Gu Qing Pei's phone lit up with the name of Yuan Yang on the screen, when he saw it, he didn't want to pick up.
It was for no special reason that Gu didn't want to hear Yuan Yang's voice. That kind of stubborn, arrogant, rebel tone. Even if it sometimes was really attractive and turned him on, other times, that voice made him feel disgusted.
So after hesitating shortly, the ringing stopped, and soon, the phone rang again, he knew that if he doesn't answer, knowing Yuan Yang's character, it will continue to ring. It is an inconvenience for him to turn off the phone, who knows what important phone calls he will miss.
Sighing, he answered the call.
For the first time, he heard the young man speaking with panic in his tone. "Hey, Gu Qing Pei."
"Ah, what happened?"
"You, are you at home?" Yuan Yang felt his mouth go dry, he is now having a major problem. If Peng Fang spilled stuff in front of Gu, he absolutely will beat that boy, there's no saving him.
Gu Qing Pei frowned, "What are you doing? Did something happen? Is Wang Jing okay?"
Yuan Yang was anxious and angry, "What do you mean? He is fine."
"Then why do you sound so restless?"
"You, did you open my computer yesterday?" Yuan Yang had wanted to tactfully cover things, but he felt pressured with Gu Qing Pei's sharpness, he certainly has to set everything straight, and he really didn't need to feel distracted.
Gu Qing Pei's chest tightened, a hand unconsciously grasped his robe, he said quietly, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Why did you open my computer!"
"My computer had a problem and I was in a hurry to send an email yesterday, and I remember having it in your computer, so I opened it."
"Gu Qing Pei!" Yuan Yang roared.
Gu Qing Pei then said, "It just happened. If there nothing else you want to say, then I will I hang up, and you better treat Wang Jing and lawyer Yang with respect."
"You are not allowed to hang up." Yuan Yang shouted, "You, yesterday... Yesterday you were chatting with Peng Fang, right?"
"Well, yes.... for a moment."
"You, what were you talking about?" Yuan Yang's heart's imaginary forehead was sweating.
"What we said to each other, you should already know it, if it's not clear, look back at your computer tomorrow."
Yuan Yang almost misunderstood Gu Qing Pei's dismissal as anger, so he casually commented, "You two must have had quite the chat."
"Huh?" Gu Qing Pei paused, "What did you think we talked about?"
Startled, Yuan Yang whispered, "You are not angry?"
"Why would I be angry?" Gu Qing Pei poured himself a cup of water, sipped a few and said slowly, "I think we both understand each other. This has happened with both our consent, it's not because I'm your boss or because I'm not satisfied with you so what good does it do to get angry? However, Peng Fang certainly understood me wrong, I have forgiven you, not because you put me through hell, but because you're alot better than before, sometimes being lenient is very important, but it's also not good to belittle one's pride. I don't like to be selfish but you don't have to think that just because we both went to bed together that I will take extra care of you. I won't, so don't get comfortable, be extra careful."
Yuan Yang could not tell what he meant at the end of the sentence, but he felt as if a hand had grabbed his throat and was tightening, almost suffocating him.
Gu Qing Pei was right about the reason why the two of them came together, the initial reason is clear to both of them, there is no love, just a game of conquest and contest.
Gu Qing Pei has always been clever on how to minimize his own loss. For him, they are just fuck buddies and nothing more.
So even if Peng Fang said those words, Gu Qing Pei won't have the slightest care, because he never took their relationship seriously anyways.
Yuan Yang was shivering, he clenched his fist and his teeth, "Gu is really mature."
"You shouldn't get mad at Peng Fang. And you don't have to worry about it. In my eyes, you are both kids. You speak with impulsiveness. Just forget about it. I saw you call again a few times so I thought Wang Jing was in trouble."
Gu Qing Pei laughed, but not a trace of a smile was in his eyes, "If it's alright, then you should go to bed early, tomorrow it might rain and it will be really hard to move in the mountain, you guys should depart early, don't be late."
Yuan Yang's heart sunk, he said quietly, "Gu Qing Pei, we are still friendly enemies, huh?"
Gu Qing Pei intended to place the glass in his hand on the coffee table but the bottom of the cup was smashed and the coffee table clinked. His hand was shaking, but his voice was calm. "What else would you expect us to be?"
Yuan Yang felt the blood in his veins freeze under his skin, he laughed bitterly and said, "I am so handsome, you don't like me even a little?"
Gu Qing Pei laughed twice, "Silly boy, quickly go to sleep. I'm still busy, if there's nothing important, don't call me." Gu Qing Pei firmly hung up the phone.
You don't like me even a little?
You don't like me even a little?
You don't like me even a little?
Gu Qing Pei's brain was buzzing, a voice in his head kept repeating this sentence, over and over, enraging him.
The nerve of that over confident ass to ask such a thing?
How could he like a kid who is 10 years younger, childish and wayward, overbearing and rogue hooligan? Why would he like someone who has troubled him so much that he has a headache? He doesn't have a nanny syndrome.
Although he always liked to spend the night looking for young and beautiful young boys, his truly desirable partner should be a mature, generous, and stable person, just like Wang Jing.
Anyway, it won't be the same as Yuan Yang.
But why is his heart so heavy?
Gu Qing Pei thought, if you raise a dog for a long time you will have feelings for it, let alone people you have fostered. Perhaps because of Yuan Yang walking around his home all day he had grown comfortable having him around.
But that's it.
His relationship with the boy at best, can only be so.
On the other side of the phone was Yuan Yang, choking up, facing the phone which was hung up a full three or four seconds ago.
He stood up suddenly, threw his cellphone on the ground, and kicked the chair near him.
He was irritable, so angry, his mood spiralling out of control, he grabbed his coat and car keys, and like a breeze, he flew out of the door.
He wants to see Gu Qing Pei, immediately.
He was suffering a horrible case of agony, the kind he has never experienced before. It felt so bad. He had never had this feeling in the past even when he had been hit by mighty enemies. Beatings to the body, he can handle, he was strong and agile, but he can't endure blows to his heart, never from a person like Gu Qing Pei.
He began to feel uncomfortable inside. Every word Gu Qing Pei said striked his heart, making him lose balance and reason, he felt as if he was falling down to a bottomless pit.
He has never felt this feeling, he didn't know what it is, he didn't know why it felt like this.
He only knew that Gu Qing Pei doesn't care about him, he wanted him to experience a fraction of his extreme bubbling anger.
If Gu Qing Pei doesn't belong to him, then he would like to take all the things Gu Qing Pei can give to him.
Yuan Yang gripped the steering wheel, hands still shaking.
Is he gay? Does he like Gu Qing Pei?.... Was that it?
Impossible ! He most likely does not like him. He's having all these feelings because Gu Qing Pei has been provoking him severely, opposed him, insulted him…
How could he like a man? Who didn't indulge in curious things when they're young? He and Gu Qing Pei, what they're doing isn't too unusual these days, but to spend his entire life with a man, that he can never imagine.
No way! He still has feelings to women, he should not ... He doesn't like a man, not like that!
Yuan Yang denied this. If he really likes Gu Qing Pei, Gu Qing Pei doesn't realize how proud he should be. He can even imagine him bragging.
He finally had Gu Qing Pei in his palms, how could he allow Gu Qing Pei once again to control him.
Yes, it is but desire of conquest, he and Gu Qing Pei, from the start, both are unwilling to admit defeat to the other.
But he wanted to immediately see Gu Qing Pei, the reason doesn't matter. He drove along the dark highway at a rapid pace.
He wanted to see Gu Qing Pei's face. Looking at his expressions is not the same as hearing his voice on the phone. Did Gu Qing Pei really have no desire to be with him? Does he mean nothing to him? Can he really throw it all away any time? Was it so insignificant in his mind?
Yuan Yang eye's were red, he was tightly holding the steering wheel with so much strength that the sound of his bones cracking was audible.
Yuan Yang is the enemy, from the beginning, he is Gu Qing Pei's rival.
He panics at the thought that he will lose if he falls for Gu Qing Pei and he doesn't love him back.
He was allerted to his and Gu Qing Pei's battle, he didn't want to admit defeat in this matter.
Gu Qing Pei was sleeping, it was midnight when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of the door opening. Like most people would react when they hear a sudden break in at night, he panicked. He jumped out of bed, looked around for any handy weapon but didn't find any. The best option was a carved ornament on the nightstand.
Just when he was cautiously going out of the room, the living room lights were turned on and he heard Yuan Yang loudly shouting in the middle of the night, "Gu Qing Pei!"
Gu Qing Pei froze, he thought he was dreaming. Yuan Yang was supposed to be more than two hundred kilometers away on a business trip. How can he be back so suddenly?
Without waiting, Yuan Yang burst into the bedroom. He was so impatient that he didn't even take his shoes off.
Gu Qing Pei rubbed his eyes, his brain foggy with sleep, "You… How did you come back?"
Yuan Yang took long strides inside, he wanted to question Gu Qing Pei and clear up everything in his heart, but how to word it out, was the real challenge.
He didn't want to behave carelessly, because Gu Qing Pei didn't care.
Yuan Yang suddenly felt his sore chest, heart clenching uncomfortably.
Gu Qing Pei frowned, "Speak, why are you suddenly running back here?"
Yuan Yang stared at him, what he wanted to say was painfully stuck in his throat.
