Extra 7: Feng & Chu Part 1
"This is my candy, you can have it." With a smile on his face, the boy put a blue candy into his palm.
That was the first gift someone gave him.
He remembered it for a long time.
Chu Haoyi was walking on the street, he exhaled, and white mist appeared in front of his eyes.
Los Angeles winters were as cold as ever.
He walked through the narrow path, and the dilapidated staircase appeared in front of his eyes. The small room on the upper floor was his shelter.
The landlord was an old lady of Chinese origin. Her son died early, and she managed to bring up her grandson. She almost went broke sending her grandson to a private school. When her grandson grew up, he joined a securities company and took her away.
Walking up the stairs slowly, Chu Haoyi opened the dilapidated wooden door, who would have thought that there was such a place in Los Angeles.
Poor, dirty, full of sewage and bacteria.
The house was very clean and he cleaned it every day.
Before he was eight years old, he didn't know that he had a father. At that time, he was still in China and lived with his mother.
His mother was a very gentle and kind person. As far as he could remember, he had never seen his mother quarrel with anyone. And because of her good temper, she was always bullied. It was from that time that Chu Haoyi developed a fiery temper.
If he was not fierce enough, others would bully the single mother and child pair even more.
When he was eight years old, his mother died of illness. She was lying on the hospital bed, and she was still looking at the door when she died. Maybe she was worried that after she died, only Chu Haoyi would be left alone. How would he survive?
It was then that Chu Haoyi realized that he was not without a father.
He had a father.
But he was hostile and unfamiliar with this father.
It turned out that he was the illegitimate son of the Chu family, and his father was already in his fifties, but had only two daughters with his wife when he lost his fertility due to an accident. The Chu family was an old-fashioned family, and only sons could be the heirs.
But Mrs. Chu was unwilling to accept him into the family, and his father seemed to be worried that his wife would do something to the illegitimate son, so he was fostered at a friend's house.
——He was like a ball, being kicked from one place to another.
No one liked him.
In order to protect his safety, Mr. Chu didn't even reveal to anyone that he was his son, and no one knew that he would actually be the heir of the Chu family in the future.
No matter which house he went to, he was greeted with cold eyes and cynicism.
He grew up in such an environment.
But living under someone else's roof didn't make him restrain his temper. He was like a hedgehog, always using the thorns all over his body to protect himself.
Until someone extended a friendly hand to him.
It was a little boy like an angel, and he gave Chu Haoyi the candy he got for "free".
Chu Haoyi also knew the status of this little boy in his family, he was ostracized by his cousins, and was not valued by the elders.
When he was picked up, Chu Haoyi said to him: "When I grow up, I will protect you."
He always remembered that promise.
Until now.
"Young Master Chu, the plane ticket has already been bought, you can go directly to the airport when the time comes."
Someone called and told him so.
Chu Haoyi recognized the other's voice, it was his father's secretary.
Standing in the dilapidated small room, Chu Haoyi agreed.
He didn't know how much Mr. Chu gave him every year, maybe a lot, maybe very little, because no matter how much money he gave him, it couldn't reach him, always blocked by Mrs. Chu.
But he didn't care.
When he first arrived in Los Angeles, he couldn't even speak English.
Later, he went to work in a Chinese restaurant and slowly learned English. Fortunately, Mr. Chu found and paid for his school and tuition fees, otherwise he might not even be able to study.
He knew Mrs. Chu hated him and his mother.
She also had a position to hate them.
Nor did his mother tell him anything about his father.
But Chu Haoyi knew that no matter what the truth was, it didn't matter. It didn't matter whether his mother was coerced, or whether she had an affair with his father because of love. When a person died, everything in the past would be reduced to ashes.
He shouldered the crime of being an illegitimate child and spent a troubled childhood.
The only warmth and light came from a boy about his age.
After returning to China, Chu Haoyi quickly made his way into the upper class.
But these people flattered him and looked down on him at the same time.
After he finally got his footing, he got in touch with the only ray of light in his life.
Su Shiqing was still the same, pure, lively, always with a smile on his face. He was like a bouquet of flowers in the morning, petals still with drops of dew, trembling and unfurling, making people happy because of his blooming.
Chu Haoyi felt that he was in love with him.
But Su Shiqing already had a lover, and he was so loyal, seeming as of he could almost sacrifice everything for his lover, making Chu Haoyi jealous, but at the same time he was jealous, he was even more gratified. The person he fell in love with was like this, steadfast, sincere, and unique.
Except for his lover, his eyes would not rest on anyone else.
Unmoved by any outside influences.
But misfortunes always happen quickly.
Su Shiqing disappeared, and when Chu Haoyi arrived, Su Shiqing had already been beaten badly.
He didn't even have time to punish the instigator, taking Su Shiqing to the hospital immediately.
Turned out it was not as serious as it had appeared, just a broken leg, and though he would have a limp, it wouldn't be noticeable if he didn't walk fast or run.
But even so, Su Shiqing became lame in the leg.
Then, Su Shiqing moved into his house.
Every time Chu Haoyi chatted with Su Shiqing, Su Shiqing would talk to him about his past with Qin Yue.
It was a very beautiful story. Su Shiqing always had a gentle smile on his face when he mentioned Qin Yue.
Slowly, Chu Haoyi changed from being jealous of Qin Yue to being envious.
He knew Su Shiqing, Su Shiqing was not a fickle person, and he would not be promiscuous like Mr. Chu. Whoever he loved, he would love that person from the beginning to the end.
This kind of feeling made him yearn, and he also hoped that he could meet such a person.
The path of life was changed in one night.
He took Su Shiqing to a banquet, and he was surrounded by people.
When he finally found Su Shiqing, he found that Su Shiqing was blocking someone's car.
The man had the air of a rogue, and with a smile on his face, he sat in the car, looking at Su Shiqing like he was a clown, deep impatience clear in his tone.
He got into a fight with that man, then Su Shiqing left, and then…..he went drinking with that man.
"You guys have known each other since childhood?" Feng Anyan was an extroverted and overly friendly guy.
After Chu Haoyi was warmly received by the other, his anger dissipated. There was a glass of mixed cocktail in front of him. In fact, he didn't like drinking, and it was easy for drinking to lead to trouble. But for some reason, seeing that the other was drinking happily, he also started to drink.
Probably because he drank too much alcohol, Chu Haoyi felt his tongue loosen and began to talk more, and with Feng Anyan being naturally loquacious, the two of them actually chatted back and forth.
"I'm not interested in him at all!" Feng Anyan swore, "He's not my type!"
Chu Haoyi glared at him: "What's wrong with him?"
"He is the best person I have ever met." Chu Haoyi added in a low voice, "The person who treated me the best."
No one had ever given him anything, and did not expect anything in return.
Only Su Shiqing.
Feng Anyan looked at him, and suddenly realized: "So it turns out you don't actually like him."
Chu Haoyi: "Why don't I like him?"
Feng Anyan looked like a veteran in love and said: "When you face him, does your heart beat faster and you feel like possessing him as your own?"
Chu Haoyi: "I'm not that selfish, I just want him to live well, I don't care who his lover is, whether he loves me or not."
Just listen to what he was saying, even he was almost moved by it.
Feng Anyan sighed: "Buddy, love is exclusive and possessive, not just romantic love, but any relationship, including friendship, it is the same when it reaches the extreme."
Chu Haoyi looked at him, not understanding.
They chatted a lot, and Chu Haoyi unexpectedly discovered that he and Feng Anyan had a lot in common.
For example, they both like to watch the Premier League, rugby games and wrestling. They talked about their favorite professional players and the most hated professional players.
At the end, Chu Haoyi was a little drunk.
He stood up a little staggeringly: "I'm going back."
Feng Anyan supported him: "Just get a room upstairs, it's so late."
Chu Haoyi really felt dizzy, he had never drank so much before, so he followed Feng Anyan's arrangement and got a room in the hotel above the bar.
After opening the room, Chu Haoyi lay on his back on the bed, wanting to sleep.
But Feng Anyan didn't leave.
Feng Anyan stood at the door and asked him: "Do you want to try with me? My skills are very good."
Chu Haoyi looked at him.
At this moment, Chu Haoyi's gaze was quite sober.
He looked at Feng Anyan, and Feng Anyan's appearance was indeed outstanding, with a pair of smiling eyes.
Chu Haoyi looked at him quietly and silently.
Feng Anyan walked towards him step by step.
Their lips touched, the kiss was not gentle, but like two large beasts biting each other, and soon the corners of Chu Haoyi's and Feng Anyan's lips were stained with blood.
The person in front of him was not Su Shiqing.
So Chu Haoyi didn't need to care about being gentle, and he didn't have to worry about breaking the other. The violent side of him swallowed him up like a fierce storm.
Too bad they didn't make it to the end.
The two gasped heavily, staring at each other.
Feng Anyan: "I only top."
Chu Haoyi: "Me too."
Feng Anyan covered his eyes with his hand, and lay on his back on the bed like Chu Haoyi, his chest rising and falling: "What the hell."
They didn't make it to the end that night, but they had already done everything else. Except for the last step, they basically explored every inch of each other's body.
For Chu Haoyi, being so close to someone was a novelty.
He was almost obsessed with the feeling.
He liked the touch of the skin, and when their arms touched each other, Chu Haoyi's heart felt like he had been electrocuted.
He also liked the feeling of Feng Anyan's lips touching his skin.
When he got up in the morning, Chu Haoyi asked Feng Anyan: "Can we meet again?"
Feng Anyan understood what he meant, and flashed him a rakish smile: "At your service any time, my king."
