That kid Li Yu was putting on airs with him too. Jian Suiying waited a full two weeks before he finally dragged himself over to the office, clearly reluctant.

Jian Suiying didn't call him himself; he sent Secretary Liang to urge him.

Secretary Liang usually looked out for Li Yu—he even called her "Sis." With her repeatedly following orders to chase him up, Li Yu had no choice but to show up, however grudgingly.

Jian Suiying summoned Li Yu to her office.

Li Yu still wore that heavy black down jacket, paired with snow-white sweatpants, holding the materials he intended to show her.

Jian Suiying sat back in her chair with his legs crossed, chin raised in haughty disdain as he sneered, "

"It seems even I can't persuade you, the big shot."

bother to invite a big shot like you."

Li Yu glanced at him before lowering his eyes and placing the documents on the desk.

Jian Suiying casually flipped through the items he'd brought over, snorted disdainfully through his nose, and tossed them aside.

"We've got training today."

Li Yu nodded.

"But I'm afraid you won't be able to go today."

Li Yu looked up, frowning.

Jian Suiying rose from his chair. "Shouldn't we settle our personal grievances?" Li Yu instinctively took a step back, watching him warily.

He still remembered being in that office building, dozens of people outside the door, his lonely, bored heart always ready for a free hot

spectacle.

Jian Suiying was infuriated by his expression. "Do you think I, Jian Suiying, am some kind of ball you can kick around whenever you feel like it?

? Let me tell you, it's not that easy."

Li Yu just stared back at him.

"Li Er, how come after all this time, we've gotten along pretty well, and you just want to break up? I feel fucking cheated.

. Did I just fuck you for free for half a year? You really think all the good things in the world come knocking on your door?" "So what do you want?"

"Easy. Just drop your pants and give me one last proper session. We'll wipe the slate clean, and I'll never bother you again."

Jian Suiying pressed closer, his expression darkening.

Jian Suiying's eyes widened, and he suddenly lunged forward.

He stared at Jian Suiying in disbelief, his eyes filled with rage and panic. He never dreamed Jian Suiying would stoop to such despicable tactics.

Before losing consciousness, he thought to himself: I had seriously overestimated Jian Suiying.

Jian Suiying watched Li Yu collapse with a thud, his palms sweaty as he panted heavily.

Having learned from past experiences, he knew he couldn't beat Li Yu in a fight. Going head-to-head would only put him at a disadvantage. He wasn't a fool.

and since he couldn't win, he had to find another way. There was no need to clash head-on with him anymore.

Though this method was unscrupulous, he'd done plenty of disreputable things since childhood. As long as it achieved his goal,

achieve his goal, he couldn't care less.

But seeing Li Yu lying motionless on the ground, eyes tightly shut yet his face twisted with unwillingness, he felt a wave of confusion wash over him.

Jian Suiying first vented his anger by kicking Li Yu several times in the thigh, leaving shoe prints all over his snow-white sweatpants before he finally felt satisfied.

After kicking him, she dragged Li Yu off the ground and hauled him into her dressing room. She stripped off his outer clothes and tossed them onto

onto the bed.

Where to begin? Young Master Jian was troubled.

Though he'd managed to subdue Li Yu in one go, he now lacked the courage to proceed further.

He desperately wanted Li Yu, but taking advantage of him while unconscious was absolutely not what he desired.

What he craved was passionate, fiery sex—the kind where both partners burned with desire, craving each other intensely.

not a one-sided act of revenge and release.

Though that had been his initial intention, at the crucial moment, he found himself unable to go through with it.

even the slightest desire vanished.

After all these years, he realized for the first time that he might actually be afraid of something. He feared the look of disgust and hatred in Li Yu's eyes when he woke up.

Jian Suiying slowly leaned down, pressed a few kisses to Li Yu's lips, then lifted her head and slapped him across the face.

slap across the face.

What a curse! Why did he have to fall for someone who clearly didn't want him? Wasn't this just masochism? Li Yu was impossible—neither soft nor hard tactics worked. He was utterly helpless.

No matter how coarse Jian the Rogue's heart might be, it now tasted a bit of melancholy and bitterness.

Jian Suiying agonized for another half hour, stripping Li Yu completely bare, yet ultimately couldn't bring himself to touch him.

He knew he’d been a real wimp this time. When that someone asked him later how the potion worked, he’d probably blush. Just as he was sighing in frustration, Li Yu’s phone rang.

Jian Suiying jumped in fright, picked it up from the floor, and saw the caller ID read "Coach."

He recalled today was supposedly Li Yu's training day, but he dismissed it as unimportant and simply hung up.

To his surprise, the coach wouldn't give up. He called back immediately after being rejected, then again after being rejected again, persistent and relentless.

"Damn, he's like a nagging ghost," Jian Suiying muttered under his breath before turning the phone off altogether.

He tucked the blanket around Li Yu, then left the lounge and sat at his desk, lost in thought.

A moment later, Secretary Liang entered, handed him some documents, then cast a suspicious glance around the office, looking as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

.

Jian Suiying glanced at her. "What is it?" "Nothing... nothing."

Only then did Jian Suiying recall that she had seen Li Yu enter his office and hadn't come out since—it had been nearly two hours.

. Clearing his throat, he said, "Li Yu's in there using the restroom." "Oh." Secretary Liang remained doubtful but dared not say more.

Others in the company might not know about the ambiguous relationship between Jian Suiying and Li Yu, but as the secretary who interacted with Jian Suiying the most,

she had ample opportunity to observe them. Besides, she knew perfectly well whether her boss was gay or straight.

But since they usually kept up appearances, Secretary Liang naturally had to pretend ignorance. She just needed her salary to support her family—

to scrape by, the less she knew about her boss's private life, the better.

Jian Suiying had always admired this smart, capable woman who was so rational and measured. He wasn't the least bit worried that she'd discover his relationship with Li Yu.

He tapped his fingers on the desk. "Go get us some lunch. Don't worry about anything else." "Yes."

That drug was remarkably potent. By six in the evening, when everyone else had left the office, Li Yu still hadn't woken up.

If not for his steady breathing and the appearance of deep, peaceful sleep, Jian Suiying would have considered taking him to the hospital.

He grabbed Li Yu by the collar and slapped him twice, hard enough that the sound echoed throughout the entire lounge.

"Wake up! Do you think this is your home? Have you grown addicted to sleeping here?"

Li Yu showed no reaction at first. Only after Jian Suiying delivered several more slaps did Li Yu slowly come to. Jian Suiying tossed him back onto the bed and looked down at him from above.

It took a full minute for Li Yu's gaze to shift from hazy confusion to clarity. Throughout that minute, Jian Suiying watched him

Suiying was sent crashing to the floor, the back of his head smashing against the wall with a loud thud.

His vision blurred for several seconds before he regained his senses, cursing furiously, "I haven't even fucked you yet, you fucking want to die?!"

Li Yu's face turned pale. He swept the bedside lamp onto the floor with one hand, his fingers trembling as he pointed at him. "I have a competition today... Jian Suiying, why don't you just die..."

Anyway, though it's still not quite polished, I'll try my best to keep updating. Hope you all understand.
