In the darkness, Yu Rui was unprepared and almost fell straight into Xie Li. The young man’s muscles which were normally hidden under his shirt, slammed solidly into his face.
Yu Rui’s nose was sore and tears almost welled up in his eyes. Even if he was good at restraining himself, he couldn’t help the irritation in his heart at this moment. He pinched the hand on his clutching his waist and twisted with violent force.
“Xie Li, look at who I am!”
Xie Li felt pain in his hand, but he didn’t struggle or get angry. In the darkness, Yu Rui couldn’t see that the young man’s eyes were full of amusement and that he was suppressing a smile. He looked like a psycho.
After a few seconds of silence, he chuckled softly and withdrew his hand from Yu Rui’s loose grip.
“You walked into the dark alone and moved like a girl, and you want to blame me for seeing the wrong person?”
“….” Yu Rui was too lazy to argue with Xie Li, and stood up from the man’s embrace in the dark, which he was adjusting to, and asked with cold eyes, “Where is the switch?”
Xie Li kept silent, stood sideways, and pulled the cord of the floor lamp switch toward Yu Rui.
There was a soft click, and the room was instantly filled with soft light.
Xie Li stopped less than five centimeters away from Yu Rui, still pulling the cord of the floor lamp in his hand.
The distance was too close for Yu Rui’s comfort, so he frowned and took a step back.
Xie Li lowered his eyes, smiled quietly, and sat back down on the sofa.
“What brings you here?”
“….I have something to talk to you about.” Yu Rui’s gaze swept around the room, observing the tennis balls scattered around the sofa, “With these balls scattered like this, aren’t you afraid of falling?”
“Like you just did?” Xie Li arched an eyebrow and smiled.

The pain on the bridge of Yu Rui’s nose hadn’t disappeared completely, and the corners of his eyes have turned red. He frowned coldly at Xie Li before realizing that the man was laughing even more creepily.

Xie Li said nothing, he bent down and picked up a tennis ball from the ground, after playing with it twice in his hand, that tennis ball was thrown against the wall.
“Bang!”
The tennis ball hit the wall, bounced down the floor, and returned to Xie Li’s hand, who squeezed it and smiled, “Are you here to seek justice for Pei An An? Or do Class Presidents now have to deal with classmates’ emotional problems?”
Yu Rui suppressed the inexplicable agitation in his heart, “I said I came to find out what’s going on between you and Pei An An.”
“Then is something going on with you?” Xie Li suddenly stood up, the tennis ball in his hand was released and bounced off, but he didn’t bother with it, “Nothing is going on with her, but with you there is?”
Yu Rui’s expression turned apathetic, “I was trying to think of you as a friend, Xie Li. So I took everything you said at my house that morning seriously, but now it seems like I overthought it: you didn’t intend to treat me like a friend at all.”
“Friend? What kind of friend?” Xie Li smiled, but his eyes darkened noticeably, “Are you sure, Class President, that the kind of friend you want and the kind of friend I want are the same kind?”
Yu Rui frowned, “I don’t want to play word games with you. But I’m not going to accept people with their feet in two boats and a questionable character as friends. I’m already being kind by coming here today and trying to speak clearly to you. The rest of the choice is yours, just don’t regret it later.”
When Yu Rui finished speaking, he turned around and moved to leave the room.
Just as he was about to reach the door, he heard quick footsteps behind him, and he frowned and tried to turn. But before he could, there was a sudden squeeze on his wrist, followed by a backward twist of his arm that pressed him squarely against the wall next to the door.
The temperature in Yu Rui’s eyes chilled completely, and he uttered in a warning tone, “XIE LI.”
Xie Li stood behind him, eyes slanting down with the gloom of mountain rain, and insatiable greed and desire that could not be restrained. As he watched Yu Rui squished against the wall, he was unable to restrain himself. The most horrible voices in his heart came to the surface, whispering compulsively in his ears, urging him to let out the emotions he had buried for too long.
Xie Li couldn’t stand those voices and slowly lowered his head toward the teenager he had pinned to the wall.
“Xie Li?”
Despite having his back turned, Yu Rui detected the eeriness in Xie Li’s silence. The inexplicable anxiety in his heart made him instinctively struggle…
“What are you trying to do?”
Xie Li paused.
A few seconds later, he let out a low, muffled laugh in Yu Rui’s ear, “Too bad, Class President, that it took you until today to see that I am a man with a foot in two boats and a deceitful character…”
Yu Rui gritted his teeth.
“My thing is promiscuous relationships, bad temper, and flirting with anyone, anywhere, anytime. It’s in my character.”
Yu Rui remembered the rumors in high school about this man. He was always lazy and indifferent. There wasn’t a single good word other than overwhelming intelligence, but still… none of those bad words were related to promiscuity.
After thinking about it, Yu Rui’s expression became even icier, “Xie Li, are you deliberately looking for trouble with me?”
“Why should I seek trouble with you?”
“How should I know what kind of sickness you have?”
“Tsk.” Xie Li laughed softly and pressed again, this time he almost kissed Yu Rui’s ear, “I told you, I’m like this by default, and…. meat, vegetables, no taboos.”
The desire in this sentence couldn’t have been more obvious, but Yu Rui didn’t hear it. Xie Li leaned forward, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, and loosened his grip on Yu Rui’s wrist.
Naturally, Yu Rui did not let this opportunity slip away, so he used his strength to turn around and in the process grabbed Xie Li, pinning him directly against him.
Xie Li was a little surprised, but after recovering, he smiled happily. In particular, the breathing of the young man behind him, involuntarily aggravated by the momentary use of too much force, caused the emotions in his eyes to deepen.
“The Class President is a good fighter, shall we continue?”
Yu Rui gritted his teeth, “Are you sick?”
“You just found out?”
“I already knew! And I should have stayed away from you long ago!”
Yu Rui let go and pushed Xie Li, opened the door, and walked away.
In the open door behind him, Xie Li rubbed his wrist, the corners of his mouth slowly curved, his eyes suppressed mania.
When Yu Rui walked down the stairs, Kan Qian, who was chatting with the receptionist, turned around when she saw him coming and waved her hand with a smile, “Leaving now, handsome boy? Come back next time.”
Yu Rui nodded his head.
Only after passing a few steps, Yu Rui couldn’t hold back his suspicion after all and turned his head to look at Kan Qian.
Kan Qian blinked, “What’s wrong, handsome boy?”
“Sister Qian….” Yu Rui shouted out with difficulty the name that was too intimate for him, “You and Xie Li, are you two dating?”
Kan Qian was surprised. The next second, she bent over laughing while holding her stomach, “Hahahahahahahahaha! Who told you this funny thing to please me? Hurry up and tell me, I have to thank them properly!”
Yu Rui clenched his knuckles expressionlessly.
He had been deceived by Xie Li.
And more than once.
Yu Rui: bad dog!!!
