Anger

Duan Wei stood still at the same position for a long time like a statue. He was internally questioning the meaning of his life. Had he lost his mind in the last few minutes?

The sudden unfamiliar presence of Fang Bai in the room had brought him out of his excited state. One look at Fang Bai's dumbfounded face made him realize what kind of blunder he was in. With a snail-like pace, he looked down to see his hand on Li Jin's waist, and the boy who was unconsciously leaning on him with a confused expression. This made him realize that he had done something worse than an animal.

Not only did he say all those crazy things to Rong Rong, he also kissed a vulnerable guy without consent!

He just-

Duan Wei just blankly looked at Li Jin who was leaning on him, and then at Tang Rong, whose eyes held so deep meaning that he dare not confront right now.

Li Jin looked dazedly at Duan Wei who suddenly broke the kiss without any reason. In his last life, he had many hookups. Many of them were random sexual favours on the way while traveling as they usually built relationships fast. While the whole world had lost all moral values, with rare long-term relationships, humans often looked for small relationships here and there to get company. He used to like the thrill of aggressive touches, scratches and bruises… until he felt the soft and cautious touches on his lips from this guy with too poor kissing skills, which made his legs weak in no way ever.

What really surprised him was Duan Wei showing interest in these types of relationships even before the apocalypse. He could clearly see that Duan Wei had no romantic interest in him, so what could it be other than having interest in his body? Maybe Duan Wei can be his temporary intimate partner?

Getting out of his memories, Li Jin blinked his eyes to remove the haze.

While Li Jin was thinking about a relationship with no strings attached, Duan Wei was questioning his morality. He looked down to see Li Jin who was still dazed and did not understand the situation at all. An innocent guy like Li Jin got distracted because of him, and might even develop feelings for him because of the kiss. He knew that Li Jin had just gone through a heartbreak, and might even be in a vulnerable state. Is he also toying with Li Jin's feelings? Apart from this, he looked at Tang Rong with a guilty conscience. He really did not want to end up in such a situation.

Duan Wei slowly removed his hands from Li Jin's waist and stepped away from the boy. Li Jin looked a bit taken aback. Duan Wei internally felt very sorry for the guy.

He took one look at Fang Bai who was silently standing at the door in silence. Fang Bai was looking at him and Tang Rong with an assessing gaze. Duan Wei avoided eye contact and turned to Tang Rong with apprehension, "Rong Rong I-"

Hearing his voice made Li Jin realize that he and Duan Wei were not actually alone in the room. He was surprised to see Tang Rong awake from fever. It was definitely a good thing.

"Don't say anything." Tang Rong snapped. He did not even take a look at Duan Wei. "I want to talk to Duan Wei alone." Tang Rong spoke while looking at the wall.

Li Jin was a bit slow in understanding these complex undercurrents, but now he definitely understood that something was going on here. He quietly walked out of the room and Duan Wei locked the room behind him.

Outside the door, Li Jin was again shocked to see Fang Bai. A blush formed on his face realizing that the kiss he had just now was known to many people. The two just stood quietly for some time against the wall. After a few minutes, Li Jin heard the hesitant voice of Fang Bai, "Are you and Ah Wei together?"

"No" Li Jin shook his head. This was definitely not the case.

Fang Bai seemed to digest the word and then asked again with a hesitant voice, "So, what happened inside…?"

Li Jin was a bit shy about mentioning this incident, but the serious look on others' faces told him that something was definitely going on. *sigh* He did not like all these complex situations. He tried his best to be honest. "I had walked in the room with some medicine for Tang Rong when Duan Wei k-k-kissed…" He still couldn't prevent his cheeks from reddening.

Fang Bai just looked at Li Jin's shy face and thought to himself.

'Those two dogs are not getting together anytime soon.'

Li Jin was randomly poking his fingers on the crevices of the designs on the wall when he felt the hair on his neck stand up. He immediately looked to the right.

Fang Bai also sensed some anomaly and looked in the same direction. *Sharp inhale.*

—-------------------------------------------------

While locking the door from inside, Duan Wei gulped his saliva and tried to form words of explanation for Tang Rong.

He turned around in apprehension, but suddenly felt a push. A hand tightly gripped his T-shirt's collar, and pinned him against the door. The hand belonged to a warm body that was almost a centimeter away from him.

"So this is what you think." Tang Rong spoke in a low voice, his lips were so close to his ears. Duan Wei wanted to look in those brown eyes at this moment. The hot breath and itchy breath in his neck reminded Duan Wei that Tang Rong had a high fever. His hands reached out to those broad shoulders and he lightly tried to push them away.

"Rong Rong, you are still not well. You should take some rest. Everything was just a misunderstanding and I will explain it to you later." Duan Wei tried to move the other man but he did not budge an inch. The grip on his chest was still tight.

"Now I know why you always try to ignore our things." Tang Rong's voice was bitter and filled with resentment. Duan Wei frowned and wanted to look at Rong Rong's face but another hand traveled up and held his jaw in place. "Our relationship is just a joke to you."

"Rong Rong you- you know that I said all those words to provoke you. I didn't mean any of them."

Those brown eyes suddenly appeared in front of his face and Duan Wei looked straight into them with his own green ones. As always, Tang Rong first looked into his eyes and then around his face. But this time, that smooth forehead was creased into a frown when his gaze stopped in one place.

Duan Wei felt the hand on his jaw move up and then two fingers traced his lips. Tang Rong was looking straight into his lips with a deep meaning. For no reason, Duan Wei slowed down his breathing. He could feel the temperature difference of his back against the cold door and his front, to which a hot body was slowly getting closer.

He heard a soft whisper, "What about the kiss?" The fingers on his lips slowly started getting rougher and Duan Wei even felt that they would have broken if they weren't moist from the activity that happened a few minutes ago.

"What about the kiss?" Tang Rong repeated. "You were literally stuck to him, enjoying the moment as if you didn't want those lips to separate at all." The words ended in a whisper.

Duan Wei's looked around the room, trying to form proper words of explanation? How should he explain that at that time he was muddle headed and scared out of his wits. His mind was pouring crazy thoughts into him at that time, and when he saw Li Jin's cute face, all the pressure that had built up in his head just burst out. In order to provoke Tang Rong in an extreme way, he just stepped up to do anything that his mind felt would work. But, he still had no excuse for getting lost in the kiss. Nor could he deny that his mind actually felt pleased at that moment at the thought of kissing Li Jin. He was such a beast and he deserved to be punished.

Closely monitoring all of Duan Wei's expressions, a self-deprecating smile formed on Tang Rong's face for a moment, before it turned into a twisted and crazy smile. "I should have never broken up in the first place too." Duan Wei's green eyes widened in surprise and unwillingness. "Maybe my 'friend' at home, who I thought was feeling lonely, did not need me at all. He just wanted to make his own harem, and I was the roadblock in his way. So now… I will just mind my own business and will not let foreign things affect my future relationships."

Duan Wei's heart, which was floating in air for some time, suddenly felt a thud. All his stray thoughts vanished and he felt a huge fire burning in his heart and mind.
