Forcefully Doting On You - v4c5

 

Chapter 90

"Li Yu, my head aches terribly. Can we switch shifts tonight? Can you cover the night shift for me, and I'll take your day shift tomorrow? Is that okay?" A slender, delicate-faced man nervously asked while standing beside Li Yu's bed.

He and Li Yu were recruited to the club at the same time. The man was quite handsome, with distinct facial features, a strong jawline, and a slender waist. Physically, Li Yu was very much his type. However, Li Yu was somewhat aloof, not much of a talker and his face often expressionless. The man had plucked up the courage to chat him up several times, but each time Li Yu's cold demeanor turned him away.

Now, with a pounding headache and strained relations with the others, he nervously sought Li Yu out. Li Yu had the night shift for two consecutive days. Even though he should be resting today, the man wondered if he would mind one more shift.

Certainly, he himself would not want to pull several night shifts in a row, as it was far too draining. He could manage one every few days, but any more than that was too much to handle.

Li Yu, who had just woken up and showed no signs of fatigue, hadn't responded when a message arrived on his phone. Li Yu's screen lit up and a message from someone named "Mu Cai" appeared:

[I'll be coming to see you tonight!]

The man standing nearby caught a glimpse of it. Before he got a good look, however, Li Yu casually flipped his phone over to hide the message.

A meaningful curve suddenly appeared at the corner of Li Yu's usually aloof face. He answered the man's request: "Alright."

After saying this, Li Yu paid no attention to the man's surprised expression. He slipped his phone into his pocket, pulled out his suitcase, and began rummaging for toiletries. He needed to take a thorough shower.

Standing at the club bar counter, Li Yu's slender fingers tapped on a notepad. He addressed the bartender on the other side: "The guest in room number four wants two more Margaritas. Also, Mr. Chai in the same room mentioned that he wants two glasses of Lafite that he left here last time."

The bartender looked at Li Yu, his shirt buttoned up tightly, his face clean, and his hairstyle unmoved after working for over two hours. Everything seemed a little off. While making the drinks, the bartender couldn't help teasing, "What's the special occasion today? You're exceedingly well turned out. Be honest, is one of your wealthy clientele coming to see you?"

He had expected Li Yu to ignore him as usual, standing unaffected by his insinuations. Yet, to his surprise, Li Yu's long eyelashes fluttered briefly. Instead of answering, he atypically tapped on the notepad, urging, "Hurry up."

Initially, the bartender was only joking, but seeing Li Yu's non-response confirmed his suspicions. Having spent many years in this pleasure house, naturally, he recognized that something was up. He marveled and speculated about what type of person had managed to lure someone as unyielding as Li Yu.

Once the two Margaritas were ready and the two glasses of Lafite were poured, Li Yu served them all on a tray and walked away. Gazing at his retreating figure — his broad shoulders, narrow hips, and long legs — and thinking about his slender, graceful fingers and the muscles that rippled on his arms when he rolled up his sleeves, the bartender couldn't help but think Li Yu was an irresistible man that many would desire.

Unfortunately, the bartender suspected that Li Yu was straight, possibly even an aromantic asexual. Li Yu never showed interest in anyone and maintained a cold, indifferent demeanor, rejecting both genders.

Only today did the bartender sense a hint of something different.

Thinking about this, the bartender couldn't help but look forward to the person who could win over Li Yu because anyone who could have such a great guy like him would surely have an abundant of ... pleasure in the future.

As the bartender daydreamed, the revolving door suddenly spun, and a person walked in from outside.

White Chelsea boots stepped on the floor, followed by somewhat baggy, creased black jeans that wrapped around a pair of long, thin legs. A light gray wool coat swung lightly with the newcomer's movements, occasionally revealing a perfect waist-hip line.

The newcomer stood up straight, shoulders level, showing excellent demeanor. The coat carries an elegant air, showing the saying to be true: people depend on clothes; horses depend on saddles. And when one combines this with stunning looks — pale skin, red lips, bright eyes, and dazzling teeth — they become a marvel to behold. So stunning, so brilliant, that the bartender immediately forgot about Li Yu, his eyes and mind filled with this newcomer.

It was the second young master of the Mu family!

No matter how many times he saw him, Mu Cai always looked good! It would be great to see him every day!

As the bartender gazed at Mu Cai, he saw him walk towards his direction. With a slight upward curve at the corners of his rosy lips, Mu Cai greeted him politely, "Hello, is Li Yu here?"

Facing the request, the bartender almost didn't need to think and immediately offered help: "Li Yu is on the night shift today. He just went to the third floor, Room 4, to deliver drinks. You can find him there, Mr. Mu."

Mu Cai nodded and smiled again, his shiny black eyes curving into crescents, and a little softness appearing on his cheeks: "Thank you."

As he thought about it, he added: "Your 'Forest Walk' cocktail is really good."

The bartender felt as if his heart had been shot by Cupid's arrow of love. Looking at Mu Cai, he could almost see a radiant halo above his head.

"Forest Walk" was a signature cocktail he had created. Its refreshing aroma and pleasant taste made it a popular choice. However, in such a high-class club, the guests were either rich or influential. They only drank and rarely paid much attention to a bartender, perhaps not even knowing who made their drinks.

Though the bartender had long learned to focus on making money - the more sales, the greater his share, and the more people who liked his cocktails - deep down, he still genuinely hoped to hear positive compliments from guests.

Today, Mu Cai fulfilled his small dream, not only remembering that he made the drink but also praising him!

Mu Cai was like an angel!

The bartender excitedly watched Mu Cai walk toward the stairs, his gaze following that slender, beautiful figure until it disappeared around the corner. Only then did his heated thoughts cool down, and he belatedly realized something wasn't quite right.

Wait, who was Mr. Mu looking for again?

It seems to be Li Yu.

Damn it! How lucky Li Yu is to get the attention of second young master Mu!

Jealousy surged in the bartender's heart, and he couldn't help but whine while holding the bottle.

He also wanted to get Mu Ershao's attention. Such a handsome and considerate boyfriend, regardless of his financial status, he really wanted to hold him in his arms, pamper him, and ravish him in bed!

Li Yu entered room number four.

The atmosphere within this room was different from the time he hosted the young master of the Mu family. Although there were many people and some private ambiguity then, they were mostly joking around. But this time, it was different. The room was dimly lit with smoke filling the air. Corpulent middle-aged men were each accompanied by a boneless-looking woman or a youthful, tender boy.

Only one man, who was sitting on a sofa with a somewhat balding head but not portly, was alone. He was holding a glass of red wine. When he saw Li Yu push the door open and enter, a hint of surprise flashed imperceptibly in his eyes.

As usual, Li Yu announced, "Your drinks are here."

His voice was cold, just like his indifferent expression. The middle-aged man who was sitting alone brightened up, his gaze becoming more intense.

Li Yu didn't notice the man's reaction. To be more precise, almost nobody could attract Li Yu's attention except for the necessary interactions with teachers, counselors, and roommates at school. He bent down to place the tray on the coffee table surrounded by sofas and then silently turned and left the room.

After leaving the private room, he walked towards the restroom at the end of the corridor.

The private room was full of cigarette smoke, so Li Yu wanted to freshen up a bit.

He thought that that person wouldn't like the smell of smoke.

It was only yesterday when Mu Cai added him on WeChat that Li Yu learned his name. In theory, they shouldn’t know much about each other. However, when Li Yu recalled the angelic appearance of Mu Cai, he couldn't help but think that such a person wouldn't like the smell of smoke.

He seemed like a polite person, probably a spoiled young master. If one were to go against his wishes, he might act like a spoiled child, meowing and throwing a tantrum.

Unintentionally grinning at the thought, Li Yu reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and checked the pinned message on his WeChat. There was a red dot indicating that Mu Cai had sent him a message earlier:

["I'm coming to find you!"]

The reply was sent over ten minutes ago.

Li Yu's heart tightened slightly.

The other party could arrive at any moment.

He immediately looked at the mirror above the sink. Originally, Li Yu wanted to check if his face was oily, or if his hairstyle was messy, but he was startled when he noticed an unfamiliar man standing not far behind him in the mirror.

The man was wearing a long black coat, inside which was a white sweater, and black patent leather Dr. Martin boots on his feet. His figure was well-maintained, but the balding on his head and some wrinkles on his face revealed his age.

Li Yu felt somewhat familiar with the man. It took him a while to remember that he was the middle-aged man who was alone in Room Four.

Li Yu didn't show any expressions on his face, he just bowed to him and coldly said, "Hello, sir, do you need something?"

The middle-aged man revealed a somewhat greedy look on his face, "Yes, some needs, but they're physical. I don't know if your place provides this kind of service?"

As he spoke, his eyes ambiguously and indecently glanced at the young man's lower three paths. The narrow hips, long legs, and slightly bulging pants all suggested a man of ability.

The statement was forthright. Yet, there was no change in Li Yu's expression, still utterly cold: "Perhaps, sir, you could ask another server. Some among them might be willing to serve you."

Seeing how the other was unaffected, and how the collar of his shirt was meticulously buttoned up to his chin, the middle-aged man became inexplicably more excited: "They won't do. I like you just as you are... this defiance, the way you treat me as trash..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man balding at the crown attempted to reach out and touch Li Yu's face.

Li Yu, of course, would not allow it so easily. Prior to attending university, he had never lost a fight in the streets, and even while studying, he never neglected physical training. As Li Yu prepared to teach this man who dared harass him, an unexpected figure appeared on the corner of his eyes.

Immediately, he retracted his hand, his face, as if miraculously changed, expressed an intense disappointment.

The middle-aged man hardly had time to marvel at his potential submissive’s swift change of expressions before he felt a punch land on his face.

The punch was not particularly forceful but was enough to make him stagger a few steps to the side. The middle-aged man, despite being a m*sochist, did not appreciate being punched for no reason. Controlling his tumbling motion, he was about to rise and voice his anger when he found a dazzlingly attractive young man standing in front of him. Within the young man's radiant eyes, lights were dancing, as he looked coldly at him.

The other had a pale face, eyebrows like distant mountains, and rosy lips. The stark color contrast and delicately chiseled features seemed to be crafted by an artist's hand. He was of similar height and was also dressed in a long coat and boots, but he looked much more fashionable.

Like with combat boots, almost anyone can wear them. However, to wear them well, you need the right figure. Long, straight legs and a good body proportion are necessary to bring out the boots' intended effect.

The middle-aged man's boots seemed decent enough, but next to Mu Cai, they suddenly appeared less appealing. It was not done intentionally; Mu Cai simply benefited from superior natural proportions.

The comparison naturally stirred a sense of inferiority in the middle-aged man. Despite being a commoner, he took great care of his body and skin, dressed well, and played to his strengths. In his age group, he had always taken pride in appearing younger. However, after seeing the truly young and handsome Mu Cai, he felt not only inferior but his m*sochistic tendencies began to show. How could anyone be so beautiful, and look at him with such contempt? Seeing Mu Cai's boots, he couldn't help but fantasize about being trampled by such a celestial being.

Just as he was about to speak, the youth coldly said, "He's the one I've taken a fancy to. Daring to lay hands on him... don't you know who I am?"

After uttering the embarrassing line, Mu Cai felt like his face was on fire.

Li Yu, standing at his side, noticed the blush creeping onto Mu Cai's delicate earlobes and his eyes darkened.

It looked soft and easily flushed. He wanted to have a taste, wondering if it was as delicious as he imagined.

After learning of Mu Cai's connection to the BD$M circle, Li Yu went to research it. The explicit images he found were repulsive, causing some physical discomfort. Now, looking at Mu Cai, he suddenly found the idea not so abhorrent.

The middle-aged man clearly didn't know who Mu Cai was and he hastily asked, "Who are you?"

Mu Cai rolled up his sleeves and said, "My name is Mu Cai and the chairman of Iris Group is my older brother."

The middle-aged man's face turned a shade paler.

While he coveted the person before him, he knew he also needed to stay alive to do so, "I'm sorry, young master Mu. I didn't know he was with you, I'll leave immediately."

Mu Cai replied, "You'd better."

The middle-aged man promptly ran off.

Mu Cai watched as the man's figure disappeared before turning around to face Li Yu.

Just as he did so, he found the other man casually looking at him with his head slightly lowered.

Mu Cai: "..."

Indeed, he knew it wasn't an illusion! The protagonist was actually taller than him!

Now Li Yu had just turned eighteen, while he was already twenty-five years old! The other still had room to grow, but he couldn't!

Angry!

Feeling aggrieved, Mu Cai lost some of his intended spirit in the words he had prepared. His voice echoed more like a spoiled accusation, "He was trying to flirt with you earlier, why didn't you avoid him?"

Li Yu raised an eyebrow, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I'm just a server here, can't really fight back. It seems that Mr. Mu is rating me too high."

Mu Cai felt a mix of anger and distress. Indeed, the protagonist was just a minor character at this time, having beauty but no backing, he was naturally an easy target for everyone. Not everyone was like the previous incarnation, wanting to... keep the protagonist, but would never forcibly harass...

After thinking for a while, he felt a bit angry, and offered advice, "Now that you've caught my eye, haven't you thought of using my name as support? Mention my name and they won't dare to bully you in the future."

The person standing opposite him had soft black hair draped over his ear, the edge of his lip twitching, cheeks slightly puffed. He looked irritated.

He was... simply too adorable.

Li Yu's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "That won't work. How can I bluff without actual... support?"

Upon hearing this, a thought suddenly came to Mu Cai. He leaned in, and seeing that Li Yu didn't move, intentionally spoke with his face close to the other's, "Then, do you want to confirm this... act of support?"
