Chapter 89 White Dew...
Xiao Wei was also waiting for Xiao Cheng.
Hearing the door open, she came out and saw her older brother suddenly rush towards Bai Lu and hug her.
I carried him and pushed him backward the whole way.
This didn't seem like something a child like him should see, so he closed his eyes and silently walked out, hugging the wall.
After picking up the coat, I closed and locked the gate.
Go back to your room, close the door, and go to sleep.
As for the other side...
Bai Lu's face was burning and red because Xiao Cheng's face was very close to hers, almost touching her nose.
The warm breath from his lips hit her face, the smell of alcohol mixed with tobacco, making her heart race.
My heart was pounding like a drum, but he was holding me down, my hands and feet were restrained, and I couldn't even turn around.
Xiao Cheng's eyes were no longer the boundless, dark abyss they usually were; instead, they were shimmering with crimson, and flames seemed to be surging within them, making him extremely dangerous.
He just stared at her like that, motionless and unblinking, for a long time, making her feel flustered and uneasy.
Bai Lu swallowed hard, blinked, and asked with a hint of nervousness, "Where did you go today?"
"Outside."
Xiao Cheng only answered with two words, his eyes fixed on Bai Lu's lips, as if waiting for her to say something.
Bai Lu tried to move her hand, but couldn't. Tears welled in her eyes: "What happened? You brought chestnuts back but didn't come home. I cooked so much delicious food, including your favorite spicy chicken... Xiao Wei and I couldn't finish it all..."
Today is Luo Shiliu's birthday.
After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he placed a kiss on Bai Lu's forehead, whether as compensation for his explanation or as a drunken whim, it was unclear.
Bai Lu felt a piece of ice fall onto her forehead, which then turned into a fire, making her head buzz.
His hand recoiled again, but the difference in strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree; it had no effect whatsoever, and the hand only tightened its grip.
The faint smell of alcohol, which had just begun to rise, returned to her face, along with...
That dangerous gaze.
Bai Lu's heart was pounding, and she tried her best to keep her face steady and her voice calm: "So, you went out to eat and drink with Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang?"
Xiao Cheng seemed not to have received the words he wanted to hear. His brows furrowed slightly, his thin lips pursed, and his drunken eyes turned even redder.
He tightened his grip on Bai Lu's hand and replied in a deep voice, "And Wang Hao, Zhang San, and Li Si."
"oh……"
Bai Lu was very nervous, but when she heard the names Zhang San and Li Si, she couldn't help but laugh.
Fearing that the drunken big shot might become inexplicably unhappy, he bit his lip, trying his best not to laugh out loud.
My shoulders just trembled a couple of times because I couldn't control them.
"What are you laughing at?"
As expected, the big boss was displeased. His handsome face turned cold, and the dangerous crimson in his eyes deepened.
Bai Lu immediately shut her mouth, shook her head, and tried to make eye contact with him, but I didn't laugh.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Cheng, who had drunk a little and was slightly drunk, couldn't meet her gaze and couldn't communicate with her.
He could only call her by her name: "Bai Lu..."
"Hmm?" Bai Lu stared at him intently.
He stopped talking again.
He stared straight at her, clearly wanting to say something, but hesitated to speak, as if waiting for her to speak first.
We breathed and moved through the cramped space, it grew hotter and hotter, and the air became thinner and thinner.
The distance between their noses getting closer and closer.
Bai Lu had no choice but to rack her brains for a topic, trying to figure out what the big shot really wanted to hear. She thought for a long time.
A brilliant idea flashed into my mind.
"Did anything happen on your way to Xiaojia Village to exchange chestnuts today? You must be tired after driving for so long. How about I get up and give you a back massage?"
Xiao Cheng stared at her without speaking, his eyes growing even redder, and a dangerous aura began to emanate from him.
The answer is clearly incorrect.
Bai Lu subconsciously tried to pull her feet back, but the boss's legs were holding her even tighter than her hands, leaving her completely unable to move.
All I could do was rack my brains and keep thinking: "Um, did you drink a lot outside and not eat enough? I left you some food, do you want me to heat it up?"
Xiao Cheng frowned and shook his head, seemingly impatient. He stared at her for a long time before finally speaking.
"Why did he come to see you?"
"who?"
Bai Lu looked bewildered, not keeping up with his thoughts that suddenly jumped to outer space without warning.
Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth, his face remaining completely expressionless, and his tone was nonchalant.
"The one surnamed Lin."
Bai Lu racked her brains and finally found that the original owner knew only one person with the surname Lin, Lin Jinfan.
Oh... so he saw what happened this afternoon.
Bai Lu found it somewhat amusing, but dared not laugh, though she felt a sense of relief.
Lin Jinfan gave me a few books.
"What book?" Xiao Cheng asked.
Bai Lu's eyes darted to the right, her gaze landing on the table by the window. She coaxed gently, "It's in the rightmost drawer of that table. Do you want to take a look?"
Although Xiao Cheng was under the influence of alcohol, his eyes remained fixed on Bai Lu and never left her, clearly indicating that he was not fooled.
"What book?" he continued to ask.
Bai Lu could only answer truthfully: "High school senior year books."
Xiao Cheng's face darkened, his eyes surged to a blood-red climax, like an enraged dragon with bloodshot pupils and heavy breathing. He abruptly released her hands.
Released from restraint, he got up and walked outside.
He reeked of alcohol, clearly having drunk quite a bit. Bai Lu was a little worried and got up to follow him out.
"Where are you going so late?"
Xiao Cheng didn't answer, nor did he walk out. Instead, he turned and went into the kitchen, then into the bathroom behind the partition wall.
There was a water tank, a bucket, and towels hanging in the bathroom, but he went in without taking anything with him.
And he didn't forget to close the door.
Then came the sound of rushing water.
