Chapter 127: Wine Enters the Heart
Lu Ze's hair stood on end at the tiger's roar. Seeing Jiujiu banging against the cage in frustration, he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly went over to pull Su Qingyan away.
"Let go, I'll open it for you."
If Su Qingyan is not allowed in today, these two difficult guys will make a big fuss.
The administrator had no choice but to get the key and bring a tranquilizer gun before he could open the cage.
After Su Qingyan entered the tiger cage, he opened his arms towards Jiujiu. Jiujiu controlled his strength and pounced on him.
Su Qingyan was already unsteady on his feet due to being drunk, and he staggered and almost fell down after being attacked.
Lu Ze and the administrator watched them from outside the cage, their hearts in their throats, sweating profusely.
"How long does it take for your tranquilizer gun to work? Will it be in time?"
"It's too late. It's just a mental comfort." The administrator replied tremblingly.
"Then we'll just wait to be buried with you..."
Su Qingyan hugged Jiujiu's neck to avoid falling, and then buried her face in his thick hair.
"Missed me?"
Jiujiu let out a low growl as a response.
"Your voice is so loud that it hurts my ears." Su Qingyan patted Jiujiu's nose to make it shut its mouth.
After being scolded by him, Jiujiu lay on the ground feeling aggrieved. She wanted to lick him, but then she realized that if she licked him with her tongue, he would lose a piece of flesh, so she started to lick her own paws awkwardly.
Su Qingyan turned over and lay on his back on Jiujiu's belly, then pulled its tail and put it on his own belly.
"Fortunately, you won't abandon me." Su Qingyan said as he pulled its beard, "Turn around, it hurts."
The administrator watched with fear and prayed that the tiger would not be provoked.
But Jiujiu obediently turned its head and gently waved its tail on his belly, as if to comfort him or to coax him to sleep.
Su Qingyan tossed and turned all night and was exhausted both physically and mentally. He hugged Jiujiu's big paw and fell asleep in a short while.
"Do you want to send a quilt in..." The administrator asked worriedly when he saw Su Qingyan fell asleep like this.
"You send it, I'm afraid of death."
"It's not that cold..."
Jiujiu has a bad temper and the keepers dare not approach it easily, let alone the administrator who has little communication with it.
Su Qingyan slept very soundly, perhaps because he passed out from drunkenness. When he woke up, it was already past noon.
"What's that smell? It stinks..."
Su Qingyan stood up with a frown. His head felt dizzy and bloated as if it was about to explode, and his stomach was burning with pain.
"Chirp?"
When Su Qingyan sat up, he was slightly surprised to see Jiujiu, who had been serving as his pillow.
How did I get here?
Jiujiu rubbed against him affectionately and licked the grass debris on his body with her tongue.
"Ouch! Be gentle, it hurts."
Su Qingyan winced at the pain of the bruises on his body. Jiujiu thought he hadn't controlled the force well and groaned a few times in frustration.
"You can't squeeze it like a kitten any more. It hums like a 12-cylinder engine."
Su Qingyan touched Jiujiu's head and scratched its ears which felt comfortable to the touch.
"Mr. Su, would you like to have breakfast?" the breeder asked nervously outside the cage.
Well, it’s breakfast right after waking up.
In order to ensure Su Qingyan's safety, they have been taking turns on duty.
"Who brought me here?"
Su Qingyan tried hard to recall, but his memory stopped at the moment he was drinking alone.
"You came here with Young Master Lu Ze last night. I'll go get him. Can you...can you come out and have breakfast first?"
Su Qingyan knew that they were in a difficult situation as well, so he stopped making things difficult for him and walked out of the tiger cage.
After only a few steps, his legs went weak and he started retching while holding onto the wall.
The feeling of being hungover is really awful.
When Lu Ze heard the news that Su Qingyan was finally willing to come out, he hurriedly took the shuttle bus from the hotel to this side. When he arrived, he saw Su Qingyan sitting on a bench next to Hushan with a pale face.
"Come on, go take a shower. Look what you've done to yourself."
Before the shuttle bus came to a complete stop, Lu Ze jumped off, trotted to Su Qingyan's side, and pulled him up with some disgust.
Su Qingyan reluctantly followed him to the hotel, and the manager took them to the suite that had been reserved for Su Qingyan.
"Change the room, I'm not here." Su Qingyan said awkwardly.
Seeing his pretentiousness, Lu Ze knew that he was reminded of someone by the things he saw, so he signaled the manager to quickly open another room.
Su Qingyan took off her clothes in the bathroom and saw the bruises all over her body. She hesitated whether she could take a shower.
Zhou Cheng would definitely say that the wound should not come into contact with water.
You're sick! What's the harm in washing it?
But after taking a shower out of spite, the wounds of all sizes on my body began to scream in pain.
After putting on his clothes with a grimace, Su Qingyan endured the pain, put on a stern face, and walked out of the room again.
"Don't you want to sleep for a while?" Lu Ze didn't expect him to finish so quickly.
"Let's go back." Su Qingyan didn't want to stay in this sad place any longer.
"Don't you want to eat something?" Lu Ze handed him a small piece of cake.
Su Qingyan shook his head and refused. It was not that he was not hungry, but he was having severe stomach pain and acid reflux and had no appetite at all.
On the way back, Su Qingyan, tortured by both pain and stomachache, could no longer bear it. She asked Lu Ze to buy a box of painkillers at a roadside pharmacy and swallowed a few pills.
Lu Ze frowned, watching him swallow the pills without even a drop of water, and felt like he was choking too.
After taking the medicine, Su Qingyan regained some energy, but his complexion was still very bad.
Back in the city, Lu Ze thought that Young Master Su should go home and rest, but Su Qingyan dragged him into the bar again.
"Dad, don't you want to take a break? The bar just opened, right?"
Su Qingyan didn't want to rest. Once he had free time, he couldn't help thinking about the things that made him upset. Now he just wanted to numb himself with alcohol.
The bar had not yet officially opened, but when two very recognizable faces appeared at the door, the manager personally came out and invited them in.
"You haven't eaten all day. Are you really not going to consider eating something first?"
After they sat down at the bar, Su Qingyan ordered all the wines on the wine rack opposite him as if he was ordering dishes, and the bartender busily placed bottles of wine on the bar.
Su Qingyan didn't say anything, but shook the glass in his hand. The ice cubes collided with each other, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound, and the bartender immediately filled the glass with wine.
Lu Ze's heart was filled with alarm. He had known Su Qingyan for so many years and had seen all kinds of ups and downs, but he had never seen him so depressed.
"Qingyan, if you're unhappy, just tell me. Don't keep it to yourself." Lu Ze winked at the bartender to leave and poured himself a glass of wine.
"What are you doing? Risking your life for a gentleman?" Su Qingyan stretched out his hand to stop him from drinking.
"Don't hit me yet. I didn't take cefuroxime. I took Aqi. I just checked and it's safe to drink."
Su Qingyan looked as if he didn't want to pay attention to you and remained silent.
Lu Ze's inner alarm escalated again.
This is not like him at all.
He drank the wine in the glass to give himself courage, and then started to curse Zhou Cheng passionately.
Although Su Qingyan didn't want to hear this, he was still very touched that someone always stood by him unconditionally.
But his feeling of being touched did not last long.
After a few drinks, Lu Ze got drunk and his face flushed. He started to feel sad about the passing of time, and brought the topic back to himself. He tearfully asked him why he never had a girlfriend and how miserable it was for him to be single until now.
Su Qingyan was already upset, and she didn't expect that she would have to take care of Lu Ze instead.
What the hell is love? It’s painful if you can’t get it, and it’s just as painful if you get it.
