Whilst He Tian stomped to the 7-Eleven near He Cheng's building and bought a pack of cigarettes, Jian Yi floated to the 7-Eleven nearest his own complex in a daze.  He was on a mission to buy Zhan Zheng Xi something nice, to make up for the fact that he had been deflowered this afternoon, thoroughly. 

    To quote Xixi "My ass hurts fuckwit!", which he said as he threw a pillow at Jian Yi's retreating back.

    Hence Yi's trip to the store to see if he could get anything to make his boyfriend feel more comfortable.

    When he got to the shop, Jian Yi wandered around the aisles picking up milk pudding, energy replenishing drinks, lower back heat compresses, ice, rice porridge, turmeric tonics, pain killers, the latest manhua Xixi loved to read and a ton of other stuff he thought might be useful.  He bought his mismatch of items and stuffed them into a white bag, before saying goodbye to the nice lady at the till who knew him well.

    Walking out into the early evening, there was a brilliant sunset which made his eyes water with emotion.  He was a man, he was finally a man!  A virgin no more.  Wow he literally felt like he was floating on air, so thankful and humbled that his grumpy best friend held such deep affection for Jian Yi to let him make love to Xi, shit he was so lucky!

    Grinning like a fool, he slowly meandered his way home in the cold autumn evening, the thick trees which lined the path to his house always freaked him out in the winter, they were so dark and looked like they hid a werewolf, ghost or invading huns.  It normally didn't stop Zhan Xi and him from making out in the darkness on the way to his mom's house though.  Good cover for kissing, a quick hand job, hehehehehehe.  Okay he might be too giddy, calm down self!

    The closer he got to this own building the quieter it became, because their house was the last in the block there weren't many buildings surrounding his.  That's the way his mom liked it. 

    Jian Yi nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw a shadow standing at attention near the entrance way.

    "Brother Qiu, you scared me!"  Yi laughed at his own skittishness.

    "Young master, Mrs Jian sent me to get you.  Her brother is sick and she's gone to hospital to attend to him.  She wants you to follow me to where she is."  Some strange dude in a dark suit walked out of the shadows and raised his hand in welcome.  He was tall, good looking, and had a sympathetic look on his face.

    "Who the hell are you?  Where is Brother Qiu?"  Jian Yi had not existed for 17 years without some danger to his life.  His father had, on occasion, tried to kidnap him.  Other strangers, with guns or knives, had also tried to take him for the money they thought he would bring.  He was used to the whole 'follow me, I mean you no harm!" routine.

    "Brother Qiu is already there, he drove your mother to her brother's side immediately.  Quickly, he is very sick and she wants you to pay your respects before he passes away.  I packed an overnight bag for your mother, she asked me to get her things."  The man stood with a holdall which was very familiar to Jian Yi, it was his mother's bag.  It normally stayed in her wardrobe.  To get it you needed access to this house, which very few had.

    So his mother trusted this dude to go into her bedroom to pack an overnight bag?  Shit, he must be the genuine article.

    "My mother never mentioned a brother."  Jian Yi dropped his shopping onto the concrete near the entrance and nodded.  Soon they hurried off down the dark path, running towards a light grey Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which was parked on the road.  His mother's man unlocked the car with a click of his fob and opened the back door for Jian Yi.  Once his passenger had been safely encompassed in the plush seats, the driver gave his mother's holdall to Jian Yi to baby sit in the back, then he started the expensive car until the engine purred and then they tore off towards the hospital at mach three speed.
