Chapter 212: 212 The way she woke up was wrong; she needed to go back to sleep

212 The way she woke up was wrong; she needed to go back to sleep.

A faint aroma of wine mixed with her floral scent, threading into Xie Shiyu's lungs, somewhat addictive.

The scorching heat at his ear seemed to roast him over a fire.

His Adam's apple rolled repeatedly, he restrained himself from pulling back, and his hoarse utterance of "good" sounded like that of someone long dwelling in a desert, severely lacking water.

Tushan Jiu's drunkenness grew stronger, she wondered why his voice had changed, although it was still pleasant, she wanted to figure it out.

Thus she flicked the last string of Xie Shiyu's reason hard, her fingers touching his Adam's apple, her cool fingertips tapping lightly a few times.

"Huh? Xie Shiyu, it's moving!"

Xie Shiyu felt like he was about to explode.

He rose, bent over, and horizontally lifted Tushan Jiu, then said to the still-sober Wang Dongqing, "I'll take Jiujiu back first; a car is waiting outside for you to take after you finish drinking."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiang Yichu, already seated there, wiping tears, his face flushed red, and added, "Don't let him drink; keep an eye on the two of them."

Wang Dongqing set down his cup, stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir! I guarantee to complete the mission."

Hearing that, Tushan Jiu also reached out and poked her own head, her voice soft: "Choked to death, boyfriend!"

Xie Shiyu: "......"

Leaving the restaurant, Xie Shiyu's steps were very quick.

After getting in the car, he instructed the driver to head back to the hotel.

Tushan Jiu, having drunk a little too much, was not honest at all, but unusually clingy.

To say how clingy she was, it was basically clinging to Xie Shiyu without letting go.

Xie Shiyu also indulged her, letting her toss about.

Although it was winter, the car's air conditioning wasn't set very high.

But Xie Shiyu's forehead was covered in a thin sheen of sweat.

Upon reaching the hotel entrance, Xie Shiyu had the driver fetch a small thin blanket, covered her with it, then opened the car door.

After getting out of the car, he said nothing, holding Tushan Jiu as he went up to the top floor.

Xie Shiyu's embrace was warmer; Tushan Jiu had tossed enough in the car and now felt a bit drowsy.

But suddenly, with a dizzying spin, she sank into something even softer.

Huh?

She had just been held by Xie Shiyu, so how did she end up lying on the bed now?

Tushan Jiu opened her eyes, somewhat dazed.

What met her gaze was a bright crystal lamp on the ceiling.

Her mind was still not fully clear, but upon hearing the sound of water, she suddenly realized she hadn't taken a bath yet.

She had drunk alcohol, she smelled awful, she needed a bath.

On the bed she did a carp sit-up, sat up, closed her eyes, and began to take off her clothes.

While undressing, she muttered, "Bath, need a bath, stinky!"

At that moment, Xie Shiyu was soaking a towel in warm water, ready to wipe her down to make her more comfortable; hearing the movement, he came out and almost choked on his own saliva.

Seeing Tushan Jiu already moving her hand behind her back, he rushed over in a few strides and pressed down on the hand she was about to move.

The fire that Xie Shiyu had barely held back flared up again, but since Tushan Jiu was not sober, he couldn't act on it, so he coaxed softly, "Jiujiu, be good; we won't bathe today—you smell fine, I'll just wipe your face and you'll feel better, okay?"

While speaking, he fumbled, pulling over the blanket to cover that patch of white.

But Tushan Jiu is now a drunk; if she could behave, he wouldn't have worked up a sweat from her tossing in the car.

Tushan Jiu pushed against Xie Shiyu's hand trying to cover her with the blanket, then clung to his arm, cooing softly, "I want to take a bath, I must take a bath—are you worried? If you are, then let's bathe together."

Xie Shiyu pinched his brow, "No."

Tushan Jiu frowned, "Why?"

Xie Shiyu lowered his gaze to her; his eyes seemed to have flames flickering within.

He knelt on one knee beside the bed, slowly leaning toward Tushan Jiu until she could no longer support herself and fell back onto the bed.

Tushan Jiu blinked her big eyes, her face full of question marks; not hearing Xie Shiyu's reply, she asked again, "Why not?"

As soon as her words fell, Xie Shiyu's body pressed onto hers, then he lightly bit her red lips and hoarsely said, "Do you know why now?"

At first Tushan Jiu was unhappy about him pressing on her, she writhed a couple of times, then she suddenly felt something.

Her thoughts were a beat slow; it took her a while to realize what it was.

After serious consideration for a few seconds, she nodded, "That really isn't possible......"

Xie Shiyu gave a low laugh, kissed her lips again, and was about to get up to rewarm her towel.

But just as he rose, he heard Tushan Jiu mutter to herself, "Um, yes, still not possible now; the curse hasn't been broken—after I break the curse, I'll find him to take care of this."

Xie Shiyu: "!!!"

He helplessly shook his head, hoping that when she remembers tomorrow morning, she won't turn into an 'ostrich'.

After swapping in a warm damp towel, he wiped her down wherever he could, then brought over her sleepwear.

He specially fetched a nightgown for her; it's easier to slip on.

After another bout of tossing that left her drenched in sweat, Tushan Jiu finally fell asleep; he placed a cup of warm water by her bedside, then returned to his own room to take a cold shower.

After showering, he still felt uneasy, so he went back to check on Tushan Jiu's room.

Good, the blanket wasn't covering her at all.

He reached to cover her; she flipped it away with a backhand.

Xie Shiyu, also worn out by her, gave up, threw off the blanket, lay on the bed, and pulled her into his arms.

Covering with the blanket, falling asleep—done in one smooth motion.

The next morning, Tushan Jiu woke up from heat.

At the moment her consciousness returned, she thought someone had slapped a ghost-binding talisman on her, huh, being tightly imprisoned by someone.

She hurriedly opened her eyes.

But when she saw Xie Shiyu's face right before her eyes, she was dazed.

She closed her eyes, then opened them again, and even in her excitement a golden light flashed, and even her heavenly eye opened.

She almost burned out her CPU, and only then did she recall everything that had happened last night.

Tushan Jiu slowly closed her eyes.

The way she woke up was wrong; she needed to sleep again, maybe after waking up she'd discover it was just a dream, huh, right?

Suddenly she heard a soft laugh.

Tushan Jiu suddenly opened her eyes and met Xie Shiyu's smile that hinted at playfulness.

"Hehe, um, good morning, you go back to sleep first, I'm going to the bathroom, see you later!"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Xie Shiyu to speak, directly broke free from his embrace, threw off the covers and ran, not even bothering to put on her slippers.
