The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 16.1
Genius Artist - Replacement of the White Moonlight for the Rich CEO
Lu Shijin had no classes on Saturday, but Huo Lian had to go work and didn’t have time to accompany him. So, he stayed in the apartment by himself and played games.
Lu Shijin only got off the sofa when it was almost time for the meeting with Huo Qi.
He ruffled his hair, which was tangled like a bird’s nest, and went to the mirror to start dressing up.
His appearance wasn’t inferior to Ruan Siheng’s at all.
But there were two reasons the original host wasn’t able to take Ruan Siheng’s spot in Huo Qi’s heart after three years.
First, he wasn’t positive enough. The more inferior someone felt, the seriously the other side would take them.
It was human nature to want what they couldn’t have. That was why Huo Qi was so hung up on Ruan Siheng.
And for the original host, who had always done his best to please him, he was used to people acting as such, so he naturally dismissed it.
Secondly, the original host didn’t know how to use his advantages to capture men’s hearts.
After washing and drying his hair, Lu Shijin randomly arranged it into a nice hairstyle.
The boy in the mirror was extraordinarily handsome, his skin white and soft. It was as though someone turned their beauty filter to max.
Lu Shijin smirked at his reflection.
Just with this face, a bunch of beauties would probably try to chat him up if he stood in front of a bar.
He could even get Huo Lian, who had a heart of steel, so how could he not deal with some Huo Qi?
After washing up, Lu Shijin prepared to exit the bathroom and go to the closet to change clothes.
When he opened the door, he saw Huo Lian leaning beside the door, startling him.
“When’d you come back? Why didn’t you say anything?”
Lu Shijin patted his chest, looking like he had seen a ghost. Huo Lian was a workaholic, but it was only in the afternoon . . . Did this mean he left work early?
“Not bad, you look like you’re going to see an ex.” Huo Lian ignored Lu Shijin’s question and inspected Lu Shijin, commenting, “Did you put something on your face? How’s it so white?”
Lu Shijin smelled more vinegar, but he was in a hurry and didn’t have time to care about Huo Lian’s thoughts.
“Only water and lotion. I was always this pale.”
Huo Lian followed Lu Shijin into the closet, watching him change with an inexplicable expression.
Lu Shijin didn’t shy away, and under Huo Lian’s gaze, he boldly stripped off his clothing until he was only in his underwear.
Then, he picked out some clothes and asked Huo Lian for his opinion.
“Is white or blue better? Shirt or sweater?”
Huo Lian said indifferently. “I think you look best wearing nothing at all.”
Dumb hooligan.
Lu Shijin turned to smile at Huo Lian. “I’m afraid that’s not possible. We’re going to a Western restaurant and I won’t be able to enter if I’m not dressed appropriately.”
The corner of Huo Lian’s mouth twitched. He didn’t speak, but the air around him seemed to grow more oppressive.
Lu Shijin ignored the atmosphere and yanked on a hoodie and jeans.
The white hoodie didn’t make him appear dim, instead, it made him glow even more.
The low-rise jeans fit his round bottom and long, straight legs perfectly.
Thinking about how Lu Shijin was dressed like this to see Huo Qi of all people, Huo Lian’s icy eyes began to fume.
He thought it was ridiculous that he didn’t want Lu Shijin to meet with Huo Qi.
But sometimes, humans were just this ridiculous. They clearly knew that it was wrong, but still couldn’t help this feeling of jealousy that appeared.
Especially after he rushed back and saw Lu Shijin paying so much attention to his clothing. It seemed as though he placed great importance on their meeting.
The surging jealousy was like a vine with a mind of its own, entangling Huo Lian’s heart.
Lu Shijin opened a drawer and took out a bottle of men’s perfume. He tugged down his collar to spray some on his neck, as well as wrists.
“Come, does my new perfume smell nice?”
Huo Lian walked over without a sound and stood behind Lu Shijin, lowering his head to sniff deeply.
The elegant and fragrant citrus smell was very fitting for Lu Shijin, a young man just over twenty.
“It smells very fresh.” Huo Lian asked in a low voice, “Does Huo Qi like this kind of smell?”
Lu Shijin originally wanted to say that it was a scent he liked; he didn’t know what kind of perfume Huo Qi liked. He didn’t even know if Huo Qi liked men who wore perfume.
But he had a sudden idea and when the words reached his mouth, they became different. “Yeah, he does like it. He likes this kind of freshness. To gain his trust for our plan, I still need to try to please him, don’t you agree?”
Huo Lian’s gaze became darker. “When are you meeting?”
“Six thirty.” Lu Shijin glanced at the clock on the table, “There’s still an hour and a half.”
“Then it’s still early.” Huo Lian trapped Lu Shijin between his chest and the wall. “Before going to see your ex, shouldn’t you do something first?”
Lu Shijin pushed against the wall of muscle in front of him. “Stop fooling around, I just finished dressing up. If you mess it up, I’ll have to redo it. And plus, there’s only an hour and a half left, and it takes an hour to go there by subway. I’m not some big company boss like you, having a car to pick you up and drop you off all the time.”
Huo Lian didn’t care about Lu Shijin’s weak attempt at refusal. He skillfully touched Lu Shijin to light fires within.
“My car’s downstairs, I can drive you over.” Huo Lian kissed his ear, whispering seductively, “Don’t you think it’s exciting to do it with his uncle once before you go meet him?”
Fuck! Huo Lian’s clearly a humanoid heat machine, does he have any integrity?! What is with his behavior!
But he had to admit, when Lu Shijin heard Huo Lian’s remarks, he had an inexplicable sense of nervousness. It really did kind of feel like he was cheating on his “husband” and then meeting him right after.
This kind of nervousness soon became excitement. Lu Shijin forgot about his sore waist and legs from yesterday, feeling moved by what Huo Lian had said.
“There’s only an hour and a half left, are you sure you can finish?” Lu Shijin raised his head to kiss Huo Lian, panting.
Huo Lian laughed hoarsely. “If you don’t want to be late, then you need to try too. I can’t always be the only person who contributes.”
Lu Shijin was tormented by Huo Lian’s sexy voice, to the point where he was going crazy. He bit Huo Lian’s lip, venting his anger and desires.
How is this hooligan so handsome, handsome enough to kill?
“Go to the bedroom.” Thankfully, Lu Shijin still had some sense left, and requested.
Huo Lian shook his head, firmly saying, “Stay here.”
Lu Shijin raised an eyebrow. “Hm?”
As he unzipped Lu Shijin’s jeans, Huo lian pointed at the mirror, whispering in his ear, “I want you to see . . .”
Huo Lian’s voice became deeper and deeper, and the fire in Lu Shijin burned brighter and brighter.
No matter if Huo Lian just wanted to make love to him, or because he was jealous, Lu Shijin was still the one who benefitted.
When they finished, the mirror was completely covered. There were droplets of some liquid everywhere.
Lu Shijin had just been forced to do many embarrassing actions and speak certain words, so when he saw Huo Lian, he wanted nothing more than to bite him to death.
