here. Uncle, do you love me? Do you want to have sex? If you don’t love me and you don’t want to have sex, then I won’t attend tomorrow’s exam.”
