In the taxi.
Kecong is thinking back about what Daqing told him earlier. He is holding back his tears and quenching his fists.
Kecong call his mother….
"Mum, where are you now? Can you leave your workplace early tonight? Today is my birthday I hope you can celebrate with me." Kecong said.
"Mum is busy tonight and I will come back very late. You go and celebrate with your friends." Xuefen replied.
Kecong put down the phone and start crying.
"Kecong, what happened?! Why are you crying?! What did your mother say to you?!" Jiahao asked anxiously.
"Hao ge, what..what if my dad said the things are all true?! I can earn money by myself! I don't want my mum to suffer so much just because of me! She..she told me she wants to earn as much as possible to send me to US to see the doctor about my problem!" Kecong said crying.
"Don't worry so much. We will go and see what happen to her." Jiahao replied.
Kecong lean on Jiahao and cry. The taxi driver kept looking at them from the rear mirror.
At the great bund nightclub.
"You wait for me outside. I go in to look for my mum." Kecong said.
"Why not I go with you?" Jiahao asked.
"It's fine. I can go myself." Kecong replied.
Kecong went in to the nightclub.
"Sir what services do you want? Do you have any ladies in mind? Aiyo! You look so young! Are you 18 already?" A lady asked.
"I am looking for Lin Xuefen." Kecong replied.
"She is inside serving a customer. In vip room 5." A lady said.
Kecong walked into room 5 and saw Xuefen and a man having sex. Kecong stared at them with tears. Xuefen wore her clothes….
"Xiao cong, why are you here?!" Xuefen asked anxiously.
"So what dad said is true?! You are a prostitute here just to raise your son?! You need lots of money to send me to the US to do the operation?! If that is so, then I rather die! I don't need such kind of money!? I don't want to study anymore! I go out to work!" Kecong cried and said.
Xuefen pulled Kecong's hands….
"Take off your dirty hands from me!!! Can't you remember how your son was been raped by his own dad!? Yet what are you doing now!? Isn't it the same as me?! You can be a prostitute, I also can be!!" Kecong asked crying.
Kecong pushed Xuefen onto the floor and ran away.
He ran out of the nightclub and dashed out to the main road. Jiahao immediately pulled him back…..
"Are you crazy!? You want to die is it!?" The driver asked.
"Sorry sir, sorry sir." Jiahao replied.
Jiahao slapped kecong face. Kecong wake up to his senses and hugged Jiahao tightly…..
"Hao ge, I..I want to go home!" Kecong cried and said.
"Okay, let's go back to my apartment." Jiahao replied.
"Hao ge, I want to go back to my home to stay tonight." Kecong said softly.
They took a taxi back to the old apartment.
In the small unit.
"I go and take a shower." Kecong said.
Kecong took his clothes and a pair of scissors to the bathroom. Kecong let the water run. Jiahao went out the shared kitchen and took a glass of water to drink. He heard the landlord banging the bathroom door and went over to look.
"Hey! Xiao cong! What are you doing so long in the bathroom! You're wasting so much water! It's already 20 mins!" Landlord said.
Without any hesitation, Jiahao took the keys from the landlord and rushed in. They saw kecong about to slit his left wrist. Jiahao pushed the scissors away….
"What are you doing?! Why are you so silly!?" Jiahao asked anxiously.
"Let me go! I want to die!" Kecong shouted.
Lots of other tenants staring at kecong. Jiahao pull him back to the room.
"Are you crazy?! Why are you hurting yourself?!" jia Hao asked angrily.
Kecong hugged Jiahao and cried badly.
"Are you feeling better? You want to eat something? I go to the nearby mini mart to buy some buns for you." Jiahao asked.
"I want to go out for a walk." Kecong replied.
Jiahao hold Kecong's hands. At that very moment, he felt very warm.
They walked down to the bread store. They bought some buns and milk and went to the nearby park to sit down and eat.
"Here, your favourite sausage bun. And I buy for you your favourite chocolate milk." Jiahao said.
Suddenly, Kecong kisses Jiahao cheek…..
"Jiahao ge, thanks for helping me do so much things." Kecong said softly and shying.
"Nothing to be mention. I am your boyfriend right?" Jiahao asked.
"Boy..boyfriend?! I..I can be your girlfriend?" Kecong asked shockingly.
"Silly you! What nonsense?! You are a guy how can you be my girlfriend?" Jiahao asked smiling.
"But..but I can get pregnant." Kecong said softly.
"Haha! That's true! My special girlfriend." Jiahao replied laughing.
They ate the buns and chat along. An hour later, Jiahao took out a small cake and candle and place it on the table…..
"Now is 11pm still in time to wish my sweetheart, "happy birthday "! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Kecong, my sweetheart, happy birthday to you!" Jiahao singing aloud.
Kecong make a wish and blew the candle.
"What wish did you made?" Jiahao asked.
"I wish Jiahao ge to stay with me forever. I..I want Jiahao ge to be my boyfriend and my hubby. I wish to have a baby with you." Kecong said shyly and softly.
"Really?! Shall..shall we try out tonight? We do it with condom first?" Jiahao asked surprisingly.
Kecong nodded. They kissed each other passionately.
Later they went back to the old apartment to stay overnight.
In the rented room.
"Since no one is in the bathroom, why not we shower together? I have bought the condom from the mini mart. We start with showering first. This is our first time, so if uncomfortable we can do other times in my apartment. My apartment have bathtub." Jiahao asked.
"Okay." Kecong replied.
They took off their clothes, leaving their underwear on and tip toe quietly with their clean shirts to the bathroom.
They locked up the bathroom door.
They took off their underwear together and harassing each other bodies. Jiahao hugged Kecong body. Kecong sadly covers his private parts. Jiahao took off his hands….
"Kecong, I like it, don't need to cover it. I help you to shower your private area." Jiahao said.
"No Jiahao ge, my..my private area is ugly and disgusting." Kecong replied sadly.
Jiahao kisses Kecong face to his body….
"In my eyes you are the most handsome." Jiahao said softly.
They have a passionate hot shower together. Kecong open up freely to Jiahao, totally forgets about the past how his father rapes him.
After shower, they lie naked on the bed.
"Kecong, you're only 16 this year. No regrets? We can do it when you're older next year." Jiahao asked.
"No Jiahao ge, I won't regret at all. I love you. I want to give my body and my everything to you. Even if other people despise me I won't regret." Kecong replied.
"Kecong, don't worry. Jiahao ge promise you, as long as I live, I will not let anyone bully you." Jiahao said.
Jiahao wore the condom and insert his penis to Kecong's vagina. His vagina start to bleed.
"Ah..ah!" Kecong moaned softly.
"You're bleeding. I better stop." Jiahao said.
"No, Jiahao ge, don't stop. I want to feel you inside me. I can endure the pain." Kecong replied softly.
Kecong hugged him tightly and kisses him.
