CH 25

Allowing no protests, Shen Weixing pulled Ye Jiuyue to go straight to a male clothing shop in the mall. He enthusiastically started picking out full outfits for Ye Jiuyue. 

This shop was very big, from clothes to accessories, and even to perfumes and colognes for men, everything could basically be bought at this one-stop shop. This was a new European brand; it was of the casual type of luxury fashion, and their prices were moderate, making them very suitable for young people buying everyday outfits. It was also a brand that Boss A had worked to bring to China, of course, this wasn’t an important detail at all.

Ye Jiuyue gradually felt that there was something not quite right, holding the clothes that Shen Weixing had stuffed into his arms for him to try, he looked around their surroundings.

Only at the very start did the store staff come over to welcome the two of them, because Shen Weixing, who was fully covered, had made a sign of refusal, the store employees conscientiously stood far away. 

And at this time, there weren’t many other guests in the store.

Shen Weixing said, urging him, “Go and try it out, hurry, we still have stuff to do tonight.”

Ye Jiuyue quietly said, “I don’t want to.”

Shen Weixing frowned. “What is it this time?”

“Let’s find a place, I have some stuff I want to make sure with you seriously.” Ye Jiuyue said. 

“What stuff?” Shen Weixing’s eyebrows scrunched tighter and tighter. 

Ye Jiuyue hesitated for a while, raised his head to glance at the store’s security camera, and gave Shen Weixing another glance. Then he walked over to the store’s staff and handed over the clothes he was carrying to them, motioning to Shen Weixing to leave.  

Shen Weixing unwillingly followed him out. They found a semi-enclosed terrace sitting area at the end of the mall and closed the glass door, shutting out the sounds from inside the mall. 

“What is it?” Shen Weixing had bought two bottles of mineral water that he was sponsoring from the vending machine. He sat on the bench, asking impatiently as he twisted open the bottle cap.

Just as Ye Jiuyue was about to speak, he saw Shen Weixing hand the opened bottle of water to him.

He hesitated for a moment, accepted the bottle and held it in his hands, feeling even more conflicted. He said, consideringly, “We have to come to an understanding, this isn’t a sugar daddy-sugar baby relationship.”

Shen Weixing startled.  

At the start, Shen Weixing and Ye Jiuyue had indeed undergone confirmation as to what this relationship was.    

Shen Weixing was set on defining it as a sugar daddy-sugar baby relationship and persisted in wanting to give Ye Jiuyue money.

Ye Jiuyue was set on defining it as a fuck-buddy relationship and persisted in not wanting money.  

In the impasse, both took a step back, and this relationship was defined as a fuck-buddy relationship, but Ye Jiuyue would accept money. 

At the time, Shen Weixing had been thinking: this is so prissy, it’s just a name, what good is there in arguing about it?

Now, Ye Jiuyue was bringing up past matters. Shen Weixing unhappily and warily asked, “What exactly do you want to say? Don’t pause in between, say it all in one go, listening to you talk about something can frustrate a person to death.”

Ye Jiuyue filtered out this sentence and continued to speak at a speed that would frustrate a person to death. “So, don’t spend money on me. The money you spend on me, I will all gift back, but I can’t afford much in terms of financial means.”

“Who told you to give a return gift?” Shen Weixing asked back, irritated, “I said it before, I have money, this bit of money isn’t anything to me, it’s not like you spent much of my money, can I not afford two sets of clothes?” 

Ye Jiuyue could only switch tracks and say, “In truth, it’s not a problem with money.”

“So now it’s not a problem of money?” Shen Weixing rolled his eyes under his sunglasses. “Then you tell me what the problem is.”

“We’re not in a sugar daddy-sugar baby relationship, you don’t need to spend money on me, and I don’t have a reason to spend your money.” Ye Jiuyue hesitated, then said, “After all, we’re just fuck-buddies, recently you’ve sort of been crossing over the line of this relationship, I want to remind you of this.”

Shen Weixing suddenly went frozen,  glaring at him and saying nothing. 

Ye Jiuyue felt that it was a bit awkward as well, so hurried to say, “Of course, it’s very possible that I’m thinking too highly of myself, I’m just reminding—”

“Of course you’re thinking too highly of yourself!” Shen Weixing instantly blew up. “What are you thinking? Me crossing over the line of this relationship with you? What sort of relationship do you think we have? You wouldn’t have thought that I’ve fallen for you, would you? Are you dreaming?”

Ye Jiuyue had originally wanted to reply “it’s good that you haven’t, then I’m at ease’, but once the words got to his tongue, he didn’t know why, but he unexpectedly didn’t say them.

All of a sudden, he thought that his mentality was a little not right.   

Hearing Shen Weixing say this, Ye Jiuyue didn’t feel a sense of relief in his heart.

This sort of feeling was very strange, for the moment, Ye Jiuyue didn’t know how to describe it. 

He thought about it and felt that this was probably the uneasiness of a fan who had infuriated their idol. That should probably be it, it shouldn’t be wrong. 

Shen Weixing saw that Ye Jiuyue wasn’t saying anything anymore, so his temper rose even more. “Say something!”

Ye Jiuyue’s senses returned to him. He hesitated for a beat, then said, “I haven’t, I’ve never thought that before.”

However, Shen Weixing asked, “You’ve never thought about what?” 

“Hmm?” Ye Jiuyue was startled, scratched his head and explained, “I haven’t thought about you liking me, and have never dreamed.” He tried to defuse this awkward atmosphere, and let out a friendly smile. “I was just saying it as an aside. I, of course, know that you won’t think too much, but you are a very good person, and this sort of relationship is easy to mix up, so…….”

Ye Jiuyue couldn’t keep going, he didn’t know what he was saying anymore either. 

It was very rare that such an awkward thing happened, he thought that he was a little unable to handle it. 

However, Shen Weixing slightly calmed down. He stared at Ye Jiuyue interrogatively for a short while. All of a sudden, he was optimistic again. Lightly coughing, he softened his tone, “I didn’t overthink, and won’t mix things up, but at your age, it’s easier to overthink, and easier to be —”

I can control the heavens and earth, I can’t control what you’re thinking, so even if you get mixed up a little, it’s fine! Even if you overthink a bit I can reluctantly forgive you, haha. 

Shen Weixing hadn’t even gotten the opportunity to say the following two sentences, when Ye Jiuyue said, very seriously and earnestly, “I’ve never overthought or mixed things up either, don’t worry.” 

Shen Weixing：“……”

Ye Jiuyue still really wanted to save this fuck buddy relationship where the amount of pleasure was more than the times of getting angered. He tried his best to use an absolutely earnest attitude to dispel Shen Weixing’s worries. “I’ve never thought about progressing to the next step, maintaining this sort of relationship is very good, you can rest assured. In the future as well, I absolutely won’t overthink, I’m very clear that it’s impossible for this sort of relationship to grow, I myself wouldn’t accept the growth of a relationship like this.” 

Shen Weixing：“……”

“And so——”

“Shut up.”

Ye Jiuyue froze.  

Shen Weixing put the bottle of spring water onto the seat, got up and opened the glass door, took a few steps out, then came back, opened the glass door once more, took off his sunglasses, and coldly looked at Ye Jiuyue.

Ye Jiuyue looked at him, a little dazed. 

“I think there’s something wrong with your brain.” Shen Weixing coldly laughed as he said, “Ye Jiuyue you have something wrong with you, you know? You overthink too much.” 

“I didn’t—”

“Shut up.” Shen Weixing clenched his fists with all his might, resisting the urge to get into a fight. “There IS something wrong with you.”

Ye Jiuyue slightly furrowed his brows and found a paradox in this logic. “Why are you so angry? You just said yourself that you don’t have any other thoughts, then I don’t have any other thoughts either, for you, isn’t this a good thing? What are you getting angry over?”

What am I getting angry over? 

How would I fucking know why I’m angry?!

Shen Weixing was so angry he was about to explode. “Because you thought that I was overthinking! You’re insulting my taste, my personality, my morals, my life values!”

Ye Jiuyue：“……” 

Do you know what you’re saying?

It was obvious that Shen Weixing didn’t know what he was saying either, the speed of his words picking up speed. “Let me tell you, what I’m angry about, I’m angry that you actually thought that I was overthinking! Would I have feelings for you? Are you not fully awake? What gave you this misunderstanding? Ye Jiuyue, I guess at your age it really is common to like to have fantasies, have you read too many novels? Watched too many TV dramas? Do you actually think that you’re Cinderella in real life?!”

Ye Jiuyue：“……”

“I feel disgusted, you actually really did think so much, what’re you fantasizing about all the time? Fantasizing about me, Shen Weixing, falling for you?!” Shen Weixing coldly laughed again, “Think about how we started, do you think that I’d like someone like you who gets super lusty in bed—let me tell you, Ye Jiuyue, you don’t have anything going for you, all you’re good for is being a fuck buddy, you actually thought that I’d fall in love with you? Who do you take me for? Do you think I’m crazy, huh?! Do you think my brain’s filled with water, huh?!” 

Ye Jiuyue：“……”

I didn’t say that you’d fallen in love with me, though. 

As for what’s in your brain, different people have different views I suppose.

Ye Jiuyue silently thought.  

After throwing a fit, Shen Weixing finally said, “Whatever, we’re done! The plane tickets have been booked already, you can go back yourself, don’t look for me in the future, I’ll change my phone number!” 

Ye Jiuyue：“……”

He softly gave a cough. 

Shen Weixing stared at him, waiting for his answer. 

And then, what Shen Weixing got for waiting was Ye Jiuyue’s earnest and kind reply. “Changing numbers is very inconvenient, you don’t need to change it, I won’t harass you, nor will I let anyone else know your number, I’ll delete it right now.” 

“……”

After half a beat, Shen Weixing squeezed out a sentence from between gritted teeth, “Ye Jiuyue, you’re ruthless.”

Ye Jiuyue：“……”

“Get lost then!” Shen Weixing turned around to open the door again, thought about it, turned back and added, “It was me who dumped you!” 

Ye Jiuyue：“……”

Before Ye Jiuyue could say ‘there is no dumping between us’, Shen Weixing turned around again and pulled the door open, walking out with big steps, this time without looking back. 

Ye Jiuyue stood within the terrace area. Looking through the glass door that was still shaking back and forth, he silently watched as Shen Weixing’s back disappeared into the elevator door. 

The author has something to say:

After all, Wei Xing, well, he’s already decided and imagined what colour the walls of his two future kids’ rooms will be painted, but suddenly he found that his kids were gone, and his partner was gone as well. He’d just gotten into the scum guy character persona, then that was nipped in the bud. 

Jiuyue: …….

Jiuyue: ?

Jiuyue: …….

Rinrin:…….a true case of 恼羞成怒=fury born of embarrassment. This is why Zhao Gongzi is actually really smart(?) with his anger. Watch Shen Weixing as he messes up his love life cards, which were already not in his favour……(YJY likes him, but love? He doesn’t even trust you ……you don’t even understand each other) 

Rinrin: if only YJY had said ‘you’re going over the boundary of fuck buddies, I’m not selling myself after all’ and kept the problem at money then SWX’s pride wouldn’t have exploded….sighs. Well, it’s not YJY’s fault, it just would have been true AND wake SWX up without YJY having to feel that explosion 

Lastin: Man, YJY is a saint for not slapping SWX after that rant

Rinrin: Right??? I def would’ve
