CH 42

Ling Changfeng’s temple throbbed twice.

A strange silence fell on the dinner table again.

However, the silence this time was different from the previous ones. The expressions on everyone’s faces were no longer pure shock, fear, or forced smiles.

Rather, it is a diverse expression of shock, fear, and forbearance of laughter.

General Waite, who was already a little drunk, widened his eyes, and opened his mouth to ask: “What did he just say? What cat?”

Xu Xinghe turned his head and repeated loudly: “I said, this is my big ca… uh! Uuuuuu!”

This time, Ling Changfeng made a quick move the moment he opened his mouth, and covered Xu Xinghe’s mouth.

Unfortunately, he was still half a beat too late.

Everyone finally heard and finally dared to be sure that what Xu Xinghe was talking about was a big cat, and it was their majestic Marshal Ling himself.

The pot exploded.

The atmosphere, from the silent silence just a moment ago, suddenly turned into a volcanic eruption-like uproar.

“Pfft, hahahaha, big cat? Help! What’s with this description??”

“Xiao Xu awesome! So brave!”

“Hahaha I can’t anymore! How do you feel now, Lao Ling1? Did he call you that before??”

“Is this some kind of special thing between you?”

“Hahaha, who though of it?”

Like his friends who had never seen Xu Xinghe drunk before, Ling Changfeng and them had only heard people describe him as “lion”, “tiger”, “eagle” and other animals.

Across the entire Gamma galaxy, or even the entire Alliance, no one would associate this “Black God of War” with a soft and arrogant plush creature like a cat.

Lin Ting was out of breath from laughing. He stopped drinking alcohol, and stopped arguing with Waite. Instead, he hooked Waite’s shoulder and smiled, “Hahaha Changfeng, you have a new nickname! Let me prophesize – this nickname will appear at your annual class reunion in the future, and it will take at least ten years to forget! Oh no, maybe it will follow me to the grave! Hahaha…”

Ling Changfeng, who was the center of discussion, did not speak.

He didn’t even look at his old classmates.

The pair of different pupils stared at Xu Xinghe wholeheartedly from beginning to end.

Before he could cover the little mouth of this guy, he vaguely heard “mine”-

My big cat.

With this prefix, it seems that even this embarrassing and absurd name can be accepted in an instant.

The only person who was unhappy at the table was Xu Xinghe.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

He struggled to escape from Ling Changfeng’s claws, but the opponent was so much stronger than him that he couldn’t break free.

Seeing that it was too difficult, Xu Xinghe suddenly became quiet.

Raising a pair of black eyes of the deer, he looked at Ling Changfeng eagerly.

Ling Changfeng: “…”

Facing that gaze, he can only be soft-hearted.

He looked away and wondered if this guy would continue to speak amazingly after letting go of his hand.

However, before Marshal Ling could finish thinking, the next moment, his fingertips suddenly trembled, and he pulled back his hand like an electric shock—

Xu Xinghe licked his palm.

The slippery and soft touch suddenly exploded in the palm of his hand.

Itchy, ticklish.

Ling Changfeng looked up to see Xu Xinghe who had successfully counterattacked smirking.

Inadvertently, he gently licked his pale pink lips, like a cat who had succeeded in stealing fish, smiling very proudly.

Completely unaware that he was fanning the flames.

His lips were full and charming with a natural smile.

The mismatched pupils fixed on these pink lips, and the light in the eyes flickered dimly.

An invisible storm surged in his eyes.

Xu Xinghe finally broke free from the devil’s claws, and after a while, he suddenly realized something again, widened his eyes, turned his head and began to question Ling Changfeng: “Why didn’t you let me talk just now?”

“Hahaha yeah, Changfeng, why? Don’t let people talk? He didn’t say anything wrong.” Parrish smiled and gloated beside him.

When Xu Xinghe heard that someone was supporting him, he became even more confident: “Look! The obedient Parrish2also said that I was right!”

Parrish: “…”

Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe silently.

Although the other party has already started his drunk talk, he has not yet entered the stage of hugging.

He didn’t know how long it would take for his little spouse to become the same as last time –

Fragile, soft, lovely.

Can’t wait to be by his side all the time.

That person’s eyes were full of attachment that night. Even today, whenever he recalls that evening, his heartbeat still slows by half a beat.

Ling Changfeng thought for three seconds and decided to evacuate in time.

He didn’t want others to see Xu Xinghe’s real appearance after being drunk.

No one can.

Not even a moment.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the evacuation plan was announced, it was opposed by many of his old classmates and Xu Xinghe himself.

“Why did you leave so quickly? Didn’t we just start?”

“Yeah, we just finished eating, and the second half hasn’t started yet.”

“It’s still early, let’s talk for a while before leaving.”

Waite suddenly said, “Yeah, eat and drink enough, and we can also go to the box upstairs to sing a song? By the way, call a few more—”

This time, Parrish quickly covered his mouth with his hands and stopped his next rant: “Brother, if you have enough food and drink, can you please shut up?”

Waite also finally realized that this party was different from usual. He also came with his wife.

He turned his head, looked at his wife beside him stiffly, and began to add: “That is, what song do I sing with a tone-deaf person! Don’t go, don’t go.”

Dr. Lu Zimo’s ears moved, and he turned to Parrish with eyebrows raised. “Call a few more what?”

“Call a few more snacks, food.” Parrish smiled awkwardly.

Dr. Lu’s eyes were a little playful and a little probing making Parrish’s scalp tingle. He asked softly, “When you met before, you didn’t ask for a special service before, right?”

Su Lan laughed as she looked at her husband Lin Ting, who suddenly became alert and winked at his remaining classmates, and snorted: “No wonder everyone was so nervous before coming here.”

There was no sound at the dinner table. Everyone tacitly decided to go home to come up with an explanation for the impending cross-examination on this issue.

In the silence, only Xu Xinghe asked curiously: “Special service? What special service? Is it a callgirl?”

Ling Changfeng: “…”

Others: “…”

Even if he knew Xu Xinghe would not remember what happened when he was drunk, Marshal Ling explained to the person in front of him, “No.”

After a pause, he added, “I didn’t.”

He wasn’t finished yet, and continued to explain: “As I said before, I don’t take part in any entertainment activities.”

If it weren’t for his lack of courage, Parrish would almost want to cover Ling Changfeng’s mouth.

He hurriedly turned his head and explained to his own family’s Dr. Lu: “Singing ah, it’s just singing. With so many people together, can we do anything out of the ordinary? Don’t worry, I will never do anything to wrong you!”

Dr. Lu gave him a leisurely look: “Have a thief’s heart but no thief guts, right?”

Then he left five words: “Go back home and talk.”

Everyone stopped making a fuss now, and began to explain to their partners.

Ling Changfeng turned to Xu Xinghe again and said, “Let’s go home.”

Xu Xinghe still shouted, “I’m not leaving.”

Ling Changfeng asked him, “Why are you staying?”

Xu Xinghe thought for a while: “I can have two more drinks!”

Ling Changfeng looked at him with a calm expression and said nothing.

Xu Xinghe shrank his neck when he saw it, and couldn’t help but change his words: “I’ll stay and sleep?”

Ling Changfeng: “…You’re very self-conscious.”

He got up and took the initiative to pick up Xu Xinghe’s denim jacket, then bid farewell to his friends. “Xinghe is drunk. I’ll take him back first, and we’ll meet again next time.”

Hearing his words, Xu Xinghe refused: “Who said I’m drunk?”

Ling Changfeng: “I said.”

Xu Xinghe: “Why do you say I’m drunk? A marshal can slander people at will?”

Ling Changfeng paused for a moment, and suddenly suspected that Xu Xinghe did it on purpose just now. He asked blankly, “Didn’t you just say that I’m a cat?” He kept his eyes fixed on Xu Xinghe while speaking. “Who the hell am I?”

He actually wanted another answer in his mouth than “my big cat”.

Xu Xinghe was stunned.

He tilted his head and looked at Ling Changfeng for a long time, his eyes gradually blurred: “You are…”

Ling Changfeng saw that he was beginning to fall into a daze, and his heart moved.

He shook off his coat. He put a hand on Xu Xinghe’s shoulder, then wrapped one hand over his shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Go home.”

“Okay.” This time, Xu Xinghe didn’t fight back. His tone and volume also softened by a couple of notches.

Seeing this, everyone present didn’t stop them anymore. After promising to meet again in the near future, they also got up to send the two to the door.

Xu Xinghe didn’t say a word the whole time, and followed Ling Changfeng closely.

And Ling Changfeng’s hand was always on his shoulder, as he took his person all the way into the car.

in the car.

Xu Xinghe sat quietly by the window, silent, just staring at the night outside the window in a daze.

Ling Changfeng has already started to think, how to face the next storm.

He informed He Han to prepare hangover medicine, and planned to have Xu Xinghe drink it after getting back.

But when he turned his head, he saw Xu Xinghe’s dazed and well-behaved appearance, as well as his pink cheeks due to drunkenness. He had to admit—

Actually, he had some expectations.

Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes, held back for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look out the window on the other side.

He didn’t dare think about it, or even look back.

The two of them started looking at the scenery from left to right.

The inside of the car was unusually quiet.

After a while, Ling Changfeng suddenly felt the person move towards him.

His heartstrings tightened slightly, but he didn’t move.

Pretend not to know and keep looking at the scenery.

Seeing this, Xu Xinghe moved again.

Get closer, get closer…

“What are you doing?” Ling Changfeng finally spoke, but he still didn’t look back.

His mind was no longer on the outside scenery, but his eyes still drifted out of the car window.

He could feel that Xu Xinghe was very close to him, and he was about to touch him.

Xu Xinghe, who was asked, did not answer, and was still approaching Ling Changfeng little by little.

Just as Ling Changfeng was about to speak again, his voice suddenly fell back into his throat.

His hand hanging by his side was moved twice by a few nimble fingers.

As Xu Xinghe lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, he asked in a low voice, “Why are you ignoring me?”
