Chapter 29: 29

Chapter 29

Where was this going?

He Shen held turn his hand and held him, he coaxed. “I won’t leave. I’m not going anywhere.”

His voice was originally lower than his peers. At this moment in the middle of the night, it was more like the gentle strum of a cello, with a strong soothing power.

Qiao Shao calmed down a little. Although his eyes were still a little vacant, they weren’t as terrified as before.

“I …” He whispered, trying to say something.

He Shen heard the hoarseness in his voice. “Would you like to drink some water?”

Qiao Shao grabbed the hem of his shirt tightly and shook his head, “No.”

He Shen smiled, and his lowered eyes were full of tenderness. “Okay, then should we go back to sleep?”

“En.” Qiao Shao responded softly, still seeming unwilling.

He Shen took off his slippers and went to bed, his right hand holding his head and his left, gently patting Qiao Shao. “Sleep.”

In fact, Qiao Shao might not have woken up at all. He felt the warmth of someone beside him, heard the low breathing sound of the other person, and slowly sank into dreamland.

He Shen didn’t say anything anymore, he just looked at the sleeping boy under the pale moonlight.

The dark hair was stained with sweat and was pasted against his smooth forehead. His thick lashes were curled up. When they trembled gently, they looked like a startled butterfly wings, as if it would bloom splendidly in the sun in the next instant.

He Shen watched quietly and a sudden thought came to his mind—

If this were a girl, he must be…

En, so what if he’s a boy?

He Shen chuckled lowly and lay back.

What was he thinking? He’s just a small child. Was he some sort of beast?

He sighed softly, pressing his arms over his eyes. But couldn’t press down his rapidly beating heart.

This time, He Shen also fell asleep.

For nearly a month, he had been getting by on only three or four hours a day of sleep. His mind was also constantly on alert. Under this kind of circumstance, anyone would be tired.

He normally managed with his strong willpower, but this time because of his inexplicable worry, his mind wandered and he lost concentration.

He slept until it as already bright outside.

He Shen woke up first, squinting at his phone.

——08: 08.

The numbers were good, but unfortunately he was about to lose tens of thousands of yuan.

There were only a few hours left until the agreed delivery time. Although the framework was already set up, there were still many details to be verified. In addition to testing and bug fixes, this time…

He Shen rubbed his temples and got out of bed lightly.

He went to the balcony and made a phone call.

On the other end of the phone was the irritated voice of someone who was just rudely woken up. “Who has the nerve to call so early in the morning?”

He Shen looked at the busy street. “The sun is already shining on your ass.”

“F*ck,” Lou Xiao wanted to get a knife and hack him to pieces. “You’re f*cking done already so go to bed!”

“Why would I be looking for you if I were already done?” He Shen said, “Get up and come over to my place.”

Lou Xiao now couldn’t get back to sleep even though he wanted to. In one hell of a bad mood, he asked, “What’s the matter? I can’t do your job.”

He Shen confessed, “I accidentally fell asleep last night, and now I have a lot of work. I have to finish it this morning.”

Lou Xiao said, “Then get to work.”

He Shen said, “So I want to ask you to do me a favor.”

Lou Xiao looked half-dead. “What?”

He Shen spoke as if it were a matter of course. “Come and keep my child company. I’m going to earn some money.”

Lou Xiao was quiet for a long time. “What!”

The dignified school tyrant, East High’s most aggressive man, the strong man famous throughout all the high schools in the city, was woken up so early in the morning to accompany a child? ? ?

If there were a third person present, he would surely have been scared out of his pants.

“You f*cking …” Lou Xiao cursed for a while, and was then suddenly sobered up.

He remembered something He Shen had just said—he accidentally fell asleep last night.

The school tyrant suddenly became clear-headed.

Last night?

Accidentally?

Fell asleep!

Lou Xiao calmed down, he asked in an inconceivable tone of voice: “You … uh … slept last night?”

He Shen pinched between his eyebrows and said, “I didn’t mean to fall asleep. He pulled me in and wouldn’t let go. What could I do?”

The school tyrant’s facial expressions were going out of control. “Wouldn’t let you go?”

Was that kid so wild?

“Yeah,” He Shen’s lips hooked up. “He acted really spoiled.”

Lou Xiao: “………”

He Shen didn’t dare delay any longer. He told him, “Bring him some breakfast, I won’t be eating.”

Lou Xiao sat on the bed and doubted life. “En.”

He Shen said, “I’ll lock the study door. Don’t let him in.”

Lou Xiao: “En.”

Although he didn’t ask, He Shen explained. “I’ll be distracted if he comes in. There are still tens of thousands of yuan left for this order, it’ll be a pity to throw it away.”

“By the way, if he asks, tell him I’m playing a game so he won’t worry.”

The school bully was completely expressionless. “En.”

He kind of felt like he was being fed full of something, but he wasn’t a dog and he didn’t want to admit it.

When Qiao Shao got up, it was already half past eight.

How did I sleep for so long?

Qiao Shao was a little hesitant. He vaguely remembered that He Shen came in last night and took off his earphones, and then … he couldn’t remember it clearly.

Qiao Shao knew about his ailment and was a little worried that he had scared He Shen.

He got out of bed and put on his shoes, and when he walked out the door he saw the school tyrant.

Lou Xiao had just entered the room and saw the sleepy-eyed little shorty. His head was full of—‘Lao He slept with him, slept with him, with him, him’.

Qiao Shao was stunned. “Lou Xiao? Are you here to find He Shen, he …”

“He asked me to buy you breakfast.” Lou Xiao put down the things on the table.

Qiao Shao blinked.

Lou Xiao said, “There’s an event in his game. So don’t bother him in the morning.”

What ‘so that he wouldn’t worry’? You’re just afraid telling Qiao Shao the truth would make him feel guilty.

After all, it was tens of thousands of yuan. He Shen’s one night of sleep was quite expensive.

Qiao Shao was stupefied. “He went to play games again?”

Lou Xiao felt that this was wrong. Playing games as soon as he woke up. A slag man is truly a slag!

But it has nothing to do with him so he stayed within the script. “The weekend in-game events are more important.”

Qiao Shao glanced at the closed study door, speechless. “… OK.”

“Come and eat,” Lou Xiao paused, and said, “If you’re not comfortable, eat and go back and rest.”

Qiao Shao thought he was referring to his sprained ankle and said, “It’s okay.”

Lou Xiao said inwardly, ‘I don’t understand your world, if you say it’s okay then it’s okay.’

Qiao Shao asked Lou Xiao, “Have you eaten already?”

Lou Xiao said, “I’ve eaten.”

Qiao Shao gave an ‘oh’ and looked at the study door again.

Lou Xiao said, “Lao He said he won’t eat. His time is limited.”

Qiao Shao said nothing. He opened the plastic bag and saw a bowl of brown sugar millet porridge, a bowl of red date and lily porridge, a cup of soy milk …

Why was it all liquid food?

And it was either brown sugar or red dates, did he look like he lost blood?

But the school tyrant came to deliver him breakfast in person and Qiao Shao wasn’t picky.

He said, “Thanks.”

Lou Xiao answered, “You eat, I’ll have a smoke.”

Qiao Shao’s pajamas were loose and slack, and he was afraid that he would see some strawberries, purple berries, blue berries …

After breakfast, Qiao Shao cleaned up briefly, put on just one earphone and started to do the problems.

After all, Lou Xiao was still there. It wasn’t polite to have both earphones on.

Lou Xiao smoked a half pack of cigarettes and saw him so well-behaved. He said, “Lao He’s probably gonna be done by noon. I’ll go back first.”

Qiao Shao nodded. “Okay.”

Lou Xiao sent a message to He Shen before leaving. ’I’m leaving first’.

Originally, it was okay for two boys to be in the same room, but now…

Brothers and wives should not mix, so as to avoid any rousing any suspicions.

After a few hours, He Shen who was playing the game seriously had yet to show up.

Qiao Shao not only finished the homework for each subject, but he also worked out a few questions from the Mathematics Society.

It’s just a little bit difficult … he worked very hard.

‘Rrriiinnng’, the alarm went off.

Qiao Shao knew very well that you needed to strike a proper balance between work and rest. He set himself an alarm according to the class hours, and after “every class” he had to get up and move around for ten minutes.

When he looked at his watch, it turned out to already be eleven o’clock.

It’s time to rest.

Qiao Shao put down his pen and picked up his mobile phone to send a message to grandpa and granddad.

Granddad should be abroad. He sent a message briefly explaining his situation.

Who knew that Granddad still answered within seconds. “En.”

Qiao Shao had to say one more thing, “Granddad, rest early. Good night!”

Granddad reply was concise but quick, “En.”

Qiao Shao didn’t reply, fearing that he might disturb his rest.

Grandpa was in the country and so there was no time difference. Yang Xiaolong kept trying to make a video call to his grandson.

Qiao Shao typed, “My roommate is sleeping and he might be disturbed by the noise.”

Yang Xiaolong could only give up.

The grandpa and grandson talked for a while. Yang Xiaolong was pleased to learn that Qiao Shao had made a good friend.

Qiao Shao heart gave a ‘thud’.

Yang Xiaolong said, “I think I saw Lao Chen’s grandson driving a good sports car yesterday. It was an electric model, very environmentally friendly.”

Qiao Shao: “…”

“Oh, your classmate may not have a driver’s license,” Yang Xiaolong said. “But it’s okay, I’ll send it over first, and later on …”

Qiao Shao interrupted quickly. “No!”

Yang Xiaolong said, “Then how should we do it? Between friends …”

Qiao Shao knew very well how to handle his grandpa. “I already sent it!”

Yang Xiaolong felt it was a pity. “Okay … but when you have the opportunity, bring your friend over so that we can meet him. I will send him a meeting gift.”

Qiao Shao answered perfunctorily, “Okay, when I get the chance …”

In the study, He Shen, who was about to finish his work, sneezed.

He Shen, who was busy all morning for tens of thousands of yuan, didn’t know what he had missed…

At twelve, the two had lunch.

Qiao Shao mocked him, “You’ve worked hard.”

He Shen, who really had worked hard, said, “It’s OK.”

He took a nap last night, and his efficiency was good this morning.

Qiao Shao rolled his eyes. “No need to write your homework?”

He Shen said, “Show me yours.”

Qiao Shao had on an ‘I knew it’ expression. “There’s a lot of homework, I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish copying all of it.”

He Shen didn’t bother explaining, saying, “It’s okay, I’ll just take a look at it.”

To check how much the little shorty got wrong.

Qiao Shao thought about how this guy had been abandoned by the teacher even to the extent that he needn’t hand in his homework. He felt helpless. “Do you hate studying that much?”

They were now good friends so it was only right for him to be concerned about the other.

He Shen said, “I don’t hate it.”

Qiao Shao said in earnest, “Our job is to learn. And it’s not that you can’t play games, but don’t delay your work.”

He Shen took a bite of food. “En, you’re right.”

Qiao Shao felt that he was just humoring him, but he still wanted to persuade him. “If I remember correctly, next Friday will be the monthly exam. With your attitude to studying like this, aren’t you just aiming to lose?”

He Shen looked up at him, “That’s not necessarily the case.”

“Not necessarily the case, my ass. Are you looking down on me?” Qiao Shao said, “I work hard to do the problem exercises day after day and I’d still lose to you, who doesn’t even do his assignments?”

He Shen: “…” He couldn’t bear to deal a blow to the little shorty.

Qiao Shao thought he was introspecting and softened his tone. “From today on, let’s study together, okay?”

This order was done and there was no other work for the time being.

He Shen no longer needed to stay up all night.

But working hard to study—if he doesn’t plan to take the university entrance exams in his freshman year, he really doesn’t have to work that hard.

Teacher Qiao was angry. “I made a serious bet with you, are you just trying to humor me?”

He Shen coaxed him, “Hey, hey, hey, I’m being seriously.”

Qiao Shao: “Then study well from now on!”

He Shen: “OK.”

Qiao Shao said, “I will accompany you to do your homework after dinner.”

He Shen: “…”

Qiao Shao stared at him.

He Shen said helplessly, “Didn’t you finish yours already?”

Qiao Shao said, “I still have the questions from the Mathematics Society.”

He Shen: “… Okay.”

They didn’t go anywhere in the afternoon, Qiao Shao fought to the death with his math problems, and the top of his pen was almost bitten off.

He Shen was also absent-minded. He would look at him from time to time, always thinking in his mind— this child is so small, just when will he grow?

Qiao Shao noticed his gaze and glared at him. “Answer your own homework!”

He Shen: “Oh …”

Qiao Shao continued to bite his pen …

By the time boarders were supposed to return to school, Qiao Shao had answered three questions, and He Shen estimated that he got two and a half questions wrong.

As for He Shen …

Qiao Shao sighed, “That you’d written anything is already progress.” In any case, he’d answered half a Chinese exercise sheet.

He Shen comforted him, “I have time in the evening and I’ll write some more.”

Qiao Shao looked at his paper and said, “You have such beautiful handwriting. You shouldn’t waste your talent.”

His writing looked like it was filled with expression. It was obviously written with a cheap ball-point pen, but it was precisely because it wrote thickly that he was able to write it gracefully like a writing brush.

He Shen looked at his paper and said, “You write well.”

Roundish and soft, quite cute.

Qiao Shao glanced at him. “Don’t think I can’t hear the ridicule in your words.”

He Shen sincerely said, “I’m telling the truth.”

Qiao Shao compared the handwriting of the two …

Telling the truth, my ass!

Anyone who sees it will say that one was a college student and one was a primary school student!

Qiao Shao put away his paper. “I’m going back to school!”

When the homework was due on Monday, the representative of the Chinese class saw He Shen’s homework.

Her mouth was wide open in shock and her hands trembled.

Qiao Shao saw He Shen really had finished writing his homework and was very pleased. “Not bad.”

He Shen smiled at him.

The Chinese class representatives no longer thought about accepting their homework. She returned to her seat, took out her mobile phone and sent out a bunch of messages.

“F*ck! He Shen did his homework!”

“Sister, wake up. Does the god of learning even need to do his homework?”

“It’s true! An honest to god Chinese homework sheet! The handwriting is so handsome that it can be framed!”

“?????”

“Is this month’s language exam going to be super super super super (multiply by N times) difficult?”

“Comrades, prepare for the language exam! Friday is going to be a fierce battle!”

“What’s the f*ing use? Even our god He Shen is taking this seriously. Just what kind of hell is this month’s language exam!”

The author has something to say: Hey, Shen Ge’s identity exposure is near at hand.

He Shen: Was I wearing a sockpuppet? Oh, it was my wife who feared that I would get cold and put it on me.
