Chapter 108

108 Don’t make trouble

Yi Chen knew if they kept doing this in such a small space he might not be able to control himself thus he grasped both of Zi Han’s wrists and pressed them above the youth’s head against the wall.

He lowered his head and mouthed, “Don’t make trouble.”

“Shh,” said one of the boys outside.

“Shh what?” said the other one while washing his hands under the running tap.

“Did you hear something?” he asked as he took a few steps towards the stalls.

“This is a public bathroom, not your private house. Even if there are people in here what’s it to you?” said the second boy while drying his hands with the automatic hand drying machine.

The first boy acted like a nosy detective itching to solve the case. Zi Han normally wouldn’t care about being caught in such a compromising position. It’s not like he was doing anything shameful. It’s just that if it gets into his grandfather’s ear that he was caught in a bathroom stall with Yi Chen he wouldn’t be able to wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yangtze River.

“Let go,” he mouthed and Yi Chen didn’t make things difficult for him. If they were indeed caught fraternizing in the bathroom his father would most likely find trouble with Zi Feiji.

Zi Han who wasn’t afraid of scolding people opened the door while Yi Chen triggered the sensor to flush the toilet. As soon as Zi Han stepped out he found the curious boy a few feet from him.

.....

The boy’s steps halted. Seeing Zi Han’s unfriendly gaze he was tongue-tied but he still tilted his head trying to peek into the stall.

“What the fuck are you looking at?” asked Zi Han with a look that seemed to say, ‘if you look one more time I will fuck you up’. Believe me, he would do anything to stop his grandfather from finding out he was touching a partially dressed Yi Chen’s chest in a bathroom stall.

However innocent he was his family would most definitely misunderstand. The boy’s detective career ended before it even began. The both of them scurried out of the bathroom like they were being chased by a fiend.

With a soft click the bathroom door closed and Yi Chen walked out buttoning his shirt but before he could finish Zi Han stopped him.

“What are you buttoning it up for? I haven’t sprayed the healing spray yet,” he said while beckoning him over with a furrow between his brows.

Yi Chen walked over while unbuttoning it and watched silently as Zi Han pulled apart his shirt and sprayed that soothing medicine. The swelling had gone down and regrettably tomorrow it should have fully healed.

“Does it hurt?” asked Zi Han glancing up to look at him but before Yi Chen could respond Zi Han gently blew air on that nipple making Yi Chen’s abdominal muscles stiff. His chest grew hotter with his heart beating so fast like it was going to leap out of it.

He now had a new theory. He strongly believed Zi Han knew his feelings and was deliberately pushing him off the cliff so he could confess.

He had already forgotten that he was the one who asked Zi Han to take responsibility by applying medicine for him.

Yi Chen’s scorching gaze focused on Zi Han’s lowered head as his hand unconsciously raised as though to touch the side of Zi Han’s face and force him to look up before kissing him.

But before he could even touch Zi Han the youth raised his head and with a smile, he said, “All done..... Let’s discuss business.”

After saying this he closed the can and acted like nothing had happened between them. It seemed Yi Chen was the only one being affected by this.

“What business?” asked Yi Chen buttoning up his shirt a little curious.

“Uh Chen-ge, it’s like this. I need help with my mech repair class. If I don’t get at least fifty percent in the next class I will get kicked out of class one,” he explained seeming a little aggrieved.

Yi Chen who was now tucking his shirt ceased what he was doing and looked at him. Yi Chen already planned to help him. It’s just that he hadn’t mentioned it to him yet. He just didn’t think Zi Han would take the initiative to ask him for help.

This was a good thing. In fact, it was extremely good progress. Zi Han was already depending on him which was unexpected considering that they had just worked out their differences.

“That’s fine. We can start tomorrow if that’s okay,” he said before continuing to fix his shirt.

Zi Han, who didn’t expect him to agree readily asked with a cock brow, “Seriously? You will tutor me?” Yi Chen nodded his head before washing his hands. He was acting like him tutoring Zi Han was the most natural thing to do. Like a righteous lord dedicating himself to assisting all who need aid, he agreed without asking for anything in return.

But the truth of the matter was that his black-bellied side was creeping in. He was going to twist Zi Han’s arm and make him agree to go with him to that stupid get-together for singles without much effort.

As expected Zi Han asked, “How much will it cost me.”

Yi Chen walked past him while saying, “No need. It’s my duty to make sure my future teammates improve in every aspect of their lives.”

As the hot air blew onto Yi Chen’s hands Zi Han pursed his lips feeling a little dissatisfied. What duty? Zi Han simply didn’t want to owe him anything. “That won’t do. I know you must want something..... everyone does.”

Yi Chen put on a hesitant expression which was deliberate by the way and said, “Well... forget it. I don’t think you will be interested.”

After saying this he pushed open the bathroom door and stepped out. Zi Han who was eager to hear his request followed him but Yi Chen grasped his shoulders and pushed him back saying, “Go wash your hands.”

Zi Han who didn’t think it was necessary walked back to the sink mumbling, “I didn’t even use the damn bathroom.”

As soon as that door closed Yi Chen who was standing outside exhaled deeply while tugging at his collar. He liked spending time with Zi Han but a side of him that he didn’t know existed would exhibit itself which was quite distressing for a person like him. At least now he could control his lower half otherwise he might have traumatized Zi Han in that tiny stall.
