CH 130

Chapter 130 Again

Jian Chi was brought there almost by force.

“How do you…” A boy was about to ask He Tan something when he looked up and paused when he saw Jian Chi. He Tan acted as if he didn’t notice the strange atmosphere, he pulled Jian Chi to his side, while the handsome boy sat quietly in the corner.

“I happened to meet a friend on the road, and it took a little time.”

Jian Chi wondered if the other party recognized him, his expression was hard to figure out, and he couldn’t tell whether he was surprised or disgusted. Jian Chi didn’t have the time to observe, and repeated his rejection just now, in a tougher tone: “President He, my friend is still waiting for me upstairs.”

“You can wait a while to find him, your friend at this time can’t wait?” He Tan smiled. Originally seen as a symbol of good temper in Jian Chi’s eyes, but now there was a trace of coercion that was hard to ignore. Jian Chi didn’t understand why He Tan was so different from the friendly image at the beginning, but maybe this was his original appearance.

“He Tan, when did you make a new friend, don’t you want to introduce him?” The boy who had been watching Jian Chi made a statement, and the chat between friends sounded investigative and curious.

He Tan poured himself a small glass of alcohol and leaned back on the sofa naturally, “I thought I didn’t need to introduce any more, but from your appearance it seems like you don’t recognize Jian Chi?” 

The boy’s face was not very good for a while, but he quickly recovered. Jian Chi, who was sitting across from him, couldn’t ignore the glances he occasionally swept over. For some reason, it seemed like he was trying to remind him of something. Unfortunately, they were not familiar enough to see through each other’s inner thoughts just by looking at each other. Jian Chi didn’t even know these people and what they were called.

The rigid atmosphere was so short that it was like an illusion of Jian Chi’s alone. Compared with the noise on the first floor, the music on the second floor was not so ostentatious. Jian Chi lowered his head and planned to send a message to Wen Chuan to ask where he was. He saw a new message five minutes ago. Shao Hang: Where are you?

Before the word ‘Second Floor’ was typed out, Jian Chi’s shoulder was suddenly bumped. Before looking over, the panicked ‘I’m sorry’ had sounded three times in a row. This movement seemed to disturb He Tan, who was chatting with his friend. He glanced at the boy, and the impatience between his eyebrows rose briefly, which was immediately covered by a smile.

“Why are you so careless? Hurry up and apologize to Jian Chi.”

Jian Chi said, “It’s okay, he had already apologized.” However, the boy could only apologize desperately as if he could only hear He Tan’s voice. It seems that someone was laughing, definitely not friendly laughter, Jian Chi also heard someone mention the word ‘Yu Chen’, was this boy called Yu Chen?

“Okay Yu Chen, didn’t you hear that Jian Chi had forgiven you? If you are so scared, just toast another glass of alcohol and be sincere.”

Someone suggested this indifferently, it sounded like a joke, but Yu Chen really poured himself a full glass of alcohol, his wrists were still shaking when he picked it up. He whispered “I’m really sorry” to Jian Chi, raised his head and drank it with difficulty. When he put down the empty cup, his face turned pale.

Jian Chi didn’t think it was funny at all, but everyone laughed and praised Yu Chen ‘good job’, it was unknown whether it was sincere or sarcastic. He Tan did not come out to stop it from beginning to end, maintaining the curvature of the corner of his mouth, but Jian Chi no longer felt that this face was as refreshing as the first time he saw it, instead it looked ugly and superficial at a glance.

“Jian Chi, do you want to return a toast? Otherwise, it will embarrass Yu Chen.”

The person who proposed to let Yu Chen toast laughed again, but this time he pointed the finger at Jian Chi. The boy who recognized Jian Chi at first frowned and seemed to want to stop them: “Forget it, it’s not necessary.”

“Why are you so worried? Those who don’t know might think you like Jian Chi and want to be a hero saving the beauty.”

“You…”

This was the first time Jian Chi had faced a PC other than Ji Huaisi, and it was also the first time he had discovered that even if they were in the same class, there was still a clear difference between people.

For example, the boy who spoke for him was not respected by He Tan and the others from beginning to end, and although He Tan, who was BC, didn’t say a word, he was still secretly suppressing and leading everyone. In other words, if He Tan had said ‘no’, these people wouldn’t make such a fuss.

But he did not do so.

Jian Chi felt that the scene at the moment was very familiar. The eyes of these people were like the bucket of water he had been splashed with, like a post that made people discuss Bai Xiyu a lot. The boy in front of him was waiting cautiously, and every move Jian Chi made was very important to him.

These people were bullying Yu Chen through him – this perception not only appeared in Jian Chi’s mind, but also appeared in Yu Chen’s dim eyes.

“Aren’t you going to drink? Yu Chen, look at you, your attitude is too insincere, who can give face to your broken face? How can Jian Chi forgive you, why don’t you have another drink to atone for your sins?”

Jian Chi’s indifference faded away. Seeing the faint hope in Yu Chen’s eyes, he pursed his lips. Without saying a word, he filled another glass of alcohol mechanically, raised his arms, and was about to say ‘I’m sorry’, but his hands were suddenly empty, and his expression changed. It was stuck on his face.

“I forgive you.”

After drinking the full glass of alcohol, the fire burned from the throat all the way to the stomach. Jian Chi put down the glass, and suddenly felt dizzy for a moment, like a piece of black film that passed by quickly, this glass of alcohol was stronger than expected.

At this time, He Tan handed a glass of water to Jian Chi in time, and said with concern, “Drink some water for a while, it seems that you are not used to whisky.”

Even if Jian Chi was extremely resistant to the water offered by He Tan, he was still forced to put it in the palm of his hand. The other party’s hand held the bottom of the cup and pushed it to Jian Chi’s mouth. The poor alcohol intake made Jian Chi feel like he was floating. He shook his head and tried to avoid it. Some cold and tasteless liquid flowed into his mouth, and the taste of water became very weird after drinking.

“Sorry, I didn’t think you couldn’t drink.”

He Tan’s voice faltered in his ears, Jian Chi pushed his arm away, just got up and was forced to sit back down. “Let go.”

“It’s only ten minutes, you can sit for a while. If you are drunk and run around, if something happens and Shen Shuting knows, he will never let me go.”

After he finished speaking, He Tan smiled, turning the words “he will never let go”, which should have been full of worry, into intriguing contempt. Jian Chi’s brain was working sluggishly, and he finally realized that He Tan and Shen Shuting were not friends at all, he had thought wrong from the very beginning.

He hates Shen Shuting.

This completely explained the strangeness when he met He Tan in the past. Jian Chi didn’t think that he should be completely blamed for his slowness. He Tan’s previous acting skills must have been difficult for anyone to see through, not to mention that Shen Shuting was aloof and indifferent to everyone. Even if he was walking with the former Ji Huaisi together, it’s hard to imagine them being friends. So Jian Chi naturally attributed Shen Shuting’s indifference to a special way of treating friends.

He would have never guessed in this direction at all, let alone that He Tan would dare to detain him so openly, but it was obviously not the first time that this had happened. Not a single person in the circle showed an unexpected expression, and no one took action. Jian Chi didn’t know if it was the stamina of the glass of alcohol or if He Tan fed him something else, the light and shadow in front of him became more and more chaotic. His body seemed to be held up by someone, and Jian Chi grabbed the person next to him with his last bit of consciousness.

“Help me, help me go… Downstairs, find Shao Hang…”

Yu Chen was completely stunned by the scene in front of him, and did not respond to Jian Chi. Jian Chi repeated it with difficulty. He believed that Yu Chen must have heard clearly this time, but he still sat there cringingly, bowing his head to avoid eye contact.

Jian Chi’s heart sank, and after staggering out, he looked over He Tan’s shoulder and saw a new person sitting next to Yu Chen, chatting again just like before. Yu Chen was pouring alcohol for them, and he didn’t look back, let alone get up.

“He won’t help you,” He Tan’s voice sounded in his ears, “he will only listen to me.”

“In the water, you added…”

“Don’t worry, it’s not a terrible thing.”

This sentence was almost in Jian Chi’s ear. The breath he exhaled gave Jian Chi a chill. He still had a vague consciousness, knowing that He Tan took him into the elevator to the third floor, maybe the fourth floor. The silence completely swept the noise downstairs, Jian Chi’s body lost strength, and he could only let the other party bring him into the bedroom, and the door was heavily locked.

“You know what? I like your type very much. When I first saw you, I could imagine how you would lose control, just like now.”

He Tan touched Jian Chi’s cheek affectionately, as if admiring an object for him to play with.

“Shen Shuting is very annoying, but his taste is decent.”

Jian Chi remembered the boy he met in front of the office, and Yu Chen just now, panting hard, “You… it’s disgusting.”

“Disgusting?” He Tan’s action paused. After a while, he chuckled, “Some people have said this too, but in the end, this kind of person was often the hardest to get rid of. Jian Chi, I don’t want you to become like that, that’s not cute anymore.”

Although Jian Chi struggled to regain his strength, he still couldn’t resist He Tan’s leisurely movements that gradually deepened. The clothes on his body were undone little by little, and Jian Chi wanted to get off the bed. He just grabbed the edge of the bed and was dragged back. He Tan’s breath stuck to his neck, and Jian Chi felt the urge to vomit, not sure if it was because of the alcohol or the other party’s approach.

“You…go away.”

“Do you still want to say your empty words…”

He Tan’s voice was interrupted by a knocking sound that almost smashed the door. He paused for a moment, then ‘tsk’, not light or serious, it seemed that he wasn’t ready to get up. After a few seconds of silence, there was a violent turbulence at the door. The people outside were trying to kick the door open – no matter who it was, Jian Chi felt unrepeatable gratitude and expectation for this.

He Tan seemed to have a premonition that he could no longer proceed, so he cursed lowly. Jian Chi’s weight suddenly lightened, and after a long time, fresh air poured into him, and he watched He Tan’s back as he walked towards the entrance.

After the crisp sound of the lock being opened, a chaotic fight, mixed with inaudible cursing, filled the room unprepared. Jian Chi didn’t know how much time had passed, during which he had been trying to get out of bed. He finally turned to the ground as he approached the edge of the bed, making a low, muffled sound through the carpet.

The movement at the entrance was getting farther and farther, and the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer. Jian Chi didn’t have time to look up, was caught off guard and was pulled into a hot embrace. The familiar breath dispelled the mark left by He Tan before, and Jian Chi was stiff. His body finally relaxed a little bit.

“Jian Chi, how do you feel? What did that b*stard do to you?”

Shao Hang’s question was mixed with a low tone, his chest heaving up and down because of the fight just now, letting out a hostile anger that couldn’t be restrained. For the first time, Jian Chi felt that this kind of sinister appearance was appropriate, and it was no longer annoying, so he tried his best to say: “N, not yet…”

“Did he force you to drink?”

Jian Chi nodded.

“What else?” Shao Hang asked coldly.

“I don’t know what he fed me, I can’t move…”

“How are you feeling now?” Shao Hang touched Jian Chi’s cheek with the back of his hand, “It’s hot.”

Shao Hang’s voice sounded like some magic power, the voice fell, and Jian Chi felt that his body was hot as if it was being roasted. Not from the skin to the body, but like a mass of fire in the body was ignited and spread throughout the body.

The tense nerves just now made Jian Chi completely ignore the strangeness in his body, and it was only at this time that he felt that something was wrong.

“I want to take a bath.”

The moment the cold water was turned on, Jian Chi shuddered, a lot of rationality poured back, and the fire in his body was suppressed by the cold water, causing wisps of white smoke.

However, when the water stopped for half a minute, the cluster of flames came out again, stronger than before, with a fierce heat that almost burned Jian Chi to ashes. He desperately wanted to turn on the cold water, but was stopped by Shao Hang.

“No, you’ll have a fever if you go on like this.”

Jian Chi had never felt so uncomfortable before. He knew the way, but he couldn’t find the source of the solution. He couldn’t tell whether his eyes were wet with cold water or tears. “I can’t stand it…”

Fuzzy in the line of sight, Shao Hang’s figure paused for a while, as if making a decision. He bowed his head and approached. Jian Chi knew what he was going to do, and the only remaining consciousness made him not avoid or think about anything else at all. Shao Hang’s lips pressed on him, and this moment seemed to find the source of the problem.

To touch, to penetrate, to grind. Jian Chi resisted the urge to respond, and let Shao Hang deepen the kiss until their clothes were all wet with cold water and their skin was hot. The two breaths were heavy, and after they separated, Shao Hang’s voice was slightly hoarse: “Does it feel better?”

Jian Chi didn’t know whether to nod or shake his head. “Again.”

The word seemed to turn on a switch in Shao Hang. Jian Chi was kissed tightly before he regained his senses, and he had no time to think about shame, relationships, these superfluous things at this moment, let alone whether he responded to Shao Hang. He didn’t think about anything other than his present instinct for comfort.

In the blur, his body fell back into the mattress, and the fear that had been suppressed just now swept back, and Shao Hang’s hug rescued Jian Chi from the chaos in time. He leaned against Jian Chi’s ear and breathed deeply: “Is it alright?”

Jian Chi didn’t know what this represented, but his body had already given him the answer.

He remembered how disgusting and helpless He Tan was when he approached him. At this moment, Shao Hang made the same move, but Jian Chi felt that his heart was beating unconsciously, almost jumping out of his chest.

“One more time.”

Shao Hang lowered his head and kissed him, this time they never parted again.
