Gay

"What say you, Ruoxi?" Jun Yihan closed the distance between them and let their noses touch, his clear gaze collided with Bai Ruoxi's perturbed one. His hands were still locked on the side of her head, trapping her slightly trembling body in between them.

He found it entertaining, truly.

Jun Yihan had done countless investigations on Bai Ruoxi and thought that he knew every nook and cranny about her, but it seemed like he was wrong. Everything he read about her on papers had failed him miserably. Those pictures he kept of her couldn't even manage to fully capture her flawless splendor. Bai Ruoxi was much, much more adorable than what he perceived all these years.

Greed started to fill him the longer Jun Yihan had his eyes on this beautiful being before him. Currently, she was no different than a terrified little bunny in the presence of a big bad wolf. He wanted to eat her up, but he couldn't do that... yet.

Jun Yihan planned to take things slowly. He wanted to woo her with his charms, but he also needed to consider the fact that Bai Ruoxi hadn't moved on from Gu Yin. But good thing was, that man was already dead. No matter strong the feeling she held for him, one day she would eventually forget him. All Jun Yihan got to do was to help her hasten the process.

And then, if Bai Ruoxi deemed him worthy, she would come to him herself.

On the other hand, Bai Ruoxi was utterly speechless. She couldn't focus on anything else except his eyes which looked like they were inwardly devouring her lips. Her heart rate increased and it started beating faster than usual. She couldn't think straight anymore in this situation.

"I'm gay," she blurted.

And there was... quite a long silence before any of them reacted.

Both Jun Yihan and Bai Ruoxi had their eyes widened in shock, lips hanging open as if wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

It took Bai Ruoxi a few more seconds before she realized what she had just said. A stupid blush crept up, but she batted it back. She sounded like an absolute idiot. Oh god, oh god! Her eyes darted around nervously, trying to look somewhere else but Jun Yihan who was trying his best to suppress a laugh.

Amusement and mirth passed through his eyes as he perked his lips into an alluring smirk. Jun Yihan moved his head even closer to the crook of her neck and breathed in her scent.

"Then let me tell you something as well, Ruoxi." He brushed his nose against her earlobes, causing her to slightly arched her body away. "I'm gay too."

Bai Ruoxi's body turned stiff and sweat drenched her back. Was... was Jun Yihan telling the truth? Was he really gay or he just saw through her bullshit and wanted to get back on her?

The man then stood up straight and lower his hands back to the sides of his body, slipping his slender fingers into the pocket of his pants. "Why don't we be... gay friends, Ruoxi?" He chuckled amusedly and shrugged, "I will keep your secret and you keep mine. We can grab coffee sometime."

"I don't drink coffee."

Again, she blurted out unconsciously. Bai Ruoxi inwardly slapped herself for the nth time for causing her own embarrassment.

Even though it was true that she didn't favor coffee, it was rude to reject him like that. She should have chosen her words courteously, but it seemed like Jun Yihan didn't mind her bluntness in the slightest.

Jun Yihan smiled, "Tea?"

Bai Ruoxi shook her head.

At this point, no matter what he said, she would just shake her head. Bai Ruoxi could sense trouble coming if she continued to stick by him.

"Milk?" Something flickered in his eyes as the words came out of his mouth.

"No."

Jun Yihan chuckled softly, not a tinge of impatience was detected from him. Instead, he raised his hand and gripped Bai Ruoxi's delicate chin lightly, stroking his thumb over her skin. "I didn't know you were quite picky, Ruoxi. But I like that."

Bai Ruoxi could feel goosebumps arose on her skin as shivers went done her spine. Her lips started to tremble again as Jun Yihan's warm breath brushed against her face. 'Sh*t, if this continues, who knows what will happen. I need to think of a way to escape!'

She tried to rack her brain for an idea, and needless to say, she was failing miserably with Jun Yihan's face just inches away from hers. Bai Ruoxi gripped her hands tightly into a fist, unwilling to succumb to this weirdo. She breathed in a couple of times in an attempt to calm her nerves, and when she did, her once flustered eyes shone clearly.

Bai Ruoxi flashed an alluring smile, causing Jun Yihan to raise his brow in amusement.

"It seems like you failed to understand something, Jun Yihan." Bai Ruoxi straightened her back and pushed Jun Yihan away, which to her surprise, was rather easy. She exchanged her position with him and took a turn to push him onto the wall.

She imitated his prior pose, locking both of her arms on the side of his body (embarrassing to admit, but she wasn't tall enough to reach his head, damn it). Bai Ruoxi then poked a finger to his chest, causing further amusement in Jun Yihan.

"When you ask me out, it's not you who gets to choose." She moved her finger in a circular motion, "It's me, Jun Yihan. Always me." Bai Ruoxi smiled seductively, "Understood?"

Knowing his patriarchy characteristics, Bai Ruoxi expected Jun Yihan to hit the roof and swept her hands away. She wanted to use this chance and get away from him, but surprisingly, he laughed.

Currently, Jun Yihan looked nothing like someone who belonged to the underworld, more over a cold-blooded person that she perceived him to be.

Bai Ruoxi gulped as she suppressed her bubbling emotion, 'He laughed...? Is something wrong with his head?'

"Yes." His arm wound her waist, pressing her body onto his. "Understood, ma'am."
