Stealing Your Heart

Shen Peichuan turned his head towards Su Zhan slowly. His tone was as cold as ice as he spoke, “I’m not in the mood for jokes, Su Zhan.”

Su Zhan took a good look at the other man’s face. He stopped smiling when he realized Shen Peichuan was being serious. “Tell me what happened.”

“It’s nothing. I was just in a bad mood all of a sudden.” Shen Peichuan downed his entire glass in one go.

“I’m feeling a lot better now,” he said while putting his glass down.

Su Zhan wasn’t buying it. “Come on, man! We’re brothers! You don’t have to hide it from me, you know?”

“Who are you calling a bro? You only care about women!” Shen Peichuan tried to play it cool, teasing him.

“Hey, I wouldn’t be here right now if that was the case!” Su Zhan poured him another glass. “You want to drink? Fine, I’ll drink with you! We’re not going home until we’re both wasted!”

Shen Peichuan refused to drink from the glass Su Zhan poured for him, so the latter held the glass up to his mouth. “Come on, young men like you should drink more alcohol!”

“You’re the young one here!” Shen Peichuan pushed his hand away and stood up. “I’m leaving.”

Su Zhan followed beside him and placed an arm around his shoulder. “Man, you’re such a buzzkill! You asked me to come and drink with you, yet you’re leaving before we even get started? Don’t expect me to believe you ever again, you liar!”

Shen Peichuan felt goosebumps all over and shuddered upon hearing that. “Damn it! Quit fooling around, will you?”

“What? It’s not like I’m trying to get you in bed or anything! I’m straight, okay?”

Shen Peichuan began to regret his decision of calling his friend over.

Why did I invite him, of all people, to keep me company? I must’ve been out of my mind!

The waiter approached them with the bill, and Su Zhan pointed his finger at Shen Peichuan. “He’s paying.”
