Gu Wei's first instinct was to stuff his cell phone down his sleeve, but Jiang Xun was a step ahead of him. He caught onto Gu Wei's movements and quickly grabbed hold of his wrist.

Instinctively, Gu Wei pulled free and curled up into a defensive little ball on Jiang Xun's chair.

"You can't look," Gu Wei said, clutching his cell phone close to his chest. "It's nothing. You saw nothing."

"Oh, you don't want me to look?" Jiang Xun set down the tablet and matter-of-factly leaned down to start tickling Gu Wei.

Gu Wei's stomach had always been sensitive and extremely, extremely ticklish. As soon as Jiang Xun touched him, he squirmed and laughed helplessly, still desperately trying to stay curled up while hiding his phone.

"I was wrong," he hiccuped, weakly begging for forgiveness.

"I was wrong earlier," Jiang Xun said. "You're not a very good boy at all, you're a mischievous little brat. You go a few days without being taught a lesson and forget all the old lessons you'd been taught."

Begging for forgiveness was not very effective. Gu Wei had sweetly admitted his wrongdoings too many times, and Jiang Xun had already grown immune to those timid apologies.

When Jiang Xun said that, Gu Wei couldn't help but think of the incident from just a short while ago. The incident in the back of Jiang Xun's SUV. He instantly grabbed hold of the armrests of the chair with both hands, clinging on desperately and refusing to budge.

The only thought in his mind was that he couldn't be pulled down and spanked a second time.

Jiang Xun instantly realized what Gu Wei's goal was. He wrapped his arms around Gu Wei's waist and started to lift him out of the chair. "I think you're getting braver and braver, Little Gu."

In the slight chill of early autumn, Gu Wei had only worn a wool sweater on his upper body. That wool sweater, in the struggle with Jiang Xun, was disturbed far too easily. It rode up from Gu Wei's waist, exposing the pale skin of his belly and subjecting him to a chill from the room. But then Jiang Xun's fingertips inadvertently grazed his bare skin, leaving behind trails of heat in their wake.

Gu Wei's pleas for forgiveness had turned into soft whimpers. He was solely preoccupied with shielding his phone and barely noticed Jiang Xun's embrace growing just a little tighter.

They were so tangled up in their scuffle that they barely noticed when one of Jiang Xun's teammates just so happened to walk in on the scene they were making.

"Oh," West said. "You guys are busy."

He flapped a hand and backed away. "I'll come back later."

Retreating back towards the side room, he called out, "Coach! How about you give us some more training?"

When Gu Wei heard all that, he instantly realized that, in the eyes of a passerby, his and Jiang Xun's scuffle could easily be misconstrued as something else entirely. He was only distracted by that realization for a split second, but that was long enough for his cell phone to fall into Jiang Xun's evil clutches.

Before Gu Wei could fully come back to his senses, Jiang Xun grabbed his right hand and used his fingerprint to unlock the phone.

The nickname he had given Jiang Xun and the chat log from T.ATW's group chat were all summarily exposed.

Next to the familiar pikachu avatar, the nickname that read 'Filthy Adult' was shamelessly presented to Jiang Xun.

"'Filthy Adult'?" Jiang Xun laughed and waved the cell phone at Gu Wei. "Then, what are you?"
