The basketball game ended with the cheers of the students of Jiang University.
Tang Zhou didn’t bother to look at the score, and left the basketball court directly.
Qiao Yuan followed him closely.
On the way, he ran into a group from the basketball club, in which Fu Shen was being helped by his teammates and was jumping forward on one foot.
Lu Ye walked alongside, his face darkening.
Although he knew the players from the Institute of Technology didn’t do it on purpose, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
Moreover, Fu Shen was someone he had forcefully brought in, so he had to be responsible if anything happened.
Lost in these thoughts, his teammates suddenly stopped.
He raised his eyes and saw Tang Zhou’s expressionless face as well as Qiao Yuan, who followed behind with a worried face.
“Why are you guys here?” he asked.
The members of the basketball club all knew Tang Zhou, and originally thought he had come to see Lu Ye. However, Tang Zhou only glanced at Lu Ye and walked to Fu Shen, saying, “Go to the hospital for an X-ray; don’t go to the university’s nurse office.”
The collision he had on the court was not to be taken lightly. Fu Shen’s left foot tripped over the opponent, and it had swollen into a bun. It hurt like hell even with the slightest touch, causing piercing pain.
Fu Shen stood on one foot, drenched in sweat after all the exercise. A bead of sweat rolled down from his temple to his chest, and his lips, pale from the pain, looked fragile and disheveled.
But he looked at Tang Zhou with a smile and said, “Okay.”
Tang Zhou decisively said, “Lu Ye, stay with them. I’ll take Fu Shen to the hospital.”
Pi Xiu’s trio arrived just in time, and upon hearing this, they immediately said, “Tang Shen, I’ll go with you!”
Li Fengyu glanced at Fu Shen’s ankle and exclaimed, “It looks painful.”
Liang Chen calmly said, “I’ll go back to get Shen Ge’s documents and then head to the hospital.”
Registering at the hospital would definitely require documents for identification, a detail Tang Zhou overlooked in the chaos earlier.
“On the way, let’s go back to his place first and then head to the hospital.”
Lu Ye remained silent throughout, watching as the group walked away.
Tang Zhou had driven over to the scene, and the group quickly arrived at the hospital.
After the X-ray showed no issues in his bones, it was determined to be a sprained ligament, requiring some rest for it to heal and be fine.
Even so, it significantly affected Fu Shen’s daily life and work.
Liang Chen casually suggested, “You may find it inconvenient during this time so, why not move in with us? We can take care of you together.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Pi Xiu vigorously nodded, “Shen Ge, just move in with us. If you need anything, just let us know, so you can rest assured during your recovery.”
Li Fengyu nodded, “It’s just a bit inconvenient to go to the company. How about we jointly buy an electric scooter? We can use it to commute and take Shen Ge to classes and work”
“Good idea!” Pi Xiu gave a thumbs up and asked Fu Shen, “What does Shen Ge think?”
They were so enthusiastic and thoughtful in their planning that Fu Shen felt warmly inside and was about to agree.
However, Tang Zhou’s cool voice interjected, “I’ll drive him.”
Fu Shen was slightly surprised, “Aren’t you… moving out?”
He asked carefully, but with a hidden surprise.
Tang Zhou, focused on driving, didn’t catch the tone in his voice and replied, “Your injury is my responsibility.”
If it weren’t for him helping Lu Ye to persuade Fu Shen, Fu Shen wouldn’t have ended up injured.

Fu Shen smiled, “It was my own carelessness—”

Back at his residence, Lu Ye had already taken care of the university’s affairs and rushed over with Qiao Yuan.
Seeing Fu Shen, his expression was solemn.
“The last shot was very impressive, thank you very much.” He felt a bit awkward, coughed lightly, and said, “I’ll have someone bring a wheelchair over in a while.”
Fu Shen: “……”
It’s just a sprain, not a disability. It’s not that serious, really.
As he was about to refuse, Tang Zhou spoke before him. “After the basketball game is over, focus on the movie.”
Lu Ye nodded. “Don’t worry.”
“Anything else?”, Tang Zhou looked at him askance, clearly trying to get rid of him.
Lu Ye: “……”
Fine, he’s in the wrong, he’s leaving.
As soon as Lu Ye and Qiao Yuan left, a wheelchair was brought over. Fu Shen sat down in it, realizing it was much more convenient than hopping on one foot.
Pi Xiu patted Fu Shen on the shoulder. “What do you want to eat for dinner? I’ll bring you something from the cafeteria.”
Tang Zhou: “No need, I’ll order food.”
“……”
Tang Shen is so almighty and domineering!
“It’s just a minor injury, I’m fine. You guys can go back now,” Fu Shen said helplessly.
It wasn’t like he hadn’t been injured before, so spraining his ankle is nothing serious.
If you didn’t know, you’d think he couldn’t take care of himself.
Liang Chen looked at Tang Zhou. “Then I’ll leave Shen Ge to you, Tang Senior.”
Tang Zhou had a stern expression on his face since school, and only nodded in response.
Once everyone had left, the living room was left with only Tang Zhou and Fu Shen.
Fu Shen was still wearing his sweaty basketball jersey, and didn’t really care about changing it. He said, “I can take care of myself. You don’t need to delay because of me—”
“It’s not a delay,” Tang Zhou interrupted. “Do you want to take a shower? I’ll help you get your clothes.”
He pushed Fu Shen towards the guest room.
“Tang Zhou, are you unhappy?”
The tall boy squeezed into the wheelchair, backwards with all his might, trying to look at Tang Zhou’s face, looking a little clumsy.
Tang Zhou’s footsteps paused for a moment, “No.”
He pushed Fu Shen into the room.
It was his first time entering Fu Shen’s bedroom; it was clean and tidy, and the sheets were folded neatly.
Tang Zhou walked towards the wardrobe, but suddenly, Fu Shen grabbed his wrist.
His amber eyes were like a mirror to a deep pool. The hand that held his wrist didn’t seem to be exerting any force, but it was tense.
“I’m sorry.” His bangs hung down over his forehead, and he looked as dejected as he felt.
Tang Zhou was taken aback. “Why are you apologizing?”
Fu Shen’s eyes were filled with aggravation, “I made you unhappy.”
Tang Zhou: “…” Why are you sad if I’m unhappy?
He tried to pull his wrist away, but was unsuccessful.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Tang Zhou shook his arm, signaling for him to let go.
Fu Shen slowly let go of his hand, narrowed his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. Although he didn’t say anything, his image just made people feel that he was very sad.
Tang Zhou felt guilty towards him, and even if he knew he was pretending, he still explained, “I’m just blaming myself.”
Fu Shen was puzzled. He raised his head and saw Tang Zhou’s eyes somewhat avoiding his.
“What are you blaming yourself for?”
Tang Zhou gave up and said, “I shouldn’t have convinced you to participate in the match.”
It seems that bad things always happen to Fu Shen when he runs into him and Lu Ye.
Fu Shen was surprised. “That was something I volunteered to participate, and the injury was an accident. It has nothing to do with you.”
He had no idea that Tang Zhou actually thought that way.
No matter how much others say, it’s useless if he doesn’t want to do it. He won’t do it.
No one knew how happy he was when he saw Tang Zhou lose his composure and stand up on the court.
Tang Zhou’s eyes were filled with struggle. “You didn’t want to do it in the first place.”
It was his selfishness that helped Lu Ye convince Fu Shen. Perhaps Fu Shen also had to give in because of his investment.
Just like when he agreed to be his assistant.
The high and cold Tang Shen didn’t notice at all that this kind of tangled and contradictory mentality was something he had never had before.
Fu Shen noticed the subtle difference, and felt quite amazed. He felt some hidden sense of excitement and anticipation in his heart, like he had seen the entrance to a treasure trove from far, where there was wealth within his fingertips reach.
He looked at Tang Zhou, his eyes deep and distant, as if he was serious and joking at the same time. “It’s precisely because of you that I’m willing.”
The seemingly ambiguous words made Tang Zhou’s entire body freeze in place, his heart skipping a beat for a moment, full of panic, fear, and uncertainty of what to do, but no disgust or resistance.
He blushed, deliberately pretending not to understand: “Oh.”
When he met Fu Shen’s smiling eyes, he quickly shifted his gaze. “I suddenly remembered that I had something else to do. You can take the clothes yourself, I’ll go back to my room first.”
He fled in a panic.
Fu Shen’s lips curled into a light smile.
Spraining his ankle in exchange of seeing Tang Shen so flustered was quite a bargain.
He happily took his clothes and went to take a shower, but just as he reached the bathroom door, Tang Shen, who had fled in panic, turned back.
Facing his puzzled gaze, Tang Zhou uncomfortably said, “The bathroom is slippery, it’s inconvenient for you on one foot, so I’ll help you.”
With his help, Fu Shen’s movements were indeed much easier.
He placed his arm around the young man’s thin shoulders, almost wrapping Tang Zhou’s entire body in his arms. If he gently tilt his head, he could touch the soft sideburns of the young man.
In the thicket of hair, the jade-white ears were small and delicate. They were both slightly red, perhaps from exertion or from shyness.
Fu Shen wandered closer without thinking, sniffing the fragrance of his shampoo, but he didn’t expect the exhaled breath to tickle Tang Shen’s ears, making them move involuntarily.
Fu Shen: So cute.
Tang Zhou helped him stand up, “Call me when you’re done. I’ll go out first.”
“Wait,” the warm palm wrapped around his wrist, and the tall boy smiled exceptionally handsomely, “I forgot to get the towel. It’s in the third cabinet on the left.”
Tang Zhou felt his temperature heated up by him, and he reflexively withdrew his hand. “Hmmm.”
He put on his cold mask again and, expressionless, brought Fu Shen a towel, but then stopped at the door.
In the bathroom, Fu Shen was undressing with his back to him. The red jersey was halfway off, revealing the man’s strong and lean waist and well-defined back muscles.
Compared to Tang Zhou’s slender figure, someone like Fu Shen could indeed be described as ‘a man’.
Despite being two years younger than him, there was no trace of it in his appearance.
The jersey was thrown into the laundry basket, and Fu Shen turned slightly to the side, revealing his six-pack abs. His broad chest muscles were also smooth and well-defined, and his collarbones were straight and prominent.
Tang Zhou wanted to look away, but his eyes couldn’t help but linger.
Fu Shen smiled and stretched out his arm. “Can you give me the towel? and thank you, senior.”
Tang Zhou frowned and handed it to him, then left the bathroom with the same frown on his face.
He felt like something was off with him. He was actually bewitched by a man’s body.
Could it be that he really likes the same sex?
That doesn’t seem right either.
He, Lu Ye, and Qiao Yuan often went swimming together, and Lu Ye had a good physique, but Tang Zhou had never felt his heart race when he saw him.
Lost in thought, Tang Zhou sat down on the sofa, rubbing his face and trying to drive away the recent images of male allure.
He attempted to convince himself.
Considering the dream’s context, he was already in his thirties, always busy with work. Plus, he wanted to find someone he liked and who also liked him back, so he had never been in a relationship, and even masturbating was something relatively rare for him to do.
Since it was energy that had never been released, when suddenly enticed by male allure, it was normal to feel confused.
Perhaps he could find some resources to relieve this tension.
Tang Zhou was a man of action. He immediately went to his bedroom to search online, but the results were surprisingly unhelpful.
He vaguely remembered Lu Ye mentioning something about seeds, but now there was nothing?
Net cleansing is definitely too powerful.
Despite searching for resources, Tang Zhou didn’t forget to pay attention to the movements next door.
Twenty minutes have passed, but Fu Shen still hasn’t made a sound.
Tang Zhou is familiar with Fu Shen’s lifestyle, and it usually wouldn’t take him more than twenty minutes to take a shower.
He couldn’t have slipped in the bathroom, would he?
Tang Zhou immediately got up and left his bedroom. He came to Fu Shen’s room and saw that the bathroom door was still closed, and he couldn’t help but come closer and say, “Fu Shen.”
A muffled groan suddenly rang out.
It fell into the ears listening through the door.
It was slightly hoarse, hot, and carried a sense of relief and languor.
Tang Zhou’s mind went blank as he stood frozen outside the door.
oh… OOH!!! 🫣😳
I appears Tang Zhou called his name at just the right moment.
