It's Hard Being the Bad GuyChapter 11

There were a lot of restaurants opened by Chinese in New York’s Chinatown. Wen Ai tried a few of them but he didn’t know if it’s because of psychological reasons or not, he always felt that those dishes were not “it”. The ingredients that were grown in this foreign land lack some kind of taste.

Fortunately, Wen Ai quickly found a newly opened takeaway shop on the internet and it’s close to the university. The taste was almost the same as the food of his favourite small shop at the entrance of his high school. He and Xu Changzhou used to eat there almost every day. They dazedly tasted all of the dishes in the several large pages of the menu. Now that he was abroad, it was very fortunate that he could find a takeaway shop with such a high degree of similarity in taste. It’s like he picked up a treasure. NbJ29K

The delivery speed of this takeaway shop was very fast. The first time, the food was delivered by a burly Caucasian man. He was wearing a black suit and looked serious, nowhere like a takeaway delivery person at all. If he didn’t carry the takeaway bag in his hand, Wen Ai really didn’t dare to open the door.

The man gave the bag to Wen Ai and left. When he turned around, Wen Ai saw a hollow scar on the back of his neck. It looked a bit like a gun scar.

Wen Ai immediately thought of Xu Changzhou, and even suspected that the food was poisonous, so he dared not eat the food for a long time. This was not a suspicion without a foundation. It was because the last time they broke their relationship, Wen Ai had really offended Xu Changzhou. And judging from the difference in the attitude of Xu Changzhou before and after, the offense was huge.

From the second time on, the takeaway delivery person became a little Vietnamese girl. She was dressed in a khaki shop uniform and looked like a simple and honest person, didn’t look sly at all. Wen Ai asked her about the man last time. The little girl smiled at him and said that the man was the shop owner and the shop was too busy that day, so he went to deliver food in person, and the scar on the back of the neck was left by the accident during his military service.

Wen Ai saw that the little girl looked honest and did not seem to be lying. He also felt that with Xu Changzhou’s character, he would just put a sack on anyone he wanted to deal with, and would not do it in such a roundabout way, so the doubt in his heart was quickly put down.

Since then, Wen Ai began to order takeaways with confidence and boldness. When the takeaway shop saw him as a “big customer”, they gave him an extra dessert every time as a reward. Most of the time, they gave him mango mousse.

The friendly and mutually beneficial relationship between Wen Ai and the takeaway shop lasted for three years. During these three years, Wen Ai’s life had been calm. Slowly, Wen Ai stopped worrying about Xu Changzhou’s revenge. He felt that Xu Changzhou might have forgotten such a heartless person like him.

With the psychological burden gone, Wen Ai gradually let go of his rein, made many new friends, and was even invited to go to the bar with them.

Didn’t know where Jiang Cheng heard about this from, he immediately put down the matter in his hands and rushed over.

When Jiang Cheng found the table Wen Ai was at, a group of people was about to play the game of passing poker cards through their mouths. One person sucked the poker cards, and the other took them using their mouth. If one of the poker cards accidentally fell on the ground, the lips of the two people would inevitably kiss each other.

After the game started, Jiang Cheng had been absent-mindedly looking at his phone. Wen Ai sat next to him, and when he saw Jiang Cheng like that, he said directly: “If you have something to do, just go. I’m already an adult. I can handle this kind of occasion.”

At this time, Jiang Cheng’s mobile phone lit up, and a new text message popped up on the screen. Jiang Cheng turned his back and glanced at it, and when he looked back at Wen Ai, there was a hint of sympathy in his complicated gaze.

He shook his head at Wen Ai: “I’ll stay a little longer.”

At the beginning of a new round, the empty wine bottle in the middle of the table spun quickly and then slowed down little by little. When it finally stopped, the mouth of the bottle was facing Wen Ai. LFNzQo

The group of people started all kinds of boos and jeers, slapped the table, and shouted “dare”. There were already a hundred ‘dares’ ideas full of traps waiting for this well-behaved Eastern boy in their minds.

Wen Ai felt such a ‘high’ atmosphere for the first time. The blood rushed to his head, and he chose the ‘dare’ regardless of Jiang Cheng’s obstruction.

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to grab the position of the dare-giver, but this time, everyone did not succumb to his wants. There was a limit to taking care of new friends, after all.

Finally, everyone awarded the position of the person who gave the ‘dare’ instruction to a blonde beauty. The beauty squeezed the pair of balls on her chest and gave Wen Ai an ambiguous look: “You are playing for the first time, so I won’t make it difficult for you. Just do the usual ‘dare’, go out of the bar and confess to the first person you meet.” 8x6EHf

Wen Ai breathed a sigh of relief. It’s just talking to a stranger. After turning around, they won’t know each other anymore.

The beauty smirked and added: “It must be a man.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Oh~~Oh~~Oh~~” Wen Ai walked out of the bar amidst the unkind hoot of the group of people.

This bar had a good location, with the main road outside the door and many passersby on the sidewalk. Ic6o1e

But Wen Ai was out of luck. When he went out of the door, in front of him was the male lead. Compared to passersby, the difficulty had increased dozens of levels.

Three years later, Wen Ai was still that delicate young man with a clean temperament. Even that innocent spirit when looking at other people has not diminished in the slightest.

But Xu Changzhou was different. Three years of hard work had allowed him to fully evolve into a real man–calm, wise, and mature. This was the temperament that could only be gained through cruel fighting. Just standing there was enough to shock people.

Although Xu Changzhou was smiling gently now, Wen Ai could no longer bring up his previous aura. He dare not arrogantly yell at Xu Changzhou again, dare not recklessly bully him, and even dare not raise his head to look at Xu Changzhou. i9WkXE

Wen Ai was now a young rabbit that had encountered a natural enemy. He was panicked, at a loss, and trembling.

The group of people not far behind were waiting for the good show. When they saw that Wen Ai hit a top quality man bursting with male hormone, their interest rose to the apex in an instant, they made ambiguous boos, whistled, and clapped their hands, urging him to finish the ‘dare’ quickly.

Xu Changzhou looked at them, then locked his gaze back to Wen Ai: “You seem to have something to tell me?”

Wen Ai couldn’t even stand, how could he even have the energy to open his mouth? He lowered his head stubbornly and fled back to the bar as if he was fleeing for his life. LdJPWd

Giving up on ‘dare’ means accepting punishment.

Ten glasses of strong liquor were neatly stacked on the table. Wen Ai already felt his liver hurt just by looking at it. He unsteadily stood at the table, and could only hear his own heart beating like a drum.

He felt like a rabbit hiding in the comfortable nest for three years, and Xu Changzhou’s sudden appearance like this was tantamount to lifting his entire nest.

With his mind in chaos, Wen Ai giddily picked up a glass of liquor, and it was snatched by a hand before it was even brought to his mouth. d73Agp

The appearance of Xu Changzhou made everyone restless, and their eyes moved back and forth between Xu Changzhou and Wen Ai ambiguously.

Holding the liquor, Xu Changzhou faced the circle of people around the table and said, “I’ll help him drink.”

The blonde girl made a “wow” mouth shape, and looked at the two people with the gaze as if she was watching a GV scene: “Big handsome guy, you have to double the amount if you want to help him drink.”

Wen Ai also didn’t know where he got the courage from, he stretched out his hand to pull Xu Changzhou’s sleeve foolishly, “Aren’t you allergic to alcohol?” yZe63J

Xu Changzhou tugged up the corner of his mouth at him, raised his head, and drank the glass of strong liquor in one go.
