Chapter 91
Note: Hi everyone! This was supposed to be posted last Sunday, but I had to finish a few things at work first. Sorry for making you wait! Anyway, make sure to come back later today as I'll be posting a few early chapter releases, thanks to a generous donation on Ko-Fi! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
The man before him leaned closer, his eyes twinkling like stars, mirroring miniatures of himself. Mu Cai's eyes slightly tilted up at the corners, looking upward from below at Li Yu with an indescribable allure.
Li Yu kept his composure, but couldn't help his fractured breathing, growing a bit rushed.
Indeed, Mu Cai was standing too close to him. The slender body of the other nearly crashed into Li Yu's arms. Li Yu stretched out his hand to restrain Mu Cai's arm, trying to widen the distance between them to prevent himself from losing control. However, as he pressed down, he mostly grasped the puff of Mu Cai's shirt sleeve, not holding onto the other's thin forearm until the very end.
Li Yu couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows.
Too thin.
He thought the person standing in front of him was like delicate, easily fractured porcelain. And the person himself was oblivious, practically sticking to him. Li Yu initially wanted to lightly push Mu Cai away by holding his arm, but instead, he drew the other into his chest. His other hand timely grabbed Mu Cai's shoulder, ambiguously pulling him into his embrace.
Mu Cai was completely unaware of this. In his view, these actions were a normal response from Li Yu as he faced Mu Cai's relentless pursuit. Li Yu wanted to push him away, but didn't want to genuinely offend him. Seeing that Li Yu hadn't answered his question, Mu Cai couldn't help but urge again, "Do you want to confirm this sponsorship...or not?"
The young man nestled in Li Yu's embrace lifted his head to look up at him. From this angle, the other's face appeared smaller, eyes larger, and his expression seemed extremely innocent. It was as if he didn't see any issue with his words.
With such a natural attitude and a skillful approach, despite being prepared, Li Yu's heart couldn't help but sink.
He replied with a question, "How many lovers have you had, Young Master Mu?"
Mu Cai looked at Li Yu's calm, indifferent expression, thinking that he had reached the crucial point.
In the original storyline, the protagonist was always unwilling to be supported by the original body. On one hand, it was due to his normal values and prideful nature. On the other hand, it was because he didn't appreciate the original body's status as a notorious playboy.
Faced with Li Yu's question, Mu Cai's heart was filled with anxiety. Based on his memories of the original body, even he himself probably didn't know how many lovers he had had.
He definitely couldn't answer truthfully!
As soon as Mu Cai thought of that, he ambiguously replied with a guilty conscience, "I've had some, but we've all parted ways now, haven't we?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh internally. Although it was all due to the original body, he had to bear the burden alone. Ah, how miserable he was.
The person in front of him furrowed his distant brows slightly, and the corners of his red lips pouted, appearing somewhat aggrieved.
Li Yu felt very dissatisfied with the vague response of the little enchantress clinging to him and acting coquettishly. However, he knew that if the other party told the truth, it might not be something he would want to hear either. Li Yu had no choice but to deal with the person in his arms, further reinforcing his desire not to be dependent on Mu Cai.
If he just agreed, would the other party still see him as an equal to love?
Definitely not!
He, Li Yu, would only become one of the many lovers of the young master Mu, and when Mu Cai pursued the next lover, Li Yu would be just one of the countless people Mu Cai could not recall.
What he wanted wasn't just Mu Cai's temporary admiration and indulgence.
So Li Yu said firmly, "I refuse."
Mu Cai wasn't disappointed when he heard this, as according to the original storyline, the original character's pursuit of the protagonist took a long time. He did not force Li Yu but showed a little disappointment before trying to persuade him, "Alright. But even if you don't want to be with me, you shouldn't stay in this club. Next time such a situation occurs, I might not be able to come in time."
The person in front of him had a serious look, and his bright, black eyes were fixed on Li Yu. Even though the person in his arms still seemed somewhat aggrieved with furrowed brows, he had already begun to persuade him earnestly. Li Yu's heart was moved, and his tone softened, "It's almost the New Year. Aside from here, I have nowhere else to go."
After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself, "I guess Young Master Mu's family life must be full of happiness and success, so you can't understand my situation."
The world could be a little mysterious.
Mu Cai started thinking about the fact that he, himself, was involved in the "circle" in his past, and he was an 'S'. Could it be that the boss had such inclinations too? Or was it just an 'S' thing?
He couldn't help but gently probe Li Yu to the side, "Li Yu, I was in a rush when I arrived yesterday and forgot to ask you. The boss didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Li Yu raised an eyebrow, saying half-truthfully and half-falsely, "He didn't do much, but he seemed to want me to be his 'S'."
Mu Cai was astounded.
The main character being an 'S'? That boss really knew how to play!

Author's Note:
Mu Cai feels like he's opened a new door: so there can be an 'S' who is pursued by an 'M'?
Li Yu replied softly, "If Mu Cai wants to, we can try it out soon."
Lu Lu seems confused qwq
