[The Past]

Tye Zhang lies on Cole Wu's chest and has his hands move about recklessly. He smiles wickedly and says: "I want to eat little cherries. Can you feed me with them?"

"...I, I'm going out to buy them for you."

Just as Cole Wu is about to stand up and leave, he is stopped by Tye Zhang's hands and has to sit down again. This time, he is even more close to Tye Zhang's body.

"There's no need to go out. You have them on your body."

He gets close to Cole Wu and smells the fragrant of the soap all over his body. He is totally indulged in it.

"..." Cole Wu didn't realize what Tye Zhang truly meant until now. His face blushes. He still looks cold, but there's tenderness and sweetness in his eyes.

"Don't break it with your teeth."

After saying this, he feels so ashamed that he covers his face with his hands.

On hearing what Cole Wu said, Tye Zhang is like being encouraged in some way. He answers: "Oh." Then he clenches Cole Wu's clothes and smiles with satisfaction: "Okay. I'll be very gentle."

Both Cole Wu and Tye Zhang keep mum about what happened before--Cole Wu refused Tye Zhang firmly. This seems to have become a tacit agreement between them.

They are doing more and more things that cross the line.

But they just won't break through the last line of defense.

Tye Zhang feels unsatisfied and hasn't enjoyed himself to the full, but...after seeing how staunch Cole Wu is, he doesn't dare to force him.

If he really has him fallen in love with him in the future, he won't be lacking chances to do it. Perhaps Cole Wu wouldn't let him touch him just because he is too conservative.

He needs time...Hmm, he'll wait.

Besides, if Cole Wu doesn't agree, then there's no need to build up a relationship between them.

They are not even fuck bodies. Therefore, they are naturally in no position to take control of the life of each other.

This would be fine. It's worry-saving and not troublesome!

It's good that they keep having this ambiguous relationship between them. In addition, he can satisfy his desire from time to time without taking any responsibility.

At least Cole Wu is clean and healthy compared with other people. He won't bring any disease to him.

"How are you doing in the head office? Are you doing alright?" Tye Zhang is sitting in the sofa and eating the sweet and delicious cantaloupe melon that Cole Wu cut for him.

"Not bad. Toy takes good care of Chaz and me. We have almost adapted to the working tempo in the head office."

Cole Wu sits a little away from Tye Zhang.

He is always careful when Chaz Wu is at home.

"...Humph." Chaz Wu holds the cushion, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong, Chaz?" On noticing Chaz Wu's reaction, Tye Zhang asks.

Cole Wu also looks at his younger brother curiously. He has no idea what happened to him. He wonders if he was bullied or has got into trouble?

Chaz Wu has his cheeks bulged and says with sulk: "Toy wants my brother to be his assistant...I want to do it. But there's only one vacancy for Toy's assistant. My brother and I cannot be his assistant at the same time."

Toy wants to have Cole be his assistant?

Tye Zhang is astonished!

He suddenly pulls a long face.

Cole Wu frowns. He asks: "When was that? How come I don't know?"

Chaz Wu rolls his eyes with anger at his brother Cole Wu. He thinks that Cole Wu must be acting dumb.

"Toy said this himself! I went to his office the other day...His assistant is on maternity leave, so he needs a temporary assistant for sure. I went to recommend myself. But...Toy said that he had asked you to be his assistant! But you are still pretending that you don't know about this. You are such a nuisance! You didn't tell me about such thing so that I made a fool of myself in front of Toy!"

Tye Zhang suddenly feels uncomfortable on hearing that Cole Wu is going to be Toy's assistant.

How come an intern who has just come is able to be qualified for such important position?

Toy definitely has an ulterior motive!

"Cole, you tell us." He looks at Cole Wu indifferently and acts as if he was interrogating him.

Cole Wu is still confused about what his brother just said. He really knows nothing about this!

Now looking at Tye Zhang, who's like interrogating a prisoner, he feels even more aggrieved.

"I really don't know." All his arguments end up in these words that sound not convincing at all.

Cole Wu always looks cold and stiff. Even if he tries hard to argue, there's not much change on his face. Others would only think that he's being stubborn and reluctant to admit it.

Chaz Wu feels extremely aggrieved. He thinks that his brother has changed. Cole Wu, in order to get close to Toy, can totally ignore his feelings.

Chaz Wu only thinks about himself. In his mind, his elder brother shall be good to him unconditionally and give everything that is good and he cares to him without reservation!

Including the opportunity to work by the side of Toy Zhang.

He believes that when his brother understands what he said, he will definitely go to find Toy and give up being the assistant of him!

Because, Cole Wu always cares about him. If he says that he is irritated, his brother will compromise.

In the past, it had always been like this.

He has got used to it and he thinks that his brother should always treat him like this.

Tye Zhang's attitude towards Cole Wu suddenly turns cold. He...He is being jealous.

And more importantly, he is worried.

He worries that Cole Wu will be attracted by Toy's charm!

In the Zhang's, Toy is almost as powerful as their father.

And his competence is unanimously acknowledged by the board of directors of the company of the Zhang's.

In front of Toy Zhang, he is always self-contemptuous, afraid and reverent.

That's also why he was unwilling to do as his father told and be an intern in the company of the Zhang's. Instead, he began to run a studio together with his friends and has dabbled in the entertainment industry, a fresh new business for the company of the Zhang's.

He wants to approve that he is also competent and he is no worse than Toy Zhang!

Cole Wu senses that Tye Zhang's attitude towards him has changed, so he feels upset.

Why...Why the person who treated him gently only a second ago, now with the one-sided story of his brother, can distrust him and disbelieve his arguments. Instead, he chooses to stand on his brother's side and treat him so harshly!

He is not reconciled at all.

He thinks that...he has been living too cowardly for all these years.

This feeling has become increasingly clear and terrifying especially recently.

He doesn't know how much longer he can bear with it, but it shouldn't be too long.

Then what will he do when he is unable to hold on?

Break out? Fall out?

Or...turn around and leave,

stay away from them and wish them happiness?

He doesn't know. He only feels really tired.

The next day, before going to work, he says lightly on the dining table:

"As for Toy asking me to be his assistance, I really don't know about this."

Chaz Wu rolls his eyes. He doesn't believe him. He sneers at him without thinking: "Give me a break! You don't know about such good thing? Toy said that he had talked to you already, so he asked me to drop it!"

"...Chaz, I'm your biological brother. His one sentence is equal to ten thousand of mine, is that so?" Cole Wu suddenly feels extremely painful in his heart.

Does he really know this younger brother in front of him?

Does his brother ignore how well he treated him in the past, or is it that he just doesn't care?

Tye Zhang coughs. Seeing that Cole Wu is bullied by Chaz Wu like this, he feels uncomfortable.

"Have your breakfast! Shut up!"

Chaz Wu is scared by Tye Zhang and he stops saying what he is going to retort.

Cole Wu looks at Tye Zhang who's now in a rage, but he doesn't know what he did this for.

Did he lose his temper for Chaz, or for him?

He hopes that it is the latter.
