Lu Qiang looked at both of them annoyingly and said, "Hurry up or I'll throw both of you out of this house, in your messed up condition,"
Both looked at Lu Qiang and got up from the sofa to clean the mess they had created last night.
Both started to collect all the beer bottles from the floor first. Just then Jing Yuyan returned back from the kitchen and saw her brother and friend were picking up the bottles from the floor. She looked at Lu Qiang and asked in a mute, 'What's happening?'
Lu Qiang shook his head as saying 'Nothing' and asked her to sit beside him on the sofa by signaling the space beside him with his finger. Jiang Yuyan sat beside him, giving him a questioning look, but Lu Qiang replied with just a simple smile.
It took almost half hour for both of them to clean the whole place. Both looked tired and sat back in the sofa.
Lu Qiang looked at both of them and said in a strict way, "Who asked you to sit? Go and have bath first."
Both looked at him but didn't say anything. They got up from the sofa and walked in the direction of stairs quietly.
Both entered into Jiang Yang's room. Jiang Yang walked towards the wardrobe while Lu Feng was observing a room. His sight stopped at the guitar hanging on one of the wall in the room.
Jiang Yang suddenly said while going through his wardrobe, "Lu Feng, didn't it remind of our childhood days today?"
Lu Feng averted his sight from guitar and looked at Jiang Yang whose back was facing towards him. Lu Feng replied, "Yes! It did."
It was not like both of them were scared of Lu Qiang;it was something special between these friends. One can order around with full right on them and others will listen to it. They liked the way Lu Qiang was ordering them just like he used to do in their childhood days to make Jiang Yuyan happy.
"It is good to be back together again." Said Jiang Yang said and pulled out two sets of clothes from the wardrobe.
Lu Feng just nodded and said, "Hmmm!"
Jiang Yang turned around, handed him over the one set of clothes and said in a teasing way, "Do you want to be my bath buddy?"
Lu Feng took the clothes from his hands and said annoyingly, "Get lost!"
Jiang Yang smiled and said without being affected by Lu Feng's annoyed reaction, "I thought you would rub my back darling."
"Do you want me to call Lu Qiang to rub your back?" Lu Feng frowned and replied.
"Haha! No way. That handsome monster is fine with my sister only."
Then, he moved towards the bathroom and said, "I'll be back in a moment. Till then you can continue looking at that guitar or if you want you can play it like before"
Lu Feng had taken aback and asked, "Do you have eyes behind your head?" He was surprised to see how Jiang Yang knew, what was in his mind.
Jiang Yang replied, "Darling! I still know you better than anyone else." He said and entered inside the bathroom while smiling pleasantly.
Lu Feng continued to look at the guitar on the wall. He smiled after a while; like he remembered about something nice.
Jiang Yang and Lu Feng came downstairs, once they had a bath and got ready. Lu Qiang already ordered a food for them since he knew these two must be starving after emptying out the litres of alcohol in their stomachs last night.
Jiang Yuyan called both of them to the dining table and all four sat there. Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan didn't eat anything since they were full. They just sat there to give these two a company.
Jiang Yuyan looked at her brother and asked, "Brother Yang, why did you drink so much and why didn't you come to celebrate my birthday?"
Jiang Yang had one bite and said, "Do you really feel that I should have come there?" He then looked at Lu Qiang. Lu Qiang didn't say anything and maintained his usual cold expressions on his face.
Jiang Yuyan replied, "Yes! You should have come there."
Jiang Yang smiled with one corner of his lips up and said, "If I.. actually ..we" He pointed at Lu Feng and said, "If we had come there, then you would not have been able to have a fun."
Lu Feng didn't say anything and just continued eating the food in his dish with his head lowered down.
Jiang Yuyan asked with a questioning look, "Fun?"
Lu Qiang sighed and looked at Jiang Yang because he knew where this conversation was heading to.
Jiang Yang ignored Lu Qiang and looked at his sister and said with a mischievous smile on his face, "Looks like you enjoyed your birthday a lot. The scarf around your neck, in this hot weather explains a lot."
Jiang Yuyan coughed and couldn't say anything. Lu Qiang immediately passed her a glass of water and gave a killer gaze to Jiang Yang. She was still coughing and her face was red. Lu Qiang patted her back lightly.
Before leaving the duplex after a breakfast, Jiang Yuyan wrapped a scarf around her neck as there were red marks on it. Her dress was covering her neckline around her collarbone and shoulders but still the marks on her neck were visible.
Jiang Yang smiled even widely and said while looking at Lu Qiang, "I was just wondering, isn't she feeling hot to wrap a scarf around her neck, nothing else."
Jiang Yuyan didn't replied but Lu Qiang did.
He replied straight forwardly, "Do you want me to remove this scarf from her neck to make her feel better?"
Jiang replied, "No! I didn't said that. She is looking pretty like this."
Lu Qiang still continued to shut Jiang Yang's mouth, "If you are that curious to see my skills with your sister, then I have no problem to remove this scarf and show it to you."
"Cough**Cough!" Now it was a time for Jiang Yang to cough.
He had a sip of water and replied, "Nono! I am just thinking about to gift her best quality concealer so that she doesn't have to suffer from wrapping her neck with a scarf in such hot weather.
Lu Qiang replied, "You should have done that before."
Jiang Yang looked at Lu Qiang teasingly and said, "My bad." and smiled
Jiang Yuyan didn't know what to say to these shameless men in her life. One was her love and other one was her brother. She just preferred to stay quiet.
Lu Feng too continued to eat quietly. He was used to Lu Qiang's bold answers with his grandpa and now he was getting used to the shameless Jiang Yang
