I watched as Xiao Huaisu's smile grew increasingly more profound; the corners of his eyes along with the tips of his brows, all having stretched themselves into a happy expression, making it obvious for all to see he was indeed a morning person. It should have been a scene of wall to wall eye-gunk and the like, but Xiao Huaisu's smile was such a brilliant sight to behold, my already frazzled little heart was again given a start, while my face couldn't help itself from becoming heated and that mouth of mine began to tremble. Instinctively, my hands also lifted to rub my on eyes which were thankfully clear of any gunk.

Xiao Huaisu stared at me, asking me helplessly: "Are you sure about this?"

I couldn't help but then ask: "Why uh... Why are you s-smiling..." It's really annoying, goddammit. After this my head bobbed down, and I fixed my gaze on the folds in the sheet.

After I limped back, Manager Lin was the first to come over. Greeting us, he then ushered us to our seats.

Xiao Huaisu first reached out to rub my head, as he clarified: "I asked you if this place hurts, " while his other hand touched somewhere else—my butt!

"You pervert!" Why didn't I notice this earlier? He can dare do this sort of thing in this sort of place...

"..." Do you really think it's good to say this so easily? Do you not have any consideration at all for your other half's frame of mind?

After he said this, his lips suddenly met mine in a kiss. It was not a kiss which mirrored the intensity of the ones from the night prior, instead, this kiss was more akin to a cool summer's breeze. Then following a bit of guidance, he gently entered my mouth, licking where he could, sucking where he liked.

"..." Da-ge, what do heck do you mean? I don't understand. Don't you realize that I'm not as smart as you? So why are here rubbing my head all while seeming to unintentionally touch my аss?

The next day, when nature made its rightly call, I finally understood why Xiao Huaisu tried to stop me from having the pepper the night before.

So he then added: "It's too late for you to regret it."

His expression was the definition of relaxed as he then undid a button, asking again: "Do you refuse to concede?"

No matter what he actually meant, the option I selected was the one where I silently sneaked into the blanket, while the thought of being just a bit further from Xiao Huaisu knocked about in my head because heart was a mess just as much as it was uneasy. The thing is, never fancied myself a regular person, but just like your average-Joe, being face-front with your perfect someone would sometimes beckon feelings of inferiority. But, fortunately, such feelings was only something I experienced every now and again.

"I will—"

There was bitterness in my heart on account of this, and I made the decision to talk it over with him sometime soon... or maybe after I work out what exactly to say after a really long time. But what if we end up breaking up soon?

Plus, painful?

When Xiao Huaisu saw this response from me, he frowned while asking: "Are you hurt? I helped clean you up a bit last night right after though... Do you need me to buy you some medicine?"

To my surprise, right before we went at it, he narrowed his eyes at me and asked: "You seem rather sprightly still, don't you think?" Then skilfully began his take-down.

Everything he said was for this obvious reason, so how could I still pretend to act dumb? It's not that I can't say I hit my head on the floor, so I need you to go buy me some medicine, right?

"Does it still hurt?" He then uttered.

How could I refuse? I had no intention of pushing him away.

Wait, giving up didn't work?

I bit down on the toilet paper roll, all while bawling like a dog.

I was so mad hearing that, I wanted to 1v1 him in a fight.

But when I thought about how he had cleaned me up last night, I ended up shaking my head while my face erupted in a blush, as I then stammered out: "You—" But I had no idea how to say it.

When this drawn out kiss had come to an end I was out of breath and a dazed look painted my face.

"..." Do you really think it's good to say this so easily? Do you not have any consideration at all for your other half's frame of mind?

I simply huffed. In the end, though, I couldn't hold back my little temper at all.

Pulling me into his arms, Xiao Huaisu held me gently, as if I were a babe, allowing my conflicted heart to feel a tad at ease. Our eyes soon met, his words soon following: "Last night, you cried as you told me you liked me. So are you still going to pretend you lost those memories of yours?"

Of course I refuse to concede! And, right now, that intoxicating voice of yours won't work on me at all!

But Xiao Huaisu ignored me.

Seeing Xiao Huaisu looking relaxed, Manager Lin, having realised we weren't fighting out of anger, then sad to the crowd: "They're a rather lively pair, aren't they... Anyhow, go on, now. Let's go. Everything here is fine, so let's leave them to continue their practice."

If not that long after I tell him we end up fighting and that causes us to breakup, which leads to Li You getting hurt, wouldn't it be better for me to not say anything in the first place? After all, Li You is incredibly fond of Xiao Huaisu too.

I cried? I didn't know that.

I sat myself down on a lounge chair, my chin resting in my hands, while I leaned back to relax. In the distance, I spotted Xiao Huaisu chatting it up and sharing laughs with some of the executives at the company. Seeming to have noticed my gaze, he then turn his face a bit my way.

Naturally, I was a little pissed over having to hold it in for so long, so I lowered my head and bit down on his collarbone. When I heard him groan out, feeling sympathetic, I released my hold, instinctively reaching out to rub him, but refusing to ask him if it hurt.

"Ha—"

"It's just like I thought, their relationship really isn't an ordinary one. I heard that even their parents know one another."

But was still unable to speak, and Xiao Huaisu's face suddenly turned serious. As his gentle caresses touched my faced, he went on to ask: "Li Tian, do you want us to start dating?"

"Then I want to break up... QAQ."

I'm sorry, but it's not that he showed no mercy, but more him being ruthless.

However, Xiao Huaisu was completely absorbed in licking and rubbing my chest, making me cry out a few times, but I had to keep my voice down. It was all very hard to endure.

Hearing him laugh like that, my behind started hurting again. After regretting it, I cried: "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, okay? How could I ever break up with you? I love you so much."

I still replied as before: "Yes, I refuse!" As a dignified disciple of Shaolin, how could I give in?

When those words touched my ears, I stared at Xiao Huaisu in disbelief. My mind was an utter mess.

Isn't there a saying about living for today that goes: if there's wine today, get drunk today?

At first I thought he would just give me the cold-shoulder, but when I saw his lips curve upwards in a smile sent my way, I couldn't stop my eager hand from lifting to send him a wave.

Everything he said was for this obvious reason, so how could I still pretend to act dumb? It's not that I can't say I hit my head on the floor, so I need you to go buy me some medicine, right?

It was fortunate the place we were at was not conspicuous at all. Everyone was far away, and there were quite a lot thick patches of grass and flowering plants which gave us the right amount of cover. The people who were just speaking with him had long left too, and had to say, ths place was a really good one to have fun.

While we ate, I stared at Xiao Huaisu's face, the act making me suddenly think of Li You.

After I limped back, Manager Lin was the first to come over. Greeting us, he then ushered us to our seats.

While we ate, I stared at Xiao Huaisu's face, the act making me suddenly think of Li You.

"Li Tian and the president are on really good terms, aren't they..."

How could I refuse? I had no intention of pushing him away.

I laughed, "Are you some kind of gangster?"

When this drawn out kiss had come to an end I was out of breath and a dazed look painted my face.

Why didn't you keep trying to to stop me yesterday? If you stopped me, I wouldn't be so god-damn miserable today.

Xiao Huaisu lifted my hand, staring at the place where our hands joined, his hold becoming more firm as he asked: "Do you regret it?"

"I will—"

"Does it still hurt?" He then uttered.

He looked at me, utilizing not one bit of hesitation as he inserted the figurative knife by continuing: "It's probably because I've never met a person as stupid/silly as you, and was just exceedingly drawn to you."

To which my messy headed self could only give a confused shake in response. On the subject of him asking if it hurt, all I could honestly say is, that apart from a twinge and bit of discomfort in the outset, I was rather happy afterwards, since the pain was gradually replaced with a tingling sensation. even thinking about it now made me feel all satisfied and delighted. So which part of me would still be in pain? I hurriedly shook my head, but after doing so it felt weird. It felt as though my head was filled with paste, as if I was completely incapable of forming rational thoughts, so I just choose to abandon myself and bury all of within the blanket.

With a relaxed tone, he said through the bathroom door: "I'm already no longer your male god, now I'm your boyfriend."

Laughing, he asked: "Really?"

Right then, both the cities on my chest were lost.

This sight forced Xiao Huaisu to let out a chuckle before moving to pull me up by the waist. His hands then slowly explored my body hidden under the blanket, every stroke or caress made by him, triggering the lingering feelings of the night before to enter my mind, the thoughts causing my back-end to involuntarily shudder. Picking up on this reaction of mine, he then directly scooped me into his embrace, our bodies now pressed together tightly, skin completely thrust against skin, enticing the temperature to begin its ascent.

His expression was the definition of relaxed as he then undid a button, asking again: "Do you refuse to concede?"

Thinking of her made those worries of Xiao Huaisu being unable to accept the kind of bodily constitution I possessed again rummage through my mind. Plus, what about Li You herself? Even though I got the feeling he was quite fond of her, what if he grew to dislike because of my body? What would I do then?

His words prompting me to think about the state of my chest and back, where who knows how many kiss marks were planted all over them, thus ushering the immediate zipping of my lips.

Witnessing the done up buttons of my short grow less and less, I stared at him angrily, demanding: "You— You're not allowed to unbutton them!" I feigned bravado. All while being super worried on the inside that someone would come over and run into this scene.

I'm sorry, but it's not that he showed no mercy, but more him being ruthless.

Dropping kisses within the cook of my neck, he then softly asked: "Is this okay?"

Xiao Huaisu wasn't there with me at the moment, but I still felt awkward hearing Manager Lin's words. After all, I haven't actually been taking care of Xiao Huaisu, yet I still had to pretend he was ill, prompting me to reply: "The hotel had some regular medicine which made his fever subside after he took them. He was all better when he woke up afterwards."

When this drawn out kiss had come to an end I was out of breath and a dazed look painted my face.

"Hmph. You've got some backbone, don't you?" While saying this, he actually used his free hand to start unbuttoning me, causing me to stare at him with widened eyes. Even though this place was secluded, I could see that the sky was getting darker which meant the barbecue was almost about to start. What would we do if the kind-hearted Manager Lin sent someone to call us over?

My mind was in shambles, and just like this, I fell back in again.

I put on a pitiful act once more, continuing: "What will you do if someone comes over here soon?"

"That's for sure. He even had the balls to fight with the president."

"We young people recover quite quickly! We have no choice but to!" This reply of mine was delivered harshly, before being immediately followed by my right hook.

So he then added: "It's too late for you to regret it."

What am I going to do, I got the feeling he'll get me back in some way.

Halfway through, someone had phoned Xiao Huaisu, so while still clutching me in his arms he also answered his phone. Thus with an expression which now became all proper, he spoke to the other person at the other end of the line, saying: "I came down with a light fever and asked Li Tian to accompany me for a while, so you guys can just go without us. We'll be there for the barbecue in the afternoon. It's alright, just a light fever, that's all. But don't tell everyone else since it might ruin their mood." Right as he said all this, his gaze fell on my body. I was currently straddling him while in his arms at that moment, and because of this that thing of his went in even deeper, making it almost unbearable to think. Originally, I was planning to take advantage of him answering the phone to lift myself upwards, he had proactively held me firmly by the waist, stopping me from moving a single inch.

I was so angry—so embarrassed—I glared at Xiao Huaisu fiercely.

"Winners are king, and losers are the invaders. You've been taken as a prisoner of war, so what seniority do you possess to disallow me from unbuttoning them, hm?" Those words of his were sharp, and that smile he wore grew even more elusive. My fourth button was now held between his fingers, as he added: "But despite this defeat of yours, you still have quite a lot of nerve. So I beg you, please keep it up." With those words said, my fourth button was now also popped open.

While sulking over my failure to get up, I told him: "You lie without even batting an eye."

"That's for sure. He even had the balls to fight with the president."

I lifted my leg, swinging it, only to have it firmly blocked by Xiao Huaisu. After retracting my leg, I was flipped and pressed onto the grass by him too, both arms pinned above my head, while he also used a leg to hold my lower half in place. A chuckle then left him as he asked: "Do you still refuse to concede?"

After hanging up the phone, he let out a laugh, the look in his eyes forgiving as he looked me then said: "Were you planning to go to the hot-springs looking like this?"

I simply huffed. In the end, though, I couldn't hold back my little temper at all.

Are you trying to anger a dad to death?

The noise made caused a crowd of people to rush over to our location wearing faces full of astonishment. Manager Lin even wanted to rush in the middle of things to break us up.

The night before we had done it with reckless abandon, then did it again in the morning, and as a result of this, my body was completely worn out and sore. When Xiao Huaisu finally released me, he massage me for a good while after before helping me clean myself up, finishing right as the ordered room service arrived.

His words prompting me to think about the state of my chest and back, where who knows how many kiss marks were planted all over them, thus ushering the immediate zipping of my lips.

I cried? I didn't know that.

Even though I wasn't sure why he told me not to worry, the thing was, hearing it right then had made that funky mood weighing behind me become a little lighter. That's right, what use was there in being overly concerned over gains and losses? Things should just be taken step by step and left to see how they go.

I...

I almost cried out at the feel of the sensation, but the thought of those faint sounds of cheerful laughter coming from that place over yonder had left me with no choice but to bear it.

I was so mad I almost vomited blood, yet I still pleaded: "But we still can't do it right here, yeah? When we go back later tonight you can do whatever you want, alright?"

Dropping kisses within the cook of my neck, he then softly asked: "Is this okay?"

At first, I wanted to curse him out, but remembering how harshly he just acted, I didn't dare provoke him again. What if he wants to do it again? Right now, I'm not all too convinced he wouldn't dare to.

Everything he said was for this obvious reason, so how could I still pretend to act dumb? It's not that I can't say I hit my head on the floor, so I need you to go buy me some medicine, right?

I'm sorry, but it's not that he showed no mercy, but more him being ruthless.

When he got up to go open the door, having felt a bit uneasy, I dragged my naked body into the bath to clean myself up again. After making sure the fluid inside me was all out, I put on a bathrobe and lazily dried my hair as I walked out.

When everyone was busy preparing the stuff for the barbecue that afternoon, Xiao Huaisu and I joined in to lend a hand while wearing ordinary expressions.

This was the rhythm of death.

While we ate, I stared at Xiao Huaisu's face, the act making me suddenly think of Li You.

As a result, Manager Lin retracted his hand, forcing me to deliberately ask Xiao Huaisu: "Who said I can't eat it? I can't enjoy it if there's no pepper, you know?"

After confirming there was no one around, I relaxed then leaned my head on his shoulder, saying languidly: "I still can't believe we're together."

That's a possibility as well.

Once more, he nodded seriously, asking: "Should I?" He then seriously seemed to consider the possibility of breaking up with me, adding, "But... I don't think there's any chance of you becoming smart at this point, after all, you've been grown up for so many years now, so if you could become smart, you would've done so earlier, don't you think?"

Plus, painful?

That's a possibility as well.

Wait, giving up didn't work?

"We young people recover quite quickly! We have no choice but to!" This reply of mine was delivered harshly, before being immediately followed by my right hook.

***

Fearing Xiao Huaisu would continue, I silently recited a proverb: as long as the hills are green, one will never run out of wood for a fire—where there is life, there is hope! So without much further ado, I displayed my concession.

Soon, the voices and the forms belonging to them gradually faded into the distance.

∽***∼

Soon, the voices and the forms belonging to them gradually faded into the distance.

What am I going to do, I got the feeling he'll get me back in some way.

I bit down on the toilet paper roll, all while bawling like a dog.

When everyone was busy preparing the stuff for the barbecue that afternoon, Xiao Huaisu and I joined in to lend a hand while wearing ordinary expressions.

The crowd around us also chimed in: "Yes, agreed! You may not have gotten a hit in this time around with the president, but it doesn't mean you won't get one next time, right? Hahaha!"

With a relaxed tone, he said through the bathroom door: "I'm already no longer your male god, now I'm your boyfriend."

The expression all over just then was no different from that of a corgi wanting to play. But, fortunately, I was able to stop after a couple waves, simultaneously also managing to take back my line of sight and lift up my head to stare at two chubby birds cuddling together in a tree.

Not knowing when, Xiao Huaisu who was chatting with those people before had now come over, asking me that question as he sat beside me, his hand then naturally and intimately holding onto my own which was resting on the chair.

Walking over to me, Manager Lin then asked: "Thank you for taking care of or president and staying by his side, Li Tian. Have you taken him to see a doctor?"

Hearing him laugh like that, my behind started hurting again. After regretting it, I cried: "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, okay? How could I ever break up with you? I love you so much."

I then whispered: "What are you doing?" I never thought he'd actually do something like this here.

After confirming there was no one around, I relaxed then leaned my head on his shoulder, saying languidly: "I still can't believe we're together."

This was basically a prime example of an advantage of being a coat-tail rider. You would want to do the work, but others won't let you.

When those words touched my ears, I stared at Xiao Huaisu in disbelief. My mind was an utter mess.

_{I watched as Xiao Huaisu's smile grew increasingly more profound; the corners of his eyes along with the tips of his brows, all having stretched themselves into a happy expression, making it obvious for all to see he was indeed a morning person. It should have been a scene of wall to wall eye-gunk and the like, but Xiao Huaisu's smile was such a brilliant sight to behold, my already frazzled little heart was again given a start, while my face couldn't help itself from becoming heated and that mouth of mine began to tremble.}
Nodding at my response, Manager Lin then enthusiastically took the things I was using to brush on the spices with in my hands before pushing me away, saying: "Go on now, then. You've been working hard all morning, so go take a look around and let the others take care of this. You can just come back when it's time to eat."

After we left for the rock garden, my legs were so weak I almost fell to my knees, but Xiao Huaisu nimbly caught me. However, when I felt there was liquid running don my thighs, I was so angry that I pushed him away.

To my surprise, right before we went at it, he narrowed his eyes at me and asked: "You seem rather sprightly still, don't you think?" Then skilfully began his take-down.

I...

"Well, no wonder."

My mind was in shambles, and just like this, I fell back in again.

The noise made caused a crowd of people to rush over to our location wearing faces full of astonishment. Manager Lin even wanted to rush in the middle of things to break us up.

Wait, giving up didn't work?

I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously... How could I ever break up with you?

This was basically a prime example of an advantage of being a coat-tail rider. You would want to do the work, but others won't let you.

"Don't worry. I'm right here, I got you."

So just as I decided I would no longer overthink things, I immediately looked at Xiao Huaisu, my skin as thick as their come, before my brimming curiosity prompted me to ask: "What... do you um... like about me exactly?" My reasoning for this being he would say a few words in praise of his other half for he sake of us officially being together.

To my surprise, right before we went at it, he narrowed his eyes at me and asked: "You seem rather sprightly still, don't you think?" Then skilfully began his take-down.

But after a while, wouldn't such a thing cause public outrage?

Xiao Huaisu, once hearing this, only smiled and nodded. His gaze was filled with admiration and sincerity as he peered down at me, right as he undid another button.

Soon, the voices and the forms belonging to them gradually faded into the distance.

While sulking over my failure to get up, I told him: "You lie without even batting an eye."

Pulling me into his arms, Xiao Huaisu tidied my clothes: carefully re-fastening all my buttons, organising my messy hair and dusting the dust from my pants.

"You pervert!" Why didn't I notice this earlier? He can dare do this sort of thing in this sort of place...

Well, whatever. I'm dog-tired right now, so if I could go rest, why don't I?

When this drawn out kiss had come to an end I was out of breath and a dazed look painted my face.

I'm sorry, but it's not that he showed no mercy, but more him being ruthless.

At first I thought he would just give me the cold-shoulder, but when I saw his lips curve upwards in a smile sent my way, I couldn't stop my eager hand from lifting to send him a wave.

In turn, the responsible party sent me a doting smile, then gave me a bunch of barbecued chicken wings. Manager Lin then picked up some chilli powder and said: "It doesn't look like there's any chilli pepper on this one." Looking at me after he was done, to add: "Just look how well the general manager is treating you."

Manager Lin, seeing that it appeared inconvenient for me to walk, laughed as he said to Xiao Huaisu: "President, you didn't show any mercy, did you? It seems Li Tian here is finding it too painful to walk."

I was so mad I almost vomited blood, yet I still pleaded: "But we still can't do it right here, yeah? When we go back later tonight you can do whatever you want, alright?"

I'm not really sure why, but after confirming our relationship, I couldn't be as relaxed as I was when I had liked him secretly previously. Maybe it was because I have considerably more things to consider, and there being this heavy feeling always lingering which I couldn't push away. Just thinking about all this made my heart feel weighed down.

Xiao Huaisu stopped Manager Lin from adding the pepper, saying: "He can't eat pepper right now?"

I couldn't help but then ask: "Why uh... Why are you s-smiling..." It's really annoying, goddammit. After this my head bobbed down, and I fixed my gaze on the folds in the sheet.

While sulking over my failure to get up, I told him: "You lie without even batting an eye."

Well, whatever. I'm dog-tired right now, so if I could go rest, why don't I?

"What are you thinking about?"

And you you what, we really did end up fighting. My wulin versus his taekwondo.

But Xiao Huaisu only laughed, not seeming to care one bit. Holding my waist, he asked: "Do you want to rest for a little while?"

"You pervert!" Why didn't I notice this earlier? He can dare do this sort of thing in this sort of place...

Laughing, he asked: "Really?"

After confirming there was no one around, I relaxed then leaned my head on his shoulder, saying languidly: "I still can't believe we're together."

That's a possibility as well.

I was so mad hearing that, I wanted to 1v1 him in a fight.

Xiao Huaisu lifted my hand, staring at the place where our hands joined, his hold becoming more firm as he asked: "Do you regret it?"

Walking over to me, Manager Lin then asked: "Thank you for taking care of or president and staying by his side, Li Tian. Have you taken him to see a doctor?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Will you listen to me next time, then?"

I didn't say a word in response.

Walking over to me, Manager Lin then asked: "Thank you for taking care of or president and staying by his side, Li Tian. Have you taken him to see a doctor?"

So he then added: "It's too late for you to regret it."

Xiao Huaisu lifted my hand, staring at the place where our hands joined, his hold becoming more firm as he asked: "Do you regret it?"

"Yes! I really, really, love you."

I'm sorry, but it's not that he showed no mercy, but more him being ruthless.

I laughed, "Are you some kind of gangster?"

I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously... How could I ever break up with you?

I was so mad I almost vomited blood, yet I still pleaded: "But we still can't do it right here, yeah? When we go back later tonight you can do whatever you want, alright?"

So lifting my chin, I arrogantly proclaimed: "Yes, I refuse."

"Don't worry. I'm right here, I got you."

"That's for sure. He even had the balls to fight with the president."

"Then I want to break up... QAQ."

Xiao Huaisu lifted my hand, staring at the place where our hands joined, his hold becoming more firm as he asked: "Do you regret it?"

"Li Tian and the president are on really good terms, aren't they..."

I tried to lift my legs, butt I couldn't apply any strength. He truly did pick a good position to pin me, as both my feet were pushed under the lounge chair, so even if I could lift them, it would be pointless to do so. I could only move about freely of I climbed out from below it.

_{I watched as Xiao Huaisu's smile grew increasingly more profound; the corners of his eyes along with the tips of his brows, all having stretched themselves into a happy expression, making it obvious for all to see he was indeed a morning person. It should have been a scene of wall to wall eye-gunk and the like, but Xiao Huaisu's smile was such a brilliant sight to behold, my already frazzled little heart was again given a start, while my face couldn't help itself from becoming heated and that mouth of mine began to tremble.}I almost cried out at the feel of the sensation, but the thought of those faint sounds of cheerful laughter coming from that place over yonder had left me with no choice but to bear it.

Isn't there a saying about living for today that goes: if there's wine today, get drunk today?

Dropping kisses within the cook of my neck, he then softly asked: "Is this okay?"

Xiao Huaisu gave a laugh in reply, then told him to let us be, saying: "Relax, we're just sparring—"

But, alas, I expected too much, and was far too naïve.

"I like your silliness." [or stupidity]

Well, whatever. I'm dog-tired right now, so if I could go rest, why don't I?

"..." Do you really think it's good to say this so easily? Do you not have any consideration at all for your other half's frame of mind?

After hanging up the phone, he let out a laugh, the look in his eyes forgiving as he looked me then said: "Were you planning to go to the hot-springs looking like this?"

I put on a pitiful act once more, continuing: "What will you do if someone comes over here soon?"

The noise made caused a crowd of people to rush over to our location wearing faces full of astonishment. Manager Lin even wanted to rush in the middle of things to break us up.

What am I going to do, I got the feeling he'll get me back in some way.

His face was serious, not seeming to show any sign of this being in jest at all. This was undoubtedly yet another deep dagger, so I pulled my hand out his then hugging his arm, said very unhappily: "Then if I suddenly became clever, would you just kick me to the curb?" I regretted it the minute I asked. Wasn't this me basically admitting I was stupid? I held my forehead in chagrin.

From the toilet, I yelled out: "Xiao Huaisu, you bastard! You're no longer my male god from now on!" A crime boss like you is unworthy of being my prince charming.

However, Xiao Huaisu was completely absorbed in licking and rubbing my chest, making me cry out a few times, but I had to keep my voice down. It was all very hard to endure.

Xiao Huaisu gave a laugh in reply, then told him to let us be, saying: "Relax, we're just sparring—"

I was so mad hearing that, I wanted to 1v1 him in a fight.

He then pulled my undone shirt wide open, the left side of my chest laid bare under the cool evening air. This action prompted the little mound I had there to immediately stand firm, so while still holding my hands in place, he lowered his head to gently pinch that place between his teeth. He had no shame. He was so shameless! How on earth did I never notice how shameless this guy was before now?

And you you what, we really did end up fighting. My wulin versus his taekwondo.

"Li Tian and the president are on really good terms, aren't they..."

To my surprise, right before we went at it, he narrowed his eyes at me and asked: "You seem rather sprightly still, don't you think?" Then skilfully began his take-down.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Huaisu gave a laugh in reply, then told him to let us be, saying: "Relax, we're just sparring—"

I couldn't help but then ask: "Why uh... Why are you s-smiling..." It's really annoying, goddammit. After this my head bobbed down, and I fixed my gaze on the folds in the sheet.

"I will—"

"We young people recover quite quickly! We have no choice but to!" This reply of mine was delivered harshly, before being immediately followed by my right hook.

But Xiao Huaisu ignored me.

The noise made caused a crowd of people to rush over to our location wearing faces full of astonishment. Manager Lin even wanted to rush in the middle of things to break us up.

"That explains why Li Tian was so excited to see the president in the beginning. It was because they knew each other originally."

Hearing him laugh like that, my behind started hurting again. After regretting it, I cried: "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, okay? How could I ever break up with you? I love you so much."

Nodding at my response, Manager Lin then enthusiastically took the things I was using to brush on the spices with in my hands before pushing me away, saying: "Go on now, then. You've been working hard all morning, so go take a look around and let the others take care of this. You can just come back when it's time to eat."

At first I thought he would just give me the cold-shoulder, but when I saw his lips curve upwards in a smile sent my way, I couldn't stop my eager hand from lifting to send him a wave.

"Goodness me, why are you two fighting?! Stop fighting, talk it out!"

In tandem with Manager Lin's words, that warm liquid flowed down my leg.

Xiao Huaisu gave a laugh in reply, then told him to let us be, saying: "Relax, we're just sparring—"

I...

This was the rhythm of death.

"That's for sure. He even had the balls to fight with the president."

Xiao Huaisu stopped Manager Lin from adding the pepper, saying: "He can't eat pepper right now?"

"Li Tian and the president are on really good terms, aren't they..."

How could I refuse? I had no intention of pushing him away.

The crowd around us also chimed in: "Yes, agreed! You may not have gotten a hit in this time around with the president, but it doesn't mean you won't get one next time, right? Hahaha!"

"That's for sure. He even had the balls to fight with the president."

However, Xiao Huaisu was completely absorbed in licking and rubbing my chest, making me cry out a few times, but I had to keep my voice down. It was all very hard to endure.

But was still unable to speak, and Xiao Huaisu's face suddenly turned serious. As his gentle caresses touched my faced, he went on to ask: "Li Tian, do you want us to start dating?"

While sulking over my failure to get up, I told him: "You lie without even batting an eye."

"It's just like I thought, their relationship really isn't an ordinary one. I heard that even their parents know one another."

I was so mad hearing that, I wanted to 1v1 him in a fight.

"Well, no wonder."

"That explains why Li Tian was so excited to see the president in the beginning. It was because they knew each other originally."

Soon, the voices and the forms belonging to them gradually faded into the distance.

_{No matter what he actually meant, the option I selected was the one where I silently sneaked into the blanket, while the thought of being just a bit further from Xiao Huaisu knocked about in my head because heart was a mess just as much as it was uneasy. The thing is, never fancied myself a regular person, but just like your average-Joe, being face-front with your perfect someone would sometimes beckon feelings of inferiority.}
I lifted my leg, swinging it, only to have it firmly blocked by Xiao Huaisu. After retracting my leg, I was flipped and pressed onto the grass by him too, both arms pinned above my head, while he also used a leg to hold my lower half in place. A chuckle then left him as he asked: "Do you still refuse to concede?"

Are you trying to anger a dad to death?

"Will you listen to me next time, then?"

N/A

Of course I refuse to concede! And, right now, that intoxicating voice of yours won't work on me at all!

Wait, giving up didn't work?

I laughed, "Are you some kind of gangster?"

So lifting my chin, I arrogantly proclaimed: "Yes, I refuse."

At first I thought he would just give me the cold-shoulder, but when I saw his lips curve upwards in a smile sent my way, I couldn't stop my eager hand from lifting to send him a wave.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing my words, Xiao Huaisu finally lifted his head, his lips now placing a kiss at the corner of my mouth before that familiar smile again graced him as he said: "Too late."

But was still unable to speak, and Xiao Huaisu's face suddenly turned serious. As his gentle caresses touched my faced, he went on to ask: "Li Tian, do you want us to start dating?"

I couldn't help but then ask: "Why uh... Why are you s-smiling..." It's really annoying, goddammit. After this my head bobbed down, and I fixed my gaze on the folds in the sheet.

Every department had gathered in their own circles, turning the food as they chatted on and laughed.

I then whispered: "What are you doing?" I never thought he'd actually do something like this here.

His expression was the definition of relaxed as he then undid a button, asking again: "Do you refuse to concede?"

Are you trying to anger a dad to death?

"Ha—"

That's a possibility as well.

My mind was in shambles, and just like this, I fell back in again.

I still replied as before: "Yes, I refuse!" As a dignified disciple of Shaolin, how could I give in?

Plus, painful?

Xiao Huaisu, once hearing this, only smiled and nodded. His gaze was filled with admiration and sincerity as he peered down at me, right as he undid another button.

N/A

The noise made caused a crowd of people to rush over to our location wearing faces full of astonishment. Manager Lin even wanted to rush in the middle of things to break us up.

So he then added: "It's too late for you to regret it."

I didn't say a word in response.

I bit down on the toilet paper roll, all while bawling like a dog.

"Yes! I really, really, love you."

In tandem with Manager Lin's words, that warm liquid flowed down my leg.

But, alas, I expected too much, and was far too naïve.

I almost cried out at the feel of the sensation, but the thought of those faint sounds of cheerful laughter coming from that place over yonder had left me with no choice but to bear it.

"Ha—"

Wait, giving up didn't work?

Hearing my words, Xiao Huaisu finally lifted his head, his lips now placing a kiss at the corner of my mouth before that familiar smile again graced him as he said: "Too late."

I then whispered: "What are you doing?" I never thought he'd actually do something like this here.

Hearing my words, Xiao Huaisu finally lifted his head, his lips now placing a kiss at the corner of my mouth before that familiar smile again graced him as he said: "Too late."

"We young people recover quite quickly! We have no choice but to!" This reply of mine was delivered harshly, before being immediately followed by my right hook.

iana: Let's all take a moment of silence for Li Tian's fallen behind. Yeah, I know I'm late by few hours. Happy Easter, everybody!

My mind was in shambles, and just like this, I fell back in again.

Are you trying to anger a dad to death?

So lifting my chin, I arrogantly proclaimed: "Yes, I refuse."

When those words touched my ears, I stared at Xiao Huaisu in disbelief. My mind was an utter mess.

But was still unable to speak, and Xiao Huaisu's face suddenly turned serious. As his gentle caresses touched my faced, he went on to ask: "Li Tian, do you want us to start dating?"

All my pleas went unheard. So turning my head, I rock garden not too far away caught my eye, prompting me to grit out: "Let's go there."

"Yes! I really, really, love you."

Right then, both the cities on my chest were lost.

But after a while, wouldn't such a thing cause public outrage?

_{No matter what he actually meant, the option I selected was the one where I silently sneaked into the blanket, while the thought of being just a bit further from Xiao Huaisu knocked about in my head because heart was a mess just as much as it was uneasy. The thing is, never fancied myself a regular person, but just like your average-Joe, being face-front with your perfect someone would sometimes beckon feelings of inferiority.}"..." Do you really think it's good to say this so easily? Do you not have any consideration at all for your other half's frame of mind?

This was the rhythm of death.

"I like your silliness." [or stupidity]

Why didn't you keep trying to to stop me yesterday? If you stopped me, I wouldn't be so god-damn miserable today.

"A place like this isn't good, yeah?" Immediately realising the direction thigs were currently heading in, I begged.

"We young people recover quite quickly! We have no choice but to!" This reply of mine was delivered harshly, before being immediately followed by my right hook.

But Xiao Huaisu ignored me.

I'm sorry, but it's not that he showed no mercy, but more him being ruthless.

Walking over to me, Manager Lin then asked: "Thank you for taking care of or president and staying by his side, Li Tian. Have you taken him to see a doctor?"

Isn't there a saying about living for today that goes: if there's wine today, get drunk today?

***

"Ha—"

I put on a pitiful act once more, continuing: "What will you do if someone comes over here soon?"

***

His expression was poised, and his words blunt: "I don't care if others find out."

It hurt so fυсking much.

Laughing, he asked: "Really?"

"Yes! I really, really, love you."

I held my waist and waved him away: "I don't need it." Me staying alone with you alone in this place? That's the rhythm of death.

Of course I refuse to concede! And, right now, that intoxicating voice of yours won't work on me at all!

I was so mad I almost vomited blood, yet I still pleaded: "But we still can't do it right here, yeah? When we go back later tonight you can do whatever you want, alright?"

But was still unable to speak, and Xiao Huaisu's face suddenly turned serious. As his gentle caresses touched my faced, he went on to ask: "Li Tian, do you want us to start dating?"

However, Xiao Huaisu was completely absorbed in licking and rubbing my chest, making me cry out a few times, but I had to keep my voice down. It was all very hard to endure.

Pulling me into his arms, Xiao Huaisu tidied my clothes: carefully re-fastening all my buttons, organising my messy hair and dusting the dust from my pants.

All my pleas went unheard. So turning my head, I rock garden not too far away caught my eye, prompting me to grit out: "Let's go there."

***

"It's just like I thought, their relationship really isn't an ordinary one. I heard that even their parents know one another."

The next day, when nature made its rightly call, I finally understood why Xiao Huaisu tried to stop me from having the pepper the night before.

∽***∼

Those colleagues of mine, huh? You guys are too naïve. This situation is not that simple.

"Will you listen to me next time, then?"

While we ate, I stared at Xiao Huaisu's face, the act making me suddenly think of Li You.

"Don't worry. I'm right here, I got you."

Pulling me into his arms, Xiao Huaisu tidied my clothes: carefully re-fastening all my buttons, organising my messy hair and dusting the dust from my pants.

What am I going to do, I got the feeling he'll get me back in some way.

Right then, both the cities on my chest were lost.

But was still unable to speak, and Xiao Huaisu's face suddenly turned serious. As his gentle caresses touched my faced, he went on to ask: "Li Tian, do you want us to start dating?"

I puffed out my chest, but the two points of stabbing pain from doing so made me quickly suck my chest back in. Immediately getting mad and saying: "Yes!" Then snatching the chilli powder from Manager Lin's hand.
