176 – After the Party

The party was a grand success, and Ren, who had drunk many toasts (some on Fang's behalf as well, because he stubbornly refused to let Fang drink until the younger man turned twenty one, which amused everyone to no end, and Fang agreed because he still felt guilty about the alcohol poisoning incident from earlier and was eager to prove to Ren that he was being good and listening to whatever Ren said), was slightly tipsy. In general, Ren could hold his liquor really well – so no one was able to figure out that Ren was actually a little drunk until the party ended and Fang brought Ren back home.

Once they got home, though, Ren's cool 'Chairman Ren' persona slipped away and he started acting like a spoilt child, much to everyone's amusement.

"I don't want to walk," Ren complained in a petulant voice, refusing to get down from the car when they reached home. He held out his arms and looked at Fang pitifully. "Carry me," he said with an adorable pout.
