UCTOOT CH139.2: Extra

Father Shi hurriedly poked his head out from the door, holding a bunch of celery: “Oh right, Xie Xun, that tea cake and porcelain you gave were too expensive, too expensive. Next time, just bring yourself, don’t give these things—”

Xie Wuchi: “It’s only proper. According to custom, I should bring a token of appreciation for Uncle and Auntie. It’s not much, I hope you accept it. Only if you accept it will I feel at ease.”

Father Shi: “This, you’re making Uncle and Auntie embarrassed.”

Making what? Is there going to be back and forth?

Shi Shu moved his gaze away from the TV, scratched his fluffy soft hair, and turned to look at his dad. Shi Lun glanced at him and looked away.

“…?”

“Eat up, eat up, freshly bought grapes and blueberries.” Bai Mo wiped her hands, smiling, and said intentionally or unintentionally, “Our Xiao Shu, having just started university three months ago, unfamiliar with the place and people there, has relied on your care?”

Before Xie Wuchi could speak, Shi Shu said first: “Mom, I told you, my feelings for him aren’t just a day or two. We traveled to ancient times—”

Bai Mo stumbled: “Shi Shu, you—”

Shi Shu: “Really, Mom, when have I ever lied to you?”

Bai Mo could barely walk steadily, holding the back of the sofa with one hand: “Mom didn’t ask how you met, Mom didn’t say anything, don’t rush, don’t talk childish nonsense.”

Shi Shu couldn’t help laughing: “Hmph, you don’t believe me, I’ll tell you later.”

Bai Mo frowned: “You child, Mom isn’t scolding you, yet you make excuses.”

Shi Shu let Xie Wuchi watch the game and went to the kitchen himself. Father Shi was washing shrimp and removing veins: “No, you…”

Shi Shu: “…”

Shi Shu and his dad stared at each other for a while. Shi Lun looked distressed: “I raised you for eighteen years, you got into sports university, you’re handsome too, can’t you find a girlfriend?”

“…”

Shi Shu: “In that environment at the time, really couldn’t find one.”

Shi Lun: “Useless. When your dad was young, walking two laps on the playground, the line of people chasing me reached France.”

Shi Shu: “There were girls chasing me too, bringing two kids, asking me to marry into their family (matrilocal).”

Shi Lun: “You.”

Bai Mo frowned, taking a plastic bag: “Stop talking about him, hurry up and wash the vegetables.”

Shi Shu didn’t care: “Besides, where is he lacking? Is he bad?”

Shi Lun: “Is it a question of whether he’s bad or not? Is he 1.9 meters tall?”

Shi Shu: “Yes.”

Shi Lun: “You—how do you two date? Don’t think I haven’t heard of male homosexuals.”

Shi Shu walked to the fridge, making room, and yawned. Shi Lun’s majestic face asked in a whisper: “Is the three thousand living expenses I give you a month not enough?”

Shi Shu: “Enough.”

Shi Lun: “Then why are you doing this kind of thing? Did you eye that watch on his wrist? That leader in our unit who donated several buildings to the university wears that watch. Donated several hundred million. How do you know this kind of person?”

Shi Shu: “Anyway, the situation was very complicated then, can’t explain in a few words.”

Shi Lun said: “You don’t want to suffer any hardship in this life, do you?”

Shi Shu: “………………”

Zihan, why do you talk just like Du Zihan?

Shi Shu quickly ran out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa: “Bro, when we go back, let’s go to Beihang University, go find Zihan, okay?”

Xie Wuchi withdrew his gaze: “Okay.”

Shi Shu: “Good! Need to re-acquaint with Zihan.”

Shi Shu peeled a grape for Xie Wuchi, then returned to the kitchen, circling around Bai Mo.

Lunch was eaten amicably. Both parents stared at Shi Shu worriedly. Bai Mo even blamed it on: “It’s all your fault, insisting Xiao Shu go into sports. Must be because he was too tired before.”

Shi Shu laughed “Hahahahahaha!” several times, lowered his head to eat, not knowing what to say to his parents.

Although very sudden for the parents, the family maintained a superficial friendliness without collapsing, and were accepting reality.

After eating, since they were going to school in the afternoon, Shi Shu prepared to take Xie Wuchi out to play. At the door putting on shoes: “I’ll take him out for a walk, stroll around our neighborhood.”

Bai Mo nodded: “Okay, go ahead, you young people go have fun. Coming back tonight?”

Shi Shu: “Don’t know. Tang Hui sent me a message just now asking me to go out with him. He’s back on break too.”

Bai Mo: “Go play, ah, whatever works.”

Shi Shu took Xie Wuchi out. Outside the complex was Binhe Road, a winding river lined with willow trees, clear water. Not far along the way was a large shopping mall. Shi Shu prepared to walk towards the subway station: “There’s a zoo, museum, stadium, mahjong parlor, internet cafe, mall, amusement park, park, ancient style street… several options for you to choose, which one?”

Xie Wuchi: “Hotel.”

Shi Shu: “Is there a hotel option?”

Xie Wuchi glanced along the street, his tone flat: “The others are boring. To kill time with you, I’d rather stay in bed and do it with you all afternoon, feeling intimacy through skin-to-skin contact.”

Shi Shu: “………………”

Shi Shu: “Xie Wuchi, you…”

A bicycle rode past with a ding. Shi Shu stood under a tree: “Huh?”

Shi Shu’s handsome face turned to him, and after a long while said: “Forget it, let’s go.”

Shi Shu thought again: “But it can’t be near here, too many acquaintances here.”

Xie Wuchi took out his phone and made a call: “Okay, I’ll arrange it.”

Shi Shu grabbed his hair. After waiting less than a moment, a Phantom drove up the street. Seeing Xie Wuchi, they called “President Xie.” Obviously someone sent by the branch office here, helping to open the car door: “Please.”

Shi Shu was used to Xie Wuchi’s channels and got in the car with him. The driver recognized Xie Wuchi’s expensive clothes but was very curious about Shi Shu, a pure college student, and took a couple more looks.

Shi Shu: “…”

Shi Shu only knew the destination was a hotel. After getting off, suited doormen escorted them, private elevator, a group of people nodding and smiling to lead the way, asking no questions about Xie Wuchi bringing someone in, disciplined and silent.

The hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows offered an open geography and excellent view. The suite was neat as new, emitting a faint scent of fragrance. Shi Shu was looking at the scenery downstairs. From this hotel, one could see the most luxurious scenery of the city, the distant square spires pointing straight to the clouds.

Shi Shu turned back. Xie Wuchi held newly delivered condoms in his hand and said: “To the bed.”

The room was lit with warm lights. Shi Shu didn’t expect the result of coming home would still be getting a room with Xie Wuchi.

Shi Shu was placed on the bed. The light was soft and warm. Xie Wuchi took off his clothes, his skin hot like silk. Shi Shu hugged him, slowly feeling his heat transferring to himself.

The hotel’s perfumer earned tens of thousands an hour; the air was constantly filled with a faint aphrodisiac scent. Sweat slid down Shi Shu’s forehead, the snow-white sheets kicked to the foot of the bed long ago, the mattress rising and falling at a fast frequency.

“Ah…” Shi Shu scratched several bloody marks on his back.

For several hours in the afternoon, Shi Shu had been in bed with Xie Wuchi, trying many ways of love.

Shi Shu panted, lying on the bed. Xie Wuchi’s voice was behind his ear, husky: “Being in bed with me, isn’t it more fun than the youth projects you mentioned?”

Shi Shu: “Xie Wuchi, you…”

[Censored Content]

Shi Shu whimpered, slender fingers tightly gripping the quilt, his healthy fair shoulders and neck turning dark red.

…

The sunlight through the floor-to-ceiling windows gradually deepened to orange. Shi Shu slept on the bed for a while. When he woke up again, Xie Wuchi was sitting by the bed, one hand pillowing Shi Shu’s back, the other typing a reply to a message single-handedly, his brow reflecting the dim light.

Shi Shu suddenly felt a sensation: opening his eyes to see him was happiness.

Shi Shu slept a bit more. Hearing a message notification, Xie Wuchi said in his ear: “That childhood friend of yours, Tang Hui, is asking when you’re coming out to eat.”

Shi Shu: “Where are they?”

Xie Wuchi: “Says eating at 6:30, then going to a bar.”

Shi Shu was still groggy, his face gently cupped: “Isn’t he very innocent? Why does a childhood friend go to bars every few days?”

Shi Shu: “…He goes, I don’t go. I only went once, and that was because his dad asked me to find him and bring him home.”

“Going tonight?”

Shi Shu: “Do you want to go?”

“I don’t care.”

Shi Shu grabbed one of his hands and put it by his face. Xie Wuchi leaned down and nuzzled the tip of his nose.

“No rush, sleep a bit longer.”

Xie Wuchi lay back on the bed and pulled Shi Shu into his arms. Since Shi Shu fell asleep, upon waking he would occasionally feel disoriented, unable to distinguish between ancient and modern times. But the moment he saw Xie Wuchi, his heart seemed to calm down immediately.

While Shi Shu still couldn’t open his eyes, Xie Wuchi put on his T-shirt and jacket for him.

He almost carried him into the private elevator, then into the car. Shi Shu was still sleeping.

The lights outside the window turned dark. The car roof pattern was intricate. A gust of autumn wind blew in, and Shi Shu finally opened his eyes. The car was stopped at a smoky snack street. The road was brightly lit with barbecue stalls everywhere. When this car drove in, people around turned their heads.

As soon as Shi Shu got out, he saw Tang Hui waving at him, along with several other boys from his class, and quite a few girls. Seeing the girls, Shi Shu paused.

Xie Wuchi: “What do you mean?”

“…” Shi Shu, “Let’s go.”

Xie Wuchi: “Later, no need to say boyfriend. Tell close ones, don’t tell distant ones. Better to protect yourself.”

Shi Shu walked closer, and Tang Hui hurriedly hugged him: “Long time no see, Young Gang Leader. Is Teacher Bai doing well?”

Shi Shu pushed him away: “She’s very well, teaching every day—how many times have I said don’t call me Young Gang Leader. Let me introduce my friend, Xie Xun.”

Everyone wasn’t very calm when Shi Shu came over, and when Xie Wuchi walked over, the group immediately became restless. Tang Hui looked at him: “Damn, big handsome guy.”

Shi Shu sat in a chair and ordered two more dishes. Xie Wuchi sat beside him, surveying the environment of the barbecue stall with no emotion on his face.

Shi Shu tore two pieces of paper and wiped the table clean in front of Xie Wuchi. Tang Hui just saw it: “That car belongs to your friend?”

Shi Shu: “Don’t know.”

“Holy crap, Phantom.” Among the boys at the table, those with better family conditions could recognize Xie Wuchi’s clothes and shoes. A few stood up to offer cigarettes: “Bro, smoke?”

Xie Wuchi sat in the chair, raised his hand: “Don’t smoke, pass.”

Tang Hui asked: “Where did you meet this friend?”

Shi Shu: “From near my school, came to my house to play for a few days.”

“6.” (Slang for impressive/smooth)

Shi Shu originally thought meeting old friends would return him to the simple happy times of the past, but suddenly, Shi Shu felt he was already next level… Sure enough, having worked in ancient times for several years, returning home couldn’t be without traces.

However, the night breeze was cool. Shi Shu grilled fish and meat on the rack himself, putting the cooked food into Xie Wuchi’s plate: “You eat, you eat, you eat.”

Seeing this, Tang Hui also grabbed an oyster: “Bro, you eat.”

Shi Shu blocked Xie Wuchi’s bowl directly with his hand: “What do you want to do?”

Tang Hui: “Aren’t you doing the ‘you eat you eat you eat’ thing?”

Shi Shu: “Go away, or I’ll throw your bowl too.”

Tang Hui: “Damn? What does that mean?”

Shi Shu: “Are you crazy? Mind your own business regarding us.”

Tang Hui almost died laughing, brought the oyster back to his plate, and ate it himself.

Shi Shu: “…Baffling.”

Xie Wuchi lowered his eyes. Someone like Tang Hui who hung out in bars with the opposite sex often was indeed smart, spotting something fishy at a glance. Shi Shu, unexpectedly, didn’t notice the probe at all, looking protective over his food.

Can’t fake love, can’t fake not loving.

Xie Wuchi used tongs to pick up meat and placed it in Shi Shu’s bowl: “Eat it yourself.”

The meal was almost finished. Shi Shu felt he was showing Xie Wuchi the culture of roadside stalls. After eating, Tang Hui called everyone to go to a bar. Shi Shu had passed the stage of being curious about debauchery; no sensual stimulation compared to Xie Wuchi beside him. Shi Shu didn’t care, but Xie Wuchi obviously went often and said: “Let’s go.”

After arriving, a few who just started college stingily ordered two cases of beer and a fruit platter.

Xie Wuchi glanced at the price list and said lightly: “This is your high school student socializing?”

Shi Shu: “………………”

What are you doing? Don’t come if you don’t want to, leave.

Shi Shu: “I don’t drink.”

Xie Wuchi: “What are you doing in a bar if you don’t drink?”

Shi Shu: “I’m here to make up the numbers. If I didn’t want to time travel, would I go to ancient times to make up the numbers?”

Xie Wuchi curled his lips into a smile: “The alcohol here is too poor, I won’t drink either.”

He sat in the booth, casually scanning everyone in the space. Shi Shu felt Xie Wuchi’s gaze was calm and sharp: “Being looked at by you once, any social background is revealed.”

Xie Wuchi: “Pretty much.”

A singer came to the bar to sing, not particularly famous. Although Shi Shu said he wouldn’t drink, he still drank a few cups while chatting with Tang Hui. After staying for about an hour, he left the bar with Xie Wuchi.

Shi Shu said: “Let’s go home, it’s getting a bit cold outside!”

It wasn’t far from the bar to home, a ten-minute walk. Just a few steps in, Xie Wuchi held his hand and put it into his coat pocket.

Walking back together, Shi Shu said: “I don’t want to go anywhere recently, just want to stay at home.”

Xie Wuchi: “That’s good too, I’ll keep you company at home.”

Shi Shu: “Do you have work these two days?”

Xie Wuchi: “According to the plan, practically every moment. I’ll have a video call with the secretary team when we get back, and after that, I’ll rest with you.”

Shi Shu dragged out his tone: “Okay.”

Autumn nights were starting to get cold. As soon as they exited the elevator and walked to the door, Shi Shu hurriedly said: “Xie Wuchi come quick, register your fingerprint!”

After Xie Wuchi registered his fingerprint and they entered, his parents weren’t home. The two ate and went for a walk together.

Xie Wuchi brought his laptop and had a video conference by the coffee table, speaking all in English. He listened to the reports from the video, occasionally replying with a few sentences, his expression very calm and decisive, leaving no room for others to object.

Shi Shu went back to his room first. Feeling exceedingly bored, he clicked into the video site he usually played on.

Every day, many people urged: [Streamer, Streamer]

[Streamer, haven’t posted a video in days? Even the production team’s donkey wouldn’t dare rest like this?]

[Streamer, are you missing?]

Shi Shu initially used this account to post videos of himself running on the field, but showing no face gave zero traffic; showing his face made it explode immediately. This led to Shi Shu having to show his face to get people to see the awards he won.

Shi Shu was also very shy. Every time he clicked on the livestream and saw the comments, his face flushed hot.

How long would Xie Wuchi’s meeting take? Shi Shu thought about it and simply started a livestream, usually leaving in less than ten minutes each time.

People trickled into the livestream room, attracted by this sense of liveliness.

[Streamer, you finally remembered your account password?]

[? Looked up to see who’s streaming, startled me.]

[Seeing your name, snap, I clicked into the livestream room, very fast!]

[Streamer, let see cock]

“?”

Shi Shu exited the livestream every time precisely because of such comments appearing. Shi Shu: “Remembered I hadn’t posted a video in a long time, came up to check.”

[Streamer, remember to visit often in the future, never forget us electronic pets.]

[Why do I feel like you got handsome again?]

[Streamer, begging for the link to the same clothes]

[Streamer, my online dating partner sent a photo saying it was him, but that photo was you. Laughed me to death ahahahaha, broke up already]

“…”

Shi Shu laughed reading the bullet screen and tugged at his collar: “I don’t know the link either, my friend bought it for me these past two days. Screenshot and search for it.”

[Fine.]

[Why no running video updates?]

[Beijing Husband University, can you film your school more?]

[Yo, looked at your homepage videos, can get into Beijing Sport University with this speed?]

Shi Shu: “This speed? What does ‘this speed’ mean? Let me see your homepage—you can’t do it either? Barking.”

[Streamer, don’t mind the trolls. PK? PK!]

[Okay, seal lifted. Only haters can make you say a few more words, right?]

[Streamer, let’s PK, PK!]

Shi Shu: “…Going offline.”

[Don’t go offline Streamer /cry /cry /cry]

[Streamer, give me face, stream for another hour]

[What’s the situation? I just came in and you’re leaving???]

[Streamer Streamer, don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t leave—]

Shi Shu grabbed his hair: “Can’t stream much today, I have a friend here, chat with you for ten minutes max.”

[Ten minutes, let’s PK Streamer! I love watching you PK the most!]

[Hahaha mainly because the fan base is large, always matching with big streamers, but our family never gives money]

[Streamer, watching you already gives you enough face, brothers have love in their hearts, talking money is too vulgar]

[Earn 50 cents a PK match, but you are a million-follower big streamer]
