Shirtless

Completely dumbstruck and taken aback by the sudden unexpected question, Guang gulped in nervousness. How on earth was he supposed to explain why he was shirtless in Qiang's room?

Left with no other choice, he started fanning himself and answered, "I am just feeling very hot."

'"It's raining outside and it's kinda cold, you should wear something otherwise you'll catch a cold," Zian instructed.

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Guang vigorously nodded his head, "Yes brother Zian."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Zian inquired, "Is she still sleeping?" When Guang nodded his head, he added, "Step out for a bit, I want to talk to you and wear a shirt. I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

"I'll be right there." As soon as Zian walked away, Guang shut the door and rushed towards Qiang.

"Honey, wake up," he snapped before picking up?their clothes from the floor.

Slowly opening her eyes, she yawned and lazily inquired, "Why do you sound so worried early in the morning."

"Brother Zian was here and he saw me shirtless," he answered.

Shrugging her shoulders, she chuckled, "Don't worry honey, Brother Zian is one hundred percent straight if that is what you are worried about."

Grabbing her hand, he pulled her up and sighed, "He wants to talk to me about something, why should I not panic?"

Climbing on his back, she wrapped her legs around his waist and inquired, "What will you say if he starts questioning you?"

Piggybacking her towards the washroom, he frowned, "What kind of questions?"

"Hmm, like are you sleeping with my sister? Or are you the reason why Qiang is super tired in the morning?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he asked, "Do you think he knows that we are doing it?"

"Well, he comes to his sister's room in the morning but a shirtless guy with a hickey right on his neck opens the door? What does that mean?"

"What?" Keeping her on the slan near the sink, he quickly examined his neck on the mirror only to find a nice visible hickey. "When did you do this?"

Hooking her arms around his neck, she chuckled, "We did many things last night, do you want me to remind you of everything?"

"I would love to but not now, I have to meet brother Zian downstairs in a few minutes and you also need to wash up fast. I know you skipped dinner yesterday but I am niit letting you skip breakfast," he instructed.

Pouting her lips, she curiously inquired, "How do you know that I skipped dinner?"

Tapping the tip of her nose, he answered, "Maybe you think that you have successfully fooled me but I always have my eyes on you even when I am not around."

"Hmm I am just trying to reduce some weight so that I don't look like a ball in front of your friends," she admitted.

"But still, I am only eating and sleeping these days."

"Well, I think we have a really nice exercise schedule so you don't have to worry about burning fat." Brushing his lips against her cheeks, he added, "And if you really wish to burn extra fat then you can always take charge, I don't mind."

Biting his lower lip, she chuckled, "You seem to be in a really nice mood early in the morning."

"Uh huh but your brother is a huge bummer so we need to rush."

….

Downstairs.

When Zian was busy staring at the stairs, Mian placed her hand on his shoulder. "Who are you waiting for?"

"Qiang and Guang—" Pausing for a while, he added, "I had gone to Qiang's room to see why she isn't down for breakfast yet but Guang opened the door."

Pursing her lips to stop herself from laughing out loud, she slowly nodded her head, "Uh huh."

"I know it doesn't matter but he was shirtless." Letting out a nervous chuckle, he added, "I mean why would he take off his shirt when it's so chilly today? Unless he slept like that for the night."

Without waiting for her reply, he continued, "But why would he sleep like that right? That doesn't make sense."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she asked, "Zian, why do you sleep shirtless when we are together?"

Scrunching his brows, he was about to retort when Mian knocked his forehead. "They are adults with hormones, okay? So it's very normal."

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, 'It's not like you think, Guang is a man with principles so I am sure that he will not do my sister."

Wrapping her arms around his waist, she smiled, "Well Mr Li, I think that he is already doing your sister."

Just then, they arrived and quickly parted ways. Qiang rushed towards Becca and the rest while Guang approached Zian.

"Eat something first and then let go for a walk," Zian said to which Guang obediently agreed.

...

Thirty minutes later.

"So what about the bachelorette party?" Qiang inquired.

Yumi chuckled and vigorously shook her head, "There is no party."

"Ah why not? What is the fun of having such a big wedding when we don't even have a bachelorette party?" Huiling complained.

"I agree with Huiling, there has to be a bachelorette party." Without waiting for anyone's reply, Becca added, "Anyway, you two wont be allowed to see your grooms after a few hours until the wedding so let's utilize that time and have a grand girls night out kind of a thing."

"Yes let's do it, we will make all the arrangements," Huiloing excitedly beamed.

Raising her hand in excitement, Qiang snapped, "I'll arrange the alcohol so that we can drink until we drop."

"Are you girls sure?" Yumi inquired.

"Exactly, and where are we going to have it anyway?" Mian asked.

Thinking for a while, Qiang answered, "I'll arrange for everything."

"Any idea if the boys are having one too?" Becca inquired.

Shrugging her shoulders, Huiling answered, "Huang did not tell me anything about it so maybe not."

"Yinhai did not say anything either."

"Ah just forget about them, let's have our girls bachelorette party." Looking around, Qiang frowned, "Where is Elsa?"

"She was here when we were having breakfast," Huling answered.

"Ah anyway, we will let her know later."

While the girls were planning out their bachelorette party, a particular someone was having a really hard time.

…..

Outside.

Passing him a beer, Zian said, "I heard that your company is doing really very well."

Taking the beer, Guang nodded his head, "It's doing fine."

"Hmm, if you need any help then you can always come to me." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he inquired, "How is it going with Qiang?"

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Guang answered, "It's good."

"I can see that you both are getting along quite well." Pausing for a while, Zian added, "I am like your big brother—"

"Yes of course brother Zian, you are."

"So as your big brother, it's my responsibility to tell you a few things which by the way, I told Yushen as well." Turning towards him, Zian continued, "You people are young with hormones."

Gulping in nervousness, Guang folded his arms at the back and quietly listened to what Zian had to say. He could vaguely guess where the conversation was leading to but no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had no choice but to listen to it.

"I won't say that giving in to those hormonal reactions is not okay but you always have to be careful. You are understanding what I am trying to say right?" When Guang vigorously nodded his head, he added, "So be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Ah there you are and here we are looking for you people everywhere," Yushen sighed and quickly approached them.

"What are you—" Zian stopped midway when Yushen placed a crown with a huge 'KING' written on it.

"We are all set for the bachelorette part," Yushen howled.

"Dude, this is gonna be so fun," Zixin arrived wearing a similar kind of crown.

Adjusting the crown, Zian inquired, "When did you plan a bachelorette party?"

"Just now," Yinhai and Ashton answered together.

"Yes, I have already asked dad's permission to party in that new house next door."

"And I am getting drinks so that we can drink until we drop," Ashton squealed.

Thinking for a while, Zian said, "I need to ask Mian."

"Dude, it's a bachelorette party," Huang snapped.

"Pfft probably the last day of your life when you can do whatever you want without any kind of permission," Guang added.

Slapping his thigh in frustration, Yushen groaned, "Ahh too bad we cannot arrange for a stripper."

"I know right? I wish we were still in the city," Yinhai sighed.

"Do you want me to tell Becca and Jeniffer that you both want to stripper's for the party?" Guang chuckled.
