Chapter 28

Su He's feet were already able to walk freely, and he received a phone call just after he was discharged from the hospital.

It was an unfamiliar number, and Su He immediately became alert.

Ever since he changed his cell phone, Lin Jing would call him with different numbers to harass him, so Su He developed the habit of not answering unfamiliar calls.

He simply pressed the button.

The next second, the ringtone continued to ring. Su He hung up again, hesitating whether to block the number, but a text message popped up.

Just three simple words -

"Answer the phone"

Not many people could speak to him in this tone. When the phone rang for the third time, Su He thought for a moment and finally answered it. The voice on the other end was indifferent: "Hang up on me?"

It was indeed Sheng Jinyu.

"It's you. I thought it was a harassing call." Su He smiled. It was no wonder that he didn't recognize him. After all, this was the first time Sheng Jinyu contacted him using a private number.

Sheng Jinyu didn't dwell on it any further and said, "In two hours, we'll be leaving from Qingshui Port."

"Is it so urgent? Have you packed your luggage? I might be too late if I go back now."

"I said I'd take you. Do you really want to go?"

"Ah?" Su He was stunned. He felt that Sheng Jin was very confused. Why did he tell him if he was not going to take him with him?

Without waiting for him to react, Sheng Jinyu said, "Sister Ling has already packed up, just come over here."

Good weather is rare in Guangzhou. The Raphael sailed out from Qingshui Port and left the port on time at dusk. The fading red sunset wove an orange-red net on the sea.

The Raphael is quite large and can accommodate nearly 500 people. Some of the guests were invited by the socialite Yan Yichen from his circle of friends, and the rest were invited guests of the jewelry exhibition.

A small red wine exhibition was being held on the open-air deck, and the aroma of wine was in the air. Sheng Jin had just been called away to discuss something, so Su He walked around the exhibition for a few times to kill time.

The staff who were giving him the tasting notes were very enthusiastic and stuffed many different types of wine into his hands. The thumb-sized plastic cup was only enough for him to take a sip, but he was afraid of wasting it, so he drank all the wine in his hand.

But what happened after he got drunk last time was still vivid in his mind, and Su He didn't dare to accept anything new.

"Su He!? You didn't even tell me you were here!"

Someone patted his back hard, then put his whole arm around him. Su He staggered forward and turned around to see that it was a man with dyed blue hair and a lip piercing.

He seemed to have some impression of this outfit, but Su He couldn't remember which friend of the original owner he was.

Perhaps the confusion and strangeness in his eyes were too obvious, so obvious that even the blue-haired man could see it.

He lifted his bangs and faced Su He, his face hurt: "I, Chen Zhaoyuan! You can't believe it! I've only been in Mumbai for three months, and you don't recognize me?"

The other person's skin did have the color of being tanned in a low-latitude area, and it was one degree darker than wheat. Su He calmly said, "How did you get so tanned?"

"I've been sunburned for three whole months! Now the only thing that's still white is my pussy!" Chen Zhaoyuan screamed exaggeratedly, "And I haven't had sex once in these three months! I miss you so much!"

Su He was shocked. Could this be referring to a fleeting romance of the original owner?

Chen Zhaoyuan held his neck tightly, not letting go, and said angrily, "Not only did you not prepare a welcoming banquet for me, but you also didn't answer my calls or reply to my WeChat messages. And you thought about me and saved up so many big, strong men for you, hoping to have sex with them!"

He took out his cell phone and opened the photo album, and a row of naked foreigners popped out. Su He's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly held down his cell phone, fearing that others would see them.

What he said was hot to the ears, and those photos were hot to the eyes. Although it was the original owner and not him, Su He's cheeks still blushed.

He said with despair: "What are you talking about? I don't need it!"

"After not seeing you for a few months, why are you acting reserved? Is this a new persona? I understand~"

Lanmao had an "I understand you" expression on his face and a not-so-serious smile.

Su He was unable to explain and could only swallow his loss, saying weakly, "I didn't."

"Okay, I forgive you for now. There will be a performance in the Red Hall of the top cabin tonight. I have specially prepared a surprise for you. Don't say that I don't miss you!" Chen Zhaoyuan said excitedly.

He had been abroad for three months and had not heard of Su He severing ties with the Su family. This showed that the original owner and he usually indulged in drinking and eating.

"Need not……"

Su He was halfway through his words when Chen Zhaoyuan suddenly said, "Why the hell is it him? Was he standing there just now?"

"?" Su He followed his gaze.

Sheng Jinyu stood two meters away, staring at him with a gloomy expression. After noticing his gaze, he walked over and said, "Sorry, did I disturb you?"

Chen Zhaoyuan obviously didn't expect him to come, and his face was a little nervous. He let go of Su He and stood up straight, his polite words quite awkwardly: "No, no, Young Master Sheng's presence is also a great honor for our jewelry exhibition, hahahaha."

"Since you have an appointment, I will give you a day off tonight." Sheng Jinyu had a friendly smile on his face. His facial features were a bit cold, but when he smiled, he looked like ice and rain, which was very intimidating. People who were not familiar with him would definitely be attracted by his smile.

But Su He was not fooled at all. When did Sheng Jin become so considerate and treat people with a smile?

It could only be that he wanted to achieve some purpose and was using him as a tool!

Sure enough, Chen Zhaoyuan's eyes wandered a few times, and he could see that Su He and Sheng Jin had a close relationship. It was reasonable for him to invite them as well, so he smiled and said a few polite words, asking Sheng Jin if he wanted to go together in the evening.

Of course, Sheng Jinyu could see that Chen Zhaoyuan was just being polite, but this was exactly what he wanted. Chen Zhaoyuan's evasion and guilty conscience were obvious. He must have known what happened to Sheng Zhilin and was afraid that he would be held accountable by him.

Su He didn't want to go in the first place, and based on his understanding of Sheng Jinyu, he would definitely not agree.

"Okay, thanks to A He, I'll bother you." Sheng Jinyu agreed happily.

Su He raised his head, frowning, and glanced at Sheng Jinyu with a bit of resentment, thinking, As expected! Chen Zhaoyuan obviously didn't expect him to agree. He smiled awkwardly twice and cursed himself for asking for trouble.

As their eyes met, Chen Zhaoyuan found an excuse to slip away, leaving only the two of them.

Sheng Jinyu took the initiative, narrowing her eyes and looking at him, her voice sounding a bit gritted, "So Assistant Su likes that kind of style?"

"What style?" Su He didn't react for a moment.

Sheng Jin raised the last part of his tone and looked at him teasingly: "Strong man?"

"I didn't..." Su He was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head. He lowered his head and denied it, which made him look guilty.

Sheng Jinyu raised the corner of his mouth with a forced smile. He wanted to see how strong the love was.

By evening, the nightlife on the cruise ship has just begun.

Su He changed into formal clothes, and the vest showed off his slender waist. Only an hour had passed since the wine exhibition, but he felt a little dizzy. The amount he tasted was not large, but it was still strong liquor when mixed together. He was drunk and even his steps were a little unsteady.

Following Sheng Jinyu, who was dressed in a suit, out of the elevator door, there were three of them. Yan Yichen heard that there was a good show to watch, so he came to join in the fun and walked in first.

Su He fell behind last. He caught up with Sheng Jinyu in a few steps and asked quietly, "Is it because you have something to discuss with Mr. Chen that you are using me as an excuse?"

"Not too stupid." Sheng Jinyu said without turning his head.

"So is this cooperation or exploitation?" Su He tilted his head and looked at him, as if the answer was very important to him.

Sheng Jinyu seemed to be surprised by his question. He paused, turned sideways to look at him, and said cryptically, "The results are the same. Is there a difference?"

"There is a difference. If it's for exploitation, I won't go." Su He also stopped and looked at him stubbornly.

Sheng Jin sneered. Who was the first to make an appointment with his friends?

He said with a stern face, "Assistant Su, that's strange. Your friend and your appointment, you make it sound like I'm forcing you to go?"

Su He inexplicably felt that Sheng Jinyu was blaming him, as if he was blaming him for not having this appointment!

Moreover, on the way here just now, he kept having this expression as if others owed him eight million. I really don’t understand why he came here if he didn’t like it!

Su He did not argue with him, but kept his eyes down and said nothing.

When they stopped, the three of them were separated by a large distance. Yan Yichen found himself a lone wolf. He tutted twice and reluctantly walked back: "Hey, you two, are you kids? How can you fall behind when three of you are walking?"

Sheng Jin was in a stalemate with the cold-faced man for a while, but for some reason he was defeated by the pouting and silent man. He said stiffly, "I didn't mean to use you. You helped me."

Yan Yichen couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he explained, "Your friend is always elusive and is avoiding him. Now's a good chance for you to meet him and talk about some serious business."

Everyone is not unreasonable. Su He nodded to indicate that he was not that stingy and could help.

Yan Yichen poked Sheng Jinyu's shoulder and asked him softly, "What are you so angry about? Can't you just talk to him nicely?"

Sheng Jinyu also felt a breath of relief, he remained silent and walked forward with his head down.

After verifying identities at the entrance of the Red Hall, masks were prepared for each entrant. Su He took a low-key silver mask and put it on. He turned around as usual to help Sheng Jinyu, but found that the other party had already put it on.

He raised his hand and retracted it, adjusting the mask on his face. Sheng Jinyu noticed his movement, paused for a moment, and turned sideways: "It's too loose, help me."

An awkward atmosphere lingered between the two of them. Su He pursed his lips and said nothing. He stood on tiptoe to remove the mask strap at the back of his head, tied it again, and then tidied his hair ends a few times.

Although the atmosphere was not right, their habit and tacit understanding allowed them to complete the movements naturally.

Entering the Red Hall, the interior environment is dim, the whole space is in black and gold tones, the lighting is also ambiguous, and the atmosphere is unexpectedly quiet. At first glance, it does not look like a serious place.

But as he followed Sheng Jin in, Su He caught a glimpse of a man in a suit and tie without a mask, passing in front of them with a chain in his hand, from the space hidden by his shoulders.

Because the light was too dim, I couldn't see what huge pet was connected to the end of the chain.

He thought this was some kind of pet-friendly place, where even large dogs were allowed, until they walked away to where there were lights.

The thing at the end of the chain is not a pet, it's a person.

Chen Zhaoyuan emerged from a side corridor. He was still somewhat cautious of Sheng Jinyu. After a few pleasantries, he quickly put his arm around Su He's shoulder and walked towards the booth, muttering quietly, "Why are you hanging out with him now?"

Everyone sat down, Sheng Jin and Yan Yichen sat on the sofas opposite each other, separated by a half-height screen.

Su He pressed his dizzy head. He was not used to being so close to others, but he could see that the original owner had a good relationship with Chen Zhaoyuan and they must have a lot of fun together. In order to prevent himself from being out of place, he did not push her away.

"I'm his assistant now," he explained.

He caught a glimpse of a cold gaze from the opposite side of his eyes. Su He raised his head and found that Sheng Jinyu was staring at him without blinking.

"You gave up your job as the eldest young master and went to work as an assistant?" Chen Zhaoyuan looked at him in shock. "You're not working in your father's company anymore?"

“…He’s gone.”

Su He felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Usually, Sheng Jinyu didn't bother to pay attention to him, so why was he staring at him now?

Chen Zhaoyuan didn't know that Su He had left the Su family. Just as he was about to ask, the lights in the stage suddenly turned off and an exciting show began on the stage.

The naked man was kneeling on the ground, in front of him stood a man in black clothes, holding a thin whip in his hand. His face was dark and cold, and what he did was extremely outrageous. Su He was shocked and realized in an instant what kind of performance this was.

Chen Zhaoyuan patted his shoulder excitedly, pointed at the stage and said, "Look! This is the trainer I asked someone to invite from abroad for you. He's highly professional and good at his job. How about this surprise? Brother, how about me treating you!"

"For...for me?" Su He looked at him in disbelief.

Chen Zhaoyuan looked touched by his own feelings and reassured him, "I know you have high standards, but I'm not asking you to decide now. Wait until you see the performance first to decide whether you're interested or not!"

"No need!" Su He really didn't expect that the original owner actually had this tendency. He didn't have the hobby of letting others beat him up!

But he was afraid that Chen Zhaoyuan would become suspicious, so he had to refuse in a roundabout way: "I haven't been in the mood for this lately. I'm really sorry."

"Damn! When did you learn to play hard to get? Why are you not interested? Is it because of your pretty boy boyfriend? Does he care about you?" Chen Zhaoyuan seemed to be worried about Su He's lifelong affairs.

"It has nothing to do with Lin Jing. We have broken up. It's my problem." Su He replied.

Chen Zhaoyuan paused, his eyes moved down to Su He's lower body, and he leaned over and whispered, "Are you weak?"

“…”

The air fell into deathly silence.
