At the dinner table Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo sat on the left and right of Xiao Yang Hai, it was obvious that Xiao Yang Hai really liked Wang Yibo, pouring him liquor and serving him food, that liquor happened to be the Nv Er Hong that Xiao Yang Hai had stored preciously for many years. This was prepared by him for Xiao Zhan, he originally thought he would have a daughter, but only to find out that it came with an extra organ, at that time Xiao Yang Hai was pretty disappointed. After that when Xiao Zhan complained about training Xiao Yang Hai would scare him by telling him, if at birth the doctor had accidentally cut his prick off together with his umbilical cord he would be a pampered little princess now, Xiao Zhan could only clamp his legs tightly together, terrified.

Who would have guessed that with Wang Yibo's arrival, Xiao Yang Hai would take the Nv Er Hong out, Xiao Zhan felt that this was an omen. Drinking a fair bit, Xiao Yang Hai had asked everything he could, to the point where he even knew the name of Wang Yibo's great-great-grandfather's dog.

"Dad, stop asking," Xiao Zhan pulled on Xiao Yang Hai's sleeve. "Are you checking his family's registry?"

"Of course I have to check," Xiao Yang Hai pounded the table, the force big enough to cause all dishes on the table to jump. "As a father isn't it normal to examine the family background of his son's partner? Don't you agree?"

"Yes yes yes– wait, what partner?!"

Xiao Zhan nearly bit his tongue, he was about to leap up but was pushed to seat down by Xiao Yang Hai.

"Don't hide it from me, you think I'm old and confused and therefore easy to cheat?"

"No, I didn't, I, I," Xiao Zhan was incoherent. "I didn't, there's nothing between the both of us! Nothing!" He raised his glass. "Our relationship is even more transparent than this 20 years old baijiu!" (T/N: Baijiu is a clear liquor)

"Stop it," Xiao Yang Hai sneered. "Stop lying, stop fucking covering it up, are you still a fucking man?!"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhan answered, his voice bright and loud.

"Then lift your head up and stand proudly! Doesn't matter if you like a man or a woman, as long as it's someone you like it's fine!"

"Yes! No, no–"

Xiao Yang Hai no longer bothered with Xiao Zhan, he turned towards Wang Yibo next to him and lifted his glass, Wang Yibo immediately clinked his glass with him, Xiao Yang Hai embraced Wang Yibo and finished the glass in one mouth, speaking sincerely.

"Wang Yibo ah, Zhan this child, I really owe him a lot in these past years, he grew up without a mother, I also don't know how to bring a child up, always thinking that it was easy with a boy, if the boy wasn't obedient, I just have to beat him up, right? Hahahaha–"

"..."

Xiao Zhan suspected that Xiao Yang Hai was drunk, he had never spoke about this with him, seems like this Nv Er Hong was really very strong, if by the age of 40 he still could not get married, (T/N: Over here the author used the feminine word for marry, implying that Xiao Zhan was to be married into another person's household.) one small kettle of Nv Er Hong would make Xiao Yang Hai drunk till the next morning. Still when Xiao Zhan was about to go support Xiao Yang Hai he was stopped by Wang Yibo, Wang Yibo put a finger to his own lips, Xiao Zhan could only sit compliantly.

"You guys think I'm drunk? I'm still sober, I never told Zhan about this before as I found it too quarrelsome, now that I'm already at this age, if I don't talk about it now I might not have the chance to do so in the future."

Xiao Yang Hai grabbed onto Wang Yibo's hand, folding up both his and Xiao Zhan's hands together, Xiao Zhan wanted to free himself, thinking about it he poked Wang Yibo, asking him to cooperate and use their hands to form a heart shape, good-naturedly smiling at Xiao Yang Hai showing their "love".

"Zhan, you have to treat him nicely, Wang Yibo is a good child, your temper is so bad, too headstrong, don't be stubborn with him, Wang Yibo is younger than you, you have to give in to him, ok?"

"I didn't..."

"Are you back mouthing now!"

"No..."

Xiao Zhan no longer had any hopes of explaining, he felt wronged, Wang Yibo and him, ignoring the fact that they did not sleep with each other, they had not even snored together, why did everyone think that they were the epitome of a model couple?

"Uncle, don't worry, Senior doesn't bully me, he treats me very nicely, he had met my mother, my mother likes him very much too, if there's an opportunity both families should meet up for a meal."

"No problem!"

Xiao Yang Hai cheered up considerably, insisting on finishing the bottle of Nv Er Hong with Wang Yibo, as though they were celebrating Xiao Zhan's marriage to Wang Yibo.

Despite Xiao Yang Hai's multiple invitations, Wang Yibo was still determined to leave, Xiao Zhan naturally walked him to the door.

Their bodies having been heated by the alcohol, the cold wind outside the house sobered them up by quite a bit.

"You should go back in, it's cold."

"I'll send you there," Xiao Zhan blinked, his face flushed due to the liquor. "Why, you don't want me to?"

"No."

One following the other, Xiao Zhan's head ached, their shadows stretching extremely long in the warm streetlights, moving non-stop. Xiao Zhan was bored, he lifted his foot to try to step on Wang Yibo's shadow, but because of the way they walked, he kept missing. Xiao Zhan suddenly managed to step on it, but at the same time he crashed into Wang Yibo's firm back.

Wang Yibo turned around, his wide hand covering the back of Xiao Zhan's neck. His palm was a little colder than Xiao Zhan's neck, Xiao Zhan cringed a little, but did not avoid it. Wang Yibo's head tilted towards Xiao Zhan, both their exhalations smelled strongly of alcohol, brushing past their faces.

Xiao Zhan helplessly closed his eyes, he could already imagine that in 0.01 seconds he would be able to feel the warmth of Wang Yibo's lips. Suddenly he felt a push, having drank till he was a bit dizzy, Xiao Zhan unstably fell backwards.

"Fuck," For the first time ever, Wang Yibo was this furious, he pulled Xiao Zhan up from the ground and quickly ran after someone. "My wallet has been stolen!"
