After leaving the Kedel restaurant,
Lu Qingzhou carried Chen Xiaoxi to the parking area. He carefully squatted down and put her down, afraid that he might accidentally drop her.
Chen Xiaoxi's soft body leaned against his arm, her warm breath brushing against his throat. The warmth of her body beneath the thin shirt mingled with the fabric, causing Lu Qingzhou's Adam's apple to bob involuntarily, and his heartbeat to make his eardrums ache.
"Help her for a moment, I'll go call a designated driver."
His voice was unconsciously much softer than usual, and his gaze lingered on Chen Xiaoxi's face for half a second longer before turning away.
Seeing Chen Xiaoxi's feigned drunkenness, Leng Yue didn't expose her and instead helped her up.
Chen Xiaoxi lowered her head, her hair falling messily.
She feigned drunkenness, swaying as she leaned against Leng Yue's shoulder, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Lu Qingzhou, who had already walked away, a sly glint in her eyes.
Then, the moment his fingertips touched the soft flesh of Leng Yue's waist, he pinched it precisely.
"Ouch!" Leng Yue suddenly exclaimed, her voice filled with unexpected annoyance.
Chen Xiaoxi lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, saying, "You pinched me just now, so we're even now."
Recalling the sneak attack Leng Yue had launched at the restaurant earlier, she was filled with hatred, but on the surface she pretended to be aggrieved and unwilling.
Leng Yue rolled her eyes and replied in a low voice, "Who told you to pretend to be drunk? Half of my shoulder went numb from your weight, so it's only right that I pinch you."
He secretly thought to himself that Chen Xiaoxi's acting skills were quite good, but unfortunately she met her "nemesis".
At this time,
Lu Qingzhou's voice came through: "Yueyue, give your car keys to the designated driver and let him come with us. I'll drive Xiaoxi's car to take you to the clinic."
The two fell silent instantly, like puppets whose pause button had been pressed.
Leng Yue took out her car keys from her bag and tossed them to Lu Qingzhou, deliberately letting her gaze linger on Chen Xiaoxi.
As her fingertips brushed against Chen Xiaoxi's waist, she felt the other person's body stiffen slightly, and she chuckled inwardly.
This action provoked Chen Xiaoxi to whisper angrily: "My car keys are in my bag."
Chen Xiaoxi was both ashamed and angry, her cheeks burning, but she dared not reveal that she was sober, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Leng Yue didn't care at all, instead grinning and saying, "Hehe, if you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know where you put it?"
While teasing her, she secretly glanced at Chen Xiaoxi's reaction, secretly delighted to see the other woman's angry but timid expression.
"You female hooligan?"
Chen Xiaoxi was both ashamed and angry. She cursed Leng Yue in her heart, but she could only keep it to herself.
"You're really smart, you even know my nickname—'Female Rogue'," Leng Yue teased casually, her eyes full of mischief.
Just as Chen Xiaoxi was about to explode, Lu Qingzhou came back: "Have you found Xiaoxi's key?"
Leng Yue then rummaged through Chen Xiaoxi's bag and pulled out a car key, casually tossing it to Lu Qingzhou, "Here it is."
Lu Qingzhou took the keys, quickly ran to open the back door, and turned back to say, "You and Xiaoxi can sit in the back."
Leng Yue pouted, "No, I want to sit in the passenger seat."
She glanced at Chen Xiaoxi, secretly plotting something.
Lu Qingzhou glanced at Chen Xiaoxi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alright, let's help her into the back seat first."
The two helped Chen Xiaoxi into the car, and Leng Yue immediately laid Chen Xiaoxi down.
Seeing the other person's "unconscious" appearance, a subtle smile appeared on her lips. Lu Qingzhou took a cushion and placed it under Chen Xiaoxi's head, his movements as gentle as an exceptionally warm and caring man.
Having done all this, the two walked to the front driver and passenger seats respectively.
The night was as dark as ink, but the atmosphere inside the car was tense and unsettling.
Chen Xiaoxi slightly opened her eyes and glanced at the two people in front of her, her eyes filled with vigilance and curiosity.
Leng Yue turned her head to look at Chen Xiaoxi lying in the back row, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and turned back to look at Lu Qingzhou, chuckling, "Brother Qingzhou, Miss Chen is drunk now, why don't you take her to... (edited)."
Her voice carried a hint of excitement, her eyes fixed on Lu Qingzhou, trying to glean something from his reaction.
Chen Xiaoxi, who was lying in the back seat pretending to be asleep, almost sat up in shock. Her eyes were fixed on Leng Yue's back through the gaps in her hair. She gritted her teeth and her clenched fists trembled slightly.
She was both angry and anxious, cursing Leng Yue for her ill intentions, but at the same time, she was somewhat looking forward to Lu Qingzhou's answer.
Lu Qingzhou's hand on the steering wheel trembled slightly, and his heart suddenly raced.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he glared at her, annoyed. "Yueyue, what nonsense are you talking about? Would I do something like that?"
Although he reprimanded her verbally, he felt inexplicably flustered inside, with a hint of indescribable emotion mixed in.
Leng Yue glanced at the back row without making a sound, smiled to herself, and continued to tease Lu Qingzhou: "Brother Qingzhou, don't you dare? Sigh."
Seeing Lu Qingzhou's flustered appearance and the subtle, tense breathing behind her, Leng Yue almost burst out laughing, thoroughly enjoying the pleasure of teasing him.
Lu Qingzhou rolled her eyes in exasperation: "These are completely different things! Understand?"
His voice carried a hint of annoyance, yet also a lack of confidence.
Leng Yue curled her lip. "Tch, coward."
Then his eyes flashed, as if he had come up with a bold idea.
She turned to the side and kissed Lu Qingzhou on the cheek.
Lu Qingzhou was startled by Leng Yue's sudden action and immediately exclaimed, "Damn it, Yueyue, what are you doing?"
His face flushed red instantly, his heart pounded like a drum, and in his panic he almost stepped on the wrong gas pedal.
Leng Yue raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes blinking as she looked at Lu Qingzhou's cheek, her face full of charm, "Let me kiss you!"
