Near Lin Jin's home, there was only a small late-night snack stand. On a busy night, there would be three or four mobile stalls selling Fuding barbeque and stuff. That was about it, these stalls served only the local residents, as there were no entertainment venues nearby. Over the years, the stands remained small and unassuming.
The liveliest area near Lin Jin's home was probably Walmart Plaza, but the food snacks there were a bit too expensive for Lin Jin. A single portion costed 20-30 or 30-40 yuan, which was more than a broke guy like him could afford. So, Lin Jin decided to take a bus with Lin Chen and Yuli to the pedestrian street.
The pedestrian street was about a 10 minute bus ride away, or a 20-30 minute walk. But for Lin Jin, who'd rather sit than stand, and rather lie down than sit, the bus was the obvious choice.
Then he regretted it.
After waiting at the bus stop for five minutes, someone he never wanted to see again walked out of the nearby residential area. The man had a warm smile on his face, threw his trash into a nearby bin, and then headed straight for Lin Jin.
"What a coincidence" Yuli spoke first, walking up with a smile. She tip-toed and hooked her arm around Liu Shengqi's neck, "Right?"
"Yeah, what a coincidence. Just coming down to throw away some garbage and I bump into you" Liu Shengqi was a little uncomfortable with Yuli's intimate behavior. There was some slight embarrassment on his face. Then, as if noticing Lin Jin for the first time, he froze before exaggeratedly greeting, "Hi."
Hi? Hi my ass!
Lin Jin's face darkened. He quickly glanced at Yuli, whose expression was filled with a mischievous smile, and immediately understood what was going on. His face darkened even more, but under the cover of night, Liu Shengqi didn’t notice as he confidently stepped forward.
"Is this your friend?" Liu Shengqi finally noticed Lin Chen, who was standing near the bus stop.
Could he be my love rival?!
Liu Shengqi vigilantly scrutinized Lin Chen from top to bottom.
He seems a bit more handsome than me, a bit more built too. His height is about the same as mine, but he seems to be quite close with Lin Jin, even standing within a meter of him!
"My younger brother" Lin Jin casually replied.
"Oh." Liu Shengqi immediately relaxed.
"Um, not blood-related. He's just a close friend who's a bit younger than me, so it’s like a younger brother" Lin Jin added slyly. "We even slept together last night."
What the f*ck?!
Liu Shengqi's eyes widened as he stared at Lin Chen.
They actually slept together~ They actually slept together~ They actually slept together~
The strong resentment from Liu Shengqi made Lin Chen feel a sudden chill. He looked around and saw a lunatic staring at him. Confused, he glanced at Lin Jin and then back at Liu Shengqi. He frowned slightly, he sensed some unspeakable tension between them so he quietly moved a little farther away from Lin Jin.
Thus, before Lin Chen could even understand what was going on, his relationship with Liu Shengqi, whom he'd just met, had already plummeted to the negatives.
"The bus is here." Yuli was still very excited. When she saw the bus coming in the distance, she kept jumping around on the platform like a five or six year old child.
Originally, Lin Jin though that Liu Shengqi would have calmed down after they got on the bus. However, even though Lin Jin found a single seat to sit down at, Liu Shengqi still stubbornly stood beside him, continuing to glare at Lin Chen in the back.
Lin Chen remained baffled.
Since it was past 7 and it wasn’t a school day, there weren’t many passengers on the bus. Apart from Lin Jin and his group, there were only five or six other people scattered throughout the bus. So Liu Shengqi, the only one standing, was extremely eye catching. After he glared at Lin Chen, he would turn to look affectionately at Lin Jin.
"Does this guy like my brother?" Lin Chen, who had been confused up to this point, finally pieced it together. Especially considering Lin Jin's ambiguous comments, he guessed, "And my brother really dislikes him?"
"No, your brother actually likes him a lot." As a troublemaker, Yuli would never refuse any opportunity to troll Lin Jin. "Hitting means affection and scolding shows love. Your brother really does like Liu Shengqi."
"Don't lie to me. I ranked top three in my school’s mock college entrance exam. My IQ is higher than my brother’s so I’m not as easy to trick" Lin Chen shrugged helplessly. "It's obvious you're just trying to cause trouble."
But it didn't seem to be that surprising for such a beautiful brother to be liked by a man, right? Lin Chen even found himself somewhat drawn to his own brother.
Although Lin Jin’s temper wasn’t very good sometimes, his playful temperament was very attractive. Of course, the main thing was the good looks.
After a ten minute ride, the bus stopped at the pedestrian street. Lin Jin immediately rushed off. He was disgusted being stared at by Liu Shengqi on the bus. Lin Jin was like a bird released from a cage as he dashed towards a stinky tofu stall.
Then he bumped into something hard and fell to the ground. He was a bit dizzy and felt as though his butt had split into several pieces.
F*ck, that hurts.
Lin Jin's tear ducts were quite sensitive. It only hurt a little but it felt like the tears were already about to fall. He held his head and rubbed it a couple of times, but then realized that his butt seemed to hurt even more. However, rubbing his butt in public seemed a bit indecent.
Looking up, Lin Jin looked at the thing he had just ran into. It was a tall man as bulky as a iron tower. The man bent down slightly and stretched out his hands towards Lin Jin with an apologetic look on his face.
"Are you okay?"
"Uh, I'm fine" Lin Jin shook his head.
Liu Shengqi got off the bus next. This guy’s eyes seemed to have been equipped with automatic tracking systems. He immediately locked onto Lin Jin, who was about 10m away, sitting on the ground and blankly looking at the man in front.
Could it be that Lin Jin was being harassed?
Though he wasn't quite sure what was going on, he saw that Lin Chen, who had gotten off the bus later than he did, was already jogging toward them. Only then did he react and hurriedly go over.
Lin Jin was still somewhat dazed. Just as he was about to extend his hand to let the man in front of him pull him up, he suddenly found his arm grabbed by Lin Chen, who then directly hoisted him up.
"What happened?" Lin Chen frowned slightly, looking at the man in front of Lin Jin.
"It's nothing, I was running too fast and bumped into him."
Then Liu Shengqi and Yuliri also came over, both showing concern and asking Lin Jin how he was.
Near Lin Jin's home, there was only a small late-night snack stand. On a busy night, there would be three or four mobile stalls selling Fuding barbeque and stuff.
