This is an old residential area. The people living here are mostly elderly grandpas and aunts. Their children have mostly moved to other newly built communities with more complete facilities, but the main reason they continue to live here is: familiarity.
This old community has been around for nearly 20 years since its construction. In the beginning, as one of the newly emerging investment and construction projects, it was something that could only be obtained through good connections. Ypu know, those who managed to buy a unit here at that time were the envy of everyone!
But as time passed, along with the continuous development of the economy and society, and the construction of even better communities in other areas, this neighborhood gradually fell into the category of an “old” community. Additionally, the initial construction didn’t consider everything thoroughly. The transportation here is not very developed, and the narrow roads make it very inconvenient for vehicles to drive and park, so not many people were willing to continue living here, except for some nostalgic elderly folks and those without much extra money.
On this evening, as it was early summer, the weather began to get hotter. Some of the elderly grandparents came out of their homes holding fans and gathered under the big tree in the middle of the community to enjoy the cooling breeze.
For the older generation, their way of leisure is to sit there and chat, gossiping about the latest news. This is a common pastime after meals.
“Hey, have you all heard?” An elderly woman in a floral dress approached the group and asked mysteriously.
“Heard what? Sister Hua, have you gotten some news again?” Another grandmother sitting nearby and knitting a sweater poked her with her elbow gently. “Alright, alright, don’t keep us in suspense, just tell us directly.”
“That’s right, that’s right, Sister Hua, just tell us straight out.” An elderly man holding his young grandson echoed.
Aunt Hua looked at them and then clapped her hands, saying cheerfully, “Okay, I won’t keep you in suspense then. Do you all know the residents of Unit 605 in Building 3?”
“Yes, that’s the father and son household.” The knitting grandmother replied casually. “The father used to be a pretty powerful government employee, but now he’s a complete gambling addict. His wife got fed up and ran off with someone, haven’t seen her return in all these years. As for the son, he didn’t leave much of an impression on me.”
“Ah yes, now that you mention it, I remember ito too,” interjected an elderly man playing chess with someone. “That son used to go to the same junior high school as my grandson. Back then, my grandson told me that boy was very quiet and didn’t interact much with others. He didn’t seem very nice.”
“Well, what can you expect, being raised in a family like that! I say, this is all the fault of the adults!”
“Exactly, exactly. I still remember that when they first moved in, that family seemed so warm and sweet. You don’t know, but many people secretly envied them at that time!”
“That’s true! Alas, the world can sometimes treat people as a joke. Oh right, Sister Hua, you were going to share some news, weren’t you?”
Seeing that they had finished lamenting, Aunt Hua leaned in and lowered her voice, “The news I have is about this family.”
“Huh? What’s happening? Could it be that the man owes a lot of money to someone else again?”
“No no, this time it’s about that family’s son.” Aunt Hua waved her hand and continued, “That kid usually seems pretty quiet, right? But oh, the news I heard, it really left me dumbfounded!”
“Hey? What news? Tell us about it.”
“You see, I went shopping on the street a few days ago. I happened to be waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, and there were people talking next to me. At first, I didn’t pay attention, but after hearing the name of our community, I listened carefully. And what I heard was really shocking.”
“Alright, alright, just get to the main point.”
“I’m getting to it, don’t be impatient. You’ll never guess, they… came to teach that kid not to be a third party!”
“What? A third party? Are you sure you didn’t hear it wrong?”
“What, did he break up a couple and steal the woman away?”
Aunt Hua streched and shook her finger at them: “No no no, if that were the case, it would be better. The problem is, he did break up a married couple, but the one he seduced was the man.”
“What? The man? Sister, are you sure you didn’t hear it wrong?”
Aunt Hua glared angrily: “I may be over 50, but my hearing is just fine! Moreover, the person talking was less than two or three meters in front of me, how could I possibly have heard it wrong!”
“But, but, this man, this… I really can’t believe it!”
“Who can believe it!” Aunt Hua shook the fanin her hand, “Oh right, I also heard that the man he seduced is about the same age as his father, he might even be older!”
“This, this, this… it’s so immoral!”
“Exactly! And there’s even more shocking news! Someone mentioned that this kid has already seduced not one or two, but at least a two-digit number of people!”
“Two-digit number?” The other elders couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, but then they immediately closed their mouths and stiffly changed the subject.
After a thin young man walked past them, the group of elders heaved a sigh of relief. They didn’t know whether he had heard their gossip. After all, it would be very embarrassing if the person involved heard their gossip, right?
“Hey, I say, now that I look at that kid, I feel like the news is true.”
“What do you mean? How so?”
“Did you notice his awkward walking posture just now?”
“Walking posture?”
“Oh… could it be?”
The elders all had a dawning realization on their faces. At the same time, their eyes towards the balcony of Unit 605 of Building 3 changed: Ah, this is indeed a case of “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”! No, to be more precise, it’s a case of “the disciple surpassing the master”! Like parents, like son, how disgusting! From now on, they should stay away from this kid!
With a sound of bang, Yang Jian closed the door of his home with a pale face. His weak body slumped down to the floor. He didn’t understand why everyone knew about this, why?
That’s right, the protagonist of the elders’ gossip was Yang Jian. As usual, he went out because Director Si called him and said he wanted to “play” with him. He didn’t dare to offend his sponsor, and his body also craved for someone to make him feel pleasurable, so he went to the place they had agreed to meet without any hesitation.
After a series of lovemaking, Yang Jian and Director Si took their time to leave carefully from the front and back doors respectively. However, just as Yang Jian was about to reach his old residential area, a man wearing sunglasses walked past him and smoothly slipped a stuffed envelope into his hand.
Yang Jian wanted to turn around and chase after the man, but the stranger had already vanished without a trace. Filled with suspicion, he opened the envelope and found that it actually contained a thick stack of photographs. A hint of uneasy expression crossed his face, and he streched out his fingers tremblingly and pulled out a photo. The photo showed two people doing piston movements, and the familiar faces filled him with alarm.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a group of people pointing and whispering about him. The few scattered words he overheard only heightened his panic. He hastily shoved the photo he had pulled out back into the envelope and rushed home. He didn’t want to hear anything and didn’t want to see anything! Why? Why had things taken such an unexpected turn?
Why did the elderly residents of the community already know about this? Yes, he actually overhead their discussions, which only made him more anxious and uneasy.
Thus, Yang Jian spent a restless night. And for the first time, he was glad that his father was still gambling outside and unlikely to return for a few more days.
However, some matters cannot be ignored simply by ignoring them. With his food out of stock, he had no choice but to go out. He fully covered himself before going out to buy some food. But as soon as he walked out of the house, anyone who saw him would whisper and point fingers behind his back from time to time. This made his steps heavy all of a sudden, and he had no idea how to move forward.
Finally, before his mental defense collapsed, he called Director Si, hoping that he could move out of this community that he had lived for over a decade. But to his dismay, the call went straight to voicemail. It meant the phone of the other side was turned off. The problem is, Director Si was a person who would never turn off his phone, and now this situation happened. It seemed there was an accident. But what could have happened to him?
A dreadful realization dawned on Yang Jian. Had their secret relationship been exposed? But that was impossible. The place they chose was very hidden. How could anyone know it?
Yang Jian drooped his shoulders weakly. When his hand touched the envelope in his pocket, a weak smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: But, if it was really hidden, then where did these high-definition photos in his hand come from?
Just when Yang Jian was pulling his hair in distress, Director Si was being summoned by the disciplinary inspection department for a “tea chat.” Little did Yang Jian know, this was only just beginning…
