I'm Not Shouldering This Blame [BL]

Ch. 5

STB: Chapter 5 - Flaw

Lu Zhao had been afraid of him since childhood, Jian Hua had always been aware of this point.

Lu Zhao dared to knock on the door of Jian Hua’s home and shout at Jian Hua. However, as long as Jian Hua looked at him with dissatisfaction, Lu Zhao would immediately deflate like a ball.

It was common in small fights. However, Lu Zhao wasn’t the same as others. He was really afraid of Jian Hua. His face looked fine, but all types of small motions exposed his weak heart.

Jian Hua’s parents once scolded him. ‘Did you bully Uncle Lu’s baby?No? Then why is that child scared when you stare at him?’

Lu Zhao had given a serious explanation. ‘Auntie, Uncle, Jian Hua didn’t bully me.’

Jian Hua’s parents looked at someone else’s child who was more sensible and also helped conceal their son’s actions. His mother and father smiled and gave candy to Lu Zhao, while they hit Jian Hua.

Jian Hua wouldn’t lose to this trash, he would show him! The next day, Jian Hua instructed his classmates at school to knock out two of Lu Zhao’s teeth. The kid was very good-natured and only said that he fell.

At the age of 17, due to the turmoil from the financial crisis, the Jian and Lu family businesses suffered a complete loss. They owed millions to the bank and could only sell everything. They couldn’t continue high school, so Jian Hua and Lu Zhao dropped out of school to work and support their families.

What could they do with a junior high school education? They worked at construction sites, acted as couriers and were apprentices at a barbership.

They were born in good families, so there were many things to get used to. The people who used to treat them as brothers disappears, causing their personalities to sharpen and their hearts to feel bitter.

Jian Hua changed. He was no longer impetuous. He always remained calm and was good at enduring things. The essence of his personality was still there but he polished it into a sleek and transparent appearance, while still disdaining some rules.

In comparison, Lu Zhao was more flexible.

When he was an apprentice, he flattered his master. When he was a labourer, he would spend time eating or smoking cigarettes. His ability to be lazy and shirk responsibilities was the best, but he didn’t forget to give benefits to Jian Hua.

It was reasonable to say that sharing such a hard experience should increase the good feelings between the two people.

However, Lu Zhao always gave Jian Hua the weird feeling. It wasn’t the attitude of sharing, but the appearance of mercy. Sometimes it felt like Jian Hua was a business Lu Zhao was investing in. He always inadvertently exposed something with his eyes or his gestures and he was too eager.

If Jian Hua laughed, Lu Zhao was overjoyed. If Jian Hua went to eat with people and didn’t take him, Lu Zhao would sulk and be unhappy for several days.

It was clearly wrong!

Jian Hua confirmed that Lu Zhao wasn’t gay, that boy was only interested in beauties with a C cup or higher. It was like he wanted Jian Hua’s most trusted person to be him. If someone went near Jian Hua, he would try his best to get them away from each other.

Jian Hua couldn’t think of any good plans for himself and his mother died. His father couldn’t withstand the blow of his business becoming bankrupt and drank himself to death. After clearing the bank loans, Jian Hua was alone without a home or a small piece of land. He was free but if he didn’t find anything he was interested in, he wouldn’t be able to succeed in the future.
