138 Cousin Vs Brother
When An Xiulan, Han Zixin, Lu Xuan and Song Xueyun were at summer camp, Han Nanxian was at his home. His father decided that he would be staying at home this week and working from there, he had no other option but to cancel the last-minute summer camp idea even though he wanted to go after Song Xueyun almost begged him to join. He wasn’t feeling good after refusing her but even she knew how insistent and stressing his father could be at times.
Of course, his father had nothing but concern and care for his son’s health only, still, sometimes, he felt as if his childhood was getting snatched from him because of one illness that had already taken everything from him.
Currently, he was resting in his room.
Why? He sneezed this morning and his father made calls to all of his doctors and began asking if his son’s cancer was back.
He sneezed, not because his illness was back, but because he got a simple dust allergy.
But who could make his father see such a simple thing?
Never mind, he would just sleep all day. Again, he had been resting and sleeping for almost eighteen years of his life. He was tired now. He wanted to play sports and do all the reckless things that teenagers at his age did.
But he didn’t want to make his father suffer again. He had already made everyone worried about him. He didn’t have in himself to tell his father that he didn’t like his life mapped out and that he would like to be the boss of his life once.
He just…didn’t want to disappoint his father.
To not disappoint his father, he had to live his life the way his dead mother lived or expected him to live.
“Hey, bro!”
Han Nanxian groaned when someone entered his room without knocking.
“I heard from uncle that you are sick. I came to visit you, “Shawn said as he fell on the bed beside him.
“I’m sick, “Han Nanxian said monotonously. “If you get close to me, I might pass my virus to you.”
Shawn stood up at a frightening speed. “Damn, I don’t want to get cancer at such a young age. I don’t want to die.”
Han Nanxian closed his eyes, pitying his dumb cousin. Thankfully, he didn’t take the idiot’s words into account as the words spoken weren’t something one should say to a cancer survivor.
Sometimes, he wondered how Shawn and he could share the same half blood? Shawn’s mother was his mom’s younger sister. So, both of them were maternal cousins. Growing up, he was only close to Han Zixin and all these cousins were too afraid to come near him or their mothers never let them come near them.
His mother’s family was based abroad and so Shawn’s mom married there too and formed her family there. It could be the reason why his maternal cousin was sometimes too open-minded or dare he say rude.
“Why are you here?” Han Nanxian asked.
“Mom said you are sick and I should visit you more often to take care of you, “Shawn replied with a smile.
Han Nanxian knew better than to trust his cousin’s easy and innocent smiles. He would be damned if he believed a single word that left the boy’s mouth.
“The truth, “Han Nanxian said as he closed his eyes. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Cousin, do you think I am here for my benefit?” Shawn’s voice was a bit offended.
“If you are here to visit me, you have done it. Close the room when you leave the room, “Han Nanxian indifferently said.
“Fine. Fine. I am here to tell you that I’m officially joining your school after the summer vacation. I’m here to have you help me in my studies, “Shawn said with an embarrassed smile. “Although you are always sick, you have decent grades. I’m sure you can help me with the syllabus. I have to take three monthly tests after summer vacation. Please help me.”
When Han Nanxian didn’t say anything, Shawn went on, “Cousin, I can handle other subjects since you know I studied in the states and my grades are obviously better than the top students of Jingyuan High. You know us foreign students are more advanced with our grades and syllabus. All you have to do is show me what the syllabus is and how you attempt questions in exams. I will be fine.”
“Sure, ” Han Nanxian said to his cousin.
“Cousin, do you have a girlfriend?” Shawn asked.
“I don’t, “Han Nanxian said indifferently.
Shawn gasped. “Oh my god, how old are you? Eighteen? I’m seventeen and I have a girlfriend. You can’t be a virgin at Eighteen, right?”
Han Nanxian blinked once, twice as words settled in his head. “Forget about your life in the States. It’s china. If you say those words aloud at your age, someone will file a harassment case against you. Also, Shawn, go back to the states. Jingyuan high has a ban on puppy love. You get in a relationship in school and you get expelled instantly.”
Shawn looked at his brother with wide eyes. “You are kidding, right?”
“You can always look on the internet, “Han Nanxian smiled.
“My Google doesn’t fucking work!” Shawn shouted.
Han Nanxian threw him his phone and chucked, “Welcome to China, cousin. The land of Confucius and Sun Tzu.”
A moment later, Shawn asked, “You know her, right?”
“Who?” Han Nanxian furrowed her brows.
“Ivy, the girl I saw at the party and you dragged me away, “Shawn said. “Cousin, she used to like me in school. We were in the same class. I think I might give her a chance to chase me in school. After all, I’m Shawn Chen. The Shawn Chen who is going to be the heartthrob of Jingyuan High.”
