Ning Er didn’t have many things. Early the next day, Ning Er’s mother packed a small suitcase for him and sent him out of the house.
Ning Er stood at the door, nervously dragging the suitcase. He raised his head, and Shao Bohan was smiling at him, making Ning Er feel a bit embarrassed. Ning Er shifted his gaze and said, “Really… really going to your house?”
Shao Bohan didn’t even bring a suitcase, only a shoulder bag. He glanced at Ning Er and then at the bright yellow suitcase he was dragging.
Ning Er immediately hid the suitcase behind his back and said, “My mom said the suitcase should be a brighter color so that if you stand by the roadside at night, people can see you and you won’t get hit. I have never traveled far alone before, and this suitcase belongs to my mom…” This shiny suitcase was definitely not his!
Shao Bohan smiled meaningfully and said, “Oh, I didn’t ask about that.” He took the bag from Ning Er and they walked downstairs together.
Ning Er felt both annoyed and embarrassed.
Ning Er walked slowly, following behind Shao Bohan, taking small steps one after another.
The two of them walked for more than ten minutes before they reached the entrance of the residential area. Suddenly, Shao Bohan turned to look at him and said, “Xiao Er, you do not want to come to my house?”
Ning Er instantly straightened his posture and replied, “Can I not go?”
Shao Bohan looked at him seriously and asked, “Why don’t you want to go?”
Ning Er had no idea how to express this reason. He didn’t want to go to Shao Bohan’s house because he thought it would be too awkward. Spending a holiday with Shao Bohan, being with him, and also going to his house… Isn’t that too intimate?
Seeing that Ning Er didn’t answer, Shao Bohan nodded and said, “Are you embarrassed to meet my parents?”
Ning Er raised his head and asked, “Huh?”
“I understand,” Shao Bohan, with Ning Er’s bag on his back, smirked at him and said, “Xiao Er, do you think the way we are right now, it’s like a boyfriend bringing his girlfriend home to meet the parents? Hmm… like discussing marriage and all that?”
Ning Er exclaimed, “Shao Bohan!”
Shao Bohan burst into laughter and waved his hand, “Don’t worry, my parents aren’t at home. They’re overseas.”
The distance from Yan City to Hai City is a two-hour car ride.
Ning Er initially thought they would take a high-speed train. To his surprise, there was a driver specifically sent from Hai City to pick up Shao Bohan and drive him back home. The black car smoothly cruised on the highway, and gradually, Ning Er’s nervousness subsided.
During the journey, Shao Bohan only exchanged a few words with the driver. From time to time, he leaned over to Ning Er’s side to watch him play a mobile game. Ning Er took a short nap and woke up to find Shao Bohan also asleep.
Shao Bohan leaned against the window, his face tilting slightly in the direction of the window, peacefully asleep.
When he was asleep, he seemed to lack some of the sharpness he had when awake. Ning Er had never dared to disturb an awake Shao Bohan, and now this sleeping Shao Bohan appeared harmless and calm. Ning Er couldn’t help but gaze at him, stealing a glance, then another. He noticed a strand of hair had fallen onto Shao Bohan’s nose, making him frown slightly in discomfort.
Ning Er leaned in gently, carefully brushing aside that strand of hair.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his hand.
Ning Er stared in confusion at Shao Bohan, while Shao Bohan looked at him with a calm gaze. After a second, as if realizing who was in front of him, Shao Bohan raised the corner of his lips and didn’t let go of Ning Er’s hand. He asked with a low chuckle, “Xiao Er, what bad things are you doing while I was sleeping?”
This phrase sounded too familiar, as Ning Er had said the same thing to Shao Bohan just last week.
Ning Er felt like he hadn’t done anything wrong at all and confidently replied, “I just helped you move your hair aside.”
Shao Bohan still held onto his hand but jokingly said, “I need to check in the mirror to see if you’ve drawn something on my face while I was sleeping.”
Ning Er: “…” Was he really that childish?!
During the long journey, the driver didn’t say a word and didn’t even glance at the two young people in the back seat.
Shao Bohan kept teasing Ning Er. Occasionally he would be leaning in and saying, “You’re not playing Xiaoxiaole properly. Let me help you with this level,” and then asking, “Xiao Er, do you really want to meet my parents so badly?”
Ning Er responded, “Those are your parents, not mine!”
Shao Bohan smiled and didn’t say anything.
One day, they will also become your parents.

After arriving in Haicheng, Ning Er’s attention gradually shifted to this bustling metropolis.

The car stopped in front of a villa, and after the driver helped Ning Er with his luggage, Shao Bohan asked him to leave.
Ning Er followed Shao Bohan through the large iron gate, curiously looking at the lush garden in the villa. Without paying attention, Ning Er bumped his forehead against a solid back. When he looked up, Shao Bohan was looking down at him with a playful look and said, “Do you like it? See, Xiao Er, that’s specially prepared for you. How about going for a walk this afternoon?”
Ning Er looked in the direction Shao Bohan pointed and then said, “…”
Who wants to play on a swing!!!
Shao Bohan swiped a card to enter the house, and a lonely swing swayed gently in the garden.
Ning Er didn’t believe for a moment that the swing was specially prepared for him. When Shao Bohan helped him pack his things, he revealed the truth, saying, “My parents set it up. When I first came from Yan Cheng to Hai Cheng as a child, they didn’t know why they did it, probably thinking I’d like it. I’m not a girl, so why would I like something like this?”
Ning Er didn’t think much of it as Shao Bohan spoke so naturally.
Ning Er’s parents used to talk about the Shao family a lot. Ning Er accidentally overheard his father talking about it once. It seemed like Shao Bohan’s parents had started from scratch and built a successful life in Hai Cheng.
They were practically a golden boy and a jade maiden. Shao Bohan’s father had studied in the United States and returned as a sea turtle and had founded an internet company in the last century. Shao Bohan’s mother was also remarkable. Her family was already well-off, and she held a Ph.D. in finance from a prestigious American university.
It was probably during the years when Shao Bohan was born that the Shao family went through a crucial period. In the global financial storm that swept the world, Shao Bohan’s parents took advantage of the opportunity and turned their company into one of the top internet companies in the industry.
When Ning Er was a child, he had actually seen Shao Bohan’s parents before. He had no impression of Shao Bohan’s father at all. He only remembered that the man was dressed in a very sharp suit. But Shao Bohan’s mother had once held Ning Er and had even given him a box of foreign chocolates.
Ning Er remembered that Shao Bohan’s mother was very beautiful, and Shao Bohan seemed to have inherited some of his mother’s features, sharing a resemblance in their facial features.
Shao Bohan led Ning Er into a bedroom, and Ning Er started to put his clothes in the closet.
The room was very clean, and all the amenities were well-equipped. When Ning Er opened the closet, he saw several sets of clothes hanging inside. He asked in confusion, “Why are there clothes in here?”
Shao Bohan was helping him with his homework when he heard this, and without turning his head, he said, “If you want to wear it, you can take it out.”
Ning Er understood. Shao Bohan had actually prepared clothes for him to wear? But this time he had brought his own clothes.
After they unpacked for a while, Shao Bohan took Ning Er to the Bund to play.
The long Huangpu River formed a loop in the most bustling area of Hai Cheng, with the Oriental Pearl Tower on the other side of the river. The Bund was crowded with people, and even though it was the day before National Day, there were many tourists here for sightseeing.
Ning Er took several photos of the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl Tower and sent them to his parents. After a while, he looked at Shao Bohan with some awkwardness and said, “My parents said they want to see a photo of us together with the Oriental Pearl Tower in the background.”
Shao Bohan lowered his head to look at Ning Er’s phone and found that Ning Er’s parents had indeed sent such a WeChat message. He looked around and found a foreigner taking a picture of the Oriental Pearl Tower. Ning Er approached the foreigner and spoke a few words, and the foreigner nodded and smiled. Shao Bohan handed his phone to the foreigner.
The foreigner walked in front of the two and said in English, “Are you ready?”
Shao Bohan’s actions were rather quick. Before Ning Er could react, Shao Bohan put his arm around Ning Er’s shoulder, brought him into his embrace, and boldly made a heart shape with his hands in front of the camera. He then turned to Ning Er and said, “Xiao Er, smile.”
Ning Er snapped back to reality and stiffly leaned against Shao Bohan’s embrace, looking at the foreigner, and raising his hand to make a heart shape.
“Wow! Great shot, you guys look really great!” The foreigner returned the phone to Shao Bohan.
Shao Bohan smiled and replied in English, “Thank you, you look great too.”
Ning Er understood the foreigner’s words, but due to limited interaction with foreigners in Yan Cheng, he cautiously observed the foreigner and hesitated to talk to him.
As the foreigner was leaving, he noticed Ning Er looking at him, and his eyes lit up. He said something quickly to Ning Er, but Ning Er didn’t quite catch it. But Shao Bohan frowned and replied to the foreigner in an unfamiliar language.
The foreigner was taken aback and said to Shao Bohan in English, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you guys were in this kind of relationship.”
Shao Bohan pulled Ning Er behind him, protecting him, and said, “It’s okay.”
The foreigner left quickly, and Ning Er curiously asked Shao Bohan, “Was that sentence he said in English?”
Shao Bohan replied, “It was in German. I didn’t expect him to be a German.”
Ning Er was very surprised and asked, “You can speak German?”
Shao Bohan looked at Ning Er’s surprised expression and slowly started to smile, “Why, do you think I’m especially cool?”
Ning Er didn’t really want to admit it, but he did think Shao Bohan was kind of impressive, so he decided to remain silent.
Shao Bohan continued to walk with him, “I spent a year on an exchange program in Germany during junior high. I didn’t really like that place much… Well, Yan Cheng is better, better than anywhere else.”
Yan Cheng was a third-tier small city, how could it possibly compare to Germany? It definitely couldn’t compare to Hai Cheng. Ning Er looked at Shao Bohan’s mischievous smile, but he felt that Shao Bohan was speaking seriously and not just trying to deceive anyone.
When the two of them left the Bund and took a boat to Pudong, Ning Er remembered something and asked, “What did that foreigner say, exactly?”
Shao Bohan’s smile froze for a moment and calmly replied, “He said he thinks we’re very handsome.”
Ning Er asked in doubt, “Really? But didn’t he say this before? Why say it again? What did you tell him?”
Shao Bohan replied, “I told him that I also think we are very handsome.”
Ning Er was skeptical: “But he later apologized.”
Shao Bohan looked at Ning Er intently and after a moment, he chuckled, “Well, he said he found you cute and wanted to be friends with you. I told him I’m your boyfriend, and he apologized to me.”
Ning Er: “…”
After a moment, Ning Er blushed and said, “This joke is not funny at all.”
Shao Bohan was still smiling, but he looked at Ning Er very seriously. After a while, his smile faded and shrugged, “I should have told you a different joke.”
Ning Er: “…”
In the evening, Ning Er and Shao Bohan climbed to the observation deck of the Oriental Pearl Tower, gazing at the night view of the entire city of Hai Cheng.
Ning Er had never been here before and it cost over 200 yuan to buy tickets. It was also during the National Day holiday, so there was no student discount. But when he came to Hai Cheng this time, he had brought his red envelope money and pocket money that he had saved over the years.
He wanted to enjoy his time in Hai Cheng, spend the holiday with Shao Bohan, and explore the city.
Shao Bohan led him to the glass corridor of the observation deck, where Ning Er could see the ground below when he looked down.
Shao Bohan initially wanted to scare Ning Er, hoping he’d get scared and hide in his arms. To his surprise, Ning Er crouched on the glass corridor, looking at the tiny crowd and vehicles on the ground with excitement.
Shao Bohan: “… Xiao Er, aren’t you afraid?”
Ning Er, seemingly “floating” in mid-air, stood on the glass corridor and looked up at Shao Bohan, saying, “What should I be afraid of?”
Shao Bohan: “…”
Ning Er stood on the glass corridor, taking several photos with his phone.
At first, Shao Bohan didn’t have much of a feeling, but after standing for a while, he gradually started to feel a bit anxious. He calmly walked out of the glass corridor. After a while, Ning Er looked at him strangely and said, “Shao Bohan, are you getting a bit scared?”
Shao Bohan’s mouth twitched and walked back, “Scared of what?”
Ning Er nodded and continued taking photos.
Shao Bohan, whose legs were starting to feel weak, “…”
In the evening, Shao Bohan took Ning Er to a famous Hai Cheng specialty restaurant. By the time they got home, it was already 10 PM.
Ning Er looked serious and asked, “Are we going to Fudan University tomorrow?”
Shao Bohan, who was changing his shoes, almost fell upon hearing that. He turned around and looked at Ning Er in disbelief, “Seriously, Xiao Er, we finally came out to relax and take a break. Let’s not think about visiting the school the very next day.”
Ning Er raised his phone and explained, “My mom said she wants to see photos of Fudan University campus tomorrow.”
Only then did Shao Bohan nod helplessly and say, “Alright, we”ll go tomorrow.”
Ning Er felt like he might be inconveniencing Shao Bohan.
For Shao Bohan, he might not want to see the campuses of Fudan and Jiaotong University or visit the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower at all. For Ning Er, these were things he had never experienced. But Shao Bohan had lived in Hai Cheng for eight years and was probably very familiar with all of them.
As Shao Bohan changed his shoes to enter the house, before taking a step, his coat was tugged by someone. He turned to look, and his gaze stopped abruptly as he saw the fair-faced youth in front of him.
Ning Er said apologetically, “Let’s just go see the campus tomorrow, Shao Bohan. Do you have something to do in Hai Cheng? You don’t need to worry about me. I can stay home alone. it’s okay.”
In his clear eyes, a tiny reflection of himself could be seen. At the moment he saw this person, his heart seemed to stop. Shao Bohan didn’t utter a word. his gaze was fixed firmly on Ning Er. He was much taller than Ning Er, and as he stared at him, Ning Er suddenly felt like… this person might want to devour him.
Ning Er instinctively took a half step back.
Shao Bohan gently pulled back his hand, his eyes deep, and he smiled softly, saying, “Alright, we”ll go visit the campus tomorrow. After seeing the campus, I have nothing else to do. What would you like to do… Xiao Er, I”ll accompany you with whatever you want to do, okay?”
Ning Er felt the warmth on his wrist and looked at Shao Bohan’s gentle smile, gradually letting go of his worries about causing trouble. At the same time, a strange, instinctive sense of danger welled up within him, but he quickly dismissed it.
“Okay.”
Ning Er returned to his room to take a shower.
The sound of rushing water echoed in the room.
There was a soft “click.” While Ning Er was still in the shower and couldn’t hear, Shao Bohan, dressed in pajamas, boldly entered the room, lay on the bed, and took out his phone to play with it. After a minute, he put the phone down and looked towards the direction of the bathroom. His lips curled up slightly, and he tapped his fingers on the bed.
Ning Er realized that he had forgotten to take underwear after finishing his shower. He quickly put on a T-shirt, opened the door, and was about to go to the closet to get some underwear.
Ning Er walked out of the bathroom directly, glanced towards the direction of the bed with no hesitation, crouched down, and opened a drawer in the wardrobe to find his underwear that he had brought with him. He completely failed to notice that when he walked out of the bathroom, the person sitting on the bed had their eyes widened, staring intently at his naked legs.
The slightly oversized T-shirt barely covered the ambiguous area, and as Ning Er crouched down to find his clothes, the T-shirt lifted slightly, revealing a bit of fair skin and a curvaceous outline. Shao Bohan’s eyes remained glued to the exposed area, unable to look away. His gaze trembled, and his body moved forward instinctively.
A dry, hoarse voice sounded from behind Ning Er, “Xiao Er…”
Ning Er’s body froze. He turned to look at the person who had spoken. With this glance, he was almost scared enough to fall to the ground, holding a clean and simple white pair of underwear in his hand.
Shao Bohan was standing by the bed, extending his hand forcefully.
Boom!
Shao Bohan propped one hand against the wardrobe, pinning Ning Er against his chest.
Ning Er’s trembling body pressed against the wardrobe, and droplets of water gently trickled down from his wet hair. Having just showered, his skin was smooth and fair, with dark, shiny eyes quivering as they stared at the person in front of him. That touch of timidity and panic turned into the most captivating scenery, making it hard to imagine.
Shao Bohan had no control over his body.
All he could see in his mind was the scene he had accidentally witnessed just now.
Ning Er… how could he dare to run out like this without wearing underwear!
How dare he, he dared…
His body acted faster than his consciousness. Shao Bohan suddenly approached, pressing his entire body against Ning Er’s.
Two people’s bodies suddenly touched. Ning Er blushed instantly and Shao Bohan directly on the hard. He pressed hard against Ning Er’s thigh. Ning Er felt the hot thing, and his heart beat violently. He raised his eyes and looked at the beast-like man in front of him. His face was red and his heart was beating so fast, it felt like it was coming out of his mouth.
Ning Er subconsciously wanted to escape, but Shao Bohan pressed his other hand on the wardrobe again, locking him firmly in his arms. The thing was ferociously pressed between Ning Er’s legs. He was not wearing underwear. The thing had a fierce and overbearing breath, which made Ning Er’s legs almost weak.
He’s so big..
Ning Er clenched his fingers tightly and his voice became hoarse, “Shao Bohan…”
Shao Bohan’s eyes were almost red. He clearly felt the unreserved body curve of the person he loved most. They were still so close, so hot, so hard to let go.
