Chapter 121: Chapter 121 You Don’t Have a Car
“Huh?” Mu Lingyun felt her mind was fuzzy, and she was very sleepy, not quite understanding his meaning.
Ji Luochen propped her cheek, leaned in, ready to show her with actions what he meant.
However, as his thin lips approached the girl’s, he found she had fallen asleep against his hand.
At that moment, Ji Luochen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He had no choice but to adjust the girl’s head, letting her lean against the back of the chair to sleep.
Then he leaned back in his seat, gazed straight ahead, rubbed his fingers over his lips, and smiled with a corner of his mouth turned up.
...
Only then did he start the car.
After returning to the Ji family home, Ji Luochen lifted the deeply sleeping girl from the passenger seat and carried her straight into his room, laying her on his bed, then grabbed a blanket to cover her.
Then he sat down next to her, his slender and attractive forefinger tracing the contour of her chin.
She looked as beautiful asleep as she did in their past life.
He remembered that before she had stolen the Imperial Seal and left, there was a time when he would wake up from his illness-induced comas to see her sleeping by his bed.
She always looked especially docile, tempting him to tease her.
He brushed her hair aside and kissed her forehead, then headed into the bathroom to take a cold shower.
–
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but Mu Lingyun didn’t wake up until the next day.
When she woke up and found herself in Ji Luochen’s room, she instantly jumped out of bed.
She looked around and didn’t see Ji Luochen, but she did spot a set of clothes prepared for her on the nightstand.
Sitting on the bed, she earnestly tried to recall the events of the previous night, and her mouth twitched involuntarily.
It seemed she drank three glasses of alcohol, then got drunk, and in a daze, her body uncooperative, she even took advantage of her drunkenness to flirt with Ji Luochen for a bit.
Although she wanted to flirt when sober, she still felt embarrassed.
In Another World, she could handle a thousand drinks without falling, but back here, it only took three glasses, and just of beer at that.
Too embarrassing.
She took out her phone from her bag, opened WeChat, and checked the dormitory group chat history, finding that the three of them were indeed complaining about her.
A Pair of People: The one who knocked out after three drinks last night, she’s probably still not awake, right? We have a flight at noon, and we’ll have to leave in forty minutes at the latest, she won’t have time to see us off.
A Strand of Silk: Yeah, totally.
A Tree: I’ll come to send you off.
Mu Lingyun, with a thick skin, replied.
A Cloud: Uh… I’m awake…
A Pair of People: …
A Strand of Silk: …
A Tree: …
A Pair of People: So, are you still coming to send us off?
Mu Lingyun was silent; without showering, changing clothes, washing her face and putting on makeup, or eating breakfast, she couldn’t make it in forty minutes.
While she was still silent, she saw a phone call come through.
It was from Rong Shicheng.
In a time like this, she could only sell out her brother.
So she quickly typed out a line.
A Cloud: I just woke up, can’t make it. You guys didn’t arrange a ride to the airport, right? I’ll have my brother take you.
A Pair of People: Big brother? For real?!
A Strand of Silk: Awesome, we forgive you!
A Tree: Actually, it’s not necessary, right? I’m on my way to school, driving.
A Pair of People: Honey, behave, you’re mistaken, you don’t have a car.
A Strand of Silk: Honey, think again, where’d you get a car from?
A Tree: Alright, I don’t have a car.
Mu Lingyun glanced over the trio’s conversation and couldn’t help but laugh, then answered Rong Shicheng’s call.
