The Enemy's Heir - Chapter 1
This is not a casual meal, this is a Hongmen Feast to declare sovereignty.
The two people who were arguing just now instantly understood why Zhong Lan asked them to have dinner at the same time. Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu looked at each other, and then turned their heads away with a “tsk”.
Jiang Xu did not discriminate against homos*xuals, but he was still a little depressed when he heard the news.
In recent years, because of competing with Shen Fangyu, he was so busy that he had no time to fall in love. It was not until his family urged him to get married that he could not bear it anymore that he thought of finding a partner.
Zhong Lan has a good personality and lives close to him. Jiang Xu has always had a good impression of her, so he chose to pursue Zhong Lan without hesitation. Unexpectedly, at almost the same time, Shen Fangyu also publicly expressed his desire to pursue Zhong Lan. The two of them were rivals in love for a month, but they did not expect that Zhong Lan had already had someone in her heart, and they did not even pass the test of gender.
Jiang Xu’s last meal was Xiaolongbao in the morning, and he drank a pack of milk at noon because he was in a hurry for surgery. As a result, the ideal candlelight dinner was very different from the reality. He felt hungry, but the food in front of him was tasteless.
After finishing the meal, each with their own ulterior motives, Zhong Lan’s girlfriend wanted to pay the bill, but Jiang Xu stopped her. It has become his habit to take the initiative to pay when eating with girls. However, before Zhong Lan could refute, Shen Fangyu had already paid the bill before him.
Really, he wants to take this.
Jiang Xu rolled his eyes at him silently, and the four of them said goodbye at the door of the restaurant. Seeing Zhong Lan and Gao Ponytail sweetly walking away together, the two rejected men were speechless and looked depressed.
Finally, Jiang Xu took a deep breath, adjusted his mood and prepared to take a taxi home. After all, he had to open the first station tomorrow morning. But Shen Fangyu suddenly reached out to him.
Jiang Xu held the phone and looked at him inexplicably. The latter said calmly: “I only treat girls to dinner, and the meal is paid.”
“Is your face made of city walls?” Jiang Xu looked at Shen Fangyu in disbelief, wishing he could dissect his face to see if it was twice as thick as that of an ordinary person.
“It’s okay if you don’t pay, just buy me a drink,” Shen Fangyu pointed to a bar next to the restaurant, “I feel bad.”
Jiang Xu turned his eyes back to his phone, “I feel bad too.”
“Then let’s go together.” After saying that, Shen Fangyu ignored Jiang Xu’s refusal and put one hand around Jiang Xu’s neck and led him to the store in front of him.
Jiang Xu slapped Shen Fangyu’s hand away with disdain. When he looked up, his eyes bumped into the four words “Hell Bar”.
There were four words in total, and none of the lights on the words were complete. The word “Hell” was half-fallen and hung diagonally. Jiang Xu was afraid that if there was a gust of wind one day, the emergency department of their hospital would need more cases.
The colored lights on the words were even more eye-catching, with fluorescent green and fluorescent pink intertwined, as if the boss of the red-light district would come out to solicit customers in the next second.
“Is this a decent place?” Jiang Xu stepped back.
Shen Fangyu also took a look after hearing this, and said seriously: “It’s not pretty, the colors are so bright.”
Jiang Xu glanced at him lightly, and a question flashed through his mind.
With Shen Fangyu’s aesthetic, how did he dress himself up every day?
The bartender at the door had already noticed the two people arguing at the door, and when he saw that things were not going well, he quickly came out to attract them, saying, “Two handsome guys, come and play. This is the only bar within a hundred miles. There is no other place to drink after this. Today, all drinks are 10% off-”
Jiang Xu suddenly raised his foot forward.
“Are you convinced by this?” Shen Fangyu said in surprise, “Doctor Jiang is so short of money?”
Jiang Xu said to him without turning his head, “Because you only deserve to drink drinks at a 10% discount.”
Shen Fangyu: “Damn.”
Fortunately, the Hell Bar is not as outrageous as its sign of a slutty b*tch. It is just an ordinary bar with booths and private rooms.
Anyway, it is 10% off, so Shen Fangyu ordered a lot of drinks according to the menu and filled up the table between the two of them.
Jiang Xu folded his hands, sitting opposite Shen Fangyu in a formal suit and tie, as if he was going to court for negotiations any second. Shen Fangyu stood up and sat next to Jiang Xu, “Let’s drink together, you’re welcome.”
Jiang Xu turned his head away from him, not wanting to give the colorful wine on the table any extra glances.
Suddenly, a man in a floral shirt came over, resting one hand on the back of the sofa, and raised his glass to the two of them, “Handsome, would you like to have a drink with me?”
Shen Fangyu said directly, “No.”
“I didn’t ask you,” the man looked straight past Shen Fangyu and said to Jiang Xu, “Handsome, you are the man who suits my taste most in the bar today,” his eyes swept over Jiang Xu blatantly and presumptuously, and finally stopped at the collar of his tightly buttoned shirt, “Don’t you feel hot with your shirt buttoned so high?”
Shen Fangyu leaned forward to block his gaze, “What is it to you?”
The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and when he saw that Jiang Xu didn’t answer, he looked at Shen Fangyu with more provocation in his eyes. After a while, he turned to Jiang Xu, “Honey, how about we go to my table?”
“Who the hell is your honey,” Shen Fangyu got goosebumps when he said that, “We are both straight men, please respect yourself.”
“Who are you to him?” The man who was interrupted for the third time finally got angry, and the forced tone finally became normal, “He hasn’t said anything, you are here talking one after another, I said if you are not his boyfriend, go to the side.”
Shen Fangyu crossed his legs, “I am his rival and competitor, I am looking for revenge on him, is there a problem?”
The man looked at Jiang Xu in disbelief, and the latter nodded, “He is right.”
“…” The man realized the tense atmosphere belatedly, he was silent for a moment, raised his hand, and said with oil on his feet: “Excuse me, you continue.”
Seeing him holding the wine and walking towards the next target, Shen Fangyu glanced at Jiang Xu proudly, “I am so kind, I actually repay evil with kindness to help you block the wine, this year’s top ten people who moved the affiliated hospital must have me.”
Jiang Xu directly picked up the wine and poured it on his face.
“Can’t you afford to play, Jiang Xu.” Shen Fangyu wiped his face, suddenly twisted Jiang Xu’s shoulders and pulled him in front of him.
Jiang Xu wrinkled his nose and looked at the man who suddenly approached him. The smell of alcohol hit him, and he subconsciously turned his head away.
Shen Fangyu seemed to have discovered something, “You can’t drink?” He smiled and let go of Jiang Xu, with an arrogant look on his face, “You can’t, Jiang Xu.”
Jiang Xu glanced at him indifferently, then picked up the wine glass closest to him, tilted his neck and rolled his Adam’s apple, and drank the liquid in the wine glass in one gulp, leaving only an empty glass.
The man’s eyes were fixed on Shen Fangyu the whole time, and even through a layer of lenses, he could feel the sharpness and disdain in his eyes.
“Okay, you’re not convinced, right?”
Shen Fangyu glanced at him, and after a while, he also picked up the wine at hand and drank it all, knocking the wine glass in front of Jiang Xu, his eyes full of provocation. Jiang
Xu didn’t even look at his hand, and directly picked up another glass of wine and drank it in three gulps in front of Shen Fangyu.
The short-lived peace caused by the simultaneous breakup of love collapsed in an instant, and the competitive desire in their bones was about to explode. The two of them drank one glass after another, and the speed of taking the wine became faster and faster, until finally–
“Pah!”
There was only one glass of wine left on the table that had not been touched. The former mortal enemy stared at each other with bloodshot eyes, holding each other’s hands tightly, and neither of them would let the other take the last glass of wine. It was not
until the two of them finished the glass of wine together, almost head to head and mouth to mouth, that Jiang Xu suddenly realized what he had just done.
Damn it.
This damn desire to win.
His mind was like a ball of paste, and his face was burning. He loosened his tie and shook his dizzy head. The sleepiness swept through his mind. He watched Shen Fangyu’s head turn into two, then three… and finally turned back to one.
Then his eyes went black and he passed out.
When he woke up again, he was lying on the big bed of the hotel for some unknown reason.
