He is Too Stingy, This Sand Sculpture Cannon Fodder

“It’s the fault of those big underwear.”

The white and plump buttocks were swaying in the field of view, swaying back and forth. The next second, Shu You was shocked and quickly jumped onto the bed, skillfully wrapping himself into a ball, his eyes full of accusation: “Lin Mingxu!”

“I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!”

Lin Mingxu clenched his fists.

“You got my heart, and you want my body too!”

Lin Mingxu’s forehead bulged with veins.

“You, you, you…”

Without another word, Lin Mingxu dropped the underwear in his hand and turned to leave.

“Hey, wait!”

Shu You immediately stopped him, shyly saying: “Can you help me get a new pair of underwear, thank you.”

Lin Mingxu gritted his teeth, “Get it yourself.”

“It’s too cold.”

Shu You blinked innocently, “If my long legs get frostbite and turn into old cold legs, when I’m old, you’ll have to push me in a wheelchair to watch square dancing.”

Lin Mingxu crossed his arms without moving, “You can skip the square dancing.”

“How can that be!” Shu You firmly rejected, “As someone as popular as me, I’ll still be the coolest even when I’m old!”

Lin Mingxu sneered, “I can just break your legs now.”

“…Boyfriend, you don’t love me anymore.”

Shu You pouted and carefully stretched out one leg from under the covers, the fair skin contrasting vividly against the dark bedsheet, the toes tender and fresh-looking. He wiggled them a bit, making them stand out even more.

Lin Mingxu suddenly averted his gaze, “…forget it, I’ll get it for you.”

He walked to the closet and opened the door, casually grabbing a pair of underwear and tossing it to Shu You.

“Boyfriend, you’re so good to me.”

Shu You blinked his eyes and tried to take advantage, “Can you bring me my pajamas too?”

Lin Mingxu couldn’t take it anymore and left the master bedroom in quick strides.

The room was now quiet.

The computer was still running, with files open and ready to be worked on. Lin Mingxu looked at the screen and saw a chat box from Peng Shang’en in the lower right corner.

Peng Shang’en: [Brother Lin, do you eat peaches? My relatives sent me some, it’s a special variety that’s rarely grown in such cold weather…]

Lin Mingxu glanced at it, just about to do something, but stopped for some reason, not taking the next step for a long time.

…Peng Shang’en sent a picture of the fruit.

The large and plump peach was slightly pink, looking delicious and juicy, making one’s mouth water at first glance.

It looked very similar.

Especially similar.

As if it kept flashing in front of his eyes.

Swinging back and forth, back and forth, and then back again.

The swaying made one feel dizzy and infatuated.

Peng Shang’en was still sending messages to himself: “I’ve tried it, it’s pretty good. They sent too many, and my mom told me to give some to my friends…”

Lin Mingxu still didn’t move.

Peng Shang’en: “Brother Lin, shall I bring some over tomorrow? Are you home in the morning?”

“Snap!”

The laptop was closed directly.

…

The next morning, after Shu You got up, he found a plate of peaches on the table.

“Peaches!”

He was surprised and picked up one, looked left and right, and confirmed that it was undoubtedly a real peach, not a prop.

Looking at the weather outside, which was approaching below zero, he asked Lin Mingxu, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, “Where did the peaches come from?”

“… They were sent by Peng Shang’en.”

Lin Mingxu said lightly, “If you want to eat, then eat.”

Shu You didn’t hesitate, took a big bite, and found it to be juicy and sweet, particularly delicious.

He chomped down one quickly, and then picked up the second one to eat. Just as he was about to start, Lin Mingxu came out with an egg pancake, saw the juice all over his lips, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Shu You thought he was disgusted with his appearance, so he wiped his lips casually, making them even redder. He blinked his eyes and said, “Should I go back to my room to eat?”

After all, out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Mingxu’s eyebrows twitched. “Don’t eat in bed.”

The two of them started eating breakfast. Lin Mingxu seemed to realize that the sandwich flavor was too monotonous every day, so he had also changed a few things these days.

This morning, there were egg pancakes, the fermented bean curd that Shu You bought, and some cold dishes.

Shu You ate to his heart’s content, and after finishing, he picked up the third peach. Just as he was happily biting into it, Lin Mingxu walked out of the kitchen with a subtle expression, and glanced at his stomach.

Shu You accurately perceived his meaning, blushed and lowered his head. “It’s yours.”

“Is it?”

Lin Mingxu’s temples throbbed again, and he coldly asked, “How many months has it been?”

Shu You seriously fiddled with his fingers. “Almost three minutes.”

Lin Mingxu: “…”

After finishing the third peach, Shu You finally felt a little full. He got up and planned to take a few steps to move around. Suddenly, he saw that it was snowing outside again.

This is the second snowfall this year, and it’s heavy. Shu You is thinking that he needs to buy an electric blanket, but it’s so cold outside that he doesn’t want to go out. He’s about to open Taobao for some virtual window shopping when the doorbell rings.

Shu You goes to open the door, and it’s unexpectedly Peng Shang’en.

He opens the door and asks in confusion, “Did you drop something valuable?”

What good thing would someone come to get in such heavy snow?

Peng Shang’en hesitates for a moment and says, “No, I came to bring you something.”

Bring something?

It’s rare to meet such a good person these days!

Shu You’s eyes suddenly become warm and friendly as he says, “Come in, come in and sit down!”

Peng Shang’en is surprised by the warm welcome. He takes out two coupons from his pocket and says, “…it’s for a new place that just opened. You should go and check it out when you have time.”

He’s taking advantage of the opportunity to curry favor.

It’s a sure thing that Lin Mingxu will get the investment, and rising again is a foregone conclusion. With his abilities, as long as Peng Shang’en isn’t stupid, he’ll know that having a strong backer is the way to get rich.

Although he’s a rich second-generation slacker, Peng Shang’en still has some foresight.

And…

When giving a gift, it should be the right gift, not just an expensive one.

Before, Lin Mingxu was single and had no breakthrough point. Now that he has Shu You by his side, naturally they will enjoy the couples package.

Shu You takes a look at the coupons and sees that they’re for a newly opened ski resort and that they’ll expire soon.

He’s never skied before – because when it snows, Shu You never goes outside.

But he thinks it might be worth a try.

Shu You takes the coupons into the kitchen, where Lin Mingxu is still washing dishes. The man, wearing home clothes with slightly messy hair, looks more casual than when he’s in formal attire, and the chill around him seems to soften a bit.

A few drops of water run down his strong arm from the rolled-up sleeve, but when he moves, he wipes them away and puts down the last dish. He glances sideways and asks, “What’s up?”

… handsome and calm with a hint of home warmth.

Shu You clears his throat and says, “Peng Shang’en came and brought two ski resort coupons.”

He looks at Lin Mingxu expectantly and says, “I checked, and they’re only valid for today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.”

“Those are just the days I love you.”

Lin Mingxu is getting used to Shu You’s antics and even asks in response, “What about yesterday?”

Shu You looks reluctant and says, “Yesterday is not worth mentioning.”

Lin Mingxu’s temple twitches.

He wipes his hands dry, turns around, and asks without a word, “Do you want to go skiing?”

Shu You nodded and followed him out of the kitchen. In the living room, Peng Shang’en was looking at his phone. When he heard the sound, he looked up and said, “Are you guys going? I have a few friends going there today too.”

“It’ll be more fun with more people. Why don’t you come with us?”

Both of them looked at Lin Mingxu hopefully, like little kids. Lin Mingxu paused for a moment, feeling like he was facing preschoolers.

“…Okay.”

He didn’t have anything else to do today.

“Yay!”

Shu You immediately jumped up, even clapping his hands with Peng Shang’en in agreement. Then he rushed into the master bedroom and pulled out the thickest clothes from the closet: down jackets, woolen socks, thick thermal underwear…

Ten minutes later, a ball-shaped figure walked out, shaking its messy hair on the top of its head and being covered by a knitted hat.

Lin Mingxu looked at him deeply. “Are you going to Antarctica?”

Shu You calmly replied, “I’m afraid of the cold.”

They took Peng Shang’en’s car to the ski resort. On the way, Peng Shang’en, feeling lonely, asked Shu You how to get rid of being single.

Shu You said seriously, “Actually, before I met Lin Mingxu, I was single my whole life.”

“Really?”

Peng Shang’en was curious. “With your outstanding qualities, didn’t anyone pursue you?”

“Some did,” Shu You said, “but I have high standards and I’m strict with myself.”

Peng Shang’en: “…”

It was the first time he had heard someone describe themselves as so picky and fresh. But they were just chatting, so he asked, “Then can you give me some tips?”

“Yes,” Shu You said mysteriously. “I don’t tell just anyone.”

Peng Shang’en was excited. “Please tell me!”

“There are mainly three things,” Shu You said seriously. “Be brave, have thick skin, and have a dark heart.”

Peng Shang’en: ???

It sounded so wrong. He couldn’t help but look at Lin Mingxu in the back seat and whispered, “Is that how you… got Brother Lin?” If it worked, he wanted to try it too.

“No, not really.”

Shu You blushed and lowered his head. “I won Brother Lin’s heart with my true feelings.”

Peng Shang’en: …It’s hard to believe that.

Finally, the car arrived at the ski resort, which was at its peak season and very crowded. But Peng Shang’en had a high-level membership, so they easily entered the changing room.

After changing into their ski clothes, Lin Mingxu walked out and waited for a while, but didn’t see Shu You.

He frowned slightly and turned back to look for him. Walking to the next compartment, he saw a pile of clothes hanging on the door, but there was no sign of anyone coming out.

“Shu You?”

Lin Mingxu tentatively called out. “Are you not ready yet?”

The small door creaked open, and Shu You revealed his furry head, looking embarrassed. “Can you help me, boyfriend?”

He stepped aside to let Lin Mingxu in. When Lin Mingxu took a closer look, he saw only white.

Tender white.
