Fei Bai didn’t expect that the first person to call him today was not Xu Geyang, but Luo Yusen.
Luo Yusen said on the phone that there was an important recording in the recorder he gave him yesterday, and he needed to come over now to pick it up.
Fei Bai swallowed hard and tentatively asked, “Can you come by tomorrow, or maybe in the afternoon?”
“No.” Luo Yusen rejected him succinctly.
Fei Bai said stiffly, “Okay, then I’ll wait for you at home.”
After hanging up the phone, he began to panic. Thinking about what would happen if Luo Yusen ran into Xu Geyang when he came over. His plans for revenge against his ex and the high-paying part-time job that was as hard to find as a needle in a haystack would both be ruined.
Geez, God is really good at playing with people.
However, maybe it wouldn’t be as bad as he thought. Perhaps Luo Yusen and Xu Geyang could perfectly avoid each other.
Fei Bai sat anxiously, holding his phone. In his mind, he saw a map with two small dots moving in the direction of his house – one dot was his ex-boyfriend, and the other dot was his ex-boyfriend’s lover. This map could turn into a battlefield diagram at any moment.
Over half an hour later, Fei Bai heard the doorbell ring. He moved to the door and asked who it was.
If it was Luo Yusen, that would be fine. But if it was Xu Geyang, he would have to quickly put on his “I don’t care about my ex” face. If, unfortunately, it was both of them…
He wouldn’t open the door.
“It’s me.”
Thankfully, it was Luo Yusen’s voice.
Fei Bai breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door to let him in.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but secretly regret that Luo Yusen’s coming to his house was a good opportunity to get closer, but it happened to be today.
Luo Yusen stood motionless at the door.
“Oh, it’s alright. You can just come in with your shoes on.” Fei Bai said, taking the opportunity to tug at his cuff.
Luo Yusen’s chin tilted toward the shoe rack by the door. “Aren’t there slippers here?”
Fei Bai looked and saw a pair of Xu Geyang’s slippers still on the rack. He had forgotten to remove them when he cleaned up yesterday.
He slapped his forehead and hurried back into the room to grab a piece of paper. He crumpled the shoes in it and threw them into the box filled with Xu Geyang’s stuff.
Luo Yusen: “…”
Fei Bai realized that Luo Yusen was looking at him and realized that he needed to explain his actions. “Shixiong, please don’t misunderstand. These shoes are…mine”
“Ex-boyfriend,” the three words almost slipped out of his mouth, but he managed to stop himself.
It was dangerous to mention Xu Geyang in various ways in front of Luo Yusen.
Fei Bai thought for a while, then changed his words. “I especially use these shoes to kill flies. They’re dirty and need to be thrown away.”

After saying that, he ran into the bedroom and started rummaging through his backpack. He had forgotten to take out the voice recorder before Luo Yusen called.
Fei Bai searched for a long time but couldn’t find it, and he started to panic. He remembered clearly that he had put the voice recorder in his backpack yesterday.
Hurry, if he delays any longer, Xu Geyang will be here.
Fei Bai grabbed his backpack and looked around the room. Could the voice recorder have fallen out and rolled into some corner?
Just when he was about to start a thorough search in the less than ten-square-meter room, the doorbell rang again, and it rang continuously, indicating that the person outside was very impatient.
Fei Bai’s mind was full of only one thought, finished. He is finished.
Heaven is punishing him.
No, this is too miserable, the revenge plan has to end in embarrassment before it even starts.
When he opened the door later, the scumbag and Xiaosan will recognize him and laughed at him mockingly. Does he still have the face to live in this world?
No, he can’t just admit defeat, at least he has to struggle.
A surge of determination, coming from an unknown source, ignited within Fei Bai. He dropped his backpack and rushed to the living room, grabbing Luo Yusen’s wrist and dragging him into the bedroom.
Luo Yusen looked at the child in bewilderment. “What are you doing?”
“Shixiong, I don’t have time to explain. Just stay here and don’t open the door. I’ll be back in a moment,” Fei Bai said urgently.
Without waiting for Luo Yusen’s response, he ran out and firmly closed the door behind him.
The doorbell continued to ring incessantly. Fei Bai quickly tidied his hair, took a deep breath, and opened the door. “Alright, stop pressing the doorbell.”
Xu Geyang still had that carefree demeanor, with his permed bangs falling over his narrow eyes. He smirked, even without saying a word, appearing as though he was teasing someone.
The moment Fei Bai saw him, he felt a twinge in a certain part of his heart. Just a second before his calm expression started to peel away, he bent down and dragged a nearby cardboard box over, kicking it outside with his foot. “It’s all here. Take it and leave.”
Xu Geyang glanced down mockingly. “One thing is missing.”
“What’s missing?” Fei Bai asked warily.
Leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed, Xu Geyang said, “The box of condoms in the bedside table.”
His tone was so casual, so casual that Fei Bai was certain it was intentional.
Intentional to disgust him.
If it weren’t for the fact that Luo Yusen was still in the bedroom, Fei Bai would have cursed Xu Geyang with all the profanities he could think of. He suppressed the urge to kick Xu Geyang where it hurts and just muttered under his breath, asking if Xu Geyang had no shame.
“Oh, not giving them, huh?” Xu Geyang chuckled, leaning closer to Fei Bai’s ear. “Have you been thinking about me all week for your self-pleasure?”
The familiar scent wafted over his skin, and what used to be intoxicating now only made Fei Bai feel disgusted. He pushed Xu Geyang away like a rabbit with its tail stepped on. “Get lost!”
“Just some condoms, what’s the big deal? You wait,” Fei Bai retrieved his hand from Xu Geyang with disgust, turned, and walked towards the bedroom.
The moment he grasped the door handle, he suddenly wondered if he should tell Xu Geyang who was in his bedroom right now.
He knew Xu Geyang too well. During their relationship, Xu Geyang had been excessively paranoid, even getting jealous if Fei Bai exchanged a few words with a classmate. What would happen if he found out that his ex-boyfriend was in someone else’s bedroom?
Fei Bai’s grip on the door handle tightened, but he managed to control himself.
He and Luo Yusen hadn’t done anything, so at most, it would just leave Xu Geyang with some resentment. It wouldn’t cause any substantial damage.
He cracked the door open just a little, and quickly slipped inside, not wanting Xu Geyang to see the person inside.
As soon as he closed the door behind him, Fei Bai felt a shadow looming over him.
Luo Yusen stood very close to him, his palm pressing against the doorknob as he looked down at Fei Bai. He could smell the faint scent of aftershave from Luo Yusen.
“… My ex-boyfriend,” Fei Bai forced himself to say.
If he had to die, then so be it. If Luo Yusen insisted on leaving now, he wouldn’t be able to stop him.
Luo Yusen paused for a few seconds after hearing this response. He had guessed the special nature of the person outside the door when he saw Fei Bai’s nervous and hurried actions. It was probably his boyfriend.
When this realization struck, he felt a slight annoyance. Having a boyfriend and still coming to provoke him, this kid had some guts. Did he not know who he was dealing with?
Unexpectedly, it was his ex-boyfriend.
Luo Yusen asked with a hint of interest, “Why can’t he see me?”
Fei Bai couldn’t say, “Because he’s your boyfriend now.”
Of course, he couldn’t say that. Instead, he swallowed hard and said, “Because… because I’m afraid he’ll feel inferior.”
Even though it sounded insincere, like something he had made up on the spot to please Luo Yusen, he still loosened his grip on the doorknob and took a step back. “How long do I have to stay here?” Luo Yusen asked.
Fei Bai let out a sigh of relief. For now, he had stabilized the situation on Luo Yusen’s side.
“I’ll get him something and he’ll go right away.” Fei Bai put his hand on Luo Yusen’s shoulder and pushed him to the side of the bed with a little effort. “Brother, you rest for a while.”
He opened the drawer of the nightstand like a thief and felt the box of condoms after walking out and tucking them into his pocket.
He was so anxious that he accidentally slid the condom to the ground and slid it all the way to Luo Yusen’s feet.
Luo Yusen saw clearly what it was, his Adam’s apple moved, and his eyes became a little complicated.
Fei Bai was about to bend down to pick them up when a hand reached out before him, holding the box of condoms and offering it to him, accompanied by a deep voice, “You dropped something.”
He didn’t dare to look at Luo Yusen’s expression, so he took the box and quickly walked away without even saying “thank you.”
Outside the door, Xu Geyang was bent over, rummaging through the box of things. Fei Bai forcefully threw the condoms at his chest. “Take these and get lost.”
However, Xu Geyang didn’t bother picking them up. He glanced in the direction of Fei Bai’s bedroom. “It took you quite a while to find a condom, huh?”
“Why do you care?” Fei Bai replied with disdain.
Xu Geyang continued to inquire, “Are you alone?”
The implication behind this question was evident. Fei Bai retorted irritably, “Half a person at home, and I’m afraid you’d be scared to death.”
Xu Geyang was momentarily silenced, seemingly about to say something more, but Fei Bai preemptively slammed the door shut before he could speak.
After a while, there were sounds of dragging the cardboard box outside the door, followed by footsteps descending the stairs.
Fei Bai peeked through the peephole to confirm that Xu Geyang had left. He couldn’t believe his luck; he had managed to avert a disaster.
Now, he just needed to delay Luo Yusen a bit longer to ensure he wouldn’t run into Xu Geyang when he left.
He also realized that he still hadn’t found the voice recorder. He cursed himself for forgetting about it. Where could it be?
Fei Bai returned to the bedroom and pretended to calmly search through the room. Meanwhile, Luo Yusen sat on the bed, watching him search with composure.
As he hesitated about whether to get on the ground and check under the bed, Luo Yusen spoke in a calm tone, “Did you lose it?”
