Chapter 86 Hesitation in the Previous Life
All the words and anger were blocked by one sentence.
Chen Xiliu's eyes fell on Qi Yan's right hand. He always thought he was calm enough, but when he saw Qi Yan's care for Jiang Yuqing on the cruise ship, he almost couldn't control his emotions several times.
He thought he could ignore it, but when he thought of Jiang Yuqing holding Qi Yan's arm and introducing him to everyone as his "boyfriend", Qi Yan bought him ruby earrings that symbolized love, and didn't care about the injury on his right hand and made him drinks...
Chen Xiliu felt that the string called "reason" in his brain was about to break.
"Is there anything else?" Qi Yan asked.
Shen Xiliu stared at him somewhat numbly, wanting to ask Qi Yan how long he would continue to want to take revenge on him?
He's already trying his best to make amends.
It's too bad, Shen Xiliu thought, whether it was the false reconciliation before the fireworks or the default couple when they were abroad, it made him feel extremely happy. As a result, he was thrown into the abyss again when he came back. Qi Yan gave him hope, but then shattered his hope, which brought him a strong psychological gap. Chen Xiliu had never tasted such despair and resentment.
A whip and a candy?
But Shen Xiliu didn't dare say it out loud, for he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and say something hurtful, and then their relationship would completely collapse.
So, just be patient.
"My pheromones are a little out of control." Chen Xiliu said with his eyes downcast, "Come to my room."
He would not give Qi Yan to anyone else, nor would he let Qi Yan go to find Jiang Yuqing. There were only a few days left in the three months previously agreed upon. Once he left the luxury cruise ship, perhaps Qi Yan would leave him completely.
In this limited time, he will definitely think of a way to make Qi Yan stay by his side forever, no matter what, no matter what means...
"Qi Yan, didn't you sleep well these days?" After five days in a row, Jiang Yuqing noticed that Qi Yan seemed a little tired and thought he was not used to the environment on the cruise ship.
"No, on the contrary, I slept very well, very soundly." Qi Yan said quietly with an expressionless face as he ate oysters and drank health-preserving water soaked with wolfberries.
It’s just that Shen Xiliu is too difficult to deal with. It’s impossible to leave his room unless you make him faint. Even the most powerful alpha would be exhausted after doing it for five days straight. Every time he wanted to stop, Shen Xiliu would laugh at him and ask if he couldn't do it anymore.
Qi Yan: “…”
As a normal alpha, he refused to admit that he was incompetent. In order to maintain the dignity of the alpha, he was detained for five days and had no time to find other people.
"Oh, then would you like some grilled lamb chops? They taste really good here." Jiang Yuqing suggested.
“…Yes.”
…
"slightly."
In a health restaurant, You Yi stuck out his tongue, drank a few gulps of water, and complained in a low voice.
"This health-preserving soup tastes terrible. It's better to boil it for two days and then go to a special store to eat it after getting off the ship. Why do you suddenly want to drink it?"
"Come whenever you want, and mind your own business." Shen Xiliu had a cold face and drank the health-preserving soup slowly. There were still two days left.
You Yi glanced at him and said, "You look fine. Do you really need to be so careful? You're almost catching up with my dad. Are you living a healthy life of middle-aged people in advance?"
"Eat and talk less." Shen Xiliu finished his soup and wiped his mouth gracefully.
You Yi muttered, "You are so boring. You have come to the cruise ship to play, but you stay in the room all night for nothing. What's the point? It's obviously more lively and fun at night..."
There are only two days left, and Chen Xiliu is really a homebody. Even after arriving at the sea, he has no interest in going out to play. Originally You Yi thought that Shen Xiliu would continue to stay in the room tonight, but he was unexpectedly called out by him. He thought he was finally going to have a nightlife, but when he arrived at the casino and noticed someone, he realized what was going on.
You Yi glanced at the casino, pulled Shen Xiliu, and said with a flattering smile: "Cousin, no matter what, you should be serious tonight, don't just focus on watching Alpha, let's go play some poker, I will give you all the money, help me earn some pocket money..."
After he was kicked out of his home, all his property was frozen. He had to eat and drink for free during the few days on the cruise ship. It was a rare opportunity for him to come here, so he was tempted to earn some pocket money. Anyway, if he wins, it’s his turn, and if he loses, it’s his turn. He has no money but his life.
"Go away."
Shen Xiliu was not interested in paying attention to him. He had no interest in these things, but You Yi curled his lips and saw that he was dithering, so he skipped him and went to greet Qi Yan and Jiang Yuqing with a smile, asking them if they wanted to play poker.
This time, even if Shen Xiliu didn't want to, he had to follow.
"Brother, let me tell you, if you want to steal someone's girl, you have to take actual action instead of just watching from behind..." You Yi came over with a shameless face and said that he had created the opportunity for him.
Shen Xiliu frowned slightly, not liking the way he spoke, and sneered: "Smart as he is." The relationship between him and Qi Yan was not what You Yi imagined.
His cold eyes swept over Jiang Yuqing who was wearing a red dress. He was dressed quite dazzlingly tonight, and he also wore the ruby earrings that Qi Yan bought for him. They sparkled under the gorgeous light of the crystal chandelier, which made Shen Xiliu feel more blocked in his heart.
Shouldn't have come.
Shen Xiliu and You Yi happened to be sitting opposite Qi Yan and Jiang Yuqing. The two of them greeted each other and were like a sweet couple chatting and laughing together, which had a great impact on Shen Xiliu. In the past, they had at least maintained a distance between them, but now they were so close that Chen Xiliu regretted it so much.
"Brother, be serious and don't be distracted!" You Yi found that Chen Xiliu was a little absent-minded. Seeing that he had lost a game and his pocket money was gone, he quickly lowered his voice to remind him.
Please, take a closer look. Those two are still paying attention to the young master of the Luo family from time to time. Considering that I heard before that the Jiang family wanted to form an alliance with the Luo family, maybe they are deliberately acting for Young Master Luo!
Shen Xiliu couldn't listen, but when he saw Jiang Yuqing win and Qi Yan looked at him with a "doting" expression, his brain calmed down.
He didn't want to see such a disgusting scene, so he quickly observed the situation and began to deal with it calmly.
The originally relaxed situation became serious. Shen Xiliu seemed to know everyone's cards in advance and could accurately predict the opponent's every move, leading the changes in the game. He controls the rhythm of the game, giving and taking, arousing the competitive spirit of others, and when he sees an opportunity to win, he completely crushes them in the next moment.
After several rounds, everyone looked at each other in dismay, except You Yi, whose smile was brighter than a flower.
"Luck!" You Yi loved Shen Xiliu so much that he knew he wouldn't want any. He grabbed the chips on the table and was as happy as a kid who had never seen hundreds of thousands of dollars. "So lucky!"
A young man wailed, "Young Master Shen, you don't have to treat us like R countrymen, right? I have lost all my chips."
"Three things a person should do in life: stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs!" said another young master of the Wang family with a serious face, but he couldn't help feeling melancholy.
For the love of studying law, he was kicked out of his home earlier than Youyi, and his pocket money was not much more than Youyi's.
“Hahaha, Zhou Chengfeng, Wang Qingxian, don’t cry! My brother gave you a break. Those arrogant R countrymen lost hundreds of millions.” You Yi said with a smile, “It’s just a few hundred thousand. Don’t take it so seriously!”
In fact, they are just playing among acquaintances, and the total amount of money they make is only a few hundred thousand. You have to know that the normal amount of money spent in these card games is hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Jiang Yuqing was very happy and had a lot of fun. When he heard You Yi's words, his eyes lit up: "I've heard about this too!"
"It happened three years ago, right? I heard that those chaebols were so arrogant when they came, but in the end they lost so badly that their faces were all over the Pacific Ocean! My grandfather even brought up this matter during the Chinese New Year so that we could learn from it!"
Having said that, if anyone in their family dares to openly become addicted to gambling, his hands will probably be chopped off! Back then, it was the other party who provoked first, so Shen Xiliu played a few games with them, but he didn't expect that he would make the other party lose their mentality.
Jiang Yuqing was well aware of the dangers in this regard. After all, not everyone had the brains of Shen Xiliu, who could calmly and accurately calculate people's hearts and the game of cards, and was good at retreating to advance and setting traps for others. Every time the enemy thinks they are about to win, they actually fall into a trap. When the adrenaline surges and makes people stay in an excited state and unable to stop, Chen Xiliu can easily turn the tide and make the opponent lose all their chips.
Jiang Yuqing looked at Chen Xiliu with admiration, completely forgetting about the Yi family, and whispered to Qi Yan: "If Chen Xiliu goes fishing, he will definitely be a good fisherman and will never come back empty-handed."
Qi Yan listened carefully, but his expression didn't care, and he didn't look at Shen Xiliu, and said in a calm tone: "It's really amazing."
Shen Xiliu's ears moved slightly, and his slender fingers naturally crossed together and rested on his legs. Hearing this, he flicked his fingers lightly a few times.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing. You Yi laughed and said proudly, "Of course, my cousin is amazing! Not only the incident three years ago, but also the incident two years ago that changed the domestic medical industry..."
You Yi happily mentioned what Shen Xiliu had done, but his eyes kept paying attention to other people from time to time.
Qi Yan on the side was talking to Jiang Yuqing in a low voice, and they stood up, said hello to everyone and left first.
His mood instantly plummeted, Shen Xiliu's hands slowly tightened, and his eyes became uncertain.
People's patience is limited. Chen Xiliu has always been good at restraining himself, but when his emotions exceed his rational level, it becomes difficult to control them. He reached out and touched the collar under his collar, feeling a little suffocated. The pheromones in his body had never been stable since he got off the cruise ship.
I have clearly had sex with Qi Yan, both with and without a condom, but it seems that I can't stabilize his pheromones no matter what. Is he too anxious?
Shen Xiliu pondered and let You Yi go to exchange the chips by himself. He left first and sent a message to Qi Yan, asking him to come to his room, but he never received a reply.
In the past, even if Qi Yan didn't reply, he would reach him within ten minutes, but not tonight.
Even if he dialed the phone, Qi Yan's phone was not connected. Shen Xiliu sat on the bed, looking more and more anxious, biting his nails, and pacing in the room repeatedly...
Why didn't you come?
Why didn’t you come? Why didn’t you come?
Why didn't you come, why didn't you come, why didn't you come...
In the end, he couldn't help but walk out, and Shen Xiliu wanted to find Qi Yan. Their room was not on the first floor, so they went to the deck where Qi Yan was. They paused for a long while in the middle before knocking on the door, but there was no response.
Is she not in the room, or does she not want to open the door for him? Could it be that Qi Yan was unhappy because he won against Jiang Yuqing and others in the casino just now? Or did he do something wrong again? So Qi Yan didn't want to see him...
Shen Xiliu lowered his head and thought. As more and more ideas came to his mind, he became flustered and his nerves became more and more tense. He bit his thumb unconsciously without even noticing that he had bitten his finger. Fine beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and his pupils trembled slightly...
He also wanted to find someone to open Qi Yan's room and ask clearly, but halfway through, he remembered what Qi Yan had warned him about and hesitated. Shen Xiliu didn't know how many times he had called Qi Yan or how long he had been thinking about it, but he finally gave up and glanced at the time. It was already four o'clock in the morning.
Only then did he give up. Shen Xiliu calmed down and sent a few more messages to Qi Yan to explain. He still received no reply, so he could only go back to his room first.
Then, he saw Qi Yan walking out of Jiang Yuqing's room, looking very tired.
Shen Xiliu was completely stunned.
When Qi Yan raised his eyes, he saw Shen Xiliu standing silently in the corridor. The two looked at each other quietly, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell.
Late at night, when an AO couple is in the same room, it goes without saying what will happen to them.
According to what was agreed at the beginning, Qi Yan didn't need to explain to Shen Xiliu, but looking at his expression at the moment, Qi Yan rubbed his brows and said, "Don't get me wrong, he's not feeling well, I'm just taking care of him, I didn't do anything."
“…”
Shen Xiliu came back to his senses after a while, lowered his eyes and nodded, his expression and tone were strangely calm: "I can see that."
He knew very well what expression Qi Yan would have after he did it.
"...Okay, since you haven't misunderstood, I'll go back to my room first." Qi Yan said hesitantly. He had been taking care of Jiang Yuqing, who had suddenly vomited severely, for most of the night. He hadn't taken his medicine yet, and everything he saw was double. He had neither the mood nor the energy to do anything else.
“…”
Shen Xiliu remained silent, staring at his receding figure, his eyes cold and dark.
Nothing really happened tonight, but what about the past and the future? Shen Xiliu found that he could no longer continue to deceive himself and ignore things that could not be ignored.
Qi Yan and Jiang Yuqing are now true lovers. Jiang Yuqing can hold Qi Yan's arm with a smile, can freely tell everyone that Qi Yan is his boyfriend, can do anything to him, and Qi Yan will not be angry...
He and Qi Yan now only have a verbal contract. They are not even lovers, but no different from sex buddies. Moreover, even this contract is about to expire.
Qi Yan would not stay with him, his attitude was clear from the beginning.
He just wanted to take advantage of Shen Xiliu to take revenge on the Yi family and Shen Xiliu. Now that the revenge was over, Qi Yan had no reason to stay with him, but he insisted on not wanting to break the spirit of the contract.
"Then there's no need to hesitate."
Chen Xiliu returned to the room, took a shower, and slowly wiped his hair. His wet black hair was dripping with water, and his pale cheeks were slightly red due to the heat, making him look even sicker. The corners of his mouth were raised, and crazy and turbulent dark emotions surged in his cold eyes.
