The Scum Shou's Survival Guide Chapter 2 Part2

Ye Ming stayed in the bathroom for a while then after confirming Qin Yi had left, he slowly returned to his office.

[888 said suspiciously, "He didn't see you?]

[Ye Ming: No, he 100% definitely saw me.]

[888:  He saw you but unexpectedly he didn't come in and beat you to death?]

[Ye Ming: …..]

[Ye Ming: Must you talk to me like this? Heartbroken.expression.jpg]

[888: Oh.]

[Ye Ming: Just now did you check the blackening value? How high is it?]

[888: 85.]

[Ye Ming: It's not low ah…..]

Ye Ming touched his chin. He went back and continued to work. The next few days pa.s.sed peacefully. Qin Yi didn't make any movements and then just as 888 was starting to question his understanding of human emotions, President Hu came into Ye Ming's office.

President Hu's expression when looking at Ye Ming had became more enthusiastic. Initially he thought he had just picked up a talented employee but he never would have dreamed that he and Qin Yi had this kind of relationship. President Hu thought it was a high likelihood that the Fang Xiao that Qin Yi mentioned was the Fang Xiao standing before him. This kind of good opportunity how could he let it pa.s.s him by? Even if it was one chance in ten thousand, then he had to grasp onto it.

But he remembered that Qin Yi had said that Fang Xiao didn't want to see him… so he couldn't directly tell him what he wanted.

President Hu smiled like a fox. He put his arms around Ye Ming's shoulder and said loudly, "Recently everyone has been working hard! Tonight I'll invite everyone to a gathering. You can eat anything I'll pick up the bill!"

When the audience heard the boss was going to pay, they got immediately excited and began to loudly yell their agreement.

Ye Ming's shoulders were being held by President Hu who looked at him with an enthusiasm that made it difficult for him to refuse. He could only smile and say that since it was a dinner gathering that of course he would partic.i.p.ate.

Everyone left the company happily, squeezing into a few cars. President Hu was at the front leading the way, and directly took them to the most expensive hotel in the city. Everyone got even more excited and said that the boss is being extremely generous today!

[Ye Ming: Today I can see my family's beloved Qin Yi ne, so happy.]

[888: I can confirm that he is indeed eating here today, but it's with a client to discuss business. How can you be sure you will see him?]

[Ye Ming: Of course. Today President Hu put in a lot of effort, the whole reason is to trick me to see him. O(∩_∩)O~]

[888: …….]

Every ate happily, as they ate they took photos and played hand games, the joy was overflowing.

At this time President Hu picked up the wine cup and sat down next to Ye Ming. He said in a familiar manner, "The company has an important client who is coincidentally also eating here. Xiao Fang, why don't you go with me to pay our respects to them?]

Ye Ming appeared extremely taken aback at being invited by President Hu to go and drink with the client. However since it was the boss's request, he naturally wouldn't reject something trivial like this. So he picked up his wine cup and smiled, saying, "Okay."

President Hu was overjoyed and took Ye Ming and left.

The hotel's decorations was extremely luxurious. On the floor was thick carpet so when walking there was almost no sound.

President Hu's important client was clearly no ordinary person. He took Ye Ming to the highest level, and went to the hotel's most exclusive private room. His expression was slightly nervous and he carefully stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

After a moment, a voice asked them to come in.

President Hu pushed open the door and went inside. Ye Ming was behind him. He raised his head and saw the man sitting inside the private room. His footsteps stopped and he tightly grasped the wine cup, visibly stunned.

Qin Yin pressed his fingers together. He calmly sat there, looking at Ye Ming's body with a gaze full of darkness but there no surprise in this demeanour.

President Hu quickly waved at the stupefied Ye Ming and said, "Xiao Fang, why don't you come over here?"

Ye Ming's fingers grasping the wine cup were white. He looked at President Hu and then looked at Qin Yi. He looked as though he wanted to turn around and leave. His expression was full of dilemma. Finally he lowered his head and slowly walked over.

Perhaps…  today as just a coincidence. Maybe Qin Yi had forgotten him a long time ago and didn't care anymore. He shouldn't be self-defeating.

{T/N: A note of clarification. When Ye Ming is acting as Fang Xiao, even his thoughts are Fang Xiao's thoughts. He only goes back to normal when he leaves and starts talking to 888 again. Just think of it as him being completely immersed in his role like a method actor ( ´ ▽ ` )}

His heart was chaotic, he couldn't notice anything else and just followed President Hu and drank wine. Because he drank so quickly he started coughing.

From the moment Ye Ming came in, Qin Yi's eyes never left his body.

The person in front of him was thinner then he remembered but still just as handsome. On his pale face there was a faint flush, his eyes were slightly dewy, it was extremely attractive. He was just the same as before… as soon as he touched alcohol, his face would go red. Qin Yi had once liked the Ye Ming like this, really liked him… but right now he only felt he hurt his eyes.

President Hu noticed Qin Yi's expression and felt like there was something wrong. He felt an awkward feeling in his heart… this doesn't seem like the kind of expression when greeting an old friend, it seemed more like seeing an enemy. He felt that this situation wasn't good, but as the situation stands he could only take it one step at a time.

After a moment Qin Yi raised his cup and gave Ye Ming a jesting smile. "Long time no see."

Ye Ming licked his lips. He knew that as things stood, there wasn't any use to run away. Since he had come back for this person then he had prepare to face the responsibility head on.

He did his best to maintain a neutral expression. He said softly, "Long time no see."

Qin Yi seemed to feel like what was happening was very amusing. He lifted the wine jug from the table then walked over to personally help Ye Ming fill his wine gla.s.s. His lips wore a smile that was both gentle and cool. He said, "It's been three years, to celebrate, you should drink at least three gla.s.ses."

Ye Ming looked down at the wine gla.s.s, his face was quite white.

The alcoholic content of this wine is very high. One cup already made him choke, if he drank full three cups… Qin Yi obviously knew he couldn't hold his liquor.

Qin Yi stared at Ye Ming unblinkingly. He smiled and said, "What? You don't want to give me any face?"

It was clear to everyone that Qin Yi was deliberately trying to embara.s.s Ye Ming. The clients sitting around the table had amused expressions. Although they didn't know who this person was exactly, he had obviously offended President Qin. Even if he didn't die today he'd at least lose a layer of skin.

President Hu's back was wet with sweat. His brain was swiftly moving. He thought about the words Qin Yi had said when he left… at that time Qin Yi must have recognized Fang Xiao! Back in the day these two must have had some kind of grievance, thats why Fang Xiao hid and wouldn't see Qin Yi. So that's why Qin Yi borrowed his hand to trick Fang Xiao into coming. Right now he had to make a decision. Either he would stand on Qin Yi's side, or on Fang Xiao's side. The answer to question was one that didn't require thought!

President Hu's flashed with light. His expression was no longer as familiar as before. He said without hesitation, "Xiao Fang, President Qin is asking you to drink."

Qin Yi looked briefly at President Hu. Although he disdained this kind of person but he couldn't deny that this person had a good eye for the situation.

President Hu immediately showed a charming smile towards Qin Yi like a dog. Although Fang Xiao wasn't Qin Yi's friend, but if he was his enemy then…. he could help take him down!

Ye Ming couldn't go forward or retreat. He knew that if he didn't drink today then he probably couldn't leave these doors.

He looked at Qin Yi's cold expression and remembered his old warmth and tenderness, and felt quite bitter in his heart. He raised his wine gla.s.s and drank it all in one gulp. The strong wine entered his body, burning his throat and stomach painfully. His alcohol tolerance had always been ordinary, and right now the burning sensation brought tears to his eyes.

That's right, wasn't this his whole purpose? To let Qin Yi hate him… so he shouldn't feel sad or heartbroken. That's what he told himself.

Qin Yi didn't miss any single expression on Ye Ming's face. The youth in front of him had a red face and tears in his eyes, as though he had been harshly bullied. The beautiful lips were sealed tight and no sound came out.

Had this been in the past, then the old him probably would have immediately embraced him to comfort him. But right now…

He only wanted to see him suffer more, feel regret more!

Qin Yi raised the corner of his lips and then refilled Ye Ming's cup to the brim. Smiling he said, "Please."

Ye Ming didn't hesitate and drank it all again!

After three cups had entered his body, Ye Ming's body swayed slightly. He turned around and wanted to leave but just before he had drunk too quickly. His body couldn't take it, he suddenly clutched his stomach and after making a gasping sound, vomited it out!

He retched for a while, only feeling this vision was quite dark. At this time he was suddenly pulled into a hot and wide embrace. Confused, he raised his head and saw that Qin Yi had taken out a napkin and was tenderly wiping the corner of his mouth.

Ye Ming's expression was shocked. He couldn't understand what Qin Yi was doing. Just then didn't he dislike him very much? Why was he being so gentle now? Did he not hate him anymore?

Qin Yi saw Ye Ming's confused expression. The person in his arms had once been the person he had loved the most. The twisted hatred in his heart grew like a vine, wrapping itself around his heart, and stabbing its barbs into the flesh and blood.

The person in his arms was so real. It wasn't a dream, he was really by his side. Seeing him again he finally understood that those things from back then, those memories of joy and pain, hadn't faded at all in his heart. Instead, with the pa.s.sage of time, became even more engraved into his bones.

Although his heart was full of hate, he still wanted to see his person so much!

Qin Yi grasped Ye Ming's chin and looked at his delicate eyes. He used his thumb to rub his softly parted lips. His eyes revealed a deep-rooted desire. He smiled softly and said, "Stay here… how much do you want, you name a price."

This kind of person, if he was interested then he could just use money to obtain him.

He saw Ye Ming's eyes fill with an incredible humiliation, and his heart was filled with a never before experienced thrill of gratification.

[Ding! Qin Yi's blackening value -5, current blackening value is 80.]
