The Assassin's Enemy Lover

When he grasped it he pulled it over and plastered it on his face before screaming into it a couple of times. When he recalled how arrogant he was earlier he felt so bad that he didn’t have the face to see Yi Chen again.

After a few minutes of self-derision, Zi Han abruptly raised his head while biting the inside of his lower lip. “I didn’t ask him to do it for me so why should I feel bad?” he said trying to self hypnotize but haha, we all know that it was pointless.

Zi Han got off the bed and kept talking to himself while taking out a pair of gray sweat pants and a black t-shirt to wear. Soon a white blouse flew out of the walk in closet and straight into the laundry bin.

“Nope..... Nah-uh... I didn’t. I shouldn’t feel bad. Nope not at all,” he muttered before tossing the skirt and a pair of socks into the laundry bin.

Soon a handsome young man dressed casually exited the walk-in closet. With a low hum, he left his bedroom heading downstairs. But just as he approached the stairs he heard Zi Xingxi speaking her tone a little angry.

“You must be joking... you are most definitely reading too much into it,” she said as she slumped her body onto the couch and put her feet up with her head tilted back.

Zi Feiji followed after her and said, “And that map too. I asked that arrogant bastard why he brought it back. Do you know what he said?..... He said it was his son’s request. Now you tell me if I am reading too much into it? I might be old but my mind is operating just fine.”

When Zi Han heard this he suddenly trotted back to his bedroom his mind a mess. He didn’t understand what the hell Yi Chen was thinking. What did he want? Was it to mess with his brain or something? None of it made sense.

.....

Leaning with his back against his bedroom door he looked at his light brain and suddenly had a thought. He opened the chat interface with Yi Chen and saw those two messages were still lying there quietly with no response.

After much thought, he took off his slippers, and lay on the bed before typing something.

HandsomeHan: I saw the copied scr_

He typed these words but before he could finish he bit the tip of his thumb constructing what to write in his mind. Displeased he erased the message and started again.

HandsomeHan: What do you want?

After writing this he didn’t even think twice. He just sent the message and waited. Two, three, four... ten minutes later and it showed the message hadn’t been read yet.

Annoyed he minimized the interface and opened Starnet’s search engine. He stopped biting his thumb and typed out the question.

Why is a boy suddenly doing something nice for me....

A myriad of instant results popped up from his search and the first few answers made his lips twitch. One search result was titled ‘Is he cheating?’ and the other was ‘Signs you are in a toxic relationship.’

“Fuck... that’s not even applicable,” he mumbled while erasing his search and rewording it.

A person who hates me suddenly does something nice for me.....

But even then nothing useful came up which was quite frustrating. He ended up on a forum as someone had asked the same question.

Answers like they want something from you, manipulation, and gas lighting to make you confused popped up but even Zi Han couldn’t see that when Yi Chen spoke to him. Now that he thought back the guy seemed very sincere like he meant that apology however poorly worded it was.

This led Zi Han in another direction. He deleted his question and typed in a new one;

Can an enemy become a friend?....

The answers were quite insightful. If Yi Chen truly wanted to make peace with him then that wasn’t a problem. It’s just that his behavior today was a little bad.

He decided to find a way to coax Yi Chen and like an amateur, he typed in the question again but before he could read the answers on how to coax a boy his bedroom door was suddenly knocked and two seconds later his grandfather walked in.

“Let’s go have dinner,” said Zi Feiji his expression much calmer than before. Zi Han immediately got up while minimizing the screen. He could only continue with his research later.

Meanwhile, Yi Chen stepped out of the shower his body steaming from all the heat. As he stood by the mirror he looked at the slight swelling on his pectoral muscle. He suddenly recalled that sly grin on Zi Han’s face when he pinched him and his heart felt an inexplicable itch.

He was seriously starting to suspect that he had some masochistic tendencies because he wasn’t the least bit angry about Zi Han pinching his nipple. In fact, he felt a wisp of happiness knowing that Zi Han’s eyes were all on him at that time.

Never in his life did he think he would be the type of person who would simp on someone so much that he would still be satisfied even when they are angry with him. He just wanted Zi Han’s attention regardless of what sort of attention it was.

Yi Chen wiped his hair with a slight smile on his face that’s when he noticed his light brain blinking on the desk. Untying his bath towel covering his lower half he commanded the AI system running his mech and light brain saying,

“Read the new notifications.”

“Yes sir..... FenFen said he misses you, FunRan said he-,” it read but Yi Chen wasn’t interested so he interjected.

“Any from HandsomeHan?” he directly asked. He didn’t expect there to be any messages from Zi Han. In fact, he wasn’t even sure if he would open that folder bag. He was just being hopeful which is why he asked. To his surprise, Zi Han actually sent him a message.

‘Yes, there is..... HandsomeHan asked ‘What do you want?’.....”

Yi Chen who had put on his underwear paused for a second before pulling them up all the way and walking over. He directly picked up his light brain to read the message himself.
