Reconciliation
“Fuck you Lu Shen!” A roar came from outside the bathroom, resounding throughout the room. “I did say you can bite but do you have to bite me on the collarbone! You are really a pervert!”
Lu Shen leaned against the bathroom wall and laughed a few times, and replied through the door. “Didn’t you let me pick where I wanted to bite?”
There were several knocks on the door in an instant. “Come out, and let me smack you.”
“I’m already naked, but you can come in nonetheless.” Lu Shen said.
“Shameless thing.” Bian Shengjian gritted his teeth and cursed, then turned around and took a closer look at the teeth marks in the mirror.
Although his bite was hard, he had to say that Lu Shen’s teeth were quite neat, and the teeth marks from the bite look very complete, especially the two dot marks left by his two canine teeth, which were particularly obvious…
Bian Shengjian tugged at the collar, covered the teeth marks with his clothes with a dark face.
I don’t know if the fucker bit me with a vengeful meaning, but it seems that this mark will not go away in three to five days. If someone accidentally sees it……..
Bian Shengjian shivered inexplicably, changed his clothes and slumped on the bed.
There was the sound of water running in the bathroom.
He listened to the sound of it and gradually closed his eyes. To be honest, he had experienced too many things and received too many shocks today. His whole spirit had reached a threshold of being overloaded, and he didn’t even know when he fell asleep.
Lu Shen turned off the shower, wiped his face and neck with a bath towel, opened the door and walked out. After seeing Shengjian’s peaceful sleeping face in front, his figure paused, then his steps immediately became silent.
Bian Shengjian was lying on the bed and fell asleep with his eyes closed, but his breathing was a little heavy, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed a little restless in his sleep.
Lu Shen walked up to him silently. The dark sheets made the skin of the person on the bed even fairer, looking like a piece of warm jade. But this was also a conclusion that could only be drawn provided that Bian Shengjian was asleep.
Lu Shen smiled softly, and couldn’t help but leaned over to stare at his sleeping face, with a strange look in his eyes unconsciously.
Want to get close to him, want to touch him, want to…eat him.
Lu Shen’s eyes flickered for a moment, and they stopped on Bian Shengjian’s pursed lips.
It looks moist and soft, just like the day I saw it.
“Master! The brown sugar water is ready! Shall I bring it in now?” There were several knocks on the door suddenly, which woke Bian Shengjian in an instant.
Lu Shen was immediately shocked, and took advantage of that 0.1 second before Bian Shengjian could open his eyes, and quickly straightened up then took a step back. Unfortunately, because he had just come out of the bathroom with wet slippers, the big movement successfully made his feet slip, and he fell firmly against the edge of the bed. His knee hit the bed frame, making a dull, painful sound.
“Ah!” Bian Shengjian was startled as soon as he opened his eyes. After rubbing them, he saw Lu Shen sitting on the ground with a pained face, trying to stand up with his hands on the ground.
“Damn, why did you fall?” Bian Shengjian quickly jumped off the bed and reached out to help him, asking nervously, “Are you alright? Where did you fall?”
”……I’m fine. Lu Shen stretched out his hands to cover his knees, grabbed Bian Shengjian’s hand and stood up from the ground with difficulty. “The ground is a little slippery.”
“This ground should have just been moped, how could there be water?” Bian Shengjian squatted down with a frown, and rolled up Lu Shen’s trousers regardless of him saying no.
Sure enough, he saw a bruise on his knee, which seemed to be knocked badly. “Why are you so careless?”
“Haha.” Lu Shen laughed twice dryly but did not speak.
He can’t say that he fell because he was almost caught watching you sleep, right? That would be too embarrassing.
“It’s really nothing.” Lu Shen rolled the trousers down “Just rub some Wanhua Oil.”
“Young Master, shall I come in?” The door was knocked twice again, “What happened?”
“It’s okay, Aunt Wang, come in.” Bian Shengjian sighed.
Aunt Wang pushed the door in with brown sugar water, put the bowl on the table and said, “Hurry up, drink this brown sugar water while it’s hot, and I’ll call you again when the meal is ready…..”
“Understood, thank you, auntie.” Bian Shengjian nodded, watched her go out and closed the door, walked to the table, picked up the hot bowl, stirred it twice with a spoon, and waved at Lu Shen.
“Come here.”
“Can I not drink this stuff?” Lu Shen looked down at the bowl of dark brown liquid, and said with some disgust.
“Drink it as soon as you are told, why is there so much nonsense?” Bian Shengjian stuffed the spoon into his hand, “Hurry up, drink it while it’s hot, or do you want me to feed you?”
“That’s not impossible.” Lu Shen immediately put down the spoon and looked at him.
“Drink.” Bian Shengjian pointed at him, “Don’t force me to beat you.”
Lu Shen sighed, sat down, picked up the bowl and drank slowly. The first sip made him squint his eyes, also added with the blessing of a large pile of red dates. He suspected if he could shed two jin of nosebleed on the spot if he poured out this big bowl.
“Eat the red dates too, don’t waste them.” Bian Shengjian supervised him, “Hurry up.”
“I don’t want to eat it,” Lu Shen put down the spoon, covered his mouth with his hand and hiccupped. His pale face became a little rosy after being steamed by the steaming brown sugar water. Bian Shengjian was very satisfied with this, but he still insisted on picking up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of red dates and thrust it near his mouth.
“Eat.”
Lu Shen reluctantly opened his mouth. “Ah.”
“You’re very annoying.” Bian Shengjian sighed, and fed a spoonful of red dates into his mouth. “Let me tell you, I’ve never served anyone like this except you.”
“I’m so flattered.” Lu Shen smiled and took a mouthful of red dates, then blinked slightly at Bian Shengjian.
Bian Shengjian unhappily stuffed him with the remaining red dates in the bowl, and finally threw the bowl on the table after he was done. “Damn, I’m exhausted.”
Lu Shen chewed the sweet jujube in his mouth with some difficulty, and then swallowed it all before he said. “Give me a glass of water…..it was so bad.”
“Drink.” Bian Shengjian bent down and picked up an unopened bottle of water from the box at his feet and handed it to him. When Lu Shen unscrewed it and raised his head to take a few sips, he suddenly noticed a photo frame on the table from the corner of his eye. It looked like it should be a group photo of Bian Shengjian in Junior High School, with Li Fei, Tan Ming and another one. All four of them were wearing ski hats, holding ski poles and showing a silly but bright smile at the camera.
“When was that photo taken?” Lu Shen put down the water bottle and looked up at it. Unexpectedly, Bian Shengjian stretched out his hand and snapped the photo frame down.
“Tsk, don’t look at it.”
“Why can’t I, you don’t look that ugly.” Lu Shen smiled and lifted the photo frame to look over at it, and then said after a while. “I actually envy you.”
“Huh?” Bian Shengjian glanced at him, but he remained silent for a long time and still didn’t pick up the topic. “I’ll go down first, just wait for me here, you can wander around if you’re bored, but don’t rummage through my things .”
“Okay.” Lu Shen nodded.
Bian Shengjian went down to the first floor, and only saw Aunt Wang busying herself in the kitchen, then he paused before asking, “Auntie, where is my dad?”
“Ah?” Aunt Wang shook the water off her hands and looked at him, “I don’t know, Master should be in the study right now perhaps?”
“Thanks.” Bian Shengjian replied and climbed back to the second floor. He hesitated for a while looking at the closed study door, and then reached out and knocked lightly twice.
“Come in.” The person inside responded immediately, and then came the sound of flipping through the documents. “Who is it?”
“It’s me.” Bian Shengjian said as he pushed the door open and entered.
“Shengjian?” Seeing him, Bian Jianhua hurriedly put down the documents in his hand before standing up from the chair. “Are you hungry? I’ve asked Aunt Wang to cook quickly, and if there is something you like………..”
“I’m not hungry.” Bian Shengjian stared at the cracks in the floor, raised his head and said slowly, “Dad, I’m sorry.”
Bian Jianhua looked at him, not knowing how to react for a while, but his lips trembled slightly.
“Mother’s incident back then….” Bian Shengjian spoke with some difficulty, “I’m sorry.”
“Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?” Bian Jianhua slowly took off his glasses, and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes. “Did you go see your mother today?”
“Hmm.” Bian Shengjian’s throat was a little bitter, and he took two steps forward and suddenly hugged the man who was trying to suppress his emotions. “Dad, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
“Son…” Bian Jianhua froze for a moment before putting his hands on his back in a panic. “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s been so many years……. Dad was also at fault for that.”
Bian Shengjian didn’t speak, and closed his eyes to feel carefully.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had such close contact with his biological father. Since that incident, the relationship between them had been basically severed and there was no room for redemption. Saying that the relationship between them was father and son, it was better to say that it was more like between enemies.
Bian Shengjian felt warm water pooling inside his eye sockets, but he gritted his teeth and still didn’t let it flow out. There were enough tears and whatnot, what he needed now was not this.
“I’m sorry.” Bian Shengjian’s voice was very low, and he couldn’t say anything else except this sentence.
“My good son.” Bian Jianhua hugged him tightly, and before he could hold back, his eyes turned red. “I thought you would never forgive Dad in your life.”
“I……” Bian Shengjian closed his eyes, and it took a long time before he said, “I know it’s not your fault.”
“That’s good…that’s good!” Bian Jianhua’s voice became a little choked, who knew how long he had been waiting for this day, ever since his beloved wife left him, he felt that his world had collapsed. Coupled with the fact that his young son was traumatized, since then he had tried his best to reject him and stay away from him, and then the remaining half of the sky that supported him had also begun to crumble, and the only thing left for him to do was desperately put his energy into your work, and keep growing the power of the company in order to seek more benefits.
As long as he had money, even if his son would never forgive him in the future, he could leave him a large amount of inheritance to provide him with food and clothing for the rest of his life even after he dies. Only in this way would he only feel at ease when in heaven.
“You don’t know how hard Dad has been through these years…” Bian Jianhua endured and endured, but he still couldn’t hold back his tears as his shoulders trembled. “Don’t you know how worried Dad is for you? Dad is working so hard to make money now just for you. I’m afraid that if I let you suffer so much, I won’t have the face to go to your mother someday…”
“I know, Dad.” Bian Shengjian hugged him tightly, speaking with a nasally voice. “I know everything.”
Bian Jianhua patted him hard on the back twice before letting him go, turned around and took out two pieces of tissue to wipe away the tears on his face, and asked vaguely while wiping. “How come so much has changed since I sent you far away to study? Dad doesn’t even know you anymore.”
“Well, quite a lot has happened.” Bian Shengjian sniffed, “Let’s go back to being ordinary father and son, just like others.”
“Okay!” Bian Jianhua laughed, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes became wrinkled. “Actually, I never knew how to communicate with you……but thinking now, Dad can feel at ease even if he dies at this moment.”
“What are you talking about?” Bian Shengjian immediately interrupted him, and suddenly saw a few white hairs on Bian Jianhua’s forehead from the corner of his eye, and his heart felt a little sour: “The company…………Have you been busy recently?”
“Busy, very busy recently.” Bian Jianhua lowered his head and wiped his glasses and said, “Busy negotiating with the old men on the previous board of directors, it’s not a new circle……..forget about it.”
Bian Jianhua put one hand on Bian Shengjian’s shoulder, and said with earnest, “Son, don’t you plan to take over the company in the future?”
“No.” Bian Shengjian paused and shook his head, “I’m not interested in these at all.”
“Okay,” Bian Jianhua smiled helplessly, “It’s okay, Dad won’t force you to do things you don’t like, but you like music…..you still have to form some connections, I’m already helping you contact foreign countries. You can go abroad after you graduate from the third year of high school.”
“Dad.” Bian Shengjian looked at him with a very serious expression. “Can you let me choose my own life?”
“What?” Bian Jianhua stared at him blankly.
“I don’t want to go to any conservatory, and I don’t want to go abroad.” Bian Shengjian said, “I just want to choose the life I like. As for the music, I will try my best, but I’ll do it my own way.”
Bian Jianhua didn’t speak for a while.
“Dad,” Bian Shengjian said softly, “I want to live for myself from now on, is that okay?”
****
“Where will I sleep later?” Lu Shen looked up at him and asked.
“Guest room, otherwise where else?” Bian Shengjian said with a click of his tongue.
“Ah…” Lu Shen threw his head back on his bed, looking very disappointed.
“Get up, you shameless!” Bian Shengjian immediately stretched out his hand to grab him, “Get lost, go sleep next door.”
“But I was hurt because of you,” Lu Shen put on a pained face and held his chest. “Ah…my soul…will be torn apart..”
“Come on,” Bian Shengjian couldn’t help laughing, “Don’t pretend, I’m really not used to sleeping with other people.”
“Are you really so cruel?” Lu Shen blinked and looked at him, his eyes gliding to his collarbone covered by the pajamas: “It’s okay, anyway, we are already so familiar. We both even have the marks left by each other……”
“Get lost!” Bian Shengjian stared at him, “Can you stop talking about it so obscenely?”
“Really?” Lu Shen laughed, got up and stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar. “Hey Third brother, let me see it again……….”
“You pervert!” Bian Shengjian immediately grasped his collar, gritted his teeth and said, “Get out! Don’t touch me.”
“Only perverted to you.” Lu Shen held on to his collar and smiled flatteringly. “Young Bian~ just let me take a look, please.”
Sigh. Bian Shengjian stared at his two canine teeth and let go of his hand helplessly, “I give up.”
“I bit pretty well.” Lu Shen leaned closer and stared at the teeth marks. Looking at it again and again, his tone was quite proud, “It’s good, I’ll make another one again in two days.”
“In your dreams!” Bian Shengjian pulled his collar hard and kicked his ass. “Go sleep.”
“But I really want to sleep with you, anyway, your bed is so big.” Lu Shen seemed to be planning to argue with him till the end today. He rolled away at the last minute when he got to Bian Shengjian’s bed, and hugged a corner of the quilt and didn’t let go. “Just for one night, is it okay?”
Bian Shengjian stared at him for a long time, and finally sighed: “Fuck..alright, but just for one night.”
“Hm.” Lu Shen rubbed the quilt happily.
“I found that you are often so childish.” Bian Shengjian said with disgust, cleaned up the table and turned off the headlights, leaving only a dim yellow night light beside the bed.
“Go over there.” Bian Shengjian kicked Lu Shen condescendingly. “By the way, if you dare to rob me of my quilt at night, you will die.”
“I never rob quilts from anyone.” Lu Shen smiled and moved to the other side of the bed.
“Okay, shut up and go to sleep.” Bian Shengjian adjusted the position of the pillow and lay down.
“Don’t catch a cold.” Lu Shen propped up half of his body, and carefully tucked his side of the quilt.
“Hm.” Bian Shengjian replied, with a tired voice. “I’m very tired, and I have to visit my mother’s grave tomorrow……”
“Okay, go to sleep.” Lu Shen lay down again, and suddenly asked when Bian Shengjian’s consciousness was a little fuzzy. “By the way, the question I asked during daytime………”
“Hmm…… what?” Bian Shengjian’s voice was already filled with a strong sense of sleepiness.
“Will you still transfer schools?” Lu Shen asked softly.
Bian Shengjian had closed his eyes and did not speak. After a long time, he heard Lu Shen say something in a very low tone.
“What?” He frowned and turned his face on the pillow.
“I said,” Lu Shen was also looking at him, and repeated what he had just said,
“Third Brother, will you stay for me?”
