Chapter 146 Kiss (Secondary Couple Route)
Zhu Wan grabbed a glass and picked up the surviving bottle of Snow Tree Vodka from the messy table.
The wine glasses were overflowing.
The wine glass in my hand was settling, exuding a strong and domineering aroma of alcohol.
Zhu Wan tilted her head back without hesitation.
The liquor rolled down her throat, making her eyelids burn.
She avoided Fang Qibai's outstretched hand.
After drinking the cup, Zhu Wan's palms became sweaty.
She turned the glass upside down so that Jiang Tingyu could see that she hadn't left a single drop of wine.
Jiang Tingyu's face darkened, and his jaw tightened.
Zhu Wan put down her wine glass, turned around, and left the private room.
She lost her footing and fell into a strong and firm embrace.
She was practically carried out of the private room by Fang Qibai.
Qiu Chen helped Lin Zhenzhen, who had just finished using the restroom, to come find them. They were stunned when they saw Zhu Wan, who was walking unsteadily in Fang Qibai's arms.
"What's going on? How much did A-Yuan drink?"
Fang Qibai looked down at the little girl in his arms, whose eyelids were thin and red and whose face was flushed. "A whole glass of vodka."
Zhu Wan felt a churning in her stomach and covered her lips.
Qiu Chen was already supporting a tipsy young girl. Seeing that Zhu Wan was in great pain, he rubbed his temples and asked, "Why didn't you stop her?"
The little girl in his arms had her face scrunched up in distress. "I couldn't stop her."
Zhu Wan could no longer stand.
Fang Qibai supported her steadily, saying, "If you feel like throwing up, just throw up. Don't hold it in."
Zhu Wan lowered her head slightly and immediately felt dizzy, unable to see clearly at all.
The world is swaying before my eyes.
She couldn't hold back any longer and loosened her grip on her mouth.
Fang Qibai was covered in vomit, but his expression remained unchanged.
He lifted the clean hem of his shirt and offered it to Zhu Wan as a tissue.
Qiu Chen called out to the waitress who brought the drinks and handed Lin Zhenzhen to her, saying, "You don't need to work tonight. Just help Brother Chen look after these two girls."
He took Zhu Wan, who was being supported by Fang Qibai, and lifted her up in his arms.
The little girl vomited all over others, but she herself was completely clean.
He deliberately kept his distance from Fang Qibai.
Fang Qibai pressed his fingertips against his brow, his gaze falling on the little girl's still red wrist.
He shouldn't have brought the drinks into the private room, leaving her and that guy outside.
Qiu Chen carried Zhu Wan into his lounge in Hongfu.
He gently placed the little girl on the bed.
The room wasn't big, but it had a separate small bathroom.
Qiu Chen covered Zhu Wan with a light blanket and said to Fang Qibai, "Go take a shower quickly. Find your clothes on the hanger; you should be able to wear them all. Hurry up and shower; they're all working like crazy and waiting for us to come and help."
Fang Qibai took the clothes into the bathroom.
Qiu Chen bent down and stared at Zhu Wan for a while, "You're the first person who dared to vomit on Gou Bai."
He gave Zhu Wan a thumbs up.
The waitress coaxed Lin Zhenzhen into the boss's lounge.
Qiu Chen looked at the little girl lying on the bed and said to the waitress sitting on the sofa, "Take good care of them."
After taking a shower and changing his dirty clothes, Fang Qibai saw that the two little girls were sleeping peacefully, so he closed the door and went out.
Qiu Chen was busy until 11 o'clock before he finally had a moment to take Fang Qibai out for a smoke.
"These teenagers are so energetic and lively."
At this rate, the bar won't be able to close until dawn.
Qiu Chen exhaled white mist, so tired that he couldn't even lift his hands.
Fang Qibai held a cigarette between his fingers, but didn't light it.
Qiu Chen held up a lighter and lit it for him.
The two smoked the cigarette quietly.
Qiu Chen stubbed out his cigarette. "Gou Bai, go take a nap in the lounge."
Thinking of the young girl in the lounge, he shook his head: "No need."
Qiu Chen was worried that Zhu Wan's family would be concerned about her being so drunk.
After confirming that the girl had just drunk too much and was otherwise fine, they let her sleep in the lounge.
Judging by the time, the Zhu family's driver should be here soon.
Qiu Chen followed Fang Qibai into the bar and saw the boy sitting in a booth, crying while hugging a bottle of liquor. He couldn't help but laugh.
For an eighteen-year-old, saving face is more important than anything else.
Having lost face, Jiang Tingyu could no longer stay in the private room.
His close male friends, out of consideration for his feelings, accompanied him downstairs to drown his sorrows.
Fang Qibai glanced at it casually.
The boy sitting to Jiang Tingyu's left said, "Brother Yu, Zhu Wan doesn't like you. Let's find someone else to like."
Jiang Tingyu: "I only like Zhu Wan."
The boy to Jiang Tingyu's left nodded hurriedly, "This is the first time I've seen Brother Yu cry like this. He's really moved."
“Brother Yu, she doesn’t like you, and you promised her you wouldn’t bother her anymore. We need to be able to let go.”
Jiang Tingyu took a swig of wine and cried even harder: "I can't let go..."
The boy's sobs reached Qiu Chen and Fang Qibai's ears.
Regardless of what people around him said, Jiang Tingyu kept repeating that he liked Zhu Wan.
No one is allowed to speak ill of Zhu Wan.
Jiang Tingyu slammed the vodka bottle on the table. "Am I not handsome enough?"
Someone chimed in, "Brother Yu, you've been the school's most handsome guy for three consecutive years, you're incredibly good-looking."
"It's just that her grades are a bit terrible... I heard that Zhu Wan likes people with good grades."
Qiu Chen listened intently, his phone vibrating in his pocket.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Fang Qibai, "A-Yuan's family has come to pick her up."
Fang Qibai walked towards the lounge.
Lin Zhenzhen has been taken home by her parents.
The room was quiet, and the air conditioning was set at a comfortable temperature.
Fang Qibai walked to the bedside.
The little girl on the bed opened her eyes the moment he approached.
The lingering dreaminess still lingered in her eyes, like scattered specks of morning light.
The lingering alcohol blurred her vision as if through a hazy fog, yet she still recognized the aloof face before her with unmistakable clarity.
Fang Qibai unscrewed the mineral water bottle and asked the awakened Zhu Wan, "Are you thirsty?"
Wan did not answer.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed his crisp collar. The unexpected force bent Fang Qibai over.
Zhu Wan tilted her head back and kissed him.
I kissed the lips I had depicted in countless dreams, yet never dared to touch.
Fang Qibai's body tensed instantly. The mineral water bottle in his hand tipped over, and the clear liquid seeped into a dark patch on the light-colored thin blanket.
The girl's lips were hot and clumsy, carrying the sweetness and timidity of alcohol, as if confirming a dream she dared not believe in when she was sober.
After a long while, their lips moved away from each other.
Zhu Wan tilted her head back and grinned foolishly, her eyes glistening with tears: "This time, I got a kiss."
After this incoherent murmur, she cupped his face in her hands, her fingertips trembling slightly, her voice as soft as if afraid of disturbing his dream: "I like you, but I dare not tell you."
"You said today that you're an adult and free to date. Can you be my boyfriend in my dreams?"
Fang Qibai's Adam's apple bobbed violently.
His hands, which had been slowly clenching into fists at his sides, gradually relaxed. He looked into her misty eyes, "Who do you like?"
I like you.
"who I am?"
Zhu Wan released her hand, looked at him, and said each word clearly: "Fang, Qi, Bai".
