"Jiang Cheng!" A busy Lucas appeared beside Jiang Wanyin's side. 

"Yes?" Jiang Cheng nodded in response and continued to serve the customer. 

"We have a F4 coming in soon. Don't know when but my friend saw a car down the street. Your gonna be their server tonight." 

Jiang Wanyin nodded, paying no heed to the hurried words of his senior worker. He served almost every customer there. They were still, despite being a popular bar, staffed and there were only 3 bartenders to go around and millions of people to serve. But lucky for them today the bar isn't as busy as usual so work is easier than normal. Jiang Cheng had a clear view of the tables and it was quite easy to spot if someone had spiked a drink or crossed the limits, things of that sort. 

The boy wondered which Fortune was coming in today. There were a lot of business men coming in and out every day. Some sat down for a gracious lap dance from their dancers and others just got rowdy drunk. It was disgusting honestly. Some were married and Jiang Cheng wondered if their partner knew about any of this. He flinched at the thought. 

Ding!

The little bell rang notifying the arrival of someone. Jiang Cheng's gaze directed to the door and lets say...it was truly a shock for the Jiang. 

There stood Lan Xichen, his cheeks red, his eyes dilated and his suit all messy. Knowing Lan Xichen he was always peculiar on being neat and looking tidy...this was strange of him. The Lan stumbled over to the bar and sat in front of Jiang Cheng. 

He was drunk?! 

"Lan Huan..." Jiang Cheng worriedly muttered under his breath before asking what happened. And thankfully Lan Xichen was still sober enough to make proper sentences. 

"Pour me a drink will you Wanyin? Whiskey please." Lan Xichen grumbled totally ignoring Jiang Cheng's words. The man looked...heartbroken. It hurt Jiang Cheng to see him like this. He wanted to hug him so bad and he would've...but it was still work hours. If Lucas saw him hugging a fortune he would be fired and kicked out that instant. Well, he was not too sure about that one. At most he would get suspended. There was no way he was getting fired. They were way too short staffed for that shit. 

"Huan Ge--" 

"Whiskey please." Lan Xichen said in a harder tone and Jiang Cheng sighed pouring him a glass. He slid it towards Lan Xichen who downed it in one go. "Another." and Jiang Cheng complied. he gave another, and another and another until Lan Xichen was basically babbling. It felt so wrong to be doing this. He was going to have a talk with him the next day. 

All of a sudden Lan Xichen stood up his babbling stopped and he looked more sober, but clearly wasnt. He walked over to an empty table and sat down and a girl came up to him, probably offering a lap dance. Which she was, her ridiculously seductive hands traced Lan Xichen's shirt and opened a button but left the rest on. Jiang Cheng saw Lan Xichen try to push her away and the girl stumbled. For a drunk man he was fucking strong. But the girl was persistent an kept on pestering Lan Xichen. At one point the man got tired and let her do what she wanted. 

Jiang Cheng was burning with anger. His face dark and he swore he was going to kill that lady. Britney was her name. A bitch was what nearly everyone called her. Even Lucas. She was one hell of a girl. Always trying to get fucked. She annoyed Jiang Cheng quite very much and it only got worse as the days went on. 

The Jiang watched as Britney grinded her ass on Lan Huan's lap. All his head could come up with was fuck and fuck her. Oh how badly he wanted to go over there and push her off Lan Xichen. But god knows what Lucas might do if he did. But he couldn't help it. Lan Xichen was near passing out. His eyes weren't even open. It was basically harassment. 

Jiang Cheng walked past the counter throwing his apron at Lucas who shouted at him asking what he was doing. But that was the least of his concerns. He couldn't stand seeing his crush being grinded on by another bitch. 

Jiang Wanyin yanked Britney off of Lan Xichen's lap making her yelp.

"What the fuck was that?" The girl shouted before standing up, she raised her hand to attempt a slap. But Jiang Cheng was not having it. He caught her hand and shoved it back to her. "Since when did we go around fucking someone elses boyfriends Britney?" Jiang Cheng spat out his eyes blazing with anger, that it made the girl cower. 

"Boyfriend?" She asked, skeptical of what was happening. 

"You better fucking believe it...I should've stopped him from drinking. That idiot!" Jiang Cheng muttered the last sentence under his breath before grabbing Lan Xichens hand and yanking him up. The height difference made it even harder for him to carry him around. He swung Lan Xichen's arm around his shoulder and stumbled as he carried him out of the bar. 

"I'm heading home Lucas. I have things to deal with. I'll be there tomorrow." Jiang Cheng yelled before leaving. The crowd dispersed and Britney stormed into the staff lounge and Lucas stood there utterly surprised by the turn of events. 

Jiang Cheng hailed a cab and stuffed Lan Xichen in. The taxi driver couldn't help but notice the drunken state of the bigger man and the smaller was fusing over him. He couldn't help but ask, "Boyfriend drank too much?"

Jiang Cheng blushed but said nothing. The little motion was enough for the driver to understand. Jiang Cheng showed him the address and he took of. 

Jiang Wanyin didn't want to go to his own house as his parents would be pretty disappointed and the worst case scenario was...something he didn't want to imagine happen. Off the top of his head Lan Xichen's house was the last place he could think off. To be honest Jiang Cheng had been there once but never inside. He had always stood outside and waited for his parents to do their thing. 

He glanced at Lan Xichen who was sleeping, his shirt astray and his face flushed. It was going to be one hell of a night.
