Chapter 3

He heard Su Zhanyu enter the bathroom and slam the door shut. After a long while, he still had not come out. There was definitely enough time to relieve himself several times, which meant he was indeed inside taking care of business

"Listen," Su Zhanyu opened his eyes and smiled as he pointed to the window

"It's really intense." Su Zhanyu smiled nonchalantly and turned off the light

"Ice skating?" Zuo Hang was taken aback; what kind of upbringing is this? "What major are you studying?"

I will take a look," Zuo Hang reached out and tugged at Su Zhanyu's underwear, pulling it and then letting go, causing the underwear to snap back with a sound. "You really had a wild time last night.

When the alarm on Zuo Hang's phone rang in the morning, he jumped up as usual. He set the time very tightly; as soon as it rang, he had to get up, otherwise he would be late

"No, my ex-boyfriend is too much to bear," Zuo Hang controlled the tumult of emotions surging within him, feeling an impulse to smash this yogurt shop along with the couple. He nodded at the man and said, "He is my ex."

Zuo Hang quickly made a judgment about this man in his mind, the kind that many young girls filled with painful fantasies about romance prefer the most

"It must be, if I don't get special admission, how can I possibly pass the exam?" Su Zhanyu rested his head on his arm, turned his head to smile at him, "Brother, have you been wondering about my situation at the Normal University all along?"

"In fact, I don't want to go to university. I don't have a mind like yours; going to university is just a waste of time and money," Su Zhanyu did not mind Zuo Hang's words and smiled, "But my grandmother has always said that since your brother went to university, you can go to university too. I am just content with that..."

Do you offer tutoring? What subjects do you teach? Zuo Hang recalled that a colleague's son is in the third year of junior high school and is looking for someone to help with English. If Su Zhanyu is available to teach, it would be fine to introduce him to the colleague.

After finishing the delicious instant noodles, Zuo Hang squatted on the chair in the room and began to play games

But when did he step on Su Zhanyu's stomach? ... And he steps on it every time, what kind of skill does it take to be so precise every time?

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Dong Huan suddenly smiled, raised her head, and glanced at the door, her gaze meeting his directly.

When Su Zhanyu pulled the curtain open suddenly, Zuo Hang did not understand what he intended to do. It was only when he pushed the window open and poked his head out that he realized, and he quickly sat up: "Don't shout..."

Zuo Hang was helplessly pulled into the yogurt shop, and when he looked up, he saw Dong Huan sitting by the door.

I have nothing to bring, so don't spend money recklessly. " Zuo Hang closed his eyes and finally began to feel a bit drowsy

"Go away, what are you calling for all night? You've been nagging me to the point of a headache." Zuo Hang closed the computer, stood up, and stretched. It was almost midnight, and if he didn't sleep soon, it would be another tragedy when he had to get up in the morning.

"It's nothing, I have a tutor with me." Su Zhanyu turned over to face him

What is unacceptable, however, is that sitting across from my girlfriend is a man who is holding her hand, and the sweet smile on her face unmistakably indicates that she is very happy at this moment

"Yes, you are quite unreliable; I am very surprised that you could get into university"

At the insistence of his mother to be attentive to Su Zhanyu, Zuo Hang swung his mouse like a sword, attacking a person named "Those Who Want to Kill Me Are All Idiots," while also straining to listen closely to the conversation of Su Zhanyu.

Zuo Hang found this remark extremely curious; it seemed that the person who had been dragging out the phone conversation with Su Zhanyu for such a long time was actually a man

Upon arriving at the company, he found that the only thing that made him feel refreshed was that the boss was not present today, and Sister Hu was in a very good mood, distributing a bag of flaky pastries to each desk.

After the room fell dark, neither of the two spoke again. However, for some reason, in such an atmosphere, the woman's moans from upstairs became remarkably clear, and judging by the sound, it seemed that they had no intention of finishing anytime soon

Just as Su Zhanyu was speaking, Zuo Hang heard the sound of chair legs scraping against the floor from above, and the woman's voice outside suddenly grew louder

After a while, Su Zhanyu returned to the bedroom with his bare shoulders and collapsed onto the bed: "Refreshing!"

However, it was not entirely without gain. Su Zhanyu had been on the phone for over two hours, until Zuo Hang, after killing a few opponents in the game and being overwhelmed by the reinforcements called in by the other side, had no choice but to log off. At that moment, Su Zhanyu finally uttered a clearly audible remark: "You old man, your phone actually ran out of battery from talking so much. Drink some throat-soothing tea and get some sleep. Stop acting like a nagging woman, it's so annoying."

"That has nothing to do with ice skating," Zuo Hang actually wanted to say, what a ridiculous major this is, but Su Zhanyu is his own cousin, so he held back those words, "Are you really that amazing at skating?"

"What the hell, whose house is playing videos so loudly?" Zuo Hang felt a bit of a prickling sensation on his scalp; it was the middle of the night, and the noise was just too jarring.

Zuo Hang is somewhat speechless, worried that the person above might be rendered impotent by this shout: "Be a bit more reserved, what if you scare someone into having a problem"

Physical Education

Unfortunately, Su Zhanyu seemed to be afraid of disturbing him, keeping his voice very low. Apart from being able to discern his impatient tone, no additional content could be heard.

Zuo Hang remained silent, as he truly did not know how to continue the conversation

However, after he jumped up today, he felt a bit different from usual. Before he could figure it out, he heard a voice holding its breath: "Stop pondering, just go down..."

"Ah, Zuo Baobei, this is yours," Hu Jie called out as Zuo Hang entered, "It was almost taken by Da Zhuang."

"Brother, do you still sleep against the wall?" Su Zhanyu asked him while fluffing his pillow.

Still ?

Zuo Hang tossed and turned for a while, unable to fall asleep. He sighed and quietly said to Su Zhanyu, "You really have great self-control"

When we were children, you always had to sleep on the inside of the bed, didn't you?" Su Zhanyu said, holding a pillow and looking at him, "Every time you got out of bed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you would step on my stomach.

This bizarre feeling, akin to voyeurism, made one feel incredibly frustrated. Before long, Zuo Hang found himself in an unbearable state of arousal, strongly wishing that Dong Huan was lying beside him

Su Zhanyu turned over, facing away from Zuo Hang, and said nothing further

The moans of a woman, the source of which is unknown, drifted melodiously through the night, overpowering the hum of the air conditioner, clearly audible.

Zuo Hang wanted to say, "You are such an idiot, and yet you can chat with someone for two hours; you are not much better yourself," but he thought better of it and remained silent. He needed to maintain the image of a quality young man in order to manage Su Zhanyu in accordance with the requests of his mother and aunt in the future

Zuo Hang truly cannot comprehend Su Zhanyu's mental structure; he recalls that this kid was not like this when they were young, his skin was not this thick.

This is his greatest pleasure outside of sleeping and going to the gym, and the main content is rather sordid, involving him and Zhuang Peng finding a dark corner to hide and ambush. Every day, as soon as their accounts go online, they are bombarded with greetings, and they take delight in it.

"You still say you haven't stepped on me?" Su Zhanyu rubbed his stomach, looking helpless, "Even my morning erection has been trampled by you."

"Sleep, sleep, turn off the lights." Zuo Hang lay down. The girl living upstairs was in her twenties; he had seen her twice and she appeared quite quiet. Yet, she could create such a commotion, comparable to that of a famous adult film star, making one feel hot all over.

Su Zhanyu laughed and, after a moment, said: "Ice skating"

Zuo Hang took a bite of the pastry and smiled: "Sister, be a little more low-key."

a damn artistic middle-aged man

Hmm. Zuo Hang felt as if he were about to suffocate; even if he watched the prime-time drama a hundred times, he could not accept that such a scene of betrayal had suddenly occurred in his own life

The boss did not appear in the office until just before the end of the workday. Zuo Hang estimated that he would not come in today, which meant there would be no need to work overtime. He quickly sent the clients away and, together with Zhuang Peng, rushed out of the company just as the workday was ending

"Zuo Hang, what a coincidence," Dong Huan said, after a few seconds of being stunned, she returned to her normal state, greeted him, and then hesitated before quietly introducing him to the artistic man, "My ex-boyfriend"

Zuo Hang inexplicably leaned closer to the window. It was already very quiet outside, as most residents had gone to rest. However, after listening for a few seconds, he was taken aback.

"An idiot." Su Zhanyu jumped onto the bed and started fiddling with the pillows without looking back

"Do you have any semblance of being a younger brother? Since last night until now, you have been acting so unseriously. If you continue to behave like this, I will show you what it means to be an older brother," Zuo Hang said with satisfaction as he turned and left the bedroom. "By the way, I am going to the gym with my colleagues today. You can eat by yourself tonight. I left my keys on the table, you can take them."

After a while, Zuo Hang suddenly remembered to ask, "Are you on the ice hockey team? Does the Normal University have an ice hockey team now?"

Zuo Hang truly admires him; after that outburst of shouting and talking, he felt his own energy diminish by half. With such a distraction, it would soon fade away, yet Su Zhanyu surprisingly continued without any concern for the hassle

"Let him come to me; at worst, I will handle that matter for him." Su Zhanyu chuckled and jumped down from the ground

"What?" Zhuang Peng was also taken aback, somewhat unable to believe his eyes, "Is it Dong Huan?"

"Where are you going?" Zuo Hang looked at him

Su Zhanyu was watching television in the living room, initially getting caught up in a never-ending Korean drama filled with crying and shouting, and then began making phone calls accompanied by the same background noise of weeping and wailing.

He stood frozen in place, his hands and feet feeling somewhat cold, and this chill rapidly coursed through his blood to spread throughout his body

In fact, the meaning of "Zuo Hang" is to directly rush to the gym and sweat profusely for an hour to finish. However, Zhuang Peng insisted on having a drink at the yogurt shop next to the gym first.

When returning to the room, Su Zhanyu had already gone to bed, leaving a space against the wall. At this moment, he had his eyes closed, seemingly amused by something, with a smile playing on his lips.

"It's effective, you see, it immediately quieted down." Su Zhanyu nonchalantly sat back on the bed, and indeed, there was no sound outside the window, and the floor no longer creaked.

Zhuang Peng cursed softly at the beginning.

"I am going to take care of some matters," Su Zhanyu replied, as he emerged from the bedroom with a tent on his head.

"Why doesn't Sister Hu call me baby?" Zhuang Peng mumbled resentfully, with half a piece of flaky pastry in his mouth.

"Well, the sports institute has a hockey team," Su Zhanyu said, shaking his leg. "Do you want to learn? I can take you; you'll definitely pass the ice class."

Su Zhanyu remained silent, and after a while, he chuckled and sat up, saying: "This is not acceptable; the way things are handled upstairs is quite improper."

Zuo Hang looked at the bed in a daze and discovered that one of his legs was resting on Su Zhanyu's stomach. He quickly retracted his leg and got off the bed: "I’m used to it, I forgot you were next to me"

Su Zhanyu shouted something in the room, but he did not have time to listen. He had many tasks today, including final debugging of several programs, meetings with two clients, and after work, he planned to go to the gym to strive for his fitness goals

"Hey guys upstairs, the night is long and endless," Su Zhanyu did not give Zuo Hang a chance to stop him, and shouted towards the outside, "That's enough, leave us single folks a way to live! Aren't you afraid of wearing your skin off..."

Unfortunately, reality is quite unyielding; lying beside him is a grown man, and he seems to be breathing steadily, not much disturbed. In contrast, he feels somewhat embarrassed even to go to the restroom for a moment of relief.

"Whatever, it's all fine." Zuo Hang walked out of the bedroom to take a shower, is there still this matter?

"It's not just watching a movie," Su Zhanyu continued to smile, glancing at the ceiling, "it's a live version"

When he reached the latter part of his sentence, Su Zhanyu's voice trembled slightly, carrying a nasal tone. He was raised by the old lady, with whom he shared a deep bond. Zuo Hang patted him and said, "Recite well, go to sleep."

Whenever the two of them were chased by a group of people from behind, forcing them to frantically escape while using speed-enhancing potions, Zuo Hang felt that whenever he was with Zhuang Peng, his intelligence would plummet to the level of a complete fool, and there was no way to stop it

I simply do not wish to touch that thing. " Zuo Hang waved his hand. There is a river next to his grandmother's house, which freezes solid in winter. A group of children love to skate on it. He tried to slide over it on a board a couple of times, but fell quite hard. He distinctly remembers Dog Dan laughing incessantly behind him, shouting, "Blockhead!"

For a normal man who hasn't seen his girlfriend for more than half a month and hasn't released himself, this sound is simply an irresistible temptation to Zuo Hang's ears. If it were just the sound from a film, it would be one thing, but the occasional collision sounds from the floor constantly emphasize that this is live, this is a damn live reality show

As Zuo Hang glanced down at Su Zhanyu under the moonlight that streamed in, he instantly regained his composure; this kid was also sporting a tent, and it wasn't just him who was lost in thought.

"Brother, I am going shopping tomorrow. Is there anything you would like me to bring?" Su Zhanyu asked aimlessly in the dark

Zuo Hang paid no attention to this statement; he did not even know what an ice class was. However, there was one thing he did know: "You must be a special recruit for sports, right?"

Su Zhanyu stood by, chuckling quietly, without saying a word

"Damn," upon hearing this, Zuo Hang felt embarrassed for Su Zhanyu and reached out to close the window, "Your face is truly big!"

Unexpectedly encountering my girlfriend, whom I had not been in contact with for half a month, should have been a joyful occasion

The man sitting opposite her noticed something and turned his head to take a glance.

"Brother, still playing? Not going to sleep?" Su Zhanyu, having just finished his shower, walked into the bedroom with his bare shoulders exposed. He glanced at Zuo Hang's screen and said, "Have you been staring at the desktop all night?"

"Just make do with it. It's the child of a teacher from our school, and they came to our ice hockey team looking for someone to teach them. I happened to be free, so they handed them over to me," Su Zhanyu chuckled, nudging Zuo Hang with his arm. "Bro, do you want to learn? I can teach you casually. I remember when we were at grandma's house, you would fall every time you skated."

"Come on, just because I call you 'baby' doesn't mean you are one, right? Or are you pretending to be a baby? Is it fun to act like a baby?" Sister Hu returned to her seat and turned on her computer

What are you being silly about? Zuo Hang got into bed, being very careful not to touch Su Zhanyu

Do you still have any semblance of being an older brother! Su Zhanyu was startled and sat up while covering himself below

Su Zhanyu does not recall at all. However, when he was a child, his parents were busy with work and often left him home alone during overtime. At that time, he was afraid of the dark and had to wrap himself in a blanket, sleeping in the middle. In short, he needed to be able to touch something on all sides in order to feel secure
