The Sick Beauty Gave Up Struggling

Bonus chapter ! Advertisement

Although Shen Boyan’s mouth is as hard as a rock, his heart is very soft—for the time being.

He saw that Xia Shu’an hadn’t eaten at noon (actually, he was full in the morning), so he asked the auntie to stew chicken soup. At around three o’clock in the afternoon, Shen Boyan went in and called Xia Shu’an.

Xia Shu’an’s face was pale and lifeless. When Shen Boyan came in, he just raised his eyelids.

Shen Boyan held back the discomfort in his heart and said with a “pleasant smile”: “Aunt Yu made chicken soup for you; go down and drink some.”

Xia Shu’an opened his mouth and said, “No… okay.”

There is nothing wrong with chicken soup; although the play still has to be acted out, chicken soup also needs to be consumed.

“Auntie’s soup is still delicious.” Sitting at the table, Xia Shu’an said with a smile.

Aunt Yu and Xia Shu’an also got acquainted and joked, “Is it my stew that tastes better, or Aunt Qiao’s stew that tastes better?”

Xia Shu’an: “…”

“Of course they are all delicious!”

Xia Shu’an tilted his head, trying to pass the test by being cute. Aunt Yu pursed her lips and smiled. She really likes the new Mr. Xia in the family, who is gentle and generous. She also gets along naturally with him and doesn’t intentionally flatter him or anything. Sometimes, she can even advise him not to stay up too late.

Xia Shu’an was drinking the soup slowly. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a figure coming from the living room. With a movement in his heart, an idea took shape at the speed of light, and Xia Shu’an said loudly, “Aunt Yu, how long have you been working in this house?”

“Almost three years.”

“Then…Has Shen Boyan ever brought anyone here?”

“No, no, Mr. Xia, you are the first one!”

“The first one.” Xia Shu’an was not very happy. He lowered his head and sighed softly: “So what if I was the first one brought back? I just happened to be the first one.”

“I’m not the last one.”

Auntie couldn’t answer these words. She was hesitating when she saw Shen Boyan coming in, so she quickly fled.

The young man who sat facing the kitchen entrance unconsciously put down his spoon. Suddenly he turned around, his back trembling as if he were suffering some kind of pain.

One of his hands was grasping the tabletop, his fingers were convulsed, and the blue veins on the back of his transparently white hand were faintly twitching.

A few words suddenly jumped out of Shen Boyan’s heart: He is crying?

When this idea came to his mind, Shen Boyan’s heart twitched violently, and he felt a suffocating pain. At that moment, he completely forgot his original thoughts.

He took a big step forward, and in a few steps, he was about to reach Xia Shu’an.

At this moment, Xia Shu’an really felt uncomfortable in his heart. With his eyes closed, he chanted frantically: You drip it, you drip it; it’s just a drop of tears; you can do it! ! !

The sound of footsteps stopped beside his ears.

When Shen Boyan walked up to him, Xia Shu’an turned his head. His face was full of panic, and a tear that hadn’t fallen yet hung in his eye socket, and in the moment he turned his head, it fell violently, ticking.

The air seems to be ringing.

With a clear sound, the drop of transparent water fell heavily on Shen Boyan’s heart.

Shen Boyan’s scalp exploded instantly!

“Xia Shu’an—” the man said, stretching out his arm to pull the young man.

“I’m fine!” Xia Shu’an turned around, pushed Shen Boyan away, and rushed upstairs without waiting for anyone to react.

—Can’t wait any longer. He can only squeeze out one drop. More than that, he really couldn’t squeeze out!

Shen Boyan was unprepared for the push. With his height and build, even two Xia Shu’an combined couldn’t push him, but he suddenly took two small steps back, clasped the corner of the table with one hand, and his nails turned pale due to excessive force before he managed to stand firm.

The suffocation-like pain made his eyes blank. After a while, he slowly stretched out a hand to cover his chest. It was as if this was the only way to relieve the pain in his chest, which was like the bite of a million insects.

Xia Shu’an ran into the room and took a deep breath. Although it was just a flash of inspiration at the time, after he really did that, he was… ashamed.

But the arrow has already been fired, and there is no turning back.

He took another breath, let it out long, then lay down on the bed.

If you show up within ten minutes, I will barely forgive you for secretly throwing away my rotten flowers in your previous life.

Five minutes later, Shen Boyan appeared in the room.

The bedroom covered by heavy curtains could not let in a ray of outside light; only two bedside lamps shone with warm light, interlaced and shrouding the curled figure of the young man on the bed.

Xia Shu’an was facing the closet sideways; his knees were bent, and his half-length hair was messily scattered around his face and neck, showing a weak posture of self-protection.

Seeing his uneasy look, Shen Boyan’s heart pounded violently again.

His footsteps were very light, but in a room where needle drops could be heard, he was still clearly noticeable.

Xia Shu’an rubbed his face on the pillow, pulled up the thin quilt, and retracted half of his head into it.

A figure sat up on the head of the bed, and the whole bed visibly sank downward.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“???” Xia Shu’an: Why don’t you say something first!

Two minutes later, Shen Boyan finally spoke. His voice was slightly stiff: “Luo Nian and I are not what you think?”

Xia Shu’an: “It doesn’t matter; I understand.”

Shen Boyan frowned. “It really isn’t. Between me and Luo Nian, it’s basically a partnership; there was a time when I helped him ……”

Then he explained what Luo Nian said to Xia Shu’an from his own perspective. It’s roughly the same as what Luo Nian said, except that he omitted the favors and rejections that others showed him when he participated in those private parties and his undifferentiated rejection of them.

It would appear as if he’s very flirtatious and frequents those entertainment clubs.

Xia Shu’an had unconsciously turned to his side; half of his face was still hidden under the quilt; his hair was pillowed under his face; and he looked at Shen Boyan with a pair of clear eyes, as if he had calmed down.

“So you don’t like him?”

The tip of Xia Shu’an’s nose was red (was wiped by his hand), and he looked a little cute after chasing him with questions. The corners of Shen Boyan’s lips curled slightly. “I don’t like him.”

“Have you ever had a relationship?”

“No.”

“Then do you like me?”

Shen Boyan was silent for a moment before replying, “I like you.”

“Do you only like me?”

Shen Boyan’s eyes flickered, and he was about to run away again. Xia Shu’an held his hand firmly, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, “If we don’t talk about the future, have you only liked me so far?”

Xia Shu’an’s actions in the past two days stemmed from a very simple original intention: he wanted Shen Boyan to talk more.

Shen Boyan’s brain seemed to grow wrong. He thinks that he’s so great that he doesn’t need to say anything good or bad. When he accumulates to a certain level, he will explode. Every time he explodes, it is Xia Shu’an who suffers.

They had quarreled too many times because of this in their previous lives. In this life, he already thought about it, but he alone was not enough. He wanted to live a simple life with Shen Boyan, so it was necessary for Shen Boyan to talk when he needed to talk.

Not 100%, but at least 30%.

Shen Boyan wriggled his lips, as if he wanted to say something. Suddenly, he turned his head and said with a cold expression, “No.”

Xia Shu’an: “Huh?”

What was that?

After one breath, Shen Boyan seemed to have overcome the psychological barrier, turned his face to Xia Shu’an, and said coldly, “I have never liked anyone else except you.”

“…”

A question mark popped up in Xia Shu’an’s head: “Not in elementary school, not in kindergarten?”

Shen Boyan frowned. “How could you like people in kindergarten?”

Xia Shu’an: Of course I would. When I was in primary school, I really liked the senior sister, who was a grade older than me. And my favorite teacher in kindergarten was Mrs. Xiaohua, who was in charge of the class.

So, he really didn’t even like anyone in elementary school or kindergarten?

Isn’t this too innocent?

Probably because he didn’t expect the development of the story to be so innocent, Xia Shu’an forgot to speak for a moment. The only sound left in the room was the breathing of the two and the rising temperature between the clasped palms.

An ambiguity that made people’s ears feel hot shrouded the two of them, and the air was on the verge of breaking out. Together with the eyes that they accidentally collided with, they seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After a long time, Xia Shu’an finally moved. He took Shen Boyan’s hand, crossed his fingers, intertwined his fingertips, and pressed them tightly against the side of his face.

“I’ve only ever liked you as a man.”

When I was a child, I liked girls, not “men”.

Shen Boyan’s eyes shook.

Xia Shu’an looked at his shocked face and couldn’t help but feel a little cute.

Although Shen Boyan has a bad mouth and a poor brain, as long as he can speak, he can still be saved. Isn’t it huge progress from 0 to 1?

The young man’s arm continued to climb up the man’s chest, eventually coming to rest on the back of his neck.

Xia Shu’an’s thighs were bent, and his snow-white feet landed on the sky-blue bed sheet. He knelt on the bed, his arms hanging around Shen Boyan’s neck, and his quiet and gentle pupils contained a smile.

“You are so good today; I will reward you.”

The tip of the tongue traced the shape of the lips and slowly invaded after a few breaths.

Shen Boyan only felt that there was a mass of soft white woven clouds densely surrounding his body, eroding and swallowing him, dragging him slowly and steadily into the silent deep sea.

The sound of the sea water kept rolling in their ears. They exchanged breaths for an unknown amount of time before they separated.

The ringing in their ears subsided at this moment. Xia Shu’an couldn’t help laughing and said, “I haven’t finished the chicken soup just now.”

Shen Boyan glared at him: “It’s getting cold; I’ll ask Auntie to warm it up again.”

The emotions gradually calmed down, and Xia Shu’an was also withdrawn from an unspeakable, marvelous sensation that controlled his sanity and his body.

The air was getting colder again. Xia Shu’an thought for a while and then confessed, “Then tell me in advance who you like in the future.”

Shen Boyan: “No way.”

Xia Shu’an: All right, you have the final say.

Shen Boyan stood up and said, “And you, in the future, if you want to know anything, you can ask directly… don’t cry.” His last few words seemed a little stiff.

“Yes.” Xia Shu’an looked at him with a smile and said, “Got it.”

Seeing the lack of reflection on his face, Shen Boyan felt dissatisfied again. Xia Shu’an had already sat up from the bed. Instead of getting out of bed immediately, he stretched out his arms and said, “Hug me.”

Shen Boyan glanced down at him and, after two seconds, leaned over and carried him off the bed.

…

Both sides were very satisfied with the results of this weekend’s competition. Both of them consciously “coaxed” each other well, and they even worked especially hard when doing that thing at night.

The next day, Shen Boyan went to work normally. As soon as he entered the office, he said to his assistant, “Call the managers and directors of the publicity department over and ask them who made the final decision for this shooting.”
