Under the man's impossible-to-ignore gaze, Jiang Ze struggled to finish the steak on his plate.
The moment he set down his cutlery, the man across from him reached out and gently brushed the corner of his mouth.
"You had something there."
Jiang Ze swallowed. The boss was being so gentle that it frightened him a little.
Still, he couldn't stop himself from blushing. The spot the man had touched burned like fire.
"I'm sleepy..."
He looked away from the man and spoke in a small voice.
"Mm."
The man answered and reached out to pick him up.
Jiang Ze dodged sideways. What, was he disabled now?
"I... can walk on my own."
[Tsk, now I can't hold him.]
He hurriedly turned around, nearly kicked the chair beside him, and fled upstairs. The chain clattered with his movements, and he almost tripped on the stairs, looking rather ridiculous.
The man caught up to him in a few strides and scooped him up anyway.
"Be good. Let me carry you."
Jiang Ze could only bury his head in the man's chest, his ears red.
Looks like I'm not far from being disabled.
He thought with a sense of defeat.
Meng Zhiyuan carried him upstairs, then suddenly stopped and gave him an odd look.
"Nothing you want to say?"
Jiang Ze looked up at him in confusion and shook his head blankly.
Ding! Target Character's corruption value +10. Current progress: 17%.
His eyes widened in disbelief. Seriously, he really hadn't done anything this time.
Could this thing just shoot up whenever and wherever it pleased???
The man carried him into the bedroom, set him on the bed, then left without a word.
Jiang Ze was left alone on the bed, utterly bewildered.
He couldn't understand why the boss was so mercurial.
