[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch28 - He's Good-looking and He's Got Long Legs

Song Xuanhe nodded slightly, pretending to absentmindedly watch the crowd of people passing by. He very naturally averted his gaze and changed the topic. "Since that's the case, let's head back together. Or, did you want to eat out tonight?"

Xiao Yuanmu followed his gaze, landing on an elderly couple, who were supporting each other as they walked, for a half-second. He then looked away and said in a cool tone, "Where's your car?"

"In the parking lot across the road." Song Xuanhe pointed to a store across the street. Although the store was small, there was quite a line outside. His lips curved into a smile. "I came to buy a roast goose. I heard that this shop's roast goose is delicious."

Xiao Yuanmu cast an indifferent glance at the shop and asked, "Who said that?"

"Zhou Nan."

After responding, Song Xuanhe stiffened. He didn't know if it was because he felt guilty, but his conversation with Xiao Yuanmu made him feel like he had just been caught cheating. In this scenario, he was the scummy boyfriend, and Xiao Yuanmu had just caught him in the act.

Song Xuanhe was about six or seven centimetres shorter than Xiao Yuanmu. When Xiao Yuanmu lowered his gaze, the other's slightly curled lashes were right at eye level. He stared at them for two seconds before averting his gaze. He said, "Let's go."

"Go where?" Song Xuanhe was confused for a second.

"Roast goose."

After they had bought the roast goose, they made their way to the parking lot. Song Xuanhe replayed their conversation in his head, and only then did he realize that he had been the one questioned the whole time. It was Xiao Yuanmu who had tailed him though. Song Xuanhe hadn't done anything wrong. What was there to feel guilty about?

When Song Xuanhe thought of this, he raised his chin up slightly and cast a glance at Xiao Yuanmu's profile. He coughed once and then slowly asked, "So, why were you following me?"

Xiao Yuanmu looked at him with a cool gaze for a second and said, "I left something in your car."

Song Xuanhe cocked an eyebrow up slightly when he heard this. He wasn't that easy to fool. When he spoke again, his tone now carried the same calmness and indifference as Xiao Yuanmu's when the other had been the one interrogating. "What was it? If you had left something in my car, you could have called me. Why'd you follow me?"

"My phone."

Song Xuanhe was silent for a few seconds. "Then, why didn't you ask me at the company?"

"I was busy. Didn't see you at lunch."

Song Xuanhe looked unmoved. He seemed intent on not letting Xiao Yuanmu off. "Couldn't you have come find me?"

"Okay."

Okay? What was he "okay"-ing to?

Song Xuanhe had already prepared his arguments, but just as he was to say them, this one "okay" shoved his words back down his throat.

When Xiao Yuanmu saw Song Xuanhe choke, a sliver of delight flashed through his eyes, but there was no real change in his expression. He calmly added, "I'll come find you next time."

Song Xuanhe pursed his lips. He struggled with what to say for a long time before he finally spat out an "oh." He then refrained from speaking again.

It was silent between them the rest of the way to the parking lot. When Song Xuanhe saw his parked car, he quickly walked over, creating distance between himself and Xiao Yuanmu. He pulled out his keys and opened the door. The moment he got his car door open, the elevator ten metres away from them dinged and slowly opened.
