Chapter 068 : Don't Have Time Now

He Jin didn’t know whether he was being bullied, but this domineering and ruthless Qin Yu somehow reminded him of Fire; of that man’s demonic image when he killed him in the game’s arena.

The resemblance was uncanny.

The sourness in his heart was even more uncomfortable than the physical exhaustion he was feeling. He Jin reckoned he deserved this, because even though he owed Fire, he still said those words to him in the game. Which was why now that he was being beaten by Qin Yu, he felt relieved instead, accepting it like it was his punishment.

He dropped his head, and after a moment, saw Qin Yu put his racket beside him before turning away.

He Jin suddenly panicked. His eyes followed Qin Yu’s retreating figure, guessing where the man was heading, but Qin Yu merely went to the automatic vending machine not far from where they were playing.

Qin Yu brought back two cans of 7up, threw one to him, then crouched down, long arms bracing against the ground, before plopping down to sit by He Jin’s side.

He Jin clutched the cold can, staring as Qin Yu easily opened his can and threw his head back to sip the drink. The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed, the sweat on his neck glistened under the light, making him appear oh-so-very handsome and sensual.

He Jin didn’t know why he suddenly thought of the word “sensual”. With a jerk, he turned his eyes away, his heart jumping like crazy once again…

The two of them sat in silence. Qin Yu also didn’t speak, he was frowning a little, seemingly lost in thought.

Now that he had calmed down, Qin Yu could understand why Ah Jin said those words in the game. If He Jin really was heterosexual, he would of course resent being touched by someone of the same-gender. It was normal for him to dislike being treated with intimacy by another man…

But he just couldn’t bring himself to not start anything; he couldn’t just give up. Since the moment in the infirmary when he became aware of the man’s identity, there was a voice in his head telling him- that’s right, Qin Yu, this person is the one, do not let him go.

He approached him smoothly, became friends with him, got his trust and became close to him. All was done step by step ‘til now. Qin Yu thought everything was in control, he even occasionally felt that He Jin liked him, but he never expected He Jin to suddenly make such a move…

Qin Yu crushed the empty can in his hand, his expression lost.

He Jin, who was also absent-minded, was currently thinking of Fire. His mind wandered to Fire’s words before he kissed him – “You can’t think about it”-. Somehow this one sentence made the man seem like an unreasonable child, He Jin couldn’t help but feel a headache coming… Now that he thought about it, Fire immediately sent him that ME message right after he went offline, so seems like the other man also followed him offline…

But when He Jin sent out the message saying he wanted to calm down, Fire didn’t reply anymore…

Is the purpose of this quiet time to calm myself or to hurt him?

He Jin started his smart bracelet’s projection and opened ME, scrolling back to the notification of the received 800 yuan given by the other guy last night.

Qin Yu’s left wrist flashed a bit. He Jin didn’t notice anything and sent a message: “I still can’t accept your money. I’ve returned it to you, don’t give it back to me. We’ll talk in the game at night.”

Qin Yu’s left wrist flashed once again. This time He Jin was surprised, but Qin Yu moved his wrist, using his body to block his sight…

This move seemed too deliberate, like he was dodging on purpose, which left He Jin slightly baffled. However,  before he could ponder about it, Qin Yu suddenly asked: “Want to play another game? I won’t ‘ bully you this time.”
