A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 081 - "Neighbours"

Sheng Wang Laughed Forcefully, Saying, “Ah...Yeah. Reminiscing About Childhood and Stuff.”

Only at this time then did Sheng Wang discover that he may talk big, but when it came down to it his actions were rather pathetic. Teasing Jiang Tian came as easy as breathing, but now because of a single line — four words — his world was sent into an upheaval, and his defenses collapsed just like that.
The two did not dare to stay in the living room in the end； they chose to return to the second floor.
//It was clearly winter, but the room remained warm and stuffy nonetheless. The air-condition hummed as it operated, Sheng Wang felt like his brain was approaching that state too.
His eyes, covered by the back of his hand, were a little teary as he remained leaning backwards. His eyelashes fluttered, and his pupils lost focus as his mind blanked out, wave after wave.

Jiang Tian’s breathing was heavy too. He took out a few pieces of tissue, intending to wipe his hand, but the hand was held down by Sheng Wang instead.

Such a tall lanky boy can weigh down quite heavily too. He said, his voice hoarse, “I nearly thought I’m the only one who’s this affected by a little touch. I believe in reciprocity, let me help you too.”

It was the first time Sheng Wang saw Jiang Tian like this — his eyes slightly lidded, the Adam’s apple on his throat a flushed red. His gaze was piercing and full of turmoil as he lowered his eyes.
This sight belongs to me alone, nobody else will get to see him like this, he thought.

The room seemed to have heated up, his own neck and ears were boiling red too. He narrowed his eyes,tightening his grasp. He said to Jiang Tian, “Ge, I want to take a picture of the way you are now.”
Jiang Tian curled a single leg and closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened them again, and pulled Sheng Wang into a kiss with his hand at the back of Sheng Wang’s head, his head turned aside.//

Sheng Wang was startled awake by the commotion on the stairs the next day.
Jiang Tian had already gotten out from the blanket, and sat at the edge of the bed, frowning as he listened to the noise outside. He felt for his phone and checked the time. He lowered his voice, “When are they returning?”

Sheng Wang was still trapped in the grogginess from opening his eyes, and his mind was blank for a few seconds before he understood that Jiang Tian was asking about Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Ou. “Thursday, I thought.”
His throat was terribly hoarse. After he spoke, he gulped two mouthfuls of water from the glass by the head of the bed, and then he froze, the water almost spilling out..
The voices downstairs weren't quite clear, but he could still tell: it was indeed Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Ou.
“Why are they back already?!” Sheng Wang shot up straight, combed his hair with his fingers and then hurried downstairs.

He did not even bother wearing slippers, and went to the door while walking barefooted on the carpet. He merely wanted to sneakily survey around, but there was someone unexpectedly in the bathroom opposite—
Auntie Sun was holding a mop. Seeing the way he stilled, she asked, “Did auntie accidentally wake you up?”
Sheng Wang was a little confused. “Auntie, why are you in this bathroom?”
“The tap downstairs stopped working.” After Auntie Sun said that, she asked in surprise, “Eh? Xiao-Tian? You slept here last night?”

Sheng Wang then recalled that there was someone behind him, and nearly closed the door on instinct. Fortunately, Jiang Tian was much more composed. He took a jacket, draped it over Sheng Wang’s shoulders, and slipped past him, coming out of the bedroom. He said to Auntie Sun, “We talked too late into the night.”
“Hm?” Sheng Wang paused for a moment before he agreed, “Mn.”
Those who were extremely familiar with Jiang Tian would know that it was abnormal for him to bother explaining with this many words. Luckily, Auntie Sun did not actually see him every day, and didn’t know him well enough to tell that something was amiss. As for Sheng Wang, he was always half a beat behind every time he just woke up, it could not be anymore normal for Auntie Sun.
