He liked Shen Xigou.
When he first came up with this idea, Fu Yuanzhou was taken aback by himself, but after gradually calming down, he suddenly felt that it was a matter of course.
Originally, Shen Xigou was his good friend. They had similar interests and matched personalities. Shen Xigou himself was an outstanding person, so there was nothing to say about him. Later, they had a physical entanglement again. So, it was not surprising that strange feelings would arise when being entangled with desire such as his love for him.
Having sorted out his feelings, Fu Yuanzhou was thinking about what Shen Xigou thought of him at the same time. Undoubtedly, Shen Xigou liked him very much, this like referred to friendship, he was sure that Shen Xigou attached great importance to him, but he didn’t know if this liking was mixed with other factors.
Originally, he always felt that he should not think too much, but what Shen Xigou said to him in the video call a few days ago was too ambiguous—as his friend and bed partner, he said that it would be enough to have him in his future life, what did he really think? It made people’s thoughts go crooked.
It’s just one sentence, and he was not Shen Xigou himself, so Fu Yuanzhou was not completely sure, but he felt that Shen Xigou didn’t just feel pure friendship towards him, at least he still had a desire for his body. Of this, he could be sure.
Even if they were just bed partners now, maybe after a long time, there would be love? Just like he felt for Shen Xigou.
Thinking of Shen Xigou who was far away in another country, Fu Yuanzhou’s heart turned into a dandelion, which made him itchy, and it was blown away by Shen Xigou’s wind, until the petals flew away with a “hulahula”.
The vacation time was coming to an end. Fu Yuanzhou took the flight to go abroad. Before returning to Shen Xigou’s villa, he bought some toys. Since they maintained a physical relationship, if he wanted to become closer to Shen Xigou, it was better to start here. On the other hand, it might make Shen Xigou like him even more.
When he returned to the villa, Shen Xigou was not there. Shen Xigou had mentioned during their call that he had something to do and would arrive later. Fu Yuanzhou had the key himself, so it didn’t matter if Shen Xigou was not there.
This kind of situation was actually rare. When Fu Yuanzhou came back from school, Shen Xigou was basically always at home. Shen Xigou had a job, but he always worked at home and rarely went to the company. Anyway, it was his own company. He could do as he liked.
It was just right for Fu Yuanzhou that he was not in the villa, he had to hide those toys, but when he took these things out of the tight packaging, Fu Yuanzhou was still ashamed, when did he become so unscrupulous…
After thinking again and again, he finally hid most of his things in his bedroom, and a small part in the living room. Because he didn’t want to touch Shen Xigou’s things privately, he didn’t go to Shen Xigou’s bedroom, but only hid them in these two places.
Hiding the handcuffs under the sofa cushion…
Fu Yuanzhou squatted in front of the sofa, lifted the cushion, and was about to hide the special handcuffs under it, when he suddenly found a series of small packages, about four or five, each with small characters on it that Fu Yuanzhou couldn’t understand, but he guessed it was a pill.
What kind of medicine was this? Cold medicine?
He thought it was the medicine that had accidentally fallen under the sofa cushion, and he didn’t take it seriously. Only the expiration date was checked, and it hadn’t expired yet, so he put the medicine in the medicine box casually.
After putting the handcuffs under the cushion, Fu Yuanzhou tried to sit on it for a while, and could feel something stuck underneath. He felt that it was inappropriate to hide the handcuffs here, so he moved them to other places instead of hiding anything under the sofa cushions.
At night when Shen Xigou came back, he hugged Fu Yuanzhou as soon as he entered the door, saying that he missed him very much, and Fu Yuanzhou also said that he missed Shen Xigou very much. The two started kissing, and then Shen Xigou carried him upstairs, and he entered his own bedroom, so it was a pity that the things Fu Yuanzhou prepared were not used that night.
Fu Yuanzhou was so tired that he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dawn, and he went downstairs with a yawn. Shen Xigou had already prepared breakfast, but he didn’t sit at the table to eat with him, instead he kept looking around, as if looking for something.
“Your things are missing?” Fu Yuanzhou asked, “What? I’ll help you find them together.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Seeing him coming down, Shen Xigou stopped looking for it, and smiled at him: “It’s not very important, but I can’t remember where I put it, but it doesn’t matter if I can’t find it.”
“Is what you’re talking about a medicine?”
“Huh?”
Fu Yuanzhou remembered the pills he saw under the sofa cushion, and said, “I put them in the medicine box.”
“…Is it.” Shen Xigou paused, opened the medicine box and took the pills out, then he said with a smile, “I just forgot to look in the medicine box, thank you.”
“What kind of medicine is this?” Fu Yuanzhou asked casually.
“It’s psychotropic drugs.” Shen Xigou said, “My parents came here to play during the New Year, and some of my mother’s medicines disappeared. I needed to find them.”
Fu Yuanzhou nodded. He knew Shen Xigou’s mother’s situation and after asking a few words about her recent situation, he didn’t doubt anything, then after Shen Xigou put away the medicine, the two of them had breakfast together, and passed a sticky day together.
A few days later, Yi Lianna sent a message to Fu Yuanzhou, said hello to him, and apologized to him again: I’m sorry, I was really wrong that night, please forgive me…
I didn’t care about it long ago. Fu Yuanzhou was helpless. He really didn’t expect Yi Lianna to feel so guilty. She had already apologized many times to him for this matter. This is not your problem, so you don’t need to apologize to me.
Please, please forgive me, otherwise Xigou will not let me go.
Yi Lianna was typing, feeling miserable in her heart. Now it was good, Shen Xigou enjoyed the benefits she brought him, but still did not intend to let her go. During this period of time, she had been miserable, whoever told her to touch his baby, she must pay the price.
I forgive you. Fu Yuanzhou had said this many times, and then he asked curiously, did Xigou talk to you about anything? He is mad at you?
It’s a long story… Yi Lianna said, you know, it’s a terrible thing to offend him, especially when it comes to you, but I don’t think you realize how terrible he really is, because the way he treats you and us is completely different.
Fu Yuanzhou was very happy to hear that, but also surprised. He thought Shen Xigou was a very gentle person: How does he usually treat you?
This…
Yi Lianna thought about it for a while, and felt that she couldn’t tell the truth, so she quickly ended the topic, and asked instead: Do you want to see his previous photos? My mother kept some.
Fu Yuanzhou readily agreed. Yi Lianna sent him a lot, most of which were photos of Shen Xigou when he was a teenager. He stood next to his mother for a group photo. The mother and son looked very similar. In the photos, Shen Xigou’s mother was soft and demure, in fact it didn’t appear at all that she suffered from a serious mental illness.
His mother was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Yi Lianna said, but unfortunately, she was very ill and could only stay at home and hasn’t stepped out of her courtyard for several years.
Several years? Fu Yuanzhou was stunned, obviously Shen Xigou said that his mother came to the villa to play during the New Year, and left the medicine here, Are you sure?
Yes, I’m pretty sure, my mother and I visited her over the New Year and she never left the house.
Fu Yuanzhou ended the conversation with Yi Lianna filled with doubts. If she didn’t lie, then Xigou lied, but why did he lie? What good would it do him?
He was fascinated while looking at the old photos that Yi Lianna passed on to him, then he accidentally noticed the small package of pills on the coffee table, which was similar to the medicine he picked up, but Fu Yuanzhou never saw it again in the villa. It was as if the medicine was gone.
The letters of the name of the medicine on the photo were very small. Fu Yuanzhou barely made out most of the letters till his eyes hurt. After trying many times on the Internet, he finally typed out the correct name of the medicine. It really was a medicine for treating mental illness.
Suddenly, a terrible conjecture arose in Fu Yuanzhou’s mind. He thought of the reason why Shen Xigou lied—what if those medicines were not his mother’s, but his own?
Mental illness may be hereditary. Shen Xigou had always behaved very normally, so Fu Yuanzhou did not suspect him, thinking that his mother got the disease after giving birth to him, but what if it was before she was pregnant with him?
If so… Fu Yuanzhou suddenly remembered that Shen Xigou had said before that he didn’t want to have children in the future. Could it be because he didn’t want to pass on diseases to his offspring like his mother?
He asked Yi Lianna to verify his suspicion with her mother, and he got an affirmative answer. Shen Xigou’s mother had been ill since she was a teenager.
They couldn’t be sure whether Shen Xigou had inherited the disease from his mother, they thought not, since Shen Xigou had behaved normally since he was a child, and was very good, and unlike his mother, he didn’t have any signs of illness.
But because of those pills, Fu Yuanzhou couldn’t let go of his mind. He felt that it was probably Shen Xigou’s medicine. He had been hiding the fact of his illness from everyone, including him.
Fu Yuanzhou felt very uncomfortable, not because he was angry about Shen Xigou’s concealment, but because he felt sorry for Shen Xigou, and at the same time blamed himself for why he didn’t find out earlier and let Shen Xigou bear the pressure alone.
