Chapter 879 To See Someone I Missed...
The next morning, An Tian's apartment door opened, and a young man entered the home. He looked around, but there was a dead silence.
Leaving his small-sized luggage bag near the door, he checked the rooms, but no one was there. Then, he went upstairs only to see five men sleeping in the gallery while sitting in the chairs as their legs stretched on the stone center platform.
Looking at the scenario of how these men slept like horses without any care and in such an uncomfortable position with so many beer bottles emptied and thrown somewhere, he understood they were drunk.
His sight followed Lu Lijun, who just moved in his sleep and looked like he would wake up the next moment.
The young man thought, 'He can't be drunk,' and went to him.
When Lu Lijun noticed the man, his half-opened sleepy eyes, opened wide in surprise as the sleep ran away somewhere in an instant.
"Jake," Lu Lijun said in a hoarse voice, shock written on his face.
Jake looked at the others but didn't seem like they would wake up even if the entire world is about to collapse. Sun already brightened up everything to hurt one's eyes as it was summer, but these drunk people were unaware of everything.
Lu Lijun thought for a while that he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes again.
"It's good that it's summer, or you all would have frozen to death," Jake commented, and Lu Lijun realized Jake was there for real.
"How can you be here?" Lu Lijun asked, put his legs down from the table, and sat straight.
"Why can't I be here?" Jake asked as his sight passed across everyone who was in a dreamland.
"Why so, suddenly?" Lu Lijun asked as he stood up.
"Just," Jake answered uncertainly while Lu Lijun didn't mind it as he already knew the reason.
Jake went to Noah, who was still sleeping. When Jake was about to check Noah's burned hand, he moved in his sleep, and Jake backed off only to hear someone calling him.
"Jake, is it you?" An Tian asked as he tried to clear his vision and pressed his temples.
"Hmm!"
Lu Feng and Jiang Yang woke up too, hearing it and tried to see the person who stood in front of them as they rubbed their sleepy eyes.
"Damn this hangover," Jiang Yang exclaimed.
"Why did you drink this much then?" Lu Feng countered and looked at Jake.
Lu Feng and Jiang Yang were surprised looking at him, but An Tian and Lu Lijun took it normally, once they were sure that they were not dreaming and he was there for real.
Everyone woke up, but one guy who didn't wish to get out of his sugar sleep, Noah.
We need something to get rid of this hangover," Jiang Yang stood up to go downstairs, patting Jake's shoulder, "Good to see you."
"Make yourself comfortable," An Tian instructed and followed Jiang Yang.
Lu Feng too patted his shoulder to greet him, "Laters," and left as his head hurt badly.
"I will help them if they need something," Lu Lijun left, leaving Jake and Noah.
Jake looked at the sleepyhead and pushed his chair with the feet.
With a sudden jerk, Noah woke up but didn't open his eyes to look at the person, "What the heck! Let me sleep."
Ignoring, Jake lightly kicked the chair again, and Noah frowned as he looked at Jake.
"Let me sleep you, ass hole."
Cursing, Noah closed his eyes to continue his sleep. Jake picked up the half-filled water bottle from the table and poured it on Noah's face.
"You….Jake… you ass hole. Do you want to die?"
Exclaiming, Noah stood up from the chair, trying to wipe the water from his face.
Jake picked up the tissue papers from the box on the stone center platform and passed it to Noah.
Excepting it angrily, Noah wiped his face, but the next moment he stopped as she realized something and looked at the man standing in front of him.
He rubbed his eyes to check if it was a dream, but it was not as Jake picked up a few more tissue papers and dabbed them on Noah's face to wipe water.
"H-How come you are here? I'm not dreaming, right?" Noah asked in doubt.
"I poured enough water on your face to take you out of your dreams and get you back to your senses," Jake replied.
With this reply, the shocked and surprised Noah went back to his angry mode, "Is this the way to wake up someone?"
"Not sure about others, but you deserve it," Jake countered as he tried to hold Noah's hand to check the burn on it.
Retreating his hand, Noah stepped to go away downstairs as he cursed, "Fuck Off."
Jake didn't stop him as it was a normal reaction from Noah and found it amusing as he smiled lightly.
Noah went downstairs, where Lu Lijun was making a hangover drink while the others on the couch were waiting for it.
Seeing drenched and angry Noah, others understood what must have happened and smiled. This cool and always smiling young man looked angry, and it was a sight to see.
Jake went to Lu Lijun to help, but just then, Noah exclaimed, "Lijun, if that man touches it, I won't drink it."
Lu Lijun gave Jake a meaningful look, asking him to stay away, and he listened.
"You should have been good to him instead of making him angry," Lu Lijun spoke in a low voice.
"I can't stop from doing it," Jake countered, smiling lightly.
"Like this, you will only make him hate you, Jake."
"When did I expect him to love me?"
"Then, why are you here?" Lu Lijun asked, being busy serving the drink in glasses.
"To see someone I missed, I mean, my elder brother," Jake answered.
"Go and lie to someone else. I'm not free to get bullshit from you."
Saying, Lu Lijun took the glasses of drink to drunk men, and each of them picked it up.
