Luo Lingsheng was very reliable. Even if he had said it on impulse, he had never thought of going back on his word.
The Luo family had some connections. With Shih Yunnan’s excellent results abroad, it was easy to arrange for him to enter the Capital’s No. 2 High School as long as he did not violate the education regulations.
After confirming that he could study in the country, Shih Yunnan made a special trip abroad to pack his school materials, luggage, and clothes.

This round trip took close to half a month’s time.
As soon as Shih Yunnan got off the plane, he received a call from Wen Yibei.
“Hello, Brother.”
“Shih Yunnan, are you hiding something from me?”
Wen Yibei went straight to the point. He used his full name, and there was a hint of anger in his voice that was rarely seen.
Shih Yunnan’s heart skipped a beat. He hummed and admitted defeat. “Brother, no. What can I hide from you?”
“Don’t give me that! Shih Yunnan, why did No. 2 High School receive your student record? “
“…”
Shih Yunnan was stunned for two seconds. Obviously, he did not know where the news had come from.
He waited until his checked luggage arrived and pushed it toward the airport exit. “Brother, how did you know? Actually, I just transferred back to study. I didn’t give up on my studies. “
Wen Yibei could not understand. “You’re doing well abroad. According to your exam results, it won’t be a problem for you to go to university. You …”
Shih Yunnan hesitated for a moment. He knew that some things could not be avoided. “Brother, the Shi family has long stopped giving me tuition and living expenses. Now that I’m an adult, it’s even more impossible for them to care about me.”
“…”
On the other end of the phone, Wen Yibei was silent. His slightly heavier breathing was enough to tell that he was starting to get angry.
“Don’t say things like asking Grandpa and Uncle to sponsor me. It’s already expensive to go to university abroad. You’re going to learn music next. If the Wen family cares about me, the elders might have a conflict.”
At that time, Wen Chenglang might look down on Wen Yibei even more.
“Yunnan.” Wen Yibei’s heart ached.
“Brother, you chose to stay with the Wen family while I chose to stay with the Shi family. This is the life path that we brothers have chosen. You don’t have to worry about me …”
The student in Shih Yunnan told Wen Yibei everything that he had planned. “I’m just changing my environment to continue my studies. I’m not giving up on my studies. I’m so smart, where can’t I get good grades?”
Wen Yibei wanted to say something but hesitated. “Have you really decided?”
“En, don’t worry. Next year, I will definitely show you the acceptance letter of a famous school.” The student from Shih Yunnan sat in the car and didn’t look depressed at all.
Even though half a month had passed, he still felt that it was a great deal to be able to stay in Luo Lingsheng for the sake of going to school.
Just wait and see.
Next year, besides the admission letter, he might even be able to get a boyfriend.
Wen Yibei took a step back. “In Yunnan, I will transfer money to your card regularly. I will think of a way to make up for the living expenses that the Shi family lacks.”
“Brother, I don’t need …”
“You’re my younger brother. I know your temperament. You’re an adult and don’t rely on the elders in the family if you don’t want to. But Mom gave birth to us two brothers, so we have to help each other.”
Shih Yunnan’s heart warmed. In the end, he agreed. “Okay, but don’t make it hard for yourself.”
Wen Yibei smiled. “I know. Many restaurants overseas are looking for part-time performers. Also, I plan to audition for a backup position in the orchestra. I’ll definitely find a way to save money.”
Shih Yunnan chatted with Wen Yibei for nearly 40 minutes. He only hung up when they arrived at Luo Lingsheng’s residence.
Shih Yunnan entered the electronic password that he got from Luo Lingsheng. However, the password unexpectedly showed that there was an ‘error’. He didn’t give up and entered two more passwords. However, he still couldn’t open the door.
“…”
Shih Yunnan frowned and took out his phone. He was about to call Luo Lingsheng.
It was 4: 30 pm.
The time displayed on the phone screen came into view.
Shih Yunnan thought for a while and put down his phone. “Forget it. What if he’s busy? Let’s not disturb him. “
Anyway, Luo Lingsheng would get off work in an hour. He could wait a little longer.
… …
Luo Lingsheng worked overtime a little late today. He didn’t get home until 8 pm. His eyes were unconsciously attracted by the figure on the ground.
Shih Yunnan laid the small suitcase flat as a chair and used the big suitcase as a table to rest. He was even holding a backpack in his arms.
He was really asleep. There were a few red marks on his face from the suitcase.
He looked pitiful and cute.
Luo Lingsheng chuckled. He leaned closer and gently pinched Shi Yunnan’s cheek. Then, he patted his shoulder solemnly. “Shi Yunnan?”
“Oh …”
Shih Yunnan rubbed his eyes in a daze. He looked up and saw the person in front of him. “Luo Lingsheng, you’re back?”
“Yes. When did you come back?”
“It’s past 4 pm. I couldn’t open the door. Did you change the electronic lock?” Shih Yunnan had just woken up and his voice was still a little soft.
“The electronic lock system was upgraded two days ago.” Luo Lingsheng unlocked the door with his fingerprint and asked, “Why didn’t you call me?”
Shih Yunnan endured the numbness in his legs and got up. He obediently approached Luo Lingsheng. “I was afraid that you were busy, so I planned to call you after you got off work. I didn’t expect that I would really fall asleep …”
Every flight was nearly 20 hours long. It was torture for him, who had very little sleep. Therefore, it was easiest for him to fall asleep after a long-distance flight.
Luo Lingsheng entered the passcode into the electronic lock and said to Shih Yunnan, “Come, enter your fingerprint. It’ll be more convenient for you to enter and leave alone in the future.”
Shih Yunnan heard this and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. “Ah? Oh. “
Luo Lingsheng caught his mood and asked, “What are you smiling about?”
“Nothing.”
Shih Yunnan happily entered his fingerprint and mumbled in a low voice, “I feel like I’ve become one of the owners of this house.”
Luo Lingsheng pretended not to hear him clearly, but the look in his eyes inadvertently became gentler.
The two of them entered the house together.
Luo Lingsheng saw Shih Yunnan’s luggage and said, “Go back to the guest room to pack your things. I didn’t know that you came back early. Want to eat simple pasta tonight?”
Shih Yunnan was starving. When he heard that Luo Lingsheng was willing to take the initiative to feed him, he immediately nodded. “Yes, I’m fine with anything. I’m easy to feed.”
Luo Lingsheng smiled faintly and replied, “It’s fine as long as you’re easy to feed. I’ll have to count your breakfast and breakfast with my fingers.”
Shih Yunnan seemed to have taken advantage of him. He smiled and replied, “I don’t care. I said that I’ll cover your food and accommodation. It’s too late for regrets now.”
With that, he took the two suitcases and slipped into the guest room that belonged to him.
Luo Lingsheng retracted his gaze from Shih Yunnan’s back and took the initiative to go into the kitchen to prepare a simple dinner for the two of them.
…
By the time Shih Yunnan finished packing his clothes, Luo Lingsheng had already finished cooking in the kitchen.
The two of them quickly finished their dinner and filled their stomachs.
Although Shih Yunnan stayed at Luo Lingsheng’s house for less than a week before going abroad to complete the paperwork, the two of them had a natural tacit understanding. When it was time to do business, they were determined not to occupy each other’s personal space.
After dinner, Shih Yunnan volunteered to wash the plates, while Luo Lingsheng took the work documents back to the bedroom.
After finishing his work, Shih Yunnan searched for summer part-time jobs nearby on the Internet until a sudden clap of thunder outside the window pulled his attention back.
“Forget it, I’ll look tomorrow.”
He put down his phone, which only had 10% battery left, picked up his clothes and went into the bathroom.
The weather in midsummer was unpredictable. Thunderstorms came frequently, and the storm hit the windows and windows loudly as if it didn’t want to stop for a moment.
Luo Lingsheng, who was working overtime, was a little depressed by the noise. He simply stopped working and turned off his computer.
Just as he picked up the coffee, suddenly there was a “pa” sound, and the light in the room suddenly went out.
“…”
Luo Lingsheng was startled. He immediately picked up his phone and checked the main power equipment at the entrance.
It didn’t trip, but there was still no power.
Luo Lingsheng was a little surprised by this “power failure” that had never happened before. He was about to pick up his phone to ask the property management when he suddenly heard a dull sound.
Luo Lingsheng remembered that Shih Yunnan was also at home, so he turned around and walked back. “Shih Yunnan?”
“… Luo, Luo Lingsheng.”
A trembling voice came from the bathroom.
Luo Lingsheng quickly realized that something was wrong. He held the bathroom door handle and pressed it, but unfortunately, the door was locked from the inside. “Shih Yunnan, what’s wrong with you?”
“Luo Lingsheng, you, you help me! It’s too dark in the bathroom, I, I can’t get up … “
Shih Yunnan’s anxious and frightened crying voice made Luo Lingsheng’s heartstrings tighten.
“Are you by the door?”
“No.”
After confirming Shi Yunnan’s position, Luo Lingsheng used all his strength to kick the door twice. Only when he knew that the door had been unlocked did he quickly walk in.
Luo Lingsheng used the faint light of his phone’s front light to capture Shih Yunnan’s figure.
At this moment, Shih Yunnan was curled up outside the glass door of the shower area. The fear in his eyes swept towards Luo Lingsheng like a tidal wave. There was a bloodstain on his exposed calf. It seemed that he had just broken it.
Even under the faint light, he could still see Shih Yunnan’s abnormal and bloodless face.
“Did you fall down just now?” Luo Lingsheng squatted down. “Can you stand up?”
As soon as his voice fell, Shih Yunnan suddenly used all his strength to crash into his arms. His teeth couldn’t stop chattering. “Luo Lingsheng!”
“…”
Luo Lingsheng felt that the person in his arms was completely abnormal. He was panting and trembling.
Was Shih Yunnan afraid of the dark?
Or was he claustrophobic?
The moment he guessed, Shih Yunnan tightened his grip again, as if he was afraid that he would be left behind. “I’m sorry, it’s too dark, I …”
“I know, don’t be afraid.”
Luo Lingsheng hugged Shih Yunnan with one hand and used the other hand to bring the light of the phone closer to him. “Can you see clearly? I’m here, it’s okay. “
Shih Yunnan didn’t answer. He just clung to Luo Lingsheng tightly. His whole body was still trembling unnaturally.
Not long ago, he had just finished showering. Before he could step out of the glass cubicle, the entire bathroom fell into darkness.
The memory of being bullied and locked in a dark utility room by foreign students when he was young came to his mind. Shih Yunnan fell into an uncontrollable instinctive fear.
Shih Yunnan fumbled for a bathrobe and put it on. He originally planned to go out of the bathroom to find Luo Lingsheng. But when it rains, it pours. His feet suddenly slipped and he fell heavily.
His calf probably hit the edge of the cabinet close to the ground. There was a sharp pain. It immediately made Shih Yunnan’s situation worse. At the moment when he couldn’t breathe, he almost thought that he was going to die in this place.
“Shih Yunnan, look at me.” Luo Lingsheng stretched out his hand and patted Shih Yunnan’s back. He repeated his gentle words to comfort him. “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Shih Yunnan grasped at the life-saving straw in the darkness. His thoughts on the verge of collapse finally got a little relief. His eyes were red and he tried to suppress his fear and cry. “Why, why did the battery suddenly die?”
“I don’t know what happened. I’ll take you out first.”
At this moment, Luo Lingsheng didn’t force Shih Yunnan to get up and leave. He simply picked him up and carried him back to his room.
Shih Yunnan touched the relatively soft bed sheet. Coupled with the continuous light of the phone, he finally found a trace of reason. “… Luo Lingsheng, my leg hurts a little.”
Luo Lingsheng squatted down beside the bed. He frowned and checked the scratch on Shih Yunnan’s calf. The wound was not deep, but the amount of bleeding looked terrible. He had to find a way to stop it.
Luo Lingsheng said, “Sit down and don’t move. I’ll go to the kitchen to get the first aid kit.”
“No need!” Shih Yunnan blurted out in panic.
He subconsciously grabbed his clothes and choked with sobs. “Can you not go first? I, I don’t want to be alone. “
“No, the wound has to be treated.”
Luo Lingsheng refused verbally, but in fact, he gently put the phone in Shih Yunnan’s hand. His slightly hot palm patted Shih Yunnan’s neck twice. The meaning of comfort was more obvious.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll be back in half a minute, okay?”
“…”
Shih Yunnan took a deep breath and reluctantly nodded.
From time to time, the lightning and thunder provided intermittent light. After all, he was walking in his own home. Luo Lingsheng quickly got the spare first aid kit.
When Shih Yunnan saw his figure again, his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Luo Lingsheng whispered, “Shine the phone down a little. I’ll treat your wound. It might be a little painful, so bear with it.”
Shih Yunnan responded in an imperceptible voice and obediently followed the instructions.
Five minutes later, the wound was treated.
“It’s done.” Luo Lingsheng slowly raised his head, but his eyes froze in an instant.
Because of the urgent situation just now, he did not pay attention to Shih Yunnan’s bathrobe was actually loose and half exposed. There were still a few drops of water that were about to fall.
Usually, the skin hidden under the clothes was delicate and white. Perhaps it was because it was soaked in warm water, or because he was overly nervous, but at this moment, there was a hint of red in the white.
Luo Lingsheng had an untimely impulse. He gritted his teeth and quickly closed Shih Yunnan’s open bathrobe and fastened it. “Are you better? Do you want to drink some water? “
Shih Yunnan did not notice the tension in his voice. He was still nervous. “When will the electricity come back?”
“I don’t know. I’ll ask.”
Luo Lingsheng took back his phone. Before he could send a message to the property management, he saw an emergency notice in the owners’ group chat.
“There’s a problem with the main power box downstairs. The maintenance staff is rushing to repair it. They’re not sure when the electricity will come back.” Luo Lingsheng said the result of the notice and looked at the time. “It’s already past ten o ‘clock. Go to sleep.”
Shih Yunnan heard the bad news and his breathing trembled. “Luo Lingsheng, I … can I stay in your room for the time being? I’ll just sit on the chair. I won’t disturb your rest. “
“If the electricity comes back, I’ll go back next door.”
It was an impossible task for him to return to the dark room next door to rest alone.
If he could stay here, at least he would know that Luo Lingsheng was next to him.
Luo Lingsheng’s expression changed slightly. He simply lifted Shih Yunnan and moved him from the end of the bed to the head of the bed. “Sleep in my room tonight. I won’t do anything to you. You’re not afraid of being taken advantage of when two men sleep together, right?”
“…”
Shih Yunnan did not say anything, but he did not resist Luo Lingsheng’s care at all.
The two of them covered themselves with a thin blanket and lay down on the bed.
Shih Yunnan felt an unprecedented sense of subtlety. On one hand, it was because of the fear that had not dissipated. On the other hand, it was because he was naturally moved. He carefully turned his body and moved to the side of Luo Lingsheng.
Luo Lingsheng could not detect Shih Yunnan’s approach. He suddenly asked, “What are you doing?”
His phone was still placed at the head of the bed, temporarily acting as a table lamp.
The two of them looked at each other in the dim light.
Shih Yunnan was caught red-handed. His cheeks were a little hot, and his voice was soft. “I want to be closer to you. I’m not afraid of being taken advantage of.”
Luo Lingsheng smiled faintly and reached out to pull Shih Yunnan into his arms. “Is this close enough?”
“…”
His sexy and bewitching voice echoed in her ears. Shih Yunnan inexplicably extended another kind of tension.
It was so close that she could not sleep.
“Seeing that you’re still young and afraid of the dark, I’ll sleep like this tonight.”
Luo Lingsheng’s fingertips seemed to rub Shih Yunnan’s bathrobe faintly.
“Aren’t you tired after such a long flight? Try to close your eyes and rest. You’ll feel the same if you close your eyes. I’ll leave the phone light on for you. I won’t leave. “
Shih Yunnan grabbed the corner of the other party’s bathrobe. “Okay, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
Shih Yunnan originally thought that it would be difficult for him to fall asleep in such an environment. However, Luo Lingsheng’s embrace seemed to have its own magic. He actually felt sleepy unknowingly.
He did not know how much time had passed.
Just as Shih Yunnan’s breathing stabilized and he was about to fall asleep, the lights in the room suddenly came back on.
Luo Lingsheng reacted in a second. He quickly picked up the remote control beside the pillow and quickly turned it off, returning the bedroom to darkness.
Shih Yunnan in his arms was extremely sleepy. He was a few beats slower before he spoke in his sleep. “… The electricity is back on?”
“No, it’s still dark.”
Luo Lingsheng’s arms around him tightened. He coaxed in a low voice, “Be good, go back to sleep.”
