Chapter 58: He Definitely Blacked Out
From ancient times to the present, Yangcheng has been a famous capital of gastronomy. The variety of snacks was so vast… a single night market couldn’t contain them all.
So every time night fell, food stalls were everywhere in the city area. There was no need to turn on a phone to search for shops; just walking around randomly, wherever there were a lot of people, there was late-night supper.
Neither Shou Jiaxun nor Liang Bo were locals. They weren’t picky about flavors and were mainly eating for the atmosphere. After dropping their luggage at the hotel, they strolled into a nearby night market and found a food shop with many people but no queue to go in and order dishes.
The dishes were ordered blindly. These two northerners hadn’t even heard the names of many of them, nor did they recognize them when they were brought to the table. It was mainly to pair with drinks.
Shou Jiaxun took the initiative to raise the first glass, toasting Assistant Liang. “You are currently the person I trust the most aside from Guoran. If I get too drunk later… you won’t do anything to disappoint me, right?”
Liang Bo smiled sheepishly, playing the coward. “Drink with peace of mind. Although I’m not afraid of disappointing you, I truly don’t want to lose my job.”
President Shou laughed twice, clinked glasses with him, and then downed the beer in his glass in one gulp.
Wine, women, wealth, and anger could all fill a man’s “emptiness,” with wine ranking first, because it was easily accessible, cheap, and plentiful.
But just drinking was boring; it was best to add a “story.”
Liang Bo said, “Let me tell you about my grandfather. An extremely ‘non-mainstream’ old man.”
Shou Jiaxun poured his own drink, replying casually, “Sure.”
So Assistant Liang began his story: “My grandfather was an Alpha…”
Before his words fell, he was interrupted by President Shou choking on a laugh with a “Pfft.” “Nonsense, you call him grandfather, of course he’s an Alpha.”
Liang Bo looked displeased, frowning and complaining, “Not necessarily, okay? Do you still want to listen or not? If you won’t listen, I won’t tell it.”
“Listen, listen, listen. You continue.” Saying this, Shou Jiaxun turned his head and raised a hand to summon the waiter. “Do you have Baijiu here?”
The snack shop didn’t have many alcoholic beverages for customers to choose from, so without even asking, the waiter brought over a small glass bottle of Wuliangye; one glass was only fifty milliliters. “We only have this kind, is that okay?”
President Shou nodded. “Bring two more.”
Liang Bo was surprised. “What are you doing? Is your alcohol tolerance very good? Want to drink yourself into a stupor? Isn’t that a bit much?”
Shou Jiaxun pouted. “No, not a bit much. I just hate how bloated I get from drinking too much beer… You continue. Grandfather is an Alpha, and then?”
Liang Bo sighed, reached out to take a glass of high-proof Baijiu from in front of Shou Jiaxun, opened it, took a small sip, bared his teeth at the burn, and continued telling his story. “When my grandfather was young, he married into my biological grandmother’s family as a live-in son-in-law. My grandmother’s family were officials, and my biological grandmother also walked the path within the system. Although she was a female Omega, her personality was extremely dominant.
After giving birth to my dad, she directly threw him to my grandpa, and never personally took care of the child for a single day.
In my grandpa’s words, every single diaper my dad wore was changed by his own hands, and every mouthful of formula was mixed by him personally.
They were married for ten years, and my grandpa was a full-time househusband for ten years.
During those ten years, my grandpa never left the house except to buy groceries, while my biological grandmother… never came home except to sleep. Coming home meant fully relaxing, lying down in the room, too lazy to even speak a word.
However fulfilling her work was, that was exactly how empty and lonely my grandpa was…
Just as empty as the state the two of us are in right now.”
Shou Jiaxun was amused by him again, waving a hand in denial. “I’m not empty, I’m quite fulfilled.”
“Hey, that’s not the point…” Liang Bo promptly interrupted his self-boasting and continued talking about his grandfather. “Anyway, later my grandfather couldn’t take it anymore. He was too empty, so his thoughts started running wild, suspecting my grandmother had someone on the outside, so he proposed a divorce.
My biological grandmother nodded readily. Not only did she agree to the divorce, but she also proactively offered my grandpa a ‘youth compensation fee.’ But this basically confirmed my grandpa’s suspicion of her cheating during the marriage.
So he was very worried that after the divorce, my grandmother and her new husband would abuse my dad.
Thus, he told my biological grandmother that he didn’t want a single cent of the money, but he had to take my dad away. His reason was that my grandmother had never personally taken care of my dad, and he was afraid she wouldn’t raise him well.
Because my grandpa was a live-in son-in-law! So my dad took my grandmother’s surname, and my grandmother’s family didn’t agree to let my grandpa take my dad away either. This matter was argued over and tossed around for a long time.
Later, my grandfather knelt down to my grandmother, and only then did her heart soften, agreeing to let him take the child away.
For the following ten years, my grandpa worked while raising the kid, and he and my dad depended on each other for survival. My dad was also exceptionally sensible, managing his own schoolwork and learning to cook, doing his utmost to lessen my grandpa’s burden.
Later on, my grandpa started his own business. Before my dad even graduated from university, he started ‘working’ for my grandpa. The two father and son were very united, gradually making some small money, and their lives stabilized.
…And then my grandpa remarried.
My dad suddenly died of an illness.”
The story’s ending was very hasty because the listener was already so drunk he was slumped on the table, unable to get up. He just mumbled blindly in support, “Your grandpa had it rough… your grandpa is very good.”
Liang Bo’s story ended hurriedly, though not entirely because Shou Jiaxun was drunk and confused. Most of the reason was that he himself couldn’t continue telling it.
Subsequently, he also collapsed onto the table, crying uncontrollably. “I miss my dad so much. I really miss him too much. Why did he have to die?”
Two poor wretches who had harbored regrets about family affection for half their lives spent the better part of the night slumped on the dinner table. It wasn’t until the restaurant closed in the wee hours of the morning that the boss woke them up to pay the bill.
Strictly speaking, the one who got up to pay the bill was Liang Bo. Shou Jiaxun had drunk too much earlier. He groaned a couple of times to indicate he was awake, but absolutely refused to climb up.
Liang Bo had no choice but to scoop him up horizontally in his arms and walk out of the shop. At this moment, he was very thankful… that the hotel they checked into was incredibly close.
In seven or eight minutes, they could collapse back onto the bed and peacefully close their eyes.
However, the only one who felt peaceful was Shou Jiaxun.
As soon as Liang Bo’s eyelids closed, he couldn’t help but fantasize about the scene of tearing off the blocking tape from the back of Shou Jiaxun’s neck and biting down to mark him right then.
This was their second time intimately sharing a bed, and this time, Shou Jiaxun was even more out of it than the last.
“He’s definitely blacked out…”
Thinking this, Liang Bo’s hand had already involuntarily touched the patch smelling of traditional Chinese medicine, printed with a cartoon pattern.
He brought his nose close, carefully kissing the skin at the back of Shou Jiaxun’s neck along the edge of the patch.
Shou Jiaxun felt ticklish, instinctively curling his body and shifting forward to dodge, but he didn’t open his eyes.
The next second, Liang Bo suddenly rolled over, pressing down on Shou Jiaxun’s back, and gently bit the Omega’s sex gland through the herbal-smelling patch.
Shou Jiaxun groaned softly a couple of times, showing absolutely no sign of waking up.
Then, his body was suddenly and forcefully thrust against.
“Mmph—” Little President Shou mumbled in protest.
But he would have been better off not “mmph”-ing, because the person behind him couldn’t help but make their bodies crash together even more forcefully.
This time, Shou Jiaxun finally gave a bit more reaction, starting to flail his hands wildly in resistance.
But his wrists were immediately pinned down, gripped tightly, and secured beside the pillow.
Following that, President Shou felt as if he were lying on a wet, sandy beach. From behind, wave after wave crashed down on his body, urgent and heavy.
As if at any moment, he would be dragged into the bottomless depths of the ocean.
