My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 209 IF Path - Shall I Chase You, Brother?

Jiang Haochen returned to his apartment in the early hours of the morning.

When he came out of the high-speed rail station, he sent a message to Chi Yuan, but Chi Yuan did not reply. Jiang Haochen guessed that Chi Yuan might be asleep.

Yes, the kid broke up with his girlfriend. His voice sounded like he was crying when he called, so he must have cried himself to sleep.

Just imagining that scene made Jiang Haochen's heart ache.

That blind idiot!

Afraid of waking the sleeping boy inside, Jiang Haochen entered the password very gently. When the door opened, the room was dimly lit, and the boy he had been thinking about all the way was curled up on the sofa in the living room, fast asleep.

Jiang Haochen changed his shoes and tiptoed over. When he got closer, he noticed a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) on the coffee table next to the sofa.

Jiang Haochen frowned. Was Chi Yuan drowning his sorrows in alcohol?

He looked down at the boy on the sofa. The boy's slender body was sunken in the sofa, with only half of his face showing. When he got closer, he could smell a faint smell of alcohol, so he probably hadn't drunk much.

Jiang Haochen picked up the blanket that had fallen to the ground, gently draped it over the boy, and then squatted down in front of the sofa, carefully examining the boy.

His eyes weren't swollen, and there were no tear stains on his face. Judging from this, his younger brother hadn't cried too hard.

This realization inexplicably put Jiang Haochen in a great mood.

Although it was his first love, they didn't end up together. He was just rejected after confessing his feelings. It was already a blessing for that blind man to be able to cry a couple of times.

Jiang Haochen stared at the sleeping boy, imagining what the boy would look like when he cried.

The last time he saw Chi Yuan cry was in the second semester of his first year of high school. Chi Yuan had turned down a winter camp for 5,000 yuan, and he had scolded him angrily. That day, Chi Yuan waited outside his room all night, and he still remembered the look on the boy's face when he opened the door, crying and begging him not to abandon him.

Chi Yuan, you probably see yourself as an older brother.

"Brother?" The sleeping boy woke up at some point, and his bright black eyes met Jiang Haochen's without warning.

Jiang Haochen hurriedly averted his gaze, afraid that the boy would discover his shameful thoughts. He quickly got up: "Awake?"

Chi Yuan didn't sleep at all.

Huang Kai told him that the ultimate goal of fishing is to create an ambiguous atmosphere, and then shared many classic scenes from comics with him.

He summarized the most common methods for creating an ambiguous atmosphere as follows:

First, close eye contact. The closer the distance, the better; ideally, you should be able to hear each other's breathing.

Second, unintentional physical contact. Among them, an accidental kiss is the key to breaking the deadlock.

He thought about it all night and came up with the idea of ​​pretending to be asleep. He was sleeping in the living room, and his brother couldn't possibly ignore him. He wasn't covered with a blanket, so his brother would definitely cover him with one. If his brother covered him with a blanket, he might get closer to him, and as long as he got closer, he would have a chance.

He had planned everything perfectly, but as the time came, he became a little nervous, especially when his brother leaned in and his breath fell on him; he was so nervous that his legs were shaking.

Fortunately, it was successful.

After making eye contact, observe your brother's reaction. If his eyes are clear and open, it proves he still sees you as a younger brother, so continue your efforts. If his eyes dart away and his behavior is flustered, it proves he doesn't have entirely pure intentions.

Chi Yuan recalled his brother's change just now; his eyes seemed a little evasive, and he stood up rather quickly, but...

Now he's completely open and honest again.

Chi Yuan was unsure.

Jiang, the movie star who perfectly concealed his emotions with his acting skills, pointed to the liquor on the coffee table and asked, "You've been drinking?"

Chi Yuan had already sat up from the sofa, his voice low and aggrieved: "I wanted to drink it, but the wine tastes awful."

Jiang Haochen chuckled to himself, thinking to himself, "Who would find alcohol unpleasant when they're sad?" But what he said was, "Who starts by drinking baijiu? Why don't you just take some from my liquor cabinet?"

Chi Yuan didn't speak, but Jiang Haochen already knew the answer: the wine in his wine cabinet was too expensive, and Chi Yuan couldn't bear to part with it.

Jiang Haochen cleared the wine from the coffee table, then took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, picked up two glasses, and came back.

"Brother?" Chi Yuan stared at his brother without blinking.

Jiang Haochen opened a bottle of wine and poured it for the two of them: "I'll drink with you, and then tell me... about your breakup."

Red wine, when swallowed, has no spiciness like white wine, a smooth texture, and a faint fruity aroma. After swallowing, a sweet aftertaste lingers in the mouth.

Chi Yuan's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head to take another sip.

Seeing that the boy liked it, Jiang Haochen smiled and said, "Even if it tastes good, don't drink too much. This wine is just as strong as baijiu."

Chi Yuan's eyes lit up even more.

Jiang Haochen initiated the conversation: "You... confessed your feelings to him today?"

Chi Yuanjing's bright eyes suddenly dimmed. He looked at the bandage still on his brother's forehead and recalled the interactive picture he had seen on Weibo during the day. His brother and Xie Lingzhou, their intimate actions.

Chi Yuan shook his head: "I haven't had a chance to confess yet... He... He already has someone he likes."

It turns out she already had someone else in her heart.

What a scumbag! He already had someone he liked, yet he still hooked up with his brother. He's a monster. What? Why was it the other guy who hooked up with him? Do you even need to ask? His brother is such a good boy; if he'd known the other guy already had someone he liked, would he still have fallen for him?

Jiang Haochen comforted him, "It's okay, you'll meet even better and more outstanding people in the future..."

Jiang Haochen was planning to cook a big pot of chicken soup, but his brother interrupted him before he could even get started.

There will never be anyone better or more outstanding than him.

Jiang Haochen: "..."

It's understandable that someone who just broke up with their boyfriend is still hungover from being in love.

Chi Yuan took another sip of wine, his head bowed, and said bitterly, "Brother, do you know who he likes?"

Jiang Haochen thought to himself, "I don't care who he likes."

Who does he like?

Chi Yuan tightened his grip on the wine glass: "He likes his brother."

Jiang Haochen's heart skipped a beat.

Chi Yuan didn't dare look at Jiang Haochen's expression, afraid he wouldn't be able to continue. He just kept his head down and said to himself, "He's not a biological brother, but an adopted brother. Our relationship is similar, not related by blood. The two of them have a very good relationship, even closer than blood brothers. Everyone around them thinks they have a brotherly bond, but... he's fallen in love with his brother."

Jiang Haochen wanted to curse him as scum, but strangely, what came out of his mouth was: "What about his brother? Does his brother like him too?"

The one he liked was the older brother, whom the younger brother liked first.

"They actually liked each other a long time ago, but his brother always thought it was just brotherly affection, which is why it's been delayed until now."

So how did they... overcome this barrier in their relationship?

Jiang Haochen almost blurted it out, but he held back.

Their situations were different. The brothers liked each other without realizing it, but Chi Yuan had someone he liked, but fortunately, he had already broken up with her.

Not in a hurry.

Taking advantage of Jiang Haochen's inattention, Chi Yuan poured himself another glass of wine. After finishing it, he felt his head was a little dizzy.

Physical contact, right now.

Chi Yuan suddenly stood up, swayed, and fell towards his brother.

Jiang Haochen hurriedly caught the boy and saw that his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were glazed, so he knew that the boy was drunk: "Didn't I tell you not to drink too much?"

Chi Yuan was really drunk. He leaned against Jiang Haochen, slumped over, and nuzzled against his brother's shoulder with his head.

Jiang Haochen smiled helplessly: "Let's go back to our room and sleep."

Chi Yuan followed Jiang Haochen in a daze, and when they reached the bedside, his body fell straight onto the bed. He kept in mind that there were still two things he hadn't done.

{Find an opportunity to get your brother into bed, preferably after he's had some alcohol.}

Now that we've finished drinking, let's get on the bed.

Chi Yuan held onto Jiang Haochen's arm tightly, using the force of his backward lean to pull him down.

Jiang Haochen was caught off guard and fell down as well. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used his arm to cushion the fall just before he hit Chi Yuan. Even so, his body was almost pressed against Chi Yuan's.

"Chi Yuan?"

Chi Yuan's consciousness was waning, but there was still one thing he needed to do.

If you've just broken up with your boyfriend, your brother will definitely comfort you by saying you'll meet someone better in the future. Your response at this time is crucial.

Chi Yuan struggled to open his eyes, looking at his brother with hazy, drunken eyes: "Brother, can I really meet someone better than him?"

Jiang Haochen felt a pang of sadness: "Yes, I will."

Chi Yuan blinked, trying to shake off the drowsiness brought on by the alcohol: "The only person better than him is... my brother."

"Thump, thump-thump!"

My heart is pounding like a drum!

Jiang Haochen had acted in so many dramas, but this was the first time he had truly felt the meaning of this adjective. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst through his chest.

"Chi Yuan? Chi Yuan?"

Jiang Haochen looked at the boy who had fallen into a deep sleep, his voice hoarse, and asked expectantly, "Then... how about I pursue you, brother?"

(Author's note: Don't get your hopes up, Chi Yuan is really asleep this time.)
