Chapter 56: An Unexpected Homecoming

The door just opened like that, right in front of Su Xuan.

Su Xuan immediately tensed up, clutching the bath towel tightly with both hands, looking outside in a panic.

A man in a jet-black combat suit slowly walked in.

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

“Bro… Brother… why are you back…”

Su Xuan said in a fluster, his face flushed pink.

He shrank his head down, looking extremely cute.

At this moment, Su Chen was 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, as soon as he opened the door, he saw his little sister… little brother, wrapped in a bath towel, standing under the chandelier.

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

His long eyelashes fluttered, and his face was full of disbelief and panic.

A single bath towel couldn’t cover much, and instead, it sparked one’s imagination even more.

His long legs and jade-like arms were exposed.

His slender, fair fingers were like the most alluring jade carvings, or like the purest things solidified under a layer of white frost.

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

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

His well-proportioned, curvy figure was enough to send one’s imagination running wild.

His body quickly shrank back, making him look even cuter.

Su Xuan curled up, making a cute gurgling sound.

It was as if he was blaming Su Chen for suddenly coming in without knocking.

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

He had lost his usual composure, the calm demeanor he had in times 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, “Ahhh~ don’t look!”

When had Su Chen ever seen such a scene?

A strange feeling welled up in his heart, and the string in his mind was pulled taut, as if it could snap at any moment.

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

Su Chen quickly turned his head away.

Su Chen, who hadn’t even frowned when facing an army of thousands, couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

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

And Su Xuan, who was crouching on the ground, also had a flushed face.

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

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 being able to keep up with the body, the consciousness not being able to keep up with the hands.

By the time the soul caught up with the body, all he could feel was that indescribable embarrassment, the unspeakable pain.

He could only pay the price for his body’s rashness, being mistaken for a girl once again.

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

“Slam…!”

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

Su Chen stood at the entrance, took a breath, and also closed the main door, then walked towards his 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 controlled this perverted behavior.

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 elegant young man had left.

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

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

Memories flooded in like a tide—joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, countless nights and mornings, countless alarm clocks and the full moon that suddenly appeared outside the window.

A feeling of ancient awe for the great power of time welled up in him.

The vast sea had turned into mulberry fields.

The power of time had already made this man, not yet thirty, feel a hint of the vicissitudes of life.

Time, ah, time had changed everything.

Including that elegant youth and that boy with lofty ideals.

The room was very clean, exceptionally clean.

The desk was spotless.

Without a doubt, Su Xuan must have cleaned it.

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

Brother was not here, had never been here, but was fighting in a desolate land hundreds of miles away.

Gradually, the boy grew up.

He had had a detailed life plan since he was young.

But his ambition to become a great warrior encountered a major setback in his life.

That was the issue of the nature of his Phantom Soul.

On that day, he encountered another drastic change in his life.

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

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

His confidence suffered a huge blow, and he would even become a stranger to himself.

At that time, Su Xuan must have really missed his older brother.

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

On the other side, Su Xuan bit his teeth, looking at himself in the mirror, somewhat lost in thought.

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

The recent encounter had plunged him into endless embarrassment, and he must have seen it, his already sizable breasts.

He must think he was a pervert, not wanting to be a proper man and instead wanting to be a woman.

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

Soon, the bath towel fell from his proud figure.

He simply put on a dark black t-shirt.

Looking at the chest binder on the bed, he thought for a moment and decided not to put it on.

If he was going to face himself, then there was no need to use such a thing to deceive himself.

After all, it had already been seen.

Just like that, he simply combed his hair, straightened his clothes, let out a long sigh, and with his hand on the cold doorknob, he 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 dark sky outside, lost in thought for a moment, and then walked out.

“Click…!”

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Xuan tensed up, gripping his pants tightly with both hands, like a child next in line for an injection, quite nervous, but not daring to look back.

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

His alluring back, under the brilliant lights, seemed even more magnificent.

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

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