Chapter 77: A Special Way of Confessing (2/2)

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Then why are you still messing with me?

[Grey-white SS]: I’m not joking. I am seriously confessing to you.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: But you don’t know anything about me. Not my name, my appearance, nor if I’m even male or female. I could be a seventy or eighty year old man for all you knowwww…

It might have just been Xiao Yu’s imagination, but after he sent out that long text, he could have sworn he heard a light laugh.

The sound came from the bedroom.

[Grey-white SS]: I don’t mind.

[Grey-white SS]: You were able to move my heart a long time ago.

[Grey-white SS]: I do not know what inspired you, but at least on my part, I truly love your designs. I also love the you who is able to imbue your designs with a soul.

[Grey-white SS]: Oh, that’s right, should I also feel fortunate that you’re only twenty-five?

Xiao Yu placed both of his paws on top of the iPad, but after hovering over the keyboard for a long time, he was unable to type out anything.

Stunned, he stared at the last three messages Yan Jin had sent, feeling his hamster body burning up.

Yan Jin always liked him?

Starting from…seven years ago?

Just because, just because of a single design? One cheap little bell?

*Screech* ——

A sharp claw scratched the screen, leaving behind a shallow mark.

Xiao Yu was already lost in his confusion. His iPad screen was the last thing he needed to worry about.

Xiao Yu craned his neck toward the master bedroom, as if he could somehow see Yan Jin’s expression from where he was sitting.

Unfortunately, even though the door to the master bedroom was open, all he could see was the head of the bed. Although he could see that the bed was still missing a pillow, he was unable to see the desk Yan Jin was sitting at.

However, Xiao Yu knew even without seeing Yan Jin’s expression that he was serious.

Yan Jin was truly confessing to him.

He really liked him.

…My god, Yan Jin was for real!

Xiao Yu tried to suppress his agitated emotions and calmly analyze the situation.

But failed miserably.

In his mind, there was only one sentence that could be heard echoing endlessly ——

Yan Jin likes him.

The Yan family’s Yan Jin, who was talented, handsome, and wealthy. Who, at the age of twenty-nine, had never married and was never involved in any scandals. His pure and clean image firmly established him as everyone’s ideal Mr. Right. That tyrannical, rude, and gentle Yan Jin, who attracted everyone’s gaze no matter where he went…

Likes him.

While Xiao Yu was hesitating, Yan Jin was becoming impatient.

[Grey-white SS]: Why aren’t you responding =_=?

[Grey-white SS]: The only response I will accept is a yes. If you don’t agree, I will have someone track down your IP and get your current address.

……

The ember of affection that had started to awaken was instantly extinguished.

The only response Xiao Yu could think of right now was a string of curses that he did not know whether he should type out or not.

This was no longer a confession, but a threat; a bare, naked threat.

However, Xiao Yu did not dare to ignore this threat.

Although he knew that Yan Jin was not an evil person, after living with him for so long, Yan Jin was still a powerful person. If he really wanted to investigate someone, Xiao Yu believed that it was within his power to do so.

Of course, if Xiao Yu was still a human, he wouldn’t be afraid of Yan Jin’s investigation. It was not like his boss at SI was a pushover, and considering their relationship (a company’s CEO and their rival company’s chief designer), he bet that Yan Jin would not dare to go overboard. This situation was not beneficial to YL. No matter how great Yan Jin was, could he buyout SI?

Not to mention, Xiao Yu could chose to retreat. Just deactivate his account, toss the iPad into the garbage truck, and find another apartment to rent. From now on, he just wouldn’t contact Yan Jin ever again.

The problem was, he was no longer a human, but a hamster.

His own power was very weak and puny in the face of such a threat coming from the top power holder of society.

Even if he was merely going against an ordinary person instead of Yan Jin, the current him would still have no way of resisting.

And if Yan Jin really wanted to investigate someone, he could receive the report within a few minutes, right?

At this moment, Xiao Yu was finally able to connect the two puzzling events together.

No doubt, the reason Yan Jin came back today was because he wanted to know the true identity of Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both.

Yan Jin even considered his next move in case Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both refused to cooperate.

This so-called confession was merely bait to see if Xiao Yu could be reeled in gently or if he required a stronger form of persuasion. Yan Jin never planned to allow him to escape.

He was Yan Jin, and this was his way of courting someone.

So straightforward and forceful that it was impossible to avoid.

Once Xiao Yu thought this through, he only felt scared at the close-call.

Xiao Yu was not clear on how long it would take to investigate a person, but he was sure that it would not take long at all. All Yan Jin had to do was dial a few numbers on his phone and all of Xiao Yu’s information would be dug up.

Xiao Yu had forgotten to contact Yan Jin all morning. Luckily, he remembered to do so now. If he was late by another one or two hours…

He didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened to him.

Fine, now that the things were laid out in the open, he had to find a way to resolve this.

It seemed like Yan Jin was serious about wanting a romantic relationship with him.

Wait, forget the ‘seemed’. It should be: Yan Jin insisted on being in a romantic relationship with him. And if Xiao Yu refused, Yan Jin would invade his privacy to confront him in person.

Right now, Xiao Yu’s only option was to calm Yan Jin down.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: If I were to agree with you, can you swear that you will never investigate me?

[Grey-white SS]: You agree to be in a relationship with me?

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: …Can we start out as friends?

[Grey-white SS]: Of course. But in order to ensure that my ‘friend’ doesn’t flirt with others, I will need to monitor your movements.

Fuck.

Thwarted, Xiao Yu sent an emoji with a shaking paw.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: hopelessness.jpg

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Fine, I agree. Going out with Chairman Yan is something others could only wish for.

[Grey-white SS]: lightsmile.jpg

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Now can you leave my privacy alone?

[Grey-white SS]: That will depend on your performance.

Xiao Yu: …Is it too late to break up?
