How laughable. There's no good reason for him to like him — he doesn't even really know who he is! Ryan behaves differently with people he's essentially being paid to interact with. He's patient, tolerant, even kind at times. If He Ming met him under any other circumstances, he would almost certainly hate him...

What an unpleasant thought.

Well, there's no reason he can't have a little fun with him in the meantime. He'll teach him why he shouldn't be so careless with his heart, and he won't even charge. Ryan twists to face him properly, delicately resting one of his hands on He Ming's upper thigh. Since he never returns all those casual touches, he's pretty sure he'll take notice.

"And how would you help me, exactly?"
