C120 Back in Those Days

"You..." For a moment, Zeng Yiwen did not know what to say. He was happy, that was for sure. However, there was also a trace of worry in his heart. Huo Shaoqian's change was too fast, and it made him feel uneasy. He was afraid that Huo Shaoqian was just interested, curious, and greedy.

If the novelty wore off, he could set Huo Shaoqian free and let him retreat safely.

However, the one in pain would still be him.

After experiencing the pain, he no longer dared to try it again.

"What about me? Master, don't tell me you still don't trust me?" Huo Shaoqian got up and hugged her.

Huo Shaoqian did not know what he had done was not enough, Zeng Yiwen was still unable to open up his heart to him, or was still unable to accept him honestly. Previously, it was Zeng Yiwen himself who said that he liked him, and when he inadvertently said those hurtful words, the other party still had a pained expression on his face, and even intentionally avoided him, wanting to cut off all contact with him.

When he realized that this person was about to leave his life for good, Huo Shaoqian couldn't bear to part with him. He thought back to the bits and pieces of their past together, and he realized how important this person was to him. His feelings for this person far exceeded the so-called master-disciple relationship.

When Zeng Yiwen said that if they could not become lovers, then they could not even be master and disciple, nor friends, he panicked. What he was reluctant to part with was not the relationship of master and disciple, but this person.

He decided to try and give himself a chance to give Zeng Yiwen and them a chance.

At first, he thought that the two of them had known each other for many years and were already used to each other's existence, so he couldn't let it go.

But when he stood in the position of Zeng Yiwen's boyfriend in another identity, although it was only a trial, he was unable to extricate himself from it. This face that he had seen countless times, this temperament that he knew very well, and when he looked at it from another perspective, he found that he liked it very much.

It was also because he was standing beside Zeng Yiwen in another identity that he was able to see his own feelings clearly. All these years, he might have really relied on and gotten used to this person, but he might have already fallen in love with him without realizing it.

Some people take habits for likings, and they always feel that something is missing when they're together, and that it's boring when they're together for a long time.

He had mistaken liking for habit, and when he found out, he was always full of novelty and expectation of the man, so that no matter what he did, it was not enough, and he wanted to convey all his love to him, to make him understand at once.

But he did not express it clearly, and after Zeng Yiwen was hurt by him, he lost his sense of security and could not believe him.

"I don't know." Zeng Yiwen hugged Huo Shaoqian back, placed his chin on his shoulder and rubbed it, " I don't know if I should believe you. You told me not so long ago that you liked girls, that you couldn't accept a man liking a man, and when I said I liked you you asked me with a look of surprise that I didn't like you. But it's only been a short time, and you're saying that I'm cuter than all those women, and that you want to get out of probation. You were the one who wasn't used to my feelings for you, and now I'm the one who's not used to your sudden change. '"

With that, Zeng Yiwen pushed her away again, returned to the sofa and sat down. He took out the cigarettes and ashtray hidden in the drawer under the coffee table, took a cigarette out of the pack, and put it in his mouth.

Just as he was about to light up the cigarette with a lighter, the cigarette in his mouth was snatched away, and what followed was a punishing kiss.

On the surface, it was a punishment for smoking, but in reality, it was a punishment for his distrust of her. Huo Shaoqian's mouth was a little heavy, almost biting through Zeng Yiwen's lips.

Although he was in pain, Zeng Yiwen did not push him away.

When Huo Shaoqian finished punishing him and let him go, his lips were already red and swollen.

Huo Shaoqian half-knelt in front of the sofa, hugged Zeng Yiwen's waist, and buried his head in his chest. He listened to his heartbeat, wanting to make sure that he was still there.

"Master, I only understood my feelings for you now, but didn't you say that you've liked me for a long time? I've counted seven years since I met you. I was only eighteen years old when I met you, and you were only twenty-two years old. At that time, I was an intern, and you were just a rookie among the Golden Year mentors. Now I'm twenty-five years old, and you're twenty-nine years old. Both of you have achieved good results in your respective fields of struggle, but we've already wasted the past seven years. There aren't many seven years left for us to torture each other with."

Why he left the Golden Year back then, and why he fought with the trainees, other than the higher-ups in the company who dealt with this matter, I'm afraid not many people knew the real reason behind it, not even Zeng Yiwen.

It was rumored that they had quarreled because of disagreements. Huo Shaoqian had a fiery temper, and he first made a move on the three, then the situation on both sides went out of control.

Later on, they were all expelled as punishment.

By now, there was probably no one in the Golden Year who knew the truth. What happened five years ago had long been forgotten, and only he remembered it clearly.

At that time, he had already been in the Golden Year for more than two years, and it had already been half a year since he became Zeng Yiwen's assistant from an intern. That afternoon, after class ended, Zeng Yiwen went to eat early. He was helping Zeng Yiwen clean the office, and when he was ready to go find his master and wash his hands in the bathroom, he heard some discussions inside, so he listened curiously for a while longer.

He did not expect that the person inside was actually talking about Zeng Yiwen.

"That Zeng Yiwen is tall and thin, with skin and flesh that are even better looking than a woman's. Damn it, he teaches us every day."

"You damn gay, you really can be in heat at any time. I really don't understand how you Gay guys get interested in men."

"It's like seeing a big-breasted woman. You're attracted to each other, I'm attracted to each other, and we've known each other for a long time."

"Help you send flowers and write love letters?" One of them wondered what the man wanted to do.

"I'm not that romantic. It's so hurtful to talk about relationships. Just let me sleep with him once."

"Why don't you find a time to invite him out for a meal? It's reasonable for a student to invite a teacher, and then get drunk and drug him so that you can do whatever you want?"

Although Huo Shaoqian did not quite understand why men liked men before he found out that he liked Zeng Yiwen, the words of the three scums at that time immediately angered him.

Zeng Yiwen was his master at that time, and was high and mighty to him. How could he allow these people to have dirty thoughts about him?

Thus, he directly rushed into the cubicle, dragged one of them out and beat him up. Then, the other two came out to help the four of them.
