Chapter 24 Chapter 24 New Year丨Renewal?

Quan Xingai felt that she had not slept for several hours. When she woke up, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the weather was gloomy. The man's arm was still around her waist. When she turned around, she saw that the guy's angelic sleeping face was full of sweet dreams, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth. He did this several times that night, but Quan Xingai felt as if her whole body had been run over.

Who would have thought that the box of family planning products that came with two boxes of ecstasy sticks bought from the supermarket would be used so soon... Last night, when this guy saw himself taking out a box of Durex from the garbage bag, the dragon's expression was very interesting.

After lying there for a while, she let go of his hand in annoyance, sat up and was dazed for a while, and the "wonderful" memories that followed came to her mind. Then she covered her face - ah, lust, alcohol is harmful, she just wanted Zhilong to be happy, but ended up going to bed.

A thousand regrets flooded her heart. She carefully got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She looked at her pale face in the mirror and saw two big dark circles under her eyes. She felt dizzy. She opened her phone and saw that her teammates were talking a lot in the group chat.

[Oh Mo, Dispatch is opening the New Year with couples today]

[No way, could it be our Yeonjin and the male model?]

Come on, you overestimated me.

[kkk curious about who it is, so accidentally exposed by D agency]

[Yesterday's forum gossip had already speculated that he was a superstar]

[Oh my, a superstar! Is it GD senior? ]

[Huh? Who is GD with? It can’t be Xing Ai…]

All the stars were frowning. Was D-Entertainment going to expose Kwon Ji-yong? She opened the news app, and the first thing that popped up was a D-Entertainment report: Kwon Ji-yong and his junior were dating at the same company...

Quan Xingai chuckled, glanced at the news, then turned off her phone and tossed it aside. But then she felt something was wrong, so she reopened it and looked again. Strangely, there wasn't even a photo, so it couldn't be true?

But no matter what... This time it was entirely her fault. She didn't understand the situation clearly, didn't ask about the other person's emotional state. Now it's okay, right? I got into trouble, didn't I? She chuckled softly and shook her head. Why couldn't she control herself? Why...

Warm hot water poured over her body, and Quan Xingai didn't figure out what to do until she finished showering. When she came out wrapped in her home clothes, the sleeping man had already woken up. When he saw Quan Xingai, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then guilt.

"I'm sorry, were you okay last night?" Kwon Ji-yong spoke softly with messy hair and stubble.

"I feel uncomfortable...Senior, you should improve your skills..." Quan Xingai said unhappily.

Quan Zhilong, who was originally quite embarrassed, widened his eyes: "Mo? What? It wasn't because of you at the beginning last night... Hey, I... It's my fault." He wanted to refute, but thinking about the situation last night, he decided to give in to her.

Quan Xingai took a box of milk from the refrigerator and started drinking it, then threw one box to Quan Zhilong. She remembered that this guy wanted to drink chocolate milk as soon as he woke up, and wondered if he had changed the habit now.

"Let's talk." Kwon Ji-yong was a little annoyed with his current appearance. He drank too much and was too impulsive last night. This shouldn't have happened, but looking at Jeon Xingai's calm expression, he couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"Senior, before we talk, you should check your phone first. I think you have a lot of things to deal with." Quan Xingai threw the empty milk carton into the trash can and threw the phone he had forgotten on the sofa to Quan Zhilong.

"What? What happened? Were we photographed by paparazzi?" Kwon Ji-yong asked in confusion. The most annoying thing for both of them was being photographed by paparazzi entering the apartment, but as long as it wasn't from D agency, he could spend money to buy back the photos.

"I have a very important question. Were you single last night?" Quan Xingai asked the confused Quan Zhilong seriously and solemnly.

"Mo, what do you think of me? Of course I'm single. Do you think I would sleep with anyone casually?" Quan Zhilong was a little angry.

Quan Xingai raised an eyebrow and looked at his expression. Well, it should be the truth. He was so angry that his eyebrows were raised.

"Then you should check your phone, senior." Quan Xingai thoughtfully left the bedroom space for him. She had to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. She was so hungry.

While the toaster and coffee machine were still toiling away, Jeon Seong-ae leaned against the countertop and overheard Kwon Ji-yong angrily making a phone call from the bedroom. She let herself go, lost in thought. She didn't seem surprised that something like this had happened to Kwon Ji-yong. The spread of gossip is often part of marketing, and the person involved might be the last to learn about it.

She saw the same tiredness in Quan Zhilong that she had experienced in her previous life.

"Would you like some coffee?" Seeing Kwon Ji-yong coming out barefoot wearing one of her nightgown, with a look of anger on his face, Quan Xingai poured him a cup of coffee and asked him.

"I, I'm single. The news from D Agency is... never mind. Anyway, it's not true." Quan Zhilong brushed his hair. Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang again. He looked at Quan Xingai, then at his phone and picked it up. "Brother Lao Hu, yes, come over. I'm fine. I'll go straight to the company later."

"The clothes are in the dryer." Quan Xingai said while chewing on bread.

"You, why do you look so indifferent?" Quan Zhilong didn't understand, but a hint of anger rose. Did she not care about him at all? They had been so compatible last night.

"Senior, we are just strangers in essence. Although we had sex, it was just an impulse. You can pretend that nothing happened." Quan Xingai thought about it again and again and felt that this was probably the best solution. Just pretend that nothing happened and let it go on as it should.

The anger in Quan Zhilong's heart turned into a rising flame. He stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand. "We are just strangers? We hugged at the party last night, I took you home, walked upstairs with you, and then we slept on the sofa...you said we are just strangers?"

"Okay, we're all adults, just be honest. Do you want a piece of toast? We don't have anything else at home, just this."

"You, I thought we would sit down and talk about love issues today." Quan Zhilong's face was complicated. He seemed lucky to meet such a free and easy woman, but when he saw the other party's indifferent expression, he seemed very unwilling.

Mingming... Mingming woke up with a feeling of happiness. In fact, he had woken up in the middle of the night and saw the girl hugging him obediently, and he felt a long-lost sense of peace in his heart. Why did he wake up in the morning and she said nonchalantly that they were all adults, as if nothing had happened.

Is this what young people think these days? He’s young too! Damn!

"Love? Senior, that's impossible between us." Quan Xingai smiled and shook her head. Last night was already a mistake, and she could no longer hide her past habits if she fell in love.

"Then what happened last night? You...what do you think of me? Or are you worried about the report from Agency D?" Kwon Ji-yong was a little annoyed, but he didn't know what he was angry about. It was obvious that he didn't like her to the point of falling in love. At best, it was just a vague liking for her.

"Be...a bed partner?" Quan Xingai's aura inexplicably weakened when he saw the other person's fiery eyes and the last two words.

"You..." Quan Zhilong took a deep breath. He was furious again. This girl, ah, really is a witch, a complete witch. He took a deep breath, "Bed partner? You, you were just a novice last night, how can you be qualified to talk about bed partner!"

Quan Xingai opened her eyes wide, unconvinced, "Mo? That was last night, and today you're just a veteran. Skills are all about talent, not qualifications. Besides, the seniors' skills aren't that great either."

"Ha, my technique is not good? Who was begging for mercy last night? Huh? Who fainted? Huh?" Kwon Ji-yong held Jeon Xingai's arm and pulled her closer.

"Ha, I was just pretending..." Quan Xingai, who refused to admit defeat, turned her head away while still being stubborn. However, just as she turned her head away, a big hand supported her head and pulled her over. The familiar breath covered her again.

"Then let's see who surrenders first." Quan Xingai felt her lips were bitten. Quan Zhilong was indeed born in the year of the dog.

"Sei is afraid of sei, let's see who can subdue the other first." Quan Xingai untied the belt of the other's pajamas. Once untied, Xiao Gou Zhilong's body was wide open, and everything was exposed. The two were obviously doing the most intimate thing, but they stared at each other without blinking, as if whoever looked away first would lose. However, each other's sensitive areas were controlled by the other, and the increasingly disordered breathing of the two had betrayed themselves.

If last night was a drunken misdeed, then today was a day of sobriety and indulgence. Quan Xingai and Quan Zhilong were both unwilling to admit defeat and stared at each other like fighting cocks. But in the blink of an eye, the two were hugging each other, their lips pressed against each other's ears. They looked as intimate as a couple, but they were actually fighting with each other.

"Ha, is this all you have?"

"You really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River—"

"…Is it too late for me to admit my mistake now?"

"Haha, it's too late, kiddo."

“…”

(Brother, we were just hugging and bickering! We didn’t write anything, sir!)

Cui Jae-ho waited for the boss downstairs for a long time before he saw Kwon Ji-yong coming out of the apartment building. He looked dressed the same as last night. After getting in the car, he found that the boss's lips seemed to be broken. When he opened his coat, he found that the T-shirt he was wearing underneath was still a women's style.

"Brother, go back home first."

"Are you in love?" Brother Lao Hu has been doing security work beside Zhilong for many years and has long treated Zhilong like his own child. He asked with a smile since they stayed over last night and he was wearing a women's T-shirt today.

"Love? Huh... don't mention it..." Quan Zhilong's face was dark. The two of them fought from the kitchen to the sofa, and finally back to the bedroom, but even though the other party looked like he was about to faint, he stubbornly said that he was just looking for happiness.

Ah, this guy... Nothing good happened on the first day of 2020.

After returning home, taking a shower, changing clothes, and going to the company, it was already evening. Yang Xianshuo was there. Quan Zhilong suppressed his anger and walked into President Yang's office.

"Brother, what's the matter with the scandal? I said before that I don't want to cooperate with this kind of thing." Kwon Ji-yong looked a little tired, with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

"Wasn't that reported by Agency D without authorization?" Yang Xianshuo played dumb and didn't directly deny or admit it.

Quan Zhilong really dislikes this point about President Yang, who likes to use friendship to control the interests of the company. He does have feelings for Wai Ji, but after he has clearly refused her so many times, she still spreads such news regardless of her personal wishes. He feels extremely disappointed.

"..." He looked at President Yang's face and felt that it was useless to say anything. His former family had changed a long time ago, and his former teammates were no longer the same people. They all had their own lives and pursuits. Wasn't it stupid for him to stay where he was?

After leaving Yang Xianshuo's office, he returned to his production room and sat in a chair in a daze. The speakers were playing songs from the past. They were brilliant achievements and unforgettable memories. He flipped through his phone and saw that everyone on the forum was speculating about his feelings. He sneered and wanted to post a swear word on his social media without caring about the consequences, but in the end he did not do anything impulsive.

Then he saw the message President Wen Enzhu had sent him before -

[Zhilong, Neon is absolutely sincere in collaborating with you. We're open to discussing any model. You don't need to participate in the production of songs for other groups in the company. You can set up a separate work team dedicated to you. Waiji may have been your home in the past, but the ship is indeed in turmoil now. From what I know about President Yang, he won't care too much about past friendships. It won't be easy for you to completely break away from him, but I can help you with these.]

He was somewhat tempted, and this time he really began to consider Wen Enzhu's olive branch.

Quan Xingai was at home regretting and thinking to himself that this guy's skills seemed to have improved a lot over the years, and he was starting to go for a gentle route. As for the bed...ah, bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about? Quan Xingai, you're just a little idol, you've earned enough for retirement, and you've already thought of all kinds of messed up things.

She took a nap and woke up when it was already night. She looked in the refrigerator and found that there was no food. She simply changed her clothes and went to the supermarket she usually went to. She was wandering around and accidentally wandered in front of the promotional hi-bar. She turned her head away and changed direction. When she wandered here again on the second round, Quan Xingai decisively took two more boxes of wine home.

The waiter kindly put the gifts in the shopping bag, and Quan Xingai took the wine home as if nothing had happened. Don't think too much, she just loves to drink, really...
