Damn it, I don't like men, so why did my heart flutter for a moment?
I'm straight… I'm straight… I'm straight…, he kept repeating this to himself in his mind, and was finally able to suppress that random feeling that came out of nowhere.
"What's wrong? You're not actually falling for my words, are you?" Gu Xingxian raised an eyebrow and said.
After hearing his provocative words, the thought of punching him finally took over Lin Yuan's mind. He raised his hand and punched him in the face. "Go to hell, you idiot!"
Ah, that felt so good! He wanted to do this for a long time.
"Oh my god, brother, you okay?" Gu Lili was trying to get through the crowd and then saw her brother being punched by Lin Yuan.
She let him lean on her shoulder. "I'm fine." Gu Xingxian said.
"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about your face. You're not going to be disfigured, are you?" Gu Lili carefully examined his face, not missing a single detail.
"If your face were to suffer any damage, I wouldn't be able to sell your photos to the girls who have a crush on you. I would lose a lot of money that way." She continued to say.
Could he request to switch a little sister? This one is definitely not his.
He turned around to face Lin Yuan and asked, "Do you want to throw another punch?"
Lin Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression; a large bruise on his handsome face marred his overall appearance. He should have been happy to see Gu Xingxian in such a pathetic state, but he couldn't understand why he didn't feel as happy as he had expected.
He said, feigning great generosity, "Alright, I'll let it go this time, but I'm telling you, Gu Xingxian, if there's a next time, I won't forgive you so easily."
After saying that, he turned around and left without saying another word.
…
That night, he was hanging out with his "fox friends and dog companions" at the bar.
"Young Master Lin, you haven't been out for a long time. Why aren't you on a date with your girlfriend?" one of his friends asked, putting his arm around a beautiful woman beside him.
"That woman, she confessed her feelings to Gu Xingxian. Haven't you heard?" Lin Yuan said while drinking.
The friend chuckled awkwardly, "Let's not talk about that, let's just drink, drink…"
Another friend suggested, "Young Master Lin, that Gu Xingxian is so arrogant, don't you want to teach him a lesson?"
The Lin and Gu families were equally powerful, which was why he dared to say these things in front of Lin Yuan, hoping to please him.
Hearing his words, Lin Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. To conceal this feeling, he asked, "What are your thoughts?"
That friend thought playfully. "I was wondering, given how proud Gu Xingxian is, what would happen if you…" He whispered the rest of the words in Lin Yuan's ears.
After hearing what he said, Lin Yuan frowned and took a sip of his drink. "That's enough. I'm not feeling well right now, I'm going to the restroom."
He then left without giving them the time to react.
His friends exchanged glances. One of them said, "Did we perhaps offend him? Young Master Lin doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
The friend who proposed the idea retorted, "That's impossible. Young Master Lin loves hearing bad news about Gu Xingxian. Don't talk nonsense. Drink your wine."
At that moment, footsteps approached and stopped in front of them.
"What did you just say?" a deep voice asked.
The man turned his head, startled. "Young Master Gu, what brings you here?" He forced a smile, which looked even worse than a frown.
Gu Xingxian ignored his question, looking around as if searching for something. "Where is Lin Yuan?"
"Young Master Lin went to the restroom. What do you need him for? Can I do any help?" he said obsequiously.
Gu Xingxian ignored him and walked straight towards the restroom. Halfway there, he stopped and said coldly, "Next time you talk badly about someone, remember to check if that person is present, or else you won't be so lucky next time."
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan went to the restroom and threw up by the sink. He's always had a high tolerance for alcohol, but today he might be affected by what those guys said earlier.
He turned on the faucet, cupped some water in his hands, and splashed it on his face to wake himself up. He looked at himself in the mirror and felt a little sad. That guy had stolen his girlfriend, and he didn't even have the thought of revenge.
He stumbled out of the bathroom and bumped into someone's chest.
"I'm sorry," Lin Yuan apologized and tried to walk past him, but the man grabbed his wrist.
"What exactly do you want?" Seeing that the man wouldn't let go, he angrily snapped.
"Lin Yuan, it's me."
He had been drinking, and his mind was a little muddled. But even so, he couldn't forget the voice of his mortal enemy. That voice seemed to be etched into his DNA.
(P.S. Are you sure that's not true love?)
"Gu Xingxian, you still dare to come see me? Do you know how badly you ruined me?!!!" He asked viciously, but his voice was slurred because he was drunk, like a kitten scratching on his heart.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you like this." Lin Yuan couldn't quite make out what he was saying, but why did his voice sound so fragile?
Before he could even react, he found himself suspended in mid-air, being held in Gu Xingxian's arms.
"Put me down, you idiot!" Lin Yuan struggled in his arms.
Gu Xingxian patted him on the butt and said, "Don't move."
"How dare you spank my butt!!!" He shouted out of shame.
"If you move again, I'll beat you until your butt is bruised," he threatened.
The person in his arms immediately quieted down.
You just wait, there will be a day when it's your turn, Lin Yuan thought menacingly.
