CH 34.1

The veins in Li Che’s forehead bulged as he glanced at the person behind him. In a cold voice, he said, “If you don’t shut your mouth, you won’t need to go to a palm reader to know the future, because I can guarantee that you won’t be having a good day today.”

“……”

The young man’s heart was rattled at the man’s unwelcoming face. He didn’t want to cause any trouble, so he just left, obviously saddened.

The girl was cute, but the man beside her was scary!

Li Che turned back around and saw her smiling at him, as if unaware of what had just transpired.

He grabbed Ye Yuqing’s wrist, dragged her to the front desk, and then proceeded to book an available room immediately.

This woman shouldn’t be left alone in the lobby, else she’ll have everyone around having their palms read in no time.

When there is a pretty woman who doesn’t seem sober, there’ll almost always be crooked men who might take advantage.

At first, Li Che wanted to ask the hotel staff to bring Ye Yuqing to her room, but just thinking about it made him feel worried so he tagged along as well.

To avoid any complications.

Today, I really became a father.

In the elevator, the hotel staff was enthusiastic as he remarked, “This lady doesn’t seem drunk at all! She isn’t even making too much noise. I’ll be sure to bring you some hangover medicine later, which will make her feel much better after~”

The staff thought that if every drunk guest was this well behaved, he’d really have to worship the Bodhisattvas.

Li Che looked at Ye Yuqing beside him.

He originally wanted to leave because he thought she was only a little drunk.#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

Right now, it was apparent that she wasn’t only a little bit drunk. She was fairly inebriated, but not to the point of her needing to vomit.

After swiping their room card to enter the room, Li Che had her sit on the sofa while giving her an order, “Just sit there. No moving or talking.”

“Okay.” Ye Yuqing obeyed and sat down, maintaining an upright posture as if she was an attentive student in class.

Li Che sighed. It was his fault for carelessly allowing her to drink. He can’t walk away now.

He’ll just have to wait it out until she’s taken the hangover meds.

A man and a woman were alone in the same room. Moreover, Ye Yuqing was drunk. To avoid arousing any suspicion, Li Che deliberately kept the door wide open.

He was a regular here in this hotel and he had his reputation to uphold.

Ye Yuqing maintained was able to maintain her position for a little while, but ultimately couldn’t help herself from talking, “Question! Teacher Li, may I please move?”#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

“You may.”

“Thank you. Teacher Li.”

Li Che’s eyes widened. “Don’t call me Teacher Li.”

Ye Yuqing looked at him with an aggrieved look, “I’m not allowed to call you Jason, or brother, and even Teacher Li? You’re too much~!”

“……”

“What should I call you then? Boyfriend?”

Ye Yuqing approached him as she spoke.

This man’s eyelashes were so long, black and neat, as if they were drawn. She wanted to touch them to see if they were fake, but Li Che grabbed her hand before she could.

Ye Yuqing blinked, and said, “I have something to tell you.”

“Hold it in.”

Ye Yuqing shook her head. She had been holding it for the entire day already–it’s been far too long!

She was normally very reserved, but alcohol loosens her up quite a bit.

“I’m happy with what I saw today.”

“What?” Li Che was baffled.

Ye Yuqing carefully enunciated, “Your body.”

“……”

Li Che stepped back to increase their distance.

She seemed pretty normal, so why is she like this when drunk?!

Ye Yuqing stretched her arms, while saying, “I’m not really an obedient girl!”

She felt trapped in an invisible net all her life, and had ‘held it in’ far too many times.

When she was a teenager, she didn’t dare to ask her father why they gave birth to her, but didn’t really bother to raise her well. In college, she was afraid to argue with other students, so she conceded her chance at being the Head of the Propaganda Department* in their school.

*PR-note: Yes, this is a thing in China. Yes, it is seen as prestigious.

She was considered to have a good temper in everyone’s eyes.

Everyone just saw her as good-natured.

Just once in her life, she wanted to rebel.

She had held this feeling in for 25 years, since she was a teenager. She felt that if she didn’t do it now, she’ll never have a second chance.

Li Che was the spark.

She finally found someone she wanted to fight desperately for, so she motivated herself to work hard once again.

Li Che couldn’t help but rub his temple. He was speechless.

Ye Yuqing bowed her head and said, “Thank you for dining with me. You make my day whenever you do. I would have never found the courage to go to those shops without you, so I am so lucky to have you.”

In fact, her normal life was very boring, and she’d normally just eat at home all alone.

After graduating from college, all her former roommates left to live their own lives, and she wasn’t close enough with any of her workmates to eat out with just one or two of them.

Even if Ye Yuqing had a restaurant she wanted to visit, she would have abandoned the idea, because going alone was unthinkable.

Li Che looked at this girl who was laughing foolishly and felt his heart ripple.

He was about to speak when a knock came from the door.

“Excuse me, I’m here with the hangover medicines.”

Li Che went to the door to receive the medicine. He then took a bottle of mineral water from the minibar, and walked towards her, saying calmly, “Drink this.”

Ye Yuqing didn’t acquiesce, but instead began to shake her head. “Don’t wanna! It’s bitter.”
