Chapter 117 : Back To That Key Moment ①

Translators: Sarah

In the end, Jian Chenfeng actually took Shang Ke to Antarctica and the plane traveled for dozens of hours. On the cruise ship, they passed through the Drake passage and encountered a huge wave more than six meters high. The sea water poured into the windows, causing great chaos and was truly a shocking event. He almost thought he was going to die again.

The sea was covered in floating ice and the distant snowy mountains looked as if they were connected with the white clouds. A group of gulls flew by with the cool breeze, the air cold and refreshing. Shang Ke and Jian Chenfeng reached Melchior Island and took countless pictures, then with other travelers they went to Neko Harbour. It was the gathering place of penguins and one of the main purposes of their trip—to see penguins.

On the snowy glaciers, there were plump penguins everywhere. Some of them were hiding in the snow, lying on the rocks, or waddling into the sea… Shang Ke found an opportunity to take a photo with them and they also cooperated with him. But whenever Jian Chenfeng got close, the man would immediately be attacked by a mob of penguins. Shang Ke wondered if the penguins mistook Jian Chenfeng for a large gull? Gulls were egg thieves so they were absolutely at odds with the penguins.

Shang Ke could only express 12% of sympathy for the innocent Jian Chenfeng. As a result, Jian Chenfeng sought several hours of “comfort” in his body, on the grounds that he had suffered a traumatic experience.

Later, they went to Port Lockroy, Petermann Island, Paradise Bay and other places, taking images of their precious memories of the blue sky, white snowy mountains and pure sea.

After playing around outside, Jian Chenfeng’s face was sun-burned while Shang Ke was still glowing with good looks that made even lesbian women straight for him. The gap was even more obvious when he stood beside Jian Chenfeng and his red face. A certain someone gained another traumatic experience in his heart.

When they arrived at the hotel, Shang Ke gave Jian Chenfeng a refreshing moisturizing mask for his face.

Jian Chenfeng refused until Shang Ke threatened him, “If you leave even a bit of a scar on your face, I will find another lover!”

The threat was so vicious that Jian Chenfeng obeyed immediately.

It didn’t matter to him. He was the one in control when it comes to the bed. When Shang Ke gets on the bed later, hmph… There were two green fires in Jian Chenfeng’s eyes.

That night, Shang Ke was eaten thoroughly by a hungry wolf from inside out. He couldn’t leave the hotel for three days.

After Jian Chenfeng’s face returned to its former glory, the two finally embarked on the flight back to China. Their trip lasted for a month after Jiang Donglin and Jian Xin had returned home.

As soon as they arrived in China, Secretary Cui stormed into Jian Chenfeng’s house and threw all his affairs to him. He said resentfully, “I’m fed up with this. I want to take a vacation!”

“Will three times the bonus calm your grumpy mood?” Jian Chenfeng asked seriously.

Secretary Cui bluntly stated with his fingers splayed out in front of him, “At least five times.”

“Deal.” Jian Chenfeng agreed, “From tomorrow, overtime with me.”

Oh, no! Secretary Cui looked as if he were struck by lightning: could you give him another chance to choose?

Jian Chenfeng took over the company’s affairs once more. He first had to resolve the remaining problems caused by the leakage of secrets and the mistakes of his father’s decision-making.

Shang Ke had nothing much to do with his free time. He gave Jian Chenfeng a love meal package every day and even managed to appease the haggard Secretary Cui with his delicious food. The secretary looked as if he were about to (mentally) collapse…

The Jian Chenfeng in work mode, under the double nourishment of delicious food and lust, not only was he not fatigue, he was more energetic too. His muscles seemed to be stronger than before as well.

A man in love was an extreme harm to single dogs. Secretary Cui wanted to avenge society several times. For the first time, he found his boss extremely detestable. What happened to the cold and ruthless director of before?

“Take Young Master Jiang home for dinner in a few days.” After the company’s crisis was over and they were back on track, Jian Chenfeng’s father called his son.

“Alright, father.” Jian Chenfeng calmly accepted his father’s change of attitude.

Before taking Shang Ke home, he decided to introduce him to his friends.

“Chief, really?” Song Qianxing didn’t look convinced. “Even if you like men, why pick Jiang Yumo?”

Although the Jiang family were rich and had some small assets, there was still a gap between them and their circle. Of course, this didn’t mean that they couldn’t interact with each other, but Jiang Yumo’s style was too ghastly. Anyone with a bit of sight and pride would not willingly deal with him.

However, they never expected that the always picky Jian Chenfeng would fall in love with the most unlikely playboy young master they’d ever seen.

“Brother,” Qiu Jun placed his hand on Jian Chenfeng’s shoulder, trying to give him heartfelt advice, “first of all, I don’t have any opinion on gay people, but at least choose a more decent one? Jiang Yumo’s kind… they aren’t even qualified for warming your bed.”

Jian Chenfeng glanced at him with cold eyes, “I don’t want to hear any demeaning words about him from you, or we’ll no longer be friends.”

“Alright, alright.” Qiu Jun raised his hands in surrender. Jian Chenfeng was determined right now. Not only did he fall for a man who had bad behavior, he was really serious about it.

The others had the same thoughts. They exchanged helpless looks and thought about whether or not they should properly “entertain” Young Master Jiang later. It was better if that Jiang Yumo could show his “true self” in front of Jian Chenfeng.

As they thought about it, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone looked towards the sound, and felt as if the room was bathed in light at the sight of him walking in. He was wearing a white casual suit with a black shirt under, possessing a slender body and a gentle temperament. There seemed to be a unique rhythm to his steps as he walked. Although “Bright and Beautiful” was mostly used to describe women but on this man, it didn’t sound wrong.

Was this the rumoured alcoholic and rich playboy Young Master Jiang Yumo? Shit, isn’t the gap way too big! They thought they would see a chicken with a weak spirit, or an arrogant and unconventional person, or a hypocritical and shallow second-generation man which is slightly better than the first two.

But this man here, no matter in appearance or temperament, could be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among men. He was neither a “weak chicken” nor an “unconventional person”, let alone a second-generation man. They even felt it was difficult to even stay straight if they interacted with him day and night. At least in appearance, they no longer questioned Jian Chenfeng’s eyes.

Jian Chenfeng walked over to Shang Ke and grabbed him by the waist. He smiled as he said, “This is my lover, Jiang Yumo.”

Then he introduced the others to Shang Ke— Song Qianxing, Qiu Jun, Wang Xiao and Zhou Du, all of whom were his childhood friends or family friends.

The four stood up to greet him, seemingly friendly but the scrutiny in their eyes were clear.

Before Shang Ke came in, he had already guessed how these people felt about him, so he didn’t care what they thought and looked back at them generously.

The way to communicate feelings was always through eating and entertainment.

Qiu Jun suggested playing a few billiard games and several others responded immediately. They warmly invited Shang Ke, the “new guy”, to start first.

“Can you play?” Jian Chenfeng asked quietly.

“I can play a bit,” Shang Ke replied.

What is… “I can play a bit”?

Soon, Jian Chenfeng understood.

With a quick start and hitting every hole in one stroke, Shang Ke finished a personal performance gracefully and skillfully.

Indeed, he can “play a bit”. It stunned everyone who were prepared to see him make a fool of himself.

Although they lost, the four people weren’t discouraged and transferred to the poker area.

However, they were doomed to be disappointed. Shang Ke was proficient in magic and had an extraordinary memory. After a few games, all the players lost. At last, only Jian Chenfeng was left but it would be a great mistake to rely on him to save the situation. He and Shang Ke went back and forth, winning and losing, game after game, round after round, as if they never ended, and sometimes they had heated eye contact.

Motherfucker! How was this playing cards? They were just showing off their love!

Four people were battered with blood.

At this point, what they wanted was not how to make Shang Ke look bad but how to save their own face.

After eating, they went to their exclusive entertainment room and proposed to play a few war games in high spirits.

Their taste in games instantly changed Shang Ke’s impression of them. Who would have thought that a group of young men with an average age over 25 and of high status were going to shout, fight and kill at games like hot-blooded teenagers. Was that really okay?

Shang Ke glanced at Jian Chenfeng with deep meaning: So I had always thought wrong of you, you were actually this kind of “still childlike” man.

Jian Chenfeng accepted it solemnly: In this respect, I am definitely not the same as them.

In fact, only Qiu Jun and Zhou Du really participated in the games, but in order to form a 2vs2 situation, Jian Chenfeng was also drawn into the game.

Jian Chenfeng had never played this type of game before. Qiu Jun and the others had him teamed with Shang Ke, their motives were clear to see.

Looking at Qiu Jun and Zhou Du who were prepared to torment someone, Shang Ke, though embarrassed, was afraid that those two still wouldn’t win. Playing billiards and card games could still go awry but with his hacking ability, Shang Ke was absolutely confident in his ability to calculate. When he was learning how to hack in the training space, he had to practice with all kinds of war games to improve his hand speed.

As you could imagine, there was no worst, only more worse. Jian Chenfeng, the pig teammate, didn’t even have a chance to drag his feet when Shang Ke took care of their opponents on his own.

After each sound defeat, no matter how graceful his friends were, they were still rather depressed..

So in the evening, Shang Ke mixed four drinks for them in person and told them with a smile, “I had a good time today so I was a little bit complacent. If there was any disrespect, please forgive me.”

Shang Ke was seldom so high-profile. The reason why he made such a big show this time was to fight for Jian Chenfeng’s face and to change his image in their hearts. Since the goal had been achieved, it couldn’t be carried on.

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the four people, and they soon understood Shang Ke’s words. He knew how they thought of him so he tried his best to gain their approval.

Shang Ke added, “You are some of Chenfeng’s only friends. I really want to spend my whole life with him, so I sincerely hope I can receive your blessings. That’s why he brought me here today to meet you guys. Because he cherished you all, he was even more careful about it.”

Finally the four friends agreed to put aside their previous misgivings of him. They raised their glasses and touched his, accepting his existence.

“I say Chief,” Qiu Jun whispered in Jian Chenfeng’s ear, “I have to admire you. Your eyes are really sharp! Such a man is definitely first class.”

Jian Chenfeng sipped his red wine as he sat languidly behind Shang Ke, quietly staring at the side of his face. His eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be overflowing with love.
