Chapter – 72
Jiang Jian let go of Luo Shuxin’s skin and pulled back, smiling at him carelessly.
He looked like a little dog running wild with happiness.
Luo Shuxin: “……”
Jiang Jian took a tissue and wiped the saliva from Luo Shuxin’s neck. Then he complained first, saying again and again that it wasn’t his fault. Obviously, it was Luo Shuxin’s bad luck that affected him.
Jiang Jian was someone who could rely on good luck to guess the key points in big exam questions. This kind of terrible game luck definitely had nothing to do with him.
The classmates around them were all exchanging the photos and videos others had taken. It looked like everyone wanted to save this dark history of the campus heartthrob and top student.
Luo Shuxin picked up the cola in front of him and took a sip, letting the matter drop.
The boring game continued. Du Lian, as the main culprit, was only picked once—and he handled it by drinking.
As the biggest victim, Luo Shuxin never once chose Truth or Dare. He always chose to drink instead.
At the beginning, Jiang Jian even stood up for his brother and drank for him twice. When drinking on someone’s behalf, it counted triple.
Later, Jiang Jian couldn’t hold on anymore. He was worried he might get drunk again himself, so he could only let his brother fend for himself. And during this process, he shamelessly realized something—
If Luo Shuxin also got drunk, and he saw Luo Shuxin’s embarrassing drunk side, then wouldn’t they be even?
Unfortunately, until everyone finished eating and the gathering ended, no one saw Luo Shuxin show any signs of being drunk.
Everyone’s admiration for Luo Shuxin gained one more reason—besides studying and sports, now also his alcohol tolerance.
But no one knew that Luo Shuxin was already drunk.
He didn’t blush when drinking, and he was usually quiet anyway, so no one could tell even if he was drunk.
It was only after everyone went home that Jiang Jian realized Luo Shuxin seemed a little strange.
Jiang Jian wanted to drink some water, but Luo Shuxin wouldn’t let him.
Jiang Jian asked why. Luo Shuxin didn’t answer.
But if Jiang Jian tried to drink, Luo Shuxin would snatch away his water bottle.
Simple. Direct. Persistent.
Jiang Jian slowly realized something. He raised two fingers and waved them in front of Luo Shuxin.
“How many is this?”
Luo Shuxin frowned, then answered firmly, “Two!”
Jiang Jian: “……”
Normally, Luo Shuxin definitely wasn’t this silly.
“He’s drunk,” Jiang Jian concluded firmly.
Jiang Jian clicked his tongue and shook his head. What goes around really does come around.
He thought back to what embarrassing things he had done in front of Luo Shuxin when he was drunk, and began to wonder if he could take back his dignity tonight.
While he was thinking, Luo Shuxin’s phone rang.
It was Luo Yue.
Luo Yue asked if Luo Shuxin could go home by himself. She might not be able to pick him up tonight.
It was quiet at night, and Jiang Jian was standing close to Luo Shuxin. Even without speakerphone, he could hear most of the conversation.
Jiang Jian took the phone and asked what happened. Only then did he find out that Luo Yue was at the hospital.
Jiang Jian was shocked, thinking something had happened to her. After asking more, he learned that Luo Yue had left half an hour ago to pick up Luo Shuxin, but in the elevator she met a girl who suddenly fainted.
She had seen that girl a few times before—the girl lived upstairs.
Luo Yue couldn’t just ignore her. She drove her to the hospital. After entering the emergency room, they found out it was a brain hemorrhage. It was serious. They couldn’t reach the girl’s family, so Luo Yue had to stay at the hospital for a while.
When Luo Yue heard Jiang Jian on the phone, she didn’t stand on ceremony. They were already very familiar. She asked if Uncle Wang, the driver, could make a detour to take Luo Shuxin home.
Luo Shuxin’s terrible sense of direction really made her worried.
Jiang Jian looked at Luo Shuxin, who was lowering his eyes and looking at him.
Luo Shuxin’s expression was calm. Only if you looked closely could you see the hidden gentleness in his eyes.
As long as Luo Shuxin didn’t say it himself, probably no one would know he was drunk.
Jiang Jian said, “If you don’t mind, how about Luo Shuxin stays at my house tonight? Uncle Wang can send us both to school tomorrow morning.”
Luo Yue: “……”
“Would that be inconvenient?”
“It won’t. That big house only has me living in it. If he comes, he’ll keep me company.”
Luo Yue knew Jiang Jian was just being polite, but she truly didn’t have a better option.
The girl in the emergency room was renting alone for work. It was hard to say whether her parents could arrive tonight.
Luo Yue had chatted with her a few times in the elevator. They weren’t close, but she thought the girl was nice. She couldn’t just leave like nothing had happened.
“Thank you, Xiao Jian.”
“What are you saying? How many times have I gone to your house?”
After hanging up, Jiang Jian put the phone back into Luo Shuxin’s pocket.
“Tonight, you belong to me. Got it?”
Luo Shuxin raised his eyebrow slightly.
Jiang Jian smiled and suddenly wanted to ruffle Luo Shuxin’s hair—just like Luo Shuxin often did to him.
But he didn’t have the height advantage. Standing on tiptoe to ruffle his hair would be a little embarrassing.
Uncle Wang was caught in traffic and arrived a bit late.
Jiang Jian brought Luo Shuxin into the car. Uncle Wang had no objection. He drove Jiang Jian every day and was very familiar with Luo Shuxin. He even knew Luo Yue. They weren’t strangers.
After returning home, Jiang Jian made Luo Shuxin sit on the sofa and went to make honey water for him.
His house was managed entirely by Aunt Zhou. He was basically useless at daily life. Just finding the honey took him a long time.
In the end, Luo Shuxin walked over and asked what he was doing. When he heard Jiang Jian was looking for honey, he skillfully opened Jiang Jian’s refrigerator—he had seen it before when he cooked for him last time.
Luo Shuxin took out the honey, poured it, added hot water, and stirred.
Whether it was his expression or movements, everything looked completely natural and flawless.
Jiang Jian: “……”
“Are you drunk or not?”
Luo Shuxin: “……”
