4482 The Other Side 451
Stunned, he blurted out, âWhy?â
At this point, it seemed only such a question could demonstrate his chaotic state of mind.
What was Gong Jie doing?
Was it a prank?
!!
Otherwise, why would he kiss him?
However, if it were a prank, why was he sensing all those complicated emotions from his kiss? As a veteran actor, he could tell the difference between a kiss that carried emotions with it and that which did not. Gong Jieâs kiss served to only further complicate how he was feeling.
Gong Jie smiled and remarked, âWhy? What do you mean why?â
âWhy⦠did you kiss me?â
âLetâs be together.â
The manâs words only served to create a greater chaos in Hua Jinâs emotions.
Perhaps, if it had not been for this accident and he had not gone through such adversity with him, Gong Jie would not have been made aware of his own feelings. However, since he had initiated a kiss, it meant that he had already reflected upon his own feelings. And since he was clear on his own emotions, he was only demonstrating that point in a way that was aligned with his straightforward and domineering nature.
He hated being coy about feelings. It was not his style.
The actor almost choked. He did not expect Gong Jie to make such a request.
âTogether?â He deliberately changed the subject. âArenât we together now?â
âDonât play dumb with me.â
Hua Jin was dumbstruck. Gong Jie could not be bothered with the actorâs pretense
Trying to change the subject?
Naturally, Gong Jie would not give him such a chance. âIâll give you time to think about it.â He sat down by the bed, crossing his arms over his chest. It would have been more apt to say that he was forcing the actor to give in. He was very domineering and forceful! Very much his style!
The actor lowered his head, still lost in his thoughts.
After less than five seconds, Gong Jie turned around and asked, âHave you decided?â
ââ¦â
That wasnât even five seconds! He was asking if he had thought it through!!
âDidnât you say youâd give me time to think about it?â
Gong Jie looked at his watch and replied, âItâs been half a minute.â
âYou call this giving me time to think about it?â
âWhat else? How much time do you want?â Gong Jie raised an eyebrow. âItâs just a matter of a few words. How much time do you need? A day? A month? A year?â
ââ¦â
âIf you agree, itâs a âyesâ. If you donât, itâs a ânoâ.â
The actor asked curiously, âWhat if I agree?â
âThen weâll be together.â
âWhat if I donât agree?â
âYou canât run away.â
Canât run away?
The actor retorted, âDo you take me for a prey?â
âWeâll be together sooner or later.â
ââ¦â
The actor finally broke down. âThen why are you asking me to think about it, if weâre going to be together sooner or later!â
âEh?â Gong Jie smiled when he heard this and put his arm gently around the back of Hua Jinâs neck. âGood decision. Since weâre going to be together sooner or later, thereâs no need to hesitate.â
ââ¦â The actor was at a loss for an answer. âIâm feeling a little confused. Iâm tired and sleepy. I want to rest for a while.â
âAlright.â Gong Jie stood up and ordered someone to remove the bowl and cutlery. âHave a good rest, then.â
Without a word, the actor lay down, covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes.
He heard the door close. Gong Jie had left.
Hua Jin closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep. He didnât want to think about anything, but his mind would not be controlled. His thoughts started to wander.
