Chapter 18: Let's Date

"Let's date," Ēn Chén said.

Zhēng Yù shoved him away. Ēn Chén tried not to let it show just how much that hurt his heart. Especially not when he had expected it. When he knew he had that treatment coming.

"Yes, let's date."

He held his breath, fully expecting things to shatter and fall apart here. he could see Zhēng Yù's hackles up, he could tell he felt backed into a corner, thrown off guard. and Zhēng Yù had never been one to be able to handle either of those things well.

"Date," Zhēng Yù whispered, subconsciously touching and pulling at his lip.

Ēn Chén nodded. Zhēng Yù watched his lips as if he were a laser honing in on his target.

Ēn Chén did his best not to laugh, he knew Zhēng Yù would get the wrong idea, and would react extremely poorly to that sort of reaction after what he had just said.

But the more he stared, the more Ēn Chén's body responded in different magnanimous ways.
