Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Why are you sleeping so close to the edge?" Qin Bing leaned against the pillow, eyeing the ill at ease Hao Jian.

"I... I'm not used to sleeping with someone else." Hao Jian hastily made up an excuse.

"I know, it's also my first time sleeping in the same bed with someone else." Qin Bing said with a cheeky smile, feeling that having a friend was actually quite nice.

"Should I just go sleep on the sofa outside?"

Hao Jian was about to get up, as this really wouldn't do; to spend the night with a beauty like Qin Bing, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

But Qin Bing grabbed him and said, "I know this adaptation process isn't easy, but I'm learning to adjust, so I hope you can do the same."

She really thought that Hao Jian was just uncomfortable.

With that, Hao Jian had no more excuses to leave.

At this moment, however, Qin Bing disregarded Hao Jian's astonished expression, hugged him tightly, snuggled comfortably into his arms, and, after a moment's hesitation, Hao Jian embraced her back.

Yet, in the middle of the night, Hao Jian suddenly felt Qin Bing shivering in his arms. By the moonlight, he saw the helpless and aggrieved look on her face.

"Dad. Mom." Suddenly, Hao Jian heard her soft murmur and saw the tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

Hao Jian could imagine the blow Qin Bing must have suffered upon learning about her parents' death, being left all alone in the world so abruptly; such a loss was probably unbearable for any child.

Hao Jian heaved a deep sigh in his heart, held Qin Bing even tighter, and gently said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Bing's body tensed up, her eyes snapping open, and she looked up at Hao Jian in astonishment.

Hao Jian, with a faint smile, patted her shoulder and said, "Go to sleep."

Right then, Qin Bing felt her heart being filled with an inexplicable sense of warmth and happiness.

Though her parents had passed away, at least she still had this person by her side.

The two of them spent the night like that, but in the morning, Hao Jian was awoken by a sharp scream, and Qin Bing was nowhere to be found.

Hao Jian rushed out only to see Qin Bing standing there in a daze. Before he could ask what was wrong, he saw a person, or more precisely a woman, sitting on the sofa.

Hao Jian's face collapsed: "How did you get here?"

"You know each other?" Qin Bing was stunned, Hao Jian actually knew this intruder?

"She's... also a friend of mine." Hao Jian said with a wry smile.

"Friend?" Qin Bing was even more confused. Why would his friend come to my house?

And behave as if she were in her own home—how did she even find my limited edition teacup, and where did she get the tea leaves?

Hearing this, Shu Ya elegantly set down her teacup and countered, "What, am I not allowed to come?"

Last night, the more she thought about it, the more it seemed off. Hao Jian, the wolf, turning into a lamb and staying put? Then, worried, she couldn't sleep all night and eventually couldn't resist coming to look for Hao Jian.

"That's not what I meant." Hao Jian almost burst into tears, wasn't everything settled nicely yesterday? How did this woman change her mind midway?

"What do you mean 'that's not what you meant'? It's exactly what you meant!" Qin Bing glared at Shu Ya and said:

"Is it really okay for you to break into someone else's home without permission like this? Even though you and Hao Jian are friends, we shouldn't know each other, right?"

```

Upon hearing this, Shu Ya shifted her gaze towards Qin Bing and said, "Did you guys sleep together?"

"What?" Qin Bing was stunned. What did she mean by that?

"Yes, we did," Hao Jian hurriedly interjected. "But nothing happened, you know, I'm GAY, so even if we slept together, nothing could have happened, haha, hahaha."

At that moment, there were ten thousand Caonimas running through Hao Jian's mind, and even he felt like he was being a clown.

Meanwhile, Qin Bing was looking at him, already showing some doubt.

Seeing that Qin Bing didn't contradict Hao Jian, Shu Ya finally began to believe what Hao Jian had said the night before and nervously shifted the topic, saying:

"Actually, I came to invite Hao Jian to attend an art exhibition by a master potter."

"If you wanted to invite him, you could have just called. Did you really need to come to my house? And how exactly did you get in?" Qin Bing asked somewhat angrily.

"Your door wasn't locked, so I just came in," Shu Ya said, lowering her head, feeling even more guilty.

"The door wasn't locked?"

Qin Bing looked at the already battered doorknob with an array of expressions.

"That wasn't me." Shu Ya shamelessly lied. Indeed, it wasn't her who had done it—it was done at her command by her employees.

Qin Bing was blatantly disbelieving and asked, "How did you know he was at my place?"

"What a joke. As long as it is within Hua City, there isn't anyone I, Shu Ya, can't find," Shu Ya said proudly. How hard could it be for her to find someone?

Suddenly, Hao Jian had a bad feeling. Does this mean he was truly living out the song Master Xing sang, "I have no freedom, I lost my freedom, my heart aches, tears flow?"

From now on, he wouldn't even be able to cheat in peace.

"Let's go, Hao Jian. We'll go to the pottery art exhibition together," Shu Ya said to Hao Jian.

What pottery art exhibition? That was pure nonsense, something she had overheard from her subordinates and was now using as an excuse.

"You're not allowed to go!" That's when Qin Bing suddenly pulled Hao Jian back.

Seeing this, Shu Ya got angry as well: "Why can't he go? He is your friend, not your boyfriend, and don't forget, he is GAY!"

"Yeah, you said he's my friend. What's wrong with me asking him to keep me company? On the other hand, you barged into someone else's home early in the morning, babbling nonsense and now you even want to take him away. Is that appropriate?" Qin Bing retorted with sarcasm.

It's not just couples who get jealous—friends do too.

When a close friend of yours suddenly ignores you and chuckles and laughs with others, you'll also feel uncomfortable inside, and that was exactly Qin Bing's mood right now.

And the jealousy she felt was clearly of a different sort than Shu Ya's. Shu Ya was genuinely worried that if Hao Jian spent too much time with Qin Bing, sparks might fly. She had been concerned even before she arrived, and after seeing Qin Bing's looks, she became even more worried.

This rascal, not modest at all, always surrounding himself with top-notch beauties.

"I've known Hao Jian for seven or eight years. How long have you known him? Can't you see which is more important?" Shu Ya sneered.

Hao Jian was stunned. Seven or eight years? He was blushing at how audaciously she was bragging.

"What's the use of having known each other for a long time? Friends who are as self-centered and arrogant as you, it wouldn't matter if they were gone," Qin Bing shot back.

"Stop arguing! The art exhibition, why don't we all go watch it together?" Hao Jian yelled.
