Source Of Calamity - Ch 38
After a tiring day, Shen Zhen was ready to go back to wash up and sleep. The Sun family siblings sent him a message, nothing more than to express their gratitude. Shen Zhen took a look and put away the phone.
Every night, Mama Zhang waited until Shen Zhen came back before going to sleep herself. Standing downstairs and looking at the lights upstairs, Shen Zhen felt a little warm in his heart.
Mama Zhang was the one who accompanied him to the end in his previous life, but it was a pity that Mama Zhang’s son had always hated him deeply.
Shen Zhen could also understand, after all, if he was Mama Zhang’s child, he probably wouldn’t have a good impression of him.
For the sake of Mama Zhang, he also decided to treat Mama Zhang’s son better and not let Mama Zhang be in a dilemma.
Opening the anti-theft door, Shen Zhen felt a lot more relaxed. He took off his coat, put on slippers, and walked straight in. As soon as he walked in, he saw Qin Xing sitting on the sofa.
Shen Zhen felt as if he was hallucinating, and he asked in surprise: “Uncle, why are you here?”
Qin Xing was watching TV, but one couldn’t be sure if he even truly paid any attention to it. He waved to Shen Zhen, and Shen Zhen walked over obediently and sat beside Qin Xing.
Qin Xing smiled and said, “I happened to be passing by, so I came up to see you.”
Shen Zhen: “Has Uncle had dinner?”
Qin Xing reached out and touched Shen Zhen’s head, with a smile in his eyes: “I have eaten, how about Xiao Zhen?”
Shen Zhen said coquettishly: “I went to the banquet tonight and I didn’t eat fully.”
Qin Xing raised his eyebrows: “Auntie is not here.”
Shen Zhen looked left and right, and he really didn’t see Mama Zhang. He asked strangely, “Where is Mama Zhang?”
Looking at Shen Zhen’s appearance, Qin Xing really felt a tickling in his heart, and couldn’t help pinching Shen Zhen’s nose: “I let her go home for a few days.”
Shen Zhen asked strangely: “Why did you ask Mama Zhang to go back?”
Qin Xing: “Uncle is going to stay with you for a few days.”
Shen Zhen was taken aback and couldn’t understand. He asked, “Aren’t you going back to the Qin family manor?”
Qin Xing shook his head: “No, I gave myself a holiday.”
Shen Zhen was a little envious, how wonderful, he could also give himself a vacation, unlike him who was very busy every day.
“Then you won’t go to the company during the day either?” Shen Zhen asked.
Qin Xing: “You don’t have to go either.”
Shen Zhen was surprised: “I don’t need to go either?”
Qin Xing: “I’m not there, what are you going in the company for?”
Shen Zhen thought about it, and it seemed to be true.
After Qin Xing’s words fell, he stood up straight: “Let’s go, Uncle will take you to have a late night snack.”
Shen Zhen suddenly wanted to eat kebab, but felt that Qin Xing’s image didn’t fit well with the small street food stalls, but going to eat Western food in the middle of the night…..
“What do you want to eat?” Qin Xing asked.
Shen Zhen blurted out: “Kebab.”
F**k, how could I have blurted that out! Shen Zhen wanted to slap himself on the mouth, so he quickly said, “Or we can eat something else.”
“Then let’s go eat kebab.” Qin Xing said.
Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing dazedly. Qin Xing bent down, pulled Shen Zhen’s face, and said with a smile: “Go and change clothes.”
When Shen Zhen came out of the room after changing his clothes, what he saw was a totally different Qin Xing. In Shen Zhen’s memory, Qin Xing had never worn dark clothes, and his cleanliness was reflected in almost every aspect of him. But compared to severe obsession with cleanliness, Qin Xing’s condition was much better.
Qin Xing was wearing a black coat, black trousers and shoes, practically head to toes in black, but his ascetic aura remained unchanged.
Shen Zhen was wearing a set of khaki casual clothes and a coat. When he saw Qin Xing, he asked with concern: “Uncle, why don’t you wear more, because the temperature outside is quite low.”
Qin Xing, who was standing at the door, walked towards Shen Zhen after hearing this. Qin Xing was tall, half a head taller than Shen Zhen who just reached 1.8 meters tall. His figure was also very good, his whole person gave off an intimidating feeling like a tiger. Shen Zhen watched Qin Xing walking towards him, swallowed involuntarily, and restrained the urge to retreat.
“Uncle is not cold.” Qin Xing put his palm on Shen Zhen’s cheek when he spoke.
Qin Xing’s hands were dry and warm, and he hadn’t put on gloves yet.
Shen Zhen stammered: “The building, there is heating in the building, so it must not be cold…..”
Qin Xing smiled and said, “You’ll know when you go out.”
Leaving the building, Shen Zhen was about to ask Qin Xing why he didn’t drive. At this moment, Qin Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and took Shen Zhen’s hand very naturally. He didn’t wear gloves, and the two palms were pressed together without barriers.
Shen Zhen’s hands were cold, but Qin Xing’s were warm.
“Look, Uncle is not cold.” Qin Xing lowered his head slightly and whispered in Shen Zhen’s ear.
Shen Zhen wanted to break free, but he also didn’t dare, so he froze in place. As he remained stiff, his hands warmed up, and he also came back to his senses. He found that he and Qin Xing had already walked for a while holding hands like this.
Shen Zhen lowered his head, not daring to look at the eyes of passers-by, but only looked at his own toes.
Feeling inexplicably happy amidst the embarrassment, Shen Zhen felt that he was probably sick.
Mentally sick.
The kebab shop was on the side of the road. It was not small and looked like a chain store. There were many people eating, and just standing on the side of the road, one could smell the delicious fragrance. Shen Zhen felt his saliva secreting, as if he could taste the delicious spicy beef and pork.
“How many?” Seeing someone approaching, the girl who was in charge of the reception came forward with a smile on her face. Just after she finished speaking, she looked up and saw the faces of Shen Zhen and Qin Xing and the girl’s face suddenly turned red. She said, “Inside, there are, there are seats.”
Shen Zhen was always very patient with girls, he said softly, “It’s just the two of us.”
The girl looked at him infatuatedly: “There are no private rooms, you can only sit in the lobby.”
Shen Zhen turned to look at Qin Xing, who smiled and said, “Fine.”
The girl quickly took them to their seats.
“We charge by skewers, 50 cents for a skewer, if you need anything, just wave.” The girl said to Shen Zhen.
Shen Zhen: “Okay, you can go ahead.”
The girl walked away with her heart thumping. Ahhhh, he was so good-looking, good-natured, and able to dress well. This kind of high-quality man was hard to come by. It was too rare. She must take more looks.
Shen Zhen went to get the kebab, and Qin Xing was beside him helping him with the tray.
The old man next to them was probably a chatterbox. He glanced at Shen Zhen and Qin Xing, and then at his son who was playing with his mobile phone while trailing after him. He got angry and scolded: “Look! Look! Look at someone else’s son! Raising you, I might as well raise a hammer!”
The son looked up in confusion.
“Someone else’s son is picking out dishes, and the old father is waiting on the side and doesn’t need to bend down!” The old man had a bad waist.
The son also glanced at Shen Zhen and Qin Xing: “Dad, you have bad eyesight, they are obviously brothers.”
The old man had astigmatism and farsightedness. He took a few steps back to take a look again, but he would not admit his mistake, and snorted coldly: “The father looks young, just like me, he doesn’t appear old.”
Shen Zhen: “…..”
Qin Xing: “…..”
Although they were being discussed, it was not to say bad things, so Shen Zhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He turned to look at Qin Xing. Qin Xing’s face was expressionless and indifferent. It was no different from when he was not smiling, but for some reason, Shen Zhen just felt that Qin Xing was in a bad mood.
Shen Zhen suddenly laughed.
Qin Xing: “What are you laughing at?”
Shen Zhen’s eyes bent into little crescents: “Uncle is very young and handsome.”
Qin Xing’s complexion instantly improved.
Shen Zhen laughed out loud in his heart, Uncle was really easy to coax sometimes.
Shen Zhen happily ate the kebab, with a glass of beer in hand. Qin Xing didn’t eat anything, just sat opposite Shen Zhen and watched.
But compared with Shen Zhen, Shen Li’s life was not so happy.
“Su Shiqing, Su Shiqing, Su Shiqing!” Shen Li vented in his room, “Everything is about Su Shiqing! Why doesn’t he die? Why doesn’t he just die?!”
Shen Li was tired of shouting, so he lay on the bed to rest. He and Su Shiqing had only stayed under the same roof for half a day, yet he felt like he had spent half his life.
Su Shiqing was like the most favored youngest son in the Shen family. His older brothers practically held him in the palm of their hands, and he himself had never been treated so well.
He was upset when he saw Su Shiqing, so when he bumped into Su Shiqing, he only needled Su Shiqing with a few words, yet Su Shiqing actually began to cry. His brothers heard and came, immediately giving him a lecture. If not for his dad still maintaining sense, he definitely couldn’t stand staying in this family anymore.
At this moment, Shen Li’s cell phone rang.
“What?” Shen Li was fierce.
The voice on the other end was ingratiating: “Brother Li, it’s me, Zhao Jiang.”
Shen Li: “Are you asking me to borrow money again?”
“No money.” Shen Li rolled his eyes and said angrily, “An ancestor came to my family today, I offended him, and my brothers suspended my card.”
The person on the other end was anxious: “Who? Who dares to be your ancestor?”
Shen Li: “Su Shiqing.”
The person on the other side of the phone: “Surname Su?”
Shen Li: “Anyway, he is just completely useless, though he is quite talented in seducing men.”
The other side: “…..Brother Li, here, let me give you an idea.”
Shen Li: “En?”
The person on the other end: “You call him out tomorrow, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”
Shen Li sat up straight, how could he have forgotten this method? Had he been civilized at home for too long, that he had forgotten even the simplest means of violence?
“My brothers, if they…..” Shen coughed sharply, he was still a little afraid of his two older brothers.
The person: “Brother Li, this kind of person is just bullying the weak and afraid of the tough. If you teach him a good lesson, he will know to be afraid, and he will definitely listen to you obediently in the future.”
Shen Li: “He is quite capable, anyone can be bewitched by him.”
Shen Li used to think that Shen Zhen was the one he hated the most, because this eldest brother who he was not familiar with would threaten the interests of him and his other two brothers, but now he felt that the person he hated the most was Su Shiqing.
He was simply a flea, disgusting other people all day long.
The person laughed: “Brother Li, you are underestimating me. As long as he comes out, I can educate him well.”
Shen Li hesitated for a few seconds, and when he thought of Su Shiqing’s face, he gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I will tell you the place tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, he thought grimly: Su Shiqing, don’t you like messing with my second and third brothers? Let’s see when the time comes, would they rush over to protect you?
Looking at the night sky outside the window, Shen Li felt that if Su Shiqing could break a leg or an arm tomorrow, it would be great, and it would finally be very peaceful when he was sent to the hospital.
Shen Li sent a text message to Shen Zhen before going to bed, and it was the first time he called Shen Zhen his eldest brother.
“Eldest Brother, I want to get even with Su Shiqing, you have to help cover me.”
Shen Zhen was eating kebab, and texted with one hand: “Okay.”
