Chapter Forty-Six: Drunk (2/2)

These routines were almost too well played. To say that Lin Zhou was an extreme case of egotism was almost an understatement.

Xiao Yu estimated that Yan Jin would probably come home late tonight. His original plan was to wait for Yan Jin to come home before he went to bed. But somehow, or rather, perhaps their routines were too regulated lately, making Xiao Yu, who was very used to staying up all night, feel drowsy by the time it hit twelve midnight.

As Xiao Yu got sleepy, even the air conditioning felt slightly colder.

Then, Xiao Yu thought, why not head back to the cage for a quick nap.

Proceeding to do so, Xiao Yu fell asleep.

The nap was unusually disturbed. When a person was troubled by something, they would easily have dreams.

In that grotesque and variegated dream, Xiao Yu heard arguing noises. In a scene where the people were blurred out, the sound of a woman’s screaming and crying was mixed with the sound of a heart beating. It was weird and realistic. The image ended with a white dove slamming hard into the sun roof as it tried to escape. Following the cracking sound, the image of white feathers scattered everywhere as the dove with broken wings laid there motionlessly.

Xiao Yu was startled awake.

He did not realize when he had fallen asleep, but the scene before him made him feel like he was still dreaming.

Yan Jin’s room that was just tidied up not long ago was now in a complete mess.

The messy bed was covered with goose down feathers. The floor was not excused from the tragedy either. One of the bedside cabinets was toppled over, and the little items inside the drawer were scattered all over the floor. The chandelier was smashed as the broken pieces dazzled the eyes.

What the hell, a break in? The house got robbed?

“Scram.” It was a low, deep voice.

It was Yan Jin.

Xiao Yu’s gaze landed on the person sitting at the end of the bed.

Yan Jin had his head lowered as he covered his eyes with one hand. Xiao Yu could not see his expression, but the usual elite image was nowhere in sight. Instead, there was a kind of dejectedness.

If Xiao Yu saw it correctly, there seemed to be some red markings on Yan Jin’s nails.

It seemed like there was someone besides Yan Jin.

Xiao Yu had no idea what had transpired and started to feel anxious. He didn’t bother considering the risk as he charged out of his cage. He thought that even if there was a killer on the loose, he must help Yan Jin no matter what. Even if he could not be of much help as a hamster, Xiao Yu could try to find a way to send a distress signal to the outside world instead.

“Don’t be like that. Why can’t we talk this over nicely?”

The other voice spoke – It was a man.

At this point, Xiao Yu had already run to the side of his iPad as he prepared to send the help signal at any moment.

The angle of the cage had blocked part of Xiao Yu’s view earlier. Now, he could very clearly see what the person Yan Jin was talking to looked like.

A fairly-young adult, delicate and pretty looks, estimated to be about twenty-five years old, and didn’t seem like a bad person.

But as soon as that thought appeared, Xiao Yu had rejected that idea immediately.

Even a hamster could hide dangerous little thoughts, much less a human. After Xiao Yu had been reborn, his thoughts on good appearances had already been decreased to a negative level.

When the iPad lit up, no one had noticed it.

Xiao Yu logged in to Yan Jin’s QQ straight away and found Chu Ge’s account.

The sentence ‘Help, call police’ was almost halfway done, but he stopped when Yan Jin said something.

“It’s impossible between us anymore. Stop pestering me.”

Xiao Yu always thought of himself as someone who could very quickly comprehend every situation. Any small matters that he heard could immediately be magnified into a big chunk of story. It was considered part of his professionalism after years as a designer. But when he heard that sentence, his mind blanked.

If that young man was swapped with a lady, then this scene would seem really familiar – That melodrama on the midnight segment had such a scene. However, of all people, that person was a man.

… A man?

Xiao Yu couldn’t process the confusing information that he just heard, but the conversation between the two of them had already continued.

“Why is it impossible between us? Touch your heart and say that, Yan Jin.” The young man slowly kneeled in front of Yan Jin and grabbed hold of the chairman’s other hand: “Give me another chance, okay? I know it’s my fault…”

“Yi… Chengcheng, we…”

For whatever reason, Xiao Yu felt that Yan Jin’s words seemed to be broken. Even his words weren’t articulated properly. It was as if, as if he was drunk.

“We… are not fated to be together.”

The young man reacted like he had heard the world’s biggest joke as he screamed in disbelief: “Not fated? Is that how you define our relationship?”

“Fate, fate!”

“Yan Jin! Tell me, do you still love me? Do you still think about our relationship?”

A long sigh was heard.

Yan Jin suddenly raised his head. At that moment, Xiao Yu spotted the unusual blush and eyes that were more ruthless than any other time.

And the obvious blood stain at the edge of his eye.

Xiao Yu instantly went into a frenzy – If he was a human, he would have charged forward with a weapon already.

Regardless of what grievances they had, why couldn’t they talk it out peacefully? Why must they get physical?

Getting physical was one thing, but you shouldn’t hit a person in the face, got it? Yan Jin’s face was not lacking compared to any idols out there. Why was there a need to hurt his face?!

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth together as he tried to keep himself calm.

Yan Jin was really drunk. Otherwise, he would not have let that person cause trouble in the house. If Chu Ge found out about this matter, the doctor would probably make a joke out of it for his entire lifetime.

However, even if Yan Jin was drunk, he could still give a clear and calm rejection:

“Yi Chengcheng, without me, you’re a dead man now.”

And this was the last of their ‘relationship’.

You accompanied me for three years, and I saved your life.

Let’s end it here.
