Chapter 31: Yue Tingyun Enters the Blacklist
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao flopped onto the bed and picked up his phone absentmindedly.
Bored, he opened his social media feed, only to see a post from Yue Tingyun as soon as he entered.
[Yue Tingyun: What should I do when I make the little one angry?]
Lin Xiao pouted in annoyance. What did Yue Tingyun mean by this? He was really hitting his sore spot by repeatedly bringing up the matter. He deserved to be ignored!
Lin Xiao had already made up his mind. Since Yue Tingyun only wanted a casual relationship with him, he shouldn’t expect to see him again in the future.
Yue Tingyun was a second-generation rich kid, and being the lead singer of a band was just a hobby for him.
Before meeting Lin Xiao, he used to frequently go out with friends, party, and live carelessly.
Little did he expect that after sleeping with Lin Xiao, he would still try to take advantage of him. Hmph, Lin Xiao wasn’t the type to be tied down by any man he met.
He didn’t care for playboys like Yue Tingyun. He was also a second-generation rich kid, so why should he let Yue Tingyun boss him around? Dream on, Yue Tingyun!
Lin Xiao’s finger tapped on the phone screen, making a “da da” sound.
He had actually forgotten to block this guy. What a mistake.
Under Yue Tingyun’s latest post, Lin Xiao left a comment and then promptly blocked him.
[Lin Xiao: Oh, when did Young Master Yue fall to the level of having to deal with children?]
On the other side, Yue Tingyun watched helplessly as Lin Xiao left. He ordered a few drinks at the bar and drank alone.
Seeking solace in alcohol only deepened his sorrow.
Not only did Yue Tingyun not feel any better, but he also couldn’t shake off the image of Lin Xiao looking aggrieved before leaving.
Every time it crossed his mind, Yue Tingyun’s heart tightened a little.
Their relationship was fine before, wasn’t it?
He didn’t understand why Lin Xiao suddenly started giving him the cold shoulder. They had been harmonious during their time together, and he had diligently taken care of Lin Xiao afterward, hadn’t he?
Yue Tingyun, feeling frustrated, posted an update on his social media feed. But after posting, he found himself thinking about Lin Xiao more and more, frequently checking for replies to his post.
However, the comments left by his so-called friends were nothing but a jumble of nonsense.
[Friend A: Brother Yue, which little one caught your eye this time? If this one is angry, do you want me to find you another buddy?]
[Friend B: It’s okay if they’re angry, it must be because they’re not fed enough. Brother Yue, put in some effort to feed them properly, and I guarantee they won’t be angry anymore.]
[Friend C: What’s going on? Brother Yue, when did you suddenly have a child at home? Is it an illegitimate child?]
[Friend D: What? Brother Yue, are you enjoying fatherhood now?!]
Under this post, there were hardly any useful messages among the many comments, leaving Yue Tingyun feeling dizzy and almost fainting from anger. How come he hadn’t realized before that his friends were all like this? None of them were reliable in critical moments.
In the end, Yue Tingyun couldn’t resist and used someone else’s phone to call Lin Xiao.
Of course, he was mercilessly hung up on, with nothing but a busy tone ringing in his ears.
After being hung up on, Yue Tingyun left the bar and angrily punched the railing, leaving a slight dent in the stainless steel.
He smoked a cigarette before finally finding a designated driver to take him home.
In the car, Yue Tingyun intended to rest his eyes for a while, but every time he closed them, he couldn’t help but see Lin Xiao’s face in his mind.
Unable to muster the courage, Yue Tingyun reluctantly opened the conversation with Lin Xiao on his phone but hesitated to hit the send button. Perhaps he feared seeing a red exclamation mark or dreaded encountering hurtful words.
Instead, he clicked into his social media feed, intending to delete the previous post. However, to his surprise, Lin Xiao had replied.
Before Yue Tingyun could even feel relieved, his slightly lifted mood plummeted as he read Lin Xiao’s response.
Why was Lin Xiao causing a scene with him? Wasn’t their relationship fine before?
Frustrated, Yue Tingyun deleted the post and turned to venting his own frustrations on a forum where some comments were actually useful amid the unreliable chatter.

After Qi Yue finished showering and entered the room, he saw Lin Xiao lying on the bed, playing with his phone, his perky butt particularly prominent.
“What are you looking at? Still not sleeping?”
“Isn’t my treasure waiting for me~ Now that my treasure’s here, let’s sleep~”
Lin Xiao turned over, quickly slipping into one of the blankets. His eyes, peeking out, blinked at Qi Yue, his expression genuine.
Qi Yue chuckled and walked to the other side of the bed, covering Lin Xiao with a different blanket, then extinguished the light, whispering softly, “Time to sleep. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, my treasure~”
Lin Xiao turned on his side to face Qi Yue, closing his eyes obediently after saying goodnight.
In the darkness, the two of them looked unusually peaceful in their sleep.
However, when Lin Xiao woke up the next morning at six o’clock, he found himself alone in bed. At first, he thought he had overslept, but when he checked the time, it was indeed six in the morning.
Sensing something amiss, Lin Xiao glanced toward the direction where Qi Yue had slept the previous night.
Sure enough, Lin Xiao saw Qi Yue wrapped up like a burrito, sleeping on the carpet. It was almost a given that he had been kicked out of bed.
Lin Xiao felt a mix of amusement and guilt. Was he being too mean? In the end, he restrained himself and quietly tried to move Qi Yue back onto the bed.
But as soon as he touched Qi Yue, the latter opened his eyes.
For a moment, the two of them locked eyes, still on the carpet.
It was a bit awkward now…
“It wasn’t me!” Lin Xiao quickly interjected before Qi Yue could say anything, immediately distancing himself from the situation.
Qi Yue, still groggy from sleep, rubbed his eyes as he struggled to free himself from the blanket cocoon.
Realizing he was on the floor, he quickly got up, made the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes to sleep—all in one fluid motion, leaving Lin Xiao somewhat stunned.
But seeing Qi Yue continue to sleep, Lin Xiao felt the urge to sleep returning. He climbed back into bed and drifted off to sleep.
In the living room, Shen Kuozhi, who had only slept for three hours, stared at his dark circles while brewing a cup of black coffee for himself.
He stirred the freshly brewed coffee, casting a resentful glance at Qi Yue’s door.
There was no sound coming from there. Was he the only one suffering from insomnia?
Shen Kuozhi cleared his throat and began reading the morning paper in the living room.

*Bam!*
Yue Tingyun rolled over and fell off the bed.
He had returned home last night well past three in the morning and had only managed to sleep for about two hours before being rudely awakened by the fall.
After submitting his post to the anonymous forum, his phone had shut down completely.
Rubbing his hangover-induced headache, Yue Tingyun got up, plugged in his phone to charge, and was immediately bombarded with notifications.
After replying to a few important messages, he opened the anonymous forum.
To his surprise, the forum had recently replied to his private message, and his plea for help had been posted.
[Late Night Confession Tree V:
【Help Post】
I am male, attracted to males.
Recently, there’s been a cute boy pursuing me.
We met in a gay bar, and he looked so young that I initially thought he was underage sneaking in. I didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a passing fancy, but to my surprise, he’s been pursuing me for over two months now. It’s unbelievable.
He’s really adorable. Even when he pouts with his hands on his hips, there’s a cute charm about him as if he’s coaxing you.
He blushes when he approaches, has a cheerful and lively personality, is very caring, occasionally shows a bit of a temper, but it only makes him cuter.
Our relationship has been getting closer, and it culminated one day when I escorted him home, and we had a physical encounter.
After that, our interactions became even more intimate. I thought our feelings were growing stronger, but ever since I talked to him about it, he hasn’t been initiating contact as much. He doesn’t actively message me, and when I message him, he doesn’t reply much anymore.
Not long ago, he had a disagreement with me offline and completely blocked me.
Have I done something wrong? How can I make it up to him?
The conversation is pasted below:
We’re both adults now, and I don’t want him to feel obligated to be with me for the rest of his life because of this. So, I talked to him, let him think it over. Does he really want to be with me?
Yue Tingyun’s inner thoughts: I hope there’s some useful advice.
Throughout the morning, many netizens commented on this post from the anonymous forum.
[1st Comment: First! For the OP’s plea for help, all I can say is “reflect on yourself.” Stop blaming others for your mistakes. The cute guy is pursuing you, and you’re here pretending to be aloof? Seriously, if you like him, be together. If not, break up. What’s with all the dilly-dallying?]
[2nd Comment: Second commenter here. It seems like the OP likes the cute guy, otherwise, why post asking for advice on how to reconcile? But the OP is a bit clueless.]
[3rd Comment: u1s1, the OP’s last comment sounds like he’s walking away coldly after getting what he wanted. If the OP isn’t a jerk, I suggest having a proper conversation with the cute guy.]
[4th Comment: The OP is really clueless. The cute guy has been chasing after you for over two months, and even after you got physical, your relationship continued to develop. Isn’t that love? Listen to me, if you’re also interested, be together. If not, don’t go on about responsibility and commitment. That’s the most irresponsible thing to do.]
[5th Comment: The 4th commenter is right. OP, either stop messing around with the cute guy, or confess your feelings and be together.]
…
The comments from other netizens kept coming, and Yue Tingyun read most of them.
Some criticized him for being a jerk, some praised the cute guy for having integrity, some urged them to get together sooner, some advised them to break up, and some just watched from the sidelines.
Although the styles of the comments varied, Yue Tingyun selected a few that seemed more reliable and decided to put them into practice.
First and foremost, he needed to understand his own feelings.
What kind of feelings does he have towards Lin Xiao?
