Chapter 24: Sis, the second half of your life depends on you

Lin Feng helped Guo Yanru into the car and waved to summon a designated driver.

After the car arrived at the underground parking lot of Jinhu Huayuan residential area, the driver took the money and left.

Guo Yanru felt the alcohol kick in and could no longer walk.

"Last time I carried you down, this time I have to carry you up—what a karmic cycle, retribution is swift..."

Lin Feng muttered as he carried Guo Yanru into the elevator.

Building 8, Unit 803.

Lin Feng opened the door and gently placed Guo Yanru on the sofa.

Guo Yanru's weight seems to have decreased quite a bit?

Soon Lin Feng realized it wasn't that Guo Yanru had lost weight, but that his strength had increased.

The training devised by Zhao Xiaoyang had increased his strength rapidly.

"Rest well! I'm leaving."

After covering Guo Yanru with a blanket, Lin Feng said that and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Guo Yanru sat up by turning over.

Lin Feng turned around, looking at the beautiful woman in surprise, "You're not drunk!?"

Guo Yanru smiled faintly and said: "I am drunk, but my mind is clear. Without this ability, I would have been plied with drink and taken to bed long ago."

After saying that, she stood up and went into the bathroom.

The sound of splashing water rang out.

Lin Feng sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

Several minutes later.

"Yah~"

A startled cry rang out.

Then came a bang.

"What happened!?"

Lin Feng immediately ran to the bathroom door, knocked, and asked.

Guo Yanru said: "I slipped and fell, my legs are numb, I can't get up."

Lin Feng moved his hand from the door handle: "Then... wait a moment, it'll be fine soon."

"Open the door! Help me up."

Guo Yanru's voice came again.

"Isn't that inappropriate?" Lin Feng frowned, looking embarrassed.

"I don't care, what's there for a man to be afraid of?"

"Okay!"

Lin Feng turned the handle and opened the door.

Such a request, he would not refuse.

Inside, steam filled the air, bringing a wave of shower gel fragrance.

Guo Yanru was sitting on the floor hugging her knees, the water from the showerhead pouring onto her head, causing part of her long hair to stick to her face.

Lin Feng merely glanced, then immediately reached out to turn off the shower and threw a towel over Guo Yanru.

After Guo Yanru rubbed her hair with the towel, she wrapped her body in it.

Only then did Lin Feng step forward, supporting her by the arms to help her up.

But just then, the towel suddenly slipped...

Lin Feng froze, his eyes wide open.

At that moment, for Lin Feng, time seemed to have stopped.

Guo Yanru showed no embarrassment, smiling: "Had enough? My leg still hurts, I dare not exert too much strength—help me put on clothes."

"Oh oh!"

Lin Feng came to his senses, somewhat awkwardly taking the lace-trimmed silk pajamas from the hook and putting them over Guo Yanru's head.

Guo Yanru spread her arms and pulled down, perfectly covering her body.

Lin Feng secretly took a deep breath and helped her sit on the living room sofa.

Guo Yanru's right knee was already red and swollen.

That fall just now was not light.

Under the coffee table lay a bottle of red flower oil, which Guo Yanru had bought as a regular medicine.

It shows she often drinks too much and falls frequently.

After applying the medicine, Guo Yanru pressed her legs together, hugged her knees, leaned against the sofa back, and smiled: "Thank you! If it weren't for your help today, I wouldn't know what to do."

Lin Feng didn't know which matter she was referring to.

Was it the incident at the restaurant, or just this fall?

"What do you think—are women who drink good women?"

Guo Yanru suddenly asked this strange question.

Lin Feng laughed and said: "It depends on the situation! If she usually has nothing to do or is out playing and gets dead drunk... such a woman is definitely not my ideal good woman. But you're different—you're doing it for work!"

"Yes! For work!"

Guo Yanru sighed, then added: "Tonight I messed up; tomorrow I'll have to hand in my resignation. But that's fine—I've had enough of this kind of life."

Lin Feng took out a cigarette and, with a gesture, asked Guo Yanru if she minded.

Guo Yanru made a gesture asking to be excused.

Lin Feng lit a cigarette, took a puff, then slowly exhaled the smoke: "A salary of several hundred thousand a year, just given up like that—don't you feel it's a waste?"

"One day it will happen to anyone; in our line of work, the body is our capital. If the higher-ups discover you're not in good health, they'll think about replacing you."

"Do you know what that woman surnamed Li today does? Actually, she was arranged by the higher-ups to take over my work."

"But she's too impatient, wanting to get rid of me quickly, and doesn't even want to learn from me—today's young people! They're getting more and more restless."

After saying that, Guo Yanru shook her head.

Lin Feng couldn't help laughing: "That woman surnamed Li, you say she's young!? I think she's older than you!"

Guo Yanru chuckled: "You misjudged—she's only twenty-two! By the way, you slapped her twice; watch out, she might sue you at the bureau."

Lin Feng shrugged, indifferent: "If she wants to sue, let her sue! Anyway, I can hire a lawyer. Besides, if she had any sense, she wouldn't do that."

"Oh?"

Guo Yanru first frowned, then quickly realized, nodding: "That's true! We're both in PR; for clients, that's a major taboo."

"Unless she doesn't want to stay in this line—back in the day, I also got slapped, and I still remember it vividly!"

"What work do you plan to do after quitting?" Lin Feng asked.

Guo Yanru gave Lin Feng a sideways glance: "You said before you'd support me—looks like men's mouths are lying devils, untrustworthy!"

Her alluring gaze left Lin Feng stunned.

Just now Guo Yanru was normal, then suddenly turned into a fairy, and Lin Feng could hardly bear it.

In his mind, the scene he had just seen in the bathroom suddenly surfaced.

You know his memory is extraordinarily strong.

His brain is like a memory card, able to clearly record what his eyes see.

This woman in her thirties has kept her skin and figure in great shape; her whole body is ripe.

Seeing Lin Feng's gaze fill with desire, Guo Yanru hurriedly said: "I studied financial management; I stumbled into this line by mistake. Looking back, I feel a bit regretful—I'll rest a month or two, then see if anyone wants me."

Lin Feng came to his senses, smiling: "In a couple months I'll help you find a job! If you don't want to work, I can really support you—little brother, I'm not short on money."

After saying that, Lin Feng took a puff of cigarette, tilted his head back and exhaled smoke, looking like a newly rich upstart.

Guo Yanru smiled faintly: "Then it's settled—I'll rely on you for the rest of my life, sis."

After saying that, she closed her eyes, slightly lifted her head, parted her vermilion lips, and said, "Come on!"

Damn it!

Lin Feng hurriedly stepped back, chuckling: "Sis, I was just joking! It's getting late, I have to go—call me if anything comes up, goodbye!"

After saying that, he opened the door and fled.

Seeing the closed door, Guo Yanru smiled faintly.

She was obviously just joking with Lin Feng.

Of course, if Lin Feng really lunged at her, she wouldn't know whether she'd dodge.

If she dodged, it would be awkward afterward.

If she didn't dodge, what would she do afterward?

Speaking of love, neither has reached that point.

More than anything, it's gratitude toward Lin Feng.

Moreover, Lin Feng doesn't annoy her at all; getting along is easy, giving her a sense of being understood and cared for.

He is completely unlike a young man in his twenties.

She sighed, took out a small mirror from her bag,

and said to her reflection, "Guo Yaojing, could you restrain yourself a bit?"

"Got it—I'm the older sister, he's the younger brother; I won't let my thoughts run wild."

"That's right! From now on, be good!"

Guo Yanru has no close female friends.

Because any woman who interacts with her ends up intensely jealous of her looks, demeanor, and methods.

When lonely, she likes to take out the mirror and say a few things to herself.

This is actually a habit she formed when she first entered the workplace.

Every morning after washing up, before heading out to work, she faces the mirror to encourage herself.

After stepping out, Lin Feng let out a long breath.

Phew! I almost couldn't hold back!

Just then, Guo Yanru's voice came from the room.

Lin Feng's hearing is extraordinarily sharp.

"I didn't expect her to have such a playful, cute side..."

Lin Feng shook his head, smiling to himself.

Just then, from next door 804 came the sounds of a man and woman fighting.

Lin Feng hurriedly slipped away.

Otherwise, pent-up lust with no outlet would harm the body.

Just as he entered the elevator, his phone rang.

Lin Feng hurriedly answered, laughing, "Hey! Auntie!"

It was Liang Shishi calling.

From the phone came Liang Shishi's lazy tone, "You haven't finished eating yet? It's already ten o'clock! Auntie's been waiting for you almost two hours."
