They each went back to their rooms, Mi Xiu changed into casual clothes, and was about to eat happily, but received a WeChat message from Yin Chang: "Dami, I'm sorry, I just asked Jun Ling, and he said he just wanted to spend tonight with me. Tomorrow we will invite you out for dinner alone."
Mi Xiu: "???"
On the twelfth floor of the hotel, Yin Chang's room.
Yin Chang, who had just sent a message to Mi Xiu, took the bottle opener, opened the wine and asked Shao Junling: "You and Mi Xiu also know each other, it's a rare birthday, why not celebrate it with multiple people?"
Shao Junling glanced at him: "Didn't you call someone else on your birthday?"
Yin Chang was blocked by him all of a sudden, he had no words to say, and said with a helpless smile: "Your birthday is the biggest, it's up to you."
The flowers and wine are ready, and the cake and candles have been placed on the tea table—the condition of the crew hotel is no better than that of a five-star hotel, and there is not even a serious dining table in the room, so they can only make do with the tea table. But the narrow space also shortens the distance between the two people. Sitting on the sofa with legs stretched out can touch each other's knees, it feels very warm.
When pouring wine for Shao Junling, Yin Chang subconsciously asked, "Have you ever drank before?"
Yin Chang himself has been drinking with Evan since he was sixteen, but like all adults with double standards, he forbids Shao Junling to touch alcohol before he becomes an adult. Shao Junling has always been obedient, at least within his line of sight, he doesn't drink at all. It's just that when boys reach a certain age, they will inevitably be curious about new things, and it's normal to make taboos occasionally. Thinking of what Luo Chuan said jokingly at the dinner table that day, Yin Chang was also very curious whether Shao Junling had secretly drunk behind his back.
"No." Shao Junling said.
Yin Chang seems to be quite satisfied with his younger brother's well-behaved, and at the same time deepened his desire to care for him: "This wine has a light taste and low alcohol content. It is suitable for people who are new to alcohol...Try it." Chang specially picked it for Shao Junling, and asked a friend to send it here from Haicheng in advance.
The tall glasses collided and made a crisp sound. Shao Junling frowned after taking a sip: "It's not good."
Yin Chang laughed: "If you don't like it, don't force it."
Shao Junling really put down his wine glass and stopped touching each other.
Yin Chang didn't feel sorry for the priceless wine, as if drinking it was just a ceremony to celebrate his younger brother's coming of age, and Shao Junling didn't drink it.
Yin Chang leaned on the sofa and sipped slowly, remembering what Mi Xiu said, and asked again: "Will you be bored if you stay in the room these days?"
Shao Junling: "It's okay."
Yin Chang smiled and said: "It's not good to be so homeless. I remember you used to go out for a run every day. Why are you so lazy after going to college?"
Shao Junling: "I do 500 push-ups in my room every day."
Yin Chang: "..."
Besides cake and wine, Yin Chang also asked Lu Lingjuan to order some food. But because the table is small, it is impossible to spread it out to eat one by one. Shao Junling found a lunch box in the bag, dug out some from each dish with a spoon, and put it in an empty lunch box.
"Besides, you will feel more at ease if I don't go out?" Shao Junling said.
Yin Chang was taken aback: "Huh?"
Shao Junling didn't explain, he handed the box containing the food to Yin Chang and said, "Eat something, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach."
Holding the lunch box, Yin Chang was still in a daze for Shao Junling's last sentence.
Wanting to hide such a good brother so that no one would see him, and also worried that he would be hurt—this was indeed his idea that Mi Xiu described as "perverted", but Yin Chang didn't understand why Shao Junling knew.
Looking up at Shao Junling's face in the glowing candlelight, that little guy back then had unknowingly grown into a handsome and handsome boy, not only understanding, but also caring for others in this way, Yin Chang felt a tingling warmth in his heart meaning.
He took two mouthfuls of rice, and suddenly thought of something, put down the lunch box, got up, went to the safe in the room, and took a velvet box the size of a palm.
Shao Junling caught a glimpse of the Siwenqi BG logo printed on the box, and when Yin Chang opened it, it turned out that there was a wristwatch inside.
"I'm not as smart as you, and I can program AI by myself, so I can only spend money on this kind of luxury..." Yin Chang looked at him with a smile and said, "Give it to me."
Shao Junling: "..."
Yin Chang grabbed his hand, put it on for him himself, rubbed his wrist bones and admired it: "It's very beautiful."
Shao Junling took a closer look, and was a little surprised.
The design of the watch is not exaggerated, the main reason is that the platinum case is inlaid with a ring of broken diamonds, the dial is starry sky blue with mica pattern, and the word 'Jun Ling' is engraved on the bottom of the center, highlighting the uniqueness of this watch.
Shao Junling remembers that Siwenqi BG was the first commercial endorsement that his brother took over. He also went to Switzerland with his brother to visit the watch factory. The rigorous and meticulous production process left a deep impression on him when he was young. A luxury watch is already expensive, and his brother gave it a custom-made one, which shows his intentions.
Seeing Shao Junling staring at his wrist, Yin Chang asked with a smile, "Do you like it?"
Shao Junling: "Yes."
Yin Chang's brows and eyes curved with a smile: "As long as you like it... happy adulthood."
"Thank you brother." Shao Junling was undoubtedly moved. Yin Chang's attentive and gentle expression when he put on the watch, in Shao Junling's eyes, it was as if his brother was putting on a promise ring for his beloved... Reminiscent of the night when Yin Chang was drunk Shao Junling's heart was about to jump out of what he said to himself, "I..."
"You don't need to thank me," Yin Chang interrupted his unspoken words, "Actually, there is one more thing that I haven't told you all this time, and I will wait until you become an adult."
Shao Junling's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yin Chang expectantly: "Huh?"
"You know that Dad left a large inheritance when he passed away, right? I didn't know that he planned to adopt you, so I transferred it to my name first. After I found out, I decided to give half of the property to you. Let Lawyer Wang make a property division certificate... But you were young at that time, I didn't tell you," Yin Chang looked at Shao Junling, his eyes were full of appreciation and approval, "but now that you have grown up, it's time to take away what belongs to you. Your part. When you have time to return to Haicheng, we will let Lawyer Wang handle it."
The light in Shao Junling's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I don't want it."
Yin Chang smiled nonchalantly: "Why not?"
Shao Junling's mood was extremely complicated, he felt that his lover had put on the "ring" for him just a second ago, and now he was about to separate from him.
"Why does it have to be so clear?" Shao Junling asked with his head down.
Yin Chang: "No, this should be part of what you deserve. If Dad knows, he will distribute it like this..."
"And then?" Shao Junling raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were a little cold, "You wish I could become an adult so that you can break up with me completely, right?"
Seeing that Shao Junling misunderstood, Yin Chang panicked. He hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that. You are so smart, I think these properties may become more valuable in your hands."
Shao Junling tilted his head: "Do you feel that money is hot in your hand?"
Yin Chang: "I didn't..."
Shao Junling nodded and said: "I remember, you told me eight years ago. When I become an adult, I have to be responsible for myself. I have to make my own decisions about things related to me. If I do something wrong, I will I bear the consequences of doing something wrong by myself. I am an adult and independent, you give me the money that should be given to me, and then you will no longer be responsible to me, is that what you mean?"
Yin Chang was tongue-tied, vaguely remembering that this happened, but that was before he knew Shao Junling's true origin, he felt that his younger brother was his responsibility, but it's different now... Moreover, he didn't expect Shao Junling at all He would repeat what he had said verbatim, and ask himself back in this seemingly aggressive way.
Shao Junling didn't give Yin Chang time to defend, and continued: "In that case, well, from now on, I don't want to be your younger brother anymore."
Yin Chang seemed to have been injected with a strong cooling agent, and the blood in his body dropped to freezing point: "What... what did you say?"
"I said I don't want to be your brother anymore." Shao Junling seemed to have made some important decision, and when he looked at Yin Chang again, his cold eyes were already on fire, "I want to be your boyfriend."
Yin Chang: "..."
Yin Chang felt that he was put into a pot of boiling water again, and it burned from the outside to the inside, and the rapid alternation of blood from cold to hot made his blood vessels all over his body tingle: "You, what nonsense are you talking about!? "
"If you care about blood relationship, I can tell you that I am not Uncle Yin's child at all..." At this moment, Shao Junling also changed his address to Yin Dong, "My biological father is a scumbag. When I was four years old, my mother Hacked him with a knife, then wiped his neck in front of me. She hated that man, so she also hated me."
When he said these words, Shao Junling's expression was like that of Shura Guisha, his eyes were bloodshot, but his tone was so cold that it seemed to condense the air around him.
Yin Chang tremblingly said: "You... remember?"
Shao Junling didn't doubt that Yin Chang knew his background: "Yes, I remember. I have never dared to tell you, just because I was afraid that you would reject me if you found out. No one likes the son of a murderer, but now..." He clenched his hands, " If this will be an obstacle for you to reject me, I'd rather you hate me first."
Yin Chang: "..."
Shao Junling: "I guess you once misunderstood that I was Uncle Yin's illegitimate son, but it was not. Uncle Yin had nothing to do with me. He adopted me either because I looked like him, or because he pitied me. I am grateful to him for giving gave me a new life, and thanked him for letting me meet you, but I am not qualified to share your money... "
Yin Chang's lips twitched: "Don't you know why he adopted you?"
Shao Junling asked back, "Isn't it to accompany you?"
Yin Chang shook his head, feeling extremely painful—"To accompany you", just these four words have become the heaviest burden in Yin Chang's heart.
He stood up and told Shao Junling the truth: "He is your uncle..."
Shao Junling was completely stunned: "Uncle?"
Yin Chang took a deep breath. In order to prevent Shao Junling from going further and further wrong, he had no choice but to tell the other party everything he knew, and he had to force himself to be ruthless: "Listen, Shao Junling, Yin Dong adopted you because you are His nephew, he doesn't want to see his only blood relative wandering outside. I took you home at first to fulfill my father's last wish, but as I get along with you, I have developed a deep love for you Family love, even if we are not blood brothers, we are still cousins... The so-called 'accompany me' is Yin Dong's intention to let you accept the responsibility imposed on you by your new family, but I don't need you to repay your favor at all, you should let it go!"
Shao Junling sat there in a daze, as if sentenced to death by his brother.
