No One Else Will Do But You - Chapter 53

Jiang Qin had never met Shu Luo’s grandmother, but that didn’t stop her from building rapport.

She acted like Shu Luo’s mother’s (Shu Qin’s) good sister, showering Li Songping with care and concern.

“They are all good children. You raised A Mu very well, too—handsome, polite, and refined. Isn’t that right, A Mu’s father?” Li Songping finished speaking and looked at Carlo.

Carlo always believed that the context of Chinese language was profound and definitely not as simple as the surface meaning.

However, if he couldn’t even understand this simple meaning, his time in China would be wasted.

“It was my failure as a father, and now, naturally, I’ve come to China to make amends.”

Looking at the handsome French man, Li Songping noted his elegant demeanor, and he didn’t seem displeased by her rather abrupt question.

Shu Luo couldn’t bear to listen anymore. Why was his grandmother always asking people about sensitive topics? It was going to make the atmosphere cold.

He subtly signaled his mother, Shu Qin, with his eyes.

Shu Qin was helpless, but to prevent the awkwardness, she said, “Mom, it’s getting late. Why don’t I take you to rest?”

Li Songping nodded; she also felt a little tired. “Alright, let’s talk tomorrow then. Luo Luo, accompany me upstairs.”

Shu Luo felt miserable: “…” Why am I always the one who gets hurt?

Since there were no guest rooms on the first floor, and the caregiver was a woman, and he couldn’t ask Jiang Mu’s family to do this, and his own father was away on a business trip, the task of carrying the elderly lady naturally fell to him.

The elderly lady had been well taken care of and was quite heavy.

Shu Luo concentrated and carefully lifted his grandmother onto his back. Sigh… it’s moments like these you regret not having enough strength.

Shu Qin couldn’t do anything about it. Sometimes, the elderly are like children. But her concern was that her mother seemed heavier than her son! Her poor Luo Luo. Mommy will definitely buy him good food.

Li Songping had been well nourished abroad and was a little robust.

Shu Luo muttered inwardly, Thank goodness it’s only the second floor (π_π).

The veins on his pale neck were very prominent. His slender-looking arms, carrying the weight, surprisingly managed to bear the elderly lady.

Jiang Mu watched, feeling distressed.

“The little one is quite strong,” Carlo commented.

Jiang Mu’s family of three walked out to the small garden to head back home first.

“I’ll wait here for Luo Luo. I probably won’t be home tonight. My thesis is at the apartment, and I need to rush to finish it. You guys go back first.”

After carrying his grandmother to the room, Shu Luo helped close the door. His hands were aching. They were shaking so much he was afraid he’d drop her. Why had Grandma gained so much weight recently? He couldn’t carry her anymore.

He rubbed his shoulder but couldn’t stop his hands from trembling. He still had class tomorrow! If he held a scalpel while trembling, people would think he was nervous.

He said goodbye to his mother and left. He needed to head back to Jiang Mu’s apartment later to rush his homework.

He stepped out and saw Jiang Mu leaning against the door frame. His tall, slender figure cast a shadow that was stretched infinitely long on the ground, serene and elegant.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Mu turned his head.

In that moment, Shu Luo felt struck by Jiang Mu’s handsomeness.

Shu Luo swallowed. He was starting to fawn over him now; he never used to do that.

Jiang Mu smiled, clearly pleased by Shu Luo’s reaction. Then, he noticed the hands still slightly trembling, and a hint of distress appeared in his eyes.

“Come here.”

Shu Luo walked over.

Jiang Mu took his hand and gently held it, then asked, “Still shaking?”

“Grandma seems to have gotten heavier. I couldn’t really carry her,” Shu Luo said helplessly.

“I told you to eat more. You’ve been losing weight a bit too fast recently.” He had originally planned to personally deliver meals to him every day, but the situation had been a bit special lately.

“I’ve only lost a tiny bit of weight. Don’t make such a big fuss.”

Back at the apartment, Jiang Mu took a hot towel to apply to Shu Luo’s arms.

Looking at the person half-crouched in front of him, Shu Luo’s gaze traced his handsome face. He was really good-looking. He never used to look at him that closely before.

“Am I handsome?”

Meeting Jiang Mu’s eyes, Shu Luo felt caught, and his ears turned slightly red.

Shu Luo pretended to be calm and turned his head away. “Ahem, just average.”

Suddenly, he felt something warm and wet on his earlobe. Jiang Mu had kissed it.

Shu Luo froze, his whole body stiffened. W-what was he doing?! Huh?!

“Your earlobe looks delicious.”

The seductive voice sounded next to his ear, and his heartbeat instantly accelerated.

“Brother…”

The faint, slightly trembling voice caused Jiang Mu’s eyes to deepen, and the desire deep within him was reignited.

Suddenly, Shu Luo felt his back slammed hard against the sofa, and his eyes widened.

“W-what are you doing?”

Jiang Mu supported himself with his arms on either side of Shu Luo’s head, his gaze burning.

“What do you think?”

The rhetorical question made Shu Luo immediately hug his chest with both arms, feeling awkward. “Isn’t it too fast? I’m not mentally prepared.”

Before Shu Luo could react, Jiang Mu kissed him fiercely.

Their lips and teeth intertwined, and the fiery dance in their mouths instantly ignited the impulse inside.

It was different from their usual fleeting kisses, as both of them were feeling intensely passionate.

Shu Luo could almost hear the pounding of his heart urging him on, but the last barrier of his consciousness was still closed.

The conflicting feelings made him feel confused.

Until they separated.

Both were breathing heavily, their foreheads touching, their eyes locked.

Looking at Shu Luo’s glazed eyes and pink cheeks, it was truly maddening.

Shu Luo was startled to feel what was pressing against his lower abdomen—Jiang Mu’s hardness—and his face immediately flushed deep red.

“You, you, you—” He couldn’t even speak properly.

“Don’t tempt me anymore. I’m about to lose control.” The husky voice and burning eyes clearly indicated his current state.

Shu Luo watched his throat bob. Although it was very sexy, he wasn’t prepared!

Jiang Mu immediately stood up, unbuttoned his shirt, and then turned to walk towards the bathroom.

“Where are you going?” Shu Luo sat up.

“To resolve this.”

Sensing Jiang Mu’s displeasure, and with his head still buzzing, Shu Luo blurted out, “I-I’ll help you!”

Jiang Mu paused, his hand stopping on the button. He turned back and smiled. “Alright.”

Consequently, the innocent Shu Luo was crippled the next morning—his hand was crippled, and his mouth was crippled!

Jiang Mu’s endurance was simply too strong. When Jiang Mu didn’t come out for an hour, Shu Luo’s eyes were already welling up. First his mouth, then his hand. His sacrifice was truly immense (π_π).

Now he was really ruined. His hand was already shaking, and now he couldn’t even attend class, let alone hold a scalpel—he couldn’t even hold a pen.

What about coming back to write his thesis?! He was being bullied!

Looking at the guy tossing and turning endlessly on the bed, Jiang Mu smiled.

He felt quite energetic today.

The weather was great, too.

Seeing the adorable guy still lingering in bed, Jiang Mu gently kissed his forehead and whispered, “Come on, I’ll take you to school.”

Shu Luo glared fiercely at him.

Jiang Mu tidied his hair for him and then took him to school.

Since Jiang Mu no longer lived at the university, he planned to have Shu Luo move to the apartment.

Their university town area didn’t have great distances between schools; it was about a twenty-minute drive.

“…” Shu Luo felt his innocence was at risk after hearing this.

“I can take care of you every day and drive you to school.”

What a nice excuse!

Did he have no bottom line left?!

Liar!

Before Shu Luo got out of the car, Jiang Mu pulled him back for a kiss on the lips and only let him go when he was satisfied.

Shu Luo quickly looked around. Fortunately, no one saw! He then hurried back onto campus.

Jiang Mu smiled lightly.

Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes watched the scene from a distance.
