Chapter 43: Waking Up Drunk – Looks Like I Need to Help You Remember.

The morning sea breeze was refreshing, blowing across the huge cruise ship in the sea.

Time slowly drifted on the blue waves. The sunlight gradually climbed from the warm orange of the early morning to the high sky, slowly turning into a dazzling sun.

Inside the room, on the clean, white bed, Wen Shixi slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was the deck terrace behind the clean glass window. The sky was boundless, white clouds floated silently, connecting with the window sill.

Wen Shixi reacted for a few seconds, his hand groping around on the familiar spot beside the pillow.

After a while, he didn’t find his familiar phone. Puzzled, he slowly sat up, and amidst a buzz in his ears from the hangover, he smelled a repulsive pheromone.

In an instant, Wen Shixi sobered up, turning to look at the sleeping face of the person beside him.

Because he was fast asleep, the man’s face, usually full of sternness, was very soft. His eyelashes drooped obediently under his eyes, revealing a hint of peace.

Wen Shixi froze completely, stiff on the bed.

Jiang Quanyu…

How could he have slept in the same bed with Jiang Quanyu—

Because Wen Shixi suddenly sat up, the bedding shifted, waking the person from his light sleep.

Jiang Quanyu frowned, raising a hand to cover his eyes, blocking the light. After a few seconds, he slowly opened his eyes.

Their eyes met. The morning light shone on Wen Shixi’s hair. Seen from the backlight, he looked dazed, his eyes filled with confusion, like a small, lost animal just waking up.

The pajamas he wore glowed softly, blending in with the white bedding, making him look clean and soft.

Wen Shixi was silent for a moment, squeezing out a few words.

“…How did I get here?”

Jiang Quanyu paused slightly, then spoke, “Woke up from your drunken stupor?”

Wen Shixi looked at the black pajamas Jiang Quanyu was wearing, the collar slightly open, revealing the well-proportioned muscles underneath.

At this moment, Jiang Quanyu didn’t have his usual meticulously groomed appearance. His short hair drooped slightly, his face exuding the freshness of just waking up.

Wen Shixi lowered his head and looked at himself again.

Apart from a few wrinkles on his clothes, everything was fine.

Wen Shixi was silent for a moment, then asked again, “Why am I here?”

Jiang Quanyu sat up, his voice dry and hoarse, “What do you think?”

Wen Shixi: “…Did I come here myself?”

Jiang Quanyu turned and reached out to Wen Shixi.

His wide palm carried a strong sense of control, grasping Wen Shixi’s entire chin, his thumb and forefinger separated, gently pressing his cheeks, his tiger’s mouth lightly brushing against his lower lip.

Wen Shixi was still in shock, his face being pinched, and he didn’t move for a moment.

Jiang Quanyu’s voice was low and slow, “After acting like a drunk lunatic, you’ve forgotten everything from last night?”

For a moment, Wen Shixi couldn’t find a better answer than silence.

He really had… forgotten everything.

It seemed like the last little bit of impression he had was of Bluebeard and Little Red Riding Hood.

Wen Shixi was sharp-tongued, “I was drunk. Shouldn’t you have found someone to send me back to my room?”

Hearing this, Jiang Quanyu almost laughed out of anger.

“Looks like I need to help you remember.” Jiang Quanyu said, “It was Wen Shixi who said he wanted to sleep with his brother.”

Wen Shixi gasped.

In the midst of the overflowing morning light, Wen Shixi’s silence was deafening.

Jiang Quanyu watched Wen Shixi’s constantly shifting eyes and slowly released his hand.

Then, his palm lifted up, gently touching the top of Wen Shixi’s head.

His wide palm gently stroked his hair, his fingers running through the strands, intertwining with them.

Jiang Quanyu: “Does your head hurt?”

Wen Shixi listened to Jiang Quanyu’s suddenly gentle tone and looked at Jiang Quanyu’s outstretched arm.

Wen Shixi shook his head.

Jiang Quanyu’s gaze was calm, lightly watching Wen Shixi’s flickering eyes, his throat felt a little itchy.

After a moment, Jiang Quanyu turned his head, looking at the clear sky outside the window.

“Get up and eat something.”

Jiang Quanyu said, getting up and getting out of the wide bed on the other side.

On the bed, Wen Shixi blankly watched Jiang Quanyu walk into the bathroom, the tuft of hair sticking up on his head shaking and falling down.

Then, he carefully calmed his complex emotions after being startled on top of a hangover.

The sunlight shone on the deck outside the glass balcony, looking dazzling.

When he got up, Wen Shixi was putting on his clothes, his eyes inadvertently glancing over the bedside table, seeing something that caught his attention.

A white plastic medicine bottle stood on the edge of the bedside table.

Wen Shixi reached out and picked up the medicine bottle, looking at the English words on it.

Seeing that it was a medicine he had never seen before, Wen Shixi turned the bottle, wanting to take another look at the detailed small print on the label.

At this moment, Jiang Quanyu walked out of the bathroom.

Wen Shixi quickly put down his hand, turning to face Jiang Quanyu, hiding the medicine bottle behind his back.

Jiang Quanyu was puzzled, “Why are you standing there?”

Wen Shixi leaned back, using his body to block it, and put the medicine bottle back on the bedside table.

Wen Shixi: “I’m a little dizzy, just taking a break.”

Jiang Quanyu: “I asked the restaurant to prepare a hangover soup for you.”

“I don’t want to drink it, I’m leaving.” Wen Shixi said, “I only came to attend yesterday’s banquet with my father. I submitted the visa procedures a long time ago. I’m going to disembark when we dock and take a plane straight back to Linggang.”

Jiang Yan didn’t plan to spend the entire five days and four nights on the cruise.

After attending last night’s banquet, he would take Wen Shixi back to Linggang.

Hearing this, Jiang Quanyu crossed his arms in front of him.

“Even if it’s Uncle,” Jiang Quanyu said lightly, “I believe that when Wen Shixi disembarks can only be decided by me.”

Hearing this, Wen Shixi joked casually, “What, do you really want to lock me on the ship?”

Jiang Quanyu thought for a moment, revealing a hint of pleasure.

Surrounded by the sea, no matter what Wen Shixi did, he couldn’t escape—Jiang Quanyu liked this situation very much.

Jiang Quanyu: “Yes.”

Wen Shixi’s tone was light, “But if I leave, without an annoying brother, wouldn’t you be able to get along well with your fiancé?”

He had clearly heard Jiang Quanyu’s explanation, but he still spoke with exceptional flippancy, very much like a deliberate provocation.

This caused Jiang Quanyu’s gaze to deepen, scrutinizing the light smile on his lips.

Soon, Jiang Quanyu said, “Mm, that’s true. Then you can accompany Uncle back first.”

Hearing this, Wen Shixi’s brow twitched slightly, his face tensing up slightly.

The answer was unexpected, like a dazzling halo, making him inexplicably unhappy.

Seeing this, Jiang Quanyu stepped towards Wen Shixi.

“Not causing trouble?” Jiang Quanyu said as he walked, “Since you want to cause trouble, don’t get angry.”

Wen Shixi: “Who said I’m angry?”

Jiang Quanyu walked up to Wen Shixi, feeling that Wen Shixi’s face was extremely vivid at the moment.

He looked into Wen Shixi’s eyes, the irises filled with bright light.

Time drifted between the cracks of light, Jiang Quanyu studied the face in front of him, ignoring Wen Shixi’s outburst of concealment.

Wen Shixi felt guilty from being watched, “What are you looking at?”

Jiang Quanyu’s thin lips moved slightly, answering in his usual steady voice.

“Wen Shixi.”

The clear sunlight went through countless reflections, covering everything in the room with a soft light.

Wen Shixi had been beautiful since he was a child. Even when he was wearing bear socks and crying with a red face, he was unbelievably cute.

After growing up, those cute aspects gradually disappeared, his body transforming one by one, slowly revealing a fascinating, fatal attraction.

A hint of deep darkness appeared in Jiang Quanyu’s eyes as he reached towards Wen Shixi’s body.

He knew that because his brother was beautiful enough, many people liked Wen Shixi.

He couldn’t even get rid of them all.

“Go back with Uncle first.” Jiang Quanyu said lightly, “If you like cruises, I’ll take you to play again when I’m not busy next time.”

The entire duplex suite was luxuriously decorated, and the two quickly ended their morning bickering.

After Jiang Quanyu changed his clothes and went downstairs, Wen Shixi took the well-fitting clothes sent by room service. Facing the mirror, he tidied himself up to a normal appearance with no trace of a hangover.

Before long, Wen Shixi also walked downstairs.

As he walked down the stairs, he lowered his head to adjust his collar, casually raising his voice and asking, “Jiang Quanyu, have you seen my pheromone suppression collar? Did I bring it last night? Did you take it off? Where did you put it?”

As Wen Shixi spoke, he reached the corner of the stairs, turning to look at the living room on the first floor.

The next second, he was face to face with a group of people.

Downstairs, Jiang Quanyu had already begun to sort out the information obtained from yesterday’s banquet with the employees from the president’s office. Hearing the sound, several people turned their heads at the same time, looking at the fair-skinned omega appearing on the stairs, and fell silent in unison.

At least, the people in the president’s office had been following Jiang Quanyu in Washington for several years.

But this was the first time they had seen an omega in President Jiang’s room…

In the silence, Jiang Quanyu sat on the single sofa, slightly raising his head, looking at Wen Shixi, who was also in a brain freeze.

Then, Jiang Quanyu lowered his gaze, introducing to the few people.

“This is my brother.”

“Ah.” One person quickly came back to his senses, picking up the conversation, “So it’s President Jiang’s brother, we’ve heard of him, we’ve heard of him.”

“It’s really better to see once than to hear a hundred times, truly extraordinary.”

Wen Shixi: “…”

Jiang Quanyu put down the documents in his hand, saying to the few people, “Wait for me a moment, I’ll be right back.”

The secretary-general nodded repeatedly. Jiang Quanyu stood up and walked towards the stairs.

He greeted Wen Shixi on the stairs, then led the silent Wen Shixi into the walk-in closet.

Because the trip wasn’t long, only a few dark-colored suits hung in the entire closet.

Jiang Quanyu walked straight to the accessory cabinet, taking out a new inhibitor ring from inside.

Immediately, he turned his head, looking at the silent Wen Shixi.

Wen Shixi was a little upset: “…Don’t you guys talk during meetings?”

Jiang Quanyu: “No one would be as unruly as you, interrupting me when I’m reading documents.”

As he said that, he reached out and grabbed Wen Shixi’s wrist, pulling him in front of him.

Immediately afterward, he hugged Wen Shixi’s waist, skillfully picking him up and placing him on the accessory cabinet.

Wen Shixi was suddenly lifted into the air. Before he could make a sound, he was sitting on the cabinet, his lips slightly parted.

The cabinet was quite high. Sitting on it, Wen Shixi could only look down at Jiang Quanyu’s face.

Jiang Quanyu met that questioning gaze: “Didn’t you want an inhibitor ring?”

Wen Shixi didn’t understand. He only saw Jiang Quanyu lowering his head, reaching out to gently roll up the pants on his right leg.

The omega’s slender and fair calf was slowly revealed, contacting the cool air, the muscles tensing slightly.

The pants continued to move up, until the middle of his thigh. Jiang Quanyu’s fingertips moved slightly, placing the black leg ring on Wen Shixi’s leg, above his knee.

The black circle gently hugged the skin, outlining an alluring and delicious curve.

The delicate pink and white skin was confined by the black, carrying a decadent feeling of both gorgeousness and innocence.

His fingertips brushed over the soft flesh, lightly rubbing against the edge of the leather.

“Don’t use force, relax.” Jiang Quanyu said.

The dimly lit closet, the narrow walls seemed to surround the two, instantly filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Every wall in the room was hung with suits belonging to Jiang Quanyu. The inescapable alpha pheromones occupied every corner, and the air instantly became sticky.

Wen Shixi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, slightly relaxing the leg he had subconsciously tensed.

Seeing this, Jiang Quanyu adjusted the straps, carefully tying the leg ring.

Wen Shixi stared at Jiang Quanyu’s forehead, slowly revealing a hint of astonishment.

For some reason, he subtly felt that Jiang Quanyu today seemed… different somehow.

Like he was particularly gentle, like the warm wind of early spring.

Although Jiang Quanyu had helped him wear many accessories before, whether it was the first time he wore equestrian clothes, or the first time he tried on British noble attire, there were many strange straps.

But no one had ever given him a pheromone suppression ring like this.

In Wen Shixi’s understanding, it seemed like only alphas and omegas who were marked and had a good relationship would do such intimate things.

Wen Shixi: “…I can put it on myself.”

The pants fell, covering his leg again.

Jiang Quanyu raised his head, looking at Wen Shixi’s face.

Jiang Quanyu: “What time is your flight?”

Wen Shixi frowned: “Do you have to ask this too?”

Jiang Quanyu: “Has your rebellious period not ended yet? You know that your concealment is meaningless, right? I’ll find someone to send you to the airport, and there will be a car to take you home directly after you get off the plane.”

Wen Shixi: “…”

He took back what he had just thought. Jiang Quanyu was as always, nothing was different.

“It takes off at a little after eleven, and will probably land before three o’clock.”

Jiang Quanyu: “You’re not allowed to not answer my calls.”

Wen Shixi didn’t speak.

Jiang Quanyu looked at Wen Shixi’s cold face, very patient, and repeated again.

“Wen Shixi, you’re not allowed to not answer my calls.”
