Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 92: "I promise I will be gentle."

He decided to order hearty rice noodles and chicken to help Qie Xieling sober up otherwise he would wake up tomorrow with a serious hangover. When he hung up the phone Qie Xieling was already up to no good. He was trying to take off his clothes claiming that he was feeling hot.

Luo Muchen had to put a stop to it but Qie Xieling was so stubborn. He took off his t-shirt and tossed it towards the bed but it accidentally hit Luo Muchen’s face.

Luo Muchen pulled the t-shirt off his face resisting the urge to sniff the familiar intoxicating scent. When he raised his head Qie Xieling’s pants were on the ground and the person had already slipped in the bathroom.

The rushing sound of water followed. It seemed Qie Xieling was taking a shower. Luo Muchen walked over to the bathroom door that was ajar but his steps paused before he could cross the threshold. He lightly banged his forehead on the door frame struggling with himself. The drunken haze was slowly taking over but his rationality was still fully functional.

"Lin Lin, if you need anything... you should call me, okay?" he said and Qie Xieling replied loudly,

"Okay!" while scrubbing himself seriously but if one looked closely he could barely stand straight.

Luo Muchen slumped on the bed while rubbing his throbbing forehead.

’This was a bad idea. A very bad idea,’ he thought to himself while gazing at the ceiling.

As the gurgling sound of the kettle sounded in the air, he suddenly sat up. His hand gently swept the comfortable bed cover and he realised a problem.

There was only one bed in this room. Granted, it was a huge bed but still. He exclusively remembered telling the receptionist to give him a room with twin beds but it turns out that wasn’t the case.

Luo Muchen sighed as he got up from the bed and prepared some honey water for the two of them.

When Qie Xieling came out of the shower the noodles had already been delivered and there were two steaming mugs of honey water on the counter.

"I am so drunk," said Qie Xieling while falling face down onto the bed. Luo Muchen had his back to him while fiddling with the remote. He turned around and saw that Qie Xieling was lying flat on the bed with the shape of his two round peaks on his behind enhanced by the white hotel gown.

Luo Muchen couldn’t help but stare a little longer than he should. His Adam’s apple rolled as his thoughts sank deeper into the rabbit hole. If it weren’t that Qie Xieling moved he might have remained in a trance. He got up while reprimanding himself for being a pervert. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Your cell phone was buzzing," he said before picking up one mug and placing it beside the bedside table. "You should drink it while it’s still warm," he continued to say before taking things out of his pocket and placing them on the desk.

Qie Xieling raised his head slightly while asking, "Where are you going?"

Luo Muchen took off his watch while responding, "I need a cold shower."

Qie Xieling let out a soft, "Oh," while picking up the mug on the bedside table. He blew on it softly but after taking a sip he found out that it was still a little hot. He set it aside with a scowl but soon his expression relaxed when he saw something on the desk. He stuck his tongue out with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he crawled off the bed.

Soon he was holding the gift box in his hand while glancing at the closed bathroom door. At that moment he was thinking it wouldn’t hurt to take a look.

Just one peek and Luo Muchen wouldn’t find out. Qie Xieling was curious to see what sort of gift, Luo Muchen would buy for someone he held close to his heart, so justifying it as peeking for research purposes he opened it.

Qie Xieling who was expecting some shiny diamond necklace or something suddenly mumbled, "Damn."

That’s because the pendant in that gift box was something he would love. Now one peek was no longer enough. He stumbled to the bed while pulling out the chain to take a closer look.

It was the white half of a Taiji pendant with a black dragon engraved on it. The fact that there was only one half meant that the other half had to be somewhere as it could only come in pairs.

Qie Xieling bit his cheek as he checked on the bathroom door again. Seeing that the door was still closed and the sound of water was still rushing in Qie Xieling hung it around his neck before stumbling to the mirror to take a look at himself.

"Wah!" he exclaimed his face almost plastered on the mirror. He was so busy admiring himself that he didn’t realise when the bathroom door opened and Luo Muchen stood behind him.

Luo Muchen placed his hand on the wall beside the mirror his body almost half embracing Qie Xieling from behind while saying, "I told you that if you see it you would have to keep it."

"AAAAAHHHHH!!" screamed Qie Xieling having not expected to be caught in the act. He gently slapped Luo Muchen’s chest while complaining, "Are you trying to kill me? I almost died of shock."

Luo Muchen took a step back and fixed the chain at the back of Qie Xieling’s neck. "It suits you so you should keep it," he said and Qie Xieling gazed at him in the mirror his eyes beaming like stars.

"Really?" he exclaimed and Luo Muchen took another step back before saying,

"You can keep it... if you tell me what happened between you and that girl." He wanted to wait until the both of them had sobered up a little and ask but his heart was in so much turmoil that he couldn’t think of anything else. No matter how hard he tried to calm down he still couldn’t get that image out of his mind.

Qie Xieling turned his head more than eager to share. "Nothing, I told her that I don’t like her and she cried... a lot. You thought I kissed her hahaha wouldn’t that be digging my grave... If I was to be trapped in a room with someone for seven minutes of heaven, I would rather it be...," he said before deliberately pausing mid-sentence.

Luo Muchen who was wiping his hair and listening to Qie Xieling’s explanation suddenly met those eyes and his heart skipped a beat. Was it his illusion or Qie Xieling was staring at him like a hungry tiger? Thinking it was the alcohol fogging his mind he brushed it off.

Not for long though because Qie Xieling suddenly pounced on him and the two of them fell on the bed.

"Don’t be shy. It’s just you and me in this room alone. It’s just seven minutes of heaven. I promise I will be gentle," said Qie Xieling his lips brushing against Luo Muchen’s ear.

Luo Muchen: "..."
