Chapter 30 Coming Out

Shen Yuan and his cousin were playing games together. It was a holiday, and his cousin had been shouting for a long time that he wanted his brother to help him score. Uncle came over and seemed to want to say something. Shen Yuan ignored his brother's shouting and put down his phone politely.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Uncle said, "Hey, the meal is ready, come and eat."

After a few rounds of talking on the table, uncle said, "Xiao Yuan, do you know what your brother has been doing at home recently?"

"I don't know."

Rumors have spread in the family that Shen Zhi has a mistress in his old house. No one knows how old she is or whether she is a boy or a girl, and no one has ever seen her.

The reason was that the cousin went to eat after school and saw a group of bodyguards. There was someone in the room, but the curtains were drawn. The cousin waited and waited, but Shen Zhi did not come out, so the bodyguards sent her back home.

But she keenly observed that there were two pairs of chopsticks on the table, top-grade red wine was waking up, and several dishes were still steaming. It was obvious that the two had not been upstairs for long.

Shen Zhi's reputation changed just like that. From childhood to adulthood, he was known for being obedient and sensible, never overstepping the line, not to mention that he was about to get engaged, how could such a scandal occur.

The uncle thought for a few minutes and asked again: "Then do you know what Feng Ran is busy with recently?"

Shen Yuan almost spit out the water in his mouth.

"How should I know."

The uncle sighed and said: "It seems that he is not in the company recently. Don't let him know about this for now."

"..."

After hearing this, Shen Zhi did not go home for two consecutive days and slept in the company at night.

When he went to the hospital again, he met Feng Qing, which was rare.

Feng Qing asked him, "How are things going with my brother lately?"

"Pretty good. Are you on vacation?"

"No, the final exams are starting next week." Feng Qing wailed, "It's so difficult. Sometimes I really want to learn from Feng Ran and ask him how he got through that time." Chen

Zhi said, "What did he do every day back then?"

"Working part-time, doing all kinds of work, getting up early and going to bed late. He didn't even go to class much, but he took all the exams and never failed a single subject... In the end, his GPA ranking was even pretty good." "

That's pretty impressive."

"Yeah, I have the impression that he never reviews. By the way, brother Shen Zhi, my friend bought a painting and wants you to take a look..." Feng Qing took out her phone, and just as Shen Zhi leaned over, a message popped up on the screen.

——It was from Ren He, saying that he had arrived at the airport.

Feng Qing nervously put away the phone.

Shen Zhi straightened up and said with a smile, "Do you have other plans later? I'll take you there?"

"No, no, no." Feng Qing shook her head repeatedly and clicked on her phone several times before opening the picture. "This one, what do you think the market value is?"

Feng Ran had an inflammation and had been on an IV drip in the house for two days. He was not awake much. Occasionally, he found that the surveillance camera was quietly turning, but he was powerless and could only give it the middle finger.

It was night when Shen Zhi returned home.

He hadn't seen anyone for two days. When he heard Shen Zhi come in, he was very excited. He quickly dried his hair and walked out.

"You've lost weight." Shen Zhi leaned against the mahogany staircase handrail. The light from the TV screen in the distance made his face flicker.

"Of course." He murmured, "It's hard not to lose weight after being tortured by you like this."

These days, he didn't even yearn for his own mobile phone. The only thing he hoped for was Shen Zhi to come back and have another living person breathing in the house.

He tried many ways to contact Shen Zhi, but none of them worked. By the next morning, fear and longing had swallowed up his intense anger. He had a nightmare while receiving an IV drip, in which he died in this house, but no one knew. When Shen Zhi came back, there was only a pile of bones on the bed.

When he woke up, he was covered in cold sweat, soaking the sheets.

Shen Zhi rarely pushed him into the bedroom, but cooked three dishes and a soup himself. The dishes were all hard dishes, including his specialty, beef stew with potatoes, pan-fried sea bass, and steamed oysters.

The two of them ate at the same table. Shen Zhi never mentioned his disappearance in the past two days and questioned him about many things in the company's financial reports.

Shen Zhi seemed to see that he was forcing himself to respond, so he shut up and kept feeding him food.

The dishes were delicious, but Feng Ran couldn't eat them. He was almost cured, but he had no appetite. He wanted to ask Shen Zhi why he didn't go home. No matter how busy he was at work, he couldn't forget that there was a living person at home.

What's more, he was still a patient.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Chen Zhi stopped eating and Feng Ran got up to open the door. The bodyguard handed him a big red file bag, saying it was an invitation from a hotel.

Chen Zhi responded without even looking up. Feng Ran was too lazy to open it and threw it on the table. He kicked off his slippers and stepped barefoot on the thick wool carpet, half lying on the sofa to watch the game.

He picked the new sofa, which was wide and big. The scent of the sachet had not yet dissipated, and there was a faint orange scent when he got close.

"Come and eat some more." Chen Zhi called him.

"I'm full."

Chen Zhi took an unusually long time to eat tonight. After the second half of the game, he heard the sound of cleaning up the dishes and chairs.

Chen Zhi opened the refrigerator and searched for a long time. After closing the refrigerator, he asked if there was no lubricant at home.

It was too sudden. Feng Ran hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain it.

The mystery was solved. Chen Zhi suddenly came home, and it was indeed for this matter.

Feng Ran wanted to ask why, but he kept his mouth shut.

Chen Zhi came to the sofa with a can of beer in his hand.

Feng Ran declined: "Forget about today."

Chen Zhi said: "My aunt will come tomorrow, and other relatives will probably come too."

"What are you here for?"

Chen Zhi paused and said: "Regarding the engagement, we haven't reached an agreement on the venue yet."

"Oh." Feng Ran yawned, "Then I'll play games upstairs."

"You'd better listen downstairs."

"What does it have to do with me?"

At night, he slept with his clothes on, and Shen Zhi lay beside him. The quilt was warm, and a hand unconsciously drilled into his clothes.

Feng Ran turned over and sat up, with a little anger in his tone: "Did you know that I was sick?"

"So you can get sick too, I thought you were an iron man."

"Do you know that I got sick because of you?"

"Me?"

Shen Zhi might not care, and might really not know.

Feng Ran didn't want to guess, nor did he want to explain. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhi didn't ask any more questions. So Feng Ran went to sleep with a belly full of anger.

The next day, Shen Zhi disappeared again.

He jumped out of bed and wandered around the house like a headless fly. He couldn't tell what he wanted to see. In short, he went to the bedroom, the studio, the bathroom... Finally, he found a pot of cold porridge in the kitchen, with a note with only three words:

Eat while it's hot.

Feng Ran tore off the note and threw it into the trash can.

When he was considering whether to go on a hunger strike to express his determination, the door opened.

"Where have you been again?!"

Chen Zhi paused at the door: "What's wrong with you? You're so angry."

Feng Ran almost lost control and said: "If you disappear again for no reason, don't come back."

Chen Zhi looked at him as if he was an alien creature.

Feng Ran asked: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Chen Zhi said: "This place seems to be my home."

"What's wrong with your home? Can you just leave people alone? You can leave and come back whenever you want? You have to come back to see your pets, cats and dogs! You can go out if you want, but let me out first!" Feng Ran suddenly remembered something and pointed around, "Look, your flowers, without me, they would all die."

It was only two days... Chen Zhi doubted for a second, walked over and held his hand: "I know."

"You know shit."

Shen Zhi opened his mouth, and the door was knocked.

As soon as the door opened, aunts, uncles and others walked in overjoyed, praising the new decoration, until the moment they saw Feng Ran, their faces froze slightly.

Feng Ran was arguing with Shen Zhi. He was only wearing a bathrobe, with nothing underneath. A large area of his chest was exposed, and his belt was hanging loosely. If he wasn't careful, his crotch would be exposed.

Shen Zhi said, "You can sit anywhere you like. Please feel free to do so."

Then he went to the kitchen to prepare snacks. Feng Ran followed him and got angry at him again. It wasn't until Shen Zhi promised not to do it again that he let it go.

The relatives sat around the coffee table. For some reason, Feng Ran always felt that they couldn't let go and were whispering. Knowing that he was an outsider, he ran away and hid upstairs to play games.

After a while, Shen Yuan suddenly pushed the door open and said, "You are still here."

"Why."

Shen Yuan walked around a few times and said, "Your mother will be here soon. Why don't you put on some clothes."

Feng Ran felt more and more unusual. What engagement, what invitation, who is engaged to whom, why are they discussing it in this house, and his mother is coming too, and how come he didn't know about it?

He remembered what Shen Yuan said before, kicked away the expensive gaming chair, and grabbed Shen Yuan's collar.

"Tell me clearly, what did you mean by what you said that day?"

A soft voice came from the door: "Didn't you see the invitation?"

Feng Ran looked over, Shen Zhi was holding a porcelain white dinner plate in his hand, and a silver fork was inserted into a piece of exquisite cake. His dessert making skills are getting better and better. It is no exaggeration to say that he has reached the level of opening a shop.

"That... isn't it your sister and, and Shen Zhi, you didn't just know it, did you?" Shen Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said carefully.

Feng Ran let go of his hand and looked at Shen Zhi.

He smiled: "Yeah. Do you want to eat cake?"

Shen Yuan took the opportunity to go out. Shen Zhi kicked the wooden door shut. They were isolated from the world.

Without saying anything, Feng Ran pushed Shen Zhi onto the lazy sofa. The dinner plate fell, the cake rolled a few times, and the cream left a long mark on the ground.

He was filled with blazing anger from inside to outside, like a ghost from the underworld, gritting his teeth and looking at Shen Zhi under him.

Shen Zhi was pinned to the sofa and couldn't get up, his face was as white as paper, and his posture was calm.

Their eyes were entangled fiercely in the air, and no one spoke first, Feng Ran grabbed him.

Shen Zhi raised his eyes and looked at him, his black eyes were not warm at all.

Feng Ran's breath was still a little unstable.

"- Tell me again, what kind of engagement do you want?"

Shen Zhi's lips trembled, and his tone was a little stiff: "This matter was discussed by my family a long time ago, and I don't know why you don't know about it. This is not my idea, and you don't have to be angry with me."

Feng Ran's eyes turned red almost instantly, and Shen Zhi caught it sharply. Before his heart could tremble because of it, Feng Ran's fist came over the next second.

Shen Zhi subconsciously dodged, and the fist landed squarely on the pillow, at an absolutely safe distance from him. He suddenly felt dizzy and his voice trembled. It was a voice that was extremely aggrieved and unwilling, but tried to disguise it with anger.

"Then what do you think of me?"

"I will think of you the same way as you think of me."

"Don't tell me that you were planning to get engaged during these days when you were missing! Believe it or not, if you dare to get engaged, I will never let you have an easy life. If you

have the guts, try it--" A string in Shen Zhi's heart snapped. He pressed his palm hard on the back of Feng Ran's head, turned over and pressed on him, and the two of them changed their positions.

Feng Ran struggled in vain, and Shen Zhi pressed his lips hard against his.

"You're crazy, downstairs--" They are all your family. Half of the words were blocked in his throat and swallowed into his stomach.

Feng Ran didn't remember who lost control first.

This kiss was probably the most ungentle, reluctant, and inappropriate kiss in their lives, but no one left first. The noses collided in a millimeter, and the breaths intertwined. The brain was not tired due to lack of oxygen, but became more excited. Whose teeth touched whose lips, saliva and blood blended and exchanged on the tip of the tongue, like love entangled with hate, entangled into an endless vine, binding them tightly.

No one can tell, at this moment, who is the hunter and who is the prey, who is giving and who is asking, who is setting up a trap and who is willing to sink. I just want to drown in this kiss and never wake up again.

Shen Zhi pressed Feng Ran into the soft sofa. He forgot all the kissing skills he had learned for a long time. He only knew that he had to absorb everything he had lost in these days and even during this period of time from Feng Ran's body. Feng Ran's body was not healed after all. Shen Zhi's 1.87 meter body was still pressing on him. He gradually lost his strength, his ears were buzzing, and his internal organs were all pulled together.

Suddenly, liquid crawled on Shen Zhi's face. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Feng Ran's tears.

Feng Ran closed his eyes, but tears still poured out like water from a tap. Chen Zhi's nerves jumped with great excitement, and his pupils slightly dilated.

This was the first time he saw Feng Ran cry like this.

Feng Ran cried because of him.

The boiling blood in his body rushed to his lower body, and his arms around him tightened.

He wished he could tie him up and lock him up right now, and let him cry for him in a place where no one knew. He wished his arms could turn into a cage, trapping him forever in his hellish world, and make him be the sun that never extinguished in the lonely night.

Suddenly someone screamed, like a blow to the head, hitting them on the head.

Feng Ran was startled and turned around. He didn't know when the door opened. His mother and sister, and a large group of Chen Zhi's relatives, were standing at the door, looking at them as if they had seen a ghost. Their

faces were red, black, purple, and white, and the various colors changed alternately, which was very exciting.

Feng Ran's mind went blank, and he subconsciously looked back at Shen Zhi. The young man was as calm as ever. He wiped his lips, and the blood that had not yet dried was wiped on his white jade-like skin. He climbed up from Feng Ran, his eyes were filled with an extremely gloomy light, but at the corner of his mouth, there was a trace of a triumphant smile belonging to a winner.

That smile was like a child who got a favorite gift, or a prank that succeeded.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all... The banquet cannot be held as scheduled, and I'm afraid the inheritance should be redistributed. I won't interfere with the specific distribution. You don't need to ask for my opinion on the company's affairs... Just pretend that I have never existed."

The aunt pointed at him first: "Are you behaving? Huh? So many people are here today, and you don't care about your face at all!"

The uncle followed closely: "Chen Zhi, think about it carefully. You and a man caused such a big scandal, which must have pissed off your father to death! It's not too late for you to turn back now."

Chen Zhi pulled Feng Ran up, and in the dead silence, he touched his cheek with his fingers and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Turning back... Ever since he designed the dinner for us to meet, there has been no turning back."

Shen Zhi's voice was serious and clear, which made Feng Ran feel cold all over.
