Winning the Male Lead - Chapter 10

A blue light filled the private room of clubhouse Blue Moon, Le Tian sat in the middle of the crowd, leisurely raising his leg and taking glass, after glass of the wine poured by others. His face was full of contentment as he evasively responded to others’ probings.

Beside him, Xu Tao saw his face turning red and reached out to pull him, whispering, “Drink less.”

Lu Tianning had been watching them and quickly handed Le Tian another cup of bomb shot, saying, “What are you saying? Going all out is what we can call as having fun.”

Le Tian nodded with a smile, “Indeed.” He took the cup and sweetly smiled at Lu Tianning, “Shall we have one together?”

Lu Tianning’s smile froze.

Although there were speculations of the reason why Shen Le Tian had been thrown out, his current attitude is so calm that Lu Tianning stuffed up unable to react. Caught in a dilemma, he found that crystal wine glass already in his hand.

When he looked up, Shen Le Tian was smiling with a curved face, and Lu Tianning, seemingly enchanted by his smile, involuntarily drank the entire glass of wine.

As the strong liquor rolled down his throat, Lu Tianning stared at Shen Le Tian without blinking, and seeing the approving smile on the other’s face, he straightened his back and suddenly felt full of masculinity.

“Brother Lu has a good tolerance for alcohol,” Le Tian gave a thumbs up to Lu Tianning, “Let’s have another drink!” He then shouted to Xu Tao beside him, “Get the kitchen to stir-fry some dishes, just drinking is boring you know.”

Xu Tao: “Okay.”

‘Where did that come from?’ Xu Tao felt that Le Tian was probably already drunk. The scene of him getting drunk with Le Tian last time was still vivid in his mind, remembering that Le Tian’s drinking capacity was just average.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Tao quietly got up and went to the bathroom when no one was paying attention. After having inner turmoil in the cubicle for ten minutes, he trembled and dialed the Shen family’s telephone number.

The call was answered by a butler, with a lively tone, “Hello, this is Shen’s residence.”

Xu Tao said, “Is Mr. Shen there?”

The butler, obviously well-trained, evaded the question, “May I ask who is calling?”

“I can’t say who I am, but please tell Mr. Shen that Le Tian was pressured into drinking at Blue Moon and is already very drunk,” Xu Tao paused, “If he still cares about him, he should come and take him back.”

The butler said light-heartedly, “Alright, thank you.” The butler hung up the phone and immediately went to find Shen Lixing in the study room.

Shen Lixing, dressed in a light grey shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his arms, his hair neatly hanging down, and holding files in his hand, was standing by the window.

“Master, someone just called to say that the young master is drunk in Blue Moon,” the butler relayed.

Shen Lixing looked up, his expression as cold and stern as a sculpture, and said coldly, “I know, you can leave.”

The butler left as instructed and closed the door. He couldn’t help but muttered, “Does the master really not care about the young master anymore? This doesn’t seem right…”

Actually, every time Le Tian thinks he’s sneaking away without a sound, Shen Lixing has seen it all, standing on the balcony for a long time, watching his departing figure.

‘What actually happened to master and young master?’ The butler worries.

Having been with the Shen family for almost ten years, the butler truly considers the Shen family as his second home. As he slowly descends the stairs, his face is full of concern.

Just as he reaches the corner, he hears the steady sound of footsteps behind him. The butler turns around and sees Shen Lixing wearing a pure black trench coat, his face serious, walking past him like the wind.

The butler pats his chest, feeling reassured.

On the other side, inside the Blue Moon private room, it was already a scene of “bodies sprawled all over the place”. Everyone was drunk, lying in all sorts of positions. Le Tian was still leisurely pouring himself drinks, although his face was flushed, his demeanor remained very composed.

System: ‘Hmph, a bunch of regular folks, they think they can outdrink an elephant.’

After Xu Tao returned to the private room, he helped Le Tian block a few drinks, and then fell onto the sofa. He called Le Tian’s name slowly, as Le Tian drank the last drop in his cup, slowly got up. As soon as he lifted his foot, his hand was grabbed by the fallen Lu Tianning.

Lu Tianning was so drunk that his eyes were rolling, and he held on to Le Tian’s hand, unwilling to let go, speaking with a thick tongue, “D-don’t leave…”

Drunk people had unusually strong strength. Le Tian couldn’t break free and squatted down, calmly meeting his gaze, “Let go.”

Lu Tianning stared straight at Le Tian, as if he wanted to grow a hook in his eyes. Suddenly, he used all his strength to pull Le Tian into his arms.

Le Tian was stunned for a moment, about to push Lu Tianning away, when Lu Tianning leaned against his shoulder, his lips close to his ear, murmuring, “Stop… hiccup… pretending… you bastard…”, but can’t continue to conscious anymore.

Le Tian: “…”
For a moment, he is speechless and thinking where this dog should be hit.

Entangled tightly by Lu Tianning like a snake, Le Tian slightly bent his knees, wanting to push him away. But as soon as he moved his foot, Lu Tianning’s two long legs intertwined and pressed down on him, holding him even tighter.

“What’s up with this fucker? How come he’s so strong?” Le Tian was being angered until his face turned red, his glasses were thrown aside, and he fell to the ground. The light from the lamps stung his eyes, causing his eyes to glistened. “The greatest number one system in the universe, help this your good buddy.”

System: “I really want to help you, but I probably don’t need to.”

Le Tian: “⊙▽⊙?”

The door of the box was pushed open with a thud and the clubhouse suddenly became extremely quiet. The steady footsteps gradually approached, and Le Tian squinted and looked up, only to see a tall figure under the blue light, a black windbreaker, looking dashing and upright.

He leaned down, and Le Tian finally saw that it was Shen Lixing.

“Wow, even in this dark place, Shen Lixing’s gorgeousness is still shining brightly.” Le Tian excitedly said to the system.
With a drunk smile, he called out clingily to Shen Lixing, “Uncle~”

Shen Lixing had no expression on his face and reached out to grab Lu Tianning’s arm. Immediately, a scream rang out in Le Tian’s ears. Lu Tianning let go of Le Tian, clutching his arm and rolling on the ground in pain. Le Tian silently mourned Lu Tianning for three seconds, then continued to laugh foolishly at Shen Lixing, completely focused on showing off his clinginess and adorableness.

“Get up,” Shen Lixing said in a low voice.

In order to maintain his image as someone who don’t have good alcohol tolerance, Le Tian could only continue to pretend to be drunk, slurring, “Uncle… I like you the most!”

Shen Lixing’s pitch-black eyes flickered, his long and dense eyelashes slowly fell down, covering his eyes. He silently reached out and lifted up Le Tian, who obediently hugged Shen Lixing’s shoulder.

Shen Lixing could feel the warmth of Le Tian’s face against his chest, and he looked around at the people in the private room before ordering the nervous manager that standing at the door, “Take them home.”

The manager hadn’t stood up straight since seeing Shen Lixing, and he hurriedly replied, “Yes, yes, certainly!”

—

Shen Lixing drove himself there in a bright red sports car that Le Tian liked very much. The interior of the car was small, and it took quite a bit of effort for Shen Lixing to settle Le Tian in the passenger seat.

Inside the passenger seat, Le Tian’s face has a rosy complexion, with short, tousled hair, revealing a smooth forehead. The round, large eyes are gently closed, leaning against the car window and sleeping carelessly.

Shen Lixing gazed at Le Tian for a long time.

Le Tian nervously asked, “Did he see through that I pretending to sleep?”

The system replied, “Kind of, his gaze is very sharp.”

Le Tian tried to breathe smoothly and twisted his shoulders as naturally as possible, attempting to block Shen Lixing’s line of sight with his arms. As soon as he moved, Shen Lixing moved as well, slowly approaching and leaning down to Le Tian’s ear.

“Damn it, does he want to curse at me too?” Le Tian muttered inward angrily. ‘Lu Tianning, that asshole, I won’t let him off!‘

Suddenly, his burning earlobe was touched by the soft and cool lips. Le Tian was startled, only to hear Shen Lixing’s soft and slow voice.

“Me too.”
