The Curse of Desire

Bai Qiuyi dried his hair, put the hair dryer in the cabinet under the desk, then straightened up, picked up the Sprite that Jiang Shu had placed on the table, opened it and took a sip, “Thank you, brother.”

He didn’t know if it was because he ate too salty in the evening, but now he feel very thirsty. When Jiang Shu asked him if he wanted a drink, he casually said that he wanted a Sprite.

“No need to thank me,” Jiang Shu, who was sitting at the desk, casually dismissed Bai Qiuyi’s pleasantries. Suddenly, he looked away from the phone screen in his hand and turned to Bai Qiuyi. “Younger brother, have you forgotten something?”

Bai Qiuyi was raising his neck to drink the Sprite, and stopped when he heard this, “What did I forget?”

He thought for a while, but he couldn’t remember.

Jiang Shu tore his gaze away and took a large sip of Coke.

The boy’s fair neck stretched taut, and the way his Adam’s apple rolled when he swallowed, this all lingered in Jiang Shu’s mind.

Weird.

How could he think his younger brother looked a bit coquettish.

He took the sparkling Coke away from his mouth and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

He glanced at Bai Qiuyi again, “You really can’t remember?”

Bai Qiuyi also looked at him, thinking hard for a long time, “How about you give me a hint?”

“You didn’t rub my back.” Jiang Shu said directly.

Fuck.

He actually forgot about it.

Bai Qiuyi pushed back the hair that was blocking his eyes, “Can I rub it tomorrow?”

“You only had one chance.” Jiang Shu threw the empty can into the trash bin. “Be good and accept my red envelope.”

“No,” Jiang Shu spoke to him in a coaxing voice, but Bai Qiuyi just didn’t want to be obedient.

He suspected that it was because the original owner had been suppressed for too long by Bai Junyan, which caused him to have a bit of a rebellious nature now.

“I won’t accept it. Brother, what can you do to me?”

These words were full of provocation.

Jiang Shu was stunned, probably because he didn’t expect Bai Qiuyi to talk to him like this.

He slowly turned his attention to Bai Qiuyi. The young man was reclining on the bed with one hand and holding a can of Sprite on his knees with the other hand. He raised his chin slightly and stared at him with a bright dark eyes.

Jiang Shu licked his lips, feeling Bai Qiuyi was a little cute like this.

He stood up, walked to Bai Qiuyi, and pressed his shoulders with both hands, leaning close, “You really won’t accept it?”

It was the first time that their faces were so close, and Bai Qiuyi could even feel the slightly sweet breath Jiang Shu exhaled when he spoke. It was slightly hot, and with a light smell of alcohol.

His heartbeat accelerated, and his eyes met the boy in front of him, “I won’t take it.”

Jiang Shu stared at him with hot eyes, “Believe it or not… I’ll kiss you.”

Crazy.

He must have been under the influence of alcohol.

How else could he say such a thing?

Bai Qiuyi didn’t know Jiang Shu’s inner thoughts, and upon hearing this, there seemed to be countless buds blooming in his heart.

He licked his lips, “I don’t believe it.”

Jiang Shu leaned down, pretending to be about to kiss him. In fact, he actually really wanted to kiss Bai Qiuyi.

Did he… develop a younger brother complex?

“Holy cow, what are you guys doing?” Cheng Feifei, who came in uninvited, stared foolishly at the two people who seemed to be kissing.

Jiang Shu just blinked at the attractive boy in front of him, a hint of regret in his heart.

He straightened up calmly and turned to face Cheng Feifei, “It’s just what you saw.”

“You, you…” Cheng Feifei stuttered, “You’re lying, right?!”

Bai Qiuyi sat up straight and looked at Cheng Feifei. There was a look of disbelief on Cheng Feifei’s face. In fact, he was also quite dissatisfied with this uninvited guest, but Cheng Feifei looked like he was really frightened and Bai Qiuyi couldn’t bear it.

“Big brother is joking with you. He was just looking at my eyes because an eyelash got stuck inside.”

Cheng Feifei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The posture the two of them just now was truly terrifying.

He got closer with the phone in his hand, as if nothing had happened, “Come on, little brother Yi, let’s add each other on WeChat.”

When Bai Qiuyi added Cheng Feifei’s WeChat, he was still thinking about Jiang Shu.

When he concluded that the other party’s sexual orientation was heterosexual, the other party teased him and made him doubt.

His thoughts that had been extinguished suddenly resurrected.

Jiang Shu was also thinking about the same thing, what happened to him?

Was he really controlled by alcohol? Don’t think so. It’s not like he has never drank before, and there’s never been a time where he had evil thoughts about a boy or girl.

So did he really have a younger brother complex?

Probably not.

There were quite a few people who called him big brother. Before today, he has never treated anyone else like this. Just Bai Qiuyi.

Jiang Shu bit his lip, unable to figure it out.

“Little brother Yi, from today on, you are my little bro.” Cheng Feifei hung his arm around Bai Qiuyi’s shoulder and changed his nickname on Bai Qiuyi’s phone.

“Feifei,” Bai Qiuyi suddenly looked at him in the eye, “You don’t want to coax me to call you gege, do you?”

“What do you mean by coaxing,” Cheng Feifei replied quickly, “I’m older than you, shouldn’t you call me big brother?”

Bai Qiuyi reported his date of birth.

Cheng Feifei paused for a moment, “… Brother is two months older than you.”

Bai Qiuyi smiled, “I don’t believe it. If it were true, you wouldn’t have been silent just now.”

Cheng Feifei was about to reply when someone dragged him over. Now he wasn’t all over Bai Qiuyi.

“Get out, I’m going to sleep.” Jiang Shu continued to pull him.

“Going to bed so early?” Cheng Feifei stood up, “Isn’t it the military training the day after tomorrow? You can still sleep well tomorrow.”

“When have you seen me sleep in?” Jiang Shu patted him on the back, “Go, go. Your little bro will get up early tomorrow. We promised to go run together. If you want, you can run with us.”

“No, no,” Cheng Feifei walked directly outside, “Good night, guys.”

He walked to the door. He even closed the door thoughtfully.

Bai Qiuyi drank the Sprite quickly and threw the empty can into the trash bin, “Is Feifei really older than me?”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Jiang Shu lay on the bed, resting his head on his hands, “He is younger than you. By two months.”

“Are you going to just lie down like this?” Bai Qiuyi wondered, “You just drank Coke, why don’t you rinse your mouth?”

The two of them had already brushed their teeth just now, and Bai Qiuyi didn’t plan to brush it again. But gargling was necessary.

Jiang Shu didn’t want to go, after all, he had brushed his teeth just now. But under the young man’s surprised gaze, he silently sat up from the bed.

The lights in the room were turned off, and the world in front of him fell into darkness.

Since the air conditioner was on, Bai Qiuyi took out a quilt and put it on his legs.

He was a little sleepy. In fact, at this point, it was already beyond the original owner’s schedule.

When Bai Junyan called him, he said he was going to sleep, but in fact, at that time he hadn’t even taken a shower.

Bai Qiuyi yawned and thought about Jiang Shu’s sexual orientation. Nevermind. He’ll just continue thinking about it tomorrow, right now he was too sleepy.

“Little brother,” Jiang Shu suddenly started searching his bed, “Where is your cell phone?”

Bai Qiuyi suddenly became alert. He opened his tired eyes and looked at the dark figure that was now sitting on his bed, “Brother, you aren’t going to do what I’m thinking, right? It’s not necessary!”

He was so persistent, was it just to give him money?

“Why is it not necessary?” Jiang Shu questioned, “I really can’t break the Jiang family’s rules.”

Bai Qiuyi put a hand on the back of his head and said lazily, “I won’t accept it, just kiss me.”

Let’s see if he dared to do what he said!
