Chapter 16 - What to Do, It Seems Like the Damsel Has Saved the Hero This Time (2/2)
Wei Ru Song smiled.
“I know.”
After reciting the lines they both laughed, the guy held his hand to Wei Ru Song.
“Chu Yun He, you?”
“Wei Ru Song!” Wei Ru Song gripped onto Chu Yun He’s hand. “Are you studying in College A?”
Chu Yun He had a heroic air around him, defined eyebrows and sharp eyes, with a forceful demeanour, Chu Yun He was a little surprised.
“Do I look that young?”
“Eh?”
“I’m 28 years old.”
“Ah?!” Wei Ru Song got a shock. “Really can’t be seen, bro you look too young!”
Both Chu Yun He’s looks and style were definitely those of a campus idol, Wei Ru Song thought about it, they were at a bar, not the school’s cafeteria, of course there would be all types of people here.
“You’re a student?”
“Yeah, from College A.”
“Which faculty?”
“Information Engineering,” Wei Ru Song’s face changed. “It’s essentially a monastery.”
“Hahaha,” Chu Yun He was amused by Wei Ru Song. “It was the same for me, any appearance of a female would make us gawk.”
“I completely understand,” Wei Ru Song patted Chu Yun He’s shoulder. “At the current rate, I’m afraid I’m about to bend like a mosquito coil.”
“Oh?” Chu Yun He said thoughtfully. “Then you’ll need to be careful.”
“That’s why I came to the bar.”
“You came alone? Or with friends? I saw you playing games just now,” Chu Yun He signalled the bartender. “A glass of old-fashioned, thanks.”
“To tell you the truth, this is my first time at a bar, I was dragged here by my classmates, they wanted to stop being single this Christmas, don’t laugh, why are you laughing.”
“Ok ok ok, I won’t laugh, continue.”
Wei Ru Song was very friendly towards Chu Yun He, maybe because of Chu Yun He’s character and interests, also, it was of no concern to tell secrets to strangers, Wei Ru Song treated Chu Yun He like an elder brother and explained everything to hi,
“I had a girlfriend previously, but due to some accidents, everyone thinks I’m gay now…”
“You have a boyfriend?”
“No, he’s just my roommate, we– Actually, also not…”
Wei Ru Song was a little incoherent, he was always like that every time he had to define his relationship with Xiao Nian, both his brain and his mouth unable to think of anything.
“Here are your old-fashioneds.”
The bartender placed the two glasses in front of Chu Yu He, Chu Yun He’s finger brushed the mouth of the glass surreptitiously, a pill fell into the drink and dissolved, then he handed that glass to Wei Ru Song.
“It’s fine, take your time, this glass of old-fashioned is for you.”
“Uhh… Thanks then.”
Wei Ru Song looked into Chu Yun He’s eyes, they were shining with a little ambiguous indulgence– he must have been mistaken with the dim lighting, Wei Ru Song nervously decided to ignore it, he raised the glass and finished the drink in one shot.
“Maybe we both have, I, I don’t want to talk about this anymore! Apologies, bro.”
It seemed like there was a difference in the alcohol content of an old-fashioned as compared to a watermelon daiquiri, drinking the old-fashioned was like swallowing a flame, burning his belly, Wei Ru Song’s face flushed unwittingly.
“Why don’t you talk about yourself? With your looks, anyone you target at the bar would definitely be captured by you, right?”
“Is that the case?” Chu Yun He’s smile grew bigger, his hand cupping Wei Ru Song’s apple red cheeks, the warmth burning his palm, this was a sign of the pill working. “I guess it is.”
Wei Ru Song was dizzy, the warmth in his belly spreading through his body, Wei Ru Song simply thought that this was due to his low alcohol tolerance.
“I, I think that I’m a little drunk, don’t know if it was the daiquiri or the old-fashioned, pretty strong…”
“You alright?” Chu Yun He pretended to be concerned and supported the swaying Wei Ru Song. “Shall I bring you to rest?”
“I, I don’t want to bother you…”
By then, Chu Yun He had already hugged Wei Ru Song’s waist and pulled him into his embrace, Wei Ru Song had never been drunk, neither had he been drugged, he could not differentiate between being drunk or drugged, he could only lean on Chu Yun He, the seductive cologne wafting of his clothes drowning him further.
“I have a wall of Star Wars original memorabilia and DVDs at home, do you want to see them?”
“Yes!” Wei Ru Song excitedly clasped onto Chu Yun He’s neck, smiling like an innocent child. “I want to see! May the force be with you! Hahaha–“
The two of them left the bar looking like a lovey-dovey gay couple, hugging him Chu Yun He was about to head to the underground carpark, with Wei Ru Song’s current condition he was tempted to just complete the deed then, damn it, Chu Yun He was starting to believe a little in love at first sight.
“Hold on.”
Someone actually stopped Chu Yun He and Wei Ru Song, the both of them turned around.
“Who are you?”
“Junior?”
Xiao Nian walked towards Chu Yun He and pulled the dazed Wei Ru Song into his arms, his eyes chillingly glaring at Chu Yun He, with a freezing tone he asked.
“Where are you bringing my lover?”
