Am I Pretty?

Yu Yaochen's bedroom was enormous, with a double bed in the center. The sheets were silk and looked incredibly comfortable.

Gu Yuechen stared at the carpet beneath his feet, wondering whether he should take off his shoes. This carpet was probably worth more than his life, but then he remembered that Yu Yaochen had invited him in. So what if he left black marks on it?

There was also a thirty-square-meter walk-in closet in the bedroom. Yu Yaochen was inside, looking for clothes that would fit Gu Yuechen.

Gu Yuechen stared at the closet, unable to stop himself from comparing it to where he lived.

He had not even seen the bathroom yet, but he guessed it was probably bigger than his home.

"This one is new. Try it on."

Yu Yaochen handed Gu Yuechen an entire white suit.

Gu Yuechen hurriedly waved his hands. "Forget it. My clothes will dry soon enough. What if I get yours dirty?"

Yu Yaochen gave him a disapproving look and stuffed the clothes into his arms.

"It's fine if they get dirty. Put them on quickly. Don't catch a cold."

Holding the expensive clothes he had never touched in his life, Gu Yuechen looked around. "Where am I supposed to change?"

"Change here. I'll wait outside."

After saying that, Yu Yaochen immediately walked out of the closet and shut the door.

Gu Yuechen did not change right away. He walked around the closet, stopping before a glass display case full of expensive watches. Unable to resist, he reached out and touched one of them.

Afraid of dropping and breaking it, he did not dare try it on.

After touching it for a while, he withdrew his hand and took off his T-shirt and pants.

Just as he was about to put on the suit pants, Gu Yuechen frowned and called out.

"Chenchen, are you still there?"

Gu Yuechen had been inside for quite a while, and Yu Yaochen thought he had finished changing, so he opened the door.

Before he could speak, his pupils abruptly contracted. Gu Yuechen's beautiful, alluring body filled his vision.

Gu Yuechen had not expected Yu Yaochen to suddenly come in either. He blinked blankly, then hurriedly covered his upper body with the suit jacket once he came back to his senses.

Yu Yaochen recovered as well. He stammered out an apology, turned around, and nearly walked into the door.

He had already seen him anyway. Gu Yuechen would have to seduce Yu Yaochen into bed sooner or later, so he could treat this as a period of adjustment.

He called after Yu Yaochen. "Chenchen, wait a moment."

Yu Yaochen halted, but he did not dare turn around.

"The pants you gave me are too long. I can't wear them."

He could not exactly roll them up; that would look ridiculous. If Xie Wangchi saw him, he would have another excuse to embarrass him.

Yu Yaochen was much taller than Gu Yuechen, and his legs were long. Naturally, Gu Yuechen could not wear them.

If he had not seen Yu Yaochen's flustered expression, he really would have suspected that Yu Yaochen was in league with Xie Wangchi and deliberately trying to make him look foolish in front of Pei Huanyi.

"Sorry... I didn't think of that just now..."

Yu Yaochen wanted to go inside, yet it was inconvenient for him to do so. He remained stiffly frozen at the doorway.

Thinking this was a good chance to seduce Yu Yaochen, Gu Yuechen curved his lips slightly. "Come in. We're both men. What I have, you have too. There's no need to be embarrassed."

Yu Yaochen pressed his lips tightly together, showing no sign of turning around.

Gu Yuechen had no choice but to pretend that he was freezing. He wrapped his arms around himself and shivered slightly.

"So cold..."

Yu Yaochen naturally heard him. He struggled internally for a moment, but in the end, worried about Gu Yuechen's health, he turned around and walked in.

Gu Yuechen had already set the suit aside on a low sofa. With nothing covering him, he stood directly before Yu Yaochen.

Yu Yaochen glanced at him as though he had been scalded, quickly averting his gaze.

He walked over to the suits on the side, his fingertips trembling as he flipped through the hangers.

Gu Yuechen watched Yu Yaochen with great interest. If he had not seen those ears flushed as though stained with rouge, he would have thought Yu Yaochen had no interest in his body.

Five minutes later, Yu Yaochen came out holding a shirt and a pair of dress pants.

"There aren't any smaller suits. How about this set? They're clothes from ten years ago. I never wore them, and the style is fairly classic. They should fit you."

Gu Yuechen did not reach out to take them. He stared at Yu Yaochen's ears for quite some time.

Then he asked, "Chenchen, do you think I'm pretty?"

Yu Yaochen's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was noticeably hoarse.

"Pretty."

"Then why won't you look at me?"

Yu Yaochen's heart skipped a beat. A crack appeared in his cool, detached expression, revealing a panic he could not hide.

He did not understand why Gu Yuechen would say something like that.

Wasn't he afraid of causing a misunderstanding?

Perhaps Gu Yuechen did not mean anything by it. Marriages between men were extremely rare. Yu Yaochen had no plans to take over Cloud Gate Group. He had no interest in business at all and only wanted to hold a paintbrush for the rest of his life.

His parents had chosen the most suitable person for him. The interests of both families would be tied together: Pei Huanyi would manage Cloud Gate Group for him unconditionally, while the Yu Household would save the gradually declining Pei Group.

Neither he nor Pei Huanyi liked men. They had agreed to slowly try after getting married, and if it truly did not work, neither would force the other.

He had thought things would continue this way, until Gu Yuechen's appearance overturned his thinking.

"Chenchen?" Gu Yuechen called to him again.

Yu Yaochen pulled himself free from his tangled thoughts.

He took a deep breath, his voice sounding as if he were restraining some emotion.

"Put them on quickly. Don't catch a cold. I'll wait outside. Once you're dressed... come out on your own."

After saying that, he set the clothes on the low sofa without waiting for Gu Yuechen to take them.

Without looking at Gu Yuechen even once, he walked out of the closet.

Once the door shut, Gu Yuechen let out a cold laugh.

Sure enough, he would not be so easy to seduce.

After changing, Gu Yuechen walked out of the closet.

The pants were still a little too long, but they were much better. Unless someone looked closely, they would not notice that the size did not fit.

Yu Yaochen had been sitting on the bed. The moment he saw Gu Yuechen come out, he immediately stood up.

Gu Yuechen looked at his ears again and found that they were no longer red. He had probably regained his composure.

"Do you need to change your shoes?" Yu Yaochen lowered his gaze to Gu Yuechen's shoes. "What size do you wear?"

"Forget it. My shoes aren't wet." Gu Yuechen tugged at the shirt sleeves, looking somewhat uncomfortable. "Can I really wear your clothes? Will people gossip?"

"They won't. The Yu Household failed to host you properly and got your clothes dirty in the first place."

Gu Yuechen smiled and looped his arm through Yu Yaochen's.

"Chenchen, you're so good to me."

Yu Yaochen pursed his lips and gently pulled his hand away.

"Let's go downstairs."

A dark glint passed through Gu Yuechen's eyes.

He was starting to keep him at arm's length again.

That was really no good.
