Chapter 100: Setting Sail 2 (2/2)

In his heart, Changle was the one and only and always had a sole place in his affections.

When he pointed his gun at himself, he thought he could finally meet his brother.

But now he's still alive.

Ivanov was right. Changle didn’t want him to die and saved his life once again, which probably led to his rebirth.

Now that he had failed to live up to Changle’s expectations before, this time he couldn’t end his life again.

Chen An sat on the deck looking out to sea until the night closed in, when orange lights fell across the sea and the sky was lurid with the setting sun as though there were flames burning.

“Baby?”

No response.

“An?”

No response again.

Ivanov crept up to Chen An, crouched down and patted him on the shoulder. The guy put one hand on his forehead and grabbed Ivanov's hand, saying with a weary sigh, “Take me down.”

The beer bottle was empty. It fell on the deck and rolled to the corner when the sea breeze was blowing.

Ivanov supported Chen An with his hands and took him into the cabin room. The guy was visibly drunk and lay on the bed. Ivanov helped to take off his shoes and socks.

“Are you sleepy, baby?” Sitting by the bed, Ivanov began to unbutton Chen An’s shirt.

As the clothes unfolded, a bare-chested Chen An leaped out at Ivanov. The hickeys in his chest Ivanov left several days ago were mostly gone, leaving only a few bite marks there. Ivanov reached out and stroked his chest tenderly. Staring at the calm face, he bent and kissed Chen An on the lips, which was soft and beer-scented.

God knows, Chen An got drunk every time he consumed alcohol, of which Ivanov was overly fond.

Laying his fingers on Chen An’s waistband, Ivanov broke into a sly smile, “Baby, I don’t expect you to fall in love with me immediately, but I believe your body will love me first.”
