The Forced Kiss & The Slap"!!!!!!

The office had long since fallen silent.

Most of the employees had already left, leaving only the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional flicker of dim hallway lights. Shao You sat alone at his desk, finishing the last few documents that had piled up before finally shutting down his computer with a tired sigh.

He stretched his stiff shoulders, gathered his files, and slung his bag over one shoulder.

"Finally..."

As he stepped into the deserted corridor, his footsteps echoed softly against the polished floor.

Just as he reached the elevator—

A tall figure stepped into his path.

Shao You froze.

"...Sir?"

Standing directly in front of him was Sheng Feng.

His suit jacket was slightly wrinkled, his tie had been loosened, and the untouched coffee cup in his hand had long gone cold. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes burned with restrained anger.

The silence between them felt suffocating.

Throughout the entire day, one scene had refused to leave Sheng Feng's mind.

Lu Han laughing beside Shao You.

The two of them eating lunch together.

Lu Han naturally placing food onto Shao You's tray.

Shao You smiling—a smile Sheng Feng had rarely seen directed at anyone inside the company.

Most of all...

That laugh.

In the cafeteria, Lu Han had whispered something into Shao You's ear.

Shao You had laughed so brightly that several employees had turned to look.

Standing across the room with a coffee cup clenched tightly in his hand, Sheng Feng had watched everything.

The paper cup had nearly crumpled beneath his grip.

For the rest of the afternoon, every time he looked through the glass walls of his office, he caught Lu Han walking beside Shao You.

Talking.

Smiling.

Looking after him.

Each sight fueled the irritation growing inside him until it became something far more dangerous.

Now...

He couldn't ignore it anymore.

Shao You offered a polite smile.

"Sir? You're still here? I've finished my work. I'm heading home."

Instead of answering, Sheng Feng slowly stepped forward.

Once.

Then again.

Until only a small distance separated them.

His deep voice broke the silence.

"You're getting very close to that new guy..."

His eyes remained locked onto Shao You.

"The office is for work, not romance."

Shao You blinked in surprise before a faint frown appeared on his face.

"...Romance?"

He let out a quiet, disbelieving laugh.

"Sir..."

"Lu Han is my childhood friend."

"And what I do in my personal life is none of your business."

The words landed harder than Sheng Feng expected.

His jaw tightened.

Something inside him snapped.

He took one final step forward, forcing Shao You to instinctively take a step back until his shoulders lightly brushed against the cold wall.

The corridor suddenly felt much smaller.

Sheng Feng lowered his head slightly, his breathing uneven.

"None... of my business?"

His voice had become dangerously quiet.

"You spend your lunch with him."

"You smile at him."

"You leave work with him."

"And you're telling me that has nothing to do with me?"

Shao You met his gaze without backing down this time.

"I've never neglected my work."

"I've completed every task you've assigned."

"So I don't understand why you're questioning my personal relationships."

For a brief moment, neither of them spoke.

Only the sound of Sheng Feng's heavy breathing filled the empty hallway.

His eyes remained fixed on Shao You's face, as if searching for an answer he himself couldn't understand.

Why did seeing Shao You smile at someone else make his chest tighten?

Why did the thought of Lu Han standing beside him feel unbearable?

The jealousy he had tried to suppress all day had finally surfaced, raw and impossible to hide.

And for the first time...

Even Sheng Feng realized that what he was feeling was far more than simple irritation.

Sheng Feng (speaking sternly): "You're getting very close to that new guy, Lu Han. The office is for work, not romance."

Shao Yu narrowed his eyes, refusing to be intimidated.

"Sir, he is my childhood friend. And what I do in my personal life is none of your business."

Those words instantly ignited Sheng Feng's anger. His pride and jealousy completely took over. Without thinking, he grabbed Shao Yu's wrist and pinned him against the wall.

"Shao Yu—"

Before Shao Yu could react, Sheng Feng impulsively forced a kiss on him.

For a moment, Shao Yu froze in complete shock.

As soon as Sheng Feng pulled back slightly—

Snap!

A loud slap echoed through the empty corridor.

Sheng Feng's head turned to the side from the impact.

Shao Yu's eyes were filled with anger and tears as he glared at him.

"You are an arrogant and rude person! Learn to stay within your limits!"

Without waiting another second, Shao Yu picked up his file, pushed past Sheng Feng, and hurried away.

Silence fell over the corridor.

Sheng Feng remained standing there in complete shock, one hand resting on his burning cheek, silently watching Shao Yu disappear down the hallway.
