BL - One Night In Pingjing

The minute he walked through the door, he noticed an object flying towards him. Instinctively, he dodged. When he peeked at the object, he noticed it was a purse. Xuan Tianmei"s purse.

"You f.u.c.king idiot," Xuan Tianmei cursed as she threw another object at him.

"Aiya! Chill, won"t you?" Xuan Tianyi questioned as he again dodged the object. This sister of his was bats.h.i.+t crazy.

Xuan Tianmei threw herself into her brother"s arms, cursing at the same time, "You idiot. You had me so worried about you."

Xuan Tianyi held her in a tight embrace and apologized, "I know. I"m sorry. I should"ve called."

"You didn"t pick up my calls either. I was so worried about you. After you came back from jail, you followed me home, then just disappeared for almost two weeks. How"s that fair?"

"It"s not, I"m sorry."

Xuan Tianmei broke into a small sob and held Xuan Tianyi tighter. "You"re such an idiot."

"I know," Xuan Tianyi agreed with her. He was an idiot that didn"t deserve her love. "Don"t cry anymore, I"m here now."

Xuan Tianmei pulled away and cleaned the tears from her eyes. "Who"s crying? Do you think you can make me cry?"

"So you"re not crying because of me?"

Xuan Tianmei shook her head.

"You"re not even crying at all, Huh?" Xuan Tianyi teased.

Xuan Tianmei shook her head again.

"So, I"m not the reason you look like a hag?"

"Who looks like a hag?" Xuan Tianmei threw a small, painless, punch at her brother"s chest.

"Ah!" Xuan Tianyi pretended it hurt.

Xuan Tianmei dragged Xuan Tianyi to a black sofa in the North of her office.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Seriously," Xuan Tianyi observed. "You look frazzled."

"Really?"

Xuan Tianyi held Xuan Tianmei"s face with both hands, then released it. "Yeah. Your eyes are sunken and your hair is unkempt."

"Ai! See what you did to me."

Xuan Tianyi smiled with sadness in his eyes. "I"m sorry. I should"ve called."

"It"s alright. But what have you been up to? Why did you disappear like that?"

"So many questions. Which do you want me to answer first?"

"All of them."

"Ah! I just remembered something."

"What?"

"Can you loan me some money?"

"Of course. Wait! Is that why you came here?"

Xuan Tianyi chuckled. "No. Of course, it wasn"t. It"s just that I was here and I suddenly remembered I could ask you, so I did."

"Okay. How much do you want?"

"Err… Like a thousand dollars."

"What do you need that kind of money for?"

"Upkeep. Till I get paid for my next job."

"Didn"t they pay you for your last job?"

"They did."

"What did you do with the money?"

"If I told you, you wouldn"t believe it."

"Try me."

"I…" Xuan Tianyi scratched his head. This would be difficult to explain. "I... bought a Rolex for my boyfriend."

"You have a boyfriend." Xuan Tianmei said flatly.

Xuan Tianyi nodded.

"And you bought a Rolex."

Xuan Tianyi nodded again.

Xuan Tianmei sighed. "If you don"t want to tell me what you did with your money, that"s your business. It has nothing to do with me. Just don"t tell me a stupid lie."

Xuan Tianyi chuckled. "I told you you wouldn"t believe it."

"How can I believe something like that?"

"Well, believe it or not, it"s true."

"How so? Who would date you?"

"Literally anyone would date me. Do you see how handsome I am?"

"Who"s this guy with such low self-esteem he would go out with you?"

Xuan Tianyi bit his tongue. How would Hua Zhendan react if he learned what Xuan Tianmei had just said about him?

"He doesn"t have low self-esteem. We"re in love with each other." Xuan Tianyi explained.

Xuan Tianmei"s face had turned pale from disbelief. "You"re in love with each other."

"Very much so."

"I don"t understand any of this."

"What"s difficult to understand? I met a guy, I fell in love and he loves me too, so we"re dating."

"When and where exactly did you meet this man?"

"At the French Red Wine Pub. And we... Got together the night I was arrested."

Many things ran through Xuan Tianmei"s mind at that moment. "Is it someone I know? I have a feeling it"s President Hua. Please don"t tell me it"s President Hua. It"s him, isn"t it? That was why you bought a Rolex, right? To try and buy his affection?"

Xuan Tianyi frowned at her as she kept mumbling. She was so unsettled that he might be dating Hua Zhendan. It was difficult to imagine how she would react if she found out who his boyfriend truly was. "What"s so bad with me dating Hua Zhendan anyway?"

"Everything. He"s your boss. Are you a fool? People would think you"re getting favors from him because he"s your boss. And you never think of me. I would feel awkward all the time. And if you guys broke up, my job would be in jeopardy. Even yours."

"Ai! All of these plenty talk because you don"t want me to date him? You can rest easy, he"s not the one I"m dating."

Xuan Tianmei sighed in relief. "That"s good."

Xuan Tianyi frowned. He didn"t like that he had lied to his sister about his relations.h.i.+p. Still, he couldn"t help the sentiment that his affair with Hua Zhendan was something he ought to protect from everyone. Including her. Everything has been going swimmingly for them and he didn"t want that to change. This little protest from her was a kind of negative energy he didn"t want near this good thing he had going.

"Is it Tan Yao?"

"Are you crazy? Why would it be Tan Yao?"

"Why not?"

"Because I hate that guy."

"I see... Well, is he someone I know?"

Xuan Tianmei had never been this intrusive in his life. It was nearly funny to Xuan Tianyi. "Are you gonna give me the money?"

"Of course, I am. But your photoshoot is tomorrow. Do you really need the loan?"

"Wait. Tomorrow?"

"Yeah. At the Blue Sea Beach. You didn"t know that?"

"No. I wasn"t aware of that."

"You should confirm from President Hua. He"s your manager, isn"t he?"

Xuan Tianyi nodded with a frown on his face. Why didn"t Hua Zhendan tell him this earlier? He quickly concluded that Hua Zhendan must have had his reasons.

"I"ll ask him."

Just as he spoke, Xuan Tianyi"s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was Hua Zhendan. He smiled. His heart still skipped a beat whenever Hua Zhendan called him. Reluctantly, he rejected the call and tucked the phone in his pocket.

"Oh! You"re not going to get that?"

"No. I"ll just call back later."

"It was your boyfriend, wasn"t it? You had such a big smile on your face when the phone was ringing."

"I... I"ll call him back later."

Back in his office, Hua Zhendan was irritated. Xuan Tianyi had never rejected his call before. Impatiently, he rang Su Yang who picked up immediately.

"h.e.l.lo."

"Where"s Xuan Tianyi right now?"

"With his sister. In her office. Why?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I"m sure. Why wouldn"t I be sure?"

"Who else is there?"

"No one. It"s just the both of them."

"Okay." Hua Zhendan said as he sighed in relief.

Su Yang chuckled at the other end of the line.

"What"s funny?"

"I know he rejected your call. Is that why you"re calling me? Are you that insecure?"

"What? How do you...?"

"Remember that software I installed on his phone? Not only can I see and hear him through his camera and voice recorder, but I can also see all his text messages and call history."

"That"s a little invasive, isn"t it?" Hua Zhendan was distraught.

"You hired me. And you"re worried about his privacy? When are you going to tell him about me?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because... I"m not an expert in relations.h.i.+ps but I think these are the sort of things couples talk about."

"So you want me to tell him I have someone stalking him? And that that someone has access to his call messages, can read his texts and can listen to his every conversation?"

Su Yang thought about it for a minute before replying. "Yeah. You can"t tell him that. You"re f.u.c.ked. And you should probably turn off his phone when you guys are about to do the nasty. I really shouldn"t be able to hear all of that stuff."

"s.h.i.+t!" In spite of himself, Hua Zhendan cursed.

Su Yang wanted to be professional, but she was fond of teasing Hua Zhendan. Now that she had started, she couldn"t stop herself. "You"re so prim and proper. Who knew you could be so nasty in bed? I would"ve sworn you only did it from the front. And that thing you do with the chocolate syrup—"

"Well, that"s minus $500 from your payment for this week." Hua Zhendan interrupted her. He didn"t want to hear about his s.e.x life from Su Yang.

"You can"t do that. We were just having a conversation."

"No. You were teasing your boss."

"My boss sucks."

"Minus another $500."

"f.u.c.k!"

"Want me to deduct another 500?"

"No. I"m sorry, sir?"

Hua Zhendan smiled. Once again, he had bent him with a snap of his finger. Recalling something, he frowned. "By the way. I have a bone to pick with you."

"About what?"

"Your duty isn"t just to shadow Xuan Tianyi. You"re also supposed to protect him. The day he got arrested, why did you let those cops beat him up?"

"Well, you called the cops on him. I thought that was what you wanted. Why would I dare intervene?"

Hua Zhendan rubbed his temple. What kind of logic was this, how could he want anyone to hit Xuan Tianyi?

Su Yang continued, "Plus, he really wasn"t supposed to put his hands on any of the officers."

"And they"re allowed to put their hands on him?"

Su Yang shrugged. "Cops can be s.h.i.+tty like that."

"Do you have their names?"

"Of course. I"ll check my files and text them to you."

"Great."

"What do you plan to do?"

"Xuan Tianyi got hurt. Someone has to pay for that."

"When were you going to tell me about the photoshoot?" Xuan Tianyi asked Hua Zhendan, his bottom perched on the edge of Hua Zhendan"s table.

"Now. That"s why I was calling you." Hua Zhendan stared into the face of his lover as he spoke.

"Oh!" Xuan Tianyi looked away.

"Why didn"t you pick up my calls?"

"I was with Xuan Tianmei."

"And?"

"She doesn"t know we"re dating."

Hua Zhendan raised a brow. He had this notion that Xuan Tianyi told his twin sister everything. "Why not?"

"She wouldn"t approve of it."

"Why not? I"m not good enough for you?"

"No. It"s just that... You"re my boss. And her boss. While we"re dating, she"ll feel awkward the whole time. And she"ll be scared it would cost her her job if we broke up."

"Interesting."

"Does she think I"m so unprofessional I"ll just fire her if you and I broke up?"

Xuan Tianyi leaned in so his lips were inches away from Hua Zhendan"s. Staring at the other man"s mouth the whole time, he said, "You"re talking to me about our relations.h.i.+p at work. In your office. That"s already so unprofessional for you."

Hua Zhendan didn"t know if that was Xuan Tianyi"s intention, but a bulge quickly appeared in his trousers. He blinked in an almost futile attempt to control himself.

Xuan Tianyi pulled away and chuckled lazily.

Hua Zhendan frowned. "What"s funny?"

"Remember when you agreed to date me? You told me you wouldn"t give me special treatment when we"re at work."

"Do you count this as me giving you special treatment?"

"Just how many people can come into your office and sit down like this?"

Hua Zhendan relaxed on his chair and stared at Xuan Tianyi. Everything he was doing right now was unruly and would vex him if he were someone else. But since it was Xuan Tianyi, Hua Zhendan wasn"t vexed, he was turned on. Frustrated, he muttered to himself. "I really am in love with the b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

"What?"

"Nothing. I didn"t say anything. But... About why you don"t want to tell Xuan Tianmei about us... It seems like you"re preparing yourself for a breakup."

Xuan Tianyi"s eyes widened in what was either shock or surprise. "What? No. Of course not."

Hua Zhendan said nothing. He only noted Xuan Tianyi"s reaction with amus.e.m.e.nt.

Xuan Tianyi mistook this for doubt. "I"m serious. I CANNOT lose you."

Hua Zhendan nodded nonchalantly. He had a feeling Xuan Tianyi was going to burst into a serious love declaration. He wanted to see that happen.

Xuan Tianyi didn"t disappoint. "Jesus, Hua Zhendan. I don"t even remember what my life was like before I started dating you. You give me so much happiness and peace of mind. Both of those things are exactly things I didn"t even know I wanted." Xuan Tianyi leaned in and wrapped his arms around Hua Zhendan"s neck. "Please, don"t bring up that kind of talk anymore. You"re going to kill me."

"Xuan Tianyi?" Hua Zhendan called softly.

"En?"

"You"re cheesy."

Xuan Tianyi didn"t mind that one bit. He just gave Hua Zhendan a kiss on his neck.

Hua Zhendan"s erection was becoming very uncomfortable. "And please, let me work."

"Oh!" Xuan Tianyi pulled away from Hua Zhendan. "Should I go away?"

"No. Go sit over there." Hua Zhendan pointed to the couch in his office.

Xuan Tianyi smiled. "You"ll miss me if I leave, right?"

"What"s there to miss?"

Xuan Tianyi rolled his eyes. "Mark my words. One day, the tables are going to turn and you"ll be the one chasing after me."

"I"ve always hated running."

"You don"t need to love something to do it."

Hua Zhendan nodded in agreement. "Fair argument."

"So, are we going to the beach today? I"m not prepared. Xuan Tianmei says everyone is leaving this evening." Xuan Tianyi asked after sitting on the sofa.

"I was thinking you"d go tomorrow. Honestly, that was why I didn"t tell you earlier."

"Why?"

"I"m not going, I have to work. You"ve held onto me tightly at night two weeks in a row. I presumed you wouldn"t want to spend one night without me."

"You self-important d.i.c.k."

"Oh! Was I wrong?" Hua Zhendan smirked. "If I was, you can go today. I"ll give you my credit card so you can buy whatever you would need along the way."

"a.s.shole." Xuan Tianyi knew Hua Zhendan didn"t just want to admit he"d miss him.

Hua Zhendan chuckled. "You should tell me what you want fast."

"I want to stay with you tonight and leave tomorrow."

Hua Zhendan smiled again. He loved how he was always the winner when it came to Xuan Tianyi.
