Seduction Game

Chapter 01

The weather was getting warmer day by day, to the point that none of the staff members in the office went to the company's cafeteria to get food. Instead, most of them opted to ordering takeouts in advance.

Gu Xia was one of the few who went to the cafeteria to buy food—for no other reason but to spend time with Ji Zheng.

He originally intended to accompany Ji Zheng to the cafeteria today, but the instant he came out from the washroom, he was immediately struck by the pain of a headache. Thinking that he might be suffering from a bit of heatstroke, he sat down and rested his head on the table for a while.

He felt sick as he looked up the moment Ji Zheng called out to him. Giving Ji Zheng a wave, he said, "I don't think I'll be able to go with you. I'm sleepy so I'm going to rest my eyes for a little while."

When Ji Zheng turned to leave, Gu Xia leaned back against the chair to continue resting for a bit longer. As the throbbing pain in his head started to subside,  he sighed in relief, while at the same time, feeling more and more lost about how to woo Ji Zheng.

Even while feeling muddle-headed, he still could not forget about Ji Zheng because he genuinely did like him a lot. He adored his face, his body, and even his personality. But the problem was that Ji Zheng was too straight of a man, so Gu Xia felt that he could not reveal too much of his affection. It is often said that office romances did more harm than good... How he yearned to be in a relationship, but will the man ever give him the chance to do so?

The more he dwelled on it, the more awful his head felt. Gu Xia rested his head again on the table, his mind still filled to the brim with Ji Zheng's face, obsessed beyond hope.

Gu Xia eventually fell asleep the more he thought about him. By the time he woke up, he was in a daze. Though the electric fan in the office was running, the weather was still quite clammy. Sweat had broken out at his forehead during his nap, even his temples were damp.

"You're awake?"

It took Gu Xia a while to realise that the voice belonged to Ji Zheng. Turning around, he was greeted by the sight of Ji Zheng sitting at his side, holding onto something in his hand.

Looking at the time, Gu Xia found that he had only slept for twenty minutes. "Why are you back so soon? Done with lunch already?"

Since he had just woken up, his voice sounded nasally.

Ji Zheng knew he should not think of anything else at that moment since Gu Xia still seemed to be feeling sick. But he just could not help himself from thinking that Gu Xia's soft-spoken voice sounded a little adorable.

Feeling that he was a completely hopeless case for finding a man adorable, Ji Zheng raised his head to glance at Gu Xia who was resting his wrist at the edge of the table, his hand dangling at the side. His hands appeared beautiful, fair and lanky. What a sight it must be to behold, those gorgeous hands playing the piano. Even if Gu Xia did not play the piano with those hands, using them for "something else" would also be quite... pleasing.

Placing the bag he was holding on the table, Ji Zheng then took out the medicine and porridge found inside.

"Eat something before taking the meds." Gu Xia was oblivious to Ji Zheng's eyes still lingering on his hand.

"Thanks!" Staring at the box of medicine, he flipped it around to look at the box more closely. It was only after he was done examining it did he dare to pretend to casually look up at Ji Zheng. "Capsules?"
