After hearing those words, Meng Yuxiu felt as if he had unintentionally hurt Han Shuo’s male pride again. For a moment, he didn’t know how to comfort him. After a brief silence of a few seconds, he said, “It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.” As he spoke, he tightened his grip around Han Shuo’s waist and continued to kiss him.
“Hehehe, thanks, you’re really considerate…” Han Shuo forced a smile between their lips and tongues.
The two of them lay on their sides on the bed, facing each other. Meng Yuxiu’s hot and suppressed breathing was so close that if anyone were a gay man, kissing someone as pure and exceptional as Meng Yuxiu, they probably wouldn’t be able to hold back.
But Han Shuo was a straight guy. You ask him to do a kissing task, and he could close his eyes and pretend his tongue was a blender, just mixing things up randomly. But his little buddy wasn’t like that; it couldn’t just spring up like a wind-up toy.
To not disappoint his good brother’s high expectations, Han Shuo could only close his eyes and force himself to replay the scenes he had watched in the past in his mind. But the more urgent the time, the more he couldn’t think of anything. His mind was a mess, thinking about white human parts one second and the big black dog chasing him tonight the next. The mix-up led him to think about humans and animals.
Alright, now he was even more deflated, though he hadn’t really gotten up in the first place.
At this moment, Meng Yuxiu was still warmly concerned about his situation. He released Han Shuo’s lips, rested his forehead against Han Shuo’s, and asked expectantly in a slightly hoarse voice, “How is it? Did it get up?”
Han Shuo was frustrated inside. Dude, don’t you know if it’s up or not? You’re so close to me, and mine isn’t a bean sprout.
But Han Shuo replied, “Just wait a bit longer, it’s an old problem of mine.”
“Okay…” Meng Yuxiu patiently waited and continued to kiss his lips.
Han Shuo really wanted to jerk off in front of Meng Yuxiu. He could guarantee that after doing it, he could at least get up to sixty or seventy percent, which would be enough to match his soft and quick deflated guy image. Meng Yuxiu probably wouldn’t mind too much.
But that method wouldn’t work. With Meng Yuxiu’s sensitive nature, he would definitely ask again: Didn’t you say last time that just kissing without touching your butt would get a reaction?
Han Shuo had no choice but to immerse himself in the yellow waste material.
As time passed by the minute, Meng Yuxiu never stopped doing the task, but he still occasionally asked about his situation.
Han Shuo was at his wit’s end, so he had to find a topic to delay, hoping to blur the matter by chatting.
He pulled away from Meng Yuxiu’s deep kiss and turned his lips to the side, “Hey, Meng Yuxiu.”
“Mm?”
“When you went back to school today, what excuse did you give your parents?”
“Same as you, going back to school for tutoring.”
“Didn’t expect a good student like you to lie, huh?” Han Shuo teased with a chuckle, but before he could finish, Meng Yuxiu asked again.
“Did you get a reaction?”
“…” Han Shuo stiffened, “No…”
“It’s okay, take your time.” Meng Yuxiu said considerately, then went back to kissing Han Shuo’s lips.
Han Shuo could only continue to close his eyes and painfully try to make his brain grow to his lower body. Come on, my little buddy, you’re both seventeen, Meng Yuxiu can stand up on the spot, why are you acting like a waste?
At this moment, Han Shuo seemed to understand the feelings of middle-aged men, having to find all sorts of excuses when facing a hungry wife.
It’s either back pain today, sore waist tomorrow, or bad weather the day after. Han Shuo felt he was almost there.
After another ten minutes, Han Shuo was mentally exhausted. He started another topic.
“Hey, Meng Yuxiu.”
Meng Yuxiu, with his eyes closed, mumbled a response between their lips and tongues.
“Were you bitten by a dog today? Do you want me to check for you?”
Meng Yuxiu shook his head slightly.
Han Shuo spoke during the kissing break, “You can’t be careless about this. If you get bitten, it’s over. Don’t let us be kissing and suddenly you start barking.”
Meng Yuxiu couldn’t help but laugh softly, but he didn’t leave Han Shuo’s lips, speaking slowly while sticking close, “I wasn’t bitten, and rabies doesn’t make you bark, it just makes you afraid of light and drool.”
Han Shuo laughed dryly twice, “That’s still troublesome, haha, kissing would need a bib for you.”
Meng Yuxiu’s chest heaved with laughter, but after laughing, he suddenly asked, “Did you get up?”
“…” Seriously, dude, why are you still hung up on this?
Han Shuo said helplessly, “Don’t rush, I’m getting there.”
Meng Yuxiu slightly widened his eyes, with a hint of excitement in his tone, he asked Han Shuo, “You mean, it’s already a little up?”
“…” Han Shuo really wanted to slap his own forehead.
But Meng Yuxiu clearly didn’t understand Han Shuo’s helplessness. Seeing Han Shuo silent, he asked again, why aren’t you speaking?
Han Shuo really wanted to jump out of bed, put on his pants, and run back to his dorm to sleep without looking back.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Han Shuo was so annoyed, he almost forgot Meng Yuxiu’s kindness today and wanted to curse: Dude, are you a hundred thousand whys?!
But he could only choose to roll his eyes straight, and as he did, a sudden flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
Damn! How did he forget this?!
Previously, when Meng Yuxiu couldn’t accept tongue kissing, he taught him to think of his own butt as a girl’s. Now that he couldn’t get a reaction, couldn’t he think of Meng Yuxiu’s butt as a girl’s?
Damn, Han Shuo regretted not thinking of this trick earlier, he wouldn’t have struggled for so long.
Han Shuo acted immediately, his hand reached behind Meng Yuxiu and grabbed his butt.
Meng Yuxiu was caught off guard, his body stiffened, and he didn’t even react for a moment, his voice tightened.
“What… what are you doing?”
Han Shuo: “I might be too tired from collecting waste today, I need some stimulation to get up.”
Meng Yuxiu felt uncomfortable all over, he tightened his grip on Han Shuo’s wrist, frowning, “I’m not used to it.”
Han Shuo clicked his tongue, “Why are you like this? You touched my butt, can’t I touch yours? Be reasonable, will you?”
“…” Meng Yuxiu was speechless, so he could only grit his teeth and endure the strange feeling.
Han Shuo closed his eyes, opened his palm, and not only did he have to move his hand, but he also had to hypnotize himself in his mind.
He had to imagine Meng Yuxiu’s butt as a super beautiful woman’s butt, constantly guiding his thoughts: big butt, plump butt, juicy butt, bouncy and elastic butt. Tsk, even though the butt in his hand didn’t match any of those words, it didn’t matter. Then it’s a perky butt, a firm butt, he wanted to use his five fingers to pinch this firm butt into various shapes!
Here it comes! It was as if he was gradually seeing the light of victory through the clouds, Han Shuo got excited.
Meng Yuxiu couldn’t help but frown, just as he was about to push Han Shuo’s hand away, he suddenly heard Han Shuo’s almost jubilant cheer.
“Damn! I got up!!!”
“I got up!!!” Han Shuo said with a trembling voice, “Quick, quick, Meng Yuxiu, look!”
Meng Yuxiu was stunned, and then Han Shuo grabbed his hand.
For a moment, Meng Yuxiu was also infected by Han Shuo’s mood, his heart slightly trembling, as if he had helped Han Shuo overcome a difficult situation together.
Inspiring!
“You did it.” He couldn’t help but feel happy for Han Shuo.
“Yes!” Han Shuo nodded heavily, damn it, he finally completed the task and could be free!
In the quiet, dark dormitory, the two people on the lower bunk almost beat drums and set off firecrackers on the bed.
Meng Yuxiu couldn’t help but pull Han Shuo’s head closer and kissed him deeply.
Han Shuo was kissed breathless, thinking that he got a reaction, and Meng Yuxiu was more excited than him.
But on second thought, it was understandable. After all, not witnessing his reaction during the task was always a knot in Meng Yuxiu’s heart. Now, Meng Yuxiu probably felt like he had a comrade in arms.
Meng Yuxiu was really very happy because he was surprised to find that although Han Shuo got up slowly, the time lasted longer. He was pleased for Han Shuo’s regained vigor.
So he kissed deeper and heavier.
He didn’t know how long it had been, but Han Shuo heard his breathing getting heavier and suddenly, Meng Yuxiu stopped kissing, and then Han Shuo noticed his body suddenly stiffen.
Then.
Meng: “!… ”
Han: “… ???”
In an instant, it was as if Meng Yuxiu’s breathing stopped.
Similarly, Han Shuo was also stunned.
He seemed to realize what was going on, incredulously reaching out to touch his own leg.
But as soon as he reached into the quilt, Meng Yuxiu, as if greatly frightened, grabbed his wrist tightly, the force so strong it seemed to crush his bones.
“I…” Meng Yuxiu was too ashamed to speak, he could only bite his teeth tightly in the dark.
Han Shuo’s brain was a bit muddled too, noticing Meng Yuxiu’s tense state, he instinctively used his other hand to pat Meng Yuxiu’s hand, “I’ll turn on the light.”
“Don’t…” Meng Yuxiu immediately said.
“It’s okay, I’ll turn on the light, otherwise it’ll get on the quilt.”
Meng Yuxiu didn’t speak anymore, he struggled for a few seconds, then slowly released his tight grip.
Han Shuo crawled to the end of the bed and pulled the light bulb string. After his eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness, he looked down at his own leg.
“…” His brain had just crashed for a moment, now it was back. He almost wanted to curse: Damn, what’s going on? You managed to smear my leg through autumn pants? Used up seventeen years’ worth on my leg, huh?
This would be quite unpleasant for any straight guy, like being accidentally peed on by a dog on the roadside.
However, when he looked up at Meng Yuxiu, he swallowed his displeasure silently.
Meng Yuxiu lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, his clean and fair face now slightly flushed under the dim light, his ears were also red to an unbelievable degree, almost transparent under the light.
He sat in the quilt, his lips tightly closed, his fingers tightly clutching the quilt.
Meng Yuxiu’s hands were very nice, each finger long, probably because of the excessive force gripping the quilt, so each joint seemed very pronounced.
He seemed to be suffering great humiliation, silent, only able to endure it alone.
Seeing him like this, Han Shuo was relieved that he didn’t act out earlier. Just not being hard with him would have taken half a day to coax Meng Yuxiu if he got angry, let alone this situation now.
He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, couldn’t help but praise his own quick thinking.
So he looked at Meng Yuxiu for a moment, then slowly sat over, gently patting Meng Yuxiu’s back in a comforting manner, whispering, “It’s okay, what’s the big deal? Every guy goes through this, you should have jerked off growing up, right? Or do you only jerk off without finishing?”
But Meng Yuxiu still couldn’t accept it in his heart, his peripheral vision slowly moved to Han Shuo’s leg, glanced at it, then quickly withdrew his gaze, as if looking for another second was shameful.
He frowned and said unprecedentedly, “I’m sorry.”
“Hey, what’s there to apologize for? I lost your bike, didn’t you not hold it against me?” Han Shuo thought for a moment, continued to coax, “Besides, I don’t think it’s a big deal, and it’s your stuff, even if it got on my head, I wouldn’t blink.”
Meng Yuxiu suddenly raised his eyes, those long eyes staring tightly at Han Shuo’s face, seemingly shocked by Han Shuo’s words, he slightly opened his mouth, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Han Shuo saw his Adam’s apple move slightly, then saw him stiffly pull his facial muscles and ask, “On your head… it’s okay too?”
Han Shuo laughed, “Didn’t I say it’s okay? If it got on my head, I’d just think of it as shampoo, hahaha!”
“……”
“Alright, don’t dwell on it.” Han Shuo patted his shoulder again, “Do you have autumn pants in your dorm? Change early and go to sleep, I have to continue collecting waste tomorrow.”
Meng Yuxiu stared at Han Shuo’s face for a while, then nodded.
He watched Han Shuo get up, get out of bed, put on shoes, then walk to the washstand to pick up the hot water bottle, pull out the plug, and pour hot water into the basin, then turn his head to ask which towel was his?
Meng Yuxiu’s thoughts were muddled by Han Shuo’s words, he pointed to the blue towel on the rod, Han Shuo saw and pulled down the towel.
Meng Yuxiu sat on the bed, watching Han Shuo wet the towel, slowly wiping his leg, his gaze following the movement of the other’s hand, his pupils trembling slightly.
Han Shuo noticed the gaze behind him, he turned his head to look at the dazed Meng Yuxiu sitting on the bed, teasing him with a smile, “I never dreamed that one day I’d have a man’s stuff on my leg, hehe.”
Meng Yuxiu’s face turned red in an instant.
Usually, Meng Yuxiu was very proud, with a big temper, rarely being teased without retorting, obediently like never before, Han Shuo quite enjoyed it.
He raised his chin at Meng Yuxiu, “Hey, Meng Yuxiu, do you think this counts as giving my first time to you?”
Meng Yuxiu’s heart skipped a beat, inexplicably feeling a strange emotion from the bottom of his heart because of Han Shuo’s playful joke.
And Han Shuo also felt a sense of illusion, to be precise, he felt he was hallucinating.
Since last night’s incident, he noticed something different about Meng Yuxiu, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.
Maybe it was when he woke up in the morning and found Meng Yuxiu lying next to him, staring at his face without blinking, even smiling at him with pursed lips?
Or maybe it was after getting up, Meng Yuxiu unexpectedly took the initiative to help him pour face wash water, even filling the mouthwash cup with water and squeezing toothpaste.
Han Shuo took the toothbrush, suspiciously staring at his face. However, when Meng Yuxiu was stared at by Han Shuo’s eyes, he would quickly shift his gaze as if nothing had happened, only the tips of his ears turning a faint red.
Han Shuo stood in the bathroom, brushing his teeth while pondering, and when he figured it out, he was overjoyed.
If he had known that Meng Yuxiu would become so obedient and well-behaved after last night’s incident, he should have helped him jerk off under the ginkgo tree when Meng Yuxiu got a reaction, instead of mocking him.
That would have saved him from having to please Meng Yuxiu like a grandson for the past few days.
But it’s not too late now, letting Meng Yuxiu dirty his leg in exchange for him not acting like a princess with a temper in the future, it’s a worthwhile trade.
Han Shuo thought of this and happily brushed his teeth.
Yesterday, Han Shuo took the rice from his canteen to the guard room, told the guard grandpa, and the guard grandpa gladly agreed to help cook the rice together.
The dried vegetables he brought last week weren’t finished, and dried vegetables are salty, a little can go a long way with rice, so Han Shuo also gave the dried vegetables to the guard grandpa to heat up.
After washing up, Han Shuo and Meng Yuxiu went to the guard room for breakfast.
The guard grandpa saw Han Shuo and Meng Yuxiu chatting and laughing, and while chatting, Han Shuo leaned over to whisper something in Meng Yuxiu’s ear, and then saw the tall, fair, and handsome male student purse his lips and laugh softly.
The guard grandpa felt something was off.
He ate breakfast while asking, “All the other students in the dorm went back, weren’t you two cold sleeping in your own dorm last night?”
“Not cold, I squeezed into one bed with Meng Yuxiu last night, it was so warm we almost sweated.” Han Shuo said foolishly, “Right, Meng Yuxiu?”
Han Shuo didn’t mean anything else, but in the ears of Meng Yuxiu, who did something bad last night and felt guilty, it was full of different meanings.
He was choked by a grain of rice.
The guard grandpa was shocked, he even stopped eating, worriedly saying, “What? You two slept in one dorm, one bed?!”
Han Shuo and Meng Yuxiu were confused, Han Shuo nudged Meng Yuxiu’s arm, whispered in his ear, “It’s okay, he’s like my brother, he’s got old man gay syndrome.”
Meng Yuxiu nodded in agreement.
The guard grandpa was worried, patting his thigh.
Han Shuo said, “Don’t worry, grandpa, we just slept, didn’t do anything else!”
What could the guard grandpa say, he could only frown and wave his old hand, saying, “Forget it, forget it, it’s your parents and the school’s concern, if you say nothing happened, then nothing happened.”
After breakfast, Han Shuo took Meng Yuxiu and left school to continue collecting waste in the county town.
With Meng Yuxiu joining, the two of them collected from the east to the west of the city, and after two days, the harvest was okay. By Sunday afternoon, Han Shuo and Meng Yuxiu carried the snakeskin bag to the recycling station.
The recycling station owner found an empty spot, untied the snakeskin bag, and dumped everything out.
Han Shuo watched him pick and choose, throwing some useless things aside, feeling heartbroken. In his eyes, it wasn’t just garbage being thrown away, but his money and effort.
“Hey, hey, hey, all these chicken feathers are being thrown away?”
The recycling station owner laughed, “What can you do with those chicken feathers you picked? Next time, you have to collect high-quality ones.”
Meng Yuxiu asked, “What kind of quality?”
The recycling station owner went into the house and brought out a few chicken feathers to show them, “Look, like these, long feathers that aren’t clumped together, these can be used to make feather dusters and shuttlecocks.”
Han Shuo: “Alright, alright, see if there’s anything else you can take.”
Finally, after the recycling station owner finished picking, he weighed everything and took out a few bills from his pocket.
Han Shuo’s eyes lit up when he saw the money, not willing to look away for even a second.
Leaving the recycling station, he found a corner and carefully counted the money he just got. Not much, only three yuan and fifty cents in total.
But for Han Shuo, it had a different meaning. After all, this was the first bucket of gold he earned in two lifetimes, the feeling was indescribable.
Seeing the money, Meng Yuxiu remembered something, he took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was stunned, “What are you doing?”
“Returning your money.” Meng Yuxiu said, “The fare, you should return the fare to your classmate.”
Han Shuo clicked his tongue, pushed his hand back, and scolded, “What’s your deal? Do I need you to return my money? Besides, I still owe you a bike.”
Meng Yuxiu: “That’s a different matter.”
Seeing Meng Yuxiu so stubborn, Han Shuo had no choice but to accept it, he took the money, “Alright, alright, I really can’t do anything with you.”
After accepting Meng Yuxiu’s money, he took out two fifty-cent bills from the money he got from recycling and slapped them into Meng Yuxiu’s hand.
Meng Yuxiu was puzzled, “Why are you giving me money?”
Han Shuo raised his eyebrows at him, “I said you just need to study well, I’ll take care of you in the future, I wasn’t joking.”
Meng Yuxiu lowered his eyes to look at the money, then raised his eyes to ask why.
“What do you mean why, didn’t I say, just because you’re so good to me, I have to be even better to you, isn’t that right? Just take it, don’t argue with me, be good.”
“You should give this money to your brother.” Meng Yuxiu said.
Han Shuo: “Hey, you don’t understand. I can’t give this money to him now, he’ll get suspicious, I have to save it and give it to him before I leave or find a suitable opportunity. Don’t worry, you’re so good to me, we’re from the same place, why separate us, what’s mine is yours, got it?”
“…” Meng Yuxiu didn’t say anything more.
He quietly stood by, watching Han Shuo lean against the wall, watching him count the few obvious bills, counting and grinning happily.
Meng Yuxiu slowly clenched the two fifty-cent bills Han Shuo gave him, feeling slightly moved, he suddenly called out, “Han Shuo.”
“Mm?” Han Shuo was still immersed in the joy of making money, casually responding, “What’s up?”
Meng Yuxiu pursed his lips, “In two months, it’s the final exam, I’ll probably be busy during this time…”
“I know, you said your studies are important, you want to go to college. It’s okay, take your time, I believe you can do it.”
Meng Yuxiu nodded, “Actually, I… I won’t delay my studies even if I’m busy.”
He paused, “Doing other things won’t delay my studies either…”
Han Shuo looked up, seeing Meng Yuxiu’s strange expression and his cryptic words, Han Shuo was also confused.
He dumbly responded, “Oh, okay, I think so too, studying and doing other things don’t conflict, they don’t delay each other, right, you’re so smart, right?”
“Mm.” Meng Yuxiu smiled slightly.
If before, after kissing Meng Yuxiu so many times, there was still a layer of distance between them. But after those two days, Han Shuo felt that they were truly partners who had slept in the same bed, the distance suddenly shortened.
And he also found that Meng Yuxiu was now more and more active in doing tasks, sometimes after evening self-study, when he was still dawdling in the classroom, Meng Yuxiu would even take the initiative to wait for him at the classroom door to do tasks together.
This change made Han Shuo extremely happy.
The bike was stolen, so Meng Yuxiu had to take the bus home too. On Friday after school, Han Shuo slung his backpack and ran to Class One to find Meng Yuxiu.
Meng Yuxiu saw Han Shuo standing at the back door, so he went out and said to wait a bit, he had to clean up because it was his duty day.
“It’s okay, you clean up first, I’ll go to the bathroom, oh, I’ll leave my backpack with you.” Han Shuo handed his backpack to Meng Yuxiu and went to the bathroom on the first floor.
Meng Yuxiu took Han Shuo’s backpack back to his seat, continuing to organize his own desk.
The male deskmate looked at Meng Yuxiu with a smile, teasing, “Meng Yuxiu, is your wife going home with you today?”
Meng Yuxiu paused in organizing his books, slowly looking at the male deskmate.
Actually, at this age, students often tease each other with similar words when playing around, like when a boy and a girl are close or have mutual feelings or a crush, they would say things like your husband or your wife.
Meng Yuxiu also knew that male homosexuality was prevalent in this world, but the word appearing in his world seemed so strange.
He stared at the male deskmate without speaking.
Meng Yuxiu usually didn’t like to talk, Class One or the whole school knew that. Although his behavior was polite and decent, his face was particularly cold, especially when his often emotionless eyes stared at people.
The male deskmate felt his scalp tingle under the stare, he awkwardly laughed and quickly shut up, pretending he just farted, hoping Meng Yuxiu wouldn’t hold it against him.
However, just as he was feeling uneasy, Meng Yuxiu suddenly asked, “What did you just say?”
The male deskmate quickly raised his hand, repeatedly saying, “Nothing! I was talking nonsense!”
But Meng Yuxiu asked again uncertainly, “You said Han Shuo is my wife?”
The male deskmate laughed dryly twice, but the next second he realized that Meng Yuxiu wasn’t angry because of the teasing, he seemed to be seriously seeking an answer.
“Yeah, Han Shuo sticks to you every day, just like your wife.”
“Oh.” Meng Yuxiu withdrew his gaze, continuing to organize his desk.
The male deskmate scratched his head, not understanding the situation. However, when he was about to leave the classroom, he heard Meng Yuxiu ask him from behind, “You mean between me and Han Shuo… Han Shuo is more like the wife?”
The male deskmate turned his head, confused, “Huh?”
Meng Yuxiu was a bit surprised, he and Han Shuo were both men, he didn’t expect that in the eyes of others, he was the one who was the husband, and after the surprise, he inexplicably felt a bit of secret joy. At this moment, Han Shuo came back from the bathroom, greeted Meng Yuxiu’s male deskmate, and sat down on the male deskmate’s chair.
“Are you done?” Han Shuo didn’t care what they were talking about, he urged Meng Yuxiu, “You have to hurry up, or there won’t be any seats on the bus.”
“Okay.” Meng Yuxiu sped up his desk cleaning.
After cleaning up, Han Shuo waited for him to finish the cleaning.
Fortunately, when the two of them quickly ran to the bus stop, there were still two seats in the back row.
Han Shuo’s village was one of the last few stops, because it took a long time to get there, he leaned back in the seat and fell asleep not long after getting on the bus.
And Meng Yuxiu’s village was about half an hour away, when it was almost time to get off, he pushed the sleeping Han Shuo.
Han Shuo mumbled a few times, opened his eyes, and looked at the standing Meng Yuxiu in a daze, “Oh, you’re getting off, right? Oh, then you get off, I’ll continue to sleep.”
Meng Yuxiu watched Han Shuo hug his arms and close his eyes again.
Sometimes he was quite confused, Han Shuo gave him love letters, bought him things, and even gave him pocket money, but sometimes he acted…
Meng Yuxiu couldn’t put his finger on it, especially now when he was getting off, Han Shuo had no reaction at all, making him very depressed. He took one last look at Han Shuo before getting off the bus.
Han Shuo originally planned to continue collecting waste this week, he found that he was lazy about studying, but particularly enthusiastic about making money.
But as the weekend approached, he thought he should go home, after all, he hadn’t been back for two weeks, and to be honest, he missed Han Hong and Han Ting.
Han Ting was lively again, seeing Han Shuo come home, he happily shouted, clinging to him for a hug.
Han Shuo put down his backpack, took out a small bag of candy for Han Ting, and Han Ting’s eyes lit up instantly, he didn’t want his little uncle anymore, just wanted to eat candy.
“You little thing.” Han Shuo ruffled his hair, teasingly scolding, “Candy is better than little uncle, huh?”
“Little uncle is good.” Han Ting clung to Han Shuo’s leg, the next second he was unwrapping the candy.
Han Hong looked at Han Shuo suspiciously, “Where did you get the candy, Xiao Shuo?”
Han Shuo naturally couldn’t tell Han Hong that he bought the candy with the money he earned, otherwise, if his brother knew he secretly collected garbage, he would be heartbroken.
So he made up a lie, “The guard grandpa’s son at school got married, he gave it to me.”
“Really?” Han Hong was half-believing.
“Of course it’s true, why would I lie about a bag of candy?”
Only then did Han Hong smile and say that the guard grandpa at their school was quite nice.
Han Shuo comfortably rested at home for a night, but the next day he started to get busy because Han Hong estimated that it might snow next week, so he had to clean the house in advance, wash what needed to be washed, and dry what needed to be dried.
So the next day, Han Shuo was still lying in bed when he heard Han Hong clanging downstairs, he covered his head with the quilt, and Han Ting ran upstairs to pull his quilt.
“Little uncle, get up!” Han Ting’s childish voice was like a little trumpet, “Dad said get up and clean the house! Dad said the sun is shining on your butt!”
Han Shuo couldn’t sleep anymore, he lifted the quilt, reached out to pinch Han Ting’s cheek, affectionately scolding with a smile, “Always chirping, why didn’t you chirp when you were sick?”
Han Ting grinned and giggled.
When Han Shuo got up, washed his face, and brushed his teeth, Han Hong had already washed a round of clothes, the clothesline under the porch was full.
Seeing him bring down another pile of clothes from upstairs, Han Shuo asked, “Still washing?”
Han Hong: “These aren’t for washing, these clothes are for drying outside, look, your cotton-padded jacket, if you don’t dry it, it’ll smell when you wear it.”
Han Hong walked out of the house while saying to Han Shuo, “Xiao Shuo, later take the quilts from the cabinet to the well to dry, the sun is really good today.”
“Okay, I got it.”
After washing his face, Han Shuo went upstairs to take the quilts from the cabinet, but when he took out one quilt and was about to take the second, he found wood shavings deep in the cabinet.
“Goodness! There’s a mouse nest here.” He cursed, taking out the second quilt, but when he cleared the space for the second quilt, he found some shredded paper inside.
Most likely, the mouse had torn up Han Ting’s workbook and hidden it here. He clicked his tongue while bending down to take out the paper scraps from the wooden cabinet, his fingers suddenly paused.
And a flash of light crossed his mind.
“!” Han Shuo’s pupils slightly contracted.
Could it be… he suddenly shivered, took out all the paper scraps, and hurried to the desk by the window.
Previously, he found the first task in the novel in a mouse hole, and he and Meng Yuxiu always suspected there were other tasks in the novel, but his novel was taken by the mouse, and Meng Yuxiu’s was taken by his parents.
Han Shuo’s fingers trembled with excitement.
But these papers were chewed too small, the largest piece was only the size of a thumbnail, if he wanted to piece them all together, it would probably take a lot of time.
But Han Shuo still spent a whole morning, roughly piecing some of it together.
He stared at the words pieced together on the desk, slowly widening his eyes, and then his expression began to twist.
Because what he pieced together was another sentence.
“Have sex with the key character fifty times, and each time must last no less than thirty minutes.”
