Chapter 113

Edited by: kapekopicoffee

In the Terminal Food Group, everyone was thinking about a serious question.

We all know him.

Who do we all know?

The only people we all know are the people in this group!

Deer Over Fragrant Grass was extremely alert, rushing out at the first moment. “Look carefully, it’s him not her, it’s a man not a woman!”

Everyone was suddenly startled and got the point.

“@Soren, come out.”

“@Soren, come out now.”

“@Soren, come out right away and give out red packets!”

Soren collapsed. “Not me not me really not me! Don’t keep private messaging me while pinging me! Stop it, be human!”

After he sent this long message, he felt that it wasn’t enough, so he sent a long voice message too.

Everyone clicked on it.

Soren’s hoarse cries of grievance immediately rang in the speakers. His whole point was that he would never have his chrysanthemum bloom for Eunuch, this dead gay man. It was really sad to hear, and all the listeners shed tears.

So, everyone turned their suspicion to: “Since it isn’t Soren, then it must be Eggy. Eunuch once went to see Eggy, and Eggy even wrote a small paper, He came, my heart is at ease , to let everyone know about their gay love. Could it be, you guys have fallen in love at first sight?”

Calm Egg: “Stop.”

Calm Egg: “How could it be me?”

Calm Egg: “Don’t smear people’s innocence out of nowhere!”

Calm Egg sent three messages one after the other, getting more agitated with each message, and didn’t stop there. He immediately sent three photos, one of his left hand, one of his right hand, and one of both his hands.

He said, “You see, I’m proving myself. I placed both my hands to prove my innocence. Could such a beautiful hand be mine? My hands are the hooves in the photos I just sent!”

All the answers were ruled out, and everyone found that only one last impossible possibility remained: “Master, you’re the only one left in the group who’s still single.”

Six Flavour Monk wanted to cry but had no tears. “Amitabha, this monk has dedicated this life to the Buddha. This greed, anger and lust cannot taint this monk!”

Li Shuoxing: “?????”

He hadn’t said a word, and the discussion in the group was already like wild dogs with prolapsed anuses, all jumping up towards the sun.

He collapsed and said, “What the hell are you guys talking about!”

Everyone was also puzzled. “Who else do we all know apart from everyone in this group? Could it be someone we know in a broader sense? Did you get together with Night Tour? Or did you get together with Silent Stream? Or did you get together with the Terminal mysterious man and you’re self-gong self-shou?”

Li Shuoxing suddenly noticed something. He said confusedly, “What does that mean? Why is it self-gong self-shou for me to get together with the Terminal mysterious man? Terminal mysterious man = me?”

Everyone: “…”

It didn’t seem to be self-gong self-shou.

Everybody looked around. “Then who the hell is it…”

The Terminal mysterious man was important.

But refuting the rumour was more important.

Li Shuoxing banged on the keyboard hard. “It’s Su Mingqian, my wife Su Mingqian! He’s a hundred times more beautiful than all of the above, thank you!”

Silence fell again in the lively group.

It was a long silence.

Deer Over Fragrant Grass said, faintly shocked, “In that case, Eunuch, you’re with your son under your pen, so is it father and son incest…”

The people in the group were all dead silent.

Li Shuoxing’s typing hand paused.

He originally wanted to refute this statement, but, on second thought…

Li Shuoxing couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the bed.

Su Mingqian was sleeping soundly on it.

Li Shuoxing scooted over a little, and then a little more. He scooted up to Su Mingqian’s side, and tentatively called out, “Cub?”

As if the sleeping Su Mingqian heard him, he gave a dazed “mm” and murmured, “Ximu…”

His shallow breath sprayed on Li Shuoxing’s face, like a feather floating down from the sky and covering his cheek.

Li Shuoxing straightened and fell into deep thought.

He realised that although there was a lot of nonsense in the group, they didn’t seem entirely wrong on this point.

Mingqian is indeed my cub, and calls out in bed. Isn’t that good?

Li Shuoxing typed again, “@Deer Over Fragrant Grass, that’s not wrong either…”

At that point, there was no more noise in the group.

Even Deer Over Fragrant Grass’s raised hands could no longer be put down.

Then.

Calm Egg: “It’s over. Eunuch has really gone mad. He’s become so infatuated to the point of buying a five million diamond ring and putting it on his own hand, disguising his left hand and right hand as a wedding photo. Oh my god, a man’s home is really his own right hand…”

Interfinger Storm: “Who, whoever’s in Shanghai, hurry and bring Eunuch to the hospital!”

Soren: “ A man announces his marriage to Hatsune Miku ¹ Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid software voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media and its official moe anthropomorph, a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails. , A man is deeply infatuated with Barbie and even holds a wedding with her .”

Ten Zero Mausoleum said with a sigh, “Give it up. The hospital can’t save him. Compared to being infatuated with a novel character, it’s no big news to be with a man.” He then discussed, “How about we sacrifice Ah -So to you so you stop being crazy, Eunuch?”

Calm Egg: “Good idea. I’ll pick up Soren and do a 100m sprint to your house!”

Soren collapsed. “You! You animals! Shut the hell up! How can I stay in this group? I’ll be out of the group for more than an hour this time. No one come looking for me!”

[Soren has left the group]

However, no one went looking for Soren.

Deer Over Fragrant Grass sent a lament from the depths of her soul: “The screenshots from the group will be another hot search if they’re burst out.”

Li Shuoxing couldn’t take it anymore either. He gave these guys a harsh word: “Fuck!”

After sending this, he closed QQ and went to bed to rest with Su Mingqian. He didn’t get many chances to sleep with the cub, so he had to cherish them!

The slumbering time was a fairy that slipped through one’s fingers, disappearing with a flap of its wings.

By the time they both woke up, the sky was dotted with stars and the medical staff who had been in the house had quietly left at some point. Li Shuoxing pushed Su Mingqian downstairs and saw that dinner was ready in the kitchen.

He brought over his own dinner, a standard set of Western food, and Su Mingqian’s, a plate of paste that he couldn’t tell what it consisted of.

Li Shuoxing hesitated. “This is…”

Su Mingqian explained, “My nutritious meal. I’ve been allowed to eat some digestible food recently, but I can’t eat too much. I still need liquid food to nourish my stomach.”

Li Shuoxing: “Actually, I can eat the same thing as you.”

Su Mingqian smiled. “Why should you do that? You don’t need to eat this. You should try the steak. It’s from one of my favourite shops. This time you’re coming over and I’ve specially invited the chef to come and cook it at home.”

Li Shuoxing thought about it and sat down.

But, instead of sitting opposite Su Mingqian, he sat down next to him and explained, “We’re closer this way.”

Su Mingqian didn’t think much of it. He spooned up a spoonful of paste and was just about to put it in his mouth when a head poked over from beside him and swallowed the paste on his spoon.

Li Shuoxing tasted the food in his mouth and found unexpectedly: “It actually doesn’t taste that bad.”

Su Mingqian couldn’t help but laugh, and he shook his spoon. “Do you think I’m having a hard time?”

“I’m worried that you don’t have enough to eat or wear, and can’t sleep or get up…” Li Shuoxing said honestly.

“I’m having a good time. My rehabilitation is going smoothly, and you’re here…” Su Mingqian continued after a gentle pause, his voice soft and lingering, “so it’s even better.”

Here was their love, quietly growing.

Li Shuoxing felt that he should do something. He stood up, found the camellia he had proposed with in the day, placed it in a bottle, and put it in the centre of the table. Then, he rummaged through the cupboard to find a candlestick in the villa, lit it up, and set it on the table.

There were flowers, wine, lights, and the most important person.

It was the most romantic candlelit dinner.

Li Shuoxing looked around and his eyes rested on the small glass of red wine on the table.

He asked Su Mingqian, “Cub, can you have a little wine? Just a little sip, the kind where you just dip your lips.”

Su Mingqian: “Of course.”

That was good.

Li Shuoxing lifted the glass and took a light sip. Then, he held up Su Mingqian’s chin and, under the gaze of his grey eyes, approached bit by bit until he covered his lips and then passed over the wine in his mouth.

The red liquid smeared lightly on their lips.

Both of them were drunk with just one kiss.

They took a little too long eating this meal. Unconsciously, all the food on the table was finished.

After they finished eating, they were both a bit stuffed. Li Shuoxing placed Su Mingqian in his wheelchair and pushed him around for a walk. When they returned home, they then played two games of chess together, and the time was nearing ten o’clock.

Li Shuoxing asked, “Cub, what time do you go to bed at night?”

Su Mingqian: “It’s about time now… Ximu, I want to take a bath before I go to bed.”

Li Shuoxing: “Huh? Okay.”

He didn’t know why Su Mingqian had deliberately brought this up.

Su Mingqian: “The doctor said that I shouldn’t use my strength too much now. It’s best to have someone help me with danger-prone things like taking a bath, for safety’s sake.”

Li Shuoxing suddenly got nervous. “So…”

Su Mingqian: “So Ximu, can you help me take a bath?”

The words hit Li Shuoxing’s heart and circled in his mind like a broadcast.

The little person’s mouth inside Li Shuoxing’s head had opened up into an “O”.

But he was steady on the outside.

He seriously replied to Su Mingqian, “Sure, no problem. You’re so weak now and I don’t feel at ease letting you take a bath alone. Then, I’ll go into the bathroom and put the water in for you, then push you in when it’s ready.”

Su Mingqian nodded obediently.

So, Li Shuoxing steadily entered the bathroom, closed the door, and turned on the taps. The moment the sound of the water could drown out other sounds, he rushed to the mirror—

“Li Shuoxing.”

Li Shuoxing looked at himself in the mirror, very handsome, very upright.

“The time has come to test you!

“The time that will follow is an extremely difficult challenge, but you must be human. You have no choice, do you understand?

“You must first be a human before you can be a beast!…”

“Ximu.”

Another sound came from nearby.

Li Shuoxing was startled. He turned his head in a panic and saw Su Mingqian, who had appeared at the bathroom door.

Su Mingqian pushed his wheelchair and slowly drove up.

“Ximu, is the water ready? I can see there’s steam coming out…”

He said and, as if feeling hot, tugged at the collar of his shirt, letting the topmost button break free from its buttonhole and revealing a small patch of pale skin.

By the time the wheelchair came to Li Shuoxing, this small patch of pale skin was tinged with a little scarlet, like a peach blossom blooming on his skin.

Li Shuoxing stared at that spot, his mouth going dry and his heart shaking.

The author has something to say:

The steering wheel in the cub’s hands is very steady √
