Psycho little snake tamed by the dragon king

44) Am I in love?

After the Dragon King and Little Snake left, Ye Yun went to find Lilun.

"Where did he go?" he muttered. "Did he go to his mansion?" He sighed and headed there.

When he arrived, he found Lilun sitting in his room. The place was a mess, glass was shattered on the floor, and everything looked broken, as if someone had thrown things in anger.

"Lilun!" Ye Yun called, rushing over. He crouched beside him, eyes filled with concern. "What happened? Are you okay?"

Lilun slowly lifted his head, his eyes dark and unreadable. "So, did you agree?" he asked.

"Agree to what?" Ye Yun frowned, confused.

"Didn't Mo Yichen want to set you up with his guard dog?" Lilun asked sharply.

Ye Yun looked around at the broken things and let out a small laugh. But when Lilun glared at him, he quickly stopped, pressing his lips together.

"So, you did all this because you got mad at the thought of me being with someone else?" Ye Yun asked, watching him.

Lilun was quiet for a moment. His hands clenched into fists. "I... I just hate it." he muttered. "I hate the idea of you being with someone else."

"Then what do you want?" Ye Yun asked gently.

Lilun didn’t answer right away. He looked at the broken glass, then at Ye Yun. His lips parted slightly, but he had no answer.

Ye Yun watched him, waiting for an answer. But Lilun just sat there, silent. His expression was unreadable, but his fists stayed clenched.

Ye Yun sighed. "Lilun, if you don’t like it, then say something." he said. "You’re acting like this, but you won’t even tell me why."

Lilun’s jaw tightened. "I don’t know." he said, voice low. "I don’t understand it myself."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. "You don’t understand?"

Lilun let out a frustrated breath and ran a hand through his hair. "I just know I hate it." he muttered. "I hate the idea of someone being close to you. I hate thinking about you with them. It makes me... furious."

"Lilun" ye yun cupped his face lifting it up. "You're jealous."

Lilun’s breath caught as Ye Yun lifted his face, their eyes meeting. His skin was warm under Ye Yun’s touch, but his expression was stiff, as if he was fighting something inside him.

"I’m not." Lilun muttered, trying to turn away.

Ye Yun didn’t let him. His fingers pressed lightly against Lilun’s cheeks, keeping him in place. "Then why are you so angry?" he asked, his voice soft but teasing.

Lilun was quiet for a long moment. "I was angry when Zhu Yan abandoned me and then got together with Yichen too." he said almost to himself.

Ye Yun clenched his jaw and let go of him. "So you’re saying it’s the same?" he asked coldly. "That you’re just jealous because your best friend might be with someone else, and you won’t get as much attention anymore?"

"I don’t know." Lilun admitted. His voice was barely above a whisper. "I just... don’t want anyone near you." He grabbed Ye Yun’s hands tightly. "Yun-ge, can you not get together with others?"

"And why would I do that?" Ye Yun asked, his tone unreadable.

"I don’t like it." Lilun said. "Please don’t go to others."

"Then what should I do?" Ye Yun asked. "Stay single my whole life just because you don’t like it?"

"I-" Lilun looked into Ye Yun’s eyes but had no answer.
