The last time Song Yuanxi offended someone, it was because his reaction to being harassed was too blunt and his speech wasn’t tactful enough, which made it impossible to stage a graceful exit and turned the scene upside down.
In the end, the other party couldn’t get what they wanted and lost face, which led them to hate him and decide to thoroughly blackball him.
Now, he intended to give up on Shen Yu as a target, but in Shen Yu’s presence, he didn’t dare act as he had before. He couldn’t speak the truth and offend Shen Yu, or his situation would become even worse.
Showing a regretful expression, Song Yuanxi turned to head outside, hoping to take the opportunity to escape. He planned to simply say he felt unwell later and leave the club.
But to his surprise, Shen Yu glanced at him and actually stood up, saying, “I’ll accompany you.”
Song Yuanxi: “…”
Song Yuanxi looked at Shen Yu. Shen Yu smiled at him, showing concern: “You look a bit pale; it’s worrying to let you go alone. I’ll go with you.”
This attitude actually carried a tone that brooked no refusal.
“…”
Everyone else in the private room laughed, especially Chang Yu: “Teacher Shen is truly considerate and attentive. Little friend, you’d better seize this opportunity.”
Song Yuanxi lowered his head, didn’t smile, and turned around.
With Shen Yu following him, it would be hard to escape; he would likely have to offend the man after all.
Looking at him, a smear of a smile also touched the corners of Shen Yu’s mouth.
At a glance, this boy looked inexperienced a first-timer. That’s why he got shy after just a casual flirtation; when people get nervous, they want to use the restroom, which Shen Yu understood well.
However, he was always very patient with prey he had set his sights on. Given his talent and looks, no one ever refused him; sooner or later, the boy would be in the palm of his hand.
This young boy was naturally the same to him.
So, for now, he was very patient and acted very considerately.
“…”
Once Song Yuanxi stepped out of the door, his mind was focused entirely on how to shake off Shen Yu so he could leave the club.
But he hadn’t expected Shen Yu to follow him so pleasantly, accompanying him toward the restroom.
“I’ll wait for you at the door. Be careful, call me if you need anything.”
Shen Yu was even thoughtful enough not to go inside with him, likely fearing he would be embarrassed, or perhaps wanting to appear more polite to show he wasn’t impatient or a lecher.
He actually just stood at the door in a waiting posture.
The expression he directed at Song Yuanxi was very gentle, even carrying a smile.
To an outsider, they might even think this was his boyfriend, being so attentive.
This left Song Yuanxi momentarily unable to find a reasonable excuse to send him away. He could only force out the words: “I’ve taken up your time.”
Shen Yu merely smiled: “It’s nothing; it’s only right.”
Song Yuanxi: “…”
Given Shen Yu’s stance, even if he said he was sick, the man would probably follow him all the way to the hospital.
Anyone else who liked men would probably be thrilled to be noticed by such a person.
Song Yuanxi, however, felt utterly disgusted. He pursed his lips, biting down on one side of his mouth, unable to even squeeze out a smile.
After all, he hadn’t been able to stop himself from cursing last time; it was already good enough that he wasn’t making a sour face this time.
The moment he turned to walk into the restroom, he thought to himself: if it really didn’t work, he would just have to offend Shen Yu and force his way out.
Otherwise, based on Shen Yu’s attitude, the man would definitely try to take advantage of him once they returned to the room.
He didn’t believe that someone who was clearly a veteran in this club would truly be a gentleman; this current thoughtfulness was merely bait to lure the enemy.
Shen Yu truly took him for someone who had come to trade his body for resources.
Perhaps because he was so deeply immersed in these thoughts, as he turned the corner into the restroom entrance, he didn’t notice the situation and bumped headlong into someone.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
His nose throbbed with a sour pain, and tears almost sprang to his eyes.
Returning to his senses, he covered his nose and hastily stepped aside. While apologizing, he looked up and met the gaze of the person he had bumped into.
Song Yuanxi’s gaze froze: “…”
He hadn’t expected to run into Liang Han here.
Although he had heard in the private room that someone was treating Liang Han to dinner here tonight, he hadn’t expected to encounter him at this exact moment upon stepping out.
This was the first time he had seen Liang Han in person, and at such close range, it felt very different from seeing him on TV or a phone screen.
Even though he had just spoken with Shen Yu at close range, Song Yuanxi couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
Liang Han was indeed Liang Han. He was truly too good-looking his features were sharp, handsome, and charming, his brow and eyes full of spirit, highlighting his masculinity.
At first glance, he was just like the descriptions of him online; he truly was a “hard man” full of masculine flavor.
In particular, he was really tall, taller than Shen Yu and taller than Song Yuanxi, at least ten centimeters taller than him.
His build was upright and sturdy; one could tell at a glance that he didn’t lack muscle.
No wonder the impact felt wrong just now it turned out he had bumped into Liang Han’s chest. The pectoral muscles were quite firm, feeling that hard even through clothing.
Covering his aching nose, Song Yuanxi couldn’t help but feel a trace of envy. If he looked like this, he probably wouldn’t be targeted by those old geezers.
Because he was sturdy and strong enough and not in an over-bulked gym style it wasn’t easy for men to target him.
In fact, those people might even worry about being targeted by him.
Song Yuanxi stared at Liang Han, his gaze sweeping over the man’s chest muscles far too obviously.
This caused the scrutinized Liang Han to frown.
“…”
The last time he was harassed, it was like this: after refusing someone in a private room, he was cornered in the restroom.
Initially, the manager had tried to introduce a girl to him in front of the whole table. Seeing him refuse, the manager arranged for a boy and proudly stated, “We have every kind of service here.”
That boy was very bold. After being refused, seeing Liang Han go to the restroom, he quietly followed and insisted on “helping” him with his hands, repeatedly saying, “Teacher Liang Han, my technique is very good, trust me.”
That behavior was so reckless it directly startled Liang Han; he had zipped up his pants and retreated several steps on the spot.
He even had a heavy psychological shadow for a period afterward; upon returning home, he would lock the door even when using the toilet in his private residence.
After all, he was a straight man and couldn’t stand this kind of “gay-ish” behavior.
He also had some psychological trauma regarding this club, especially this restroom. Although a long time had passed, he was still on guard when he entered just now.
Only after being in the club for half the day without any incidents, no problems upon entering the restroom and nothing wrong while washing his hands did he slightly relax his guard.
He hadn’t expected that just as he finished washing his hands and came out, he would turn a corner and be bumped into.
As if the person had no eyes, they walked straight into his arms; it was hard not to suspect it was intentional.
Liang Han couldn’t help but feel annoyed by this. This club hadn’t changed at all; he had relaxed his guard too early.
With cold eyes, he was about to look up and give a stern, cold refusal to cut off this person’s hopes.
But upon seeing the person, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, slightly raising an eyebrow.
The boy staring at him without blinking was very delicate and pretty.
One could even say the boy’s looks were very sweet and lovely.
Liang Han didn’t know why, but these adjectives that weren’t usually suitable for a boy suddenly popped into his head.
Despite the boy covering his nose with his fingers, his eyes and face shape were perfect, and his exposed fingers were slender and fair prettier than any of the men or women who had tried to harass him before, or rather, more to his taste.
A thought inexplicably popped into Liang Han’s mind: A face like this certainly fit his image of the “Little Prince” better than the Song Yuanxi mentioned by Shao Dong; truly like a pearl or a jade.
It was just that the clothes this person wore were really improper. That shirt didn’t look like it fit, and the neckline was low, revealing a large area of fair chest where red marks from being constricted by shoulder straps were visible.
How could a boy’s skin be so white? His collarbones were so delicate, and not a trace of muscle could be seen on his chest.
He was raised far too daintily and weakly.
Even if he were a piece of jade, he must be the most precious and fragile kind.
It might also be because he looked so dainty that he had come here to do this kind of work, wanting to take a crooked path or a shortcut to a good life.
Furthermore, the way he was staring dazed at him right now was just like someone who wanted to cling to him and hold his legs while shouting “sugar daddy.”
There was no difference from those who wanted to entwine themselves with him in the past, except that he was excessively good-looking.
Indeed, he was a bit too pretty.
It even caused his heartbeat to quicken and his lower abdomen to heat up.
“…”
Truly strange. He didn’t have a taste for the same sex; it must be because he hadn’t finished “relieving” himself just now and was holding it in.
Or perhaps he simply wasn’t busy enough with work lately, and his abundant energy hadn’t been vented.
Liang Han quickly collected his thoughts and suppressed the strange notions.
Although this person’s looks fit the image of the Little Prince, he was certain that if he gave the other party a friendly face, the person would definitely take advantage of it and cling to him, surely causing endless trouble in the future.
He still shouldn’t associate himself with such a place.
“Be careful, watch out next time.”
With a slight nod, Liang Han brushed past Song Yuanxi with a cold face.
Song Yuanxi blinked and came to his senses.
Liang Han’s reaction just now was clearly one of distaste.
He didn’t know if Liang Han had recognized him; after all, Liang Han wasn’t there when he went for the audition.
But the man might have seen his photo.
So, the reason for Liang Han’s distaste toward him at this moment couldn’t be determined for certain.
It might be because the company had smeared him, or it might be…
Song Yuanxi looked down at his clothes; Liang Han might also think he was the kind of high-end service worker who came to hook up with people.
Perhaps he didn’t like this kind of “delivered-to-the-door” service, which was why he looked disgusted.
But regardless of the reason, the opportunity was rare.
Just now in the room, he was regretting not knowing which room Liang Han was in and thinking about going to see him.
Now that he had actually met him face-to-face, how could he miss such a good chance?
A thought flickered in Song Yuanxi’s mind, and he hurriedly reached out to try and stop him: “Teacher Liang Han!”
Liang Han frowned, thinking, here it comes, and couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
But Song Yuanxi didn’t want to let this chance go. He chased after him, boldly grabbing Liang Han’s arm and whispering: “Teacher Liang Han, can I ask you for help? A guest has set his eyes on me, but I just wanted to come part-time to earn some wages. He’s waiting for me at the door right now…”
He didn’t directly state his goal of finding a boss, mainly because he was influenced by Shen Yu.
The outside world said Shen Yu was very good; Xu Rao was in the same crew as him and hadn’t even discovered he liked men.
Liang Han was also spoken of highly; whether that was true in private wasn’t certain.
Although he looked like he hated being touched by Song Yuanxi, perhaps he just didn’t like this kind of place and thought it was unclean.
So, he still had to test him and confirm.
As for Shen Yu outside, he couldn’t worry about him anymore; he was going to offend him anyway.
He might as well take the opportunity to use him as an excuse to test Liang Han.
However, these words were all too familiar to Liang Han. Everyone who tried to cling to him, upon discovering that a direct confession was easily rejected, would try various ways to get close to him.
The most common was asking for help, acting like a frail “little white flower” and claiming they were being bullied.
They probably thought he was also the kind of “great philanthropist” who liked to play the hero and pity the poor and weak.
Liang Han turned back to stare at Song Yuanxi, his gaze scanning the boy’s face. Earlier, he had been dazzled by the skin on the chest and hadn’t looked closely at the face, which was half-blocked by the boy’s hand. This time, he looked more carefully.
The face was small, the lines soft and it could be covered by a single palm. It was very white.
The eyes were quite large, the pupils very dark; the gaze staring at him was pitch black yet very clear, though the edges were red, as if he had just cried.
The bridge of the nose was straight, and the tip was rounded and red, showing a youthful appearance.
The lips were slightly pursed, their color rosy and the corners slightly upturned.
He indeed looked like a frail little white flower, a style that was very pity-inducing.
Pity that no matter how good-looking he was, it didn’t matter he was a man.
“…”
Furthermore, he wasn’t the kind of brainless animal driven by his lower body; he wouldn’t be easily misled by beauty.
Liang Han steadied his breathing and said in a deep voice: “If someone is forcing you to do something you’re unwilling to do, I suggest you call the police. Finding me is useless.”
Song Yuanxi froze, never expecting Liang Han to say such a thing.
Liang Han took advantage of this moment of daze to pull his arm away.
He turned to leave, but after a few seconds of silence, he turned back and said: “You’re good-looking; you can go do some decent work. Don’t go astray here.”
Before Song Yuanxi could recover, as if fearing being chased and pestered again, Liang Han walked quickly and left the restroom.
