Part 2
The haze in Lu Zhi’s eyes suddenly dissipated, the violent rage strangely calming down. He could even feel his heart rate suddenly accelerate, blood heating up.
Baby actually prepared a gift specially?
Truly telepathic with him; he also prepared a pair of couple rings.
Lu Zhi couldn’t help wondering what the gift box would contain. Tie? Cufflinks? Or…
Then Lu Zhi, coming back to his senses, tasted something wrong again. If Tang Xingye wanted to give him a gift, why block him?
Did he do something wrong again, making Wifey angry and punishing him?
Was it because he confirmed the meeting date again last night, annoying the other party?
No no no, how could he think like that?
Maybe Wifey was just too shy and blocked him.
Lu Zhi felt Tang Xingye was truly a tormenting cat.
But one couldn’t bring themselves to hate him.
“Ah!” The Beta screamed, seeming to remember something, slapping his thigh. “I remember, today is Zhou Lin’s birthday. Maybe Xingye went to attend the birthday banquet.”
As soon as the words fell, the Alpha’s face in front of him suddenly turned cold.
Tang Xingye recalled the events of this period. With a calm gaze, he blocked Lu Zhi, set the scheduled email, and finally deactivated Candy Heart’s account.
He took out the finished heat-inducing agent he had secretly kept earlier and packed it into a small box protected against breaking.
Inside the brilliantly lit party hall, fragrant clothes and temple shadows mingled.
A waiter was pouring wine for guests when a beautiful Beta brushed past. A strange cold fragrance lingered in his nose. As if his soul was hooked, he stared unblinkingly.
A cold and otherworldly appearance, white skin, thin waist, slender figure, looking very seductive.
Long eyelashes cast dark shadows on his eyelids. The corners of his eyes were tinged with thin red, and a tear mole hung there, adding to the allure.
Just being glanced at once, he felt a thirst that was somewhat unbearable. The waiter’s Adam’s apple rolled exaggeratedly as he swallowed saliva.
Only when the person walked far away did the waiter come back to his senses, hurriedly asking his colleagues, “Who is this? How come I’ve never seen him?”
The colleague looked around for a while and immediately found the focal point of the crowd. “Tang Xingye ah, the school beauty of Jing University who won the vote by a landslide.”
Since Tang Xingye entered the private room, many probing gazes fell on him.
He didn’t care. His gaze scanned the whole venue, only wanting to find the target of his revenge.
Zhou Lin stood in the center of the crowd, a nonchalant smile on his lips, slender fingers casually holding a goblet, amber liquid swaying gently against the glass wall.
“Young Master Zhou, happy birthday!” Someone raised a glass and approached, smiling fawningly. “Heard you recently secured the project in the East City again. Truly young and promising.”
Zhou Lin lazily raised his glass, the smile not reaching his eyes. “You’re too kind.”
One after another, people surrounded himācomplimenting, flattering, probing. He handled them with ease, neither appearing too warm nor neglecting anyone.
Gifts were accepted by waiters one by one and piled on the gift table to the side, each beautifully packaged and expensive.
Tang Xingye didn’t crowd in. He casually handed the gift box to the waiter collecting them.
The private room was exceptionally spacious, with many entertainment optionsāvarious board games, billiards, KTV, everything was there.
Tang Xingye had no interest in those games. Holding a glass of wine, he sat in the corner of the sofa, eating from the fruit platter intermittently, thinking about his plan.
People in the private room cast unscrupulous glances at the Beta, sticky gazes almost wanting to lick the person thoroughly from inside out.
The Beta’s slender fingertips absent-mindedly twisted a berry so ripe it was purple, the plump skin taut and translucent.
Pale pink lips parted, holding it.
When the plump flesh was gently bitten open, a few drops of juice couldn’t be swallowed in time, sliding down the corner of his lip, dragging a water trail down his jaw.
People around watched until their eyes went straight, wishing they could go up and lick him clean.
When it came to the ice-breaking segment, everyone present wanted to play the King’s Game.
Suddenly, the sofa beside Tang Xingye dipped at a corner. Someone sat beside him, a broad chest leaning over as if half-holding him in his arms. “Want to try?”
The private room fell silent abruptly. Everyone held their breathāwho didn’t know Tang Xingye hated physical contact the most? The Alpha who tried to put an arm around his shoulder last time was still lying in the school hospital.
Zhou Lin narrowed his eyes. Tang Xingye would definitely agree.
Tang Xingye’s eyes moved slightly. Finally, under many secretly expectant gazes, he nodded lightly.
Being able to come to Zhou Lin’s birthday banquet was absolutely the most correct choice in this life!
This was everyone’s unanimous thought.
Of course, to play meant accepting punishments.
Originally, everyone wanted to proceed step by step, starting with safe commands, but the atmosphere had long heated up, and the punishment content became direct and bold.
“Drink cross-cupped wine.”
“Play the Pocky game!”
“French kiss a member of the opposite sex present for ten seconds.”
Everyone present knew well for whom these punishments were issued, and looked forward to something happening because of it.
Truly disgusting. Couldn’t they issue a punishment like who can solve a problem in one minute?
Tang Xingye expressionlessly wrote down his punishment content, picked up his water glass, and took a sip.
It was noisier than imagined, but still bearable. Tang Xingye stared unblinkingly, patiently waiting for the card he wanted.
As long as he delivered that big gift, he would leave here.
Perhaps luck was on Tang Xingye’s side; after playing a few rounds, he was only picked once, and the punishment wasn’t anything perverted.
It was time.
“Next round!” The King suddenly announced loudly. Slender fingers tapped the table as the King slowly read out the words on the card, “Drink a glass of wine together.”
The crowd excitedly craned their necks to see the punishment card, then erupted in ambiguous jeering.
Wrong.
Strong intuition warned Tang Xingye something was wrong. This wasn’t the punishment card he prepared.
Someone switched the cards.
“Those who drew 1 and 7, execute the punishment.”
“I’m 7.” Zhou Lin revealed his card, a faint smile hanging on his lips.
“Where’s number 1?” The crowd looked around.
Tang Xingye looked down at the card he drew. His fingertips trembled slightly; the bright red “1” stung his eyes.
His face turned very ugly in an instant. He looked down at the wine glass by his hand that hadn’t been touched.
Tang Xingye was still pondering whether to continue the game. This potion didn’t have much effect on Betas; drinking half wouldn’t matter much.
The ice cubes originally prepared had long melted, leaving no trace.
Truly envy Zhou Lin.
Such good luck.
Everything around fell silent, staring at Tang Xingye, waiting for his reaction.
Zhou Lin, holding an empty wine glass, sat down in front of him, staring at him. “Coming?”
Tang Xingye, being asked, looked up to meet those meaningful smiling eyes.
He understood instantlyāZhou Lin switched the punishment card.
Zhou Lin didn’t know specifically what he wanted to do. Out of curiosity, he changed the punishment to drinking a glass together.
Zhou Lin shook the untouched wine glass in front of Tang Xingye. The amber liquid glowed with a tempting luster under the light, showing no sign of the potion put inside.
He leaned in, lips almost touching Tang Xingye’s earlobe: “Xingye, what you put in shouldn’t be poison, right?”
Tang Xingye’s pupils constricted. He indeed knew.
“Of course…” Zhou Lin’s canine teeth gently rubbed his sensitive auricle, voice so low only they could hear, “If it were poison, that would also be very good.”
The Alpha’s fingertips stroked over his Adam’s apple, carrying a trembling tenderness: “Sleeping underground together, wouldn’t be too lonely.”
This sentence stabbed into Tang Xingye’s spine like an ice pick. He looked up abruptly, only to crash into Zhou Lin’s bottomless eyes, where dark, morbid emotions were churning.
Before he could react, Zhou Lin had already tilted his head and drank the wine in the glass. Amidst the crisp sound of the glass hitting the floor, Tang Xingye was yanked violently into a scorching embrace. The Alpha’s palm clasped the back of his head, and lips carrying the scent of wine pressed down heavily.
“Mmph…!”
Spicy liquid was passed into his mouth. Tang Xingye struggled desperately but was forced to swallow by Zhou Lin pinching his chin.
The transferred wine was like carrying searing fire, burning in the stomach, spreading rapidly.
Zhou Lin’s expression was full of composure, yet a faint morbid obsession surfaced in his brows and eyes.
Tang Xingye was held very tight, the corners of his eyes forced to flush red.
Unswallowed wine slid down the reddish corners of his lips, wetting the front of his shirt.
The gazes around became even hotter, landing on the slender, pitiful beauty.
Various pheromones shrouded down overwhelmingly, so strong they almost materialized.
Tang Xingye’s vision began to blur, his body becoming strangely hot. His flesh, his soul yearned for the most violent collision in the world.
“How’s the taste?” Zhou Lin pulled back slightly, his thumb grinding over his wet lips. “I specially… added something extra.”
Only then did Tang Xingye realize that he not only swapped the punishment contentāeven the heat-inducing agent was swapped for one specifically targeting Betas.
Bang!
A violent banging sound came from the door. Tang Xingye turned his eyes to see Lu Zhi with a gloomy face and icy eyes, staring dead at them. The whole person looked like a malevolent ghost, about to merge with the blackness behind him.
