AM Chapter 29

Returning to the Villa, after parking the car in the garage, Liang Jingren looked at the silver car hood reflecting the moonlight, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off.

He dialed the number of some annoying fellow and grilled him, asking if he had been using his black car to do bad things lately.

A playful voice of begging for forgiveness came from the phone: “How could I~ How would I dare to do bad things! I don’t want to go back in!”

Liang Jingren didn’t believe him, but he had no way to extract useful information from this guy’s mouth. He thought about it; this person’s legs weren’t fully healed, and having been in a car accident, he might not be so quick to dare to drive. So the car must still be driven by Little Zhuang. He might as well go directly to Little Zhuang and ask him.

Come to think of it, he also had some other things he wanted to ask Little Zhuang about… about the sounds he heard in their apartment that night…

“Where’s Little Zhuang? Tell him to come to the phone.” Liang Jingren barked orders into the phone.

However, Little Zhuang happened to not be by the other person’s side. “I had a bit of a headache tonight, so I came back to rest early. Little Zhuang is covering for me at the club; you can go directly there to find him.”

Liang Jingren pondered the time, thinking that it wasn’t so urgent, and going another day would be the same.

Regarding the question of the strange sounds, besides wanting to ask Little Zhuang, he actually wanted to ask this person on the phone – even, it should be said, wanted to ask him the most.

But Liang Jingren thought about it, hesitated and hesitated, and several times started to say “You” to the person on the phone, but couldn’t continue. The other party probably guessed that the topic he wanted to talk about was a bit difficult to bring up, and even laughed to encourage and urge him: “What’s wrong? What exactly do you want to say? Just say it; why are you being so polite with me!”

“It’s nothing!” Liang Jingren thought again and again, and finally hung up the phone.

After letting out a long sigh, he buried his head between his arms on the steering wheel.

His gaze fell low, slanting towards the rose with its stem wrapped in a glove on the passenger seat. Liang Jingren’s gaze gradually deepened.

What should he do with this flower?… Throw it away? No, he should still put it in a vase. Who told him to be influenced by Xu Yilin and become someone who cherishes flowers.

As a result, the next day, Director Liang, who had three meetings in a row in the morning, quickly and completely threw all his tangled and troubled matters to the back of his mind.

On the other side, although Chen Mo didn’t follow the clue of “Little Zhuang” to any Night Shade Bar last night, his condition when he arrived at the company the next day was—hungover.

A colleague asked him if he wanted to take a day off, but Chen Mo said with a very firm attitude that he couldn’t. “There are only two more days until I get the perfect attendance award.”

The colleague exclaimed, “You value this perfect attendance award too much, my God.”

He values it? He values it my ass. It’s just that he only needs to persist for two more days to get money, so why not?

In the following days, Chen Mo got up and went to work every day according to the rules, and after getting off work in the afternoon, he found Liang Jingren to eat boring cafeteria food. After eating, he returned to the apartment, took a can of iced beer from the refrigerator, and then dismantled keyboards while drinking–

The box of keyboards that Lucas had helped him mail back finally arrived a month later. Those were all his treasures.

Although he had become good at socializing during his years abroad, he still didn’t really like socializing. So after switching majors in his sophomore year, he joined a few computer clubs and started playing with DIY keyboards. Although compared to hobbies and specialties such as assembling computers that could be used to show off and talk boastfully, it seemed very inconspicuous, but he didn’t need to show off. He just needed a quiet place where he could concentrate and put all his energy into doing one thing.

And playing with keyboards became his favorite hobby for both relieving stress and passing the time.

The muddled week passed quickly, and when the weekend arrived, although he couldn’t see Liang Jingren, Chen Mo, with a surge of enthusiasm, went out as usual when the night lights began to shine.

He drove to Night Shade Bar.

He first went to the main club and met Strong Bro and others. He didn’t expect that they still recognized him. They all greeted him very enthusiastically and even pushed the girls in the club to entertain him. Although they offered the temptation of free drinks, Chen Mo resolutely left after greeting and exchanging pleasantries with the brothers he knew.

It was really puzzling—

“Chen Mo, that kid, went into the nightclub just, just took a turn around? And left?”

“Haha, didn’t he also say hello to me!”

“Look at you, it’s like he came specifically to say hello to you!”

“By the way, he also asked about Little Zhuang. Little Zhuang should be at the second club now, right?”

“Who knows, he runs errands for Brother Liang and goes everywhere! Young people really have strong legs, no wonder Brother Liang values him so much!”

“Isn’t that right, these days that Brother Liang’s leg has been broken, he’s been relying entirely on Little Zhuang’s personal care! If he didn’t have him helping Brother Liang in and out every day, the second club would have been paralyzed without anyone to manage it!”

“Why do you guys make it sound like it’s all Little Zhuang’s credit? The popularity of the main and second clubs was all built up by Brother Liang!”

“That’s right! What nonsense!”

“Come, come, let’s have one, a toast to Brother Liang!”

“To Brother Liang—”

“To Brother Liang!!!”

Entering Night Shade Second Club, Chen Mo looked around at the interior decoration, which was roughly the same as the main club, but the lighting tones were softer.

Moreover, this club even had a particularly humane glass room smoking area! Chen Mo was a little impressed with the manager of the second club, hearing that only one person had taken care of it from beginning to end.

The glass room smoking area reflected and refracted various colors of light, and if you stared at it intently while turning a corner, your eyes would become blurred.

Chen Mo stood at a not too near or too far distance, squinting his eyes and peering into the glass room. At this moment, the club’s hired weekend popular resident singer took the stage, and the guests flocked to one side, while there was still one person in the glass room sitting sideways on the sofa smoking.

That person wore a shiny silver bracelet on his wrist, and the strands of hair hanging down from his forehead were slightly curved. Every wisp of smoke seemed to be taken with a hard sip as it passed by his lips, drifting in a winding and lingering way.

Really sexy… Chen Mo had to admit this point.

But at the same time, he also gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words related to the sexy person from between his teeth: Surname, Yu!

That Surname Yu seemed to be able to hear his inner voice, and happened to look up in this direction.

Then, Surname Yu arched his eyebrows at him, his smiling lips slightly pursed, and blew a cloud of swirling smoke towards the direction directly facing him.

Is this the method this person used to seduce Liang Jingren? Chen Mo coldly sneered in his heart, raised his leg and walked towards the glass room—Surname Yu was already waving at him, how could he pretend not to see him?

He also wanted to take a closer look at what other enchanting and mind-blowing tricks this Surname Yu had.

When Chen Mo entered the glass room, he felt that the light inside was even more blurred than outside. Purple and red alternately fell on his face, making any complexion look very moisturized. If the person inside also had a bit of light in their eyes, and smiled slightly, their expression would immediately appear charming.

Chen Mo didn’t know if other people would also be like this, but at least the only guy in the glass room that he was seeing now was like this.

When he came in, Surname Yu was just twisting the butt of a finished cigarette in the ashtray. After seeing him come in, Surname Yu flicked his hair, and like a magician, took out a new cigarette and handed it to him, smiling and saying, “What a coincidence~ Do you smoke?”

“Smoke.” Chen Mo took the cigarette and sat down.

Surname Yu picked up the lighter and leaned closer, his braided head also leaning towards him. When the flame of the lighter rose with a “click,” Chen Mo suddenly realized that the other person also had a slender cigarette dangling in his mouth.

In this way, the ends of the two cigarettes frugally brushed against the same beam of blue-purple flame and were lit at the same time.

After the lighter, slender hand, and the cigarette in that person’s mouth left his sight, Chen Mo heard a sentence from beside him: “Aren’t you going to say thank you to brother?”

Chen Mo was stunned, turned his head to look at the person speaking. The other person was using his fingers to flick open the cigarette, blowing a puff of smoke that caught the wine-colored lights towards the glass curtain wall, and his eyes… were still staring at him.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn’t speak, the other person squinted his eyes again and asked, “Can you smoke?”

As if being provoked, Chen Mo, to prove himself, took two big puffs of the cigarette, and the ash mixed with sparks at the end quickly curled up.

“Hahahaha, why are you in such a hurry!” Surname Yu laughed happily. But Chen Mo was not very happy.

His mood at this moment was very complicated. He was clearly here to pursue some things, but now he didn’t know how to start.

Chen Mo thought: Actually, this person saw me for the first time last time, right? Actually, he doesn’t know Liang Jingren, right? That car was driven by Little Zhuang, maybe Little Zhuang was just picking someone up along the way…

So, is he a guest? Or a person in the club? Like a male escort or something?

Why would he immediately disassociate the Surname Yu guy in front of him from Liang Jingren? Probably because, subconsciously, he felt: Liang Jingren doesn’t like this kind of person.

But, what kind of person does Liang Jingren like? Chen Mo wasn’t sure either.

Chen Mo hadn’t said a word since entering this smoking room, and was still immersed in thought at this time. Surname Yu probably questioned his charm and even moved his body closer to him, finally sitting almost close to him.

“Chen Mo, little brother…” Surname Yu put the cigarette far away with his fingers, and his smiling lips approached his ear to say some heart-itching whispers, “Are you interested in S★M?”

“!” Chen Mo came to his senses.

He turned his head abruptly, and in his shocked and slightly trembling pupils reflected a symmetrical, upturned, and beautiful corner of the mouth.

“This is too bold…” Chen Mo also smiled unconsciously, “Little Yu, big brother…”

Surname Yu got up and threw away the half-smoked cigarette, took two steps towards the glass door, and turned back to smile and reach out to him.

He was inviting him.

Chen Mo immediately threw down the cigarette butt and stood up.

Two minutes later, when Chen Mo’s left foot stepped into the private room, he suddenly felt a burst of electricity hit his spine. In an instant, his fingertips and scalp hair felt numb—

Everything went white before his eyes.

When Chen Mo, limp to the point that his neck couldn’t turn, was picked up by the person behind him, he heard a playful sneer: “Hehe, so easy to fool.”

A few more minutes passed, and Chen Mo, who had regained his strength and reason, yelled at the person in front of him, “Surname Yu! Let me go!”

His hands were wrapped tightly with yellow tape and tied tightly to the ceiling-high steel pole in the corner of the Karaoke private room. He tried his best to swing his shoulders, and the veins on his arms almost burst, but he couldn’t break free.

“What do you want to do?! You bastard! Untie this thing for me!!”

In stark contrast to his current panic, Surname Yu leisurely lit a thin cigarette in front of him, and while exhaling, smiled and said, “Isn’t this what you wanted to play? Brother will accompany you. Brother has all the props prepared~”

Hearing this, Chen Mo’s eyes widened, and he turned his head left and right in a panic. Soon he saw something with an obviously different texture placed on the black glass coffee table in the middle of the private room—a bundled leather whip.

“Surname Yu! How dare you?! Let me go! If you dare to touch me, Liang Jingren won’t let you go!!” Chen Mo was really panicked, and in his panic, he directly said Liang Jingren’s name.

However, Liang Jingren’s name seemed to work. The other person seemed very surprised, raised the hand holding the cigarette while also covering his mouth, his eyes slightly widened, and stared at him tightly.

However, after hearing what the other person said next, Chen Mo felt uncomfortable again:

“Ah, are you using him to pressure me? Do you know what kind of relationship we have?”

“Wh-what kind of relationship?” Chen Mo began to tremble, his voice trembling, his lips trembling, his pupils trembling, his whole heart was trembling, only his fists clenched behind his back, unable to move, were tense.

Surname Yu didn’t answer him immediately, but silently stood in front of him and sized him up from head to toe.

After exhaling a long puff of smoke, Surname Yu flicked off the ash, looked at the person bound to the steel pole, tilted his head and smiled, and said softly, “What a little fool…”

As soon as this address came out, Chen Mo’s eyes turned red instantly, “What is your relationship!!!!?”

With this roar, his neck also turned red.

Surname Yu very gently used his cold hand that wasn’t holding a cigarette to cool his neck. His slender fingers went all the way up from the side of his neck, finally resting behind his ear.

It was the same routine again—quietly approaching, using a soft voice to say heart-wrenching whispers into his ear:

“Ah Ren and I, we’ve taken baths together, slept together, I’ve hugged him, kissed him, and even… pinched him.”

The word “pinched” corresponded exactly to the sudden pain in front of his chest‖. “Damn! Ah…” Chen Mo’s entire face wrinkled unnaturally.

“Hahahaha!” Surname Yu laughed with a taste for the wicked, and continued when Chen Mo glared at him with a fierce gaze, “When he begs for mercy from me, he will also very cutely call me ‘Brother’…”

Chen Mo’s eyes were about to split, and his back molars were clenched.

Surname Yu determined that he couldn’t break free, took half a step back, and still smiled easily.

“Little Chen Mo, do you want to beg for mercy from me too?”

“I don’t need you to call me ‘Brother,’ of course, you can if you want to~”

“Letting you go is not a problem, I don’t plan to spend the whole night with you, but before that, I have a few questions I need you to…”

Bang—

The loud noise from the door made Surname Yu turn his head.

The soundproof door, which couldn’t be locked to meet fire safety requirements, was inappropriately slammed open from the outside.

“You’re really lucky.” Surname Yu said with a smile, and the eyes he cast back didn’t carry a trace of a smile.
