He took a cold shower, and his hair was still dripping wet after he finished. There were towels and shower caps in the bathroom. He glanced at them, squinted, and walked out.
Bai Yanfei sat in front of the sofa, his phone on the table.
He came out covered in sweat, and Bai Yanfei looked up at him, his face full of displeasure.
"You can go now, I'm tired."
"I'm not drunk."
"I know."
Ling Zeyu was shocked, but he didn't show a trace of his surprise on his face. Wasn't it said that drunk people always claimed they weren't drunk? How could Bai Yanfei believe him?
"So how much longer do you plan to stay here?" Bai Yanfei continued to press.
"I'm sleepy." Ling Zeyu mumbled as he lay down on the sofa. If he slept in the bed, Bai Yanfei definitely wouldn't stay with him, so he might as well take the initiative and sleep on the sofa himself.
"Your phone." Bai Yanfei handed both of Ling Zeyu's phones to Ling Zeyu.
The flashlight on his rarely used phone was on. Ling Zeyu, on the verge of death, sat up with a start. After unlocking it, he saw the message Bai Yanfei had sent him and immediately understood.
Bai Yanfei knew everything.
"Let me explain, I..."
"There's nothing to explain. I was just stupid, letting you lie to me once or twice. What a ridiculous lie, and I actually believed it for so long." Bai Yanfei gripped his phone tightly, finding Ling Zeyu's calm demeanor utterly laughable.
To get close to him, this man even went so far as to wear a disguise. He spent time chatting with him every day to keep him company and entertain him. He treated Mu Bai as a good friend, unaware that the person behind Mu Bai was Ling Zeyu himself.
"I didn't... You wouldn't talk to me back then, and I missed you, so I could only..."
"Is this the only way you can lie to me? Ling Zeyu, can't you stop being so despicable!"
Bai Yanfei shook his head and took a few steps back. When he saw that Ling Zeyu was completely naked, he remained silent for a while.
There was a small blanket on the bed, and he threw it onto Ling Zeyu.
"Is it fun to toy with my feelings? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment when you see me fall for you again? I rejected you on the surface, but then I was chatting with you on another account at night. Do you think I'm a complete idiot?" Bai Yanfei had already lost his temper. Seeing that Ling Zeyu was silent, he became even angrier.
There were cushions next to the sofa. Bai Yanfei picked one up and threw it at Ling Zeyu. Ling Zeyu didn't dodge. He was shocked for a moment, then picked up the cushion from the floor and put it next to Bai Yanfei.
"I don't think that way. I opened that account just to talk to you more. You've never been willing to talk to me, so what can I do? Even when you do speak to me, it's only because you have no other choice." Ling Zeyu was much more sober by now, but his forehead was still throbbing.
Bai Yanfei was no longer listening to anything. He grabbed a cushion and threw it at Ling Zeyu.
"I'll teach you to play me! I'll teach you to lie to me!" Bai Yanfei waved the pillow around. The pillow didn't hurt, so Ling Zeyu protected his private parts but didn't dodge anywhere else.
I'll beat you to death, you scumbag!
Bai Yanfei felt he hadn't beaten Ling Zeyu enough, so he straddled Ling Zeyu and slammed a pillow into Ling Zeyu's back repeatedly. He didn't dare hit any other places, in case he hurt Ling Zeyu and the man would blame him.
Ling Zeyu was shirtless, with only a small blanket that Bai Yanfei had just thrown over his lower body. The blanket had fallen off when Bai Yanfei straddled him.
My back was red from being hit by the pillow, but it didn't hurt too much; Bai Yanfei hadn't hit me too hard.
"I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to like you. I've already gone abroad and you still come to bother me. You just want to harass me because you see me doing too well, right?"
"I didn't." Although Ling Zeyu was quite stunned by the beating, he didn't forget to refute Bai Yanfei's words.
"You dare to talk back?" Bai Yanfei looked down and slapped Ling Zeyu's butt. He was sitting on Ling Zeyu's butt.
Ling Zeyu's pupils dilated; he failed to control his facial expressions.
"Still saying no? Then you're going to create this illusion of a chance encounter with me? Do you know how terrified I am to see you?"
"You did it on purpose! You scumbag, scumbag, scumbag!"
Ling Zeyu's face flushed red and then turned pale, a colorful display. It wasn't that Bai Yanfei's words were hurtful, but rather that Bai Yanfei kept moving around on him, their skin rubbing against each other.
After a while, he became very interested, and with a few drinks, he got carried away.
After Bai Yanfei got tired of hitting him, he tossed the pillow aside. Ling Zeyu's upper body was red from the blows. He pursed his lips and stared at him for a few seconds before getting off Ling Zeyu and walking out of the living room.
Ling Zeyu stretched his muscles and bones, not caring about the minor injury on his body. He felt hot all over, so he went to the bathroom again.
When he came out, he tried to transfer money to Bai Yanfei using Mu Bai's account, but a pop-up message reminded him that they were no longer friends.
He was blocked by Bai Yanfei once again.
Bai Yanfei stayed in the living room all night, and left after Ling Zeyu woke up.
Bai Yanfei was nestled on the sofa in the living room. He had been awake for a while, but he didn't dare to open his eyes because Ling Zeyu wouldn't leave.
Ling Zeyu covered Bai Yanfei with a small blanket, and then touched Bai Yanfei's cheek.
"I didn't mean to lie to you. This kind of thing won't happen again. I hope it won't leave you with any psychological trauma. If you're ever unhappy, just call me over and beat me up again. I definitely won't fight back."
Bai Yanfei's heart was pounding. He was so ashamed of what happened last night, and Ling Zeyu had to bring it up again.
Seeing Bai Yanfei's chest heaving violently, Ling Zeyu chuckled: "Rest well. Even if you don't come to see me, I'll still come in a few days. I'll die if I don't see you. Even if you hit me, I won't leave. Don't block me again, or I'll wait for you downstairs every day."
Bai Yanfei just wanted Ling Zeyu to leave his house as soon as possible. Every time he saw Ling Zeyu, he would think of what happened last night, and the thought of it made him feel ashamed.
The sound of the door closing made Bai Yanfei breathe a sigh of relief. He hadn't slept well all night, his mind filled with what he had talked about with Mu Bai. He had mentioned his feelings for Ling Zeyu to Mu Bai, although he hadn't mentioned Ling Zeyu's name, Mu Bai himself was Ling Zeyu.
Sitting on the sofa with his knees drawn up to his chest, Bai Yanfei was bewildered.
Ling Zeyu knew everything. Why did he tell Mu Bai so much? He regretted it now.
It was the weekend, and Bai Yanfei turned on the TV to start watching anime. As soon as he turned on the TV, he saw Ling Zeyu's recommendation. Just looking at that face annoyed Bai Yanfei.
Chapter 112 The Helper Appears
That evening, Bai Yanfei ordered takeout for himself. While waiting for the delivery, the doorbell rang. Without thinking much of it, he opened the door and saw a large bouquet of roses. Without a second thought, he was about to close the door.
Ling Zeyu used the same trick again, crossing his arm across.
"hiss--"
Ling Zeyu's arm was bruised again. Bai Yanfei hardened his heart and didn't open the door, but he let go of it.
"Take your hand away."
"I won't take it. Go ahead and break my hand if you dare. If you do, I'll stick with you." Ling Zeyu said defiantly.
"Are you crazy?!"
The delivery driver rushed out of the elevator and saw this scene. He thought the homeowner was being harassed and couldn't even bother delivering the food. He ran over and tried to hit Ling Zeyu on the head, but Ling Zeyu was no ordinary person. Sensing the danger, he immediately pulled his hand away and turned to dodge.
The delivery guy threw the scalding hot food at Ling Zeyu.
"What are you trying to do, you filthy scoundrel?! Don't do anything reckless, I'm telling you, I'm calling the police, and then the police will come and arrest you."
Ling Zeyu had a burn on his forearm. He frowned as he looked at the young man delivering food. The delivery guy looked very young, like he was doing it part-time.
The other party was shouting indignantly. Bai Yanfei heard the noise, opened the door and came out. His takeout was scattered on the ground. Ling Zeyu had a cold face.
"you……"
"Hey!" The delivery guy saw Bai Yanfei come out and quickly pushed him back inside. "Why did you run out here! It's dangerous here! This person is going to do something to you—"
The deliveryman turned and pointed at Ling Zeyu. After seeing Ling Zeyu's face clearly, he was stunned.
"You...you...you are that big star Ling Zeyu??" The delivery guy looked at Bai Yanfei again. He didn't recognize Bai Yanfei, but he knew Ling Zeyu. "You, a big star, actually did this kind of thing?"
Bai Yanfei thought this person was a fan of Ling Zeyu, but unexpectedly, a complete reversal occurred.
The delivery guy rolled up his sleeves and said, "I've been such a fan of yours, and you're this kind of person? You really can't trust anyone in the entertainment industry. None of you are any good people. You even broke into someone's house."
Bai Yanfei opened his lips as if to say something, but the deliveryman blocked him from behind.
"Don't be afraid. Big stars like them are definitely afraid of scandals. But his fans are scary too. You go back to your room first, I'll take care of things here."
Ling Zeyu slowly picked up the roses from the ground. Apart from a few petals falling off, the roses were not damaged.
"Are you done talking?"
"I've finished talking. What do you want to do? Let me tell you, don't do anything reckless. If I take a picture and put it online, you'll be ruined!" The delivery guy said, picking up his phone and unlocking it. Bai Yanfei saw that the wallpaper was of a general that Ling Zeyu had played before.
“It’s nothing, my boyfriend was throwing a tantrum and wouldn’t let me in the house, and you…” Ling Zeyu looked down and said, “You even spilled his takeout.”
"Takeout!" The delivery guy looked at the mess on the ground and angrily smacked his head. "Oh no, I'm going to get another bad review, waaaaah, what am I going to do?"
Bai Yanfei rubbed his temples helplessly: "I won't give you a bad review, you can leave now."
Ling Zeyu's arm was already blistered from the burns, and he definitely didn't want to go to the hospital. But Bai Yanfei couldn't just stand by and watch. It wouldn't be good if Ling Zeyu held the delivery guy responsible, so he had to persuade the delivery guy to leave as soon as possible.
"I'm really fine, you go deliver the food first."
"No, I'll give you back the money for the takeout." The delivery guy insisted on returning the money Bai Yanfei had lost, so Bai Yanfei had no choice but to accept.
"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy." He was afraid that Ling Zeyu's injury would worsen if he didn't leave soon.
"You two... really just had a fight?"
Bai Yanfei couldn't answer this question. He remained silent. Ling Zeyu nodded: "That's right, so there's nothing for you to do. Young man, do your job well."
The delivery guy was pushed away by Ling Zeyu in a daze. After the two thought he was gone, the elevator suddenly opened again.
"Oh, by the way, I saw you got burned. This medicine is quite effective. I was burned by takeout food before, so I always carry this medicine with me, but I've already used up half of it." The delivery guy touched his head sheepishly.
Are you working? Or still a student?
"It's a summer job," the delivery guy introduced himself.
"You're doing your internship next semester, right?" Ling Zeyu handed the other person a business card. "Come find me then."
Bai Yanfei was also incredulous. The delivery guy accepted the business card, but Ling Zeyu thought he was in the way. In addition, the burn on his hand was painful, and his arm was also pinched. He only wanted his little darling Yanyan to treat his wounds, so he quickly sent the delivery guy away.
"This...this..." The delivery guy stammered, staring in disbelief at the gold-embossed business card in his hand. Was he dreaming?
He had offended one of the young masters of the Su family, so even though he had excellent grades and strong business skills, no large company dared to hire him, and even small businesses did not dare to hire him.
That young master wouldn't let him find a job, so he could only earn some pocket money by delivering food, but—
He figured there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he didn't pay any attention.
"Give me your contact information." Bai Yanfei asked the deliveryman for his contact information. He didn't think the guy looked like a deliveryman. If Ling Zeyu was lying, he might be able to check the guy's performance record and see if the Lu family wanted him.
"oh oh."
After the two added each other on WeChat, Bai Yanfei habitually browsed the other person's Moments. He found the posts he saw to be quite funny.
"You can go now. I'll have someone handle this later."
After the delivery guy left, Ling Zeyu was finally able to go inside.
