7 min read1,769 wordsMature
Something’s not right with the drink.
A stream of hot air surged up from the lower abdomen unceasingly, even the tip of her tongue started to feel slightly dry.
Zhinan initially thought it was thirst, so she gulped down several glasses of water.
But it didn’t help one bit, on the contrary, she started feeling more and more irritable, as if a fire was building up internally.
“Zhinan, are you okay?” Most of the crowd had gone over to the lawn to dance. Jiang Li at the table opposite hers noticed her abnormality, “Your face’s quite red, are you drunk?”
“Do you need me to get the chef to make you a bowl of hangover soup?”
He had been hesitating in his seat, looking for a chance to talk to the girl, but who knew he would see her in a drunken stupor when he glanced over.
Zhinan reluctantly shook her head in reply, she could trust no one but Han Xing here.
After she sent him away, she glanced at the empty glass. She wasn’t sure if it’s hallucination, but she could see doubles in her line of vision
This shouldn’t be happening, she is not one who’d fall at just a few cups. At the western restaurant with Jiang Ting previously, was but an act of drunkenness she put up.
But the reaction she’s having now, seems!!!
She jolted up in alarm, seems like when I’d accidentally consumed the medicine Lin Yao left at home when I was thirteen.
Those tormenting aftereffects she had were deeply ingrained in her mind. After being insulted by Lin Yao, she soaked herself in a wooden barrel filled with icy cold water for a whole day before having relief, her whole body felt as if she had her soul sucked out.
The reactions she’s having now are exactly the same as they were then.
Zhinan tried to drink two more mouthfuls of cold drinks– she quickly swallowed.
Sure enough, a gush of fire rushed up to her chest, stronger than before, I’ve definitely been drugged!
In a panic, a face filled with ill-intentions popped up in her mind.
— It’s him!
It’s Zhang Guyang, absolutely! No wonder he kept urging her to drink, no wonder he came up next to her, he must have poured it into her glass when she turned her back!
Perhaps Tang Ziyu is also involved!
Confirming her current situation, Zhinan started to feel scared. The rectangular table was already mostly emptied of people. They were all laughing and chatting on the lawn. She mustered all her strength to look for Han Xing among the crowd.
She was just about to reach the peak of TaiShan Mount, there’s no way she’d allow for any mistake to happen at this critical time.
Zhinan pushed herself up with some effort, and after taking two steps, a reckless thought slammed her mind.
Like thunder and lightning piercing through the shackles of the night— divine enlightenment.
This may appear to be a misfortune, but who knows, it could actually be a blessing in disguise.
I know how to get through Jiang Ting’s final tough barrier!
At the moment the idea was formed in her head, the panic was instantly overwhelmed by excitement, her heart starting beating rapidly— boiling with excitement.
Zhinan sat down as if nothing happened and fished out her phone while pretending to drink a cup of beverage. She changed Jiang Ting’s contact name to “Mr. Warmth”, and set up an auto dialing of his number every fifteen minutes.
Once done, she turned her phone to silent mode and slid it back into her back pocket.
If the timing is accurately gauged, she would definitely be able to sense the slight vibration after the phone call connects.
At this moment, Zhi Nan was extremely grateful that she had worn a watch today, this habitual movement became an important weight that tilts the balance to determine success or failure tonight.
This plan is so risky that she can’t calm her heart. She stuffed the mini fruit knife from the table into the inside of her sneakers. Even if she couldn’t hurt them, she doesn’t mind stabbing herself with it, heck if they’d still be interested.
Loud laughter in the night completely covered up the meticulous preparations in the corner of the long table, where only the girl resting on her arm weakly could be seen, immersed in a dreamy and blurred drunken state——
“NanNan-NanNan” Han Xing came back after a round of socialising to see her resting with her head on the table. His eyes were semi-opened, an epitome of a drunk beauty.
“NanNan, are you drunk?” Han Xing was surprised and touched her small face– as expected, it was hot to the touch.
Han Xing was about to go to the front hall to get a servant to help her upstairs when a few shouts travelled over, hurrying for the main lead of the day to cut the cake.
“Be there, right away!” she said anxiously, “Don’t rush me, wait a while.”
She shook the girl’s shoulders, her half-lidded eyes opened slightly, there seemed to be an overflowing spring of water in her eyes, which became even more moving under the sad moonlight.
“…XingXing, why are you shaking?” She said with a slight smile.
Who’s shaking, you’re obviously drunk.
“NanNan, let me take you upstairs to rest, okay?” Han Xing helped her up. But who would’ve thought that a drunk girl was stronger than her, she struggled out of her grasp.
“No…can’t…I want to go back…”
Her words were jumbled, Han Xing leaned in nearer for a long while before realising she was saying that there was still work in the evening, and she hadn’t completed the task the supervisor had assigned her, she had to go to work on time tomorrow otherwise she would definitely be scolded.
Han Xing’s heart ached at her words, with no choice, she could only call for the driver to drive her back.
“Little XingXing, your Zhang-gege is going to leave.”
She turned her head, unknowingly, Zhang Guyang had stood behind her, his smile was as lazy as ever.
Tang Ziyu frowned as if immersed in some kind of conflict and heaviness.
Han Xing hadn’t spoken yet, but Zhinan on the side was propping herself up, muttering that she had to go. Her entire being obviously was too weak to even stand up, and yet she insisted on going back to the hotel.
“Oh, what’s wrong with her?” Zhang Guyang asked casually.
“NanNan is a little drunk.” She said, “I will get the driver to send her back.”
“Do you want me to take her back? I’m going back to YuanJing Garden and Marriott is on the way.”
Why so eager all of a sudden, Han Xing squinted her eyes at him.
It’s just that Zhang Guyang’s fishy activities were never done in front of her, and her impression of this neighbour-gege is nothing more than someone who’s unreasonable and rebellious.
She looked him up and down, “You’re not thinking of any bad ideas, are you?”
“Forget it, if you don’t need me to help.” Zhang Guyang had a face that said ‘ignorant of my kindness’, “I rarely am in such a mood to do something kind, and it’s just an offer in passing, it’s good if I’m not needed.”
After speaking, he turned and prepared to leave.
“Wait!”
Han Xing hesitated a bit. It would be more assuring to have him than the driver. Besides, it’d take another half an hour for the driver to arrive, and Nan Nan had to be delayed for so long.
She was struggling, and those on the lawn kept hurrying her, making it a headache for her.
“Okay, you can send her.” She said, “but you are not allowed to bully NanNan. Remember to send me a message after sending her back.”
Zhang Guyang raised his eyebrows and nodded.
She turned her head and whispered to Zhinan, asking for her consent, but she missed the bout of darkness that flashed past his eyes.
By the side, Tang Ziyu’s frown deepened.
The party was held in full swing, and when the cake was cut and champagne splashed freely, the atmosphere reached a climax.
No one had noticed that after leaving the villa, Tang Ziyu, who was supporting Zhinan by the arm, directly carried her up princess style when he saw her faltering once again in her footsteps— putting her into the car quickly.
*****
Under the neon night light, the vehicles on the overpass continued to speed by.
When the wheel ran over the bumper road, Tang Ziyu hurriedly moved her head to lean on his shoulder as he spotted the girl’s head about to hit the car window.
In this position, the girl was completely leaning into him, his shoulders could feel the softness, and out of instinct and desire, Tang Ziyu wrapped an arm around her waist.
Her head slid to the curve of his neck, her warmth and fragrance were firmly nestled against him, and her breath sprayed on his neck.
His eyes darkened, and such an intimate swan crossing neck posture, closed their distance so much so that he could almost smell the scent of flowers.
It’s not perfume-that even when expensive, can’t hide its corrupt smell.- that he is used to.
The smell on her is the simplest shower gel, that seeps through his muscles and into the bone marrow— a unique and unforgettable scent.
The palpitations spread uncontrollably in his heart. He brushed away a few crisp hairs that covered her cheeks, through the street light that fleeted past outside the window, the car’s interior brightened and dim gradually, flashing her redden and powdery-pink face, leaving behind breathtaking beauty.
Tang Ziyu stared, utterly mesmerised by her beauty.
He always knew that she was pretty, she was like a rose with morning dew at their first encounter— unforgettable when you cast your eyes upon.
But only when looking at her up close could he truly understand the creator’s bias. Her face is as tender as mutton white jade and soft to the touch. His fingertips only dared to trace her outline shallowly, afraid to hurt her if he exerted strength.
His Adam’s apple moved, and his fingers slowly moved down the bridge of her nose, to those pale pink-coloured soft lips.
She had specially put on lip gloss for the party attendance, a hint of fragrance travelled from her slightly parted lips to his nose.
Tang Ziyu seemed to be bewitched, he lowered his head uncontrollably and pressed his lips to hers.
