The studio’s new game,《Laughter in the Vast Seas》, had attracted many investors. To secure the highest-quality capital, Gu Yansheng no longer had time to stay home to spend time with their child. He had to start running around attending social events. 

***

When Shen Kanyu arrived at the restaurant, Gu Yansheng lay on the table motionless. Several studio employees were surrounding him, but Su Tong was nowhere to be seen.

These people must be the new recruits of Gu Yansheng’s gaming and entertainment studio; Shen Kanyu has never seen them before. They also acted like they didn’t recognize him.

After greeting them, he bent over and gently stroked the back of Gu Yansheng’s head. “A-Sheng?”

Gu Yansheng’s cheeks were slightly flushed, his eyes were tightly closed, and his long, unmoving eyelashes cast a soft shadow on his face.

Shen Kanyu gently poked his face. “You big fool. Why did you drink this much when you can’t even hold any liquor?”

Did something happen to you that’s making you so sad?

Did Su Tong say something? Why would Su Tong leave a drunk A-Sheng here alone?

Shen Kanyu inexplicably felt uneasy, but now wasn’t the time to probe into the matter. A-Sheng was blackout drunk, and it was really easy to catch a cold like this. He had to get him home first.

When the taxi stopped at the neighborhood gate, Shen Kanyu got Gu Yansheng on his back with the aid of the driver. 

Seeing Shen Kanyu’s strained yet careful actions, the driver couldn’t refrain from saying, “How about you support him as he walks? Thing is, you can force drunk people to walk as you support them.”

The driver wasn’t the type to meddle in other people’s affairs. But the reason he spoke up was primarily because he saw this passenger was already enduring a stomach ache the entire ride. There were several times his breathing stilled from the pain, yet not a yelp of pain was heard. This passenger had even told him to stop the car midway so that he could throw up by the flowerbeds, but the driver didn’t see any movement from him. After a while, he got off the taxi to check on him, but he found that he hadn’t thrown up anything. He was just digging his arm into his stomach as his body curled up like a shrimp, eyes hazy from the pain he was in.

The driver asked whether he wanted to go to the hospital to which he responded by shaking his head, saying that he needed to get his drunk friend home, and then even showed him a radiant smile. No one would believe there was anything wrong with him if it wasn’t for his deathly pale complexion and sweat-soaked face. 

Now this passenger had on a smile as clear as the vast skies. The driver was almost blinded by his set of large white teeth.

“Nope, he’s my baby.” Shen Kanyu was more shameless since Gu Yansheng was unconscious. “Look at this delicate skin and body. It’d be bad if he fell by any chance.”

“Don’t drink so much from now on, okay? Or else your stomach will be damaged. Having stomach pain really hurts. Also, Su Tong is so skinny and poor in health. You can’t bear to let him carry you home, right? You can’t drink too much again. Be good.”

“I don’t know if A-Tong can take very good care of you in the future. You’re a picky eater and a light sleeper, both missing meals and sleep.” Shen Kanyu sighed with worry.

He always felt he wouldn’t be able to rest assured no matter whose care he left A-Sheng in. Although he hadn’t taken good care of A-Sheng himself.

But he doesn’t have the chance to compensate. He doesn’t have the chance to take care of him anymore.
