Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me-Chapter 282 : The Celebration At A Nightclub (4)

In the end, Shen Jingwei and Lang Yuxuan, who each wanted to showcase their prowess in fighting, were forced to stand aside and watch as Yan Renzhong alone took on five seasoned hitmen.

Bodies were thrown against the alley walls left and right before they were dragged by their feet to receive another round of beatings.

Jin Zhuo took several punches before he scurried away like a sewer rat.

Some of the hitmen followed his trail, while the others were unable to escape and succumbed to Yan Renzhong’s merciless assaults.

Shen Jingwei and Lang Yuxuan watched the unfolding brawl without blinking even once.

Shen Jingwei only snapped back from his reverie when Yan Renzhong pulled him into his arms and gave him a kiss against the crown of his head.

"Jingbao, are you hurt anywhere?"

Shen Jingwei put his arms around Yan Renzhong and shook his head.

"No," he said. "Lang Yuxuan saved me."

Lang Yuxuan, the hero of the night, immediately stood up straight when his name was mentioned.

Yan Renzhong looked up and stared at Lang Yuxuan. He then stretched a hand out and patted Lang Yuxuan on the head.

"I know. Thank you, Yuxuan."

"..."

Lang Yuxuan felt his phone through the fabric of his pants.

When he saw Shen Jingwei being dragged away, he impulsively asked for help from several people, including Yan Renzhong.

But no matter how fast Yan Renzhong was, he couldn’t have come so quickly.

Which meant that Yan Renzhong had been in the nightclub all along.

He probably saw Lang Yuxuan linger around Shen Jingwei’s seat, ready to switch the latter’s beer against a drugged one.

But he said nothing.

He even gave Lang Yuxuan a pat on the head.

Tears sprang in Lang Yuxuan’s eyes.

He suddenly wanted to cry, but he didn’t know why exactly.

He just wanted to cry.

"Let’s go home. I will give you a lift," Yan Renzhong offered.

Lang Yuxuan shook his head.

"N-no, I think... I want to cool down inside. I haven’t had any drink from the moment I came in."

Shen Jingwei did not ask why Lang Yuxuan was there in the first place. Maybe he too understood that Lang Yuxuan was there to trip him up.

Only that he changed his mind in the last minute.

"Alright. Message me if you need a lift back home," Yan Renzhong said.

Lang Yuxuan nodded and slipped back into the nightclub through the backdoor.

He took his seat at the bar and ordered a round of beer.

The loud music numbed his heart and mind, and he sat there in a daze while downing one glass of beer after another.

Until finally the other person he called showed up.

Feng Jietang looked like he just drove all the way across town because his house was on fire.

When he spotted Lang Yuxuan at the bar, he grabbed him and shook him hard.

"Hey, Lang Yuxuan! Where is Shen Jingwei? Why are you drinking at the bar??? Didn’t you say that Shen Jingwei was in danger? Where is he now???"

Lang Yuxuan hiccuped once before he slapped Feng Jietang’s hands aside.

With bleary eyes, he glowered at the other man.

"You are late," he grumbled. "Senior Shen has been taken away by Senior Yan."

"..."

Feng Jietang was overcome with a wave of relief so strong that his knees grew weak under his weight.

He hoisted himself onto another bar stool and sighed, "Thank God. I was worried the entire ride here. So..."

Feng Jietang looked around the nightclub.

"Why are you even here? Is this your usual haunt?"

"..."

Lang Yuxuan did not want to explain anything to this idiot. So he continued drinking.

After some time, Feng Jietang put two and two together, but his guess was slightly inaccurate.

"Did you want to harm Shen Jingwei and change your mind at the last minute...?"

Lang Yuxuan raised his reddened eyes and glared at Feng Jietang.

"No, of course not. It was Jin Zhuo. I didn’t do anything. I even called for help..."

Still, it didn’t change the fact that he did agree to collude with Jin Zhuo to dispose of Shen Jingwei, once and for all.

Not that Feng Jietang needed to know the entire story...

Lang Yuxuan cursed at himself inwardly.

If he had rejected Jin Zhuo right away, then he wouldn’t have been in this mess.

"So you saved him," Feng Jietang mused while drinking his beer.

"..."

"If it weren’t for you, Jin Zhuo would have achieved his goal. You saved Shen Jingwei."

Feng Jietang’s intense but warm gaze drilled into Lang Yuxuan’s eyes, prompting the latter to look away.

"It’s nothing," he murmured. "It’s not like he needed my help. He could fight on his own, and Senior Yan lurked around the entire time..."

Feng Jietang laughed.

He extended a hand and patted Lang Yuxuan on the head.

"You have done a very good job. Thank you."

"..."

Lang Yuxuan accepted the headpat from Yan Renzhong because he loved Yan Renzhong and Yan Renzhong was his mentor.

Who did Feng Jietang think he was???

Angrily, Lang Yuxuan slapped Feng Jietang’s hand away.

"I am not a child!" He exclaimed. "Don’t give me good-boy pats!"

Feng Jietang broke into a chuckle.

"Alright, I am sorry."

Lang Yuxuan’s face was burning red from drinking too much. A layer of fog clouded his mind, making him unable to think straight.

He didn’t even understand what he was saying next.

"I still want my reward," he declared.

"?"

Feng Jietang was utterly confused.

"Like, money? Fine. How many RMB do you want... Heyy...!!!"

Without warning, Lang Yuxuan lunged at him and grabbed his collar.

"What I want is..."

He did not bother ending his sentence. He leaned close to Feng Jietang, their lips hovering only millimeters from each other.

Feng Jietang could smell the intoxicating scent of beer from Lang Yuxuan’s breath.

But there was also something else.

Something that made him close the distance of the few millimeters to Lang Yuxuan’s lips and kiss him...
