Xi Mohan has always exuded a bone-chilling temperant, as if he is enveloped in coldness all year round, making it impossible for people to guess his emotions from his icy face.
Although Lu Jingchen sotis carries a hint of indifference, he does not give off the bone-chilling feeling like Xi Mohan.
Ever since Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao got married, he seldom ca out to play in Night City. Sotis he wouldn’t co out even if he was personally called, either due to being busy with work or worried about Song Qiao being scared alone at ho.
It made him seem entirely like a wife-slave, to the point that Gu Xicheng even suspected Song Qiao might have drugged Lu Jingchen with sedatives.
Lu Jingchen poured himself a glass of beer and added an ice cube to it. His handso face was filled with gloom as he picked up the glass and gulped it down in one go, drinking as if he had no care for his life.
Just as Gu Xicheng entered the private room, he saw Lu Jingchen had already downed three glasses of beer silently, which left him astonished. He walked over, glanced at the empty beer bottles, and then turned to Xi Mohan to ask, "How much has he drunk?"
Xi Mohan, unchanging in expression, poured himself a drink and casually replied after adding an ice cube, "Don’t know, but it won’t kill him."
After speaking, he also downed his glass in one gulp, unlike Lu Jingchen who imdiately poured another drink.
Seeing Lu Jingchen drink another two glasses, Gu Xicheng could no longer bear it, and directly snatched the glass from Jingchen’s hand, his brows furrowing as he coldly said, "Jingchen, have you gone mad? You will end up in the hospital if you keep drinking like this."
Gu Xicheng had always known Lu Jingchen’s temperant, but he was also very aware of Jingchen’s physical condition; continuing to drink like this would definitely land him in the hospital for several days.
Thinking that Jingchen would get angry, Gu Xicheng was already preparing to run away.
However, unexpectedly, Lu Jingchen just glanced at him indifferently, his expressionless face turning to lie back on the sofa. He was wearing a dark grey shirt, almost rging into the dim surroundings.
Gu Xicheng, puzzled, looked at Xi Mohan and silently mouthed to him, "What’s wrong with him?"
Xi Mohan gave him a bland look and then, too lazy to spare him another glance, shut his mouth and said nothing.
Gu Xicheng looked up at the ceiling, wondering how he ended up having such a cold person like Xi Mohan as a friend. In the hottest days of sumr, there was no need to turn on the air conditioner, and though it saved electricity, it was especially uncomfortable being around him, unable to understand what Ning Yan’er saw in Xi Mohan.
And then there was Ning Wan.
Turning his head to look at Lu Jingchen, who was always emitting a ’keep out’ aura and looked gloomy like dark waters, Gu Xicheng finally could not contain his curiosity and spoke, "Jingchen, didn’t you seem to be in a good mood recently? Oh, right, I saw the news today that Zuo Yuqing and your wife Song Qiao were injured and hospitalized. Most importantly, you were at the scene of the incident. Tell what actually happened?"
As soon as Gu Xicheng finished speaking, the man who had been closing his eyes suddenly opened them and turned his head to look at him. His eyes carried a bone-chilling fierceness, shooting at him like icy arrows, with a trace of red bloodshot signifying his anger.
Gu Xicheng had never been a match for Lu Jingchen. From childhood, he was always the one getting bullied, not because he was weak—other people he could manage with ease; as a child, he even acted like a gang leader from TV dramas, gathering a lot of followers in the courtyard. But, no matter how commanding he was outside, anyti he faced Lu Jingchen and Xi Mohan, he imdiately turned into a paper tiger.
Though Lu Jingchen looks gentle and refined, actually, ever since they were in elentary school, he had been unbeatable throughout the courtyard, even those five years older than him were no match for him.
Xi Mohan, although not one to resort to physical confrontation, if anyone crossed him, they often found themselves subjected to his sches behind the scenes. Gu Xicheng, when he first t these two, would either end up getting beaten up crying by Jingchen or sched against by Mohan, going directly to tell his father.
