Ruan Qing looked at the wineglass in front of him, biting his
lower lip. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his slender figure
appeared somewhat helpless.
In the end, he tentatively reached out his hand and took the
wineglass.
Drinking alcohol naturally couldn’t be done while wearing a
mask.
Ruan Qing held the wine glass without moving for a while. It
seemed like he was hesitating, yet also seemed to be making a firm decision.
Finally, he took off his mask, closed his eyes, and gritted
his teeth as if determined to finish the drink in one go.
However, this was a strong alcohol, and except for heavy
drinkers, most people couldn’t handle downing it all at once.
At the moment the first sip entered his throat, the pungent
and bitter taste choked Ruan Qing, and the remaining wine couldn’t go down. It
flowed down his fair neck, ultimately spilling onto his clothes.
Ruan Qing disregarded all that. The alcohol was causing him
extreme discomfort. He coughed desperately, and his fair face turned red, as if
painted with a rose-like blush.
Originally, Gu Zhaoxi was somewhat indifferent, but when he
saw the misty gaze in front of him and the young man’s tormented, reddened
eyes, he froze.
He could even recall the scene just moments ago when the
young man tilted his head back, intending to finish the drink.
The youth’s bitten, rosy lips slightly parted, revealing
white teeth. Faintly, one could catch a glimpse of a pink tongue gently
touching the edge of the wineglass.
Though Gu Zhaoxi hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol, in that
instant, he seemed to smell the strong aroma of the wine.
A fine wine had been wasted, but Gu Zhaoxi, contrary to his
usual self, didn’t feel angry. Instead, he unconsciously looked at the young
man’s collar.
The wine had completely soaked the young man’s neckline. The
early autumn weather wasn’t particularly cold, and the youth’s clothing wasn’t
thick either. After being soaked by the wine, the clothes clung to his skin,
accentuating his fair and radiant complexion.
This scene wouldn’t evoke pity for the young man; instead, it
stirred up certain dark thoughts in people’s minds, making them want to tear
open his clothes and see what kind of scenery lay beneath.
Some even harbored more disturbing thoughts about wanting to
abuse him.
The young man probably hadn’t drunk alcohol before. He couldn’t
handle it well, and he seemed a bit intoxicated.
Gu Zhaoxi looked at the young man in front of him, whose eyes
seemed somewhat hazy, and involuntarily reached out his hand.
“What are you doing?” A voice filled with coldness and
hostility sounded behind Gu Zhaoxi, and the person grabbed Gu Zhaoxi’s
outstretched hand.
Gu Zhaoxi turned his head to look at the owner of the hand,
his tone unchanged. “Let go.”
Jiang Sinian looked at the man in front of him. His eyes were
narrowed, giving off a gloomy expression, as if he was a dangerous person in
disguise.
The tall man who had just led the way rushed over, bowing and
apologizing repeatedly, his voice tinged with fear. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gu. I
couldn’t stop him.”
But at this moment, no one paid attention to the tall man’s
apology.
Although they were in a noisy bar, the atmosphere in this
corner seemed to be tense, with two equally strong men confronting each other.
“Um, I feel uncomfortable. I... I want to go to the
restroom,” a soft voice caught the attention of the two men.
Ruan Qing’s voice didn’t sound as nervous and anxious as
usual; it seemed to be somewhat affectionate, as if he were coquettishly
speaking to someone.
It was evident that he was drunk.
Because when he got up from his seat, he staggered and almost
fell.
Both men instinctively reached out to support him, but their
hands accidentally touched each other, and Jiang Sinian looked at the other
person with a dark expression.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhaoxi still maintained his gentle and refined
demeanor, seemingly not angry about this small incident.
Gu Zhaoxi retracted his hand and glanced at the tall man
beside him.
The tall man immediately understood Gu Zhaoxi’s intention and
respectfully spoke to Ruan Qing, “Mr. Ye, please follow me.”
Ruan Qing’s eyes were blurred, but he seemed to be conscious
to some extent, obediently following the tall man, although he seemed to be
unsteady on his feet.
Clearly, he was heavily intoxicated.
Jiang Sinian instinctively wanted to follow them.
Gu Zhaoxi chuckled softly, waved his hand slightly, and a
group of men dressed in black suits instantly appeared, blocking Jiang Sinian’s
way.
Gu Zhaoxi picked up the cigarette by his ear and lit it. He
took a gentle puff, and the smoke blurred his face. He casually spoke, “Mr.
Jiang, it would be best not to ruin the rules here in Fengya Bar. Otherwise, I
might get angry.”
***
Ruan Qing followed the tall man into the restroom, swaying
unsteadily.
The bar was crowded, but the restroom was relatively quiet.
Ruan Qing cleaned the stains of alcohol from his clothes and
face at the sink.
Perhaps the alcohol had taken its toll, as Ruan Qing found it
somewhat difficult to stand upright. He could barely manage to stay stable by
leaning on the sink.
After finishing cleaning up, he looked at the tall man and
shyly whispered, “Um, can you wait for me? I want to use the restroom.”
The young man, with a flushed face from the alcohol, blushed
even more, his ears turning red. This unconsciously caught the tall man off
guard.
Seeing that the man didn’t respond, Ruan Qing asked again
with a touch of grievance, “Is it not allowed?”
Only then did the tall man regain his composure, his face
turning red. He stuttered, “Y-y-yes, I can. I’ll accompany you.”
The man’s voice was originally rough and fierce, but it
softened when he said those words, as if afraid of startling the young man.
Ruan Qing lowered his head, embarrassed, and said, “It’s
alright, I can manage on my own.”
“I’ll wait outside for you, then. I’ll be by the door. If you
need anything, just call me,” the tall man didn’t insist. This place was their
territory, and even if the young man wasn’t drunk, his pitiful and fragile
appearance didn’t seem capable of causing any trouble.
Ruan Qing obediently nodded and entered the restroom.
There were very few people inside. Ruan Qing opened the door
of the innermost stall and sat on the toilet.
His expression immediately changed from obedient to
indifferent as he tied his hair, which partially covered his eyes, with a
hairband.
He looked incredibly cute, like a little bird with its head
held high.
The youth’s appearance was stunning. When he tied up his
hair, it became difficult to distinguish between masculinity and femininity.
After Ruan Qing tied up his hair, he took off his coat and
wore it inside out. The originally dark-colored clothes now appeared light and
couldn’t be seen as inside-out in the dim light.
Then, he directly took off his pants and put them in his
backpack, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs.
The clothes he was wearing were like a long coat that reached
just above the knees, so even without pants, it didn’t matter.
He looked like he was wearing a knee-length dress.
After finishing all of this, Ruan Qing fiercely bit his thin
lips. His lip color was pale, but with this bite, a hint of blood emerged,
giving his lips a bit of color.
Ruan Qing licked away the bloodstain and immediately revealed
a sunny smile.
Without a trace of his previous appearance, he looked just
like a pure and beautiful female high school student.
Even those who knew him well would probably have a hard time
recognizing him right away.
The barrage exploded, filling the screen with question marks.
[Did I just drink water? Did they change the person? What
happened? What about my wife? Is he gone???]
[I only blinked, and I’m confused too.]
[Although I watched the whole thing, I’m also a bit
confused...]
