When everyone was making a fuss, Wen Ling stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, “Who said you have to drink beer when having skewers? Right? Drink whatever you want, forcing it is no fun.”
The people around didn’t respond.
Wen Ling smiled faintly and said, “I’ll drink with you guys. Whoever passes out first is the loser.”
Xu Yuanhang quickly added, “Okay, okay, we were just joking, we don’t really want to force him to drink.”
To be honest, he felt like Wen Ling was really protective of An Wuyang, something he himself didn’t experience.
“Oh, the beer’s here, let me open it for you guys,” An Wuyang said with a smile, smoothly changing the subject, actively helping his classmates open their beers. “Here, Wen Ling.”
The canned beer was ice-cold. The boys took them and immediately took a sip.
Before long, the food arrived.
The food here was indeed delicious.
The classmates from all over the country chatted while eating, discussing their hometown specialties and social phenomena. Soon enough, they were on their third round of drinks.
Although Xu Yuanhang was a top student, he was also quite laid-back when it came to having fun.
“So, we’re future comrades-in-arms for the next four years. Being together is fate,” he said with a smirk. “To understand each other better, why don’t we play a game?”
A few boys looked at each other. “What game?”
Xu Yuanhang explained, “Simple. We take turns asking questions, and whoever gets it right drinks. This game requires honesty, otherwise, it’s no fun. What do you think?”
“I’m okay with that,” Wen Ling said, shaking his beer can in agreement.
“I’m in too,” An Wuyang said.
The other two boys nodded. “Okay, let’s start. Who’s going to ask the first question?”
“I’ll go,” Xu Yuanhang raised his hand, grinning lewdly. “First question: Who among us is still a virgin?”
“Come on!” Everyone booed and pointed fingers at Xu Yuanhang, condemning him for asking such a lewd question.
“Since we’re playing, let’s take it seriously,” Wen Ling tapped the table with his beer can, taking a sip first. “I am.”
The questioner made a triumphant gesture, looking at the others. “Who else wants to drink? Be honest, hurry up!”
Under his gaze, one of the thin classmates in the dorm blushed and drank.
The remaining two just sat there without moving.
Wen Ling glanced at the calm and composed little lamb classmate and muttered to himself, “Never judge a book by its cover.”
“It’s my turn, it’s my turn.” The thin classmate obviously wanted revenge and said, “People who are in a relationship drink.”
There was silence for two seconds.
Just when everyone thought they were all single, An Wuyang, facing the intense gaze of his classmates, picked up his coconut juice and took a sip. “I am.”
The expressions of everyone were all dumbfounded. Really? The only one in the room with a partner was him?
“Damn, you actually have a partner?” Xu Yuanhang couldn’t bear it and wanted to poke him with a bamboo skewer.
An Wuyang just smiled and said nothing, dodging Xu Yuanhang’s attacks by shrugging his shoulders.
“It’s my turn.” Wen Ling glanced at the non-virgin next to him, pinching the cold beer can. “Drink if you’ve ever liked someone older than you.”
The questioner himself didn’t have to participate.
This time, everyone except Wen Ling drank. Who hasn’t had a crush on some hot older girl during their puberty?
“My turn?” An Wuyang pointed to himself, grinning. “Hehe, drink if you currently have someone in your heart.”
The classmate who was bitterly crushing on the goddess gave him a murderous look, reluctantly drinking his beer. “You’re hitting too close to home, I’ve just managed to let go of my feelings.”
In this round, neither Wen Ling nor Xu Yuanhang drank. One didn’t want a girlfriend and the other wanted one but didn’t have a target.
“Last question… Let me clarify first, there’s no other meaning, you don’t have to declare.” The remaining chubby classmate said, “You can drink if you’re okay with homosexuality.”
These days, no one should be unaware of what homosexuality means.
“Hey, is it okay with others doing it, or doing it yourself?” Xu Yuanhang asked.
“Well… being okay with doing it yourself,” the chubby guy said.
The classmates who had just picked up their drinks froze. That was a no-go, they absolutely couldn’t accept being okay with doing it themselves.
Although the chubby classmate said it was optional, An Wuyang still picked up his coconut juice and took a big sip. “I’m okay with it.”
His attitude was so straightforward that several guys stared in astonishment. It was him again?
Wen Ling raised an eyebrow, seemingly realizing something, with a knowing expression.
“Um, um… Your partner isn’t a guy, is it?” Xu Yuanhang’s mouth formed an ‘O’, but what he admired wasn’t An Wuyang’s homosexuality, but his open-minded attitude.
“Ah, he is.” An Wuyang was prepared to be looked at with strange eyes, with a gentle and calm smile on his face. “We’ve been together for over a year, and our relationship is very stable.”
“Over a year?” The chubby classmate was astonished. “You’ve been together since senior year?”
“No, I’m from the year before, I took a gap year last year,” An Wuyang said. “I’m a year older than you guys, can you tell?”
Everyone: “…”
Tonight, they received too many surprises from Little An.
“Do you guys mind?” Despite finally making some friends of the same age, the little angel was still anxious.
“Ah, not at all,” everyone hurriedly waved their hands. “It’s the modern era, same-sex marriage has been legal for six years, right?”
Only Wen Ling didn’t express his opinion, while Xu Yuanhang secretly nudged his foot under the table.
“This is your private matter,” the gentle and water-like boy smiled. “We’re just classmates, you don’t have to care too much about what others think.”
An Wuyang understood this principle, but… wanting to be accepted by others was a normal psychological desire, right?
“Well, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s continue eating.” The young man smiled, revealing a sunny and bright smile. “I promised to treat you all tonight, so don’t worry about saving money for me.”
Meanwhile, at the apartment,
Having finished his work, Huo Yunchuan had a not-so-tasty dinner and began to miss someone.
He couldn’t help but take out his phone and check the location of his little angel.
XX Barbecue Stall, what’s this?
Huo Yunchuan stared at the location for a long time, confirming and affirming that it wasn’t just a coincidence that the little angel passed by here. It was obvious that he was inside eating and drinking…
“You little liar…” he frowned.
After a while, he grabbed his car keys and rushed out like a gust of wind.
Even though it was rare to see such a luxurious car on the streets of Beijing, it quickly attracted the attention of the diners as it appeared on a not-so-high-end late-night street.
Following the navigation, Huo Yunchuan parked in front of the barbecue restaurant where his little angel was eating.
He opened the car window and leaned out, but the smell of cooking oil rushed in, making him unable to stand it, so he quickly closed the window and then opened the door directly.
Inside the restaurant, An Wuyang was enjoying his food, holding chicken claws in his left hand and squid tentacles in his right. Suddenly, he caught sight of a familiar figure approaching, and he panicked.
“Oops, oops, oops.” He dropped the chicken claws and squid tentacles, grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth and hands, and chugged coconut juice to cleanse the taste from his mouth.
“What’s wrong?” Everyone looked at him as if he had gone crazy, like a primary school student caught by his parents.
An Wuyang smiled bitterly. “My husband is here, I have to go back first.” Then he dashed to the cashier to settle the bill.
His husband?
Several guys were suddenly intrigued, staring intently at the man who stood out from the crowd.
First impression, he’s very handsome, whether it’s his height or appearance, he could easily dominate the entertainment industry’s so-called fresh-faced idols.
Second impression, he’s rich.
If I’m not mistaken, he just got out of that million-dollar luxury car parked on the roadside.
While they were sizing up Huo Yunchuan, he was also assessing his little angel’s classmates. Indeed, they were all male classmates, and the key point was none of them were as handsome as himself.
After a while, An Wuyang finished paying and came back. Without saying a word, he immediately rushed up to give his husband a bear hug, plus an exaggerated surprised expression, “Hey? Why are you here?”
Huo Yunchuan: “You said…”
“Come, come, let me introduce you,” An Wuyang didn’t give him a chance to continue, immediately interlocking his fingers with his and pulling him over to the classmates, “This is my partner, the one I just mentioned to you all, we have a particularly good relationship.”
Several smart guys hurriedly said, “Oh, it’s him.” They all stood up and greeted him in unison, “Nice to meet you, we’re friends of Xie An. We’ve been talking about you just now.”
So this is how anxious little An is about his partner, poor thing!
Huo raised an eyebrow. His heart, which had been quite depressed on the way here, suddenly expanded. He couldn’t get angry at all, he thought, so little boys talk about their partners when they’re together, how cute…
“Shall we go back first?” An Wuyang pinched her husband’s hand and whispered.
“Yeah,” Huo Yunchuan was polite to the little kids outside, not at all overbearing, but very gently bid farewell to his little angel’s classmates, “It’s getting late, I’ll take An back to rest first, you guys should also go back early.”
In terms of temperament, demeanor, he’s a perfect example of a tall, rich, and handsome man, leaving the little boys staring blankly.
“Oh, okay, you guys go back, it’s fine, we’ll drink for a while longer.” Xu Yuanhang was the first to react, smiling stupidly.
An Wuyang nodded, “Okay, you guys continue playing, we’ll head back first, see you tomorrow.”
Classmates: “Okay, see you tomorrow!”
Back in the car, before fastening their seat belts, An Wuyang happily pounced on his husband, “Dundun’s dad, you’ve really given me face.”
He thought Huo Yunchuan would be very angry.
Huo Yunchuan pushed him away expressionlessly, “You smell like a garlic bulb, scram.”
An Wuyang pouted, “No way, I’ll smoke you out, you Trojan~~” He chuckled and deliberately kissed all over Huo Yunchuan’s face, leaving a bunch of saliva marks.
“I’ll settle the score with you when we get back,” Huo tried to look a bit stern.
“What score? Let’s go back and roll in the sheets,” the boy with a strong survival instinct hugged his husband’s neck and refused to let go, “Can we not settle the score? I know I was wrong.”
Huo Yunchuan: “What did you do wrong?”
Little Angel: “I went out for a secret barbecue without you!”
