What Was Worth A Heart

Chapter 23 - Is That A Blush I See.

"Before?" Gion asked when he saw the dazed Shao Jun. They were still slowly walking back to the bus stop where Shao Long was waiting. Livio was walking at the back while Gion heloed Shao Jun.

"Huh? Oh yeah, before our father succeeded" Shao Jun gave a slight smile. He remembered the knife being so close to his skin that day. The sound of the contact between Shao Long's cheek and their father's palm. It ramg so.loud and clear that it was almost impossible to not whimper at least a little. It sounded painful, but Shao Jun would never know. He was never slapped before. Shao Long wouldn't let anyone slap him anyway.

"He did? How?" Gion asked.

"Uhhhh.........they say parents can tell twins apart just by touching them! He's our father anyway. If there's anyone can tell us apart, it'd be him" Shao Jun felt like vomiting as he said this. What parent! All that man had been was everything other than a real parent.

"Really? How about your mother?" Gion glanced at him.

Shao Jun slightly flinched "Uhh she...... she's gone".

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that" Gion raised a brow, not expecting this reply.

"No no, it's not like she's dead or anything. I'm sure she's alive, we just don't know where she is" Shao Jun shook his head immediately.

"How do you know she's alive if you don't know where she is?"

"Phone calls without tracking location. It's quite complicated. Neither her or our father wanted us to meet. You can say it's like a...........live hate long-distance relationship! Ahahaha!" In all honesty, he was starting to sweat like mad, fearing for the worst. If Shao Long hears of this, he would slap himself.

"..........I take it as you don't want to say it" Gion rolled his eyes.

Instantly, Shao Jun felt like he was betraying this person "Aiyaaa it's not like I don't want to tell you, I just...... can't. If I can, you might be the first to know!" Shao Jun grinned.

"Oh? And to what do I owe this privilege?" Gion smirked.

"You're the most trustworthy person next too Shao Long and Xueyang. And probably the most reliable. Maybe I'll tell Alex next. But I wonder how he'll react? Not very good I guess" Shao Jun began his ranting, unknowingly praising the Italian prince, and had successfully made him blush a little.

"We've just met" Gion said, averting his eyes.

"Yes, we've just met and now you're helping me walk even though you're tired right now" Shao Jun smirked.

"I'm not tired!"

"Yeah, and your arm's trembling by the way" Shao Jun said.

"It's not!"

"Master, I can do it for you, you know" Livio sweatdropped. Shao Jun turned to Livio in an excited manner, saying "Livio, right?! You're so tall! Xueyang is taller than you though. And why is your hair grey? Do you like running? Can you teach me how to run?!"

Gion, "........."

Livio,"........"

Shao Jun ".........😆😆😆"

"I'll help you" Livio smiled as he took Shao Jun from Gion. Gion hesitated at first, but seeing how this super excited cinnamon roll couldn't shut his mouth, he decided that he valued his ears and just let him go.

"Livio, do you think you can be taller than Xueyang? He always says that Shao Long and I had stopped growing already! Look look, I can't even reach your ear! Looking up is so tiring. Is your eye blue? Cool! I've never seen one so close before in China! Charles has blue eyes too, but I don't like his hair. They're too spiky. Xueyang said he looks like a durian taking the shape of it's shell!"
