And she doesn't mind at all that I, a man of similar build to you, am holding you tightly.
Yu Tang's forced smile completely crumbled.
"No one is kind to another without a reason. I think you're not just doing this because you pity me, are you?"
Mu Nancheng maintained his indifferent expression, but a hint of a smile flickered in his eyes.
He concluded about Yu Tang: "I think you're just like that woman said. The reason you took me in is because you're attracted to my beauty; it's blatant lust."
Xiao Jin burst out laughing in Yu Tang's mind: [Hahaha! A little devil?! He's definitely a little devil, hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!]
Yutang has been completely petrified.
All the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one.
On the other hand, Mu Nancheng acted as if he had Yu Tang completely under his control.
He moved a stool and sat down opposite Yu Tang, saying, "Now that makes sense, you shouldn't always pretend to be a respectable person in front of me. It's no wonder you're still a bachelor after all these years with these shady thoughts in your heart."
He paused, then adopted a questioning tone, as if interrogating a criminal, and asked, "Actually, I'm quite curious, why do you like men? Shouldn't men like women?"
"Or is it that I'm too good-looking, and you fell for me for a moment?"
Actually, you don't like men, you just like me?
In the circles Mu Nancheng used to frequent, there were quite a few wealthy young men who liked men.
She had looked at him with a disgusting gaze before. But because Old Master Mu was there, she didn't dare to go too far with him.
Therefore, Mu Nancheng actually finds people who like men disgusting.
He felt that these people were all sick.
But for some reason, when I learned that Yu Tang liked men...
It's even possible that because of his appearance, after taking him in and treating him well, he inexplicably didn't feel any aversion.
In fact, I was quite happy.
He didn't want to delve into why he was happy, but Mu Nancheng felt that he had leverage over Yu Tang, so he adopted a more arrogant attitude.
Sitting opposite him, Yu Tang could sense that if this kid had a tail, it would probably be sticking up to the sky by now.
Choosing to ignore Xiao Jin, who was already laughing like a goose in her mind, Yu Tang sighed deeply and admitted, "Since you've already guessed this much, there's no need for me to keep it a secret any longer."
He adopted a dejected and self-conscious demeanor and said, "I do like men, especially good-looking men."
"The reason we took you in is partly due to your appearance."
But I swear, in the past six months, I really haven't done anything to you that crossed any lines.
Now that you've regained your previous memories, you should understand everything.
"I admit I like you, and now that you know, it's a good time to give me a response."
Yu Tang looked up, staring directly at Mu Nancheng, and threw the question back at the boy, asking, "Are you... willing to accept me?"
"Wow! Host, that was a really direct approach! Awesome!" Xiao Jin was thrilled, shouting in his mind: [I'm so looking forward to seeing how this two-faced, arrogant, narcissistic maniac will react!]
Yu Tang's words did indeed startle Mu Nancheng.
The young man, who had initially thought he had the man's weakness in his grasp and was in complete control, was suddenly stunned.
My first thought was: Are you kidding me! How could I possibly accept a man?
You've been exposed by me, shouldn't you feel ashamed and think about how to make it up to me?
Why are you suddenly asking me to accept you?
Yu Tang saw his astonished face and secretly laughed.
He said to Xiao Jin: See? He's still too green.
After complaining, he reached out and grabbed Mu Nancheng's wrist, pulling him down onto the bed.
With his hands on the boy's shoulders, he repeated, "As you thought, I am indeed not a respectable person. Now that you've seen through me, I won't pretend anymore."
He moved closer to Mu Nancheng, almost touching the boy's nose, and asked in a low voice, "So, can you answer me? Do you... want to try with me?"
Their breaths mingled, and the ambiguous atmosphere reached its peak.
Mu Nancheng's whole body tensed up, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with Yu Tang's magnified face.
The man's aura, so different from his usual self, made his heart race involuntarily, the thumping sound making him blush.
It took him a long time to realize his lapse in composure. Mu Nancheng hurriedly pushed Yu Tang away, got up from the kang (a heated brick bed), and his legs felt weak.
She only dared to stand with her back to Yu Tang and said, "What are you trying! I don't like men! And I certainly don't like you! We're just business partners! Neither of us should cross the line!"
The hurried sounds revealed Mu Nancheng's unsettled state of mind, which amused Yu Tang so much that he covered his mouth while lying on the earthen bed to avoid laughing out loud and embarrassing the boy.
"Sigh, it seems I'm not charming enough to attract you."
Yu Tang adopted a self-reflective expression and said, "But I won't give up. No matter how long it takes, I will try my best to make you like me."
Mu Nancheng's ears burned bright red as he gritted his teeth and said, "Then try your best, but even if you try, I still won't like you!"
After saying that, he went to sit in the outer room and remained silent for a long time.
However, Yu Tang had already received Xiao Jin's report: [Host, the favorability rating has broken 50 and is now stable at 52! It seems Mu Nancheng is wavering quite a bit!]
Yu Tang: Didn't you say I'm not serious? Well then I'll just be serious and show him.
Yu Tang: But teasing this kid is quite amusing. Look at him, his tail was wagging so high just now, and now he's all shy. Come to think of it, among the villains before, only Ah Sheng is like this.
As she spoke, Yu Tang pursed her lips, a glint of light in her eyes, and exclaimed, "This is so much fun!"
Xiao Jin took in Yu Tang's expression and suddenly felt like lighting a candle for the future Mu Nancheng.
Chapter 18
Died for the villain for the eighth time (18)
After Yu Tang's outburst, it was Mu Nancheng who felt uneasy.
After dinner, he got into bed and deliberately stayed far away from Yu Tang, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, curled up on the edge, and turned his back to Yu Tang without saying a word.
Yu Tang knew that the boy must have been greatly shocked and needed some time to process it, so he didn't rush to tease him anymore.
Instead, he wisely huddled in his own spot and fell asleep shortly afterward.
He fell asleep, but Mu Nancheng couldn't sleep at all.
Hearing the even breathing behind him, Mu Nancheng coughed once, then coughed again. Only after confirming that Yu Tang did not respond did he quietly turn around, slowly crawl to the man's side, and observe Yu Tang's face by the moonlight.
It must be said that Yu Tang is really handsome.
He was the kind of handsome man Mu Nancheng saw on TV, like a celebrity.
From the side, he has deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and a strong jawline, exuding sexual tension.
Mu Nancheng envied this kind of appearance the most, rather than his own effeminate appearance, which he could never tan and was ridiculed by Mu Zehai as a bitch.
So during this time, he would often stare at Yu Tang in a daze.
Especially when the other person smiles, it initially makes him feel warm and sincere.
Today, the other party seemed to have suddenly become a different person. His aggressive aura, combined with his handsome and threatening face, made Mu Nancheng momentarily dazed.
There was even a sense of fear that we were about to be overwhelmed.
He even accused Yu Tang of lust at first sight.
Now it seems that he himself is probably less resistant to this man's face than the other man is.
The bright moonlight shone on Yu Tang's face, casting a faint white glow.
Mu Nancheng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and as if possessed, he reached out to gently stroke the man's eyebrows, nose, and then down to his lips.
Full, pale lips were touched by slender, white fingers, gently pressed, and slowly bounced back.
The warmth seeped into his heart through his fingertips, and Mu Nancheng froze.
Unconsciously, his mind began to replay the DVDs and videotapes that Mu Zehai and his cronies had watched.
The group hadn't closed the door, so Mu Nancheng, who was passing by, got a full view.
On the screen, naked men and women are kissing passionately and engaging in wild, animalistic acts.
At the time, Mu Nancheng didn't feel anything, and could even leave with a cold expression.
But now, as his fingers touched Yu Tang's lips, the scene he had witnessed back then inexplicably came to mind.
Want to... give it a try?
Thinking of what Yu Tang said that afternoon.
Mu Nancheng rose slightly, his body moving uncontrollably toward Yu Tang, and finally placed a gentle kiss on the man's lips.
After that, she retreated with lightning speed, rolled to the edge of the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and pretended to be asleep as if she hadn't done anything!
Meanwhile, Yu Tang, who was woken up again by the urge to urinate, was still mentally ranting to Xiao Jin with his eyes closed.
Yu Tang: Xiao Jin, why do these villains always like to ambush me while I'm asleep?
And he specifically chose to do this when I was awakened by the urge to urinate?
Yu Tang: If this keeps up, I'll probably develop some health problems sooner or later!
Xiao Jin burst out laughing: [Haha, no wonder they're all the same person!]
Finally, Yu Tang waited until the excited and dazed Mu Nancheng fell asleep before sighing, getting up, and going to the bathroom.
When she came back, she was still angry, so she stepped on Mu Nancheng's sleeping butt twice, muttered "pretty perky," and then crawled back into bed to continue sleeping.
The next day, Mu Nancheng continued to interact with Yu Tang with a blank expression, as if nothing had happened the night before.
However, his favorability rating of 60 and the occasional lingering gaze on Yu Tang's lips perfectly betrayed him.
Yu Tang rolled her eyes, looked up, and bumped right into Mu Nancheng.
The boy quickly looked away and continued washing the clothes in the basin, but then he heard Yu Tang's voice in his ear: "Nancheng, do you really not like me?"
Mu Nancheng froze, using his wet hand to push Yu Tang away: "Speak up, don't get so close!"
Instead, Yu Tang grabbed his wrist, his thumb rubbing intimately against his palm: "After the New Year, aren't you going back to the Mu family? Take me with you. After all, we're business partners, and I like you so much. Even if someone else betrays you, I'll still be willing to help you."
