Chapter 49: Jinjiang's Solo Post [Want to Kiss]...
Jiang Chen withdrew his hand angrily. At this moment, he wanted to bury himself in the quilt and pretend that he was still asleep and was sleepwalking.
Lu Chiyuan sat up, and seeing that he was embarrassed, he said, "Good morning."
The voice that had just woken up was a little hoarse, and Jiang Chen's ears felt numb. His heart, which had been avoiding embarrassment, was miraculously soothed by these words. He turned his avoidant gaze back and met Lu Chiyuan's eyes, with a smile on his brows and eyes.
There was nothing wrong with friends playing pranks with each other, but Lu Chiyuan had a cold personality, and the overly lively style did not suit him, so his response was to cooperate with Jiang Chen's pranks to prevent Jiang Chen's mood from falling to the bottom.
Even if it is just a small thing, as long as friends don't spoil the fun, you will be very happy.
Seeing Jiang Chen relax, Lu Chiyuan said again: "Looking forward to your next good morning wake-up call."
Jiang Chen nodded. He was in high spirits at the moment and agreed immediately: "No problem."
He has to stay with Lu Chiyuan for at least one night, and it won't be a problem next time.
A new day, the sun is shining.
Xu Chen called a meeting with the hotel staff early in the morning to deal with negative news online and to rectify the internal situation. He left very early and left a message in the group chat, telling them to go play first and come when he was done, and not to worry about him.
But none of the remaining three moved.
Jiang Chen had just returned from the gym and was eating breakfast. He recalled Xu Chen's attitude towards Gu Tingsen yesterday and felt a little confused.
Xu Chen not only mentioned that the hotel was only in his name, but also mentioned that Gu Tingsen had shares in Haidao. However, it was obvious that these shares were not originally owned by Gu Tingsen, but were given to him by someone else.
Xu Chen called the person who gave Gu Tingsen the shares an old thing, and his tone was rather harsh. Anyone could tell that it was not a friendly relationship.
[Could this old man be Gu Tingsen's father? ]
Jiang Chen couldn't help but guess that in the original novel, Xu Chen was the one who the Gu family couldn't stand in the light of day. Even though he and the Gu family lived in the same area and they would meet each other every day, he didn't care.
When Jiang Chen was reading the book, he felt that his attitude was extremely arrogant, but after getting to know him for some time, he found that he was a very nice person. He would only show his disapproval to Gu Tingsen.
[It was mentioned in the original novel that Gu Tingsen had an island. When he was pursuing Chen Zhiyi, he took Chen Zhiyi to the island for vacation and proposed to her on the beach. The hotel staff treated them with great respect and even cleared the venue for them. Qiuqiu, is this the island mentioned in the original novel? ]
Jiang Chen drank some milk and discussed the plot with Xueqiu in his mind. The proposal was a later event. Jiang Chen was a little tired of pursuing her, so he picked the plots with Lu Chiyuan and didn't pay much attention to the author's bragging about Gu Tingsen's assets.
[Judging from your flight path, it is undoubtedly this island. ]
Jiang Chen was surprised: [But this is the Xu family's property, and it is currently under Xu Chen's name. Did he snatch it from Xu Chen later? ]
Jiang Chen did not doubt that Gu Tingsen could do such a thing, but there was a sense of disharmony that could not be ignored. The Xu family's business was not as small as the author wrote. Aunt Xu, as a strong woman, not only had a career and love, but also Xu Chen, an obedient and good child.
Their family seemed to be very happy. Even for Lu Mingxuan, Jiang Chen didn't think Xu Chen would be so irrational as to return to Gu's house.
Isn’t the Xu family’s wealth enough for him to deal with Gu Tingsen?
He and Lu Chiyuan are good friends, and the three of them often get together and have dinner together. How could Lu Chiyuan be indifferent to Lu Mingxuan's death?
The two of them working together are more than enough to defeat Gu Tingsen.
Jiang Chen tried to understand the plot, but failed. It can only be said that the author was too frustrated in the later period, wanting to give Gu Tingsen everything. Normal means did not work, so he simply and roughly killed him, resulting in a lack of logical coherence.
Novels are written for fun and no one will delve into them deeply, but when placed in a small world, this sense of incongruity needs to be repaired by the small world.
It was already past ten o'clock when Xu Chen finished dealing with the hotel matters. He initiated location sharing in the group and when he clicked on it, he found that the three people were still in the hotel.
Xu Chen: [Did you come here specifically to sleep? Are hotel beds more comfortable?]
Jiang Chen raised his head and glanced at Lu Chiyuan, thinking that it was quite comfortable, but he couldn't sleep too much.
Xu Chen: [Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you on the yacht.]
After Xu Chen said this, he started to move, and Jiang Chen and the other two packed up and went out.
It was night when Jiang Chen arrived yesterday, and he didn't observe the scenery of the island much. Now when he walked out, the slightly salty sea breeze blew over. He raised his hand to block the sun above his head and saw the sunlight falling on the white sand beach. In the distance, the sea and the sky were one color, clear blue, and seagulls flapped their wings and flew high, circling over the water.
The island has a pleasant climate and there are many tourists coming and going. They come in groups of three or five, adding a unique touch of brilliant color to the beach.
Jiang Chen looked all the way and saw the sky was high and the clouds were light, the scenery was beautiful, which was perfect for relaxing.
Xu Chen was already waiting for them on the yacht. When he saw them boarding, he opened a bottle of champagne and said sarcastically, "Do you dare to be late any longer?"
"Can you blame us for this? We agreed to go out and have fun, but you ended up working overtime?" Lu Mingxuan snatched the champagne from Xu Chen's hand and sat on the sofa next to him.
Xu Chen took the wine bottle and tapped his head with the bottom of the bottle, saying, "I want to work overtime? If I hadn't met that plague god, I don't know how free I would be right now."
The yacht headed towards the sea. The slight shaking made Jiang Chen feel a little dizzy, but he didn't care and sat down by the window.
Xu Chen handed him a glass of champagne, and Jiang Chen asked, "How did you deal with it in the end?"
"Just fire him, what's there to say?"
The problem at the front desk was not only that they had moved Xu Chen's room to Gu Tingsen, but also that he was harassing female guests. The lobby manager was his relative, and he had always known about it, but he turned a blind eye. Xu Chen fired one and found time to demote the other and replace him with someone else to manage the hotel.
Lu Mingxuan asked, "You are so disgusted with Gu Tingsen, why are you still doing business with him?"
Xu Chen handed the last glass of wine to Lu Chiyuan, put down the bottle and said, "I won't go against money."
Two luxury suites, a small profit of one or two million in a few days.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows: "The question is, will he give you money?"
Gu Tingsen seemed to be treating the island as his own property. Jiang Chen was a little skeptical that he would just transfer the money to other accounts as a shareholder.
"If he dares not to give it to me, I will throw the bill in the old man's face." Xu Chen was not worried at all. He took a sip of champagne with a smile on his face. His already handsome face revealed a sense of arrogance, and he seemed to have some expectations.
Lu Mingxuan on the side asked in confusion: "Who is the old guy?"
Xu Chen raised his eyes and said without hesitation: "His father!"
The current head of the Gu family is Gu Tingsen's father. Gu Tingsen has only taken over the family business and has not yet fully taken charge.
Lu Mingxuan knew a lot about the Gu family. He knew Xu Chen disliked Gu Tingsen, but he didn't expect that he didn't like the old man either. He had a kind of calm madness that killed everyone in the Gu family equally.
Lu Mingxuan's intuition as a veteran in the business world told him that something was wrong. He stroked the wine glass, hesitated for a moment, and did not ask any further questions.
The yacht gradually went deeper into the sea, the sounds of seagulls rang all around, and the waves hit the hull, bringing up the sound of splashing water.
Xu Chen went out to sea for sea fishing, and their lunch today depended on what seafood they caught.
Jiang Chen followed him onto the deck. The sun was shining directly outside, and the sea breeze had a salty and humid smell. Seagulls were flying around the yacht, occasionally stopping for a moment and then continuing to fly.
Lu Mingxuan didn't want to bask in the sun and wanted to hide in the cabin for some quiet time, but Xu Chen had no intention of letting him go. When he found out that Lu Mingxuan was not there, he came in to arrest him.
Lu Chiyuan was not surprised. He was not very interested in sea fishing, but Xu Chen liked it. He and Lu Mingxuan let him do what he wanted.
On the deck, Jiang Chen was studying the pile of fishing gear. As a novice in sea fishing, he was still somewhat interested.
Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Lu Chiyuan walked over and said, "First choose a fishing rod you like, and I'll help you."
The fishing gear Xu Chen prepared was all good stuff, just in different colors, there was nothing to pick. Jiang Chen chose a black fishing rod, and Lu Chiyuan taught him how to release the line, throw the hook, and find the right position.
Jiang Chen listened carefully and practiced diligently. If he didn't get it right, Lu Chiyuan would help.
He stood behind Jiang Chen and naturally held Jiang Chen's hand. Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment but did not dodge. Lu Chiyuan taught him twice, and when Jiang Chen mastered the essentials, he let go of Jiang Chen's hand and let him try it himself.
Jiang Chen swung the club again as he taught him, and this time it was perfect. He clenched his fist happily and turned around to share it with Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Chiyuan was standing behind him and watching him. He turned around, and the extra space between them disappeared. His lips were less than a fist away from Lu Chiyuan's face. If he moved a little closer, he could kiss him.
The two looked at each other, their breathing disordered for a moment, and their hot breaths entangled, adding fuel to the scorching summer day.
Jiang Chen's eyes fell on Lu Chiyuan's lips. Because he had just drunk some wine, his lips were moist and looked very kissable.
Jiang Chen's head felt a little hot and he felt dizzy.
【Want to kiss...】
Jiang Chen licked his lips quickly, probably thinking that he was a little perverted, so he moved his gaze away from Lu Chiyuan's lips and slightly downwards to Lu Chiyuan's Adam's apple, where he saw the small mole.
It's shallow, but its special location makes it hard to ignore.
【A bit sexy. 】
Jiang Chen noticed that Lu Chiyuan's Adam's apple rolled. He raised his hand on the side and placed it on the back of Jiang Chen's neck. His fingertips rubbed the skin on the side of Jiang Chen's neck, gradually tightening the force, forcing Jiang Chen to raise his head.
Jiang Chen's body stiffened. When he saw Lu Chiyuan's approaching face, his pupils suddenly shrank. His already dizzy brain went blank at this moment and he subconsciously held his breath.
Lu Chiyuan lowered his eyes, his blue eyes were like the rippling ocean, bottomless and addictive.
He moved closer to Jiang Chen's face and was about to kiss him when he heard the voices of Xu Chen and Lu Mingxuan behind him.
The bickering between the two woke Lu Chiyuan up and also brought Jiang Chen back to his senses. Their postures did not change, but the distance between their faces had widened.
Xu Chen walked onto the deck and saw the two of them dodging. He paused for a moment, then quickened his pace, walked between the two of them, and said with a smirk, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Chen was asked directly, and his ears quickly turned red. He stole a glance at Lu Chiyuan and made a lame excuse: "My eyes are uncomfortable, maybe some dust fell into them."
Seeing that he was trying to cover up his mistake, Xu Chen did not expose him, but approached him playfully: "Then let me help you take a good look."
Jiang Chen stepped back and said, "No need, everything is fine now."
"You have no say..."
Xu Chen stretched out his claws, and Lu Chiyuan raised his hand to grab the back of his collar, stuffed a fishing rod into his hand, dragged him aside and said, "Stop playing, I don't want to have lunch on the sea."
Xu Chen glanced at him and said jokingly, "How could I let you drink the wind? I am willing to do so, but there are others who are not."
Jiang Chen's ears were still burning, and his face also became hot when he heard Xu Chen's words. He quickly glanced at Lu Chiyuan's face, and he was calm, as if nothing had happened, as if the atmosphere of wanting to kiss just now was just Jiang Chen's illusion.
Jiang Chen felt a little lost. He touched his heart, and after the violent beating subsided, the calmness that returned made him feel uncomfortable.
The yacht rocked slightly and he seemed to become even more dizzy.
[Qiuqiu, am I sick? ]
Snowball hit the nail on the head: [Yes, a terminal illness, lovesickness.]
Jiang Chen: [……]
