Chapter 51 Getting Drunk... [7,000 words]

Faced with his earnest and expectant gaze, Bai Yujin simply couldn't bring himself to shake his head and say no, fearing that he might burst into tears again if he became unhappy.

Therefore, Bai Yujin could only smile at him and ask in a very gentle voice, "You've lived here for so long, why do you want to go back? Do you not like it here?"

"Has it been a long time?" Shen Jin blinked, racked his brains, and found that he had no clue. He could only tilt his head and laugh, "I don't remember. My head hurts when I think about it. I don't want to think about it!"

"Alright, let's not think about it for now." Bai Yujin smiled, looking at his pale face, which had lost a lot of weight during his hospital stay. "Are you hungry? Let's eat first. Once you've eaten your fill and recovered, I'll take you home, okay?"

Shen Jin's mind was now like a mess, and he had little memory of the past twenty years. All he could see was Bai Yujin. Although he didn't know him, he didn't dislike him and thought he was a nice person who was good to him.

Therefore, when Shen Jin heard that he had agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy. His eyes crinkled with laughter, as if they held tiny starlight. He revealed his big white teeth and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Yan Yu was unaware of what was happening at the hospital; he only knew that Shen Jin had regained consciousness. Before he could ask any further questions, Bai Yujin hung up the phone, which left him somewhat annoyed.

Then he thought about it and figured that it was probably nothing serious. After all, if Shen Jin's condition were bad, Bai Yujin wouldn't be so calm and would have informed him.

Thinking about it this way, he calmed down a lot. Suddenly, the image of Shen Jin smiling when he was with him appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile back.

Yan Yu touched the corner of his mouth, and after a long pause, he muttered to himself, "When I see him again, I should apologize properly and everything should be fine... After all, it was an accident, and he should be able to understand."

He didn't know where his confidence came from, but he inexplicably felt that Shen Jin would forgive him.

Perhaps it was because Shen Jin was always smiling during the time he spent with him, his beautiful eyebrows were curved, he was very happy, he never got angry, he was easy to coax, and he was always very good-tempered when he was with him.

Therefore, he didn't know how many tears that person had shed for him, what wounds they had suffered, how heart-wrenching their cries had been, or how much hope had turned into despair in their sobs...

Xie Li had just been squatting in the garden in front of the hammock, playing with the lush green leaves and touching the bright flowers, when he hung up the phone and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Who called?"

Actually, he had his ears perked up the moment the phone rang, but his hearing was limited and the distance was too far, so he couldn't hear clearly and couldn't figure out what they were talking about. He could only come over and try to find out indirectly.

"Bai Yujin called," Yan Yu put his phone in his pocket, not hiding anything, after all, it was good news, and letting him know would probably relax him a lot. "Shen Jin has woken up."

The smile that Xie Li had managed to force onto her beautiful face cracked slightly for a moment, but quickly returned. She exclaimed in surprise, then laughed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful! I was worried when I went to see him today, but I didn't expect him to wake up!"

Seeing his genuine joy at Shen Jin's awakening, Yan Yu's smile softened slightly, and he nodded, "Now you don't need to worry so much. Judging from Bai Yujin's tone, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Is that so?" Xie Li's smile remained unchanged, but her voice trembled slightly, and her nails slowly dug into the flesh of her palms. She said with a smile, "That's wonderful. Let's go see him together when we have time. He'll definitely be happy."

Xie Li's heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time. His emotions were like waves, one after another, arriving unexpectedly and catching him off guard.

If Shen Jin has regained consciousness and is clear-headed, remembering everything, then all the lies he told before will be exposed!

Furthermore, if Yan Yu knew that he was the one who pushed Shen Jin out, causing him to get injured, and then falsely accused him of trying to trip him up, how would Yan Yu view him?

Just thinking about it made Xie Li break out in a cold sweat. He could only take a deep breath and his mind raced, trying to figure out how to prevent Yan Yu and Chen Jin from meeting so soon.

That damned Chen Jin, couldn't he just disappear from their world quietly?!

"By the way, are you busy tomorrow? You must have a lot of things to deal with at the company, right?" Xie Li looked at Yan Yu with a smile, afraid that he would not be able to resist going to visit Shen Jin today, so she had to take the initiative.

Yan Yu was lost in thought and didn't hear what he had just said. He glanced at him and asked, "Hmm?"

Xie Li smiled, her eyes crinkling, and her voice carrying a faint smile as she said matter-of-factly, "Shen Jin has woken up, so of course we should arrange a time to go see him together. Naturally, we need to know when you are free."

Before Yan Yu could reply with when he would be free, he rubbed his temples, sighed with some distress, and said with a helpless smile, "I just came back from the hospital today. I felt a little dizzy in the car. I can't stand the smell of medicine in the hospital. I feel a bit uncomfortable."

The meaning is quite clear: he wants to go see Chen Jin with Yan Yu, but he's not feeling well today and can't go. Of course, Yan Yu won't go alone either; they'll wait until he's feeling better before going together.

"Hmm, no rush. You should rest well first. It's important to take care of your health." Yan Yu gently patted his back. When he heard that he was also going to see Shen Jin, his smile deepened. He thought that Shen Jin would be happy to have another person with him.

"That's true. I hope this sickly body will get better soon." Xie Li breathed a sigh of relief after succeeding. He rubbed his face with his hands, smiled childishly, and said with a hint of defiance, "I drank too much medicine. I feel like throwing up. Just smelling it makes me feel sick."

"Why are you acting like a child?" Yan Yu couldn't help but chuckle. "Things will get better someday, Ali. Don't worry, it'll only make things worse for your health."

The two entered the house chatting and laughing together. When the servants saw them, they all nodded and greeted them with smiles and great respect.

This gave Xie Li a sense of pride that he was another master of the house, and his vanity was greatly satisfied, making his smile even more intense.

This also made him even more convinced that they had to keep going and absolutely could not let Shen Jin ruin everything.

Once Yan Yu was no longer by his side, Xie Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out his phone to call Xu Cheng. As soon as the call connected, he anxiously asked, "What happened! How could Shen Jin wake up so quickly! And didn't the doctor say that he would have brain problems after waking up?!"

Xu Cheng was quite happy when he received the call, but as soon as the call connected and he heard him asking these questions, he instantly frowned in displeasure: "You went to all this trouble to call me, and all you did was ask these questions? Am I his attending physician or am I a mind reader? How would I know!"

Xie Li was somewhat displeased by his retort, her delicate brows furrowing tightly. She calmed down a little, took a breath, and said in a gentle voice, "Go and find out what happened, whether he is truly lucid or just stupid. Tell me whatever you find out."

Xu Cheng sneered. This time, he didn't go along with Xu Cheng's whims and instead flatly refused: "I'm not going!"

Xie Li was taken aback, a hint of anger rising on his face, but he managed to suppress it and said through gritted teeth, "You're so good at getting information, why won't you help me with something so simple?"

Xu Cheng spoke frankly, with a hint of anger: "Because I don't want you to become someone I don't recognize!"

Unfortunately, these words had no effect on Xie Li. He wouldn't listen to them at all, and he didn't feel that he had changed at all. He was just dealing with some of the obstacles in his way, which was nothing special.

Just as he was about to hang up, Xu Cheng felt a vague unease. He gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and uttered a warning: "If you continue to act recklessly, I won't hesitate to tell Yan Yu everything! How will you maintain your pure and innocent image in front of him then!"

Xie Li's well-defined knuckles gradually clenched into fists, veins bulging, and then he told him, word by word, very clearly and firmly: "If that's the case, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and then Xu Cheng hung up the phone without saying anything.

Xie Li's anger towards Shen Jin intensified. If it weren't for his appearance, Yan Yu would still be circling around him as before, and Xu Cheng would still be as infatuated with him as ever. They wouldn't be like they are now, all of them seeming to be going against him!

"Tsk, damn it!" Xie Li cursed, as if he had been holding back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but kick the wall hard. Even so, he still couldn't calm down his anger.

Yan Yuzheng came in from outside carrying the medicine. He seemed to have heard something and asked before he even arrived, "Ali, what's wrong?"

Xie Li's expression changed instantly. He quickly suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and said somewhat stiffly, "It's nothing. I was just on the phone with A-Cheng, chatting for a bit."

When Yan Yu heard the name "A-Cheng", he was stunned for a moment. In the past, he would have been very unhappy when he heard it because he knew that the person liked Xie Li and did not want them to get too close. But now, for some reason, that feeling had faded a lot.

As a result, he didn't ask what they talked about at all. It was as if suddenly, he didn't care as much as before and could accept it, which left him confused about what was going on.

He brought the medicine to him, smiling as he handed it to him: "The medicine is ready, drink it quickly."

"Okay, fine..." Xie Li took the medicine bowl, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark glint flashed in them. He was also a little annoyed that he wasn't being fed the medicine spoonful by spoonful like before.

Frustrated as he was, he was too embarrassed to ask Yan Yu these questions in front of him. He could only quickly think of ways to get them back to how they were before.

Just as Xie Li finished drinking the medicine, a thought suddenly struck him, and he said with a gentle smile, "By the way, A Yu, I have a college classmate who recently came to visit this city. I'll go out and meet him later."

"Okay," Yan Yu didn't refuse, but instead asked, "Do you need me to take you there?"

Xie Li gently shook her head and smiled, "No need to trouble you. You've been working hard staying with me at the hospital lately, so get some rest. I won't be gone for long; I'll probably be back in an hour or two."

Yan Yu agreed, "Okay, take care of yourself."

When Xie Li left, Yan Yu returned to his study, intending to finish up some of his accumulated work. However, for some reason, he was absent-minded and couldn't concentrate at all.

Even when dealing with some projects, his thoughts would suddenly fly far away, as if they had suddenly flown to the hospital and landed on Shen Jin, and then the smile on his lips would become more intense.

Immediately afterwards, he made another mistake in his work.

Yan Yu let out a soft sigh, staring at the documents on the table. He helplessly rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself, "What's wrong with me? I just can't calm down..."

Not only could I not calm down, but the image of Chen Jin kept resurfacing. From the time we met in the bar to the little things that happened afterward, I seemed to have paid little attention to them before, but when I recalled them, they were so clear.

Moreover, these fragments of memory would always surface uncontrollably in his mind, occasionally making him miss him terribly... want to see him, want to see him by his side, as if only then could he feel at ease.

"This is really strange..." Yan Yu shook his head, increasingly confused about what he was thinking. He figured it was probably because he had too many things going on lately and was feeling overwhelmed. He went to get himself a cup of coffee to clear his head.

But when he finished his coffee and returned to the table, Shen Jin's image was still lingering in his mind. He could only take a deep breath, pick up his phone, and try to call him.

"Hmm?" He found Shen Jin's number and was about to click on it when he accidentally tapped on his text messages and saw a message he had sent to Shen Jin some time ago—

"I'll give you money, you give me your body, available anytime." That's our deal. You want money, right? Now I'll tell you to come to my villa within half an hour!

This text message was sent in a fit of anger when Shen Jin didn't answer his calls. Now, looking at it again, for some reason, he felt a slight pain in his heart, feeling that things shouldn't be like this between them.

At the same time, something vaguely came to his mind, and his face suddenly turned deathly pale.

His text message asked Shen Jin to come to his villa, but he hadn't taken Shen Jin very seriously at the time, so he never brought Shen Jin back to his villa...

Let alone ordering him over in that commanding tone, even if Shen Jin really wanted to come, he couldn't, because Shen Jin had no idea where his villa was, and he had never even stepped through the gate...

After Yan Yu realized what had happened, his heart felt as if it had been squeezed tightly, making it difficult to breathe. He felt a sharp, throbbing pain and couldn't help but murmur, "Shen Jin..."

Meanwhile, Shen Jin, whom he kept mentioning, was completely unaware of the situation. He was currently lying leisurely in the hospital, eating, drinking, and having fun, laughing and joking. He remembered nothing, which made him much happier.

Bai Yujin bought him a lot of food, as well as a big bag of various snacks and fruits, and put it on the table next to his hospital bed. He could eat as much as he wanted, and if he wanted more, he could tell him and Bai Yujin would help him buy more.

Shen Jin felt incredibly happy and content, like a big baby.

He held a washed apple in his hand, took a big bite, felt the sweet juice spread in his mouth, and grinned foolishly, not forgetting to praise, "So sweet! Delicious!"

Bai Yujin sat to the side, smiling as she watched him, and casually asked, "Do you like sweets?"

Shen Jin took another bite of the apple and chewed it. After swallowing the apple in his mouth, he said with a grin, "I really like eating it, but Mommy said it will cause cavities, so I'm afraid... so I have to control my mouth."

"So how are you eating now?" Bai Yujin couldn't help but tease him, thinking that although he was like a child, he was quite cute and it was fun to tease him.

"Um..." His question made Shen Jinyu pause for a moment, blinking innocently, and then she said as if she suddenly realized, "It's probably because Mom and Dad aren't around!"

Bai Yujin was speechless and could only smile: "Then take advantage of this time and eat more. Eat whatever you like."

He had consulted the doctor not long ago and planned to change Chen Jin's environment so that he would no longer stay in the hospital. The doctor also said that there was no problem, since he was awake and there was no need for him to stay in the hospital.

Therefore, Bai Yujin completed the discharge procedures, intending to let him stay in the hospital for one more day, and then take him away tomorrow to a quiet place suitable for him so that he could slowly recuperate.

After all, given his current condition, he won't be able to live on his own until he recovers; he'll have to rely on others for support. And his sister is already ill, so naturally she can't take care of him. As for Yan Yu, Bai Yujin didn't even hesitate before blacklisting him.

Bai Yujin didn't tell Yan Yu that he had already completed the discharge procedures for Shen Jin and was going to take him away. He was just waiting to see if Shen Jin would come over on his own tomorrow. If he didn't, then so be it.

While Bai Yujin was lost in thought, Shen Jin, who was eating non-stop next to him, gave him a thumbs up and praised him generously, "You're such a good person! I didn't have much to give you, but you still gave me so much good food!"

Bai Yujin could only smile helplessly.

On the other hand, after leaving Yan Yu's villa, Xie Li used his own methods to contact other people who were paid to risk their lives, asking them to inquire about Shen Jin's situation. If he was still conscious, then they should find a way to shut him up.

As long as no one is killed, any method is acceptable, as long as it works and makes Shen Jin afraid of him, dare not act rashly, and dare not talk nonsense to Yan Yu.

The person he hired said somewhat uneasily, "Isn't this a bit risky? If things go wrong, we could break the law! Are you sure the other person doesn't have any special background or connections?"

Xie Li did not meet the other party in person; all conversations were conducted via mobile phone. He sneered disdainfully, "The other party is just an orphan with no parents, living in the slums at the far end of the east side. What kind of background do you think he could have?"

Xie Li sneered disdainfully, "You've done plenty of despicable things, one more won't make a difference. Besides, I didn't really ask you to do anything, it's just in case. And he has a younger sister who's quite important to him. You should take advantage of her, don't be too stupid."

After giving repeated instructions, Xie Li finally hung up the phone with satisfaction. Although he didn't have the guts to order someone to directly harm his life, he was more than capable of doing something behind the scenes.

Only then was he somewhat satisfied. He then put on his usual calm demeanor and planned to return to the villa. Coincidentally, he passed by a Western-style pastry shop that Yan Yu liked, so he smiled and went in to buy him some.

"Wait..." Xie Li stared at the pastry in his hand, feeling that he shouldn't go back like this. He had to do something, otherwise his relationship with Yan Yu would not make any progress, and it would only give Shen Jin an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

So he went into an adult store, bought some pills, and came out with a determined look in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, deciding to try it out that night.

In the evening, Xie Li had his servants prepare dishes to accompany the wine.

When Yan Yu came out of the bathroom drying his hair, he walked up to him with a smile and very intimately helped Yan Yu dry his hair with a towel, saying with a smile, "Let's go eat together. I met up with a college classmate today, and he gave me some good wine. Let's try it together."

Yan Yu was in a bad mood today, with too many unresolved questions in his mind, and he wasn't in the mood for drinking. Just as he was about to refuse, Xie Li smiled and said, "Let's celebrate. I'm being discharged from the hospital today, and Shen Jin has woken up. Isn't that great?"

After hearing this, Yan Yu didn't know how to refuse. After casually drying his hair, he simply followed him downstairs and asked casually, "What kind of wine is it?"

"It's quite old, and the alcohol content is pretty high," Xie Li said simply, not wanting to say anything more. After all, the focus wasn't on the alcohol, and he couldn't find anything to ramble about.

Xie Li had dismissed all the servants, leaving only the two of them. The moonlight outside the window was like water, but the room was unusually quiet, subtly creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Once at the dinner table, Xie Li smiled and pulled out a chair for Yan Yu, sitting down next to him. He then took a wine glass and poured wine for both of them, saying with a smile, "I haven't drunk any wine in a long time, so I don't know how much I can hold my liquor anymore."

Knowing his health condition, Yan Yu reminded him, "You're not feeling well, so drink less."

"I know, don't worry. I'm in a good mood today, let's have a drink." Xie Li smiled, raised his glass, and extended it to Yan Yu, wanting to clink glasses with him. "Ah Yu, I'll toast you."

Yan Yu also picked up his wine glass, clinked it with his, and then drank it all in one gulp. The strong liquor burned his throat, but also had a pleasant aroma, which made him smile and praise, "Good wine."

Seeing him finish his drink, Xie Li narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, finished his own glass, stuck out his tongue with a smile, and said jokingly, "That's right, my old classmate said this is his treasured wine, and he wouldn't have given it up if it weren't for me."

Yan Yu just smiled, didn't respond, and poured himself another glass to drink. He quite liked this wine, especially when he was in a bad mood and his mind was full of Chen Jin; drinking seemed to help him stop thinking about those things.

Xie Li didn't bother to care what he was thinking at the moment, and just poured him wine, saying with a smile, "Speaking of which, now that Shen Jin has woken up, won't he be able to be discharged from the hospital soon?"

The person Xie Li sent to investigate had replied to him, informing him that Shen Jin was currently in a state of mental dementia, unable to distinguish anything or remember anything, which relieved Xie Li.

At the same time, I was a little worried that he might be faking it, that he might be doing it to get back at me, or that he might have some other ulterior motive. So the plan remained unchanged. It's better to be safe than sorry.

"Now that you're awake, there shouldn't be any major problems." Yan Yu took a sip of his drink, a smile gradually appearing in his eyes. "We'll see tomorrow."

An image of Chen Jin, full of vitality and spirit, smiling gently at him, involuntarily surfaced in his mind...

This made him somewhat look forward to the hospital. His restless heart seemed to be eager to see that person. Just thinking about it made his heart beat faster and faster, and he became increasingly strange.

He couldn't figure out what was going on either, so he could only smile wryly.

However, they failed to notice the intense jealousy in Xie Li's eyes.

Gradually, as he drank more, he began to lose his senses. Yan Yu felt his head getting heavier, the scenery before him swayed, and even Xie Li, who was smiling in front of him, seemed to be turning upside down.

Xie Li seemed a little confused, and gently waved her hand in front of him, asking with some concern, "Ayu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Yan Yu shook his head, trying to clear his head, and said with difficulty, "I drank too much, and I have a bit of a headache."

"I see," Xie Li frowned slightly, seemingly troubled. She put down her wine glass, kindly helped him up, and said gently, "Then let's not drink anymore. I'll help you to rest."

He helped Yan Yu back to his room step by step, his smile deepening, revealing an almost uncontrollable joy and excitement. He thought to himself: A-Yu, let's have sex tonight...

Although he is not a woman, and even if they have sex, she won't get pregnant or anything, it can still help their relationship take a step forward and stop them from stagnating.

He helped Yan Yu into the room, gently closing the door behind him. His hand, which had been resting on Yan Yu's waist, lingered there, and he called out in an ambiguous and alluring tone, "Ah Yu..."

Yan Yu narrowed his eyes, his throat bobbed, and his consciousness began to become confused. He could hardly tell what was going on. He only felt a little uncomfortable. When he came to his senses, he had already pushed Xie Li down onto his bed and pressed himself on top of her.

"You, you..." Xie Li pushed him away, feigning surprise even though everything was within his plan. "What are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Yan Yu smiled dreamily, a faint blush on his handsome face from the alcohol. He slowly lowered his head and nuzzled Xie Li's neck, his warm breath brushing against it, his voice hoarse, "Chen Jin, I want you..."
