Home/ The Selfish Gene/ Chapter 29
Coincidentally, Zheng Jieyuan’s birthday party was arranged on the top floor of the hotel where I was staying. All kinds of people were invited— including his favorite internet celebrities, models and actors, and his friends.
A DJ was hired indoors for the entertainment. Although it was cold outside, Zheng Jieyuan specifically asked the staff to adjust the water temperature of the never-ending swimming pool to a temperature closer to the human body, so it was very lively.
As the protagonist of today, Zheng Jieyuan was naturally the focus of attention. Everywhere he goes, people would come up to chat with him, so that every time he says a few words to me, he will be called away by others.
After many attempts like this, I felt a bit bored, so I went outside alone with a drink in my hand, and found a quiet corner radiated by an umbrella heater to relax.
It has been a week now, and Ji Chenfeng still has not contacted me.
Zhou Jiyu said that this is a game where whoever gives in first will lose. Every seven days is a hurdle, whether it’s today or the next seven days. As long as I don’t take the initiative, the other party will definitely contact me.
He might as well quit being a psychiatrist, and become an astrologer, he’s quite suited for that profession.
“Mr. Sang, long time no see…” Along with the words, a tall and thin figure sat down on a chair beside me.
I raised my eyes slightly and saw that it was Lu Sui.
If it weren’t for my bad mood, I would definitely give him a round of applause. What kind of network expansion ability is this? Last time he got into Xin Hezi’s car, and this time he somehow came to Zheng Jieyuan’s birthday party. Next time, he would become the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, right?
“Zheng Jieyuan invited you here?” I asked with a half-smile.
“Yes, Sister Xin specially called me over to introduce me to Mr. Zheng when we had dinner last time. Mr. Zheng had no airs at all and was very enthusiastic towards me. After the meal, he told me to follow him and said that he would protect me from now on. He even asked me to come to his birthday party.”
Lu Sui’s appearance is really cute, looking cheerful and innocent, and even when he smiles casually, he seems to have a shy and youthful air around him. Anyone who sees him will not feel that he is a very scheming person.
Unfortunately, I have already seen through his facade and will not be fooled.
“It’s not called enthusiasm, it’s called being an idiot.” I sneered. “He takes all the cats and dogs by his side without being picky at all.”
Lu Sui’s face immediately changed, and he felt a bit embarrassed.
I took a sip of wine and looked back at the night view of the city in the distance, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.
“Mr. Sang, it was my fault last time, please don’t argue with me.” Lu Sui remained calm and didn’t leave. As he spoke, he stood up and took a glass of whiskey from the tray of a passing waiter. He bowed slightly and said, “As an apology, I’ll punish myself with a drink.”
It’s so annoying, why are there mosquitoes flying around in this cold weather? If these mosquitoes could learn to quietly suck blood and leave, they might not be so annoying. It’s fine if it only sucks blood, but it also buzzes in front of you, blindly flying everywhere, and bumping into your face, causing you to become aggressive and crush it completely.
Is it my fault?
“Mr. Sang, since you refused to forgive me, then I’ll punish myself with another glass. It’s my ignorance that caused you so much trouble.”
After all, performing alone looked like a waste. So when Lu Sui saw that I didn’t even look at him, he quickly brought another glass of whiskey. This time he stood directly in front of me and bent over to drink all the wine in the glass.
Today is Zheng Jieyuan’s birthday. If I make any noise and kick people, he won’t be able to save face, and I also won’t be able to give him an explanation. So I can only do some verbal expulsion which is better than nothing.
“Get lost, don’t bother me.”
“Mr. Sang…” Lu Sui put the empty cup on the table and grabbed my arm. His expression looked sincere, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice sounded as if he was about to cry. “I really know I’m wrong, just tell what I need to do for you to forgive me.”
I laughed directly and said: “Let me guess… you used to think of me as Xu Xi’s useless nephew, so you didn’t like her or me. But since you met Xin Hezi, she has taught you a lot of things you didn’t know before. For example, it turns out that I’m the same as them. What, are you panicking now?” Raising my hand to break away from Lu Sui’s hold, I grabbed his chin and said disdainfully, “What can you do for me?”
Is there anything I need a clown to do for me? What a joke?
Faced with my aggressiveness, Lu Sui was not afraid at all, he still held onto my hand tightly and said: “What that disabled handsome guy can do for you, I can do for you too. And I can even do it better than him.” He flapped his slender eyelashes, and said the last sentence in a sticky voice, sounding particularly ambiguous.
Even that idiot Zheng Jieyuan would understand what these words mean when he hears them. He knows…..he knows the relationship between me and Ji Chenfeng that cannot be seen in the light.
I don’t care if Yan Shanhua finds out about my relationship with Ji Chenfeng, it’s impossible for her to come to my circle and talk nonsense. But Lu Sui is different. If he knows that I kissed a man, it means that sooner or later Zheng Jieyuan will also discover this secret. He will also know that I am a pervert who can tolerate men treating me like a woman.
If he asks me, am I going to pull on his collar to make him believe me? Would I say that I had still retained the last ‘bottom line’ and didn’t let Ji Chenfeng completely use me?
Fuck off.
Lu Sui shuddered under my cold gaze and said, “I won’t talk nonsense.”
Releasing my grip on him, I raised my head and drank the whole glass of whiskey on the table. The spicy liquor burned all the way from the throat to the stomach, accompanied by the cold wind pouring in, it was like a double heaven of ice and fire.
My lips trembled slightly as I exhaled all the turbid air. Then slamming the glass onto the table, I raised my chin towards the swimming pool, saying: “Take off your clothes and jump in. As long as you can do it, I will forgive you. In the future, just like Zheng Jieyuan… I will keep you as a puppy beside me. How about it?”
Lu Sui’s face turned ugly upon hearing this. After all, he is also a well-known model, and this is not a private party. There are all kinds of people here and as long as someone shoots a video, it will cause a lot of trouble for him.
With a sneer, I stood up to leave.
“Wait…” Lu Sui hurriedly grabbed my wrist and struggled, “Can I at least keep my underwear on?” Without waiting for me to nod or shake my head, he quickly took off his coat and sweater, “If you don’t answer, I’ll just assume you agree.”
After being in the modeling business for so long, he is very proficient in taking off his clothes very quickly. Stripping himself down to just a pair of underwear, he ran up in the cold wind and jumped into the swimming pool with a “pop”.
Immediately afterwards, he stirred up a huge splash of water all around, causing people to cheer loudly. Many people took off their clothes on the spot and jumped in the swimming pool like Lu Sui. There were constant whistles and screams, and the outdoor atmosphere instantly heated up to an unprecedented level.
I ordered another glass of whiskey, and while drinking, I laughed along with the ignorant onlookers. I really didn’t expect Lu Sui to be able to do this.
If only Ji Chenfeng could be so obedient…
You don’t even need to jump into the water, as long as you apologize to me, I will forgive you.
Until Zheng Jieyuan blew out the birthday candles, I never saw Lu Sui again. When blowing out the candles, there was a little episode. The waiter outside brought a beautifully wrapped gift box with a blue ribbon, saying that it was a surprise for Zheng Jieyuan.
As a result, when he opened it with great enthusiasm, it turned out to be a toy donkey with a “Zheng Jieyuan” nameplate hanging around its neck.
Zheng Jieyuan picked up the piece of wood with his name engraved on it and pondered for a while. Suddenly his expression changed, as if he realized whose masterpiece it was.
Even holding it for a moment made him feel as if his hand got scalded. With a black face, he fiercely threw the donkey to the ground and kicked it away.
Unexpectedly, the donkey suddenly started shaking vigorously as if some mechanism was activated.
“My name is Zheng Jieyuan, today is my birthday, hahaha. My name is Zheng Jieyuan, today is my birthday, hahaha…”
Zheng Jieyuan was so angry that he grabbed the donkey and strode outside, throwing it into the swimming pool.
At this time, Lu Sui returned after changing into new clothes, his hair had also been styled again. He walked among the guests with ease, as if the person I had just forced into the swimming pool wasn’t him, but just a Xibei product similar to him.
At the end of the party, I drank some strong liquor and the alcohol started to take over. Not only did I feel dizzy, but I also walked unsteadily.
At this point, Zheng Jieyuan was in a worse state than me. He had been drunk and unconscious for a long time. The waiters were either busy arranging for a substitute driver or calling a taxi for the guests, and they didn’t even have the time to greet me. I could only walk towards the elevator by supporting the wall by myself, enduring the dizziness.
I stumbled and almost fell down, but fortunately, I was quickly supported by someone next to me.
“Mr. Sang, why are you so careless?” Lu Sui held one of my arms, and his breath hit my ear as he spoke, “Do you need me to call a taxi for you? Let me take you down, okay?”
Feeling uncomfortable, I avoided him and took out the key card from my trouser pocket, waving it in front of him, saying, “I live here.”
His smile grew wider: “That’s great, I’ll send you back to the room so you don’t fall down again.”
Send me back? Why not just take me to the bed, right?
Clear ambition is written on his face, and his intentions are completely revealed at this moment. Didn’t he use the same trick on Xin Hezi? How could I not know his little thoughts? Although I’m a bit drunk, I’m not stupid.
However…he did listen to my words and jumped into the swimming pool. All our previous grudges have already been written off, and now I have no reason to reject him.
If I just switched from a woman to a man, I shouldn’t act like I have a crush on a man. Ji Chenfeng is not special. I can’t let others think that Ji Chenfeng is special–of course, he is not special either.
If Lu Sui thinks he can, then why not let him try? It’s just another mouth to vent, what difference does it make?
Thinking like this, I acquiesced to Lu Sui sending me back to my room.
He swiped my card and helped me out of the elevator, chattering all the way and supporting me through the maze-like corridors. Finally, he took the last turn and arrived at the corridor where my suite was located.
“Your body feels very hot, isn’t it? Do you want me to help you take a bath later?”
Because of the alcohol, my body heated up and my heartbeat accelerated. It felt difficult to breathe, and I was panting heavily. Although I hadn’t done any strenuous exercise, I seemed to be running out of oxygen.
When I saw Ji Chenfeng quietly leaning against the door of my room, my mind went blank. I forgot to reply to Lu Sui, stopped walking, and even forgot to breathe.
I really shouldn’t have doubted Zhou Jiyu, he is the god of PUA, right?
Ji Chenfeng straightened up, and when I saw him, he also naturally saw Lu Sui and me.
Top three buttons of my shirt were open, reaching the position of my chest. Lu Sui just said that my body felt hot, and so his palm was pressed against my chest right now.
Showing up drunk at the door of the hotel room in the arms of another man, let alone his hand was still pressed against my chest…. In this world, maybe Zheng Jieyuan is the only one who would think that Lu Sui and I have a pure friendship.
I suppressed my chaotic breathing and quietly broke away from Lu Sui’s support.
Lu Sui was quite discerning and when he saw that it was Ji Chenfeng, he didn’t bother me too much and let go easily.
“Young Master Sang was drunk, so I kindly helped him back as he was walking unsteadily.” Lu Sui smiled at Ji Chenfeng and said in a tone that was completely inconsistent with the content of his words, speaking like a little villain, “Please don’t misunderstand.”
I frowned and just as I wanted to tell him to get lost, he left on his own. But before he left, he didn’t forget to blow a kiss towards me.
“Then I am leaving, Mr. Sang. Let’s make an appointment next time when you are free.”
After Lu Sui left, the corridor, which was only about ten meters long, was so quiet that even a needle drop could be heard. My brain was running rapidly, but before I could think of how to defend myself, Ji Chenfeng spoke up.
“Because I rejected your kindness, you…don’t want me anymore?” His eyes were dark, and he seemed more disappointed rather than angry.
My sluggish mind couldn’t keep up with the questions he threw out. In order to “think”, I have to awaken more and more brain cells that have become numb because of too much alcohol.
My body went all out to cope with Ji Chenfeng, overdrawn to the point that my heart began to hurt.
You are the one who left first, so why are you accusing me of not wanting you?
Is this some kind of preemptive tactic?
“What is our relationship?” I brushed past him and went to open the door, intending to climb up the moral high ground first with a pained heart, “Have you ever been owned by me?”
Holding the doorknob, I turned to look at him and asked: “Who’s the one that doesn’t contact me easily? Who is it that doesn’t even tell me why he wants to borrow the money? Who is it that behaves so kindly and makes me look like a fool?”
If we started quarreling again, wouldn’t these seven days be in vain? I had to find a way to appease Ji Chenfeng… Rewards such as kisses are no longer stimulating enough for him. He had already borrowed my hands and legs, but should I need to lend my mouth this time?
Just thinking about that scene, I felt a chill. No, absolutely not.
I entered the room and pressed against the door, gesturing for Ji Chenfeng to come in as well.
He stared at me with some weariness, with no intention of entering the room: “Our relationship… I have never really understood, or rather, I have been pretending to be confused.”
“Sang Nian, you only have one chance. What was our relationship before? There is no need to investigate the past. But from now on, our relationship will be defined by you. So tell me, what is our relationship now?”
Suddenly, I felt at a loss. My body was very hot and my palms were constantly sweating, but I couldn’t tell whether it was due to nervousness or drunkenness. If I don’t answer well, Ji Chenfeng will never approach me again. He would stay outside the door, leaving me alone in this small room.
What should I do?
Zhou Jiyu didn’t teach me this, what should I do?
It was clear that I had won, and Ji Chenfeng took the initiative to come to me seven days later, so why is it always me who’s in a mess?
Is it possible to regain my momentum if I act more forcefully?
Give it a try, just like I have been doing for the past few days, and continue to dampen his spirits.
I remained calm and didn’t answer his question. Instead, I told him to come in again in a commanding tone.
Ji Chenfeng turned a deaf ear and said: “I’m the same as that person, right? You will do the same things to him you did to me. You will also take him to the places you took me…” He said in a calm tone, “It’s true that you haven’t tried it with a man before me, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try it with others after me.”
I still had to gather enough momentum to dampen his spirits, but he turned around and left without saying a word, catching me off guard.
Before my overloaded brain could react, my body took action first and I rushed over to grab Ji Chenfeng’s arm.
I almost used brute force to pull him back, and with a loud bang, I pushed him against the door.
“It’s only you…” I held him in a weak embrace and refused to let go, “I dare not, it’s only you, and it will only be you from now on. You are different from Lu Sui, you are different from everyone else… …I want you, I only want you.”
His body stiffened for a moment, and after a frightening silence, he finally responded to me.
“Is it just me?”
“Um.”
“Lover?”
There was a bit of resistance, but I still gave a positive answer amidst the imperceptible hesitation.
“Yes!”
He hugged me tightly in his arms, exerting pressure little by little, and whispered something into my ear.
“…Don’t lie to me.”
My heart trembled, feeling a sense of guilt as if someone had exposed my lie in front of my face.
In order to resolve this sense of guilt, I took the initiative to hold Ji Chenfeng’s face and kissed his lips.
I was already a bit drunk and hot, and coupled with the stimulation just now, the adrenaline surged, and after the entanglement of lips and tongues for a long time, my body started to react.
Men, of course they have to solve it when they get it up.
I stumbled all the way to the bedroom with Ji Chenfeng, and he pushed me onto the bed. I thought it would be just like before, even the position was set up to facilitate him, but his fingers avoided that position and went further down.
“Your mother…” I want to ask him where he is touching? As a result, when I lifted my upper body and met the look in his eyes, I instantly covered my mouth with a palm.
As I exhaled tremblingly, the hot and damp breath hit the palm like an infection, and the fingertips unconsciously began to tremble.
“Is this okay?” Ji Chenfeng held my legs down and asked in a hoarse voice.
