99 That Kind of Situation (2/2)

”Ah Chang …” Su Yan's gaze slid from Nie Chang's hand that was still pressed against the cat on his sweater to his boyfriend's body. ”You're not into anything weird with cats, are you?”

Nie Chang used his other hand to facepalm. Was that the question you should ask in this kind of situation? Honestly, how about having a bit of self-awareness? ”Ah Yan, have you noticed where we are?”

”Of course. We're in a boutique.”

”No, we're in a changing cubicle of around three and a half square meter and you're currently leaning against your boyfriend with your whole body and even encouraging him to touch you. So, do you really want to ask me whether or not I'm into something weird or not?”

Su Yan blinked. Wait … So this was … because of him? He risked another glance and gulped. Somehow, this reminded him of this morning when they had been in bed together. So that was why Nie Chang had reacted like this. Before, too …

He gingerly took his hand back and stepped away. Well, there wasn't much space in the first place so it wasn't like he was actually giving any room to Nie Chang. He averted his gaze and slowly reached out to the door. ”Then I … just go and you … uh …” Su Yan blushed. What was he supposed to say now? 'You do whatever it is you're supposed to do in such a case'? Or should he be more direct?

Before it could get any more awkward, he turned around and … crashed against the door.

”Ah!” Su Yan crouched down and rubbed his nose. Why hadn't the door budged when he tried to open it?!

Nie Chang watched his boyfriend squat in front of him and sighed. ”You still haven't understood what happened? I certainly didn't stumble in here by chance. One of the women pushed me in. They locked the door from outside.”

Su Yan turned around, covering his nose with one hand. ”Why would they do that?”

”That's what I'd like to ask you. How do you even know them?”

”I don't! Why would you think so?”

”Because …” Nie Chang paused. Where should he even begin explaining this? ”Well, they knew your name and had everything prepared. Furthermore, you were so excited the whole time. Doesn't this mean you know them and had something planned?”

Su Yan looked away and rubbed his nose again. ”That …” He couldn't tell him the truth, could he?

Nie Chang frowned. He knew him long enough to spot the thought of 'let's just make something up for now' in his eyes. He crossed his arms and leveled Su Yan with a look. ”Out with it.”

Su Yan shifted around. Well, Nie Chang probably deserved hearing the truth considering he was already … He took another look before turning back and scratching at the wall of the cubicle, lowering his voice as much as he could. ”I asked Zhi Bao Yu for advice.”

Nie Chang leaned forward. ”What did you say?”

”I said … I asked for advice.”

Nie Chang just stared at him. The cubicle wasn't that big. Even if Su Yan mumbled as low as he could, he'd still pick up on something. And he was sure that he had heard a certain name from him.

”Alright, they're friends of Zhi Bao Yu!”

”Your former co-worker who wanted to set you up with that security guard.”

Su Yan pursed his lips. ”Could you not phrase it like this?”

”That's what happened though. And it was just last week.”

”That's true.” Su Yan lowered his head.

If Nie Chang said it like that, he really felt like he had done something stupid. ”Ah Chang …” Su Yan reached out and tugged at the hem of his pants. ”I'm sorry. I didn't really think about it. I just … wanted to do something nice for you.” He looked up, his eyes still a little wet from when he had crashed into the door.

Faced with this kind of Su Yan, Nie Chang really couldn't keep being angry. He sighed and knelt down in front of him, gently taking him into his arms. Well, by now, he should probably be accustomed to Su Yan pulling this kind of stunt. ”It's alright. That's also what I love about you.”
