Lin Shen blinked and looked at the book stiffly.

Mo Juechen …

He actually saw the name of the Middle Second School Hunk in Lin Yuan's bedside book.

Then?

He stood there in a daze.

He didn't even notice that the loungewear in his arms had fallen to the ground.

That book was very close to him.

Lin Shen only needed to take a step forward, reach out, and flip it open again.

But to him, it was like a Pandora's box, making him feel scared.

A plain cover.

A book that wasn't thick …

Huh?

Not thick?!

Lin Shen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Although the Mary Sue School Hunk novel he read before was an e-book, it had a lot of words. If it was printed into a book, it would definitely be a very thick book.

It couldn't be so thin.

Lin Shen subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Was it Mo Juechen?

He started to feel uncertain.

Could it be that he read it too quickly just now and saw wrongly?

Should he take another look?

Lin Shen's Adam's apple bobbed up and down a few times.

Although it wasn't right to secretly read his brother's book, his curiosity about the contents of the book gave him the courage to reach out to the book again …

"Shenshen."

"Ah!" Lin Shen exclaimed and almost jumped up.

"Bam!" The book was knocked to the ground again.

"Shenshen?" Lin Yuan's voice rang out again. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing …" Lin Shen was so nervous that he stuttered.

He turned to look at his brother. "Nothing."

Lin Yuan looked at him suspiciously, then turned his gaze to the loungewear and book that had fallen to the ground.

He chuckled and calmly walked to Lin Shen's side.

Lin Yuan bent down and picked up the loungewear, patted it, and handed it to Lin Shen.

Then, he took the book.

Lin Yuan placed the book back on the bedside table and smiled at Lin Shen. "Is it hard to find?"

He pointed outside the door. "I heard your classmate calling you. He should be done with his shower."

"Oh … oh oh …" Lin Shen replied blankly.

He couldn't control his gaze as it kept drifting towards the book.

No!

A voice in Lin Shen's mind was telling him, "You can't just ask for it!"

This would …

What could it be?

He was stunned.

What was he afraid of?

Afraid … of his gentle and considerate brother who couldn't be any better?

"What happened?"

"Nothing." Lin Shen quickly shook his head.

He carried his home clothes and walked quickly to Lin Yuan's bedroom door with his head lowered.

Lin Shen ran back to his bedroom and closed the door. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

He leaned against the door and stared blankly into space.

Did he or did he not?

Was there a Mo Juechen in that book?

He was even more unsure now.

It was just a quick glance. Could it be that he had seen wrongly?

His brother looked so generous and natural. If there was really a problem, how could he be so nice and natural to him?

Yes!

He must have seen wrongly!

As if to convince himself, Lin Shen nodded vigorously.

He must have seen wrongly!

Too many things had happened between him and Mo Juechen recently. Plus, in the recreation room just now, they …

His mind was filled with the other party.

He must have seen wrongly!

Lin Shen hugged his home clothes tightly and nodded vigorously again.

"Click." The bathroom door in his bedroom opened from the inside.

Mo Juechen strode out with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist.

Lin Shen was still leaning against the door.

As soon as Mo Juechen stepped out of the door, he met Lin Shen's eyes.

He was half-naked.

The freshly showered bathroom was filled with steam, and the steam was rushing behind him.

Mo Juechen's hair was wet.

Water droplets rolled down the ends of his hair and landed on his firm shoulders.

Finally, the water droplets flowed down his back and disappeared into the bath towel.

Lin Shen: "!!!"

It was not the first time he had seen Mo Juechen like this.

But the last time he saw Mo Juechen at the hot spring hotel, he did not have that kind of thought towards Mo Juechen.

They had not kissed yet.

Their relationship was still the purest of schoolmates.

Lin Shen did not need to look in the mirror to know that his face must be red.

He turned his head abruptly, but he did not scream like a little girl.

But even his ears started to heat up.

"Your …" Lin Shen swallowed his saliva and extended his arm to pass her the home clothes. "Your clothes."

Heh …

Mo Juechen seemed to chuckle.

He reached out to take the home clothes. His wet fingertips accidentally brushed Lin Shen's fingers.

Lin Shen felt as if he had been scalded again.

He suddenly retracted his hand and quietly took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm down.

Lin Shen turned his head and looked at his bed. "The bed seems a little narrow …"

"Shut up!" Mo Juechen scolded him. "Do you want me to kiss you in front of your brother?"

The threat was shameless, but it was quite effective.

Lin Shen had something on his mind, so he immediately shut up and went to take a shower.

He was actually quite assured of Mo Juechen.

Mo Juechen was chuunibyou and arrogant, but he had never done anything that made him unhappy.

When he came out of the shower, Mo Juechen was already lying on the bed.

He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, leaving only his head exposed.

Lin Shen walked to the bedside. Mo Juechen, who had wrapped himself in a cocoon, looked up at him.

"I …"

"I haven't …"

They both spoke at the same time.

Then they shut their mouths at the same time.

"You first." Mo Juechen snorted softly, indicating for Lin Shen to speak first.

"I haven't invited friends to my house before." Lin Shen said as he put away his bath towel.

He saw that the new bath towel he had found for Mo Juechen was neatly folded on the chair beside him.

Even Mo Juechen's school uniform was neatly folded and put aside.

Lin Shen quickly got under the blanket.

They each covered themselves with a duvet.

The bed was 1.8 meters, and the blanket alone was enough to separate the two of them by an arm's length.

He followed Mo Juechen's example and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, leaving only his head outside.

No one spoke for a while in the bedroom.

Lin Shen could hear Mo Juechen's breathing in his ears.

It was long, with a strange and yet familiar scent.

Even his bedroom seemed to be contaminated by another person's scent, becoming strange and familiar at the same time.

"What did you want to say just now?"

Lin Shen was silent for a while, then asked.

This feeling was very novel to him.

He had never invited anyone to his house, let alone share a bed with someone his age.

This feeling of sharing his own private territory with someone else made Lin Shen feel a sense of novelty and indescribable excitement.

"It's also my first time staying over at someone else's house." Mo Juechen said.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and turned off the bedroom light.

The thick floor-to-ceiling curtains blocked the stars and moonlight outside the window, leaving only a night light in the corner of the door emitting a faint yellow glow.

Lin Shen blinked.

After he started university, he usually lived in the university dormitory.

But because he chose a major that he wasn't good at and didn't like.

In order to not fall behind in his homework, he left early and returned late every day, and most of the time he would stay in the library until it closed.

Before the final exams, the library opened an all-night study room.

Lin Shen left the dormitory at five in the morning and returned at one in the morning.

He knew that many of his roommates would lie down and chat before going to bed.

Night chat, that was one of the famous dormitory culture in the university.

Thinking back, Lin Shen really didn't participate in it even once.

He had to go home on the weekends, and almost never participated in dormitory activities.

After a long time, Lin Shen became an invisible person among his classmates.

Other than the fact that he was third in the grade in his first year, which surprised his classmates, he almost didn't have a sense of existence.

Later on, even during class activities, the class monitor only asked him.

He didn't participate, and never forced himself.

Lin Shen thought about this and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Although his laugh was short, it was full of self-mockery.

Mo Juechen immediately asked, "Laughing at me?"

"No." Lin Shen blinked.

The lights were off, and in the darkness, neither of them could see the other's expression.

He could unscrupulously raise the corner of his lips and silently laugh at himself.

In the past, in order to not be left behind by his genius brother, in order to let his parents take a second look at him, he really sacrificed a lot.

It wasn't really a sacrifice.

But it was true that he almost abandoned a lot of things that an ordinary boy of his age could experience.

And his personality also became very unpleasant.

Lin Shen pursed his lips.

His hands under the blanket slowly curled up and clenched into fists.

He drank.

Now in the darkness.

No one would see the expression on his face.

And no one would hear the thoughts in his heart.

In this moment, he suddenly saw his own heart clearly.

Just now in the bedroom in Lin Yuan, he clearly had the opportunity to open the book and take a look.

The first time he touched the book and came to Lin Yuan.

There was clearly a long period of time.

But he would rather stand there in a daze and remind himself.

He didn't reach out to open the book and take a look.

— Because he was worried that it would be Pandora's box.

Because he …

Probably a little earlier, a thought quietly emerged in the depths of his heart.

— He didn't really want to go back!

He really, really liked his current family and friends too much!

Lin Shen suddenly reached out and pulled the blanket.

He buried his head under the blanket, wrapping himself into a cocoon.

Here.

There were parents who respected him and loved him.

There was an equally talented but gentle and considerate brother.

There was a bright and cheerful younger brother.

There was Qian Mingming and Tao Ran who called him "Shen Ge".

There was Xu Chen and Su Tiantian.

There was …

"Hey!" Mo Juechen, who was sleeping next to Lin Shen, suddenly turned over and sat up.

He supported himself with one hand on the bed and stared at the "Lin Shen's cocoon" that kept moving around with his eyes that were gradually getting used to the darkness.

"What are you doing?" Mo Juechen reached out and patted Lin Shen's blanket.

"Don't worry about me." Lin Shen's muffled voice came from under the blanket. "I want to be alone."

"Who's Jingjing?" Mo Juechen was obviously in a good mood and even continued the topic.

"Why do you care who my Jingjing is?" Lin Shen was silent for a while, then his muffled voice sounded again. "I just miss her!"

"You'll suffocate yourself like this." Mo Juechen simply sat up straight and reached out to pull Lin Shen's blanket.

"Let go." Lin Shen clutched the blanket tightly and refused to let him pull it away.

His body wriggled in the cocoon and tried hard to press the blanket tightly under his body.

"Go to sleep," Lin Shen said.

"I can't sleep." Mo Juechen admitted openly. "I can't sleep on my own bed."

Lin Shen: "…"

He couldn't help but complain.

He could only sleep on his own bed and still agreed to stay.

But after being interrupted by Mo Juechen, his gloomy mood was relieved.

Lin Shen pulled the blanket and sat up.

Neither of them turned on the lights and just sat on the bed facing each other.

His eyes had gradually adapted to the darkness, but Lin Shen still couldn't see Mo Juechen's expression clearly.

He could only see his eyes.

Even in the dim bedroom, it was still shining brightly, so bright that it really looked like the stars in the sky.

"I can't sleep." Mo Juechen repeated. "Why don't we …"

"Coincidentally, I can't sleep either." Lin Shen said, "Let's chat?"

Saying this made him sound a little gay.

But talking to friends of the same age in bed seemed to be a part of youthful life.

"… Okay." Mo Juechen leaned against the headboard and put his hands behind his head.

He glanced sideways at Lin Shen. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know." Lin Shen mimicked his posture and leaned against the headboard.

"If you were with Tao Ran and the others, what would you talk about at this time?" he asked.

"What would we talk about?" Mo Juechen thought for a while. "Everything.

Tao Ran and Xu Chen's favorite teams, new games, movies … Occasionally, we would talk about family matters. "

Lin Shen turned to look at him. "Oh."

He still didn't know what to talk about.

Lin Shen tried to recall carefully.

During this period of time, he and Mo Juechen were basically doing practice questions and reading books.

Time was tight, so there was no time to play games or watch movies.

As for teams, whether it was football or basketball, he didn't watch them.

Lin Shen was a little depressed.

It turned out that he really didn't know anything other than studying.

No wonder he couldn't make friends and couldn't even find the simplest topic to talk about.

"Why did you look so distracted when you came back from getting your clothes?" Mo Juechen suddenly asked.

This was a good topic, but he couldn't talk about it with Mo Juechen.

Lin Shen was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and opened the door.

He got out of bed, walked around the bed to Mo Juechen, and took a book from the desk.

Lin Shen stuffed the book into Mo Juechen's hands. "I've thought about it. Memorizing the question bank can only improve your grades in the short term, it's not a long-term solution.

So … "

He took out another book, walked back to the bed, and sat down. "Since everyone can't sleep, let's read together."

Mo Juechen was speechless.

He looked at Lin Shen in disbelief.

The monthly exam had just ended!

He even drank a little.

He was quite drunk in the car.

And now he said, "Let's read!"

Mo Juechen held another book in his hand and sat on the bed in a daze.

While he was in a daze, Lin Shen had already flipped a page of the book.

He looked up at Mo Juechen and said seriously, "Although the monthly exam has just ended, we are only eight months away from the college entrance exam.

Time waits for no man. Every inch of time is worth its weight in gold. So since you can't sleep, let's not waste time and read. "

Mo Juechen was speechless.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Did something happen just now?"

He paused and asked again, "Is it related to your brother?"

Lin Shen's hand that was holding the book froze.

But he quickly calmed down and flipped the book to a new page as if nothing had happened. "No."

"No?" Mo Juechen narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Shen.

His deep gaze moved back and forth between Huo Jinyao's face and the book.

Lin Shen flipped another page of the book.

At least on the surface, he looked like he was reading seriously.

His eyes were fixed on the book and he looked extremely focused.

"You're lying!" Mo Juechen reached out and snatched the book from Lin Shen's hands.

"What are you doing?" Lin Shen reached out and tried to snatch it back.

Mo Juechen raised his arm and threw the book back on the desk.

"When you're reading, even if the page is filled with content that you're familiar with, you'll quickly scan through it and then close your eyes to think for a few minutes before flipping to the next page."

Mo Juechen said.

"I'm guessing that when you close your eyes to think, you're going through the contents of the page again in your mind."

He and Lin Shen had studied together for almost a month. They took lunch breaks every day and studied together at night.

Mo Juechen had already figured out most of Huo Jinyao's little habits.

Lin Shen was speechless.

"So just now, you weren't paying attention at all." He said with certainty, "You were avoiding it."

Lin Shen was speechless.

This was not the first time he had experienced the sharpness of the school hunk.

But it didn't matter!

Lin Shen comforted himself. In the end, it would all end in a way that he would never have imagined.

He didn't need to worry about being seen through.

"Just now, you went to get my pajamas for me. When you came back, you looked frightened."

Mo Juechen looked at Lin Shen thoughtfully, "There are only three of us in the Lin Family. You went to get your brother's pajamas for me, so …"

He concluded, "You were frightened by your brother."

Lin Shen continued to comfort himself.

It didn't matter. The school hunk wouldn't have the last laugh!

"Lin Yuan is gentle and refined. He treats you very well. Even to me … your classmates, he's very polite. You can't find any fault with him."

Mo Juechen continued, "Your brother is busy in the study. With his attitude towards you, he definitely wouldn't mind if you went to get your pajamas yourself."

He asked, "What did you see in your brother's room?

The secret he's hiding?

What scared you to this extent! "

Lin Shen was speechless.

"I didn't see anything!" He hurriedly said.

"Ha — —" Mo Juechen snorted softly.

He looked into Lin Shen's eyes, "You're denying it too quickly. It's a sign of guilt.

Hey! "

He moved closer to Lin Shen, "What did you see?

Your brother's secret relationship?

Or the secret he's hiding under his gentle appearance? "

"Neither!" Lin Shen quickly retorted, "What secret?

My brother is open and aboveboard. What secret could he have? "

Mo Juechen pursed his lips, "Don't you think your brother is a little strange?"

Lin Shen already had something on his mind. When Mo Juechen said this, he became even more nervous.

He subconsciously opened his mouth. Even his throat was a little dry.

"He's really good." Mo Juechen said, "But I keep feeling that there's something strange about him."

"What, what's strange about him?" Lin Shen retorted.

But this time, his tone was soft and he didn't sound very confident, "He just has some work to do recently, so he's been too busy."

"It's not like that."

Mo Juechen narrowed his eyes slightly, "I keep feeling that it's a little strange.

Hey … "

He nudged Lin Shen's arm with his elbow, "Don't you think that his attitude towards me is a little strange?"

"If a normal person hears their brother kissing a boy of the same age, wouldn't they be very surprised and angry? Wouldn't they want to break them up immediately and never see each other again?"

"Kiss … kiss?!" Lin Shen's brain was about to crash, "You heard your brother kissing a boy?!"

He suddenly wailed.

Help!

His brother actually knew?!

When did this happen?!

Did Mo Juechen show off?

Lin Shen simply wanted to dig a hole in the bed and hide in it.

No!

He should have dug a hole in the bed to bury Mo Juechen.

It was obvious that Mo Juechen was bragging and showing off.

Yes!

It was him!

That morning, he had let it slip at the school gate and many people had heard it.

Later on, it was even posted on the school forum!

Although the matter was quickly settled, his brother always scrolled through the school forum, so he might have seen it at that time!

Lin Shen reached out and grabbed Mo Juechen's collar tightly, "My brother knows that we took … that, it's all your fault!"

"How can you blame me?"

Mo Juechen's expression was calm, "Just now, when your brother drove you home, you personally said that my kissing skills were not … You said that my kissing skills were especially good!"

Lin Shen, "…"

Mo Juechen had clearly said that he disliked his kissing skills.

He was lying through his teeth, wasn't he too much?

"Your brother heard that." Mo Juechen turned his head away and remained silent for a long time, unsure whether he was embarrassed or angry.

After two minutes, he continued, "He still warmly invited me to your house to play and warmly asked me to stay!"

"You …" He asked Lin Shen, "Don't you find it strange?"

This was indeed strange, something that even open-mindedness couldn't explain.

Lin Shen opened his mouth.

Then opened it again.

He stared at Mo Juechen in a daze.

Mo Juechen's eyes were shining, and he was also looking at him.

Now that he thought about it, it was a little strange.

Plus, there was the book he saw in the bedroom.

Lin Shen was now more and more unsure if the words "Mo Juechen" were really in the book.

"Sleep!" He only felt frustrated. He lay down on the bed and pulled up the blanket to cover his head.

"Everything can wait until I wake up!" Lin Shen said vaguely.

"Can you sleep?" Mo Juechen asked.

"Yes!" Lin Shen said with certainty.

"Okay." Mo Juechen also lay down.

He turned off the lights again.

In the darkness, no one spoke again.

Their breaths rose and fell one after another. It was obvious that neither of them had slept for a long time.

Lin Shen didn't know when he fell asleep.

He only remembered that his mind was in a mess.

One moment it was Lin Yuan, the next it was Mo Juechen.

In the end, the figures of the two people came one after another, running around in his mind.

Although he fell asleep in a daze, he didn't sleep well the whole night.

When he woke up the next morning.

For a moment, Lin Shen was completely stunned.

There was a bronze arm across his chest.

The owner of the arm was still asleep. Lin Shen turned his head and saw the other person's handsome face magnified.

— — -Even at such a close distance, he couldn't see any flaws.

He stared blankly at Mo Juechen's face for a while, then finally reacted.

He invited the other person to his house to play yesterday, and he even slept at his house.

No wonder he kept having nightmares. It was because the other person's arm was on his chest.

Lin Shen reached out and carefully lifted Mo Juechen's arm, trying to move it away from his body.

As soon as he moved, Mo Juechen opened his eyes.

"You're awake?" he turned over and rubbed his forehead, "What time is it?"

"Eight o 'clock." Lin Shen said.

"Oh …" Mo Juechen closed his eyes and lay on the bed.

"Did you not sleep well?" Lin Shen turned over and sat up.

He looked at Mo Juechen.

The other person's expression looked a bit tired.

There was even a faint green under his eyes.

He didn't look like he had just woken up. Instead, he looked like he had stayed up all night.

"Ha — —" Mo Juechen snorted softly.

"Do you want to sleep for a while more?" Lin Shen asked.

"Forget it." Mo Juechen closed his eyes. He turned over and sat up.

He washed up and went downstairs.

He didn't know what time Lin Yuan was busy until, and he didn't know if he had woken up.

The first floor of the Lin Family's house was quiet.

Mo Juechen was still wearing Lin Yuan's home clothes.

He was walking towards the kitchen, and naturally asked Lin Shen, "What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

"Anything." Lin Shen turned his head and looked upstairs.

He made up his mind to look at the book next to his brother's bed again.

Although it wasn't good to sneak in and invade other people's privacy, he really couldn't sleep if he didn't figure out the problem.

To their surprise, there were two simple breakfasts on the table.

There were egg sandwiches and freshly squeezed fruit juice. Next to the transparent glasses, there were fruit candies for Lin Shen and Mo Juechen.

Looking at these things that were obviously made by Lin Yuan, Lin Shen hesitated again.

Mo Juechen saw his hesitant expression.

He drank the last mouthful of fruit juice and said to Lin Shen, "Why do you always like to think about things?"

He said, "If you want to do something, then do it. As long as you don't regret it, it's fine."

"But …"

"But what?" Mo Juechen interrupted him, "You only need to ask yourself."

"First, do you want to do it?

Second, after you do it, can you bear the consequences? "He said," If the answer is yes, then do it! "

First, do you want to do it?

You want to figure it out!

Second, can you bear the consequences?

This …

Lin Shen hesitated again.

"Okay." Mo Juechen thought about it, "Since I'm still here, and I've eaten your breakfast.

You can add a third question. "

"What is it?" Lin Shen asked instinctively.

"Third, if the consequences are something you can't bear.

What if you add me? "

Mo Juechen said, "If you add me, then do it."

He looked into Lin Shen's eyes and said calmly.
