RUMOURS RUN WILD (Completed)

Chapter 5

Gulf had once asked Mew about the identity of the senior who was bullying him, but Mew did not reply. Although Gulf never asked again but he also did not forget, who would have known that he would see Joss's ugly face immediately on this day. His anger could not help but boil over, and of course Gulf's hasty beating of Joss was attributed to other hidden factors.

Joss happened to be one of the guys chasing Pufai in the past, and was considered a strong competitor. This guy was a little good looking, could play the piano, was a member of the school council literary club, and because of Pufai had tried to sabotage Gulf a number of times. Gulf being a righteous person, naturally did not drag himself to the level of Joss, and because of this "I don't care what you assholes are doing" attitude together with his independent and masculine straight man image, had won Pufai's heart.

With fate making a fool out of people, Gulf had only been with Pufai for a few months before breaking up. Pufai had immediately went to the loyally waiting Joss, Gulf was also labelled as gay, and with frequent unsavoury news about Gulf flying about, forget about outsiders embellishing the rumour, even Gulf himself unknowingly fanned the flames. It seemed like there was no way for Gulf and Mew to ever clarify this misunderstanding. Even if they were to jump into the Yellow River to wash away this misconception, others would only say that Gulf and Mew could no longer withstand the eyes of the public and decided to commit suicide by jumping into the river. Gulf was also a little stubborn, even after consoling himself that Mew and him were truly innocent, once he heard something he could not resist defending himself, only to end up even more misunderstood.

Just like now, as Mew shot him a "shut the fuck up" glare, Gulf only just remembered that Mew was also involved. By the way, Mew was truly handsome, despite only wearing a very plain white shirt and normal black pants, he could still give off a dignified feeling, and after including his arresting eyes, he looked just like someone who stepped off a fashion magazine.

"It's your turn, quickly get up the stage."

Without saying anything Mew entered the stage, he could heard the screaming and clapping of the crowd through the think curtain, not unlike what Gulf was imitating last night. Gulf impolitely pulled Joss off the ground. He could actually also be considered enigmatic, he would be considered a martial artist, naturally unbothered by small fights and arguments. Gulf squinted his big almond eyes, and threw a somewhat dangerous look over to Joss.

"Mew and I have always been innocent; you don't go around bullying juniors. If anything, just look for me directly."

Gulf was already good looking, with this statement it only further enhanced his looks, to the point where even he himself was secretly happy. - Hehe, I actually have this opportunity to spew such typical male lead lines! Joss held his swollen face and asked unbelievably.

"There's really nothing between Mew and you?"

"Why do all of you keep thinking that there's something between us?"

Gulf lifted the curtain slightly, letting Joss clearly see Mew under a spotlight. Such a lonely prince playing an antique piano in an ancient castle, presenting to him his favourite rose, with Mew's fingers as pretty as his face, shining under the light, and the moving melody coming out from the piano keys sounded just like a romantic conversation with his lover.

"You guys think that I'm deserving of Mew? "Gulf self-mockingly smiled. "You have really overestimated me."

If Mew was to be described as the shining prince charming receiving laudations and applause on the stage, Gulf would be described as the ordinary Cinderella hiding behind the curtains. Whether it was Mew's looks, family background, abilities, he could only be paired with the brightest and shiniest princess, whereas a Cinderella like Gulf could only help carry the skirt of the princess - Hold on, this example doesn't seem quite right. Did I make myself too tragic?
