Being the son of a businessman isn't easy, and Ji Nan knows that to well. So when he was forced to move he made sure to not let anyone know about his fathers income. He even made sure not to let anyone get to know him, but when he is tasked with tut...

My body hurts. That's all I could think of as we walked back towards the house. From the bottom of my feet to the top of my head, everything was aching. He didn't lie about going easy on me because the game we just finished felt like hell. I didn't score once, and every time he would score he would smile; making it even more hard for me to focus.Note to self, don't poke the bear and expect a good outcome.
Ba Wei didn't seem to bothered by how much basketball we had played. In fact, the only thing that would visibly tell me he played the same game as me was the amount of sweat that covered him. He's lucky he's used to the pain of playing this sport.
It had already gotten dark, but I have no idea what time it is. The air was cool and the moon was out. I looked up at the sky and to my surprise I could see the stars. How beautiful. You can never see the night sky this clearly in the city.
"How did you enjoy the game," he asked as we walked into the house. We made our way around the furniture one again and began to climb the stair case.
"It was alright," I lied as shivers went down my spine. It was very cold, and as we entered his floor it seemed to get even more cold.
"Yeah, we need to play again sometimes then." I instantly felt regret as he said those words. Why can't I just tell the truth!
"Yeah..."
He flopped down on a couch and I was gonna do the same but the urge to shower was far greater. I stood behind the chair without saying a word. After a few minutes of silence Ba Wei let his head fall back and he looked directly up at me. I looked down at him and was quite startled. His face was cold, and his eyes were moving. It was almost like he was scanning me.
"What?"
"What's wrong," he asked coldly?
I shifted my eyes, "nothing."
He went silent but I could still feel his eyes on me. What is up with his mood all of sudden. It was like it took a complete turn from when we were outside. Strange.
"You're telling the truth," he said suddenly. I looked back down at him, and nothing had changed. His face was still blank, and it seemed that he was even harder to read.
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" He didn't answer that question and that ultimately made the room descend back into silence. We stared at each other intensely, and it seemed that neither of us had any plan looking away.
As I stared at his cold face I had the sudden urge to pinch it, but I couldn't do that. He pinched yours though. When that thought crossed my mind I reached out one of my hands and took a firm grip on his cheek and squeezed. His eyes widened as I let go and I couldn't help but laugh. What a cute reaction.
I was about to reach out to do it again but he grabbed my hand and pulled it towards his mouth. Is he gonna bite me? I closed my eyes and braced myself for the pain but to my surprise it never came. Instead I felt something soft press against it. Did he just kiss my hand?
I opened my eyes to see that he still had my hand in his, but he was looking foreword. His hand was warm, and he had a firm grasp on it. Even if I wanted to pull away, it would be extremely difficult.
The more I looked at our hands together the more embarrassing the situation became. My face had already turned beet red, and If I could hide in a corner I would.
"Um," I said.
"Hmm?"
"I wanna take a shower, do you have any more clothes for me to wear?"
He didn't say anything but he did let go of my hand. He stood up and started walking towards his room. I followed behind him in silence all the way to his closet.
"I don't have anymore pants that will fit you so you'll have to sleep in a shirt only tonight."
"Okay," I said out of reflex. Only when he handed me a very large shirt did I realize what I had agreed too. He walked over to a dresser and pulled out some underwear. They were black just like the shirt.
"They should fit."
"Thanks," I said as I turned to leave.
"No problem."

After my shower I felt much better. I felt refreshed, but I still felt awkward. I stood inside of the bathroom looking in the mirror. The T-shirt that Ba Wei gave me was very large. It covered most of my thighs, but the underwear was slightly too big. It fit my hips well but not my package. I couldn't help but wonder how large his is to stretch this crotch part out this much. My face began to heat up. Focus!
I grabbed the dirty clothes and walked into my room. I put them in the dirty clothes hamper, and walked over the bed. I picked up my phone and checked for messages but there were none. Should've known.
I turned and left the room. I made my way back to the living room and sat down on the chair, I looked around but I didn't see Ba Wei. The room was silent but ever so slightly I heard the sound of running water. He got in the shower too. Good.
I opened my phone and started scrolling through Instagram. It wasn't anything new since I don't follow many people. I went to the explore page and clicked into the food section. I clicked the first video I saw, and it happened to be egg drop soup. I watched them make it and at the end I wanted some. I hadn't had any for so long that I don't even remember it's taste. I should make so-
I was pulled out of my thoughts by the door opening. I raised an eyebrow and looked up. The door shut and the clanking of heels filled the room. A woman with long dark hair and fair skin turned the corner. We immediately made eye contact.
"Who are you," she asked coldly?
