Chapter 65: Jubo Chapter 65 \nWang Cheng leaned against the door, his chest undulating violently. In his twenty-five years of life, he had never exhausted his energy as much as he did now, even when fighting against the old monk. The old monk was old. It was not as easy to bring him down as the monk, so he later learned that he needed to give it more than his all.\nChu Yifeng was doing better than him: his hair was not messy, his clothes were not wrinkled, and the frequency of his chest undulations was not the same as Wang Chengâs. He had adjusted his breathing one step ahead of him, and there seemed to be a glow in his eyes. At this moment, although he expected Wang Cheng to have good skills, he did not expect him to play so well.
Some things didnât need to be explained, the answer was already in mind.
Wang Cheng picked up the goods on the ground and turned around. If he couldnât bring them all, it wasnât a big deal, he could come up again. As for Chu Yifeng, he no longer existed.
The elevator was about to close, but one foot blocked the door. When Wang Cheng stared at the foot and was hesitating to step on it, Chu Yifeng came in with the rest of the groceries.
âI didnât ask you to help.â
âYou invited me.â
Wang Cheng remembered what they had said before the fight, and he did ask, but took it for granted that he would help him. It was too bad, why did he recruit a wolf for himself â saying he was a wolf was underestimating him, clearly he was a biting tiger, a big mafia boss. Which did he do better: rob or murder?
âWhat do you want?â
âDidnât you guess it already, or do you want me to say it clearly?â Chu Yifeng calmly.
Wang Cheng was upset. âYouâre so sure I will agree?â
He wasnât a fool. Chu Yifeng was right. He did feel something. He hadnât eaten pork, but heâd seen a pig run away and hadnât picked it up. How could he come up and ask, âAre you right for me?â or âIâm interestedâ? He wasnât looking for a lover, not to mention that they were both men. Just because he didnât have a girlfriend, didnât mean he liked men.
âYou feel it too, and you canât deny it.â\nChu Yifeng didnât talk much, but every sentence that had secretly pierced Wang Chengâs heart was directly spoken by him. This was one of the reasons for his unhappiness, Chu Yifeng spoke as if everything was under his control. He didnât want him to be so confident.
The elevator opened on the correct floor, and Wang Cheng stepped out without looking back. âBoss Chu, do you think you can read minds? Iâll honestly tell you, this time you guessed wrong.â
âBe a man and admit it.â
âThen you treat me as a man.â
Chu Yifeng followed him and laughed when he heard this sentence.
Wang Cheng turned around and saw him laughing, and blurted out, âKeep smiling!â âIf he smiled so wellâŚâ
Wang Cheng opened the trunk and stuffed things around. He wanted to close the door, but Chu Yifeng still carried his stuff. They were necessities that he had spent a lot of money on. It was cheaper for him to keep, so once Chu Yifeng put them away, he took the driverâs seat.
Chu Yifeng didnât get in. He stood by the door and said to Wang Cheng, âIâll give you two days.â
Did that mean that he would end this during Mid-Autumn Festival?
Wang Chengâs answer was to drive away without going back until he could no longer see Chu Yifeng in the rearview mirror. His straight back leaned against the chair. While waiting for a green light at a crossroads, he pulled out his cell phone and called Yuan Xia.
Yuan Xiaâs school was also closed, so he didnât need to go to work now. The two people had agreed on a meeting place. After hanging up the phone, the green light had just turned on.
At the destination, Yuan Xia had not yet arrived.\nWang Cheng parked the car in a temporary parking spot on the side of the road. He grabbed the box of moon cakes from [Houfeng]. The moon cake was one of the two boxes that Chu Yifeng gave him, which were very high-grade and just right for gifting.
After a while, Yuan Xia arrived. He lived nearby, so he had walked over and might have been a bit tired and breathless.
âSorry to keep you waiting.â
âNo, it was just two or three minutes. Iâm not in a hurry.â Wang Cheng said this to him and then gave him the moon cake. âOthers gave some, this is extra.â
Yuan Xia took the moon cake. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, this period was great for gifting moon cakes. There was nothing to refuse between friends. He also grabbed a box out. âAlthough it is not as high-end as your box of moon cakes, it is heartfelt. â
âNo need.â Wang Cheng waved his hand. âI still have several boxes in my trunk. I canât finish them and will give them to my family when I get back. In the end, itâs not a gift.â
âIsnât this box of moon cakes given to you by your boss?â Yuan Xia suddenly thought of something. He had always cared a little about the relationship between Wang Cheng and his old boss, and after he knew more about them, he paid more attention to it. Itâs just that this was Wang Chengâs private matter, and even as a friend it wasnât too good to speak.
Wang Cheng touched his nose. âWhatâs wrong?â
Yuan Xia asked hesitantly, âAre you and your boss doing well now?â
âItâs okay.â Although homosexuality was no longer a rare thing, there were not many people who could accept it. Wang Cheng hesitated for a moment and didnât plan to tell him. However, he forgot that his current tone was very different from usual, so Yuan Xia, all of a sudden, still noticed.
âBetween you ⌠did something happen?â Yuan Xia tentatively asked.
Wang Cheng was somewhat surprised by his sensitivity and simply said, âThere is something, but I havenât figured it out yet. Iâll tell you when I figure it out.â
\nMama Wangâs motherâs family only had two grandfathers, a grandmother, and a granddaughter. Her children had already started a family. Wang Cheng had two grandmothers. His grandmother died early, leaving only one son. Now he had started a family and his children were born. He didnât live in the village, so they rarely met. His auntie ran away with a man. One year later, the auntie died, and there was no more news.
Eldest great-auntie also did not live in the Guanâs Village. Her family lived in the city, their family moved to the city as early as 15 years ago. Their days were not rich, but their life was very happy. Eldest great-auntie was very filial, she wanted to bring her two elders to live with them, but they didnât like life in the city and had to leave. She and her family should have been returning to the Guanâs Village during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, but they may not come until the day after tomorrow.
Seeing Wang Cheng coming, the grandpa quickly took him in and saw that he also brought moon cakes. He was worried that he would not have enough money to spend in the future, because he thought they were bought by Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng quickly explained that it was given by a friend, and when he heard this, he felt relieved. He made some moon cakes for Wang Cheng himself, not with egg yolk filling, but with meat filling, and the taste was not sweet, but savory. This was originally made by Wang Chengâs grandmother. Wang Cheng had eaten his maternal grandmotherâs craft on the mountain before. The taste was very good, and the old monk also liked it very much.
Wang Cheng accompanied the two elders to talk in the house for more than half an hour, talking about his own affairs, and also about his younger sister and older brother. The older people loved to listen to the younger peopleâs affairs. Holding a bundle of money directly in front of them would make them happier.
He did not leave until the aunt came over. His aunt was seven years older than Mama Wang, she was the eldest in the family, and her life was tragic.
Her husband derailed and ran away with a woman when his son was one year old, leaving his child and a widow behind. He finally pulled the son back when he was eight years old, but as a result, the son fell over and broke his head. His mentality stayed at eight years old, so that the aunt had to always drag him to grow up, and although he could take care of himself like a normal person, it was impossible to think of going outside and asking for a real life.
The mother and son lived in the Guanâs Village, not far from the house of the grandpas. In the past, the two grandpas always gave them food. Now the two men were older and it was more and more difficult for them to move. The aunt often went to do some housework for them. Life had been a bit harder, but fairly comfortable.

T/N: Sorry, the family part can be confusing. I donât even know who Wang Cheng is meeting?ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ âGreat-auntâ was originally âfirst auntâ, but then there is the other eldest aunt, so⌠I assume it was the motherâs generationâs aunt?
