"We have a guest." He said with an excited voice, playfulness returning... But Anying knew not to look at them as he could already feel four pairs of boring gazes on him.
He didn't want to get introduced, didn't want to Play... He wanted food but as soon as he intended to voice this out, xueCheng turned like a mischievous demon he was, as if reading his mind and batted his lashes cutely.
"You'll play first before eating.". He said.
Damn it!. Anying pursed his lips and wanted to decline.
"I am hungry I can--". xueCheng's voice interupted him.
"Hungry?." xueCheng asked with a wondering expression on his face causing Anying to frown.
Then unexpectedly, xueCheng brought his warm palm to anying's stomach and touched, then he withdrew his hand as if he didn't.
Anying stared at him dumbfounded.... What was he doing?.
xueCheng smiled brightly ignoring his dumbfounded look and said "I just checked wether you were hungry... And indeed, you were...".
Anying's brows eased a little when he heard this.. ... So, was xueCheng going to allow him pass to eat now?.
"But...". There came the three lettered word that Anying hated in these types of situations. He shouldn't have gotten relieved too soon.. though..."You can still play before eating!". He added enthusiastically.
"I--". Anying began but was interupted again by xueCheng who dragged him further to the center of the room.
"You can bear it. It's not fatal!.". The peach haired added.
He wanted to protest more but then hey... Something happened, he didn't know why but his body suddenly felt light... Like he didn't feel as if he wanted to fall down or eat anything on sight anymore.
What the?..what happened...
He stared at xueCheng's back for a split second before shaking his head and quickly refocused it on the four people awaiting them... Just in time for xueCheng to push him down on the sofa to announce.
"Now to the next game!.". Ignoring the heated gazes directed at Anying.
But no one moved ok, they were all staring at Anying as if they would pounce on him and devour him whole in the next minute.
After all this was the first time Anying was being alone with them once again after so many years...
Jimeng had a worried and furious look on his face, so was Xiao hua and Xiao Jing... Xiao Jing was staring at him as if he was her worst enemy and a dead chicken... He knew the reason why... Xiao Hua ... Xiao hua... looked as if she would beat him up with a broken bottle any minute....
And yuehua... He had a pure worried and annoyed look on his face.
xueCheng noticed the tension... And it seemed like he didn't want it to get in the way of whatever he was planning so he said.
"Everything else will come later but now we're going to play.". His voice came out surprisingly firm yet ticklish.
No one replied until he glared at them all for answers.
"Fine!.". Xiao Jing replied flailing her hands in submission, gave Anying a glance and returned to her normal self.
So did the rest of them.. except yuehua who couldn't hide his expression... Only averted his gaze after giving Anying a full body scan.
Anying sighed in relief, ignored Xiao Jing's deathly glare and faced xueCheng's back.
"So now... We will move on to... Tug of war!.". xueCheng announced again... being the coah of the game. After all they were now six... Three on each sides.
But unfortunately, yuehua wasn't interested. He was okay with sitting and admiring anying's figure for all he cared.
But xueCheng wasn't having any of it. What to do?... What to do?!... He had wanted them to play this game for a long time!. They hadn't for a long time!. And now that Anying was here it was the perfect time!.
Plus he didn't know when Anying would be coming out again so...
"What do you want?.". He asked , peering at yuehua with the no room for rebuttal gaze.
Yuehua sighed wondering if he should just knock the youth out or.. bundle him in a pink wrapper and send him to JYI holding's main gates [ xiajie's company]... Then his gaze shifted to anying who was staring at xueCheng's back.
Wait...
Why didn't he think about this before...?.
What Did he want eh?.
".I want to be in the same group as Anying.". He said.
And xueCheng had to hold in the urge to facepalm at his request. "Fine then deal!. Get your ass off the couch!.". He said in reply.
Anying felt a sense of deja Vu... It felt like two people were taking a major decision about his own life without his permission.
But oh well... Since it would get him to escape xueCheng's claws, get some food and go back to bed ... There would be no harm done right?.. right?...
Right so?... "What are you guys Waiting for?."He demanded.
"Ok ok... Yuehua, Anying and jimeng on the left. I, Xiao Hua and Xiao Jing on the right... Eh?.. do that while I go bring the tape and rope for tugging.". xueCheng announced and everyone began positioning themselves.
The youth ran to the kitchen cabinet to collect the items needed, then he came back, used the yellow tape to draw a straight line across the room and held the rope out.
Xiao Jing was holding his back while Xiao Hua was holding her own back... Now it was remaining the three of them who hadn't taken their position yet..
And xueCheng didn't forget to give yuehua a scrutinizing stare when the later still refused to get his ass of the couch.
".you--."He began but didn't get to finish what he was about saying when yuehua got up .
Jimeng followed suit by standing up, going to wrap his hand tightly around yuehua's waist and buried his face on the taller man's back with a content mumble.
Something along the lines of '. This game ' and ' forever '.
