Bearing Her Fangs

Gobsmacked by the sight in front of them, Qin Yusheng, Li Zhengsheng and the other two girls stared wide-eyed.

Their shocked gazes alternating between the young woman's departing back, as she happily skipped out and Long Zichen's peeved front.

Observing the extreme look of annoyance on Long Zichen, when the woman glided towards him, Qin Yusheng quirked his brow in interest.

'Woah woah woah! What's up with this odd reaction?! Is he really the Long Zichen.. That we know?'

The slight nauseating look on the man was almost unnoticeable, yet he was able to detect it. After all, they were childhood buddies.

That was a first Qin Yusheng was seeing in months, what happened to the player Long Zichen?

Did Qin Yusheng miss something while he was busy shooting abroad, for his movie? Something juicy!

Flicking his gaze laced with pure suspicion at Long Zichen, who was sipping onto his drink like an elegant prince of the nation, Qin Yusheng started. His tone inquisitive, his eyes were sharp waiting for some juicy bits of gossip.

"Woah! Man.. I heard that you asked your date the other night at the grand auction to tone down her makeup, and wipe her lipstick.. Don't tell me it's true!"

The instant Long Zichen heard the words tumble out of Qin Yusheng's mouth, his face turned ashen as he was forced to remember the memory. His date, that day was wearing far too much makeup for his liking. The memory itself made him puke in disgust.

"Fuck! Are you making fun of me now? I can't tolerate such strong perfume and thick layers of makeup on my girls.. What's wrong with that?!"

His gaze darkened. He darted a scary look at the man who was grinning like a fool. His tone harsh.

The statement was a shocker, garnering attention of all the people present in the private room.

The revelation of Long Zichen's prefence made the two girls sitting on either side of Qin Yusheng and Li Zhengsheng shuffle uncomfortably in their seats.

Their bright faces were suddenly pale, their urgent gazes darting around to find a mirror to see if their appearances are too gaudy.

'Shit! I didn't expect them to know about this! It's all because of 'her'.. Why am I even thinking of 'her' again!!'

Shaking his head in a distasteful manner as though he'd swallowed something bitter, Long Zichen silently berated himself.

'It's been like this ever since I saw 'her'..'

The sudden outrage was unexpected, especially from Long Zichen who was always smiling and jesting, like nobody's business.

The gossip king Qin Yusheng's curiosity was killed within seconds.

Shrinking his back in his seat, Qin Yusheng chuckled, unamused. His hazel eyes held a hint of doubt as he voiced out, taking a generous sip of wine.

"Dude! Relax.. I just asked you to confirm because.. Because you weren't like this before"

All while, Li Zhengsheng didn't have a single reaction to their conversation as he sat wordlessly. Enjoying the show and his wine, an amused but barely visible smile on his faint red lips.

His indolent gaze turned to Long Zichen's striking face, when the man mentioned a particular person. A slight stir in his stoic expression.

"Anyway, Yu! Have you heard from Xiu Lan? She was feeling quite low the other night when she called me.."

Nodding his head, Long Zichen called Qin Yusheng's attention with his words of inquiry. His tone turned slightly solemn at the end.

As soon as Xiu Lan's name came into his perked up ears, the initially happy Qin Yusheng's face streaked with a frustrated frown.

"Oh please! That drama queen would probably act spoiled only in front of you while bearing her fangs in front of us! What feeling low? She was just acting to get your attention.."

Frowning, Qin Yusheng slammed his glass on the table, interjecting Long Zichen midsentence.

As though on a heartfelt rant, Qin Yusheng went on and on until a painful kick landed hardly on his knee.

Startled by the sudden attack, Qin Yusheng hastily turned to find a grave looking Li Zhengsheng staring at him akin to grim reaper.

All of Qin Yusheng's words got stuck inside his throat with just that single look, making him feel veritably helpless and sorry for himself.

"Oops! Sorry.."

Mumbling his apology, the awkward Qin Yusheng clamped up. He even mimicked the act of zipping up his mouth with his fingers.

Laughing mirthfully, Long Zichen nudged Li Zhengsheng before flicking his gaze to the sorry looking Qin Yusheng. His gaze was as mocking as his tone.

"Little Zheng! Relax, let him vent. After all he wouldn't know what it feels like to be adored? Not everyone's girlfriends stay and suck up for their fame only.."

Li Zhengsheng burst out laughing, just to spite Qin Yusheng, which naturally worked, irking the man. He spat harshly glaring daggers at Long Zichen who was grinning widely.

"Shit! You and your vicious tongue..!"
