Chapter 22: Phoenix’s Blood [11]

Translator: Xah

Zhang Qiu was frightened at first by his own brain hole. His whole person followed behind Li Shu, shaking and trembling. The wooden stairs creaked and they soon arrived at the door. He stared at Li Shu’s back and couldn’t restrain his brain hole. “Li Shu!” His voice was hoarse, and Li Shu stopped walking in front of him. There was a strange atmosphere hanging over his head. Zhang Qiu swallowed a spit, “Are you really Li Shu?”

Zhang Qiu didn’t know if it’s his illusion, but he felt that Li Shu’s back shook when he had finished asking. Fuck, isn’t this really confirmed by his own brain hole?

Li Shu suddenly turned around and stared at him with a flat face. Zhang Qiu, inexplicably afraid, his shoulders shook. The other person walked step by step and crunched on the wooden aisle. With every sound made, Zhang Qiu felt his heart was beating faster.

“You, you, you –”

Zhang Qiu stuttered, paled with fear. Li Shu’s head in front of him leaned slowly over his neck. He (ZQ) shivered in the cold air and got goose-bumps around his neck.

“I am not Li Shu.”

!!!!!

Fuck fuck fuck!

Zhang Qiu held his breath in terror, Pixian Hui Wang was next door. Was it too late for him to shout and rush in?

“If I am not Li Shu, who do you think I am? Hm?”

The voice of the other person was low, and a stream of air leap into his ear. Zhang Qiu’s blood froze, by the other’s alluring voice he seemed to be standing all over with a wooden stake. The man in his ear continued, “Do you want me to help you shoot tonight again?”

As if thinking of something, the other person’s hand slapped his buttocks, and the scared Zhang Qiu’s conditioned reflex was clamping his buttocks.

“It’s doesn’t feel bad, Xiao Qiu.” There was suppressed laughter in the voice.

Zhang Qiu instantly reacted, Li Shu this asshole deliberately played him for amusement, just that shaking back was estimated to be the other person was laughing at his cowardice!!!

I want to blow up!

Zhang Qiu looked up fiercely, intending to go back to the front of the hard flagstaff, but he couldn’t say anything when he looked deep into Li Shu’s eyes. After a moment, Zhang Qiu turned from a heroic Zhang Qiu into a delicate, pretty and timid Zhang Qiu.

Pathetic!

Li Shu raised his eyebrows, straightened his waist, looked down at Zhang Qiu and said, “If you are afraid, I can sleep with you tonight.”

“Who is afraid!?” Even if he was afraid, he must not admit it at this time. Zhang Qiu kept a straight face, snorted and retorted, “I just stopped you to tell you that you can wake me up if you are afraid at night.” He said calmly from Li Shu’s side while passing by. To himself, he just put on X to the score of nine points, one point supposedly for his cockiness, awu-awu-awu, he was really awesome, not timid!

Li Shu, upon seeing the slightly faster back figure of Zhang Qiu, the corners of his lips bent down; really interesting.

Early morning in the village, usually there were no amateur activities in the evening, especially in the pair of grandpa and grandson’s house; his son died, and as soon as he had finished eating, he locked the door and slept. Developing an atmosphere of early sleep, Zhang Qiu, who had spent a whole day and night in the tomb should be very tired, he was originally frightened by his own brain hole, but now, after Li Shu’s jesting, he snored after he touched the pillow.

Li Shu came in and saw that Zhang Qiu’s shoes had not been taken off. Probably because it was hot, the T-shirt was pulled up, showing a soft white belly. The belly was a little rounded, Li Shu saw this and his eyes turned soft, very soft. He walked a few steps, and his hands unconsciously touched Zhang Qiu’s belly, feeling comfortable, Li Shu could not bear to take away his hand.

Zhang Qiu on the bed frowned slightly, as if in a dream, his mouth moved, but no sound came out.

“Don’t be mischievous; let him have a good rest.” Li Shu’s voice was low, under his palm, something seemed to respond to him, Zhang Qiu’s soft stomach suddenly moved. Li Shu touched it. His voice was cold, “You’ll come out when you’re ready to come out. Don’t be impatient or it will hurt him…”

The white belly was like being mischievous moved two times, and finally slowly returned to calm.

Zhang Qiu was dreaming. The dark fog in his dream crisply called him Ma, and a giggling laughter surrounded him. Zhang Qiu’s legs almost turned soft. But the black fog didn’t do anything to him; it just called him Ma one after another.

Did you think he was like a motherly person?!

Calling him Daddy(baba) was more or less the same.

That round thing seemed to be able to guess what he thought, laughing happily and calling him Baba.

Zhang Qiu thought: I’d call you Baba, you stay away from me. The other seemed to have been wronged. There was no substance in the soft round black mist. One moment it was around his hand, one moment it was around his stomach. It was crying. The crying made Zhang Qiu upset. He thought he was absolutely evil and he felt sorry for the black ball. But this thing was frightening him, even called him Baba, he could not bear it.

In a dilemma, the black mist rolled into a ball and dawdled on his face; it was cold, softly called Baba and disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Zhang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his dream was very strange, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes. Muttering, his brows slowly unfolded, he rolled over and continued to sleep, and soon began to snore.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Qiu was awakened by the urge to piss. He opened his eyes; the room was dark, and the skill of seeing things in the dark seemed to have disappear. Through the moonlight outside the window, he saw Li Shu’s back on the narrow bed on the opposite, dark.

He could not hold his bladder. He switched on a small lamp at the head of the bed and got out of bed with his legs clamped. As soon as he reached the door, the cool wind in the crack of the door blew and the shadows of the trees outside the window swayed. Zhang Qiu’s heart began to beat a drum again. He thought he was not a coward. He was afraid of going to the tomb but he bit his teeth like that. But what he could not bear was that his brain was too big and loved to frighten him, this was the most frightening thing.

It was better not to think, the more he thought about it the more frightened he would be.

Having lingered for a long time without going to the door, he turned around and walked a few steps to Li Shu’s bed, trying to figure out how to speak without losing his dignity and not seemed so timid and nervous.

He saw Li Shu suddenly turned over in bed, and his whole person jumped down. Li Shu sat up and smiled at Zhang Qiu’s startled look. He felt like a startled rabbit pretended to be a tiger with a serious face.

But whether it’s a little rabbit or a tiger, he was fun and cute.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhang Qiu held his bladder and asked, “do you want to go to the bathroom? I just woke up and I can go with you. ”

Li Shu looked at Zhang Qiu like this; he looked as if he knew everything.

Zhang Qiu thought Li Shu wanted to tease him again, who cares what three time seven is twenty-one (2), he rushed out straight. Who was not a man?

“En.” Li Shu stood up lazily, wore slippers, glanced out of the window, and said faintly, “It’s so dark, and the shadows of trees are like ghosts. I’m scared. Thank you for accompanying me.”

Zhang Qiu:…

He totally felt that Li Shu meant he was too cowardly and did not point out his surname.(3)

But finally he could go to the bathroom.

Zhang Qiu walked ahead. Li Shu had a flashlight behind him. The lights in the aisle were broken. The toilet was in the backyard on the first floor, and there were lights in the room next to the stairs. This was the room of his second brother, Zhang YuShui, which was lived in by Pixian Hui Wang.

Zhang Qiu looked at Pixian Hui Wang as he stared at the golden bead in his palm. His eyes were red as if he had been crying. He looked at the window as if he had noticed them. His eyes were as sharp as knives. Then he took the bead in his palm and turned out the light.

The room was plunged into darkness.

Zhang Qiu sighed silently. His mood was heavy and his footsteps were heavy. He went downstairs, drained water and washed his hands, without saying a word. Li Shu walked behind; saw Zhang Qiu like this, without cause said: “there is no way out.”

“?”

Zhang Qiu was still thinking about Zhang YuShui, thinking about asking Pixian Hui Wang to go back to Big Uncle with the bead. Big Uncle was that sharp as knives, there must be a way. Suddenly he heard Li Shu said something, but he didn’t hear it clearly.

Li Shu also did not care about Zhang Qiu running away, he patiently said: “The people behind the scene know more than we know. To find specific ways (to solve problems), always look for the crux.”

“What you said is right.” Zhang Qiu was in a better mood when he heard that he had a way out, and then frowned again. “But we have no clue. Jin LaoDa is dead–”

Li Shu smiled, his features originally was good-looking, and he was usually charming with sarcasm, not to mention the relaxed smile, Zhang Qiu knew this was not good, but he was fascinated.

“Pixian Hui Wang has a map in hand.” Li Shu said, seeing Zhang Qiu was still staring at his face. He used to particularly dislike other people looking at his face, showing such a silly smile. Now, he even thought that this face was very good, so he deliberately curved the corner of his lips, asked: “good-looking?”

“Good-looking.” Zhang Qiu said matter-of-factly.

Li Shu reached out and squeezed Zhang Qiu’s face, soft and smooth, “wiped your saliva.”

!!!!

Zhang Qiu was embarrassed. How could he be a love-struck fool on serious matters? It was too shameless. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe it, but there was no suspicious trace of water.

Looking at Li Shu with a smile on his face, he knew he was being played by Li Shu again.

“Speak well, don’t change the topic!” Zhang Qiu was fighting fiercely.

Li Shu was in a good mood. Seeing that Zhang Qiu had blown his hair and stopped teasing him, deadpan nodded and continued, “I believe Pixian Hui Wang is happy to take out the map.”

Zhang Qiu nodded at the thought of Pixian Hui Wang’s red eye.

They returned to the room, Li Shu leaning against the bed, straight legs on the bed side, the usually bundled up long hair had been down, slanting down on the face, by the bed’s light illumination made him felt dizzy, there was a kind of bewitched beauty.

Not effeminate, just especially beautiful.

Zhang Qiu looked within an inch from slobbering. Li Shu was apparently pleased with Zhang Qiu’s love-struck fool expression. He patted the bedside and whispered, “Come and sleep.” Zhang Qiu followed; the fan moment seemed to have passed. –On the morning of the second day, he woke up and found himself tightly clung to Li Shu.

The bed was very narrow, not even 1.5m, and the two big men could only sleep closely.

His head was on Li Shu’s chest, and he didn’t want to know how he slept on Li Shu’s bed for a long time.

Li Shu’s body temperature was very low. He moved down, and suddenly there was a strong thing sticking on his thigh.

Zhang Qiu took a sudden breath. A man knew what it was. He was too stiff to move any more. He heard Li Shu on top of his head said.

“Don’t blame me if you keep moving.”
