Chapter 6 – The Discrepancies in Memory (Ning Jun’s POV)

Su Yuan was so worried by his what-ifs that he ended up being afraid to leave the bathroom.

Ning Jun sat on the sofa, his fingers slightly curled as he began to tap a random tune on the sofa’s armrest.

He was thinking about their past together.

No one knew that for Ning Jun, meeting Su Yuan had been love at first sight, but it was not the first encounter that Su Yuan knew about.

Long before that encounter outside the long corridor, there had been an occasion where Ning Jun had gone to play a game of basketball with a few friends. During their mid-match break, they had all been seated on the steps of the bleachers near the basketball court. Suddenly, one of Ning Jun’s classmates had nudged Ning Jun as he whispered, “Look, that’s the Su Yuan we were talking about last time. Everyone calls him Young Sir Su as a joke, but in reality, he really is one of those privileged kids.”

The boy also mentioned another name, before continuing to say, “That’s Su Yuan’s father. That fellow really got it lucky with his reincarnation, he was born to be a son of nobility. I heard that Su Yuan’s upbringing is really good, he never looks down on people, and look, all those kids just spend all day hanging around him.”

Ning Jun glanced in Su Yuan’s direction, the latter looked like he was about to play basketball too, clothed in a white basketball uniform with one basketball under his arm. He was standing there talking to another guy, and he must have noticed a pair of eyes on him because after that, Su Yuan turned around and faced where Ning Jun was. He paused for a moment before flashing a good-natured smile toward them.

The boy beside Ning Jun instantly waved back at him, and after Su Yuan turned back, he muttered a compliment, “Aii, he really does look quite handsome.”

Another one of the boys was quick to react as he made a tutting noise before saying, “Go figure, none of those trust-fund kids is a good person. All they have is their parents’ money, and they use that as an excuse to bully the others.”

The boy who had been speaking earlier laughed as he rebutted, “You’re just being anti-rich.”

The boy scoffed, “Pfft! Don’t try and pretend, do you even know how many girlfriends Su Yuan has had? He changes girlfriends like he changes clothes, oh yeah, and sometimes he even has boyfriends!”

The boy from earlier was adamant as he said, “I don’t think Su Yuan is that kind of person.”

At the same time, Ning Jun unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, chugging down the water.

The cool refreshing water managed to slightly calm his raging blood.

Inside, he was thinking to himself, “I too don’t think he’s that kind of person.”

Then, they met during the corridor incident, and when he caught sight of Su Yuan, he had instinctively reacted to protect him. For a brief moment, Su Yuan had been in his arms, his cat-like pure eyes staring straight back at him. He had even held coyly onto his shirt, not wanting him to leave. Looking at Su Yuan’s face had given Ning Jun an uncontrollable urge to want to kiss that pair of eyes. In the end, he had made his escape while leaving his jacket with Su Yuan. Thinking back on this, Ning Jun felt he must have looked like a wreck.

What Ning Jun had never imagined, was that Su Yuan would end up chasing after him. He suddenly remembered the words of the guy who had mentioned how much of a playboy Su Yuan was. He went looking for that person because he wanted to know, “Has Su Yuan really dated a lot before?”

The boy’s answer had been firm and confident, “Of course! Ning Jun, I know that Su Yuan is chasing after you now, but you can’t give in! And I know your family has a bit of power, but think about it, what kind of person is Su Yuan? How large is the gap between you two? The moment he gets what he’s been looking for, I guarantee you he’ll grow bored of you.”

The moment he gets what he’s been looking for, I guarantee you he’ll grow bored of you.

The words were like a curse, circling round and trapping Ning Jun.

Ning Jun had thought that perhaps if the process of being wooed took more time, then that way he could continue to be by Su Yuan’s side.

On the night that Su Yuan had set off fireworks for him, as Ning Jun looked at Su Yuan, who had just said, “… but I also want for you to just be together with me…” His heart had wavered. Then, his mind could not help but think that even though Su Yuan had been in many relationships before, maybe he could be that special someone?

However, it was not long before reality gave him a harsh wake-up call.

Su Yuan had brought him out riding, but when he had returned from going to the toilet, he saw Su Yuan with his arms around a girl their age. The two of them were busy taking selfies, and their sweet eyes were heart-wrenching to see. He silently stood there, waiting for Su Yuan to notice him, but he did not. In the end, it had been that girl who had noticed him. She seemed to have reacted with reluctance as she whispered something to Su Yuan, almost as if she was berating him, and Su Yuan had looked up at him with a flustered look before he turned away to try and comfort that girl.

Seeing this had made Ning Jun tightly clench his fists, as he reeled in the urge to go and confront Su Yuan.

If he had asked him outright back then, would Su Yuan have given up?

Later on, Su Yuan had taken advantage of his family situation to blackmail him, and this made him feel both happy and furious. He was glad that he finally had a reason to be together with Su Yuan, but he was mad that it seemed like it was not Su Yuan’s first experience with blackmailing others.

While they were at university, whenever other people would ask him about their relationship, he would watch silently as Su Yuan denied it over and over again. Ning Jun coldly watched Su Yuan’s fans fawn over him, as he constantly reminded himself of those words, “The moment he gets what he’s been looking for, I guarantee you he’ll grow bored of you.”

There were many a time where Ning Jun had wanted nothing more than to lock Su Yuan up. Far away from anyone’s prying eyes, somewhere where only he could touch him, and a place where only he could see Su Yuan acting coy and needy.

From a young age, Ning Jun had always had exceptional self-discipline and control, but whenever he faced Su Yuan, he would just lose it all.

When the incident in the hotel had occurred, he could have used the simplest method to help Su Yuan deal with the drug, but he had not. Instead, as he watched Su Yuan squirm and wriggle about like a snake in his arms, his urge was to take him then and there, take him so he could own him.

The next day, Ning Jun had been worried that Su Yuan’s throat might be painful from the soreness, so he had gone to pour Su Yuan a glass of water. When he came back, he saw Su Yuan buck-naked by the bed, his snow-white skin dotted with lovebites and his essence was still running down Su Yuan’s leg. Ning Jun immediately hardened, and after putting down the glass of water, he began to leave when suddenly Su Yuan called out to him.

He initially wanted to let Su Yuan finish talking, but it was almost like Su Yuan’s voice was embedded with hooks, making him utterly unable to concentrate as his mind played back all the moaning sounds Su Yuan had made.

He had been wary of letting Su Yuan see him like this, so he had tried to get away.

Worried he might scare Su Yuan, Ning Jun battled to control his own lust and desire, but Su Yuan still ended up testing his control.

When the two of them had stayed together, Su Yuan would always wear his white shirts, baring both his legs as he nuzzled closer into Ning Jun’s side. He would smile sweetly at him, his left cheek revealing a dimple that must have been the equivalent of the world’s most effective aphrodisiac. It made him want to revel in nothing but pleasure, even as that small mouth would keep the fire burning.

“Jun Gege, if you don’t want me to wear any clothes… Then come take your shirt from me ah…”

“This shirt I’m wearing is actually one of your clothes, so that means you can strip it off me…”

“Jun Gege… Come and take it off me… I’ve got nothing on underneath…”

…………

Honestly, Ning Jun yearned to pounce on him, rip off that obstructive shirt and suck on those luscious red lips of his. He wanted to pin this man to the bed, pound him with all his might so that he would never be able to say things like that again.

However, he could not do any of that. Ning Jun was so paranoid that he was just a temporary fling for Su Yuan, and that if he gave in to Su Yuan’s demands, Su Yuan would quickly grow sick of him and dump him.

All he could do was keep a straight face as he put on Su Yuan’s shirt instead. From the outside, he looked calm and nonchalant, utterly unfazed by it all.

Yet, for the countless nights that followed after, when he dreamt of the same situation, the dream-him had no need for control…

His hands could slide inside the loose and baggy shirt on Su Yuan’s body…

They could feel all over his smooth skin…

Knead the flesh of Su Yuan’s thighs following all the way up until his waist…

The sound of ragged breathing coming out from the person beneath him, as Su Yuan tearfully begged for mercy…

Ning Jun held nothing back, as both his mind and body made full use of this person in satisfying his own needs.

…………

Ning Jun bowed his head as he looked at the large lump in his pants, it was no surprise that just the thought of it was enough to get such a huge reaction from himself. If Su Yuan knew about this, he probably would have run away in fear.

Whatever. I’d better deal with it in the guest bedroom.

Ning Jun got to his feet.
