Completely Captivated - Chapter 2

The Young Master did not reply until the next day.

【???】

At the time, I was painting in the studio.

We were in different majors. Gu Jilang studied finance.

As for me, I had only scraped my way into this prestigious university on the strength of my art exam scores.

The only reason we had ended up in the same dorm room was that Gu Jilang had submitted a request to our counselor in advance.

I hurriedly messaged him back.

【Hello! Judging from the videos on your page, they all feature another man. It pains me deeply to see you questioning your feelings for a close male friend. I can practically feel your confusion and helplessness as if I were living through it myself. Fortunately for you, you’ve met me.】

My words were heartfelt and sincere.

I typed ten times faster than I spoke. 【Is there anything I can do to help? I can analyze it for you! (smiling emoji)】

Gu the Poser: 【???】

【There’s a very pretty study companion around me. I feel like he’s always tempting me to do bad things to him.】

My face reddened. The Young Master actually thought I was pretty.

I thought he was unbelievably, incredibly good-looking too.

But beneath my happiness, I was still worried. 【Dear client, how long have you been experiencing these symptoms?】

Gu the Poser: 【He smells so good. I’ve wanted to devour him for a long time. I’ve been holding back for ages and ages.】

Devour him? Did it have to sound so bloody?

I replied, 【His body wash must smell too good. It’s gone to your head.】

Gu the Poser: 【But he’s so pale and tender. He feels so good to knead. He’d be perfect for tying up and playing with.】

???

Tying him up?

Then he really was doomed.

I grew extremely serious. 【It seems your condition is quite severe.】

【But don’t worry. Luckily, you don’t actually like men. Most likely, you have a slight gender-perception disorder.】

Gu the Poser: 【What makes you say that?】

【Imagine your good buddy naked. He might be even bigger than you. Scary, isn’t it?】

Gu the Poser: 【No. I’ve seen his. It’s tiny and cute.】

I pursed my lips, suddenly unhappy.

I changed the subject. 【Anyway, you might just be producing too much testosterone, making you temporarily ravenous and causing you to think your buddy looks delicious.】

The other side fell silent for a long time. Perhaps he thought I sounded unprofessional, because he suddenly challenged me. 【Do you really like men?】

I replied, 【Of course. I’ve been with at least five men.】

It took him quite a while to answer. 【Hah! Five?】

I assumed he thought that was too few and hurriedly added, 【Actually, it’s at least ten, but I’ve grown tired of it.】

【You certainly know how to have fun~ Have you ever kissed anyone else?】

I had kissed the Young Master on the cheek before, so I answered with confidence. 【Of course.】

Gu the Poser: 【Top or bottom?】

I did understand that much. I furtively glanced around the studio, my face burning at the thought of discussing something like this where I studied, and replied, 【Top.】

My phone vibrated. Another message popped up. 【So you’re very experienced. Ever considered being on the bottom?】

By this point, I felt as though I had completely forgotten my original purpose.

I had set out to disgust the Young Master. How had he steered our conversation so far off course?

Deeply troubled, I sent him a long list of disadvantages to liking men.

Then I ended my conversation with Gu Jilang.

I spent the whole morning distracted in class.

I had no classes that afternoon, so for once, I agreed to play basketball with some classmates.

By the time Gu Jilang arrived, I was drenched in sweat from the game.

I was tugging my collar away from my skin and asking a classmate I knew fairly well to smell me and check whether I reeked of sweat.

“D-do I stink?”

His expression twisted. He gave me a perfunctory sniff. The faint scent of laundry detergent rose from me as if steamed out by the heat.

He did not dare take a proper breath at all. Even his ears turned red. “You stink, you stink. Happy now?”

I was satisfied.

Before I could celebrate, I spotted Gu Jilang standing beside the court. I had no idea when he had arrived.

Gu Jilang was the new campus heartthrob. His appearance immediately caused an uproar.

My eyes lit up. “Gu Jilang!”

I sprinted over at once.

My face was flushed, and sweat poured from my hair.

I rushed straight into him on purpose.

Gu Jilang must have been prepared. He stretched out his arms and caught me as I threw myself at him. His eyes were dark, and no emotion could be heard in his voice. “Xuan Zhuangyu, you really have grown up. You make plans to play basketball with someone else and only tell me afterward.”

Yet because of that embrace, the icy look that had crossed Gu Jilang’s face when he saw the scene on the court finally softened. Only the furrow between his brows remained.

I did not understand what he meant. With shining eyes, I said, “Of course. I’m an adult. A man.”

Ignoring the exaggerated shrieks of the students around us, I deliberately rubbed my hot sweat all over him.

That ought to disgust him.

Then I hung half my weight off Gu Jilang and even raised a hand to fan the air toward him.

I wanted him to smell the stink of my sweat.

Gu Jilang naturally slipped an arm around my waist.

As some thought crossed his mind, his cold gaze fell on the court.

One of the players shuddered, suddenly feeling as if he had been singled out.

No one dared come over to say hello.

When I saw the Young Master’s gloomy expression, the corner of my mouth curved smugly.

Hehe. It was working.

Back at the dorm, I took off my socks and tossed them into a basin.

I deliberately left them unwashed.

That night, Gu Jilang used his precious hands to wash my socks for me.

I nearly died of fright.

I hurried over to help, but Gu Jilang dodged me.

In an indifferent tone, he said, “I smelled them just now. They don’t stink.”

Aaaaaah!

My whole face exploded red. “Y-you… why would you s-smell those? They’re dirty.”
