Please, Love Me Again

Chapter 70: You Stay And Keep Me Warm

Arthur, who was sitting on the wooden chair, covered his eyes and slightly turned around, looking somewhere else. He couldn't help mumbling something that only he himself could hear. "He is doing it again. He is doing it again. Forget it. I think he is already hopeless."

Jasper was lost for words to say. Awkward, he slightly turned his sight away.

Chen Lei did not just kiss Xander. He forcefully invaded every part of the man's lips. He savored the sweetness of Xander's soft lips and saliva. He also conquered the inside of the man's mouth and sucked his tongue ferociously.

Xander was endlessly fighting for his freedom. He threw Chen Lei a series of punches but all of them went in vain. Because of that, he couldn't help but think that his strength was weak and not enough to beat the devil. Since his fists could not do something to push the man away, he thought of giving him another attempt to kick on the crotch using his knee. Unfortunately, his leg was caught by the man using his almighty thighs and pushed him towards the wall, pressing him without breaking from that intense kiss.

That kiss lasted for almost two minutes but Chen Lei remained composed as he set Xander free. As for Xander, he was almost breathless and was totally ashamed of what they did. Xander's face flushed scarlet. He hung his head low. He felt like he was caught doing something bad by his parents and was standing on that spot waiting for his parent's scolding and punishment.

Chen Lei simply cast a glance to Jasper then back to Xander. He wrapped his arm around the man's shoulder, pressing him closer to his side. Like he was putting the line on his territory and marking his property. No one was allowed to trespass or touch what belonged to him, otherwise, the intruder would surely die.

He leaned on Xander, pressing their cheeks very intimately and whispered in his ear, eyes landed back to Jasper and started at him coldly. "Still dare to say I am an insignificant stranger? I just kissed you this time. But… If you can't shut your mouth right now and will keep denying our relationship in front of others, I won't mind crossing the lines." He smiled at Jasper. "Try me. What do you think, Lieutenant Joaquin?"

"What's wrong with this man? Why do I feel he is trying to compete with me over this guy? Is he a psycho? What made him think I like this guy? What a pathetic young man. He was caught by a psychopath. I better do something later." It took a minute before Jasper moved an inch to face the cold man. He pursed his lips and then laughed softly suddenly. "That kiss earlier is hot and passionate. I'm quite envious. But sir… what you did earlier was wrong. You shouldn't force him to do something he doesn't like."

"Doesn't like?" Chen Lei glimpsed at the person on his side and laughed crisply. He then slightly pressed Xander's arm and said, "Did I force you? Did you dislike that kiss? Tell him your thoughts and feelings. What can you say about it?"

Xander flinched from that silent warning. He raised his head and shifted his sight back and forth to the two, thinking, "What to do? Though I hated this devil deep in my bones, I can't tell Lieutenant Joaquin that we are not on good terms and we have no such disgraceful relationship like what this devil is trying to impose. If I tell you that the devil was harassing me, Lieutenant Joaquin will surely interfere given his profession. On the contrary, if I do tell the Lieutenant, I am going to offend and provoke this devil. In terms of power, Lieutenant Joaquin is nothing. I really do want to torture this devil, but how? Forget it. Forget it. I should just let the nature take its course."

Xander was forced to smile, eyes roaming around. Instead of talking about their nonsensical relationship and that horrible kiss in front of Jasper, Xander chose to change the subject as well as the freezing atmosphere of the room because of the people.

"You guys might feel cold. I'll go and look for something for you to change in the room." Said that, Xander swiftly moved to escape from them and hurried inside the room that was only enough for a single person. He immediately looked for something to wear while cursing Chen Lei endlessly. "That devil. I hate him. I hate him."

Xander immediately found his old clothes in the drawer. For himself, it was a loose red shirt and old pants torn by their knees. He hurriedly replaced his dirty and wet suits. Then brought out the three other pairs of shirts and handed them to them one by one. Each was different in color. "Here are the clothes. I don't have pants in the drawer. Only old shirts. Wear this. Just make it do for a day."

Jasper accepted one for himself gratefully. "Buddy, thanks for this. May I know your name?"

'"Xander. Xander Villiaruel."

"Thanks for this."

"You're welcome." Xander smiled back at Jasper genuinely.

Chen Lei saw them exchanging smiles and anger aroused in his heart. Without saying anything, he suddenly pulled one piece of clothing from Xander's hands, causing the latter to stumble towards him.

In the end, the two embraced each other once more.

"Here they are again." Arthur rolled his eyes, turned around and changed his clothes.

Chen Lei teasingly smirked and raised a brow at Xander. "Your habit is quite unique. You keep throwing yourself at me. What a naughty man… You say, why need to change our clothes if we can keep ourselves warm using our body? What do you think?"

"p*****t! Shameless!” Xander said without thinking. " Let go. You are dirtying me."

Chen Lei shook his head innocently. "Those words again. I'm sick of that." He held Xander's and made him look into his eyes. "I want to hear you say something sweet to me. Come on, call me honey."

"Honey your ass!" Xander trampled the man's foot and so he let him go.

"Are you sick?" Chen Lei glared at him. "Tired of living?"

"Hey, watch your mouth." Jasper butt in. "You are getting too far."

Chen Lei shut the man an intimidating and suppressive gaze. "Whatever I do, it has nothing to do with you."

"What are you trying to say?" Jasper looked at the man fearlessly. "Are you trying to pull a fight?"

The two threw a sharp gaze to each other.

Xander hurriedly broke the tension between them. He patted Chen Lei's arm and said, "Oh my God, I'm sorry for disturbing you guys. There's a huge mosquito biting your arm. So scary. I helped you kill it. You know, the world is dangerous nowadays. Even a single bite of a mosquito can cause you death. What do you think?"

"Where's the mosquito?" Chen Lei checked his arm but before he could have a close look at the place where Xander hit, Xander threw the shirt on his head, covering his face.

"Enough. Don't look at it. It's already gone. Besides, you are dangerous than the mosquito."

"What did you say?"

Jasper hold his laughter.

Xander shook his mind. "I said change your clothes right now if you don't want to get sick."

Chen Lei removed the shirt on his face and looked at Xander with a frown on his forehead.

Xander smiled stiffly at him. "Sorry, I didn't do that on purpose."

"Where did you get this? From your size, it's impossible that this is yours."

"I used to wear large and loose clothes. But that one in your hand is from a friend. He left it here and so I kept it."

"A friend? Is he a male or a female."

"I— wait? Why do you have so many questions? What does it have to do with you?"

"Answer me." Chen Lei's gaze darkened and Xander suddenly felt an extraordinary chillness running down his spine.

Xander was not afraid of Chen Lei but he couldn't help but feel the sudden change of temperature of the room. As if the room was suddenly placed inside the freezer. "I—"

The tension between the two was broken when Jasper suddenly spoke after a slitting sound was heard in the room. "Oh my, I ruined the clothes."

"What happened?" Xander ignored Chen Lei and attended Jasper.

"The shirt doesn't fit me and I accidentally tore it. I'm sorry."

"What to do? I don't have spare clothes now."

Jasper smiled. "It's fine. Letting me take shelter in this house is already a big favor for me. I'm a man. I can just leave my upper body bare until my shirt dries. We are both men, I think that's not inappropriate, right?"

Xander, "Of course—”

Chen Lei, "Not right."

The two exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"Why?" Jasper asked, frowning.

Arthur and Jasper looked at Chen Lei abnormally, especially Xander. Though he was a man in clothes, only the two of them knew apart from God that he was a real woman.

"You don't deserve to talk to me." Chen Lei threw the shirt to Jasper rudely.

"You— are you looking for a fight?”

Xander sprinted to Jasper's sides and consoled him. " That… Lieutenant, don't mind this man. He is just moody and has some problem in his brain. If he is being rude to you, please, don't take it to heart."

"You actually apologise to him?" Chen Lei said.

"Shut up!" Xander scolded him. "Go over there and stop pulling a fight. I'll go look for something to eat."

"You can't go. I'm cold. You stay and keep me warm."
