(127: Here we go again)

Jiang Cheng walked inside his shop with milk tea, he handed one to A-Qing and to Mianmian without saying anything and went straight to his office with a small hum.

"That was creepy" A-Qing said looking at her milk tea.

"If what it takes for him to be this thoughtful we should have set him up to someone before" Mian Mian said and shrugged.

"Nah.. I doubt he would pay attention but hey its a nice change, we got free milktea after he got a boyfriend what more after sex we might get pizza"

The two employees chatted outside for the meantime since the shop is empty.

Jiang Cheng on the other hand settled on his seat, half way through finishing his milk tea when his phone vibrated.

A message from Lan Xichen.

(128: Demanding)

Jiang Cheng chuckled before placing his phone down and turned on his computer. It's not like Lan Xichen is the only one who is distracted.

After all Jiang Cheng couldn't stop thinking about him as well. He took a sip from his milk tea before hearing the notification on his phone

Jiang Cheng chuckled, seriously it wasn't even a few minutes before Jiang Cheng set his phone down.

Though when he looked at the notification it was from a unknown number.

Jiang Cheng immediately blocked the number.

What kind of sick asshole!

He placed his phone down and shook his head ignoring the text as he finally focused on his work. The earlier he is done the fastest he could see Lan Xichen later.

(128: Date)

(129: cozy)

"Here is your blueberry cheesecake"

JC moved the other plates to give space on the new treat however when his eyes landed on the server he blinked.

"Xue Yang?"

"Oh hey Jiang Cheng" XY greeted back tucking the tray under his arm.

"Didn't knew you work here"

"Surprise, surprise then" the younger male chuckled before glancing at the two of them, he suddenly stared at LXC "Ah.. Did you find your phone?"

"Phone?" JC raised a brow.

"He lost his phone a month ago or so and went here if we saw it.." XY shrugged.

"I haven't found it, I just bought a new one instead" LXC smiled.

"Okay.. Well enjoy your... Date" He made a small smirk before leaving their table.

(129: XueYang)

(130: the stalking)

(131: No morr milktea)

The next morning followed the same routine for JC however this time, LXC is already part of that routine and for the first time in his life there is something more excitement, seeing the man he likes, talking to LXC became part of his mornings.

This month is starting to get busy as well, since his sister and JZX finally settled their wedding date and he is discussing the planning with his siblings.

It would have been perfect if he weren't receiving random texts messages from different unknown numbers.

(132: Sibs GC)

(133: Surprise)

"Surprise" LXC greeted after JC opened the door raising a paperbag with a smile on his face.

"How long have you been standing here?" JC asked and blinked "You could have just come in"

"I wanted to make sure I am not disturbing you" Lan Xichen smiled before leaning down to kiss him. It was a small peck on the lips but it was enough to surprise JC, sporting a flushed cheeks before dragging the man inside his office.

"Why did you suddenly visited" JC asked and Lan Xichen reached out to stroke his cheek.

"I missed you... Ah the things you do to me, you have no idea" he murmured before showing him the jar of treat. "I say we start today by fixing your mood?"

"Give me that" JC chuckled and they both sat down on the small couch, it was meant for only one person but they managed to squeeze together.

LXC wrapped his arms around his waist "This is nice" he murmured.

"This Is nice" JC gestured at the jar before opening one.

"More nicer than me?"

"More nicer than you" JC said and Lan XiChen feigned a hurt expression holding his chest.

"I am hurt A-Cheng, why does sweets comes first before your boyfriend?"

"Cause sweets dont complain, it lifts my mood, its tasty and I like eating it" JC said shoving a spoonful of the cake.

"Dont you want to be eat your boyfriend too?"

"Ghk--?!" JC choked on his food.

"But really what's bothering you?" he smiled and looked at JC who set his jar on his lap.

"Ive been recieving random text messages, they are increasing these past few days and Im deciding if I should change my number" JC frowned.

"Let me see"

LXC took the phone JC handed and he checked the messages with a frown "You haven't given your number to anyone?"

"No, I dont. I only give it to my close friends or clients." JC took another spoonful of his treat.

"You better change your number love, better to be safe"

JC nodded and LXC smiled placing his phone on the table as he glanced at JC.Leaning down to kiss his jaw before taking a bite of the offered cake.

"No work?"

"Hn..Im done, I already submitted my work to A-Yao and just waiting for the go signal,or if there is anything to change"

"Thats great then, can't wait for it" JC smiled at him and continued to finish his blueberry cheesecake.

"I will personally give you a copy" LXC murmured and once again pecked his jaw before he started kissing his way down to JC's neck.

"Boss there is---oh shit!" A-Qing stared at them for a while before shutting the door. "Sorry!" she yelled and JC's face is fuming in embarrassment.

"DONT YOU KNOW HOW TO KNOCK?!" JC yelled.

"DONT YOU KNOW HOW TO LOCK?!" A-Qing yelled back before strutting away. "My eyes!!!"

(134: new number)

(135: bad friends)

(136: How?)

(137: Help!)

(138: well fck)

JC is in the middle of discussing with a client. Thankfully this man seemed to know exactly what he wanted so it was easier for him to come up with a few designs to show.

However the only problem is this person seems to be.. Hitting on him.

Not a first time that a few clients or customers wanted to get his attention but this one seems to be really eerie and persistent.

While he spread out the sketches he made the man dared to run his hand on his arm which JC immediately pulled away.

"I am not interested, I already have a boyfriend and I am working, now if you cant respect that the door is open.. See yourself out" he pointed at the door hissing.

"Oh.. I apologise, I thought you are looking for someone, I mean thats what your profile said"

"What profile?" JC blinked, he was sure his social media acc does not indicate that.

"I meant this... Is this not you?" The man showed him his phone and JC scrolled through the 'profile'. The site seems to be for people looking for a quick romp and.. What the fuck?!

His information is here! Even his old number! That explains the random text messages he received, apart from that the photos... Most of them are something he haven't uploaded even the promotional videos and some private photos..

"I didn't make that! I.. Someone is using my information!" JC returned the phone, thankfully the man seemed to understand.

"I apologise then, I thought you were interested.. But if thats the case ill report the profile then and ask some people I know to do the same"

JC nodded and sighed "Thanks.."

After their meeting, JC slumped on his office chair and picked up his phone scrolling through that site he frowned.

(139: The site)

(140: Report this!)

(144: What's the option?)

(145: We decided)

(146: in preparation)

JC waited at the cafe, browsing through his phone he was approached by one of the waiters which happened to be Xue Yang.

"Just a chocalate float for now, Im waiting for someone" JC said.

"Ah, a date then?" XY smirked and JC frowned at that but didn't respond any further.

"By the way, the phone you had now is the same phone he lost that day"

"Is that so?" JC glanced at his phone.

"Also I saw your profile on a certain site.. I didn't know you were into that"

JC glared at him shifting on his chair "That was not me! Someone is using my profile!"

XY nodded "I see.. Well be careful, sometimes those who are the closest to you are the one lying to your face"

"What do you mean?"

"How well do you know your boyfriend? It's strange that when he lost his phone you got a new one of the same model"

JC frowned at this and he glanced at his phone "Why the fuck should I believe you?"

"Depends to you, Im just giving some advice" XY smirked before heading towards the counter and JC glared at him. He glanced at the phone once again as he back tracked on what happened - -

since he got the device a few months ago.

Nothing changed exept Lan Xichen's sudden appearance, the man never approached him before when they are in the same events so why did he suddenly approached him that night?

Also that last conversation they had when he sent those photos.

JC shook his head.

No, nope he is thinking too much about it. XY is just playing with his head right now he should just wait for Lan Xichen..

He sighed and looked up when the bell on the cafe rang and Lan XiChen waved at him.

That's right, this man would never lie to him.

Lan Xichen arrived and went to give him a quick peck on the cheeks before he sat down.

They went about their usual order and talked about work. Lan Xichen sharing to him some details when his book will be published and Jiang Cheng showed him some sample sketches for JYL gown.

All in all it was going well, he even found himself enjoying, forgetting about how tired he was today, just seeing LXC face is enough.

"Ill just go to the washroom" Lan Xichen stood up and Jiang Cheng nodded finishing his food.

Suddenly Lan Xichen's phone started vibrating,seeing the name on it he raised a brow.Meng Yao is calling, perhaps it's something important since Lan Xichen mentioned to him about the release of his book and the upcoming events for it Meng Yao had been keeping tabs

He answered it

(147: phone call)

Jiang Cheng stared at the phone after Meng Yao ended the call, the wallpaper that greeted him is none other than the photo of himself. It made him flush slightly and his gaze shifted towards Xue Yang.

For some reason his words earlier repeated on his mind.

On second thoughts the wallpaper is the same photo that Lan Xichen sent him, a few days ago. Something that he haven't posted yet to any social media platform.

Jiang Cheng hovered his thumb over the gallery icon.

This is not right.. but he had to make sure.

Glancing at the direction of the restroom he pressed the icon, just a quick peek he thought, seeing that there isn't something suspicious he sighed in releif but another icon caught his attention, it was a photo of him and when Jiang Cheng clicked on that folder his eyes widened.

"What the fuck?" he scrolled through the photos and... Everything, every photo he had taken is there. Selfies, videos and some private photos where he expose more of himself when he is in the mood. "What the hell.."

"Sorry, there was a line in the restroom it seems that there are some problems with the other stalls--" Lan Xichen trailed off when he saw Jiang Cheng holding his phone.

"What the fuck is this?!" Jiang Cheng hissed, showing him the phone.

"Jiang Cheng let me explain.."

"What the hell Xichen some of these are few months ago!..." Jiang Cheng placed the phone down and frowned before taking out his new phone.

"Im sorry, It wasn't my intention I swear! When Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang--"

"They knew?!"

"I--"

"I cant believe this" Jiang Cheng picked his phone and stood up from his seat.

"Wait! A-Cheng!" Lan Xichen grabbed his phone and followed Jiang Cheng outside the cafe. "Please listen to me first!"

"Dont follow me! I swear I will--" Jiang Cheng growled.

"Is it you?.."

"What?" Lan Xichen blinked.

"Using my photos?" Jiang Cheng looked at him, hurt is very evident on his face.

"No! Gods! Jiang Cheng I would never!" Lan Xichen reached out to him but Jiang Cheng slapped his hand and walked away.
