Chapter 49 Do you like him?
The sound was so loud, coming from the second floor, that it startled housekeeper Li who was just coming out of the kitchen.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that something bad was going to happen. The old man picked up the bowl of hot soup and quickly went upstairs.
"Ouch! Xiao Che, why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Butler Li was startled again as soon as he pushed open the door.
Ning Che stood naked on the ground, his hands hanging at his sides, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with anger as he stared at the shattered mirror.
He wasn't angry that Fu Chengyun slept with him. This was a matter of mutual consent, and although he wasn't as skilled as the other, he was willing to do it.
But he was angry at Fu Chengyun for his despicable means. He took advantage of his confusion and forced him to drink, just to take advantage of his misfortune and win unfairly!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got! He grabbed the mirror with both hands and was about to smash it to the ground!
“Stop! Stop!”
Butler Li rushed over before he could put down the bowl, and used his other hand to stop him, so anxious that his tone was pleading.
"Grandson! Please let me live a few more years!"
Ning Che treated Butler Li as his own grandfather, and seeing how anxious he was, he couldn't bear to make him angry anymore.
He slammed the mirror to the ground, making a loud "bang".
Only then did Butler Li breathe a sigh of relief, put the bowl on the coffee table, turned around, found pajamas in the closet, and draped them over Ning Che's shoulders.
After completing the whole process, the elderly man who used to walk with a slight limp became much more agile.
"Be good and put on your clothes first."
The pajamas were baggy, and some bright red marks could be seen at the collar.
Butler Li turned slightly to the side, avoiding his gaze.
Ning Che didn't care much about it. After putting on his clothes, he grabbed his collar and complained to Butler Li.
"Look at what that bastard Fu Chengyun did to me!"
"Why are you two showing me your secrets!" Butler Li put the bowl on the small round table next to the sofa and reached out to hold his clothes. "Hurry up and put on your clothes."
Ning Che plopped down on the sofa, gritting his teeth. "He got me drunk and then took advantage of me! Despicable!"
"Wait until he comes back, and see if I—"
"Alright!" Butler Li quickly silenced his angry words with a hangover soup. "Don't try to take advantage of others. If it weren't for Cheng Yun yesterday, you wouldn't have come back."
"Hmm?" Ning Che hummed with a puffed face while holding a big mouthful of soup.
Butler Li walked to the window and opened all the windows to let the wind blow away the smell of alcohol in the room.
"You drank too much yesterday and vomited all over Cheng Yun. Cheng Yun was afraid you would fall, so he stood on your vomit for about half an hour."
"Ah?" Ning Che swallowed the soup and opened his mouth wide.
He wasn't surprised that Fu Chengyun could be so protective of him, he was surprised that he could spit on him. "Am I so embarrassed?"
Butler Li slapped him lightly, then sat on the sofa and lectured him.
"You heartless person, why do you care about shame or not? Cheng Yun is in such a state, but he still has to hold you, holding his arms straight, not letting you fall, and not letting you get your vomit on him."
"He stood there for half an hour without moving or shaking. I felt tired just watching him."
"So when you arrived, he was wearing pants." Ning Che raised his head and asked.
"Ah, yes." Butler Li stuttered as he saw Fu Chengyun's buttocks with his underwear half pulled up before his eyes.
Ning Che's eyes lit up for a moment, and he grabbed Butler Li's arm and asked, "So he doesn't have that, that, me?"
"Of course, you are so smelly! Who normally would be interested in you?" Butler Li was so angry that he stroked his chest.
He was not in a position to discuss the couple's private affairs. He abruptly changed the subject. "My goodness, how much alcohol did you drink? It's so pungent! It hurts my eyes."
“Quite a lot.”
Ning Che was only happy for a moment, but when he heard the disgust in Grandpa Li's tone, he lowered his head lower and lower.
His long hair fell to his legs. Butler Li couldn't see his expression and thought he was blaming himself. He comforted him, "Okay, wait until Cheng Yun comes back. If you behave better, this matter will be over."
Turn the page?
Fu Chengyun could turn over, but he couldn't.
It's really embarrassing.
Since he became the head of the sect at the age of sixteen, he could not only make the wind and rain come to his name, but at least he held great power and had the final say in the sect.
Even when it comes to Fu Chengyun, he does everything in a decent and arrogant manner when it comes to showing off.
When has it ever been so conspicuous?
As a man, being at a disadvantage in this kind of situation already makes him lack in masculinity, and he even vomited at the last moment!
Ning Che pulled his hair in worry.
Will Fu Chengyun think that he is not capable enough?
Butler Li struggled to rescue a few strands of black hair from his hands and helped him straighten his hair. He said earnestly:
"Cheng Yun is doing this for your own good. He's afraid someone might take advantage of you. His attitude and behavior might be a little extreme, but his intentions are good. Ask yourself, after spending over a decade in secret, the only person who can be truly open and honest with you, besides me, is he?"
That's true.
When he was young, Grandpa Li died in Xu Jia's conspiracy to save him, and he was the only one left in the huge demon sect.
The young child's warm heart has been trapped by a thick layer of ice since then.
Without a heart, he became murderous and lawless. Decades ago, he thought there was nothing wrong with being cold-hearted and cold-faced. At least it could make him feared by everyone and save his life.
Unexpectedly, the ice and snow that had been in the body for so long were melted by Fu Chengyun in just a few days.
Ning Che nodded obediently, "He's the only one left."
"Yes! It's wrong for Cheng Yun to force you to drink. But don't you think about how he treats you and how you treat him?" Butler Li felt annoyed when he saw the young couple quarreling every day and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Cheng Yun is not much better than you. His mother died early, and his father doesn't treat him as a human being. In such a family, you either climb up or you are abandoned. It has been very difficult for him over the years."
Ning Che raised his head, looked at Butler Li intently, and listened attentively.
He thought Fu Chengyun was a local tycoon who inherited his father's business, with all the cunning and calculating businessmen. But he didn't expect that he was actually a pitiful person.
"Hey, the other children in the Fu family still have a mother! He's been alone for so many years. I can see that he has no other thoughts, but only longs for a close friend and a home."
"Home?" Ning Che stared at the big bed and said repeatedly.
He once thought that the Demon Sect was his home, so he hated it. Later, he thought that Grandpa Li's small kitchen was his home, so he protected it.
Later, he was homeless.
The Demon Cult became a thing in the palm of our hands, but it was just a thing.
The word "home" completely disappeared from his mind the day Grandpa Li died.
Housekeeper Li saw his confusion and stroked his head, saying, "Yes. Cheng Yun really likes you and wants to live a good life with you. But you don't even respond to him, and rarely even give him a good face. He just feels insecure and wants you to say it for sure."
"Are you sure?" Ning Che turned to look at Butler Li and said in confusion, "I told him a long time ago!"
"Really? Did I guess wrong?" Butler Li hesitated. "No, it shouldn't be possible. I watched Cheng Yun grow up, and I know him well."
He rubbed his beard and thought: "What did you say to him?"
"Just tell him I won't hit you again." Ning Che tilted his head, as innocent as a newborn animal. "Tell him not to be afraid of me."
Butler Li: ...
He finally understood why Fu Chengyun couldn't control his temper.
Butler Li knocked Ning Che on the head and said angrily, "I mean, do you like him?"
