However, the person making the call was very persistent, repeatedly redialing until the call went through. Lin Taozi had no choice but to struggle free from the person's embrace and then answer the phone.
"Peach, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering the phone?" She redialed at least five times.
"Cough, I just fell asleep while watching TV, and the TV was on, so I didn't hear the phone ringing for a while." Lin Taozi's voice was a little hoarse, and she really did sound like she hadn't woken up yet. And the TV was indeed on, and it was quite loud, so Lin Xiazhu heard it too.
However, Lin Xiazhu still had doubts, "Are you home alone, or with friends?"
Lin Taozi's heart skipped a beat. She felt that her eldest sister seemed to know something. She tentatively asked, "Eldest sister, I've always lived alone. You and my second sister haven't come over. I don't bring any friends home at night."
Thinking of how obedient and well-behaved Lin Taozi always was, Lin Xiazhu felt that she might have been overthinking things. Seeing that it was getting late and she was also sleepy, she said softly, "Go to sleep early, don't always make do on the sofa."
"Okay, sis, I'm going to sleep now, bye-bye." Lin Taozi was covered in sweat after hanging up the phone.
Bai Junbai quickly leaned in and tried to kiss her again, but she pushed him away. "Take it easy. You're still in the mood for being affectionate? My older sister is already suspicious. We're doomed. I don't know what to do. What if she asks me about it next time we meet?"
"Then just tell the truth, what's there to be conflicted about?" Bai Junbai said dismissively. From the moment he decided to be with Lin Taozi, he was prepared for this day to come, and he wasn't going to back down.
"I can't tell them, they'll definitely curse me to death if they find out," Lin Taozi said with a mournful face, looking somewhat irritable with worry.
Bai Junbai's face darkened. "What do you mean? You think you can hide it? And do you think I'm that shameful? You should have been prepared when you decided to be with me, so why are you backing out now?"
"No, I didn't mean to back down. I just think I should wait a little longer. I'm afraid my older sister won't agree. Let me think of a way." Lin Taozi muttered to herself, biting her fingertip.
"Peach, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but I'm afraid you really can't think of a good solution. You should leave it to me to handle."
What should I do if I hand him over to her? Should I just run up to her and tell her I like her and want to marry her? I'm afraid she'll beat me to a pulp if I do that.
"No, don't do anything rash. Let me talk to her. My older sister loves me. Even if I do something wrong, she won't be too angry and will forgive me." Sigh, my older sister is so good to her, always afraid that she will be bullied or deceived. I never thought that she would deceive her older sister in the end.
"Peach, tell me what you did wrong. Are you suggesting you apologize to your older sister?" Bai Junbai sneered. Being with him was a mistake?
Lin Taozi was so worried and anxious that she didn't notice how ugly Bai Junbo's face looked until she looked up. Was he angry?
No, at a time like this, can't you stop being so stubborn? Tsk, how old is he and he still likes to act like a young master, she thought to herself, but Lin Taozi didn't show it on her face. She sighed inwardly, feeling like an old woman who had to coax her bad-tempered son all day long.
Seeing her ever-changing expression but remaining silent, Bai Junbai's face darkened even more. "Lin Taozi, what kind of expression is that? Do you think you're disgusted with me?"
He knew all of this.
However, you absolutely cannot admit, "No, I just have a headache. Ugh, I'm so sleepy, I should go to sleep early and leave everything for tomorrow."
"How can you sleep like this?" Bai Junbai asked, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Yes, you should go to sleep early too." Bai Junbai comes to her place every few days, so she left a guest room for him, which contains his change of clothes and personal items and is usually locked.
Fortunately, her three older sisters all have houses in the capital, so they don't need to stay overnight at her place. She also doesn't have any close friends and never brings friends back to stay, so so far no one has noticed the increasing number of men's belongings in that guest room.
"Have something to drink before you sleep. I'm not sleepy. You can sit with me for a while longer." He either asks for her opinion or insists that she stay with him.
Knowing she couldn't refuse him, Lin Taozi took out a bottle of red wine and two stemmed glasses from the wine cabinet. This bottle of 1982 red wine was brought over by Bai Junbai, and she would occasionally take a small sip.
In the past, they would only drink a little before going back to their respective rooms to sleep. But this time, Bai Junbai poured her half a glass, and then refilled it after she finished drinking it.
Lin Taozi: "..." Is he trying to get her drunk?
"I can't drink that much, I'll get drunk." Lin Taozi's two delicate eyebrows furrowed into two worms. She couldn't drink it all back now that it was already gone, and it would be a waste not to drink it. So she decided to gulp it down and go back to her room to sleep to avoid embarrassing herself when the alcohol took effect.
Seeing that she said she couldn't drink, but then downed it in one gulp the next second, Bai Junbai raised an eyebrow, finished his own drink, and then got up first to go back to his room to shower and sleep.
That night, probably because he had drunk too much, Bai Junbai was extremely thirsty. He got up and went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of warm water. After drinking the water, he poured another glass to take to his room.
"What are you holding? Bring it over here and let me drink it. I'm so thirsty, I'm dying of thirst." The living room lights were off, so he followed the light from the room and only realized that Lin Taozi was sitting on the living room sofa when he heard her voice.
The woman had long, disheveled hair, flushed cheeks, and was clutching a pillow in her arms. She was muttering to herself with her head down, as if she were sleepwalking. Bai Junbai quickly turned on the light, and she looked up and grinned at him.
"Why are you up? Here, have some water." Bai Junbai put his arm around her and put the cup to her lips so she could drink.
"Glug glug" Lin Taozi drank all the water in the cup in one go. "More, I'm still thirsty. I want to drink a lot, a lot. Pour some more, drink some more."
She was clearly quite drunk, and was talking nonsense. I didn't expect her to have such a low alcohol tolerance and such poor manners when drunk.
Bai Junbai put the cup on the table and was about to carry Lin Taozi back to her room when a slender hand suddenly reached out and pinched his chin. Then her small face came closer, revealing a wicked smile.
"Beauty, such beauty, truly captivating! Hmm, you do look a bit old, but it doesn't matter. I adore you. Tonight, I will choose you. Come, come, let me have my way with you." He laughed heartily, slapping the seat next to the sofa, gesturing for Bai Junbai to sit down.
"I'm sharing my dragon throne with a beauty, so smile at me and come here. I want to have my way with you." Lin Taozi was very unhappy that he didn't come over and was still looking at her with a cold face. She reached out and pulled him, grabbing him and forcibly pressing him down onto the sofa.
"Lin Taozi, have you thought this through? Don't wake up tomorrow crying. You brought this on yourself." Bai Junbai gritted his teeth. He had been holding back for a long time. In the past forty years, he had never been so patient with anyone, waiting for her to slowly accept him.
Although she had been drinking today, and his actions might have been taking advantage of her vulnerability, she had no choice but to provoke him.
