Chapter 2: He’s My Husband (1/2)

It already sucked to not be able to join the Dragon Division, and his physical stats and capabilities also significantly declined to the point of below normal soldiers. Was Xu Cheng really fine with all that?

He just didn’t want to shed tears in front of his comrades, and his insistence to leave was just to protect the last bit of dignity he had left. He didn’t need the pity and sympathy of others. There was nothing he wanted to say, because as a loser, whatever he says would be wrong. Reality was cruel, and the only option that laid before him was to recover in peace and make his return when he gets back to A level.

After returning to Shangcheng, Xu Cheng went out to a club to get drunk at night. The crowd on the dance floor was swinging and dancing to the chaotic electronic beat, but Xu Cheng was immersed in his own emotions.

Sitting by the bar, he took shot after shot, and it wasn’t long before a gorgeously dressed woman came up to him and flirted, “Not going to buy me a drink?”

Xu Cheng pretended to be deaf. This woman took a closer look at his muscular 6’3 tall body. On top of the sexy lines that even clothes weren’t able to cover up, the sharp and firm look from his eyes gave off an even manlier feeling.

Women at nightclubs loved this type of mature and strong man the most. Only insecure women would try to look for an emotional harbor in such a place, and this woman was clearly attracted by Xu Cheng.

“Give him a glass of whiskey, it’s on me,” said the woman as she gestured to the bartender.

When the whiskey was placed onto the table, the woman seemed to slip a pill into the drink and smiled at Xu Cheng, “Then I will buy you a drink.”

“Although I’m a bit drunk, my brain can still function.” Xu Cheng sneered at her actions and yelled, “Get lost!”

Unwilling to invite more humiliation onto herself, the woman snorted and walked away.

After consecutively taking a couple more shots, many unhappy emotions were gradually forgotten under the influence of alcohol, and his consciousness also slowly faded.

When the bar was about to close, the bartender came over and lightly shoved him, “Sir… sir? Wake up.”

His head was against the table, and the batch of empty bottles in front of him was enough to give away the fact that he could not be drunker. The bartender couldn’t wake him up no matter what, so with no better options, he asked two staff members to help hold him as he searched for a phone on his body.

Unlocking it with the drunk man’s finger, he got to the contact list. It was pretty vacant, as only a few people were saved.

The first number to appear was one labeled as “Wife”, and the bartender dialed it immediately.

The phone rang for awhile, but no one picked up. The bartender dialed again, and after a long wait, someone finally answered.

A very ethereal and beautiful woman’s voice answered. Although the tone was quite cold, her voice was really soft and soothing.

“Hello?”

The bartender was dazed for a second, but then he quickly asked, “Hello, are you the wife of this number’s owner? So what happened is, this gentleman got drunk in our bar, and we couldn’t wake him up.”

The other end of the line became silent for a moment.

“You got the wrong number,” the voice spoke again.

“But…” the bartender took another look at the contact name and number and continued, “but this gentleman did save this number as ‘Wife’… Anyways, I’m sorry for the inconvenience, maybe there’s been a mistake.”
