Xian Sheng finally reacted and shot Yue Hua a look. She wanted to say something but stopped. To not anger Zhan Lue further, she turned around and left.
When the doors were closed, Xian Sheng became a bit terrified. Zhan Lue seemed like a beast now. He was not conscious, or at least, not that conscious.
Looking at his pale face, Zhan Lue lifted his hand and patted the bed. His entire body exuded a dangerous aura.
He did not speak, but his actions signalled for Xian Sheng to go over.
Xian Sheng’s gaze landed on the table. He poured a cup of tea and walked over slowly, saying gently, “A drink to sober up.”
Zhan Lue opened his mouth. Xian Sheng could only lift the cup and feed him. Zhan Lue’s lips touched the rim of the cup and his lips became moist from the tea. However, he did not even look at the cup—his gaze was fixed on Xian Sheng.
Xian Sheng’s fingers trembled. His heart beat strongly against his chest when Zhan Lue looked at him. He asked, “How much did you drink today?”
“Not much.” Zhan Lue drank the tea and licked his lips. Xian Sheng said, “I’ll pour you another cup.”
He turned around hurriedly, but Zhan Lue grabbed onto his arm. It was so painful that Xian Sheng released his grip and the cup fell onto the floor, shattering into pieces. Zhan Lue pulled him onto the bed, lifted his knees and hugged him.
The drunk Zhan Lue was different from his usual self. He was like a beast released into the wilderness. Xian Sheng’s bones were almost shattering under his grip. “Did you go to the brothel today?”
“So what if I did?” Zhan Lue caressed his face and said, “You don’t even care.”
“Who, who said that I don’t care?” asked Xian Sheng hurriedly. “You went to meet girls today. Why don’t you just stay there? Why did you come back?”
Zhan Lue looked at him and said, “You wanted to sleep in the other room just now. What did you mean? Are you afraid that I’ll force you? Or are you afraid that I’ll break your precious body?”
“No,” said Xian Sheng. “I’m only scared that you won’t have a good sleep. Husband, can you release your grip? I can’t breathe.”
“Little liar.” Zhan Lue separated his fingers and pinched Xian Sheng’s two cheeks, making him pout. His lips looked like red flower blossoms. Zhan Lue said unhappily, “I’m really unhappy today. You don’t even care… I pampered you and let you do whatever you wanted, but you never had me in your heart. I’m very angry…”
He lowered his head and kissed Xian Sheng. Xian Sheng tried his best to move his mouth back, but his cheeks hurt from being pinched. Zhan Lue was tasting him bit by bit like he was a delicacy. Xian Sheng’s eyes reddened. This man was just using his drunkenness as an excuse to go crazy. Their difference in strength was too big. Xian Sheng was completely powerless.
“Zhan Lue… Lue Lue…” Xian Sheng’s voice broke off. He choked, “Husband, husband…”
Zhan Lue’s heart tightened and he finally released Xian Sheng’s reddened face. However, he still hugged him. He pressed his forehead against Xian Sheng’s and watched as his tears fell. Zhan Lue gritted his teeth and said, “Why are you crying?”
Xian Sheng cried and trembled. Zhan Lue could not help but wipe his tears away. “You just want to make my heart hurt, right?”
“You went to look for girls today, and you treat me like this when you come back…” Xian Sheng was shaking uncontrollably. His teeth were chattering and his warm tears rolled down. “I just didn’t want to disturb your rest. Yet, you still misunderstood me and bullied me like this…”
“Stop shaking.” Zhan Lue patted him. “It’s alright now.”
“How much did you drink… You are so scary. You hurt me when you grabbed me.”
“I didn’t drink a lot. How would I bear to hurt you? Yes, I’m angry at you and I bullied you on purpose… I know that I’m wrong now. Don’t cry anymore.”
He kissed Xian Sheng’s tears away. Xian Sheng only calmed down after a while. His eyes were still red but his eyelashes fell, concealing the tumultuous emotions raging within.
Zhan Lue consoled him softly, “Let’s sleep together, okay?”
Xian Sheng sniffed. He thought that if he refused, Zhan Lue would be angry again. Hence, he nodded and curled up in a ball pitifully. He lowered his gaze and pursed his lips tightly.
Zhan Lue pulled the blanket higher and hugged Xian Sheng. Xian Sheng’s moist eyes looked back for a while and he asked softly, “Are the ladies at the brothel as pretty as me?”
Zhan Lue hugged him tighter uncontrollably and said hoarsely, “They can’t even compare to you.”
“Then… don’t go there anymore.”
At that moment, Zhan Lue felt like he was being cared for. In the next second, Xian Sheng added, “Don’t drink anymore too, okay?”
Zhan Lue’s smile faded. His eyes were glued to the pristine neck in front of him and he bit it.
