Chapter 21

       Qian Xiaoke admitted that his life was embarrassing from time to time, but he didn’t think it could be this embarrassing.

       It was obviously a very idol drama plot, but it became funny and scary when it came to him.

       Jiang Tongyan was lying on the ground, and he was lying on top of Jiang Tongyan.

       His first reaction was: WTF! Did I hit his little brother?

       Qian Xiaoke found that since the two met, he had to mourn for Jiang Tongyan’s ‘little brother’ from time to time, which was really… subtle.

       “Chairman Jiang, are you okay?” Qian Xiaoke was concerned about him from the bottom of his heart.

       Jiang Tongyan gritted his teeth and said, “You… Get off me now!”

       “Okay, okay, right now, right now.” Qian Xiaoke turned over and rolled off Jiang Tongyan, lying on the carpet and looking at the person lying there, “Are you okay?”

       Jiang Tongyan took a deep breath, reminding himself that murder was illegal.

       “Qian Xiaoke!” Jiang Tongyan suddenly roared. He grabbed Qian Xiaoke’s wrists with both hands at lightning speed and pinned him down.

       Qian Xiaoke was shocked: Is he going to force himself on me?

       He was shocked but soon dispelled this concern because Jiang Tongyan couldn’t get hard and couldn’t r4p3 him, so there was no need to worry about it.

       However, things were unpredictable; some stories didn’t have an ending, and no one knew where the plot would develop.

       Just when Qian Xiaoke was thinking about it, he found that the bath towel around Jiang Tongyan’s waist had loosened because of the previous action. At this point, it was barely holding on and might as well not have been tied at all. Jiang Tongyan’s alluring figure was now completely exposed before Qian Xiaoke.

       He had to admit that he looked really good.

       Everything about him was perfect.

       Qian Xiaoke couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

       Jiang Tongyan, about to explode with anger, suddenly noticed the lustful glaze in Qian Xiaoke’s eyes. His emotions grew complicated.

       “What are you looking at?” Jiang Tongyan said in a cold voice, “Stop drooling!”

       Qian Xiaoke didn’t really want to look, but he couldn’t help it.

       Although he thought Jiang Tongyan had a weird temper, a difficult personality, and a bad brain, his appearance was really impeccable. Whether he was wearing clothes or taking off clothes, he was in line with the image of his dream lover.

       It’s just a pity…

       “What a pity…” Qian Xiaoke stared at him and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

       As soon as he said, ‘what a pity’, Jiang Tongyan immediately felt sad and wronged. These three words were like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

       It hurt.

       He really wanted to kill someone.

       Or, just commit suicide.

       Jiang Tongyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly let go of Qian Xiaoke’s hand as if he had resigned to fate.

       He sat aside and pulled a bath towel to cover himself, with dark clouds above his head, looking utterly defeated.

       “It’s in my pants pocket,” he raised his hand to touch the cigarette on the table, lit it, and took a puff, “You can take it and go.”

       Qian Xiaoke turned to him, watching him sitting there with his bare buttocks sadly smoking, and a feeling of pity rose in his heart.

       The man in front of him, tall and handsome, was so fragile at this moment that he seemed to be broken at the touch.

       I felt pity for him!

       Qian Xiaoke scooted forward a little. Jiang Tongyan looked at him with disdain and dodged to the side.

       Jiang Tongyan dodged, and Qian Xiaoke scooted again.

       Jiang Tongyan dodged, and Qian Xiaoke scooted.

       In this way, Jiang Tongyan’s buttocks were rubbed hot by the carpet, and he was blocked in the corner by Qian Xiaoke.

       “What on earth are you going to do?” Jiang Tongyan said impatiently, holding a cigarette in his mouth, “You’re not going to stop humiliating me, are you? I have my dignity too! This situation I’m in is partly your fault. I’m trying to be nice and not hold it against you, but don’t push your luck!”

       “No.” Qian Xiaoke raised his hand and put his palm on Jiang Tongyan’s knee.

       Jiang Tongyan frowned and looked at his hand on his knee, “I have mysophobia, please take it away.”

       Qian Xiaoke not only did not take his hand away but also put the other hand on Jiang Tongyan’s other knee.

       “Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”

       “Chairman Jiang, I don’t think this is okay.”

       “Yes, it’s not okay,” Jiang Tongyan said, “You finally figured it out? Then hurry up, jump off the building and die.”

       Qian Xiaoke said seriously, “No, I can’t die yet, what will you do if I die?”

       “…Friend, don’t think too highly of yourself. In my eyes, you’re less valuable than a sprig of cilantro.”

       “You like cilantro very much?”

       What kind of logic was that? Jiang Tongyan couldn’t even muster the energy to retort, “I hate cilantro.”

       Qian Xiaoke rolled his eyes.

       “Don’t change the subject, I’m serious.” Qian Xiaoke said, “Have you ever heard of this saying—whoever hung the bell on the tiger’s neck must untie it?”

       “No.”

       “It means that whoever caused the trouble should clean up the mess.”

       Jiang Tongyan was a little upset, “You mean, I’m the mess?”

       Qian Xiaoke said ‘tsk’ and patted Jiang Tongyan’s knee, “Can you focus on the main point? People like you will definitely fail the college exams every year!”

       “Can’t you speak properly without insulting someone?”

       “You!” Qian Xiaoke was also annoyed. He pulled away the bath towel blocking Jiang Tongyan, “Let me treat you.”

       Jiang Tongyan subconsciously covered his part, “Are you trying to mess with me?”

       When he spoke, he had a cigarette in his mouth, and the ash just fell off and fell on his body.

       How to describe this moment?

       Qian Xiaoke took a sharp intake of breath.

       The reason why he had this reaction was because he thought that men smoking naked were very sexy.

       Qian Xiaoke discussed this with Zhou Mo before, and Zhou Mo said, “You probably like scumbags.”

       Zhou Mo told Qian Xiaoke, “A man who truly loves you should hold you and continue to be affectionate after sex instead of smoking with his bare ass. Most of those who only care about smoking after sex are scumbags!”

       Although he said so, Qian Xiaoke still thinks that naked smoking men are very sexy.

       Especially, the ash falls on the attractive muscles, this scenery was just…

       “Is your father Michelangelo?”

       “My father is Michelangelo?!” Jiang Tongyan poked his forehead with his finger, “No. Who do you care who my father is? Does it have anything to do with you?”

       Qian Xiaoke smiled and said, “Chairman Jiang, I’m serious; I’ll cure you.”

       Jiang Tongyan looked into his smiling eyes. As much as he wanted to curse the little brat, he had to admit that the kid was really cute. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh.

       This was why being a sucker for a pretty face was so dangerous.

       “Cure my ass.” Jiang Tongyan reached out to take the towel that was thrown aside, but Qian Xiaoke grabbed his wrist.

       Qian Xiaoke said, “My mother taught me to be a responsible man since I was a child. Since I’m the one who caused this situation, I shouldn’t escape.”

       Jiang Tongyan looked at him coldly, waiting to see what this kid was up to.

       Qian Xiaoke said, “Let me touch you.”

       “Huh?”

       “Anyway, you’re going to be here for another week. I’ll come and touch you every day.” Qian Xiaoke said, “Maybe it’s like a neck issue that requires physical therapy—there’s a treatment period. We both tried so hard to make it stand up before, maybe because the time was too short.”

       Jiang Tongyan felt a chill on his spine, “What are you going to do to me?”

       “I’ll give you a massage,” Qian Xiaoke said, “Let’s try it today. I’ll go by my feelings, and when I go back, I’ll look for study materials online. I will study more, and maybe it will work one time!”

       As he said that, he really stretched out his sinful hand.

       Jiang Tongyan, on the other hand, didn’t react at all. His back was against the wall, a cigarette in his hand, his eyes looking at Qian Xiaoke—colourful fireworks exploding in his mind.

       Qian Xiaoke, “Is this much okay?”

       Jiang Tongyan: “It’s… okay.”

Chapter 55 – Little Loach

Chapter 55: Little Loach

 

When Su Muluo brought Long Ling to the coffee shop, Qiansui happened to stroll out of the staff lounge, glanced at them, and asked, “Are you ready to open today?”

 

Su Muluo nodded and was about to say something when Long Ling squinted and asked, “Why is there a cat here?”

 

Then he looked at Su Muluo and said, “Are you still keeping stray cats outside?”

 

Qiansui: “……”

 

“Sorry, he’s having some issues.”

 

Su Muluo calmly told Qiansui this and then covered Long Ling’s mouth to stop him from speaking.

 

Qiansui looked at the two of them, feeling they were quite odd, and said, “Then be careful.”

 

Then he quickly ran off.

 

After Qiansui left, Su Muluo tried to retract his hand but was grabbed by Long Ling.

 

“What’s wrong with me?” Long Ling asked unhappily. “Why do you always say something about me?”

 

Su Muluo replied, “Because you have issues.”

 

He then gave Long Ling’s head a tap.

 

Long Ling: “?”

 

What’s wrong with this person?

 

He always bullies him!

 

He immediately grabbed Su Muluo’s hand stubbornly and followed him to the bar counter.

 

At this time, the shop had just opened, and there weren’t many customers inside. Su Muluo sat at the bar, glancing at their clasped hands… not very pleased.

 

If it were the old Long Ling, he might have hugged him at this moment instead of just holding his hand.

 

Su Muluo shifted his gaze from their hands to Long Ling’s face. Long Ling looked at him, puzzled, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

 

Then he tightened his grip on Su Muluo’s hand and slightly raised his chin, saying, “Don’t think I’ll let go. If I let go, you’ll run away.”

 

Su Muluo: “……”

 

Su Muluo turned his face away and ignored him.

 

The street outside the coffee shop was noisy, but it was quiet inside. Long Ling stared at Su Muluo’s profile, wondering why this person was always so moody with him.

 

Was it because he had amnesia that he made this person angry?

 

Long Ling actually heard part of the conversation between Su Muluo and the jade pendant spirit earlier. He knew that the spirit referred to Su Muluo as “Phoenix Daren,” which meant that the person before him was indeed a phoenix.

 

This morning, when he woke up, he found this phoenix cuddled in his arms, sleeping soundly… From this, it seemed their relationship should be quite close.

 

So, this phoenix was indeed his wife!

 

Thinking of this, Long Ling became happy again. He had been confused upon waking up because he realized he had forgotten many things—but when he saw the person in his arms, despite finding them unfamiliar, his heart instinctively filled with joy and happiness…

 

He knew he must really, really like this phoenix.

 

So, did this phoenix like him?

 

Long Ling silently watched Su Muluo for a while and suddenly reached out to hug him.

 

The action was very sudden, and Long Ling even felt that the phoenix in his arms seemed startled—then looked up at him.

 

The phoenix’s eyes were very beautiful, like dark jewels. When staring at him without blinking, it almost melted his heart.

 

Long Ling’s eyes gleamed with a smile. He even wanted to kiss the phoenix, but feeling it might be too forward right now, he restrained himself and arrogantly said, “What’s wrong? You’re my phoenix, and if I want to hug you, I will.”

 

He tightened his embrace a bit more.

 

He also wanted to test the phoenix’s reaction, but Su Muluo only looked at him for a moment and then lowered his head as if nothing had happened.

 

Long Ling: “?”

 

Why was there no reaction?

 

Was he happy or not?

 

Long Ling leaned in again, trying to see the phoenix’s expression, but Su Muluo also turned his face away, not letting him see.

 

Long Ling was even more puzzled, staring at Su Muluo for a few seconds, and a thought popped into his mind.

 

Could it be… that his phoenix was shy?

 

Just a hug could make him shy?

 

Realizing this, Long Ling couldn’t help but smile. He blissfully rested his chin against Su Muluo’s hair and rubbed it.

 

His phoenix smelled good and was soft, making him feel very comfortable. The more he hugged, the better he felt and the less he wanted to let go.

 

However, he hadn’t been hugging for an hour when Su Muluo made him stop.

 

Because a customer had arrived.

 

“Boss, long time no see, you’ve finally opened!” The customer, obviously a regular, greeted Su Muluo warmly as soon as he walked in. “One special coffee, three parts sugar!”

 

Su Muluo nodded slightly and said, “Okay, please find a seat you like.”

 

While Su Muluo was making the coffee, Long Ling could only watch from the side. He originally thought the phoenix would let him hug after making the coffee—but was rejected again.

 

“There are customers in the shop,” Su Muluo said. “No hugging.”

 

Long Ling: “…… Tsk.”

 

Long Ling waited unhappily at the side, hoping the customer would finish quickly and leave. But before that customer left, another one arrived.

 

“Boss, where have you been? It’s been so long since you opened!”

 

“Wow, boss, you’re back! I’ve missed your special coffee!”

 

“……”

 

After a busy day at the coffee shop with many regular customers warmly greeting Su Muluo, Long Ling felt extremely annoyed. His entire demeanor was sour; he wished he could just snatch his phoenix away.

 

At 7 PM, Su Muluo closed the shop, feeling a bit happy looking at today’s sales. However, he had originally planned to bring his dragon to familiar places, hoping to trigger some memories. Instead, Long Ling not only failed to recover any memories but also turned himself into a sour dragon.

 

“Why do they all seem so familiar with the phoenix?” Long Ling hugged Su Muluo, clearly unhappy. “Phoenix, ignore them.”

 

Su Muluo comforted him, saying, “They are just my customers. If I ignore them, how will I make money?”

 

Long Ling confidently declared, “The phoenix doesn’t need to make money. I can support the phoenix.”

 

Su Muluo sighed and gestured towards him, “Okay, but where’s the money?”

 

Long Ling was silent for a few seconds before admitting, “Right now, it seems like I don’t have any.”

 

Su Muluo chuckled, finding his forgetful dragon quite naive. “It’s not that you don’t have any now; you didn’t have any before either.”

 

Long Ling: “? Why?”

 

Even though he had amnesia, he still felt like he shouldn’t be broke!

 

“It’s true,” Su Muluo patted his head. “I used to support you.”

 

Long Ling remembered telling him before that he would soon have money… But so far, he hadn’t seen his dragon having any money.

 

After hearing this, Long Ling fell silent again, struggling to accept the fact that he used to be a penniless dragon entirely supported by his phoenix. His expression was deeply conflicted.

 

—Until they returned to their rented room, where he clearly still pondered this matter and asked, “So, did the phoenix buy this house too?”

 

Su Muluo said, “It’s not bought; it’s rented.” Then, with a smile, he added, “The shop is also rented. We don’t have anything right now.”—Apart from the several million in the bank account and those priceless Phoenix feathers, they indeed had nothing.

 

Long Ling was silent.

 

He was probably hit hard by this reality and didn’t say another word until bedtime.

 

After Su Muluo took a shower, he sat on the bed. Seeing Long Ling quiet and unresponsive, he nudged him.

 

Wearing soft pajamas, with his skin still warm and slightly damp, and carrying the pleasant fragrance from the bath, Su Muluo was immediately embraced by Long Ling as soon as he came close.

 

Su Muluo pushed him gently and said, “Move away, you haven’t regained your memory yet, so no hugging.”

 

His pushes were soft and feeble. Long Ling didn’t budge but buried his face in Su Muluo’s shoulder, breathing in his scent.

 

It was fragrant.

 

He liked the Phoenix.

 

Long Ling felt a bit more cheerful, stepping out from the shadow of having no money, and asked, “Why did I lose my memory?”

 

At the mention of this, Su Muluo’s face turned sullen, and he replied, “I don’t know.”

 

Long Ling looked at him and thought his Phoenix-like sulking expression was also quite cute. He chuckled lightly and said, “Did anything happen before this?”

 

Su Muluo fell silent for a few seconds before giving the same answer, “I don’t know.”

 

He didn’t plan to tell Long Ling about the Heavenly Dao, the Golden Dragon, or the matters between the Dragon and Phoenix clans.

 

It wasn’t because these matters were too complicated to explain at the moment, but because… he wanted his Dragon to avoid these issues, leaving him alone to handle whatever happened next.

 

Long Ling wondered, “Nothing happened? That doesn’t seem right.”

 

He always felt that he lost his memory due to something very important… but he couldn’t recall what it was at the moment.

 

Su Muluo said, “I really don’t know.”

 

Not waiting for Long Ling to say anything else, he added, “I’m so sleepy, I’m going to bed.”

 

Then he reached out, turned off the light with a “click,” and buried his face into Long Ling’s chest.

 

Long Ling: “…”

 

He looked down at his Phoenix and, after a few seconds, said, “Alright.”

 

Then he nuzzled Su Muluo’s hair a few times before closing his eyes.

 

The darkness enveloped the room, and Su Muluo, resting in Long Ling’s embrace, was still awake even though his eyes were closed.

 

He was thinking that Long Ling’s amnesia was a very good opportunity for him.

 

Tomorrow, he would take Long Ling back to Su Yuan and have him stay there while setting up another barrier—this way, his Dragon wouldn’t be affected by what would happen later.

 

If he could resolve everything smoothly, he would see Long Ling again; if not… at least, he could protect his Dragon.

 

Su Muluo made this decision quietly in his heart and sighed silently with relief.

 

He fell asleep with this thought in mind, but he had a distant dream that night.

 

In the dream, he was still the Phoenix clan leader from thousands of years ago, with Shuang Li squatting beside him, both of them guarding an egg.

 

This egg was the one Shuang Li had found and given to him back then. It was small when found but was now as big as half an adult’s palm and much smoother.

 

At this moment, the egg was lying on a soft pillow, and a small crack appeared with a “crack.”

 

“It’s hatching, it’s hatching!” Shuang Li exclaimed excitedly. “Could it be that the leader’s cooking really made it hatch?”

 

The Su Muluo from thousands of years ago replied calmly, “I told you I wasn’t lying, and it wasn’t me who wanted to cook it; it asked me to.”

 

Shuang Li said, “Wow! Even before it hatched, it seems to have intelligence!”

 

The two continued to watch the egg, and the cracking sound grew louder as the cracks widened… After a while, a small piece of the eggshell was pushed up.

 

Shuang Li said, “It’s coming out, it’s coming out!”

 

He was extremely nervous, and Su Muluo also focused his gaze, looking forward to seeing the egg he had cared for for years.

 

Before this, he had imagined what the hatched creature might look like. Perhaps it would be some mighty beast, small in size but impressive and awe-inspiring—

 

Then he saw a thin, small, black, and not at all impressive little snake emerge from the egg.

 

Su Muluo: “…”

 

“Oh, it’s a little snake,” Shuang Li said, “all black… No, leader, it doesn’t seem like a snake!”

 

While Shuang Li spoke, Su Muluo had already picked up the “little black snake” in his hands. The “little snake” was soft and curled up in his palm, with two small, soft horns on its head and four tiny paws.

 

Having just been born, the “little black snake” hadn’t opened its eyes yet, but it seemed to have detected Su Muluo’s scent. It clung to one of his fingers with its four tiny paws, rubbing its little horns against his fingertips, making soft, cooing sounds, and being both soft and clingy.

 

Su Muluo looked at the “little black snake” for a while, a trace of a smile crossing his face, and said, “So cute.”

 

“Where’s the cuteness? It’s ugly, not even as cute as our clan’s baby birds.” Shuang Li observed the little snake and said, “But it has horns on its head and four paws. Could it be a dragon?”

 

Su Muluo looked at him and asked, “Are there black dragons in the Dragon clan?”

 

Shuang Li thought for a while and replied, “It doesn’t seem like there are.”

 

Su Muluo looked back down at the “little black snake” clinging to him and said after a while, “No matter, it’s just so cute.”

 

He poked the little horns on the “little black snake,” which clung to him even more stubbornly.

 

Su Muluo’s smile deepened, and he said, “It’s like a little loach…”

 

He thought for a moment and confidently named the “little snake,” “From now on, you’ll be called a little loach!”

 

The “little black snake-loach”: “…”
