Chapter 23

Su Qianqian looked at Jiang Cuo with utmost seriousness. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too hasty. I wanted to be friends with you, so I always tried to show you my sincerity. But my past personality offended too many people and made too many enemies. Some people saw that they couldn't do anything to me, so they started to have designs on you. I will definitely give you justice in this matter, and I will not let your innocence be lost, nor will I let this matter have any impact on you."

I don't know if it was Su Qianqian's words that were so comforting or her serious expression that made me feel so safe.

At this moment, Jiang Cuo felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and his body went limp.

Even the hand that was tightly holding Su Qianqian's had lost its strength.

Su Qianqian could only let Jiang Cuo's limp head rest on her shoulder, half-hugging him in her arms.

He used his fingernails to fiercely pick off the red spots on Jiang Cuo's back.

Su Qianqian glanced at the sticky thing; it was indeed of rather poor quality.

'I've already removed these cameras. Please restore the signal in the room so I can call for help.'

[Useless System: Okay, host. Actually, these cameras aren't very useful. They're just there to increase the plausibility of the system's world storyline. The signal has been restored now, so you can contact people.]

Su Qianqian wanted to take her phone out of her pocket, but as soon as she put her hand in her pocket, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Jiang Cuo's palms were extremely hot, causing Su Qianqian's wrist to tremble from the heat.

At this moment, Su Qianqian snapped out of her reverie after removing the camera and realized that the current environment and the two people's posture seemed a bit off.

Jiang Cuo was breathing rapidly, her breaths spraying against her neck.

At this moment, Jiang Cuo was like a fish out of water, stranded on the shore, only able to gasp for breath, but receiving no relief, and only able to rely on the person in front of him.

He put all his weight on Su Qianqian.

Jiang Cuo kept absorbing the coolness from Su Qianqian's body, her palms burning and swollen. She could only look for something cool to relieve the heat, but it seemed that the only place she could hold was Su Qianqian's wrist.

Before long, the skin on Su Qianqian's wrist was already extremely hot from Jiang Cuo's scalding body temperature.

Jiang Cuo could only silently move his hand upwards, inch by inch.

Su Qianqian dared not move at this moment, fearing that Jiang Cuo would misunderstand her again.

The two were so close.

Su Qianqian could even smell the distinct scent of alcohol on Jiang Cuo, a hint of sweetness and a touch of spiciness, much like the smell of Zhou drinking half a bottle of Erguotou and then a bottle of red wine.

Combined with the inherent aggressive scent of ginger, it wasn't unpleasant at all.

But business was still the priority, so Su Qianqian tried to take her phone out of her pocket. However, as soon as Su Qianqian moved her arm, Jiang Cuo increased his strength, as if he didn't allow her to move, acting domineeringly and forcefully.

Completely different from that aggressive little hedgehog from before.

Unbeknownst to them, the chill emanating from Jiang Cuo had gradually dissipated.

Since Jiang Cuo was leaning on Su Qianqian's shoulder, Su Qianqian could only catch a glimpse of Jiang Cuo's profile out of the corner of her eye, and could not see what Jiang Cuo's expression was at that moment.

Su Qianqian could only gently coax him, "Jiang Cuo, let go of my hand first. There were two surveillance cameras behind you just now, and someone was maliciously taking pictures. I've already removed them. Now I just need to take out my phone and call my housekeeper. I'll call an ambulance to take you to the hospital in a little while."

No one will notice, and things will be fine when the time comes.

"You won't feel so bad in a little while, just be good, okay?"

At this moment, Jiang Cuo was in a daze, her eyes were blank, and she could only instinctively draw on the coolness of the person in front of her to relieve the heat in her body.

He seemed still not satisfied with Su Qianqian talking too much.

Jiang Cuo took a bite out of Su Qianqian's neck.

Su Qianqian's hair instantly became a mess.

Not to mention the fine hairs on his body, which stood up clearly.

Su Qianqian's hand, which was reaching for her phone, immediately froze. She didn't dare to move, and even her gaze remained fixed in place, her eyes not daring to wander.

What exactly is going on now?

Is Jiang Cuo already feeling the effects of the alcohol?

Does Jiang Cuo know what he's doing now?

Jiang Cuo is taking advantage of her!

[Waste System: Host, someone will pass by here in ten minutes, and you and Jiang Cuo will be discovered. Please resolve this matter as soon as possible within ten minutes.]

The waste system's notification left Su Qianqian no time to be stunned.

However, it's quite troublesome to transform Jiang Cuo from a cold and terrifying female villain into such a tormenting and opportunistic vixen.

How should she resolve this?

"Jiang Cuo, let go first, no... let go first, no... let go and let go too, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts... I didn't do anything to you, I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't even try my best... and I still got bitten, what did I get out of this?"

Su Qianqian was so overwhelmed by the atmosphere that she was sweating profusely and couldn't even speak properly. She even bit her tongue while speaking, which made her gasp in pain.

Just as Su Qianqian opened her mouth to explain, she felt Jiang Cuo's upper and lower rows of teeth silently exerting force.

She hadn't expected Jiang Cuo's teeth to be so sharp; they bit her and caused her some pain, and Jiang Cuo was even grinding them down slowly.

This is her neck, not a teething toy.

There was no sunlight in the equipment room; you could only see roughly through a little light. Now, the two of them were extremely close, their breaths mingling.

The atmosphere was so intense that Su Qianqian could hardly breathe.

"Jiang Cuo, wake up!"

Su Qianqian called out several times but received no response. She watched as Jiang Cuo's palm, which was as hot as boiling water, moved to above her forearm and even past her elbow.

Su Qianqian is not too thin, but rather has a chubby face, forearms, and calves, giving her a healthy and cute slim figure.

When Jiang Cuo's hand moved to Su Qianqian's elbow, whether consciously or unconsciously, he pinched the soft flesh on the inside of Su Qianqian's forearm.

Su Qianqian suddenly felt a cramp in her thigh and her buttocks go numb, because she was always ticklish.

Unexpectedly, this attribute still exists in this world.

Su Qianqian gritted her teeth tightly, trying to stop herself from trembling violently.

"Jiang Cuo, don't push your luck. If you keep this up, I won't tolerate it anymore."

Jiang Cuo didn't care about that anymore.

The stray hairs on her forehead were damp with a light sheen of sweat and hung down on either side of her temples.

Some of them were shorter, hanging down in front of her forehead, covering Jiang Cuo's slightly lowered phoenix eyes.

Jiang Cuo's eyes were glazed over, even unfocused, but if someone were to glance at him suddenly, he would appear to be staring at something with a chilling aura.

Even so, Jiang Cuo still maintained a rather aggressive demeanor to prevent anyone from easily getting close to her.

Su Qianqian was really annoyed by Jiang Cuo.

If Jiang Cuo were to touch her any higher, she would really burst out laughing, and like a duck, quacking loudly.

Someone will definitely hear the commotion and be drawn here.

Su Qianqian could only hold it in with all her might.

Then he grabbed Jiang Cuo's elbow and prepared to get up.

The plan was to first pull Jiang Cuo up and put him aside, then make a phone call to request outside help.

After thinking it through, Su Qianqian began to put it into practice.

She pulled Jiang Cuo's hand away, then slowly placed her hand on Jiang Cuo's chin and neck, supporting Su Qianqian's head and shoving Jiang Cuo's teeth away from her neck.

Su Qianqian hissed in pain.

It looks like her neck was bitten quite badly; hopefully, there was no blood.

Jiang Cuo is usually so quiet and doesn't interact with people much, you wouldn't guess he's so eloquent and sharp-tongued.

Jiang Cuo even used this adjective to describe her; she was truly wronged.

She won't accept it next time.

But to her surprise, when Su Qianqian stood up, she found that Barbie Q had gone numb because her legs were numb.

Instead of helping Jiang Cuo up, Su Qianqian knelt down again because her legs were numb. Afraid of falling on Jiang Cuo, she quickly used her elbows to support herself, making her position even more awkward.

At this moment, Su Qianqian stood with her arms on either side of Jiang Cuo, who was half-lying on a pile of cardboard and other odds and ends in the equipment room.

Su Qianqian could now see the expression on Jiang Cuo's face clearly through the sliver of light in the equipment room.

Jiang Cuo's usually fair and radiant face was now flushed red, as if shrouded in a red mist. Her eyes, which were usually so cold they could freeze a person into ice crystals, were now misty and filled with water droplets. Her eyes were slightly narrowed and hazy, her eyelashes trembled, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of charm.

Those phoenix eyes were no longer sharp; only softness and vulnerability remained.

The two faces were so close that a strand of Su Qianqian's hair, hanging down due to gravity, fell onto Jiang Cuo's face.

Jiang Cuo's cheeks were slightly itchy, and he frowned slightly in displeasure, wanting to reach out and pull the hair out.

Su Qianqian wanted to try her best to get out of this awkward situation.

Is the Jiang Cuo of today any like the Jiang Cuo of the past?

She doesn't care about anything and doesn't remember anything.

Even if she did something embarrassing, she would be the only one who felt embarrassed.

But now her legs are so numb that she can't feel anything in her feet at all.

If she had known her legs would be this numb, she would have stood up sooner.

It's all Jiang's fault.

He kept biting her neck and wouldn't let go.

Is she a kitten? Why does she have to be carried around like a mother cat?

Su Qianqian could only remain in this awkward position until her arms were almost numb, and only then did her legs feel a little better.

[Waste System: Host. There are only five minutes left. The host cannot delay any longer.]

The Waste System has already activated a cheat for the host, as long as the host calls the butler within five minutes.

There are emergency ambulances nearby that can be dispatched.

Su Qianqian had no choice but to use all her strength, like a dog digging in a hole, to get herself up.

Unexpectedly, the strand of hair that Su Qianqian left on Jiang Cuo's face made Jiang Cuo extremely unhappy. He tried to reach out and brush it off several times, but Su Qianqian stopped him each time.

Jiang Cuo had clearly lost his patience and pushed Su Qianqian's numb arm away.
