Chapter 151 - Li Ling's Embarrassing Mistake

Zhihao had never expected to actually get a kiss for yelling those embarrassing words: I'm cute! 

He thought there was a chance of getting a kiss so he tried. That was it. It was the same as getting a raffle ticket without hoping to win, but since there is a chance, you'll still try nonetheless. 

Even if he had anticipated it, what he anticipated was a small kiss from Li Ling willingly. Willingly! 

He wouldn't even dream about such a cliche situation happening! 

Li Ling fell on top of Zhihao but there was a big problem. Li Ling was wearing the heavy suit while Zhihao was not. 

!!!

What went through Li Ling's mind while he fell on top of Zhihao was probably something along the lines of 'I don't wanna crush A-Zhi under all this weight' and so, with this in mind, he immediately put the suit back in the inventory, however, there wasn't much time, just a second, so who knew what random button he had pressed?

Not only did he put his suit in the inventory but he also put his clothes back with it. 

Zhihao's eyes went wide as he saw the suit and clothes disappearing. 

[You! Aaaaa!] 

[Shameless!!!] 

Alvi immediately turned around and didn't dare look at the shameless seen anymore. 

Not even in his wildest dreams had Zhihao expected to see such a scene. 

Zhihao also fell backward and in the next second, Li Ling was lying on top of his body, butt-naked. 

Thank god they weren't streaming today cause if they were... Zhihao would have surely been banned from streaming in the future. 

There was another problem. 

They were still in the T.I.A.D. sensory room and so he felt something poking his lower abdomen... 

Oh...

Damn it... 

Li Ling's soft lips were attached to his own and they both had their eyes wide open as they stared at each other in confusion and shock. 

It took Li Ling's mind a whole minute to process the situation and just as he did, his cheeks turned as red as cherry peppers and felt just as hot too. 

He was thankful for two facts:

1) It was Zhihao in front of him.

2) There was no one else here who saw such an embarrassing and exposing scene. 

Of course, he wouldn't remember that the staff who were keeping an eye on the monitor had seen it all and gathered around in a circle as they covered their faces and snickered at this scene that was better and more entertaining than any movie they had ever watched. 

Zhihao's hands naturally wrapped around Li Ling during the fall. It was a natural instinct to hold the man as he fell but only after completely falling and ending up on the floor did he realized that he could clearly feel the skin under his palm. He could feel it a bit too clearly! Soft skin with muscles. Zhihao really liked it and he suddenly felt guilty for having such thoughts. 

He had thought about it before but it was only now that he was sure about it. Li Ling had a really great built. He might not have as hard muscles as Zhihao but his body was still the best in Zhihao's eyes.

Li Ling wanted to stand up and at the same time, he didn't. 

The situation was shocking at first, awkward in the next second, and was now slowly turning a bit heated. 

Zhihao thought that their kisses were development but this...? This development hit him like a bullet train! And he wasn't prepared for it! 

Li Ling gulped as kept staying there in the same position and Zhihao's muscles turned stiffer than iron as he kept eye contact and tried his best not to let his mind take him on a ride down the dirty-thoughts lane. 

Zhihao wondered if this was the perfect chance to kiss him a bit more passionately but his lips didn't move as fast as his brain did. 

Li Ling pulled away and only now had Zhihao realized that he was holding in his breath. 

Zhihao felt as if looking at that breath-taking flushed face was affecting him a bit too much so he lowered his gaze to avoid looking at Li Ling but... That was an even worse decision. 

The atmosphere turned even more awkward. 

Li Ling's eyes went wide as he looked down at his little brother that was now on display for Zhihao. 

Oh shit...! 

"Wah...!" Zhihao's tongue slipped. 

At this exact moment, Alvi turned around, thinking that Li Ling would have already covered up but as soon as she saw the scene that was not suitable for her ten-year-old self, she once again snapped her head back to face the wall and shouted. 

[Just cover up! Idiot! Dumb! Shameless!]

Li Ling panicked as he forgot that all he had to do was go to his inventory and pick something to wear. Instead of choosing the obvious answer, he covered his little brother up with his hands as he looked at Zhihao with eyes filled with embarrassment and shock. 

"We're here!" It was the delighted voice of Wang GuiYing who had walked in on this scene. His smile dropped as he saw a naked Li Ling and Zhihao on the floor. His left foot that was about to step in front immediately changed directions as he spun 180 degrees and took a step back, "And we're out of here! You can continue." 

"..."

Could this situation get any worse?! 

Zhihao coughed twice as he forcefully turned his face away and tried his best not to peek, "Inventory." 

Li Ling immediately reacted as he opened his inventory and selected the first clothing item he could see. 

A minute passed in silence and Zhihao asked, "Are you done yet...?" 

When he didn't get a response, he turned to look and saw that... It was empty... 

Li Ling... Ran away...?! 

"Li Ling?" Zhihao didn't know if he was supposed to laugh or cry at this situation.  He looked around but the only ones he could see were Alvi and the Ribot that had caused all this. 

He grabbed his head as if he was suddenly having a headache and in the next second, his shoulders started shaking. 

Alvi looked at him with pity in her eyes as she tried to console him. 

[You pitiful thing. To have been sexually harassed like that... I feel bad for you.] 

[That man was a badie! Don't let him traumatize you.] 

"Traumatize?" Zhihao pulled his head up to look at the girl with a wide smile that Alvi had never seen before this, "What do you mean?" He laughed. 

[...] 

Zhihao shook his head as he tried to control his laughter before speaking up, "Track him down for me, will ya?" 

There was no way he was going to let Li Ling run away just like that. 

[Understood] 

Suddenly there was a map in front of Zhihao and Zhihao wanted to laugh even more as he saw the map that displayed Li Ling's location. 

The man didn't run away. He hid! 

Zhihao couldn't do it anymore. 

The situation was so ridiculous that he broke out laughing as if he had heard the best joke in the world. 

He clutched his stomach that was hurting from all the laughing. 

This was just too ridiculous. 

Li Ling didn't possibly think that hiding could save him from all the embarrassment, did he? 

Zhihao couldn't help but walk towards a particular car that was parked inside this abandoned parking lot and behind this car was Li Ling who was sitting with his hands circled around his knees that were clutched close to his chest with his head tucked down. 

He looked much like a kid that was too embarrassed to go outside after he had peed his pants in public. 

Zhihao stopped laughing as he saw this and instead, he smiled in an amused manner, but suddenly, his smile went down as he felt that what he was seeing was a bit familiar. 

He had seen this scene before. 

A really long, long time ago. 

At this moment, Li Ling's body overlapped with the memory of a small boy. 

The boy was also sitting just like this and was crying. Zhihao didn't remember why the boy was crying nor did he clearly remember what happened afterward. 

He gulped as he walked closer to Li Ling and tapped him on the shoulder. 

The memory started becoming a bit more clear and when Li Ling looked up with his red cheeks and glittering eyes... It was a perfect match. 

The boy... 

Zhihao remembered one more thing.

When he had tapped the boy's shoulder and the boy looked up, little Zhihao had been awestruck by the beautiful crying face of the boy. However, he was still young and so instead of helping the boy and trying to coax him, Zhihao smacked him on the head. 

The boy looked heartbroken as he pouted and rubbed his head before looking up at Zhihao and saying... 

"A-Zhi is too cruel!" Li Ling cried out with a frown. 

The memory faded away as Zhihao looked at Li Ling in shock. 

"It can't be really you... Right?"
