Chapter 15: You’re Particularly Charming Tonight
Qi Yue was a bit surprised to see the man speaking was none other than Yue Tingyun, the lead singer of the band playing at the center of the dance floor.
He was also the man Lin Xiao was currently pursuing.
Lin Xiao had been frequenting this bar lately in hopes of wooing Yue Tingyun, but it seemed that Yue Tingyun was not easily swayed and quite aloof.
Unexpectedly, tonight, Yue Tingyun took the initiative to approach them. From the sound of it, he seemed to want to help them?
Unfortunately, Lin Xiao was not in the right mood tonight, so he might miss out on this opportunity.
“No need to bother, I’ll take him home now.”
Qi Yue’s left hand rested on Lin Xiao’s waist, outlining his slender figure.
With his right hand free, he subconsciously rejected the other’s offer of goodwill.
“Are you taking him to your place?”
“Mm.”
Although Lin Xiao liked Yue Tingyun, Qi Yue hadn’t interacted much with him. Most of what he knew was from Lin Xiao’s one-sided descriptions.
This was Qi Yue’s first time speaking with Yue Tingyun formally. They weren’t familiar with each other, and both Lin Xiao and Qi Yue weren’t in the best state of mind, so they didn’t want much interaction with Yue Tingyun.
As Qi Yue retracted his right hand and began to lead Lin Xiao out, a hand blocked their path.
“You seem to be dragging him, and he doesn’t seem comfortable.”
Yue Tingyun raised an eyebrow, staring directly at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue felt a chill down his spine from that gaze alone.
“I’m also Lin Xiao’s friend. I know where he lives. Let’s send him home together.”
Under the other’s assertive gaze, Qi Yue subconsciously nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go.”
Yue Tingyun naturally lifted Lin Xiao’s left hand to rest on his shoulder, his right hand supporting Lin Xiao’s back.
Lin Xiao felt like he was being carried by both of them.
“Um… uncomfortable…”
With another person on his left side, Lin Xiao’s hazy mind struggled to comprehend. He opened his eyes slightly, trying to focus on the person beside him.
Their faces were only three centimeters apart, breaths intertwining, and a blush stained Yue Tingyun’s cheeks.
But in his current dazed state, Lin Xiao could only recognize that the person was Yue Tingyun, but he couldn’t grasp any further details.
“Yue… Yue Yue Tingyun? Why… why are you here?”
Lin Xiao stuttered, the scent of sweet fruit wine lingering around Yue Tingyun’s nose.
Those attractive lips moved before him, and Yue Tingyun’s expression became entranced, as if he wanted to etch this moment into his memory forever.
“Awake? Take a few steps on your own if you’re awake. You don’t know your own strength, drinking so much.”
Qi Yue timely broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, pouring cold water over them.
It was already past midnight, and he was eager to go home. He couldn’t bear watching them exchange glances here.
Just then, Qi Yue’s phone vibrated in his left pocket.
He subconsciously let go of Lin Xiao and took out his phone to check.
It was a call from Shen Kuozhi.
It made sense. Besides his cohabiting partner, Mr. Shen, no one else would contact him at this hour.
“Hello?”
“Are you done playing over there?”
“Yeah, just finished.”
“It’s so late. I’ll come pick you up.”
“Mm.”
“No need, my friend is drunk, so I’ll take him home first.”
Because of the noisy background music, Qi Yue unintentionally raised his voice while talking to Shen Kuozhi on the phone. Both Lin Xiao and Yue Tingyun beside him heard his words clearly.
“Yue Yue, is that your friend from home!”
Lin Xiao, triggered by some switch, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qi Yue, calling out excitedly.
“Let your friend come pick you up, I… I…”
“I’ll take you home.”
Yue Tingyun interjected at the right moment.
“Yeah, let Yunyun take me home!”
Lin Xiao earnestly nodded, though his cheeks and lips were already stained with a tempting crimson hue, he insisted he wasn’t drunk.
“Lin Xiao, I’ll take him home. It’s late, you should let your friend come pick you up.”
Yue Tingyun continued Lin Xiao’s words, their voices uncontrolled. Although the background noise was loud, every word they said was clearly transmitted to Shen Kuozhi on the other end of the phone.
“I’ll come pick you up. Just tell me your address.”
Shen Kuozhi on the other end spoke softly to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue looked at his pigheaded teammate beside him and felt his position being squeezed by his infatuation with the male lead.
Watching his friend cling affectionately to Yue Tingyun, enjoying himself, Qi Yue sighed inwardly. He had no choice but to give Shen Kuozhi his address.
He could only help Lin Xiao to this extent; whether he could win over the lead singer was not his concern.
After leaving the bar, Yue Tingyun and Lin Xiao got into a taxi first.
Qi Yue stood alone at the intersection, waiting for Shen Kuozhi.
The cool breeze of the night swept his clothes, lingering on his skin for a moment before dissipating.
He hadn’t felt cold when he was happy at the bar earlier, wearing just a shirt, but now, staying outside for a while, he felt a bit chilly.
Rubbing his arms, Qi Yue checked the time. The bar was about forty or fifty minutes away from the school. It had only been ten minutes since he received the call, so there should be about half an hour left.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable in the cold wind, Qi Yue went into a nearby convenience store to warm up.
Half an hour later, Qi Yue’s phone vibrated, and a black SUV parked on the empty roadside.
“I’m across from JAM, in the SUV I drove to pick you up last time.”
“Okay, I’m coming.”
Besides the convenience store, Qi Yue immediately spotted Shen Kuozhi’s car. He dashed towards the SUV parked in the parking space on the roadside.
Opening the passenger door, Qi Yue felt a warm fragrance envelop him.
It was late, so Shen Kuozhi had come to pick him up himself.
As soon as he got in the car, Shen Kuozhi handed him a suit jacket.
“Wearing so little, aren’t you cold?”
“Thank you, a little.”
Qi Yue wasn’t polite. He put on the jacket, which was obviously several sizes too big for him.
Wrapped in the jacket, surrounded by the warmth in the car, Qi Yue couldn’t help but feel warm all over, and drowsiness quickly overtook him.
Shen Kuozhi glanced at Qi Yue out of the corner of his eye.
Today’s Qi Yue was different from usual, with rosy cheeks and moist lips, wearing a style of shirt he wouldn’t normally wear, but unexpectedly suited him, making him even more enchanting and captivating, a rare sight.
