Chapter 371 – Brothers’ Feelings (3): Moving
writer:蝶之灵      update:2022-07-12 15:50
  Lou Wushuang slept all day and only woke up at 7 in the evening. Once he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Shaohui sitting on the edge of the bed with a worried expression. Lou Wushuang frowned and wanted to get up. Zhang Shaohui immediately reached out and supported him, asking nervously, “Brother, do you feel better?”

  “Yes.” Lou Wushuang spoke with a hoarse voice. “I’m thirsty.”

  “I’ll go and pour water for you.” Zhang Shaohui hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and handed it over. Then he gently touched Lou Wushuang’s forehead with the back of his hand and found that the fever had receded, letting him release some of his worries.

  Lou Wushuang bent his head to drink the water and Zhang Shaohui didn’t know what to say. The atmosphere was awkward and Zhang Shaohui didn’t speak again until his brother finished the water. “Do you still want to drink? I’ll go and pour some more.”

  “No.” Lou Wushuang placed the cup on the bedside table.

  Zhang Shaohui saw the cold expression on his brother’s face and scratched his head, looking a bit helpless. Lou Wushuang ordered, “Go and make me something to eat.”

  “What do you want to eat?”

  “Anything.”

  Lou Wushuang had almost recovered all of his physical strength but he was disheartened by Zhang Shaohui’s apology and didn’t want to talk to this person. Apart from his hungry stomach, the suggestion to eat was to send this person away as soon as possible, lest the two of them remain silent and the atmosphere worsened.

  Zhang Shaohui went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for a few dishes according to the taste that his brother usually liked. After going home, he moved in the kitchen. He was worried that his brother’s injuries wouldn’t help easily and made soup, stir-fried shrimp and added a stew to help with digestion. Then he went to the bedroom to call Lou Wushuang to eat.

  Lou Wushuang went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. He followed the smell towards the dining room. As he walked, he touched his pained back and frowned. Zhang Shaohui immediately reacted by actively bringing over a cushion for the chair.

  Lou Wushuang felt awkward when he saw the cushion. His cheeks slightly reddened but he pretended to sit without incident. A blush appeared on the man’s fair face and he looked particularly charming under the warm light of the restaurant. Zhang Shaohui was so stunned that his hands shook and he almost spilled the fish soup.

  He hurriedly took a deep breath to stabilize his heartbeat before handing the bowl full of fish soup to Lou Wushuang. “Brother, you haven’t eaten all day. Drink more soup since it has good nutrition.”

  “Yes.” Lou Wushuang drank the fish soup. The soup moisturized his lips and made the originally red and swollen lips become fuller in colour and more kissable. Behind the cold glasses, Lou Wushuang’s eyes were slightly swollen because he obviously didn’t sleep well last night.

  This Lou Wushuang was very different from the popular captain of the Ghost Spirits team. Zhang Shaohui suddenly wanted to take good care of him.

  Zhang Shaohui felt strange. Perhaps it was due to the incident last night that surpassed brotherhood. The intimate body connection meant he felt wrong starting from this morning.

  \r \r \r

  Previously, he only had respect for his brother when he looked at Lou Wushuang. However, today he saw Lou Wushuang and felt this person was particularly beautiful and sexy.

  It was different from the serious and cold Lou Wushuang of the past. This Lou Wushuang made him uneasy and he couldn’t help recall holding this person last night.

  Zhang Shaohui thought this and couldn’t help his body heating up. At this moment, Lou Wushuang finished the fish soup and placed the empty bowl on the table. The slight sound of the porcelain bowl touching the table pulled back Zhang Shaohui’s mind. He immediately realized that he was disrespectful to his brother in his mind and this was unforgivable!

  Zhang Shaohui timidly glanced at the cold Lou Wushuang across from him. He was silent for a moment before speaking in an embarrassed manner, “Brother, I, I think I’ll move out…”

  Lou Wushuang’s hands stiffened and slightly trembled. He almost couldn’t grab the shrimp and he had to quickly withdraw his hand to place the chopsticks on the table.

  He painstakingly bought such an expensive marriage house and wanted to live with Zhang Shaohui in this world of two people. He felt the extravagant hope that Zhang Shaohui could live with him for a lifetime…

  However, reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

  After last night, Zhang Shaohui immediately apologized and wanted to move. This showed that Zhang Shaohui didn’t have him in Zhang Shaohui’s heart at all. Zhang Shaohui only thought of him as a brother and teammate rather than an intimate lover.

  Since the other party took the initiative to move, Lou Wushuang couldn’t make him stay. He took a deep breath and held back the bitterness in his heart as he pretended to be calm. “Okay, it is too late today so you can move out tomorrow.”

  “Yes, that’s fine.” Zhang Shaohui scratched his head, saw his brother’s pale face and wanted to kill himself.

  In fact, he wanted to move away because his heart was completely chaotic.

  He didn’t know what was going on. He only knew that he couldn’t return to the calm of the past when facing Lou Wushuang.

  His eyes would uncontrollably stick to the other person and his mind couldn’t help thinking about the fierceness of last night. He recalled the man who clung to him and groaned which was a stake contrast to the Lou Wushuang he usually knew. Zhang Shaohui was clearly sober but he felt like he was dreaming. This couldn’t continue!

  If he went on like this, he would go out of his mind and he might do something out of the ordinary…

  Zhang Shaohui made the decision to move away so he could calm down.

  ***

  That evening, Zhang Shaohui slept in the child’s bed. His mood was disturbed and he tossed and turned to the early hours of the morning with images that weren’t suitable for children. The person in his arms was very warm and he remembered that he was very cold. He had to hold the other person many times. At the end of the dream, the person’s face clearly appeared in front of him. It was Lou Wushuang.

  Zhang Shaohui instantly woke up and was covered in a cold sweat.

  He scolded himself for bullying his brother in the dream. On the other hand, he couldn’t help remembering the deep feelings of the dream. The two contradictory emotions mixed together, making him confused. After sitting in bed for a moment, Zhang Shaohui got up and packed his bags.

  It was slightly bright and the door to Lou Wushuang’s bedroom was closed. Zhang Shaohui couldn’t rest assured about the food problem and went to the kitchen to give Lou Wushuang a nutritious breakfast. He was worried that Lou Wushuang had a fever again so he gently pushed open the door, tested the body temperature and then pulled open the quilt to look at the wound.

  The redness and swelling had subsided but it still hadn’t healed. Zhang Shaohui found the ointment and patiently smeared it again. Once this was done, it was already 7 in the morning. Zhang Shaohui looked at his sleeping brother and felt particularly complicated.

  To be honest, he was reluctant to leave. Since Lou Wushuang’s proposal to buy a house together, he had been looking forward to living alone with his brother. He could eat with his brother every day, watch the game together or play games online. It was more freeing than when they were in the team.

  It was a pity that it didn’t last long. He had just moved in when he made an unforgivable mistake due to drunkenness…

  He had no face to wait any longer and didn’t dare appear in front of Lou Wushuang.

  The distressed Zhang Shaohui reached out and helped tidy up his brother’s hair before placing the quilt back on. Zhang Shaohui stared deeply at Lou Wushuang, clenched his fists and forced himself to turn and walk away.

  ***

  Lou Wushuang woke up when the sky was already bright. It was raining outside and he saw the breakfast on the dining room table. The suitcase belonging to Zhang Shaohui was removed from the study and Lou Wushuang could only feel sad.

  He still remembered when Ah Hui first came to his house. The child had just lost his parents but was very strong. After seeing Lou Wushuang, the child called him ‘brother’, big eyes filled with trepidation. It seemed he was worried that Lou Wushuang wouldn’t like him. Lou Wushuang was hit by the sincere and bright eyes and took the initiative to share his toys.

  From that day on, they became nominal brothers.

  Zhang Shaohui’s personality was optimistic and he soon adapted to Lou Wushuang. The two elders were busy at work and left the children to play together at home. Zhang Shaohui was around Lou Wushuang all day.

  Lou Wushuang had a high IQ since childhood and wasn’t interested in childish games played by his peers. Thus, he had no friends and his childhood was very lonely. Since Zhang Shaohui came to his house, he was always with the follower who shouted ‘Brother’ with a big smile on his face. Zhang Shaohui showed him all types of fun things and gave him delicious food.

  He was a bit silly but Lou Wushuang couldn’t refuse the sincere smile.

  Time passed and Lou Wushuang became used to the company. He even felt very warm around Zhang Shaohui.

  At the time, the conditions at home weren’t good. The two of them shared one bed in the bedroom. Lou Wushuang was afraid of the cold and Zhang Shaohui’s body temperature was high. Lou Wushuang happily held him as a heater and winter was no longer as cold as before.

  This habit continued until middle school when the two people grew up quickly. However, Lou Wushuang’s habit of holding his younger brother while sleeping didn’t change.

  It wasn’t until his ignorant puberty that his brother appeared in Lou Wushuang’s dreams.

  Lou Wushuang was very scared the first time the dream occurred but he gradually accepted his own sexual orientation. However, he learnt to keep a certain distance from Zhang Shaohui and to hide this emotion in his heart.

  Later, Zhang Shaohui wasn’t admitted to a good university and was dug up by an e-sports manager. Lou Wushuang followed him and joined the Ghost Spirits team, becoming the terrifying Lou Zhang combination in the Miracle League. They experienced the ups and downs of the Ghost Spirits team together and worked hard to bring the second-rate Ghost Spirits team to the championship.

  For so many years, Zhang Shaohui was literally his life.

  The friendship between the two people who grew up together and the love that was deeply hidden for many years was finally over. It felt like Lou Wushuang’s bones were breaking and pain shot through his heart.

  Chapter 372 – Brothers’ Feelings (6): He was Becoming More and More Wrong

  Zhang Shaohui carried his luggage and walked along the street, unaware that his body was being drenched.

  Over the years, he had been living together with Lou Wushuang, As a child, they ate together and went to school together. After growing up, they joined the same team. Zhang Shaohui used to think he was very lucky to have such a brother. He never realized it until they were separated but without Lou Wushuang, it felt like his heart had been dug up. The bottom of his heart was empty and the strange vacancy couldn’t be filled.

  Zhang Shaohui clenched his fists and walked quickly to an intersection before calling down a taxi. The driver asked where he wanted to go and he hesitated for a moment before telling the other person the address of the team’s club.

  He didn’t have the face to go back to Lou Wushuang’s place and meet his auntie. The Ghost Spirits team was the only place he could think of right now. Fortunately, it was the offseason and his teammates weren’t there.

  Zhang Shaohui came to the team dormitory and put down his luggage. He stared at the familiar bedroom next door and felt uncomfortable.

  In one month, the eighth season would start. Once Lou Wushuang returned to the team, they would still live in this dormitory. How should he face his brother?

  He was naturally reluctant to leave the team. After all, he was now at the peak age and could play for several more years. Playing the game was his favourite thing. He couldn’t reconcile giving him. If he couldn’t leave, how should he get along with Lou Wushuang in the future? Would Lou Wushuang feel sick at the sight of him? After all… no one could accept the person who raped them.

  Zhang Shaohui lowered his head in a frustrated manner. How did he get drunk and act worse than a beast? He really wanted to go back to that night and kill himself.

  Unfortunately, there was no use regretting now…

  He hadn’t been clever since he was a child and this problem was too serious. He didn’t know what to do and after a while, Zhang Shaohui grabbed his hair and decided to think about the solution in a few days.

  ***

  For the next few days, Zhang Shaohui sat down all day. The thing that scared him most was that Lou Wushuang always appeared in his dreams. Lou Wushuang lay on the bed, covered in kiss marks. His lips were red and swollen and his eyes wet.

  Then Zhang Shaohui woke up from the dream and his body’s fierce reaction made him confused and embarrassed.

  He couldn’t believe that he had such thoughts about his brother.

  This time, the drunken mess inadvertently sparked a fire. It happened to encounter a large piece of dry wood hidden in his heart and ignited a raging fire that couldn’t be extinguished.

  He always dreamt of something that wasn’t suitable for children while the target was the brother he had respected from a young age. Zhang Shaohui simply wanted to die.

  He hadn’t come close to sorting out his emotions when he got a phone call this morning.

  “Hello, Vice-Captain Zhang, are you free tomorrow? Come to the team.” The manager’s voice came from over the phone. Zhang Shaohui sorted out his expression and solemnly replied, “I am currently at the team’s dormitory. Manager, why are you looking for me?”

  “That’s just right! I called your brother and told him we got a big brand endorsement this season. The other party asked for the captain and vice-captain to take photos together. Is that okay?”

  “Sure, no problem.” He naturally didn’t refuse the manager and immediately agreed.

  “Then I’ll see you at the club 9 o’clock tomorrow morning?”

  “Okay!”

  \r \r \r

  Zhang Shaohui became excited after hanging up the phone. He had left home for several days and Lou Wushuang never sent him a message. He didn’t dare contact the other person and this was the first time they had broken off contact for more than three days since they were young. Zhang Shaohui was in a difficult position and felt that something important was missing.

  However, he would be able to see Lou Wushuang tomorrow!

  He thought about seeing this person and his heartbeat couldn’t help accelerating.

  Throughout the day, Zhang Shaohui was in a game mood. He even opened a side account to play the game. He swept the field as a super god and won 10 games in a row. The player on his team was asked with surprised, “Did you have hormones injected?’

  Zhang Shaohui smiled and replied, “I’m happy today!”

  The teammate thought this person was terrible. He won 10 games just from being happy. If he was extremely happy, was it possible to hit the professional league in one go? Of course, this player only thought he met a master. He didn’t know it was the Ghost Spirits’ famous Zhang Shaohui.

  ***

  The next morning, Zhang Shaohui got up early, carefully shaved his beard in the mirror, tidied himself up and picked out a new set of clothes from the closet.

  The light grey coat was bought for him by Lou Wushuang during the Spring Festival last year. The salesperson had praised him for looking particularly handsome when he tried it on. Once he paired it with a pair of slim pants, heads turned when he walked down the street.

  Zhang Shaohui had no concept of dressing. Most of his clothes were bought together with Lou Wushuang. Lou Wushuang had a high vision and good taste. Every time he picked out clothes, others would say it looked good. Zhang Shaohui didn’t understand but he was confident in Lou Wushuang’s selected clothes. Now that he looked, he was surprised to find that all the clothes in his closet were actually picked by his brother.

  Zhang Shaohui’s mood was somewhat complicated after realizing this. At the same time, there was a hint of sweetness from the bottom of his heart. Lou Wushuang was so good to him. The clothes that other people wore, Lou Wushuang was too lazy to even look at.

  Zhang Shaohui was in a complicated mood until 9 o’clock when the team’s door opened and Lou Wushuang came in. He stopped in front of Zhang Shaohui and asked with a cold expression, “The manager hasn’t arrived yet?”

  “Yes, he is probably caught in a traffic jam.” Zhang Shaohui saw the person he had thought about for a few days and his tongue was a bit tangled. Lou Wushuang was wearing a slim black coat and looked very thin. The black brought out his white skin and the eyes behind the glasses were cold.

  However, even if he was cold, Zhang Shaohui couldn’t help thinking of Lou Wushuang’s body covered in hickeys that morning. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Shaohui wouldn’t believe that the sexy and seductive Lou Wushuang and the Lou Wushuang in front of him were the same person.

  The two of them looked at each other and were a bit embarrassed for a moment.

  Zhang Shaohui removed his gaze and scratched his head. He whispered, “Are you, are you feeling better?”

  “Yes.” Lou Wushuang didn’t want to say any more and bypassed the today. “Did the manager tell you? Today is mainly about taking a few publicity shots. If the photos don’t look good then we can take a few more shots later.”

  “No, you look good and the photos will turn out great.” Zhang Shaohui subconsciously retorted before realizing that his words weren’t appropriate. He immediately stopped and stared at the other person awkwardly.

  Lou Wushuang didn’t seem to mind and turned to pour a glass of water. Zhang Shaohui stared at his thin back and suddenly felt pain shoot through his heart. He whispered, “Brother, we… can we still be the same as before?”

  Lou Wushuang stiffened and he looked back coldly. “The same? Do you want to continue being brothers?”

  Zhang Shaohui sadly hung his head. “Sorry Brother, I have been feeling very guilty these days. I don’t know how to punish myself so that you feel better. I…”

  “Enough.” Lou Wushuang interrupted him. “This thing shouldn’t be mentioned again. We will just be teammates in the future.”

  “Brother…”

  “Don’t call me brother.” Lou Wushuang pushed up his glasses and spoke in a stern tone. “You and I have slept together yet you still want to continue being brothers. Zhang Shaohui, are you that naive?”

  “…” Zhang Shaohui was dumbfounded by the words.

  When he was a child and did something wrong, Lou Wushuang would occasionally scold him before hugging him and sprinkling some praise. However, today Lou Wushuangw as particularly harsh. He directly called Zhang Shaohui by his name and his expression showed that Lou Wushuang was truly angry.

  The strange feeling of pulling away made Zhang Shaohui particularly uncomfortable.

  He knew he wasn’t a child and couldn’t apologize to his brother as he used to. This was a matter of principles. As Lou Wushuang said, they had slept together. How could they act as brothers after this incident?

  As long as a person had no problem with his mind, they couldn’t easily accept an apology. Lou Wushuang was completely breaking away from Zhang Shaohui after so many years of affection, what was Zhang Shaohui still asking for?

  At the thought of this person getting further away from him, Zhang Shaohui became so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.

  “Sorry, the traffic jam was serious. You’ve both arrived!” A voice from the door broke the awkward situation. Lou Wushuang immediately turned around and came forward. “Manager, I just arrived. Are we going on?”

  “Yes, the car is outside and is ready to go.” Manager Lin smiled. “I didn’t want to disturb you brothers on the holidays but the sponsors especially like the both of you. They also promised to sponsor our team for a long time. This is actually very good for the development of the Ghost Spirits team. In any case, it is only one day and you should help. Then the bonus of the product endorsement will be indispensable to everyone!”

  “Okay.” Lou Wushuang replied lightly and got on the car with the manager.

  Manager Lin got on and found that Zhang Shaohui was still standing stupidly in a daze. He called out in a confused manner, “Zhang Shaohui!”

  Zhang Shaohui’s spirit returned and he headed to the car.

  ***

  This time, the Ghost Spirits won a well-known electronic products endorsement. The company had a series of well-received product lines, including gaming computers, mechanical keyboards, mice, headphones etc. The first batch of photos was mainly to promote the high-end mechanical keyboards newly listed. There were several sets of plans and the brothers would shoot them one by one.

  After changing clothes, the two of them entered the studio for the photo shoot.

  Lou Wushuang’s face was very cold and he didn’t smile no matter how the photographer teased him. Finally, the plan was useless and the photographer had to take a silhouette instead of his face.

  As a result, it was hard to find a photo with Lou Wushuang alone. Once it was Zhang Shaohui’s turn, he was still in a dazed state and his eyes completely wandered. Several photos were taken that had dull eyes…

  The photographer hesitated for a long time before picking out a few for Zhang Lou to see, stating, “The two of you are only taking a few photos. Don’t be nervous. Captain Lou, sit at the computer and tap on the keyboard. Vice-Captain Zhang, stay behind your brother and keep your eyes on the computer. We want the feeling of the two of you training in the team.”

  Lou Wushuang saw with a blank face in front of the computer and placed his hands on the keyboard. Zhang Shaohui stood hesitantly behind him and didn’t dare to touch him. The photographer urged, “Vice-Captain Zhang, place your right hand naturally on his shoulder, showing the intimacy between teammates.”

  “Oh.” Zhang Shaohui scratched his head and carefully extended his hand to Lou Wushuang’s shoulder. As a result, Lou Wushuang suddenly avoided it like he got an electric shock, his body stiffening. Zhang Shaohui immediately took back his hand.

  “…” The photographer had dark lines on his face. “These two handsome men, this is a publicity photo, not a wedding photo. What are you so nervous about?”

  Zhang Shaohui was embarrassed and apologized. “I’m sorry! We rarely take such photos. Can I make a suggestion? Can you reduce the physical movements between us? Uh…… it feels weird.”

  The photographer was forced to change it so there wasn’t close contact. Zhang Shaohui finally felt relieved.

  As a result, he just let go of his worries when a beautiful woman entered. The girl in charge of the advertisement planning walked into the studio and smiled. “The effect of a beautiful woman next to Captain Lou might be good. I called Ah Ling over to take a few shots to test it out.”

  The photographer nodded in agreement. “Let’s take a few shots to see.”

  Zhang Shaohui had to go to the side. The model walked to Lou Wushuang’s side and skillfully followed the photographer’s instructions. Zhang Shaohui watched and became more and more irritable. He wanted to slap this woman’s hand from his brother.

  The female model seemed to notice Zhang Shaohui’s gaze and smiled at him innocently. Zhang Shaohui was stunned and violently glared at the other person before removing his gaze.

  He was becoming more and more wrong. His heart had a strong sense of rejection when he saw the big beauty taking photos with his brother. He hated that the woman could get so close to Lou Wushuang and hated the woman’s gaze towards Lou Wushuang. He wanted to drive the woman away and pull Lou Wushuang tightly into his arms.

  He was thinking about this mess all day. Was he becoming a pervert?

  Chapter 373 – Brothers’ Feelings (7): The Person He Couldn’t Lose Most was Actually Close at Hand

  They spent a whole afternoon in the studio. The two people were in a bad state so very few photos could be selected. Fortunately, there were many good solo photos and it barely passed.

  Manager Lin politely said goodbye to the company and on the road back, he couldn’t help expressing his doubts. “You both seem to be depressed today. Was there a family accident?”

  “No.”

  “No.”

  The two men spoke in unison and then fell silent at the same time. Manager Link was even more confused. “What happened? Isn’t your relationship normally very good. Today the two of you stood together and it was like you were being stung…”

  These two people were the pillars of the Ghost Spirits team. If there was a contradiction, the Ghost Spirits team would be finished. Manager Lin was worried about any problems between them and insisted, “It is normal for young people to have occasional conflicts but the two of you have grown up together? Shouldn’t you discuss it?”

  The two people were still silent and Manager Lin was forced to continue as peacemaker. “Captain Lou, Vice-Captain Zhang is younger then you and might occasionally do something wrong. You should be magnanimous and take care of your brother.”

  This sentence poked their sore spot. Lou Wushuang’s face was pale and Zhang Shaohui opened his mouth to clarify, “Manager, this is my fault and has nothing to do with Brother! Leave it alone and we’ll handle it.”

  Manager Lin stared at the cold Lou Wushuang in the rearview mirror and found he could no longer say anything.

  After returning to the team, Manager Lin noticed the two people were in a bad mood and smartly drove away to let them handle it themselves. Lou Wushuang also drove over this morning. Once the manager left, he went to the garage and opened the car door. Zhang Shaohui suddenly grabbed the car door and wondered with red eyes, “Brother, can’t you forgive me?”

  His voice contained a hint of a whimper. The former Lou Wushuang might be soft but this Lou Wushuang only felt cold.

  He didn’t need this person’s apologies at all and didn’t want to forgive him.

  The thing Lou Wushuang wanted was his love and a promise to stay with him.

  However, Zhang Shaohui didn’t understand this or need it.

  He was really tired. Lou Wushuang closed his eyes and rubbed his temple as he whispered, “How can I forgive you? Pretend it never happened? But…I can’t forget.”

  Lou Wushuang clearly remembered all the details of that night. He remembered how Zhang Shaohui opened up his body and wildly demanded it. He remembered that they hugged and kissed fiercely and Zhang Shaohui’s hot hands touched every inch of skin. He remembered the pain and the joy, all coming from this person in front of him.

  How could he easily forget?

  Acting nonchalantly with Zhang Shaohui as brothers again, Lou Wushuang couldn’t do it.

  In his view, if it wasn’t possible to get this person then he should force himself to let go, so as to not end up bruised for nothing. The process of letting go might be very difficult but letting go earlier was better than getting deeper and deeper.

  Lou Wushuang took a deep breath and calmly looked up at Zhang Shaohui. “Zhang Shaohui, don’t call me brother in the future and I won’t call you brother. I have two years left on my contract with the Ghost Spirits team. After the two years of competition, I will withdraw from the league. We will… have never met.”

  Once he finished, he forced the door closed and stepped on the accelerator as decisively as when he raised his dagger on the field and accepted the other person’s head.

  The stunned Zhang Shaohui stared at the familiar car disappearing from his field of view. After waiting a long time, he reached out and wiped his face. He stood there, not knowing what to do.

  He had never felt so uncomfortable before. It was like all the air in his chest was being squeezed out and his heart was crushed by a huge stone. Every heartbeat and breathing involved the peripheral nerves of his entire body. A tingling sensation spread over his limbs, like a thorny whip repeatedly being wielded.

  Lou Wushuang said they should never meet each other…

  This sentence simply pulled Zhang Shaohui into hell.

  How could they not know each other? They used to be so good, closer than brothers. For so many years, Lou Wushuang had been a part of Zhang Shaohui’s life. He never thought about how he would live if he was one day completely separated from this person.

  The more Zhang Shaohui thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. He crouched on the ground and forcefully struck his chest like it would make him feel better.

  It turned out that the action of hitting his chest no longer relieved the pain in the depths of his heart.

  He had been stupid from a young age and couldn’t think of a solution to this problem.

  \r \r \r

  All he knew was that he couldn’t lose Lou Wushuang.

  ***

  After returning to the dormitory at night, Zhang Shaohui felt so sick that he desperately had to write on an emotional forum for help under a pseudonym. He briefly stated: [I was drunk after going to a class reunion and slept with my friend. He is very angry and wants to end our friendship. I am particularly distressed these days and don’t know what I should do. Someone help me!]

  A few night owls jumped out excitedly and replied:

  [Landlord, were you on top or below?] Zhang Shaohui replied: [I should be on top.]

  [Then your friend probably wants to vomit up blood and take a knife to you!]

  Zhang Shaohui told them: [I wish he would beat me up but he never used force. He just ignored me for the past few days and said we won’t know each other in the future. My heart is very uncomfortable.]

  [Landlord, continue to make things up. This is a very interesting novel!]

  Zhang Shaohui seriously said: [I’m not making it up. It is true.]

  He patiently responded to every reply and was obviously a first time rookie to the forum. The netizens rushed and started to reply with ideas. [If it was an ordinary person, even best friends would have their relationship destroyed over this. If you can’t endure it, do you have him in your heart?]

  [Landlord, do you like him which is why you slept with him when drunk?]

  [If you can’t separate, get together and come to the forum to show love!]

  [Together +1]

  [Together +2]…

  There was a series of ‘together’ and the reply speed of the post shot up like a rocket. It became 10 pages in an instant and the scared Zhang Shaohui had to close the page and exit the forum, his heart extremely awkward.

  In fact, the netizens were right. If this happened with his best friend in high school, he definitely wouldn’t be able to keep being friends with the other person.

  However, Lou Wushuang wasn’t the same. He couldn’t easily let go of Lou Wushuang. This man had occupied his life for over 10 years and unconsciously became his most cherished person.

  But being ‘together’? How was this possible?

  If Lou Wushuang was a woman then Zhang Shaohui wouldn’t hesitate to propose marriage. However, Lou Wushuang was a man. If he went to the door to propose then wouldn’t his aunt and uncle directly drive him away with a mop? Perhaps it wasn’t a mop but a kitchen knife?

  Zhang Shaohui looked at the netizens writing several pages of ‘together’ and his heart was suddenly moved. What would happen if he really got together with Lou Wushuang?

  Could he see Lou Wushuang every day, hold him to sleep every night, kiss him like the dream and see the sexy and seductive side he never showed in front of outsiders?

  Once this idea took place in his head, it grew like a spring weed, making Zhang Shaohui a bit excited.

  Zhang Shaohui gripped his hair while worrying. He might have such crazy thoughts in his heart but he didn’t dare put it into action. After all, he never thought about ‘turning his brother into his wife’ before. It was ridiculous!

  ***

  Time flew quickly and in the blink of an eye, the new season of the Miracle League started. All members set out to meet the gods.

  It was obvious that everyone was aware that the relationship between the captain and vice-captain weren’t quite right. In the place, Zhang Shaohui followed everywhere Lou Wushuang went. The two people were inseparable and Vice-Captain Zhang was simply his brother’s stalker.

  Now no matter where Lou Wushuang went, Zhang Shaohui maintained a distance but he couldn’t help following his brother’s back with his eyes. Sometimes he stared at Lou Wushuang’s back and looked stupid.

  Zhang Shaohui was responsible for the Ghost Spirits team’s daily training while Lou Wushuang was responsible for the tactical arrangements. The two people were cooperative in their work and the training of the team was still good. However, the private exchanges between Lou Wushuang and Zhang Shaohui were pitiful. They didn’t even sit together when eating in the canteen.

  Some team members familiar with Zhang Shaohui asked him what happened but they were all sent away with a ‘nothing.’

  The Ghost Spirits team maintained this strange atmosphere until the eighth season officially arrived.

  This season had another big update and many class skills were adjusted. In the day, Lou Wushuang opened a side account to become familiar with the skills and at night, he studied tactics in his bedroom. He was probably overworked and his bad mood caused Lou Wushuang to quickly lose weight.

  Every time he passed by Lou Wushuang’s room and saw the warm light inside and the thin back sitting in front of the table, Zhang Shaohui’s heart clenched like it was being grabbed by a hand.

  He wanted to go over and pour a glass of warm water for his brother, make a bowl of food for when he stayed up late, hug his brother and tell him to rest early… now, Zhang Shaohui could only look from a distance, not daring to do anything. He was afraid his appearance would make Lou Wushuang more disgusted. Despite living in the same dormitory, he could only minimize his sense of existence.

  Three days later, the first game of the Ghost Spirits team would begin. The opponent was the Time Team. On the morning of the second day, Lou Wushuang gathered everyone to discuss coping strategies. His dark circles were very obvious and he had clearly stayed up late last night. Zhang Shaohui was particularly distressed and was so distracted he didn’t hear Lou Wushuang’s words.

  At least, until Lou Wushuang stared coldly at him and called out, “Vice-Captain Zhang.”

  Zhang Shaohui’s spirit returned and he blushed as he replied awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I was distracted for a moment.”

  Lou Wushuang repeated, “In the arena, I will open the game with Ah Rong. You and Xiao Ling will be the guard. This way, we will bring two new people.”

  He actually split apart the Lou Zhang combination? Zhang Shaohui sadly hung his head and replied, “I know…”

  Normally, there would be no objection to Lou Wushuang’s arrangement. After all, a great god bringing a novice to the field was a method that many teams used to hone the newcomers. It was just that Lou Wushuang and Zhang Shaohui’s recent Cold War was obvious. At this juncture, the ace combination of Ghost Spirits was dismantled and many people couldn’t help thinking too much as they turned their attention to Zhang Shaohui.

  Zhang Shaohui’s mood was chaotic. He looked at Lou Wushuang and felt there was a huge dark cloud over his head, pressing down on him so he couldn’t breathe.

  ***

  Three days later in Beijing, the first round of the regular season between Time and Ghost Spirits began.

  At the beginning of the game, many audience members noticed that the Ghost Spirits team wasn’t in the right state. Lou Wushuang took a newcomer to the first stage of the arena and the 16 year old newcomer made mistakes because of his nervousness. However, the big god Lou Wushuang also made mistakes and this was captured by Tan Shitian.

  In the Ghost Spirits’ guard stage, Zhang Shaohui’s mistake caused him to be taken away by Cheng Wei. The Time team had also torn apart the Tan Cheng combination to bring the newcomers. The originally equal game became more like a ‘master playing with food.’

  Cheng Wei walked back to Tan Shitian’s side and spoke doubtfully, “Vice-Captain Zhang played the game like he was sleepwalking.”

  Tan Shitian patted his head and whispered, “The Ghost Spirits team might have some internal problems. Don’t be curious and ask me again after the match.”

  It turned out that Tan Shitian’s guess was correct. The second game was the Ghost Spirits’ home map. Ghost Spirits was completely defeated and Time pushed to the crystal in one breath.

  Points in the regular season weren’t as important as the playoffs but losing in the first match caused the fans of Ghost Spirits to be worried.

  The thing that increased everyone’s worries was that after the match, Lou Wushuang took the team members to shake hands in Time’s soundproof room. As a result, he just finished shaking hands with Cheng Wei when he suddenly fell to the ground.

  This scene shocked the audience and even scared Cheng Wei. He cried out to Tan Shitian, “Captain Lou! Captain Lou fainted!”

  Tan Shitian rushed over, wanting to help. At this time, the not too distant Zhang Shaohui rushed over like a bad beast, moving through the crowd and reaching his brother. He carefully picked up Lou Wushuang and nervously asked, “Brother, what’s wrong with you? Brother?”

  His voice trembled like he was crying. The players around him were confused and didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, Tan Shitian was calmer and told Zhang Shaohui, “Quickly send your brother to the hospital!”

  Zhang Shaohui heard this and carried his brother, running to the garage and driving frantically to the nearest hospital.

  Zhang Shaohui was distraught as he waited for the diagnosis results. He felt like he was going crazy…

  Fortunately, the doctor quickly gave the diagnosis. It was fainting caused by hypoglycemia.

  “He has been suffering from a cold and fever recently. He didn’t treat it well and his nutritional intake is insufficient. The excessive consumption of physical fitness meant his body failed to support him. You should pay more attention if you are a family member.” The doctor told Zhang Shaohui.

  Zhang Shaohui stared at the pale man lying on the hospital bed and was stung. In the past, they lived with each other every day and he could always detect it if there was something unusual with Lou Wushuang. Recently, he had been hiding from Lou Wushuang and only thought this person was thin. He didn’t expect the situation to be so serious…

  Zhang Shaohui was incredibly remorseful and wanted to slap himself on the face.

  ***

  The nurse entered the ward to give Lou Wushuang an IV drip and Zhang Shaohui sat by the bed.

  His WeChat ran nonstop as the managers, teammates and other players in the league expressed concerns about Lou Wushuang’s situation. Zhang Shaohui replied before directly issuing a Weibo post. “Captain Lou fainted because of a fever and overworking himself. The doctor said that the problem isn’t big. Thank you for your concerns and I will take care of him.”

  Zhang Shaohui turned back to the person frowning on the bed and a strong idea that couldn’t be ignored rose in his heart. He wanted to take good care of this person.

  He wanted to stay with this person for the rest of his life and never leave.

  It was because he finally discovered that the person he couldn’t lose most was actually in front of his eyes.

  Chapter 374 – Brothers’ Feelings (8): I Want to be Together with You. Promise me?

  The Ghost Spirits members came to the hospital to visit the captain but Lou Wushuang was still asleep. They couldn’t help so Zhang Shaohui sent everyone back to the hotel, saying that he would take care of the captain and everyone could feel reassured.

  It wasn’t until late in the evening that the sleeping Lou Wushuang finally opened his eyes.

  He was dizzy and confused about where he was. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to sit up. Zhang Shaohui immediately reached out and helped help, placing the pillow behind him and letting him lean on Zhang Shaohui. Zhang Shaohui nervously wondered, “You woke up. Are you feeling better?”

  Lou Wushuang found his glasses and put them on. He stared at the other person before recognizing Zhang Shaohui. Then he took a deep breath and glanced around. He finally recovered his sense of reason and frowned. “Why am I in the hospital?”

  “You passed out.” Zhang Shaohui whispered. “The doctor said you are malnourished. Combined with the fever and exhaustion, your blood sugar level became low and you fainted.”

  Lou Wushuang was silent. In fact, he had been uncomfortable for a few days but the game was imminent. He was the captain of Ghost Spirits and couldn’t take time off to see a doctor. He also stayed up late thinking of tactics, causing him to have a headache and lowering his physical strength. As for the lack of nutrition… he had a bad appetite recently and felt like he was eating wave. Strictly speaking, his appetite had been terrible since his separation from Zhang Shaohui.

  He originally thought he was strong enough to face all of his calmly but it turned out, he couldn’t achieve true calm. In the face of Zhang Shaohui, his emotions weren’t well adjusted. Every time he saw this person, his heart ached like it was being cut by a knife.

  Lou Wushuang’s thoughts were very chaotic during this time. He could only use work to paralyze his nerves so that he didn’t think about Zhang Shaohui. The result was that he fainted of physical exhaustion…

  It was something he didn’t expect and the last result he wanted to see.

  He fainted and it was unknown what the reporters would write. The Ghost Spirits fans would also be worried and the team’s morale would be unstable, making the next game more difficult.

  Lou Wushuang looked for his phone to send a Weibo post to reassure people but his phone wasn’t in his pocket. Zhang Shaohui knew what he was looking for and explained, “Your phone has no more battery so I had Ah Rong bring it back to the hotel first. I just sent a Weibo stating that the problem isn’t serious. Don’t worry about it and rest.”

  He didn’t expect Zhang Shaohui tp be quite reliable at this crucial moment. Lou Wushuang took back his hand and sat quietly on the bed.

  After a while, Zhang Shaohui asked cautiously, “Brother, we… can we talk about it?”

  Lou Wushuang frowned and his voice was very cold. “Talk about what? Will you apologize to me again?”

  “No, I, I want to say…” Zhang Shaohui scratched his head and carefully considered his words before making up his mind. “Since we have already… already, I should take responsibility for it. I, I can’t escape. Thus… I want to ask you. What exactly should I do for you to forgive me?”

  He saw Lou Wushuang’s ugly expression and Zhang Shaohui hurriedly added, “You can’t do anything you want to me. You can get mad or hit me. No matter what you want, I will do it right away! Brother, can you give me another chance?”

  The young man stared at him with anticipation and beginning. The pathetic eyes that didn’t want to be abandoned softened Lou Wushuang’s heart and he couldn’t say the words of rejection.

  Perhaps he had been too anxious this time. The incident happened after becoming drunk and it was normal for Zhang Shaohui to find it hard to accept. After all, he was a straight man’s thoughts and couldn’t figure it out in two or three days.

  But… restoring the brotherly relationship made Lou Wushuang feel awkward.

  Perhaps a sick person was inherently softer and the other person’s expression was hard to refuse. After hesitating for a while, Lou Wushuang whispered, “Okay, I don’t blame you and will let it go.”

  Zhang Shaohui was happy and immediately grabbed Lou Wushuang’s hand excitedly. “That’s great!”

  Lou Wushuang quietly pulled back his hand. Zhang Shaohui was a bit embarrassed but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his fingers still seemed to feel the temperature of the other party, giving Zhang Shaohui an endless aftertaste.

  The two people were silent for a moment. Then the drip finished and Zhang Shaohui asked the nurse to come over to change it. He also ran outside to buy a nutritious dinner and came back to eat with Lou Wushuang.

  The sky was dark outside and Lou Wushuang stared at the infusion bottle and asked, “How many bottles of medicine?”

  Zhang Shaohui got up to check the infusion list and replied, “There are three bottles.”

  “Then you go back first.” Lou Wushuang told him lightly.

  “No, I will stay here with you.” Zhang Shaohui was stubborn and Lou Wushuang didn’t argue again. He closed his eyes and said tiredly, “Then I will sleep again.”

  “Yes, go to sleep. I am guarding you.” Zhang Shaohui helped him lie down and carefully covered him with a quilt.

  ***

  After this night, the relationship between the two people obviously eased and Lou Wushuang’s spirit and physical state also improved.

  Due to various speculation outside and Manager Lin’s request, the Ghost Spirits team held a press conference in Beijing. Lou Wushuang told the public that his body had improved and he could cope with the next game. Zhang Shaohui also made it clear that he would help his brother share the work of the team.

  The two brothers sat in front of the reporters and the storm finally calmed down. The Ghost Spirits fans sighed with relief.

  All team members returned to Shenzhen the next day. Zhang Shaohui took the initiative to help his brother with the luggage. He no longer deliberately avoided Lou Wushuang and Lou Wushuang responded calmly to his questions. In the eyes of the players, the two seemed to have returned to the past.

  However, Zhang Shaohui knew that his own mood would never return to the past.

  \r \r \r

  Previously, he faced his brother and only felt admiration and respect. Now when he saw Lou Wushuang, he only thought of the scene where Lou Wushuang lay in his arms while covered in kiss marks.

  In the dormitory that evening, Lou Wushuang took a shower while Zhang Shaohui gazed at the figure in the bathroom through the frosted glass of the bathroom. He listened to the water sound from inside and felt something downwards.

  He couldn’t help thinking of Lou Wushuang bathing. It must be a sexy and beautiful sight, just like what he saw on the bed when he got up that morning. Lou Wushuang’s legs were long and straight, his waist wasn’t too thin, his hips were round and his body was so good that people couldn’t look away…

  He was just thinking this when Lou Wushuang suddenly opened the door. He was wearing a simple white bathrobe that covered most of his body but accidentally exposed the delicate collarbone. There were crystal clear water drops…

  Zhang Shaohui heard the sound of himself gulping.

  Lou Wushuang gazed at him and asked, “Where’s my luggage? Help me bring it to my room.”

  “Yes.” Zhang Shaohui actively helped him drag the luggage in.

  Lou Wushuang sat on the bed and wiped his hair. He rubbed for a while and found that Zhang Shaohui was still standing there and not leaving. He lightly asked, “Do you still have something to do?”

  “Ah?” Zhang Shaohui’s senses immediately returned and he scratched his head with embarrassment. “It’s nothing, cough. I will go back first. If you are uncomfortable, remember to call me.”

  He ran out of his brother’s bedroom and returned to his room in a restless mood. He opened his previous post in the forum. After so many days, the post had already sunk down. Zhang Shaohui raised his courage and posted: [I am the landlord who slept with my friend after drinking. He has forgiven me but I am always thinking and dreaming about him, like a demon. The relationship between us has eased. If he knows what I am thinking and dreaming about, will he be so angry that he wants to kill me?]

  The landlord who had been missing for many days came back to post, exciting the crowd. They gave him bad ideas: [Landlord, what are you waiting for? Hurry and chase him!]

  [Not yet, wait for the New Year!]

  [If you keep delaying like this, you should be careful that your friend isn’t taken away!]

  [If it is a man, then it is easy. Don’t muddy the waters and quickly go confess!]

  Zhang Shaohui, “…”

  Many netizens scolded him for not having courage. The passersby didn’t know the trust and could take nonsense. How could he confess to his brother? Was he tired of living?

  Zhang Shaohui lay in bed while thinking about Lou Wushuang accepting him. The more he thought about it, the more he knew the possibility was 0%.

  That night, Zhang Shaohui tossed and turned, finding it hard to sleep. The next day, he woke up with deep dark circles.

  Like an obsessive lover, he thought about what he should do. He wanted to be more intimate with Lou Wushuang but was worried their relationship would be ruined. This contradictory mood made him almost go crazy.

  ***

  Three days later, the Ghost Spirits played their second game in Shenzhen. It was a home game and the opponent was a weak team. In this game, the Ghost Spirits won the arena and team battle, finally gaining back a bit of face.

  The Lou Zhang combination was still split apart. Lou Wushuang was training a newcomer while Zhang Shaohui also took a rookie who just debuted. The effect wasn’t bad and Manager Lin finally let go of his worries, offering to treat them to a meal.

  A lovely girl came to the meal. She was Manager Lin’s daughter, Lin Xiaowan and she was currently studying in the journalism department of Shenzhen University. She planned to be an e-sports reporter after graduation.

  She was a loyal fan of Lou Wushuang and sat beside him, asking him many questions. Lou Wushuang gave some face to the manager and patiently answered her questions. The little girl was excited and spread out her palm, asking Lou Wushuang to sign her hand.

  The players joked, “Xiaowan, our Captain Lou’s signature is very precious. It will be washed off is he signs it on your hand!”

  Lin Xiaowan smiled. “I won’t wash my hand for a week after going back!”

  This girl was very lively and generous. As a member of the journalism department, her eloquence was excellent. Thanks to her, the meal was particularly lively.

  Manager Lin brought her because he wanted her to have more opportunities to communicate with e-sports players before her graduation. However, Zhang Shaohui was particularly upset, especially when he saw her sit next to Lou Wushuang and talking nonstop. He was so annoyed that he couldn’t wait to put a seal on her mouth and bring his brother into his arms!

  The sourness in Zhang Shaohui’s heart made him uncomfortable. He wanted to kill this Lin Xiaowan with his gaze but she had strong nerves. After getting Lou Wushuang’s signature, she ran to get Zhang Shaohui’s signature. She said with a smile, “Vice-Captain Zhang, Captain Lou signed my left hand. Can you sign my right hand? I will take a photo to remember it!”

  Zhang Shaohui signed for her and drank two beers in a distracted manner. He couldn’t become drunk after two glasses of beer but after returning, he deliberately pretended to be drunk.

  Lou Wushuang emerged from the shower and found Zhang Shaohui lying on bed, staring up at the ceiling with a dull gaze. He walked over and gently pushed Zhang Shaohui’s shoulder, whispering, “Did you sleep well yesterday? How can you become drunk from a few drinks?”

  Zhang Shaohui’s spirit returned and he saw Lou Wushuang’s wet skin from the shower. He gulped and boldly placed his arms around Lou Wushuang’s waist.

  Lou Wushuang was unprepared and was pulled into Zhang Shaohui’s arms. He was stunned and his glasses almost fell off.

  He struggled to get up. Zhang Shaohui tightened his arms and hugged him. He took off Lou Wushuang’s glasses and stared into his eyes, whispering, “Brother, am I drunk? Why am I remembering that night again? Thinking about holding you, kissing you… Don’t be so close to those women okay? I have already embraced you, you can’t stop me…”

  “Shut up!” Lou Wushuang’s face was red and he couldn’t help the trembling in his voice.

  His glasses were taken off by the other person and his vision was blurry, causing the physical touch to become extraordinarily vivid. Zhang Shaohui’s arms were strong and powerful, making him unable to break free. The shocking thing was that he actually felt Zhang Shaohui’s lower part standing up high and leaning against his abdomen.

  Lou Wushuang instantly froze. Zhang Shaohui noticed that the other person didn’t resist and dared to kiss Lou Wushuang. The kiss was like water. He just touched the other person’s lips gently before letting go.

  He was prepared to be slapped by Lou Wushuang. He would fall over and pretend to be drunk. Then the next day, he would wake up and pretend not to know anything.

  He didn’t expect that after kissing Lou Wushuang, this person didn’t slap him. Instead, Lou Wushuang’s body softened and he fell into Zhang Shaohui’s arms, his body shaking slightly.

  Zhang Shaohui was stunned by his and was at a bit of a loss.

  A muffled voice came from his chest. “Ah Hui, are you drunk again? Will you remember nothing after you wake up tomorrow?”

  The repressed pain was clearly transferred. Lou Wushuang’s trembling voice passed to Zhang Shaohui’s brain, every word like a sharp thorn that broke Zhang Shaohui’s heart.

  Lou Wushuang originally didn’t resist his kiss?

  In fact, he had long been in Lou Wushuang’s heart? That’s why he was so angry last time?

  “I don’t want to go on like this anymore. I’m really tired.” Lou Wushuang pleaded softly, “Let me go…”

  Zhang Shaohui listened to the other person’s trembling voice and felt particularly distressed. He didn’t let go and couldn’t help reaching out to stroke Lou Wushuang’s hair.

  Lou Wushuang gazed at him doubtfully. After removing the glasses, his brother’s eyes became wet and Zhang Shaohui finally couldn’t withstand the desires in his heart. He bent his head and pressed a hard kiss against Lou Wushuang’s lips.

  This time it was no longer a light touch. He boldly pried open the teeth and delved deep into the mouth. Lou Wushuang was obviously shocked by this kiss and reflexively tried to escape, but Zhang Shaohui kept hugging him.

  Zhang Shaohui’s kiss was rough and reckless, the tongue licking the mouth with almost zero skill. However, this simple and straightforward kiss caused Lou Wushuang’s heart to soften in an instant.

  He originally thought that he had to give up on this fruitless relationship. It turned out that he couldn’t resist the man he had secretly been in love with for years. Zhang Shaohui’s simple kiss was enough to rekindle the flames in his cold heart.

  Even if Zhang Shaohui was drunk this time, he still couldn’t resist the warmth of his brother.

  Lou Wushuang actively moved his tongue and Zhang Shaohui immediately became excited, kissing back deeply according to the other person’s inducement.

  “Um… hmm…” Seductive sounds emerged from Lou Wushuang’s lips and Zhang Shaohui’s body couldn’t help heating up. He flipped their position and pushed Lou Wushuang onto the bed, kissing him even deeper.

  Lou Wushuang’s vision spin and once he recovered, he found that Zhang Shaohui was pressing on him and kissing him. Lou Wushuang’s heart rate accelerated and he nervously held the other person’s shoulders, his mouth opening to allow his brother’s deep kiss.

  “Oh… um…”

  The kiss lasted a long time until Zhang Shaohui reluctantly let go of the other party, lest they both suffocate.

  Lou Wushuang’s lips were wet from the kiss and the touch of redness on his face was particularly moving under the illumination of the lights.

  Zhang Shaohui gentle stroked the red face and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Do you know? I don’t want to call you Brother anymore. I want to kiss you, hold you, do that type of thing with you like last time. I want you to become my person that no one else can take away.”

  Lou Wushuang, “…”

  He thought this person was drunk again. He didn’t expect Zhang Shaohui to speak so clearly. Lou Wushuang stiffened and he glanced at the other person with surprise. “You… what are you talking about?”

  Zhang Shaohui clung to Lou Wushuang, rubbing his head against Lou Wushuang’s neck as he requested seriously, “Don’t be my brother, be my wife. I will be good to you. I swear, I will never hurt you in this life. I will love you and protect you.”

  “…” Lou Wushuang couldn’t respond for a long time.

  Zhang Shaohui glanced at him and boldly spoke. “If you are angry, take a knife to kill me. If you can’t bear to kill me, promise me! I miss you so much that I dream of you every night and I’m going crazy.”

  “I have these thoughts about you. I’m a bastard and a beast…” Zhang Shaohui whispered. “Even so, I can’t control myself. I really want to kiss you, hug you, watch you every day…”

  Lou Wushuang didn’t know how he felt. The person he had been in love with for many years suddenly confessed to him. It was like a lottery ticket worth millions of yuan suddenly falling from the sky, so that he couldn’t believe it.

  However, the burning temperature of the person holding him and the familiar voice in his ear told Lou Wushuang that this wasn’t a dream.

  “Do you promise?” Zhang Shaohui asked seriously. “I want to be together with you, okay?”

  After making sure that he wasn’t drunk and talking nonsense, Lou Wushuang couldn’t help blushing. He endured the excitement and nodded, whispering, “Okay.”

  Zhang Shaohui thought he heard wrong. He raised his head and saw Lou Wushuang’s red face underneath him. In an instant, ecstasy poured into his heart. Zhang Shaohui hugged Lou Wushuang as hard as possible and casually kissed his face a few times, as happy as winning the lottery. “That’s great! I won’t call you Brother in the future. Is it okay if I call you Wushuang?”

  Lou Wushuang’s blush deepened. “Yes.”

  The name embarrassed him but he couldn’t ignore the hint of sweetness in his heart.

  His silly younger brother finally opened up and changed their relationship. They would still work together, supporting each other as they moved forward.

  Lou Wushuang thought this and took the initiative to hold Zhang Shaohui and the other side hugged back with more strength.

  After years of secret love, he was finally able to get this fool’s response. This happiness was very simply. Zhang Shaohui was willing to stay with him and be his lover, making Lou Wushuang content.
