Difficult To Raise Chapter 58

Chapter 58 After the Bewitchment is over, time is almost up…

After it was over, it was almost twelve o’clock, and everyone was tired after struggling for a long time, so they dragged themselves back to the tent to sleep.

Jiang Ran felt sleepy, and after washing briefly, he climbed into the tent.Before going to sleep, he subconsciously took out his mobile phone and planned to play with it for a while. When he held it in his hand, he realized that the thing had been turned off.

Jiang Ran yawned and took out the power bank to charge his phone. After charging for a few minutes, Jiang Ran lazily pressed the power button.

A message popped up unexpectedly. He lowered his eyes, slid his finger on the screen, and clicked on the page in the notification bar.It showed that there was a missed call, and the dialer was…Jiang Jin.

It turned out that the phone call just now was actually made to him.

Jiang Ran was startled slightly and felt his cheeks were getting hot again. He pursed his lips and deleted the missed call as if he was hiding his ears.

Too many things happened today. Jiang Ran was so tired that he almost fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. In a daze, he even had a dream.

The dream was during the year when he was repeating his studies. Once he went to the supermarket and came back from shopping. It happened to rain heavily. He sat on a bench and waited for the rain to stop. After waiting, he fell asleep.

Then, it seemed like a pair of hands reached out and put a coat on him.The smell on the coat was so familiar that he unconsciously murmured in his sleep, “Xiao Jin.”

“Yeah.”

Someone responded softly next to him.

Jiang Ran was awakened by the sound. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a faint black figure appearing in the tent.

Jiang Ran was startled and almost screamed. The second before he opened his mouth, the figure rushed forward and neatly covered his mouth with his hand.

“Brother, don’t be afraid, it’s me.” The black shadow said, the voice was very familiar, it turned out to be Jiang Jin.

Jiang Ran’s tense body instantly relaxed. He took a deep breath, pulled off the man’s hand, and said angrily: “It’s so late at night, why are you here if you don’t sleep?”

“I just wanted to come and see you. I didn’t want to wake you up.” Jiang Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping bag and said, “Put out your hand and let me take a look.”

Jiang Ran was startled, “What?”

“I was just playing a game and saw that your arm was red.” He glanced at him, turned on the tent light above his head, touched the zipper of his sleeping bag, and said softly: “Did you get bitten by an insect? Let me take a look.”

Jiang Ran was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t expect such a chaotic scene. Jiang Jin actually noticed it in such a few seconds.

Jiang Jin took out his hand and lifted up his sleeves. There was a mottled red rash on it, and blood-red marks were printed on his snow-white arms like red plums.

After looking at it for a moment, he took out a tube of white ointment and a pack of cotton swabs from his pocket.Tear open the package, squeeze out a little ointment on a cotton swab, and apply it carefully on the rash with the cotton swab.

Jiang Ran lay on the bed and looked at the lamp above his head. Neither of them spoke, but the surroundings were not quiet.He heard his own heartbeat, one after another, very violent.

After applying the medicine, Jiang Jin blew on his arm and said softly: “It’s done.”

Jiang Ran responded and turned his eyes to him.But I saw him putting his things aside naturally and sitting on the edge of the sleeping bag playing with his mobile phone, with no intention of leaving.

After a while, Jiang Ran couldn’t hold it back any longer and asked, “Aren’t you going back?”

Jiang Jin looked away from the phone, raised his eyes to look at him, and sighed softly, “Actually, I came out because I couldn’t sleep, brother.”

“It’s too quiet here,” he said. “I need some sound if I want to sleep.”

Jiang Ran said “Oh” and said without mercy: “You can listen to the song.”

“I didn’t bring headphones. Playing music would disturb other people.” Jiang Jin lowered his eyes, “Just let me stay here. I’ll be quiet. I’ll leave when you fall asleep.”

The look on his face when he said this was so pitiful that Jiang Ran couldn’t help but turn his head away and said, “It’s up to you.”

There was one more person in the small tent, which was naturally different from before. Although Jiang Ran had his eyes closed at the moment, he couldn’t fall asleep.He deliberately slowed down his breathing and counted the sheep in his mind, one, two, three… even after he counted a hundred, he was still sober.

At first, Jiang Jin was still stroking his phone and playing small games to pass the time. But after only a few minutes, he put the phone away and asked tentatively: “Brother, are you asleep?”

Jiang Ran didn’t say a word, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Jiang Jin stared at his sleeping face for a few seconds, as if he believed it, and did not move or speak for a while.

Silence returned to the tent.

Just when Jiang Ran was about to fall asleep, a suppressed cough suddenly sounded softly.

The voice was very soft, with a bit of deliberate forbearance. He only coughed twice and was suppressed forcefully, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone.

Jiang Ran frowned when he heard these coughs. He thought of the thin coat Jiang Jin was wearing. There was a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and the night wind was very cold. He couldn’t bear it even if he wore such little clothes and sat there all night.

His heart felt inexplicably and he couldn’t help but think, this little madman won’t catch a cold tomorrow, right?

“Ahem…”

The muffled cough came again.

Jiang Ran finally couldn’t lie still anymore, and suddenly sat up and looked up at Jiang Jin, “Didn’t you say you won’t disturb me? How can I sleep if the cough is so loud?”

Jiang Jin pursed his lower lip, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I couldn’t hold it back.”

He admitted his mistake so quickly that everything Jiang Ran wanted to say was blocked in his throat.It would be too unkind to blame him anymore. Jiang Ran’s lips tightened into a line and he said vaguely: “If it’s so cold, just lie down in. The sleeping bag is big enough anyway.”

The expression on Jiang Jin’s face paused, and he slowly raised his eyes. He looked at Jiang Ran: “Brother…”

As soon as he uttered two words, Jiang Ran interrupted him, “Shut up.”

He lay back down again, moved his body further in, freeing up a large space, and pretended to be impatient: “Don’t sleep if you keep talking nonsense.”

After a long time, a few muffled chuckles sounded in his ears, traveling along the shell of his ears.

Jiang Ran felt that he couldn’t save face, so he was about to say something harsh to him again.There was a sudden sinking next to him, and a body with a cool feeling lay down.

The temperature at night was indeed very cold. Jiang Jin’s whole body felt like ice after having been blown by the night wind for so long.Jiang Ran shrank down due to the ice, but he didn’t chase the person out, and even secretly pressed the sleeping bag tighter.

Jiang Jin did not dare to touch him with her cold hands. He only turned his face to his shoulder and whispered slowly in his ear: “Brother still loves me.”

Jiang Ran closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

After getting his wish and sleeping together with his brother, Jiang Jin finally planned to let him go.He gently touched the side of his face with his lips, and the touch was instant.

“Go to sleep, brother, I really won’t disturb you this time.”

After saying this, the surroundings became completely quiet, and even the vague coughing before disappeared, leaving only the sound of breathing clearly audible.

Jiang Ran hadn’t slept in the same bed with Jiang Jin for a long time, and Jiang Ran was a little unaccustomed to it. He tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep.The familiar smell of the people around him kept attracting him, making him a little restless.

He began to let his mind wander, thinking of random things to divert his attention.Thinking about the unfinished schoolwork, the hot pot we had tonight, and the shooting stars we just saw…

Then for some reason, he thought of Jiang Jin making a wish on the shooting star.What did he wish for?He looks so serious, this wish must be very important to him.

As Jiang Ran thought about it, his heart felt like a cat scratching his head, itching so much.

Didn’t this man just say that he couldn’t sleep?You shouldn’t be sleeping at this moment, right?Then if I ask, it should be nothing, right?

After struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind, but he saw that Jiang Jin had closed his eyes at some point, and his breathing was steady and regular, as if he was asleep.

Jiang Ran pushed him reluctantly, but there was no response at all.He bit his lower lip, feeling disappointed and angry at the same time, so he could only turn his head angrily.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished this action, he heard a gentle question from the person next to him.

“Why did my brother push me?”

Jiang Ran turned back in disbelief and met a pair of smiling eyes.Jiang Jin curled his lips slightly and smiled like a cunning fox.

It turned out that he was pretending to sleep, and he looked so good.

Jiang Ran grinded his teeth and glared at Jiang Jin fiercely. As he stared, he got the energy from nowhere and suddenly kicked his leg that was hidden in the sleeping bag, and asked angrily: “Let me ask you, what wish did you just make?”

“Huh?” Jiang Jin didn’t seem to respond.

Their faces were so close that they could almost feel each other’s hot breath.Jiang Ran felt a little uncomfortable, but he repeated it again, “I said-”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of muffled laughter. Jiang Jin looked at him, laughing so hard that his chest shook and his whole body trembled.

Jiang Ran became so angry that he wanted to pounce on him and bite him a few times.He unzipped his sleeping bag, rolled over on top of him, and covered his mouth.

As soon as her hand touched his lips, she met a pair of smiling eyes.His shadow was clearly reflected in the dark, bright pupils.

The moment their eyes met, their breathing seemed to have stopped for a second.The movements of his hands were frozen, and his heartbeat was so fast that it seemed like it was going to explode.

The smile on Jiang Jin’s face stopped at some point, and she just looked at him straightly.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a few seconds, maybe a dozen seconds.Suddenly, he reached out with the tip of his tongue and licked the palm of his hand, very lightly.But the hot temperature coming from the palm was very obvious.

A numbness spread from the palm of my hand.

Jiang Ran felt that his hand on his lips was getting hot, and his reason told him that he should take his hand back quickly, but this time, he didn’t want to listen to his reason anymore.

He stared at Jiang Jin, leaned over unexpectedly, and kissed his eyes gently.Jiang Jin subconsciously closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes swept across the corners of his mouth.

Then, the next second, his hand was violently pulled off.Jiang Jin held his wrist with one hand and clasped it on the sleeping mat, and pressed his head down with the other hand. She raised her face slightly and kissed him hard.

It was a very fierce, domineering, and somewhat aggressive kiss.

Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief from his kiss. He touched the zipper on his coat and pulled it down little by little.

The temperature of his fingertips brought with it the cold wind outside. It was cold when it touched his skin, but Jiang Jin’s body was very hot, with a heat that could burn people.

The two kissed for a while. Jiang Ran left his lips, moved down to his neck, and kissed him again at his Adam’s apple. Without much force, Jiang Ran passed over like a dragonfly on water.

Jiang Jin half-squinted his eyes, and could only see the flickering lights above his head. He gasped as if he couldn’t bear it, and spoke in a low voice, “Brother…”

“Shut up!” Jiang Ran yelled at him fiercely. He couldn’t hear his voice now, especially when he called his brother with such a breathy tone.

Jiang Jin opened her watery eyes and looked at him. She was obedient and didn’t say anything. She just stepped forward and took his earlobe in her mouth.

A warm, itchy touch, like a feather passing by my ear.Jiang Ran couldn’t hold back and bit him on the lip.

“Hiss,” Jiang Jin let go of him, frowned slightly, and said aggrievedly: “Brother, it hurts.”

“Stop talking.” Jiang Ran suddenly softened his movements and stroked his tight waistline with his hand.He leaned down and kissed the corners of Jiang Jin’s red eyes. His voice was so low and hoarse that he said, “Be good.”

The temperature was very low at night in the mountains, and the tent was not actually very warm, but neither of them felt cold at the moment. Instead, they were sweating.When Jiang Ran got up from Jiang Jin, he didn’t even wear a coat.

He didn’t look up at Jiang Jin, but just stared at the tube of ointment next to the sleeping mat, as if he wanted to poke a hole in it.

Jiang Ran was roaring crazily in his heart, it was all because of this ointment. If Jiang Jin hadn’t come to apply the medicine to him, he wouldn’t have let Jiang Jin sleep in. If he hadn’t let him sleep in, these things wouldn’t have happened…

The tent was eerily quiet, except for the heavy breathing of the two people.

Jiang Jin was covered with a blanket, but it only covered his waist and abdomen. His upper body was naked. His chest and neck were covered with red marks of varying shades, making him look embarrassed and ambiguous.

After a long time, he cleared his throat and broke the silence, “Brother, now you can finally give me a title, right?”

Jiang Ran lowered his eyes and said nothing, curling his fingers unconsciously.

After waiting for a while and getting no response, Jiang Jin sighed, reached for the coat that was placed aside, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and took out a cigarette, but did not light it, but just held it in his mouth.

“Don’t smoke here.” Jiang Ran finally spoke, his voice still a little hoarse.

“I don’t smoke,” Jiang Jin held a cigarette in his mouth and said vaguely, “I’ve been quitting it for a long time, but sometimes I can’t help but want to take a bite.”

Jiang Ran turned away and didn’t look at him. He didn’t want to think about why Jiang Jin couldn’t help but want to smoke at this time.

Even though he didn’t light it, there was still a faint smell of tobacco in his mouth. Jiang Jin held the cigarette in his mouth and was silent for a while. He stared at the dim tent light above his head, took a deep breath and said, “Just… this is my first time. No one has ever done this to me before.”

Jiang Ran: “…” At this moment, he really wished he was deaf.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Jiang Jin glanced at him quickly, then lowered his eyelids and whispered, “I just turned eighteen this year, and there are still several months left before my nineteenth birthday.”

Jiang Ran slowly turned his head and stared at him, suddenly recalling a line from a certain period drama in his mind: “I followed you when I was eighteen, you heartless man!”

Stop it, stop it.

Jiang Ran couldn’t help shouting in his heart, he couldn’t think of it anymore!

Jiang Jin didn’t seem to see the look in his eyes, and continued talking to himself, with an increasingly aggrieved look on his face, “If you don’t want to, I don’t want to force you. Anyway, I’m a boy, so this kind of thing is no big deal.”

He pulled the blanket down, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the hickey on his lower abdomen, rubbed his fingertips there, and sighed: “Fortunately…if this is a girl, maybe…”

“Okay,” Jiang Ran finally interrupted him unbearably, “That’s enough, I didn’t say anything.”

“Ah,” Jiang Jin took off the cigarette, held it between his fingertips, and laughed softly, “Brother, do you mean that you plan to take responsibility for me?”

Jiang Ran tilted his head, not wanting to look at him. He was silent for a moment, and finally said a low “hmm” in a voice as light as a mosquito.

“Then…” Jiang Jin leaned back, propped up his sleeping bag with his elbows, and looked at him unblinkingly with his dark eyes, “Kiss me.”

Jiang Ran’s eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his eyes with difficulty and looked towards him.

Jiang Jin was lying casually on the bed, with fluffy and messy black hair, wisps of redness at the corners of his eyes, and ambiguous and mottled marks on his chest and neck.

He was half-supporting the mat with one hand and pulling on the blanket around him with the other.She looked straight at him, stretched out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, “Come on.”

Jiang Ran looked from his beautiful hands and slender neck to his passionate and smiling face. He felt that the little lunatic at this moment was like a seductive water monster.

He also seemed to be bewitched and leaned towards him.
