Moscow time, 4:50 PM.
The sky was overcast, and the melting snow dripped down, urging night to fall quickly. In these brief ten minutes, people call it the Blues.
In front of the bedroom's floor-to-ceiling windows, the heavy blackout curtains were half-drawn, just covering the foot of the bed, but not the entire room.
The room was quiet, save for the faint sound of water splashing, and the muffled sobs and cries that were half-hidden.
" Xie Jinghui, no..."
Shen Shuangjian gripped by two hands around the waist, trembling as he sat at the foot of the bed. His feet were on Xie Jinghui's kneeling legs, and even his disheveled long hair swayed pitifully and awkwardly with his trembling.
The culprit behind all this was kneeling before him, head bowed and leaning forward, her long, slender hands sinking tightly into the smooth, white flesh of his thighs.
Although he did such a thing, his expression was serious and devout, without a trace of frivolity.
"I don't want this anymore, please stop... bullying me, brother--!"
This short, urgent cry of "Brother!" was Shen Shuangjian overwhelmed and unable to break free.
He hoped that Shen Sixian would appear suddenly to stop Xie Jinghui when he couldn't take it anymore, just like before.
But at this moment, Shen Shuangjian that she had clearly turned to the wrong person.
At this moment, Xie Jinghui could not accept Shen Shuangjian calling out anyone other than himself.
Even if that person is his family, even if he only wants to seek his brother's protection, it's still not allowed.
" Zhizhi, who are you calling?"
Xie Jinghui's voice was hoarse and deep. He slowly raised his head, his dark eyes shining in the dim light, revealing the gaze of a ferocious beast.
"I... I want to find my brother. You've bullied me, I don't want to stay with you."
Shen Shuangjian struggled to back away, but failed because the other person's hands were tightly wrapped around his waist.
After struggling for a long time, all she could do was let her foot slip on Xie Jinghui's leg, but she herself didn't move an inch from where she was sitting.
"Is this considered bullying?"
Xie Jinghui leaned closer, but dared not kiss him. Instead, she held Shen Shuangjian's waist, forcing him to stay where he was and listen to her say these embarrassing and impudent words.
"She's Zhizhi being delicate, unable to distinguish between liking and disliking, or between feeling comfortable and sad."
"But it's okay, it's just that Zhizhi is too innocent and can't stand such things."
"But I didn't do anything worse. If I had, you would be crying and wanting to run away."
But unfortunately, they can't escape, and they can't climb far.
"Stop... stop talking, I can't take it." Shen Shuangjian struggled to cover her ears, feeling that every word Xie Jinghui said was terrifying and hard for her to accept.
"But now, it's hard for you to stop halfway, isn't it?"
Xie Jinghui's gaze followed Shen Shuangjian's every expression. He slowly lowered his head until he saw Shen Shuangjian her head back in near collapse, letting out an uncontrollable cry.
Last time, in the wooden cabin by the sea, Shen Shuangjian was drunk, her reactions were slow, her reason was relaxed, and she couldn't help but indulge in pleasure.
Xie Jinghui then than he is now; he only dared to restrain himself and act obediently.
But Shen Shuangjian too innocent, both psychologically and physiologically sensitive, so when Xie Jinghui saw him cower and refuse, Xie Jinghui hesitated and withdrew his probing hand.
But now, he is Shen Shuangjian's rightful lover.
He would never be timid again; on the contrary, he would let Shen Shuangjian cry in his arms many times.
Xie Jinghui was slapped many times by Shen Shuangjian.
In her most aggrieved and unbearable moments, Shen Shuangjian would push him while crying, and would slap Xie Jinghui without restraint.
Unlike Shen Shuangjian of precious flesh, Xie Jinghui was clearly much "thicker-skinned and tougher."
Even if he hit Xie Jinghui a few more times, it would be difficult for Xie Jinghui to feel pain, as his hands were no longer strong enough.
On the contrary, Shen Shuangjian that he was bullying her so badly, with many parts of her body stinging from the bites, and pink bite marks on her fingers, which she had injured herself because she couldn't help it.
If Xie Jinghui hadn't discovered it early, Shen Shuangjian might have bitten herself even more severely.
Finally, Shen Shuangjian endured the stinging pain and curled up into the blankets.
Xie Jinghui couldn't soothe him, so she could only weakly clutch the blanket and listen to his faint sobs.
At times like these, saying "I was wrong," "I'm sorry," and "I won't do it again" seems particularly inadequate.
What's worse, Shen Sixian, who had timed it perfectly to wake his younger brother up and get ready to go downstairs for dinner, just happened to knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock--".
" Zhizhi, Zhizhi?"
Shen Shuangjian, who was huddled under the covers and refused to speak, was clearly too preoccupied with her own "grievances" to even hear the knocking.
Outside the door, Shen Sixian frowned slightly after knocking but receiving no response. He picked up his phone and made a video call.
In the bedroom, Shen Shuangjian the phone on the bedside table ring at the same time. Xie Jinghui's brow twitched heavily. He picked up the phone, but did not hang up as if to cover it up.
Instead, he ingratiatingly shoved the phone under the covers.
In the soft blankets, Shen Shuangjian blurry with tears. After seeing the display on the screen, she tapped to connect.
"Elder brother..."
Before Shen Sixian could even speak, he heard Shen Shuangjian's voice, hoarse and soft, tinged with the sound of crying.
Shen Sixian's heart tightened for a moment. He slammed his hand on the door, then realized what he had done and turned to speak to Shen Shuangjian.
" Zhizhi, I'm outside the door. Open the door for your brother!"
When that sound came from under the covers, Xie Jinghui knew he was doomed again.
Shen Shuangjian he was bullied, and then dump an even bigger mess on her without hesitation.
Like a little turtle, Shen Shuangjian, who had been curled up in bed for a long time, finally got out of bed as if returning to the ocean, lifting the half-covered blanket and bypassing Xie Jinghui.
He didn't even glance back at Xie Jinghui's apology and pleading; without hesitation, he opened the door and threw himself into Shen Sixian's arms.
"Elder brother--!"
Shen Shuangjian's long hair rose and fell, and he bumped into Shen Sixian's arms. Because his legs were weak, he could only use his arms to tightly hook around Shen Sixian.
She exerted so much force that even her slender, frail body trembled slightly.
" Zhizhi...?"
Shen Sixian panicked a little. He hugged Shen Shuangjian back and looked into the room, only to find that Xie Jinghui, who should have been in his own room, was in Shen Shuangjian's room.
Shen Sixian: "?"
