Chapter 55 - Flowers off the side of the road

Muchen ran out of the office in a hurry with his people looking at him weirdly. 'Is it true… Does he relay like me...' he questioned his friend's words in his mind as he reached the parking lot.

He quickly jumped into the driver's seat and took off to the hospital.

Soon he ran across a red light. He waited anxiously shaking his leg.

His heart was pounding in his chest. "What if he says no again... no he didn't say no in the first place." grinning he pulled at his tie. "Why did I think he didn't like me… he didn't reply because he was sick! he likes me…. right?' he gazed out the window at his own poster that was still being displayed. "He definitely likes me. I mean how could he not? I'm kind of awesome." He mumbled to himself while sweating.

He was not that confident in Yunfeng's feelings about him.

The young man had never once explicitly said that he liked him or loved him.

Muchen gulped loudly. He found a little lemonade bottle close by and took a swing at it chugging the whole bottle down.

"We did roll around in bed twice… that is start. How can anyone kiss and touch a person they don't like."

"Honk honk!!" the vehicles honked behind him.

Stunned he looked ahead to see that the light had turned green. He quickly started the car and drove off.

Soon he was in the hospital parking lot looking at the building with nervousness. "Why did I come empty-handed… this is a confession. I have to get him something..."

He quickly did a Google search.

The hospital was quite far from any gift shops or flower shops.

"Shit… I should have planned this better,"

He jumped out of the car anxiously kicking the wheel. Suddenly a small patch of dahlias caught his eyes.

'Ah flowers!!'

He ran up to them and stood by looking at the beautiful white flowers.

"They won't mind if they lose a flower or two..." saying so he plucked two flowers. 'Two seems so less..." he plucked another two. "Four doesn't sound auspicious"

Gritting his teeth, he quickly plucked the whole bunch.

Looking at the bare ground, he grimaced. "I'll… I'll plant some seeds later... I promise"

He took off into the hospital happily clutching his newly plucked flowers.

But soon he came across a hurdle.

"Visiting hours are over. Sorry sir, I'm going to ask you to leave." The nurse dully typed something in her computer and said without looking up.

"What?" Muchen gazed at the time. it was six in the evening. "it's not that late."

"Sir its hospital protocol…" the nurse looked at his face blankly.

"Miss!" he tapped on the counter. "Please... please just let me in."

"Mu...Muchen…"

Muche cast a smile her way. "You will let me in, right?"

the nurse gasped cupping her wide-open mouth.

"I can give you my autograph. Just please… please let me in."

The nurse looked around and suddenly moved close. "Oh my god you're real…flowers" her eyes fell on the bunch of flowers he was holding.

Muchen guiltily hid it behind his back. "I got it in the grocery store. Yes... I brought it..."

the girl nodded with a blank look in her eyes.

"Can I go in please?"

"y-yes…"

"Oh, thank you so much." Muchen grinned her way. "Please don't tell anyone I'm here."

In his hurry, he had actually forgotten to wear his mask. Thankfully the hospital was quite empty because it was late in the evening and visiting hours were over. Only the hospital staff were around. that too many of the nurses were busy tending to patients. Only the counter nurse noted his face.

He quickly found a kerchief and tied it around his face hiding his lower half.

Soon he was in front of Yunfeng's room. He took a deep breath. 'calm down... don't ramble. Just ask him... no small talk. I need to start it with small talk. I can just abruptly ask him to be my boyfriend... I have to ease into the conversation.'

"Wow you have abs..." a soft voice was heard in the room.

Muchen frowned 'that is not Yunfeng's voice"

He placed his head on the door with a frown.

"Yeah... I guess so." Yunfeng answered casually.

"I wish I had abs too. Look how flat I am. I can barely bring any flesh to my body. ahh touching them feels so nice."

"stop that tickles," Yunfeng chuckled.

"Does it... what if I touch you here."

"jai~ stop that."

Muchen gaped at the door. "Jai? Who's Jai!" he slammed the door open and walked in.

The sight in front of him made him freeze in his steps.

Yunfeng was on his back busily scrolling through the phone and a young man was lying on top of him lifting Yunfeng's shirt up. "waaa look at your pecs!"

The boy actually reached Yunfeng's chest!!!

Rage filled his being. he rushed to them grabbed the boy by his collar and pulled him away.

"What's going on here? who is this Yunfeng?" with a twitching smile he gazed at Yunfeng.

The young man seemed surprised to see him here. his phone actually slid off his hand and fell flat on his face.

"Ow!"

"you, okay?" Muchen immediately let go of that pest's clothes and went to Yunfeng. "Does it hurt?" he gently massaged his pink nose. "it's not broken right?"

"Muchen…." Yunfeng smiled up at him. "you're here."

Just that smile alone lit up the whole room.

Muchen couldn't help falling for him just a bit more. He gently cupped his face. "Hmm…"

"Ahem ahem..." jai gazed at them with his brows raised. "Who is this?"

Muchen stood up straight adjusting his coat. "I'm Muchen... Yunfeng's friend. Who might you be?"

"I'm his BEST friend jai," jai leaned down, lying on Yunfeng practically. "I never knew he had other friends."

"Well, he does."

"Did you just dig them off the ground?" jai pointed to the flowers in his hand.

Muchen guiltily hid them again. "that's none of your business. Young man, I would like to talk to Yunfeng alone. Can you give us some privacy?"

Jai grinned up at him. "no~"
