Young Master Gu's Mean Streak

"Three buttons. Just how long are you going to take?"

Gu Xiao caught Fu Huai's wrist, looking displeased.

"Sorry." Fu Huai smiled faintly. "My mind wandered for a moment."

Even after Fu Huai apologized, Gu Xiao did not let go. Instead, his grip tightened.

With a sharp tug, Gu Xiao abruptly flipped over and pinned Fu Huai beneath him.

"What were you thinking about?"

Gu Xiao straddled him, his legs trapping both sides of Fu Huai's waist. As he lowered his head, his black hair fell forward, hiding those aqua-blue eyes.

Fu Huai suddenly said, "A-Xiao, I still prefer your eyes' original color."

Those pale gray eyes held a hint of deep affection whenever they looked at someone.

Gu Xiao squeezed harder with his legs, successfully drawing a muffled grunt.

This time, Fu Huai really was distracted.

He stared at the second button down on A-Xiao's shirt. He knew there was a red mole beside that spot.

Having it covered only made it harder to bear.

"A-Xiao," Fu Huai said, barely managing to recover a little reason, "what are you doing? Seducing me? Fine, I admit it. You've seduced me."

Fu Huai reached out and rested his hands on Gu Xiao's waist with easy familiarity.

The flesh beneath his palms instantly tensed.

A-Xiao was nervous too.

"Behave." Gu Xiao reached out and patted Fu Huai's face. "Fu Huai, what were you trying to do by deliberately bringing up Gu Yun?"

Fu Huai guessed something and could not help sighing. "A-Xiao, I really was only reminding you. After all these years of friendship, do you still not trust me?"

Gu Xiao said coldly, "I believe Ji Chuan and I have been friends for years too."

A-Xiao really did seem angry.

Fu Huai's touch grew gentler as he slowly stroked Gu Xiao's waist.

"Sorry. I should have found another way, or another place, to talk to you about this." Fu Huai looked straight into Gu Xiao's eyes. "Can you let me get up first? It wouldn't be good if someone got the wrong idea."

Gu Xiao scoffed. "Who would dare get the wrong idea about us?"

"What are you two doing?!"

Feng Ji stared in shock at the two tangled together.

Ji Chuan, who had come alongside Feng Ji, also looked at them with a gloomy gaze.

What were A-Xiao and Fu Huai doing?

Tsk.

Someone who dared get the wrong idea had arrived.

Speechless, Gu Xiao got off Fu Huai. Finding him still lying on the sofa, he stretched out a long leg and kicked him in displeasure. "Don't try to scam me. I didn't do anything."

"All right." Fu Huai sat up helplessly. His gray shirt was creased and his hair was mussed, making it look as though something really had happened.

Fu Huai chuckled at Gu Xiao. "A-Xiao, I'm covered in the scent of irises now."

Before Gu Xiao could tell Fu Huai to shut up, Ji Chuan pulled a bottle of suppressant blocker from his pocket with a dark expression and sprayed Fu Huai furiously several times.

"Is there still a scent now?"

Fu Huai: "..."

He suspected there was something wrong with Ji Chuan's brain.

"Give me the blocker." Gu Xiao held out a hand to Ji Chuan. "I'm the one who needs it most."

Something stirred in Ji Chuan's heart, and his mood inexplicably improved a little.

On the night of A-Xiao's birthday, Lu Keyan had personally given A-Xiao a suppressant, only for A-Xiao to throw it straight away.

But now, A-Xiao was personally asking him for it.

When Gu Xiao saw that Ji Chuan was not going to hand it over, his face darkened.

"Ji Chuan, what is this supposed to mean?"

Ji Chuan snapped out of his daze. "A-Xiao, sorry. Let me spray it on for you."

"Heh, no need. I'm hardly important enough to have Young Master Ji wait on me."

At that, Feng Ji helplessly spread his hands a little toward Ji Chuan.

See? He had said A-Xiao was angry.

Ji Chuan pressed his lips together. "A-Xiao, sorry. Something happened to me recently. That's why I haven't shown up."

He only apologized, without explaining.

Among F4, aside from "Gu Xiao," Ji Chuan had the most one-dimensional characterization.

Ji Chuan liked alphas, and in the end, the universally adored protagonist straightened out his sexual orientation.

It was a very clichéd plot.

To make Ji Chuan preserve his purity like jade for the universally adored protagonist, he also had the absurd character setting of "liking alphas but being impotent with them."

Just thinking about it made Gu Xiao feel sympathy for Ji Chuan.

This alpha probably thought he was the problem.

Otherwise, he would not carry pheromone blocker around with him.

At that thought, Gu Xiao's mood improved considerably. He lifted his chin at Ji Chuan. "Didn't you say you'd spray it on for me? What are you waiting for?"

Ji Chuan looked at Gu Xiao in surprise. He had forgiven him that easily?

If he forgave him so easily, it would be very easy for him to take a mile when given an inch.

Ji Chuan gave him a gentle smile. "All right."

Pheromone blocker was colorless and odorless, and took half a minute to work after being sprayed on.

Only when he drew close to Gu Xiao did he notice that, besides the faint fragrance of irises, he also smelled of alcohol.

It smelled much better than the alcohol on his own body.

Ji Chuan glanced at the table and guessed that A-Xiao had probably had three drinks.

"Oh, right. Feng Ji told me you brought Lu Keyan here, didn't you?" Gu Xiao asked Ji Chuan with a smile. "Why not bring him over?"

Ji Chuan pressed his lips together. "If you want him here, A-Xiao, I'll have him come over."

Why was he putting on that look?

If he didn't want to, then he didn't want to. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was forcing Ji Chuan.

"Forget it. I don't want to see a dog just yet."

Gu Xiao glanced at the stage. At some point, He Shuyu had left, and a beautiful female omega had taken over, furiously working the decks.

"Where's He Shuyu?" Gu Xiao asked. "Have him come over."

"..."

"What, you can't bear to part with this one either?"

Ji Chuan tugged at the corners of his mouth. "It's not that."

Five minutes later, He Shuyu appeared before F4 in a simple tracksuit.

His eyes lit up when he saw Gu Xiao-

"Young Master Gu, did you ask for me?"

Gu Xiao suspected there was something wrong with this alpha's brain.

Just last time, he had subjected the other man to mental suppression and nearly made his mental power collapse.

Yet now He Shuyu was greeting him enthusiastically as though nothing had happened.

Sensing that Gu Xiao was not in a very good mood, He Shuyu hurriedly said, "Young Master Gu, what happened last time was my fault. As long as you'll forgive me, I'll do anything!"

Those words gave Gu Xiao a nasty idea.

"Anything?"

"Yes, yes!"

Gu Xiao extended a finger and gently tipped Feng Ji's glass over onto the table.

"Lick it clean, and I'll forgive you."

Feng Ji: "?"

Why did he have to lick up the drink Feng Ji had drunk from?
