[System's perspective:]

System: In the script, Ye Bufan is actually the one on the offensive?!

Master God: Don't you know there is a type of person who is into abstinence and dominance? They may look prim and proper, cold and aloof, but once on the bed, they become all sorts of wild and indulgent...

System: Fortunately, we are not writing explicit adult content novels (patting chest).

Extraordinary.

Xu Annan leaned in close to Ye Bufan's ear, his gaze fixed on Ye Bufan's lips. These lips had just innocently kissed another boy—although it wasn't a real kiss, it unintentionally revealed something.

The boy was not wearing his own clothes today. From this angle, the slightly loose white shirt revealed the boy's fair clavicle, without any suggestive trace that might provoke wild imagination. Xu Annan withdrew his gaze, only to find the boy looking at him with an expression similar to "are you a pervert?".

Xu Annan: "......"

Cough cough. The manager felt a little embarrassed, but quickly regained a serious expression. He pulled the young man to the back of the crowd, especially after increasing the distance between them and Tao Lin. Then, he quietly asked, "Nofan, tell me the truth, are you..."

The young man looked back at him with clear eyes.

Xu Annan suddenly found it difficult to speak: "Is it...?"

After the encounter with the wealthy second generation and Zhang Jinyao, Qi Yefan realized that Yebufan had not followed them, so he stopped and turned around. He saw that the two of them were still engaged in conversation, so he went back.

Ye Bufan felt quite inexplicable: "What do you want to say, after all?"

Xu Annan opened her mouth and blurted out as the wealthy second generation approached Ye Bufan, "When are you going to return my bag?"

Ye Bufan: "......"

Tao Lin: "......"

Xu Annan was almost tempted to facepalm. "No, what I meant was, when are you...

Ye Bufan's expression remained neutral as he replied, "What can you do if I don't give it back to you?"

And then he left. Very domineering.

Xu Annan: "......"

Ye Bufan: "Xiao Tong, why are people so despicable?"

System: "Are you talking about yourself?"

Ye Bufan: "Xiao Tong, as your older brother, can you at least have some professional attitude like those in the service industry?"

System: "...Who are you talking about?"

Ye Bufan: "You see, before, I was accommodating to Xiaoxu in every way, but instead of increasing his liking for me, it decreased. Now that I'm treating him like this, not only has his liking for me not decreased, but he is also showing signs of wanting to speak up yet holding back and hesitating to refuse but still welcoming me."

System: "......"

Ye Bufan: "(╮(╯▽╰)╭ Sigh, I'm just so suited for being aloof and cold."

System: "Hehe, as long as you're happy."

"Mr. Xu, are you worried that I have unconventional rules?"

As Xu An Nan looked at the smiling and squinting rich second generation, a phrase flashed through her mind: "Not belonging to the same family does not enter the same door." With these two peculiar individuals, it's no wonder they ended up together.

"If it's only this, Mr. Xu can rest assured. Although I have an extraordinary liking for him, I won't force myself onto him. " Tao Lin said affectionately, "I will use my sincerity to move him."

Xu Annan: "......" Let me vomit first.

Tao Lin suddenly remembered something and looked at his manager seriously, with a hint of caution in his eyes. He asked, "Mr. Xu wouldn't... be jealous, right?"

Xu Annan: WTF?!

"Mr. Xu, you have so many artists under your command. In theory, you should have given up on this kind of situation a long time ago. But not only did you not do that, you even let Xiaofan live in your house and take care of him. If it wasn't because you have some interest in Xiaofan, I really couldn't understand it."

Xu Anan's face was filled with disbelief, I can't comprehend your bizarre logic at all!

Mr. Tao, you seem to be... thinking too much. " Xu An Nan nearly gritted her teeth as she explained, "Taking care of Mr. Uncommon is solely my professional responsibility, without any personal... personal feelings." By the end of her words, Xu An Nan also seemed a little confused, her tone not as certain as before, carrying a hint of bewildered murmur.

Tao Lin seemed unaware of Xu Annan's hesitation, and was very pleased: "That's great then! Being so outstanding, it must be quite a lot of pressure for anyone who pursues you."

Xu Annan: Can't you tell at all?

Tao Lin: "Of course, I feel that Mr. Xu probably likes those slightly more delicate and obedient boys who won't cause too much worry—-"

Xu Annan: "..."

The rich second generation's eyes lit up: "Right, just like that Lu Yu! Mr. Xu should like boys like him."

At that very moment, Ye Bufan and Lu Yu pushed open the door and entered, the last sentence falling completely into their ears.

Ye Bufan remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard anything, looking at Tao Lin. He said, "Hey, are you leaving or not?"

Tao Lin stood up eagerly and said, "Let's go, together." Then he bid farewell to Xu Annan, saying, "Mr. Xu, goodbye and good luck." The last three words he uttered were extremely unusual and carried a profound meaning.

In the end, only Lu Yu and he remained, staring at each other in confusion.

Xu Anan: Am I not straight?!
