    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    After Sheng Min finished speaking, he didn't look at Li Mingge's reaction, he opened the door and walked out. No one stopped him this time.

    The sun was hot at noon, and there were not many people to be seen on the wide avenues of the community, only the cicadas were chirping tirelessly.The fiery temperature seemed to spread from the air to his body, and his whole body was in chaos.Holding his breath, he left the gate of the community, walked two streets forward aimlessly, and finally vomited out by the trash can beside the road.

    nausea.

    He thought of the gloomy villa of the Li family, Li Mingge's aloof expression, and the cautious attitude of the aunt who lived there, and felt sick for no reason.

    However, he didn't have much appetite when he got up early. Because he had to take medicine, he barely drank half a glass of milk, and didn't eat at all at noon., It took a long time to stop.

    Sheng Min supported the tree trunk and stood up slowly, wiped the cold sweat off his cheeks, felt a little better in his stomach, and went to the nearby convenience store to buy a bottle of water.

    "Are you okay?" The clerk saw his bloodless face and asked concerned, "Is it heat stroke, do you need medicine?"

    Sheng Min shook his head: "It's okay, thank you."

    This street is close to the foot of the mountain and is also designated as part of the scenic spot.The transplanted trees are tall and dense, and every ten meters or so, there is a white bench for pedestrians to rest their feet.

    Sheng Min rinsed his mouth with water and sat down on the chair wearily.The cold body of the bottle was pressed against his forehead, soaked in the air-conditioning, his thoughts slowly returned.After thinking about it, he took out his phone and sent Li Xuan a message.Facing the screen for a long while, he finally just deleted the complicated and simply said that he went to Li's house, and it seemed unclear in other text messages.

    The message soon showed that the sending was successful. Sheng Min pressed the center of his eyebrows, feeling some pain in his temples, and leaned back in the chair and sighed.The sun fell through the gaps in the leaves, and he unconsciously raised his hand to touch the light spot in front of him.

    In any case, Sheng Min thought, he was determined not to let Li Xuan go back to Li's house.

    "Where are you?"

    The moment he saw the content of the message clearly, Li Xuan suddenly woke up from the half-dream state, and without thinking about it, he dialed the phone back immediately.

    The process of waiting for the connection was not long, but in those few seconds, countless emotions whizzed past his heart.There is anger, but can't tell who it is aimed at, and the tone of mouth is not good.

    "I'm here..." Sheng Min glanced at the street signs around him, "No. 97 Ningde Road...there is a convenience store on the left at the gate of the community."

    Through the receiver, Li Xuan could clearly feel that something was wrong with Sheng Min's voice, and he forgot what he wanted to say: "What's wrong with you?"

    "What?" Sheng Min didn't seem to notice.

    Li Xuan couldn't help frowning: "I said, are you okay now?"

    "without……"

    No ghost.Hearing his obviously weak voice, Li Xuan couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and stood up while speaking: "Just wait for me where I am, I'll be right over."

    "Don't come here." When the phone was connected, Sheng Min was still secretly calculating how much money he had in his hands, and Li Xuan asked questions again. He had a headache, and his thoughts were still a little dazed.Only then did he come to his senses, "I'm fine. Let's meet at the gate of N. My car is still parked in the gymnasium."

    There are always a row of taxis parked at the entrance of the software park waiting to attract customers, but now it is close to noon, most of them are eating or waiting for a shift change, and the cars are empty.Li Xuan found a car with someone and pulled it away to sit in. The driver had just put down the lunch box, and was taken aback for a moment: "Young man, I'm not leaving now."

    "The south gate of N University's new campus." Li Xuan had already put on his seat belt, and adjusted his mask, "Can I pay double for the meter? It's really urgent and troublesome."

    The software park is in the city center, the university town is close to the outer ring, and the urban area is always congested. No matter how fast it is, it will take nearly an hour to arrive.

    It is closer from the villa area to N University, and it stands to reason that Sheng Min should arrive first, but Li Xuan got out of the car and found Sheng Min's black Audi at the entrance of the gymnasium, but there was no sign of Sheng Min in the car.

    "Hi, I'm here, you..."

    The background sound on the other side of the phone was very similar to his own. Li Xuan turned his head and saw Sheng Min coming out of a printing shop opposite, holding a black plastic bag in his hand.

    "I'm here too."

    Sheng Min obviously saw him, hung up the phone after speaking, took advantage of the green light to cross the road, and stopped about ten meters in front of Li Xuan.

    We haven't seen each other for several days. Since we met, it's the first time we've been separated for so long.The last time we parted was quite a bit of an unhappy breakup, and we felt a little uncomfortable seeing each other suddenly.

    But no matter what, seeing Sheng Min standing in front of him safely at this moment, Li Xuan really let go of the heart that had been hanging all the way since seeing the text message.

    The phone was still in his hand, and the beeps kept ringing in his ears, as if resonating with his heartbeat.They watched each other quietly, their palms felt a little hot, Li Xuan finally remembered to put away his phone.

    "Come here, you." He said, but he walked over first, and took the bag in Sheng Min's hand without any explanation. There was a thick stack of papers inside, and he didn't know what it was.

    "No, I'll just take it."

    Sheng Min tried to take it back, but Li Xuan ignored him, turned around and walked to the car: "The key."

    There are few cars in the university town and the roads are wide. A few hundred meters away from the gymnasium, there are no other cars on the road. The two of them seem to be isolated in a small world by the world.

    Li Xuan drove with a serious face and ignored him while driving, his lips were pursed into a thin slit, while Sheng Min sat in the passenger seat and looked at him secretly.

    "What are you looking at?" Li Xuan asked abruptly.

    "No." Sheng Min said softly.

    "Didn't look at me?"

    Sheng Min stopped talking.Li Xuan looked at Sheng Min's still pale face, and felt that his tone was a little too aggressive, so he coughed.

    "Why is your face so bad?"

    "How are you these days?"

    They spoke almost simultaneously and fell silent together.

    "What can I have?" Li Xuan said.

    Sheng Min said softly, "Your eyes are bloodshot."

    "It's just that I didn't sleep well." Li Xuanxin said, "Don't change the subject. It's your turn, don't say you're fine, your face is as pale as a ghost."

    "It's not so exaggerated." Sheng Min smiled, not wanting to tell him that he vomited after coming out of Li's house, so he prevaricated, "Maybe I have a bit of heatstroke."

    Li Xuan glanced at him and said nothing.After driving for a short distance, he suddenly turned right and stopped the car on the side of the road. He unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to touch Sheng Min's forehead.

    "Wait for me." He quickly withdrew his hand.He opened the door and got out of the car, and his figure quickly disappeared behind the street trees.

    In just two or three minutes, when Li Xuan came back, he still had the heat from outside the car.

    "If you don't have a fever, it shouldn't be serious. Take the medicine first." He said, skillfully unscrewed the bottle of glucose, opened another bottle of Huoxiangzhengqi water and handed it over.

    "Thank you." Sheng Min hesitated and drank obediently.The Huoxiang Zhengqi Water tasted really bad, and when he finished drinking it, he looked up, and there was a piece of stuffed candy in the palm of Li Xuanzhan's palm.

    Sheng Min's eyebrows and eyes were bent, and his fingertips slid across his palm with a cold touch.

    "I see that you are not only suffering from heat stroke, but also have a little hypoglycemia." Li Xuan watched him eat sweets slowly, and restarted the car, "I'm not in such a bad health, am I... Didn't eat lunch?" He askedHe paused for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's right, you won't be able to eat after you pass."

    "It's not that serious." Sheng Min said softly.

    Li Xuan was noncommittal: "Let's find a place to eat for a while, what do you want to eat?"

    "I don't have much appetite right now...Really, but if you're hungry, we can eat now...Did you not eat?"

    "Then we'll talk about it later." Li Xuan didn't answer him, and turned left into the side road.

    He didn't turn on the navigation, but he drove forward and passed the toll booth to the outer ring interchange, which was obviously not the way back to the apartment.

    "Are you going to get something?" Sheng Min speculated, pausing for a moment, "Where do you live these days?"

    This topic always involves the night of the quarrel not long ago, it is really not pleasant, Sheng Min's voice is much softer: "I asked at the hotel and said you didn't go..."

    "The bridge hole." Li Xuan obviously remembered what happened that day, and didn't want to mention it, so he interrupted him casually.

    He just said it casually, but Sheng Min immediately fell silent, and quickly turned his head to the side.At first Li Xuan thought he was angry, but when he stopped the car at the red light, he realized that his expression was wrong.

    "What's the matter with you? This expression...you can't believe it. I lied to you."

    "I know, I don't have a letter." Sheng Min said, eyes still downcast, "Really...the green light is on, and I'm urging you from behind."

    He tried his best to sound relaxed, but his low mood was still evident. Li Xuan quickly figured out the key to it. After restarting, he asked, "What did they tell you?"

    Sheng Min didn't answer for a while, and Li Xuan didn't rush.

    "Did you get scared today?" He said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I'm not so stupid at ordinary times, so just go if you're told. He won't tie you up and give me a chance to call me secretlynothing?"

    "If I tell you, you will definitely not let me go."

    "You really want to go?"

    "I don't want you to go. I don't want you to deal with everything by yourself."

    He blurted out, his voice fell, and he felt that the statement was a bit inappropriate: "I want to say, we can't separate everything now. I said it before, you..."

    "If I meddle in your business, you will get angry, but you are more than happy to meddle in my business." Li Xuan interrupted him.

    "...It's different." Sheng Min was taken aback.

    "What's the difference?"

    "I'm not angry anyway." Sheng Min avoided the seriousness, "Obviously you are angry."

    "Of course I'm angry, shouldn't I? Not everyone can learn from you to be a Bodhisattva." Li Xuan glanced at him, seeing that Sheng Min seemed to be apologizing, he didn't want to hear this, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now."

    He waved his hands irritably, and then eased his tone: "But I do have a problem with this matter today, I didn't tell you in advance, and I didn't expect him to block the school so soon, I thought it would be at least next week....didn't do anything to you, did it?"

    "What will they do to you?" Sheng Min raised his head vigilantly, thinking of the scars on Li Xuan's body, "...Have they ever hit you?"

    "It's nothing." Li Xuan shook his head reassuringly, "I mean, when Shu Xin gets sick, she can't control it... Really, she never hit me, they are all high-level intellectuals, so they wouldn't hit me casually."People. And when I got to their house, I was no longer a child, let alone beat me."

    "So they are indeed your adoptive parents?"

    "Forget it."

    This was originally an obvious question, but Sheng Min couldn't help frowning after receiving an affirmative answer.

    "Don't frown." Li Xuan couldn't see him like this, "I said it's fine."

    Sheng Min lowered his head and took a sip of water: "Got it... I have nothing to do today, and I didn't stay long... But I probably offended him..."

    He gave a brief account of the conversation in the study, trying to avoid those remarks that made him feel uncomfortable.However, Li Mingge's attitude was consistent, even if Sheng Min didn't say anything, Li Xuan could guess it.His expression was always calm.

    "It's over?"

    "Um."

    Li Xuan nodded, pursed his lower lip, but asked him: "You knew Zhao Jizhe before?"

    "When I went to fetch your books last time, a letter fell out. But I didn't open it."

    "It's fine if you open it." Li Xuan didn't care.

    "When will he be released from prison? If we haven't changed back by then, should I pick him up?"

    "we'll talk about it then."

    Sheng Min hummed, he didn't care about this originally, so he didn't continue to ask.

    "You don't have to worry about anything else. It's fine." Li Xuan saw through his thoughts, "If Li Mingge were to be offended so easily, I would have pissed him off 800 times, and he wouldn't be able to suffer for you....So even if he really wants to suppress me, it has nothing to do with what you did today, so you don't have to worry about it at all."

    "Will he really?"

    "Maybe."

    "You're not worried at all?"

    Sheng Min pursed her lips, but the worry in her eyes did not fade away.Li Xuan glanced at him, thought for a while and suddenly said: "After my parents passed away, I was sent to an orphanage because I had no relatives to adopt me, not the one in N City."Sheng Min once went to the city for filming when he was a child.

    "Then something happened, and I ran away from there. I was about eleven years old. At that time, child labor was not so strict. In short, I took part-time jobs. I wandered all the way to N City, and then I met Li Minger. TheyAdopted me... I never thought I would stay in their house for so long, I thought it would only be a year or two... Their family used to have a son, but he is gone, you went todayOnce, you should know, right?" Li Xuan asked suddenly.

    "I probably guessed it." Sheng Min asked after deliberation, "Were you adopted after his death?"

    "No." Li Xuan shook his head. "When he passed away, I had stayed at their house for more than a year. He was not in good health, and he chatted with me the night before he died, saying that if he left, I wouldCan you accompany his mother for him? I didn't care at all at the time, but he really died the next day... Li Mingge thought that I was willing to stay in their house all these years because I was waiting for his family fortune, or because I'm afraid of him. He thinks whatever he likes, I just don't think it's necessary to break his promise to the dead."

    Already seeing the Software Park, Li Xuan slowed down the car and turned into the gate: "I originally planned to wait until Zhao Jizhe came out to have a showdown with Li Minge.Okay, but since his father is in such a hurry, there's nothing he can do. Anyway, I have a clear conscience. Even if I meet him someday, I don't owe him anything. As for Li Minger..." He smiled softly, "Don't worry if you ask me, to be honest, it will be a bit troublesome. But I knew early on that he would not let me go so easily. Since I will tear my face, it's better to be early. I'm looking forward to it......Are you feeling better now?"

    Sheng Min's expression was obviously absent.Li Xuan smiled and sighed: "Forget it, you can ask whatever you want...don't frown, and don't look at me like that."

    Of course, there are still many questions, so many are omitted in Li Xuan's narration...why did he run away, why did Li Mingge adopt him, when did Shu Xin go crazy, and how did she happen to admit that he was herWhat does Zhao Jizhe's son have to do with the whole thing...and the scar on Li Xuan's waist...

    All the mysteries are still lingering, and Sheng Min knows that this may be the moment he is closest to the answer.But self-disclosure of scars is always too painful, even though Li Xuan seemed indifferent and supercilious, Sheng Min couldn't bear the possibility of him having a little pain.

    "I don't have anything to ask." He said lightly and solemnly, "I just hope you are well."

    "Don't be sensational, I don't like this..." Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

    "Li Xuan." Sheng Min cut him off gently, "If he really troubles you, if, I mean, if you can't solve it, don't resist. Since you said you have a clear conscience, then don't let him goGo back to Li's house."

    Li Xuan found a parking space downstairs and stopped, still in a joking tone: "Why are you so afraid of me going back? It seems that the psychological shadow left on you today is too great, right? You still said it's okay."

    Because you are too good, no one should look down on you.Sheng Min thought to himself, but he didn't say anything, he just said, "But you must tell me."

    "What's the reason?"

    "I'll help you." Sheng Min said softly, "I don't know anything about computers, but if you need money or anything else, I've been debuting for so many years, I still have some..."

    "No need." Li Xuan idly knocked on the steering wheel and asked him again, "Why do you want to help me so much?"

    "Didn't you say that I am a clay bodhisattva?"

    Li Xuan was taken aback, shook his head and laughed lowly.

    "Okay." Sheng Min didn't smile, and only looked at him with a pair of eyes. The light in his eyes was like a bay of snow in early spring, which dissolved Li Xuan's casual smile, "You promise me."

    Li Xuan didn't answer in the end, neither good nor bad.

    "Don't worry about me." He said to Sheng Min, and opened the car door, "Get out of the car first."
