PART 1

Same question, different answer.

Rong Xu was still holding onto the thin woolen scarf in his hands. Previously, he didn’t feel anything (towards Qin Cheng) in particular and nothing differed from their past relationship. But now, he suddenly felt that his fingertips were… a little hot — there was still residual body temperature left on this scarf, and that warmth climbed slowly from his fingertips all the way to the tip of his heart.

Something became different from before.

The funding for Maze City’s crew was stronger than that of Ambush’s. Thus, the hotel where Rong Xu was living today was also the only four-star hotel within Xiangshan Film and Television City. However, no matter how big a hotel room is, when two men are squeezed in front of a closet together, it would still feel quite crowded. 

Because he hadn’t given it much thought before, he hadn’t felt anything about it. But, when he suddenly realized it, even the air around them seemed to be gradually heating up.

The youth’s clear pupils trembled slightly as he stared at the man in a daze, hearing the other person repeat ——

“I wanted to come on my own.”

The room’s lighting fell onto the man from behind, casting a faint halo that encompassed his body. Perhaps due to the backlight, that already profound face appeared even more three-dimensional at this time. Those long and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to be immersed in a pool of every color spectrum, making them look deep and dark. Inexplicably…… Rong Xu felt that this person seemed to be gently examining him.

Suddenly! Rong Xu turned his head around and withdrew his gaze from Qin Cheng. He moved hastily and stored the scarf into the closet. Afterwards, he began to organize his clothes. Clearly, his clothes were already neatly hung up, but he still organized it a few more times and placed all his attention into the closet, as if trying to ignore the person beside him.

Once the clothes truly couldn’t be tidied up any further, Rong Xu smiled and spoke as he walked toward the bathroom: “I didn’t expect you to actually come, so I was a little surprised. I’m going to wash up first, can you wait a while?”

As soon as his voice fell, the young man walked directly into the bathroom, raised his hand and closed the door in a matter of seconds.

Qin Cheng: “……”

Outside the door, the cold and profound man was momentarily taken aback. He frowned and thought for a moment. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he looked up surprised in the direction of the bathroom.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Rong Xu didn’t wash up as he had just said, but rather walked over to the sink. The huge mirror reflected the beautiful face of a young man. His somewhat long hair slightly covered his eyes but couldn’t completely block the light flush on his cheeks.

After staring at himself in the mirror for a long time, Rong Xu calmly turned on the faucet, caught a bit of cold water in both hands, and started to wash his face.

Not long later, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Qin Cheng sat on the sofa but then contemplated a bit before walking over to sit on the bed — the bed was closer to the bathroom, and the clear sound of water could be better heard from there.
