Review:
Chen Su meets the men again and has known the cruel man named Wang Jun.But he will never expect that the bond between them would become deeper and deeper, starting from living together.
Chapter 9
After Chen comes back, from morning to nightfall, he is considering how to do in next step, go, or not go? The truth is, he’d better not provoke that cold fellow. The horrible moment is still vivid when he threw Chen down to the ground. The cold wind brushed his ear, wrist was likely broken and the bumped shoulder was painful, all the things enforce Chen to balance and consider. Further more, Liu Zhendong caught him before the dorm building, no way to escape, he won’t give up school for such reason! Considering this, Chen decides to do with as the cold man said for a short term, then to find some folk recipes to cure his insomnia. The problem may be solved totally therewith, thinking of this, he feels slightly relieved.
Putting on his own coat, he stands before the school gate with his bag, inside is the clothes Wang Jun gave. Where does Wang Jun live in? Yesterday, everything occurred too fast to notice and today morning, he always bowed his head and vomited upon leaving the lift, no more spirit to remember the route. After 20 minutes recalling, he has to give up and goes back to school.
Chen Su has self-study at night with upset, silent all night. The second day is also peaceful. But at noon of the third day, on the way for lunch, Chen meets Wang Jun.
The cold man looks like a person going a wrong way, he doesn’t belong to here and the simple school is not matched to his temperament. At the moment seeing him, Chen would like to run away. However, he can hide this second, while the school is always here.
Chen Su falls down and holds his belly incredibly. Without any warning, any precursor, Wang Jun hits Chen Su’s belly with the foot wearing boots. Not until Chen recuperates his mind, Wang Jun grabs his one hand to depart the school. Some men witness the conflict but no one gives a hand.
Chen Su realizes that he would imprison him veritably at once also recognizes Wang Jun has few patience with the instinct of survival. He scares,’I would have wanted to visit you but I didn’t know where you live, I promise!’
Wang Jun stares at him cruelly. Upon Wang does not grab him, Chen Su goes back several steps and feels a big ache for his wrist.
‘To pack up, ‘some one interrupts randomly, it’s Gao Yuan, ‘in a hurry~’
Chen Su goes to tidy, sweating constantly due to the heavy belly ache. His dorm mates are shocked to see Chen Su’s bad condition and want to carry him to the clinic, but Chen Su declines.
Withouthesitation, he comes downas soon as possible.WangJun has left. Loftyandleisurely, Gao Yuanlooksat the door to see theinformation boardthenlooksaroundfindingChen Su’spale and miserable appearance, ‘You needn’tworry, as long as you do not disobey him, and don’t challenge his principle, your life will be very easy, just follow what he says.’ Gao Yuan starts driving,’ Wang Jun hardly goes asleep, before meeting you, he did not have a sleep. What he longs foris just to sleep with you innocently without other meaning. Wang Jun is not interested in men. He isn’t a gay.’
Not interested in men? Chen Su thinks a bit, and this thing he never thought before. Chen Su knows the word - gay, but not has deep-level recognition. That is far away from Chen Su’s daily life.
Hasn’t been to Wang Jun’s house, Gao Yuan picks him to hospital for his severe belly ache.The doctor gives many medicines in hospital. Su frightens Wang Jun more deeply.
Chen Su drinksporridge for the next two days, then he looks like emergingunscathed apart from a bruised belly. During the time, he is convinced it is really difficult for Wang Jun to sleep. Every time upon he wakes from pain, he finds Wang Jun is reading or surfing the internet. Losing sleep is afflictive. Chen Su has to give up escaping and stay here.
It is inconvenience to live in hotel where is far away from Chen’s school. Chen gets severe motion sickness, also isn’t accustomed to lift. He has a harrowing time. So on the fourth day, Wang Jun moves to another flat near Chen’s school. It only spends him 20 minutes walking to school. It is the first time for Chen to appreciate house in the city , together with kitchen, bathroom, toilet, bedroom and sitting room. The house is trendy and great in Chen Su’s view, two bedrooms and two sitting rooms, electrical appliances are available, the furniture is completed, just lacking of popularity, spotless mostly like a sample of housing.
Wang Jun gives Chen the key and a bank card for daily cost. Password is so simple as 12345. However, Chen Su never uses bank card before and hears from it is easy to be stolen. So upon getting this card, he puts it in a glasses box. Chen is too simple to catch the fashion trend. Money, he won’t use another person’s, as he has his own self-esteem and pride.
Chen comes after four o’clock when he ends his lessons. Holding the key, from now, Chen regards himself as a city dweller. Fridge, TV, long dining-table, wing chair and a various of furniture, all are so fresh for Chen. Chen’s family can be regarded as the rich in his village. But it isn’t a small expense to afford three children be educated. And Chen’s family had also built the cement building two years ago. However, they don’t add new furniture. There are only old fitment and sacks of commissariat.
Chen Su calms down until he ends enjoyment for this void house half an hour later. There is nothing in this house! Firstly, no food! Nothing in fridge. No utensil in kitchen. It’s lucky on the ground floor, there is a booth selling pancake. He spends 0.5 RMB buying three packages to cover his two meals, eating with hot pickled mustard tuber, only considering being full not scientific nutrition.
From living here, Chen Su comes and backs between the house and the school. He is accustomed to the accommodation life, doesn’t have more hobbies, goes home directly. Sometimes, he would read in book shop. Chen Su returns the 700 RMB which he shouldn’t receive. Now he feels peaceful and relieved. It is so anxious to possess something not one’s own.
Truly, the goal for Wang Jun coming here is to sleep. Chen Su feels awkward at the beginning and feels natural several times later. As long as he obeys Wang Jun, he is easy to get along with. Wang never asks about Chen’s life and private affairs, only to find a person to accompany and improve his sleeping quality. This house is for Chen Su's daily life, not Wang Jun's.
Due to Wang’s cleanliness, Chen has progress on personal hygiene. It can be observed that Wang Jun is a clean man.
There has a bathroom and he can have a shower directly using the water heater. Having a morning shower makes it clean all day. Not longer, Chen loves the habit to wash twice in a day, morning and evening. Obviously, personal habits is related to living condition. Chen Su feels more and more homey after he finds Wang only comes here not more than 10 times in a month. Everyday, Chen walks 20 minutes to have lessons ,has lunch in canteen, then buys 0.5-RMB sweet steamed bread to be dinner and tomorrow’s breakfast.
Although the house is big, Chen still likes to write homework on dinning table. There is only two weeks before mid-term examination. Chen wants to achieve a good score. It is ideal to get school scholarship if he can receive high marks for both mid and end term exams. That’s a honor. Chen Su, never being superior than others on study, wants to get a scholarship, which is his little dream. Now he has such good learning environment, why not devoting more efforts?
Door opens and Wang Jun comes in.
It is the first time for Gao Yuan and Liu Zhendong visiting here. After is Song Wei, Chen Su sees Song Wei for the second time. His cruel eyesight always makes Chen Su want to flee.
Under their staring, Chen Su puts away his books quickly and goes back to his room. He isn’t good at getting along with them.
They are talking in the sitting room. Chen Su has to tidy quilt on balcony. Though the house has heating, the sunshine will warm the quilt and give it natural fragrance.
Back and forth a few times also no one notices him, Chen Su puts back the quilt and is ready to learn.
‘Don't you make dinner?’Liu Zhendong turns back and asks. It's almost dark. The days become warmer, the northern time is a little later than hometown.
Make dinner? Chen Su subconsciously looks at the plastic lunch box at the corner of table. Inside is streamed bread, which is his dinner and tomorrow’s breakfast.
Not really boast, although Chen Su born in a rural area, although he is the most humble son in his family, his hands do not touch the housework, since childhood only work is studying. Smart mother Chen has a great patriarchal ideology. The earliest daughter has started help house works upon graduating from primary school. Certainly, it is also associated that Chen Jie didn’t want to study. In the busy season, the three brothers are in the school generally. Chen Su is really not interestede in cooking. It saves time and efforts in school canteen, he just needs to wash his own bowl, so great! Actually, Chen Su explores a long time before learning the usage of natural gas to heat up water here.
Chapter 10
Opening the fridge, there is nothing but two bottles of drink. The kitchen is so clean and like a new one as usual, without any smell of cooking lampblack. ‘Where do you have meals usually?’Wang Jun frowns and wonders. Actually, they consider Chen Su would ask them for dinner on time for meal.
‘School canteen.’
They immediately give screwy faces to express their great despise and detest for canteen. Wang Jun hands over some cash and commands Chen to go to buy food.
These evil capitalists! A bunch of nasty celebrity! Chen Su says silently in heart with AQ-style and goes downstairs.
Chen Su has never cooked before, at least, he knows the basic daily necessaries. The only thing Chen Su confirms is that there is nothing in kitchen, no rice, no oil, no salt. Then Chen Su, holding 500 RMB, in the 24 hours supermarket, walks back and forth at least four times and selects carefully based on price and quality, to buy a bag of rice(20kg), a pot of oil, a packet of salt, a packet of surge, a bottle of soy sauce. And he also remembers to buy the boxes for these seasoning, cook copper, chopping board, pots and duster. Chen Su is trying his best not to forget anything, and it seems not to leave out. Lastly he buys some vegetables and bacon. Emm, maybe it’s enough? But how to carry them to home? Never mind, he finds a tricycle to pick him home, and he still doesn’t forget to buy some onion and ginger conveniently.
The worker carries the things to kitchen one by one. Suddenly Chen Su finds he forgets a absolutely essential thing - pot. Not only no pot but also no bowls and chopsticks.
Half an hour later, he backs along with the late afternoon sun and wind. Then what a pity! He still forgets the electric rice cooker and plates. Once again???
‘Let’s eat outside.’They all have been hungry for a long time, just feel curious about how many things Chen Su can buy with 500 RMB. Currently, all around the ground are different kinds of things for cooking.
They leave and Chen eats the steamed bread as dinner. The raw bacon and vegetables let Chen busy a while, thanks to the fridge. Chen family’s little shop has an ice cuber box for every summer’s ice cream sale, it is no problem to reserve food for a week.
Wang Jun doesn't come back until midnight. Chen is sleeping. All the things Chen Su brought is in the kitchen, on the dinning table lay the detailed shopping list and reminding 163 RMB.
In the second morning, Wang Sun gives an order - washing the bed sheet. He stipulates the bed cloths should be changed and washed every three days, and throws the low level dishes in kitchen. In this afternoon, the whole set of high-grade kitchenware will be sent home. And the last command is to let Chen Su throw the dirty sport shoes and buy new clothes and glasses.
Chen Su looks at Wang Jun, the pair of shoes costs Chen 90 RMB and is just in use for two months. In these two months, it is his fault not to wash it and rural people really don’t concern about shoes. But how can throw it? It’s wasteful. A pair of shoes can use more than 3 years and the glasses were just brought last year, much better than the last pair which had been used for four years. Clothes? New Clothes? It isn’t new year, how could he spend too much on clothes like girls, only having 300 RMB living expanse every month?
Wang Jun also asks Chen Su to throw the clothes in the wardrobe. They are all new only worn one or two times before and never washed. Chen Su isn’t an opportunistic man and has some moral integrity. However, he feels so reluctant to throw these totally new things, including some still sealed. It isn’t wise to talk about integrity with this wealth man who has high level life. Chen cannot help saying, ’Could you deliver these to me? Throwing is lavish, they are all new!’
Wang Su glares at Chen, speaks nothing, it may be agreement.
Wang Jun is higher than 190cm, Chen is just a little higher than 170cm, shorter than Wang Jun almost the height of an entire head. The clothes must be unsuitable, especially the trousers and shoes. Chen is short, also the feet are small. Wang Jun’s shoes are like boats! Chen Su considers to take them to hometown, he still has some brothers!
