Stop Pretending, Childhood Friend. Okay?

I kept my relationship with one childhood friend a secret from another for two years.

Just as I was getting ready to make it public, he dragged me along to watch the drama unfold.

“Can you believe Zhou Mufeng? He’s been dating someone behind our backs!”

My heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, I saw the man who’d been wrapped up in my arms that very morning playing a game with the girl beside him, looking thoroughly amused.

“You lost. Your punishment is to kiss me.”

The girl’s face turned bright red.

Just as they were about to kiss, I snapped out of it and knocked over the nearby drinks table.
