Chapter 51
"I'm amazing." The drunken man didn't speak much, but he was unusually stubborn, just like a child, insisting on doing what he had decided.
Wang Jin had no choice but to soothe him, saying, "I know you're amazing, but..."
He paused, then continued, "But there's already enough stuff here. Let's go another day."
Wang Jin coaxed and persuaded him, but the man remained unyielding.
"No, it's not enough." The man insisted on going out. Seeing that he couldn't hold him back, Wang Jin simply reached out, pulled him close, and hugged him tightly, burying his face in the man's chest.
The man froze, stopping in his tracks. His shimmering gaze lowered to look at Wang Jin, his light-colored pupils reflecting his image, filled with affection.
Wang Jin's heart skipped a beat. The man's tender gaze seemed to carry an electric current, transmitting through the air and making his whole body tingle as if lightly shocked.
Wang Jin stared fixedly at the man, swallowed hard, and said, "It's true... it's not enough. We're still missing the most important thing..."
The man frowned and asked, "What?"
"You..."
The man paused. Wang Jin tightened his grip on him and said, "We're still missing you."
"Brother Heng, don't go, don't leave. Stay with me, okay?"
The little ger spoke softly, his words pleading, his eyes sparkling like stars—so beautiful it stirred restless palpitations in the man's heart.
The man raised his hand, his fingertips brushing against the little ger's long, dense lashes. The lashes seemed disturbed, trembling slightly as his eyes closed, like a small brush lightly sweeping over his fingertips.
His fingertips tingled, the sensation traveling straight to his heart, making his whole body restless.
Yuan Heng's eyes darkened as his gaze swept over the little ger's soft, pink lips...
He bent down, slowly pressing toward those lips that seemed to be begging for a kiss.
Knock knock.
Before he could reach that intoxicating place, a rapid knocking sound came from the tightly shut door.
Wang Jin's eyes flew open as he turned to look at the door. The man stubbornly turned his shoulders back, as if unwilling to acknowledge the disturbance, and leaned down again.
Wang Jin's heart raced. He closed his eyes, ignoring the noise outside.
Knock knock.
The knocking came again, startling Wang Jin so much that he jumped, causing the man's lips to land on his cheek instead.
The man straightened up, displeased. Wang Jin, blushing, pushed him lightly and said, "I... I'll go see what's going on."
With that, he quickly turned and walked to the door, opening it.
Standing outside was Yue ger, dressed in wedding robes, accompanied by Mu ger and a few familiar gers.
"?" Wang Jin looked at them in confusion.
Yue ger smiled and said, "Ah Jin, the leader caught a lot of fireflies for me. We're going to release them outside, it'll look so pretty! Come watch with Brother Heng."
Fireflies?
Weren’t those the same things the man brought back every night during their wedding days to use as lanterns?
Wang Jin remembered, when they went to sleep, the man would release the fireflies...
Watching them fly out of the transparent banana leaves and fill the courtyard was indeed beautiful, but it wasn’t anything rare or special enough for Yue ger to come knocking on their door like this.
Wang Jin glanced at Mu ger, who gave him a helpless look, signaling that Yue ger had insisted on coming.
Wang Jin pressed his lips together. Is this guy deliberately trying to interrupt me and Yuan Heng?
His expression darkened as he coldly refused, "It's late. Brother Heng and I won’t be going. Yue ger, you should enjoy it with the leader."
Wang Jin deliberately mentioned the leader, reminding Yue ger that since such a romantic scene was prepared by the leader for him, he should focus on spending time with the leader instead of coming to drag them out in the middle of the night...
Or perhaps... the person he really wanted to drag out was Wang Jin’s man.
Wang Jin studied Yue ger carefully. However, Yue ger kept peering inside, as if searching for something.
Wang Jin’s face grew even darker. He pulled the door slightly closed, blocking Yue ger’s line of sight with his own body, and said dismissively, "If there’s nothing else, we’re going to rest now."
Then, just to be safe, he added, "Ah Mu, you should go back and rest too. It’s already past your usual bedtime."
Mu ger smiled faintly and nodded. "I’ll be heading back soon. Lai Yuan is waiting outside."
Hearing that Lai Yuan was nearby, Wang Jin relaxed slightly and prepared to close the door. But Yue ger suddenly reached out and blocked it, smiling unnervingly.
"Don’t be like that! The fireflies are so pretty. If you don’t come, Ah Jin, does that mean you look down on me? Where’s Brother Heng? Let’s bring him too!"
So he did bring up the man.
Wang Jin stared at him. Yue ger was smiling, his bright red lips parting to reveal pearly white teeth that glinted coldly under the pale moonlight. Though his words were gentle, his expression was twisted like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell. A sinister aura coiled up from his feet like vines, spreading across Wang Jin’s body and making him shiver abruptly.
Mu ger and the others couldn’t see Yue ger’s expression, they only saw him trying to push his way inside, as if he wouldn’t leave without seeing Yuan Heng.
