Chapter 89: CH 80.1

Huo Chengchun clutched his chest while Li Yalei rubbed his temples. Finally, the assistant from Li Yalei’s car came down and helped both of them into the back seat of the car. Shen Fangyu glanced at them and sat in the passenger seat.

The car was silent all the way. The assistant was trembling as he drove, feeling that the expressions of the two people in the back seat looked like one was going to kill someone, and the other looked like they were going to a funeral. Only the person in the passenger seat had a smug smile on his face.

Finally, the assistant dropped the three of them off at a high-end restaurant that had been pre-booked, and quickly left the scene before the boss could speak up.

In the elegantly decorated room, Huo Chengchun’s top-notch red wine was placed in the center. Zhan Cheng, who had come earlier to watch the show, looked at the three people who entered the room with a disdainful expression, and his wounds seemed to have healed a lot.

“Traitor!” Huo Chengchun was the first to attack.

Shen Fangyu drank a sip of fragrant fish soup and calmly retorted, “Who is the real traitor? Who swore to be my lifelong good brother in college, but turned around and chased after my arch-enemy behind my back?”

Li Yalei, who usually had a suave demeanor, couldn’t hold back and cursed, “Do you fucking know that Jiang Xu is your arch-enemy?”

“Yeah,” Huo Chengchun sneered, “I’ve never seen arch-enemies get along so well before.”

“What does Jiang Xu see in you?” Li Yalei asked unwillingly. “Didn’t he dislike you the most in college?”

“Fighting is a form of affection. If he dislikes me the most, it means he cares about me the most,” Shen Fangyu said with a smug look on his face. “It means he has put me in the most special position.”

“You’re being unreasonable!” Huo Chengchun was so angry that he called the waiter to open the bottle of wine and poured a big glass for Shen Fangyu directly. “You won’t leave today until you finish these bottles of wine.”

“Jiang Xu is waiting for me at home,” Shen Fangyu said. “I can’t go back too late.”

“… “Huo Chengchun said, “Let’s duel.”

“I won’t duel with you,” Shen Fangyu said with a teasing tone, “I’m injured, Jiang Xu will feel bad.”

“For fuck’s sake,” Li Yalei said, “Can you stop talking about Jiang Xu all the time? Will you die if you don’t show off your affection?”

“Li Yalei,” Huo Chengchun put his hands on his hips and looked for help, “help me drink to him.”

Li Yalei immediately poured himself a glass of red wine, clinking glasses with Shen Fangyu. He fiercely shouted, “I’ll drink first, you’re not a man if you don’t drink!”

Shen Fangyu smiled, tilted his head back, and downed the wine in one gulp, and Huo Chengchun refilled his glass. “If we don’t get you drunk tonight, don’t even think about going back,” he said.

“Take it easy, guys,” the astute Zhang Cheng fanned the flames on the side. “If you really get him drunk later and he calls Jiang Xu to pick him up, you’ll be even more miserable.”

“It’s impossible!” Huo Chengchun retorted directly. “How could Jiang Xu come to pick up a drunkard? He hates alcohol the most.”

“Yeah!” Li Yalei, half-drunk, said, “I’ve known him for so many years, and he’s never had a drink.”

After drinking half a bottle of red wine, Shen Fangyu was also a bit tipsy. He raised one finger and shook it at the two of them, lightly saying, “He got drunk for the first time with me.”

“Damn it…”

When these words came out, Zhang Cheng felt as if he had heard the sound of two hearts breaking into pieces.

Perhaps his heart had already shattered into fragments, and he had lost his fighting spirit.

The two who were originally preparing to get someone drunk ended up consoling each other with alcohol, and in the end, they seemed to be more intoxicated than Shen Fangyu.

Shen Fangyu even pointed and commented with great experience, “I advise you guys to drink less. It’s easy for two rivals in love to get into trouble when drinking together.”

The table was a mess with glasses and dishes after the drunken feast. The two rich second-generation men who were acting high and mighty earlier were now completely miserable, one hugging Zhang Cheng and crying, the other grabbing Shen Fangyu and singing “Heartbreak Alliance” in a mournful howl.

Shen Fangyu pushed him away indifferently, half drunk and half sober, retorting, “I didn’t have a heartbreak… Don’t include me.”

After the alcohol finally metabolized, heartbroken Li Yalei took out his phone and called his assistant, “Xiao Liu, come pick me up.”

Meanwhile, Huo Chengchun belched after drinking, and in front of Shen Fangyu, he messaged his driver, “Uncle Wang, come pick me up.”

The two rich second-generation men looked at Shen Fangyu at the same time. Their last stubbornness was shown in their confidence in their wealth.

Shen Fangyu spread his hands, “I don’t have a driver, I might have to call a cab to go back.”

The two who finally won a round exchanged triumphant glances, and then Shen Fangyu’s phone rang.

The hands-free was not turned off, and Jiang Xu’s slightly cold voice was clear, but it carried a tenderness that the two of them had never heard before.

“Why haven’t you come back yet?”

Shen Fangyu’s voice was a bit muddled, “They insisted on getting me drunk.”

“Are you drunk?”

“Mmm… I’m not drunk.”

The person opposite sighed, “Wait for me, I’ll come pick you up.”

Shen Fangyu tapped his nose and smiled as he stared blankly at his phone, “Okay.”

Li Yalei, Huo Chengchun: “!?”

They seemed to understand what it means to win a game but lose the world.

Zhang Cheng covered his stomach and laughed incessantly, feeling completely healed. He crazily exclaimed, “Hey, you guys don’t believe that Jiang Xu will come to pick him up, but he actually offered to come pick him up.”

Li Yalei, Huo Chengchun: “Shut up!”

When Jiang Xu came in, he was first choked by the smell of alcohol. The scene he saw was Li Yalei and Huo Chengchun fighting each other, complaining about each other’s incompetence, and letting Shen Fangyu take the beauty home in the end. Zhang Cheng was recording a video for them on the side, cheering them on like a referee.

Meanwhile, Shen Fangyu was holding a glass of red wine with a subtle smile on his face. His peach blossom eyes were especially charming due to drunkenness, carrying a sentimental and flirtatious meaning.

Although he was already very familiar with Shen Fangyu’s face, when Jiang Xu pushed open the door and Shen Fangyu leisurely looked over, his heart skipped a beat.

He suppressed the fluctuating emotions, waved away the smell of alcohol with a frown, and took a few steps forward.

Shen Fangyu immediately stood up, waved to the two who were still fighting, and said, “I’m leaving, goodbye!”

The two followed his gaze and looked at Jiang Xu. Li Yalei rubbed his eyes vigorously, while Huo Chengchun fell to the ground. Jiang Xu glanced at them and greeted them politely, “Long time no see.”

“Jiang Xu,” Huo Chengchun hugged his heart and said, “Did he win you over because I was not around and was abroad?” He regretted, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone abroad.”

Li Yalei was even more ruthless, slapping his chest and assuring Jiang Xu, “If he treats you badly, you can come to me anytime. Half of my family’s water plant will always be reserved for you.”

“You guys should sort things out yourselves… don’t try to poach in my corner.” Shen Fangyu embraced Jiang Xu’s shoulder, boldly saying, “Jiang Xu and I don’t care about your water plant.”

Jiang Xu was too lazy to argue with the drunken men. He politely said goodbye to the other three, and directly took the drunken Shen Fangyu out of the private room.

Fortunately, Shen Fangyu still had some sense of propriety. He didn’t drink to the point of passing out, and he didn’t need anyone’s support so they returned home steadily.

Jiang Xu went out in the middle of the night, and even though he took a taxi, he still had a thin layer of sweat on his body. After Shen Fangyu finished showering and lay down on the bed, Jiang Xu took his clothes and went to shower.

When he returned to the bedroom, he thought that Shen Fangyu was already asleep, so he deliberately moved lightly, afraid of waking him up. But as soon as he came over, Shen Fangyu suddenly opened his eyes.

“Can’t sleep?” Jiang Xu asked.

“Mm,” Shen Fangyu’s eyes were curved and bright, as if reflecting the stars in the sky. “I was just thinking about something.” He patted the place beside him, “Come, lie down.”

“Mmm,” Shen Fangyu’s eyes curved at the corners, shining brightly. He placed his hand on Jiang Xu’s small belly. “I don’t know why, but I feel really good.”

Jiang Xu, who had taken two showers in one night, was feeling a bit lazy and didn’t resist as Shen Fangyu lightly touched his pregnant stomach through the fabric of his clothes.

Jiang Xu had good skin, even through the layer of fabric, it felt smooth and warm in Shen Fangyu’s hand, fitting snugly against his palm with a gentle curve.

This interaction made Jiang Xu feel comfortable, with a sense of tranquility and warmth. He closed his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled lightly. Under the light of the sleeping lamp, they cast a fine and soft shadow.

The room was quiet, with the steady sound of his lover’s breathing in his ears. Jiang Xu’s mind was empty and calm, until his lips suddenly felt a warmth.
