Chapter 7

After lunch break, Yun Qi patted her full stomach contentedly and returned to her work post, pretending that she had just woken up.

Fortunately, I greeted my colleague next to me in a good mood.

Seeing Lu Yun walk out of the office, Yun Qi felt a pang of guilt and pursed her lips, not daring to look at him.

Lu Yun's gaze swept over Yun Qi, a smile playing on his lips. He licked his lips, as if savoring something.

He deliberately walked up to Yun Qi, frowned, and said with a troubled expression, "I didn't sleep very well just now."

Yun Qixin's heart skipped a beat, and her voice trembled as she spoke: "Maybe, maybe I had a nightmare."

Lu Yun touched his lips, looking troubled: "Maybe so. I think I dreamt that someone leaned on my lips and sucked something."

"But it must be a dream. How could such a creature exist in the world? Don't you think so, Yunqi?"

Looking at Lu Yun's eyes, Yun Qi always felt that he was intentionally or unintentionally pointing at her.

This made Yun Qixin even more flustered, and he gave an awkward laugh: "Yes, yes."

Lu Yun looked at the barely concealed panic on his face, smiled slightly, and muttered as he left, "But that feeling was quite strange."

Yun Qi didn't dare to reply.

While at work, Yun Qi also felt Lu Yun's gaze frequently sweeping over her, scanning her up and down with an almost overflowing interest in his eyes, as if he were looking at a delicious cake.

Yun Qi felt uncomfortable and adjusted his position, but the burning gaze from behind was searing his back.

This is uncomfortable whether you look at it from the front or the back.

Yun Qi had barely made it to the end of the workday and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when Lu Yun walked up to him, smiling, and said, "Want to come together?"

Yun Qi paused in his packing. He had originally thought that after tasting Lu Yun's flavor, he would be able to calm down for a while, or that Lu Yun would no longer be so attractive to him.

But to his utter surprise, this appetizer completely whetted his appetite. Now, whenever Lu Yun is by his side, he can't help but drool. Hunger is like a tidal wave, engulfing and overwhelming him.

Yun Qi tried hard to keep her eyes from looking at Lu Yun, her voice hoarse: "No."

"I'm not going home later."

In order not to go back with Lu Yun, Yun Qi could only make up an excuse for herself and say that she would not go home.

Judging from the expression on his face, Lu Yun could guess a thing or two, and pressed, "Where are you going if you're not going home? Do you have plans?"

Yun Qi stammered and couldn't get the words out.

It was rush hour, and many people slowed down when they saw Yun Qi still there and Lu Yun still talking. They all wanted to hear what Lu Yun and Yun Qi were saying.

Noticing the gazes of those around her, and glancing at Lu Yun who was blocking her way, Yun Qi steeled her resolve and said, "Yes, I made plans to go out for dinner with a friend tonight, so I'll be going back a little later."

Lu Yun nodded, his expression calm as ever: "I see. Do you need me to take you there?"

Yun Qi shook her head repeatedly and walked away quickly: "No need to trouble President Lu, I can manage on my own."

Lu Yun didn't press any further. He watched Yun Qi walk away quickly until his figure disappeared from sight, and the smile on his face slowly faded, leaving him expressionless.

Even a fool could tell that Yun Qi was avoiding him. Was it because of what happened at noon today?

Lu Yun put aside his thoughts and left as well.

Yun Qi, who had no idea where to go, fell into deep thought. Now, because of his recklessness at noon, he couldn't go home. What was he going to do?

Yun Qi sighed. He should have controlled himself at noon today and not been attracted by Lu Yun's yang energy. But then he thought, how could he possibly control himself in this situation?

He shouldn't let things escalate to the point of no return; perhaps he should try finding a partner.

Yun Qi looked up the most popular gay bars in the city. On the way, he was still wondering if Lu Yun had any feelings for him.

What's said online seems both real and unrealistic; everyone has their own opinion. Yun Qi doesn't dare to take the initiative because of her identity.

If he can't find someone else to distract him, he'll eventually do something indelible to Lu Yun.

He got off work at five o'clock, but the traffic was terrible. By the time Yun Qi arrived at the gay bar, it was already past six o'clock, and he was almost falling asleep in the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, the mixed smells of the gay bar hit him, almost making Yun Qi vomit. He stood at the door, looking at the flashing lights inside. The unpleasant smell entered his nostrils, like the stench of leather that had been exposed to the sun and then stuffed into a sealed space. Yun Qi took a deep breath, held back, and took a step closer. His face turned a few shades paler.

His hesitation at the doorway naturally attracted a lot of attention. With such a physique, he could easily be perceived as someone in a superior position, especially with such a good build.

A scantily clad boy with pink hair and two or three earrings walked out. He had makeup on, and his pink eyeshadow shimmered in the light. He walked up to Yun Qi and smiled, saying, "Why don't you come in?"

As soon as the boy approached, Yun Qi smelled his pungent perfume and masculine scent mixed together, which made her unable to bear the shock any longer. She covered her mouth and gagged, startling the boy.

"Hey! What do you mean? You think I smell bad? I'm wearing Chanel perfume today!"

Yun Qi waved his hand, gagging as he said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to disgust you, ugh!"

The boy rolled his eyes and said, "You're crazy." He then swayed away and walked away.

Yun Qi ran far away from the bar. He really couldn't stand the smell for even a second longer; it was too stinky. He leaned against the wall and gagged a few more times, his face pale and bloodless.

After a while, Yun Qi finally calmed his breathing. Looking at the brightly lit place, a sense of fear rose from the bottom of his heart. It was too terrifying, a succubus's hell.

Let's go back and smell Lu Yun's scent. Although we can't eat him, he still smells good. After this incident, Yun Qi realized that Lu Yun's scent is still the best.

"Sigh..." he sighed, "This is it, what are we going to do?"

Yun Qi, with a bitter face, took out his phone and started typing, then hailed a taxi back.

When Yun Qi got home, it was already 9:30. After a busy night, she hadn't gotten anything. She came home smelling bad and was too tired to even take a shower. She lay on the sofa, closed her eyes, and sighed.

What should we do?

He took out his phone and dialed a number for his family. After a few rings, someone answered: "Hello? Dad! Help me!"

On the other end of the phone, Yun's father asked, "What's wrong, son? You've run out of yang energy again? Let me tell you, the demon realm is cracking down on this these days, and I can't get my hands on any more. You'd better find a girlfriend soon."

Yun Qi sat on the sofa with drooping eyebrows and a somber voice: "I called because of this. Dad, why don't you introduce me to a few? I don't have any good ones here."

Upon hearing that Yun Qi wanted to go on a blind date, Yun's father immediately pushed away the man who was sucking his breasts in front of him: "Get lost, your son wants to go on a blind date!"

Father Yun looked up, his eyes still blurry: "What blind date? We haven't finished our business yet..."

Yun's father reached out and covered his mouth: "Wait a minute."

"Hey son, are you thinking of going on a blind date? Sure, your dad and I will arrange it for you right away, we'll definitely find you a great one!"

Yun Qi hummed in agreement a few times. Hearing the sounds coming from her father, she knew what they were doing. Her earlobes turned red, and she coughed softly, "Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll hang up now."

Yun Qi took her clothes to take a shower, leaving her phone on the sofa.

It kept ringing and clanging.

Lu Yun was in his room, opening the door every now and then to see if Yun Qi had returned. Time passed by, and it was already nine o'clock, but he still hadn't come back! Looking at the deepening night, Lu Yun's face became terribly dark.

Who did Yunqi go out to eat with? He hasn't come back for so long. Is he not planning to come back tonight?

Lu Yun couldn't sit still, so he got up and went to the door to take a look. This time he saw Yun Qi's shoes on the other side, and his heart was relieved. He was finally back.

He held his phone, pursed his lips, and stared intently at Yun Qi's screen, as if he were watching prey.

He really wanted to ask Yun Qi how her dinner was, who she ate with, and why she came back so late.

But he was also afraid of being too offensive. He wasn't anyone to Yun Qi anymore, and asking such a question might make him seem controlling. It wouldn't be good if Yun Qi disliked him because of this.

But he really wanted to know.

He pursed his lips, deep in thought.

Lu Yun: [Xiao Qi, are you back after dinner?]

Lu Yun: [Did you enjoy the food, Xiao Qi?]

Lu Yun: [Kitten carrying its tail and spinning in circles.GIF]

Lu Yun: [I didn't mean anything by asking this. It's late now, be careful on your way back. Do you need me to pick you up, Xiao Qi?]

After sending several messages without receiving a reply, Lu Yun became restless and kept looking towards the door. Why hadn't Xiao Qi replied?

Is she feeling unwell, or is it because there are other people around? But I don't see any shoes at the door... Did she take them off inside?

Yun Qi didn't reply to the message, and Lu Yun thought more and more, becoming increasingly anxious. He tightened his jaw and looked down. No, he had to go and check.

"Xiao Qi, are you home? Xiao Qi, are you back?"

"Xiao Qi? Xiao Qi? Open the door quickly, Xiao Qi, is something wrong?"

Lu Yun called out again and again, knocking harder and harder. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. What if there really was another person when he opened the door? What grounds could he use to stop Yun Qi from having a relationship with that person? What words could he use to make Yun Qi change her mind?

Lu Yun pursed his lips, his face turned cold, and his eyes stared darkly at the door. Was he too slow, or just too slow?

"Xiao Qi, open the door, Xiao Qi, I'm worried about you, Xiao Qi."

Lu Yun spoke again, just as Yun Qi had turned off the water. Upon hearing Lu Yun's voice, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Why is Lu Yun looking for him so late?

Wrapped in a bathrobe, Yun Qi went over and opened the door.
