Huayu: Live a carefree life

Chapter 20: The Struggle for Survival

During the meal, the two did not stick together again, but they still maintained their previous ambiguous relationship.

Especially after two glasses of sweet red wine, Liu Haocun became a little flushed and talked more. "Lu Jie, I'm actually a bit of a stubborn person."

Liu Haocun gulped down his third glass of red wine and was about to pour himself another when Lu Jie gently snatched the bottle away. "Drink less. Sweet red wine is easy to drink, but it's still wine. You'll get drunk if you drink too much."

"What, you're such a big boss, don't you feel bad about the bar?" Liu Haocun moved next to Lu Jie, squinted her bright eyes, and looked at him with a smile.

Then, in a very ambiguous tone, she said, "Or is it that the big bad guy is feeling sorry for me?"

"I just don't like the corpse-picking mode, I haven't experienced it... um?" Before Lu Jie could finish his teasing words, Liu Haocun took the initiative to hug his neck and kiss him.

After a long while, their lips parted, and it was Lu Jie's turn to be teased.

"Hehe, you big bad guy's kissing skills are indeed quite good, this young lady is very satisfied~" Liu Haocun pushed Lu Jie against the wall, straddled his lap, and flirtatiously lifted his chin with her fingertips, "Tell me honestly, how many innocent girls did you kiss to hone your skills, you big bad guy?"

Lu Jie cupped her drums in his hands and said in response, "There are so many, I can't even count them all~"

"So what's wrong with calling you a big bad guy and a big pervert, huh?" Liu Haocun rested his head on Lu Jie's shoulder and closed his eyes. "Brother, did you want to have me the first time you saw me?"

Lu Jie pretended to think, a smile playing on his lips, until Liu Haocun opened his eyes before shaking his head and saying, "Of course not!"

Before Liu Hao could continue with his doubts, he said, "My sexual orientation is normal, why would I like tomboys? You tell me... Ouch... Hiss... Oh my god, you really bit me~"

Liu Haocun really bit Lu Jie's shoulder this time, and it hurt a lot, but Lu Jie wasn't angry. It wasn't that he was being a jerk; he just felt that this kind of girl was more genuine.

"Who told you to be so annoying!" After biting me, Liu Haocun skillfully stuck out his tongue and licked the teeth marks. "It's supposed to hurt, otherwise how would you remember me!"

Liu Haocun cupped Lu Jie's handsome face and kissed him. "When you first called me a tomboy, I thought you were absolutely awful and a complete waste of such a handsome face."

"But then, after talking to you more, I found you to be a really interesting person. But after seeing your success stories, it all seems so unreal. How could I possibly know someone like you? How could there be someone as handsome, rich, and witty as you in this world?"

Lu Jie grinned mischievously and pinched Liu Haocun's chin. "And then you fell for me?"

Liu Haocun didn't flinch, looking directly into Lu Jie's eyes and nodding, "Yes, I think I like you!"

After giving Lu Jie a kiss, Liu Haocun leaned his head back on Lu Jie's shoulder. "You know what? When I saw your rumors, I was going to confront you. But I suddenly realized I had no grounds to do so. You big bad guy, you've been stringing me along and playing games with me all along!"

She took another light bite. "That's when I realized you were actually a jerk! But... I was already a little hooked, and I didn't want to give up before it even started!"

"Just to clarify, I haven't cheated on you yet~"

"Come on, I don't believe you're going to let me off the hook today!" Liu Haocun pouted and complained, then looked at Lu Jie with amusement, deliberately shifting his buttocks to feel the hardness. "Unless... you can't do it? No way~ Ah, don't tickle me, brother, I'm sorry, I'm ticklish! Ah~"

After a period of playful banter, they resumed their conversation.

"Ugh, you've completely ruined my hair!"

"Who knew you were so ticklish? Tie your hair in a ponytail, it looks good on you."

"Hehe, really?"

"Hmm, you have a beautiful face shape." Lu Jie started praising you. "Your face shape is between an oval and a heart-shaped face, combining the advantages of both. The contours are smooth, and you give off a gentle and approachable vibe at first glance. Your cheekbones are full but not prominent, and your jawline is clear but not sharp, giving you a natural youthful look."

"What attracts me most are your round, doe-like eyes, paired with your thick, naturally flowing eyebrows and that beauty mark. How could I possibly ignore you after seeing you?"

This was the first time Liu Haocun had received such detailed praise for his appearance, especially from someone he liked; his heart was practically melting.

Seeing this, Lu Jie put his arm around her shoulder. "I liked you at first sight, but I don't like girls with short hair. Oh, I'm serious, what's wrong with liking girls with long, flowing hair? So, I started thinking about you when you sent me a selfie with shoulder-length hair."

"It seems so. After that, the things you talked about with me about became much more explicit! So that's when you started planning it! Humph!"

After his initial arrogance, Liu Haocun became serious again. "Lu Jie, can I ask you a question?"

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

"Is that campus belle from the Central Academy of Drama your girlfriend?"

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Jie looked into Liu Haocun's eyes and said seriously, "Xiao Cun, I don't want to lie to you. Hu Lianxin is my girlfriend."

"Then why are you still stringing me along? And you still say you're not a scumbag!" Liu Haocun, who had expected this, did not break free from her embrace. Instead, he punched her a few times and bit her. This time, he really hit her.

"Yeah, fine, he's a scumbag then. You're a good girl, so I don't want to miss out on you." Lu Jie shamelessly tried to justify his womanizing, "I can't accept you like this, in someone else's arms, so I definitely won't let you go!"

"Huh? You're such a controlling person! I'm an actor!" Liu Haocun blinked his big eyes and said, "What if I have intimate scenes or kissing scenes in my future films?"

"A camera trick! A body double!"

"Hugging, holding hands?"

"Hmm... well... it's okay if you don't stick your claws out."

"You...I..." Liu Haocun was speechless at Lu Jie's matter-of-fact attitude, but at the same time he was also a little happy. "I haven't even given it to you yet! I don't know if you really care about me or if it's just a burst of control."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Lu Jie. I like you, I want to be with you, and I'm willing to be with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come out to eat with you alone today."

"But you yourself said your girlfriend is Hu Lianxin, and then you said you like me and won't let me go. So, will you let go of Hu Lianxin?"

"Of course not!"

"Okay, but liking someone is selfish. Do you want me to share your affection with another woman, or even several other women? And then expect me to wholeheartedly like you and love you? Is that how it is?" Liu Haocun became more and more agitated as he spoke. "Lu Jie, don't you think your demands are excessive and selfish?"

"Yes, I also think I'm selfish." Lu Jie smoothed Liu Haocun's messy hair. "Liu Haocun, I like you. Be with me."

Liu Haocun was caught off guard by Lu Jie's unexpected confession and was forcibly kissed before he could react.

"Hey, no, you! Ugh~ No! Ugh~ Make yourself clear! Ugh~ I haven't... I haven't agreed to you yet! Ugh~" Liu Haocun tried to put up a last resistance, but eventually went limp in Lu Jie's arms.
