Chapter 84: Baby, Youâre So Domineering
Ye Ran was suddenly awakened.
He quickly pointed to the mark on his neck to denounce someone’s crime. “What’s going on with this? You launched a sneak attack while I was drunk. I’ll get you back sooner or later.”
As soon as his voice fell, the person sitting opposite him pulled his collar down a bit, revealing a nearly identical mark on his own neck.
The difference was that Ye Ran’s was on the right, while Chi Yuheng’s was on the left.
They looked quite symmetrical. To an uninformed observer glancing over, they might think the two had gotten a couple’s tattoo on their necks.
There was actually such a mark on Chi Yuheng’s neck too.
Ye Ran’s pupils contracted slightly. Suspecting he had seen it wrong, he squinted and leaned forward, circling around that mark and inspecting it carefully.
Finally, he understood.
“You were bitten by a dog, so you came to bite me, is that it?”
It was Chi Yuheng’s first time hearing someone scold themselves in such a roundabout way.
Regarding Ye Ran’s refusal to acknowledge it, Chi Yuhengâwith an exceptionally good temperâpointed at the mark on his own neck. “You kissed it.”
“I kissed…”
Ye Ran’s words got stuck in his throat. After reacting, he instantly raised his volume, “I kissed it?!”
“It wasn’t a dog bite?”
Chi Yuheng raised an eyebrow, a smile hidden in his eyes. “If you’re willing to admit you’re a little dog, I have no objection.”
Ye Ran: “…”
He temporarily controlled the urge to go up and give Chi Yuheng two punches, then braced himself to explain first.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. I fell asleep in the bathroom; how could I specifically go to kiss you?”
While listening to his quibbling, Chi Yuheng leisurely peeled a shrimp. After the white, plump shrimp meat was peeled, he neatly placed it on the plate in front of Ye Ran.
“You remember falling asleep in the bathroom, but do you still remember how you got out of the bathroom?”
Ye Ran was stunned. “Oh, how did I get out?”
Chi Yuheng gave the correct answer. “I wiped you clean and carried you out.”
Ye Ran felt there was absolutely a possibility for this; otherwise, it was impossible for him to be sitting here eating right nowâhe would still be hanging naked in the bathtub.
If Chi Yuheng hadn’t carried him out, he would have definitely caught a cold the next day once the water cooled down.
Ye Ran looked back at the past and found that Chi Yuheng seemed to have always been like this to him; it seemed that being good to him had become Chi Yuheng’s habit or instinct.
In the original plot, he had stubbornly focused on craving the Ye family’s attention while ignoring that with Chi Yuheng there, he was originally the focus of attention.
There was no need to try to get love; he was simply living in love.
Ye Ran ate the shrimp Chi Yuheng had peeled for him, the corners of his mouth curling up.
The servant’s cooking today had improved; this shrimp was quite delicious.
Chi Yuheng observed Ye Ran’s reaction. Knowing he believed the part about being carried out, he continued, “As a result, before I could put a certain someone on the bed, that someone tangled onto me like a kitten.”
“He gave me a slap to tell me to behave, but he himself didn’t behave and kept clinging to me for kisses.”
Hearing Chi Yuheng’s description, Ye Ran’s jaw nearly dropped.
Was the person Chi Yuheng talking about really him?!
Since only the two of them were in the dining room, Chi Yuheng simply spoke plainly. “After kissing once, it wasn’t enough; you wanted to kiss a second time. You insisted on taking off my clothes and making me stay…”
Ye Ran could hardly listen anymore. Was he so open after getting drunk?
Finally, Chi Yuheng summarized with one sentence, “Everything is possible.”
It was considered a final verdict on Ye Ran taking advantage of being drunk to force Chi Yuheng to kiss him.
Ye Ran felt an urge to find a crack in the floor to crawl into under Chi Yuheng’s gaze. He stiffened his neck and tried to make a final quibble, “If I wanted to kiss you, you just let me kiss you?”
“Such a big person, don’t you know how to resist?”
Chi Yuheng chuckled. “You were hanging on me like a pendant. If I threw you out, your butt would hurt when you hit the floor.”
“So, between your butt hurting and me not resisting, which one do you choose?”
Ye Ran: “…”
Ye Ran: “”
In any case, he wouldn’t choose his butt hurting.
But business was business. Ye Ran pointed to his own neck. “Even if the mark on your body was from my kiss, how do you explain the one on my neck?”
“No explanation needed.” Chi Yuheng spoke calmly and righteously, “Reciprocityâit’s only right.”
Ye Ran: “…”
So, his going to kiss Chi Yuheng was forcing a decent man, and Chi Yuheng’s kissing him was reciprocity.
The same thing, two concepts; coming from Chi Yuheng’s mouth, it seemed like he was the one who profited.
Fortunately, Chi Yuheng was his childhood friend and not his nemesis; otherwise, if he started playing mind games with him, he could be tricked until not even his dregs remained.
No matter how it was said, Ye Ran was the one who took the initiative to kiss first; he was the one in the wrong.
But he just relied on the fact that there was no surveillance in the bedroom, planning to carry out his refusal to acknowledge it to the end, even if his reason wasn’t sound.
“You say my neck was kissed by you, do you have evidence?”
Chi Yuheng spread his hands quite consciously. “Indeed, there’s no evidence. After all, Young Master Ye has always been the type to pull up his pants and refuse to acknowledge his actions. So it’s fine; I don’t need you to take responsibility.”
The more Ye Ran heard this, the more it felt wrong.
He felt like he was a scumbagâsomeone had come to his door, and he still wouldn’t admit it.
Originally, he wanted to pursue Chi Yuheng, but he didn’t expect that after getting drunk, his body would act before his words.
Now that he was being mocked, if he wasn’t more proactive in pursuing the person, he estimated there would be no “afterward.”
Thus, Ye Ran took a big gulp of water, summoned his courage, and focused his pupils on the man. “I’ll take responsibility. Chi Yuheng, I want to pursue you…”
Before this, Ye Ran had envisioned several scenarios where he would tell Chi Yuheng he wanted to pursue him; in short, none were like thisâit was a bit sudden.
His fingertips rubbed against the edge of the chopsticks as he waited for Chi Yuheng’s answer.
Chi Yuheng was stunned, clearly not expecting these words to come from Ye Ran’s mouth.
The little child he had pampered since childhood had suddenly matured. Just now, he personally told him he wanted to pursue him!
Chi Yuheng’s brain reacted for a few seconds, the corners of his mouth about to curl but held back.
He put on a thoughtful look. “I need to think about it.”
When he said this, Ye Ran got a bit anxious. If Chi Yuheng said no, he would lose face to the extreme.
After all, not being able to win someone over was one thing, but not even being given the chance to pursue was another.
Ye Ran could only bring out his trump card. “Before, you said you would grant me three things. Now I’m stating the second one: agree to let me pursue you.”
Chi Yuheng was stunned again. Ye Ran actually used the second matter on pursuing him.
Ye Ran didn’t care anymore; he just wanted a chance.
The tsundere cat stiffened his neck somewhat forcefully. “Agree to let me pursue; you can’t refuse.”
Chi Yuheng reacted for a few seconds and chuckled. “Baby, you’re so domineering.”
