Coddle Me

The aloof patron top x the sweet, darling little-star bottom - Ji Yiran went to a friend's birthday party once. Though he wore a handsome, frosty expression, his distinguished status still couldn't stop people from trying to strike up a conversation with him. He wasn't the type to put up with it. When he got tired of being pestered, he said to the unruly young star beside him, "Could you let me have some peace and quiet?" The young star jumped up in fright and left, making the atmosphere painfully awkward. Meng Xianyu didn't know he was the last to arrive. By the time he got there, almost every seat in the private room was taken. He walked over to Ji Yiran and asked cautiously, "May I sit here?" Ji Yiran frowned, thinking, Who is this clueless guy? - Meng Xianyu had been in the industry for two and a half years, but his career remained stuck in a stagnant, neither-famous-nor-obscure state. His agent was beside himself with worry and practically dragged him to the birthday party of some young master, telling him to be quick on his feet. Meng Xianyu arrived late. There was nowhere left to sit. Anxious, he looked around and spotted an empty seat in the corner beside a man who looked young and handsome. He thought, Which agency just signed this new male star? He's gorgeous. Without thinking, he headed over. - Yet another deluded young star was trying to hit on Ji Yiran, and everyone in the private room was waiting to laugh at Meng Xianyu. But after Meng Xianyu sat down beside Ji Yiran, he didn't say a word. Ji Yiran waited for ages, glancing down at him. Meng Xianyu remained perfectly quiet. Somewhat surprised, Ji Yiran turned to look at him. He held his gaze for a full three seconds, then asked, "Would you like to leave with me?"
