My Boyfriend Is A Dragon

Xu Lan retracted the wineglass right after he heard what he said. Xu Lan’s expression slowly turned cold. He looked around the room before he passed the wineglass to Bai Wu and poured himself another one. Then, he brought Bai Wu up to the front of Qin Lao.

“Qin Lao, why are we mentioning this in such an occasion. Let us both make a toast for you.” Xu Lan presented the wineglass with both of his hands as if he was serving tea while he gave a kick to a blank looking Bai Wu.

“…Here’s to you.” Bai Wu passed the glass to him over the toast.

Qin Lao sized the person in front from left to right before letting out a sigh and took the glass from Xu Lan and gulped the drink down in one breath. Liang Yu held him back when he was about to accept Bai Wu’s glass, “QIn Lao, you’re drinking too fast.”

“Ahem… I am getting old and losing my grip.” Qin Lao coughed roughly. Liang Yu stood up instantly to ease his cough by stroking his back.

“Hmm, you should rest if you’re old, don’t hold onto something and go against it perpetually,” Bai Wu said with a sly grin. The black cat crawled up his arm to his shoulder when he put the glass down onto the table.

“You! What do you mean!”‘Thump’, Liang Yu leaped up like a short-tailed rabbit who got its tail stepped on. He glared at Bai Wu angrily with widened eyes.

“In its literal meaning. Come on guys, let’s eat. Today’s a good day, I am really glad that I get to share a meal with you guys with this identity.” Bai Wu’s reddened eyes were filled with joy. He toasted to each and every one of them, the atmosphere in the room started to lighten up again.

“Let’s do the cross-cupped wine shall we?” Wang Meng screamed as he tried to stir up the atmosphere. Wang Hao joined in immediately and brought over the wineglass towards both of them while he muttered some harmless swear words. Other than the liquor-centered chocolate that was given by Shen Xiang, this was Bai Wu’s first encounter with alcohol. Nonetheless, he took the wineglass from Wang Hao without uttering a word, threw his head back and chugged it.

The confetti cannons went off again, the whole team of people entered the room, driving the atmosphere of the room towards its climax.

Someone put on soothing music in the background, and Xu Lan and Bai Wu were urged to drink the cross-cupped wine. They started toasting from one table to another, their faces turned flushed red from a blush pink. The whole room was filled with laughter and chitter-chatter.

Xu Lan allowed Bai Wu to drink wholeheartedly after seeing him toasting everybody with such enjoyment. Wand Meng and Xiao Feng looked at Xu Lan with a benevolent smile the entire time, which made him slightly embarrassed.

Qin Lao could not bear to disrupt such a blissful scene. He drank a few glasses to entertain Xu Lan and the guys but kept on drinking. If it was not for Liang Yu who acted like his old mother and stopped him from drinking further, he probably would have had a heart attack. His impression of Xu Lan was not that bad. As a researcher, it was as if he had won the lottery to find such sort of research materials. He was also impressed that Xu Lan solved such a high-profile case.

Bai Wu hugged Xu Lan and acted coquettishly after he was drunk. Everyone was already used to Bai Wu’s mood swings. They speculated that he probably went to Sichuan and learned the art of face-changing in Sichuan Opera.

Xu Lan sent off each and every one of them off and told them not to tease Bai Wu about it. He had to drag him back to the apartment with much effort. If Xu Lan was drunk, he would have kept on vomiting and holding onto others to spill his guts. However, Bai Wu was different. He just slept soundly after getting drunk without making a fuss. Xu Lan felt ashamed in comparison to his own behavior.

“Papa…” Bai Wu held tightly onto Xu Lan throughout, not wanting to let go for a single moment, as if he was a giant pillow.

“Hmm.”

“I like you,” Bai Wu muttered before snuggling into a comfortable position and dozed off.

“…” Xu Lan caress Bai Wu’s soft silver hair, the corners of his mouth could not help but to curve upwards.

“Hmph, looks like you’re very satisfied with the current condition.”

“Who’s there?”
