An idiot who couldn't keep his damn mouth shut!

Only after shouting that did Song Wenjing notice the position those two were in.

He had been too far away earlier to see clearly, but he had vaguely sensed how close they were and assumed they were embracing.

Now that he took a closer look, he realized how strange their position was. They were practically kissing!

What kind of man stood like that?!

It was one thing if Chi An hadn't noticed, but was something wrong with Fu Yanci's eyes? Of all the places to stand, did he have to stand between someone else's legs?!

Even if they had known each other before and were close, surely they couldn't do that?!

And then there was Fu Yanci carrying Chi An over his shoulder and running off. Did he have some special fetish? He kept slinging people over his shoulder! Chi An had actually managed not to throw up. Song Wenjing truly admired his constitution.

His gaze darted between the two. Song Wenjing kept feeling that something was off, but his brain had temporarily short-circuited, and he couldn't think of it. The answer was right on the tip of his tongue, yet he just couldn't get those words out.

"What was it again..."

No longer in the mood to argue, Song Wenjing rubbed his chin and stood right beside them, staring straight at him and occasionally muttering a few words.

[Seriously, where are your manners? Couldn't you watch from over there? Did you have to come closer?]

[Song Wenjing, I admit that, for this one second, I kind of don't want to be your fan. I even want to kick you out.]

[Where's Fu Yanci? Hurry up and pull out your atomic bomb and gun him down. I haven't seen enough of you getting strung along like a dog.]

[How should I put this? You have manners, but not many. Aren't you afraid Song Wenjing's fan club will screenshot you treating him like that?]

[Happiness lasts a moment, but regret lasts a lifetime. If I don't get to see what makes me happy now, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. For the sake of that lifetime, I can put certain affiliations aside.]

[Song Wenjing: where are your manners?]

With the mood abruptly broken, Fu Yanci's expression instantly darkened, an extremely dangerous storm seeming to brew in his deep, ink-dark eyes.

Just then, Chi An reached out and pushed Fu Yanci away, then jumped down from the table. Ignoring both of them, he headed straight for the doorway, but as he passed Fu Yanci, the other man caught his wrist in a tight grip.

"Where are you going?"

Chi An: "?"

What was wrong with him? Couldn't he bear to be apart anymore?

Seeing that things were going wrong, the three hiding behind the door rushed out. Before anyone could react, two people suddenly appeared on either side of Song Wenjing.

Ren Anwen and Ren Wuyang stood to his left and right, grabbing his arms to take him away, while Chi Shuran stood between Chi An and Fu Yanci, staring straight at the hand gripping Chi An's wrist.

"Get your paw off him! Who said you could grab my brother?!"

"What are you two doing? Why are you taking me inside?!"

Dragged forward by the two of them, Song Wenjing kept pulling back and yelling, his voice so loud that the family rushing out of the courtyard couldn't help covering their ears.

"You kids stay here for now. I'll grab something and head up to rescue them!"

The chicken's original owner ran up the mountain carrying a stick. The woman following behind muttered as she passed Song Wenjing, "Goodness, boys these days sure have loud voices."

The noise made Fu Yanci's head throb, and with his chance to be alone with Chi An gone, his mood grew even darker.

Clearly, Ren Anwen and Ren Wuyang knew how to read the room. Song Wenjing and Chi Shuran were the difficult ones. Remembering something Song Wenjing had mentioned to him before, Fu Yanci lifted his eyes. "Shut your mouth now, go inside, and stay there. I'll buy you that car you want."

!!!

"Really?!"

His eyes lighting up, Song Wenjing pulled his arms out of their hands and strode quickly over to Fu Yanci. His eyes were full of delight as he looked at him, and his voice unconsciously rose a couple of notches.

One look from Fu Yanci made Song Wenjing manually shut his mouth, obediently miming zipping his lips. He headed inside of his own accord, not forgetting to bring along the Ren siblings, who were standing dumbly nearby.

A car?!

The car Song Wenjing wanted?!

Chi Shuran's breath caught. Her eyes cautiously turned toward Chi An, who gave her an expressionless sidelong glance. "Do I look like an idiot with too much money?"

Ah!!!

There was only one car Song Wenjing could possibly want, a limited edition with just three in the entire world. If he actually got one, she would never be able to hold her head up around him again!

She, Chi Shuran, could lose to anyone but that idiot Song Wenjing!

"Oh, come on, big brother~~~" Taking Chi An's arm and gently shaking it, Chi Shuran blinked her brown eyes, anticipation sparkling in them.

"Just buy it for me~~~"

Watching coldly as Chi Shuran wheedled with Chi An, Fu Yanci's facial muscles tightened, his teeth grinding audibly. His hand at his side clenched into a fist, while his other hand still held Chi An's wrist firmly.

Fuck. Not even his sister!

"I'll buy it for you. Same as Song Wenjing: shut your mouth and stay inside. Your brother is mine for today!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief. Once she confirmed that she hadn't misheard, delight filled her face, and a trace of excitement colored her words. "Yes, Your Majesty. Just give the word if you need anything. If my brother doesn't behave, you can tell me. I can call home and report him."

"Enjoy your meal-pfft, I mean, have a lovely time. Goodbye!"

Swiftly withdrawing her hands, Chi Shuran delivered that last sentence in a perfect announcer's voice, then quickly turned and ran inside, even thoughtfully closing the door.

It had taken less than a minute. Chi An watched Chi Shuran leave and was forced to accept the fact that she had sold him out for a car. He stood rooted to the spot as though struck by lightning, unable to process it for a long while.

Only when Fu Yanci shook his hand did Chi An come back to his senses. His face flushed bright red as he said through gritted teeth, "Chi Shuran!"

The corners of Fu Yanci's lips lifted into a teasing smile. Perfectly satisfied, he picked Chi An up and put him back on the table. "Everyone who needed to leave has left. No one's going to interrupt us now."

"Touch me again and you can say goodbye to that hand!"

He was a grown man, a full six feet tall, after all. Where was his dignity if another man kept carrying him around like a little kid?!

"Why? I could hold you before, so why can't I now?"

"I never agreed to break up. You don't get to decide that on your own!"

In his agitation, Fu Yanci blurted out two sentences that instantly made Chi An's eyes widen. His gaze swept quickly over the camera in the cameraman's hands, and he hastily reached out to cover Fu Yanci's mouth.

Seeing his hand coming, Fu Yanci obligingly leaned his face toward it. "What's wrong? Want to pat my head again? Go ahead, go ahead."

"Pat my ass! You idiot who can't keep his damn mouth shut!"
