“You…”

…

“What exactly are you trying to run away from?”

…

The evening breeze blew gently over the edge of the window and through the gap in the door, brus.h.i.+ng the back of his neck. Enveloping his face though, was the warm mist of the bathroom. It was like fire and ice.

The actor couldn’t help feeling his skin crawl, as if countless cicadas were seeping through his pores, giving him gooseb.u.mps. He couldn’t look the other man in the eye. He could sense the depth and intensity of the other man’s gaze.

“What do you mean, trying to run away from?”

Gong Jie became even more curious at this reaction. He closed in on Hua Jin, as if deliberately provoking him. With raised eyebrows, he asked the actor, “Have you never seen a man’s body?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why else…” Gong Jie looked down at himself, then back at him. “…would you be so sensitive?”

“I…”

“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you like me!”

Upon hearing this, Hua Jin shoved the man aside at once! “You’d better not say such nonsense!”

Gong Jie was surprised at his defiance. Hua Jin had been enduring quietly in his presence all this while. Even if he had been angry, he would never dare voice it.

From the time they first met and played video games together until they became more familiar with each other, the actor had always shown a fearful att.i.tude towards him and avoided him. Even when he was angry, he never dared express it. It was as if he was afraid of him.

It was the first time he’d ever stood up to him and shoved him.

Gong Jie’s interest was piqued.

The actor said through gritted teeth, “Was the prank fun?”

“Prank?”

“Do you like to tease others that much? Just because you’re the young master of the Gong family, you think you can be high and mighty and not care about anyone’s feelings?! I don’t like your prank on me. Please don’t do it again!” The actor seemed to be throwing a hissy fit, even though such resistance in front of Gong Jie was not even comparable to a cat’s scratch. He gave no heed to what was probably Hua Jin’s greatest show of resistance!

It was just that even when the actor lost his temper, it didn’t seem like a big deal. Although he’d done his best to use a harsh tone, Gong Jie was unscathed by it. However, the more this was the case, the more it showed his guilt. Gong Jie was enjoying the man’s tantrum with abandon, his thin lips curling as he crossed his arms arrogantly over his chest. Rather than irritated, he was extremely calm, even teasing.

“You look very guilty when you’re angry.”

For a moment the actor was speechless, unable to say another word. He stared at him, tongue-tied.

Exactly.

Realization hit him like he’d just woken from his sleep. Why was he so jumpy? Why did he seem so angry? To an outsider, he did indeed look guilty. But why should he feel guilty about what he’d said? It was just a bathrobe. Why was he dodging it? It was as if he was afraid that his gaze would fall on that man’s body!

The actor frowned. Even to himself, his reaction was curiously odd.

“Do you prefer women, or men?” Gong Jie abruptly threw the question at the dazed actor.

Hua Jin instinctively replied before he could even actually react, “I don’t know…”

As soon as he said that, he himself, let alone Gong Jie, was stunned.
