The silence in the living room lasted less than a minute before it was broken by Wei Shijin, who smiled happily, “Da Shu, you look very sexy when you lose your temper and swear.”

Song Min’s ear was licked, he raised his arm and hit Wei Shijin’s jaw with his elbow.

Wei Shijin was hit directly, and the pain in his jaw made him crazy. His demeanor and elegance were gone in an instant. He stretched out his tongue to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips. He did not fight back or take the rude action of fighting violence with violence. Instead, he pressed on the man’s lips.

A fishy-sweet taste spread in Song Min’s mouth. It was the blood in Wei Shijin’s mouth. The taste was very strong. His brows were furrowed, and the inner walls of his mouth were violently scraped. The feeling rushed straight to his brain, and his scalp tightened.

Wei Shijin half closed his eyes and pressed his thumb on the man’s cheek. He kissed him and swallowed at the same time, which was both enjoyable and erotic.

Song Min grabbed Wei Shijin’s hair and pulled it back, forcing him to distance himself from him, “Mad dog.”

Wei Shijin’s breath was heavy. He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and laughed in his throat, “Yesterday you called me a dog, today you called me a mad dog. Da Shu, please, next time use a different adjective, something fresh.”

Song Min did not loosen the hand that was holding Wei Shijin’s hair, and he pushed back with force, and the muscles on his arm were tense with a solid force.

Wei Shijin’s scalp ached, and a piece of skin was almost pulled off by the man. He grabbed the man’s waist and smiled coldly, “Da Shu, why is this move of yours so instinctive? Is this how you fight back when someone hits you?”

Song Min’s eyes flashed and he turned his head.

Wei Shijin took in the man’s instantaneous change, and it seemed that what he said was right. He pulled the man to his chest, and with a little force, he trapped him between his legs. He skipped the topic. There was no point in bringing up the old things, which were all dust, “If you don’t want to see the exhibition, then it’s up to you.”

Song Min thought Wei Shijin would ask further questions, but he didn’t. After all, everyone is curious.

Wei Shijin pinched the man’s face and made him face him, “Do you know what attracted me to you the first time? It wasn’t your flawless face, but your eyes, which have hooks hidden in them.”

Song Min lowered his eyelids, hook? Who said that?

Wei Shijin bit the tip of the man’s nose and smiled with interest, “Da Shu, you hooked me.”

Song Min’s breathing stagnated as he thought of that man. He pushed Wei Shijin onto the sofa with a fierce look in his eyes, with flames flashing in them. He hadn’t lost his temper in many years, and the few times he had sworn recently were all behind closed doors, never in front of others. This was the first time he had lost control.

Wei Shijin’s eyes narrowed behind his lenses, feeling that he had become a scapegoat, taking the blame for others. He was still smiling and put on a lazy posture of “I can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want” and he said, “You must have used all your strength just now. You are a little breathless, which means you haven’t exercised recently. You are lazy. It’s only a matter of time before your eight-pack abs become just one.”

Song Min bent down to touch Wei Shijin’s pocket, took his cigarette case and lighter, skillfully took a cigarette from it, lit it and put it to his lips, blowing a smoke ring into the air. There was a clear vicissitude on his face, as well as the decadence and numbness after being hurt. He had no hope and expectation for life and the future.

“Wei Shijin, with your conditions and family background, there are plenty of people who would choose you. Why waste your time on a middle-aged man in his 50s? If this gets out, your family will lose face, and your friends and relatives will look at you strangely, thinking that you are mentally ill. No matter from which point of view, what you are doing now will bring you trouble.”

Song Min used the smell of nicotine to calm himself down and stopped being angry. He tried to reason with Wei Shijin calmly, but his argument didn’t work.

“Old people in their fifties? Do you even believe it when you say that.”

Wei Shijin put his arm on the back of the sofa, “Da Shu, this is the first time you have talked so much to me since we met. But I am twenty-six, not sixteen, let alone six years old. What you said is nothing to me. Life is unpredictable. Don’t look at me talking to you now. Maybe we will die on the way back today.”

He crossed his long legs, gave a rare sigh and then smiled, “Is there anything wrong with liking something, wanting to get it, and wanting to possess it? No, it’s very logical.”

Song Min paused while smoking and asked with a strange look on his face, “Do you like me?”

Wei Shijin looked hurt, “What Da Shu asked is really sad. If I don’t like Da Shu, why bother?”

Song Min glanced at the young man’s crotch, “What do you like?”

Wei Shijin frankly leaned back a little to show the man, and said jokingly, “It is also a part of my body, and a very important part at that. It is related to my entire life.”

Song Min glanced contemptuously from the corner of his mouth, extremely subtle.

Catching the man’s expression at that moment, Wei Shijin’s breathing became heavy, and felt that he was more attractive at this moment. It seemed that this was the way it should be. This was the real him, not a piece of wood emitting a rotten smell, “Da Shu, I know you have a secret. Huang Dan has one, and Chen Yue has one too. It’s about the three of you.”

Song Min’s pupils shrank slightly. He lowered his head and smoked silently. A hand reached out and took the cigarette from between his fingers. The young man laughed in his ears, “Everyone has secrets, I have too. Don’t be afraid, Da Shu.”

“I have nothing to be afraid of.”

Wei Shijin’s eyes were sharp, but his voice was gentle, “Da Shu, has anyone ever told you that you would blink several times when you lie?”

Song Min rubbed his lowered hands lightly, almost unnoticeably.

Thinking of the past? Wei Shijin took two puffs of the cigarette, and his tongue brushed over the saliva left on the man’s cigarette butt. He chuckled, “Looking at the way you smoke, you’re an old smoker.”

Song Min went to get the cup on the table to drink some water. After drinking it, he remembered that Wei Shijin had drunk from it before. His Adam’s apple rolled twice, and he drank a few more sips to dilute the fishy and sweet taste in his mouth.

Wei Shijin flicked the ash off his cigarette, walked over, rested his chin on the man’s shoulder, and blew into his neck, “Da Shu, if we don’t leave now, we’ll be late. There are surveillance cameras in the corridor. Are you sure you want me to carry you downstairs?”

Song Min looked sideways.

Wei Shijin held the cigarette butt between his teeth and looked at him with a half-smile, “Huh?”

A few seconds later, Song Min turned and went to the bedroom. When he came out, he had changed out of his dark gray home clothes and put on a windbreaker and trousers, with an upright posture.

Wei Shijin shook his head. It would have been better if the other party had cooperated earlier. He casually said, “Da Shu, you don’t have procrastination, do you?”

Song Min’s eyelids twitched.

Really? Wei Shijin spun the key on his fingertips. How come he got so many things right in such a short time? He narrowed his eyes. The shell that the man had wrapped around him was broken. He could peel it off with a few simple pokes, revealing the true side hidden inside.

“What a coincidence! My lifestyle is specifically designed to cure procrastination. Follow me and I guarantee you’ll be cured.”

Song Min put on his leather shoes. His face was tense, and he said coldly, “Your top priority is to cure the rabies.”

Wei Shijin shook his shoulders, “Da Shu is being humorous with me, not bad.”

Three minutes before nine o’clock, Wei Shijin showed the invitation letter and took Song Min into the gallery.

When Song Min was on a mission, he took on different identities and lives. One of them was a young painter who ran out of inspiration and could not paint, so he locked himself in a small room and secretly took drugs. As a result, he became neither human nor ghost. Not only did he still have no inspiration, but his body was also ruined. In the end, he successfully quit drugs, his painting style changed drastically, which attracted the attention of the media and caused a huge response. He also wrote his experience into a best-selling book, gaining both fame and fortune.

The mission that time was to ruin a good hand of cards, and then play the bad cards well to turn the tide. Now when Song Min thinks back on it, it was actually just a hassle. People are often having a hard time when they are alive.

If you want to live a life without any troubles, you are either about to lie down or have already lied down.

The gallery was filled with a solemn and encouraging atmosphere. No one was making loud noises, and no one was running around. Those who came were all dignitaries and celebrities. Whether it was because of their good character or just for the sake of face, they deliberately kept their voices and footsteps down so as not to disturb others.

Questions such as brushwork and techniques are left to professionals to comment on. Most people come here just to look at the paintings and feel the artistic conception that the master has created with his brush.

Wei Shijin saw Song Min stopping in front of a painting. He walked over and took a look. The painting was a mountain stream, extremely narrow and long and thin. It made the viewer depressed, “Da Shu, do you like it?”

Song Min’s words were full of appreciation, “The painting is very good.”

When Wei Shijin heard this, he moved his eyes to the side of the man’s face. He raised his eyebrows with interest, “What? Da Shu knows how to draw?”

Song Min said calmly, “I am getting older and I usually have nothing to do. I just plant flowers, raise fish, and practice calligraphy and painting to pass the time.”

Wei Shijin’s facial muscles twitched, and the man became lifeless again. He thought of the goldfish in the jar, which was slowly rotting in the water, “Don’t talk about your age all the time. You’re old even if you’re not old.”

Song Min’s body was indeed in the prime of his life and he was healthier than the average person. The traces of time on his face were very faint, but his heart had grown old and could not beat anymore before he traveled to this parallel world. He had long forgotten what it felt like to have an accelerated heartbeat.

Wei Shijin accidentally caught a glimpse of something, and he suddenly pulled Song Min behind the pillar and said, “Shh.”

Song Min asked with eyes.

Wei Shijin pushed up his glasses and whispered, “My Jie.”

He secretly observed the situation. She caught a plane and left after the conversation yesterday. Why did she appear here today? Could it be that she came here specifically to catch him?

Song Min said, “Your Jie probably knew you would bring me to the gallery, so her target is me.”

When Wei Shijin saw that the man wanted to speak, he immediately covered his mouth with his palm.

The clicking sound of high heels came from a distance, paused for a second or two, and then moved away again.

Wei Shijin’s tense back relaxed. His Jie only used one brand of perfume, and the smell is faint, which means that she is not around.

Song Min took his hand off, “Are you afraid of your Jie?”

Wei Shijin took off his glasses and smoothed his hair, “It’s not fear, it’s annoyance. Many of her ideas are different from mine. When there is no conflict, we can sit down and eat and chat, but when there is a conflict, the conversation will collapse.”

Song Min raised his eyebrows, “Biological Jie?”

Wei Shijin nodded to him, “Biological.”

Song Min walked out from behind the pillar, and Wei Shijin pulled him back again, “Wait a while.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Shijin’s cell phone rang. It was his Jie who called him. He grabbed the man’s wrist with one hand and held the cell phone with the other, “Hello.”

A cold and capable female voice came from the other end, “He is fifty-seven years old, but his physical features are those of a man in his early thirties. I never thought that such a person would exist in the world. He is younger than in the photo, and even more incredible.”

Wei Shijin’s tone dropped, “What do you want to do?”

“I won’t do anything, and you’d better not do anything either. Song Min’s physical condition is weird and unscientific. Chen Yue’s lover is the same. Shi Jin, I told you that the unknown means danger.”

Wei Shijin smiled and said, “Jie, when did you become so concerned about my private life? One year a teenager came to my house, crying and shouting that I had touched him, and wanted me to be responsible for him, check the surveillance, and go to the hospital for a checkup before I was cleared of all charges. Didn’t you just watch for fun?”

Song Min glanced at the smile on Wei Shijin’s face, which showed a lot of scheming.

Wei Shijin hung up the phone, “My Jie meant that you are an unknown creature and told me not to touch it.”

Song Min thought, your Jie is right.

Wei Shijin put the phone back in his pocket, “After hearing that, do you think she is worried about me, her Didi?”

Song Min asked, “Isn’t it?”

Wei Shijin smile charmingly, “Of course not, she knows my temper, the more she tries to stop me, the more I persist.”

He shrugged, “So my Jie is waiting to see me screw up, preferably so I can go home crying to my mom.”

“……”

Song Min said, “I believe you are siblings.”

Someone came over, Wei Shijin turned around and greeted him gracefully, his eyes fixed on the man, paying attention to his whereabouts.

Song Min did not leave, nor did he do anything else. He just admired the paintings. Since he was here, he should feast his eyes.

It was almost time for lunch, so Wei Shijin took Song Min to Xiyuan, where the buildings were quaint, surrounded by mountains and water, and had beautiful scenery. It was suitable for a vacation with family, friends, colleagues, or lovers.

Wei Shijin was an old acquaintance of the owner of Xiyuan. He greeted him in advance and took Song Min directly to the private room on the second floor.

Song Min stood on the corridor on the second floor and looked into the distance. The sky was clear and the mountains and rivers were picturesque. He closed his eyes and took a breath of the air. It was very fresh.

Wei Shijin noticed the man’s relaxation. He put his hands in his pockets and squinted into the distance, “Don’t want to come in the morning.”

Song Min didn’t show any expression of being slapped in the face.

Wei Shijin raised his lips, “People nowadays live at a fast pace, and they can relieve stress in places like this. As for you, Da Shu, there is no pressure to relieve, it’s just too empty, you need to fill it with something.”

Song Min withdrew his gaze from afar, “What to fill?”

“Let’s see what Da Shu wants.”

Wei Shijin smiled gently and gracefully at the man, “Looking at the current situation, what I filled in is what Da Shu wants.”

Song Min’s face lines tightened, “You’re just being clever.”

Wei Shijin rubbed the man’s earlobe and withdrew his hand before he could resist, “Da Shu, I like you more and more.”

Song Min was immune to those words.

To be exact, he didn’t believe that all the promises, vows, and sweet words were not solid. They could be solid one second and collapse the next.

If there’s one thing that Song Min can believe in, maybe it’s only time.

All kinds of monsters and demons can reveal their true colors under the magic mirror of time, and time can also corrode those substances floating on the surface.

Song Min and Wei Shijin entered the private room and took in all the surrounding scenery along the way, “This place is great.”

“Isn’t, can I bring you here?”

Wei Shijin took the teapot and poured tea. “There is a peach forest in the south, and all the flowers are in bloom. Let’s go for a walk after dining.”

Song Min said, “I won’t go.”

Wei Shijin took off his glasses and put them aside, “Da Shu, what kind of lifestyle is this? You should take a walk after a meal to help digestion. Looking at flowers and plants is good for your physical and mental health.”

Song Min lowered his eyelids and folded his fingers on his abdomen. He was silent and expressionless, like a statue, a work of art.

Wei Shijin’s upper body leaned forward, his arms supporting the table and looking at the man. His eyes fell on the wound on his face. The bite he made yesterday left a small mark and it would take two or three days to disappear.

“Da Shu, you still owe me a glass of wine. Isn’t today time to pay it back?”

Song Min leaned back in his chair and asked, “Why are you so obsessed with this?”

Wei Shijin said ambiguously and romantically, “Because this is the first agreement between me and Da Shu.”

He is tall, handsome, has eyes like peach blossoms, smiling but not smiling, and full of affection. He is young and promising with an astonishing net worth. He has a prominent family background and is the son of an official. These words are concentrated in one person, the so-called child of destiny.

If someone else were to sit here instead of Song Min, they would be so moved.

The waiter brought in the dishes, one plate after another, and soon the table was full, along with a jug of wine.

Wei Shijin pointed at the blue and white porcelain plate in the middle, “Steamed sea bass, Xiyuan’s signature dish. This dish was made by my friend himself. How does it taste?”

Song Min picked up a shrimp with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, saying incoherently, “I don’t eat fish.”

Wei Shijin asked with curiosity, “Don’t eat fish? Are you allergic?”

Song Min said, “I’m afraid of fish bones.”

Wei Shijin, “……” Bass itself has very few bones.

To be on the safe side, he picked up a piece of fish belly meat and handed it to the man, “This one has no bones.”

Song Min put a piece of fungus meat with chopsticks into a small bowl, “Eat it yourself.”

Wei Shijin continued feeding him, “If you come to Xiyuan and don’t eat this dish, it’s like you haven’t come at all. Try a bite.”

Song Min was impatient, “I said, you eat……”

Wei Shijin withdrew from the man’s mouth and licked his lips with lingering interest, “Does it taste good?”

Song Min took out a thorn from his mouth with his hand, “What is this?”

Wei Shijin’s eyes showed surprise. That place was the belly of the fish, and there shouldn’t be any small thorns. Embarrassment flashed across his face, and he coughed and said, “This is not a bone.”

Song Min put it in front of him, “Then eat it and show it to me.”

Wei Shijin dropped it on the table and said, “There is a table of dishes here. I want to save my stomach and not eat anything else.”

Song Min lowered his head to eat the food and ignored him.

Wei Shijin picked up a piece of white meat from under the fish’s eyes with chopsticks and said, “I can guarantee that this one is boneless.”

Song Min knew there wouldn’t be any, as he had only eaten the fish meat there before, with a piece on each side, called crescent-shaped meat.

Wei Shijin poured a glass of wine and put it in front of the man’s table. He picked up his own glass of wine and said, “Da Shu, have a drink with me.”

Song Min asked Wei Shijin what kind of wine it was, and he said it was good wine, which was equivalent to saying nothing.

After taking a sip of wine, Song Min’s face was covered with heat and turned red.

Wei Shijin’s glass was empty, so he refilled it, “According to my observation, people who get drunk easily can drink, but those who don’t get drunk easily can’t drink.”

Song Min’s calf was rubbed under the table and he kicked it away.

Wei Shijin felt pain and a vein popped out on his forehead. He drank the wine like it was boiled water, and did not forget to pick up some fish for the man.

Song Min thought Wei Shijin would fall down after drinking so much, but to his surprise, he seemed fine.

The temperature was just right in the afternoon, and Song Min and Wei Shijin went fishing at the lake.

Wei Shijin caught two fish, but he thought they were too small so he put them back into the lake. They were not even enough to fill his teeth.

Song Min caught a bucket.

Wei Shijin was not convinced, “Your bait is the same as mine.”

Song Min said, “There is no difference between bait, hook and rod, but people are different.”

Wei Shijin was stunned. He pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, “Da Shu, you are good at hurting others.”

Song Min put away the fishing rod and took off the fish from the hook.

Wei Shijin caught some and put them in his own bucket, and also caught three or four big ones from Song Min’s bucket, without blushing or beating his heart, “Da Shu, we’ll eat the fish you caught tonight, and will you take the rest with you, or leave them in Xiyuan?”

Song Min said, “I won’t take it.”

It would be troublesome to go back and burn it, and no one would bother to burn it alone.

Wei Shijin washed his hands in the bucket, “Then keep in Xiyuan and ask my friend to cook more dishes for you next time.”

Some people will list out rules and regulations when doing things. They will make a plan first and then execute them one by one without disrupting them and follow the order. Huang Dan is that kind of person, and so is Wei Shijin.

Wei Shijin’s arrangements were meticulous. In the evening, he took Song Min to a hot spring, “Da Shu, I’m only free today this month. I won’t be so free next time.”

Song Min felt something sink on his back, and a bear lay there.

Wei Shijin was taller, so he bent over and lay on the man’s back and walked forward, “Call me if you miss me, and I’ll come to see you. You can also come to see me yourself.”

“Don’t say it’s impossible, Da Shu. You can’t say for sure. Whether you miss me or not, it’s 50% each.”

Song Min bent his elbow backward with great force.

Wei Shijin turned sideways to avoid it. He was careless in the morning and was hit on the lower jaw, which is still bruised.

“If you keep hitting me at the drop of a hat all at once, I won’t be able to call you Da Shu. I’ll have to call you DaGe.”

Song Min pulled the young man from his back to the side. He was about to speak when he yawned and felt sleepy.

Wei Shijin frowned, “You didn’t take sleeping pills, did you?”

Song Min didn’t bring it with him. The fatigue appeared between his eyebrows and he couldn’t hide it.

Wei Shijin hugged his neck and said, “You were just idle before. Find something to do. Why do you need to eat that stuff?”

Song Min did not refute.

Wei Shijin bit a piece of flesh on the man’s neck and sucked it, and as expected, he was beaten.

Song Min and Wei Shijin did not go to a public hot spring pool, but to an independent room with good facilities and suitable for young couples or couples.

Song Min stepped into the hot spring pool, and the burning gaze behind him penetrated into his bones.

Wei Shijin’s eyes wandered freely over the man’s body who had a healthy complexion, well-defined muscles, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the lines from his hips to his legs were very seductive. He wanted to pull the piece of cloth off.

Putting aside other things, such a body is enough to make people unable to take their eyes off.

Wei Shijin’s eyes were full of understanding, and his voice was filled with lust, “Da Shu, I look at you and look, I’m hard.”

Song Min sat in the pool, poured some water on his chest, and exhaled, “How many times a day do you get hard.”

Wei Shijin squatted on the edge of the pool. He took his glasses and his eyes were full of desire, “Isn’t that Da Shu is more attractive.”

Song Min closed his eyes and heard the young man’s laughter, “Da Shu, you are quite courageous. You know I want you, but you can still soak in the water so calmly.”

Wei Shijin was waiting for the man to say, “You think you can get it if you want it,” but he didn’t expect him to be fooled and was very smart.

Song Min was sleepy and his brain was slow to react, but he was also open-minded and decided to just take things as they came.

The water in the pool is soft and feels very comfortable when you float in it. Song Min hasn’t had such a fulfilling day in a long time. He leaned against the stone wall, his eyelids gradually drooping.

Wei Shijin answered the phone and came back. The man fell asleep.
