Chapter 30: 2.9

"I saw everything, shrimp."

Yunyu gulped, Junze was clenching his jaw tightly, he was scared that it would snap at any moment. He struggled a bit, "J—Junze, my jaw hurts…"

Junze scoffed and he loosened the jaw, but he rubbed Yunyu's lips with his thumb rudely. He leaned closer and Junze's breath tickled Yunyu's ears, "Did your lips kissed him already? Tell me, I don't want Ronghui to be kissed by someone like you."

"I—I haven't kissed him yet…" Yunyu tried to back off, but Junze cut off his escape completely, Junze's body completely covered Yunyu with his chin leaned on Yunyu's shoulder. Junze raised his eyebrows provocatively, his thumb rubbed Yunyu's lips again, but this time, it was gentler with a bit of meaning on it.

Yunyu's body was embosomed by Junze's strong chest, although Junze was not a model like Ronghui, but his strong arm and chest proved that Junze also did regular work out. If he was a regular man or woman, he would squeal when Junze embraced him like this. But the image of Junze pointing a gun at him was forever imprinted on Yunyu's mind, there was nothing but fear in his heart right now.

Junze was amused with Yunyu who tried to struggle a few times, but turned submissive again. It was like a cornered rat who had nowhere to run, but still tried to struggle, even though the rat was really scared.

It made him want to bully the rat even more.

'Cute rat.'

"Yet? So you are planning to kiss Ronghui later?" Junze chuckled, but there was no mirth in his eyes, there was only raging jealousy that was foreign even for Junze himself. He felt that he should be jealous because Ronghui would kiss anyone other than him, but now, the one that he felt jealous for was Yunyu.

He was jealous when he thought about Yunyu kissing anyone other than him. But he denied that he liked a scrawny little rat.

'Maybe it's because I don't want Ronghui to protect this rat. This rat is my favorite thing to bully.'

Yunyu was anxious, he didn't want to entertain Junze any longer. Ronghui must've been waiting for him, or worse, Ronghui might've already been searching around for him.

[System, I can feel the misunderstanding plot is near, this is the worst.]

[Pupa: It can get worse.]

[It can get worse?!]

[Pupa: You will know soon.]

"Why are you fidgety? Are you uncomfortable?" Junze laughed. He whispered on Yunyu's ear while pressing Yunyu's body on the sink, "If you want to meet Ronghui, you should beg, you are a rat after all."

Yunyu didn't think twice about his pride. He really didn't want to let Ronghui misunderstand what was happening between him and Junze. Because, if Ronghui saw this scene, there might be a fight between Junze and Ronghui, and Junze would definitely ruin Ronghui's career with his powerful family.

Ronghui had been a sweet guy for him, Yunyu would not let Junze hurt him.

"J—Junze, please release me," Yunyu pleaded, "I need to return back soon, or Ronghui will--"

"Ronghui will catch us?" Junze's amusement to this little rat peaked. He got a great idea all the sudden, "Do you think Ronghui will get mad if I kissed you here?"

"What are you—" Yunyu was petrified when Junze suddenly pinched his chin and turned his head to the left. Junze lightly kissed Yunyu's ruddy lips and bit his lower lip.

Junze was thoroughly satisfied with Yunyu's petrified reaction. He purposely bit Yunyu's lower lip to make sure that he left a mark. It might make Ronghui suspicious. Junze was excited to see how Ronghui would feel when he discovered that he was the one who stole Yunyu's first kiss.

Junze licked his lips and said, "Good luck with your date, I will be watching."

With that, Junze left the bathroom with both excitement and satisfaction in his heart.

[Pupa: Ding! Zhou Junze's Fatemeter increases to 40%.]

[…]

[Pupa: You have been standing in the bathroom for almost ten minutes, are you sure you want to stay here?]

[Pupa, that is my first kiss…]

[Pupa: I know, and you got your first kiss in a bathroom, and the one that kissed you is a son of a dangerous mafia. How novel.]

[I… I don't know how to feel about this… I want my first kiss to be Han Ye. Or at least someone who is similar to Han Ye, like Ronghui.]

[Pupa: … Simp.]

Yunyu sighed. He touched his slightly moist lips, there was a bit of stinging pain when he touched the edge of his lips. Junze bit his lips and left an obvious mark.

[I will just tell Ronghui that I bit my lip accidentally.]

Yunyu left the bathroom, he turned to the corridor, to his surprise, Ronghui was already standing on the corridor, his eyes darted on him. Ronghui was silently watching Yunyu.

Yunyu rushed to Ronghui's side, he was nervous that Ronghui might have seen something. But it was already ten minutes since Junze left, Ronghui should have not crossed his way with Junze.

"H—How long have you been here?" Yunyu asked nervously.

Ronghui stared at Yunyu's blushing face, slightly disordered shirt and an obvious bite mark on Yunyu's lower lip. Ronghui clenched his fist, "Were you alone in the bathroom the whole time?"

"Y—Yes! Of course! It's Saturday morning after all, people are sleeping until noon, haha," Yunyu wanted to ease the bleak atmosphere around them. Somehow, he felt that Ronghui was a bit scary. But it might only be his guilty conscience that kicked in.

"I see," Ronghui nodded. He held Yunyu's hand and walked together again.

Yunyu felt that something was amiss, but he didn't dare to ask why. One thing for sure though, Ronghui looked very serious and his hand gripped Yunyu's hand as if his life depended on it.

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 40%!]

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 45%!]

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 50%!]

[Pupa: Ding! Yang Ronghui's Fatemeter increases to 60%!]

[W—what— did something happen?]

[Pupa: I told you the situation can get worse, right?]

Although Ronghui didn't see what was happening inside the bathroom, he could guess with certain credibility that something happened inside between Junze and Yunyu. He was searching for Yunyu after he didn't return for a while. When he walked in this corridor leading to the bathroom, he crossed paths with Junze who just left the bathroom.

Junze smirked at him and said nothing, but he tapped Ronghui's shoulder and left.

Ten minutes later, Yunyu came out from the same bathroom, and just like what Yunyu said, the bathroom was empty. Ronghui wanted to suppress his suspicion and jealousy, he gripped Yunyu's hand, because deep in his heart, he felt insecure.

Maybe Yunyu never liked him, he just came to the bookstore with him because he felt indebted. Maybe Yunyu was disappointed because he couldn't date openly, due to Ronghui's status. Maybe… maybe Yunyu hated him.

So many scenarios flooded Ronghui's mind. He genuinely fell in love with Yunyu, and it seemed that Yunyu reciprocated his love. This was also his first time to go on a date with someone he liked, but what if everything was just his imagination?

If Yunyu was forced by Junze, why didn't he report it to him? Ronghui would gladly fight Junze. Junze might have interrupted his career as a celebrity with his family background, but Ronghui was not scared at all.

He would find another way to come back.

Ronghui felt that he was wearing a green hat on his first real date, he was humiliated, angry, and burning in jealousy. He wanted to kill Junze right now, and he wanted to lock Yunyu inside their dorm, so he would never cheat again on him.

He had considered about leaving Yunyu here. He had a lot of admirers and suitors who lined up for him. He could date anyone he wanted.

But he ditched that idea, because he fell in love with Yunyu naturally, and he wanted to have a natural relationship with someone, not just a random date set up by his temporary agency in the entertainment circle.

Yunyu was anxious, because Ronghui stayed silent until midday. They went to a café for lunch. At first, Yunyu wanted to leave Ronghui to accomodate a seat for them, but Ronghui tightly gripped his hand and the first thing he said was, "Don't leave me."

"But… I need to accommodate a table or we might not be able to get one…"

"It doesn't matter," Ronghui said firmly, "Yunyu, don't leave me."
