Chapter 42: A Moment of Impulse
Could it be that they were pretending nothing was wrong, while their Mental Seas were actually already in terrible condition?
No.
Once they got home, he had to examine them carefully. If they dared hide anything from him, he would definitely be angry.
For some reason, Nan Yun and Nan Zhen both felt a chill run down their backs.
As soon as they got home, Nan Yu dragged them into the room specially prepared for them and had them lie down on reclining chairs.
Only after carefully examining them one by one did Nan Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they hadn't hidden anything from him. Otherwise...
After removing some of the mental contamination from them, Nan Yu asked,
“You really haven't reduced your intake of Ability Beast meat?”
Nan Yun and Nan Zhen sat up and looked at him seriously.
“Of course not. We just temporarily went to a few other Mental Power Users. Xiao Yu, you won't be angry, right?”
Nan Yu rolled his eyes.
“Why would I be angry? As long as you two are healthy, I'm relieved. By the way, when is Dad coming back?”
Nan Yun answered,
“He went out on a mission. It'll probably take another month or so before he returns. Don't worry, this mission isn't particularly dangerous.”
Nan Yu relaxed slightly.
“That's good.”
The three brothers happily ate together.
But Bai Zhouyun was in no mood to be cheerful.
After watching Nan Yu leave with his two brothers, frustration had been building inside him. Yet he really didn't have the courage to challenge Nan Yun and Nan Zhen, so he could only watch helplessly as they left.
Having nowhere to vent his anger, he went straight to Floating Colors.
Wasn't everyone saying he liked going to Floating Colors?
Fine.
Then he'd go and let them see it!
If Bai Zhouyun had calmed down, he definitely wouldn't have done such a thing.
But he was currently seething with anger and had no spare brainpower to think things through.
Normally, when he went to Floating Colors, he would at least disguise himself somewhat.
But this time, he openly parked his hovercraft right at the entrance and had one of the attendants take it away for parking.
He even deliberately stood at the entrance for several seconds before walking in.
His purpose was obvious.
He wanted people around him to see.
However, the moment both feet stepped through the doors of Floating Colors, he began to regret it.
Only now did he realize that he had acted somewhat impulsively.
But turning around and leaving now would be too embarrassing.
So he simply steeled himself and walked farther inside.
Since he'd already come this far, he might as well go all the way.
Given Nan Yu's feelings for him, once Nan Yu saw him entering a place like this, he would definitely be unable to resist coming to find him.
Maybe then he wouldn't even need to expend much effort before Nan Yu obediently returned to his side.
Bai Zhouyun walked all the way to his private room.
Every member of Floating Colors had an exclusive room, and as a member, he naturally had one as well.
It was the very room where he and Yun Feiyu had always met.
Though Floating Colors had a bad reputation, its privacy inside was excellent, and Bai Zhouyun had always been satisfied with that.
But...
Nan Yun's words earlier still left him feeling extremely uncomfortable.
People who came to Floating Colors came to play with men and women?
Thinking about it, Bai Zhouyun wanted to get angry, but then he realized that he had indeed come here to have fun.
It was just that the person he was playing with wasn't someone from here—it was the person he liked.
Wait.
This was true love.
How could that be called playing around?
He genuinely loved Yun Feiyu.
In Bai Zhouyun's eyes, Yun Feiyu understood him better than anyone in the world.
He always soothed his irritable moods and was an excellent choice for a partner.
Unlike Nan Yu.
Nan Yu always expected him to think about his feelings.
Didn't Nan Yu know that he'd been spoiled rotten since childhood?
If Nan Yu knew what Bai Zhouyun was thinking, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
After all, who among them hadn't grown up spoiled?
Anyway, the more Bai Zhouyun thought about it, the angrier he became.
And since Yun Feiyu, the person best at comforting him, wasn't here, he simply gave up trying to maintain appearances and called over a young-looking boy with a pure and innocent appearance to drink with him.
Though he was called a boy, he merely looked young.
In reality, he was over ten years older than Bai Zhouyun.
He just looked much younger than him.
When Bai Zhouyun saw him, he suddenly felt that those eyes resembled Nan Yu's.
Staring into them almost felt like looking at Nan Yu himself.
Immediately, his interest was piqued.
“You, come here. Drink with me!”
The young man obediently walked over, smiling as he poured wine and accompanied him.
Before long, Bai Zhouyun naturally drank himself into a complete stupor.
Completely drunk, he pointed at the young man and laughed foolishly.
“Nan Yu, oh Nan Yu, look at you! Didn't you still obediently come back to my side in the end?”
“I know you love me. I know you can't leave me. Earlier you threw a tantrum and kept refusing to forgive me. But look, look! The moment I came here, you got jealous, didn't you?”
“So what now? Hurry up and apologize to me. I might consider forgiving you...”
The young man immediately understood who this “Nan Yu” was.
And naturally, he knew who Bai Zhouyun was.
Practically everyone on the Capital Star knew about the engagement between Bai Zhouyun and Nan Yu.
And nearly everyone felt that trash like Bai Zhouyun was unworthy of such an outstanding Mental Power User.
But that was their family matter.
Outsiders couldn't interfere.
As bystanders, people could only occasionally sigh with regret.
But the young man hadn't expected to hear this useless fool revealing his true thoughts while drunk.
Tentatively, he whispered an apology into Bai Zhouyun's ear, his warm breath brushing against it.
Immediately, Bai Zhouyun pulled him into his arms.
“What? Can't hold back anymore? You want to cook the raw rice into cooked rice with me?”
The young man blinked.
He had only come to accompany him for drinks, not to sleep with him.
Still, some hugging and cuddling was fine.
As long as they paid extra.
“I'd like to, but would you be willing?”
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhouyun actually agreed.
“Of course! You've loved me for so many years, following me around like a dog and trying to please me. You made me angry for so long this time, but I'm generous. Since you've apologized, I'll forgive you.”
“And you love me so much. You've definitely been coveting me for a long time, right? Now big brother will satisfy you! Hehehe...”
Seeing Bai Zhouyun puckering his lips and coming in for a kiss, the young man jumped in fright.
Instinctively, he chopped him on the neck with his hand.
Bai Zhouyun collapsed onto the sofa and fainted.
Only then did the young man breathe a sigh of relief.
“That scared me to death.”
“You look decent on the outside, but you're actually a useless piece of trash and a lecher too.”
“No wonder everyone says Nan Yu, such an outstanding Mental Power User, is completely wasted on someone like you.”
