Chapter 195: Who Did You Sleep With When You Were Drunk?! (1/2)

Cheng Xi’s cup of alcohol was too full. After her blaze of glory, Cheng Xi was so dizzy that she almost collapsed onto the floor in a daze.

As she left the celebration, she still managed to wave goodbye to her colleagues normally, which caused them all to shoot an askance look at her. “So you’re actually a good drinker, huh? Have you just been pretending to have a low alcohol tolerance all this time?” They very much wanted to drag her back and have another round with her.

Still light-headed, Cheng Xi replied, “Let’s go, let’s go! I can drink a few more glasses.”

She smiled vibrantly, her dimples filled with irresistible sweetness. However, that expression of hers only made it even more clear that she was actually about to fall into a drunken stupor. The head nurse pulled her back. “Alright, stop it. If you drink any more, we’ll have to carry you back.”

Cheng Xi was dissatisfied. “I’m still sober!” And to prove that she wasn’t lying, she refused to let anyone send her home and instead took a taxi all by herself. But on the way back, she nonetheless ended up asking the driver to stop the car so that she could vomit by the roadside. Her head was a complete mess by the time she finished, and she had to call Cheng Yang and ask him to pick her up. “Brother, I’m drunk! Wait for me at the foot of the building.”

Cheng Yang didn’t respond, so Cheng Xi muttered, “Don’t tell mom……she’ll scold me.”

After a brief pause, she went on to say, “When I’m gone, don’t make mom mad anymore. It’s fine even if you don’t make as much money, as long as you don’t overwork yourself for nothing.”

Then, after another pause, she said, “Don’t do bad things.”

And, “Don’t go looking for trouble with Lu Chenzhou either. Brother, I still like him a lot, and it hurts me to see you fight him.”

She kept on babbling as she was worried that if she stopped, then she might fall asleep. And then the taxi driver might take advantage of her…… She felt like she was still very self aware, and she even remembered to tell the driver, “Let me know when we arrive. My brother’s waiting for me.”

She even knew to tell Cheng Yang: “If you can’t find me, go and look for the head nurse. She took a photo of the taxi’s license plate.”

Her logic was very clear.

Cheng Yang didn’t say anything during the entire phone call, but he didn’t hang up either. Cheng Xi sunk into the side of the seat as she cradled her phone, completely forgetting everything she had said. She fell asleep for an unknown amount of time. When she woke up, the taxi had stopped, and she heard the driver ask, “Are you her brother?”

Cheng Xi heard a cool and clear voice reply as the taxi’s door opened. She tried to open her eyes. “Brother?”

The person gripped her arm and hoisted her up as he softly grunted.

It was a familiar voice, and as she leaned on him, she smelled a familiar scent. Cheng Xi relaxed, let her eyes droop shut, and she flopped down in his lap, incoherently muttering, “Lu Chenzhou……”

The hands holding her up tightened, and the rest of her memories of that night were a blur. She thought that she had gotten home and fallen asleep in a drunken daze, but then she seemed to stumble into a shameless dream. In her dream, Lu Chenzhou embraced her passionately. He was so aroused that he pressed his body up against hers, pinned her against the front door, and then started kissing her right then and there. Her body went limp, and he held her up even as he continued to kiss her from behind. They became wilder and more passionate with each kiss, until they were scalding, burning hot.

She clearly didn’t care about his supposed new girlfriend, but in her dreams, she pursed her lips and said, “Lu Chenzhou, I don’t want to be a mistress.”

He panted into her ear, “You’re not.”

She was very dissatisfied. “Liar. You already have a new girlfriend, and soon, you’ll even have a new fiancée.”

He shamelessly replied, “Who’s that?”

Cheng Xi couldn’t say anything in response, because even she didn’t know who his supposed girlfriend was. All she could remember was that this supposed girlfriend was a young girl, even younger than her, and probably prettier too.

Her heart felt constricted. “Well, you’ll get one in the future…… I’m moving to Gansu, and I’ll be far away from you, so after a while, I’m sure that you’ll forget about me and meet someone new.” She leaned against the front door, and after revealing her true thoughts, the urge to cry welled up inside her. Then, like a dam breaking loose, tears started rolling down her face. She couldn’t stop it even if she wanted to, and the sobs and sniffles poured forth ceaselessly.

He turned her around, and then softly kissed her glistening tears as they rolled down her slightly puckered lips. It was a gentle action, but it carried with it an ineffable sentimentality.

The entire scene was indescribably sad.

He started apologizing to her as he kissed her. “Cheng Xi, I don’t dare to love you too much. I’m scared that I won’t be able to stop myself from breaking your wings, so…… if you can, you should fly far away from me.”
