Chapter 4

In the bathroom, Qin Shaocheng lifted his wet forelocks, revealing his clean forehead. Hot water flowed down his firm muscles. His desire had not completely subsided. When he closed his eyes, he could picture the body of Jiang Yishan and hear his moans.

Qin Shaocheng felt regret and hit the wall with his fist.

After washing, he pushed the door open, and he saw Jiang Yishan standing outside with only a thin shirt on. Qin Shaocheng had a cold look on his face, but Jiang Yishan still hugged his shoulder and gave him a smile. “Can you hold me?”

Qin Shaocheng shrugged him off with a wave of his hand.

“You’re still ignoring me?” Jiang Yishan frowned. “Why won’t you talk to me?”

Jiang Yishan couldn’t understand why Qin Shaocheng turned out like this. When he saw the hesitation and struggle in Qin Shaocheng’s eyes, he thought he had a chance. However, all his buttering up didn’t seem to yield even half the effect he wanted.

He missed Qin Shaocheng so much. He wanted to talk to him and hug him. Jiang Yishan’s heart was sour. In the past, Qin Shaocheng loved him very much [1]. Now, did he not like it when Jiang Yishan took the initiative?

Did he not like it when he’s wearing his shirt?

Did he not like him anymore? [2]

But he could not ask him these questions. At least, not now, when Qin Shaocheng was still angry.

When Qin Shaocheng had to go, Jiang Yishan couldn’t bear it. “I know you’re still angry with me, which is why you treat me like a stranger. But please, don’t treat me as an enemy, okay?”

Listening to him speak in a low voice, Qin Shaocheng’s jaw tensed. “What do you want?”

“I just want to see you and talk to you.”

“And then, what? Ask for money? Or let me intercede with the boss who offended you?”

“I don’t have such intentions.” Jiang Yishan frowned.

Qin Shaocheng said with exasperation, “Jiang Yishan, you said the same thing four years ago.”

“I really don’t!”

Jiang Yishan was anxious. He made a lot of mistakes in the past, and now he wished that he could turn back the clock and set things right. He grabbed Qin Shaocheng’s arm: “I was wrong, I know this now. I really just want to see you. I miss you too much.”

“You missed me?” Qin Shaocheng sneered. “Why didn’t you miss me in the last two years?”

“I…”

Qin Shaocheng turned to look at him. “If you were not desperate and had nowhere else to go, would you have come back to me?”

Jiang Yishan was tongue-tied. He had been preoccupied with how popular he was, and had no courage to come back even though he had thought about it. This time, because of the exposure of his sexuality and the collapse of the performing arts industry, the people around him left him. Only then did he realize how important Qin Shaocheng was to him.

He felt guilty. Even now, he didn’t have the face to apologize to Qin Shaocheng. He was afraid of seeing Qin Shaocheng’s look of disgust if he came to say sorry.

“I know.” Jiang Yishan said. “I know I was wrong…”

Qin Shaocheng did not believe his words at all: “Or did you hear that I was going back to the Qin family, so you were brazen? Want to coax me to help you pave the way again?”

Jiang Yishen was stunned. “What?”

Qin Shaocheng pushed him. “You quickly give me away.”

“You speak clearly. You want to go back?” Jiang Yishan pulled Qin Shaocheng back. “You want to go back to the Qin family?”

At this moment, Jiang Yishan panicked. He finally understood why Qin Shaocheng, a soft-hearted man, was so hard-hearted that he seemed to be a different person. What happened to his relationship with the Qin family was Jiang Yishan’s fault. [3]

“I don’t know anything!” Jiang Yishan firmly grasped Qin Shaocheng’s wrist. “I admit, I didn’t say anything before to soften your heart! I just want–I swear, I had no idea you were going back.”
