In his family, Xu Changzhou received a variety of intensive training: strength, speed, bare-hand fighting, marksmanship, and even willpower were required to meet a strict standard.
He was once infused with a large amount of high-concentration alcohol and locked in a small dark room. A strong allergic reaction caused large patches of rashes on his skin and his body became swollen. He began to twitch uncontrollably and intermittently and eventually fell down and fainted on the cold ground, never once looking at the anti-allergic injection on the table from the beginning to the end.
After the willpower training from that time, Xu Changzhou’s tolerance to alcohol suddenly rocketed. Although the doctor said such examples were very rare, he was indeed no longer allergic to alcohol.
But he didn’t plan to tell Wen Ai about this for the time being.
Although Xu Changzhou drank one cup after another very quickly, he did not give the impression of being impatient. All of the jeering people around them were watching the excitement from the sidelines. They beat the tables with their hands in rhythm and shouted: “Drink! Drink! Drink!”.
Wen Ai stared at Xu Changzhou’s rolling Adam’s apple dazedly, and it was not until the waiter brought ten more glasses of liquor before he remembered to stop Xu Changzhou.
“Don’t drink anymore! Hey! Did you hear me?!”
Wen Ai’s voice was easily covered by the loud jeers of the people around him. He stood on his tiptoe to get near to Xu Changzhou’s ear and shout it out loud but Xu Changzhou turned a deaf ear to him and picked up another glass of liquor instead.
Wen Ai was anxious. Twenty glasses of strong liquor were enough for ordinary people to lie down in the hospital, not to mention Xu Changzhou who could not touch alcohol.
Wen Ai gritted his teeth, took the liquor on the table, and began to drink. He drank very urgently as if he was rushing to reincarnate. The overflowing drops of liquor spilled from the corners of his mouth trailed down his jaw onto his neck, making a wide expanse of his collar wet.
As soon as he joined in drinking the liquor, the group of people around the table boiled with excitement. They keep screaming excitedly one after another.
Xu Changzhou began to speed up. Wen Ai eyes bulged out and increased his speed to grab the drink with him too. Before he finished drinking the glass in his left hand, he had already grabbed another glass in his right hand.
It’s a pity that Wen Ai’s body was not meant for drinking alcohol. After one glass, his head started to feel dizzy; after two glasses, his hands and feet weakened, and the speed slowed down; the third glass was more or less his limit; by the fourth glass, he was already swallowing completely by instinct.
When all the twenty glasses of liquor on the table were empty, Wen Ai was already too drunk. He was giggling and hugging the empty glass while standing, laughing happily while hiccupping on the alcohol.
Xu Changzhou who looked fine as if nothing happened took away the glass in Wen Ai’s hand and poked his little nose with his finger: “Drunk already?”
Wen Ai looked at him with hazy eyes, and then suddenly picked up Xu Changzhou’s hand, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at him persistently, his face was even almost touching Xu Changzhou’s arm.
Xu Changzhou held his chin and lifted his head: “What are you looking at?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Wen Ai dazedly opened his mouth and pointed at Xu Changzhou’s face with a finger: “Where are the rashes? Why are the rashes gone?”

He pulled Xu Changzhou’s arm and wanted to walk away, but when he turned his body around, his left foot tripped on his right foot. As soon as he stumbled, his forehead fell towards the direction of the edge of the table. Fortunately, Xu Changzhou hugged him from behind in time.
Wen Ai also didn’t shy away, leaning his body weight directly into the arms of the other, closing his eyes, and falling asleep in a second.
Xu Changzhou’s eyes overflowed with pampering, and he hugged Wen Ai sideways.
The people who have become the background board for a long time have been overwhelmed by the sudden flood of dog food. Now, they not only have their stomachs full of dog food, but their pockets were also even full of them.
It could be seen that Wen Ai was very familiar with this handsome guy who doted on him, so everyone did not stop them.
Xu Changzhou nodded to everyone and left with Wen Ai while hugging him. When passing by Jiang Cheng, his footsteps paused for a moment: “You did well.”
Jiang Cheng looked at their backs, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness, but it was quickly suppressed by a shiver down his spine.
Xu Changzhou took Wen Ai to the hotel, closed the door, rolled up his sleeves, and washed Wen Ai from head to toe before putting him on the bed.
Xu Changzhou sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Wen Ai’s sleeping face. He was sleeping so obediently, not even trembling his eyelashes. Wen Ai had always been sleeping like this. As long as no one moved him, one sleeping position could be maintained all night.
Xu Changzhou remembered the trip in his third year of high school. He always took advantage of Wen Ai and pulled Wen Ai into his arms after he was deeply asleep. The next day he even tricked Wen Ai into thinking that he went into Xu Changzhou’s embrace by himself. Wen Ai was so innocent, and with just a few words, he let go of his doubts and precautions.
Xu Changzhou laughed, then stroked Wen Ai’s tender and smooth cheek with the back of his hand, and murmured: “Stupid puppy, why are you so easily tricked? If you meet someone who harbors bad intentions, won’t you just—”
Xu Changzhou didn’t continue any further. He remembered that he was also a scheming scoundrel, who had even been scheming for six years.
He had been concerned with Wen Ai since he was in high school. Not only was he concerned about Wen Ai’s soft heart, but also concerned when he was pretending to bare his teeth and brandished his claws. Therefore, he stayed by Wen Ai’s side in silence, accepted his temper, tolerated his wilfulness, and even met his various unreasonable demands that had no lower limit.
After enduring for so long, he finally couldn’t help it. He held his feelings in front of Wen Ai, hoping to get a response, but the other party resolutely alienated him. It didn’t matter, he was not afraid of being rejected, but the phrase “Are you worthy” asked by Wen Ai sobered him up.
The gap between them was too great. Family background, wealth, power, and connections were separating them. Only when he had climbed over a position higher than the Zhao family, could he pursue Wen Ai unscrupulously.
Which also means now.
Xu Changzhou leaned over and kissed each side of Wen Ai’s cheek, got up, and left.
The headache caused by the hangover made Wen Ai realize what it was like to “crack his brain”. He looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above his head, rubbed his painful temples, and slowly recalled the events of last night. He only remembered that he had a few glasses of liquor, and then…and then…
He blacked out.
Wen Ai’s body released a cold sweat: “System, I didn’t do anything disrespectful to Xu Changzhou after I was drunk, right?”
The system’s voice was a little empty: “No… right?”
Wen Ai’s heart thudded: “What’s the matter, what happened last night? You say, you say, you say it!”
System: “I said, I said, I can’t tell!”
The corner of Wen Ai’s mouth twitched: “Are you leaving your job again without permission, and playing Snakes all night?”
The system’s silence was its admittance.
Wen Ai sighed: “The two of us will be finished sooner or later.”
On the bedside table was a glass of tomato juice specially made for hangovers, and underneath it was a business card. Wen Ai took a sip of the tomato juice and glanced at the words on the card in passing.
Xu Changzhou
Chief Executive Officer of Stewart Bank
Phone: XXXXXXXXXXX
The mouthful of tomato juice Wen Ai was drinking was almost sprayed onto the business card. He’s so dead. It was actually Xu Changzhou who sent him to the hotel. He didn’t drunkenly throw Xu Changzhou a punch, right? He always felt like he was wandering around the edge of life and death last night…
Wen Ai got up and took a brief wash, changed his clothes, and left quickly.
When he was waiting for the elevator, he looked at the business card in his hand again and couldn’t figure out what Xu Changzhou meant. Could it be that the person had grown up, and his hatred for Wen Ai was gone?
Wen Ai considered this line of thought and thought that it was quite possible. Look at Xu Changzhou’s successful, mature, and steady appearance yesterday, it’s nothing like someone who still clung to old matters. If this was the case, it will be much easier for him to do his missions later.
Wen Ai: “System, isn’t the female lead coming to America as an exchange student soon?”
System: “Yes. It’s your last chance, seize it!”
Wen Ai studied financial economics in the business school. The professor of the major was a person who paid great attention to integrity. He had a wide connection and many resources in his hands. He often provided good internship opportunities for students.
In today’s class, the professor proudly announced that he had two quotas for internships at Stewart Bank, and students who were interested could send their resumes to his email.
There was a commotion in the classroom. After a brief surprise, the students’ hearts began to get restless. Stewart Bank was like a mythical existence in the world of the banking industry. It was very young, but it stood above all of its peers. If you can go there for an internship, your resume will look very good in the future.
When Wen Ai heard the name, he only felt that one couldn’t avoid one’s enemy. Whoever wants to apply there, just apply. He would just hide from a distance.
In next week’s class, the professor announced the identities of the two lucky students. When Wen Ai heard his own name, his jaw fell on the ground.
When did he apply? Why didn’t he know about it!
While holding back the doubts in his heart, Wen Ai had to smile and thank the classmates who congratulated him. Finally, after enduring until the class was over, Wen Ai quickly walked up to the podium and stopped the professor who was leaving with his bag and very earnestly explained the situation to him.
Wen Ai felt that a lot of people wanted this quota anyway. It was not difficult to choose someone to replace him. However, the professor seriously rejected him and said a very long string of words. The main idea was that––I don’t care if your email was stolen or if you sent the wrong email during your sleepwalk. It was all due to your careless management. You can’t use this as an excuse to revoke my application. This is an issue of trust between us.
To sum up in one sentence, you have to go if you want to, and you still have to go even if you don’t want to!
