You Are My Unreachable Grandeur [BL]

Part 3

I got sick, it was due to the cold.

I went to the hospital without telling anyone, but unexpectedly saw the people I least wanted to meet in my life.

My parents and my brother.

My brother seemed to have a severe illness, wearing a mask, listlessly leaning on my dad's shoulder.

My mom was arguing with the doctor inside.

"Nonsense! My son was fine, it's just that you can't treat him properly!"

"Call your director out, I want to complain about you!"

The doctor, adhering to good medical ethics, patiently said: "I know you're anxious, but this disease isn't something that can be cured just by saying so."

"We need a highly matched bone marrow, and also need your cooperation on the financial side."

My mom was very emotional: "I'm his mom, can't I do it?"

Seeing the doctor shake his head, she completely lost it and started crazily smashing things in the consultation room.

The family of three were surrounded by a crowd, all pointing fingers.

Dad suddenly looked up in my direction, he was stunned.

I panicked and ran.

They are my nightmare.

I should hate them.

As if returning to the past, there wasn't a day my body was well, but in their eyes, it was a normal thing.

The year the family couldn't afford my brother's tuition, they found out a certain nouveau riche had special tastes, drugged the water I drank.

They sent me to that man's bed.

I saw, they had greedy smiles on their faces, happily counting the money, not forgetting to instruct: "Have fun, we don't plan to keep this son anyway."

Truly heartless.

If they didn't like me, why did they give birth to me, why didn't they strangle me when I was young.

Seeing their current state, can I say it's retribution?

Bao Jian Zhi's tenth phone call, I calmed down a bit before daring to answer.

"Brother."

He was barely holding back his anger: "Where are you?"

I numbly watched the hospital across the street.

"Just wandering around outside."

"Can wandering take you to the hospital?"

The scenery in front of me suddenly got blocked, the familiar scent of agarwood, high-end leather shoes stepping on my shadow.

The man was holding a phone, still showing the call with me on it.

"You lied again."

I helplessly fiddled with the palm of my hand: "Sorry, brother."

He touched my forehead with the back of his hand.

"Why didn't you say you had a fever?"

"You've been very naughty lately."

I looked at him sadly.

He seemed to soften, crouched down, his tone became gentler: "What's wrong?"

"I saw them."

"Who are they?"

"My family."

Bao Jian Zhi didn't say anything, just hugged me.

"Ah Chen, I am your family, they are not."

I guess Bao Jian Zhi and I made up.

In the past few days, he's been coming to see me often, but he seems quite busy, I don't know what he's dealing with.

When Jiang Sui came, I was painting in the courtyard, the subject was Bao Jian Zhi.

She clapped her hands in praise: "It looks good, very detailed."

"So you like him, right?"

I was stunned, didn't answer.

Jiang Sui picked up the painting, scrutinized it for a while, shook her head.

"Too bad, you two are impossible." She tore the painting.

"Even if his sexual orientation is abnormal, but, a person like you? Are you sure you're not smearing his name?"

"I grew up with Jian Zhi, he's a very outstanding person, do you know how many people want to climb into his bed, to become Mrs. Bao?"

"Bao Chen, let him go, he deserves better."

My hands trembled as I picked up the paintbrush, in a panic, a voice appeared in the courtyard.

"What is better? If I don't like it, no matter how good it is, I don't want it."

Bao Jian Zhi's sudden appearance startled Jiang Sui.

She explained: "I did it for your own good."

"No need, don't come to find me again."

He picked up the paintbrush, took my hand.

"There's no one better than him."

My heart trembled, my heartbeat skipped a beat, indescribable feelings surged.

Jiang Sui pursed her lips.

"Bao Jian Zhi, you will regret this."

"Jiang Sui, I never regret."

Later, I often recalled this day.

Bao Jian Zhi holding my hand, saying he never regretted.

I finally understood what it meant to have a heart that skipped a beat.

"If I hadn't come back, would you have listened to her and left me?"

I didn't dare nod.

But the astute Bao Jian Zhi saw through me, he sneered.

"Bao Chen, have I been too polite to you, so you never knew where you stood?"

I looked at him full of confusion.

The man suddenly lifted me by the waist and walked into the house.

"No worries, I will just teach you a lesson."

"Your leg—"

"—Instead of worrying about mine, worry about yourself first."

Everything happened too fast, I didn't even react.

Bao Jian Zhi was very skilled at kissing, intoxicating.

This was also the closest we had ever been.

Jiang Sui's words seemed to have completely provoked us, that kind of brotherly relationship maintained for many years was overturned.

He supported my head, entwined me in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Do you want to love me, even though I am a man?"

I was gasping for breath, overwhelmed by his straightforwardly lustful gaze.

All the maturity, calmness, and steadiness I had seen in him before, all disintegrated.

So, Bao Jian Zhi, what kind of you, is the real you?

He held me with his scorching palm.

"Take a good look, whatever I look like in your eyes, that's what I am."
