4503 The Other Side 472
“How can this be on you? The loser has to admit defeat. I’ve lost, so be it. There’s no reason for you to foot the bill.”
He looked up and met Gong Jie’s deep gaze. He kept his gaze on the man, as though he could excavate treasure in those eyes. In that moment, he also realized that they were the only ones left in the games room. He could not help feeling a little awkward. There was a heavy silence in the air.
In the morning, he had woken up to Gong Jie lying beside him. Even though Natalia was between them, when he recalled what had happened the night before, he ran out of the room as if he was running away from a disaster. He himself could not figure out what he was running away from and what he was avoiding. It was almost instinctive.
Hua Jin felt somewhat guilty. “Why… are you staring at me?”!!
“I’m going away for a while. I won’t be around for a period of time.”
“…” The actor looked puzzled. “Why?… Where are you going?”
“To take care of something.”
“Is it dangerous?”
Gong Jie frowned slightly. “I’d be lying if I say it’s not dangerous, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I have to deal with this matter.”
“Do you have to do it yourself?” The actor was a little worried. “If it’s that dangerous, can’t you send someone else?”
The man’s eyes twinkled. “Why? Are you worried about me?”
“No… It’s just out of concern for a friend.”
Gong Jie knew that he wasn’t really saying it out of concern for a friend. Hua Jin was just being awkward. However, he was glad to see the actor’s worried expression.
“So what if it’s dangerous?” Gong Jie crossed his arms and leaned gently against the table. “Wouldn’t it be much easier for you if I don’t come back?”
“Much easier… Why should it be much easier for me?”
“What otherwise? I don’t think you’re at ease now. It’s as if you’re guarding against me.”
“What are you talking about?! If you don’t come back, everyone will be very sad, especially Shishi. She’ll be devastated for sure.”
“Everyone will be sad…” Gong Jie suddenly lowered his head and inched closer to the other man. “May I ask if that includes you?”
“…” The actor was speechless again.
“Fine.” The man ruffled his hair. “I won’t bully you anymore.”
So this guy was aware that he was bullying him! For a moment, the actor did not know what to say. It seemed that the two of them had been stuck at a complicated watershed and bottleneck. There was a desire to break through but he was also instinctively retreating.
Just as Gong Jie was about to leave, the actor mustered up his courage and stood up. “Gong Jie, if it’s really dangerous, don’t go!”
Gong Jie turned to look at him with an unreadable expression.
The actor looked at him and walked over. “What is this matter you have to attend to? Is it convenient for you to tell me?”
Gong Jie suddenly reached out and pulled the actor in front of him. “Clearly you don’t mean it when you say that you don’t care. Hua Jin, is it really that difficult for you to admit that you care about me?”
“I…” The actor’s body stiffened as he looked at his feet. He felt as though he was sinking deeper and deeper into a swamp. He did not dare to look at Gong Jie. The man’s eyes were like an abyss, vast and profound. He could not extricate himself from it.
This feeling of helplessness made him feel as though a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He grew inexplicably anxious.
