Chapter 11: Spring Dream

Dirty adult thoughts? If it were not for fear of character collapse, DuYan felt that he could change into a black question mark face for HeJin to see.

Just exactly who here was dirty? In the original movie, who was the scumbag that got drunk, didn’t take protective measures and got someone pregnant?

DuYan really didn't understand HeJin’s brain circuit, this bear child. He was just doing what a guardian should do, by reminding him not to do anything out of the ordinary when he was still a minor. How did it become him having dirty thoughts?

DuYan really didn't know what to say this time, so he looked at HeJin in silence.

The scene was a bit awkward for a while.

HeJin was standing before the desk. The 16 year old boy was almost 1.8 meters. Although he was still in the developmental period, and a little thin, he still had an oppressive momentum.

DuYan watched his ears slowly turn red, and the redness quickly spread from the tips of his ears to his face, until the whole face was covered with a layer of gorgeous rouge.

No way. HeJin was this innocent? Don’t children nowadays mature early? There were countless 13-14 year olds who watched those films, and there were even 15-16 year olds who already had actual experience.

One must know that in the past few years, HeJin lived the life of a wealthy second-gen in the dark. There was plenty of money to spare. If it weren’t for his nature being not bad, he would have already gone crooked.

DuYan always thought that even if HeJin was inexperienced, he would definitely have heard a lot of excessive obscene words when he was mixing outside, so he just used the words "go to bed" just now.

DuYan felt that if he didn’t speak, HeJin might die of shame on the spot, “My words are just advice as a guardian and have no other meaning.”

HeJin also felt that there was something wrong with him. He only felt that his face was very hot. In his heart, he felt that his own actions were too unlike that of a lofty man.

He responded stiffly, "Oh."

Then he angrily opened the door of the study. But after he thought for a bit, he turned back and said, “I’ve said it before, Fang Xiangxiang and I are ordinary friends."

DuYan stared at the door that was slammed close, dumbfounded. This child’s anger was quite big. However, after thinking about it, he could understand. In the movie, there was a monologue describing HeJin’s thoughts on Fang Xiangxiang in high school.

To HeJin, Fang Xiangxiang was like a pure white secluded orchid in a deserted valley. Beautiful and refined. Anything worldly had nothing to do with her.

So what he said just now probably offended HeJin.

However, some concepts still had to be deeply embedded into HeJin's values, otherwise it would be too late after things already happened. For example, correct adolescent sex education, such as while dating, have to be honest and loyal to the other party when in a relationship, etc.

DuYan was not going to give up his plan on giving HeJin a correct adolescent sex education.

On HeJin’s side, after he closed the door of the study, he walked to his room calmly.

As soon as he closed the door, he leaned against the door and sat down. He could only feel his chest pounding hard.

He also didn't know why he overreacted. He obviously heard these words when he was messing around with Ma BoYuan and others before. He had also heard nastier words said before.

Although HeJin didn’t participate in these jokes, he also wouldn’t wouldn’t get so angry from hearing these words.

But the moment when DuYan, with his cold face and those pale yet beautiful plush lips spit out those three words “go to bed”, HeJin felt as if something had exploded next to his ears.

Then the bottom of his heart was like a volcanic eruption, and the fierce emotions gushed out like lava. He was immediately flooded of his reason, and he shouted those words.

"Really! Where were there any guardians like him!” HeJin pounded on the floor angrily, "Not one bit--Not one bit decent!”

Early the next morning, HeJin woke up a bit early.

He opened his eyes and felt that today's bed was particularly soft. The breeze blowing in from the window should have been cool, but he felt that the whole room was full of this soft and ambiguous atmosphere.

Maybe it was because of the dream last night. Oh right, what did he dream of last night?

HeJin’s eyes suddenly widened and he placed his hand on the quilt in disbelief.

His hand felt around, and it was ice-cold and moist.

"No way right? Why is there such a shameful thing?”

HeJin of course couldn’t not know what was going on. He first had this type of dream in the second year of junior high. Afterwards, he knew that he needed to manually relieve himself every now and then so as to not cause this kind of embarrassing situation.

Compared with his peers, HeJin was not too interested in this aspect.

On weekdays, he liked sports. Play ball, boxing, jogging, he did everything. So except for the first time he accidentally soiled the sheets when he was young and ignorant, he had never been in that embarrassing situation ever again.

He didn't watch anything too extreme yesterday. Why did he suddenly have a spring dream in the middle of the night?

Just exactly what did he dream about? HeJin simply got up, and pondered while sitting cross-legged. Usually after waking up, most people rarely remembered their dreams, especially such chaotic dreams with little plot.

No matter how much he tried to recall it, he could only remember a vague shadow.

He could only remember that the person in the dream was very white and the eyes were nice to look at.

This was normal. HeJin knew his own preferences very well. He liked white skin, black hair, and watery and shy looking eyes.

But last night’s dream seemed a bit different. Those eyes didn’t seem to contain a puddle of water at all. On the contrary, they looked like something colder than water covered with a thin layer of ice.

From beginning to end, those eyes were cold and didn’t fluctuate.

HeJin shook his head. He had a feeling that if he continued digging, he would find something that wasn’t a particularly good thing. The beast-like intuition stopped him from delving into his dream last night.

Forget it. If I can’t remember then just drop it. It was only a dream.

This was not the time to think about it. Since it was still early, he should secretly wash his underwear.

Just yesterday, he was angered by DuYan’s dirty adult thoughts, but this morning he soiled his underwear. Why did HeJin feel as if his face was slapped a few times.

This kind of shameful thing must not be found out.

He rolled over and got out of bed, changed his pants, grabbed them, and went into the bathroom.

HeJin washed his underwear 5-3=2 (1). He imagined a scene of a lone underwear hanging up on the rooftop. It was simply a “300 taels of silver are not buried here” kind of situation (2).

It was better to take it to dry after washing. HeJin took the washed underwear to go out and reached towards the doorknob.

He recalled something else. DuYan, this person had to run every morning. If he was seen in the laundry room drying a pair of underwear...

This kind of thing, just thinking about it was so embarrassing that he wanted to be flung to the four winds (3)! No, this absolutely couldn’t happen.

At this time, HeJin hated that he didn't have a habit of sleeping in pajamas. His eyes fell on the school uniform left aside.

I got it, just wash the school uniform with it. As a student of Nanwai, students were required to wear school uniforms every day. He had accidentally gotten the school uniform wet and was taking it to dry. The reason was perfect, and he could also brush up on his uncle's impression of him as a good student.

HeJin was simply impressed by his wit.

DuYan was a very self-disciplined person. He wakes up at six o'clock every day, and then runs around the community two times.

Today was also no exception. After the morning run and taking a shower, DuYan would bring his changed clothes to the laundry room.

Although the family hired part-time workers to take care of cleaning and cooking, DuYan’s room was off limits. So the clothes DuYan changed out of were taken to the laundry himself.

The laundry room was on the second floor, close to the roof. HeJin's room was also on the second floor, but he never got up so early. The aunt had already come, and was preparing breakfast on the first floor.

So when DuYan opened the door, he didn't expect someone to be in the laundry room, and pushed on the door as he usually did.

He pushed once, but the door didn’t open. It seemed that something was causing the door to be stuck. DuYan subconsciously exerted force and heard a loud noise coming from behind the door, as if something fell to the ground.

DuYan opened the door, and saw HeJin’s whole being lying on the ground, as if he had fallen into dog shit.

"HeJin?"

HeJin got up from the ground. He couldn’t understand how he had fallen to the ground. Just now he was guarding the dryer, waiting to take out the clothes so that DuYan wouldn’t find any traces.

As a result, because he wasn't used to getting up so early, he fell asleep as he looked on. Then afterwards, he was awakened by the pain on his face.

"Apologies." DuYan looked at HeJin’s muddleheaded look and stretched his hand out to pull him, “You woke up so early to wash your clothes?”

The dryer was currently working. DuYan glanced over casually, and it seemed to be HeJin's school uniform inside.

HeJin subconsciously grabbed DuYan's hand, but came to his senses when he heard the three words “wash your clothes”. He suddenly retracted his hand, turned over and got up.

"Who--who got up early in the morning to wash underwear!"

The sound of the dryer was a bit noisy, and DuYan couldn’t clearly hear what HeJin said, “What?”

HeJin really wanted to swallow his talking nonsense tongue down, and quickly corrected himself, "I just accidentally got the school uniform wet. The school is so annoying. If I don’t wear the uniform, I can’t enter.”

"Don’t you have two sets of school uniforms?" DuYan was only asking casually.

He just thought that this child was quite strange. He got up early in the morning to wash his clothes, and was waiting for it to dry.

"..." HeJin looked as if he had become stupid.

He stood there and was silent for a moment, and finally exploded.

"I like this one, and I want to wear this one today! If I don’t wear this one then I can’t go to school!”

"Yes, you can. Do as you please." DuYan deeply felt that there was a deep generation gap between himself and teenagers like HeJin.

From yesterday's dirty adult incident, to today’s school uniform, the two people’s thinking were not on the same channel.

DuYan could only explain it as the piece of clothing probably had some meaning to HeJin.

DuYan looked at HeJin’s angry leaving back, and for the first time he felt powerless as an old father.

Unless the generation gap was solved, the adolescent sex education would be pushed off another day. After that, the relationship between HeJin and Fang Xiangxiang will lead to tragedy again...

On a new day, DuYan was still worried about how to put adolescent sex education on the agenda.
