Lu Bai pulled Ruan Jiangjiuâs wrist and turned to stride out of there, so he didnât see before leaving Ruan Jiangjiu sent a chilling glare to the two menâs eyes.
The assistant director was startled when he saw the eyes of the pairânow aware of what horror he had brought onto himself as he fell out of his seat, frozen in shock until their figures disappeared. Only then did he turn to face the fat man and Song Zhiâan, trembling as he choked out: âHe-, he is really Qu Xueyu!â
In this business, you will learn as you meet more kinds of people through the eyes of those who have been raised in a superior position since childhood. It is impossible for a domesticated canary to have this kind of gaze. It was his fault that he had only looked at the other sideâs profile when the last few character photos were taken. He was so busy with pleasing others that he overlooked an obvious problem; there is no way in the world that there could be two people who look so much alike.
âItâs overâŠâ He blankly stared at the man who was doing his best to stay calm. They were all mistaken. They had misjudged Lu Bai who was not a fool as had been rumored. They couldnât pull Lu Bai into the murky water to have fun with them, and now they had even offended Lu Bai! Offending Lu Bai was offending the Lu family! Now, it seemed they even managed to anger Qu Xueyu.
The Lu family would not spare them, and the old man Qu, who was currently the head of his family, would not eitherâŠ
As the night was getting late, Lu Bai held Ruan Jiangjiuâs wrist and walked along a sparsely populated street. He was in the lead, his head slightly lowered and his hair covering his eyes.
Ruan Jiangjiu could feel that the teenagerâs grip on his wrist was extremely firm, yet trembling and burning as if trying to sear itself into his skin. He wanted to take hold of the teenagerâs wrist and bring him into his arms, helping him to block all the pain and filth of the world. He nearly did so at once.
When they reached a lonely street lamp on a remote corner, Lu Bai abruptly stopped walking. Ruan Jiangjiu reached out towards the other when he saw the youth turn around and plunge into his embrace, hugging him tightly around the waist.
His pupils contracted after which he wrapped his arms tightly around the teenager.
âXiao Ruan,â Lu Bai said, buried in the youthâs embrace, soaking up the warmth and wonderful scent of the manâs body. His voice was muffled: âI have some bad thoughts in my heart, and I canât stop them.â After a pause, he added, âThey are about you.â
Ruan Jiangjiu held the young man and placed a hand on the back of his neck, blocking the cold wind of the late autumn night. He clutched the young man a little tighter around his waist, and with a gentle exhalation, he said, âTell me about it. Maybe I will find it cute.â
Lu Bai fully buried his face into the otherâs embrace and quietly explained, âI have thought about locking Xiao Ruan at home, where only I can see and touch him every single day. So that Xiao Ruan is mine alone.â He also wanted to eliminate all those guys who had designs on Xiao Ruan, or rather, he couldnât tolerate anyone having ideas about the young man at all. Just now, when he had heard those comments, he couldnât stop the rage in his heart.
Ruan Jianjiu laughed lowly and lowered his eyes, looking at the reddened tips of the boyâs ears in his arms, which were so close, perfect for touching it with his lips. He only moved his lips near the boyâs ear, and his voice was remarkably gentle, âXiao Bai, Why? Did you ever think about why? Why do you think that?â After a brief pause, he let out a soft sigh. âI want you to know the reason why.â
Lu Bai: âBecause Iâm a pervert?â To imprison a person in his house solely for his own eyes or whatever, that couldnât be said that it was not perverted.
Ruan Jiangjiu gazed up at the near-inky, autumn night sky and said, âA pervert? Well, I actually think itâs cute.â After a pause, he said; âXiao Bai, this isnât the reason.â
Lu Bai was stunned and remained silent for a few more seconds. When he finally thought of something, he clutched at Ruan Jiangjiuâs waist. Then abruptly raised his head and looked straight into the eyes of the young man, which seemed to contain all the stars. His face appeared unusually innocent. âYou asked me to think of a reason, but when I tried to think about it seriously, my head was only full ofâ.â At that, he paused and said seriously: âXiao Ruan, I want to kiss you.â In a tone so normal that it seemed to be saying, âXiao Ruan, I want to eat rabbit apples tonight.â
Ruan Jiangjiuâs pupils dilated. He looked right at the teenager and swallowed, but he couldnât say anything.
Thump, thump
In this instant, Ruan Jiangjiu felt that he couldnât hear anything except the sound of his own heartbeat as well as the young manâs who was tightly pressed against him.
âXiao Ruan!â Lu Bai softly pressed his ear to the youthâs chest and bent his eyes: âYour heart is beating so fast.â After saying that, he then blinked: âXiao Ruan, letâs go home. Some things are better to do at home.â
Ruan Jiangjiu blinked and gazed deeply at the young man. Reaching down, he snatched the boyâs wrist from his waist and strode briskly towards the parking lot.

It was already midnight when they arrived back home.
Once they made it inside the door, Ruan Jiang Jiu pressed Lu Bai against the wall. Under the soft light of the entryway, he pointedly examined the young man up and down. Swallowing, he asked, âXiao Bai, do you still want to kiss me?â
Lu Bai met the youthâs rather shadowy eyes which concealed untold emotions and nodded. Saying quite honestly: âYes.â That said, he slightly stood on his tiptoes and gently pressed a kiss on the soft lips of the youthâleaving with a single brush, but incredibly precious.
The kiss was as light and soft as a butterfly. Ruan Jiangjiu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud. One of his hands cupped the back of the boyâs neck, wrapping him possessively in his embrace. The palm that touched the skin on the back of the boyâs neck was hot. He then caressed the boyâs cheek with his free hand. As he looked into the otherâs bright eyes and rosy cheeks, there was something murmuring inside him as if singing a timeless love song. His voice was hoarse: âXiao Bai, did you know? There are many different kinds of kisses, such as the one you just gave me. And then thereâs-â He said and then kissed the teenager.
âMmmâŠâ Lu Baiâs eyes widened as he felt Ruan Jiangjiuâs warm, soft lips first pressing onto his; Then the youth stretched out his soft, wet, hot tongue and delicately traced the seam of his lips flirtatiously.
Thump, thump
Lu Bai felt like his heart was about to beat out of his chest and felt his teeth being pried open by the youthâs tongue. It was when his and the young manâs mouths mingled, the young manâs breath completely permeated into him at last. Lu Bai felt that he was about to run out of air, but the feeling of being intertwined with the otherâs tongue and lips felt too good to part with, and his hands were unconsciously wrapped around his neck.
It all felt so overwhelmingly beautiful; Lu Baiâs eyes released a single warm tear as if his soul had been reunited with someone after a long time. Lu Bai was oblivious to both the tear and the instinct.
