Perfect for Kissing

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 playing around. Otherwise, why would he have that kind of thing on him? Making others happy while playing with them was definitely something his brother could handle.

The drinks on the table had run out, so 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 decorative displays.

Shen Can was actually already a little dizzy, but he had specifically said before coming that everyone should drink to their hearts' content, so it was hard for him to say he would stop now.

Shen Can had planned to keep forcing himself to drink, but when Su Nanxing saw him swaying even as he stood, 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."

It would have been better if he had not rested. The moment he did, Shen Can nearly fell asleep leaning there. He could probably have drunk a little more if he had kept going, but once he stopped, he could not do it anymore, especially now that the alcohol was fully hitting 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 heading 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 and simply looped his arms around Huo Xi's neck. Drunkenly, he said, "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, making him tilt his head and rub his sensitive earlobe before he answered, "Of course I know. Huo Xi. Walking like this... is really uncomfortable."

Huo Xi lowered his head and looked at Shen Can for a long while. When Shen Can asked to be carried again, Huo Xi 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, and his nose is so high. His lips have such a nice shape too. Mm... they're perfect for... kissing, hehe...]

After hearing that, Huo Xi unconsciously tightened his hold on Shen Can. 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 in that department too... I wonder who will get to enjoy that someday. Anyway, in the original plot... it seemed like no one did. Isn't that such a waste?]

No one had ever said anything so bold in front of Huo Xi. Although Shen Can had only said it in his head, Huo Xi had genuinely heard every word.

Huo Xi had never considered finding a partner before, but now he felt that perhaps he could. Shen Can seemed pretty good—good-natured, bold yet careful, 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 went back inside and discovered that Su Nanxing was gone.

Fortunately, a waiter told him that Su Nanxing had gone to the restroom. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He had been scared to death, thinking something had happened.

Shen Chi knocked on each restroom door and called Su Nanxing's name. This was a high-end club often visited by second-generation heirs from prominent families.

So Su Nanxing's name did not draw much attention. After all, everyone knew he was the eldest young master of the Su Household.

It was not until the last restroom that he heard 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 sounded 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 had happened. 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 struggled to stay conscious as he spoke to Shen Chi. Shen Chi obediently left and squatted outside 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 inside, Su Nanxing only asked for his phone so he could call his manager.

Shen Chi immediately jumped to the worst conclusion. This drug could not be resolved on its own and required that sort of thing, so Su Nanxing wanted to call his manager to arrange someone for him.

"You want to find someone else?" Su Nanxing had kept him before in the original plot, so he definitely understood those things. Calling his manager now had to mean asking her to arrange someone to take care of it, right?

Su Nanxing was nearly being driven mad by the sensation. He said again, "Give me the phone!" He had no time to explain. If he did not call a doctor over soon, he would not be able to take it anymore. He really was going crazy.

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 whether Shen Chi was planning to... Was Shen Chi serious?

After laying Su Nanxing on the bed, Shen Chi kissed his neck and said, "Su Nanxing, I think my feelings for you might not be so innocent. I think I kind of like you."

Ever since learning about their original plot that day, he had been unable to stop himself from looking at Su Nanxing or from wanting to appear wherever Su Nanxing was.

At first, he thought it was normal for his mood to be affected after learning what might happen in the future. Now, he no longer thought so.

Why was Su Nanxing his only sworn enemy? If anyone else had offended him so relentlessly, 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 words afterward.

Actually, he had regretted insulting 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 baffled he had been when he finally got a clear look at Su Nanxing's face, because logically, he should not have clashed with someone that good-looking.

But when he tried to reconcile, Su Nanxing had directly snapped back at him. After that, Su Nanxing had repeatedly taken the initiative to provoke him. Shen Chi lost all desire to make peace, and they gradually became sworn enemies.

After speaking, Shen Chi waited for Su Nanxing's answer. But Su Nanxing said nothing, so Shen Chi could not help lifting his head to look at him.

The corners of Su Nanxing's eyes were red, and teeth marks had been bitten into his lips. Seeing Shen Chi stop moving, Su Nanxing said, "Not continuing?"

Shen Chi wanted to say that Su Nanxing had not answered him yet, but this was obviously not the time to discuss that. Su Nanxing was already at his limit.

If Su Nanxing agreed to let him do this, did that count as an answer too?

Shen Chi lowered his head and kissed Su Nanxing's lips. As they kissed, Su Nanxing helped Shen Chi undo the buttons of his clothes.

"Hurry up... Are you a turtle or something?" Shen Chi was thoroughly angered by that. Had he not heard in the original plot that he had never treated Su Nanxing properly in that regard?

He had wanted to be gentler, yet Su Nanxing was still dissatisfied. Shen Chi tightened his hand around Su Nanxing's waist. "Remember, you're the one who told me to hurry. Don't blame me later."
