Bai Yanfei couldn't possibly be asleep at this hour, but he had already turned off the light. If he played on his phone now, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?
He turned over. His vision wasn't very good in the dark, but he could still see that Ling Zeyu had his back to him.
He became even angrier after discovering that Ling Zeyu had his back to him.
Ling Zeyu had never turned his back to him before, but now he dared to turn his back to him?
Men are all such jerks, getting tired of him so quickly, getting annoyed with him so fast.
Bai Yanfei kicked Ling Zeyu's butt. Ling Zeyu was caught off guard by the kick and turned his head to see that Bai Yanfei had his eyes closed.
"Asleep?" Ling Zeyu saw that Bai Yanfei had kicked off the blanket and covered him up again. As he tucked the blanket in, he muttered, "Why do you keep kicking off the blanket lately? What if you catch a cold?"
He glanced at the air conditioner's temperature; it was still the same.
Bai Yanfei is a bit sensitive to heat, and his own body temperature is also on the higher side, so their comfort levels are similar, and they both prefer the air conditioning setting. This avoids many potential family incidents. Ling Zeyu feels that he and Bai Yanfei are very compatible in many ways, so he is confident that he can win Bai Yanfei back.
——
The social gathering was held the night before Ling Zeyu had to rush to his scheduled event. As he was packing his clothes, Bai Yanfei sat in front of the mirror getting his hair and makeup done.
Ling Zeyu found it strange; it was already evening, so why was Bai Yanfei fiddling with his hair?
After fixing his hair, Ling Zeyu noticed that Bai Yanfei had changed into a nice outfit. It was his usual style: a flashy top and shorts.
Bai Yanfei grabbed his keys and phone and was about to leave when Ling Zeyu, without even unpacking his luggage, blocked the doorway: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to see my friends." There were many people he knew at the social gathering, and since he had decided to provoke Ling Zeyu, he was determined to see it through. Although he had calmed down, he still couldn't swallow his anger.
Besides, he'd already signed up, and the bar owner, seeing his name on the registration form, couldn't refuse his invitation. Even if it wasn't for a social event, catching up with old friends would be fine.
He didn't really have any designs on the others; he just wanted Ling Zeyu to know that he wasn't short of people around him, and that even if Ling Zeyu wasn't there, he could find someone else, but he just didn't want to.
Ling Zeyu had no doubts. Bai Yanfei also needed his own social life. Besides, he trusted Bai Yanfei a lot, so he took a step back and let Bai Yanfei go out without worry.
"Remember to let me know when you come back. If you don't want me to pick you up, have the driver take you back, and I'll come downstairs to meet you." After saying that, Ling Zeyu continued packing his luggage.
This action reignited Bai Yanfei's anger.
He didn't leave until evening, and went out to see friends at night. Ling Zeyu didn't suspect anything at all? Sure enough, love will eventually disappear. Ling Zeyu just doesn't care about himself anymore.
"I probably won't be back very early, so don't wait for me. You have a gig tomorrow."
Ling Zeyu didn't detect the sarcasm in Bai Yanfei's tone. He nodded and said, "It's okay. I sleep late, so I can sleep on the way. Don't come back too late, be careful, and don't drink alcohol, okay?"
"What's it to you? Humph." Bai Yanfei stormed out in anger. He deliberately didn't tell Ling Zeyu where he was going, hoping Ling Zeyu would ask him where he was going. But Ling Zeyu didn't ask a single question and just told him to leave. Wasn't that a sign that he didn't love him anymore?
After Bai Yanfei got out of the car, there were two security guards standing at the entrance. The bar was relatively quiet, unlike other noisy bars. He looked up at the sign, showed his ID, and went inside.
Chapter 130 Encounter at the Bar
The bar was sparsely populated with people drinking. He sat in a corner. He didn't like crowded places, and sitting in a corner would avoid a lot of disturbance and make it easier for his friends to find him.
After ordering a glass of fruit wine, Bai Yanfei looked around idly.
The last time he came here was when he had just returned to China. The place had been renovated recently, and the store manager had asked for his opinion on the renovation style. He looked around with satisfaction.
The environment is great, and the style is unique, just the type he likes.
It's very comfortable staying here.
Bai Yanfei took a sip of fruit wine. Ling Zeyu had always kept him in check, not letting him touch alcohol. Now, when he drank a little, he felt a bit unfamiliar with it.
He took a sip of the wine and found it rather tasteless. He stared at the wine glass in his hand for a long time, and finally ordered several different wines.
He simply refused to believe in such superstitions.
The store manager is a 30-year-old man with a baby face. If you didn't know his real age, you would probably think he was only in his early twenties.
The store manager likes people to call him Brother Yao, and considering his age, Bai Yanfei thinks it's normal to call him Brother Yao.
"Long time no see. Where have you been busy lately?" Brother Yao noticed the several glasses of wine in front of Bai Yanfei. "Not to your liking? Why did you order so much wine?"
"Want to try something new?" Bai Yanfei thought he was seeing things, but then he saw a familiar figure appear at the door. He rubbed his eyes, and the figure disappeared again.
"What are you looking at?" Brother Yao followed Bai Yanfei's gaze and looked back, but didn't see anyone else.
"My eyes are playing tricks on me," Bai Yanfei muttered. Ling Zeyu should be at home; how could he possibly be here?
The next second, a familiar voice rang out behind Bai Yanfei.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming to a bar?
Bai Yanfei turned his head sharply. Ling Zeyu pursed his lips, his expression unreadable, but Bai Yanfei knew he was angry.
He was angry too. Why couldn't he come to the bar? Was Ling Zeyu the only one allowed to appear at the bar?
Yao shrugged, glanced at Ling Zeyu, and left.
"Aren't you at a bar too? We're evenly matched." Bai Yanfei retorted without any politeness.
"If you weren't here, would I have come over?"
Ling Zeyu took Bai Yanfei's hand, and Bai Yanfei stared at Ling Zeyu's well-defined hand for a while before finally shaking off Ling Zeyu's hand.
Didn't you say you didn't want to touch him? What's the meaning of this now?
Ling Zeyu's hand froze in mid-air; he pursed his lips and remained silent. Bai Yanfei sat down, and he followed suit.
Seeing the several glasses of wine laid out in front of him, Ling Zeyu felt both angry and heartbroken. With a bad stomach, why order so much alcohol? If he wanted a drink, he could just have a little. Was he ordering so much to annoy him?
Ling Zeyu was afraid that Bai Yanfei would finish the wine in front of him in a fit of pique, so he kept drinking one glass after another.
When they were drinking their fourth cup, Bai Yanfei grabbed his hand.
"Are you crazy? Why are you drinking so much?"
Ling Zeyu tried to pull his hand away, but found that Bai Yanfei was holding it very tightly.
Bai Yanfei shook off Ling Zeyu's hand. He was furious and stood up to walk outside.
"Yan Yan!"
Ling Zeyu had no appetite for drinking anymore. He hurriedly followed Bai Yanfei upstairs to a private room, where he was all alone.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you want to have a drink? I gave you my seat."
Ling Zeyu rubbed his temples and looked at Bai Yanfei helplessly: "I think we need to have a serious talk."
"What's there to talk about? Aren't you just tired of it? Why put on this act anymore? If you're annoyed, just leave. I won't stop you."
"I'm tired of you?" Ling Zeyu said, both amused and exasperated. "Who upset you? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you."
"Besides you, who else is by my side?" Bai Yanfei pushed Ling Zeyu away. "Have you realized that you don't actually like me anymore?"
Ling Zeyu sorted out his thoughts and suddenly realized something.
"You think I don't love you anymore?" Ling Zeyu narrowed his eyes, then suddenly grabbed Bai Yanfei's waist and pressed him against the wall. He then wedged his legs into Bai Yanfei's lower body, making it impossible for Bai Yanfei to move.
"you--"
"Who told you that? Just because I often make you angry, you think I don't love you anymore? Then what have I been feeling so resentful for all these days? You won't tell me why you're angry, and you won't talk to me. You'd rather be fiddling with your phone, looking at the lock screen and scrolling through Weibo than even glancing at me. Am I so ugly that you can't even look at me?"
Bai Yanfei was pressed against the wall, unable to lift his head after Ling Zeyu's words.
“I remember everything you said. You said you liked this, so I prepared it for you. You said you didn’t want to touch me, so I kept my distance from you. You were angry and didn’t want to talk to me, so I didn’t go up to bother you. Seeing you angry and sad made me feel bad too, but you didn’t want to say it.”
"Don't you know why I'm angry? Isn't it because of you?" Bai Yanfei pushed Ling Zeyu's strong chest. "Move aside, you're too close."
“If I don’t get this close, you’ll run away again.” Ling Zeyu lowered his head and stared at Bai Yanfei’s face. “Tell me, what else are you not satisfied with? I’ll change it. If you don’t tell me, I’ll pursue you in my own way.”
"Let me go first." Bai Yanfei struggled for a moment, but his strength was no match for Ling Zeyu's.
Ling Zeyu was determined not to let go. He picked up Bai Yanfei and put him on the sofa, then pressed himself against her.
This position is dangerous; Bai Yanfei could easily brush against Ling Zeyu if he moved even slightly, so he remained still, trying to minimize his presence.
"What do you want? Tell me."
"I don't want anything."
"Be my date at the press conference and walk the red carpet with me."
"I refuse." Bai Yanfei was slightly out of breath, and the oppressive Ling Zeyu made his mouth dry.
"Then I'll kidnap you and take you there. At worst, I'll make the news."
Bai Yanfei: "..."
"You're crazy!" Bai Yanfei tried to sit up, but Ling Zeyu pressed him down again.
"I don't care, you have to participate, you can't refuse."
Bai Yanfei was completely too scared to move, because he sensed that something was wrong with Ling Zeyu.
"You felt it too, didn't you?" Ling Zeyu said hoarsely. "Don't run away. Wait for me—it might not be long. I'm going to the restroom. If I don't see you when I come out, I'll take care of you."
In a moment of impulsiveness, Bai Yanfei reached out and grabbed Ling Zeyu.
Chapter 131 Selling Merchandise
"You..." Ling Zeyu quickly pressed down on Bai Yanfei's hand, "Yanyan—"
"I know."
"Let go first, or you can come with me, just let go first, okay?" Ling Zeyu was really in a bit of pain.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yanfei nodded: "Okay."
Ling Zeyu got up from Bai Yanfei, who patted imaginary dust off his clothes. He followed behind Ling Zeyu, who turned around and looked at him in surprise.
Bai Yan said nonchalantly, "What's wrong? Didn't you say I could go in too?"
The blush on Bai Yanfei's earlobes couldn't hide her shyness, but Ling Zeyu didn't notice Bai Yanfei's earlobes today; he just felt that Bai Yanfei was acting strangely today.
Having drunk a few glasses of wine earlier, Ling Zeyu was still a little dizzy.
But he couldn't let Bai Yanfei watch him, could he? That would be too embarrassing. Even if he were shameless, he wouldn't do such a thing.
“You…” Ling Zeyu walked into the bathroom. The second floor of this bar had rooms, so no one would disturb them. Moreover, Ling Zeyu locked the door when he entered.
"What's wrong? Can't I come in? Didn't you ask me to come in?"
Ling Zeyu was speechless; he had no way to express his bitterness. The bathroom was large. He took off his clothes with his back to Bai Yanfei, and then turned on the cold water.
