CH 6

The atmosphere in the bathroom froze in an instant, the lingering sound of Shen Yi’s voice dissipated, leaving only silence behind. This sentence made Fu Yuhe not even want to pursue their previous conversation anymore.

With his eyes cooling over, he looked through the mirror at the boy who was a little taller than him standing behind him.

Shen Yi did not restrain himself, “What If I say I approached Fu Cheng because of you—”

“Shen Yi.” Fu Yuhe’s voice contained a warning.

Not to be outdone, Shen Yi tightened his hands on his shoulders, so hard that the shirt on Fu Yuhe’s shoulders wrinkled.

The two got closer, Shen Yi could smell the faint scent of tobacco lingering on his body, as well as the faint smell of men’s perfume. The combination of the two created the gentlemanly atmosphere of a mature man.

It was too bad that Fu Yuhe wasn’t a real gentleman, he raised his hand to grab Shen Yi’s wrist, took his hand off his shoulder, and sneered coldly: “Do you think I’m stupid?”

Shen Yi’s expression changed, revealing a slightly aggrieved appearance and spoke with a complaint in his words: “Look, I’m telling the truth, but you don’t believe me.”

Shen Yi’s words referred to the “system task objectives”, and he admitted that he had ulterior motives for approaching him, but when these words fell on Fu Yuhe’s ears he naturally didn’t think of that, and he squinted his eyes, which were filled with inexplicable emotions.

The young man in front of him was too bold, arrogant and vile, he needed to be taught a lesson on what he should and shouldn’t say.

Fu Yuhe grabbed Shen Yi’s wrist and tightened his fingertips, his cool fingertips stuck to the skin on the inner side of Shen Yi’s wrist. Shen Yi had been obedient since he grabbed him, without the slightest intention of struggling free. At this moment, he merely took a glance at his wrist.

in the next second, Fu Yuhe turned around and tugged at his wrist, the distance between the two suddenly shortened, their eyes met, their warm and wet breath intertwined, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread in the air.

Fu Yuhe chuckled, yet there was no smile in his eyes, his eyes were dark, the hand holding Shen Yi’s wrist did not let go, and the other hand pinched Shen Yi’s chin.

“Being friends with Fu Cheng is so you can get close to me?” His thumb lightly rubbed against Shen Yi’s chin, the meaning was unclear, “Don’t play that trick on me, I’ve seen too many people like you, don’t go around playing those small tricks in front of me.”

Shen Yi said innocently: “But what I said is true.”

Fu Yuhe: “You sure are hard-mouthed1.”

Shen Yi almost said, “I have other places which are also pretty hard.”, fortunately, he stopped himself in time before he spoke, because he realised if he said it out loud, it would have a completely different meaning rhan what he intended.

“I feel like no matter what I say, you will find some ‘evidence’ to prove that what I said wasn’t true.” Shen Yi said, “It’s simply because you don’t believe in me.”

Fu Yuhe: “Are you worthy of my trust?”

Shen Yi said boldly: “Of course I am.”

Fu Yuhe: “…”

Shen Yi’s eyes were very clean, completely different from the sweet-nothings he kept sprouting out. Looking at him was enough for people to get hooked.

In the middle of their confrontation, Fu Yuhe let go of his chin.

A light-coloured fingerprint was left behind on Shen Yi’s chin, which showed just how much strength Fu Yuhe used just now.

The incandescent light in the bathroom made people’s skin white, and the red mark was rather eye-catching and dazzling, and there was another kind of feeling that he couldn’t explain. Shen Yi retracted his hand, and there were fingerprint marks left on his wrist.
