After settling Yu Nian, the drunkard, down, it was already past midnight.
Looking at himself covered in vomit, Song Ci rubbed his throbbing temples and rushed into the bathroom to clean himself up.
Thirty minutes later, when she was sure that she only smelled of shower gel, Song Ci slowly walked out of the bathroom.
At three in the morning, Song Ci was indeed a little tired after a busy day and being tormented by Yu Nian for so long, but he was not in a hurry to rest.
He first went to the master bedroom to check on Yu Nian, who was already asleep. After confirming that she was not feeling unwell from being drunk, he covered her with the blanket again and then quietly left.
He then went to the living room, drank a glass of water, and prepared to go back to the guest room to sleep. Just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a black gift bag on the sofa, next to Yu Nian's car keys.
A birthday present? Let's open it. Seeing this gift, Song Ci's drowsiness subsided considerably. He sat down and carefully unwrapped this birthday present that had piqued his curiosity.
A mermaid necklace? A seashell bracelet? Why are they a pair? Which one is his?
A series of questions popped into Song Ci's mind until he saw the English letters on the back of the box—Lover—and then he suddenly realized what was going on.
Couple's set? She bought a couple's set? Wow, she's pretty savvy.
With a silly grin, Song Ci took away his share of the men's necklace, leaving the women's bracelet gleaming on the table in the center of the living room.
When Yu Nian woke up on Young Master Song's two-meter-wide bed, it was already noon.
To be precise, she was woken up by fright.
Who would have thought that you'd wake up, and in the blink of an eye, you'd turn over and find that the pillow you were hugging wasn't a pillow, and the pillow you were sleeping on wasn't yours either? Everything was the same old black-hearted man.
The entire bed is a luxurious black, the kind of bed the male protagonist in novels own, from head to foot. What does this have to do with her blue ocean-themed double bed?
Realizing something was wrong, Yu Nian jumped out of bed in fright. After a long while, she calmed down after confirming that she was still wearing her own clothes and smelled of alcohol.
Song Ci brought me home last night!
What a scheming man!!!
Yu Nian tiptoed around the room, glancing at the familiar list of names and clothes, then at the pile of Song Ci posters in the corner, thinking: So he's letting her sleep in his room? Dude, you're a pretty nice guy, hehehehehehe.
She turned around and picked up her phone, which was already fully charged, from the bedside table. The bright 3:00 PM on the screen reminded her that the entire day was almost over.
Oh no, I'm supposed to be at the Song family's birthday party tonight.
So she hurriedly went into the bathroom to tidy herself up, and only after making sure she was properly dressed did she open the door and go out.
She thought she would run into Song Ci as soon as she left the room, but after she had explored the entire apartment, she still hadn't found a single person.
Except for the glaringly bright bracelet on the table.
How utterly shameful! How could I give him the bracelet I bought for myself? And it's clearly a women's piece of jewelry, a couple's set! Well, that's great, I've already dug three castles out of my toes.
My dearest softie will never have to worry about not having a castle to live in again.
If you had to describe Yu Nian's current feelings in two words, it would be "awkward." If you had to describe them in four words, it would be "utterly ashamed."
This place is not safe to stay any longer. She didn't have the courage to face Song Ci in such an awkward situation. If she couldn't afford to offend him, couldn't she at least avoid him?
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Just as she walked to the door with the bag and opened it, Song Ci returned.
And just in time, I was standing right at the doorway.
Awkward, helpless, panicked, and awkward, Song Ci saw Yu Nian's face with a mixture of emotions before she even opened the food she bought.
"Awake?" Compared to Yu Nian, Song Ci was much calmer.
He entered the room naturally, then took Yu Nian's hand and, without giving her any chance to escape, pulled her directly to the dining table.
"Finish eating and pack up before you leave. I've also prepared your dress; shall we go together later?" After saying that, Song Ci brought the porridge she had bought to Yu Nian.
"I just bought it, it's very fresh. Drink it while it's hot, it'll be better for your stomach. After you finish the porridge, drink the hangover soup."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Song Ci acted as if nothing had happened, Yu Nian had no choice but to pretend she didn't remember anything. She obediently drank her porridge.
Yu Nian was in a great mood after eating and drinking her fill. These days, she could see how good Song Ci was. She stared at the neatly arranged dresses and cosmetics in the distance, as well as the hangover soup he had cooked for her beforehand. And last night, even though she was drunk, she could subconsciously feel that someone was taking good care of her. Even though she had vomited on him, he hadn't shown the slightest impatience towards her.
This was something she had never experienced with Luo Sheng before.
Song Ci was so good that she was a little overwhelmed.
Yu Nian was still lost in thought, completely unaware that the bracelet she had casually placed on the table had quietly disappeared.
The party starts at seven o'clock, and it's almost a forty-minute drive from the city center. The birthday celebrant is still here, and she can't let him be late.
So Yu Nian seized the time, hurriedly used Song Ci's bathroom to do a delicate makeup, then changed into the dress he sent, and waited in the living room for Song Ci, who had not yet come out of the room.
It was five o'clock, and Song Ci still hadn't come out. Yu Nian hesitated whether to go in and urge him.
Just as she was about to reach the door, Song Ci finally appeared.
She glanced at Song Ci, who was also dressed up meticulously.
A white suit? OMG, that's a color clash! She's wearing white today too. Could they have bought matching sets for each other?
Yes, it is indeed a couple's item, but what catches the eye the most is the mermaid necklace hanging around the man's neck.
