Rock

"Stop talking anymore."

Mingze put his hands on Yichen's mouth on his attempt to make him to stop talking. His face was red enough that he would burst. He was not used to compliments, Xie Mingze was the type to think that when someone was praising him it was because they are joking around.

No one had ever complimented him before, he had never been the popular type. Xie Mingze was always overshadowed by Fen Yichen's brilliance, at one point he just thought it was normal that no one would like him. 

While Fen Yichen was busy getting confessions left and right in highschool, he was busy running errand for the girls in his class to pass on those letters. 

Not like he was jealous about it. He doesn't like girls, he just became too busy he didn't managed to have puppy love in highschool. 

Xie Mingze unconsciously stepped back as soon as Fen Yichen licked his palms.

"I can't breath." He complained before burrying his face on the nape of Mingze's neck.

The height difference was another thing that annoyed Mingze. His head reached only until Yichen's shoulders, so it was easy for him to put his head on him like this. 

The professor entered the room with the crestfallen Mu Bai, he glared at Fen Yichen but faltered for some reason. 'Damn homos.' he mouthed, but he was ignored.

Yichen was in a good mood so he wouldn't retaliate that much, it was thanks to his idiocacy of stealing something in front of a CCTV that he managed to announce his relationship with Mingze to everyone.

New travel fast, so he was sure in no time, everyone would be aware that Mingze 

"Where should we have lunch?"

Oliver was annoyed and purposely kicked a rock in his way. Damn Fen Yichen, who is he to make him look like an idiot? 

That spotlight stealer is something good? He is just a damn rock on road, something ordinary. Remembering that smug look on his face was honestly frustrating for Oliver. He never expected Mu Bai would be someone who would steal something, he even sided with the bastard on the cafe last time. 

After going back here all sorts of things kept on happenning to him. 

His phone rang, it was his manager. He is an idol trainee at Bee company, Oliver is currently trying his luck to be included in their new group. There is going to be a monthly test in a few days. 

[Oliver where are you?]

-I'm still at the university, why?

[Are you crazy? The test would be in a few hours.]

-It's still on thursday.

[Today is thursday, brat! Get your ass here or you might get kick out.]

Beep.

Just his luck, the day he left his car was the same day there would be a test. He needs to hitch a ride, but to who?

Seeing a familiar back approaching the red sports car, he remember Fen Yichen's boastful attitude from before.

"Xie Mingze!" He shouted at the top of his lungs while running towards him.

Mingze assumed a fighting pose, Oliver's facial expression was a bit ferocious he assumed he was picking a fight.

"Let me hitch a ride, I need to go to a test. I know I've been rude to you, but this is a do or die."

Without anytime left, he just info dumped Mingze, "You forgot the magic word."

What magic word? What the heck is a magic word? Should he just grovel here? The damn school doesn't even allow any public vehicle inside campus, and it would take him a long time to get out of here or call for his driver.

With no other choice he decided to just kneel. He already thrown away a lot of things, letting his knees touch the ground is no big deal.

"Are you crazy? I just wanted you to say please, why are you suddenly kneeling. You're giving me a heart attack."

"Then you can let me hitch a ride?"

"Unfortunately I don't know how to ride. As for borrowing it… Aish, just take it. I'll explain to the owner I lent his car, but I need proof you're the one who borrowed it." Xie Mingze took out his phone and started a video.

"Oliver would be borrowing this car, if he doesn't return it I'll be using this as evidence and give it to the police."

The only reason Xie Mingze could trust him with the car was because he knew majority of the people here are rich. They could easily pay off this car if they wanted. As for explaining to Fen Yichen that he lent the car to someone else, he still needed time to think about how he would do that.

Oliver with no more time to think, left his number to Mingze and drove off.

"Is that our car over there?"

A hand made its way to his shoulder, pulling him in for a back hug. 

"I loaned your car, don't worry I made sure you would be paid properly."

"That's not the point. Why do you have his number?" 

The small paper was snatched out from Xie Mingze's hands. It was the paper where Oliver wrote his number so he could contact him. 

"He gave it to me."

"Why are you accepting some guy's number? Xie Mingze we are dating. For times like this you should let me talk with him."

Fen Yichen was obviously displeased, sulking. It took him a long time to get close to Mingze and no way he would let him chat with anyone. 

"You're way too nice, you shouldn't talk with Oliver. He hates your guts, he was also the prime suspect who put those thumbtacks on your shoes. We don't have evidence, but he was the prime suspect."

This is exactly why he is worried Xie Mingze would one day get kidnapped. A person tell them their sob story and then he believes them and just let them get away with a lot of things.
