Chapter 7

Lin Liang’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His eyes shifted to Ye Muyang, and in the next second he started slapping himself, tears coming on cue. “I screwed up. I couldn’t resist temptation. You know I’m not that kind of person—if someone hadn’t deliberately seduced me, how could I have done something like this?”
Seduced?
Ye Muyang was a little stunned.
Lin Liang had moved in only a month ago to live with Fan Jia, claiming he’d been transferred and hadn’t found a place to stay yet.
Worried Ye Muyang would mind, Fan Jia had talked to him in advance, saying her boyfriend wouldn’t be staying long.
Because their schedules were different, they rarely ended up in the same space, so Ye Muyang had accepted it readily.
He and Lin Liang barely ran into each other, and they hadn’t exchanged a single word, so Lin Liang’s desperate attempt to excuse himself now sounded ridiculous to Ye Muyang.
“You’re saying he seduced you?” Fan Jia pointed at Ye Muyang.
“Yes—him,” Lin Liang said through clenched teeth. “A grown man, wearing women’s skirts and stockings, parading around in front of me. If that wasn’t intentional, what was it?”
“And—and the night before last, I came out of the bathroom and he was waiting at the door. Then he smiled at me and winked. Wife, this sick pervert did it on purpose. I really— I really just acted on impulse. I got carried away. I didn’t mean to betray you.”
“…,” Ye Muyang replied evenly. “Or is it possible I was also going to the bathroom? And who winked at you?”
Fan Jia lived in the master bedroom, which originally had its own bathroom. But two nights ago, their toilet clogged. With no repairman coming in the middle of the night, they naturally could only use the shared bathroom.
That night, Ye Muyang went out to use the bathroom and ran right into Lin Liang. Out of politeness, he smiled—just a greeting. He hadn’t expected Lin Liang to imagine so much.
Hearing that, Fan Jia was so furious she laughed instead. She grabbed Lin Liang by the collar and dragged him in front of Ye Muyang. “Look at you—skinny as hell, and not even as tall as him. Even if he’s into men, you think he’d go for someone like you?”
“If there’s no mirror at home, do you at least not have piss?”
