I wonder if Bai Yanfei knows that the person last night was him. After filming wrapped up, he had no other excuse to continue looking for Bai Yanfei.
Ling Zeyu twirled the pen between his fingers. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows. There was a press conference in a few days, which was the Lu family's home event. He could go and join in the fun. Bai Yanfei was an employee of the Lu family, so he would definitely be there too.
The opportunity has arrived!
Ling Zeyu is now hoping that Bai Yanfei will leave as soon as possible, but that's unrealistic. Bai Yanfei has already become quite famous in the industry, and Lu Qianyi won't let go of this cash cow. Moreover, Lu Qianyi is protecting Bai Yanfei very well, so Bai Yanfei is even less likely to leave.
Thinking of this, Ling Zeyu felt defeated for the first time in his life. All of this was his own doing. He blamed himself for misjudging people. If he hadn't been so confused, he wouldn't have been so clueless about who he loved.
...
At the banquet.
Bai Yanfei put on a well-tailored suit. He habitually sat in the corner, and apart from a few acquaintances who came over to greet him, no one would bother him. He felt that this was just fine.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on one person.
Ling Zeyu walked slowly. Wherever this man went, he was a shining star and the center of attention.
The man held a wine glass in his hand, his back was straight, his hair was combed back, revealing his forehead perfectly. His understated black suit did not look understated on him, but rather added to his allure.
Bai Yanfei's gaze also involuntarily focused on Ling Zeyu. After watching for a few seconds, he realized that Ling Zeyu was walking towards the spot where he was sitting. He didn't want to become the focus of everyone's attention.
Just as he was about to stand up and leave, Ling Zeyu stopped in front of him. He was chatting with a middle-aged man and didn't even glance at him.
Bai Yanfei suddenly felt a little ashamed, but at the same time, he also felt a little disappointed.
So Ling Zeyu didn't come here to see him after all.
Bai Yanfei's gaze kept falling on Ling Zeyu, who was still talking to the middle-aged man. Given his previous experience of getting drunk, Bai Yanfei dared not drink recklessly again.
There were so many colorful bottles of wine at the banquet, but he didn't dare touch a single one.
"Then I look forward to our cooperation."
"good."
Ling Zeyu shook hands with the other person in a friendly manner. After the middle-aged man left, Bai Yanfei lowered his head and pretended to drink juice. Ling Zeyu walked past him without stopping for a moment.
For some reason, Bai Yanfei felt a void in his heart.
Ling Zeyu stopped chasing him, and he should have been happy, but he couldn't feel happy at all.
Ling Zeyu wandered around the room, and many people came up to toast him. Ling Zeyu seemed to be in a good mood today, accepting everyone's toast. He had already drunk quite a few glasses of wine, and Bai Yanfei was a little worried that Ling Zeyu would get drunk.
Ling Zeyu's alcohol tolerance wasn't as good as everyone thought. Bai Yanfei had seen Ling Zeyu drunk before. When he was drunk, he had a terrible temper and was quite strong.
Bai Yanfei was unaware that he had begun to worry about Ling Zeyu, nor did he realize that Ling Zeyu was constantly in his sight; all he could see was the glass of wine he kept drinking.
Ling Zeyu finally stopped and sat diagonally opposite Bai Yanfei, head down, seemingly lost in thought. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Bai Yanfei hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to drink juice.
A shadow blocked his view. Bai Yanfei looked up, holding a cup, and Ling Zeyu placed a fresh glass of juice in front of him.
"You've finished this drink, how about trying something different?"
"Th...thank you." Bai Yanfei took the juice, but when he saw that he was holding an empty cup, he felt even more embarrassed.
Did Ling Zeyu see my embarrassing moment? How shameful! Why isn't Ling Zeyu leaving? Doesn't he have a social engagement to attend to?
Bai Yanfei hoped Ling Zeyu would leave, but Ling Zeyu sat down next to him instead.
"I drank too much alcohol just now, so I came here to hide for a while. There are fewer people here."
Chapter 110 Major Identity Reveal Warning
The banquet wasn't held arbitrarily, so he naturally had no right to kick Ling Zeyu out.
Bai Yanfei glanced at Ling Zeyu, who narrowed his eyes slightly. A faint smell of alcohol wafted into Bai Yanfei's nostrils, causing him to wrinkle his nose.
The familiar scent of perfume surrounded him. Bai Yanfei had bought this perfume before, but he had never used it, for fear that it would remind him of Ling Zeyu.
Is it pretty?
Ling Zeyu suddenly spoke, and Bai Yanfei, who was still holding the juice, was so startled that his hand trembled and he almost dropped it.
"Careful." Ling Zeyu gripped Bai Yanfei's hand to steady the cup. "Why are you spacing out? Am I really that good-looking?"
Bai Yanfei quickly pulled his hand away and turned his head away: "If it didn't look good, why would so many investors come to you to shoot commercials?"
Bai Yanfei's breathing became a little rapid; he hadn't felt this kind of excitement in a long time. Even when Ling Zeyu tried to please him, chasing after him and sending him flowers and gifts, it couldn't compare to the joy he felt just now.
“What you said makes sense.” Ling Zeyu placed the juice in front of Bai Yanfei. “I’ll be leaving for a while.”
Bai Yanfei nodded, watching Ling Zeyu's departing figure, his palm placed on his heart.
It's still jumping around there.
A long-lost feeling of excitement.
The banquet was almost over, and Bai Yanfei still hadn't seen Ling Zeyu. He stood up and went to the top floor. The top floor wasn't a place that anyone could just go up to, but since he was now a member of the Lu family, the security guards at the entrance recognized him.
Upon going up, one sees Ling Zeyu with his collar open, surrounded by several prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
They were all accompanied by young boys, except for Ling Zeyu.
Ling Zeyu stared unfocused into the distance, several empty wine glasses already piled on the table. Bai Yanfei didn't know how much he had drunk, but judging from Ling Zeyu's expression, he could guess that Ling Zeyu had had quite a bit.
A little boy stared at Ling Zeyu for a long time, and Bai Yanfei frowned. He watched as the little boy climbed onto Ling Zeyu and then sat down next to him.
Ling Zeyu shoved him away without any mercy. The boy seemed not to have expected Ling Zeyu to be so rough. He fell to the ground, staring at Ling Zeyu in disbelief.
"The child is young and doesn't understand. He doesn't know that you don't like people clinging to you. Please don't be angry, Mr. Ling."
Someone saw Ling Zeyu's face darken and quickly tried to reconcile them. The boy bowed and apologized profusely, then slunk away, bumping into Bai Yanfei as he ran.
"hiss--"
Bai Yanfei stumbled after being bumped by the boy. He hit the door frame with his elbow, which made him wince in pain.
"Why are you blocking the way? Don't you know that a good dog doesn't block the road?"
"Are you alright? Did you bump yourself anywhere? Let me see." Ling Zeyu looked anxiously at the spot Bai Yanfei was covering. Hearing the little boy's words, he looked down at him.
The other person, seeing Ling Zeyu's fierce gaze, was so frightened that they sat down on the ground. Bai Yanfei frowned and gently nudged Ling Zeyu. The distance between the two of them was too ambiguous, and there were other people watching inside. He didn't want to cause any scandals.
"It's nothing, I just bumped into something accidentally."
"What did you just say?" Ling Zeyu shielded Bai Yanfei behind him, his hawk-like black eyes looking at the trembling little boy on the ground, who was so frightened that he kowtowed to Ling Zeyu.
"I...I didn't say anything, I was just talking nonsense, please don't hold it against me, President Ling."
Bai Yanfei frowned. He looked at the little boy begging for mercy on the ground, and then at Ling Zeyu.
"It's alright, I'm not hurt anywhere."
"Isn't this Director Bai?" Meng Chang walked out and gave a look to the little boy, who scrambled away. But he probably wouldn't be able to stay there any longer.
"I am Zeyu's agent, Meng Chang."
"Hello." Bai Yanfei had a bad feeling.
The next second, Meng Chang pulled Bai Yanfei into the conversation. Since they were both in the entertainment industry, they had common topics to discuss.
Bai Yanfei felt uneasy, the gazes of those around him making him very uncomfortable. Meng Chang had slipped away under some excuse at some point, and they used various pretexts to get Ling Zeyu drunk, which he did.
Sitting next to Ling Zeyu, Bai Yanfei could clearly smell the alcohol on Ling Zeyu.
Bai Yanfei tugged at Ling Zeyu's sleeve: "I want to go back."
He didn't try to persuade Ling Zeyu to stop drinking; he didn't have that authority. All he could do was leave.
"good."
Ling Zeyu stood up, but he was already unsteady on his feet. Bai Yanfei didn't know whether he was awake or drunk.
Ling Zeyu put his hand on Bai Yanfei's shoulder: "Help me up, I'll take you out. They won't dare stop me."
The banquet was almost over, and the two walked down to the garage. Ling Zeyu stopped, staring blankly at the rows of cars.
"Where's your driver? Call him first. You seem a bit drunk." Bai Yanfei was also worried about leaving Ling Zeyu in the garage. If he ran out and got hit by a car, it would be a life lost.
Ling Zeyu shook his head: "We didn't bring a driver."
"Then call him and ask him to come over."
"No!" Although Ling Zeyu's steps were unsteady, he still accurately found Bai Yanfei's car. "I want you to take me home. I took you home last time, so it's your turn this time."
Give me your phone.
Ling Zeyu squinted at Bai Yanfei: "It's on me, you can take it yourself."
"You...!" Bai Yanfei opened the car door. "I'll take you back. Get in the car, and get out when we arrive."
Ling Zeyu got into the passenger seat.
"Sit in the back!"
“You’re not my driver, so I’m going to sit in the passenger seat.”
Ling Zeyu, drunk, acted a bit childish. Bai Yanfei knew he couldn't reason with a drunk person, so he suppressed his anger, got into his car, and drove him home.
Everything went smoothly on the road, except—
Ling Zeyu tilted his head and closed his eyes, breathing evenly. Bai Yanfei couldn't wake him no matter what he tried. The lights in the villa were off, and no one answered the doorbell after he rang it for a long time.
At this moment, Bai Yanfei was so angry that he just wanted to throw Ling Zeyu on the ground, but he knew he couldn't do that. If a robber came, Ling Zeyu would lose his life.
So Bai Yanfei had no choice but to take Ling Zeyu back to his home, where Ling Zeyu woke up.
Bai Yanfei felt that Ling Zeyu was playing with him, but remembering that Ling Zeyu had taken care of him when he was drunk last time, he held back.
"We've arrived. Go take a shower first, and leave when you wake up tomorrow. I don't want people to misunderstand."
Ling Zeyu nodded, but it was unclear whether he understood or not.
Bai Yanfei emptied Ling Zeyu's belongings, threw Ling Zeyu into the bathroom, and then took out his phone to confide in someone.
He had just sent a WeChat message when he heard a phone ring once in the room. He sent it again, and it rang once more.
Bai Yanfei didn't believe in superstition. He looked at Ling Zeyu's phone and sent a WeChat message to Mu Bai. Ling Zeyu's phone lit up.
Chapter 111 Pillow Fight
Ling Zeyu, who was taking a shower in a daze, had no idea what was going on. He was actually half drunk. At the banquet, he had been drinking for the first half of the time in order to impress Bai Yanfei. Although he was drunk, he was still somewhat conscious.
