Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

Gellert narrowed his eyes, a dangerous gleam in them.

"What do you mean, Tom? Do you want to terminate our cooperation?"

"I just hope that next time you bring him out, you'll at least let me know."

Gellert snorted.

"Isn't it that your ambition is growing, and you feel that you can completely control him and don't need me anymore? You want to possess him completely."

Tom was silent, but Gellert sneered.

"After all, we are all the same kind of people. How can I not know what you are thinking? You'd better consider the consequences of doing this, Tom Riddle."

Tom's eyes flashed red.

“Are you threatening me?”

“I’m just stating the facts.”

"Okay, then let's take a good look. You will suffer the consequences if you do this."

The conversation between the two ended unhappily.

Ling Bai didn't know about this, but even if he knew he would just smile.

He knew very well that the reason Tom and Gellert could live in peace was because of him.

But now he is imprisoned here, and he seems to be under their control, which will breed more greed in their hearts.

So it is normal to have disagreements.

Gellert went back to wash up and prepared to accompany Ling Bai, but when he returned to the basement again, Tom was already there before him.

Gellert's smile froze.

"It seems I came at the wrong time"

"You're obviously a little late."

Tom didn't give in to Gellert at all; the conversation between the two of them just now had already created a gap between them.

The already unstable relationship became even more shaky.

Ling Bai glanced at the two of them. Although he didn't know what happened between them, he could still smell the strong smell of gunpowder.

"If you want to have a fight, go outside and have it"

Ling Bai's cold voice was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the fire that was about to burn.

The flame went out instantly.

The two men looked at each other and stopped talking.

"Then I'll come and accompany you tomorrow"

Gellert blinked at Ling Bai, as if the tense atmosphere just now was just an illusion.

Ling Bai hummed calmly.

Although his attitude seemed no different from before, Gellert could clearly feel the boy softening.

Gellert glanced at Tom, feeling somewhat gloating.

He wondered meanly if Tom would go through the same situation as he had before.

Being rejected, rejected and hurt by the one you love.

Gellert turned and left, and Tom's eyes flashed red.

"I saw you eat a lot of dumplings tonight. Do you like them? If you do, I will learn to make them next time."

Ling Bai sneered.

"How dare I trouble you, sir? After all, your current status is completely different from before. You should just focus on your own affairs."

There was a flash of disappointment in Tom's eyes.

"You know, I do all this because of you."

Ling Bai sneered, his smile full of sarcasm.

"Really? Because of me..."

"Of course I want you to have a higher status."

"What's the point of having a high status? You are still locked in this birdcage and even your human rights are taken away from you."

Tom felt a little pain in his temple. He wanted to explain something, but when he opened his mouth he didn't know what to explain.

"Tom, if you still want me to not be sarcastic every time I see you, then try to speak less or appear less in front of me."

Tom looked at the indifferent person on the bed, but his face merged with the person in his mind who had sweetly called him father since childhood.

Tom suddenly reached out and grabbed Ling Bai's wrist.

"So you have been pretending to be good since you were a child, right? Just to get what you want."

Ling Bai lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist which had begun to turn red without saying a word.

"Why don't you say anything? You can be nice to everyone, but not to me?"

Tom's hands unconsciously increased their strength, and suddenly there was a click, and Tom's body suddenly stiffened.

He lowered his head to look at the wrist he was holding, which was now glaringly red.

The red to purple color is shocking to look at.

He hurriedly loosened his hand, but his wrist fell down as if it had lost its support.

Like a piece of jade that was broken into pieces.

Tom hurriedly raised his head to look at Ling Bai, and saw his pale and bloodless face and beads of sweat on his forehead.

"I……"

"Are you satisfied?"

Ling Bai's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was in great pain.

"I, I'll go get the potion."

Tom frantically tried to find a healing potion, but just as he took a step, a cold voice behind him stopped him.

"Tom Riddle, can you tell whether your feelings for me are love or obsession? If you can't tell, then just let me go. Why torture yourself?"

Tom suddenly felt a sore nose and his vision became blurred.

"I'll go get the medicine first."

Ling Bai looked at his wrist which was feeling waves of piercing pain and sighed helplessly.

"It seems that without spiritual power, I am no different from an ordinary person. This broken wrist is really painful."

Tom was very fast, but his hands were still shaking when he opened the medicine bottle.

"Drink first"

Ling Bai didn't refuse and drank it.

An indescribable taste filled his mouth and he suddenly thought of his beloved Professor Snape.

As expected, his dear professor was the best. He researched some sweet potions for him. Although the taste might not be that good, it was easier to swallow than potions like this one.

"I'll have someone fix it for you."

Tom kept his head down the whole time and didn't dare to look at Ling Bai.

Of course he knew he was wrong, but what else could he do?

The scene of Gellert confronting him today was still vivid in his mind.

Tom suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Bai.

"Can you tell me the answer to that question?"

His voice was rarely mixed with some prayers that he himself was not aware of.

"What kind of answer do you want?"

"Have you never been attracted to me from the beginning?"

Ling Bai was silent for a few seconds. In this silent atmosphere, Tom could feel the dull pain in his heart.

Just when he felt he was about to suffocate and couldn't breathe, the person opposite him finally spoke.

"No"

These two simple words seemed to be the last straw for Tom.

He looked at the person on the bed with some disbelief, but when he saw his pale face, his own face also turned pale.

"I'm sorry, I didn't control myself. If you're angry, I..."
