As someone who prided himself on having plenty of romantic experience, Jake was convinced there was no one he could not win over. So when he heard that the top student, Evan, was as untouchable as a flower blooming high on a snowy mountain, he could not help developing a deep interest in that aloof beauty. So he decided to do everything he could to attract him, and secretly swore that he would make Evan fall at his feet. Who would have thought that this so-called aloof beauty was actually… As a popular figure at school, Jake started looking for chances to get close to Evan every day after he boasted to his friends that he would definitely win over that dazzling top student. Finally! After a month of persistence, he finally became Evan’s deskmate. That day, Jake sat beside Evan as usual, thinking about how he could get closer to this cold, icy person in front of him. Just then, his best friend asked if he wanted to go to the newly opened haunted house that weekend. A mischievous gleam appeared in Jake’s eyes as he looked at Evan. “Evan, I heard the amusement park recently opened a haunted house, and we’re planning to go together. Are you coming?” “No.” Evan’s eyes stayed fixed on the book in his hands the entire time, and he did not even lift his gaze to look at Jake. Jake’s expression stiffened as he tugged at the corner of his mouth. No way! He rejected him that directly!? Had all the work he had put in over the past month really had no effect at all?! That could not be right… Was this guy really that impossible to sway? Damn it! I refuse to believe it! “Come on, studying needs a balance between work and rest too. There’s a saying…” Before Jake could finish, Evan lifted his head, and his eyes looked at him seriously. When their eyes met, Jake suddenly felt like he could not keep making things up, and the atmosphere turned a little awkward… No! Since he had decided to chase him, he had to cling to him no matter what! But before he could speak again, Evan had already left. When the weekend arrived, Jake simply went downstairs to Evan’s apartment building and waited for him. Over the past month, he had already figured out Evan’s routine. He made up his mind! No matter what happened today, he had to drag Evan to the haunted house! Under his relentless pestering and forceful pulling, he eventually managed to bring him there. The group carefully groped their way through the dark, eerie haunted house, and the people who came with them included Jake’s best friend Zack and Zack’s girlfriend. Speaking of which, the whole idea of chasing Evan had been stirred up by those two. They had planned it all out. When Evan got scared, Jake would step forward and stand in front of him, showing off his tall, powerful image, and then he would pull off a heroic rescue… But plans often failed to keep up with reality, and as soon as they went inside, Zack and the others were so frightened that they fled in panic. Jake, who had not yet recovered from the shock, felt a hand land on his shoulder. When he turned around, a terrifying ghost face rushed straight at him, scaring him so badly that he threw himself directly into Evan’s arms. At that moment, he could not care about his image anymore. He was seriously about to die from fright! “How long are you planning to hold on?” A low voice came from above his head, without the slightest emotion. “Huh?” Jake awkwardly lifted his head and looked up, but in the darkness, he could not see Evan’s expression clearly. Listening to Evan’s strong, steady heartbeat beside his ear, Jake blushed and pushed away the person in front of him. “Uh, well, sorry. That was purely an accident. I just wasn’t ready!” Jake cleared his throat, his cheeks faintly red, and awkwardly explained to Evan. This was so humiliating! Jake turned his head and looked to the side, not daring to look straight at Evan. “Mm.” Evan only responded lightly, without any emotional fluctuation in his voice. The two of them continued walking deeper into the haunted house, with Evan in front and Jake following behind him while holding on to Evan’s arm. After a while… “Ah!!! I’m not playing anymore!!!” Jake screamed and ran out of the haunted house. Why were those guys playing ghosts only targeting him?! His image and whatever else no longer mattered. Right now, he just wanted to go home. Jake was standing in front of the haunted house trying to calm down when the sudden ringtone of his phone scared him again.
He hurriedly took out his phone and answered it, and his father’s voice came from the other end. “Jake, do you have time to come home now? Dad has something to tell you.” “Okay, I’ll be right back.” When Jake got home, he saw his father and a woman sitting on the sofa, happily talking about something. After they noticed he had returned, both of their faces became a little nervous at the same time. After hesitating for a moment, his father was the first to speak. “Jake, this is Mrs. Young.” Thinking back to the scene when he had just entered the door, Jake understood now. This old guy had found love for the second time. All these years, his father had raised him alone, and it had not been easy. Now, he deserved to have his own happiness too. Jake looked at the woman with a grin. “Hello, Mrs. Young!” After exchanging pleasantries, they began chatting about family matters and kept talking until very late. Although his father asked him to stay for dinner, Jake still refused and said he did not want to disturb their time together. Walking alone on the road, Jake looked a little lonely. He was sincerely happy for his father’s happiness, but when he thought of his mother, who had already passed away, his heart ached again. He took out his phone and called Zack, saying he wanted to buy him drinks to make up for leaving them behind in the haunted house. After several bottles of alcohol, Jake was already lying on the bar counter, still shouting that he wanted to keep drinking. In his daze, he saw a figure walking toward him. As the distance between them closed, he felt more and more that this figure was strangely familiar… That person walked up to Jake and pulled him up from the bar counter. Only then did Jake see clearly that the person who had come was actually Evan. Looking at Evan’s face so close at hand, Jake’s eyes gradually reddened, and in the end, he threw himself directly into Evan’s arms and burst into tears. Evan simply stood there quietly, letting Jake sob and vent against his chest with tears and snot all over the place. When Jake groggily opened his eyes, he discovered that he was in a hotel! Jake sat up with one hand covering his hungover head, then suddenly realized that he was completely naked! Not only that, Evan was also lying naked beside him, and his backside hurt too!!! After his brain short-circuited for a few seconds, fragments of last night rushed back like a flood… Last night, after Evan helped him out of the bar, Evan asked for his home address, but his answer was actually, “Go home for what? Let’s get a room!” Evan very quickly put that into action and satisfied him, tossing him around in all kinds of positions for several hours… Someone tell him what was going on now! Wasn’t he the one chasing Evan?! Hadn’t Evan always ignored him? Oh my God! He must have woken up wrong this morning! Just as Jake was still in shock, Evan, who was beside him, opened his eyes. “We…” “Stop, stop, stop!!!” Jake quickly interrupted Evan’s voice. “Let’s stop right here and pretend nothing happened last night! I won’t keep pestering you anymore either!” Jake scrambled to put on his clothes. What the hell was this?! Although he had dated many times, the most he had ever done was hold hands… Great, just great! He had not even won the guy over yet, and his first time was already gone! Evan grabbed Jake and pulled him over. “Jake! Don’t even think about running away!” Jake looked at Evan in shock, while a faint smile slowly appeared on Evan’s face. Evan’s words and his smile both made Jake feel a chill down his spine. Why did it feel like he had fallen into a trap?! Jake remembered clearly that he had been drinking with Zack last night. Had that guy been turned against him?! No wonder there was a saying that the best hunters always appeared as prey. Well, damn, it turned out I was the prey all along!
After that, Jake ignored Evan and Zack for many days. Until one day, Jake received a call from his father asking him to have dinner with Mrs. Young and the others. Only then did Jake find out that Mrs. Young also had a son. When Jake arrived at the restaurant and saw Evan sitting at the table too, he froze on the spot. What did this mean?! Was he Mrs. Young’s son? Jake awkwardly walked to the table and sat down. His father’s face was full of a kind smile. “Jake, this is Mrs. Young’s son. He’s a little older than you, so he’ll be family from now on.” Jake looked at Evan, who wore a gentle smile, and only felt that he was fake to the extreme. But since his father and Mrs. Young were both beside them, he could only stiffly tug at the corner of his mouth and smile along, while inside, he was wildly cursing all eighteen generations of Evan’s ancestors. Throughout the meal, Jake felt like he was chewing wax. And when his father learned that Evan was a top student, he even suggested that Evan tutor Jake in his schoolwork! Jake really could not stand it anymore, so he planned to use the bathroom as an excuse to avoid Evan. As soon as Jake walked into the bathroom, Evan followed right after him. Evan approached Jake step by step, his charming eyes narrowing slightly. “Didn’t you say you wanted to chase me? Why are you hiding from me now? Hm…” Listening to that seductive voice, Jake could not help having the images from that night appear in his mind again. Just as Jake was about to speak, he heard Evan say again, “Do you want me to help you?” Jake thought in confusion, what did he want to help me with?… Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and looked at Evan in horror. Evan seemed to see the dirty thoughts in Jake’s mind. “Help you study. What else did you think it was?” Seeing the rich variety of expressions changing across Jake’s face, Evan lightly lifted the corner of his mouth and leaned close to his ear. “But… if you want something else, that’s fine too…” Jake pushed Evan away in horror. “You, you, you, what happened to your untouchable image?! Are you possessed now?” Seeing Jake’s incoherent state, Evan laughed even more freely. “That was before. Now I’m your…” Evan once again leaned close to Jake’s ear and whispered in that bewitching voice, “good boyfriend…” Jake stared at Evan with wide eyes. What the hell had he provoked?! While Jake was immersed in his own world, wanting to cry but having no tears, Evan’s hand had already quietly landed on his waist. Jake reacted and was so frightened that he shoved Evan away, turned around, and ran. In the blink of an eye, it was time to change seats again. Jake thought that now he could finally stay away from Evan, since his grades were always at the bottom. He watched as his classmates found their seats one after another and sat down, but the seat beside Evan remained empty the entire time. After the last classmate also chose to sit somewhere else, Jake could only accept his fate and walk over to sit beside Evan. Fine, Evan! So this was how you wanted to play it! However much Jake had wanted to get close to Evan before was exactly how much he wanted to stay away from him now! Now, whenever he saw Evan, he felt a faint pain in his ass.
