The morning after a hangover is always particularly difficult. Xu Qingzhou felt his headache was about to explode before he even opened his eyes.
A good night's sleep did not relieve his fatigue at all. He felt lazy and just wanted to continue sleeping. However, the bed, which was usually at a suitable temperature with the air conditioner on, seemed too hot today.
Xu Qingzhou reached out to touch the air conditioner remote control beside his pillow in a daze, but instead of the remote control he touched a real man.
The touch of his hand was warm, obviously human skin, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly. When Xu Qingzhou opened his eyes, he saw Fu Qian still sleeping beside him.
Fu Qian's hair was messy and hung loosely in front of his forehead. His glasses were thrown on the bedside table beside him. A little bit of his bare shoulders was faintly visible on the quilt. His brows were furrowed and he looked like he was not sleeping well.
On the other hand, his shirt, pants and other clothes were still there, although they were wrinkled, but he had probably rolled around in bed. Apart from the fatigue from the hangover, his waist and legs didn't hurt, and he looked much more energetic than Fu Qian.
Xu Qingzhou's brain was forced to restart, and he sat on the bed blankly looking at himself and the half-naked man beside him.
So, last night, he probably got drunk and went wild with his animal instincts, and...
"Xiao Li, please bring me two new sets of clothes, and... some ointment to reduce swelling, and buy some light breakfast." Xu Qingzhou stood at the door of the hotel room, secretly glancing at the man who was still sleeping inside, while quietly calling his assistant.
The surrounding environment is quite familiar. It should be the hotel above the Qian family’s banquet venue last night.
"Send it to the Qian family's hotel, room 1602. Tell me when you get there... Don't knock on the door."
After the phone call ended, silence returned to the huge suite. Xu Qingzhou stood at the door, leaning against the wall as if his feet had taken root, not knowing whether to go in or leave.
Going in was afraid of waking Fu Qian. Xu Qingzhou felt that he was not ready to face him. He had clearly meant to apologize to him last night, but in the end, he repaid kindness with resentment. If there were any, it would be even worse. Xu Qingzhou could not get over the hurdle in his heart. What kind of man is he if he can't take responsibility?
…
In the bedroom, Fu Qian reached out to pick up his glasses and put them on. He was a little surprised to see that the seat next to him was empty.
Xu Qingzhou was very drunk last night. He neither spoke nor listened. He just held him tightly. Fu Qian was kind enough to send him back to the driver. Unfortunately, little Xu seemed to be dependent on him and he couldn't get rid of him. He could only half-hugged and half-carried him to the suite upstairs.
The drunk Xu Qingzhou was completely different from his usual self. It would be more accurate to say that he had turned into his younger brother, spoiled and pretentious. He insisted on going to the bathroom to take a shower. After entering the bathroom, he pointed the shower head at Fu Qian, sprayed him all over, and then did not wash himself.
It was even more troublesome when sleeping. Xu Qingzhou held Fu Qian's arm tightly and would not let him leave. Even though his clothes were soaked, Fu Qian simply gave up struggling and lay on the bed, letting him hold him. In the end, he fell asleep unknowingly.
"You...you're awake?"
Xu Qingzhou walked into the bedroom carrying the steaming porridge. His face, which looked pale from sitting in the office for many years, was a little red from the smoke.
Fu Qian hummed, sat up and looked at him.
The quilt slipped off, revealing the man's strong and solid body. Xu Qingzhou awkwardly turned his eyes away, but still couldn't help but peek. Fu Qian's figure was much better than his, and as No. 1, it was a little embarrassing.
Xu Qingzhou shook his head, throwing the mess of No. 1 and No. 0 out of his mind, "I'm sorry about what happened last night. Are you feeling uncomfortable now..."
"I'm fine. Just consider it a good deed I did last night. Mr. Xu, don't worry too much."
I guess I'm still not interested in him...
Xu Qingzhou felt inexplicably depressed, but he still handed the porridge in his hand over, like offering a treasure, "Would you like to drink some porridge first? I asked my assistant to bring the new clothes, they are in the bag."
The porridge that was approaching was gently pushed away. The movement was not large but the rejection was obvious.
Fu Qian took the clothes and nodded in thanks. "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your kindness. I have other matters to attend to at the law firm, so I'll be leaving now."
"Oh, okay..." Xu Qingzhou handed him the bag of medicine and stood there in a daze watching him put on his clothes neatly.
The sound of a door closing brought Xu Qingzhou back to his senses. The porridge in his hand was still hot, and his fingertips, which were close to the box, were slightly red from the heat.
For some reason, Xu Qingzhou always felt a little aggrieved.
After leaving the hotel, Fu Qian went straight to the parking lot. When he sat in the driver's seat, he remembered that there was a paper bag next to him, which Xu Qingzhou had handed to him.
Anti-swelling ointments and anti-inflammatory medications.
Holding the two medicine boxes, Fu Qian was a little dazed. Was Xu Qingzhou afraid that he would get angry?
…
Fu Qian hasn't taken any cases recently because of the dating variety show, but the law firm still has a lot of things that require his attention. In addition, he didn't sleep well last night, so Fu Qian exuded an undisguised irritability.
"Boss, someone from the Xu Group has come to discuss cooperation. Would you like to meet him?"
The person who came was an apprentice of Fu Qian, named Chen Yang. He had just graduated and didn't look very smart.
"Let Xuzhou negotiate. If they insist, there's no need to push it any further."
"Okay! Also, Boss, that..."
"Just say it if you have something to say," Fu Qian pinched the bridge of his nose. When he was handling work in the morning, the image of Xu Qingzhou watching him leave always appeared in front of him from time to time. He stood there with a bowl of porridge in his hands, looking helpless, like a little deer, and not like the big CEO who managed Xu's company alone.
"It's just that someone sent you a gift, an errand run in the city, a small cake and a bouquet of flowers."
Fu Qian's breath caught in his throat. "A fan of a dating show?"
"No..." Chen Yang's expression was complicated, "It seems to be Mr. Xu."
“…Bring it in.”
Soon, an exquisite cake and several wrapped flowers were placed on Fu Qian's somewhat old-fashioned mahogany desk.
Fu Qian didn't know much about flowers, but he thought they were beautiful. He weighed them in his hand and placed them in a corner of his desk.
There was also a card stuck on the cake, with very delicate penmanship. If the words written on it were not so bizarre, Fu Qian might have appreciated it.
"I hope you can give me a chance to be responsible for you"
Okay, now I know why Chen Yang looked constipated just now.
Fu Qian held the card in his hand, thinking. Could it be that Xu Qingzhou thought they'd had sex last night after drinking? Judging from his attitude, he seemed to think he was the one being bullied.
A chuckle suddenly rang out from the silent office.
