Guangyao wasn't the only one having a fantastic night. A big bonus from the boss led up to an even bigger payout once he was done cheating his way through the new underground casino.

Toraguma had fulfilled any monetary issues Gojyo had been struggling with tenfold. He was loaded. He had enough money to cover a wonderful life twice back in Chang'an, which was saying something! It wasn't like Chang'an was a cheap city!

But here he was, drinking down his first expenditures like there was no tomorrow. Letting out a hefty sigh as he slammed down what was probably his fourth glass of beer for the evening amidst the lively celebrations. Only to suddenly find a pair of arms wrapping around him from behind.

It was almost reflexive as he leaned back into the mysterious stranger's soft slender embrace. He was closing his eyes as he tilted his head back and nuzzled affectionately against their jawline.

Ah, such a slender frame as well. Indeed a beauty has embraced Gojyo in his good fortune.

And then he heard the voice.

His eyes shot open as he suddenly looked at a familiar smile.

"...Eh?........ Uuuuueghh!?" At once, he sat up in surprise. Raising his arms reflexively, he turned to meet Jin Guangyao face to face. "Old man!?"

Yep. That was Guangyao. He drunkenly cuddled Jin Guangyao, assuming he had been embraced by some cute dame who saw how loaded he was.

"What the hell! Do you always sneak up on guys like that??? Wait," He paused again, his eyes squinting as he leaned in to bring his face closer to the other man. "Are you drunk?"
