Gino ended up dragging Lilith home with him. Despite that, the image of Lilith crying her heart out was ingrained in Tang Feng's mind. He couldn't forget the shocking words the girl had said.

Gino liked Fiennes? Gino liked him? So much that Gino had called out his name during the night?

That was impossible!

Even after returning home, Tang Feng was preoccupied with Lilith's words. It was simply too shocking and unexplainable, so much that he drove Charles and Lu Tian Chen out of his room.

He needed time alone. He needed to think and calm down.

In his past life, he'd had a strange relationship with Gino. The media and the public had the impression that the two of them were close, but that was far from the truth. From the start, Gino had treated him like an eyesore. Gino had picked on him every time they came across each other. Not one to back down, Tang Feng had thrown back his fair share of snark.

Could their relationship even be described as that of a senior and a junior?

Just remembering those times made Tang Feng sigh at his immaturity. At that time, just seeing Gino's annoying face and hearing his annoying voice made him want to beat the youngster down a notch or two.

He'd always thought that Gino had picked on him because of dislike. There was no way that he could be wrong about that.

After being reborn, Tang Feng discovered that Gino actually wasn't a bad person. He was occasionally childish, and also willful and a show-off. Even then, Tang Feng never thought that Gino had come troubling him at every turn because the youngster liked him.

Tang Feng wasn't narcissistic enough to think that.

But Lilith's attitude while she was drunk, her pain and her curses, they were all telling Tang Feng that Gino had loved Fiennes, that all their petty fights were a means for Gino to attract Fiennes', meaning his attention.

Tang Feng had never expected for such a childish love to occur in an adult, but it appeared that he was wrong. Gino had never spoken a kind word to him in the past, much less a confession of love. It appeared that Gino truly believed that arguing with him was the best way to get his attention.

"My god..." Tang Feng fell on the bed and covered his eyes. He couldn't believe that this was happening.

This was definitely a joke. He must have misunderstood something.

Tang Feng decided that he needed to have a talk with Gino tomorrow. There was no way he could ignore this!

"He's acting a bit strange today," Lu Tian Chen said while sitting on the couch in his pajamas. They only had a square, modern floor lamp turned on. The artistic lines of the lamp were accentuated by the gentle light it emitted, appearing like a work of art. However gentle the light was, it couldn't soften the sharpness of the two men's eyes.

Charles had a cup of coffee in his hands; he clearly had no plans of sleeping tonight. At Lu Tian Chen's words, he chuckled. "Why don't you just ask me whether I've done anything to him on the way back? You probably think I forced him, right? All right, I'll admit that was what I had planned in mind, but unfortunately, I had to push back my bedtime date with Tang Feng."

Lu Tian Chen and Charles were college classmates. Because of their similar values and the fact that they liked each other, they'd decided to work together.
