Chapter 123 Extra 6
When Chen Youhan said he was going to bring Ye Kai over, Qiao Chu thought for a moment that he had misheard and began to panic again. He asked directly what he was thinking, "Do you want me to close the place early?"
Chen Youhan laughed: "No need, bring him here to play."
Qiao Chu hissed, "I don't believe it."
What is Huangtian? All the most wild people in Ning City gather here. When the lights are turned on and the sound waves are played, it is a place of chaos and chaos. According to Chen Youhan, the young master of the Ye family is a child as clear as jade and as clean as diamond. How could he be willing to bring him here?
Chen Youhan heard the noise and looked back. It was Ye Kai who had just woken up from his nap. He was wearing a loose lapel pajamas, revealing half of his delicate collarbone, and looked lazy in the afternoon light.
After taking a sip of the Perrier in his hand, he threw it on the carpet. Ye Kai got into Chen Youhan's arms, raised his face, and asked for a kiss. Chen Youhan touched the corner of his lips lightly, covered the microphone and said, "Be good, go get dressed, and I'll take you to Qiao Chu's place tonight."
He came back to his senses and said to Qiao Chu slowly, "It doesn't matter whether you play or not, the main thing is that there is still a bottle of Macallan."
The tone sounded like that of a jerk. Ye Kai hugged his waist, smiled when he heard it, raised his head and made lip shape and said, "You are so bad."
Qiao Chu was stunned, and turned to ask Kiki: "Mr. Chen stored Macallan here?"
He has been busy going to the countryside in the past two years and has not been here for a while. The wine should have been gone long ago.
Chen Youhan heard his furtive question on the other end of the phone and laughed, saying in a slow and dandy tone, "1972, 360,000. Boss Qiao has a good memory."
Qiao Chu: “…”
Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t make friends with this kind of shit!
Ye Kai let go of his hand, opened the closet, picked out a Chanel white T-shirt and put it on. He had never been to such an occasion before, so he felt a little nervous: "Is it okay to wear a T-shirt?"
Chen Youhan looked at him and said, "No."
Ye Kai was confused: "Why? You always wear formal clothes when you go to gay bars?"
Chen Youhan tapped him on the head: "Too beautiful, change into another one."
Ye Kai was speechless, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Chen Youhan helped him tidy up his hair that was messed up by his collar: "Still smiling."
"Is there anyone more handsome than you?" He hugged Chen Youhan and asked himself, "Of course there is. I want to take a good look."
Chen Youhan regretted it instantly, kissed him on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "I will call Qiao Chu right now and tell him that no handsome guy is allowed in tonight."
Ye Kai held onto the cabinet door and laughed so hard that he was shaking. He failed to run away and was caught by Chen Youhan, who held him in his arms and teased him. The floor-length mirror showed his breathless appearance, and the sun was embarrassed by the broad daylight.
At night, as expected of a Tsinghua student, he even called Qu Jia to report, "Mom, I'm going to the bar tonight."
Qu Jia was very pleased, thinking that his son was still a good boy even though he was married and was already a sophomore. But before he could finish his breath, he heard Ye Kai say, "He's gay, right? Qiao Yichu, do you remember? His father opened the business."
Qu Jia: "Let Chen Youhan answer the phone."
Chen Youhan: “…”
After all, she is my mother-in-law, not someone like Mr. Qu, the chairman of the school board, who can be easily fooled and bullied. Chen Youhan took the phone obediently: "Yeah, yeah, okay,... How is it possible! No way,..." With his patience running out, he could only smile helplessly, "...Okay, fine, don't worry."
Ye Kai thought he was cute when he was frustrated, so he leaned over and kissed him on the cheek: "Brother Youhan, Mom actually likes you too."
Chen Youhan felt that Qu Jia's love for him would shorten his life: "Please spare me!"
After ten o'clock, Luozhou woke up from his daytime sleep, and the wind blowing by the river was filled with the aroma of wine. The Aston Martin stopped at the door, and Chen Youhan threw the key to the parking doorman. The waiter in a black suit and headset opened the door for the two of them. The sound waves surged out, making people's hearts and eardrums beat together.
As soon as Ye Kai entered the room, he was dizzy by the dazzling lights.
This was his first time in such a noisy bar. When he was in college, he drank in livehouses or American bars. He was new here, and his eyes, which were used to big scenes, were also confused. The huge space of over 1,000 square meters was cut into a psychedelic space by the lights. The crowd was crowded, and the waiters in uniforms and bow ties were holding trays and moving freely as if they were in an empty space. The accent seemed to hit the heart. In the dance floor in the middle, the dark crowd shook their heads to the DJ's music. If I must say the difference from ordinary disco, it is probably that there is no woman here.
But there are people wearing women's clothes.
Some wore long wigs, some wore lace bras over T-shirts, some wore tight boots, and some wore lipstick, heavy makeup, and eye shadow. Ye Kai didn't even know where to put his eyes for a moment, so he followed Chen Youhan's hand obediently, staring at his back.
The bar was at the back, and one had to walk through the private tables and the dance floor to get there. Chen Youhan held his hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would get lost along the way.
He didn't want to bring Ye Kai to Huangtian to play, but wanted him to meet Qiao Chu.
When he looked back, the blue-purple light was like a dream, and the dimly lit places became ghosts and monsters. All the winding paths were just to highlight Ye Kai. He forgot the words that were on his lips. He took Ye Kai into his arms, held his shoulders and asked, "Are you used to it?"
Ye Kai nodded, and Chen Youhan noticed that his gaze and attention drifted away. Looking over there, he saw a foreigner whistling at Ye Kai in a frivolous manner.
Chen Youhan: “…”
Before he could see the details under the light, Ye Kai felt a black screen before his eyes, and then he was hooked and fell into his arms - "Brother Youhan?"
A big hand covered his eyes, blocking all vision. Chen Youhan hugged him, and his voice and warm breath fell into his ears: "Don't look around."
Qiao Chu watched this scene from a distance behind the counter, smiled and shook his head, the corner of his mouth holding the cigarette raised jokingly: "No future."
When the people really arrived at the bar, he couldn't say anything teasing when he saw Ye Kai's appearance. The Ye family was the most low-key wealthy family in Ning City. They were engaged in education and charity and opened a bank. The only difference was that they had the word "stable" printed on their foreheads. In the past, Chen Youhan described him as noble and beautiful, but Qiao Chu only thought that he was a lover's eyes and the filter of the old house was covered with smoke. But he didn't expect that every word he said was not exaggerated.
Ye Kai only wore a simple T-shirt, with no other decorations except for a watch and a ring. Because of his nobleness, his aura had a layer of just the right distance, but it didn't make people feel arrogant. He was much younger than Chen Youhan, so he could have the attitude of a well-protected canary, but he didn't. Instead, his temperament had accumulated a cold and deep feeling.
Qiao Chu has met countless people, and the number of people he meets in a day is more than the number of grains of rice he eats that day. He has only one thought in his mind: I have never seen a boy who looks so good in Chanel.
"Qiao Chu, Qiao Yichu's father." Chen Youhan introduced him and said, "Ye Kai."
Ye Kai stretched out his right hand. The ring finger was covered with a diamond ring, which was classical and elegant. "Hello, Uncle Qiao."
Qiao Chu shook hands with him and took out the cigarette from the corner of his mouth: "I am only a few years older than this Chen, how come he is the elder brother and I am the uncle?"
Chen Youhan glanced at him and said, "Want to hear Brother Qiao?" He tapped the table with his fingertips and passed the message to Kiki, "Call me, one thousand for one call."
Kiki just called out and Qiao Chu couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, okay, he is the boss and I am the boss?"
Kiki whispered, "Whoever pays is the boss." Just as she finished speaking, she heard a laugh and looked up to see that it was Ye Kai. He was sitting on a high bar stool, holding his chin with one hand, lazily watching Qiao Chu and Chen Youhan play witty words.
"What would you like to drink, Mr. Ye?" Kiki greeted him, "Would you like something special?" He had been sent abroad for further studies at public expense by Qiao Chu in recent years, and he was already Huangtian's gold medal bartender. Many people came to him because of his reputation.
Before Ye Kai could say anything, Chen Youhan held his hand and said, "Boss Qiao, is the Macallan ready?"
Qiao Chu laughed angrily, waved at Kiki, and then handed over an access card: "Go and get that bottle of wine from Young Master Chen." He turned to Chen Youhan, put one hand on his waist and gritted his teeth helplessly: "You are a rich second-generation with a net worth of hundreds of billions, but you are just thinking about my wine worth three hundred thousand or so. What kind of achievement is that?"
Chen Youhan lowered his head and lit a cigarette: "It's different."
"Why is it different? It tastes better when you take advantage of me, right?" He turned to Ye Kai and said, "You came to me and said you had a crush on someone but didn't even have the courage to confess. I said I have prepared the wine for you. I will open it when you succeed."
Chen Youhan said calmly: "Ten years later."
Ye Kai was confused: "Ten years later?"
Chen Youhan held him in his arms. The sound waves stopped for a moment and a gentle music was played. He whispered intimately, "Ignore him. He looks down on people."
Qiao Chu smiled a little proudly: "Do you know how to provoke someone? Do you know how cowardly your brother Youhan is? He is afraid of being abrupt when flirting with you, afraid of offending you when he speaks bluntly, afraid of scaring you and running away, afraid of you disliking his age - right, Chen Youhan?" He let out another "tsk" and affirmed himself: "It rhymes quite well."
Chen Youhan tapped the table lightly and said coldly, "Come on, make up some more."
"Okay, okay," Qiao Chu nodded, and acted like a best friend: "When have you ever seen him like that? Even if I use a loud speaker to offer a million-dollar reward to everyone in the audience, asking who has seen Chen Shao being cowardly and not daring to pursue someone, no one would dare to say they have seen it. He used to -"
Chen Youhan sighed calmly, "Qiao Chu."
Boss Qiao stopped talking abruptly, and Ye Kai said sympathetically: "It's okay, I know."
The wine arrived. The sterling silver base looked like an ice-covered snow mountain. The mahogany box was inlaid with a wine shop nameplate with the year "1972" engraved on it. Two crystal whiskey glasses were embedded in the soft bag, one on the left and one on the right.
"It's been four years, hasn't it?"
Chen Youhan took out the bottle of wine and said "hmm" nonchalantly.
"Luckily, it hasn't really been ten years." Qiao Chu was still afraid, "Otherwise you'd say I cursed you." He asked again, "Why didn't you ask me to open a drink when we first got together?"
Chen Youhan bit the cigarette and curled his lips, "Stop talking nonsense."
Ye Kai understood, because "stop when it's enough, part ways in peace", because he repeated these eight words. Chen Youhan was just risking his life to accompany a gentleman, without his consent, he didn't even dare to make his own decision and have expectations for the future.
"It's just right to open now," Ye Kai looked at Chen Youhan: "Isn't that right, Brother Youhan?"
Qiao Chu watched calmly. Ye Kai looked at Chen Youhan with a different look. Although he was young, he had a gentleness that was not superficial. This made him feel very interesting. In those years, people came and went around Chen Youhan. Many of them were young kids. Everyone said they loved him very much, but the way they looked at him was nothing more than being coquettish and asking for things, and they also showed off to the people around them proudly, as if beauty, youth and coquettishness were what they took for granted.
He was willing to introduce Wu Sijiu to Chen Youhan later, simply because he felt that the way he looked at Chen Youhan was different. It was more of an infatuation than showing off.
Qiao Chu came back to his senses from his memories, and before he could finish saying "Ah", the crystal bottle cork made a crisp sound - it had been casually pulled out by Chen Youhan.
Qiao Chu was heartbroken: "Three hundred and sixty thousand, brother! Can you let me take a closer look?"
"Promising."
Ye Kai called Qiao Chu's attention soothingly and asked, "Is Qiao Yichu okay? I heard he went to Peking University."
As expected, Qiao Chu was quickly attracted to him. "What's good or bad about him? Even a gourd with a sawed-off mouth talks more than him! Other children only report good news but not bad news, but he doesn't even bother to say a word to you! He has more ideas in his mind than I do. To him, I, as a father, am just a mascot."
"Qiao Yichu is amazing. Even after such a long time since graduation, his juniors and seniors in Tianyi still know him." Ye Kai praised sincerely.
Qiao Chu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and said modestly: "No way! Let him go to Tsinghua--" He felt something was wrong--he turned his head and found that another one had already fallen--"Chen Youhan! You fucking--"
Chen Youhan raised his glass to him gracefully: "Cheers."
……Dry.
The collision of the crystal clear ice balls sounded like money hitting water to Qiao Chu's ears.
The first floor was too noisy, and Ye Kai felt suffocated after sitting for less than half an hour. Chen Youhan took him in his arms and asked, "Do you want to go back? Or go to the second floor?"
Qiao Chu added: "A private room is also fine, I'll keep it for you."
He didn't know how many glances were cast at him from the dance floor behind him. He couldn't hear what they were talking about. He was just busy looking at Chen Youhan's hand around his waist, looking at his waist being hugged by Chen Youhan, looking at the way Chen Youhan looked at him, and looking at him responding to Chen Youhan's gaze.
There were whispers: "Is that a wedding ring on Chen Shao's hand?"
The ring on the ring finger reflects some starlight under the light.
The low profile of the Ye family has long been written into their genes. Ye Kai is not used to such a star-studded spotlight. He holds Chen Youhan's hand and stands up: "Let's go to the second floor."
The long legs that were originally supporting the high chair touched the ground. He turned around, holding a whiskey glass in his hand, and unexpectedly met the eyes of someone on the dance floor.
Everyone was dancing, except for that person who was standing quietly on the edge, motionless, looking very weird.
The light blurred the details. Ye Kai thought for a while and looked at Chen Youhan uncertainly: "Is it Wu Sijiu?"
Chen Youhan just glanced at it and said, "I don't know. I can't remember clearly."
He had to think for a while before he could match these three words to the original name. It was Xiaojiu.
But all the impressions stop there. Going a little deeper would only bring up some unpleasant memories.
Ye Kai saw Wu Sijiu open his lips and the hand hanging by his side seemed to be about to be raised, and he confirmed: "It's him."
He has changed a lot. His appearance is still as good as before, but his expression is much calmer.
"Let's go." Chen Youhan gently woke him up and took his hand.
Their eyes met, and for a moment they passed each other, Ye Kai hesitated, and finally nodded to him slightly as a greeting.
"He used to like you." He held Chen Youhan's hand tightly and walked up the stairs with him.
The staircase with light strips was winding up in front of him, leading to the narrow soft-padded door on the second floor. Chen Youhan gave all his love to Ye Kai, and he didn't remember how infatuated others were with him or how crazy they were for him. When he heard Ye Kai say that, he just said lightly, "Really?"
Ye Kai couldn't help but look back again and saw that Wu Sijiu had been pulled back to the booth by someone else.
"Do you know her?" The male companion, holding a cigarette in his mouth, raised his head and glanced at Chen Youhan's back, "Mr. Chen's lover."
"know."
"Fuck, is this true?" The man put out his cigarette. Everyone in the same booth became interested and gathered around him. "What's going on? Are they really married?"
Wu Sijiu clenched his fists.
At that moment, he remembered a lot. He remembered Ye Kai's indifferent congratulations when the college entrance examination results came out, his innocent eyes widened when his secrets were exposed, and his light-hearted words "I don't care at all"... Strangely, after so long, when he vaguely recalled such moments, he still felt a surge of emotions that were difficult to calm down.
"I'm asking you a question. What's the situation? I heard that you also come from a wealthy family?" Someone patted him on the shoulder.
Wu Sijiu exhaled deeply... I'm not kind, I'm just stimulated by the other party's hypocritical appearance... I can also be kind to this extent... I can be kinder than him. He smiled and shook his head: "I'm not familiar with him, he's just an ordinary person."
The moment he finished speaking, amid the disappointment of others, his heart relaxed... It was strange, as if he had finally let himself go.
When I looked back again, I only saw Ye Kai and Chen Youhan's backs passing by the door.
Hands still held.
The second floor and the first floor of Huangtian are two completely different worlds. Even the air is different. Ye Kai has experienced this. Qiao Chu leaned on the railing and pointed to an outdoor booth in a bar: "Do you remember?"
"What?"
"You were drinking with your friends there that day, and Youhan was sitting right here." Qiao Chu lit up a cigarette, took a puff, shook his head and said sarcastically, "You looked so lost and distraught, it was fucking terrifying."
Ye Kai remembered: "He saw it all."
Chen Youhan was greeting a table of guests, probably a familiar friend. Ye Kai watched him pat the other person on the shoulder. He was always pleasing to the eye in any social interaction. Ye Kai's eyes stopped at his smiling face, "Brother Youhan must have caused you a lot of trouble in the past two years."
"It's not that troublesome, but I don't want to see that ghost look again." Qiao Chu smiled and said, "Is everything settled at home?"
"Um."
"You are different from him. He is used to being unrestrained. His family has long since stopped caring about him. The Chen family is such a big family. Without him, there are many people willing to take his place. You are the only one in your Ye family."
"I have an older sister, and she's a very good person."
"That's good." Qiao Chu said sincerely, and then said: "Isn't it difficult to get them to admit the blessing?"
How many people have failed on this road, and how many people are too timid to even take the first step. Courage is commendable in any field, but in the road of homosexuality, the only feedback you get may be a bloody head.
Ye Kai smiled and said, "It's okay, because Brother Youhan made them feel at ease."
Like Chen Youhan, he is not the type to share his private life. Qiao Chu glanced at him, a little smile on his face, and continued to look up at the sky. The young man was calm and measured, and he really deserved to be the person Chen Youhan had been with since childhood. With a cigarette in his mouth, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. Youhan has a lot of stories in Huangtian, and I find them outrageous when I hear them. If you hear anything wrong in the future or if you want to know something, just come and ask me."
Ye Kai laughed: "What could it be?"
Qiao Chu casually blew out a smoke ring: "Threesome, seven times a night, drugs, SM."
Chen Youhan had already pulled out a chair and sat down at the table. No one knew what they were talking about. He and the other guests looked over here and saw Ye Kai looking at him. The corner of his lips curled up into a smile.
Ye Kai responded with a smile, nodded to the guest, and said to Qiao Chu calmly, "He won't."
"You believe him."
"It's not that I believe it, it's that I know Brother Youhan is not that kind of person."
Qiao Chu couldn't help but look at him again, "How old are you this year? Twenty-two? Twenty-three?"
"Twenty-one."
It was really strange, he was only 21 years old, but when he stood next to Chen Youhan, he didn't look out of place. It wasn't because he had a noble and deep temperament, nor was it because Chen Youhan looked young, but when they stood together, they looked so perfect that it was easy to ignore the 16-year time difference between them.
Chen Youhan was not thinking about his bottle of whiskey worth 300,000 yuan. He could not help but want to tell the world about Ye Kai, who was so good. Qiao Chu knew it very well. The corners of his lips curled up, and he leaned against the railing and sighed softly: "Chen Youhan, you are really lucky."
The man who was called a beast was totally unaware and waved to Ye Kai. Ye Kai whispered "Excuse me" and walked towards Chen Youhan's table holding his glass.
"Meet my wife, Leslie; Xiaokai, this is Lee, this is Mark, they are both architectural designers from Hong Kong." Chen Youhan sat down and put his arm around his waist, and Ye Kai took the opportunity to half-sit on the armrest and nodded to the two of them: "Hello."
"Just now Vic said he came with his lover, and we all thought he was bluffing, so we made a bet." Lee said with a smile: "So, tell me, are you the extra that Vic found?"
"No need to ask," Mark held the other's hand and said in Cantonese, "How could an old man like Vic find such a young and beautiful boyfriend who looks like a star?"
Chen Youhan smiled and held Ye Kai in his arms: "Don't listen to their jokes, they are just teasing you."
Ye Kai put his arm around his neck, looking very obedient: "What did you bet on?"
Mark rushed to say: "Whoever wins will go up and sing."
“Is it the other way around?”
"No objection, no objection," Lee winked, "The winner sings - so, quick, are you really his boyfriend?"
Ye Kai seemed to think seriously for a while, pursed his lips and said, "No."
Chen Youhan laughed out loud amid the two people's annoyance, and secretly pinched Ye Kai's waist with his big hand. Ye Kai lowered his eyes innocently and looked at him, but finally couldn't help laughing.
"I'm willing to accept the loss," Chen Youhan raised his glass and toasted from afar, "Please."
Lee and Mark started to quarrel and blame each other. In the end, they played rock-paper-scissors, and Mark, who could sing, was chosen by fate and went on stage with a look on his face that he wished he were dead.
"Hello, testtest." Mark picked up the guitar, sat on the high stool, and adjusted the height of the microphone.
"Mark is a professional." Lee looked away from the stage and pointed at Ye Kai with amusement, his eyes fixed on the ring on his ring finger: "Little boy, you are not honest."
"Excuse me for showing off my poor performance." Mark plucked out a series of string sounds, cleared his throat and said, "Today, I'm going to sing a song for my good friend Vic. My friend is handsome, and he's a romantic and suave person by nature. Generally speaking, we don't want to stay with him because then, no matter if they are ladies or gentlemen, they will only have eyes for him." After Mark finished speaking, Lee laughed and applauded, then put in two fingers and blew a sharp whistle.
Ye Kai regretted cheating and buried his face in Chen Youhan's neck: "What should I do? We are being watched."
Chen Youhan smiled helplessly and dotingly, patting his shoulder soothingly: "Don't come next time."
"But my friend is also a very good person, generous and righteous, so we all hope that he will find a good home. People often say that his private life is chaotic and that he is cold-blooded, but I don't think so. Sure enough, on such a beautiful night like today, I heard that he came with his boyfriend. I was really surprised and happy - this song is dedicated to him and his boyfriend."
As the melody sounded, there was applause, whistles and booing from the audience.
"There are always some surprising encounters, like when I met you."
It’s “Xiao Yu”.
Lee said Mark was a professional, and it turned out to be true. Perhaps because he often sang this song, his fingering was very skillful, and the sound of the guitar strings and his voice echoed faintly on the empty terrace on the second floor.
"No matter what the future holds, I want to see you every day."
"No matter what the ending is, I really want to be with you."
When singing "If you still can't believe it, it's okay", Mark looked in the direction of Ye Kai and Chen Youhan, strummed the last string of notes, and changed the line with a sly smile: "I will continue to work hard."
Ye Kai nestled in Chen Youhan's arms, the stars and lights reflected in his eyes. He looked into Chen Youhan's eyes, which were so close to him, and whispered, "I believe it."
Everyone's attention was on the stage. Chen Youhan hugged him tightly and kissed his lips. Mark put down his guitar, raised his eyebrows, and said "Wow" silently.
