“…“

Shi Yunnan was silent again and rubbed the tip of his nose.

In fact, since he heard Wen Yibei mention it, he has been trying to recall this matter, but unfortunately, after several years, coupled with him being drunk at that time, he hasn’t remembered it yet.

Shi Yunnan originally wanted to ask Luo Lingsheng for clarification, but now he felt guilty while facing his lover’s rhetorical question, “I just asked casually.”

Luo Lingsheng found Shi Yunnan’s guilty and evasive expression indescribably cute, so he couldn’t refrain from teasing him, “It’s been a long time, I don’t remember too clearly.”

“But I still had some impression of a little drunkard that came out of nowhere and almost threw up on me.”

Shi Yunnan felt suffocated.

Doesn’t this match what Wen Yibei said?

He almost vomited on Luo Lingsheng at that time? Isn’t it better not to have this kind of deep first impression?

Luo Lingsheng looked at Shi Yunnan’s faintly flushed cheeks and continued to tease him, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, I do remember a little. It seems that year……“

“No!”

Shi Yunnan interrupted without even thinking. He quickly covered Luo Lingsheng’s mouth and moved closer to occupy the other party’s lap, “Don’t think about it, it’s been so long ago, what’s good there is to remember?”

Although he’s a good drinker now, good at choosing wine, and sleeps well after being drunk, seven or eight years ago, his alcohol capacity and wine taste can be described by Fu Ziyu’s words—a complete mess, so horrible that one could hardly bear to look at it, and many other jokes.

Shi Yunnan has stayed abroad since he was a child. Because of strict foreign regulations, he had never been exposed to alcoholic beverages before he became an adult. It was not until his eighteenth birthday banquet that he came into contact with alcohol such as whiskey for the first time.

Even if he can’t recall the birthday party that year, Shi Yunnan can guess that he must have been in an indescribably embarrassing state when he met Luo Lingsheng after being drunk.

It’s not a beautiful picture, why do you have to remember it?

Luo Lingsheng stared at Shi Yunnan’s flustered and evasive appearance, and his smile easily came out of his eyes.

He squeezed his lover’s wrist and put it down gently, “You really don’t need me to recall those memories?”

Luo Lingsheng had thought about it. If there was a chance for his legs to get better, one day in the future, he would tell Shi Yunnan about these “past events.” He was certainly willing to reveal some of them now that the other party was willing to ask.

Shi Yunnan automatically assumed that their “first encounter” wasn’t very beautiful. He stared at Luo Lingsheng’s thin lips, and his mind moved to other places for no reason.

Shi Yunnan nuzzled against the man’s nose and hummed, “With this time, we might as well…“

Their lips pressed together almost instantly.

Between their lips and teeth, the suppressed hormones exploded and surrounded the two of them, turning reason into the most instinctive pursuit of desire.

Shi Yunnan was kissed until he was briefly disoriented, and with another blink of an eye, Luo Lingsheng pounced on him with the strength of his waist and abdomen, along with the strength of his strong arms.

Shi Yunnan’s exclamation stopped because of the soft cushion on his back.

Luo Lingsheng moved away from Shi Yunnan’s lips to kiss his eyelashes, and then leaned down bit by bit to recapture the tempting lips.

Those slender good-looking hands began to roam very skillfully. The sounds of their breathing intertwined and smashed together.

Shi Yunnan tilted his head and hooked his arms around Luo Lingsheng, and an incoherent thought came to him.

The legs are not convenient, but the hands are quite capable.

Shi Yunnan thought dazedly, and in a moment of inattention, he bit the man’s lower lip until a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

Luo Lingsheng was in a little bit of pain. He raised his head slightly and let out a helpless and gentle chuckle, “I’m taking care of you, but you bit me this hard?“

After he finished speaking, the strength in his hand intensified.

It didn’t take long for Shi Yunnan to tremble with a whimper, and the haziness in his eyes increased some more.

Luo Lingsheng let him catch his breath for a while, and only when it became unbearable did he rub it up. His tone also became flattering, “Yunnan?”

Shi Yunnan finally calmed down and regained his confidence as “the one in control” when he saw Luo Lingsheng’s unbearable but helpless expression.

“Patriarch Luo, aren’t you very powerful? Why don’t you show me what you’ve got?“

Seeing the other party’s comfortable and arrogant appearance, Luo Lingsheng bullied his lips again.

[Omitted]

The night was getting darker.

After the tossing and turning, the two cuddled and lay on the bed. Today, Shi Yunnan was more used to it than last time. Now he was drowsily leaning against Luo Lingsheng’s arms.

“…Luo Lingsheng.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m sorry that I don’t remember.”

Shi Yunnan muttered before falling asleep, obviously referring to the birthday party that he had no memory of.

Luo Lingsheng heard his long and steady breathing, and laughed softly, “It doesn’t matter, as long as I remember.”

His thin lips pressed against his lover’s forehead, and his thoughts drifted away involuntarily—

Eight years ago, the Wen family held a birthday banquet.

Yu Shuo looked around the layout of the banquet and said to his friend beside him in surprise, “The birthday banquet of the Wen family’s eldest young master is quite elegant, huh?”

Wen Yibei chose a manor on the outskirts for the birthday banquet location. For indoor receptions, there was a banquet hall inside the main house. As for the courtyard outside, a small symphony orchestra was arranged to perform there.

It can be seen that it is more thoughtful than the methodical birthday banquet where you just throw money.

Luo Lingsheng looked around, but did not show much expression.

He didn’t know the protagonist of the birthday party at all. He was only here because an invitation was sent to the Luo family.

Old man Wen used to have some personal contact with his parents, so he was entrusted by his parents to present birthday gifts on behalf of the Luo family’s fourth house to show some formality.

“The gift has been delivered. I’ll go first.”

The protagonist of the birthday is only eighteen years old, and people like him, who have graduated from college and entered society, are not from the same world at all.

As soon as Luo Lingsheng said these words, Yu Shuo forcibly grabbed his shoulders, “What’s the hurry? We’re already here, so let’s stay for a drink. I heard that this young master of the Wen family is famous for his cello, so maybe we’re lucky enough to hear it.“

Yu Shuo forcibly brought Luo Lingsheng in. He was afraid that his friend would feel impatient, so he consciously gave a specific time, “We’ll stay for an hour. When it gets dark at seven, I’ll take you away immediately. “

The two came in the same car, and it was inconvenient to go separately.

Luo Lingsheng looked at his friend, who was enjoying himself, and reluctantly acquiesced to the proposal.

Yu Shuo knew that Luo Lingsheng wasn’t a party animal, so he asked the waiter to bring two glasses of champagne and then took him to the quieter second floor.

The sound of music on the first floor came faintly, and Luo Lingsheng, who was standing on the edge of the corridor on the second floor, hooked his lips, “The selection of music for this birthday banquet is quite different.”

Yu Shuo clinked glasses with him and laughed, “The Wen family is a musical family, so they can’t be worse than anyone in this area.”

Just as his words fell, an elegant, tall, and slender figure walked in. The other party was wearing a pure white suit with only the brand’s delicate logo embroidered in gold thread at the collar.

Soon, the other young guests surrounded him. It was obvious that he was the protagonist of this birthday party.

“Isn’t it a coincidence that his clothing brand is the same as yours?”

Yu Shuo found out about this, and said happily, “I didn’t expect that Young Master Wen’s dressing taste was so similar to yours?“

Both of their clothes come from an Austrian fashion designer, and if Luo Lingsheng hadn’t taken the initiative to mention it, Yu Shuo wouldn’t have known about this super niche brand.

Luo Lingsheng was still leaning against the corridor. His gaze slowly withdrew, and there seemed to be a little more interest in his expression.

Having been together as friends for many years, Yu Shuo naturally sensed the subtle change in his friend, and he asked tentatively, “Do you want to go downstairs and have a look? It’s no good for us to hide here all the time. This glass of champagne is almost finished…“

“Ok.”

Luo Lingsheng answered in an unprecedented manner.

The two walked downstairs side by side, but after a few steps, a frantic quarrel came from the side hall on the first floor near the stairs—

“You have no taste! Shi Yunnan, I won’t haggle over it because today is your birthday! So don’t you dare act arrogant around here!“

Luo Lingsheng subconsciously paused his steps as he stood at the corner of the stairs.

From this angle, he can see the beautiful face of the person in the side hall, who is between a teenager and a young adult.

That person’s hair was a little long, with some curls falling on the side of his neck, looking reckless and casual.

Facing the angry accusation of another teenager in the side hall, his pale red lips pursed into a smile, but the slightly raised tail of his eyes revealed some cunningness, as if he was saying, “What can you do to me?”

“I said I wouldn’t change my mind, and I mean it. The music you chose is so vulgar. Are you not afraid that people will laugh when they hear it? Don’t make Grandpa lose face.“

Luo Lingsheng silently stared at the dispute in the corner, and his eyes swept across the other party’s clothes.

Coincidentally, it was also by the Austrian designer. Young master Wen Yibei’s clothes are from the same series but different designs.

“…..”

The boy standing opposite him got stuck for a few seconds and became angry, “Shi Yunnan, when did the Wen family need you to make decisions? I’ll have the waiter change the banquet hall music later. What can you do to me?”

“Your brother is the rightful young master of the Wen family. Your surname is Shi, and you’re not favoured in the Shi family, so you came to the Wen family to keep up appearances?“

“Today’s birthday party is all for Wen Yibei. Do you think someone knows you? You are a piece of garbage no one wanted since you were a child!“

These words were hurtful, causing the light in the boy’s eyes to dissipate in an instant.

Luo Lingsheng watched the young man named Shi Yunnan quickly walk out of the side hall, and even avoided the greeting of the birthday protagonist, Wen Yibei, and went straight out the door.

Yu Shuo, who saw this scene on the stairs, wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, as if he were talking to himself, “Shi Yunnan? Why does this name sound familiar?“

Luo Lingsheng looked back, “You know him?”

Yu Shuo shook his head and patted his friend’s shoulder, “Okay, let’s go downstairs. They are all people we don’t know, so we don’t need to bother.”

Luo Lingsheng didn’t say a word, collected his thoughts, and went downstairs.

…

Compared with Luo Lingsheng’s calm and quiet personality, Yu Shuo’s was obviously more suitable for this kind of occasion.

Not long after the two returned to the first floor, Yu Shuo mixed into the crowd with a glass of champagne and disappeared in a flash.

Luo Lingsheng felt that he couldn’t get along with these people, so he found a resting area and sat in silence. Occasionally, when some guests came up to talk to him, he only said a few words in a perfunctory manner.

About half an hour later, Yu Shuo, who had had enough fun, came back. He sat beside Luo Lingsheng and said in a low voice, “Guess what I found out?”

“What?”

“The teenager named Shi Yunnan that we just saw on the stairs is Wen Yibei’s twin brother. I heard that their mother passed away early. The older brother, Wen Yibei, was raised at the maternal grandfather’s house, and the younger brother, Shi Yunnan, was raised at the paternal grandfather’s house.“

“And this Shi Yunnan left the country at a young age, and basically never mixed around the circle of these young masters in the imperial capital. That’s why he looked unfamiliar.“

A faint light flashed in his eyes after Luo Lingsheng digested these words.

Yu Shuo got closer and teased him, “I just saw a lot of people coming to you. Have you…“

Luo Lingsheng smelled the alcohol on Yu Shuo and interrupted sharply, “No, don’t worry about me.”

The music in the banquet hall suddenly changed into something loud and disturbing.

“I’m going outside. I’ll wait for you in the parking lot in half an hour. If you don’t come over, I’ll just leave.” Luo Lingsheng got up, said these words, and left the main house without waiting for his friend to react.

In the courtyard outside the house, a small symphony orchestra was performing, and many guests were also gathered under the stage.

Not wanting to be disturbed by anyone, Luo Lingsheng walked around the main house to the backyard while no one was paying attention. Being farther away, the noise in the front yard quieted down a lot.

The night breeze of early summer gently brushed people’s hearts, and a few cicadas occasionally sang from the high branches outside the courtyard.

Suddenly, Luo Lingsheng caught a faint smell of alcohol again.

Before he could find the source of the smell, a drunken and confused shout came from behind him.

“Hey, who are you?”
