Chapter 67: Bonus Chapter (67)
Jiang Qingyan’s expression stiffened. Silence stagnated between the two for a moment before he slowly spoke.
“I will find a way to make him mine.”
Fu Sizhao frowned slightly, not expecting Jiang Qingyan to admit it so readily. But it didn’t matter. He straightened his lapel and looked at the other calmly. “Ah Yan, I also quite like Shen Tangqing. Not just playing around, but preparing to pursue him seriously.”
Fu Sizhao felt he couldn’t call it love yet; the word “like” was already very luxurious for him. He hadn’t liked anyone before. But thinking of Shen Tangqing’s beautiful face, Fu Sizhao felt an unbearable itch in his heart.
Jiang Qingyan’s heart sank violently. He stared fixedly at Fu Sizhao, trying to find a trace of a joke on his face. But there was none. Fu Sizhao met his gaze very calmly.
Jiang Qingyan’s face turned completely cold. He stared at Fu Sizhao, saying word by word, “Ah Zhao, this joke is not funny.”
Fu Sizhao laughed instead. He possessed a pair of eyes that looked affectionate even when looking at a dog. When he smiled, his overall temperament became even more gentle and refined. Straightening up, the carelessness in his eyes faded. His voice added a few degrees of prudence and seriousness.
“Ah Yan, you know I’m not joking. I want him.”
The words “want him” exploded in Jiang Qingyan’s mind. His breathing suddenly became heavy. The sea breeze rolled broken hair against his forehead but couldn’t blow away the chill in his eyes at all. His voice carried suppressed anger, asking almost through clenched teeth, “Ah Zhao, are you going to snatch him from me?”
Fu Sizhao didn’t speak. He just fished out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes. “Smoke?”
Jiang Qingyan shook his head with a cold face.
Fu Sizhao didn’t mind. He lit a cigarette for himself, leaned back against the railing, and smoked leisurely. It wasn’t until half the cigarette was smoked that he finally spoke.
“Ah Yan, I’m not snatching him from you. He doesn’t belong to you now, nor does he belong to anyone. We rely on our own abilities.”
“What a ‘rely on our own abilities,'” Jiang Qingyan repeated, saying no more. His gaze fell aimlessly on the pitch-black sea surface, his face terrifyingly gloomy, unknown calculations running through his mind.
Fu Sizhao held the cigarette between his fingers, a section of ash falling onto the deck without catching his attention. He raised his hand and took a deep drag. After slowly exhaling the smoke, he added another sentence.
“Ah Yan, I’m not the only one coveting Shen Tangqing.”
Jiang Qingyan’s gaze solidified, his calm expression growing colder. He looked at Fu Sizhao. “What do you mean?”
Fu Sizhao didn’t answer. After stubbing out the cigarette with two puffs left in the ashtray on a nearby table, he lifted his chin at Jiang Qingyan. “Let’s go. Been out long enough; time to go back.”
Jiang Qingyan frowned. He wanted to press for Fu Sizhao’s previous words, but Fu Sizhao had already taken the lead in walking toward the cabin.
When the two returned to the dining area, Shen Tangqing had already finished eating and was sitting on the chair playing with his phone in boredom.
“Brother Shen, where is Brother Lu?”
Shen Tangqing looked up at the sound. After straightening up, he replied to Fu Sizhao, “Brother Lu went to the restroom, hasn’t come back yet.”
“Brother Lu?” The smile on Fu Sizhao’s lips faded. “Calling him quite affectionately. A few minutes ago, I remember you called him Mr. Lu.”
Shen Tangqing frowned slightly. Is this person being sarcastic with me? Really speechless.
“Brother Fu, what I call him seems to be my freedom,” Shen Tangqing replied with a fake smile.
Fu Sizhao was choked. Previously, Shen Tangqing was always submissive. Suddenly turning into a little hedgehog… Fu Sizhao wasn’t quite used to it. However, not only did he not feel annoyed, but he found it even more interesting. He liked the true-natured Shen Tangqing. It was more heart-moving than the “cowardly” version from before.
Fu Sizhao suddenly laughed. “Brother Shen is right.”
Shen Tangqing: “…” Why do I feel like this person is sick?
But as the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling face. He couldn’t really give Fu Sizhao attitude anymore.
Jiang Qingyan on the side glanced at Fu Sizhao, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. Why didn’t I discover this guy was so cheap before? Big bad wolf pretending to be a pure little white rabbit? Quite disgusting!
He handed a glass of wine from the table to Fu Sizhao.
Fu Sizhao was a bit confused. “What for?”
“Drink a mouthful of wine to moisten your throat. By the way, retract your teeth; don’t let them catch a cold.”
Shen Tangqing almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. Why didn’t I discover before that Jiang Qingyan was quite humorous?
Fu Sizhao’s face sank. He threw Jiang Qingyan an eye roll. But he still took the wine Jiang Qingyan handed over. For nothing else, he was indeed a bit thirsty.
Just at this moment, Shen Tangqing’s phone ringtone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen. It was Shen Huayan.
“Hello, Mom?”
“Where are you?”
“Dining area.”
“Miss Lin has arrived, in the main hall. Come over quickly.”
“Okay—”
Hanging up the phone, Shen Tangqing looked at the two. “Brother Yan, Brother Fu, my mom is looking for me. I’ll go over there first.”
Jiang Qingyan’s face suddenly turned cold. “Miss Lin is here?”
“En, I’m going first.”
After speaking, Shen Tangqing took his phone and walked quickly toward the main hall.
Fu Sizhao didn’t understand. “What Miss Lin?”
Jiang Qingyan glanced at him coldly. “His blind date.”
“Blind date?” The decibel of Fu Sizhao’s astonished voice increased a bit.
“Yes…”
“Holy crap, then why are you still standing here like a pestle? Follow him!”
Jiang Qingyan hooked his lips, his tone somewhat careless. “Go do what? Watch him on a blind date? Watch him chat sweetly with someone?”
Fu Sizhao: “…”
“Just make sure his date doesn’t succeed?” Jiang Qingyan raised an eyebrow, staying silent, his expression somewhat intriguing.
Fu Sizhao took two steps, then stopped in place, as if suddenly realizing something. He turned to look at Jiang Qingyan.
“Ah Yan, okay, using me as a weapon.” Pausing, he chuckled lightly. “Giving you face, just this once.”
