im crine why are thy all fists with each other.. that's kinda romantic

After we came back to our den, I asked Binbin, “What are you going to
do after we get there? What am I going to do?”
“Me? I’ll look for a job. And you? You look for girls–ah! Ouch! Damn
you, Qian Jiying, pinching me again. Just you wait. Just you wait...”

Then, the brat started learning Classical Chinese with my pa and tested
me when he came back home, “What’s the line before ‘the autumn water
connected the sky at the horizon, forming a unity’32?”
Oh my god, let’s spend more time discussing the issue of who will be on
top instead, please.

fuckin hilarious actually

He held my cheeks between his fingers and demanded angrily, “Say that
again? Who’s Romeo?”
“You. You are!”
Only then did he smile. He patted me a few times and snuck a few
kisses. “Ge, you’re such a good boy.”
Hmmph! It’s never too late for revenge. Plus, you’re Romeo and I’m
Romeo too. There’s no conflict there.

“Hey, how come you’ve never washed my socks or made roast pork for
me?”
He glared at me and nudged the bruises on my stomach really hard.
“Ah! Help! Someone’s trying to kill his Romeo!”

Binbin kept cussing out the tall guy who hit me. “That motherfucker. To
think I washed his socks and made roast pork for him. Ungrateful son of a
bitch. Goddammit. If I ever get my hands on him again, I swear I’m gonna
bust his balls. Fuck...”
He didn’t do it on purpose and he even apologized to me, which was
thanks to you. But before that--

I cried so much that I couldn’t think clearly and I swung my fist out.
And I think I actually hit him since he covered his mouth. Alright. I got
him.

I don’t know what I said. I probably had never screamed so many
profanities in my life. I don’t think they could hear me clearly either. I
cried while I cursed them. I cried especially loud. I bawled my eyes out
and my face was wet with tears and snot. I had never cried so much in my
life either. I felt so bad that I wanted to tear my insides out. I had wanted
to spoil him with my love for the rest of my life.

'..You coldblooded bastards. You
damn devils. I curse you, I curse your whole family, all to hell. You
bastards. Motherfuckers. You all burn in hell. Fuck you...”

He was dead.
I fell into chaos. Something had snapped in my head. “You scumbags.
He was a kid who never had a single good day in his life and you make
him put his life on the lines for you. There is honour amongst thieves. Yeah
right! Just a bunch of horseshit. You motherfuckers. '

qian absolutely losing his shit

How could I have let him leave me? How could I have lost him? My
parents aside, he was the dearest person in my life. I had to wait. Even if
he committed a crime, he might run back to me or get locked up again
or...

I don’t see him. Where did he go?
Shen Bin, you little shit. Damn you. I... I’ll fucking kill you.
Only after I crouched down did I notice how cold it was.

I ran outside as I tried to think with my half-awake head straight until
the main road.
It was only six or seven in the morning. A few people saw me running
around like a mad man in cotton pajamas in the middle of winter and
began pointing and whispering—which psych ward is this guy from?

He had gone but perhaps not far. I flung the blanket away and sprinted
out in slippers.
How could I have just fallen asleep? Fuck me. Why didn’t I strip him
naked and tie him to the bed?
I knew I wouldn’t be seeing him again if I did not find him this time. He
came back to see me for the last time.

His fever came back again stronger than before, which was good. Better
that he lied in bed sick so I can keep him under my watch for a week or
two.

He looked up. His face was completely soaked. “I’m sorry. Ge, I’m–” He
clenched his teeth. More tears came out.
“I’m just glad you’re back. Don’t leave again. Just stay here. It doesn’t
matter even if you don’t do a thing. Yeah? I’ll care for you.”

I thought his eyes were watery when the train left the station, as if he
was never going to see me again.
Screw it, I thought, I’ll pawn the shops, sell the house and move to
Shanghai.
Love really made you crazy.

He suddenly called me before I could pawn my shops.

i love how shens love language is...biting

We were sprawled out on the bed, exhausted. He put his head on my
shoulder and soon I lost feeling in that arm. But I bore with it because he
was behaving so well.
He got new injuries and even lost a tooth.
“If you keep this up for another six months or so, you’re going to be like
me.”
“Hmm?” He asked as he gnawed on the tender spot under my arm.
“I got twenty-eight teeth. You will, too.”

The moment the hot air from his words brushed my ear I lost any will to
fight and instead, my heart felt warm and fuzzy. My cheeks started
burning too. Not even God could help me now.
People are stupid and self-degrading, especially those who are in love.

I was about to become a dissatisfied, nagging husband. Do you know
how free and happy I used to be? Now I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t eat. I
would look in the mirror and I’d see him, Shen Bin. I was going fucking
insane from lovesickness.
Oh, but he was fine. He was fine! Like nothing was bothering him while I...

“You know, the new development when you take a left turn from my old
shop. Sixty-seven, suite 402. I bought a big bed too. The bed sheet is blue,
super soft. We don’t have to be hobo lovers anymore. I bought a computer
too. You studied that before right...”
I said so much but I did not hear anything from the other end. I had
made him cry again.

There was a thousand or so left in my savings. Without further
hesitation, I bought a Lenovo and a cell phone.
I called him and was so excited that I couldn’t speak.
“What’s up? Ge, speak up!”
“W-we have a home now.” It just rushed out of my mouth.
“Huh?”

Luckily, my dad stopped her with a roar: Our son’s hitting thirty. He
can spend his own hard-earned money. You’ve got no business sticking
your nose in, woman!

THE WAY HES doing all this to spend the night with his bf

Why was it so hard being gay???
After seven days of suffering, I decided to buy a house and get my own
den.
People really change when they are dating. I had been prepared to stick
this life out as a single hermit and when I got old I would be an old hermit.

However, whenever I went back home at
night, he would make a puffy face and ignore me starting from dinnertime,
making my legs feel as heavy as lead, as if I would be a big asshole if I
left.
Yeesh, dating was seriously hard. I used to worry that I would bring
shame upon my parents if word got out but now I was more stressed about
not being able to cling to him every second of the day and be lovey-dovey.

With the previous experience, he merely looked at the food in front of
him like a poor puppy, not even bothering to move his left hand.
Sighing, I fed him. I bet he wished he could be injured forever.

I held the chicken soup up for him and then fed him the rice and
stripped the meat off of the pork feet. Oh boy, was he delighted. He
outright dropped everything in his hand while beaming brighter than the
sun. He ate until his mouth was all oily and shiny and he burped from
being stuffed, but he still said he wanted to eat.
You just want me to feed you, right? You spoiled brat.

Immediately, he pouted. I pinched his cheeks. “Be a good boy!” I said
as if I was talking to a kid, a kid who had gotten cut and beat a whole
bunch of people up.

The dweeb fucking peed his pants before I even
lifted a finger.”
I was witness to his prowess so it was easy to picture the confident and
violent him.
Had he changed now? Watching him brag about his old adventures like
a kid with a new toy, I found it so adorable for some reason.
I didn’t know why.
“Whatcha smilin’ for? Huh?'
