Chapter 257 Donst Look like a Good Guy (1/2)
The two of them supported each other while walking along the long corridor.
The others were burping due to the alcohol and waved to each other before entering their rooms.
The sounds inside the inn were covered by the heavy rain.
Xiang Wan struggled to help Bai Muchuan get back to her room, panting and gasping away.
”Hey!” She threw him onto the bed and relieved her arms by stretching and swinging about while frowning away. Next, she pulled the curtains, laid onto the bed under the atmospheric light, propped her cheek and observed him for quite a while. ”You're really drunk? Wake up!” She stared and patted his face.
Bai Muchuan opened his eyes slightly.
”Mm?” He did not seem to understand.
That drowsy look of his was sexy and passionate.
Xiang Wan gasped. ”Bai Muchuan, have I ever tell you before that I hate drunk men?”
Bai Muchuan mumbled, ”Little Xiang Wan, did anyone tell you before that you look especially adorable when you're angry?”
Adorable? Xiang Wan felt like sending him a punch.
A fist hit him hard on the shoulder. ”Am I still adorable now?” She gritted her teeth.
”Adorable.”
She put her hands on his shoulders and shook them vigorously. ”How 'bout this?”
”Adorable.”
”…” Xiang Wan put both hands on his head and shook him.
”Still adorable!”
”Urgh! Goodness!” Xiang Wan gave up.
There's nothing to talk to a drunk man.
It's hopeless. He's really drunk!
Xiang Wan sat beside Bai Muchuan, listening to the rain outside the window while looking at the half-drunk and half-awake man. She felt speechless at the entire group's behavior.
”I really wonder what all of you are thinking?”
”I don't know about them, but for my mind…” Bai Muchuan stretched out a hand, held her waist, and pulled her toward him.
Xiang Wan noticed that the corners of his lips were slightly curved upward and his eyes were very bright.
”My mind… It's all about you.”
Xiang Wan was so irritated that she kept poking him at his chest with a finger. ”Bai Muchuan, I didn't know you look like this when you're drunk.”
”How do I look?”
”Like an idiot!”
Bai Muchuan stroked her cheek with a smile. ”Do you want this idiot to accompany you for a while?”
Xiang Wan tried to keep her voice low, but her tone still sounded rather annoyed. ”You can really sleep in this situation?”
Bai Muchuan pulled and covered Xiang Wan with the quilt. ”I can. As long as you're here, I can sleep well.”
Xiang Wan's heart was burning with worry, yet he did not seem to care and refused to let her go.
No choice. Ultimately, she gave up struggling and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before her head rested on his shoulder.
”This is too crazy…”
She complained softly but did not say anything more.
Bai Muchuan embraced her and switched off the lights. Maybe he was really exhausted, his breathing fell on the top of her head. That felt warm and it seemed to play a part in speeding up Xiang Wan's sleep.
They were already worn out by travelling hundreds of miles that day.
Xiang Wan yawned; she was still thinking of something, but her eyelids were starting to feel heavy.
They did not go for a bath nor did anything else. They just hugged each other like this.
It was in the middle of the night where the rhythmic pitter-pattering of rain hit against the windows.
Outside the windows, the winds were sweeping against the pine trees on the mountain wave after wave, raging through the area and howling away!
Clack! All of a sudden, there was the sound of the door being opened.
After a momentary silence, the door was slowly pushed open.
It was pitch dark inside the room.
The two persons outside the door walked slowly toward the bed.
One of them stood near the bed, while the other went over to Xiang Wan's luggage.
”D*rn, it's locked!”
”The suitcase is not opened?”
”… No.”
”There's a passcode lock?”
”Yes.”
”D*mmit.”
Two people were communicating in a very low voice.
”What should we do?” One of them suggested, ”Why not… let's just take the suitcase away?”
”Don't make trouble…”
”But you sure you want to go back empty-handed?”
One of them became anxious, while the other reprimanded him in a low voice. ”Shut up! Let me think…”
He had not yet finished his words when he heard a sluggish voice coming from the direction of the bed. ”You want me to tell you the passcode?”
The two intruders were stunned beyond words.
Their bodies twitched upon hearing that and quickly took out their weapons.
”Don't move!” Bai Muchuan said sternly.
Click! The lights were on.
Bai Muchuan got off the bed slowly and stood beside it. He blocked their view and the two didn't know that Xiang Wan was underneath the quilt. The muzzle of his gun shifted between the two intruders. ”Get down on your knees, hands on your head!”
”Do you think you can do what you want?”
The younger intruder had a quick temper and was about to attack any moment.
Bang! Bai Muchuan showed no mercy. The bullet grazed that fellow's arm, causing him to growl in pain as his weapon fell to the floor.
His weapon was a dagger.
At the same time, there was a loud crashing sound coming from the door.
Someone outside banged against the closed door.
Tu Liang, Tang Yuanchu, and Ding Yifan dashed into the room and directly subdued the two intruders by pressing them against the floor, their arms pinned behind their backs.
”Better behave yourselves and don't move!”
Such agility! Do they still look like a group of drunk men?
Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow. He walked over to the two intruders, squatted down, and pointed his gun at the temple of one of them.
”Tell us! Who are you?”
”I-I-I…”
Under the pressure of being held at gunpoint, the younger intruder was stammering so badly that he was unable to talk.
The other intruder who was older, was quite calm.
