Chapter 147: Top Student’s little Desktop Pet 22 (part 1 of 2)
This time, the sense of pressure in this voice became even stronger than before, just like a surge of wind sweeping through the tower which heralds a rising storm in the mountains. It was full of deterrence even when they were separated by the mobile phone’s receiver.
— This was a warning, the last warning call to him.
Having spent so many years together, Shen Tong and Kong Baiji could understand much of each other’s tempers. He knew full well that his big brother was really angry. The second after he regained his senses, he immediately decided to obediently do what he was told. He returned the mobile phone to the uncle security guard, briefly bid farewell to Gu Qiange, then took hurried steps to the direction of Kong Baiji’s car.
Gu Qiange undoubtedly wanted to pull Shen Tong’s hand to prevent him from leaving. But since Kong Baiji came to take his younger brother home with the identity of an elder brother, then he naturally didn’t have any qualifications to stop this. He also couldn’t bear to place Shen Tong in the middle of an awkward situation.
He believes that Kong Baiji wouldn’t precociously reveal that hidden intention towards his younger brother, and wouldn’t destroy this excellent image of a perfect older brother in advance. Therefore, if Shen Tong goes back with Kong Baiji, there should just be a few elder-style criticism at most, and shouldn’t lead to anything too serious. So, after a moment of hesitation, he eventually retracted his outstretched hand that intended to stop Shen Tong from leaving, and silently watched him leave.
Gu Qiange’s thought process were indeed correct. But he failed to take into account Kong Baiji’s current state. Kong Baiji was under the influence of alcohol at this moment, and cannot be gauged by the normal thought process at all.
As a matter of fact, Kong Baiji was thoroughly drunk.
Drunk people can be roughly divided into two types. In the first type of drunk, after becoming completely drunk, they become completely flushed, speaks confusing words and will go crazy anywhere. But that is actually just a deliberate borrowing of alcohol to go crazy, as they are still quite clear-headed inwardly. In the other type of drunk, after becoming completely drunk, they will look as if they weren’t drunk. Their appearance and speech will still be very normal. They won’t admit in being drunk, and won’t even feel that they are drunk. However, their sanity would be hovering on the edge of the cliff, their thoughts will be in a complete mess, and they themselves don’t even know what they might do.
Kong Baiji belongs to the latter type.
On the outside, he seemed to be no different from his usual calm appearance during the day. However, his thoughts were already a mess, and was completely unable to think straight at all. His usual nature had already been paralyzed by alcohol, and that paranoid and dark nature, lurking deep inside him, broke out.
The cramped space in the car made the mood even more suffocating. After getting on the car, Shen Tong subconsciously reached out and held the corner of Kong Baiji’s clothes, then softly called out the word big brother.
This action is actually a gesture of complete trust and flattery, — As an older brother, Kong Baiji has always had a firm trust on Shen Tong. But the current Kong Baiji wants more than this trust between relatives. He would’ve preferred the suspicious anxiousness and jealousy, or even selfishness and possessiveness.
Too much possessiveness was similar to falling into the abyss, and Kong Baiji had already fallen into it a long time ago, without any hope of salvation.
His possessiveness towards his younger brother, had gradually became so serious, that it became intolerable for him to see the other spare a few more glances at other people. But he still firmly concealed this from him, so that he would never discover his madness. This crazy possessive type of love, is incurable. In the absence of rationality, the drunk Kong Baiji finally stopped hiding this madness, but released them all instead. The second after Shen Tong had just spoken, he grabbed the the wrist of the other’s hand that held the corner of his clothes.
“.……big brother?”
Shen Tong felt a bit pain because of this grip, that he couldn’t help but call out the word big brother once more, but with a clear hint of doubt this time. Although the smell of alcohol in Kong Baiji wasn’t that strong, but Shen Tong was still able to smell it very easily. Thus, he knitted his brows in concern: “Big brother, why did you drink? Does you head hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable?”
Because in Shen Tong’s impression, Kong Baiji doesn’t drink. Kong Baiji has a vascular headache condition. Although it was practically under control, but drinking alcohol could very likely cause a relapse, even to the point of being hospitalized. So even if he goes out to socialize, he would also drink water as a substitute of alcoholic drinks.
Kong Baiji didn’t respond, but merely tightened the grip he had on his younger brother’s hand, like the last silence of a long dormant beast before hunting. Shen Tong looked at the very chilly side profile of his face, and only felt that the other still looked like his most familiar big brother. The eyes were still that same eyes, and the nose was still the same as well. But the dangerous aura he exudes all over his body, and the repressed madness revealed in his countenance, made him feel strange and flustered.
Has the bug not yet been fixed by the system even until now?
Shen Tong called out to the white floccule, while making a struggle to take his hand back from the other’s grasp. But he discovered that the Zhenqi* in his body, was still the same as when he left this world a few months ago, and had little effect on Kong Baiji. The reason of a drunken man is like walking on a tightrope, which may fall over at any second, and every subtle reaction of Shen Tong determines his next step. — Even if it is broken into pieces, it can still be kept.
*Real qi: decided to keep it as is
But that act of trying to pull back his hand, eventually caused Kong Baiji’s remaining rationality to fall. A circle blue bruise caused by the grip appeared on Shen Tong’s wrist, while his cry of pain also brought no whatsoever effect. Fortunately, the car quickly drove into the residence closest to the clubhouse.
This is a detached villa bought by Kong Baiji a few years back, with a not so big area. He doesn’t come to this place quite often. But during the time of his younger brother’s disappearance, Kong Baiji would constantly stay here for the night due to drunkenness. Shen Tong was caught by Kong Baiji in the wrist, and was pulled straight into the villa from the car in this manner. The other’s pace was fast, so fast that he almost tripped. The main door was firmly shut afterwards, which sounded especially clear in the quiet night.
