AM Chapter 47

47 Tipsy

At first, Chen Mo just wanted to discuss something with Liang Jingren, so he waited outside the second-floor room and knocked politely. Liang Jingren even called out, “Come in,” before he entered.

Chen Mo walked in and found Liang Jingren sitting on the bed reading a book, never looking up at him from beginning to end.

It wasn’t until he tiptoed to the bed that Liang Jingren asked, while turning the page, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Mo sat down on the edge of the bed near Liang Jingren’s head, and said with a smile, “Does Brother Ren no longer have any defenses against me entering your room?”

Liang Jingren chuckled, finally raising his eyes from the dense text of the book, and looking at him. “What’s there to be defensive about between you and me? You can’t beat me anyway.”

Chen Mo: …

So, Chen Mo, because he couldn’t beat Liang Jingren, obediently and well-behavedly sat on the edge of the bed, scratching his fingers in tangled thought, stared at Liang Jingren, who was focused on reading, for a long time, before slowly opening his mouth: “Brother Ren… I want to…”

Liang Jingren read another page of the book, and as he turned the page, he looked up at him and asked, “Do you want to read a book with me?”

Chen Mo was stunned.

“Come up then.”

Chen Mo didn’t expect happiness to come so suddenly. Just a few days after that unexpected kiss, he climbed onto Liang Jingren’s bed. And this time, his hands were not restrained by anything.

Chen Mo imitated the delicate posture of the mistress from TV dramas, leaning softly against Liang Jingren’s body, wrapping his arms around one of Liang Jingren’s arms.

However, Liang Jingren didn’t cooperate with his performance at all, showing no romantic feelings, not only not saying sweet words, but even acting like those bookworms he hated who only pretended to read after class.

Chen Mo pouted, glanced at the contents of the page, and asked, “Is this book good?”

“Not very good,” Liang Jingren said.

Chen Mo only glanced at it and saw: dense words, paragraphs without spaces, and all sorts of decorative painful sentences. Good literature, ah, good literature. He wondered what kind of story it was, whether it was popular or profound, sad or joyful.

“Then why are you reading it? Is it for the hypnosis?” Chen Mo hadn’t seriously read a book for a long time since leaving high school. He used to like reading novels in high school.

Liang Jingren “hmmed” as if affirming his statement.

Chen Mo made a long, noncommittal “hmm…” sound, and was immediately silenced by a glare from Liang Jingren’s eyes.

After that, he quietly leaned on Liang Jingren’s shoulder to accompany him in reading this book with overly dense font. As he read, he even tasted some of the meaning of the words, and after reading two more pages, he extracted a character’s personality and a corner of their life from the large passages, gradually getting into it.

However, just as he finished reading a page and waited for a while without seeing Liang Jingren turn the page, Chen Mo raised his chin slightly and found that Liang Jingren had actually fallen asleep.

He thought so. He had never heard of Liang Jingren having a hobby of reading before. How come he often saw Liang Jingren holding a book in bed at night after coming back? So reading for hypnosis was real…

He really shouldn’t have doubted Brother Ren. Chen Mo thought with some speechlessness.

However, he did want to continue reading Liang Jingren’s book.

Chen Mo planned to take the book from Liang Jingren’s hand, who was lowering his head and closing his eyes, but accidentally, the thick pages flipped to one side and hit the sleeping man’s leg. Liang Jingren was startled awake.

“Brother Ren, I’m sorry…” Chen Mo awkwardly took the book into his own hands.

Liang Jingren, who had just taken a nap, seemed a little dazed, turning his head to look at him with confusion, and even asked, “Why are you here?”

Chen Mo was silent for a while before Liang Jingren drove him off the bed. “Go back to sleep quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow morning.”

Chen Mo obediently took the book and got out of bed, but still lingered by the bed for a while.

“Something wrong?” Liang Jingren asked him.

Chen Mo had already remembered that he had come to discuss something with Liang Jingren tonight. Of course, there was something. He said, “I know you are already a major shareholder of New Era Entertainment. You’ve even met their editor-in-chief. Their decade-old magazine can’t be that blind, right?”

“So you want…”

“I still want to eat with you,” Chen Mo said. “Anyway, New Era Entertainment definitely has to ask you if they want to do a report on you. They don’t pose a threat anymore. As for other paparazzi, just strengthen the security of the group’s building and keep outsiders out.”

Seeing that Liang Jingren didn’t respond, Chen Mo bent down and moved closer to press him: “Is that okay, Brother Ren?”

Liang Jingren looked into his eyes and asked, “Why not eat at home?”

Hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned.

“It doesn’t have to be at the company. I can buy groceries and you can cook. It’s the same if we eat at home,” Liang Jingren offered his solution.

Chen Mo opened his mouth slightly, still stunned. Or maybe he was thinking.

After a while, he smiled brightly and replied, “Yes, that’s fine too! Then Brother Ren, you have to go buy groceries early! I’ll rush back as soon as I get off work!”

Seeing Chen Mo start to browse through social media, searching for home-cooked recipes with a beaming smile, Liang Jingren couldn’t help but reveal a doting look. He smiled and said, “I’m very busy, and I might come back later than you someday…”

“That doesn’t matter. Anyway, you’ll definitely send me a message in advance. I’ll just go buy the groceries then!” Chen Mo followed several food bloggers and saved several recipes.

“Oh, right…” Liang Jingren suddenly remembered something. He unplugged the phone with the charging cable from the bedside table, looked at the electronic calendar, and turned to say to the person who had sat down by the bed again at some point: “Don’t worry, I have to attend a business event in a couple of days. I won’t be back until after 9 PM at the earliest. You don’t have to wait for me.”

Chen Mo put down his phone and suddenly turned to him, asking, “Do you drink alcohol?”

“I can drink a little. I’ll find a designated driver at night.”

“…”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing,” Chen Mo smiled and said, “I’ll make you a hangover soup then.”

Liang Jingren also put down his phone and smiled, nodding his head. Then, he cupped Chen Mo’s face with one hand, gently stroking it with his thumb.

Chen Mo thought that Liang Jingren was going to kiss him.

He roughly prepared himself mentally, trying hard not to faint, and also trying to restrain his impulse to not kiss Liang Jingren unconscious later.

As for closing his eyes? He wasn’t planning on closing his eyes anyway. He wanted to keep his eyes open the whole time and watch Liang Jingren approach him with his own eyes.

But his assumption, his idea, was ultimately just his wish. The result was not as desired. Liang Jingren just touched his face, and said softly to him, “Go back to your room, go to sleep early,” and then let go and let him go.

Two days later, Liang Jingren came back from the event slightly tipsy, with two patches of light red on his cheeks.

He looked good, and he was in a good mood. When Chen Mo greeted him at the entrance, Liang Jingren smiled and hooked his neck, saying that thanks to his watch, he had brought out a common topic for several watch enthusiasts present, and that he had met a new partner tonight, making the future development path of Daxing Group wider.

“What watch?” Chen Mo didn’t react, turning his head to ask the person with his arm around his shoulder.

Liang Jingren smiled, not even needing to speak, just shaking the hand that was on his body. Chen Mo immediately understood, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but start to rise.

–Liang Jingren was wearing the watch he gave him.

“But this watch is only a little over a hundred thousand?” Chen Mo was happy in his heart, but also a little embarrassed. “Those entrepreneurs and business tycoons casually wear famous watches worth millions, right?”

Liang Jingren stared at the hand he raised, revealing the watch on his wrist, for a while, and sighed, “A little over a hundred thousand… not cheap…”

“It’s okay,” Liang Jingren said with a smile after putting his hand down, “Anyway, I’m just throwing out a lure, providing a platform for those bosses to show off their treasures and brag to each other. I’ll just go up and praise them a few times, haha.”

Chen Mo blinked. “I always feel like my feelings are being used.”

“That’s using them, hahaha!” Liang Jingren slapped him on the back twice with a hearty laugh.

Then, Liang Jingren let go of him and took a few steps forward, swaying like he was drunk. Then, he suddenly turned around, and used the hand that was wearing the watch he had given him to lift his chin, squinting at him and locking eyes with him:

“Being able to be used by me means you’re useful, aren’t you also very happy? Darling.”

Chen Mo’s bones were numbed like an electric shock by this “darling”.

However, he was worried that Liang Jingren was drunk, afraid that the eyes Liang Jingren was squinting at this time couldn’t actually see anyone, afraid that his brain, which hadn’t been exposed to alcohol for a long time, was hallucinating other people’s faces after being stimulated tonight.

“Brother Ren…” Chen Mo nervously grabbed that hand, putting its palm against his exhaling lips, just like what he did on that morning when Liang Jingren cursed him as “idiot.”

“Who is your darling?” Chen Mo kissed the palm in front of him, looking at the tipsy person through the fingers above, and asked.

Liang Jingren didn’t take his hand back, just tilted his head, opened his eyes, and then squinted again, looking at the person who had “snatched” his hand.

“Chen Mo…” Liang Jingren called out.

The person whose name was called out clasped his thumb and pinky with both hands, and suddenly, a heat flushed his palm.

“Do you like me that much?” Liang Jingren asked, tilting his head, squinting his eyes, and smiling.

Chen Mo also squinted his eyes in a daze. “I love you.” After saying that, he began to lick his fingers.

“Then… do you want to sleep with me?” Liang Jingren asked.

In less than half a minute, the questioner was rudely pushed down – on the nearest sofa in the living room.

Chen Mo supported himself on the sofa with both hands, his arms almost stuck around Liang Jingren’s neck. He desperately took deep breaths to adjust his emotions, and repeatedly asked his sweetheart before continuing to the next offensive:

“Brother Ren… Really, Brother Ren?”

“Am I… am I allowed to?”

“Are you… are you… drunk?”

Liang Jingren reached out and touched his hot face. Chen Mo’s face looked more drunk than his now.

“Does it matter if I’m drunk or not? If I wasn’t drunk, you wouldn’t dare, but if I’m drunk, you dare?”

Chen Mo grabbed the hand that was wantonly stroking his cheeks and neck, and unconsciously licked his lips and said, “Brother Ren… don’t tease me anymore… I can’t help it…”

Liang Jingren stared at him for a long time, put down his hand, smiled lightly, and said, “Then don’t hold back.”

At night, Liang Jingren sat up from the bed. He looked around, this was his own room.

And on his room’s bed, besides himself, there was another person lying there.

Liang Jingren looked down at Chen Mo’s face, which was as peaceful as an angel when he was asleep, and then looked at his arm, which was as white as moonlight, hanging outside the quilt, and couldn’t help but sigh: How did this person have the courage to carry him to the second floor?

In Liang Jingren’s impression, Chen Mo should be a lot lighter than him. Even if Chen Mo had grown up, he was not as strong as him in reality.

Perhaps it was because of cleanliness or something. Although Chen Mo had almost chewed all over his upper body on the sofa, in the end, Chen Mo carried him face to face, and only after entering his room on the second floor did he start doing it to his heart’s content.

Hmph hmph haha…

Just thinking about Chen Mo trembling his legs after carrying him to the second floor but still being stubborn, Liang Jingren wanted to laugh.

It was also funny that Chen Mo was aggressive at first, but surrendered in less than a minute.

He was quite fierce later. Probably wanted to prove something.

“Click,” a wisp of smoke rose from the bedside. Liang Jingren sat on the edge of the bed and started smoking.

He was quite satisfied with this sex, at least he enjoyed it.

“Huff…”

Liang Jingren held the cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, opened his phone to check the shipping status of a package he recently purchased. He was wondering, should he return this thing or not?

He originally planned to prepare in advance and adapt first… but now he couldn’t use it. His human-shaped massage stick was sleeping obediently beside him at this time.

He should still return it. Liang Jingren thought.

Just as he was about to tap the screen, a murmur came from behind him. It was Chen Mo calling him:

“Brother Ren…”

Not only calling, Chen Mo’s hand also reached over to pat and touch the bed. When he found that he couldn’t grab anything, his brows began to furrow slightly.

Liang Jingren found it a little funny, put down his phone, turned around and pressed his hand down, teasing him in a low voice: “What’s wrong, still not full?”

“Like you…” Chen Mo muttered, “Like…”

Cigarette ash fell to the ground by the edge of the bed, the orange-red spark suddenly shining brightly.

“I know.”

Liang Jingren turned his back, raised his head, and took another puff of smoke.

The hand that wasn’t holding the cigarette was left to be pulled, clasped, and held tightly by the person in his sleep.
