Nan Qing's fingers curled up, and her pupils dilated instantly.
He suspected that God had heard him bragging outside and was punishing him now on purpose!
Huo Yuzhou's voice was low and husky, his eyes fixed on him without blinking as he repeated what he had said.
"Don't be nervous."
I didn't think much of it.
"They're all men."
"That's normal."
With each word Huo Yuzhou spoke, Nan Qing felt her heart beat a few times faster.
He pursed his soft, rosy lips, wanting to calm himself down and revert to his usual arrogant and unrestrained young master persona.
But his heartbeat was out of his control, and even his breathing became erratic.
Huo Yuzhou's refined and handsome features were magnified before him, and his deep eyes seemed to see right through him.
"It's normal for you to hear me call your name?"
The boy, who had been trying to remain calm, couldn't control his expression for a moment, and the shock and astonishment in his eyes were clearly revealed.
A loud boom went through my head, like I'd been struck by lightning.
Nan Qing was dumbfounded, unable to think clearly, and even his speech became dry and stammering.
"You... I..."
"Um... you..."
Nan Qing hesitated for a while, while Huo Yuzhou waited for him calmly.
Only when Nan Qing was finally able to speak coherently did she find a reason to try and persuade Huo Yuzhou.
"Hey, it's nothing serious. Don't move, I'll find you some videos--"
Nan Qing tried to run away, but before she could take a step, the man grabbed her waist and pressed her against the door.
Nan Qing knew Huo Yuzhou had a strong grip, but she didn't expect it to be this strong.
He was at least a normal man who could kick the old pervert Xu Jing'an until he was squatting on the ground howling, but this normal man couldn't even break free from the abnormal Huo Yuzhou.
Being controlled by the other party, yet unwilling to admit defeat, they could only raise their heads and listen to what the other party was saying.
"I'm not as naive as you think, young master."
"I'm seven years older than you; I wouldn't even look at those childish, pretend-playing videos."
Actually, I didn't want to tell you so soon, but you just happened to run into me today.
Huo Yuzhou seemed somewhat regretful, his dark gaze falling on his face.
Nan Qing didn't know what expression to wear at this moment.
How could he have known he would run into him by such a coincidence?
And who would have thought that Huo Yuzhou, who had just been in a fight, would still have such thoughts?
Didn't he also injure his hand?
Nan Qing's struggling movements lessened, and she looked at the other person with her eyes slightly raised.
Huo Yuzhou chuckled softly, but his dark eyes, as deep as ink, held an unfathomable emotion.
"Young Master, back when you used to enjoy provoking me every day, throwing your clothes in my face after your bath, calling me a useless piece of trash, and stepping barefoot on my shoulders, I was already lusting after you."
Nan Qing's pupils dilated in shock.
But the man with his arm around his waist spoke in a relaxed voice, as if he had finally found an outlet for release, talking aimlessly.
"In every dream I can't speak of, you'll appear right on time."
Nan Qing's cheeks began to burn again.
Or rather, it wasn't just scalding hot; he felt like he was on fire from head to toe, at a temperature of at least 1,000 degrees Celsius, ready to incinerate him into dust in the next second.
Huo Yuzhou stared at his expression.
"I have no interest in anyone but you."
Even so, you won't overthink it, won't be nervous, and will you think that since they're all men, everything is normal?
He repeated the sentence again, and Nan Qing's head was about to explode.
He felt that Huo Yuzhou was still a bit vindictive; in just a short while, he repeated the topic he had mentioned twice.
hateful!
It's all his fault for being so foul-mouthed; he insisted on coming up to apologize to Huo Yuzhou, which led to this whole mess.
If only he had listened to a few Xi Juan's nonsense downstairs, Huo Yuzhou might have finished sooner, and he could have avoided this deadly situation.
Nan Qing pursed her lips repeatedly, unable to find a single word to respond to him.
The more he remained silent, the more Huo Yuzhou seized the opportunity to make a fuss.
For example, a boyfriend who always brings up past grievances during arguments, ask him...
"Did I make myself clear, my Qingqing?"
"You still think I fought with Xi Juan because of that damn contract?"
"She's smart and beautiful, but when it comes to matters of the heart, she's as clueless as a little pig..."
Huo Yuzhou raised his hand and touched his cheek, being extremely gentle so as not to hurt him.
Nan Qing finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly looked away from her eyes.
Seemingly having confirmed his thoughts, he repeated Huo Yuzhou's words in a low voice, with a hint of hopeful schadenfreude.
You want me.
Huo Yuzhou paused, then corrected his answer.
"I like you."
Nan Qing's heart skipped a beat, and his voice became muffled.
"That's not good."
What's wrong with that?
Huo Yuzhou pinched his chin, turning him towards himself, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"I like you, I want to be with you, what's wrong with that?"
"Bad is bad!"
The boy whose chin he was gripping seemed to be getting increasingly agitated. A kind of panicked confusion surfaced in his eyes, like a sharp sword slashing at his preconceived notions, threatening the safe territory he depended on for survival, leaving him helpless and panicked.
Or perhaps it's a poor little fish parasitizing inside some kind of shellfish, fearfully facing the sudden change, trying its best to push its tiny body and soul further into the shell.
Resistance, fear, panic, anxiety, and the need to feign composure.
Trying to act as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, she raised her fair and handsome face and reached out to pull at his bathrobe.
The voice was urgent, as if saying that if we hurry up, we won't have to think, and if we don't have to think, we won't be afraid.
Her eyelashes trembled, and her thin eyelids were tinged with pink.
"Why does a grown man talk so much nonsense?"
"You're all adults, why are you still so long-winded?"
The bathrobes were already loose-fitting, let alone with the two of them pulling and tugging at each other like that.
The fabric was torn and flew up. Nan Qing glanced at it suddenly and was shocked.
You secretly took your medicine?!
