After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 105
Luo Lingsheng was very reliable; even if he said something impulsively, he never thought about regretting it afterwards.
The Luo family had some contacts, and with Shi Yunnan’s excellent grades abroad, it was easy to arrange for him to be admitted to Imperial Capital No. 2 High School without violating the education regulations.
After confirming that he could study in China, Shi Yunnan made a special trip back abroad to pack up his school materials, luggage, and clothes.
It took nearly half a month to come and go.
As soon as Shi Yunnan got off the plane, he received a call from Wen Yibei.
“Hello, brother.”
“Shi Yunnan, did you hide something from me?”
Wen Yibei asked straight to the point, using his full name, with a hint of anger that wasn’t easy to appear at ordinary times.
Shi Yunnan was so scared that his heart thumped and the corners of his mouth softened, “Brother, no, what can I hide from you?”
“Don’t give me that! Shi Yunnan, why did No. 2 High School receive your school records?”
“…”
Shi Yunnan was confused for two seconds, obviously not expecting the news to leak out from somewhere.
He waited for his checked luggage and walked towards the airport exit while pushing it, saying, “Brother, how do you know? Actually, I, I just switched back to studying and didn’t give up my studies.”
Wen Yibei didn’t understand: “If you study well abroad, it’s fine to go to college according to your exam results. You…”
Shi Yunnan hesitated for a while, knowing that some things cannot be avoided, and asked, “Brother, the Shi family has not given me tuition and living expenses for a long time, and now that I am an adult, they are even less likely to care about me.”
“…”
Wen Yibei on the other end of the phone was silent. His slightly heavier breath was enough to show his anger that was beginning to emerge.
“Don’t talk about asking grandpa and uncle to support me. Going to university abroad costs money. You will need to learn music after that. If the Wens pay any more attention to me, the elders are going to have conflicts.”
At that time, maybe Wen Chenglang will look down upon Wen Yibei even more.
“Yunnan.” Wen Yibei was distressed.
“Brother, you followed the Wen family back then, and I chose to stay in the Shi family. This is the life path chosen between us brothers, so you don’t have to worry about me…”
Shi Yunnan told Wen Yibei everything he had already planned: “I just want to change my environment and continue my studies, not give up my studies. I have such a smart head; where can I not get good grades? ”
Wen Yibei hesitated before speaking, “Have you really decided?”
“Yes, don’t worry, next year I will definitely show you the admission letter from a prestigious university.” Shi Yunnan got into the car, looking not half dejected.
Even though half a month had passed, he still felt that he had made a fortune by staying at Luo Lingsheng’s home because of the school.
Just wait and see.
In addition to the admission notice next year, maybe he can even catch a boyfriend.
Wen Yibei took a step back, “Yunnan, I will deposit money into your card regularly, and I will find a way to make up for the living expenses that the Shi family deduct from you.”
“Brother, I don’t need…”
“You are my younger brother. I understand your temperament. If you don’t want to rely on the elders in your family when you’re already an adult, then don’t rely on them. However, since our mother gave birth to us, we must always assist one another.”
Shi Yunnan’s heart warmed, and he finally agreed, “Okay, but you don’t have to suffer yourself.”
Wen Yibei responded with a smile, “I know. Many restaurants abroad will find part-time performers, and I also plan to audition for an orchestra position. There’s always a way to save money.”
Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei chatted for nearly forty minutes, and he didn’t hang up the phone until he reached the downstairs of Luo Lingsheng’s residence.
Shi Yunnan entered the electronic password he learned from Luo Lingsheng, but it unexpectedly showed “wrong password.” He tried to enter from both sides again, but he still could not open the door smoothly.
“…”
Shi Yunnan frowned and took out his mobile phone, just about to call Luo Lingsheng.
— 4:30 PM.
The time displayed on the phone screen came into view.
Shi Yunnan thought for a while and had no choice but to put down the phone, saying, “Forget it; what if he’s busy? Let’s not bother him.”
Anyway, in another hour, Luo Lingsheng will get off work, so it’s okay to wait.
…
Luo Lingsheng worked overtime a little late today and returned home at eight o’clock. His eyes were unconsciously attracted by the figure on the ground.
Shi Yunnan flattened the small suitcase and used it as a chair, and the big suitcase was used as a table to rest on his stomach, holding a backpack in his arms.
He really fell asleep, with a few red marks on his face from being pressed by the suitcase.
He looked so pitiful and cute.
Luo Lingsheng chuckled, approached, and gently pinched his cheek, but then took advantage of the other party’s awakening to seriously pat his shoulder, “Shi Yunnan?”
“Umm……”
Shi Yunnan rubbed his eyes in bewilderment and looked up to see the person in front of him clearly, “Luo Lingsheng, are you back?”
“Yeah, when did you come back?”
“After four o’clock, I can’t open the door; has the electronic lock been changed?” Shi Yunnan’s voice was still a little weak just after waking up.
“The system of the electronic lock was upgraded two days ago.” Luo Lingsheng unlocked it with his fingerprint and asked again, “Aren’t you going to call me?”
Shi Yunnan endured his numb legs to get up and approached Luo Lingsheng obediently, “I’m afraid you’re busy, I was going to call you after work, but I actually fell asleep…”
Each nearly twenty-hour-long flight was a torture for him who was a very light sleeper, so it was easy for him to fall asleep at the end of a long flight.
Luo Lingsheng entered the key into the electronic lock and then said to Shi Yunnan, “Come on, enter your fingerprint; it will be more convenient for you to enter and exit alone in the future.”
When Shi Yunnan heard this, there was a gleam of joy in his eyes, “Ah? Oh.”
Luo Lingsheng captured his emotions and asked, “What are you smiling at?”
“nothing.”
Shi Yunnan happily entered his fingerprints and murmured vaguely and softly, “I feel like I’ve become one of the masters of this house.”
Luo Lingsheng pretended not to hear him, but his eyes became inadvertently softer.
The two entered the house together.
Luo Lingsheng saw Shi Yunnan’s large and small suitcases and said, “Go back to the guest bedroom and unpack your things. I didn’t know you came back early. Do you want simple pasta tonight?”
Shi Yunnan was just so hungry that when he heard Luo Lingsheng was willing to feed him, he immediately nodded and said, “Yeah, I can eat anything. I’m not picky.”
Luo Lingsheng smiled vaguely and replied, “That’s good to hear. I have to break my fingers to calculate the amount of your breakfast and dinner with the thousand you pay me.”
Shi Yunnan, who benefited from this good bargain, laughed, “Then I don’t care; it’s agreed to include food and lodging; it’s too late for you to regret it now.”
After speaking, he slipped into his own guest bedroom with his two suitcases.
Luo Lingsheng looked away from Shi Yunnan’s back and took the initiative to enter the kitchen to prepare a simple dinner for the two of them.
…
When Shi Yunnan simply tidied up his clothes, Luo Lingsheng was already done in the kitchen.
The two quickly settled the dinner and filled their stomachs.
Although Shi Yunnan lived in Luo Lingsheng’s house for less than a week before going abroad to go through the formalities, the tacit understanding between the two seemed to be innate, and they were determined not to take up each other’s personal space when it was time for business.
After dinner, Shi Yunnan offered to wash the dishes while Luo Lingsheng returned to the bedroom with his work documents.
Shi Yunnan, who had finished the chore, searched online for a part-time summer job nearby until he was pulled back to attention by a thunderstorm outside his window.
“Forget it; let’s do it tomorrow.”
He put down his mobile phone with only 10% battery remaining, picked up his change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
The weather in midsummer is always changing; thunderstorms always come frequently, and the violent wind and rain pound on the doors and windows without stopping.
Luo Lingsheng, who was working overtime, was a little depressed by the noise, so he temporarily stopped his work and turned off his computer.
He had just picked up his coffee when suddenly there was a “pop” and the light source in the entire room suddenly went out.
“…”
Luo Lingsheng was startled, and then he used his phone flashlight to shine his way to the entrance in order to check the main power supply equipment.
No trip, but still no power.
Luo Lingsheng was a little surprised by the unprecedented ‘power outage’ situation. He was just about to pick up his mobile phone to call the property management when he suddenly heard a dull and heavy voice.
Luo Lingsheng turned around and walked back, remembering Shi Yunnan, who was also at home. “Shi Yunnan?”
“…Luo, Luo Lingsheng.”
A shivering response came from the bathroom.
Luo Lingsheng quickly realized that something was wrong. He held the bathroom door handle and pressed it, but the door was locked from the inside, “Shi Yunnan, what’s wrong with you?”
“Luo Lingsheng, you, you help me! It’s too dark in the bathroom, I, I can’t get up…”
Shi Yunnan’s frightened cry instantly made Luo Lingsheng’s heartstrings tense.
“Are you at the door?”
“No.”
Luo Lingsheng confirmed Shi Yunnan’s position and kicked the door with all his strength. He knew that he had broken the lock and quickly walked in.
Using the faint light from the phone’s front light, Luo Lingsheng finally found Shi Yunnan’s figure.
At this moment, Shi Yunnan was sitting huddled outside the glass door of the shower area, the fear in his eyes like a sea tide sweeping towards Luo Lingsheng. His exposed calf had a bloodstain on it, which seemed to have just been cut.
Even under the dim light, he could still see Shi Yunnan’s abnormal, bloodless face.
“Did you fall down just now?” Luo Lingsheng approached him and squatted down, “Can you still stand up?”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Yunnan suddenly slammed into his arms with all his strength, his teeth trembling uncontrollably, “Luo Lingsheng!”
“…”
Luo Lingsheng felt the completely abnormal shortness of breath and trembling of the person in his arms.
Is Shi Yunnan afraid of the dark?
Or is it claustrophobia?
At the moment when guessing just took shape, Shi Yunnan in his arms tightened his grip again, as if he was afraid that he would be left behind at this moment, “I’m sorry, it’s too, too dark, I…”
“I know; don’t be afraid.”
Luo Lingsheng wrapped his arms around Shi Yunnan and brought the phone’s light source closer to him with the other, “Can you see clearly? I’m here; it’s fine.”
Shi Yunnan didn’t answer, but held Luo Lingsheng firmly; his whole body was still shivering unnaturally.
Not long ago, he had just finished taking a shower, and before he stepped out of the glass cubicle, the entire bathroom plunged into darkness.
The memory of being bullied by foreign classmates and imprisoned in a dark storage room when he was young came to his mind, causing Shi Yunnan to fall into an uncontrollable instinctive panic.
Shi Yunnan fumbled for the bathrobe and put it on. He originally planned to go out of the bathroom to find Luo Lingsheng, but the bottom of his feet suddenly slipped and he fell down heavily.
His calf was knocked on the edge of the locker near the floor, and the sharp pain that came from the cut made Shi Yunnan’s situation even worse. The moment he was about to lose his breath, he almost thought he was going to die in this place.
“Shi Yunnan, look at me.” Luo Lingsheng reached out and patted Shi Yunnan’s back, repeating his soothing voice, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Shi Yunnan grasped his life-saving straw in the dark, and his thoughts on the verge of collapse finally got some relief. His eyes were flushed, and he tried to suppress his fear, asking, “How, how did the power suddenly go out?”
“I don’t know what’s going on; I’ll take you out first.”
At this moment, Luo Lingsheng didn’t force Shi Yunnan to get up and leave. He simply picked up the other party and took him back to his room.
…
Shi Yunnan touched the relatively soft bed sheet, and coupled with the continuous light from the mobile phone, he finally regained his sanity, “…Luo Lingsheng, my leg hurts a bit.”
Luo Lingsheng squatted and kneeled by the bed, frowned, and checked the scratch on his calf—the wound was not deep, but the bleeding looked quite serious and had to be stopped somehow.
Luo Lingsheng explained, “Sit still and don’t move; I’ll go to the kitchen to get the first aid kit.”
“No need!” Shi Yunnan screamed in fear.
He subconsciously grabbed his clothes and choked out a sob, “Can you not go yet? I, I don’t want to be alone.”
“No, the wound has to be treated.”
Luo Lingsheng verbally said no, but in fact, he gently slipped the phone into Shi Yunnan’s hand, and his slightly hot palm patted the side of his neck twice, making the comforting intention more obvious.
“Don’t be afraid; I’ll be back in half a minute, okay?”
“…”
Shi Yunnan took a deep breath and reluctantly nodded.
Intermittent light was also provided by lightning and thunder. After all, Luo Lingsheng was walking around his own house, so he quickly got back the spare first aid kit.
When Shi Yunnan saw his figure again, his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Luo Lingsheng instructed in a low voice, “Shine the phone light over here. I’ll give you a simple treatment first. It may hurt a little, so bear with it.”
Shi Yunnan responded in a subtle way and obeyed the instructions.
Five minutes later, the wound was treated.
“Okay.” Luo Lingsheng slowly lifted his head, and his eyes instantly froze.
Just now, because of the urgency of the situation, he didn’t pay any attention at all. Shi Yunnan’s bathrobe was actually loose and half exposed, and there were still a few drops of water that were about to fall off.
The skin that was normally hidden in clothes was delicate and fair like no other. The fairness was flushed with red at the moment, possibly due to being soaked in warm water or to excessive tension.
A trace of an inappropriate impulse flashed through Luo Lingsheng’s mind. He gritted his teeth and quickly closed and fastened Shi Yunnan’s open bathrobe. “Are you feeling better? Would you like some water?”
Shi Yunan didn’t notice the tension in his voice at all. He asked, “When will the power come back?”
“I don’t know; I’ll ask.”
Luo Lingsheng withdrew his phone, and before he could send a message to the property manager, he saw an emergency notice in the owners’ group.
“There is a problem with the main electrical generator downstairs. The maintenance personnel are rushing to fix it, so it’s not certain when the power will come back.” Luo Lingsheng read out the message he received and looked at the time: “It’s past ten o’clock; go straight to bed.”
When Shi Yunnan heard the bad news, his breath trembled, “Luo Lingsheng, I… can I stay in your room for now? I’ll just sit on a chair, and I won’t disturb your rest.”
“If the power’s back, I’ll go back next door.”
Letting him go back to sleep alone in the dark room next door was simply an impossible task.
If he could stay here, at least he knew that Luo Lingsheng was by his side.
Luo Lingsheng’s eyes changed slightly, and he simply lifted Shi Yunnan into the air and moved him from the end of the bed to the head of the bed. “Sleep in my room tonight; I won’t do anything to you; two men sleeping together, you’re not afraid of losing out, right?”
“…”
Shi Yunnan didn’t speak, but he didn’t resist Luo Lingsheng’s consideration at all.
The two lay down on the bed under a thin blanket.
Shi Yunnan felt an unprecedented subtle aura, partly because of the fear that hadn’t dissipated and partly because of the natural heartbeat, and he carefully moved sideways to the side of Luo Lingsheng.
Luo Lingsheng could detect Shi Yunnan’s approach and suddenly asked, “What are you doing?”
The mobile phone was still placed by his bedside, temporarily serving as a desk lamp.
Their eyes met in the dim light.
Shi Yunnan, who was caught on the spot, felt a little heat on his cheeks. The crying sound in his soft voice hadn’t subsided completely, “I want to get closer to you anyway; I’m not afraid of losing out.”
Luo Lingsheng spilled out a very faint laugh and reached out to wrap his hand around Shi Yunnan and bring him into his arms, asking, “Is this close enough?”
“…”
The sexy and seductive voice echoed in Shi Yunnan’s ear, inexplicably extending another kind of tension.
This is too close for him to sleep.
“Because you are still young and afraid of the dark, let’s sleep like this first tonight.”
Luo Lingsheng’s fingertips seemingly rubbed against Shi Yunnan’s bathrobe, and his low voice entered his ears.
“Aren’t you tired after a long flight? Try to close your eyes and rest. It’s all the same when you close your eyes. If you turn on the light of your mobile phone, I won’t leave.”
Shi Yunnan grabbed the corner of the other party’s nightgown without any trace, and his thoughts moved slightly, “Well, good night.”
“Good night.”
Shi Yunnan originally thought that it would be difficult for him to fall asleep in such an environment, but Luo Lingsheng’s embrace seemed to have its own magic power, and he actually fell asleep unconsciously.
The time unknowingly flew by.
Just when Shi Yunnan was breathing steadily and was about to fall asleep, the lights in the room suddenly returned to brightness.
Luo Lingsheng reacted in a second, quickly picked up the remote control beside the pillow, and turned the light off to make the bedroom dark again.
Shi Yunnan in his arms was extremely sleepy, and it took several beats before he babbled, “…Is the power back?”
“No, it’s still dark.”
Luo Lingsheng slightly tightened his arms around him while coaxing in a low voice, “Go on sleeping.”
