Before sleeping that night, Huang Yu had to consume the drink he never thought he would have to touch: milk. He looked at Liu Shenghao holding the cup, with a face that insisted on him drinking. Huang Yu rolled over on the bed. I don’t want to drink!

“It’s good for you!” Liu Shenghao inisted firmly. efmWgQ

“Aren’t you just thinking about the kid? Before you never made me drink it.” It still hadn’t been confirmed, so Huang Yu started to feel depressed.

“Don’t malign me,” Liu Shenghao said in a low voice. “I bought this a long time ago. Even if you aren’t pregnant, you should go to the gym anyway for your health.” Liu Shenghao stuffed the cup into his hands. “You are a fine arts student, so it’s fine if your flexibility is not good, but your hand dexterity is actually not good either.”

When Huang Yu heard this, he felt very bashful. “That… how can it be the same! It feels different when you group it, one is slimmer and the other is…”

“Stop, stop talking! Just finish drinking, brush your teeth, and go to bed.” Liu Shenghao immediately stopped Huang Yu from continuing with that train of thought. Who knew what he would say next! Fjbk2y

“I just brushed my teeth!” Huang Yu said angrily while drinking the milk.

“Brush again. The toothpaste is mint flavored, your favorite.” Before LIu Shenghao went to the study, he gave Huang Yu a long, deep look. This time, it didn’t make his body hot all over, instead it filled him with anger! This little Shengsheng always liked to bring up things from the past! I don’t like mint flavor!

“I like durian flavor!” Huang Yu shouted.

Liu Shenghao put on a cold expression. “Huang Yu, so you liked such a strong flavor all along.” He clapped his hands, then sadly walked away, leaving Huang Yu biting on his glass.

Once Huang Yu finished (with great difficulty) drinking the milk and brushed his teeth, he brought the cup to the kitchen and saw that there was a light was still on in the living room that was giving off a faint, dim light. He checked his watch and saw it was almost early morning. Huang Yu glanced at the door to the closed study. After a brief pause, he still decided to secretly run to the entrance of the study. He quietly pushed the door open a crack. The light from inside spilled out, scaring Huang Yu back to prevent his shadow from being cast. He then crept forward to peek in. Right now, Liu Shenghao was on the phone. He had to admit that the soundproofing of this room was just too good. He watched his family’s Shengsheng’s imposing and majestic manner as he fiercely spoke to someone on the phone. His voice was also not soft, but he could not hear him from outside. When they were in the bedroom before, he had even told him to lower his voice. Damn! You were tricking laozi! Laozi had to suffer a lot!

However, even if he could hear what he was saying, Huang Yu would not understand it. “What kind of language is this!” Huang Yu softly mumbled. Suddenly, he saw Liu Shenghao turn around, and he immediately covered his mouth. He inched away from the door, then patted his chest to calm down and went back up to the door. Liu Shenghao was now seated, looking at his computer, still writing something. Huang Yu watched for a while, before going back to the room to sleep. Liu Shenghao had slept very late the last few days, not like before when he had been much more relaxed. He spent a lot more time in the study, but the cooking courses had not stopped. Everyday he learned one or two new dishes or soups. After making it a few times, it was quite good. The luckiest one was Huang Yu!

Huang Yu lay on the bed when he finally remembered his grand idea he forgot about earlier. He immediately logged onto Taobao to buy some supplies and recalled what software his classmates were playing around with lately. Huang Yu had to spend a lot of brain power to remember his Weibo password.  When he saw his username was actually “Lush and Verdant Can’t See the Bottom, Huang Yu suddenly felt that he was indeed very talented! However, the last post on his weibo was from two years ago. He only made a few posts, but he had over a thousand fans, strangely enough. He looked at the posts he wrote. Things like “Justice will prevail!” “Lush and Verdant can’t see the sky because I’m blocked by a mountain”, and there were some people asking why he said this, and Huang Yu replied. “Was scolded by Dad!” Huang Yu looked at it and immediately felt that he really had literary attainments! A rare talent! No wonder he had so many fans! However, he forgot that after every one of his posts, he attached a photo of himself at the end…

The next day, Huang Yu, as usual, dilly dallied until it was almost noon before finally getting out of bed. It was almost exams, so there weren’t many classes. Huang Yu wanted to indulge himself, but he couldn’t laze around fully because Huang Yu had his Shengsheng! dkpoDs

After tidying up, Huang Yu went to the dining table to see it full of nutritious breakfast and lunch items. Satisfied he nodded, “Not bad, not bad!”

“I see you’re up. Give your dad a call. You don’t have enough time to go home and eat lunch.” Liu Shenghao passed Huang Yu a bowl of rice.

“Of course I’ll like it!” Huang Yu happily replied. “Then I’ll be Big Brother! It’s such a beautiful title; I will definitely play with them. Then my dad won’t make me go to the company too!”

I see that the last sentence is the important part, thought Liu Shenghao helplessly. It’s good to be so simple.

Seeing Liu Shenghao not so enthusiastic, Huang Yu asked, “Shengsheng you’re an only child! If you had a little sibling it would be better!”

“I think it’s better being an only child,” Liu Shenghao said quietly. Huang Yu thought it was because of his young child temperament. “Ai! You were jealous that your little brother and sister would steal your parents!” 2B5o0C

“Not everyone needs a younger brother or sister.” Liu Shenghao impatiently threw down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the study. Huang Yu, not knowing what to do, bit on his chopsticks. Did he say something wrong? Shengsheng seemed mad…

In the afternoon, Huang Yu knocked on the door of the study. Liu Shenghao didn’t open it, just saying he was busy. Huang Yu couldn’t do anything about it. What’s more, Huang Yu was used to being spoiled, and he also had a temper. He could deal with it once, twice, but not three times. Huang Yu knocked on the door five times before angrily going to the sofa to watch TV. Who wouldn’t be mad!

But after a while, Huang Yu couldn’t stay still. Did I really do something wrong? Shengsheng is always mad at me, what do I do? However, just as he thought that, the doorbell rang. Huang Yu ran over to open the door. It was the express delivery. Huang Yu saw the package with all of the stuff he just bought. He was surprised that express delivery was this quick!

He took the things in and looked at the closed study door. Huang Yu tested it with a push. Huh? It opened? dj6U28

Liu Shenghao who was dealing with some things right now heard the noise and lifted his head and told Huang Yu, “Entertain yourself. I’ll take you back tonight,” then continued to work. Huang Yu nodded and closed the door behind him.

He walked to the sofa and opened up the packages. All of it came pouring out. He also got his drawing board and tools then started to draw. While he drew, he thought about his Shengsheng. It seems that his Shengsheng cared about his parents! Then he would have to work harder to win his parents’ affection!

Sometime after three, Liu Shenghao came out to get himself a drink of water. He saw Huang Yu leaning on the window sill. He walked over and asked him what he was doing.

Huang Yu happily took the stuff he finished working on and presented them to Liu Shenghao. “Look, look, look! I drew these for you!” 5YC4Bf

Liu Shenghao moved to pick it up, but Huang yu stopped him. “Don’t touch it. It can’t be moved!” Liu Shenghao also sat down by the bay window, looking at the present that Huang Yu made for him. It was a hand-painted phone case, across which was drawn a forest. On the left there was a half circle, in the middle a whole circle, and on the right another half circle. Liu Shenghao looked at the circles and asked, “This is a sun?”

“Yes, yes!” Huang Yu excitedly nodded. He pointed at his own case while explaining to Liu Shenghao. “The left side is the sun coming out, the middle is noon, and this is sunset.”

“They’re not the same?” Liu Shenghao asked.

“Of course not! Can’t you see that they give off different light! The sun’s color gets deeper.” b7qltz

“Oh, how did you come up with this concept?” asked Liu Shenghao while looking at Huang Yu’s phone. He had to say that Huang Yu’s drawing ability was good. His handling of the lines was not bad; he drew a lot of things in this small space and managed to make it feel like it wasn’t crowded.

“It comes from our names! The ‘Yu’ from Huang Yu can mean ‘lush and verdant’, so I thought of a forest. Then I had to do Shengsheng. That was harder, but I thought of the sun. The character for Sheng has a sun character in it, doesn’t it? I wasn’t just randomly drawing! You saw that the rising sun and the setting sun were covered by the forest, then the midday sun was up much higher! The ascent and descent of the sun is an arc. I named it ‘The Life of the Forest and Sun’. It represents that Huang Yu and Shengsheng will be together forever.” After saying this, Huang Yu happilly looked at Liu Shenghao.

Liu Shenghao was surprised. He didn’t think that Huang Yu had these intentions when drawing this scene. Looking at the drawing on the cellphone case, Liu Shenghao felt a tang he couldn’t describe in his heart This tang was gentle, warm, soft, melting his heart. Liu Shenghao rubbed Huang Yu’s head somewhat roughly, but it was definitely not because he was unhappy. Instead it was from being too emotional. “You little brat, your so full of tricks! The title is even very blunt.”

Huang Yu saw Liu Shenghao smile and smiled back. He retorted, “No way! The name is full of meaning!” He thought internally that his Shengsheng was the most good-looking when he smiled. Jfe1sp

Liu Shenghao was feeling a little emotional and wanted to pick up the case, but he remembered what Huang Yu said and restrained himself. He then looked at Huang Yu carefully, like he was looking at a treasure. Finally, he said to Huang Yu, “I’m sorry for how I’ve been recently. I shouldn’t have taken my anger out on you.”

“Mmhm.” Huang Yu smiled and shook his head. “It’s fine. I understand.”

“You understand?”

“Mhm! I understand! I understand the position Uncle and Auntie have in Shengsheng’s heart. I will also work hard! So that they’ll like me!” Huang Yu vowed solemnly. aNg2lu

Liu Shenghao looked at Huang Yu without saying anything. Huang Yu felt something was weird and looked at Liu Shenghao. “What is it? Did I say something wrong?” Huang Yu expressed his fear. No way! What was going on today! Always saying the wrong thing!

“You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that I feel like you think the same way as a little kid.” Liu Shenghao shook his head and continued looking at the “The Life of the Forest and Sun” that Huang Yu had drawn for him.

A little kid, a little kid again. Huang Yu felt his anger come back. Although he knew Shensheng loved him, he always treated him like a kid and thought he was useless, thought he always had to be protected, protected from…

“Shengsheng!” XeBu9D

“Hm?” Liu Shenghao responded, before being spun around by Huang Yu and promptly kissed…

Liu Shenghao looked at the blushing Huang Yu. What was this…

“I have always been a grown up! I am not a little kid! Although there’s not much I can do, and I have a lot of issues, I will work hard. I’ll work hard to not cause trouble, I’ll work hard to make Uncle and Auntie like me. I–”

“Why?” Liu SHenghao interrupted Huang Yu. itEf9Q

“Huh? What?”

“Why do you want to work hard?”

“I want to be together with Shengsheng!” Huang Yu said extremely solemnly.

Liu Shenghao waited for Huang Yu to finish speaking then kissed his forehead. He stood up and laughed. “You really are a little kid.” pRJsM5

“I am not!” Huang Yu jumped up after him.

“Then let me see you push me down” Liu Shenghao leaned back against the table and looked at Huang Yu while teasing him.

“You!!!” Huang Yu angrily charged at Liu Shenghao but was caught and spun around.

“You’re trying to run me over!” W92ebL

“I’m the one who got run over!” Huang Yu covered his nose which had whacked against Liu Shenghao’s chest. “It hurts to death!”

“That’s why I said you’re still a little kid. Just one word is enough to make you to revolt.” Liu Shenghao lifted Huang Yu’s face to look. His nose was a little red. “I’ll put on some ointment for you.”

“I am not a little kid! I am an impulsive youth.” He then looked at Liu Shenghao self-satisfied, but was conquered by his mocking gaze. He immediately lost his momentum.

“Clean up this mess, then I’ll take you home.” Cg4WS1

“Okay!”
