Difficult To Raise Chapter 48
byChapter 48 Staying Overnight Jiang Ran was trying to figure out where to go back quickly…
Just as Jiang Ran was telling him to go back to where he should go quickly and not bother him here, he heard a crackling sound coming from outside, followed by a huge thunder, and raindrops fell almost instantly, covering the whole world in a hazy rain curtain.
Jiang Jin obviously heard it too. He pretended to walk to the balcony, took a look outside, and said with some embarrassment: “Brother, it seems to be raining.”
Jiang Ran ignored him.
He emphasized again: “It’s quite heavy, it’s a heavy rainstorm.”
“I don’t know if I can still get a taxi at this time. If I can’t, I’ll just walk back by myself. It’s not too far, just an hour’s journey.” Jiang Jin pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows as he said, “I just want to trouble my brother to lend me my umbrella. I will take the time to return it to you.”
Jiang Ran gritted his teeth, “You did it on purpose, right?”
Jiang Jin blinked, looking innocent, “How is that possible? How did I know it would rain?”
Even though he was reluctant in every possible way, Jiang Ran could not drive Jiang Jin away when it rained heavily.
What if something happens?
In the end, Jiang Jin stayed contentedly.
Jiang Ran worked hard and laid out the extra bed for him. He also chose a clean set of pajamas and gave it to him, asking him to take a shower first.
Jiang Jin was in the wrong, and he did whatever Jiang Ran asked him to do without daring to have any objections.Just after taking a shower, I deliberately wore only a pair of shorts.
Who knew that just after he came out of the bathroom, Tang Qin and Jiang Haodong came back together.
The two of them pushed open the bedroom door and saw a half-naked handsome man who had just come out of the bath.
Jiang Jin’s face turned a thin red from the steam, and even the ends of his eyes were stained with crimson. His freshly washed hair was wet, with water droplets still on the ends.
As he lowered his head, the droplets of water slid over his tight chest muscles and plump abdominal muscles, and followed the mermaid line into the exposed edge of his underwear. It was so sexy.
The two grown men were teased.
Tang Qin:……
Jiang Haodong:……
Jiang Ran:……
Several people in the room looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.Only Jiang Jin remained unmoved. He raised his head and smiled brightly at them, greeting them without any hint of indifference: “How do you do?”
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. He was so enthusiastic, so Jiang Haodong and Tang Qin had no choice but to say hello with a smile.
Jiang Ran glanced at Jiang Haodong and asked, “Haozi, why did you go back to the dormitory?”
Jiang Haodong said helplessly: “My wife was called away by her best friend. She won’t be at home tonight. I can’t sleep alone, so I just came back with Tang Qin.” He glanced at Jiang Jin: “Don’t introduce me?”
Jiang Ran thought for a while, “His name is Jiang Jin, it’s me…”
“Friends.”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jin interrupted him.
Jiang Ran stared at him, but he didn’t care and smiled at him, showing two tiger teeth.
Jiang Haodong touched his head and said slowly: “Your friend… is quite handsome.”
Tang Qin also echoed, “Which school are you from?”
“Chengshui.” Jiang Ran said.
“Ah?” Tang Qin searched around in his mind and couldn’t remember the name of which university this was. He asked doubtfully: “Is there such a university in S city?”
“Middle school,” Jiang Ran said without blinking, “He is just a kid.”
Tang Qin: “…High school student?”
Jiang Ran nodded, “Yes.”
“Okay… very good, young.” Tang Qin laughed twice and asked cautiously: “Is my brother an adult?”
Jiang Jin had already put on his shirt. He wiped his hair with a towel. While wiping, he replied with a smile: “Of course I am an adult. I am not a child.”
Jiang Ran glared at him, then turned to his two roommates and said, “It’s raining heavily outside. He may not be able to leave and will have to stay in our dormitory for one night.”
The two boys didn’t have any objections to this kind of thing. Anyway, there was an empty bed, so they agreed with a wave of their hands.
*
Jiang Ran was lying on the bed at night, and he couldn’t sleep at the thought of Jiang Jin standing opposite him.He tossed and turned, not knowing when his consciousness gradually became blurred.
I didn’t know how long I slept, but suddenly there was a shuddering sound in the darkness.In the dream, Jiang Ran felt something pressing against his body, with a temperature that seemed to be burning.
The thing went up the hem of his clothes, caressing and rubbing it inch by inch, as if it wanted to leave its own mark on him.When he touched his chest, Jiang Ran woke up suddenly. When he opened his eyes, he met a pair of shining eyes.
The person on top of him smiled and whispered: “Brother, you’re awake.” The movements in his hands showed no intention of stopping.
Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he recognized who it was, and then couldn’t help but feel a little angry.He slapped Jiang Jin’s hand, pulled his hand out of his clothes, and said angrily: “Why are you so crazy? Get out of here.”
His voice was low, almost a whisper.Jiang Haodong and Tang Qin were both sleeping in the dormitory, and he did not dare to make too much noise.
Jiang Jin seemed to know his concerns and took advantage of this to brazenly lie: “No, I want to be here.”
Jiang Ran pinched the soft flesh around his waist mercilessly, causing him to tremble in pain and almost scream.He simply lowered his head and buried it in Jiang Ran’s neck, saying in a muffled voice, “Brother, do you really want to wake them up?”
“Go to your bed and sleep.” Jiang Ran said angrily, “This way you won’t wake them up.”
“I don’t care.” Jiang Jin said very shamelessly, “Just wake them up. When you wake up, I will tell them that I am your boyfriend.”
“Stop making trouble.” Jiang Ran was really afraid of him, “What exactly do you want to do?”
“I just want to sleep with you.” Jiang Jin whispered, “I miss you so much, brother. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the same bed with you. I can’t sleep even if I can’t hear your breathing.”
Jiang Ran was silent. After a while, he said, “Jiang Jin, you have grown up, this is inappropriate.”
“Can’t it be just for one night?” Jiang Jin discussed in a low voice, “I’ll just hold you and do nothing.”
“This bed can’t accommodate two people.” Jiang Ran said, “I don’t want to fall out of bed or kick you out until midnight.”
The bed in the dormitory is not big. It is barely suitable for one person, but it is really too crowded for two people.Especially for two grown men, if they really want to sleep together, they can’t let go of their hands and feet, not to mention how frustrating it is.
“Then brother, let’s sleep on me.” Jiang Jin thought for a while, then hugged him and turned him over with skill, so that Jiang Ran lay on top of him, “This way he won’t fall.”
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Jiang Jin was hugging him completely.
His body was stiff and not very comfortable. Jiang Ran subconsciously struggled away and pressed his hand on Jiang Jin’s chest.
The skin underneath is firm and elastic, and feels very delicate to the touch.Their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, and their breaths were so close.
Being so close without any barrier clearly conveyed a fact to him.The man beneath him has completely grown into a man, an aggressive adult man.
The other party’s hot breath, the heat on the skin, and even the fragrance after bathing all send ambiguous signals.Such an atmosphere made Jiang Ran feel a little uncomfortable and nervous. He pushed himself up and tried to get up, but he was afraid of waking up his roommate, so he moved cautiously.
After finally separating a little distance, someone rubbed the back of his neck and pushed him back to where he was.Jiang Jin said hoarsely: “Stop moving, brother, please spare me.”
Jiang Ran froze immediately.He heard that Jiang Jin’s voice was very different from usual, deeper and hoarse, with a bit of a sultry flavor.He knew that Jiang Jin was emotional.
Jiang Ran immediately didn’t dare to move. He lay quietly on Jiang Jin like a sculpture, as if he was afraid of accidentally irritating him and making him act like a beast without hesitation.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard Jiang Jin laugh, and a moist kiss suddenly fell on his lips.Jiang Jin said softly: “Okay, I won’t touch you, go to sleep.”
“Be honest with me.” Jiang Ran gritted his teeth, “Otherwise I will really kick you down.”
“Brother, you’re teasing me.” Jiang Jin said innocently.
Who climbed into his bed first?!Jiang Ran resisted the urge to slap him.He knew that Jiang Jin would never go back to sleep in his bed, so he simply closed his eyes in despair.
“If you want to sleep, sleep well. If you think of anything else, I’ll beat you up.”
“I know, go to sleep now. I know you are already very sleepy.” Jiang Jin patted his back gently, murmuring softly like he was coaxing a child, “I still remember when I was sick when I was young, I was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep. You hugged me to comfort me like this, and you even sang to me.”
Jiang Ran listened to him quietly. Jiang Jin’s voice was very gentle. As he listened, he actually felt a little sleepy, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.
“Brother, do you know? In fact, not a single word of the song you sang is in tune.” Jiang Jin kissed his forehead, the end of his eyes, and the tip of his nose without any desire, only with cherishment. “But I still think it sounds good.”
“I really regret not recording it at that time, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it later…”
Jiang Ran couldn’t hear what he said next.He didn’t know when he actually fell asleep – maybe he was too tired, or maybe Jiang Jin’s tone and movements were too intoxicating. As soon as he relaxed, sleep swept over him overwhelmingly.
The next morning, Jiang Ran opened his eyes hazily and found that he was lying on the bed, and there was no trace of Jiang Jin around him.
He stood up suddenly and looked around. The empty bed for Jiang Jin had been neatly made, with quilts and pillows stacked together. There was no sign that anyone had slept on it.
It was as if he had a dream last night. When he woke up from the dream, the person was no longer there.A sense of loss suddenly surged in his heart, which he couldn’t explain or explain.Jiang Ran didn’t know why. There was something in his heart that prevented him from thinking deeply.
He slowly got out of bed and suddenly found breakfast on his table, a cup of soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and a tea egg.He reached out and touched it, but it was still hot.
Jiang Ran’s heart warmed slightly, he picked up the soy milk and took a sip, and found a note underneath.
“Brother, I have something to do and I have to leave first. Remember to eat well.” A cute bunny expression was drawn on the back.
It’s Jiang Jin’s handwriting.
The disappointment just now was gone, and I felt better somehow.
“Hey, brother?” Tang Qin also got up at some point. He immediately saw the soy milk and note in Jiang Ran’s hand, and lowered his voice and teased, “Do you usually call him that? It’s really interesting.”
He smiled, with a sour smile: “I also want a girl to call me brother and bring me breakfast.”
“Okay, don’t be poor.” Jiang Ran pushed him away, “Don’t you have class at eight in the morning today? You are almost fifty, and you will be late if you don’t leave.”
Tang Qin glanced at the time, and his face suddenly changed: “I’m going! I won’t tell you anymore, I’m leaving! The teacher in this class is notoriously cruel. If you are late, your regular points will be deducted…”
Jiang Ran laughed softly. He finished the breakfast Jiang Jin bought for him, then sat at the table and turned on his computer.
He has to finish his unfinished homework first.
He entered a few numbers with his right hand and pressed OK. The computer screen lit up instantly, and what came into view was the page that he had not exited before. Jiang Ran had opened this page countless times, and it was extremely familiar.
Lying quietly inside was a folder named Ran Jin, which contained the song Jiang Jin wrote to him.Jiang Ran glanced at it casually and was about to close it when he suddenly noticed a new file icon below with a simple three-word name – “I like you”.
Jiang Ran frowned, thinking about Jiang Jin touching his computer yesterday.He thought he was simply using his computer to play games or something, but he didn’t expect to copy something in. He opened the folder and found a video inside.
Jiang Ran’s heart beat rapidly. Even though he hadn’t clicked the button yet, even though he only knew the name, he already had a premonition.Jiang Ran took out the headphones with almost trembling hands and connected them to the computer.
Double-click the mouse and click the play button.
The face of Jiang Jin was revealed first. The youthfulness of the past had faded away and he had become more mature.He sat in front of the camera holding his guitar, with a bright smile on his face.He did not say a long opening speech like before, but simply put his index finger to his lips and made a quiet gesture.
“Shh.” He whispered: “Brother, listen carefully.”
“Listen to me, I like you.”
The slender fingers plucked the strings, and the moving melody poured out from the fingertips.Compared with the video from four years ago, his movements are obviously more skillful and he has more skills.But the only thing that remains unchanged is the way he sings, and the warmth hidden in it.
After many years, Jiang Ran finally felt that extremely precious feeling from his singing again, but this time, something seemed different.
The change of feelings is not only hidden in the eyes, but also in the heart. For Jiang Jin, it is also hidden in the song, in the melody, in every beating note, and even in every lyric.
“Like you.
So humble yourself into the dust.
Like you.
So always be careful.
The roses you raised with your own hands.
Just willing to fall into your palm.
Heavy rain falling above you.
There will be someone waiting with you for the weather to clear up.
I like you.
From the day I can remember.
I like you.
Even if there are thousands of separations.”
After singing the song, Jiang Jin’s brows and eyes were filled with irresistible tenderness. He stared at the camera tightly, as if looking at Jiang Ran through the camera.
“Did you hear that? Brother.” He murmured, like a question, but also like a statement: “How come I… like you so much.”
At the end of the video, Jiang Jin disappeared from the camera, replaced by a black rose, quietly placed next to the guitar, as if waiting for someone to pick it up.
Jiang Ran suddenly closed his eyes.The first song Jiang Jin wrote for him.It was on his eighteenth birthday.It was delivered to his hands in such a decisive way.The second song Jiang Jin wrote for him.After they finally met again, it was carved into his heart with an almost fiery attitude.
Every one of his lyrics not only tells his love, but also his cunning. He clearly knows what Jiang Ran needs, wants, and desires.He placed these things in front of him.Just within his reach, waiting for him to pick it up.
Regardless of whether he wants it or not, Jiang Jin has left a mark on his soul, a trace that belongs to him and will never be erased.
