Chapter 70 First Date (I) Say it again?! What can...

Yu Xiang felt that his mouth was numb from being kissed, and he doubted whether it was swollen - Jiang Ci was not gentle at all when he kissed him, he kissed and nibbled him.

"You..." Yu Xiang hesitated for a long moment, wanting to say something. Finally, he decided not to bother with the drunkard. He looked Jiang Ci in the eye and asked with a heavy tone, "Can we go home now?"

Jiang Ci remained unmoved: "Just charge it for a while and I'll be back."

Yu Xiang's forehead was full of questions. "What are you charging for? You're not a robot... And how long is this 'a while'?"

Ten minutes later.

Yu Xiang had to persuade the naughty Jiang Ci to come to his doorstep. The journey that originally took two minutes was stretched several times longer, and he was more tired than before.

"Huh, we're finally here." Yu Xiang was so busy that sweat broke out on his forehead. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let this unlucky thing touch alcohol again no matter what.

It's even harder to serve than our ancestors.

"Stand still and don't sway." Yu Xiang finally caught his breath and turned to warn Jiang Ci. Then he looked out the window and said, "There's no light on. Are Aunt Fang and the others asleep?"

"I have the key in my pocket." Jiang Ci said lazily.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Which pocket?"

"Left?" Jiang Ci seemed to think seriously about it, then gave an answer but then became unsure, "Or right?"

Yu Xiang was furious, wondering why this guy's IQ dropped after drinking. "Nonsense, it's either the left or the right, so why is it in the middle?"

Jiang Ci: "Is it possible——"

Yu Xiang interrupted him with a green face: "Shut up, you're not Doraemon."

At this moment, he had already deeply realized that this man was just talking nonsense seriously, so he simply gave up counting on him and started to flip over.

However, he searched all of Jiang Ci's pockets, even the two back pockets of his pants, but couldn't find anything that looked like a key: "No, except for the phone, everything is empty... Could it have fallen on the road or in the car?"

Yu Xiang muttered to himself and raised his head, only to find Jiang Ci looking at him with a slight smile on his lips: "..." Is this an illusion? Why does he have such an ominous premonition?

Then he heard Jiang Ci say thoughtfully, "I just remembered that I didn't seem to bring my keys with me."

Yu Xiang: “…” The password.

Want to beat someone up.

He was about to hold back his last breath, forcing himself to look away from that hateful face and focus on the door lock: "I should call Aunt Fang to open it... Damn, your door lock is a fingerprint lock!"

The fingerprint lock was recently replaced, and he didn't think of it just now. In addition, he didn't drink so much wine just now for nothing, which somewhat affected his thinking speed. Subconsciously, he thought he was going to use the key to open the door.

"Jiang, Ci." Yu Xiang looked at Jiang Ci sinisterly, "I'm really going to beat you up!"

So less than an hour after confirming the relationship, Jiang Ci was beaten up by her boyfriend.

The next day.

Jiang Ci slept until noon, which was a rare occasion. However, he still had a slight headache because he drank too much last night.

But this discomfort was nothing to him, so he rubbed his temples with one hand, supported himself with the other hand to sit up, and immediately looked at the person next to him.

Although he admitted that some of his actions last night were intentional, one thing was true - he was very sleepy after drinking.

Yu Xiang sent him to the room at that time. Despite being very sleepy, he insisted on taking a shower before going to bed. Yu Xiang was afraid that he would fall asleep in the bathroom halfway through the shower, so he had to stay in the room and wait for him to finish.

The result was that Yu Xiang and the others felt sleepy and too lazy to move. After wavering, they decided to stay overnight. After all, they had slept together several times before, so they didn't think too much about it. They sent a message to Chen Xiaomei to tell her about it and then went to take a shower.

But since Yu Xiang didn't have any clean clothes this time, he was now wearing Jiang Ci's pajamas that were obviously one size too big. He sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, his arms folded over his chest, and his eyes met Jiang Ci's, revealing his beautiful collarbone.

This was too difficult to ignore, so Jiang Ci's gaze naturally slid there.

"You're finally awake! It's so rare to catch you sleeping in... Hey, where are you looking?" Yu Xiang said mid-sentence when he noticed something was wrong. He glanced down, following Jiang Ci's gaze. Reflexively, he pulled his collar up, his ears tinged with a suspicious crimson. "I didn't mean to do that. Your clothes are too big."

Jiang Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But I didn't seem to say you did it on purpose?"

Yu Xiang: “…” Yes.

If you get anxious, it will seem like you are trying to hide something.

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat awkwardly and solemnly changed the subject. He clenched his fist and pretended it was a microphone, putting it to Jiang Ci's mouth: "Interview, what are your thoughts on getting drunk for the first time? Do you want to express them?"

Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded cooperatively: "Yes. Yes."

Yu Xiang was indeed interested when he heard it, and asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Ci: "When you hit someone, it still hurts just as much as before."

Yu Xiang: “…”

"You deserve it." Yu Xiang's face turned green and he held it in for a long time before sighing, "Who told you to be so naughty after drinking? I've been retired from the martial arts world for so many years, but you still forced me to take action."

Jiang Ci smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's my pleasure."

A question mark slowly appeared above Yu Xiang's head, as if he couldn't believe what he heard: "...What did you say?" Could it be that this guy is actually a masochist at heart?

Otherwise, how could anyone laugh after being beaten?

"Don't worry, I'm not a masochist." Jiang Ci guessed what Yu Xiang was thinking and added, "I just think your angry face is so cute. It's worth getting beaten up."

Yu Xiang: “???” What?

Say it again?! What cute?!

He was just about to have a good argument with Jiang Ci about this issue when his cell phone suddenly rang.

They both looked towards the source of the sound and found that someone was calling Jiang Ci.

"Hello? Coach." Jiang Ci answered the phone and put the phone to his ear to communicate with the person on the other end.

"Um. Sorry. Overslept."

"Sorry, it's my problem. Let's find another time."

"Okay, bye."

Yu Xiang waited quietly for Jiang Ci to hang up before asking, "Did your coach call you?"

"Yes. I go to the training ground to practice driving at 5 o'clock every morning." Jiang Ci replied.

Yu Xiang silently turned his head and glanced at the wall clock. The hour hand was already pointing to the number 11: "...So, you stood him up?"

"Um."

"Then why didn't he call earlier? I could have heard it and woke you up." Yu Xiang asked curiously.

He was just wondering when Jiang Ci suddenly asked something completely off topic: "What time did you wake up?"

Yu Xiang concentrated on recalling: "It seems to be around nine in the morning?"

"He called three times around five o'clock." Jiang Ci's thumb casually swiped across the phone screen. "Your sleep quality is so good that five alarm clocks can't wake you up."

Yu Xiang's mouth twitched: "Hmm..."

The implication of Jiang Ci's words was simply: Five alarm clocks couldn't wake you up, let alone three phone calls?

"So did your coach scold you?"

"He gave me a good scolding."

Yu Xiang narrowed his eyes when he heard that, and the words "I don't believe it" were almost written on his face.

"Okay, no." Seeing that he wasn't fooled, Jiang Ci had to admit it honestly, "Maybe I'm the best among the students in the same batch, so he is more tolerant of me."

This might sound pretentious coming from someone else, but coming from Jiang Ci, it was perfectly normal: "How come you always manage to be number one in everything you do?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm just lucky. But compared to this..." Jiang Ci said as he suddenly moved closer, and stopped less than three centimeters away from Yu Xiang, looking up at him.

"What do you want to do? No!" The aftermath of last night's memories was still vivid in his mind. To prevent Chen Xiaomei from noticing anything when he got home, he quickly reached out and covered Jiang Ci's mouth with his hand, "Be restrained!"

"Okay." Jiang Ci didn't insist, and kissed Yu Xiang's palm as a second choice, "I'll go wash up."

It was almost lunchtime, and Yu Xiang had to go home first, so he said goodbye to Jiang Ci while he was washing up and went downstairs first.

"Oh no! Will he misunderstand that I dislike him or something?" Yu Xiang was still struggling with this question halfway through the journey. "Did I overreact just now?"

Today is their first day together. If things are so awkward on the first day, what will happen next?

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time." Yu Xiang shook his head and opened the door of his house.

"Really? It's so unlucky! I..." As soon as he entered the door, he heard a woman's cursing voice and the sounds of children playing. He recognized the voice, it came from his aunt.

Yu Xiang changed his shoes and walked in. Sure enough, he saw his aunt in the living room, along with her 8-year-old son, who was screaming and jumping up and down. Although he felt a little annoyed by their arrival, he still called out politely, "Hello, Auntie."

"Ah, Yu Xiang is back? I heard from your mom that you live next door. Why don't you live next door when you already have a home? That's not good."

Yu Xiang pretended not to hear anything and went straight to the kitchen, where Ms. Chen Xiaomei was busy. He lowered his voice and asked, "What is she yelling about? Did she eat explosives?"

"She was caught by traffic police this morning for riding an electric scooter without a helmet and fined 500 yuan." Chen Xiaomei skillfully stirred the food in the pot with a spatula. "Why did you end up sleeping at Xiaoci's place last night?"

"Well... we talked about our high school days yesterday, and it got so late that we just stayed there and slept." Yu Xiang lied guiltily. "By the way, why did I get such a high fine for not wearing a helmet? Shouldn't it be 50?"

"Because he was caught driving without a license again, his car wasn't confiscated." Chen Xiaomei sighed, "It just happened to be close to our house, so I brought Zihao here."

Yu Xiang: “…Okay.”

"Let's not talk about this for now. Get the dishes out first."

"good."

Yu Xiang followed his instructions and brought the dishes and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet to the dining room. Suddenly, he remembered that he had not changed his clothes yet, so he rushed upstairs to change his clothes before coming down.

As a result, he was immediately pestered by "Zihao": "Brother, play with me!"

Eight years old is just the age that even dogs dislike, let alone Yu Xiang.

"Yu Xiang, please take him with you so that he doesn't have to ask me for my phone all the time." Yu Xiang's aunt said to him.

Yu Xiang: “…” But I don’t want to take this kid with me at all.
