Xi Mohan has always exuded a bone-chilling temperament, as if he is enveloped in coldness all year round, making it impossible to gauge his emotions from his icy face.
Although Lu Jingchen can sometimes be indifferent, he is not as cold as Xi Mohan.
Ever since Lu Jingchen married Song Qiao, he rarely goes out to play in Night City. Sometimes, even if he calls him directly, he wouldn’t come out, either due to being busy at work or worrying about Song Qiao being scared alone at home.
It made him seem as if he had turned into a complete henpecked husband, making even Gu Xicheng wonder if Song Qiao had given Lu Jingchen sedatives.
Raising his hand, Lu Jingchen poured himself a beer and threw an ice cube into it. His handsome face was filled with gloom as he picked up the glass and downed it in one go, drinking recklessly as if he had no regard for his life.
Just as Gu Xicheng walked into the private room, he saw Lu Jingchen silently downing three beers in succession, which left him astonished. He walked over, glanced at the empty bottles, then turned to Xi Mohan and asked, "How much has he drunk?"
Xi Mohan’s expression remained unchanged as he poured himself a drink and added an ice cube, his voice indifferent as he said, "I don’t know, but it’s not enough to kill him." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel✶fire.net
After finishing his statement, he raised his hand and downed the drink in his glass, but unlike Lu Jingchen, he didn’t immediately refill it.
After seeing Lu Jingchen drink another two glasses, Gu Xicheng couldn’t stand it any longer, directly grabbed the glass from Lu Jingchen’s hand, his eyebrows furrowing as he said sharply, "Jingchen, have you lost your mind? If you keep drinking , you’ll end up in the hospital."
Gu Xicheng always knew about Lu Jingchen’s temperament, but he was also very clear about his health. Continuously drinking this way would certainly land him in the hospital for a few days.
Thinking that Lu Jingchen would get angry, Gu Xicheng was already prepared to turn and run.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingchen just looked up faintly, glanced at him expressionlessly, and then leaned back on the sofa, wearing a dark gray shirt, almost blending into the dim environment.
Puzzled, Gu Xicheng turned to Xi Mohan, his lips moved silently as he mouthed to Xi Mohan, "What’s wrong with him?"
Xi Mohan just glanced at him faintly, too lazy to even give him a look and shut his mouth without speaking.
Gu Xicheng looked up at the ceiling, wondering how he ended up befriending someone as cold as Xi Mohan. In the heat of summer, there was no need for air conditioning, which was economical but uncomfortably hard to bear when staying by his side; he really couldn’t understand what Ning Yan’er saw in Xi Mohan.
And then there was Ning Wan.
Glancing at Lu Jingchen, who was gloomy and always emitting a ’keep out’ aura, Gu Xicheng couldn’t help his curiosity and said, "Jingchen, haven’t I seen you in a good mood lately? Oh, right, I heard on the news today that Zuo Yuqing and your wife Song Qiao were injured and hospitalized. The most crucial part is that you appeared at the scene of the incident. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
As soon as Gu Xicheng finished speaking, the man who had been closing his eyes suddenly opened them, turned his head to look at him, his eyes carrying a bone-chilling fierceness like icy arrows shooting straight at him, his pale eyes already tinged with a trace of reddish blood vessels, clearly angered.
Gu Xicheng has never been a match for Lu Jingchen; since childhood, he’s always been the bullied one, not because he was easy to bully, as he could handle others easily enough. In their childhood, he even gathered quite a few followers like a gang leader in a drama, but despite his imposing appearance outside, he’d become a paper tiger in the presence of Lu Jingchen and Xi Mohan.
Although Lu Jingchen appeared gentle and refined, he had been unbeatable in their courtyard since their elementary school days, even five years older children were not his match.
Xi Mohan seldom got physically involved, but once someone offended him, the number of people who ended up outwitted by him in secret was not small. He always had sneaky tricks up his sleeve. When Gu Xicheng first met these two, if he wasn’t beaten to tears by Lu Jingchen, he was schemed against by Xi Mohan, ending up running home to tell his father.
