Chapter 93

Yang Lei and Fang Mei also had no choice. For their sake, they couldn’t reject them.

“Bridegroom, you’re so not cool! You didn’t even tell us about such a joyous event. We bumped into you today, and we won’t let you off!”

“You two have to be honest. You kept it so quiet. Is it because you got on the bus first and paid the ticket later? Haha!”

A group of classmates started laughing. They would not let go of this chance to tease.

“What do you mean by getting on the bus first and paying the ticket later? You act like I’m like you!”

Yang Lei unnaturally countered with a sentence and glanced at Fang Yu. After these people sat down, Fang Yu made room for them and moved into a corner.

“Stop fooling around! My brother is here. Today is his birthday!”

Seeing Fang Yu being left alone on the sidelines, Yang Lei’s heart felt suffocated.

“Brother, you didn’t see it. The two of them were already together in junior high school! Don’t mention how lovey-dovey they are!”

A classmate said to Fang Yu with a smile.

During junior high school, Yang Lei and Fang Mei were truly very close. Everyone else treated them as a couple. Only they knew what was going on between the two of them.

“Us classmates all said that they are a perfect match. Now, it is finally perfect! Come on, brothers, fill Lei-zi’s cup!”

Without giving him a chance to speak, the classmate got a large glass for Yang Lei and filled it with wine.

“Don’t be crazy. Yang Lei is still on duty tomorrow. He can’t drink too much,” Fang Mei said.

“Ah, drink. The bride’s heart aches before she has even moved in with him! How about this? The two of you drink a big love shot, and we promise to protect your husband from drinking too much!”

A group of people followed in urging: “Love shot! Big love shot!”

Fang Mei was also uncomfortable. She knew that Yang Lei would definitely be filled with anger right now before Fang Yu.

“Chen Hao, if you have the ability, come to me on my wedding day. I’ll drink whatever you want!”

“Why wait until that day? Just today! Fang Mei, you weren’t bashful in the past. At that school dance, didn’t you kiss Yang Lei when you were told to kiss him? In front of hundreds of people!”

“Hey, hey, she’s different now. Her name is Mrs. Yang!”

“Mrs. Yang, if you two don’t drink a big love shot today, then kiss once! If you don’t do anything, then let your husband drink all of the large cups on the table. See if your heart aches or not!”

The group of people clamored again as they started urging.

“Enough! I’ll drink. You all can stop!”

Yang Lei was impatient and stood up to drink.

A group of classmates waited to see a good show. Fang Yu stood up.

“Fellow friends, I’ll present a borrowed gift. I’ve gotten to know so many friends today. First, I’ll toast everyone.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they could only all raise their cups.

Fang Yu drank the wine in the cup and put it down.

“Yang Lei still has to take Fang Mei back later. Today is Valentine’s Day. If he gets drunk and can’t celebrate the holiday, then the bride will blame me. Brothers, please be understanding.”

The group of people understood the meaning of his words, and they all laughed suggestively.

“Reasonable, reasonable!”

“I can’t dampen everyone’s spirits. How about this? Today, all of this wine is mine. I’ll drink it for him. I guarantee that I’ll let you all drink well, okay?”

As Fang Yu spoke, he took the large glass of wine in front of Yang Lei. He threw back his head and drank it all.

“Good! Straightforward!”

It was all about straightforward people at the table. Everyone at the table looked at Fang Yu.

“Lei-zi, your brother is righteous! Very interesting! Come, good brother, fill up!”

Fang Yu’s cup was filled with wine. The classmates were all in high spirits.

“Handsome guy, it all depends on your performance today. Let’s go!”

“Fang Yu!”

Fang Yu didn’t allow Yang Lei to stop him. He already had another cup. Yang Lei came over to intercept his cup.

“That’s enough! His alcohol tolerance isn’t good! Do you insist on being crazy? Go to another place!”

“Lei-zi, you can just protect your wife. You even want to protect your brothers. Is there such a good thing? Otherwise, you can do it yourself!”

The classmates wanted to give the wine to Yang Lei, but Fang Yu stopped them and took it in his hand.

“It’s none of his business today. I represent him.”

“…Fang Yu!”

Fang Yu stopped Yang Lei behind him and downed it.

Later, Fang Yu took all of the wine and drank it down without wasting any words.

Seeing Fang Yu’s stance, everyone at the table was shocked. They could tell that this brother was clearly going to bear it for Yang Lei until the end.

“Good, a real man!”

Seeing that Fang Yu would risk this much for his brother, these people were really admiring. The atmosphere improved, and Fang Yu was not spared. They drank with him one by one. Fang Yu welcomed them all, and finished every cup.

At first, Yang Lei tried to stop Fang Yu, but he couldn’t stop the speed at which Fang Yu was drinking. Later, seeing the way that Fang Yu was drinking, Yang Lei was silent. Yang Lei sat at the table, watching the group of people surrounding and coaxing Fang Yu, without saying a word.

“Yang Lei, go and stop it!”

Fang Mei couldn’t watch anymore.

Yang Lei didn’t move.

Fang Mei glanced at Yang Lei’s expression. Fang Mei also became silent.

Later, when they drank too much, they clamored even more. Men couldn’t do without obscene language.

“Fang Mei, our Lei-zi is a real man. How is it? Can you bear it?”

“Get out of here!”

Fang Mei was annoyed.

“Lei-zi, tell us! Have you done it? Give us a word!”

They all drank too much, and their words started to lose their sense of propriety.

“Don’t fucking get excited, okay?”

Yang Lei furrowed his brows, and his face darkened.

“Be generous! Don’t let your bride lose face, okay? Or is it… not fierce enough? Haha!”

The person speaking was truly drunk.

“Very fierce!”

Fang Mei heard that Yang Lei’s reputation was being damaged, and on impulse, she blurted out.

The whole room burst with laughter…

In the roar of laughter, Yang Lei looked at Fang Yu. On Fang Yu’s face that had gone white from drinking, there was no expression…

“Kiss once!”

Someone pushed Fang Mei into Yang Lei’s arms. Fang Mei lost her balance and fell on Yang Lei.

Yang Lei stood up. The people who were still sober could tell that Yang Lei was really angry.

“Enough, enough. Knock it off. Knock it off…”

Someone was urging.

Fang Mei saw that Yang Lei was about to lose his temper. Fang Mei glanced at Fang Yu, considered for a moment, and held onto Yang Lei and kissed him.

“…!”

Yang Lei was shocked and pushed her away.

In the clamor of the classmates, Fang Yu stood up and walked out of the private room.

Yang Lei saw Fang Yu leave. He pulled away and walked out. Someone grabbed him.

“Don’t slip away?”

“My brother has drunk too much. I’ll go and have a look!”

Yang Lei’s voice was calm. He shook the person away and followed out.

“It’s all right, don’t mind him. Eat!”

Fang Mei called everyone, as if nothing had happened.

Fang Mei was relieved and a little bitter…

In the bathroom, Fang Yu vomited in the cubicle.

He didn’t know how much he had drunk. Fang Yu’s alcohol tolerance was poor. Most people turn red after drinking wine, but the more he drank, the whiter his face became.

According to Fang Yu’s usual alcohol tolerance, Fang Yu had long been drunk. He had dragged himself into the bathroom. When he was drunk, if there was nothing on his mind, he would lose consciousness. If there was something, he would force himself to take action.

When Yang Lei followed him into the bathroom, he heard Fang Yu’s painful vomiting.

Yang Lei silently followed him into the cubicle. He lightly patted Fang Yu’s back. Because of the vomiting, Fang Yu’s back convulsed under his hand. Yang Lei stroked his back without saying anything, stroking up and down.

Fang Yu only drank wine and hardly ate food. Later, he only vomited acidic liquid. Every time Fang Yu vomited, it was like a knife cutting Yang Lei’s heart. He saw how Fang Yu drank tonight. No one knew Fang Yu’s alcohol tolerance better than he did. Fang Yu had long exceeded his limit. It was only by sheer will that Fang Yu had not gone unconscious from drinking.

Yang Lei turned around and went out. He asked the waiter for a cup of warm water and a hot towel. He came in and held the cup of warm water to Fang Yu’s mouth, rinsing his mouth. Fang Yu leaned against the wall and pushed him away, waving his hand to make him go back. Fang Yu was still trying hard to maintain his last bit of consciousness.

“…It’s nothing…”

Fang Yu’s hoarse voice came out of his throat.

“…Go…”

Fang Yu wanted Yang Lei to go back.

Yang Lei looked at Fang Yu, who was bent over. Yang Lei spread out the hot towel and handed it to Fang Yu.

“Go!!”

Fang Yu suddenly raised his face, his eyes red.

Yang Lei stared at him and said nothing. He forcefully warded off Fang Yu’s hand and wiped the hot towel over Fang Yu’s face.

Without saying a word, he wiped Fang Yu’s forehead and the corners of his mouth. He wiped over his thin white face, wiped over his painfully knit brows…

Fang Yu looked at him motionlessly.

Yang Lei took away the towel that had gone cold and silently walked towards the exit to change it.

Yang Lei walked out a few steps and was suddenly pulled back.

He was forcefully pulled into a hug and sank into the overwhelming scent. Fang Yu pressed close to his face and hugged him tightly…

“…Yang Lei…”
