The gift

"I am lonely here, I could use a cheerful and intelligent companion like your son."

"I just hope he won't get you stressed because he is very a curious child," Lu Mingyu told me warmly. It was difficult for him to detect that strong love he had for his very cute son.

The thought of the boy's beauty made him wonder who the boy's mother was. "What about his mother?" YanJun dared to ask. He felt the man hugging him stiffen slightly. It did not last long before he relaxed again but he remained silent.

"Are you jealous?" Lu Mingyu asked instead of giving YanJun the answer that will satisfy his curiosity.

"Why will I be?" he asked calmly yet he could not explain that feeling of thirst he felt when Mingyu asked him.

"Because you keep asking. If you want to know about her, I will tell you but you must not get too jealous. Jealousy could hurt and some people harm other people due to jealousy," the man warned him monotonously.

He was forced to swallow nervously. He could hear the warning the man was giving him with that statement. He confirmed further that he had been kidnapped by a true psychopath who will most likely stop at nothing to make him alone.

"Do you get jealous?" He found himself asking fearfully.

"Of course. I do and things could get really bad when I am jealous. I know that which is why I am been frank about it to you so you won't get me jealous enough to kill someone for you."

Well, he was not only dealing with a psychopath but a murderer too. He did not want to know more about how dangerous this man was. Sometimes it is best to be ignorant till the end.

The man pulled him closer before leaving a goodnight kiss that made YanJun freeze on the back of his neck.

From getting shipped with his group members to having a fan who shipped himself with him and worked towards making sure it happened, if he knew, he would never have become an idol.

(✷‿✷)

It was fun spending time with the young master Lu who was a companion that ensured YanJun was never bored in his presence and he did it so wisely that he could not be tagged as a bother for any reason.

The boy only spent approximately an hour with him in the past few days but it was enough for YanJun who did not have the opportunity to talk to anyone for the past few days to feel the warmth.

Today, the boy had just gotten back from school and without changing from his uniform, he ran to YanJun's room. The guard who was warned not to let anyone into the left wing of the house where YanJun stayed, was frozen and unable to stop the young master from going in.

The boy who they were forced to believe had facial paralysis, was smiling as he ran up the stairs with a box. The man found the sight too beautiful to think of obstructing him. He glanced at the other guard and nodded before looking at Jason.

Jason stopped in front of the door and knocked while his hands shook excitedly. He knocked again and when he received an invitation, he opened the door and walked in with the little black box.

"Oh Jason," YanJun brightened up at the sight of the boy. It has been boring in the room he had to stay in for the past few hours and he did not expect the boy to come to him.

Jason always sent Ye Miao to invite him over he has never come to his room before. He was dressed in his uniform and it was difficult for him to notice the tiredness in his green eyes.

"Are you okay? Did you run?" he had to ask when he noticed the boy was breathing deeply.

"Hmm, I came to give you these," the boy replied with an energetic nod. He looked down at the box he held and when he stretched the box toward YanJun, he blushed slightly.

"What is this?" YanJun had to ask when he noticed the slightly deeper shade on the boy's cheeks.

"A gift," the boy replied hastily before burying his hand into his pocket and pulling out an envelope. "I stopped on my way home to buy you that so that you will accept my invitation," the boy blushed in expectation.

"What invitation?" YanJun was forced to ask as he placed the box down to collect the envelope to see its content but the boy pulled the envelope back.

"To my school talent show," the boy replied. He looked at YanJun hopefully. When he noticed YanJun frowning, he hurriedly said, "You have to see the gift first before you give me your answer."

To appease the boy who was most likely begging all the gods in the world for help, he opened the box. It was not a phone as he praying it will be but it was a nice cute cupcake. He was taken aback since that was the least of his expectation.

He had to ask, "Why did you buy a cup cake?"

"You said your favorite baker was Yang You," the boy reminded. "This cup cake was baked by him today."

He swallowed as he inhaled the inviting scent from the cup cake and he had to swallow. This was really Yang You's cake. The man was his childhood favorite baker but he only got to eat his cake a few times since he was not living at home.

This would have been a good bribe if he did not need permission from the boy's father. He was almost certain that Lu Mingyu will not let him go back.

"How do you know I love his cake?" he had to ask the boy.

"You posted it on social media when you came to the country. You took a picture of it too," the boy reminded him.

Oh yeah, he did not have his phone to confirm but he could remember slightly that he did that when he visited the country and his brother bought the cake for him.
