Lu Yizhou’s heart felt like it had plunged straight into an ice cellar, so cold that he sucked in a painful breath. There was nothing more agonizing than looking into those eyes he was so familiar with, only to see nothing but alienation and estrangement. That was why Lu Yizhou worked so hard to gather his lover’s consciousness. Just so that he could see those eyes lit up with smiles once they landed on him.
For a moment, he could not breathe. Not even the fervent fans and roof-breaking screams could move him. He truly resembled an ice statue as he stood there. They were clearly separated by less than twenty meters yet somehow, Lu Yizhou felt as though there was a rift he could not get through.
How...?
They were still in the same world so how could Ellen not recognize him? Had something gone wrong after he told Ellen to kill Baines last time? Or... could this Ellen was not the Ellen he had met in the previous quest? Countless possibilities flashed through his mind. His eyes never strayed from his lover, watching him look away and pose under the cameraman’s guide. Smiling, raising a brow, frowning, talking with the female actress beside him whom Lu Yizhou faintly recalled as ’Goddess Lingling’.
Just then, a fan’s dreamy sigh entered his ear and pierced through the fog in his brain. "Goodness, they’re like a match made in heaven. Isn’t there a scandal that Supermodel Ellen is chasing after our Goddess Lingling?"
"Well, if it’s him, then I can reluctantly concede. After all, he’s so gorgeous!"
"Don’t you think that his face is too androgynous? It’s like looking at a pair of women posing side by side!"
Sourness crept into the corner of Lu Yizhou’s heart, squeezing right between his ribcage. Mine mine mine, his mind clamoured, that man is mine! He clenched his fists and used the pain to sober himself up lest he did something stupid like breaking through the bodyguards’ formation and kidnapping his lover away so other people would not be able to ogle him anymore.
He was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He had also gone through this when he saw the bug Regius coming out of Moshe’s room fresh from the shower. Jealousy, he distantly noticed. Yet for some reason, the sting was more unbearable today.
