After making the arrangements, Shen Keke took his brother into Zhou Jingxuan's private room. If his brother performed well today, he should be able to catch Zhou Jingxuan's eye.
His brother was pretty good at having fun. Otherwise, why would he have that sort of thing on him? His brother would definitely be able to please someone and make them enjoy themselves.
Once the alcohol on the table had been finished, Shen Can called over a waiter and ordered more.
Several waiters pushed carts over. After placing a glass of wine in front of each of them, they used the remaining bottles to arrange a display.
Shen Can was already a little dizzy, but he had specifically told them before coming that they should drink to their hearts' content. It would not look good for him to say he could not drink anymore now.
Shen Can had planned to force himself to keep drinking, but when Su Nanxing saw how unsteadily he was standing, he said he would drink for him.
After saying that, Su Nanxing took Shen Can's drink and downed it. "Let him rest for a while. I'll drink with you guys."
It would have been better if he had not rested. The moment he did, Shen Can nearly fell asleep leaning there. If he had kept drinking, he could probably have managed a little more, but once he stopped, he was done for—especially now that the alcohol had fully hit him.
Huo Xi checked the time and saw that it was late. The others were nearly drunk as well, so he told Shen Chi that he was going home and asked whether he should drop Shen Can off on the way.
Shen Chi nodded. "He's already drunk like that. Take him home first. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Huo Xi pulled Shen Can to his feet, wrapped an arm around him, and headed out. After walking for a while, Shen Can seemed to find it uncomfortable. He simply threw his arms around Huo Xi's neck and said drunkenly, "Carry... carry me."
"Do you know who I am?" Huo Xi leaned close to Shen Can's ear and asked softly.
The warm breath Huo Xi exhaled tickled Shen Can. He could not help turning his head and rubbing his sensitive earlobe before saying, "Of course I do. Huo Xi. Walking like this... is really uncomfortable."
Huo Xi lowered his head and looked at Shen Can for a long time. When Shen Can asked to be carried again, he decisively picked him up.
Shen Can was not quiet at all on the way to the parking lot. He looked calm and obedient as he stared at Huo Xi, but Huo Xi could hear his thoughts.
[He picked me up... so easily. We're so close like this. He's so handsome. His nose is so straight, and the shape of his mouth is pretty too. Mm... it's perfect for... kissing, hehe...]
After hearing that, Huo Xi's arms around Shen Can unconsciously tightened. Only when Shen Can let out a hiss did he loosen his grip again.
[He's carried me for so long without even breathing hard... He must be really good at that sort of thing too... I wonder who will get to enjoy that someday. Anyway, in the Original Plot... it seemed like no one ever did. Isn't that a waste?]
No one had ever said anything so bold in front of Huo Xi. Although Shen Can had only said it in his mind, Huo Xi had genuinely heard it.
Huo Xi had never considered the matter of finding a partner before, but now he felt that he could. Shen Can seemed quite good—kind-hearted, bold yet thoughtful, capable, and adorable.
It was hard to imagine that one day, he would use the word adorable to describe someone.
After watching everyone get into their cars and leave one by one, Shen Chi returned and discovered that Su Nanxing was gone.
Fortunately, a waiter told him that Su Nanxing had gone to the restroom. Only then did he let out a breath of relief. He had been scared to death, thinking something had happened.
Shen Chi knocked on each restroom door one by one, calling Su Nanxing's name. This was a high-end club that many second-generation heirs from wealthy families frequented.
So Su Nanxing's name did not draw much attention. After all, everyone knew he was the eldest young master of the Su Household.
Not until the very last restroom did he hear Su Nanxing answer him. Su Nanxing called out, "Stop knocking."
Shen Chi felt that something was very wrong with Su Nanxing's condition. That "stop knocking" had been far too soft, and it had come out in broken fragments.
Shen Chi rammed the door open and saw Su Nanxing leaning against the wall, his face flushed red and his clothes disheveled.
He quickly understood what was happening. Su Nanxing had been drugged. Shen Chi rushed over, picked him up, and soothed him. "Let's get out of here first."
Once they arrived at the hotel, Shen Chi filled the bathtub with water before taking Su Nanxing inside.
"Get out." Su Nanxing tried his best to stay conscious as he spoke to Shen Chi. Shen Chi obediently went out and squatted by the bathroom door to wait.
After a long while, Shen Chi heard Su Nanxing call for him and thought he was better. But when he went in, Su Nanxing asked him for his phone because he wanted to call his manager.
Shen Chi immediately jumped to the worst conclusion. This drug could not be dealt with alone; he had to do that. So Su Nanxing wanted to call his manager to arrange someone for him.
"You want to find someone else?" Su Nanxing had kept him as a lover in the Original Plot, so he definitely knew about such things. Calling his manager at a time like this meant asking her to arrange someone to take care of it, did it not?
Su Nanxing was nearly losing his mind from holding it in and said again, "Give me the phone!" He had no time to explain. If he did not call a doctor now, he would not make it. He really was about to lose his mind.
Shen Chi looked at Su Nanxing's body soaking in the bathtub, his throat bobbing. "Wouldn't I do? Why go out of your way to find someone else?"
After saying that, he lifted Su Nanxing out of the water. Su Nanxing had never intended to find anyone else. Looking at the person holding him, he wondered, Shen Chi wants to... with me? Is Shen Chi serious?
After laying Su Nanxing on the bed, Shen Chi kissed his neck and said, "Su Nanxing, I think my feelings toward you might not be so pure. I think I might like you a little."
Ever since learning about their Original Plot that day, he had kept finding himself unable to resist looking at Su Nanxing and unable to resist appearing at the same events as him.
At first, he had thought it was normal for his mood to be affected because he knew what might happen later. Now, he no longer thought so.
Why was Su Nanxing his only sworn enemy? If anyone else had offended him so persistently, he would have beaten them into who knew what long ago.
Su Nanxing was different. Aside from the first time, when they had nearly come to blows, they had only traded insults afterward.
In fact, he had regretted mocking Su Nanxing that day. He had been in such a bad mood that he had not even felt like looking at what Su Nanxing looked like.
He still remembered how incredulous he had been when he finally saw Su Nanxing clearly afterward. By all rights, he should not have clashed with someone so good-looking.
Yet when he had tried to make peace, Su Nanxing had immediately snapped back at him. After that, Su Nanxing had taken the initiative to pick fights every time. Shen Chi lost all desire to reconcile, and they gradually became sworn enemies.
After Shen Chi finished speaking, he waited for Su Nanxing's answer. When Su Nanxing said nothing, Shen Chi could not help lifting his head to look at him.
The corners of Su Nanxing's eyes were red, and his lips bore teeth marks from where he had bitten them himself. Seeing that Shen Chi had stopped moving, Su Nanxing asked, "You're not continuing?"
Shen Chi wanted to say that Su Nanxing had not answered him yet, but this was clearly not the time to discuss it. Su Nanxing could not hold out any longer.
If Su Nanxing was willing to let him do this to him, did that not also count as an answer?
Shen Chi lowered his head and kissed Su Nanxing on the lips. As they kissed, Su Nanxing helped Shen Chi undo the buttons of his shirt.
"Hurry up... Are you a turtle or something?" Su Nanxing's words infuriated Shen Chi. Had he not heard in the Original Plot that he had never properly satisfied Su Nanxing in that regard?
He had wanted to be gentler, yet Su Nanxing was still dissatisfied. Shen Chi's hand tightened around Su Nanxing's waist. "Remember, you're the one who told me to hurry up. Don't blame me."
