Chapter 649 - Let’s Call Him a Former Lover (1/2)

Xiang Yu leaned back as far as Xin Lan leaned forward, his eyes widening. What was this guy trying to do?

”Alternatively …” Xin Lan reached out as if he wanted to touch him.

Xiang Yu jumped away and hid behind the corner. ”No.”

”No to turning my feelings into eternal gratitude? Or … to the alternative?” Xin Lan approached the corner with a smile. He didn't even need to act. He really felt that … this was quite fun. Just look at his expression! When had he ever seen a fallen god look like this? And he hadn't even threatened him. He was just talking about feelings.

”I …” Xiang Yu's lips moved but he finally stopped talking and hid further behind the corner. Only a pair of widened eyes peeked out behind it while his long hair fell to the side like a black veil.

Xin Lan's eyes narrowed. If this had been before he met Jinde … this might actually have tempted him. He wasn't that much into the innocent type but he did enjoy to hunt. And this person … with how he retreated two steps as soon as he took one toward him, he did entice him. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad to play a bit with him. Xin Lan's lips curved further and he leaned against the wall again, waiting for Xiang Yu's reaction.

The fallen god didn't budge. He stayed behind the corner and stared at Xin Lan, looking out for any movement.

The two of them reached an impasse.

Xin Lan crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised his chin. Mn. How curious. It seemed that despite his erroneous belief that he was into him, this fallen god didn't think much of him in return. If anything, he saw him as a danger he should evade. Well, with how he had fallen because of a love trial, that wasn't too surprising.

”Do you detest the thought of me being in love with you that much?”

Xiang Yu's head bobbed up and down. He didn't want this guy to like him! That wasn't a real dragon! He couldn't love. It would just end in disaster again. And anyway, Tian had said that he would find somebody to love in the future. Why should he waste himself on this bad person?

”Then you want me gone.”

Xiang Yu nodded again but still didn't speak. The less he said the better. That fake dragon should leave soon if he kept mum, shouldn't he?

”But … I think I like what I see more and more.” He pushed himself off the wall and took a step to the corner. ”Ah, the way you try to hide from me, covering your slender body and exposing your beautiful eyes that sparkle in the dark …”

Xiang Yu's eyes widened.

”You really know how to make a man lose his mind, don't you?”

Xiang Yu shook his head and hid even further behind the corner.

”Mn, that's what you say but … Why do I feel that it's not the truth? I really can't imagine that this is only my one-sided affection. Are you sure you do not want to accept my feelings?” He took another step toward the corner only to find the fallen god retreat further.
