It was already night time when Xu Lan prepared to look for Bai Wu. Wang Meng called up and asked him out for a meal with a sobbing voice. Xu Lan’s heart sank and asked for Wang Meng’s address and drove over hurriedly.
In the winter season, it is freezing cold with chilly winds soughing through the streets. Wang Meng only wore a layer of clothing, he sat on the stone block outside of the train station while he sniffled. His eyes turned red the moment he saw Xu Lan got down from the car.
“What are you doing? Get in the car, it’s so cold!” Xu Lan pulled Wang Meng up to his feet and took off his own jacket to put around him.
“Achoo! Hey, now that you’ve mentioned it, it’s fu*king cold!” Wang Meng rubbed his hands together and exhaled warm breath. After rubbing for a while, tears started to fall.
Xu Lan lighted a cigarette and passed to him. He bought it after Bai Wu left, “What happened?”
“Motherf*cker! He… he… he had an affair… The person came to find me several times. I don’t want to be with him anymore.” Wang Meng took the cigarette and gave it a smoke. He could feel that his whole body was bitter.
“Aren’t you going to confront him about this? Could it be a misunderstanding?” Xu Lan had not experienced this before, so he did not know how to start. He smoked the cigarette and flicked the ashes on the car window while he spoke.
“I… I saw them kissing with my own eyes. That b*stard made the first move, what’s more to say? He was so desperate when he saw that I caught him, he took away my identification card and froze my savings! He’s a f*cking lowlife!” Wang Meng shedded tears while he scolded. Xu Lan searched throughout his body and could not find a piece of tissue. He only had the handkerchief that he brought along with him at all times. He unwillingly passed it to Wang Meng so that Wang Meng could blow his nose.
“Uhm, let’s eat first. It’s only been half a year. Seeing you in this condition, you definitely wouldn’t eat properly after you go home huh?” Wang Meng lifted his head but his eyes turned red instantly. He lowered his head again after a brief moment. Xu Lan was shocked by the sight he saw!
“F*ck! Let’s eat first!” Xu Lan put more pressure on the accelerator and found a hotel. He brought him in but was stopped by Wang Meng.
“No, he’ll find me here. Let’s go to a restaurant,” Wang Meng said fearfully, the person who always leads a fast life half a year ago was gone.
Xu Lan accompanied him and drank a fair amount of alcohol. He reprimanded Xiao Feng from the top to bottom and back. While he was at it, he received a call from Bai Wu asking why was he not at home in this hour. Xu Lan answered a few sentences, slurring his words and started scolding again.
It was for his own good. Why did he need to throw tantrums? His brothers were tormented by Qiao Yi to the verge of death, and he also could not wait to go back but he chose not to tell Xu Lan. He wanted to bear everything on his own, he did not treat Xu Lan as his family at all!
It was like when he went to search for Li Xiu alone to beat him up so that Li Xiu could be punished; like when he was worried about Xu Lan being unfamiliar during his first mission, he gave up the opportunity to complete the mission and went to look for Xu Lan, where he even dressed up as Luffy; like when he just finished battling with the dragon warriors and still have strength to catch Li Xiu and find Zhao Ran’s mother.
He thought that Xu Lan would not know if he did not tell him. Just as how he mentioned Xu Lan always treated him like a child, he stubbornly showed only the good side to him.
“… You’re drunk, I’ll come and pick you.” Bai Wu paused to think then said coldly.
The boss of ‘Good Taste’ ran out of luck, two big guys sat down in the shop. No one else dared to enter for a meal. Besides that, these two men kept scolding loudly and even gathered a crowd, leaving him out of business for the day!
Bai Wu reached the provincial capital after two hours of journey by car. An hour has passed since he met up with Xiao Feng before they found them, only to see them still drinking.
“What happened? Why did Xu Lan come to the provincial capital all of a sudden?” Bai Wu asked coldly, radiating power without even getting angry.
“Hmm, a small matter. We quarreled.” Xiao Feng was in the bureaucracy for more than two decades, where he exudes a calm and leisured composure. He said after puffing out a ring of smoke. Of course, this composure was seen after he found Wang Meng.
The restaurant gradually quiets down. Both of them drank a lot. Xu Lan started vomiting everywhere while Wang Meng laid on the table and snoozed off. Suddenly, he sat up and scolded something. Bai Wu could not bear to see this anymore. He walked over quickly and carried Xu Lan out of there.
