Chapter 115   - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Fool.

Lu Xiuhe’s mind flashed with a lot of ideas in that short minute.

But before he could catch hold of any of them, he had already gone and kissed the other person.

Zuo Zhen’s mouth contained the minty flavor from the milk tea shop, and was especially sweet. Pretty much at the moment he stuck himself onto him, Zuo Zhen opened his lips in a very cooperative manner, but he didn’t take the initiative, waiting for Lu Xiuhe to enter instead.

He had already gone this far, so the Great Lord Lu really had nothing to be a wuss about…

No, the Great Lord Lu was wussing out a bit right now.

The Great Lord Lu bumped his mouth against the other’s a few times, and then wanted to leave. His forehead lowered against Zuo Zhen’s cap, nearly knocking it off. The brim at the front had already been lifted, revealing a great mass of pink hair.

Although there were few people in the alley, it wasn’t completely empty. He had panicked and had been trying to get away because he had just heard some footsteps.

He instinctively started to raise his hand to block out Zuo Zhen’s face from any onlooker, but who would have known that Zuo Zhen would take action before he could.

Zuo Zhen was wearing a gray hoodie today. With crisp actions, he took off his cap with one hand and with his other, pulled up the hood of his hoodie over his head. Closely following this series of actions, he held Lu Xiuhe’s neck in one hand and pressed him forward, towards himself. His hoodie then covered both their faces, and he started kissing him again——

Lu Xiuhe’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected Zuo Zhen to be so bold.

The footsteps coming from nearby were getting closer and closer, while the grinding and rubbing of the other person’s lips and tongue against his own were gentle and lingering.

Fuck, wasn’t this too fucking stimulating ?!

Lu Xiuhe felt as if he was currently shooting a “Exposed in the Dark Alley.avi” file.

He heard the footsteps slow down, and unclear whispers soon followed after. Their tone made it seem that they weren’t disgusted, and instead sounded more curious and surprised.

He didn’t know what these people were curious about. He only knew that if Zuo Zhen was recognized, then he could only offer up his own life as penance.

So he could only embrace Zuo Zhen’s neck again and press his head down tighter, so as to hide those strands of pink hair in the front of other’s sight. This action deepened the kiss. In the eyes of those outsiders, with the current intensity of this kiss, who knew what would happen in the next second.

From the side, Lu Xiuhe heard someone draw in a breath.

By the time these onlookers left, Lu Xiuhe had already been pushed against a wall by Zuo Zhen.

Before he could stop him, he felt his jacket being lifted up rather suddenly, and only then did that familiar warmth return to his lips.

His heart leaped, and he quickly avoided Zuo Zhen’s lips as he said, “Don’t……”

“I just want to confirm something,” Zuo Zhen said.

“Confirm what?”

“Last time, I kept thinking that it felt really good touching you here.” Zuo Zhen’s voice was low as he felt Lu Xiuhe’s abs. He asked, “Did you train to build these?”

Zuo Zhen’s palm wasn’t delicate, rather, it was a little rough. It felt pretty special as it caressed his abs, and only after a few moments did Lu Xiuhe think that this wasn’t good.

If Zuo Zhen kept touching him like that, he was afraid that something else of his was going to stand up soon.

“No, maybe I got them from playing basketball and stuff regularly …” Lu Xiuhe asked, “Don’t you also have them?”

Zuo Zhen nodded, suddenly grabbed Lu Xiuhe’s hand, and pulled it down under the hem of his shirt, and then, in an ingratiating tone, said, “I have them .”

Internally, Lu Xiuhe said— Of course, I fucking know you do. I didn’t look through all those videos and photos carefully in this period of time for nothing.

He had just been about to take back his hand in refusal, but as soon as he touched Zuo Zhen’s abs, he couldn’t even utter any words of refusal anymore.

Holy shit.

It really did feel good to touch.

It was totally different from those little soft abs on his stomach. One touch and you would know that these were the real deal.

No wait&#k2026; How had they gotten to this segment of mutually comparing abs?

Lu Xiuhe quickly took back his hand. His eyes were still damp, and the base of his ears were red as he asked, “Don’t keep flirting&#k2026; isn’t your assistant still waiting?”

Zuo Zhen’s smile disappeared at this. He stared at Lu Xiuhe and asked, “What did you mean by kissing me just now?”

Lu Xiuhe froze. After that sudden burst of energy fizzled out, all that was left was a sense of shame. He said, “Then-then what did you mean by the several times before when you kissed me?”

“I kissed you because I liked you.” Zuo Zhen asked, “Do you like me?”

“Yes!” admitted the Great Lord Lu with a shy face.

“Since I’ve kissed you, I will be responsible for you.” Zuo Zhen’s throat moved. “What about you?”

“I-I will definitely be responsible for you too .” Lu Xiuhe said, “It’s not like I’m a scum man!” “There isn’t any.” Lu Xiuhe’s heart was beating as loud as a drum, but his face was very calm. “You didn’t smell in the first place.”

The water from the ends of Zuo Zhen’s hair dripped onto his shoulder, making it feel a bit chilly.

“Zuo Zhen,” Lu Xiuhe called out to him, “I want to ask you something.”

Zuo Zhen leaned back, one leg hanging on the sofa as he leaned against Lu Xiuhe’s jeans. “En?”

“Why did you start to like me ?”

Zuo Zhen’s eyelashes flickered. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”

Lu Xiuhe paused before replying, “Just… I think it’s pretty unimaginable.”

“It’s not unimaginable at all.” Zuo Zhen commented, “So unsure of yourself?”

Lu Xiuhe choked. No, no matter how fucking confident I am about myself, my pride is not inflated to the point where I could covet you .

Zuo Zhen laughed and suddenly asked, “Do you remember when we added each other as friends in the game?”

Lu Xiuhe really didn’t remember. He only remembered that when they had met, it had been Zuo Zhen who had sent him an invite for a game match first. At that time, he completely couldn’t recall as to when exactly he had added this friend.

He thought about it and then asked, “Mid year?”

“No.” Zuo Zhen said, “It was three years ago.”

Lu Xiuhe was stunned.

“Three years ago, I had just debuted, and a lot of people were cursing me out.” Even when speaking of such a past, Zuo Zhen’s tone was very calm. “At that time, whenever I thought I couldn’t continue on, I would play games to decompress. However, while playing, I actually ran into a fan of mine, their ID had my name in it.”

It was at this point that Lu Xiuhe finally recalled a slight impression of this incident.

He had played so many matches that he didn’t remember many such things. That match had left an impression on him because there had been two invincible big flamers in that game. He had been fighting in Summoner’s Rift for so many years and had rarely met someone who could curse someone out so much and then even get stuck in the same team as them.

At that time, these two flamers had united in cursing out the support in their team. This was for no other reason than the fact that the support was a fan of a male star, and had the name of the male star in their ID.

At that time, upon listening to the speech, it didn’t seem as if the male star had done anything despicable.The two flamers just caught on to something and said that he was a sissy and was ugly. They ranted for ten whole minutes, and cursed out the support until that person just stood in their spot without moving, as if they were crying.

Lu Xiuhe naturally couldn’t stand these people who possessed bad characters and had no sense of game spirit. He immediately fought with those two for a whole 30 minutes.

After the game, the support didn’t add him as a friend. Instead, it was the continually silent, not-saying-a-word jungler on their team who had added him as a friend.

He didn’t remember the name of that male star, but now it seemed like…

“You were the jungler—” Lu Xiuhe froze before continuing, “…dare I say you’re here to repay a debt of gratitude?”

“It’s not about repaying a debt of gratitude, I wouldn’t go that far just out of gratitude.” Zuo Zhen drew closer to him and said, “Back then, I just wanted to see what kind of fool would offer himself up to be cursed at for no reason at all.”

Lu Xiuhe paused before asking, “And then?”

Zuo Zhen chuckled and leaned over to kiss his neck. “Then I discovered that I like this kind of fool very much.”

He had thought at that time—Such a good fool, he couldn’t let this person cheapen himself over others.

First, use whatever methods possible to trick him into becoming his, and then they’d figure the rest out.

“Back then, you were just standing there and obediently letting people curse you out, weren’t you being a fool too?” Lu Xiuhe murmured to himself. He touched his nose. “Th-then let’s just say it’s two fools coming together .”

Juurensha: …well, although ZZ is kind of shady, I have to say it was pretty sweet, the two of them finally getting together. (Although poor assistant.)magic

Assistant: Zhen Ge? Zhen Ge?????

ZZ: Mm yes, finally got my fool.

Assistant: ….??????

Noks: LXH finally figured it all out!!! Woohoo! I wonder if this guy even knows that his friend Yanyan is gay… If he does, then did it never occur to him to talk to Yanyan about this thing instead of wandering around in fan circles and doing all that torturous (for ZZ especially) back-and-forth?
