Holy crap, a love triangle

Zheng Ye fled in a panic and hadn't been seen for an hour.

With too few people left, everyone stopped playing and started singing and chatting. Ning Shile, however, was a little distracted. When Zheng Ye still hadn't returned, he went to the restroom to look for him.

The restroom was around the corner. Ning Shile called Zheng Ye's name a few times from the doorway, but no one answered, leaving him puzzled.

Where is he? Did he get lost?

Of course, a grown man like Zheng Ye couldn't exactly get lost. Still, Ning Shile was worried enough to take out his phone and call him.

Only when he turned on the screen did he discover that Zheng Ye had sent him several messages twenty minutes earlier. Perhaps the reception in the private room had been poor, and they had only just come through.

[Z: Something urgent came up at work. I left first. Sorry.]

[Z: Don't play those games anymore.]

[Z: Contact me if anything happens.]

Oh...

He's already left...?

There was no denying that Ning Shile was a little disappointed.

He turned around and lowered his head to type.

[Le: Okay, Brother Ye. Get home safely [holding heart.jpg]]

Ning Shile typed as he walked, completely oblivious to the person approaching him. Before he knew it, he had collided head-on with them.

"Oof!"

They collided hard enough to stumble back half a step. Ning Shile hurriedly apologized. "Sorry! I'm so sorry! Did I hurt you anywhere?"

"It's fine." Su Jinyu didn't seem bothered and answered softly.

The voice sounded familiar. Only then did Ning Shile look up and recognize the person before him. The Protagonist Shou?

"?" Su Jinyu straightened his clothes. Hearing those words out of nowhere seemed to confuse him, and he looked up at Ning Shile.
