Love Rival

"The soufflé here is very soft, would you like to try it?" Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly. He looked like a Border Collie in a white shirt and black suit.

Yu Shu finally kept the appointment.

Yu Huan is either in the library or in the milk tea shop where he works, and rarely stays home. It is easy for him to have wild thoughts when he stays at home alone, but he really doesn't want his mind to be filled with the entanglement between Jiang Yu and the person on the bamboo raft, so he thinks about it again and again and comes to see Li Qingyan.

"No, I don't like sweets." Yu Shu refused coldly.

The person sitting in front of him was clearly Li Qingyan, but he always thought of Jiang Yu.

It’s all because of that incident. The shock was too great.

Li Qingyan was a little surprised: "But I even asked Wang Zhiyao specifically, and he said you like sweets."

Yu Shu almost had the word "speechless" carved on his forehead.

He told Wang Zhiyao that he liked to eat sweets. That was because Wang Zhiyao was very polite and bought a lot of small cakes when he came to his house for Mid-Autumn Festival. He was embarrassed to embarrass Wang Zhiyao, so he casually said that he liked to eat sweets.

Yu Shu had the impression that Li Qingyan and Wang Zhiyao were just people who would nod and exchange pleasantries when they met, but it was quite surprising that Li Qingyan went to Wang Zhiyao to ask something.

"I've been eating too much lately and I like light food." In order to hide his embarrassment, Yu Shu calmly gave a very logical reason.

"All right."

Yu Shu took a sip of juice and his brows immediately frowned.

The sour one is actually lemonade.

"That cup is mine..." Li Qingyan blinked.

"Uh, sorry."

Li Qingyan was touched by Yu Shu's cute behavior. He tilted his head slightly and smiled, "It's okay. Besides, it was my fault for not bringing it to you in time."

Yu Shu waved for the waiter to come over. He slowed down his tone and said politely, "Another glass of lemonade, please."

"No need to be so troublesome." Li Qingyan stopped the waiter from placing the order, picked up the lemonade that Yu Shu had drunk and put it to his lips. When the edge of the cup was about to touch his lips, he deliberately turned the cup and put his mouth to the place where Yu Shu had touched it.

Yu Shu still had some doubts before going to the appointment, but the scene in front of him penetrated his eyes without missing a frame, completely clearing away the fog and revealing the answer.

His brain short-circuited and he couldn't form any words for a moment, so he could only let his lips open.

"Why do you have that expression?" Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yu Shu's throat tightened and he finally squeezed out the words: "Are you serious?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Li Qingyan put his hand on the back of Yu Shu's hand, and Yu Shu quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Yu Shu pinched his cheek, the pain spreading from his facial muscles to his temples, and he couldn't help but hiss. He looked into Li Qingyan's eyes, which were filled with emotion, and read sincerity and longing. But at the same time, his mind was still on Jiang Yu's face, covered in sweat, and his chest and abdominal muscles, gleaming with moonlight stains.

He shook his head violently, determined to throw Jiang Yu out of his mind.

Li Qingyan's eyes were filled with doting. He couldn't really explain why he liked Yu Shu, he just wanted to get closer to her out of instinct.

He frequently messages Yu Shu on WeChat, sharing random little videos and gadgets. On social media, Yu Shu seems a bit aloof, their chats sporadic, but in real life, Yu Shu is easy to talk to, with a naive cuteness that belies his age and smooth interpersonal skills.

"Why me?" Yu Shu asked without any skill, without any adult hesitation, as if a child was asking an adult why he was chosen to do something.

"There's no reason for this kind of thing. Sometimes it's just a look or a word, or it could be the attraction of a magnetic field." Li Qingyan's eyes were burning.

Yu Shu lowered his head slightly and then raised it again, but he didn't want to meet Li Qingyan's gaze directly: "I mean, the two of us..."

Although he had seen all kinds of people in the hospital and heard all kinds of ridiculous gossip, he was still very traditional and could not accept two men. Because of this, it was difficult for him to get over the excitement of having sex with Jiang Yu.

"What's wrong with us? We just live our own lives and don't steal or rob. Why do we care what others think?" Li Qingyan looked at Yu Shu sincerely. "Don't be so quick to refuse. Let's start as friends and get to know each other slowly. How about that?"

"still……"

"Not very good."

Jiang Yu interrupted Yu Shu's response, his eyes became glacial, and he walked straight over to pull the man up.

He asked Yu Huan, so he knew that Yu Shu was going to meet Li Qingyan here and was waiting for them here in advance, but he didn't expect Li Qingyan to be so straightforward.

From the moment Li Qingyan took the cup and drank directly from it, he became a little restless.

Li Qingyan wanted Yu Shu to express his opinion, but he finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran out to disrupt the situation.

Yu Shu frowned, glanced at Jiang Yu, then looked away, and at the same time shook off Jiang Yu's hand.

The corner of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Yu Shu to react so strongly. He felt depressed and bitter in his heart.

"Enough is enough. I still like girls. Let's drop the topic here." Yu Shu controlled his voice, fearing that people around him would hear.

But his tone was firm, not only for Li Qingyan to hear, but also for Jiang Yu who was disturbing his mind.

Yu Shu said that and turned away, leaving Jiang Yu and Li Qingyan exchanging glances.

"You two aren't that close." Li Qingyan crossed his legs, glanced at Jiang Yu from bottom to top, and sneered in a mean way.

Li Qingyan knew that Yu Shu and Jiang Yu were arguing quite unexpectedly. They were like conjoined twins. If you saw one of them, there would always be the other within three feet. Moreover, he had seen them coming out of the Beijing Hotel one after the other some time ago.

"Don't send messages to Yu Shu unless necessary in the future." Jiang Yu's eyes flashed with coldness, warning Li Qingyan to control his mouth and fingers and not to provoke people he shouldn't.

Li Qingyan respected Jiang Yu's ability and character, but that didn't mean he was afraid of him. Moreover, for them, pleasing Yu Shu was now fair competition.

"What you said, he didn't say that he couldn't let me send it, it all depends on my ability." Li Qingyan provoked again.

Jiang Yu didn't respond. Instead of wasting time arguing with irrelevant people, he turned around and chased Yu Shu.

He disappeared calmly from Li Qingyan's sight, turned a corner after leaving the western restaurant, and immediately accelerated.

"I'll take you home." Jiang Yu's breathing was a little rapid.

Yu Shu didn't drive here. He was waiting for the online taxi he had just booked. When he heard Jiang Yu's voice, his body stiffened again. Since he met Jiang Yu, the wrinkles between his brows had hardly disappeared.

"The car is almost here." Yu Shu took a few steps back and put some distance between himself and Jiang Yu.

He was a straight man, and the emotional blow he suffered from being raped by Jiang Yu was the most difficult scar to heal. Call him hypocritical or making a big deal out of nothing, he simply hadn't recovered enough to be close to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu looked at Yu Shu's evasive movements, and his heart felt sour and painful, as if a hammer wrapped in cotton was hitting his chest. He couldn't hear the sound, but the dull pain and sourness went straight into his heart.

"It can't be cancelled yet." Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and spoke forcefully.

Yu Shu lowered his head and wiped his nose, his tone very cold: "I know, I don't want to cancel, and I don't want to get in your car. Do you have to make it so clear before you feel comfortable?"

Jiang Yu was stunned, and his outstretched hand was stuck in mid-air. He withdrew it angrily after a few seconds.

Yu Shu had never spoken to him like this before. He had always been gentle and tolerant. But the Yu Shu in front of him seemed like a different person and completely pushed him away.

"If this happened to you, you wouldn't feel good either."

Yu Shu let out a long sigh and looked up at the dark blue sky, which was devoid of stars or moon. At this moment, he wished that a star could twinkle and guide him.

Jiang Yu clenched his fists. He knew what Yu Shu meant by "happening to you".

"I can be down there if you want."

Yu Shu's breathing stagnated, and he turned around and gave Jiang Yu an angry look, as if questioning him: How can you say such things?

"What I care about is not who is on top or bottom, what I care about is that I can't accept it right now." Yu Shu lowered his eyes, no longer paying any attention to Jiang Yu, his words full of helplessness and discomfort.

Jiang Yu was speechless.

The wind blew up Yu Shu's clothes, as if it would blow him away if it was any stronger. Jiang Yu unconsciously raised his hand to grab it.

Li Qingyan also came out at this time. Seeing Yu Shu still beaming with joy, he didn't sense Yu Shu's bad mood at all. "I thought you had already left. I didn't even have time to send you off. Can I take you back now?"

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu sarcastically.

"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness, but please leave me some peace and quiet." Yu Shu's attitude towards Li Qingyan softened a lot.

Although Li Qingyan was rejected, he was an eavesdropper nearby and heard Yu Shu's cold and harsh rejection of Jiang Yu. Although Yu Shu had slept with Jiang Yu before, which gave him a lot of respect, the change in Yu Shu's attitude towards him gave him a lot of satisfaction.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu as if declaring victory.

Jiang Yu glared back.

The online-hailing car arrived and stopped in front of Yu Shu. He just didn't have the heart to watch the two kids' childish competition, so he opened the car door and got into the back seat.

By the time Jiang Yu reacted, the car door had been locked from the inside.

Through the car window, Yu Shu's face was covered with a layer of dejected gray, and the sorrow between his brows was so thick that it almost became tangible. The bright lights along the way could not illuminate him at all.

"Shameless." Jiang Yu snorted coldly and harshly, his pupils filled with contempt.

Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows: "Look at your own reasons. What did you do to make Yu Shu angry? Besides, I didn't do anything. Don't get angry when you can't win the argument."

Jiang Yu sneered fiercely and said, "It's not your place to meddle in our affairs."

Yu Shu dragged his tired body back home. As soon as he reached the floor and got out of the elevator, he saw a man in work clothes at the door.

"You're back." It was the ghost of the construction worker in the hospital.

Yu Shu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had ignored it because he didn't harm anyone.

After returning from the scenic area, he basically stayed in his bedroom all day, only going out to eat or go to the toilet. There were magic circles and talismans set up by Jiang Yu in the house, so he really didn't detect the presence of the construction workers.

Thinking of Jiang Yu's arm at home, Yu Shu couldn't help but think of the few pairs of underwear Jiang Yu had worn in the closet. He smiled to himself in a low voice.

"What are you doing here?"

"Wait until you get home."

Yu Shu frowned. There is a difference between humans and ghosts, and they are not familiar with each other yet. Why should they wait for him to come home?

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"No, I was just waiting for you to come home and protect your home." The construction worker wiped his clean and tidy face habitually.

With Jiang Yu and Li Qingyan as two living examples, Yu Shu couldn't help but wonder if the construction workers had any strange ideas.

He tried his best to control his facial muscles and not show disgust: "No need."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shu opened the door and went in, then slammed the door shut, leaving the construction worker standing there in a daze.

"Brother, you're back~" Yu Huan brought a bowl of freshly stewed soup to Yu Shu.

"Brother Yu Shu, good evening." Wang Zhiyao raised his eyes from the soup bowl and greeted him sweetly with a smile.

Yu Shu didn't want to bring his emotions to his two younger brothers, so he smiled gently: "Hmm, what kind of soup, it smells so good."
