Chapter 576: In Short, Full of Regret!

What a marvelous scene!

Watching the two Misses on the bus "cling" to each other, Bai Liang almost wanted to clap his hands, even toss them a tip for the show!

When would you normally get to see a performance like this?

He suddenly seemed to understand why so many fujoshi enjoyed watching those BL adaptations and even BL dramas — from the opposite sex's perspective, it really was quite entertaining, the kind that made one unable to keep a smile from tugging at the corner of one's mouth.

Of course, the scene before him wasn't that exaggerated — just some cuddling — mainly because both girls' looks were right there, a little too pleasing to the eye.

Still, Meng Jie pouting her little mouth and kissing about all willy-nilly really was a bit too funny.

And Reba's look of distaste mixed with helplessness was equally hard to keep a straight face at.

"Why don't you just hand her over to me?" After enjoying the show for a moment, Bai Liang prepared to lend a hand.

But Reba, while fussing with Meng Jie — seemingly trying to make her behave — firmly refused Bai Liang's help.

"No way! Am I really going to let her take advantage of you right here in front of me today?"

"Well, you don't have to be that happy about it either." Halfway through the sentence, under Reba's faintly glowering gaze, Bai Liang still chose to shut up and keep watching.

Luckily, Meng Jie really had drunk quite a lot today — who told her to get a sudden whim and run in there to be "Wang Gang"~

Two rounds of drinking in a row, her tolerance simply couldn't hold up.

At this point she really was blowing bubbles like a goldfish.

Fortunately she didn't keep it up too long; in a bit her head stopped nuzzling about, letting Reba breathe a small sigh of relief, and she began to complain: "I came here after a shower, and now I'm sweating all over again — washed for nothing! I'll have to redo it when we get back."

"It's just a little sweat, sneak a break and wash again tomorrow morning~" Bai Liang seized the chance to egg her on.

But Reba instantly saw through what he was thinking. "No way! You have to wash up clean too later, no slacking off, or you'll have to redo it too."

"I wasn't planning to slack off."

"Da Bai~ when you lie you don't even look at me, and you deliberately turn your head away — way too obvious!"

By now Meng Jie had quieted down, and Reba's tone had actually returned to normal, even picking up a hint of coquettishness.

After chatting for a bit, Reba lowered her head to glance at Meng Jie, seemingly wanting to confirm whether she was truly drunk.

Finding nothing amiss, she tilted her chin at Bai Liang.

"What's up?" Bai Liang asked directly.

"I came to pick you up, and I'm helping you look after your little third — you're not going to give me a kiss?"

The "gold content" of that line was honestly a bit high.

The first half and the second half didn't seem to belong in the same sentence, as if they were completely contradictory.

It made one seriously doubt Reba's mental state at the moment.

"I've had a lot of alcohol today."

"Let me smell." As Bai Liang leaned his head in, Reba gently bit down on his lip — at this moment she didn't seem to mind at all.

Her love of cleanliness hadn't changed, but tonight's overwhelming victory clearly allowed her to be a little more forgiving.

She even got some mischievous, whimsical ideas in her head.

Back at the hotel, Bai Liang was all ready to escort Meng Jie back to her room.

But Reba took the lead directly, bringing her into Bai Liang's room.

Under the noble pretext: if you drink and then vomit, you could choke to death — someone has to be by your side.

That reasoning wasn't actually wrong, but Meng Jie wasn't without her own assistant.

And she wasn't that drunk either.

So this move was clearly a bit off — it looked like she was trying to pull some "killing the heart" sort of stunt.

While showering, Bai Liang was still mulling it over, but he figured Reba's mental state wasn't quite that unhinged.

At most, she'd made Meng Jie part of the play.

Sure enough!

When he came out of the shower, he saw Reba posing on the sofa — at first glance, scorching hot.

And with a slight turn of the head, he could spot the master bedroom door left ajar, with Meng Jie lying there asleep.

"Da Bai, come here!"

"What are you—"

"Come inspect whether I washed clean."

This move could truly be called staying true to the original mission!

She really did care about hygiene.

She half suspected that when Meng Jie had run in earlier, besides drinking, she'd secretly been up to some mischief — like sneaking a bite!

That really did wrong Meng Jie; Bai Liang quickly provided the answer:

"... I had quite a lot of alcohol today."

"Fair enough, I wronged you, sorry~"

Any "sorry" at a moment like this was naturally forgivable, because the young lady's apology was just too sincere.

She'd even patted Bai Liang's butt.

Anyone who's been scrubbed in a bathhouse knows that in many situations this gesture is basically a "secret signal."

Generally used to mean: time to flip over, boss.

Sometimes, being clean and not being clean is a bit Schrödinger's-cat.

It's like a toilet that's been scrubbed especially thoroughly, even disinfected — some people will feel the thing isn't dirty at all anymore.

But others will think, no matter how much you wash it, a toilet is still a toilet — it's dirty.

Luckily, Reba was the former.

Which was also one of the reasons Bai Liang had never had any objections to her high-standard hygiene inspections.

Although it was a bit troublesome, as long as he put in a little more thought, the Miss really didn't find fault with him anywhere, not a single psychological barrier.

"Don't be noisy."

Meng Jie, half-asleep and half-awake, complained in a voice neither too loud nor too soft.

But her voice, apart from making a certain "bad woman" she had in mind even more energized, served no other purpose.

Reba, who had only just sat down, suddenly patted Bai Liang's shoulder. "Big Bai, get up, carry me over there!"

"Go where?"

"To the bedroom, of course!"

Good lord!

Isn't this a plot from some kind of themed movie?

But in most of these themed films, the ones lying there "comatose" are always some male actors who look utterly spineless.

Hearing this unreasonable request, Bai Liang didn't put on any heroic, glorious, and righteous act at this moment.

But he still reminded her: "I've drunk quite a lot of alcohol today~"
