I was expressionless. When I was about to move Li Xiaoming’s head away silently, I suddenly had a plan in mind.
The two of them were obviously still in a cold war. Although the reason was unknown, it was easy for something to go wrong if they continue like this. According to my years of reading experience, when the plot cannot be pushed forward, external conflicts need to be strongly inserted between them.
And sitting in the middle of the two of them, I was simply in the right place and right time. I can just do something about it.
Boss, for the sake of your love, I have to give my principles as a straight man!
I just have to pull away Li Xiaoming’s hand, I would forcibly deviate it from the original track and finally land on Li Xiaoming’s sleeping messy hair.
But at this critical moment, I failed to control my strength, and Li Xiaoming shivered suddenly. He opened his eyes in a daze, muttered a few words in his mouth, and twisted his arm to the other side to sleep.
It’s a bit awkward. I originally wanted to show an ambiguous and gentle touch to make Ning Yiheng jealous.
Ning Yiheng just quietly stared at me, not saying a word.
Cough, cough, start over.
I clasped the back of Li Xiaoming’s head with one hand, broke away the drowsy him over again, and put him back on my shoulder.
I endured the discomfort in my heart and touched Li Xiaoming’s hair.
It deserves to be the hair of a beauty. His hair volume was large and his hair quality was smooth. It felt so good. I didn’t hold back once and I touched it twice more.
Ning Yiheng’s expression subtly loosened.
Are you jealous? You’re jealous, right? When faced with the risk of your loved one being taken away by others, even blockheads should be enlightened.
F*ck, I paid too much for them!
With a smug expression on my face, I pretended to be provocative and met Ning Yiheng’s gaze.
Be jealous, boss, and then fiercely compete with me for Li Xiaoming for the jealousy in your heart.
I will never make any resistance. As long as Ning Yiheng takes a step forward, I will immediately surrender Li Xiaoming to him.
Ning Yiheng’s gaze followed my operation, very good.
Ning Yiheng’s brows knitted, very good.
Ning Yiheng’s eyes were slightly red, very good.
Ning Yiheng’s Adam’s apple was surging up and down, and the words in his mouth were about to come out, very good.
Hurry up and get jealous, hurry up and stir up your possessiveness. I’m willing to become a stepping stone on your road to love—

Ning Yiheng turned his head and continued to look out the window.
Zf: …
En? There seems to be something wrong?

Li Xiaoming was very impatient with my provocation. He pulled my hand away irritably, muttered vaguely, then narrowed his eyes and twisted to the other side to sleep.
He slept really well.
The two of them, one slept and one looked at the window while I’m sitting alone in the middle, not knowing what to do.
Why is the development of the situation always different from what I imagined?
F*ck, I, Cheng Huai Xiu, never worry about myself. No one cares about me, so I quit.
Then I’ll sleep too.
—
The feeling of sleeping on the bus was really bad. Not to mention the bumps on the road, it also poses a great challenge to the endurance of the human cervical spine.
I had a dream that there was a weight on my head which made me unable to lift my head, and I couldn’t get rid of it.
Then I woke up.
When I woke up, I only felt a thousand catties of weight pressing on my nape. My quality of sleep wasn’t good, and my head was sore and numb.
I yawned and realized I was resting on Ning Yiheng’s shoulder. Li Xiaoming had already woken up and was wearing headphones, scrolling on his phone intently.
Ning Yiheng also fell asleep at some point. His cheek was against my forehead, his warm breath swept across my face, and his five fingers were tightly clasped with mine.
Perhaps because I’m still in the dazed period of just waking up, my heart thumped violently at the moment of waking up, shaking my chest in pain.
No wonder I dreamed that there was a weight on my head, it turned out to be the boss’s head!
How could Ning Yiheng’s head be so heavy?
I don’t know why Ning Yiheng clasped my fingers, but Li Xiaoming was sitting next to me, and he must have seen Ning Yiheng and me in the same posture.
I changed my mind and thought. Since it won’t do to make Ning Yiheng jealous, isn’t it better to make Li Xiaoming jealous?
Although I never thought of pretending to be so intimate with Ning Yiheng, I also accidentally achieved my purpose.
I’m such a fucking genius.
But my neck has been in this position for too long, it was really stiff and painful, and the genius plan was temporarily suspended.
I didn’t want to alarm Ning Yiheng, so I gently broke free of his hand, but my head was sandwiched between his head and shoulders, neither moving nor motionless.
Fortunately, we happened to reach our destination at this time. The driver slammed on the brakes, and the people seated were heavily thrown forward with inertia. Ning Yiheng also woke up and raised his head in confusion.
And I was still leaning firmly on his shoulder.
It’s not that I didn’t want to move, but my neck froze.
Li Xiaoming glanced at me and quickly looked away after meeting my gaze.
Li Xiaoming was really jealous, my genius plan was progressing well.
This genius has only one problem now, which was how to move my head away from my boss’s shoulders.
It would be too humiliating to tell them the truth directly.
Before I could ask for help, Ning Yiheng took the initiative to push my shoulder away and moved his body to the side.
Ning Yiheng whispered, “You obviously don’t like… What are you still leaning so close for.”
Don’t like what? What does Ning Yiheng mean? But I didn’t lean so close to him either— I didn’t understand the meaning of his words, but I could perceive Ning Yiheng’s alienation and indifference to me.
This should be a normal thing. After all, our relationship was close enough compared to ordinary bosses and subordinates.
To him, I’m actually just an employee who usually has a lot of private contacts and tried to match him with Li Xiaoming to be in a relationship, even if he regards me as a friend—
But I still feel a little bit of unexplained loss.
Don’t tell me I also have possessiveness for my friends? Even if Li Xiaoming and I have known each other for so many years, even for Ning Yiheng, my possessiveness was too strong ba!
I never realized that I was such a jealous man.
After realizing my despicable nature, I was even more lost.
I moved my stiff cervical spine and felt that my physical discomfort had eased a little. Ning Yiheng was obviously unhappy. He didn’t want to have more contact with me.
After that, he didn’t talk to me anymore, and he always deliberately avoided my sight.
The three of us stood on the platform in silence, and no one spoke.
We took the long-distance bus all afternoon. It was already evening. It was dark early in winter.
It wasn’t five o’clock yet but the sun was already setting on the horizon with patches of red light.
Because I noticed Ning Yiheng’s deliberate alienation, my heart was extremely tormented. I kept reflecting on what I had done wrong— Could it be because I deliberately made him jealous before, which made him so angry?
Then it makes sense.
It doesn’t matter if I’m misunderstood by boss, as long as they can reconcile— After everything is over, I will explain and apologize to him well.
I instantly felt that I had become a third party who had destroyed the relationship between others. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
Although this “third party” was also fake, the sense of shame and guilt brought about by morality almost shattered me.
I’ve been stubborn since I was a child, I must get things done when I’m certain.
It’s okay for me to be wronged, but I must let Ning Yiheng and Li Xiaoming be together.
The three of us waited anxiously at the station for a while. Li Xiaoming was quickly picked up by his sister. Ning Yiheng and I were left alone to face awkwardness. I looked at Ning Yiheng, who was obviously unhappy with a flat face, and finally prepared to say something.
Since I have also become a wicked person in his eyes, it was better to be evil to the end.
I took a deep breath and said, “Boss, Li Xiaoming isn’t actually interested in me, but I have always been jealous that he is too close to you, that’s why…”
That’s right, Ning Yiheng, I’m the bad guy. I’m the bad guy who has a crush on Li Xiaoming and can’t or will get in the way of it.
Li Xiaoming doesn’t like me at all. It’s all because of my one-sided jealousy. Don’t get me wrong.
The more I say these words, the vainer my conscience was also condemned for this, but for the sake of their love, I can endure.
Ning Yiheng’s expression eased subtly.
The red clouds on the horizon reflected his cheeks, making his skin rosy and moist. Ning Yiheng tightly bit his lower lip and asked in an uncertain tone, “Are you jealous… Jealous of Li Xiaoming? Cheng Huai Xiu, you… Cough, Li Xiaoming and I also don’t—”
En? Why does it seem that something is wrong?
Author’s Note:
Ning: How can you fool around with Li Xiaoming on one hand and still get close to me on the other!
Boss was very angry, but Xiao Cheng can always coax the boss in strange ways…
ps: Don’t worry, everyone. They’re about to enter their two-way ambiguity.
You’re a f*cking genius alright, cheng huai xui.. A genius in misunderstandings 😂
For real! But it’s so funny!
I had to take a day’s break at him pettin the roommate’s hair, the second-hand embarrassment was to strong 😆
Normally, I can’t handle too much second hand embarrassment, BUT I am loving it right now!!
I can’t with them anymore 😂
Thank You for the chapter ( ∩ˇωˇ∩)♡
I don’t know if I’m prepared for two way ambiguity!
Thank you for the chapter!
