Chapter 53: YanYan is Drunk
Lin Qingyan’s alcohol tolerance was pretty good. After his debut in his previous life, there were countless social events. His agent often took him to meet various bosses, directors, producers, and so on.
He didn’t like these social gatherings, but he wasn’t in a position to refuse. Sometimes, he would be forced to drink at banquets, and even being taken advantage of was commonplace. His tolerance was built up bit by bit.
But back in five years, his tolerance was only one glass. He was indeed a little drunk and his head was throbbing, or he wouldn’t have done this.
Seeing An Nanyi taking advantage of his drunken state to get close to Gu Fei, for some reason, he found it extremely annoying.
Gu Fei felt the tug at his clothes, and the boy’s soft, indistinct voice entered his ears. He looked over and saw Lin Qingyan leaning lazily on the sofa.
The surrounding lights were dim, and the boy’s cheeks were flushed with alcohol. His similarly crimson and soft lips were slightly parted, and his slightly lowered eyes. His left hand was pressing against his temples uncomfortably, and his right hand still held onto Gu Fei’s clothes.
With a completely different attitude than he showed An Nanyi, Gu Fei put his hand on Lin Qingyan’s shoulder, gently embracing him and supporting him against his shoulder. He placed his fingers on the boy’s temples, massaging them gently. “Feeling better?”
Lin Qingyan hummed in response, his eyes half-closed, his whole weight leaning on the man, his handsome brows slightly furrowed, still looking uncomfortable.
Gu Fei continued to massage him. The touch of his fingertips was delicate and warm. The boy’s body leaned against him in a dependent posture. His soft black hair brushed against his cheek, and a faint, clean fragrance mixed with alcohol filled his nostrils.
Gu Fei paused, his eyes seeming deeper and more unfathomable under the dim light.
Seeing this scene, An Yu stopped singing. He put down the microphone and rushed over, teasing Lin Qingyan, “Oh, our little YanYan is quite rebellious. Didn’t your Fei Ge Papa tell you to drink orange juice? How come you’re drunk even on orange juice?”
“Fei Ge Papa, that’s a perfect description.”
An Jing chuckled lightly. If he hadn’t mentally prepared himself beforehand, knowing that Gu Fei had a crush on this kid, he would have suspected that he was drunk, or that Gu Fei had been possessed by someone.
An Nanyi remained ignored on the side, looking rather pitiful.
An Jing went over and helped him sit up, frowning at his younger brother’s drunken state. He sighed helplessly, “Nanan, why did you drink so much too? If Mom sees you like this when she gets home tonight, she’ll definitely scold me.”
“I’m sorry, Big Brother… I’ll explain to Mom.”
“There’s nothing to apologize for. You can’t handle your alcohol, so don’t drink anymore, or you’ll have a headache tomorrow.”
“Mm…”
Perhaps because he was drunk, An Nanyi’s expression was ugly. He saw Lin Qingyan intimately leaning against Gu Fei, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists.
Gu Fei naturally didn’t notice the other’s gaze; his attention was entirely focused on the boy in his arms, unable to look away. After a moment, he looked up, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over An Nanyi and landing on An Jing.
“He’s drunk. I’ll take him home.”
An Jing laughed wryly and nodded. He told Gu Fei to hurry up and take his precious darling home, because the scene was almost blinding him. Truly, falling in love after being single for so long was something else.
This old fox Gu Fei had simply snatched this innocent and cute child away. Although An Jing teased him, he truly felt happy for him. Before this, he was really worried that his friend would be alone forever.
He wasn’t worried that Lin Qingyan had ulterior motives. He hadn’t met the boy a few times and couldn’t tell his character or personality, but he knew Gu Fei too well.
This old fox Gu Fei wouldn’t let anyone get close to him unless he initiated it. No matter how cunning someone was, they couldn’t escape his eyes.
An innocent and naive little white rabbit like Lin Qingyan wouldn’t be able to escape the clutches of this old fox Gu Fei.
…
Later, after learning the truth, An Jing regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Gu Fei, that dog, should have been alone forever! Why did he have to harm his innocent, harmless, beautiful, and adorable little angel?
He hated it!
However, that’s a story for another time.
Gu Fei’s hand rested on the boy’s waist, passing through the bend of his legs. He lifted the boy into his arms, said goodbye to An Jing and An Yu, and carried the person in his arms towards the exit.
Although Lin Qingyan was drunk, he was still conscious. He wanted to refuse Gu Fei holding him like this, especially in front of others.
But thinking about what An Nanyi had said and done, Lin Qingyan hesitated. He felt he had changed. Before this, he had never had similar thoughts. He just didn’t want An Nanyi to be happy.
In that moment of hesitation, Gu Fei lifted him into his arms.
Even so, his entire face was buried in the man’s chest, his ears as red as if they were about to bleed.
He couldn’t face anyone.
Watching Gu Fei’s departing back, the An brothers looked at each other, both seeing a certain plant in each other’s incredulous eyes: grass.
An Jing: “The rumors are debunked. Gu Fei is not asexual.”
An Yu: “Fei Fei is not the same Fei Fei as before.”
On the other side, An Nanyi, still leaning on the sofa, was nearly beside himself with anger. He quietly sobbed sadly and aggrievedly, quickly attracting their attention.
“Nanan, why are you crying? Are you uncomfortable?”
“I’m not uncomfortable…” An Nanyi wiped away his tears but still sobbed sadly and aggrievedly. He lowered his head and said in a choked voice, “I think I upset YanYan somewhere. He… he seems to dislike me. We were clearly, clearly good friends.”
An Yu: “No way, the little white rabbit doesn’t seem like that kind of person.”
An Jing didn’t speak. He looked at An Nanyi, pondering for a moment before comfortingly patting his head. “Maybe it’s a misunderstanding. Don’t cry; your eyes will swell up and become unattractive. Big Brother will take you home.”
“Mm…”
On the other side, when Gu Fei entered the elevator, Lin Qingyan quietly raised his head. From this angle, he could see the man’s sharply defined jawline and sexy Adam’s apple. The man’s unique masculine scent filled his nostrils.
The elevator descended. Lin Qingyan whispered, “Fei Ge, I can walk by myself.” He had only done it to annoy An Nanyi. Being held like this was embarrassing. Thankfully, he was drunk, or his blush would be very obvious.
However, the arm around his waist tightened.
Gu Fei said, “YanYan is drunk.”
Lin Qingyan: “…” He couldn’t argue.
So he continued to be held like that.
Gu Fei had also drunk quite a bit, but his alcohol tolerance was high, and he wasn’t drunk. The club staff thoughtfully called a designated driver for him, equally shocked that the gentleman was carrying someone in his arms.
But the person’s face was buried in Gu Ye’s chest, making it impossible to see clearly.
The designated driver arrived quickly. Once in the car, Gu Fei finally put Lin Qingyan down, and the two sat side by side in the back.
The night was hazy, and the night wind blew in through the slightly open car window, bringing a cool breeze. The atmosphere in the car was inexplicably a bit sultry, perhaps because both of them had been drinking.
Under the influence of alcohol, Lin Qingyan, though drunk, wasn’t noisy; he sat quietly, but soon leaned against the man beside him, his breathing becoming even.
Gu Fei naturally put his arm around Lin Qingyan’s waist. He lowered his head, calmly watching the quietly sleeping boy. His fair cheeks were as red as a half-ripe peach.
A gentle tenderness flashed in the man’s calm eyes. He gently swept back the boy’s loose bangs and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the villa.
Lin Qingyan hadn’t woken up yet. Gu Fei carried him into the room and placed him on the bed. He vaguely woke up, sitting up and instinctively clutching Gu Fei’s clothes, preventing him from leaving, calling out “Fei Ge.”
Gu Fei was about to get a towel when he saw this, and he sat back down by the bed. The boy looked at him with hazy, moist eyes.
This was the first time Gu Fei had seen the boy drunk. He was different from usual, like a confused child, easily fooled. He asked, “YanYan, were you unhappy just now?”
Unexpectedly, the boy nodded without hesitation.
So, he really was easily fooled.
Gu Fei continued to probe. “Because of An Nanyi?”
The boy nodded again.
“Did he bully you before?”
Lin Qingyan nodded, then shook his head. His delicate brows furrowed slightly. He said, “Fei Ge, does An Nanyi like you? Do you like him?”
Gu Fei was surprised by this question and chuckled lightly. “No.”
The boy’s slightly furrowed brows immediately smoothed out. He shifted closer to the man, looking at him with exceptionally bright eyes, and said, “Then who do you like?”
Lin Qingyan didn’t know how alluring his voice sounded right now: soft and hoarse from the alcohol, like it had a hook, directly tickling the insides of a person.
