The banquet after the meeting was lively, with wine and delicacies flowing abundantly on the round tables as if preparing for a grand feast.

Ji Linqui ate absentmindedly, feeling a bit tired.

After a busy day, all he wanted was to return to his room, take a bath, and get a good night's sleep.

Jiang Wang was persuaded to drink a few glasses of wine, but not too much.

During the meal, he leaned in closer, using his fingers to loosen Ji Linqui's necktie.

"Why are you being so obedient?" the man chuckled in a husky voice. "I tied it tightly, yet you've let it choke you without loosening it?"

Though Ji Linqui hadn't drunk any alcohol, he felt strangely light-headed when he spoke.

He smiled with narrowed eyes, refusing to explain.

"What reward should I give you?" Jiang Wang began to say, but the boss across from them interrupted with a loud laugh to offer a toast. After downing his drink, the man leaned in again to speak in his ear.

It's strange.

When others who have been drinking get close to Ji Linqui, he feels repulsed.

But when Jiang Wang gets close to him like this, he feels content.

Alcohol seems like fuel, igniting and evaporating Jiang Wang's scent all around him, the scent of male hormones unabashedly permeating, surrounding him.

Ji Linqui realizes this and feels a sense of understanding.

He doesn't like the smell of alcohol. He just likes having Jiang Wang's scent on him.

Ji Linqui had never been in love before. It was only after meeting Jiang Wang that he gradually began to understand.

He stays silent, refusing to say anything overly sentimental, being a reserved lover to the point of being a bit dry. As time goes by, even Ji Linqui himself starts to wonder if he's a bit dull.

However, countless small habits accumulate bit by bit, like spider silk soaking into the rain, blending into his instinct without him realizing it.

In the end, infatuation also becomes an instinct, like breathing.

Simple and unshakable.

He has grown accustomed to him, indulging in his whimsical or endearing requests.

"What should I reward you with?" Jiang Wang repeats, lightly tapping his nose with the transparent rim of the glass, joking softly in the lively and crowded banquet hall: "You haven't even had a sip, why are you blushing?"

Ji Linqui looks at him and smiles.

"If I had a drink, who would help you back to the room if we end up passing out in the hallway later?"

"You should have a drink," Jiang Wang squints, "alcohol boosts courage."

Before Ji Linqui could respond, Jiang Wang stands up, dons his coat, and bids farewell to the other guests.

"We have a video conference at the company tonight, so Director Ji and I will head back first."

The crowd was astonished and reluctant to see them leave.

"Just finished the dishes, have some more?"

"So busy! No wonder the business is so successful!"

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Ji!"
