To Miss Each Other, as Fate Dictates

“Wanna read?”

When He Jünle said so, he had slightly creased brows, with a slightly lazy, foxy tone. He looks like he’s only all too certain that Murong Jihua wants something, and is, therefore, luring him in as a hunter.

——He is definitely a genius as a hunter as well.

So, will Murong Jihua obediently be the little bunny that falters to his knife?

… Keep following his pace, and it’ll be all over.

Murong Jihua knows it all too well.

“He Jünle, who do you take this shaoye as?”

Murong Jihua unconvincingly coughs, moving his arm over He Jünle to turn his terminal screen off.

After that, he leaves his arm where it ‘naturally’ drooped, with his body now leaning closer, so close, that our boy Murong’s black hair is already tangled up with our boi He’s.

To bond our hair together? (TL: Chinese saying referencing couples who love each other very much and for a very long time, having saved a packet with a trimmed portion of both their hair from a very long time ago)

Somehow, that word makes Murong Jihua’s chest warm up.

“This shaoye is confident enough that he wouldn’t mind how you talk about him in front of everyone——”

“Really?”

“This shaoye is generous enough that he wouldn’t mind being that special person among all your three thousand friends with benefits——”

“Really?”

“This shaoye is sensible enough that he wouldn’t mind having to respect your personal space——”

“Really?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“… Yes, really.”

“Alright, Mr Murong, then please immediately stop your hand from trying to use my fingerprint to unlock my terminal screen.”

“…”

“…”

“No.”

“…”

You ask me why I’m always slapping my face?

Ha, you jest! How can you call it faceslapping?!

It’s clearly negotiation, humour, the Saharan savanna-type of psychologically reducing distance!

Basically, it’s love!

Do you know why you do not understand what I just said, huh?

Ho, mortals, that is because your ‘romantic love’ are not nearly as lovely yet!

Therefore, Murong Jihua, under a stare from what appears not to be a smile nor snigger nor glee from He Jünle, just unlocks the screen with robotically precise movements and heads right for his vv chat screen.

There are three people marked as special interest. A Xüeru, a Xiaomo,

And a Murong Jihua.

Feeling guilty, perhaps, Murong Jihua just swipes open the chat with Xüeru, not daring to make eye contact with He Jünle anymore.

Although his eyes are almost physically glued to the screen, Murong Jihua still forces himself to ask,

“… Can I, really?”

All He Jünle did not do was rubbing the terminal right in Murong Jihua’s face at this point. Amused, he asks, “what do you think?”

Then, he adds a very astute remark,

“I suppose I see why you act like that in bed.”

Sure, as long as you’re happy.

It’s almost like it wasn’t this shaoye who wanted to spy on your privacy, but instead, he is steeling himself up hard, trying to eat the forbidden fruit——Well, that analogy worked better in his head.

He can’t wait anymore. He doesn’t want to wait anymore.

Murong Jihua tries to settle his racing heart down a bit more, so that its noise does not inadvertently reveal its true feelings to the hunter.

A little excitement,

A little cheeriness,

A little happiness.

The happiness of being trusted.

——A happiness that manages to make the smile stay on Murong Jihua’s face even as he comes face to face with the eighth-grade internet handles on the chat screen.

5 minutes ago:

[NobleballnのDemonblood Emperor] I love him.

And Xüeru’s answer… was exactly what he just saw.

… Holy shit.

Murong Jihua is speechless now.

He knows so well that, what he is holding right now, is the cold, hard terminal He Jünle owners, but maybe he got infected by the Blai’nd prince? Why does the thing he is holding, somehow look like a heavy, beating heart?

Aaargh, damned butler Cui, what kind of smooth BGM did he even pick to be so moving and flirtatious? My own heart is going to melt.

Oh jeez, this CP is so sweet it’s suffocating.

Fuck me. He Jünle, you must be mad, it’s 9102, who the heck still confesses with those cringy words——

Fine, even if I do like your cringiness, at least tell them to my face! Change that ‘him’ into ‘you’ and fire that ultimate move right at me! Don’t worry, this shaoye can still hold on!

…

…

…

Apologies to all the bossy CEOs of the world, but never mind, this shaoye cannot hold on anymore!!!

So excited, Murong Jihua finds himself trembling like mad. The rays of light reflected off everything are flying from here and there all over, crashing into his eyeballs. The Murong Jihua, without caring for any of his senses, just keeps reading the words He Jünle wrote five minutes ago over and over and over, as if each stroke of the characters is a massive hard drive with 233 GB of sweetness that CEO Murong has to download.

He Jünle is looking at him from the side. He looks satisfied with the reaction, having a clean smile on his face.

——Though this smile starts dissipating by the time Murong Jihua finally lets the three characters go to move on to battles further afield in time.

He extends his fingers, and without delay, he removes the warmed up terminal from Murong Jihua’s hands.

“Jünle!”

Murong Jihua grabs at the terminal, yelling, “you said I can read!”

——His instincts tell him there must be even more astonishingly sweet secrets to be dug up from this archaeological dig. Just seven days of chat is so sweet, then wouldn’t the half a year that they’ve met each other make him downright diabetic?

Also, that little gal Xüeru is a tough girl, seriously, Murong Jihua still has a lot he wants to ask——

What did she mean by her gege can definitely win the CEO?

Wasn’t it this shaoye’s ceaseless bombardments and efforts that finally landed him the love of his love?

Through all the hardships and obstacles?

How did He Jünle talk about this love story with others——

“Yes, I let you read, but I didn’t tell you to read it all in one go, did I?——Conversely, I also didn’t say I won’t let you read anymore, did I?”

He Jünle says, and takes advantage of his superior force, and stuffs his terminal under his pillow.

Then he puts his fingers by his lips, chuckling to say,

“We’ll sleep now. Because what follows…

Are paid・VIP・contents, you see?”
