“What’s wrong? You look disturbed since you came back.”
Upstairs at Xu Jing’s studio, Xu Jing glanced at Gong Cheng, who had just returned home and was sitting on the sofa in deep thought with a troubled look.
Gong Cheng didn’t answer him, and instead continued to ponder over something.
After a while, when Xu Jing looked back at him curiously again, he suddenly looked up and said, “I’ll go find a new house tomorrow. We’ll move.”
Gong Cheng’s sudden words confused Xu Jing.
“Move? Why? I like it here.”
“I said we should move.” Gong Cheng said coldly with a frightening look, which startled Xu Jing.
Xu Jing looked at Gong Cheng blankly because he didn’t know why Gong Cheng was angry, and this was the first time Gong Cheng had got angry with him.
When he saw the fright in Xu Jing’s eyes, Gong Cheng came back to his senses. He paused and then covered his face with his big hands regretfully.
‘Damn it, why did I lose temper with him? He has nothing to do with this.’
‘Although I don’t know what is going on with Yangyi today, the information says that First Prince is in Country H now. I have to be careful.’
‘No matter what he has come here for, I can’t let them meet as long as he is here. I cannot let what happened back then happen again.’
“What’s wrong, Gong Cheng?”
Xu Jing felt anxious with Gong Cheng’s frustration, as Gong Cheng had been quiet in front him.
Gong Cheng pinched the skin between his eyebrows and then said he was fine, but he looked very tired.
“You don’t look fine. Did something happen to the company?”
Xu Jing was not blind. He could tell that Gong Cheng was lying, and he did that because he didn’t want to worry him.
“Although I can’t help you much, I can be a good listener.” Xu Jing looked sad because he would rely on Gong Cheng when he was in trouble, but Gong Cheng didn’t tell him about his trouble.
‘You can’t help much?’
Gong Cheng suddenly gave a meaningful smile somehow.
He waved his fingers at Xu Jing, beckoning him to come over.
Xu Jing paused in confusion, but he got up from his chair and walked over to Gong Cheng.
“I’ll listen to you, so don’t keep it to yourself.” Xu Jing stopped in front of Gong Cheng and touched Gong Cheng’s head as he spoke.
Gong Cheng pulled a wry face, as he usually touched Xu Jing’s head to comfort Xu Jing before.
“What are you laughing…?”
Before Xu Jing could finish speaking, Gong Cheng suddenly grabbed his waist and hugged him tightly.
Xu Jing was startled, as this was the first time Gong Cheng had asked for his consolation. However, Gong Cheng wanted to take advantage of him. Or perhaps Gong Cheng just wanted to hug him who made Gong Cheng feel real.
“It’s fine. Take your time and tell me. I’m listening.” Xu Jing stroked Gong Cheng’s head as if he was comforting an injured child.
Although Gong Cheng hated the way Xu Jing touched him, he didn’t push him away. Instead, he tightened his arms and suddenly muttered, “Only you. I don’t want you to be hurt.”
His voice was soft and muffled, so Xu Jing didn’t hear what he said. He asked Gong Cheng what he had said, but Gong Cheng said he was fine. Gong Cheng sniffed the scent of Xu Jing and got enchanted.
