Lu Ming’s tone was not gentle, not waiting for Ji Yanchen to move.
Lu Ming even seemed to be a little angry: “What the hell is going on?”
Lu Ming’s voice was very low. It was not clear how long he had been waiting in the cafe, but his body was covered with the faint scent of coffee. He grabbed Chi Qiu and let the unsteady Chi Qiu lean into his arms.
Seeing that Chi Qiu was limping, Lu Ming looked at Ji Yanchen with indifference written on his face before asking: “Did you take him to drink?”
Without waiting for Ji Yanchen to speak, Chi Qiu raised his hand obediently and confessed: “Drink!” His tone was as soft as the person, except that one pair of eyes was too drunk to be opened.
Lu Ming: “…”
Ji Yanchen: “…”
Lu Ming asked: “How much did you drink?”
As soon as Chi Qiu heard Lu Ming’s voice, he subconsciously burrowed into his arms, resting his forehead on Lu Ming’s shoulder, exhaling a slightly warm breath that was particularly obvious in the summer. He grabbed Lu Ming’s tie, and when he grabbed it hard, he almost strangled Lu Ming to death.
Lu Ming hurriedly coughed twice and took a step forward in embarrassment.
The troublemaker Chi Qiu, who knew nothing, replied loudly: “Drink…two glasses! More, a little more!”
Immediately, Ji Yanchen burst into laughter, but within a few seconds, he swallowed back the laughter stiffly.
Because Lu Ming’s face had reached the freezing point. He grabbed Chi Qiu’s hand with a little force, but his eyes returned to Ji Yanchen coldly.
Seeing that, Ji Yanchen’s cold sweat crawled down his back. For the first time he knew that angry Lu Ming was so frightening. How could he be worse than Ji Feining?
Lu Ming said: “Chi Qiu, let go.”
Chi Qiu let out an ‘um’ and listened to Lu Ming’s words. His palm relaxed, but he sniffed Lu Ming’s body like a puppy, trying to stick to Lu Ming.
And Ji Yanchen was glared at by Lu Ming. Feeling under a lot of pressure, for the first time he stood in front of Lu Ming honestly and explained in a good voice: “He drank a little wine, but I swear it wasn’t from me. He drank himself…You can rest assured that Chi Qiu is not allergic to alcohol. He probably never drank alcohol, so he is a little dizzy after drinking it for the first time. Just go back and sleep. ”
In order to show that he didn’t lie, Ji Yanchen said: “If you don’t believe me, ask him yourself, he should be able to answer you now.”
Lu Ming’s eyebrows almost turning into ‘川’.
Ji Yanchen helped Lu Ming call him: “Chi Qiu!”
Chi Qiu did not answer.
Ji Yanchen wanted to shout again, but Lu Ming had already picked up Chi Qiu and walked to his car. Not being at ease, Ji Yanchen quickly followed: “I’m afraid he will throw up halfway. Let me help?”
Lu Ming completely ignored him, it seemed that he was really angry.
Ji Yanchen was deflated: “Why are you still angry? So what, this thing is my fault, I didn’t take care of him. But I’m serious, I’d better go back with you, in case he throws up on the road. It’s not easy for you to take care of him while driving…”
Lu Ming was silent, he put Chi Qiu in the back seat of the car, and after letting him sit firmly, he fastened his seat belt. Chi Qiu started to feel a little uncomfortable. He pulled Lu Ming’s hand dizzily and said aggrievedly, “Lu Ming, I’m dizzy, I’m not feeling well.”
In an instant, Lu Ming’s tone changed from harsh to melting ice and snow. It was not mild, but it was no longer cold.
He straightened Chi Qiu’s clothes: “Hold on, we’re going home.”
Chi Qiu sniffed and nodded.
Then, Lu Ming spoke up, his tone becoming cold again, saying to Ji Yanchen: “Still not getting in?”
“…”
Ji Yanchen didn’t dare to make trouble today and nimbly got into the car from the other side. He took out the vomit bag given by the waiter from his pocket and was prepared.
Along the way, Ji Yanchen became a father and mother to Chi Qiu. He took the vomit bag to Chi Qiu, stroked Chi Qiu’s back, and pinched Chi Qiu’s arm.
But Chi Qiu didn’t actually spit out anything, and he didn’t want to throw up but Ji Yanchen always felt that he wanted to throw up.
Lu Ming could not stand it any longer: “He should not want to throw up. You don’t have to always hold the bag against his mouth, he will be uncomfortable.”
“Oh, okay.” Ji Yanchen was unreasonable today, he didn’t refute a word, and he didn’t talk too much. Since it was Lu Ming’s request, he couldn’t help but listen. Anyway…
He thought to himself: Haha, if he throws up here it’s your car anyway!
Ji Yanchen played with the vomit bag and made a noise. He took the initiative to say, “Did you check the address?”
“En.”
“Then why didn’t you come in?” Ji Yanchen wondered. He thought Lu Ming would not come.
Lu Ming glanced at Chi Qiu from the rearview mirror: “He rarely comes out to play with his friends. There is no need for me to follow.”
Ji Yanchen felt that Lu Ming, in a way, did not understand Chi Qiu at all. If not for the fact that he was going to the art exhibition in the afternoon… Ji Yanchen smiled: “Actually, Chi Qiu really wants you to follow.”
“…”
“Really, he eagerly wants you to follow from morning to night.”
“I have my own business to attend to.” Lu Ming’s answer was dry, as if he had instantly distanced himself from Ji Yanchen who was trying to talk.
Ji Yanchen was very unhappy with his attitude, and tsk-ed, “What are you busy with, aren’t you still here?”
“When you told me this address, didn’t you expect me to come and pick him up?”
Lu Ming’s answer was too rigid, blocking Ji Yanchen into speechlessness at once. And he did not intend to beat around the bush so he spoke straightforwardly: “Second Young Master Ji, I hope that in the future, you will not take Chi Qiu to drink alone casually again.”
Ji Yanchen did not like being lectured by anyone other than Ji Feining and Chi Qiu, so became annoyed and said unhappily: “He loves to drink, he just said it was good. Besides, Chi Qiu is such a big person, not a child, it’s okay for him to drink some wine.”
“Of course it’s okay to drink, but if I hadn’t waited here today, how would you have sent him back alone?”
“Won’t I just call for a designated driver?”
“Did you call just now?”
“…Have I had time to call?” Ji Yanchen was angry and pinched the vomit bag. He turned his head away and didn’t plan to talk to Lu Ming again.
And Lu Ming’s thinking were always quite a bit more mature than Ji Yanchen’s, he also considered more things.
He didn’t plan to have another boring dispute with Ji Yanchen. His tone was flat, without a little emotion: “I will not limit Chi Qiu drinking, but everything should have a degree. Chi Qiu is not like others, his eyes are blind.”
It was also true that if Lu Ming had not appeared in time, Ji Yanchen would not have been able to send Chi Qiu home properly.
Now, if Chi Qiu was not supported by Ji Yanchen, even if he buckled the seat belt, he would still stagger and slam into the car window easily.
Ji Yanchen was usually a bit arrogant, but after all, he was also a reasonable person. He was made speechless by Lu Ming; he couldn’t tell Lu Ming that Chi Qiu’s eyes were fine, right? He held his breath and felt like he was going to die because of Lu Ming’s anger. At the end, he finally muttered: “Sorry, I didn’t think it through.”
Today, he was the one who was in the wrong, so he lost a round to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nonchalantly responded, “Well, next time pay attention.”
Ji Yanchen: “…” He found that Lu Ming was quite good at taking advantage of someone’s weakness.
The atmosphere in the car just continued to be awkward; except for Chi Qiu who occasionally whimpered, there was really no sound. Ji Yanchen kept his mouth shut and concentrated on taking care of Chi Qiu, with the vomit bag ready in his hand at all times.
It was not until the car drove safely into the front yard of the Lu family’s villa that Ji Yanchen was completely at ease, believing that Chi Qiu would indeed not throw up.
When the car stopped, he got out of the car first and helped Chi Qiu out of the car.
Chi Qiu was so confused and alcohol had already made him a mess. As soon as he opened his eyes, Ji Yanchen in front of him changed into three wobbly shadows, causing him a headache. Chi Qiu closed his eyes again as his stomach churned uncontrollably.
Ji Yanchen, who thought Chi Qiu was sober, asked cautiously: “Is it better? Come on, be careful, I’ll help you into the house. It’s like this when you’re drunk, just sleep for a while.”
As a result, the heaven didn’t follow people’s wish; as soon as Chi Qiu’s feet stood firm, he bent over to Ji Yanchen: “Blaargh—”
He finally threw up smoothly and felt a lot more comfortable.
Ji Yanchen was dumbfounded.
Not to mention, it wasn’t enough for Chi Qiu to throw up once, he threw up twice or three times in a row. He unreservedly gave his most embarrassed face to Ji Yanchen, a good brother who ‘wears a pair of pants’1穿一条裤子 ; (of male friends) to have been through thick and thin together with him.
Chi Qiu exhaled heavily, as if he was refreshed after throwing up and leaned backwards with soft feet, falling into Lu Ming’s arms..
