The Silence Between Them

The door just opened like that.

Right in front of Su Xuan, it was opened.

Su Xuan immediately tensed up, his hands gripping the bath towel tightly, his mind in a panic as he stared nervously outside.

A man in an inky-black combat uniform slowly walked in.

Seeing that familiar face, Su Xuan subconsciously let out a breath of relief, but then he quickly seemed to remember something, and his grip on the bath towel tightened.

“Bro… Bro… why are you back…”

Su Xuan stammered, his face flushed with a pink glow.

He ducked his head down, looking extremely cute.

At that moment, Su Chen was completely stunned by the scene before him.

He hadn’t been home in years and had wanted to take a good look at the changes in the house.

However, the moment he opened the door, he saw his sister… brother, wrapped in a bath towel, standing under the chandelier.

His crystal-clear, pinkish skin shone under the light.

His long eyelashes fluttered, his face filled with disbelief and panic.

A single bath towel couldn’t cover much; in fact, it only fueled one’s imagination more.

His long legs and jade-like arms were exposed.

His ten slender, white fingers were like the most alluring jade carvings, or like the purest things, frosted over and solidified.

His long legs were more deadly than those of a dancer who had trained for years.

More importantly, without the seal of the chest binder, that pair of already sizable little white rabbits was squeezed for space inside the towel.

That curvy figure gave rise to endless遐想.

His body quickly curled up, making him look even cuter.

Su Xuan huddled up, making a cute gurgling sound.

It was as if he were blaming Su Chen for coming in so suddenly without knocking or anything.

Su Xuan himself didn’t know what was wrong with him.

His usual composure was gone, as was the calm he had when facing moments of crisis.

Facing his brother, whom he hadn’t seen in years, Su Xuan was in a panic.

At the same time, Su Xuan couldn’t help but scream, “Aahh~ Don’t look!”

When had Su Chen ever seen such a scene?

A strange feeling surged in his heart, and a string inside him was pulled taut, as if it could snap at any moment.

“Oh, oh, I’m not looking… you hurry back to your room and get dressed.”

Su Chen quickly turned around.

Su Chen, who hadn’t even frowned in the face of a thousand-strong army, couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

This feeling… it was just like having a little sister.

And Su Xuan, squatting on the ground, was also blushing.

He knew his words and actions just now had been too feminine, but he couldn’t help it himself.

Reason told him he was still a boy, but his body couldn’t help but do things that only girls would do.

This was a case of the soul not keeping up with the body, of consciousness not keeping up with the hands.

By the time the soul caught up with the body, he could only clearly feel that indescribable embarrassment, the pain of not being able to explain it.

He had to pay the price for his body’s recklessness and be mistaken for a girl once again.

Su Xuan quickly stood up from the ground and stumbled into his room.

“Bang…!”

It was the sound of Su Xuan’s bedroom door slamming shut.

Su Chen stood at the main entrance and let out a sigh of relief.

He closed the main door and then walked towards his own former bedroom.

The two brothers’ bedrooms were next to each other.

As Su Chen passed by Su Xuan’s bedroom, his heart pounded, and his ears couldn’t help but listen for any sounds from inside.

But Su Chen quickly brought this perverted behavior under control.

He focused his attention on the bedroom he had returned to after so many years.

He turned on the light.

Everything inside was so familiar, as if time had been sealed, sealing the moment that graceful young man had left.

In the past five years, Su Chen had come back to see it, but he had never stayed for long, had never slept in his own bedroom again.

He had only come in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Memories rushed forth like a tide: joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, countless nights and mornings, countless alarm clocks and the full moon that would suddenly appear outside the window.

An ancient feeling of reverence for the great power of time welled up inside him.

The seas turn into mulberry fields; the power of time had made this man, not yet thirty, feel a hint of the vicissitudes of life.

Time, oh, time changes everything.

Including that graceful young man and that boy with lofty ideals.

The room was very clean, exceptionally clean.

The desk was spotless.

Needless to say, it must have been cleaned by Su Xuan.

A scene appeared in Su Chen’s mind: a young boy, cleaning the room every day, asking with anticipation every time he opened the door, “Is Big Brother here?”

Big Brother was not here, had never been here.

He was fighting in the barren lands hundreds of miles away.

Gradually, the boy grew up.

He had a meticulous life plan from a young age.

He, who aspired to be a great warrior, encountered a major setback in his life.

That was the problem with the nature of his Phantom Soul.

On that day, he once again encountered a drastic change in his life.

After the sacrifice of his parents, his Phantom Soul also exceeded his expectations.

It must have been very painful, with no one to confide in.

His confidence must have suffered a huge blow, and he might even have become a stranger to himself.

Su Xuan must have really missed him, his big brother, at that time.

Su Chen sighed, took off his inky-black combat uniform, lay down on his bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

On the other side, Su Xuan bit his teeth, staring at himself in the mirror, a little lost in thought.

Su Xuan didn’t know how to face his brother.

The encounter just now had plunged him into endless embarrassment, and he must have seen it, the already somewhat sizable breasts.

He must think he was a pervert, choosing to be a woman instead of a proper man.

Su Xuan bit his lip, a little hard, but still didn’t break the skin.

Quickly, the bath towel fell from his stunning body.

A simple, deep-black t-shirt was thrown on.

He looked at the chest binder on the bed, thought about it, but decided not to put it on.

If he was going to face himself, then there was no need to use this kind of thing to deceive himself.

After all, he had already been seen.

Just like that, he simply combed his hair, straightened his clothes, let out a long sigh of relief, gripped the cold doorknob, and walked out of the bedroom.

Su Xuan walked nervously to the living room and sat down on the sofa under the bright lights.

In Su Chen’s room, Su Chen, who had gradually regained his composure, slowly sat up from the bed.

He looked at the inky sky outside, his thoughts unknown, and then walked out.

“Click…!”

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Xuan’s nerves tensed.

His hands gripped his pants tightly, like a child next in line for an injection.

He was very nervous, but didn’t dare to look back.

Su Chen walked out of the room and saw Su Xuan, already dressed in normal clothes, sitting on the sofa.

That back view, which sparked the imagination, seemed even more brilliant under the bright lights.

Su Chen composed himself, walked to the sofa, and sat down on Su Xuan’s left.

Both of them opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but then hesitated.
