Chapter 709: Warm Your Night
Wait, what’s happening?
Where am I? Why is there a blanket that smells like women on me?
Zhang Wei was suddenly wide awake. He quickly sat up and nervously looked around. The light of the living room was off, but from the silhouette, he could faintly make out a flat with a warm interior design and a lived-in atmosphere.
Bright orange light came from the living room on the far end of the room, and hazy vapor seeped out from the slightly ajar door. The sound of water splashing could be heard every once in a while. Someone must be taking a bath.
Zhang Wei’s brain stuttered to a stop. Although he always boasted about going through women like clothes, truthfully, he had never gotten to replace the shirt that was his virginity.
Is this an erotic encounter?
Wait, I didn’t get wasted at a bar or anything. Why would I get picked up by someone? I was drinking with my colleagues, a totally legit gathering!
No way. Did one of them...do me?
Zhang Wei felt a mix of feelings, both nervous and a little excited.
Stroking his chin, he thought about who the woman in the bathroom could be.
Shuang Shuang was out of the question. She and her husband, Buzhou, were a loving couple and were likely making babies right now. She wouldn’t have touched Zhang Wei.
Empty Life didn’t make sense either. The woman might as well be a nun without worldly desires. She would never do things like this.
Could it be...Chestnut?
Hm, it would make sense. She was a bold woman with a big personality. She could do something out of bounds after getting drunk.
To Zhang Wei’s knowledge, though, Chestnut didn’t have a place in the city. She usually stayed at their base or the abandoned car repair that was her workshop. Were Chestnut the one laying a hand on him, Zhang Wei would’ve woken up in a hotel.
Unless...
Zhang Wei just came to a conclusion when the bathroom door opened, and Chen Ying emerged in a sexy bathrobe while cocking her head to dry the wet tips of her hair with a towel. She gave Zhang Wei a mysterious smile. “You’re up?”
Zhang Wei’s brain short-circuited again.
Shit, it really is Sister Ying!
Wasn’t I too lucky to have lost my V-card to Sister Ying? Dang, I have to relive the moment...remember the details, I mean... Shit, I can’t remember anything.
Chen Ying sat down on the edge of the bathtub, crossing her legs leisurely and patting the bathtub next to her. “Come, have a seat.”
Zhang Wei peeled his gaze away from her smooth thigh and sat down next to her, his legs shaking.
Chen Ying turned to the side to twist the tap for the shower. The sound of flowing water served as white noise to deter potential eavesdroppers.
She leaned in to whisper into Zhang Wei’s ear, “I have a favor to ask. No matter if you say yes or no, please keep it a secret.”
“Your trouble is my own, Sister Ying. I won’t hesitate to warm your night up.” Zhang Wei’s smile turned lecherous, and he started unbuttoning his shirt.
“That reassures me.”
Chen Ying’s expression turned serious. She said quietly, “I decided to go to the Nine Scions, Zhang Wei.”
Zhang Wei’s hands stopped, and his smile stiffened. His boiling blood quickly cooled, too.
After a long moment, he slowly asked, “Sister Ying, do you...mean that?”
“I’ll tell you the truth,” said Chen Ying. “I’ve long been in contact with the Nine Scions. Without their help, I wouldn’t have found Dust.”
“Now, the Qilin Guild is trying to take the Hundred Rivers Union by force. Madam Li chose to concede. Joining Qilin will make us into a frog getting cooked in slowly heated water, though, and I don’t want to be the frog.”
Her gaze was blazing. “You’ve been with me for years, Zhang Wei. Outside of Little Tian, you are my first choice and the person I trust the most. Consider if you’d like to go with me.”
Zhang Wei listened to her quietly. His cooled mind was the calm before a storm, and after a short moment, his blood boiled and rushed into his head, his dirty thoughts long evaporated.
“Shit!” He jumped to his feet. “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, Sister Ying!”
“Hush...” Chen Ying warned him.
Zhang Wei quickly shut his mouth and sat back down on the bathtub, lowering his voice while his body trembled in excitement. “To tell you the truth, Sister Ying, I’ve long wanted to join the Nine Scions. I have a good eye for people. Gao Yang is never meant to be a nobody. He’s the right person to follow. Madam Li is a good caretaker but not a good leader. Following her will lead to us slipping down into a pit.”
“Qilin’s a hypocrite. One day, karma’s going to catch up to him!”
“And Dragon? He’s too pretentious. I don’t like pretentious people. I can’t have a real heart-to-heart with them.”
Chen Ying hid her surprise. She didn’t expect Zhang Wei to have thought this far.
But it made sense. During his imprisonment, Zhang Wei must have gone through all that many times.
“If you already had the thought, why haven’t you done anything?” Chen Ying asked in a cool voice, eyes glinting.
