In fact, Xu Xingling has just got off from work. He is an intern designer and has a heavy workload assigned by his boss. As a newcomer, Xingling puts in more effort than necessary for all of his responsibilities, so he goes home every day absolutely exhausted.

“Let’s go.” Li Dong patted his thigh to signal for him to stand up.

Xu Xingling didn’t dare hesitate, so he quickly stood up and eagerly waited to the side. His tall and slender figure truly is really good-looking, and he also has great style, but it is a pity that Han Tianlin only ever sneered at him, saying that it’s annoying to even look at him any more than necessary.

“Big brother…” Li Dong also stood up. He wanted to politely tell Tianlin that they were leaving, but when he thought of the original temperament and personality of the Second Young Master Han, he shut up and changed his mind. He instead said, “Are you really giving this man to me? Can I do whatever I want to him? You won’t be angry, will you?”

Xu Xingling listened to the side, a little concerned, but he didn’t blame Han Tianlin for giving himself to the Second Young Master Han. He was just afraid that the Second Young Master Han would be too cruel to him.

“Of course, I gave him to you already, so do what you will with what is yours.” Han Tianlin said to his brother, not sparing one glace for Xu Xingling who was still gazing at him affectionately. “If he is not obedient, just tell me and I’ll help you clean him up.”

Li Dong gave a lopsided smile in reply. “That won’t be necessary. If he is not obedient, I’ll teach him a lesson myself.” Then he stuck his hands in his pockets and walked out arrogantly as if he were on top of the world.

Xingling, on the other hand, the tall and thin young man, still couldn’t turn his eyes away from Han Tianlin, his gaze practically adhered to him like glue. He was reluctant to part from him.

“Eldest Young Master, can’t you say something to me?” Xingling beseeched; he was, after all, being so obedient and would now be serving the Second Young Master. If you are not reading from readerfeedertranslation.blogspot.com, this work was stolen.

“Say something?” Han Tianlin was quite surprised. He turned his head and said one, cold phrase to Xingling. “Get lost.”

Hearing this, Xu Xingling was still very satisfied and content. “Okay, let’s go,” he said as he smiled rather photogenically. It’s a pity that Han Tianlin really isn’t into men, otherwise, such a beautiful little meat would have been eaten in his mouth long ago.

“Young Master…” Xu Xingling really wanted to say something, but Li Dong stretched out his hand from behind to cover his mouth.

“Don’t talk so much nonsense.” Li Dong said in his ear, and then forcefully dragged him away. He was, however, careful not to hurt Xingling. He let him go once they were outside the private room.

“Second Young Master.” Just now, Xu Xingling couldn’t breathe with his mouth covered, and now that he could finally breathe fresh air again, his fear of Yubai had only increased. Yubai’s reputation wasn’t the best, after all. Xingling offered a timid apology because of this. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to purposely stall time just now.” He hoped that he hadn’t angered this Second Young Master.

Of course, Li Dong already knew that Xingling’s intent was never to try and delay anything; he just loves Tianlin too much and has no personality anymore.

“Big brother is easily irritable,” Li Dong explained. “Don’t speak so much in front of him in the future, and you won’t be slapped.” But after giving that advice, Li Dong felt like he had said it in vain. This person would give up his life to be with Tianlin, being slapped around a bit is nothing to him.

So Li Dong shut up with his advice and instead said to Xingling as he walked, “Come on, keep up. We’re going to your house.” When walking down the stairs to the main floor of the bar, Li Dong suddenly remembered that Xu Xingling came to see Han Tianlin without eating anything beforehand. In the novel, he had been immediately played with all night by Han Yubai and also ended up not eating anything all of the next day. Li Dong was mildly shocked by this.

“Huh?” Xu Xingling was surprised. Weren’t they going to a hotel?

He doesn’t mind the other party coming to his own house, but his apartment is quite tiny. It was rented for only two thousand and five yuan a month, so the surrounding environment is of course subpar and not a bustling area in the city center. It is also a bit far from here.

He was afraid of Li Dong’s disgust, so he insisted, “Second Young Master, why don’t we go to a hotel, my bed is too small and I’m afraid you will not be happy tossing around on there.” If you are not reading from readerfeedertranslation.blogspot.com, this work was stolen.

Li Dong pursed his lips and felt a sort of distorted admiration towards Xingling. Does he not even consider himself a person?

(translator notes: or he’s just horny. it happens.)

Hearing this, Li Dong frowned and changed his mind for Xingling’s sake. “Forget it, let’s go to a restaurant first, then.” It just occurred to Li Dong that Xingling actually had some stomach illnesses as well as other medical complications, yet he still didn’t insist on eating. Li Dong felt so frustrated because of it all.

“Huh?” Xu Xingling was taken aback again. He subtly raised his wrist to glance at his watch and saw that it was 9:30 in the evening already. It was too late for dinner and too early for a midnight snack. Nonetheless, he still followed behind Li Dong and cheerfully asked, “Did the Second Young Master not eat dinner?”

Xingling didn’t either. He thought that it would be great if Li Dong didn’t eat as well so that they could go eat together. He’s so hungry!

The man being questioned glanced at him and said nothing.

Li Dong walked confidently and arrogantly down the stairs, and everyone who knew him greeted him: “Hey, second young master, you’re leaving so early?” These people knew Han Yubai, but not Li Dong himself.

To Li Dong, this world is a virtual one within a novel, and he is the only thing that is real. Therefore, he was somewhat indifferent and ignored Han Yubai’s social circle.

Xu Xingling followed closely behind him, trying to match their steps. He even considered hooking his arm around Yubai’s but didn’t dare to. He really didn’t know how to please this young master.

He has heard extensive rumours about the arrogance and ferocity of this young master, but the true Yubai seems to be… somewhat different than expected. 

When they reached Yubai’s car in the parking lot, Li Dong opened the door of the passenger seat for Xingling, “Get in the car.”

“…” Yubai’s voice is merely lazy, not impatient nor displeased, so Xi Xingling felt flattered by the gesture. “Thank you, Second Young Master.” He sat down in the car happily and was in a pretty good mood other than a slight amount of unease.

translator’s notes:

hiya! this translating thing is actually quite addictive. i’m actually enjoying myself a lot more than i thought i would.

xu xingling is such a smol, slightly dumb bunny and it’s the most adorable thing ever. i do hope li dong manages to gently pat–because we are not slapping someone this cute–some sense into him, though.

thanks for reading, see you all next time!

also, if you would like to read all current chapters offline, there is a pdf version attached to the toc!
