His Honey Chapter 10

Chapter 10

---

Wei Boheng asked Xiao Yichi out for dinner.

Xiao Yichi insisted on picking him up from his neighbourhood. "Is your ex-boyfriend still contacting you?" He asked when they met.

"I've blocked him."

"... After that night, did you have a good talk?"

Wei Boheng sighed, "I can't forgive him for cheating. There's nothing to talk about anymore."

"Okay." Xiao Yichi was straightforward, not saying anything more.

Wei Boheng was grateful to him, "Thank you for coming here today."

He obviously didn't have a car so he could have picked him up, but he didn't let him, instead, he took a taxi and rushed here himself. It seemed redundant, but it was full of caring ceremonialism, making one feel at ease and touched.

Xiao Yichi fastened his seatbelt, and the corner of his mouth rose, "It's okay, I'm an idle person now. Once I start working, I won't be able to do as I please." He remembered something, "... That lawyer circle of yours, there are no strange rumours, right?"

Wei Boheng started the car, "Speaking of which, I had thought that there would be all sorts of rumours to deal with, but the situation wasn't that bad. Everyone only sympathised with the fact that I was in a bad situation, nothing more."

Xiao Yichi was relieved, "That's good."

After dinner, Xiao Yichi sent Wei Boheng downstairs himself before leaving. When he was leaving, Wei Boheng spoke up, "Why don't... you come up to my place and have a seat?"

This invitation was too rich in connotations.

Regardless of the meaning, Xiao Yichi only smiled, "Look at me, I'm empty-handed. The first time I come to your home, I should have a gift; next time, I'll come back when I'm ready with a gift."

Wei Boheng nodded, "Okay. Then be careful on your way back."

"Will do, don't worry."

Xiao Yichi walked out of Wei Boheng's neighbourhood and walked to the side of the main road.

He behaved quite well in front of others.

Xiao Yichi took out his cigarette case, shook out a cigarette, bit onto it, lit it and took a drag.

He has begun to be dishevelled behind others.

He was in a rather low mood. The period with Yu Zhinian in the small park seemed uneventful, but the aftermath was full of energy and has not yet recovered.

It would have been better to make a big fuss or have a fight at that time, so that it would have hurt. Moreover, at that time, he even said that he would find an excuse for the aunts, which would be difficult.

This break has to drag on and on, it is not clean.

He suddenly wanted to drink. Xiao Yichi stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can, then beckoned a taxi, sat down in it and told the driver, "Master, please go to the busiest bar in the city."

Yu Zhinian recovered from a bad cold.

He put Snoopy back in the box and closed the lid. Then stood in front of the wardrobe mirror in his suit. Mhmm, the colour was good.

Negative emotions are inevitably amplified when people are sick, which is followed by pretentiousness and vulnerability. When you get better, you'll be fine.

Lawyer Yu was fully dressed and ready to get back to work.

He was a different person from the miserable man lying in bed before.

In the evening, Yu Zhinian invited all the members of the project team under him to dinner to thank them for their excellent work during his period of illness.

La Luna was the biggest and liveliest bar in the city – and also had the most mixed bag of characters.

Xiao Yichi drank and danced his heart out to the flashing blue and red laser lights and booming dance music.

After dancing for who knows how long, he returned to the bar drenched in sweat. An exquisitely dressed young boy approached him with a drink in his hand, "Brother, I've been watching you since earlier, would you like to spend some time together tonight?"

Tobacco, alcohol, various perfumes, hot sweat, all kinds of scents mixed and intertwined, stimulating the senses.

Xiao Yichi looked down at him and smiled lightly, "Youngster, you'd better go find someone your own age to have a good time, Uncle will entertain himself tonight."

The young man looked regretful, "Then have a drink with me?"

As he said that, he handed over his own glass of wine and invited Xiao Yichi to drink.

Xiao Yichi grabbed his waist, "My mom told me not to drink alcohol given by strangers, sorry." After saying that, he let go of him and smiled crookedly.

The young man pouted, stomped his foot, and said to the bartender, "Mix this charming big brother a cosmopolitan, on me."

The bartender started briskly.

"I'll leave as soon as I see you finish your drink." The young man relented.

"Okay." Xiao Yichi picked up the drink that the bartender pushed to his side and drank it all in one go.

The young man clapped and regretfully exited the scene.

Xiao Yichi returned to the dance floor.

Before dancing for more than a moment, Xiao Yichi realised that something was wrong – his whole body was heating up, his head suddenly became heavy, and his desire was ignited.

He held his forehead with one hand and accelerated his pace through the crowd to look for the exit. Who would have thought that instead of finding the exit, a few people suddenly came out of the shadows and blocked him, covering his mouth and dragging him towards a dark passageway.

On the other side, Yu Zhinian and his party were planning to switch to the late-night scene, and at this time, there was an incoming call on his cell phone.

"Hello?" Yu Zhinian picked it up while walking.

Listening to it, he suddenly stopped, his expression growing colder, "... Disappeared from the bar?"

"The bodyguard is still looking, 'he' should still be in the bar, we'll figure it out. This unexpected situation requires timely notification to you, the lawyer, please do not inform the client first, we will solve it properly..."

Yu Zhinian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "In which bar? Send me the bodyguard's contact information."

Ending the call, Yu Zhinian turned around just in time to see Nan Jing. He threw his wallet to him, "Later, you can use any card inside to settle the bill... I've got something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing that his complexion was as cold as ice, Nan Jing didn't ask much, "Do you need me to contact a car urgently?"

Yu Zhinian had already taken a few steps out, "It's too late."

Just as the elevator arrived, he got in and made a call, "Boss Lin, it's me, Yu Zhinian. I'd like to ask you for a favour, there's an important guest inside your La Luna whose whereabouts are unknown for the time being. Please contact the person in charge to close all the exits so we can have someone search for him. I will let you know the details later... Okay, okay, thank you!"

When he arrived at the underground parking lot, he stepped out of the elevator and quickly walked towards his car.

Xiao Yichi's world was spinning, but he retained consciousness and struggled.

"Settle down!" The person covering his mouth got impatient and growled lowly. This was the opening. Xiao Yichi struck back with his elbow, grabbed the other person's arm and threw him forward. There was a wall in front of him, and the man cried out in pain as he was viciously pressed against the wall, with Xiao Yichi holding his face against the wall. Xiao Yichi pulled his hair down, holding back his discomfort as he asked, "Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, the accomplice kicked him to the ground. Xiao Yichi's mind was buzzing.

"Hey! We're just taking racy pictures of him in bed with someone else, don't hit him too hard!"

"Didn't you see it just now, this kid is the one who is vicious!"

Xiao Yichi struggled to get up.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting rang out. Xiao Yichi didn't have the strength to turn around and check, he just wanted to escape from here. He held onto the wall and walked forward in confusion.

So hot, so thirsty, so desperate for sex.

Suddenly, someone offered him a hand. Xiao Yichi reacted in a state of agitation and threw a backhanded punch, which was blocked, "Mr. Xiao, I'm here to save you. The relief is over here, come on."

"Let go of me!" God damn it, I just came for a drink and a dance. What bad luck.

The other party had a lot of strength and forcefully pressed Xiao Yichi to go in that direction.

The door suddenly opened, and fresh air suddenly rushed in.

"Xiao Yichi." Someone called out to him.

Yu Zhinian took Xiao Yichi from the bodyguard.

"Scram! Don't touch me!" Xiao Yichi attacked indiscriminately. He swung a punch and the other party blocked it. In one fell swoop, the other party held both of his wrists.

He wanted to pull back, but Yu Zhinian firmly clasped them, not letting him succeed. Xiao Yichi practised boxing and kung fu with Da Shan and the others in order to protect himself in a crisis, while Yu Zhinian practised kung fu since he was a child in order to protect his face from being hurt.

"He seems to have been drugged with... aphrodisiacs." The bodyguard informed him.

"Go get the car." Yu Zhinian turned his head and ordered the bodyguard.

"Okay." The bodyguard quickly left.

On this side, Xiao Yichi was still struggling.

"It's me, Yu Zhinian!" Yu Zhinian saw that he had a flushed face, "... Can you see me clearly now?"

Xiao Yichi tried to look, but could only see a faint outline.

Yu Zhinian?

Yu Zhinian.

Yu Zhinian...

Under the effect of the drug, Xiao Yichi's consciousness was completely overridden by his instincts.

He softened and Yu Zhinian let go of his hands, but he suddenly pressed Yu Zhinian towards the rough wall of the back alley and kissed him violently.

Yu Zhinian was startled. His lips slightly opened, and the other man's tongue marched in.

This kiss was wild and vicious, like it was trying to suck all the oxygen out of his lungs.

Yu Zhinian almost forgot to resist. When it was hard to breathe, he firmly grasped Xiao Yichi's shoulders and pushed him away, "Do you even know who I am?!"

Xiao Yichi looked at him, with him in his eyes and yet seemingly without him. His eyes were wet and his lips were still glistening with moisture. He was confused, and moved to the side of Yu Zhinian's neck to sniff vigorously, "You smell good..."

Yu Zhinian turned his head to the side, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yichi slammed into him again. This time, he looped his arms around Yu Zhinian's neck and inserted his fingers into the other party's hair, deepening the kiss, and rubbing his body tightly against his.

Yu Zhinian's teeth pressed hard, and Xiao Yichi let go in pain, his lip bleeding.

Yu Zhinian reached out, his thumb forcefully wiped away the blood that flowed down his face, and his voice was hoarse, "Xiao Yichi, I'm Yu Zhinian."

Xiao Yichi, however, took his hand and brought it down to his crotch.

The headlights flashed and the bodyguard drove the car over.

Yu Zhinian drew his hand back at once and forcefully pressed him towards the back seat of the car.

The bodyguard hurriedly opened the car door, Yu Zhinian shielded Xiao Yichi's head and pushed him into the car before getting in himself.

The bodyguard returned to the driver's seat, "Mr. Yu, where are we going now?"

Before Yu Zhinian could say anything, Xiao Yichi wrapped himself around him again and sat across Yu Zhinian's body, cupping his face with both hands and kissing him.

The kiss had a bloody flavour. Before Yu Zhinian could push him away, his own mouth stung.

Xiao Yichi also bit him. They looked at each other within arm's reach, Xiao Yichi's eyes were ablaze with desire, leaping around like a dancer's seductive moves.

"You're hard too," Xiao Yichi said like an innocent child. He pressed up against Yu Zhinian's chest, whispering softly in his ear, "Zhinian, I want to have sex with you..."

Yu Zhinian's lower abdomen tightened violently. He closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them, a hand knife was fast and accurate, knocking Xiao Yichi unconscious.

He gave orders to the bodyguard who didn't dare to turn around, "Go to the hospital!"

Xiao Yichi slowly opened his eyes and blinked, his vision gradually coming into focus. As far as the eye could see, the ceiling was a bit familiar.

"Mr. Xiao, you're awake?" Xiao Yichi turned his head and saw the nurse standing beside the bed, with an IV pole beside him.

He remembered, this was the private hospital Yu Zhinian had brought him to previously.

With it, he remembered the memories of last night's craziness.

It was like opening the window during a storm, letting the wind and rain pour in. Those fragments of memories clattered and scraped at his face and body, making it impossible for him to avoid them, so he could only cover his face with both hands.

Seeing him suddenly cover his face, the nurse stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Xiao, is something wrong?"

Xiao Yichi took a deep breath, then lowered his hands, shook his head and weakly said, "It's fine."

"The doctor is coming, wait a moment." After saying that, the nurse left.

How could he be fine?

The broken memories were enough for him to realise that he had laid his hands all over Yu Zhinian last night.

He raised his hand and touched his lips, "Hiss-" he gasped.

It was both painful and humiliating.

He really forced a kiss on Yu Zhinian last night, and was also bitten by the other party.

He covered his eyes with one hand.

What a disgrace.

The doctor knocked on the door and came in to give him a checkup. After asking a few routine questions, he informed him at the end, "Mr. Xiao, you are currently okay, you can be discharged after another two hours of observation if everything is okay."

"Thank you."

"When Lawyer Yu left, he instructed the head nurse to explain the admission details to you in detail, the head nurse is in a meeting, she will come soon."

"... Okay." The doctor was ready to turn around and leave, but Xiao Yichi called out to him, "... Is Lawyer Yu okay?"

"You can rest assured, it was just a minor injury for him, he'll be fine soon."

Minor injury? He wouldn't have injured him, would he? Xiao Yichi's brain hurt, he really couldn't remember this.

Not long after the doctor left, the head nurse came in.

The medical staff of the private hospital had a very good attitude. The head nurse informed him that it was Yu Zhinian who sent him in, and after the emergency treatment was over, the doctor issued a detailed statement of injuries, then the police sent someone over to understand the situation and collect evidence.

"Lawyer Yu told the officer he would bring you in for a statement after making sure your physical and mental condition was okay. He asked me to let you know when you woke up."

"Thanks."

"Lawyer Yu had work to do and left first. Do you need us to call a car for you when you leave the hospital?"

"No need." Xiao Yichi sat up by himself, "I can walk by myself."

"Okay. Your clothes, wallet and cell phone are in the drawer." The head nurse pulled open the nightstand drawer to show him.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Would you like to rest a little longer? Press the pager if you need anything."

Xiao Yichi nodded.

After the head nurse left, Xiao Yichi took the clothes out, and was greeted by a smell of mixed wine and sweat.

God, just how rude he was last night... It's not only strong, but also smells bad.

Even if Xiao Yichi was so shameless, he now wanted to drill a hole in the ground and bury himself for a hundred years.

Yu Zhinian probably hates him to death.

He was not his cup of tea in the first place, yet he took advantage of him and even had to be sent to the hospital. Moreover, he was injured and he must be responsible for it.

He previously said that he would no longer be in contact with the other party, so how did he get into such a big mess?

It was only then that Xiao Yichi became concerned – Why was he drugged? Why did Yu Zhinian save him?

It's useless to think too much, he'll find out more later when he gives his statement.

Xiao Yichi went to the washroom to wash his face, and when he looked in the mirror, his face was haggard. Although the wound on his lower lip had been treated, the inflammation had not subsided and it was swollen, making him look like a sausage.

How hard did Yu Zhinian resist... Xiao Yichi fell into self loathing again.

Xiao Yichi left the hospital wearing a mask and carrying the medicine to treat the kick injury on his waist.

He took out his cell phone and hesitated on whether to send a message to Yu Zhinian.

At least to say thank you.

There was still the need to apologise some other day.

That's good too. This matter can be used as a reason for them to completely break up. Yu Zhinian probably won't want to see him again, so the aunts will gradually fade away.

Xiao Yichi typed in the dialog box: I am discharged from the hospital. Thank you. I still have scattered memories of last night. I am so sorry for what I did to you. I heard that you were also injured, if I caused it, I'm sorry.

After repeatedly confirming that the wording was okay, he clicked send.

Yu Zhinian's cell phone chimed with a message tone.

He had just come out of the shower with a towel around his waist, and checked it while rubbing his hair.

He stopped rubbing his hair.

He knew that Xiao Yichi wouldn't remember the most important part.

The other party had been drugged with an aphrodisiac and was delirious, so whatever he said or did was not of his own will and could not be taken into account.

Yu Zhinian lightly touched the injury on his lips with his hand, which still hurt a little.

It looked like he would have to continue to wear a mask today.

He sent Xiao Yichi to the hospital last night, on the one hand, because he was worried about the composition of the drug, and on the other hand, to let professionals issue authoritative certificates to establish Xiao Yichi's identity as a victim – No one who has bad intentions can escape.

After the doctor diagnosed and confirmed that Xiao Yichi did not have any major problems, Yu Zhinian dealt with the wound on his lips, put on a mask, and assisted the police in returning to La Luna to transfer the surveillance for evidence.

He was busy until dawn before he went home to change and wash up.

During this time, the hospital had called to inform him that Xiao Yichi had woken up and was physically and mentally alright.

Now he received a message from Xiao Yichi.

How should he reply to him?

The other party still has bits and pieces of memory, he really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.

He put the cell phone down.

Before, Xiao Yichi forgot to reply to him, so he did the same thing.

Xiao Yichi suffered.

After returning home, he held his cell phone for the whole day and waited for the message.

Did Yu Zhinian read the message? Or has he read it and not replied? Or is he really busy and has no time to read it?

Ai.

He had no intention of doing anything else, and waited.

At this time, the memories of last night surfaced in his mind again.

What else did he remember?

He only remembered the other's soft lips and firm body. In a daze, he seemed to touch the other party's hardened crotch through the fabric, and the size was very large...

Xiao Yichi shook his head, what was he thinking? This was not a scenario that could be fantasised about. He had disregarded the other's wishes, which qualified as molestation.

He himself must have been in a state of disgrace, like a monkey in heat.

It wasn't as if he was a beautiful person, so he must have looked rather unbearable, like a famished monkey.

In the afternoon, Yu Zhinian finally replied to the message, asking Xiao Yichi to wait at the entrance of the neighbourhood, so that he could pick him up in order to go to the police station to make a statement.

Xiao Yichi read it and remained depressed – Yu Zhinian did not respond to his apology.

He stood on the side of the road wearing a mask and watched as Yu Zhinian's Mercedes Benz drove to a stop in front of him.

Yu Zhinian was also wearing a mask.

Very good. With two layers of masks separating them, they could be silent all the way, and they didn't have to see each other's complexion.

Xiao Yichi got into the car, "... Thank you."

Yu Zhinian only hummed.

The car was quiet, so quiet that Xiao Yichi was uncomfortable and uneasy.

He turned his head to look out the window in an attempt to change his mood.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at their destination.

Most of Yu Zhinian's clients were rich and famous, and he himself was not insignificant, so the police station sent someone out to receive them.

The police arrested several people and clarified the circumstances of the case.

In addition to Xiao Yichi, Wei Boheng's ex-boyfriend was at La Luna that night.

He recognized Xiao Yichi. At that time, he was distressed by Wei Boheng's decision to block him. Angry at the sight of Wei Boheng's current partner and encouraged by alcohol and his friends, he was impulsive and planned such a farce in the spur of the moment – taking photos of Xiao Yichi in bed with someone else and forcing Xiao Yichi to break up with Wei Boheng.

If Xiao Yichi agreed to spend a night with the young man at that time, they were not going to drug him; but Xiao Yichi refused, so they resorted to plan b, having the bartender, who had been paid in advance, quietly mix the drug in.

After Xiao Yichi drank the drug, they wanted to get him to the car and let the young man play; who knew that halfway through, not only did Xiao Yichi fight back, but Cheng Yaojin came out and beat them up.

After that, the police arrested them without much trouble.

After Xiao Yichi gave his statement, Yu Zhinian asked him, "... The other party is Wei Boheng's ex-boyfriend, what are you going to do?"

"... Can I think about it first?"

Yu Zhinian responded, "I'll negotiate with the police." Then he went to find the relevant person in charge.

When they came out of the police station, Xiao Yichi received a call from Wei Boheng.

His ex-boyfriend had called him from the police station.

Yu Zhinian's car stopped at the small park near the neighbourhood.

Wei Boheng was already waiting for them.

Seeing Xiao Yichi, Wei Boheng approached with a worried face, "Yichi, are you okay?"

Xiao Yichi nodded, "I'm fine now."

"I'm sorry, I caused you to encounter such a thing."

Wei Boheng apologised profusely.

"It's not your fault, you don't have to apologise." Xiao Yichi said.

Wei Boheng carefully asked, "My ex-boyfriend's matters... what are you going to do?"

Yu Zhinian parked the car and walked to wait a few metres away from them.

"Those who do evil cannot be tolerated." Xiao Yichi was succinct.

Wei Boheng's expression became subtle, "I understand, he must be punished if he did something wrong."

"But," Wei Boheng licked his lips and struggled to say, "he was just confused for a moment, and his company is just getting on track... Yichi, I know I'm out of line for saying this, and he definitely needs to be punished... can you... be a little lighter?"

The implication was for Xiao Yichi to not pursue an injury charge against the other party.

Yu Zhinian walked up at this time, stopping beside Xiao Yichi and looking at them, "How's the talk going?"

Seeing Xiao Yichi's serious eyebrows, he said a sentence to Wei Boheng, who also had a bad expression, "... Lawyer Wei, you also study law."

Wei Boheng's face turned white and he lowered his head.

Xiao Yichi spoke, "Boheng, I'm sorry, I can't do it. The law is the bottom line of morality, I don't want to break through the bottom line."

Wei Boheng smiled bitterly at his words and seemed relieved again, "I understand... I'm sorry for making things difficult for you. I also tried to intercede on his behalf, sort of counteracting the feelings from all those years."

As Wei Boheng left, he once again said to Xiao Yichi, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Yichi shook his head.

Because Xiao Yichi was wearing a mask, Yu Zhinian couldn't see his expression at the moment, "... I thought you would not pursue this for his sake."

"I hesitated. But why should I make him owe me a favour? From the moment he dropped the 'but', it was impossible for us. I don't like the idea of either party bringing a compromising mentality to a relationship."

Yu Zhinian wanted to take off his mask to see his expression as he said this.

He just raised his hand to look at his watch, "... Then I'll leave first, I still have to contact the police."

"Lawyer Yu," Xiao Yichi gazed at him, "thank you. And... I'm sorry." There was sincere gratitude, chagrin, apologies and caution in his eyes, "We shouldn't contact each other again in the future."

"... Who knows what could happen to you that just so happens to happen to me as well?" Yu Zhinian slightly turned his face to the side, "I saved you this time because it just so happened that I was also in La Luna."

Xiao Yichi dropped his head.

Yu Zhinian suddenly felt his heart clench. He wasn't used to the other party looking defeated.

Unable to say anything soft at the moment, he only said, "I'm leaving."

Xiao Yichi looked up, his eyes were still shadowed as he waved his hand at him, "... Lawyer Yu, goodbye."
