“You like sleeping on the sofa that much?”

“Uh huh!” The actor nodded vigorously. “I love sofas.”

Gong Jie was dumbstruck. He studied the actor carefully and suddenly demanded, “Why? What are you so afraid of?”

Gong Jie snorted. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in you. Just don’t sneak up on me.”

“Who would sneak up on you?”

Hua Jin added, “I don’t like sleeping with men!”

“Alright.” Gong Jie said coolly, “Don’t tell me you like men?”

Again, the actor had to be glad he wasn’t drinking water. He would have choked to death in shock.

“Who likes men!?”

“You…”

Gong Jie said, “You look gay to me.”

“…”

“Besides, I’ve heard many rumors that you prefer men to women.”

“Says who?”

“Entertainment magazines.”

“Who would have guessed…” The actor teased, “The busy Young Master Gong is actually bored enough to buy entertainment magazines?”

“I read them on the plane.”

“…”

Gong Jie added, “If you don’t like men, why do you seem so guilty?”

The actor snorted in derision. “Even if I liked men, I’d never fall for one like you.”

“Oh, what am I like, exactly?”

“Overbearing, per…” The word “pervert” almost escaped his lips when he saw the look on Gong Jie’s face and gulped.

Gong Jie looked at him coldly, the corners of his thin lips curling upwards. He suddenly leaned forward slightly to close the distance between himself and Hua Jin.

When Hua Jin saw the other man leaning in, he reared back as though he couldn’t wait to put some distance between them. However, Gong Jie was getting closer and closer, so much so that the warm breath escaping his lips suddenly enveloped the tip of Hua Jin’s nose. It was as though Gong Jie’s lips had a unique heat that made his face flush.

He was not aware that his own face was burning hot, but when Gong Jie saw that he was blushing strangely, he was intrigued.

“Why are you blushing?”

“…”

“Don’t tell me you’re feeling shy?”

“Why are you coming so close to me?”

“I realize that I don’t hate you as much.”

“…?”

“At least, I’m surprisingly not disgusted with you now that you’re a woman.” As he spoke, he noted Hua Jin’s deepening blush and relished in the actor’s reaction. Gong Jie straightened and remarked, “Ah, I see you do like men.”

“Says who?!” As though eager to prove himself, Hua Jin shot to his feet, grabbed the blanket from the sofa, and stormed into the room. “If I’m going to sleep in a bed, so be it. I’ve been offered one. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t?”

Unruffled, Gong Jie turned and watched Hua Jian enter the room. He raised his broad eyebrows, but said nothing. Instead, he headed to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, the actor carried his blanket into the room and lay down on the bed, wrapping it tightly around his body.

Within moments, he heard the sound of running water. Obviously Gong Jie was in the shower.

He increasingly felt that something was wrong with this scenario. It was like most couples in a hotel… Damn it, why was he even thinking this way!

Furthermore…

Why was he wrapped up so tightly? It was as if he was guarding against something. Wasn’t it perfectly normal for two men to share a bed?

He had even shared a bed with his manager when he had been away on business in the past. He felt at ease… he did not feel cramped and nervous, as if something might happen between him and Gong Jie!
