Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 59 - 59 Nosy...

When Luo Lixi was waiting for him, she thought he would take some minutes. Her back unconsciously leaned on the door while she was waiting. So when he opened it, she fell backwards but luckily was saved by him. Before she could open her mouth, Sheng Ruming covered her lips with his right hand. 

Puzzled, she looked up at him as he showed her the ongoing phone. She nodded slightly as he removed his hand from her lips.  

He took her hand as they started to walk in the corridor while his other hand placed the phone by his ear.

"It is very rare for you to call me." Sheng Ruming told the person on the phone.

...

At the 'Yan' farmhouse....

The supposed little gathering between friends became a huge one. When Wei Airan called Chu Bainian to come to the gathering, the latter was playing mah-jong with many ladies in her house. 

When they heard that Sheng Ruming would go away abroad for some months and madam Sheng arranged a little get-together at the 'Yan' farmhouse, they also called her one by one if they could also come.

Of course, the type of woman Wei Airan was, she immediately agreed without a second thought. So, now several families came to the 'Yan' farmhouse to get a chance to meet Sheng Ruming. Also, it didn't take some time as very soon the news broke out in group chat. So, Many friends of Sheng Haotin also came. It's more like a special occasion now.

The farmhouse had a very spacious rooftop. Yan Luhan had placed many sofas, tables as well as other things on there so that they could relax in the open air, also they could enjoy the sky. At a side, he made a wall and turned it into a wooden rack to keep whiskies and wine.

Currently six people were on the rooftop while Yan Luhan, Wang Haixiao and Ji Yanli were sitting on sofas. They were drinking Cheval Blanc while Feng Alin was trying to force Mu Jiang to drink a bottle of Jack Daniels. The latter knew the bad intention of the brat so he didn't give a chance to Feng Alin. 

When Feng Alin saw his effort was wasted he took the bottle in a rather dejected mood and walked away. Mu Jiang grabbed this chance and picked a big glass of whisky from the side.

But he didn't know it was prepared by Feng Alin beforehand. It was Tequila shots with JD whisky and vodka. Mu Jiang gulped down the glass at one go. 

Feng Alin turned his head and flashed him a sly smile. Mu Jiang saw it by chance as he remembered the glass was placed in the table by Feng Alin before. He grabbed his head with his two hands and screamed internally.

Feng Shaoling was standing by the railing as he was glancing on the phone screen. Feng Alin walked beside him and gulped down some mouthfuls of whisky. 

The latter looked at him as he chuckled,"If you want to call then call him. What is there to hesitate?" He leaned his back on the railing while his two hands rested on top of it. The arrogant young crossed his two legs into a beautiful arc as he gazed upon the black sky upon them.

"Don't drink too much. You will become drunk."

"So, what if I drink?" Feng  Alin smirked as he shook the bottle.

"Nothing." Feng Shaoling told him as he snatched the already half-finished bottle and went away.

"Heh! Nosy." The young man mumbled. He ran his hand through his silky brown locks.

Feng Shaoling went up to the only woman among them. 

"What did he say?"

Ji Yanli swirled her glass as she looked straight, not looking at anything; only the faraway distance. Today she wore a traditional plum flower-printed blue qipao while her hair was done straight, not appearing out of place at all.

"He is showering. Someone will notify him about the gathering." 

Ji Yanli spoke while taking a sip from her glass. After finishing the whisky, she put the glass on the front table with a thud. Her cheeks turned a vague red due to her drinking. She turned towards the standing man beside her as she rested her chin on her right hand. 

"You can call him again. I don't think he will pick up, also…" 'Won't come tonight.' The later half stuck in her throat as she leaned backwards.

"Also what?" Wang Haixiao asked from the side.

"Aslo…, there is nothing." She told him. 

Feng Shaoling stared at the woman for some seconds after he went up to the glass railings. 

As he unlocked his phone and clicked the green icon, the name Ming showed up in the log. There was a teenage boy's pic attached beside the number. He dialled it again while the screen showed the image of Sheng Ruming. Earlier he also called him but the phone was busy. 

This time however, it rang only for a few seconds before it was picked up. He waited for the man to say something while he remained quiet. But there was no one's voice for some time except some rustling sounds. He checked the phone if it was okay when he heard a simple line from him.

"It is very rare for you to call me."

"Yes. I know. Are you coming right now?" Feng Shaoling asked him.

There was no greeting, no courtesy; only the lines they wanted to speak.

Then, Sheng Ruming was walking down the stairs with Luo Lixi. They reached the dining table as the couple sat down to eat. There were already two cutleries sets for them placed on the table for them.

Luo Lixi opened the lids of the covered foods. Soon, the aroma of the yellowish omelet began to come while aromas of many other dishes got mixed into the air. Just looking at the beautifully done dishes made, whipped their appetite.
