GDRG CH34
Shi Xueqing stayed in bed for the entire day after returning to the north.
Eating, sleeping, editing photos, posting on Moments, posting on Instagram… Shi Xueqing was full of energy, starting his own business. The trip to Hawaii was rendered by him as if it were the best in the world.
Finally, he didn’t forget to deliberately show off that diamond-studded Chrome Hearts necklace.
The cross shone with silver light, appearing in Shi Xueqing’s return selfie. However, he, who loved to expose his collarbone, didn’t expose it this time; the necklace lay on his shirt.
No way, his chest was full of kiss marks. This was probably the price of receiving the necklace.
While harvesting countless likes, Brother Balenciaga also sent a message to Shi Xueqing. Seeing the red dot in the notification bar, Shi Xueqing smiled slightly, deciding to be magnanimous to the loser.
“Seeing you didn’t post on Instagram for the past few days, I thought you changed. Didn’t expect you were editing and selecting photos.”
Shi Xueqing smiled faintly and didn’t reply. But he believed Brother Balenciaga had already seen his online non-reply.
…Although he really wasn’t editing and selecting photos in the past few days. Just had no strength.
Because of Brother Balenciaga’s message, Shi Xueqing rarely thought of his relationship with Xing Jun again.
Their dialog box stopped at the last conversation.
“I’m home 5295”
“Mn. I’ve arrived too.”
Then nothing.
Thinking that he still had to go to Los Angeles later, lying in bed for a day, Shi Xueqing suddenly felt a bit daunted.
He thought, maybe I shouldn’t actively mention going to Los Angeles to Xing Jun for now.
Whenever Xing Jun comes to call him, he will move then. Shi Xueqing would always subconsciously delay when disaster was imminent.
Just that plans change faster than changes. Just this afternoon, Shi Xueqing received a new message.
The message was sent by that training camp head coach. After contacting on LinkedIn, she added Shi Xueqing’s WeChat.
Today, she sent a message to Shi Xueqing, saying she went to school during the day and found Shi Xuelan.
And confirmed their situation with her.
Shi Xuelan is Shi Xueqing’s sister. Looking at those three words, Shi Xueqing was a bit dazed for a moment.
“Thank you. So, she is attending that training camp, right? Can I send the training camp fee to you?” Shi Xueqing’s typing hand was trembling a bit.
“No need. Your sister is excellent. There is a scholarship.”
Looking at that message, Shi Xueqing’s eyes were a bit red.
“Just that phones are not allowed during the training camp. Your sister has to wait until the training camp ends to add your WeChat. However, she wrote a letter to you.”
The training camp teacher took a photo of that letter and sent it to him.
Rather than a letter, it was more like a note, hastily torn from a homework book. Although it had changed a lot, some familiar handwriting could still be seen.
“Brother, don’t worry about me, I’m doing very well at school. Teachers and classmates are very good to me. I also try to stay at school during holidays and not go home. You also be well abroad!”
“119, 123, 206, 200, 162, 200”
After seeing that string of familiar numbers, Shi Xueqing’s nose turned completely sour. This string of numbers let him know that the person who wrote the note to him was his sister Shi Xuelan.
“119, 123, 206” are the RGB values of sky blue (Xuelan), “200, 162, 200” are of violet (Xueqing).
Their biological father was a painter. When he was alive, he taught the two children these two sets of numbers.
After he died, they still remembered it.
Shi Xueqing sniffled. The training camp teacher was called Jiang Zhu; she was really a good person.
Before, the stepfather caused trouble in between, and Shi Xueqing went abroad early, so there was no contact information between the siblings.
Now, the clouds have cleared to reveal the moon.
While grateful, Shi Xueqing asked again: “My sister, are her grades good?”
“Her math grades are very good. You don’t need to worry. Are you in the US? Later when she gets a scholarship, she can also go over to study.”
Shi Xueqing nodded vigorously. Jiang Zhu couldn’t see his movement; only he saw his own head nodding bit by bit above the screen.
He put down his phone and walked to the balcony. The sky of City M was full of stars, seemingly eyes smiling at him.
Facing the starlight and night color, he thought, he must bring his sister over to study.
As long as there is…
His heart sank a little. Just then, his phone vibrated.
Shi Xueqing looked down. Soon, his eyes widened a little.
It was the money Xing Jun wired to him.
Arrived.
At the same time, he also saw an email he had ignored.
Xing Jun bought him a plane ticket from the north to Los Angeles.
First class.
The Bay Area is two hours behind the north. At 11:30 p.m., Xing Jun finished another day’s work.
Reasonably speaking, he didn’t need to work this late. After discovering Xing Jun was still online on Teams at 11 p.m., his collaborators abroad felt very surprised.
Xing Jun thought there was no way. He was suspicious, liked to do everything himself, meticulous, a typical self-disciplined person. Moreover, he felt this European order had great potential, and in the future, might become a new breakthrough growth point for his company.
Even staying up late, he had to lay a good foundation. The family property he snatched from his biological father and stepmother must become bigger and stronger in his hands. This was not only for money but also a kind of self-actualization beyond the instinct of self-preservation.
Otherwise, he would always harbor the insecurity of being framed again, and the drifting feeling of being a minority in a foreign land.
And, being alone in the Bay Area, he had nothing to do anyway.
Sitting in front of the computer, Xing Jun thought through the work done today carefully again. He had to go to Los Angeles at noon tomorrow, so he had to ensure everything was on the right track.
Unconsciously, his head started to hurt again. Xing Jun thought, I’m going to have insomnia again.
Sure enough, he felt no sleepiness after lying on the bed.
Once insomniac, messy things would float in his head. For example, that villa in Los Angeles that hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, for example, that blue Bentley that hadn’t been washed for a long time.
For example, Shi Xueqing, whom he was still pondering how to make a fool of just a few days ago.
Xing Jun closed his eyes, thinking it should be almost three o’clock at Shi Xueqing’s place. After returning from Hawaii, he added the time of that small northern city to his clock list.
Two hours ahead. While he had insomnia, Shi Xueqing should have already fallen asleep.
It would be great if I could also fall asleep heartlessly under any circumstances like Shi Xueqing.
Hazily, he seemed to smell Shi Xueqing’s scent again. The long-absent drowsiness finally welled up in his heart. Xing Jun closed his eyes, relaxed his body, just before falling asleep.
The phone suddenly vibrated desperately.
Xing Jun: “…”
In the middle of the night, must be an emergency message. He sat up quickly, picked up the phone, and was stunned after seeing the caller.
Too late to think why Shi Xueqing would call him an emergency call, he answered immediately.
“Shi Xueqing?”
“Brother Xing, we meet the day after tomorrow, right?”
Shi Xueqing’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xing Jun: …
Actually just for this matter.
Through the radio waves, Shi Xueqing’s voice was refined but couldn’t hide the excitement. The ending of every sentence was a bit floating compared to usual. As if Shi Xueqing was stepping on clouds talking to him.
No way, thinking of being able to accompany him to Los Angeles, is Shi Xueqing this happy?
Happy to the extent of calling in the middle of the night.
Finally about to fall asleep, but woken up by a trivial phone call, Xing Jun should have been a bit headache-induced and irritable.
But after sensing the joy in Shi Xueqing’s voice, an inexplicable feeling suppressed these displeasures.
Fortunately, Shi Xueqing called late at night only because he was happy.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Shi Xueqing.
Vague thoughts scattered before they could be captured. Xing Jun only said lazily: “The plane is at noon the day after tomorrow, is there enough time?”
“Of course, it’s not in the morning.”
Shi Xueqing’s tone was brisk like a kitten that caught a fish from a fish tank.
Thinking of being taken shopping for luxury goods, so happy.
Humph.
But Xing Jun smiled imperceptibly. He looked out the window; dark clouds covered the moon, only the surveillance equipment in the yard emitting faint blue light in the night.
But he abruptly felt that this night, there were also stars twinkling. If not in the sky here, then in the sky over at Shi Xueqing’s side.
“You…”
“Mn?”
“Nothing. When you come over, dress a bit nicer.” Xing Jun swallowed back that inexplicable sentence, “Going to take you shopping.”
Just now, he actually wanted to ask Shi Xueqing how the night view was over there.
“What kind counts as nice?” Shi Xueqing asked him.
“Think about it yourself.” Xing Jun pretended to be at leisure.
Thinking about it, Xing Jun felt it was almost four o’clock at Shi Xueqing’s side, so he said: “Alright, go to sleep. Don’t let me see you with two big dark circles on your face when I see you.”
“Oh.” Shi Xueqing’s voice was obedient, “Good night.”
The call ended.
The night, already difficult to sleep in, suddenly became even harder to endure. Lying on the bed, Xing Jun suddenly wanted to see Shi Xueqing very much.
Hope the night in Los Angeles must have many stars. They can go to the yard to watch together after doing it.
Los Angeles will definitely have stars.
After all, that is the City of stars.
Only in this way can Shi Xueqing’s excitement for the upcoming meeting in the microphone not be let down.
Of course. Xing Jun thought when putting down the phone, maybe doing it in the open air in the yard would also have a different kind of fun.
The appearance of starlight hitting Shi Xueqing’s bare back must also be very moving.
In the small town two time zones away, Shi Xueqing put down his phone an hour later.
Why so excited that I can’t sleep for half the day. Shi Xueqing sighed.
He clicked on the picture Jiang Zhu sent him again, looking at that line of words over and over.
Jiang Zhu also said that she knew Shi Xuelan’s head teacher, a strict middle-aged woman. She would tell Shi Xuelan’s head teacher about Shi Xuelan’s matter, and in the future, the two of them would help look after his sister.
The worries were completely resolved. Shi Xueqing was in a cheerful mood; finally, he didn’t have to worry about how his sister was doing anymore.
What he had to do now was to dig for money, dig for money incessantly. Not only dig enough for his own schooling expenses but also dig enough for his sister’s schooling expenses. Moreover, he wanted to live extravagantly, happily, and high-class, like every one of his rich classmates.
Knowing clearly that Shi Xuelan would not be able to add his contact information until at least two weeks later. Shi Xueqing still couldn’t help looking at the contact column to see if a new red dot appeared.
He waited for WeChat contacts for a while, and looked at the history of the bank account for a while.
In the message bar, the notification that Xing Jun sent him one hundred thousand dollars for tuition shone brighter than all the stars.
He told Xing Jun his tuition was fifty thousand, didn’t expect Xing Jun to round it up directly. At the beginning of being a sugar daddy, Xing Jun was really a good rich guy.
The night sky was densely covered with dark clouds. Shi Xueqing thought, everyone says Los Angeles is the City of Angels. I have been in the US for so long, always active in the east and central parts, haven’t been to Los Angeles yet.
Hope the angels can grant his wish, letting him dig a lot of money this trip.
The night wind blew away the dark clouds. When the first starlight fell on Shi Xueqing, Shi Xueqing had a dream.
In the dream, the sky of the City of Angels was full of stars.
Just a few nights of affection were not enough for Xing Jun to send him a few million. Shi Xueqing made up his mind in the dream. There are three years left until graduation; he must make Xing Jun be dug by him for fully three years.
Going to Los Angeles is a good opportunity. He must make Xing Jun be bound to him tightly in this trip.
The gold digger’s brain was firing on all cylinders in front of one hundred thousand dollars. Shi Xueqing, who got rid of worries, became more proactive than any moment. He woke up very early, scrolling through Xiaohongshu while pondering what he should do as a man to make a man like Xing Jun be hooked by him a bit more tightly.
They say men understand men best. Shi Xueqing had a complete idea at noon that day.
He called an Uber and went straight to several shops in the city.
