Chapter 60: Turbulent Waves

The single sentence "I slept with him" dropped a bombshell into the heart of Zhou Xiaoru!

She thought her ears had misheard, so she dug at them forcefully with her fingers and asked again in her typical chuunibyou fashion.

"You... you say that again?"

Jiang Bufan was like a deflated ball; hearing this question, she let out a helpless sigh.

With panda eyes, she turned her head mechanically to look at the person whose ears were already pressed close to her.

She had no choice but to lean toward those ears and say it once more, "I said, I slept with Su Poyang last night..."

At this, the now-fully-informed Zhou Xiaoru suddenly patted her chest, which had just been half-blown away by the shock.

She muttered, "That's okay, that's okay, it was just sleeping for one night."

Hearing this, Jiang Bufan suddenly widened her eyes, looking as if she couldn't believe her own ears.

Was this the reaction and the words a normal friend should have!

Before she could even ask if she had also been pinned down by that guy Gu Liyan last night, she heard the young Miss Zhou beside her muttering to herself in a state of self-hypnosis and self-comfort.

"It was just sleeping together, nothing else happened, it's no big deal, we didn't lose out..."

Hearing this second half, Jiang Bufan finally understood why her chuunibyou friend could still have the "that's okay" mindset after hearing her say she had slept with another man.

She was so angry that not only did her head ache, but her liver ached along with it.

She slapped the head of the person still busy with self-hypnosis!

She said with some ferocity, "Are you brainless! In this world, where is there a man and a woman alone in a room who just cover themselves with a quilt and purely sleep!"

In Jiang Bufan's dictionary, a relationship between the opposite sex that involves covering with a quilt and purely chatting simply does not exist!

At this, Zhou Xiaoru finally didn't have to harbor any more wishful thinking.

She asked nervously, "You... you mean that kind of sleeping?!"

After saying this, she even used her hands to gesture.

At this moment, Jiang Bufan was completely speechless; what on earth was this gesture!

It was enough to make her die of anger; it was bad enough that she had a one-night stand with a man she wasn't familiar with, but this airheaded friend of hers had actually used two fingers to gesture out their one-night stand!

She really was a divine being!

She said irritably, "Yes, yes, yes, it is that kind of sleeping!"

Hearing her answer this way, Zhou Xiaoru hurriedly looked the person beside her up and down.

"Then how are you, is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable, do you want to go to the hospital to get checked out?"

As soon as she finished, another slap landed directly on her head, hitting her so hard she almost fainted on the spot.

Jiang Bufan was already gnashing her teeth in hatred and could no longer endure it; where on earth did she find such an airheaded friend?

"I didn't get into a car accident, why would I go to a hospital? Do you have any common sense!"

Zhou Xiaoru was still very uneasy, looking Jiang Bufan up and down incessantly.

Aside from her complexion being a bit poor, she couldn't seem to see anything else.

"If there is any place you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don't hold it in."

Jiang Bufan replied gloomily, "I know."

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Don't tell Xiao Lan and the others about this."

A one-night stand caused by alcohol was shameful to talk about; to think that her virginity, which she had cherished for over twenty years, had been ruined by that pot...

Sigh...

She wanted to cry now, but she had no tears; it was truly more uncomfortable than death.

Zhou Xiaoru immediately promised, "I know this, don't worry, this matter is known only to you and me!"

"Wrong! There is one more person..."

Zhou Xiaoru immediately became alert, "Who!!"

Jiang Bufan shook her head and sighed helplessly again; this person's IQ was always so worrying.

"Of course it's the other person involved in this matter!"

Oh right! There was still that pot! Zhou Xiaoru slapped her own pig-brain!

How could she have forgotten that big pig's trotter!

She scrambled up from the ground, rubbing her fists and wiping her palms, her face full of murderous intent.

Jiang Bufan, still sitting on the ground, raised her head and squinted at the person who looked ready to take off at any moment.

"What are you doing!"

Zhou Xiaoru squeezed her hands, barely managing to make a few cracking sounds with her knuckles.

She stared with a serious face at a group of people playing basketball on the playground in the distance.

She said coldly, "I'm going to go silence him right now!"

Hearing her say this, Jiang Bufan hurriedly scrambled up from the ground.

"Silence who! Do you want everyone to know about this!"

"What do you mean everyone to know! Are we just going to let it go like this?"

"If we don't let it go, what else can we do? Do you want him to take responsibility for me!"

She would rather go to Emei Mountain to become a nun than have any emotional entanglement with such a playboy!

"No! This matter started because of me, I must make Su Poyang give you an explanation!"

If it weren't for trying to vent her anger, there wouldn't have been so many subsequent troubles.

Even she herself had been confused into signing a two-year indentured contract with Teng Yuan!

These cousins were simply people who would eat you without spitting out the bones!

Jiang Bufan grabbed the person who had made up her mind to go settle the score with Su Poyang.

"Zhou Xiaoru! I absolutely do not blame you for this matter; it's my own fault for getting so high on alcohol."

Sigh... nothing said now can bring back her first time.

Zhou Xiaoru still wouldn't give up; how could she let that man surnamed Su off so easily!

"But..."

"There are no 'buts,' Zhou Xiaoru. I have my own responsibility in this matter, and I don't want to pursue it too much. Besides, for someone like Su Poyang, what kind of explanation can you expect him to give? A young master like him changes women more frequently than he changes sanitary pads. Can I still expect him to marry me in the future!"

(Author's side theater: Jiang Bufan, don't worry, you are not wrong. He will marry you, not now, but later on. Don't be impatient!)

These words left Zhou Xiaoru speechless...

She had always known about Jiang Bufan's rationality, but she never expected her to be so rational that she completely lost her humanity!

If any other girl encountered such a thing, she would either be crying to the heavens or pestering the man endlessly.

But our Miss Jiang not only analyzed everything rationally, she even generously tipped the man she spent the night with!

She is simply a peerless heroine the likes of which this world has never seen!

As for herself, her messy accounts with Tengyuan had yet to be settled.

And now, this incident with Jiang Bufan...

Zhou Xiaoru felt like someone had cast a curse on her recently!

Not only was she having bad luck, but the friends around her were suffering along with her.

And regarding this matter, under Jiang Bufan's repeated persuasion, she had no choice but to swallow her anger for the time being!

But last night, she had clearly asked Su Poyang to take care of Jiang Bufan, so how did they end up sleeping together!

Although she desperately wanted to confront Su Poyang about this question in person, she thought better of it, not wanting to make the situation unmanageable.

She had no choice but to go ask Gu Liyan now.

While this one-night stand was being handled by Jiang Bufan choosing to simply ignore it, in a hotel on the other side...

Su Poyang slept until the afternoon of that day, not even going to work.

And the one who woke him up wasn't himself, but the hotel room service staff.

Because Gu Liyan, who had already gone to work, had called him many times after returning to the company, but no one ever answered.

By this time, Shen Andong had long since gone to work at the hospital, and he couldn't get through to Zhou Xiaoru or Jiang Bufan's phones either.

He had no choice but to call the hotel front desk and ask someone to go check the room they had booked last night.

Upon checking, the handsome Su was still lying there like a corpse, stark naked.

When he woke up bleary-eyed and saw the time was already past two in the afternoon, he was so shocked he nearly jumped off the bed!

He rushed into the bathroom and took a quick shower.

With no other clothes to change into, he had to pick up yesterday's clothes and put them back on.

Likewise, those clothes didn't just smell of barbecue and alcohol, but also... the smell of vomit.

In short, it was beyond words!

At this moment, the room lights were all on. When he lifted the white quilt to look for his other sock, he didn't find the sock, but was stunned in place by a stain on the bed!

He saw a patch of dried, bright red blood on the white bedsheet!

Our guy was completely dumbfounded, his brain rapidly recalling the events of last night!

He looked at where he was; this room was not the one he had opened that afternoon!

It was one of the two rooms Shen Andong had re-opened later for Jiang Bufan and Zhou Xiaoru to rest in!

He remembered that after he brought Jiang Bufan back and confirmed she was asleep, he went to the fourth floor to drink with Shen Andong.

After that, he had drunk a bit too much, and Shen Andong had sent him back.

How could Shen Andong have sent him to Jiang Bufan's room?!

Just like Jiang Bufan who woke up that morning, his fragmented memories at this moment were like a skipping CD, playing intermittently!

But no matter how he couldn't remember what happened after entering the room, the blood on the bed was enough to explain everything!

Also, at this moment, his slightly sore lower back was also explaining everything!

Su Poyang had one very important principle when it came to dating girlfriends, including sleeping with women!

He would absolutely never touch a virgin!

Having roamed the romantic scene for over a decade, he had never stumbled because of any woman, all because he had always adhered to this important principle!

Play is play, but he wouldn't touch a woman without any emotional foundation.

Feeling somewhat flustered, when he got dressed and went to grab his phone from the nightstand, he discovered two hundred-yuan bills pressed under it!

He picked up those two red notes, feeling somewhat confused.

What was the meaning of this!

Unable to figure it out for a moment, he hurriedly left the room that felt like a Spider Cave to him.

He would truly never forget this birthday!

As soon as he left the hotel, he immediately called Gu Liyan first.

He probably asked about when he had left that morning, whether he had seen when Jiang Bufan left, and similar questions.

Then he made another call to Shen Andong.

At this moment, Shen Andong, who was organizing patient files, answered the phone.

"Hello."

On the other end of the line, a barrage of questioning came crashing down instantly!

"Shen Andong! Why did you send me to Jiang Bufan's room last night! Why didn't you send me back to the third floor!"

Shen Andong was a bit baffled at first and asked.

"Who is Jiang Bufan?"

A roar came from the other end of the phone again!

"What do you mean who is Jiang Bufan! It's just last night..."

Su was so angry that she almost blurted out what happened last night.

"It's just last night, the girl you sent me back to the room with."

Shen Andong felt a bit depressed; the movement of his hand flipping through documents paused, and he asked in return.

"That student girl, isn't she your new girlfriend?"

Knowing that Zhou Xiaoru was the little girlfriend Gu Liyan was currently keeping a close eye on, he thought the other one was Su Poyang's new girlfriend.

So last night after they finished drinking, while he still had consciousness, he naturally sent him to that student girl's room.

And at this moment, the handsome Su on the other end of the phone almost cursed out loud upon hearing this!

Feeling somewhat irritable, he replied, "Alright, alright, enough! That's it, hanging up!"

Shen Andong stared at the phone emitting a busy signal, looking even more bewildered.

He wondered why this guy seemed like he had eaten a firecracker; it was rare to see him so impatient.

He couldn't help but be curious about what exactly had happened last night...
