Chapter 5 His Bed
I took a quick shower and came out.
Jiang Huai was in the living room.
He saw me. “Want some crayfish?”
I nodded
and hobbled over on crutches.
I’d just sat down when Older Brother returned.
“Jiang Huai, the delivery guy didn’t come? Did you remember wrong?”
Jiang Huai said calmly, “Maybe.”
“Whoa, crayfish!”
Older Brother eyed the plate of perfectly peeled crayfish in front of Jiang Huai. “Thanks, man. You even peeled them for me.”
He reached for one.
Jiang Huai slid the plate in front of me. “Eat.”
I blinked,
then grinned at Older Brother. “Older Brother peeled them for me.”
Older Brother stared at Jiang Huai. “Three years of friendship, and you peel crayfish for my brother you met three days ago, but not for me?”
Jiang Huai ignored him completely. “There aren’t many. Eat less.”
After the crayfish,
I started toward Older Brother’s room.
Jiang Huai stopped me. “Sleep with me tonight. Older Brother’s bed is small. Too cramped for two grown men.”
I agreed instantly.
When we were kids,
sharing a bed with Older Brother meant getting kicked to the floor.
Jiang Huai’s room was much bigger.
I sat on the bed,
played on my phone for a bit.
Jiang Huai finished showering and came out.
He wore only a bath towel.
It hung low.
I could see his defined chest.
At the bedside,
he started undressing.
I quickly turned away.
He smiled. “I sleep naked. You don’t mind, right?”
It was his place.
I couldn’t object.
I didn’t look. “I don’t mind.”
