“Yeah, yeah, city folks spend over two thousand bucks on face creams, tsk tsk. Unlike us, Sister Xiu, why don’t you let us see and confirm if that 2000 Yuan product is sprinkled with gold dust or not.” One person led the way, followed by a burst of cheering.
Facing everyone’s envious and jealous stares, Wang Xiu proudly declared, “It’s nothing, just a little gadget. If you want to see it, I’ll show you.” With that, she raised her hand and forcefully tore the box in half.
Immediately, under everyone’s expectant gaze, a black box fell out with a ‘click’.
“What is this?”
Wang Xiu, who had expected gold and silver jewelry, felt her smile freeze for a moment when she saw the black box. However, she thought it was a gift from her son, so even if it was considered worthless in the city, it would be like a treasure in her eyes. So she picked it up again.
Upon picking up the black box and opening it, everyone who had craned their necks to catch a glimpse finally recognized the item— it was a disc.
“What does it mean to send a disc back?” someone wondered.
A young man who had worked in the city for a while immediately answered, “Is this supposed to be a CD?”
“CD?” Many people still couldn’t grasp this new term.
“Young people in the city like to capture pictures and other things, then save them to the CDs to keep as mementos or give them as gifts. These CDs can be played on TVs, and they are quite expensive.”
Upon hearing this, many people’s eyes lit up. In the minds of most villagers who had never left the mountains, anyone who could appear on TV was seen as glamorous and beautiful— definitely a world apart from them.
After listening to the explanation, someone turned to the young man who had spoken earlier and said, “Hey, don’t you have a CD player at home? Bring it out and let us see how ordinary people like us can appear on TV.”
“Yes, yes, I also want to see how people like us look inside the TV.”
“Sister Xiu, let me have the privilege to make you see and hear, what this Kid Zhiyu has recorded for you.”
…
Initially, Wang Xiu was a little unhappy, worried that these clumsy folks might break things. But with the flattery and praise pouring in, she realized she couldn’t handle this gadget properly on her own. If she messed it up, it would be a waste.
Reluctantly, she handed the black box to the person, urging them, “Okay, but please be gentle. Don’t break it. I plan to keep it and pass it on to my grandchildren.”
“Alright, I’ll make sure that you can pass it on for three generations, no, at least seven generations.”
Amidst laughter and jokes, the only CD player and color TV set in the village were brought out by everyone. As if paying homage to a dignitary, they all found their spots, grabbing small benches. Of course, the best spot was reserved for Wang Xiu.
As the disc was inserted, a burst of static snowflakes-like screen appeared before the picture quickly turned to color.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes widened, including the “blessed” Wang Xiu herself, who had no idea what was recorded inside.
Once the colored frames appeared, a man’s face came into view.

“Hey, Hey, it’s that child, Zhiyu.”

“Qtja lr tf vblcu?”
After nearly ten seconds of watching, with only that face visible, someone couldn’t help but ask.
“He’s building up the mood, you…” What do you understand?
Those few words were cut short, as when the camera finally zoomed in, a low gasp escaped the speaker, and a vulgar and brutal sentence escaped the previously silent man’s lips.
“Xiao Shengyu, I’m fucking the person you’re thinking about right now on your bed. You have no idea how hungry and thirsty his body is, and how great his moans sound!”
As the next second played out on the TV screen, the young girls who were watching could no longer bear the embarrassment. They covered their faces in shame and let out screams of disbelief.
Because that scene was clearly like a restricted adult film.
Moreover, the person being pinned down by Lu Zhiyu was in a miserable state, covered in injuries, and bloodied all over. Due to the angle, his face couldn’t be clearly seen, but through the flat chest and certain features, it was clear that he was a man.
Torturing a man… a man?
In an instant, the viewers, who had initially planned to watch the entire scene as if watching something featuring the prime minister, were completely shocked.
“Oh… my god!”
“Zhiyu, this child… Ugh, this beast actually has such perverse tastes.”
“Whose child is that? No one should let this animal get away with it, he’s worse than a beast!”
…
As for Wang Xiu, the moment she saw the clear image on the TV screen, heard the yelling and scolding in her ears and witnessed her son engaging in inappropriate behavior with an underage person, she couldn’t handle it. The rush of blood to her head overwhelmed her, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The parents who had just praised her child a moment ago, regardless of their gender, immediately recoiled in disgust. They seemed afraid that such a pervert would influence their own homes.
This situation truly embodied the saying, “When the truth comes out, everyone turns against you!”
…
Because he would be leaving tomorrow to participate in a week-long match abroad, Xiao Shengyu returned home early today, wanting to spend some time with Su Miao, who was alone at home.
Carrying the farewell gift he had specially prepared, Xiao Shengyu cheerfully called out to him as soon as he opened the door, “Xiao Miao, come out and take a look. I have something for you…”
Before the words could even fall, he sensitively caught a whiff of gas in the air. The string in his mind suddenly snapped, and in the next second, he threw aside everything in his hands and rushed towards the kitchen.
As he reached the doorway of the kitchen, a distraught Xiao Shengyu saw the person lying unconscious on the kitchen floor, eyes closed tightly.
“Xiao Miao!!!”
He hurriedly ran over, tightly closed the valve on the gas cylinder, and swiftly opened the kitchen window. Then he carried the person, who was unconscious, into a room that was free of the gas smell.
After laying him on the bed, he tremblingly placed his hands on the person’s face and called out anxiously, “Xiao Miao, Xiao Miao, Xiao Miao…”
This was one of the rare moments in Xiao Shengyu’s life when he felt genuine fear. He was afraid, afraid that this fragile person who seemed like he would vanish at the slightest breeze would never wake up and leave him like this.
Meeting someone as adorable, beautiful, and kind-hearted as Su Miao had been the luckiest thing in Xiao Shengyu’s life. He couldn’t bear to see him suffer even the slightest bit more.
Just as Gu Weizhou regained consciousness from his drowsy state, he felt a drop of cold liquid brush past his lip. The slightly chilly sensation adhered to his lips, and he unconsciously extended his tongue to lick it.
The taste was salty and bitter as if the bitterness reached its peak.
As he savored the lingering taste on his tongue, Gu Weizhou raised his arms and tightly hugged Xiao Shengyu’s neck. He buried his head in the man’s arms, suppressing the overflowing emotions, and spoke in a trembling voice, “Shengyu… I’m scared.”
“Well, I’m here, I’m right here.”
Suppressing countless sorrows, Gu Weizhou parted his lips and replied, “Do… do you… like…”
But before he could finish the sentence, he suddenly recalled the insecure questions he heard before, the countless doubts he had faced. Perhaps because he was afraid of hearing a negative answer, he restrained his trembling and replaced his words with a more humble question.
“Have you ever… liked me?”
Have you ever liked me? I don’t ask you to like this imperfect me now, but during those past moments, have you ever liked me?
Xiao Shengyu lowered his head slightly when he heard the tentative words with endless caution and trembling coming from his arms.
What he saw was the young man with his head buried in his arms, holding him tightly as if trying to catch the last hope in his life, clinging to him desperately.
The boy was always restless, anxious, and afraid. Was it because he hadn’t done enough to earn his trust and make him feel safe?
Thinking about this, Xiao Shengyu suddenly felt a sharp pang of pain in his heart. It wasn’t a strong pain, but rather like a thorn lodged in the softest part of his heart, causing a tingling sensation with every breath.
Leaning down, he pressed a gentle and tender kiss, filled with infinite tenderness, on the top of the man’s head.
He said, “Xiao Miao, I love you.”
Whether it was then or now.
A soft voice sounded, and Gu Weizhou, whose lower lip had been bitten until it bled, let out a whimpering cry for the first time.
[Sob… Liar, you don’t love me. If you loved me, you would have slept with me.]
[…Can’t you think of anything other than this matter?]
[Have you ever heard a saying?]
In a faint voice, he continued, [Men are creatures that think with their lower body, so love begins with the body…]
With an indifferent expression, No. 001 replied, [You said just two days ago that love begins with appearance.]
[…You misheard.] Gu Weizhou didn’t even blush when lying.
[You win. I can’t compete with you.]
[Because I am telling the truth.]
[No, it’s because you are more shameless.] No. 001 replied with an indifferent face.
Xiao Shengyu continued to hold the person in his arms, gently caressing their trembling back and wiping away the tears they shed. Both of them remained in this position for a long time.
At night, clutching the man’s shirt tightly, Gu Weizhou pleaded, “I… don’t want to sleep on the bed.”
Sob… I’m almost dying. If you don’t make a move now, we’ll have to wait until our next life to be a couple of plastic lovers again.
However, in response to his hint, Xiao Shengyu kissed the man’s face and said, “Good boy! Sleeping on the ground is uncomfortable.”
With trembling lips, Gu Weizhou turned around helplessly.
Don’t even let me have a little fun before I die, Xiao Shengyu. I hate you!
In the darkness, as he looked at the person curled up on the bed not far away, Xiao Shengyu’s eyes showed a hint of confusion. He didn’t know when it had started, but he always felt a deep sadness and complexity in Su Miao’s clear eyes, emotions that he couldn’t fully understand.
Every time he tried to grasp them, they slipped away, and today’s incident only added to his doubts.
If he didn’t had any intention to cook, so why was the gas valve open? The windows, which were usually left open for a long time, why were they all closed today? And why does Xiao Miao always resist when I ask him to sleep on the bed these days…
Too many questions crowded his mind, and for a moment, Xiao Shengyu even had the illusion that something had happened in a place he couldn’t see. But as he was about to ponder over what it could be, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in the darkness.
“Is the match… important?”
Oh, he’s do a lot of bad things, I feel it
