Chapter 2 part 2
After he admitted it, Yan Shiting was silent for a long time, then threw out a warning, "Stay away from Yan Sui, he won't be with you."
Although it was something he already knew, hearing those words from Yan Sui's closest brother, the master of the Yan family, Yu Li just felt embarrassed.
The Yan family, with their business spanning the globe, from large-scale projects cooperating with the government to people's daily necessities, their products were virtually everywhere.
Given such a family background, how could he be worthy of liking them.
After that, Yu Li didn't dare to call Yan Shiting "brother" as he had before, but "Mr. Yan." And when Yan Sui found out, it became "Elder Brother Yan."
He was like a quail, afraid and hiding whenever he saw Yan Shiting.
Reminiscing the past, Yu Li frowned uncomfortably, looking at the glass of wine, unconsciously letting tears fall.
The tears dropped on the back of his hand, and he suddenly snapped back to his senses.
Not wanting Yan Shiting to notice, he quickly picked up the glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Due to the hasty movement, a lot of the wine flowed down the cup rim, wetting the collar of his T-shirt.
Yu Li didn't bother with it, didn't dare to look up at Yan Shiting, and hurriedly poured another glass.
Just as his hand touched the bottle, Yan Shiting pressed down on his hand.
Yu Li was taken aback.
Yan Shiting's hand was indeed as powerful as he imagined, and with his hand grasped, Yu Li couldn't struggle.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while.
Yan Shiting furrowed his brows, looking at Yu Li's trembling eyelashes, and called out softly, "Yu Li."
After a while, he said, "Yan Sui is in a relationship, are you that upset?"
Yu Li's mind was hazy, and he only heard the last three words Yan Shiting asked - are you upset?
He belatedly replied, "Yes, I'm upset."
Yan Shiting slowly released the grip on his hand.
But Yu Li no longer wanted to drink the wine, and after that glass with ice cubes, he not only didn't feel comfortable, but rather more distressed.
He simply laid his face on the cool wooden table top and closed his eyes.
He didn't want to drink anymore, but Yan Shiting quietly kept picking up ice cubes and drinking the remaining cocktails, one glass after another.
The empty bottles piled up, and the ice in the bucket gradually dwindled.
Yu Li heard the sound of the bottles falling to the floor.
He opened his eyes and looked up at Yan Shiting.
Yan Shiting must have taken a shower after returning, and now he was wearing a black silk robe instead of a suit, looking languid yet exquisitely elegant.
Yu Li thought of the pine scent he had smelled earlier, guessing it must be the fragrance of Yan Shiting's shampoo or body wash.
He watched Yan Shiting tilt his head back to drink, his movements refined, yet a drop of wine still slid down the corner of his mouth, across his Adam's apple, and disappeared into the collar of his robe.
Yu Li suddenly felt a bit thirsty.
He stared at the trail of that drop of wine, suddenly having a ridiculous thought.
He abruptly stood up, wanting to go to the bathroom to wash his face and rid himself of these impure thoughts.
But the moment he stood up, his already dizzy head became even more disoriented, and the world spun before his eyes.
Instinctively, Yan Shiting pulled the swaying Yu Li into his embrace.
When Yu Li came to his senses, the Adam's apple that had inspired his absurd thoughts was right in front of his eyes.
Yu Li's face flushed scarlet, and it felt hot.
He struggled a bit and stammered, "Brother, I, I want to go to the bathroom..."
Yan Shiting grunted and tightened the arm around him.
He lowered his head, but found that Yu Li's face had an abnormal redness.
Yu Li hadn't noticed anything amiss yet, pursing his lips and looking dazed as he said, "Brother, I'm so hot, I want to wash my face."
Yan Shiting's pupils suddenly constricted.
That man, how dare he!
"Yu Li, you've... been drugged."
Before Yan Shiting could finish his sentence, he felt a sudden rush of feverish heat coursing through his limbs.
The air he exhaled became scorching hot, just like Yu Li, he too had been drugged.
Frowning, he quickly recalled his dinner, and his gaze eventually fell on the ice bucket.
The cocktails were all sealed, so the only possibility was the ice cubes.
Yan Shiting's expression turned grim, his eyes filled with a terrifying intensity, as if brewing a storm.
Yu Li didn't notice anything amiss, thinking he had just drunk too much.
He felt Yan Shiting's heat and hesitated, asking, "Brother, are you drunk too?"
Yan Shiting didn't respond, just carrying him and laying him on the bed.
His mind was still clear, wanting to reach for his phone to make a call.
But the next moment, Yu Li wrapped his arms around Yan Shiting's neck.
Although Yan Shiting was also very hot, Yu Li felt comfortable in his embrace.
When Yan Shiting suddenly got up to leave, Yu Li felt reluctant.
Yu Li rolled over, clinging to Yan Shiting and sighing contentedly.
"Yu Li!" Yan Shiting raised his voice.
Yu Li looked up at him, then his gaze shifted downward, to Yan Shiting's Adam's apple.
Suddenly, Yu Li leaned in, finally kissing that Adam's apple.
It wasn't really a kiss, just his soft lips brushing against it.
The delicate skin beneath, every drop of blood seemed to be boiling.
Yan Shiting's breathing immediately became heavy.
Looking at the ceiling, his voice deep, "Yu Li, do you know what you're doing?"
Yu Li didn't answer him, or rather, didn't seem to be aware that Yan Shiting was talking to him.
Yan Shiting closed his eyes briefly.
When he opened them again, he had flipped their positions, now hovering over Yu Li.
He raised a hand to caress Yu Li's face, his exhaled breath mingling with Yu Li's.
Seeing Yu Li's dazed gaze, he softly asked, "Yu Li, do you know who I am?"
Yu Li's hazy mind registered those words.
He blinked, his eyes slowly moving from Yan Shiting's forehead down to his chin.
Finally, he affirmed, "I know, you are Yan Shiting."
Yan Shiting's pupils gradually deepened.
His Adam's apple bobbing, no longer able to restrain himself, he leaned down and kissed the tear mole below Yu Li's right eye, "Good boy."

Screw that Shen Rui guy! And altho' they're drugged, it seems to me like Shiting has like Yu Li for a while.
