The first time Jian Suiying met Li Yu was in the living room of his own home.
When he entered the door with a cigarette in his mouth, he saw Jian Suilin sitting on the sofa with a boy, the two of them talking and laughing. The boy’s back was to him, his Feyenoord shirt sweaty against his back, making the broad, athletic lines of his back visible. Their pant legs were still muddy, but they sat nonchalantly on the beige leather sofa, empty Coke cans and two pieces of cake were placed on the coffee table, and a dirty soccer ball at their feet.
Hearing the door open, the two people chatting on the couch, one looked up, one turned his head to look at the door in unison.
Jian Suiying and the boy’s eyes met for a moment, and suddenly they couldn’t move a bit. The feeling at that time, the more elegant thing to say would be “love at first sight”, but to be more frank is that he “got hard at first glance”. But when you think about it, it sounds sinful.
Anyway, his heart was racing, he was breathing fast, and the blood jumped straight to his brain.
This boy, how to say it, his square eyebrows look that handsome ah, and in Jian Suiying’s words, that is “long according to my tastes”. What he likes most is this kind of robust, handsome, red lips, white teeth, and white face type of boy, not to mention that this one in front of him is much better looking than any other boy he’s seen before.
He has always felt that his brother has been considered one of the most beautiful and clean boys, but this one in front of him has a completely different calm and heroic temperament.
His eyes stared at the boy’s crimson lips, white beautiful neck, all the way to his shorts below the long and firm calves.
He has seen countless people in his life, but he has never wanted to get closer to a person as badly as he does now. But this person was a friend of Jian Suilin.
He suppressed the feelings in his heart and pretended to sweep a glance at them indifferently.
Seeing his unsuspecting face, Jian Suilin hurriedly called out, ” Ge, you’re back.”
Jian Suiying said “en”. As usual, he was indifferent to his brother.
“Ge, this is my classmate, Li Yu, the old chief’s grandson.”
“Oh? How come I haven’t seen him before?”
“Uncle Li was transferred to a foreign province before and just transferred back this year. We knew each other as children, but it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”
Jian Suiying remembered that some time ago his father seemed to have mentioned that Lao Li’s son had been given a promotion and had recently been transferred back to Beijing. He didn’t take it to heart, because the Jian family and the Li family had the kind of relationship that needed to move around during the New Year holidays, but they weren’t particularly close. If he knew that Lao Li had such a pretty grandson, he would have gotten closer to them.
He nodded, pressed down his fluttering heart, tried to maintain calm, and walked over.
The first thing Jian Suilin did was to get up, and Li Yu also followed.
Li Yu was well developed and was already about the same height as him. His body is long and athletic, his handsome face between a man and a youthful boy. This young man in front of him looks energetic and causes hearts to flutter.
Jian Suiying’s heart tickled. He always likes to play with such bodies, the ones with slender hands and feet. These men with such bodies are called beautiful and sexy. He extended his hand and smiled, “Lao Li’s grandson? Then you have to call me ge.”
Li Yu’s expression was bland but not rude, and shook his hand gently while nodding, “Jian-ge.”
Jian Suiying liked him a little more, it was rare to see such a stable temperament in an 18 or 19 year old boy. He deliberately patted Li Yu’s back, “Just finished playing soccer? Don’t turn on the air conditioner with such a low temperature, your clothes aren’t dry, you’ll catch a cold.” The feeling of soft and firm muscles on his hands made him tremble.
It was a rare occasion when his brother was so pleasant to him, so Jian Suilin couldn’t even hide his happiness and hastily picked up the air conditioner’s remote control, “I’ll turn up the temperature.”
Jian Suiying glanced at the cake on the table, “Have you eaten yet?”
Jian Suilin said, “No, we haven’t.”
“You’re tired after playing football, why do you eat these sweet things, where is Wu’s mom?”
“Wu’s mom left in the morning because he had something to do at home.”
“So there’s no one home?”
“Dad is not coming back, mom, I mean, my mom, also went out.” Jian Suilin realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately got nervous.
If it was like usual, Jian Suiying would have taken the opportunity to taunt him, but today he was in an unusually good mood and didn’t bother him. Instead, he said, “Order take-out then, I’m hungry too.”
Jian Suilin responded, “Hey ge, what do you want to eat?”
“I want to eat that…” Jian Suiying’s eyes turned to look at his flattered brother, and then looked at Li Yu, and changed his tone, “Come on, I don’t want to eat anything from outside, it’s not clean. Your classmate came here to visit for once, how about you cook that eggplant that you made last time?”
Jian Suilin froze, “Oh, okay, Ge, you want to eat eggplant? I’ll go to the kitchen then.” He turned around and went to the kitchen.
Once he left, Li Yu and Jian Suiying were left staring at each other, and Li Yu was somewhat embarrassed.
Jian Suiying patted his shoulder warmly and laughed, “Why are you just standing there? Sit down.”
Li Yu smiled politely and sat down.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Jian Suiying also followed and sat next to him, looking at his smooth face and outline.l The more he looked, the more unique he became to his eyes, and he really wanted to press the man down on the sofa now and strip him of his uniform and do something sinful. He had never played with a boy in a football uniform, so he might have to change his tastes when he got his hands on him later.
Jian Suiying tried to keep his facial expression normal and asked in an older brother’s tone, “You guys are about to take the college entrance exams, now you’re changing schools, can you adapt?”
“It’s okay, it’s the same exam everywhere.” Li Yu replied casually, but his eyes couldn’t help but drift towards the kitchen.
Jian Suiying lit a cigarette, just wanting to put something in his mouth, looked at Li Yu and smiled, “Want some?”
Li Yu frowned slightly, “Thank you, but I don’t smoke.”
Jian Suiying looked at his white jade-like face that had an uninterested and detached expression, and his heart grew fonder. He was not blind and could see that Li Yu did not like him very much. It’s no wonder, he is Jian Suilin’s friend, that kid might say something bad about him behind his back, it’d be strange that his friend can treat him well. But the more this happens, won’t it be more challenging? Jian Suiying was born a conqueror, and he also likes that the more he’s ignored, the more he’ll get to taste later.
Pretending not to see the embarrassment in Li Yu’s eyes, he continued to talk to him, “Your name is Li Yu ah, which Yu, ah?”
“The Yu of jade.”
“Yo, isn’t this a name for a girl?”
Li Yu lowered his eyes and didn’t reply.
“But this name is quite good, if given to other men, it would certainly be awkward, but for you, it’s more tasteful.” In the last part of his sentence, Jian Suiying said it with an ambiguous tone.
Li Yu didn’t know how to respond, only responding with a dry smile.
“Hey, have I seen you when I was younger? How old were you when you left Beijing?”
Li Yu’s eyes flashed sharply, and said in a deep voice, “I don’t think so.”
“Probably not, I don’t remember much about it. How old was Jian Suilin when he came to my house? I also forgot… you were also a child at that time, if you were as handsome as now, I certainly cannot forget, hahaha!”
Li Yu’s face has shown a trace of impatience, but because of keeping face, he can’t just get up and go.
Jian Suiying asked, “How are your grades, which school do you plan to take?”
“They’re not bad, I just plan to take the local one.”
Jian Suiying is thick-skinned, the more people ignore him, the more energetic he is, so he continued to make small talk, “Yes, we are so good here in Beijing, why go to a foreign country you’re not familiar with, right? You are quite tired now, right? Xiao Lin-zi often stays up until two or three o’clock in the middle of the night. In fact, this is not good, the closer you get to the exam, the more you need to rest, if something goes wrong with your health, it would delay things, do you think?”
“Yes.”
“It’s good for you to exercise more, your body is the most important thing.” He took the opportunity to pat Li Yu’s back, feeling a handful of vigorous muscles, and his heart swelled.
Li Yu nodded awkwardly, “I’ll go help in the kitchen.”
“Hey, no, this thing, he can do well, he’s not too useless. You are a guest, so just sit down. By the way, I’ll ask you, does Xiao Lin-zi have a girlfriend?”
Li Yu shook his head, “No.”
“No? He should be quite popular with the girls at school, right? I was also a student before, and talking about relationships at your age is not a big deal, but it is not good to waste time because of exams. If there is one, you have to talk to me, I am also doing it for his sake.”
“Jian-ge, there really isn’t.”
“Oh, then you also don’t have one?” In fact, this is what Jian Suiying really wanted to ask, Jian Suilin having a girlfriend or not isn’t his business.
Li Yu couldn’t sit still, but he couldn’t get up and leave either, so he said helplessly, “I don’t have one either.”
Jian Suiying was very happy. He saw that it was almost time, so he stopped dragging Li Yu to more bullshit. The impatience in Li Yu’s eyes couldn’t be concealed.
In fact, Jian Suiying is a brisk and generous pure man. He has a bunch of friends, and he frequently meets a lot of excellent people. For a young boy of Li Yu’s age, just two sentences from him can make children involved in society begin to worship him. It’s a pity that as a friend of Jian Suilin, Li Yu doesn’t see him well from his heart, and Jian Suiying knows to take it as it comes. He has to leave a good impression, and annoying him again would be counterproductive.
“Then you sit first, I’ll go to the kitchen to see, ah.” After saying this, Jian Suiying got up and went to the kitchen.
Li Yu was relieved.
As soon as Jian Suiying entered the kitchen, he saw his brother frying vegetables with an apron on his face and a very focused expression.
Jian Suiying leaned against the door frame, “How’s it going?”
“Ah, ge, I’m almost done, you go back and sit down, there’s a lot of steam here.”
“It’s okay.” Jian Suiying walked next to him and looked at the green peppers in the pot, “It smells good.”
Jian Suilin had been ridiculed by his brother since he was a child, and there were only a few days in the year when he could be so pleasant to him, so he was quite uncomfortable for a while and didn’t know how to answer.
Jian Suiying pretended to be inattentive and said, “How could Lao Li’s grandson return at this time, can he keep up with his studies?”
“Yes, he is very smart.”
“If he comes back so suddenly, the girls in your school will go crazy.”
Jian Suilin laughed, “Yes, the day he arrived, the girls who came to see him in our classroom filled up the corridor, no exaggeration.”
He didn’t know how, but he felt a little smug in my heart, probably because he thought he had a good eye.
Jian Suilin was quite handy, it took him forty minutes to get three dishes and soup ready on the table.
Li Yu sat down with Jian Suilin and relaxed a bit.
Jian Suiying pulled out a bottle of low-degree fruit wine from the family’s wine cabinet, with a foreign language on the label. This bottle was from someone that wasn’t long-sighted, for his father is a northeasterner, who only drinks dry white wine. Where would he drink this kind of sweet thing? Now it is just right to give the children to drink two mouthfuls to help them cheer up.
Jian Suiying poured three cups of wine, “Come on, have a couple of sips, to whet your appetite.”
Jian Suilin had little reaction, at their home, drinking wine is a common thing. Li Yu looked at the glass of wine, and faintly said, “Jian-ge, I can’t drink.”
A man who says he can’t drink will either pretend to drink something or not give face, and in this case, the former is less likely after all. Jian Suiying wasn’t very happy. You said you do not smoke and drink, such a good youth, ah, high school students these days are not so pretentious as before.
He pushed the wine glass to Li Yu and laughed, “What do you mean you can’t drink wine, if you really can’t drink, as a man you have to learn it, ah. You can rest assured that the degree of this is particularly low, this type of drink is fine!”
Li Yu frowned slightly, “Jian-ge, we have classes in the afternoon.”
“It’s not a big deal. Come on, give me some face.”
Li Yu gave Jian Suilin a look, who gave him a helpless look in return and then lowered his eyes. Li Yu’s eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure but didn’t show anything else, lifting the wine glass and taking a sip.
Jian Suiying laughed and said, “You little girl, ah, men drink in big gulps, Xiao Lin-zi, come, show him one.”
Jian Suilin grabbed the glass and drank half a cup, but he drank too quickly and choked, coughing with a red face, Li Yu patted his back, “Slow down, want some water?”
Jian Suilin waved his hand, “No, it’s okay.”
Jian Suiying raised his cup to Li Yu’s eyes, “Come on, have a sip with me.”
Li Yu helplessly raised his cup and clinked it with Jian Suiying, then tilted his neck and took a more decent sip. He took a look at Li Yu’s reluctant little eyes, and a perverted thought surged up in his heart.
Li Yu put down the glass, and no longer looked at Jian Suiying, sullenly eating.
The big young man stretched his legs, contentedly began to eat the dishes, and knocked the plate containing shrimp with his chopsticks. “Xiao Lin-zi, peel a few shrimp for brother.”
“Okay.” Jian Suilin put down his chopsticks and honestly peeled the shrimp for his brother.
Li Yu’s hand holding the chopsticks paused, eyes falling on Jian Suilin’s hand, a trace of sulking rose in his eyes. Jian Suilin’s hands are very good-looking, belonging to the kind of fine girl’s small tender hands. He had long fingers, but the bones aren’t big. It is difficult for him to grow quite tall but also have a pair of such beautiful hands.
Such good-looking hands, but doing something like this, Li Yu thought. But for other people’s domestic affairs, he cannot interfere, and can only hold back.
The two brothers were used to it, and Jian Suilin peeled the shrimp cleanly and put them in his brother’s bowl before moving his own chopsticks again.
At the dinner table, Jian Suiying acted like an older brother, asking them about their studies and what they were planning to apply for, but it was all nonsense that he’ll forget afterwards. He pretended to be concerned about Jian Suilin and did not dare to be too attentive to Li Yu. He is, after all, a homosexual and almost everyone in the family knew. Though he cares little for his relatives on his father’s side, those his mother’s side are people more dear in his heart, in his hands hold the family’s lifeline in terms of economic status, so even his own father pretended not to know about it. In fact, they also know that they cannot control Jian Suiying on this.
But he still does not want to let Jian Suilin know what he sees in his classmate, that he has some twisted thoughts. If this kid detects his intentions, he might say bad things about him in front of Li Yu, and he would lose his chance.
After eating, it’s almost time for the two to go back to school.
Jian Suiying only went back today to get something, he usually doesn’t live here, only dropping by once a couple of weeks at most. His family is happy, it’s not his business. He doesn’t want to see that woman.
Jian Suiying took his things, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to school.”
Jian Suilin said, “No need ge, Uncle Ma will take us.”
“Uncle Ma is old, let him take a longer nap, change your clothes and go.”
Jian Suilin looked at Li Yu with some difficulty and hesitantly said, “Brother, we both want to take a shower first, it’s too dirty after playing ball.”
“Then go, I’m not in a hurry.”
Jian Suiying had never been so patient with Jian Suilin, which made him rather uncomfortable for a while and gave his brother an uncertain look, “Then I’ll go wash up, Li Yu, come up and wait for me, I’ll be quick.”
Jian Suiying said to Li Yu, “You can go to the bathroom in my room to save some time, it’s quite far from here to your school.”
Li Yu was reluctant, “No, I’ll wait for him.”
“Come on, we’re about the same size, you can wear my clothes.”
Li Yu couldn’t find any reason to refuse, so he followed Jian Suiying upstairs and went into his room. Jian Suiying pointed to the bathroom, “You go wash, I’ll find clothes for you.”
Li Yu hurried into the bathroom, and in a short while came the sound of rushing water.
Jian Suiying stared at the thin door, and a lot of unpleasant fantasies appeared in his head. This is too much for him, a door is the only thing separating him from fresh meat, but he can only listen to the movement, his chest pounding at the same time, making the moment more enjoyable and worth looking forward to.
Li Yu washed quickly, only lasting for five or six minutes, and later peeked from the bathroom door, “Jian-ge, clothes.”
Jian Suiying took the prepared clothes and walked over, handing them to him. He couldn’t help but look at his chest through the doorway.
With the slender neck, the firm chest, the waistline that extends downward, and his unnerved look at Jian Suiying, the older really wanted to push open the door, press the man to the wall, and lick the water droplets on his body clean.
Unfortunately, he did not dare to move even if he was ’t calm, which put Jian Suiying feel really suffocated.
Li Yu was so focused on getting the clothes that he didn’t notice Jian Suiying’s wanton eyes.
Li Yu and Jian Suilin came down the stairs from both sides of the house to the living room.
Jian Suiying shook the car keys, “Let’s go.”
Once in the garage, Li Yu’s eyes changed, and Jian Suiying felt joy. There is no such man who doesn’t love cars. When he was Li Yu’s age, he wasn’t old enough to get a driver’s license, and could only sneak out in his father’s car to mess around. Li Yu’s family is full of officials, so even with a driver’s license, he cannot drive in too open or lavish cars, so he could quite understand what mood Li Yu had when he looked at this garage full of famous and expensive cars.
This garage was specially modified, and since he now lives in a place without such good conditions, most of his car collection is kept at the family home. Here, he finally found a place to make Li Yu interested in him.
Li Yu observed the cars but didn’t say anything. Lao Li’s grandson must have seen a lot of big scenes, this stability makes Jian Suiying more likeable.
Jian Suiying patted Li Yu, “Which one do you like?”
Li Yu froze for a moment, “What?”
“Which one do you like, ge will use one today, you pick.”
Li Yu gently pulled the corner of his mouth, “Jian-ge, use whatever it is to your convenience.”
“Don’t bother, I said I’d let you pick, so you pick. These cars have not moved for a long time, so it is not good to leave them like this. Today just pick one car, say, which one you like.”
Jian Suilin’s body stiffened, pursed his lips, and quickly turned his eyes away.
Li Yu then casually pointed out the Maserati that was closest to the door of the warehouse.
“Okay, we’ll use that.”
The two boys were in a happy mood as they drove out. He remembered that he had been to Jian Suilin’s school once, or was forced by his old man to come in his place to participate in a parent-teacher conference for Jian Suilin, and he remembered that Jian Suilin was so happy that he went back and told him that many girls envied him for having such a handsome brother.
Jian Suiying listened to him but didn’t take it seriously. Because one, he is handsome and he isn’t unaware of this fact; and second, is that he is not interested in women at all.
Because that PTA meeting was held at night, not many students were present. Now, it’s daytime and many students will return to school, so the school entrance will be full of students. Jian Suiying looked around at the occasional red lips and white teeth of young teenagers and suddenly felt that the school was a good place.
The two of them were sent to the school’s entrance by Jian Suiying, who also got out of the car. Listening to the awed sounds around them, he felt overjoyed.
Li Yu’s face looked very unpleasant, and he said a curt “goodbye” to Jian Suiying, pulling Jian Suilin and quickly blending amongst the sea of students.
Jian Suiying looked at Li Yu’s back, licked his lips, and his eyes glowed like the boundless spring.
Hello everyone! I’m back with another project. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do. Again, in case you didn’t see it yet, please read the content warnings on the main page. This isn’t a story for everyone so if you don’t like the themes, please don’t read. This is for your own well-being too.
There are only 23 chapters for the main story, but each chapter is very long (chapter 1 is already over 40k words on my word doc) hence, I’ll be splitting each chapter into 3-4 parts depending on the length and what I can manage in a week.
Don’t forget to support the author and purchase the raws if you can!
