Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 523: The Heartless Man Is Unburdened
"I, I didn’t, I really didn’t." An Yin stammered, her voice trembling, yet she dared not look at the man’s expression at this moment. As she spoke, she quickly withdrew her hand, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
Bao Shaojin stared at her intently, from the start he had not fallen asleep. The moment the young girl looked at him, the man sensed it. As she moved closer, until her fragrance lingered around his nose, his body began to tense. Thinking of the cold shower he had taken earlier, he knew if they continued to be this close, something would eventually happen...
He was afraid he couldn’t control himself...
And hurt her.
"Then why..."
"I wanted to help you push your hair away, the ends were poking your eyes." An Yin explained before he could question her, afraid he might misunderstand.
Bao Shaojin looked at the girl’s earnest expression, knowing she didn’t have the guts to lie. He actually wanted to tease her a bit more, but he realized if they continued chatting, the nameless desire burning inside him might flare up, so he gave up the thought.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The phone vibrating brought their thoughts back.
Bao Shaojin took out his phone and answered it without speaking.
An Yin sat up straight, the man sitting right beside her. The coarse voice from the other end of the phone was loud, even at a small distance, An Yin couldn’t hear it clearly but got the general idea.
Someone was inviting Bao Shaojin to go out and have fun.
After the man hung up the phone, An Yin pretended to be busy, lowering her head to pick up the remote control and start fiddling with it.
Bao Shaojin looked at her as she played naïve, the corners of his mouth curving into a small smile, "Do you want to go out and play?"
An Yin didn’t think at all, shaking her head like a rattle drum, "No, no, I don’t want to go." After speaking, An Yin bit her lip and shut her mouth.
Was she too straightforward in her refusal? An Yin pondered.
"Reason."
Bao Shaojin’s eyes were calm, his brows slightly cold.
Even though An Yin had known the man for only half a year, with multiple interactions, she had come to understand the man’s temperament. The calmer he chatted with her, the darker his thoughts might be, hinting that he could tyrannize her at any moment.
At this moment, An Yin felt a murderous aura.
Did she need a reason not to want to play?
An Yin quickly thought, and in the next second, she hesitantly opened her mouth, "I have to work part-time tonight, and I just want to rest for a while now."
Ever since she compensated someone with the money in her WeChat, she thought only about earning money besides studying.
Thinking of the place where the young girl worked, the man’s pupils contracted, exuding a menacing aura.
Even though she was shy and timid, the young girl was particularly persistent over money. Bao Shaojin’s gaze darkened, he said plainly, "I’ll be going out for a bit, stay here obediently, an auntie will bring a bowl of herbal medicine soon, drink it all."
It wasn’t an advice, but an order.
Hearing him mention herbal medicine, An Yin remembered the bowl she had before and quickly resisted, "No need, I’m very healthy."
"Should I stay and accompany you while you drink it?"
"No need, I’ll drink it myself."
Seeing her answer so swiftly, Bao Shaojin’s originally bright pupils darkened a little, so the young girl wanted him to leave?
An Yin turned her head slowly, seeing the man silent, she recalled what she had just said, feeling it was inappropriate, but she no longer had the courage to correct herself, especially since she was already intimidated by him.
While An Yin was restless, the man left with a cold face.
An Yin watched the man’s tall figure as he headed for the entrance, and she timidly called out, "Goodbye!"
The man’s steps paused for a moment, his figure proud, and in a flash, he was gone.
After Bao Shaojin left, An Yin felt as if all her strength had been stripped away, her whole body sluggish and listless. She didn’t even want to continue the remaining episodes of the drama, so she adjusted her posture, laying sideways on the sofa, her mind replaying the scene of the two sitting here just moments ago.
Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and people walking on the street still felt a bit hot.
It was the afternoon, and there was not much traffic on the road.
At the same time.
"Qin Land Club."
Lately, the group’s brothers were each despondent, in the most luxurious room at "Qin Land", the attendant kept serving more drinks to the few. Su Nan sat on the left side of the leather sofa, his hand gently swirling a wine glass, shining with a red brilliance under the light, as the dense liquor dropped into his throat.
"Sizzle sizzle..." Su Nan swallowed the wine, once more experiencing the burning sensation of strong liquor down his throat, feeling a hot sensation inside his heart.
In contrast to Su Nan’s indulgence, Lin Yue, in the corner, appeared much more proper, holding his phone with both hands, entirely focused on it, ignoring the sounds of Su Nan’s intoxication.
"Can you put your phone down?" Su Nan’s charming eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Lin Yue, filled with disdain.
"Shut up." Lin Yue crossed his legs, his eyes puffy from obvious overuse, his whole appearance weary.
"Look at you all." Su Nan looked at his friends with a heart full of frustration, theatrically holding his chest, speaking mournfully, "It’s just a woman, and you let it turn you into neither human nor ghost."
"Someone as indifferent as you deserves not to find the woman you love." Lin Yue wasn’t to be trifled with, immediately retorting Su Nan’s mockery. His heart was already filled with bottled-up anger, ready to be unleashed on Su Nan. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Damn... don’t be ungrateful." Su Nan straightened his back, glancing at his friend.
At that moment, Lin Yue’s phone screen lit up, he hastily unlocked it, and upon seeing a "staring" gesture sent by Su Nan on WeChat, he suddenly choked on his own breath, his anger soaring.
"..." Lin Yue.
"Haha..." Su Nan laughed heartily, slapping the table, then signaled to the attendant beside him to refill his glass halfway.
After another drink, Su Nan lazily put his glass down, his expression gradually turning serious, "A Yue, don’t push yourself too hard."
Lin Yue’s body was tense, being longtime friends, they could read each other’s thoughts with just a look.
Lin Yue slightly tightened his grip on the phone, a red mark quickly appearing on his palm, his cool lips pressed together, his eyes drooping, with a hint of bitterness on his distinguished face, "Sometimes I really envy your carefree nature."
Su Nan frowned, "Consider it as a compliment then."
"Heh..." Lin Yue snorted coldly, "Unfeeling people have it easy."
"Hey, don’t let it escalate to personal attacks."
