Evil Love Appears chapter 112
Xu Jiale had no intention of missing the entire party.
However, Nanyi had been playing all day, and at this point, he had already yawned several times.
Xu Jiale picked him up and headed in the direction of the resort.
The little guy had become heavy, nodding off with his head bobbing against Xu Jiale’s shoulder. The sea breeze might have made him too comfortable, as he fell asleep even before they reached the room.
Xu Jiale placed Nanyi on Jin Chu’s bed, stood up for a few seconds, and noticed the cheap kayak champion medal still hanging around the little guy’s neck. He couldn’t help but smile faintly, lightly touching Nanyi’s chubby cheek with his finger before turning to leave.
“Jiale.” Jin Chu, who had been quietly watching, suddenly stood up and followed him to the corridor outside the room.
“Yes?” Xu Jiale paused, “What’s up?”
“I was just thinking…” Jin Chu seemed hesitant.
However, Xu Jiale instinctively asked, “Are you thinking about going back to join the party? I can come back to watch the child for you in the second half, if you’d like.”
Jin Chu hesitated for a moment, suddenly smiled lightly, and said in a low voice, “No need, I’m fine.”
Today had been quite tiring for him, and he wasn’t in the mood for fun.
But deep down, he had been thinking about a lot of things, including the decision he made to divorce Xu Jiale. He had suddenly wanted to ask Xu Jiale if that had been a wrong decision.
However, seeing Xu Jiale willing to take his place so sincerely, he felt a sense of nostalgia he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Over time, he had easily forgotten many of the qualities that Xu Jiale had as an alpha.
Now, when he thought about it, it was accompanied by a sense of loss and melancholy. It was like finishing the last bite of a cake that was incredibly sweet, but once it was gone, it was gone.
Suddenly, he didn’t even want to ask that question anymore.
“Alright,” Xu Jiale looked at Jin Chu again, nodded, and said, “If you need anything with Nanyi, just let me know.”
…
The night in Phuket seemed to truly begin at this moment, but unfortunately, it started raining lightly.
The resort was quiet at this point, and Xu Jiale saw several alphas and omegas in extremely bold attire coming in and out of the rooms on the side of the hall. They seemed to be preparing for something.
It took him a second to realize that Wen Ke and Han Jiangque had prepared such a hot performance. These two were not to be underestimated.
Fortunately, Wen Ke and Han Jiangque had planned for the weather, so no one minded. They all ran back from the beach to the poolside of the resort and sat down at the tables again.
“Xu-ge, come on – Truth or Dare, it’s old-fashioned but thrilling! Let’s get it!” Wang Xiaoshan had clearly had a lot to drink, and as soon as he saw Xu Jiale, he grabbed his arm. “Hurry, sit down.”
“Where’s Xiaoyu?” Xu Jiale looked around at the table and couldn’t help but get a little worried.
He stood up, scanned the entire pool area for a while, and finally spotted Wen Huaixuan and Fu Xiaoyu standing at the bar on the other side of the swimming pool.
He walked directly towards them.
The music was loud, and the two of them were standing on the side of the bar, so they didn’t notice Xu Jiale approaching.
“Want to smoke?” Xu Jiale heard Wen Huaixuan ask.
“Why do you ask?” Fu Xiaoyu smiled faintly. “I don’t smoke much, haven’t I told you before?”
“I just had a feeling,” Wen Huaixuan’s voice was low, “a feeling that you might want to smoke, like last time…”
The bar area was too noisy, with a constant stream of people ordering strong drinks. The sound system was playing an electronic dance song, making it impossible for Xu Jiale to hear the second part of Wen Huaixuan’s sentence.
But this didn’t stop Xu Jiale from being pinned to the spot.
In his nature, he had a fox-like cunning, but he was also sensitive to every detail in his environment.
He had always been wary of Wen Huaixuan.
But it was only at this moment, with this sentence, that Wen Huaixuan had said, that truly hit his heart.
It wasn’t just because of Wen Huaixuan as a person.
It was more about the emotions that surfaced when Fu Xiaoyu wasn’t in front of him.
Fu Xiaoyu had smoked in front of Wen Huaixuan.
Because he was in a bad mood.
Xu Jiale couldn’t figure out which of these things hurt more.
“Pina colada!”
Just then, a Thai bartender suddenly placed a glass in front of Fu Xiaoyu.
Fu Xiaoyu took his ordered Piña Colada, turned around, and locked eyes with Xu Jiale, who was standing not far away, seemingly dazed.
“Hey,” Fu Xiaoyu greeted nonchalantly.
“Want something?” Wen Huaixuan also nodded at Xu Jiale, “I see many people ordering their Piña Colada. You should try it too.”
Xu Jiale was indeed a bit disoriented at the moment, and he didn’t immediately say anything. It wasn’t until Fu Xiaoyu and Wen Huaixuan walked back to the table together that he instinctively said to the bartender, “Piña…”
As soon as he spoke, he instantly realized it was a mistake.
What was he doing, ordering a Piña Colada now? His situation was already bad, and if Wen Huaixuan took Fu Xiaoyu out for a motorcycle ride again, he’d be in trouble for the night.
Xu Jiale quickly turned around, and walked back at the table. He deliberately glanced at the glass in Wen Huaixuan’s hand.
It looked like a glass of soda.
Damn it, he almost fell into Wen Huaixuan’s trap.
There was one seat between Xu Jiale and Fu Xiaoyu, and Hu Xia sat on Xu Jiale’s other side.
The distance between them felt as vast as the sky.
“Welcome back, let’s get started!” Wang Xiaoshan assigned everyone a number and then took out his phone excitedly. “I’ll draw first!”
He had an app specifically for playing Truth or Dare, which could automatically choose players and even had a question bank, making it quite professional.
Xu Jiale wasn’t really interested in this kind of game at first. He was thinking of finding an opportunity to talk privately with Fu Xiaoyu.
But right now, Wang Xiaoshan was really excited. He had been drinking and had a flushed face, which made Hu Xia stare at him.
“Number 8.”
“Here!”
It was quite a coincidence; Number 8 was Hu Xia. He had been watching Wang Xiaoshan all along, and now he was suddenly called out and even raised his hand.
“Okay, I’ll be the host and ask the first question,” Wang Xiaoshan took another sip of his drink, his eyes shifting. He asked with a mischievous smile, “What’s the silliest thing you’ve done because of a breakup?”
Well, it turned out that Wang Xiaoshan was an experienced player. As soon as he asked the question, Xu Jiale knew this was going to be fun.
After the question was asked, Wang Xiaoshan suddenly tilted his head. “Wait, haven’t you ever been in a relationship?”
“What are you saying!” Hu Xia said, unable to bear the insult. “I’ve been in a relationship once. The silliest thing I did after the breakup with my first love was… after she broke up with me, I… I… I got a tattoo on my thigh that said ‘xxx I’ll love you forever.’ I still haven’t removed it; I heard it’s really painful.”
Xu Jiale nearly sprayed out the water he had just drunk.
Not to mention the laughing Xiao Yuan and Wang Xiaoshan, even Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
It was probably because this icebreaker question was so entertaining that, even though most of them weren’t initially interested, they started to get into it.
After two rounds, they had all had quite a few drinks, and the questions began heading in a more daring direction. Wang Xiaoshan even took the opportunity to ask about Xiao Yuan’s and Li Jingjing’s sexual experiences.
Fu Xiaoyu was actually listening very attentively. However, strangely, no one had drawn him in the game.
Hu Xia finally drew Wang Xiaoshan. After a deliberate pause, he nonchalantly asked, “Xiaoshan, are you currently in a romantic relationship?”
“Yeah… good question,” Wang Xiaoshan smiled slightly. “I just broke up. It was the day before coming to Thailand.”
He smiled while saying he had just broken up, leaving everyone a bit bewildered.
“Another breakup?” Fu Xiaoyu furrowed his brow.
“Yes,” Wang Xiaoshan’s gaze was somewhat hazy. “Anyway, I’m not too upset this time, really.”
He was clearly a bit tipsy, and Xu Jiale gave him a quick look before silently moving his drink away from him.
The rain continued to drizzle.
Suddenly, someone drew Fu Xiaoyu, and it was Li Jingjing. She looked somewhat embarrassed. Honestly, she didn’t want to draw her boss. After thinking for a while and looking at her phone, she suddenly felt saved, “Ah, right, I can’t think of a question. Can I use this app to randomly generate a question?”
She didn’t wait for Wang Xiaoshan’s response and directly chose a random question. Then, holding the phone, she read it aloud, “Within this year, what was the saddest day for you? Why? Ah… this is random.”
As she read to the end, she even surprised herself. Wang Xiaoshan’s app was nowhere near as good as coming up with questions on her own.
Fu Xiaoyu found himself momentarily taken aback.
He held his drink in silence for several seconds, and then finally lifted his head, locking eyes with Xu Jiale, who was seated not far away. The alpha’s eyes behind his glasses were long and focused, intent on him.
“Should we try another one?” After waiting for a few seconds, Li Jingjing awkwardly intervened, “I don’t know how this app came up with this question. It’s rather unorthodox, isn’t it?”
The lips of Xu Jiale, who sat across from him, also slightly parted as if he wanted to say something.
“No need.” Fu Xiaoyu suddenly shook his head and took a big sip of Piña Colada. “The saddest day for me this year was my birthday, August 18th. Because…”
He paused for a moment and then spoke softly, “Probably because I grew another year older.”
It was a partially heartfelt confession, much like the taste of rum sliding down the throat, gradually turning bitter.
“Pass me the phone.”
Fu Xiaoyu took the phone, but the displayed number on the app surprised even himself – it was number 7.
It was Xu Jiale’s number.
Xu Jiale, unable to hide his unease, had his gaze almost entirely focused on Fu Xiaoyu. When he found out that he was the one selected, there was a moment of tension amidst the earlier pain, carrying a hint of hope.
What would Fu Xiaoyu ask him?
In reality, the omega had also gotten somewhat intoxicated. His round cat-like eyes seemed to be veiled in a thin mist as he casually looked at Xu Jiale and then nonchalantly tapped the phone.
He chose to go with a random question.
Xu Jiale felt an instant emptiness in his heart.
But after the random question, Fu Xiaoyu was staring at the phone screen and didn’t say anything for a while.
“What’s wrong? What’s the question?” Wang Xiaoshan curiously asked.
“Your app…” Fu Xiaoyu furrowed his brows slightly and handed the phone to Wang Xiaoshan.
“Haha, what’s wrong with it?” Wang Xiaoshan laughed as soon as he saw it. “It’s meant to be an adult version of Truth or Dare.”
Xu Jiale suddenly had a vague sense of foreboding.
“Xu-ge, let me read the question that president Fu drew for you – ‘When was the last time you had sexual intercourse?'”
Damn it.
Xu Jiale couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
“I…,” he hesitated but looked up, and Fu Xiaoyu’s eyes were still focused on him.
“Can I choose ‘Dare’?”
Xu Jiale’s heart was in turmoil. The question wasn’t particularly scandalous, but he had chosen ‘Dare,’ which left Hu Xia, Xiao Yuan, and the others looking at him in confusion.
“Do we use the app for ‘Dare’ as well?” Xu Jiale asked in a daze.
“…”
Fu Xiaoyu didn’t say anything. He suddenly stood up straight, took a few steps, and walked over to Xu Jiale. Then, with a loud “splash,” he pushed Xu Jiale forcefully into the pool behind him. Due to the excessive force, water splashed onto the poolside.
“This is a dare.”
Fu Xiaoyu said, somewhat tipsy, swaying slightly.
This was completely unexpected by everyone, especially coming from the usually aloof and stern Mr. Fu.
“Ha ha ha!”
“Xu Ge! Xu Ge!”
After a moment of astonishment, everyone watched Xu Jiale, who looked disheveled, emerge from the swimming pool and cheered excitedly.
Things had taken a wild turn, and there was an air of madness in the atmosphere.
“Xiaoyu…”
Xu Jiale was left dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events.
In that moment, the chaos of the situation didn’t matter; he felt lost.
Relying on his senses, he fumbled in the pool beside him and managed to find his glasses.
The lenses were covered in water, and everything became blurry. The cheers of the crowd became distant, and his field of vision seemed to focus on the omega standing by the shore.
He swam over, attempting to climb out, but he was forcefully pushed back into the water.
“splash!”
Another burst of water splashed.
Fu Xiaoyu wouldn’t let him out.
Xu Jiale, with blurred vision, tightly grabbed the hands that had pushed him just moments ago.
He was pushed around, confused, and felt a strange restlessness within himself.
Fu Xiaoyu struggled, but Xu Jiale held his fingers tightly, almost to the point where Fu Xiaoyu could no longer pull away.
With his back to the others, this little action seemed secretive.
“Xiaoyu…”
Xu Jiale felt as if he had lost his mind, absurdly believing that Fu Xiaoyu’s anger was a misunderstanding. He urgently said, “There’s no one else I’ve slept with….”
He pushed his glasses up to his forehead. At this distance, he could clearly see the omega’s face—his round, mist-covered eyes and his slightly blushing cheeks.
Fu Xiaoyu was intoxicated, but his eyes betrayed a subtle sense of sadness.
Suddenly, Xu Jiale understood.
Fu Xiaoyu wasn’t suspecting him.
Fu Xiaoyu was still upset about that day, his birthday.
Of course, he understood it.
“Xiaoyu…”
Xu Jiale said in an almost whisper, “I love you.”
He felt droplets of water flowing between his fingers, and his body shivered slightly due to the cold water temperature.
Those three words had always been in his heart, but he hadn’t been able to say them for a very long time.
However, at this moment, he couldn’t contain them any longer.
Upon hearing these words, Fu Xiaoyu suddenly turned his head, stubbornly retracting his hand.
Just then, excited screams came from a distance, as if someone was shouting something.
Xu Jiale wiped the water off his glasses and, together with Fu Xiaoyu, turned to look at the central stage.
The music grew more intense, and the alpha and omega participants, dressed provocatively, had taken the stage. It was now time for the hottest show!
Xu Jiale watched the side of Fu Xiaoyu’s face, where his long eyelashes fluttered for a moment. After just a glance, Fu Xiaoyu lowered his head somewhat disheartened, with a bit of coconut-scented foam adorably clinging to his lips.
I love you, Fu Xiaoyu.
Xu Jiale thought.
In that moment, the pent-up emotions and madness of the entire night finally broke free, beyond his control.
Don’t be sad.
Don’t be sad anymore.
He couldn’t get that thought out of his mind as he hurriedly left a brief message for Fu Xiaoyu and dashed toward the resort. “Wait for me, Xiaoyu!”
