Love Notebook of a Reclusive Beautiful Boy - Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Jiang Sheng was stunned.
He did not expect Du Yu to say such words.
Du Yu regarded him as a friend.
The relationship between him and Du Yu was that of employer and employee, but perhaps, they could also become friends.
After all, besides the people of the Du family, he was the very first person in this world to get close to Du Yu.
But besides him, Du Yu could also make friends with other people.
Making more friends, for Du Yu, would ultimately not be a bad thing.
There was a tone of persuasion in Jiang Sheng’s voice, “A-Yu, besides me, you can also make friends with others, do you understand?”
Du Yu listened half-understandingly, blinked his eyes, and nodded, “A-Sheng, is friend.”
Jiang Sheng followed up and said, “Yes, I am A-Yu’s friend, but A-Yu can also make many friends.”
Du Yu might have understood, or might not have; he had never had much interest in these matters.
He couldn’t even state clearly what he liked or disliked, so he had even less interest in those strangers.
But he didn’t tell Jiang Sheng; he just didn’t continue responding to this topic and turned his head to look out the window.
Jiang Sheng couldn’t guess his thoughts either. Seeing that he stopped speaking again, Jiang Sheng secretly thought to himself: better take it slow.
Liao Wenqian was teaching very seriously. Although Jiang Sheng’s English was just average, he still understood this high school knowledge. However, utterly bored at this moment, he could only listen to Liao Wenqian lecture.
Du Yu was looking out the window in a daze. After a while, he suddenly turned his face back, his brow slightly furrowed, and said in a soft, sticky voice, “A-Yu wants to…”
Jiang Sheng was waiting for his next words, but as a result, Du Yu only said those three words and had no further reaction, looking at him with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.
“Wants to what?”
Jiang Sheng inquired with his eyes.
“Wants to… wants to…”
Du Yu kept repeating the words but wouldn’t say another sentence, his face showing a faint trace of distress.
Jiang Sheng looked at him for a moment, then suddenly seemed to understand a bit.
“Want to go to the bathroom?”
Du Yu nodded his head.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Liao Wenqian, just about to speak to her, when the end-of-class bell rang.
Liao Wenqian simply assigned the homework tasks and left.
Jiang Sheng pushed his chair into the desk well, “Let’s go, A-Yu.”
Du Yu was preparing to get up and follow Jiang Sheng when he suddenly remembered the photo frame in his bag. He lowered his head, took the photo frame out, and held it in his arms.
Outside the door, the classmates were all making a racket. The location of the bathroom wasn’t too far, just at the end of the corridor, but Jiang Sheng still took hold of Du Yu’s hand.
After what happened before, he felt that for someone like Du Yu, who couldn’t even distinguish what danger was, paying attention to him at all times was very important.
Du Yu was also used to this kind of contact from Jiang Sheng. Holding the photo frame in one hand and being tightly pulled by Jiang Sheng with the other, he followed Jiang Sheng’s direction step by step.
When they arrived at the restroom, there was no one inside. It was probably because there were two bathrooms on each floor, combined with the fact that this floor only had Du Yu’s class, so fewer people came here.
Jiang Sheng pushed open the door, took a look, “Go on in, A-Yu.”
Although Du Yu was waited on hand and foot everywhere, he still knew how to use the bathroom simply.
Just as he was about to go in, Jiang Sheng suddenly pulled him back, gesturing with his eyes at the photo frame in his hand, “How can you use the bathroom holding this? Come, give it to me.”
Du Yu slightly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Sheng. Without much hesitation, he handed the photo frame to him.
Jiang Sheng was supposed to protect Du Yu at all times, but at this moment, watching Du Yu slowly pulling at his pants zipper, he felt that standing right here and staring at him the whole time was a bit awkward.
He bent down slightly, “A-Yu, call me when you’re done, I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Okay…”
Du Yu responded in a crisp, clear voice.
So Jiang Sheng turned and walked outside the door, casually closing it behind him.
Outside the bathroom door was a beautifully trimmed square flower bed. Looking a bit further ahead, there was a large plaza with almost no one on it.
The entire campus seemed very quiet, carrying a sense of being deserted.
Jiang Sheng thought of his own high school days. Let alone after class, even during class time, it was noisy outside the classrooms. Looking further out, one might even see a few couples kissing under the trees.
As he thought, his mind wandered to Du Yu. He heard from Du Yanyu that Du Yu had been taught by private tutors for the past ten years; he wondered how those tutors had taught him.
Du Yu often ignored people. He didn’t know how many times those tutors had to teach him before he would softly and clearly repeat a sentence after them. It really tested a person’s patience.
Thinking of that scene, Jiang Sheng couldn’t help but lower his head and let out a soft laugh. The laugh was very light, and he raised his head again after a moment.
“A-Sheng…”
Du Yu’s voice suddenly came from the crack of the door.
Jiang Sheng quickly pushed the door open and saw Du Yu fumbling with the zipper with both hands, looking at the incoming Jiang Sheng with an expression of not knowing what to do.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Sheng walked over.
Du Yu lowered his head, his voice filled with helplessness, “A-Yu can’t do it…”
Jiang Sheng squatted down and took a look. It turned out that the zipper of the pants had accidentally gotten caught and tangled with the lining thread, getting stuck.
He raised his eyes to look at Du Yu, “It’s fine, A-Yu, it’ll be fixed in a moment.”
Jiang Sheng’s face was very close to that area of his, for no other reason than wanting to see more clearly.
The thread inside the pants and the zipper were jammed together. Jiang Sheng raised his hand to gently tug at that piece of cloth in the crotch. Unwittingly, his hand intentionally or unintentionally kept touching Du Yu right there.
Although Du Yu’s mental age was immature, his body parts were no different from an adult man’s.
However, he didn’t understand these things; he just felt that this sensation was very strange.
Jiang Sheng kept untangling the zipper for him and didn’t notice Du Yu’s expression.
Du Yu felt uncomfortable. He instinctively did not want Jiang Sheng to continue anymore. He raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Sheng’s wrist, “Don’t…”
Jiang Sheng was slightly puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
Du Yu couldn’t explain. He just looked at him, his face even more uncomfortable than before, stammering and repeating, “Don’t…”
Jiang Sheng didn’t understand his meaning and thought he just didn’t want the zipper fixed anymore, so he had to explain to him, “A-Yu, it’s not fixed yet. You can’t go out looking like this.”
Du Yu didn’t understand that much. It was just that the more Jiang Sheng touched him, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn’t explain this, so he could only contradict Jiang Sheng, saying, “Want to go out…”
Just as Jiang Sheng wanted to persuade him, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.
It was Liang Sinian and his good bestie, Tang Baojun.
As soon as they walked in, they saw Du Yu standing straight, while Jiang Sheng was squatting, his face buried near his crotch. Because the position was too sensitive and they were standing far away, their brains instantly filled in all kinds of explosive, scandalous scenes.
Tang Baojun’s hand was hooked over Liang Sinian’s shoulder, “Wow, Liang-zai, this is way too explosive!”
Liang Sinian was also shocked by this scene, “This, this, this, Ah Sir, you, you, you, this kind of thing… who would have thought you like this type…”
Jiang Sheng stood up, his gaze looking at them calmly, “You know what type I like?”
Tang Baojun frequently watched adult videos—male-male, male-female, he had seen them all, so he wasn’t particularly shocked by this kind of thing.
He pointed at Du Yu and smiled wickedly, “No need to guess! What were you two doing just now? What else can be done in a bathroom, we all know very clearly!”
Jiang Sheng didn’t care about these misunderstandings. He had been in the police force for so many years and had been slandered and misunderstood countless times; he never paid attention to these things.
But he couldn’t let them misunderstand Du Yu.
Jiang Sheng’s voice was calm, “Stop overthinking. His zipper got jammed, I was untangling it for him.”
“Zipper got jammed? Real or fake?”
The two of them walked over, tilted their heads to look, and after seeing clearly, Tang Baojun said, “It really is.”
Then he turned back and smiled, “Sorry about that, Ah Sir.”
“I told you, Ah Sir looks so striking and talented, how could he possibly… right?”
“Are you two using the bathroom or not?”
Tang Baojun grinned and laughed, “Yes, isn’t coming to the bathroom meant for using the bathroom?”
So the two of them relieved themselves while talking.
After finishing, they looked at Jiang Sheng and Du Yu. Liang Sinian said, “We’ll leave first, won’t disturb Ah Sir unzipping the pants anymore.”
“A-Yu also wants to go out.”
Du Yu closely followed, also wanting to leave.
Jiang Sheng pulled him back, “You can’t go out.”
His voice softened a bit, carrying some comfort, “Be good, A-Yu, wait a moment.”
When Du Yu wasn’t being stubborn, Jiang Sheng’s comforting words still had some effect.
He looked at Jiang Sheng, his gaze clear, but he didn’t utter a word.
Jiang Sheng naturally understood his meaning and quickly squatted down again, wanting to fix it for Du Yu.
But he had never realized why Du Yu suddenly told him not to untangle it.
His hand still intentionally or unintentionally touched that place.
Du Yu’s brow furrowed slightly, his voice low as he said, “A-Yu… uncomfortable…”
“Uncomfortable?”
Jiang Sheng raised his eyes, saw his enduring face, and seemed to understand something.
