Zuo Baixuan didn't hear Luan Yenan's reply for a long time, but her heartbeat was loud enough as an answer.
She laughed again, looked up, and was about to retaliate against the teasing Luan Yenan had given her before.
"Luan Yenan, you like me a lot."
An unguarded smile reveals genuine joy.
Looking at that smile, Luan Yenan couldn't deny it, and couldn't even bring himself to not answer.
That's right, I do like her. Otherwise, why would I do so much?
She's a capitalist; she won't do anything without profit. She's always the one ripping off others, so why would she dig a pit for herself to fall into?
Luan Yenan pinched Zuo Baixuan's face, not too hard, not too soft, and whispered in Zuo Baixuan's ear, "I'll only admit it if you can still say such things when you're sober."
Even when drunk, Zuo Baixuan clearly knew that the invisible shackles on her body when she was sober could not be removed simply by "living a carefree life".
What she needs to break free from is the shackles on her mind.
Only by letting go of obsessions can we truly open our arms.
She was well aware, of course, that this was unfair to Luan Yenan.
"Hmph. You... could also choose to get me drunk... wouldn't it be better to let me out?" Zuo Baixuan treated herself as a second person at this moment, speaking in a completely unrestrained tone.
Luan Yenan laughed when he saw Zuo Baixuan's ears and face turn red at the same time.
This isn't some kind of second personality; she's just letting her inner self be amplified after drinking.
Luan Yenan cupped Zuo Baixuan's face and lowered his head to kiss her.
She can endure it when she's alone.
But how could I bear to look at Zuo Baixuan? How could I bear to look at Zuo Baixuan when she was drunk?
Zuo Baixuan looked at the unsealed flame in Luan Yenan's eyes, her figure blocking all the light coming from the window behind her.
The beast was released from its cage, and she saw the madness in Luan Yennan, and she embraced that madness.
She responded as she wished, quickly losing all her strength and hooking her arms around Luan Yenan's neck. Only when her fingers traced the back of his neck did she realize that Luan Yenan was still wearing a barrier patch after taking a shower.
Before I could even think, I felt a lightness on my body, my feet left the ground, and I was lifted onto the desk.
Changing direction and posture, Zuo Baixuan withdrew her hand and placed it on Luan Yenan's shoulder. Completely exhausted from the kiss, she lay down on the desk, bumping into a water glass.
After an unknown amount of time, the fire that had been burning in Zuo Baixuan's chest was ignited and satisfied, eventually turning into a small flame that burned slowly.
With her last bit of strength, she wrapped her legs around Luan Yenan's waist to stop her from causing any more trouble. She then lay helplessly on the desk, muttering a complaint: "The desk is so uncomfortable."
Luan Yenan embraced her, regaining a sliver of his rationality, and carried her to the sofa.
The nightgown lay limply on the edge of the table, and with the breeze stirred up by Luan Yenan's movements, it fell to the floor along with the water spilled from the overturned glass on the desk.
As Luan Yenan carried Zuo Baixuan into the light, he asked, "So, you came to find me for this?"
The obscured matter could refer to the question Zuo Baixuan just raised, or it could refer to the sudden incident that occurred when both parties lost control of their impulses.
Zuo Baixuan's pink profile was illuminated by the light from the window.
Light is always fair.
Zuo Baixuan showed half of her face, and Luan Yenan also showed half of his face.
Zuo Baixuan saw the familiar mockery on Luan Yenan's face again; that mischievous teasing was meant to embarrass him.
Zuo Baixuan remained unusually calm this time.
One person does the work, and one person takes the blame.
Let the alcohol be the judge of what Zuo Baixuan did while drunk!
Zuo Baixuan seemed oblivious to Luan Yenan's wicked intentions and replied, "That's not all. Since you're not in the country right now, can I contact those companies that want to cooperate on your behalf?"
When it comes to contacting partner companies, it's always possible to simply take over their network whenever there's a new opportunity.
Luan Yenan smiled, quite pleased that having him sidelined seemed to be part of the "plan," even when he was drunk, the little white flower hadn't forgotten.
Seeing that Luan Yenan only smiled but didn't answer, Zuo Baixuan poked her finger at Luan Yenan's lips: "Answer me, okay?"
Luan Yenan smiled, a smile tinged with madness, and she bit Zuo Baixuan's finger.
Zuo Baixuan watched this scene and was unable to say anything more.
Luan Yenan's image in her eyes was magnified infinitely, completely obscuring the moonlight.
The celestial dog that devoured the moonlight carried Zuo Baixuan to the top of the clouds.
The Heavenly Dog seemed prepared to be punished by the Heavenly Court at any moment, enjoying every second of its rampage as if it were its last.
It was not Luan Yenan's intention to leave the study in such a mess.
But when she carried Zuo Baixuan back to the master bedroom, the streetlights outside the window had already been turned off. The moonlight had also completely disappeared into the clouds.
Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan, who was still whimpering in his arms, and gently kissed her sleeping face.
Touch the back of the neck again.
The area was soaked.
But after changing to a different barrier patch, there was no problem. At least this time, it didn't harm Zuo Baixuan's body. Her dazed state was simply because she had indulged herself too much earlier.
Luan Yenan seems to have regained the way of life she had in her previous life.
Live each day as if it were your last, don't look back, and try not to leave any regrets.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Zuo Baixuan turned around and hugged Luan Yenan.
"Are you sleepy already? You can catch up on sleep on the plane back." Luan Yenan stirred again; going to sleep so early would only leave her with regrets. As long as her pheromones wouldn't harm the innocent girl, she wanted to continue indulging herself.
...
When Zuo Baixuan opened her eyes again, the light outside the window was dim, and Luan Yenan was not in the room.
She squinted and looked out the window; it was a cloudy day, and she couldn't tell the time.
I turned my head to look at the clock.
His eyes widened.
She could still vaguely hear Luan Yenan's words from last night... no, it should be said that he said "I'll catch up on sleep on the plane" shortly before sunrise today.
This is no longer about catching up on sleep on the plane. It's already afternoon, and the plane has long since taken off!
Zuo Baixuan didn't even have the strength to sit up; her whole body ached as if she needed to recuperate abroad for three to five days.
She closed her eyes, letting the events of last night play out in her mind.
She covered her face with her hands, no longer even having the right to criticize Luan Yenan. She was the one who had indulged herself first, and Luan Yenan was just going along with her, even going more insane than she had.
But I have to go back.
My reckless trip here has not only delayed my final exam preparation, but it has also slowed down the company's project progress and hindered the plan.
Zuo Baixuan struggled to sit up.
His body was covered in bruises.
Yesterday... if her memory hadn't been blurred by alcohol, she would have really thought she had been domestically abused by Luan Yennan.
But how could she?
She was just bolder than usual, leaving marks frantically as if this would be the last time in her life.
It's not the markings brought by pheromones, but countless visible markings.
How could this be the last time?
What they said about it being the last night was a complete lie.
This person's sense of contractual obligation is zero in this matter.
Zuo Baixuan bit her lip.
She even began to suspect that Luan Yenan's strange behavior yesterday was a ploy to deceive her into walking into a trap.
That crazy woman is really good at it.
But thinking back to last night's "trap".
Zuo Baixuan pulled the blanket over her head and rested for a while.
Then Luan Yenan's voice came from outside the blanket: "You're awake? Perfect timing, get up and have something to eat."
Luan Yenan's voice was too understated.
This displeased Zuo Baixuan.
Even if you were the one who struck first yesterday, that's no excuse for you to make such a ridiculous statement!
Zuo Baixuan crawled out of bed, pointing angrily at various parts of her body and scolding, "Look what you've done!"
A flicker of surprise crossed Luan Yenan's eyes; he almost thought that the "personality state" of the "drunken little white flower" still lingered.
But judging from how Zuo Baixuan wrapped herself in the blanket after she finished speaking, it was clear that she was just momentarily confused.
Luan Yenan tried to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't.
"Stop laughing!" Even though she hadn't made a sound, Zuo Baixuan still noticed and her displeasure overflowed from under the covers.
Luan Yenan walked over to Xiaobaihua and tugged at the blanket: "Alright, get up and eat, we have things to do later."
"What are you doing? I said I wanted to go back to China, and you didn't object at the time. So you were waiting for me here? You're not planning to put me under house arrest, are you?" Zuo Baixuan poked her head out from under the covers, her hair flying everywhere in protest.
Luan Yenan smoothed her frizzy hair and shook his head, saying, "No, I had already rebooked your flight tonight because you overslept, but something came up that I thought you would be interested in."
"What is it?" Zuo Baixuan raised her eyebrows, as if warning Luan Yenan that if he was lying to her, the consequences would be severe.
"Qin Yuancheng and Luan Yecha are both abroad and want to meet with me," Luan Yenan replied.
Zuo Baixuan's hands tightened, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "One is your uncle, and the other is your brother. What do they have to do with me? I'm not interested. I'm in a hurry to go back to China and get back to the company to sideline you."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's get up and eat first, then I'll take you to the airport," Luan Yenan said, putting down the clothes he was holding.
Zuo Baixuan looked at Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan didn't move for a long time. Zuo Baixuan couldn't hold back any longer and said, "What are you still standing here for? I need to change my clothes."
“I just wanted to confirm if you need any help,” Luan Yenan replied.
