Chapter 18: Figuring It Out
Translator: Léon
Cheng Yu drove his car to pick up Liang. Noticing Chen was also there, he was quite surprised, “Why are you here?” He took a glance at him and kicked his suitcase. “Have you run away from home?”
Chen did not bother to pay attention to him. He would not believe that the old slut did not know what had happened.
Liang looked at Yu with a bit of embarrassment. “I can’t accompany you tonight.”
“Why?” asked Yu.
Chen snatched to answer him, “Today is my birthday. I’ve asked him to drink with me.”
“Your birthday? Wow, you’ve been eighteen, yeah? That’s great.” Yu suddenly spoke with a Taiwanese accent, making Chen rolling his eyes. “Happy birthday. I want to drink, too.”
“No, not you. It’s just Liangzi and me.”
“I don’t allow it.” Yu said seriously. “What if you fucked up after you get drunk? I’m not feeling secured.” Yu quickly took a step back to dodge the punches and kicks from Liang and Chen after finishing his words.
Chen refused to give in to Yu’s coming together, leaving Yu no choice but to resort to his Trump Card – Amber.
“It’ll accompany you then if not me.” With Yu threatening hard using the snake, Chen felt weak at his knees.
Chen hid behind Liang, feeling so anxious that he pinched Liang’s waist, “Liangzi, hurry to ask him go away!”
“Could we just let him come along?” Liang raised his hand and touched his ear. “He has the car. We won’t need to pay for the transportation.”
Chen, “…”
Well, Chen was sure Liang and Yu had fucked up together. Otherwise Liang would not have made such a clumsy excuse. Nor would he be guilty when saying the words. — He would touch his ears whenever he felt guilty.
Chen caved in. What else could he do? Yu would let the snake bite him if he didn’t allow him to come along.
Yu took them to the clubhouse owned by his friend. After getting out of the car and entering a box, Yu directly asked the waiter to serve wine. Then he said to Chen, “Cheers.” Liang looked over and Yu winked at him. “I drink, too.”
Liang frowned but Yu secretly rubbed his calf with his instep. Liang flushed in an instant.
Chen did not notice what was going on between them. Instead, he was in a low mood and was only thinking about drinking. However, he was not much a drinker and he drank in such a rush, so he felt dizzy soon. The dizzier he was, the more he wanted to drink. Liang tried to stop him a few times, but all failed. In the end, he gave up and thought that he might as well let him drink his fill. As soon as he turned his head, he found that Yu was feeding Amber with alcohol, so he directly snatched Amber from his hand, “What are you doing here?!”
“It’s supposed to be what I want to ask you.” Yu leaned forward, putting one of his hand on Liang’s thigh and the other on the back of the armchair. “What are you doing for snatching my son?”
Liang hid Amber into his pocket, “If you want to drink, drink yourself. Don’t feed it.”
“Are you caring about my son?” Yu smiled and approached Liang’s face as speaking, “Do you like my son? Then do you like me?”
Liang looked away, removed Yu’s restless hand from his leg, and whispered, “You know it.”
“Well, I don’t know. You haven’t said that.” Yu pressed his hand back on Liang’s thigh again. “I’ll give you an opportunity.”
Liang scratched his head, looking very awkward, “Opportunity for what?”
Yu originally meant to give Liang an opportunity to express his love for him. After noticing extreme tension under his hand, Yu suddenly changed his mind and kissed Liang on his chin smilingly.
“An opportunity for fucking me after getting drunk.”
Chen didn’t know whether he was drunk or not. And he continued to drink three to four cans of beer until he felt the awful distension of his stomach. He lay in the sofa for a few minutes, and endeavored to stand up after feeling the urgency to pee. Chen staggered out of the box and made it to the restroom under the guidance of a waiter.
The restroom was very big, clean and bright. Against the wall to the end of the restroom were neatly placed a row of green plants. Chen stared at the tub of Monstera Deliciosa in the middle and remembered there was also one tub in the restroom of Bo’s house. He did not know its name until Bo told him.
As soon as he thought of Qing Bo, Chen felt more urgent to pee. He walked to the urinal, but just when he unzipped his trousers a sound came from the right rear cubicle, followed by the sound “Ah”. Chen turned around to have a look, and turned back in bewilderment. What was going on? Would they be doing that kind of stuff?
Chen staggered to the sink, washing his hands while thinking where Liang and Yu had gone. Could it be them in that cubicle? Hardly had Chen begun to suspect it when another moan was heard from inside, which was followed by words as “Gentle.”
Now Chen was certain that it was Yu’s voice.
