A child that takes the initiative to admit his mistake is a good child.
Shen Tong had this idea. But upon seeing that Kong Baiji didn’t respond, and still had a gloomy expression, Shen Tong couldn’t help feeling a bit wronged, and his large eyes grew a bit dim.
Kong Baiji, who really couldn’t bear seeing an aggrieved expression on his little brother, immediately began to feel softhearted, then placed his hand on the other party’s hand, which clung to his sleeve, and affectionately called his childhood name: “Baby, be good. I’m really alright. Brother will change clothes first then follow you out.”
People really rely on clothes. Kong Baiji’s temperament completely changed because of changing into this frivolous dark floral blazer. His previous cold image became much more vibrant and fresh, in addition to the added indescribable charm. Standing beside Shen Tong, simply made them lethal to both men and women of all ages, that several shop attendants were even staring at them in awe.
An older store manager couldn’t resist from repeatedly praising mother Shen: “The two princes of your family are really handsome. When they go out, who knows how many young girls they will be charm…….”
Mother Shen felt much happier listening to this, than when listening to them praise her. Her mood was so pleasant, that she bought a large amount of men’s clothing, only after doing this did she start choosing items for herself from one branded store to another.
The woman’s clothing has way more categories than men, not to mention other accessories such as bags and shoes. It was also more time-consuming to chose as well. But every time a woman buys something they like, their happiness level would be as much as if they were in a loving relationship. But Shen Tong and Kong Baiji were completely unable to understand this feeling at all. Fortunately, mother Shen had already satisfied her desire to show off her sons. So, she let her sons move freely with a wave of her hand. They would just go home together later.
So, the slightly thirsty Shen Tong decided to go buy something to drink. But shrank his neck in his clothes when he stepped out the shopping center, “So cold.”
Today was a very sunny afternoon, so, the temperature outside was still not too low. But the shopping center’s central heating was on, so, the difference in temperature will inevitably be discerned after going out. The street was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the pleasant atmosphere of the Chinese New Year’s eve in all corners. Kong Baiji wrapped a scarf around Shen Tong’s neck, then placed the other person’s hand in his pocket, and asked: “There’s a milk tea shop over there. Do you want to go?”
Shen Tong turned his head to look and found that there really was one across the street. His eyes immediately brightened, as he nodded very enthusiastically: “Yeah, let’s go!”
Kong Baiji had also correctly a.s.sumed that young people were usually fond of drinking milk tea, which was why he asked this. Having said that, he only drinks, his fixed preference of coffee, at most all the time. So, he had never set foot in such places like this. Although the area of this milk tea shop can’t be regarded as too s.p.a.cious, but the decorations were very exquisite. The shop was currently having a special event for the newly released products, and most people sitting inside were young couples.
So, the waitress’ thoughts immediately turned crooked the instant she laid her eyes on Kong Baiji and Shen Tong.
The reason for this was really due to the very focused and careful att.i.tude of the man towards the youth. Moreover, the two of them really didn’t look like brothers at all. So, not only did she consider them as a couple, but she ever recommended the ‘Couple’s cup’ with a big smile: “This is a new product we just released, it tastes very good. Two cups for the price of one, would you like to try it?”
After hearing this, Shen Tong felt that it was very cost-effective, so he nodded, and added two more small desserts, then smiled back politely to the waitress: “Please make it a bit quicker, thank you.”
The waitress immediately became a bit enthusiastic because of this slight smile, but took a slight step back under Kong Baiji’s cold expression. The pair of brothers sat face-to-face by the window. The shop’s indoor temperature was very comfortable as well. It was only at this time, did Shen Tong take the time, to check on his mobile phone. After sliding to unlock, a dozen or more unread short messages were instantly shown in the inbox, and all came from the same number:
–Has baby reached home?
–Call me when you arrive.
–Baby, remember to eat on time.
–I know I was wrong, don’t be mad okay?
–Pay attention to me.
–Baby, notice me, ah.
–Why are you ignoring me?
–Notice me! Notice me!!
……
Shen Tong need not think, to know that this were all sent by Gu Qiange. Reading this made him somewhat speechless. Kong Baiji, who had always been looking at him, happened to suddenly speak at this time: “Is it from Gu Qiange?”
Shen Tong subconsciously nodded, then only reacted after nodding halfway, and rigidly changed to shake his head. He then bit his lip and somewhat haltingly said: “…no, it’s-, it’s my cla.s.smate……”
It’s a pity that he has absolutely no talent for lying. So, Kong Baiji was able to see through it with just a glance. But Kong Baiji didn’t expose him, but hummed in acknowledgement instead, then said: “Dad and mom will be going to the province tomorrow morning. You should go with me to the company tomorrow. You should know a bit of the company’s affairs after all, then have lunch with me at noon, okay?”
The great elder brother had already calmed down before leaving the shopping center. Since it was Gu Qiange, who had the evil intention to kidnap his younger brother, then he naturally had to use all methods on Gu Qiange, and mustn’t question his younger brother, to avoid pushing his younger brother farther away from him. He even figured, that since he and Shen Tong were not related by blood, so what Gu Qiange can do, he can too.
Shen Tong, who had just said a lie, immediately agreed obediently because of guilt: “Okay.”
A short while later, the milk tea and desserts were all served, only then did Shen Tong realize that the couple cups were actually stuck together, and their foreheads would have to touch if both of them were to drink at the same time. Shen Tong didn’t mind this, so he readily craned his neck and took a sip using the straw, then slightly narrowed his eyes because of the sweet and rich taste.
The youth’s flushed cheeks because of the hot steam, lovely curled lashes and lips, and misty eyes that were like a small animal, had unexpectedly made Kong Baiji’s desire to kiss him surge up once more.
