Song Zhi Xu quietly finished smoking a cigarette and stood for a long time before walking back to the sofa. 

Lin Ran on the sofa, perhaps because he had taken the medicine, so he already felt much better, although his face still looked a bit ghastly, at least he was no longer in pain.

“Come on, I’ll take you upstairs so you can go to sleep.” Song Zhi Xu stood beside the sofa and spoke to the person sitting on the sofa who was looking at him timidly. 

Lin Ran nodded and immediately stood up, holding his backpack bag in his arms.

He followed Song Zhi Xu behind to go upstairs and he could still smell the smell of tobacco coming from Song Zhi Xu’s body. It was a bit choking and Lin Ran was not used to it, but he didn’t say anything because he could vaguely feel that the man in front of him seemed to be in some kind of bad mood as he didn’t know why.

Song Zhi Xu took him to the guest room next to his own room and changed the bed sheets for him.

“It’s done, go to sleep then! I’ll be next door, just go look for me, if you need anything.” 

Lin Ran nodded obediently but before Song Zhi Xu was about to leave, he pulled him back.

“Song Zhi Xu, you won’t…make Ran Ran leave, right?” 

Song Zhi Xu looked at him and replied to him with “Hn” before leaving, closing the door for him.

Lin Ran stayed in the room by himself, took out his bag again, opened it and took out a picture of a family of three from inside, wiped the picture with his sleeve and spoke to it. 

“Papa, Mama, Gege, we’re not in the same place anymore. Big brother said he wanted Song Zhi Xu to take care of Ran Ran, so he changed the places.” A smile appeared on Lin Ran’s face as he thought of Song Zhi Xu before he talked in a low voice again, “Song Zhi Xu is a good person and isn’t angry with Ran Ran, so Ran Ran wants to be good to him too.”

The next day was a weekend so Song Zhi Xu did not have to go to the company. It was a rare occasion as he did not have to get up early and lay in bed for a little longer, quietly thinking about Lin Mu he had seen yesterday. 

After graduating from school, Lin Mu went back to Haicheng while he stayed in the capital so he hadn’t seen him for a long time. This time, it was only because he heard that the head of the Lin family and his wife had passed away in a car accident so that he rushed over there.

But seeing Lin Mu’s appearance, he was still a bit distressed. 

After some thought he picked up his mobile phone and made a call.The call was answered. The voice on the other side still had a bit of sleepiness. He must have just woken up.

“Zhi Xu? Why are you calling me?” The man’s voice had a slightly sexy low and hoarse voice. 

“Do me a favour.” Song Zhi Xu said directly.

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhi Xu sat on his bed and suddenly heard a slight rattling from outside. He looked at the time before finally getting up from his bed. 

……

The housekeeper was not at home, so no one was cooking breakfast for them. Lin Ran was probably already hungry right now. 

He dressed and tidied up before walking out of his bedroom, but he was immediately dumbfounded as soon as he reached the stairs.

Downstairs in the living room, Lin Ran was wearing a plain white shirt as he sat on the floor with his buttocks stuck out. The important thing is Lin Ran’s lower part of body wore nothing. His buttock was bared naked and facing him. He could even easily see the butt crack and the naked body under the shirt. 

Song Zhi Xu coughed lightly.

Lin Ran immediately turned his head at the sound. He revealed a bright smile as soon as he saw him, holding a wipe cloth in his hand. There were still water stains on the floor next to him, where he had just wiped there just now. 

“You’re wiping the floor?” Song Zhi Xu frowned. He hadn’t gotten to the point of letting Lin Ran personally wipe the floor.

“Auntie said that you have to wipe the floor once a day, wipe the furniture all over every three days, and sweep the yard every week.” Lin Ran looked around and pouted his lips, “But your house is too big, so I need to start earlier.” 

That was how he was before, he had to work every day, if not he would go hungry.

“Then what about your clothes?” Song Zhi Xu asked again. 

“I just washed the clothes… I didn’t have any clothes to change into so I wore Song Zhi Xu’s shirt. After my clothes dry, I’ll wash your shirt clean and return it to you.” Lin Ran was somehow nervous as he peeked at Song Zhi Xu.

He didn’t go through his consent yet so Lin Ran was afraid that Song Zhi Xu would be angry, but he really didn’t have any other clothes. That one cloth, he had worn it since he came back from abroad which he hadn’t changed it for quite a few days. 

Song Zhi Xu also realized that he had overlooked this matter. Lin Ran had come with him carrying a backpack bag and beside that, nothing else.

He didn’t say anything and went straight down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen. 

Lin Ran looked at him. He thought that Song Zhi Xu was angry, so he hurriedly got up from the floor to follow him. Following him as he went into the kitchen before standing beside him and then apologized to him in a low voice.

“I… I’m sorry, Song Zhi Xu, I’m sorry, I… I’ll take it off now and give it back to you. I only wear it for a while.” Lin Ran somewhat in a rush and began to unbutton it. 

When Song Zhi Xu turned around, Lin Ran had already unbuttoned the third one. His fine white neck and delicate collarbone were exposed. Thinking of the scene he had just seen a moment ago, Song Zhi Xu’s body tightened up and he quickly took hold of his wrist.

“It’s okay, there’s no need to take it off, wear it properly!” Song Zhi Xu forced himself to avert his eyes and lowered his head. 

Song Zhi Xu is 188cm tall. Lin Ran stood in front of him with the top of his hair only reaching his shoulders, looking thin and small. Song Zhi Xu’s shirt worn by him hanging down where it could cover his thighs.

Underneath were slim straight legs with little flesh, probably because he was nervous so his body became tense. His round ten toes gouged on the floor, forcing out a smear of pink blood colour. 

“Go to my room and find a change of clothes. We’ll go buy clothes after breakfast.” Song Zhi Xu pushed Lin Ran out of the kitchen.

“Hm?” Lin Ran was somewhat surprised, Song Zhi Xu didn’t seem to be angry with him. Moreover, he was going to take him out to buy clothes. 

By the time he was about to turn back and ask him again, the kitchen door had already closed in front of him, Lin Ran had to go upstairs to find clothes.

In the kitchen, Song Zhi Xu propped his hands on the counter as it took him a while to suppress the restless feeling in his body. 

Lin Ran was six years younger than him and moreover he was a little fool, just like a child, but he was surprised that he had feelings for Lin Ran.

It seemed that he had been alone for too long.
