Seizing Dreams

Zhou Sheng, “Drawn.”

Yu Hao, “The door isn’t......”

Zhou Sheng, “I locked it when we came back, no one will know that you’re stealing food, wanna eat? Yo, look at your expression, you really want to eat it ba?”

Zhou Sheng washed himself very thoroughly and had even specifically trimmed his hair, and a cool mint fragrance emanated from him. He raised his legs, took off one side of his trousers, straddled Yu Hao’s chair slightly as he sat on the desk, and pulled Yu Hao towards him. In the position that Yu Hao was sitting in on the swivel chair, it just so happened to be right in front of him.

Yu Hao’s heart was beating wildly. He sat upright, looked up at Zhou Sheng, hugged his waist with both arms, then lowered his head slightly. Zhou Sheng’s breathing turned ragged, and he started using one foot to gently step on Yu Hao and rubbed him back and forth through his pants along with Yu Hao’s movements. Nearly ten minutes later, Yu Hao quickly got up, but Zhou Sheng got some tissues and helped Yu Hao wipe his face.

“Was it good?” Zhou Sheng smiled.

Yu Hao, “......”

Zhou Sheng wiped Yu Hao clean, then lowered his head to kiss him on his lips. When their lips parted, Zhou Sheng whispered, “After eating the popsicle, your mouth became even more soft and hot, tastes even better now.”

Yu Hao almost choked. His lips were both moist and red, and his face seemed flushed from slight hypoxia, “I......I need to take a bath.”

Zhou Sheng said, “Let’s take one together, you haven’t that yet.”

Yu Hao waved his hand and quickly searched for clothes to change into, “Just now I was stepped on by you, stepped on until......”

Zhou Sheng, “You’re that sensitive?”

Yu Hao blushed, “I’ve been holding it in for too long!”

Yu Hao was washing up in the bathroom. Zhou Sheng knocked on the door, and Yu Hao said, “What is it?!”

Zhou Sheng came in and said, “I’ll wash you.”

Yu Hao’s body was thoroughly wet, and he subconsciously moved in to hide, but Zhou Sheng said, “Ai, what are you being so shy for?” As he spoke, he took Yu Hao by the wrist and forcibly pulled him into his arms.

Yu Hao, “!!!”

Yu Hao’s heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his chest. But Zhou Sheng kept hugging him and buried his face into his shoulders; the two of them were in close proximity, so close that they could hear the beating of each others’ hearts.

“Wash your face.” Zhou Sheng kissed Yu Hao and said, “I’ll plan our first time well.”

Yu Hao felt dizzy again. The slippery sensation of his skin and the shower gel, the warmth and touch of Zhou Sheng’s chest; he didn’t even dare to look down, but Zhou Sheng washed him very carefully, then took a towel and helped him wipe his body.

“You......” Yu Hao could feel Zhou Sheng’s rise again, “Why did it start again?”

“Because I’m in heat.” Zhou Sheng said righteously.

Yu Hao laughed, and Zhou Sheng said, “What are you laughing at? You’re in heat too ah, yo, yours isn’t small either......no wonder you even advertised yourself as a gong.”

“That has nothing to do with size.” Yu Hao didn’t know if he should cry or laugh.

Zhou Sheng, “Need Hubby’s help?”

“No no.” Yu Hao quickly said, “Don’t do it twice in a row, wait for at least forty minutes to an hour in between to give the pituitary gland a break......I learned that in my psychophylaxis class.”

It was Yu Hao’s first time releasing so straightforwardly, and he really wanted to continue. Zhou Sheng said, “That was just a warm up. I’m not bragging, but eight hours straight wouldn’t be a problem.”

Yu Hao, “10 minutes alone is already very tiring okay? And my mouth’s still really sore!”

Zhou Sheng smiled, “Next time, wait for Hubby to plan our first time properly. Get dressed and let’s go eat ba.” As he spoke, he ruthlessly kissed and sucked on Yu Hao’s neck for awhile.

Yu Hao quickly said, “Don’t!” Just as he was about to struggle, Zhou Sheng had already left a hickey on him.

After their bath, Yu Hao changed into a T-shirt and studied the hickey in the mirror. He tried to pull his T-shirt with its round collar up, but he couldn’t hide it no matter what he did. It was really conspicuous too!

Yu Hao, “......”

But Zhou Sheng didn’t seem to mind it. He sat on the chair and smiled, “Hungry?”

Yu Hao’s face was still red. Zhou Sheng obviously found it fun to tease him as he continued, “Are you full now?”

Yu Hao retorted, “I only ate for 10 minutes, it wasn’t enough!”

Zhou Sheng said, “You can’t blame me, you’re too skilful. Say, have you been looking forward to this day for a long time so you practiced for it in secret?”

“I’ve never learnt it before!” Yu Hao became overwrought; he had lost this round.

Zhou Sheng said, “The more times it’s done the more lasting it’ll be ma, okay let’s go ba.” As he spoke, he pulled him in close to kiss him again and couldn’t hold himself back, “The more I kiss you the more I want to continue, this is too fucking addictive......”

“Someone’s calling.” Yu Hao quickly said, “Gege’s still waiting in the restaurant, quick, let’s go.”

Zhou Sheng held Yu Hao’s hand and only let go when they were downstairs. Yu Hao put on his earphones, but the one who called was Huang Ting. That really was a rare guest.

“Why is it that there are some people who were busy talking on the phone half an hour ago.” Huang Ting said on the phone, “Then they suddenly stop taking calls in the next half hour? That doesn’t seem logical at all.”

Yu Hao, “Poker Face Comedian Office Huang, please say what you want to.”

Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng, who also seemed a little suspicious. The two of them got on a public bus and sat at the last row. Zhou Sheng put one arm around Yu Hao and held him close, then took out one side of his earphones to listen to Huang Ting.

“I remember you were looking for a part-time job during the summer vacation.” Huang Ting said, “I have a part-time job I can offer you, would you be interested?”

“We are all law-abiding citizens, so we’re not interested in you or your part-time job.” Zhou Sheng said, “Bye bye.”

Yu Hao answered, “Yes, not interested. Happy holidays Officer Huang, I’m hanging up.”

Huang Ting, “......”

Yu Hao realised that Zhou Sheng always liked to tease Huang Ting, but it did seem quite fun to actually tease him.

“Cough.” Huang Ting said, “Actually I wanted to ask you to do me a favour......”

Zhou Sheng, “Oh? I bet it’s your girlfriend who got you to ask Yu Hao for help ba?”

Yu Hao, “......”

Huang Ting said, “Your inference was made with much meticulous care, but Xiao Yujun isn’t my girlfriend yet. I sent Yu Hao her WeChat ID. This part-time job isn’t dangerous at all, please don’t worry about it.”

Yu Hao, “!!!”

He was right?! Yu Hao stared at Zhou Sheng in disbelief, “Junjun Jie looked for you?”

Zhou Sheng shrugged, “Nope.”

Yu Hao, “Then how did you guess that?”

Zhou Sheng, “Simple. If Huang Ting’s looking for your help with a part-time job, it wouldn’t be because there was a problem with their internal system; he doesn’t seem like the type of person who would casually ask other people for help either, so the only person who could make him do that would be the girl he likes.”

Yu Hao had once mentioned to Zhou Sheng that Huang Ting was wooing the female reporter called Junjun. Usually, there was little chance for a policeman to take the initiative to ask for help.

“Oh yeah.” Yu Hao said.

“If it was a crucial case involving Psychology, they would look for Kaikai.” Zhou Sheng thought about it for a moment, then continued, “We just started our sophomore year, what help could we be? And it just so happens that your previous translations of news articles have just entered the database, so it’s likely that Kaikai recommended you.”

Yu Hao said, “Then I’ll add her?”

Zhou Sheng nodded, and Yu Hao thought that he could just treat it as an ordinary part-time job anyway. After he added Junjun, she greeted him quite quickly, and it was just as Zhou Sheng had deduced —— Yingjiang Daily, that Xiao Yu Jin was in, was undergoing an internal restructure; in order to connect with the online media and young people, a “New Youth” section was added. Xiao Yujun was now the head of this section.

This branch plays an important role by shouldering the burden of letting Yingjiang break out of the traditional media circle where they were just talking to themselves, and getting them to be more aware of contemporary youth culture. It could even become a supplement of Yingjiang Daily in the future, and have its independent public WeChat number and blog.

Their leader’s idea was to let Xiao Yujun choose her own team members — recruiting them from either society or schools was fine, as long as they earnestly did a good job in this section. On the surface it was advertised as a section with content for young people, but it was also targeting their parents, to help them better understand young people in this demographic.

After the target audience was clearly defined, they could undertake some indirect advertising on their public number and newspaper to promote some sealed off schools to parents for curing Internet addiction, so that they can collect money and send their children to be tied up, brainwashed, get enemas, and electric shocks.

Yu Hao, “......”

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng listened to all of Xiao Yujun’s vehement complaints about indirect advertisements, and Xiao Yujun’s voice that was full of vigor said, “I looked for male god and he recommended you. He said that you have a very strong sense of social responsibility, ai I’m too busy for voice messages, let’s talk over the phone ba.”

Xiao Yujun has always been an energetic person in her unit as she lived as her true self. She picked some interns in her unit, but only found a few to be useful. She formed a small team and wanted to look for a year 4 student. But Chen Yekai unexpectedly recommended Yu Hao when she asked him.

Xiao Yujun has always been interested in Yu Hao. After all, the incidents he was involved in were always quite interesting, and when she asked about his proficiency in writing, Chen Yekai vouched for him and said that there wouldn’t be any problems at all.

Zhou Sheng’s mouth twitched from listening to all this.

“But I’m only a sophomore!” Yu Hao said, “And I don’t know how to write a manuscript!”

Zhou Sheng, “You have a Macbook, what are you afraid of?”

Yu Hao, “......”

“What I want is a college student!” Xiao Yujun said frankly, “With a colourful life, candidness, and courage. Male god said that you have no problem writing, so you won’t have a problem. This job has flexible hours, and it’ll all be on special topics. I’ll arrange the times for the interviews, you just need to look for an opportunity then and take occasional leave.”

Zhou Sheng casually said, “I don’t think she wants to ask you to take on a part-time job, but to help by asking Kaikai to act as a consultant for this column ba?”

Realisation suddenly dawned upon Yu Hao, “Then why did she look for me? Wouldn’t it be better to directly look for Chen Laoshi after writing the manuscript?”

“It’s not convenient for Kaikai to step in ah.” Zhou Sheng said, “If a lecturer in the system works as a consultant for a newspaper column, he would need to apply for permission with the school. He would have to take responsibility in case any problems occur with the articles too.”

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng got off the bus and met up with Fu Liqun in the restaurant. Fu Liqun was starving to death and wailed, “Why are you guys so late?”

“We were discussing a part-time job, we definitely didn’t do that in the dorm.” Zhou Sheng snapped his fingers and said, “Boss, open up two bottles of beer!”

Yu Hao, “......”
