Chapter 89 - A Drunken Phone Call

Qin Heng, listening to Fu Xingyun's evasive response, asked, "Why aren't you answering my question?"

Fu Xingyun glanced at him and replied indifferently, "It's better if you don't know."

Saying that, he walked forward, and Qin Heng, intrigued, asked, "Why aren't you afraid he'll run away? Tell me."

Qin Heng added, "You can tell me the method too."

However, Fu Xingyun continued to walk forward without looking at him.

Qin Heng, feeling uneasy, raised his hand to stop Fu Xingyun's shoulder and said, "Are we not still brothers?"

Fu Xingyun looked serious, "It's because I consider you a brother that I won't tell you."

This made Qin Heng even more curious, and he urgently wanted to know. He even felt a bit desperate because he needed these so-called methods.

Qin Heng patted Fu Xingyun's shoulder and said, "It's okay; just tell me. I've been through a lot, and I won't be shaken."

Fu Xingyun remained silent for a moment.

Qin Heng urged, "Tell me."

Fu Xingyun took a deep breath and said, "I will avoid all the methods you've used."

Qin Heng: ...

Well, at least he considers him as a reference.

"Are you mocking me?" Qin Heng pointed at him.

Fu Xingyun knocked away Qin Heng's hand calmly and said, "I'm telling you this because I consider you a brother."

"...," Qin Heng said, "Don't consider me a brother anymore."

Fu Xingyun: ?

Qin Heng looked disappointed, "Consider me as just a stranger."

Fu Xingyun: ...

——

The first thing Lin Qiong did upon arriving at the hotel was to bury himself in a deep sleep. After all, there was a crew dinner at night, and he didn't know how late it would go. It was better to catch up on some sleep first.

Wang Cheng, looking at Lin Qiong lying on the bed like a pile of rocks, didn't say anything. He was used to it.

When Wang Cheng was about to leave the room, Lin Qiong hummed, "Wake me up at the scheduled time."

Seeing Lin Qiong, who had been bullied by that old pervert today, in a much milder mood, Wang Cheng agreed, "OK."

However, Lin Qiong didn't sleep well this time. He had a dream in which Fu Xingyun found out that he had married him for money and threatened to leave him with nothing if he divorced.

When Wang Cheng came to call him at the appointed time, he saw Lin Qiong, who had been sound asleep, suddenly jump up from the bed.

Wang Cheng was startled, but thinking that Lin Qiong might be sleepwalking, he dared not make a sound to wake him up.

Lin Qiong woke up abruptly from the dream and sat still on the bed.

Fu Xingyun wanted him to leave with nothing!

Leaving with nothing meant not getting a penny!

Later, Wang Cheng watched as Lin Qiong began to pat himself, saying, "It's okay, Lin Qiong, it's okay."

Then Lin Qiong saw Wang Cheng standing there not making a sound. "Why are you just standing there?" he asked.

Wang Cheng directly replied, "You startled me just now; I thought you were sleepwalking."

In the evening, Lin Qiong attended the crew dinner. In order to conceal the love marks, he deliberately wore a high-necked outfit.

Apart from the protagonist, the biggest beneficiary of this film was Lin Qiong. His sudden rise to fame was unexpected by anyone.

When the director saw Lin Qiong coming, he called him aside and spoke some heartfelt words.

Lin Qiong didn't hold back on drinking. After having a bit too much, he wanted to go wash his face.

Wang Cheng, watching Lin Qiong move, asked, "Where are you going?"

Blushing, Lin Qiong replied, "To the restroom."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Lin Qiong burped and waved his hand, "No need, I... I can go by myself."

Wang Cheng, seeing that Lin Qiong had drunk quite a bit, said, "I'll accompany you."

Lin Qiong pressed him back into his seat, "I can manage myself. I'm not drunk; I can still walk in a straight line."

Saying this, he swiftly moved in a zigzag pattern and left the private room.

Wang Cheng:...

Lin Qiong's sense of direction had never been good. After turning around for a while, he couldn't find the restroom. Coincidentally, another person wearing a waiter's uniform approached from the other end of the corridor. Lin Qiong went up and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the restroom is?"

Li Lin, looking at the person in front of him, seemed somewhat familiar. He pointed ahead and said, "Just go straight and turn right."

Lin Qiong, feeling a bit stuffy from the drinks, asked, "Is there any other way that isn't straight?"

He could only walk in a zigzag pattern right now.

Li Lin didn't expect to encounter such a strange customer right after starting his shift. "There's no other way to the restroom here."

Lin Qiong nodded after hearing this, "Oh~"

Li Lin was about to say goodbye when he suddenly saw Lin Qiong covering his mouth.

Li Lin: !!!

He wouldn't vomit here, would he?

Then, he quickly supported Lin Qiong. "I'll accompany you to the restroom!"

Lin Qiong raised his hand after yawning, looking sincerely at the other person. "You're really a good person."

Li Lin:...

Li Lin found this person strange. He escorted Lin Qiong to the entrance of the restroom and left, not wanting to get into trouble.

After washing his face, Lin Qiong still felt dizzy. His face and neck were as red as if they were on fire.

At this moment, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Lin Qiong clumsily fumbled his phone out of his pocket, his eyes a bit blurry. He didn't know who was calling and absentmindedly answered.

"Hello."

Hearing that the voice on the other end seemed a bit off, Fu Xingyun frowned. "Are you outside?"

Lin Qiong repeated his greeting, "Hello!"

"...Are you okay?"

The man's tone had softened a lot. "What's wrong?"

Leaning on the sink uncomfortably, Lin Qiong let out a weak groan, "My head hurts so much."

Concerned, Fu Xingyun asked, "Is there anyone with you now?"

Looking at a passerby who entered the restroom, Lin Qiong replied, "Yes."

Fu Xingyun sighed in relief, "Do you feel like vomiting? It might make you feel better."

As soon as Lin Qiong heard this, he immediately refused, "No way."

Lin Qiong, nervously, said, "The director said it's a red wine that has been brewed for many years, and it costs a thousand per sip."

Lin Qiong smacked his lips twice, "It's quite good."

It's easy to imagine that if it wasn't good, he wouldn't have drunk so much.

Fu Xingyun, feeling a bit of a headache, knew that the other person loved money, but didn't expect it to be cherished to this extent.

He then raised his hand to transfer the amount to Lin Qiong.

"Oops!"

Fu Xingyun asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qiong was a bit surprised, "Someone transferred money to me!"

The amount was considerable, a whole hundred thousand.

After seeing the money, Lin Qiong found a bit of sobriety. He opened the bank transfer notification, trying to see who this generous person was.

Fu Xingyun could clearly hear the joy in the other's voice, "Do you like it?"

"Like it."

Lin Qiong chuckled softly, like cotton candy. Fu Xingyun listened and found himself smiling.

Fu Xingyun asked again, "Do you like it?"

Lin Qiong smiled with curved brows, "Like it."

"How much do you like it?"

"Like it the most!"

Fu Xingyun, hearing this, transferred another amount using his phone, this time with an extra zero.

Sure enough, the surprised and joyful voice came again, "I have money again!"

"Who sent it?"

Lin Qiong replied without hesitation, "My old baby sent it."

Fu Xingyun was stunned when he heard the nickname, "What?"

Lin Qiong repeated, "My old baby."

"Do you always call me that in private?"

Lin Qiong looked at the transfer records with a smile, "No, it's my old baby."

Well, they've been on the phone for so long, and the other party still doesn't know who he is. It seems he really drank a lot.

But if the other party likes calling him that, he will let him be.

"Do you like Fu Xingyun giving you money?"

"Like it."

Liking his money is essentially the same as liking him.

Lin Qiong continued, "I'll save this money."

"Why?"

Saying this, Fu XIngyun raised his hand to transfer more.

Lin Qiong said, "I'll save it for spending after my divorce."

"..."

Fu Xingyun silently withdrew his hand from entering in the amount.

At this moment, Wang Cheng's voice came from outside the door, "Lin Qiong! Lin Qiong, are you in there?"

Lin Qiong, in a slow and leisurely tone, replied, "Yes!"

Wang Cheng pushed the door and entered the restroom, seeing Lin Qiong on the phone.

Curious, he asked, "Who is it?"

Lin Qiong bypassed the question, "Old baby sent me money."

Wang Cheng was surprised, "A divorce settlement?"

Lin Qiong spoke, "Doesn't seem like it."

"You accepted it?"

Lin Qiong nodded.

Unexpectedly, a difficult expression appeared on Wang Cheng's face.

Lin Qiong, with a dazed gaze, looked at him, "What's wrong? Can't I accept it?"

Wang Cheng spoke, "People can take advantage of you when you're soft-hearted."

Just as he was about to explain, he heard Lin Qiong continue, "This won't do, I can't accept this money."

On the other end of the phone, Fu Xingyun frowned as he listened.

Lin Qiong started gesturing with his phone, "Can I transfer it back?"

Wang Cheng sighed and spoke, "You handle this first, I'll wait outside for you."

Saying that, he pushed the door and walked out.

Fu Xingyun couldn't help but speak, "Why don't you want Fu Xingyun to kiss you?"

Lin Qiong blurted out, "Don't like it."

Taking a deep breath, Fu Xingyun asked, "Why?"

Looking around, Lin Qiong, as if acting like a thief, said, "If I tell you, you can't tell anyone."

"Okay."

"You swear."

Fu Xingyun repeated, "I swear."

Lin Qiong nervously said, "If you say it to anyone else, you'll turn into a little frog."

Fu Xingyun was puzzled, "What's a little frog?"

Lin Qiong replied straightforwardly, "Lonely and widowed, and you can only croak..."

"..."

"I'll turn into a little frog if I say it."

Lin Qiong, after waiting for the oath, then spoke, "It's uncomfortable when he kisses me."

The man's hand froze for a moment.

"Uncomfortable?"

Lin Qiong nodded, "I don't want him to eat my mouth anymore."

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Fu Xingyun.

Having one's kissing skills rejected was a severe embarrassment.

Fu Xingyun couldn't get over this blow for a while. Who was Fu Xingyun? He had excelled in everything since childhood. But he never expected to be rejected in this regard.

Lin Qiong's revelation left him in a silent struggle. Fu Xingyun was someone who had always been ruthless to himself, but in this area, improvement wasn't something he could achieve through sheer effort.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Did he hurt you?"

Lin Qiong hesitated, "Not really."

He patted his own chest, "When he kissed me, my heart was beating too fast, and it felt uncomfortable."

"I don't want him to kiss me anymore. What if I get a heart disease? Treating it would cost a lot of money."
