Chapter 15
“Big Brother, drink water.”
“Big Brother, eat an orange.”
“Big Brother, this is tasty too.”
“Big Brother, shall I help you blow-dry your hair?”
Luo Shizhen was trying very hard to curry favor with his newly acknowledged “Big Brother.”
The junior high classmate who bragged about being the Big Brother’s favorite lackey had said:
As a lackey, you need to be observant. Pass food, pass drinks, pass cigarettes, and do things for the Big Brother.
However, smoking was bad for health, and secondhand smoke was harmful too, so Luo Shizhen only passed food and drinks, sharing the snacks he brought with Xiao Shan like offering treasures.
Xiao Shan’s sword-like thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed. His fierce eyes stared at Luo Shizhen in bewilderment:
“Do you have some kind of problem?”
Luo Shizhen answered honestly: “I just have a cold, no other illness.”
Xiao Shan’s eyebrows screwed up even tighter in displeasure. His whole body exuded a ferocious aura, looking like he was about to raise his fist and hit someone the next moment.
“Can’t understand human language? I said your brain has a problem!”
Luo Shizhen paused, not expecting this Big Brother to have such amazing eyesight.
He lowered his head in embarrassment and murmured, “Yes, there is a little bit. My grandma said my mom had a difficult birth with me, and I suffocated in her belly for too long, so my brain is a bit slow. Sometimes I can’t understand what others say…”
Afraid the Big Brother would dislike him, Luo Shizhen quickly raised his head and added after finishing.
“But I’m just a little slow to react. I can do everything others can do!”
Xiao Shan gritted his teeth, unable to endure it anymore. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the other’s collar, pulling him in front of him, revealing a extremely ferocious grin on his face.
“Kid, I don’t care if you’re really stupid or faking it. In front of Laozi, behave yourself! Stop acting!”
Luo Shizhen was confused. He felt he was behaving very well and was earnestly currying favor.
Because his collar was grabbed, his body instinctively leaned forward, obediently looking up, coming into close contact with the Big Brother’s burly physique with its distinct muscle lines and bronze color.
Especially that solid honey-colored chest full of raw power; it was almost sticking to his face.
Luo Shizhen marveled at the new Big Brother’s strong body once again.
He had no doubt that if the new Big Brother faced a wild boar, he could definitely defeat it easily.
Xiao Shan, being stared at by Luo Shizhen with worshipful, yearning, and burning eyes: “…”
He felt uncomfortable being stared at and shouted angrily, “What are you looking at!”
Luo Shizhen praised sincerely: “Big Brother, you are so handsome. Your pectoral muscles are so big.”
Xiao Shan: “…”
When Luo Shizhen spoke, because they were too close, his breath lightly sprayed onto Xiao Shan’s chest, inexplicably making Xiao Shan feel a bit hot.
Accustomed to not wearing a shirt after a shower and openly displaying his body, for the first time, he felt a bit uncomfortable under such an intense gaze.
He raised his fist to hit him, but even with the fist raised, Luo Shizhen remained dazed, showing absolutely no intention of dodging or fighting back. His face was still full of worship for him.
Xiao Shan couldn’t bring this fist down.
“Sick!”
He withdrew his hand and took a big step back as if avoiding some flood or wild beast.
Cursing and muttering, he grabbed a shirt and threw it on, turning his head to go back to the entertainment room.
But as soon as he turned around, he sensed Luo Shizhen following behind him. He paused and turned his head unhappily to look.
Luo Shizhen looked up at him with a face full of worship.
“Why are you following me!”
Luo Shizhen: “I’m waiting for you to order me to do things.”
veins almost popped on Xiao Shan’s forehead: “Don’t force me to beat you!”
Under his fierce gaze, Luo Shizhen shrank back, a bit aggrieved and bewildered:
“Big Brother, what did I do wrong? Why do you want to beat me?”
“Don’t call me Big Brother!”
“But you just said you wanted to take me as a lackey…”
“I don’t recognize it now! Heard that?”
“What did I do wrong, Big Brother? Why don’t you recognize me suddenly? Tell me, and I’ll correct it properly, okay?”
“Fuck!!!!!”
Xiao Shan held a bellyful of anger in his heart, wanting to vent it, but meeting Luo Shizhen’s cowering appearance, he inexplicably held it back.
He liked fighting, but bullying a fool wasn’t Xiao Shan’s style.
Xiao Shan turned his spearhead toward the other two roommates who had been watching the show.
“You two are here watching my joke, right?!!”
The fool couldn’t be beaten.
The two roommates could definitely be beaten.
Although the three were roommates, it was good if they said a few sentences a day. Usually, apart from sleeping time, they stayed in their own entertainment rooms or studies.
Now that these two both stayed, in Xiao Shan’s eyes, this was specifically waiting to see his joke.
Rong Nian rolled his eyes: “Who’s watching your joke? Can’t I breathe some fresh air here?”
Usually, if Xiao Shan picked a fight, he would either fight him or ignore him and go back to the entertainment room.
Today, he retorted verbally, but his body didn’t move an inch, obviously intending to continue watching.
Lu Qiujin maintained the appearance of a noble son with a smile on his lips and a calm demeanor:
“Don’t be so fierce to the new roommate. He recognized you as Big Brother; isn’t this a good thing? Aren’t you always fighting people everywhere, wanting others to be your lackeys?”
He raised an eyebrow: “Now there’s a lackey willing to follow you, isn’t it just fulfilling your wish? And I see Shizhen has a pretty good personality. Just let him follow you.”
Luo Shizhen followed honestly behind Xiao Shan. Hearing Lu Qiujin speak for him, he showed a small, grateful smile towards him.
Xiao Shan wasn’t in such a good mood. He was already stifled, and hearing this made him furious.
What he wanted was to use force to beat those who refused to submit until they submitted, enjoying the pleasure of conquest with his own hands.
How could there be someone like Luo Shizhen, who bowed down like he had no bones right from the start, and was so sticky.
He had never seen this kind of… this kind of…
Xiao Shan couldn’t think of an adjective for a moment, so he could only stop his thoughts randomly:
“You like him? Then let him follow you!”
Lu Qiujin just wanted to watch the fire from across the river, not draw the fire to himself.
He hadn’t figured out Luo Shizhen’s routine yet.
Like this, with Luo Shizhen dealing with Xiao Shan, he could observe slowly from the side and get a result.
He thought for a moment and said slowly, “He wants to do things. Just give him some things to do, it won’t hinder anything.”
Xiao Shan automatically interpreted this as Lu Qiujin suggesting he find some tiring and hard tasks to dump on Luo Shizhen.
When Luo Shizhen couldn’t take it anymore, of course, he wouldn’t pester him.
Even if Luo Shizhen could take it, he could pick faults in what the other did, using it as an excuse to make this guy scram.
Truly a plan fitting for a hypocrite like Lu Qiujin, both pretentious and insidious. But it was quite useful.
Xiao Shan glanced down at Luo Shizhen condescendingly:
“Luo Shizhen, right? My training room needs cleaning. Go clean it up for me.”
“All equipment must be lifted and wiped. Not a speck of dust allowed. Also, wash the clothes I threw in the bathroom. No washing machine allowed; I want you to hand wash them.”
This sounded like deliberate difficultness. Awakener training equipment was mostly heavy and large; it was almost impossible for one person to lift and clean them.
Not to mention, demanding Luo Shizhen hand wash clothes when there were clearly washing machines and dryers.
Xiao Shan crossed his arms. His buzz cut stood straight up, making him look a few degrees more unapproachable. He lifted his chin slightly, waiting for Luo Shizhen to refuse or make excuses.
Luo Shizhen’s eyes lit up instead.
Washing clothes?! This was his comfort zone!
As for cleaning, that was his specialty!
“Okay Big Brother, I’ll go do it right away!”
He was about to go work confidently, took a step, then stopped and looked back at Xiao Shan.
Xiao Shan thought he reacted and refused to do it. Just as a sarcastic curve rose on the corner of his mouth, he heard Luo Shizhen ask:
“Big Brother, which ones are your training room and bathroom?”
Xiao Shan: “…”
He could hardly maintain the arrogant expression on his face. With stiff arms, he pointed the direction for Luo Shizhen.
Luo Shizhen actually went happily.
Xiao Shan: “…”
He looked back at the two “normal” roommates in disbelief, even planning to find some resonance from them:
“No, is he sick? He agreed to even this?”
“Is he really that useless Purification user? Was the test wrong? Is he an Absorption user? You know, the niche kind that specifically pisses people off and absorbs their anger?”
Rong Nian was unhappy seeing Luo Shizhen actively currying favor with Xiao Shan. He hmphed and went back to his entertainment room.
Lu Qiujin looked thoughtfully at Rong Nian’s back, maintaining his smile at a standard arc:
“Let’s wait and see. If he’s pretending, he won’t be able to keep it up forever.”
Luo Shizhen didn’t know someone outside thought he was pretending. He worked happily, feeling dorm life was much better than he had imagined.
Although Rong Nian ignored people a bit, the roommate named Lu Qiujin had a very kind attitude.
He also recognized a Big Brother. The Big Brother looked very capable of fighting and had his favorite body type. He could cover him in the future.
He lifted the equipment and cleaned seriously, not letting go of a single speck of dust.
The heavy equipment didn’t affect Luo Shizhen, who was naturally strong. Even if some were exceptionally heavy, he could push them aside forcefully to clean the blind spots underneath.
Luo Shizhen cleaned fast and well, wiping even the cracks carefully with a rag.
After cleaning, he diligently went to wash clothes. After finishing the laundry, he gathered the clothes to hang them outside.
There was a large balcony outside the dorm. He had eyed it long ago, thinking it was an excellent place for drying clothes and airing quilts.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Shan sitting cross-legged on the bed playing games. Luo Shizhen passed by holding the clothes and greeted him cheerfully:
“Hello, Big Brother.”
Xiao Shan, who just lost a game: “…”
This kid really washed my clothes???
He stared at Luo Shizhen’s back in confusion, completely unable to understand how such a person could mix into the Awakeners.
However, this kid worked quite meticulously. When hanging clothes, he checked for wrinkles first, then hung them neatly on the hangers.
When hanging shirts, he pulled them flat.
When hanging pants, he hung them symmetrically.
When hanging jackets, he turned them inside out to dry.
When hanging underwear… wait, underwear?!!
Xiao Shan jumped up instantly: “Who told you to wash my underwear!!”
Luo Shizhen, seriously drying the large boxer briefs, asked in confusion: “Big Brother, you said to wash all the clothes in the bathroom.”
Xiao Shan choked. He had indeed said that just now.
The tall, muscular young man stepped forward in a stride and snatched his underwear back:
“Don’t wash my underwear in the future!”
Luo Shizhen looked at him with surprise: “Big Brother, you said ‘in the future.’ You accepted me!”
Xiao Shan: …At a time like this, he understands human language??
Luo Shizhen was still confessing passionately: “Big Brother, you are so good. I will definitely work hard following you in the future!”
“Just you want to work with me? Look at this!”
Xiao Shan raised his powerful arm full of explosive force and clenched his fist threateningly.
Looking at the arm Xiao Shan raised, Luo Shizhen’s eyes were dark and bright.
He actually wanted to touch it just now but was embarrassed to ask. Now that Big Brother took the initiative to let him look, it probably meant he could touch it, right?
Luo Shizhen, full of yearning, carefully held this muscular, strong arm with both hands, eyes full of desire:
“Big Brother, your arm is so firm, so much muscle. It looks very impressive. Can you teach me how to build this in the future?”
Xiao Shan, who was threatening Luo Shizhen: “…”
“You! I!”
Xiao Shan, who had always been arrogant and fought wherever he went, had his language system disrupted while his arm was gently held. He opened his mouth a few times but couldn’t say a complete sentence.
Finally, a thousand words merged into one sentence:
“Fuck!!!!”
