He spoke with tears streaming down his face, leaving Tu Ling, who had just stood up for Su Ping, somewhat speechless.
If she doesn't say anything, it will seem like she's siding with outsiders and doesn't even care about her brother's innocence.
If she were to speak, she knew her brother was acting, and she couldn't bear to see Pingping being deceived by him, so she felt guilty.
So she turned her face to the side and winked at Tu Hengchuan from a blind spot where Su Ping couldn't see her.
He was signaling that it was enough and he should stop while he was ahead.
Tu Hengchuan snorted inwardly, still holding a grudge against her for having someone plot against him yesterday.
So he pretended not to see the meaning in her eyes, and instead looked at Shi Xu and said, "I saw that my sister's eyes have just started twitching. You should go to the hospital to get her checked out, lest she end up with hemiplegia."
These words made Tu Ling so angry that her teeth itched, but the excuse Shi Xu had just given her prevented her from going up and beating him up.
He could only smile through gritted teeth and say, "Can't you say something nice?"
Su Ping's mind was filled with thoughts of taking advantage of Tu Hengchuan while he was drunk last night, and the more she thought about it, the more her head ached.
If other people find out about this, especially his fans...
Just thinking about it terrifies her.
Because of the chemistry he had with someone on that variety show, his die-hard fans photoshopped a funeral portrait of him and spread rumors about him.
If they found out she almost slept with their brother, wouldn't they block her in the street and throw sulfuric acid at her?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She could only look at Tu Hengchuan and say in a conciliatory tone, "I know that what I'm saying might be a bit irresponsible..."
She hesitated, unable to bring herself to say what she was about to say.
Tu Hengchuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a serious expression.
Those eyes, even when looking at a dog, are full of affection.
Especially since he had just gotten emotional, his eyes were red, and someone who didn't know better might think he had bullied him.
It was a stark contrast to his appearance. Indeed, tears are the best cosmetic treatment for men. After his eyes turned red, even his deep and handsome features seemed a bit more vulnerable.
What are you trying to say?
Tu Hengchuan knew she believed what he had just said, and suppressed a laugh as he asked her a question.
Su Ping steeled herself and blurted out, "Anyway, we were both drunk last night, so you won't lose out if I touch you or kiss you a few times, and besides..."
"And you enjoyed the process, didn't you?"
After he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet; you could hear a pin drop.
Tu Ling stared wide-eyed in disbelief, dumbfounded as she looked at Su Ping over there.
Did she hear that right? Did this young woman really say something like that?
Once she realized what was happening, she couldn't hold back her smile.
It seemed her younger brother had truly met his match this time, and she suddenly became curious about his response.
Tu Hengchuan was clearly taken aback by her words and paused for a moment.
But as for enjoying it...
His gaze fell on Su Ping's feigned composure, then slowly moved down, looking her from head to toe.
As I slowly passed through those places, some crazy memories from last night surfaced.
He subtly curled the corners of his lips, feeling a surge of pleasure.
What she said was indeed correct; I did enjoy myself quite a bit last night.
If he weren't worried that she wouldn't be able to stand him taking advantage of her while she was drunk, he felt he would have enjoyed it even more.
This is the first time in over twenty years that he has had this feeling for someone.
He didn't know if he liked her, but whenever he was near her, he felt a longing in his heart to hold her tightly in his arms.
Just like last night, he didn't care about anything else. He even wanted to hide such a beautiful view so that no one else could covet it.
Last night, after being terrified by his own crazy thought, he stopped himself from taking the final step with her.
He feared that his momentary impulse would lead him to see hatred in her eyes the next day.
He didn't want to see her looking at him like that, so he forced himself to stop, and finally took off the blue diamond earrings he was wearing around his neck and put them on her ears.
Ever since she returned the earring to him, he had been wearing the blue earring close to his body around his neck, and he didn't know why.
It wasn't until yesterday, after he followed his heart and put that blue diamond earring on her, that he realized why he had been so restless these past few days.
Her earlobes are beautifully shaped and very sensitive; they turn red easily when touched.
After putting on the earring, he felt a strange sensation.
Out of selfishness, he didn't tell her that he had put the earring on her; in the end, he was afraid that she would reject him.
Seeing that he was staring at her without saying a word, Su Ping's heart began to pound.
Okay, she does admit that what she just said was a bit shameless, but at the time she was thinking of throwing caution to the wind.
After all, Tu Hengchuan is now a public figure and is in the rising stage of his career, so he probably wouldn't want to announce his relationship or have any relationship scandals so soon.
That's why she disregarded everything and shamelessly said those words.
As expected, the next second, Tu Hengchuan's expression turned somewhat hurt, but he still nodded in the end.
"Okay, whatever makes you happy, I'm fine with anything, if that's what you want."
What kind of talk is that?
Su Ping suddenly felt a little guilty, as if she had bullied someone and didn't want to take responsibility.
Suddenly, her phone rang in her pocket. Looking at the caller ID, she saw it was Song Qi calling.
Why is he calling me so early? Shouldn't he be at school?
Seeing her staring intently at her phone screen, Tu Hengchuan, who was standing next to her, suddenly became curious about who had called her.
But just as he turned his head to try and see clearly, Su Ping had already moved her body to the side with lightning speed.
Then, use your other hand to answer the call and hold the phone to your ear.
"What's wrong?"
For some reason, when she asked that question, she felt her voice become much softer.
Is it because he feels guilty?
But what was she feeling guilty about? She and Song Qi clearly had no relationship whatsoever.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end before Song Qi's voice came through.
"Senior, what are you doing?"
She wasn't sure if she had misheard, but Song Qi's voice sounded a little strange, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
"Me? I just got up, what's wrong?"
Su Ping cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound normal.
But Song Qi on the other end of the phone still sensed something was off. He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you home?"
Su Ping was about to answer when she suddenly noticed Tu Hengchuan's gaze beside her. She changed her mind and asked, "Is there something you need?"
