After My Confession Went Wrong, I Couldn't Get Away

[Next story: After I Visited the Wrong Grave, the Grave's Owner Set His Sights on Me]

Qin Han and Nie Lei had been playing games together for three years. They weren't a couple, but they might as well have been. On the day Qin Han decided to confess, Nie Lei suddenly told him his biological sex and gently turned down his confession.

Just after he was rejected, Qin Han was attacked in an alley. After turning into a ghost, he was utterly confused.

So what if Nie Lei was a man?

So what if Qin Han wasn't human anymore?

How could three years of feelings just disappear?

So he traveled a great distance to find Nie Lei, determined to get an explanation.

He found him, all right.

He just ended up getting himself tangled up in the process.

Looking at the younger man who seemed calm and unbothered on the surface, but had apparently been planning to devour him whole behind his back, Qin Han fell into deep thought.

Qin Han: I'm not really human, but when you get vicious, you're a real monster!

Nie Lei: Oh. If I'd known, why bother pretending to be a gentleman?

Qin Han: ???

The next day,

Qin Han couldn't help clutching his aching lower back, regretting everything.

It turned out those three years of feelings had been wasted after all. ToT!

Blurb for the next story, After I Visited the Wrong Grave, the Grave's Owner Set His Sights on Me:

Ever since Zhou Ye was in a car accident, he has suffered from an eye condition. Apart from sensing light sources, he is basically blind.

He thought he would spend his life idling away in the old family home, a blind and useless man. But after the housekeeper who cared for him took him to the cemetery to visit his parents' graves on Qingming Festival, strange things began happening in his world.

For example, at night, he would often hear faint footsteps by his bed.

The blanket he kicked off the bed in the middle of the night would be neatly draped over him the next morning.

When he desperately searched for his cane, the next moment it would mysteriously appear at his right hand.

And, even stranger, whenever he woke from a dream around midnight, he could always make out a peculiar figure sitting elegantly on a sofa not far away, staring at him.

Faced with all these strange occurrences, Zhou Ye was close to falling apart.

He was blind, for goodness' sake. How could he possibly see anything, let alone that figure?

He figured something unclean must have gotten into the house.

So Zhou Ye started frantically seeking help from the outside world.

What do you do when something nasty sets its sights on you? Asking online. This is urgent!

Jiang Nian, standing beside him: "..."

He'd like to see what Zhou Ye could possibly do to get rid of him.

After repeatedly failing to get help, Zhou Ye decided to run away.

But after one failure after another, he realized that with his poor eyesight, he couldn't seem to go anywhere but stay in this old house.

When night fell, Zhou Ye lay on the floor in despair. The cold hands behind him once again crept silently around his waist.

At the same time, a familiar, teasing voice sounded by his ear: "A Ye, go on, keep running. I've got plenty of ways to find you."
