Did He Bully You?

Maybe because it had happened once before, it wasn't as hard to accept this time. His reaction wasn't as intense as it had been at the hotel.

But that only made Gu Yuechen feel even more disgusted with himself.

He was actually able to gradually adapt to his romantic rival's body. Just how lonely and desperate was he?

Afterward, they went to Yu Yaochen's break room and lay down.

The two squeezed onto a single bed, staring at the ceiling together.

Yu Yaochen kept a firm grip on Gu Yuechen's hand and refused to let go. Gu Yuechen wasn't in the mood to argue with him, so he let him do as he pleased.

"Yuechen, were you unhappy today?"

Gu Yuechen's expression froze slightly as he turned to look at Yu Yaochen's face.

"Why do you ask?"

"Just a feeling."

Yu Yaochen couldn't explain it. While they were doing it, he could sense that something was off with Gu Yuechen's mood.

It was like he was venting his emotions, yet not quite.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little depressed," Gu Yuechen said.

Yu Yaochen immediately turned onto his side, looking at Gu Yuechen with concern. "What happened? Can you tell me about it?"

Gu Yuechen narrowed his eyes, deciding to give Xie Wangchi a small punishment.

Xie Wangchi was always showing up at his workplace to bother him, then arrogantly mocking him for his lowly status.

"Chenchen." Gu Yuechen pulled his hand free from Yu Yaochen's and turned his face away, refusing to meet Yu Yaochen's eyes. "Maybe we should just forget it."

Yu Yaochen's breathing turned ragged. He immediately sat up, panic filling his beautiful, noble features.

"Why?" Yu Yaochen asked urgently. "Was I not good enough just now?"

Hearing something like that from a pampered young master, Gu Yuechen was both surprised and amused.

The hothouse rose the Yu Household had carefully protected for so many years only needed to be f***ed by a man once to become so utterly devoted.

It was truly ridiculous.

"That isn't the reason." Gu Yuechen turned over, putting his back to Yu Yaochen. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke. "Don't ask."

Yu Yaochen fell silent for a moment. Then, as if strength had suddenly come from nowhere, he pressed both hands onto Gu Yuechen's shoulders and forced him to look into his eyes.

When Gu Yuechen met the dark, ruthless look in his eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

But it lasted only an instant. Yu Yaochen's gaze softened again, his eyes reddening as he looked pitiful beyond measure.

Gu Yuechen frowned. Had that just been an illusion?

"Yuechen, you can tell me anything. Don't decide to leave me without even giving us room to talk it over."

That was exactly what Gu Yuechen had been waiting for.

He bit his lip and answered cautiously, "Xie Wangchi came looking for me again a few days ago."

Yu Yaochen's gaze turned several degrees colder.

"Did he bully you?"

"No." Gu Yuechen shook his head. "He just warned me to stay away from you. He said someone like me wasn't worthy of being your friend."

This time, he hadn't exaggerated at all.

Xie Wangchi really had said that, so Gu Yuechen wasn't afraid Yu Yaochen would go question him.

"He's getting more and more out of line." Yu Yaochen's voice carried a thin edge of anger. "Looks like the lesson last time wasn't enough."

Gu Yuechen hurriedly took Yu Yaochen's hand, staring at him nervously. "Don't go fight him again. What if you get hurt?"

At Gu Yuechen's words, Yu Yaochen's features softened, and his anger instantly dissipated.

"I won't." Yu Yaochen said, "I don't need a friend like him who stirs up trouble. I won't see him again."

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Yuechen was so happy he could barely keep the corners of his mouth from lifting.

Xie Wangchi deserved to know what it felt like to be despised by his beloved white moonlight.

It had to hurt terribly.

"Forget it. You've been friends for years. Don't fight because of me," Gu Yuechen continued with his green-tea act.

Yu Yaochen didn't answer, but he had already made up his mind.

He gently caressed Gu Yuechen's cheek and said, "Don't casually tell me we're breaking up again, okay?"

Gu Yuechen was in a good mood, so naturally he wouldn't spoil Yu Yaochen's fun. "Mm, I understand."

Yu Yaochen lowered his head and kissed his lips.

"I can finally kiss you today." Yu Yaochen's eyes curved with a smile. "I've wanted to for so long."

After leaving the hotel, Gu Yuechen hadn't allowed Yu Yaochen to kiss him.

Not even on the cheek or hand.

Yu Yaochen had thought he was worried about not being able to relax outside, so he hadn't pushed too hard.

Seeing Gu Yuechen so enthusiastic in the studio today, he was certain that Gu Yuechen had suddenly become cold toward him only because he was afraid someone they knew might see them.

Thinking of this, Yu Yaochen felt even more tender toward Gu Yuechen.

"Yuechen, I won't let you down." Yu Yaochen clenched Gu Yuechen's hand, his voice resolute. "You can trust me."

"Okay."

Yu Yaochen lay back down and pulled him into his arms.

"You really scared me just now." Yu Yaochen said, "I thought I hadn't done well enough and made you unhappy."

Gu Yuechen had his back to Yu Yaochen, so he didn't need to hide his expression. His face darkened as he asked, "Are you like this with Doctor Pei too?"

"No." Yu Yaochen seemed a little embarrassed and buried his face in the crook of Gu Yuechen's neck. "It was... my first time..."

Shock flashed through Gu Yuechen's eyes.

How could that be?

If it was his first time, how could he have so casually slept with him?

And Yu Yaochen and Pei Huanyi were already engaged. How could they possibly have done nothing?

He was probably just pretending to be innocent.

What a shameless slut.
