The two legs in front of him were so white they were almost blinding… long and beautiful. Li Wu really did start massaging Shu Xian.
Shu Xian calmly accepted Li Wu’s massage service. After all, he was going to log off in the end anyway, so he might as well enjoy the protagonist shou’s service first, haha.
Li Wu gently kneaded him, and only when he reached the top of the foot did he notice a bruise.
That bruise must have been from when he kicked him this morning, right?
He really is delicate… he can even hurt himself when kicking other people.
After only a short while, the long legs had turned a little red, as if something had happened to them.
Shu Xian leaned comfortably on the sofa, squinting.
Li Wu’s Adam’s apple moved, his eyes darkened, and he continued his movements.
From the calf to the thigh, he slowly worked his way up to the base of the thigh.
Shu Xian shuddered and slapped away Li Wu’s massaging hand, saying, “What are you doing?”
He had to be sick to ask the protagonist shou to massage him… he was almost touching there.
Li Wu’s innocent eyes showed a trace of confusion. “What’s wrong, brother? Am I not doing it well?”
Shu Xian pinched the bridge of his nose, sighed, and said, “It’s fine. You don’t need to massage me anymore.” Right, what could an eighteen-year-old kid possibly understand?
With that, he put on his slippers, thump-thump-thumped up the stairs, and left.
Watching that panicked fleeing back, he sneered inwardly. Shu Xian is actually kind of cute.
For several days, no tasks appeared, and Shu Xian was getting a little bored lying around at home.
Li Wu would occasionally come over to curry favor with him. If this kept up, how could he bear to take action on the later tasks?
『006, do I have to wait until one of the four pursuers appears before a task shows up?』 Shu Xian asked in his mind.
『In theory, yes. After the protagonist shou meets a pursuer, your harassment, host, makes the protagonist shou sad enough to seek comfort, which indirectly helps warm up their relationship.』
If they didn’t show up, he could just go find them himself.
『Can we find out where those four men are?』
He could just take Li Wu to meet them directly.
『Host, that only works if the protagonist shou meets them on his own. We don’t have permission to see their exact locations.』
Right. They were just vicious side characters pushing the plot along. If they had that kind of permission, the task would have been finished long ago.
“Brother, why are you sighing?” Li Wu had just come down from upstairs and saw the person on the sofa sighing.
Shu Xian glanced at him. This Li Wu was getting more and more used to calling him “brother.”
“It’s nothing. When you reach my age, you’ll understand.” Shu Xian stood up, shook his head in an intentionally solemn way, clasped his hands behind his back, and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Wasn’t this guy only one year older than him?
Li Wu watched him.
Shu Xian stood in front of the refrigerator, picked up a carton of milk, and drank it in big gulps.
With every sip, he clicked his tongue like an old man drinking liquor.
“Hiss… ha.” It was as if the milk were burning his throat.
His fluffy head bobbed up and down. So cute.
Li Wu walked over and reached out his long fingers to wipe the milk from the corner of his mouth.
“Brother, if something is bothering you, you can tell me.”
Shu Xian leaned back and touched the corner of his mouth that had just been wiped.
How rude. Li Wu was standing way too close.
The atmosphere turned a little stifling. Shu Xian wanted to leave, and his tone unconsciously grew heavier.
“What does a little brat like you know about a Lord’s affairs?” After saying that, he even rolled his eyes at him.
So fierce, so cute.
Li Wu wrapped his arms around him and refused to let him leave. Shu Xian’s back was pressed against the refrigerator.
“Brother, tell me about your worries.”
How was he supposed to say it? His worry was you.
“It’s nothing. I’m just a little bored staying at home.”
The original owner didn’t have many friends. The few he did have were all using him as a cash cow and coaxing him to pay the bill.
The male lead still hadn’t appeared, and he didn’t know how much longer he would have to stay at home.
Always on standby, all for the sake of completing the task.
What a miserable wage slave.
“Then, brother, how about I take you out to have fun tomorrow?”
Have fun doing what? You, protagonist shou, had better not get too close to that vicious side character.
『Host, agree to him! The protagonist halo will make him attract those four men. Maybe you’ll run into them.』 006 hurriedly reminded him.
Shu Xian received the reminder and quickly replied, “Okay then. Little brother, make sure you plan something fun for me.”
“Okay, brother. I’ll definitely arrange it properly.”
Seeing Shu Xian happy, the gloom in Li Wu’s heart faded a lot as well.
“Mm, then thank you, little brother.”
Shu Xian gently patted his head. How had Li Wu grown taller again in just a few days?
That really annoyed him. Shu Xian ruffled his hair, messing it up.
“Brother, I’m not little.” Li Wu grabbed the hand that was making trouble on his head.
Shu Xian’s hand was so small and soft.
“You’re the little brother, so of course you’re smaller than brother, hmph.”
Shu Xian tried to pull his hand back, but couldn’t. This kid was pretty strong.
“Let go.”
“Brother’s hand is so small.” Li Wu played with his fingers, placed his own hand against it, and with a gentle squeeze, wrapped his entire hand around Shu Xian’s.
He showed no sign of letting go.
Shu Xian tugged a few more times, but still couldn’t get free.
That was too ambiguous, wasn’t it?
He was straight!
Shu Xian frowned and looked up, meeting those eyes full of possessiveness. In the next instant, they were replaced by clear, innocent eyes.
Had he just seen that wrong?
“Brother, rest early. I’ll take you out to play early tomorrow.” Li Wu let go of his hand and said.
Shu Xian’s attention was instantly diverted. “None of your business! I’m older than you.”
Shu Xian puffed out his chest and said, full of swagger.
What was with Li Wu’s tone, like he was taking a child out to play?
It was really irritating.
“Fine, fine. Brother is the biggest.” Li Wu’s tone was somewhat helpless.
How could he be so different from the him in his previous life?
Would he… frame him again?
Li Wu seemed to think of something, and his fierce eyes darkened.
He hoped tomorrow’s performance from brother wouldn’t disappoint him.
Otherwise, he would eliminate him too.
No one in this life could stop him!
Morning…
“Shu Xian, get up.” Li Wu knocked on his bedroom door.
“We’ll go out in the afternoon…”
Who goes out to have fun first thing in the morning?
Shu Xian shouted toward the door, then pulled the blanket over his head and stopped paying attention to him.
“Shu Xian?”
“Brother?”
Li Wu called out a few more times.
“Brother, if you don’t answer, I’m coming in.”
Li Wu opened the door.
On the big bed, the comforter was pulled over the boy’s head, wrapping him up completely. Only a pair of long, beautiful feet were exposed.
“Brother.” Li Wu took hold of his fair, tender foot and gently rubbed it.
Shu Xian quickly pulled it back under the covers and kicked out.
Damn mosquito, get lost.
“Hiss… brother, it’s me.”
Li Wu was kicked right off the bed.
Shu Xian jolted awake and sat up.
If the protagonist shou ended up seriously hurt by that kick, those four pursuers would beat him to death.
“Ah, I thought you were a mosquito. Are you okay?” Shu Xian hurried out of bed to help him up.
“I’m fine.” Li Wu rubbed his chest. The boy in front of him looked like he had thin arms and thin legs, but that kick had actually been pretty strong.
“Should I call a doctor to check on you?” Shu Xian asked worriedly.
“It’s fine, brother. I’ll wait for you outside.”
All right, all right.
