Chapter 20: Chrysanthemum Garden (1)
"Do you want to see my chrysanthemum garden?"
"That"
Xiaojun gulped. His mind had truly travelled far and wide when Long Shan said that. He was an avid reader of that website, Chrysanthemum Garden, to read many translated BL books. Did this mean Long Shan was also a Fudanshi and love reading BL books like him?
'Aiyo, no, no, no, of course not! How could a powerful man have a weird hobby like that?' Xiaojun denied.
As an avid BL fan, of course, Xiaojun knew what chrysanthemum meant in the boys love world. Xiaojun started imagining Long Shan collecting many cute boys for his collection in a garden. He gulped, 'DDon't tell me that Long Shan has a fetish of collecting many shous and putting them together in a room? DDon't tell me that he plays with all of them at the same time! Oh my goddd! Long Shan is so lecherous! Lasvicious! Immoral! Nasty!'
Xiaojun stood from the chair and gulped once more. He tried to reject the offer, "II think, I don't need to see the chrysanthemum garden."
"Huh? But why? You will see many beautiful chrysanthemums," Long Shan smiled gently, "I've collected them and personally taking care of them until they are big, like my own child. I love how beautiful the chrysanthemums are."
'OH MY GOD! SO LECHEROUS! SO PERVERTED! I CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND! THIS IS THE WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF PERVERSENESS!'
"YYou like taking care of them? DDid you shower them with money?" Xiaojun carefully took another step back.
"Well, in order to take care of them, I do need plenty of money," Long Shan affirmed, "But it is worth it, considering how beautiful they've bloom into."
'GODDD! HE IS A SUGAR DADDY! HE IS A SUGAR DADDY TO MANY YOUNG MEN! WHY AM I HERE ANYWAY? I NEED TO LEAVE SOON!'
Long Shan didn't seem to notice the nervousness in Xiaojun. He was happy that someone might have appreciated all his small hobbies, especially this one, "I love chrysanthemum."
Xiaojun took a deep breath to calm himself down. He was already nervous at it right now, and Long Shan kept mentioning chrysanthemum only made him even more worried. It was like, he was being groomed, although their age gaps were only seven years old.
Since Long Shan was only 35 years old.
"I usually love to watch them grow and bloom into beautiful chrysanthemums. However, I do sometimes pick them and fiddle with them. I love arranging many chrysanthemums as once as they bloom together"
"I also love giving them to my colleagues, though they don't seem to appreciate it much. Maybe they just don't know the beauty of a chrysanthemum," Long Shan said, then he gazed at Xiaojun with a warm gaze, "I'm glad that I found a fellow admirer."
'Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no' Xiaojun already eyed the door. He wanted to leave as soon as possible, 'Not only he collects young men, he also offers them to his colleagues! Is he a pimp?!'
"My favourite chrysanthemums are pink and red ones, especially pink ones, though. It's so beautiful," Long Shan said.
'I think mine is still pink' Xiaojun seemed to ponder a bit, 'WAIT! WHY DID I THINK ABOUT THAT!? I'M NOT A PERVERT!'
Xiaojun shook his head, and he took another step back, intending to leave soon.
Long Shan stood from his chair and walked towards Xiaojun, who was fidgety as if he wanted to run away again. Long Shan chuckled. Happily, he thought that Xiaojun must be quite weirded out by his hobby.
Since Long Shan was the Master of Long Family, the influential and probably one of the most powerful mafia family in the country, it would be weird for him to have this kind of gentle hobby.
But he loved it nonetheless. He was the admirer of gentle beauty and simplicity.
Wood carvings, poetries, calligraphy, flower arranging and gardening, and many more. In fact, he never liked to fight, but he had the capability if he needed to.
Long Shan grabbed Xiaojun's hand gently, his warm palm engulfed Xiaojun's hand as he pulled him to the back of the house;
"Come on, don't be embarrassed. I will show you my collection."
'GYAHHH! NO, I DON'T WANT TO BE DEFLOWERED HERE! THIS IS TOO FAST. WE ARE NOT EVEN MARRIED YET! AHHHH, MAMA, I'M SORRY BUT I CANT KEEP MY VIRGINITY UNTIL I GOT MARRIED!'
'LONG SHAN, YOU BETTER MARRY ME AFTER YOU TAKE MY VIRGINITY! BECAUSE I NEED YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR BABY!'
Xiaojun was in full-on panic mode. He started spouting random stuff. He wanted to struggle, but Long Shan indeed had enormous strength. He was pulled to the back of the house, and then Long Shan slid the door open.
"This is my chrysanthemum garden."
Xiaojun closed his eyes to avoid seeing nasty things. He thought he would hear many young men greeting their master with their sweet and seductive voice. But it was silence.
Xiaojun slowly opened his eyes to check whether he was dreaming or what. But there was no young man in the backyard.
Instead, it was full of winter chrysanthemums, blooming beautifully, surviving harsh winters. It was well taken care of and was colourful.
"What do you think? Do you like my Chrysanthemum garden?" Long Shan asked.
Somehow, Xiaojun was even more disappointed after imagining that lewd Chrysanthemum garden in his imagination.
"Yes, Master Long, it is indeed really beautiful"
