RAD Chapter 88

After a hearty meal, everyone patted their slightly bloated bellies, all with a satisfied expression on their faces. Of course, there were two exceptions. One was Luo Xiao. He had been eating his godmother’s cooking for years. Although he still sighed occasionally at the improvement in her cooking skills, he could eat it anytime he wanted. So he only ate a moderate amount. But to the others, this meant something else. The other unusual person was Yu Jia, who had no appetite. Thinking about the action he would do later, he had complicated emotions of nervousness and excitement.

“Today, we really must thank Director Luo for treating us.” Everyone expressed their gratitude in the end.

Luo Xiao waved his hand, “No problem, this is what you all deserve. If there are any future cooperation opportunities, let’s work together again.”

“Definitely, definitely.” Being able to work with a director who was serious, amiable, and generous was a stroke of good luck for the crew members.

Luo Xiao smiled and watched them leave in pairs, but then noticed Yu Jia staring intently at him. After realizing Luo Xiao had caught his gaze, Yu Jia quickly hid his true thoughts.

“Luo, Director Luo, I have something I want to say to you.” Yu Jia lowered his head and played with the hem of his clothes, saying with a hint of shyness, “Actually, I… I want to say something to you.”

“What do you mean?” Luo Xiao crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile. He was curious what tricks this Yu Jia had up his sleeve.

Yu Jia suddenly looked up, biting his lower lip hard, and softly said with eyes closed, “Director Luo, I like you.”

“Huh?” Luo Xiao expressed that the volume was several times smaller than the sound of mosquito. Even if he had sensitive hearing, there was no need to test him like this, right?

Yu Jia’s face turned pale, his body swaying slightly. He looked at Luo Xiao with tears in his eyes and said in sad tone, “Director Luo, you don’t have to deliberately humiliate me like this.”

“Huh?” Luo Xiao was truly at a loss now. Did he miss something? He couldn’t understand the disconnected words from Yu Jia at all. But one thing he could be sure of was that this guy must be up to no good. Oh well, since he didn’t know this guy’s intentions, he might as well just keep the same face.

Tears suddenly streamed down Yu Jia’s eyes, making him look like a beautiful woman in sorrow. If it weren’t for encountering Luo Xiao, who detested him to the bone, others would have come forward to comfort him gently. Ye Lan saw that Luo Xiao was still standing there motionlessly with an obvious “watching the show” expression, and he felt a surge of irritation in his heart. But thinking about the things he obtained from that person, he suppressed his resentment and said through sobs, “Director Luo, I know my identity and status are unworthy of you, the favored son of heaven. But I still want you to know my love for you. From the moment I first saw you, I realized you would be the most beautiful first love and secret love of my life. I don’t dare to hope that you will look at me differently, I just hope you can allow me to continue to secretly love you and witness your happiness.”

Luo Xiao’s entire body broke out in goosebumps from this emotional confession. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said flatly, “Since you’ve made me the object of your secret love, why bother telling me? Isn’t the whole point of a secret love that it’s only your own business? If you let me know, then it’s no longer a secret love but an open love. Aren’t you lying to me?”

“No, no, no,” Yu Jia frantically shook his head. “How could I lie to you? I love you so much!”

“Heh, really?” Luo Xiao sneered. Well, never mind their relationship. If he was truly loved, there might be a hint of evilness involved! Moreover, in his past life, this little bastard had to nerve to say to his face that he was grateful for his care over the years, but behind his back, he not only snatched his lover and stole his money, but also took his life!

“I knew you would react this way.” Yu Jia said with a bitter smile, as if he had anticipated it. Before Luo Xiao could react, he suddenly rushed forward and hugged him briefly, then ran away with tears covering his face.

Luo Xiao watched his quickly retreating back and frowned. What was this guy up to? He lowered his head and checked his sleeves, but there didn’t seem to be any strange smell. He then shook his whole body, but didn’t find anything abnormal either. However, based on this little bastard’s personality, his behavior today was definitely not normal. Judging from his understanding of this person in his past life, this little bastard would not do anything useless. That sudden hug must have had some sinister purpose.

On the other side, after running far away, Yu Jia secretly snuck back to the vicinity of the Tianxiang Lou. Watching Luo Xiao sniffing and shaking his clothes, Yu Jia couldn’t help but smile contemptuously: Hmph, this thing was given to me by that person. How could it be so easily discovered!

Watching Luo Xiao’s annoyed expression of seeing nothing unusual after trying so hard, a twisted and satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then he took one last deep look at Luo Xiao and left the place with a carefree stride.

At the shop door, Luo Xiao noticed that Yu Jia had truly left. Only then did he retract his spiritual power. Yes, that’s right, spiritual power. In fact, when Yu Jia was running away, Luo Xiao didn’t miss the brief flash of a triumphant smile on his face. After sensing something was off, Luo Xiao released his spiritual power to closely watch him. When he saw Yu Jia secretly return, he purposely acted anxious and helpless.

Furthermore, the moment he released the first hint of spiritual power, Luo Xiao sensed another faint spiritual power. Tracing it, he found a tiny insect that was about one-tenth the size of a grain of rice hiding in an inconspicuous seam on his clothes pocket. With a thought, he directly collected the small insect into his peach tree space to isolate it.

“Godmother, I’m going back first.” Luo Xiao said, greeting Xu Yan before leaving the place.

As soon as he got home, Luo Xiao found that Ye Lan was still awake and was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When Luo Xiao entered, Ye Lan’s eyes immediately lit up. “Xiao Xiao, you’re back?”

A faint smell of alcohol wafted over as he walked over, causing Ye Lan’s expression to darken: Should he let Xiao Xiao have a little more to drink? Normally it’s hard to find an excuse, but today is a good opportunity, isn’t it?

Luo Xiao took off his coat and hung it on the rack on the side. He went to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk to sober up. “Yezi, why are you still not sleeping?”

“I was waiting for you to come back and celebrate!” Ye Lan showed a wronged expression. “But you took so long to come back!”

“I’m sorry about that, they were enjoying the meal, so I came back a bit late.” Luo Xiao looked at him apologetically.

Ye Lan waved his hand. “Forget it, let’s just celebrate now. Wait here, I’ll get the wine.”

“Huh? Wine isn’t necessary.” Luo Xiao shook his head. “You know my alcohol tolerance isn’t great. Let’s just have milk instead.”

Hearing this, Ye Lan’s face fell, showing an obvious hurt look. “Sure enough, you still don’t like me, do you, Xiao Xiao?”

“Ah? How could that be?” Luo Xiao quickly denied it. “Yezi, you’re overthinking it.”

Ye Lan didn’t say anything more. He just silently looked at Luo Xiao with his eyes. Luo Xiao sighed deeply, put down the milk in his hand, and proactively went to the kitchen to get a bottle of red wine and two glasses. “Will this work?”

“No need, you don’t have to force yourself.” Ye Lan said bitterly.

Luo Xiao directly opened the wine bottle, poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to Ye Lan, and downed his own in one gulp. “I’ll drink mine.”

Ye Lan looked at him, then at the wine in his own hand, hesitating.

“What are you looking at? You said you wanted to celebrate with me, didn’t you? I’ve already drunk mine, now it’s your turn,” Luo Xiao glared at him. “Or were you just lying to me?”

“No, how could I lie to you!” Ye Lan looked at Luo Xiao sincerely. “I just wanted us to clink glasses and drink together.”

Luo Xiao glanced at him. Was he too hasty in drinking his? Forget it, he’ll pour another glass then, then he can go back to the room and sleep. With that thought, he refilled his own glass and clinked it with Ye Lan’s before downing it in one go. Surely that’s enough now, right?

As a result, just as he finished his drink, Ye Lan quickly took the wine bottle and expertly poured him another full glass. “Xiao Xiao, the last one you drank wasn’t as much as mine. No good, you have to drink one more.”

With two glasses of red wine already in his stomach, combined with the previous glass of white wine at the table, the alcohol was starting to slow Luo Xiao’s reactions. He looked at the glass in his hand, then at Ye Lan, pursed his lips and drank down the red wine.

Ye Lan looked at the currently blushing Luo Xiao and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, “Xiao Xiao, can I kiss you?”

Luo Xiao tilted his head and looked puzzledly at him. Then just as Ye Lan was about to move forward to kiss him, Luo Xiao reached out and hooked his neck, actively kissing him.

This excited the usually passive Ye Lan, who took the lead and carefully savored the rare meat in his mouth. After temporarily stunning Luo Xiao with the kiss, Ye Lan couldn’t help but scoop him up in a princess carry and walk into the master bedroom. Seeing the seductive Luo Xiao lying on the bed, Ye Lan’s eyes reddened. Just as he was about to say something, Luo Xiao actively kissed him again, his delicate hands constantly tearing at Ye Lan’s clothes. If one still didn’t understand at this point, Ye Lan would directly smash his head against a tofu!

“Mmm…” Luo Xiao opened his bleary eyes. The drinking last night had left his head feeling uncomfortable. He just wanted to rub his temples, but felt something strange on his body, especially a certain place that didn’t belong to him.

“Xiao Xiao, you’re awake~” Ye Lan moved that currently energetic part, “Good morning!”

“F*ck! Take that thing out of me!” Luo Xiao blushed furiously, gritting his teeth and saying, “Or else, I’ll cut it off.”

“Ah, we can’t have that.” Ye Lan rascally moved it a few more times, “It’s related to your future s*x life, you know!”

“You!” Luo Xiao immediately got angry, “Take it out immediately!”

Ye Lan looked at his embarrassed and angry expression. After all, he had had his fill last night, so he didn’t tease Luo Xiao anymore and directly withdrew it.

Feeling a liquid flow out along with it, Luo Xiao’s face flushed even redder. He turned his head and glared at Ye Lan fiercely: It’s all your fault!

Ye Lan knew that he had indeed gone a bit overboard yesterday, but what could he do? He finally tasted the meat for the first time. If he didn’t eat his fill, how could he be satisfied? So he rubbed his nose and looked at Luo Xiao fawningly, “Xiao Xiao, how about I carry you to take a bath?”

“No need!” Luo Xiao glared at him again, then proudly commanded, “I’ll go wash myself, you go make me breakfast. I want what you made!”

“Okay, no problem.” Ye Lan, the cooking idiot, would agree to whatever Luo Xiao said at this point. After confirming that Luo Xiao really didn’t need him to carry him to the bathroom, he left the bedroom with a regretful expression to prepare breakfast.

Seeing his unsightly regretful expression, Luo Xiao almost threw the pillow at his face: What are you regretting? I’ve already been eaten dry by you, what else do you want?

Hearing the clanging sounds from the kitchen downstairs, Luo Xiao could imagine Ye Lan’s clumsy movements, and his mood finally improved a bit. In fact, he had already mentally prepared himself for this kind of relationship between them. He just didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly. But there was nothing unacceptable about it, because after waking up, he recalled everything that happened last night. And he couldn’t help but want to dig a hole and bury himself! Doesn’t drinking cause blackouts? Why did he remember every detail so clearly, especially those passionate initiatives he took? Really, what’s wrong with him!

Luo Xiao clenched his fists and solemnly decided in his heart: Well, I will never drink again!
