Ren Yi was stunned for a long time before bursting into laughter. Gong Yingxian was using a grade-schooler’s method to make friends with him. It was silly, yet there was a simple charm to it that felt both pure and adorable, making Ren Yi feel a bit flattered. He laughed, “You’re always welcome at my place, but it’s small and… not exactly spotless. You sure you’re okay with that?”DqRXcdsDZuahHzjNzeGdKHhydtUKzz

Ren Yi smiled wryly, “It’s just me at my place. You can come over and clean it up according to your young master’s usual standards and replace everything with what he likes. That should be enough.” He wasn’t planning to take Gong Yingxian to the old house he currently shared with his dad—it was too inconvenient. He had another apartment, not really lived in much, but it was clean enough.zvgNfLWlfSSRjyYyKCHbfWlxKJlxBC

When Ren Yi returned to the guest room, he collapsed onto the bed, rolling over with his eyes open. He knew roughly where Gong Yingxian’s room was, on the same floor. He wondered if Gong Yingxian was already asleep, or if he too was tossing and turning like him.XYNHwiWoNHkYAqtfSRtBnNdDBMDblo

oGMBwaEqGhIPkGC

It wasn’t entirely his fault for overthinking. Gong Yingxian’s actions could easily be misinterpreted. But Ren Yi also knew that Gong Yingxian was just trying to make friends with him in a simple, sincere, even slightly awkward way. Ren Yi was Gong Yingxian’s first real friend. Reflecting on everything Gong Yingxian had gone through in his childhood, how hard it must have been for him to open up, Ren Yi realized how precious this was. Gong Yingxian’s family understood this too, and placed great hopes on him. Ren Yi couldn’t—dared not—harbor any improper thoughts. He was terrified of tainting the pure trust and friendship Gong Yingxian offered him.QoFIuZzzhkpjuvbCiExsnMTcqgWbEU
