‘The man reached out, ready to throw out the drunkard who had barged into his room. Before his hand grabbed the woman’s collar, she suddenly reached out and hugged his waist tightly.
“Baby Yu, I miss you.”
“Baby Yu, do you know I’ve been looking for you for two months?”
“Tm not the only one looking. Many people have been looking for you for months.”
“[ dream of you every night. I dream of you sinking into the river and telling me how cold it is. I dream of you telling me that you’re waiting for me to find you.”
The drunk woman’s voice was low with a hint of sobbing. It made one’s heart ache.
‘The man’s hand stopped in mid-air. He was only wearing a cotton shirt and felt his chest soaked in something warm. Only then did he realize that the woman in his arms was crying.
He did not like strangers getting close to him. He truly hated this kind of intimate touch.
After a few moments of silence, the man frowned. The hand that had stopped in mid-air mere seconds ago reached out to grab the woman’s collar, ready to pick her up and throw her out. Just as he exerted force, the arm that was still around his waist tightened a little. It was as if she had sensed that he
was about to get rid of her.
‘The woman rubbed against his chest and found an extremely comfortable position. She was humming something, but it was too soft for the man to make it out.
‘The man took a deep breath and forcefully pushed away the arm around his waist. He got off the bed and carried the woman up horizontally. He walked out of the room and came to the door.
Before he could chuck her out, the woman’s arm hugged his waist again. She hugged him even tighter than before, as if she knew what he was going to do next.
In fact, this was Qin Shu’s usual response. She liked to sleep in Fu Tingyu’s arms. She liked to hug his waist. When her body felt empty, she instinctively hugged him tighter.
“Baby Yu, why don’t you remember me? Why do you want to chase me away?” Qin Shu cried sorrowfully. Her tears did not stop.
‘The man’s body froze. He looked down at the woman in his arms, groaning and crying at the same time. It gave him a royal headache.
“Where did this crazy woman come from?” he asked himself.
After standing at the door for a few seconds, he turned around and walked into the room with Qin Shu still in his arms. He turned on the lights in the room and put her back on the bed, pulling up the blanket and covering her.
After he had tucked her in, he stood by the bed and looked down at the woman on the bed. There were still tears on her eyelashes, and her eyes were a little swollen from crying.
She waved her hands in the air for a while, as if she was trying to hold on to something. In the end, she grabbed the blanket and held it in her arms. Her eyebrows were knitted tightly together, and she slept very restlessly.
Ina day, he saw this woman cry twice.
The man pinched the space between his eyebrows, trying to relieve his headache. He turned around and walked to the sofa, picked up his clothes and slowly put them on.
He then sat down and planned to sleep upright on the sofa for one night.
His deep eyes glanced at the person on the bed. He found that she, who was originally sleeping in the middle, was now pressed up against the wall with a blanket between her. She seemed very uneasy and scared.
‘The winter night was very long.
In the second half of the night, the man looked at the bed more times than he blinked.
‘The woman had clearly drunk a lot of alcohol and kept saying that it was hot. She took off her clothes and moaned uneasily. “Baby Yu, it’s so uncomfortable, so hot…”
‘As an average man, he really could not withstand such an exciting scene.
It was normal for him to have a reaction.
The man looked down and his face darkened. Finally, he stood up and walked into the bathroom.
When he came out again, he looked much better.
In order to let himself sleep more comfortably in the remaining few hours, the man took a towel dipped in cold water and covered the woman’s face. It would cool her down very well, and at the same time, it blocked the agonizing whines that she made from time to time.
The towel was cotton and had very good ventilation. She wouldn’t feel suffocated.
‘The woman finally calmed down alittle. Only then did the man return to the sofa and sit down to continue sleeping.
‘When the sky turned white, it also gradually brightened up.
The man had slept fitfully for only three hours. He glanced at the woman on the bed and found that she was sleeping soundly.
“Just whose bed is this?” he asked himself again.
‘The man sat on the sofa for a while, then got up to wash up before leaving the house.
He turned around and looked at his room. “I hope that crazy woman leaves by the time I am back,” he muttered.
After the man left, Ye Luo walked out from the back of the room with Boss Ba in his arms. He looked at the person who looked exactly like Fourth Master for a long time.
Early in the morning, he realized that Qin Shu hadn’t woken up yet, so he went to knock on the door. He knocked for a long time, but no one answered.
Ye Luo had no choice but to break into the room. He found that the room was empty. When he looked at the bed, he saw that the quilt was folded very neatly. With one glance, he knew that it had been untouched the entire night.
He remembered that Qin Shu had drunk last night. He was afraid that something had happened to her, so he asked Boss Ba to lead the way. He followed Boss Ba’s lead and came all the way to this room.
Before he went forward, he saw a man walk out from the room. He looked exactly the same as Fourth Master. Not only did he look like him, but his temperament was also very similar.
This man must be the one that Qin Shu mentioned yesterday, which was Fourth Master.
After the man had walked far away, Ye Luo carried Boss Ba into the room. He found Qin Shu sleeping very soundly on the bed.
After giving it some thought, he chose not to wake her up but turned around and left.
Ye Luo proceeded to exit the room and follow behind Fourth Master at an unhurried pace. It had only been a few minutes before the man sensed that he was being stalked. As a result, Ye Luo did not dare to keep up with the trail.
He could only head back and wait for Qin Shu to return before making any plans.
The sun was high in the sky when Qin Shu woke up with a headache, as a result of her hangover.
She rubbed the space between her eyebrows and opened her sleepy eyes. She stared at the furnishings in the room for a long time. This was not the room in the village chief’s house.
“Could it be that I went back to the wrong room after I got drunk?” she wondered.
Qin Shu was so scared that she sat up abruptly. She realized that something was wrong. She looked down and saw that the white shirt she was wearing was a little messy. Several buttons on it had been torn off. She did not feel good at all.
Then, she realized that the Miao Xin clothes on the bed were the same ones she had worn yesterday.
“How could I make such a crass mistake?” she moaned.
Qin Shu checked herself first. There were no telltale signs on her body. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, she knew that nothing like that had happened even without checking, because her body didn’t feel out of the ordinary.
Qin Shu put on her clothes as fast as she could and walked out of the room. She wanted to ask the owner if she had done anything wrong since she was drunk last night.
When she came to the living room, she saw that the furnishings looked familiar. Was this the room where Fu Tingyu lived?
She saw the tea set on the wooden table and confirmed that this was where he lived now.
So it meant that she came to his place last night when she was drunk?
Qin Shu sighed, relieved. As long as she didn’t barge into someone else’s house, it was fine.
She looked around the house but didn’t see Fu Tingyu. “Where did he go?” she wondered.
The man came back from outside around noon. “That crazy woman should have left, right?” he thought to himself…
