The place where one slept the day before would still be the same place one would wake up the next day.

The next morning, Tang Feng was rudely awakened by the frantic ringing of the doorbell; the cursed sound was like a broken mantra without pause. He scrunched his brows and nudged the sleeping man hugging him.

"Go and open the door..." he muttered drowsily. Having drunk too much last night and having 'exercised' right after, Tang Feng tiredly rolled over in the sheets and continued to enjoy his beauty sleep. He looked like a white spring roll, with only a tuft of his glossy black hair and a pair of clean, pale feet peeking out at the two ends.

Lu Tian Chen quickly got up. He picked up the bathrobe that Tang Feng wore the night before and put it on as he walked towards the door. The loose and wide white robe was unable to cover the bite marks on his chest courtesy of Tang Feng.

Perhaps right from the start, he had no intentions of covering it up at all.

"Morning," Lu Tian Chen greeted as he opened the door. Standing outside was not only Charles but also Gino.

This could explain why Charles had been ringing the doorbell incessantly. The two men must have gone to Lu Tian Chen's room, saw that he was nowhere to be found, then immediately thought of Tang Feng. Lu Tian Chen had unplugged the room's phone cord early last night but seeing the two frenzied looking men before him, he thought he really should have disconnected the doorbell as well.

No matter the case, bees will always be drawn to nectar. The people that should come will always come in the end.

"You were here? I knew I would find you here." Charles stood by the door, looking at Lu Tian Chen smilingly. Only those familiar with the man would know that his smile did not reach his eyes. As the so-called "smiling faced tiger", the wider the smile on his face, the angrier the man was.

"Here or there, is there any difference?" Lu Tian Chen turned his head, peering into the dim bedroom. Like a gentleman, he stepped outside to close the bedroom door, afraid their voices might disturb the other man inside the room.

This scene was a bit familiar. Not too long ago, Charles stood inside the room whereas Lu Tian Chen stood on the outside. This time, however, their roles were reversed; Charles was the one knocking on the door while Lu Tian Chen was the one answering it.

The only similarity was that the one in the room, sleeping on the bed, had always been a man named Tang Feng.

Truly as sensational as a drama, this sort of situation left one feeling rather helpless in its wake. That's right, the same person had these two men wrapped around his little finger, yet in the midst of the crossfire, still remained safe and sound, pleasantly sleeping. Such a scene unfolding in the past would have been unbelievable, but now it was clearly happening right before everyone's eyes.

The truth was proven once again: people abandoning their reasons and morals for allurement's sake was as commonplace as ever.

"There really isn't much of a difference." Charles's upper facial muscles were stiff as his fake smile grew wider.

"The flight's been delayed till this afternoon. We can meet again for lunch afterwards, or perhaps even later." Lu Tian Chen smiled faintly in return. The two old friends' eyes flashed with fire as they regarded each other silently. There were some things that, without being said, could be made clear to the other.
