4482 The Other Side 451

Stunned, he blurted out, "Why?"

At this point, it seemed only such a question could demonstrate his chaotic state of mind.

What was Gong Jie doing?

Was it a prank?

Otherwise, why would he kiss him?

However, if it were a prank, why was he sensing all those complicated emotions from his kiss? As a veteran actor, he could tell the difference between a kiss that carried emotions with it and that which did not. Gong Jie's kiss served to only further complicate how he was feeling.

Gong Jie smiled and remarked, "Why? What do you mean why?"

"Why… did you kiss me?"

"Let's be together."

The man's words only served to create a greater chaos in Hua Jin's emotions.

Perhaps, if it had not been for this accident and he had not gone through such adversity with him, Gong Jie would not have been made aware of his own feelings. However, since he had initiated a kiss, it meant that he had already reflected upon his own feelings. And since he was clear on his own emotions, he was only demonstrating that point in a way that was aligned with his straightforward and domineering nature.

He hated being coy about feelings. It was not his style.

The actor almost choked. He did not expect Gong Jie to make such a request.

"Together?" He deliberately changed the subject. "Aren't we together now?"

"Don't play dumb with me."

Hua Jin was dumbstruck. Gong Jie could not be bothered with the actor's pretense

Trying to change the subject?

Naturally, Gong Jie would not give him such a chance. "I'll give you time to think about it." He sat down by the bed, crossing his arms over his chest. It would have been more apt to say that he was forcing the actor to give in. He was very domineering and forceful! Very much his style!

The actor lowered his head, still lost in his thoughts.

After less than five seconds, Gong Jie turned around and asked, "Have you decided?"

"…"

That wasn't even five seconds! He was asking if he had thought it through!!

"Didn't you say you'd give me time to think about it?"

Gong Jie looked at his watch and replied, "It's been half a minute."

"You call this giving me time to think about it?"

"What else? How much time do you want?" Gong Jie raised an eyebrow. "It's just a matter of a few words. How much time do you need? A day? A month? A year?"

"…"

"If you agree, it's a 'yes'. If you don't, it's a 'no'."

The actor asked curiously, "What if I agree?"

"Then we'll be together."

"What if I don't agree?"

"You can't run away."

Can't run away?

The actor retorted, "Do you take me for a prey?"

"We'll be together sooner or later."

"…"

The actor finally broke down. "Then why are you asking me to think about it, if we're going to be together sooner or later!"

"Eh?" Gong Jie smiled when he heard this and put his arm gently around the back of Hua Jin's neck. "Good decision. Since we're going to be together sooner or later, there's no need to hesitate."

"…" The actor was at a loss for an answer. "I'm feeling a little confused. I'm tired and sleepy. I want to rest for a while."

"Alright." Gong Jie stood up and ordered someone to remove the bowl and cutlery. "Have a good rest, then."

Without a word, the actor lay down, covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes.

He heard the door close. Gong Jie had left.

Hua Jin closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep. He didn't want to think about anything, but his mind would not be controlled. His thoughts started to wander.
