Chapter 17
Tang An's heart tightened, and he bit his lip hard. He turned his head away and opened the passenger door: "You drive."
To be on the safe side, he will drive the car at night, so I basically can't sleep, so I have to catch up on my sleep.
Everything went according to Tang An's plan.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Yingguang, looking glamorous and wearing sunglasses, moved the large suitcase into the trunk.
Tang An's forehead veins throbbed: "Chi Ying! We are not going on a trip!!!"
Chi Ying pretended to be deaf, immediately closed the trunk, slipped into the driver's seat, and then rolled down the window and said in a long tone: "Hurry - get - in the car -"
Tang An: “…”
As the car drove out of the parking lot, Chi Ying, still in a good mood, turned on the car stereo and played a rhythmic Spanish song.
Tang An sat in the passenger seat with a cold expression: "Change the song."
Chi Ying cuts the song.
Tang An: "Change."
Chi Ying cut again.
"Change."
Ji Ying continued cutting.
"Change."
Ji Ying stopped talking and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel: "This one, it's pretty good."
Tang An was too lazy to argue anymore. He crossed his arms and turned his back to Chi Ying: "Call me at seven o'clock."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, trying to block out the incomprehensible but unusually cheerful melody and Chi Ying's discordant humming.
As he was getting more and more annoyed, he fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang An was awakened by a strong feeling of being stared at.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that it was pitch black outside the car window, with only the lights of the gas station flashing in the distance.
The driver's seat was empty.
He was just about to lift the blanket to get his cell phone when a pale, yet extremely delicate face suddenly pressed against the car window next to him.
“…”
The owner of that face seemed very excited, his eyes wide open: "He's awake! He's awake!!"
Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying face, as if a savage face had just come from a primitive tribe, also came to the car window and occupied Tang An's field of vision.
“…”
Old, boss??????
Tang An gasped and almost fell over on the spot.
At this moment, the driver's door was opened from the outside, and Tang An almost reflexively picked up the mineral water bottle at hand and was about to smash it over.
"Did you fall asleep?" It was a voice that Chi Ying was familiar with.
Tang An paused, looking at him in shock: "Alive...alive? I think I saw He Chenzhou just now..."
Chi Ying's expression was playful: "What do you think?"
Tang An silently turned to the two people outside the car window.
I had just woken up and my vision hadn't recovered yet, and now I could see that there was a gas station behind them.
The slender figure next to He Chenzhou turned around gracefully.
Tang An's pupils trembled: "Ro...Roy??!"
He pushed open the car door and walked over quickly, staring at the couple in disbelief. "Why... are you here? And... dressed like this?"
No wonder Tang An thought He Chenzhou was a ghost and didn't recognize his favorite dancer.
The boss of the law firm, who had always been a serious man, always came to work in a suit and tie with a brisk pace every day. But now he looked like this. First of all, his face was covered with grease paint, and then he was covered with war-damaged rags picked up from some garbage dump. He didn't even have a pair of decent shoes, and wore rather old-fashioned straw sandals under his feet.
The whole person looks like a savage.
Roy next to him, without the heavy stage makeup, had a plain white face that looked a little dull. His long hair was tied up with a pigtail, and the long ponytail swayed with his movements.
Before He Chenzhou could speak, Roy took the lead and said in a joyful voice: "Xiaozhou is going back to his hometown!"
He Chenzhou nodded helplessly, his voice still calm: "Well, grandpa is not in good health, I'm going back to visit him."
Tang An: "Then this one..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone present got it.
He Chenzhou: "It's the custom of my hometown."
Roy immediately raised his hand proudly, his eyes twinkling. "I dressed up Xiaozhou! Doesn't it look very primitive and tribal?"
The corner of Tang An's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out two words with difficulty: "...Respect."
At this time, Chi Ying also walked over to his side: "They were there when I got off the gas station. We chatted for a while and found out that we were going the same way. Our destinations were only about four or five kilometers apart."
Tang An suddenly realized.
Chi Ying looked at He Chenzhou with a sincere smile: "While chatting, I found out that Boss He has a lover. This is really something worth celebrating."
This attitude was completely different from the arrogant look he had when we met in the law firm's elevator.
Tang An was speechless: "I told you a long time ago..."
Roy paid no attention to their pleasantries. His beautiful eyes were fixed on Tang An, filled with eager anticipation. He clasped his hands together and said, "Dear ones, I really, really hope you can join us!"
Chi Ying raised an eyebrow, looking very interested: "Oh? Are you inviting us to visit Boss He's hometown? It sounds quite interesting..."
Before he could utter the word "meaning", Roy suddenly approached Tang An like a light butterfly, and kissed him loudly on the cheek in a lightning speed.
Chi Ying: “…”
The smile on his face froze instantly, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
He Chenzhou was very calm, as if he was used to it: "Calm down."
Tang An covered his face and took a few steps back: "You..."
Chi Ying exploded, stepped forward and grabbed Roy's collar, his voice rising octaves with anger: "Why did you kiss my wife???"
Roy was not at all flustered. He blinked his innocent eyes and declared confidently, "Because I like him."
Tang An was completely stunned.
Chi Ying was so angry that he almost fainted: "You..."
Why can you say this so naturally? You are sick! ! ! !
He Chenzhou, probably seeing the situation getting out of control, reached out to free Roy from Chi Ying's clutches, protecting him behind him. Then, in a calm, composed, and clear tone, as if stating facts in court, he spoke, "Didn't Tang An mention this to you?"
"What are you talking about???" Chi Ying turned around abruptly and glared at Tang An, "Are you hiding something from me?!"
Tang An: “…”
He was more wronged than Dou E. What did he have to do with it? What did He Chenzhou want to say? Could it be that outrageous open relationship proposal from before? A strong sense of foreboding suddenly gripped him.
The next second, He Chenzhou spoke as if he were delivering a closing statement on behalf of a client. His tone was steady, each word clear. "Earlier, Tang An mentioned your intention to divorce. Out of respect for your individual free will, I suggested trying an open relationship. He declined at the time, and Roy expressed deep regret. Since you two are here today, I think we can discuss the feasibility of this proposal more formally and in depth."
The muscles on Chi Ying's face twitched uncontrollably. "What the hell? An open relationship?"
Roy immediately popped his head out from behind him and added enthusiastically, "I just want to have sex with Tang An. You can find He Chenzhou, or you can find me, or He Chenzhou can find Tang An, or the four of us can go together."
Ji Young: “Wow, amazing.”
He slowly turned to Tang An, his voice terribly low:
"Tang An."
"Um?"
"Now," Chi Ying said, emphasizing each word, his eyes icy as he swept over He Chenzhou and Roy, "can I hit someone? The kind that would kill them?"
Tang An was conflicted because Roy was his favorite ballet dancer for a while.
Roy pestered He Chenzhou and acted coquettishly: "Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, I really want to kiss Tang An. I want that French kiss... with the tongue. I feel his lips are so soft and pink, it must be super comfortable to kiss!!!"
Tang An: “…Wow, amazing.”
He felt that the monument in his heart, called the idol filter, collapsed completely with a "boom" after Roy's earth-shattering speech.
Tang An had no expression on his face. He turned around indifferently and opened the car door.
"Fight."
He paused, his tone filled with a disillusioned calm.
"I turned from a fan to a hater."
Chi Ying rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
Roy immediately hid behind He Chenzhou: "Oh, oh, oh, didn't you say Xiao An is my fan?"
He Chenzhou was very calm: "I was a fan, but now I have turned against you."
It is said that the most terrifying thing is not the black fans, but the fans turning into black fans. Because they have loved deeply, the hatred is even stronger when they no longer love.
Tang An interprets this word very well.
It was a mess here, and he took out his cell phone from the driver's seat.
His original intention was to return the premiere ticket he had snatched, but the big number nine on the screen reminded Tang An that it was less than three hours before Chi Ying turned into a dog.
Does time pass so quickly?
He frowned and shouted out the window: "Chi Ying, you're back——"
Chi Ying enjoyed the fight. He was a fifth-degree black belt, and it was quite difficult for him to find a sparring partner among his peers. Now that he had met someone so suitable, he naturally didn't want to stop.
Roy looked at Chi Ying, then at Tang An, whose face was dark.
He blinked, then put his hands to his mouth in a trumpet shape.
"Dear—"
"No—don't—fight—"
He Chenzhou's speed gradually slowed down, and Chi Ying took advantage of the opportunity to pursue him.
Roy dropped a time bomb: "Xiao An is angry."
Chi Ying said this lightly, and suddenly stopped, his fist was only a millimeter away from hitting the person's face.
He was very handsome and said harsh words.
"I'll remember you and come again next time."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Tang An.
Tang An had a stern face. When people got into the car and were about to fasten their seat belts, he imitated Lin Xiuguan and hit them on the back of the head.
Chi Ying suddenly felt aggrieved and covered the back of his head and said, "Didn't you ask me to hit you?"
Tang An: "Did I tell you to stop?"
Chi Ying curled her lips: "I didn't hear it."
Tang An's eyes swept across the red mark, and the anger in his heart mostly dissipated. He stretched out his hand and said, "Does it hurt..."
Chi Ying, however, leaned back like a frightened cat: "What? You want to hit me again?"
Tang An's hand froze in mid-air: "...Come here."
Chi Ying covered her chest with her hands: "No."
Tang An said patiently, "Come here."
Chi Ying: “No.”
Tang An smiled wryly: "Can you come over?"
Chi Ying: “…”
He felt that if he didn't go over there, something bad would happen, and his strong desire to survive made him move over slowly.
Tang An suddenly reached out, grabbed Chi Ying's collar and pulled him in front of him, gnashing his teeth into his ear: "I just want to see where you're hurt, why are you hiding?! Are you afraid that I'll eat you? Huh?"
The hot breath sprayed on the ear, and Chi Ying's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and the roots of his ears were stained with crimson: "...You just yelled at me, so fierce."
Tang An: "...I'm sorry."
Chi Yingshun climbed up the pole: "Then can you touch my hand? He Chenzhou is thick-skinned, and it hurts a little."
Tang An paused, loosened his collar, and gently lifted Chi Ying's hand with red knuckles. He lowered his head and blew on it carefully.
His eyes were lowered, his expression focused.
Chi Ying was a little moved and gradually approached: "Tang An, I..."
My eyes glanced at the two faces outside the window.
He stopped.
Roy covered his mouth with his hands, his big eyes showing "I want to see, I want to see!!", while He Chenzhou beside him still had an expressionless face.
Chi Ying's face instantly turned dark: "Are you two sick?!"
Tang An also saw it, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Let's go after you have rested well."
I feel like if I stay any longer, I'm going to be pestered by these two guys.
After a brief farewell, the two drove back into the night.
After driving for a while, Tang An noticed a familiar car following behind him in the rearview mirror.
Chi Ying also noticed it: "No way."
Tang An consoled himself: "We are indeed on the same route, have you forgotten?"
Chi Ying: "Why did they leave as soon as we left?"
Tang An: "It's actually a question of probability."
Chi Ying: "Change lanes, it's annoying to see people chasing you so closely."
Tang An turned on the turn signal and the car quickly changed lanes to another motor vehicle lane.
Three seconds later, the other party also changed lanes.
They both: “…”
What bad luck.
The two of them ignored it, thinking that they didn't care and wouldn't be on their way later.
But an hour later, a sudden storm forced the two cars to stop one after another under a dark stone tablet engraved with strange and ancient patterns.
The two felt fucked.
Roy quickly spoke before anyone asked, "Just to be clear, this is Xiaozhou's hometown."
They both: “…”
The rain splashed on the umbrella, and Roy's voice was like a siren in the sea tempting the sailors to jump into the sea.
"It's raining so hard, the road is definitely impassable. Do you want to stay overnight?"
He added another sentence.
“It’s free.”
Tang An and Chi Ying looked at each other under the umbrella
Tang An: What should we do?
Chi Ying: What can I do? The rain is too heavy and I can’t drive the car.
They had no choice but to compromise.
“…Trouble.”
