In the car, Chu Wuyang, lying in Jing Min's arms, was not still.
He mumbled something indistinctly, his voice soft but so unclear that it was impossible to hear him.
Jing Min frowned slightly, lowered his head, and tried to get closer to hear what she was saying.
Just as he leaned in close,
Her soft lips brushed against his cheek unintentionally, like a feather.
The tingling, numb sensation sent a jolt through him.
He hadn't been this close to her in a long time.
Even the scent emanating from her was almost forgotten.
At this moment, the warmth in his arms seeped through his skin and into his heart, and a kind of suppressed desire suddenly spread.
His fingers couldn't help but gently trace her eyebrows and eyes, as if touching a precious work of art, his movements tender and restrained.
His gaze fell on her slightly trembling eyelashes, and his expression softened unconsciously.
However, just as his fingers traced her cheek,
Chu Wuyang's eyelashes trembled suddenly.
Immediately afterwards,
She suddenly opened her eyes.
The two looked at each other.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Jing Min's fingertips froze on her cheek, and his expression instantly turned to ice.
And the next second...
Chu Wuyang reached out his hand.
She gently stroked his cheek, her fingertips slowly caressing it, the movements tender and gentle.
"Little brother..."
She murmured softly.
Jing Min's gaze suddenly darkened, all the warmth on his face vanished, replaced by a chilling gloom.
His lips tightened slightly, a dark undercurrent surged in his eyes, and a chill instantly crept into his heart.
How absurd!
——
Early in the morning, a sudden, urgent telephone ring broke the silence of the room.
Chu Wuyang frowned; the headache from the hangover left her too weak to even open her eyes.
She huddled under the covers, her hands groping haphazardly across the bed.
My fingertips traced the soft sheets again and again.
I finally found the phone that was still vibrating.
She took a deep breath.
He pressed the answer button, and his voice was hoarse from just waking up, weak and listless.
"Hey~"
Ye Yuhe's frantic voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, sounding as anxious as if she were on fire:
"Ahhh! You're still sleeping, Yangyang? The sky is falling!"
Chu Wuyang frowned, her temples throbbing even more from her noise.
He raised his hand to rub his temples, sighed wearily, his eyes half-open and half-closed, his tone languid:
"Tell me slowly... what happened?"
Ye Yuhe took a couple of anxious breaths on the other end of the phone, as if organizing her thoughts; her voice was still rapid.
"You're trending! My whole circle of girlfriends is buzzing with excitement!"
Chu Wuyang's eyes were half-closed, and she was still not completely sleepy.
I swiped my finger across the screen twice and opened the trending topics list in the entertainment section.
—A wealthy socialite, allegedly abandoned by her husband, drowns her sorrows in a bar late at night, meeting a younger man to ease her grief…
The short sentence is full of gossip, and the sensational headline makes people's imaginations run wild.
Her previously drowsy eyes instantly cleared, and she blinked before sitting up abruptly in bed.
The person in the photo is indeed her. Although she is a little blurry, anyone who knows her can recognize her at a glance.
Moreover, the wording of the title is particularly intriguing, deliberately guiding public opinion.
Especially considering Jing Min's recent scandals, both real and fabricated, this news is like adding fuel to the fire.
It's worth noting that those rumors about Jing Min didn't even have any actual photos; they were spread like wildfire based on just a single sentence from a marketing account.
This time, she has pictures and "truth" to back it up.
However, what's even stranger is that this kind of news should have been blocked long ago, but it managed to leak out smoothly and even made it to the top of the trending searches.
Is someone deliberately letting it go unchecked?
Jingmin?
He probably wants these kinds of news to spread as true as possible, so that his claim of her "dating a young man at night" can be definitively proven.
That way, even if they announce their "divorce" one day, he can absolve himself of all responsibility because she also "cheated."
Chu Wuyang held his phone, his expression so calm that it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
She has never cared about rumors and gossip online, and is used to making up stories out of thin air; it just so happens that she is the protagonist this time.
She swiped her finger across the screen, zooming in on the man's face in the photo. She stared at it for a few seconds, her brows furrowing slightly.
It feels somewhat familiar...
She tried hard to recall the events of last night, but she couldn't remember who the man was.
I could only vaguely sense that I had seen it somewhere before.
"Ahe, do you know the man in the photo?"
Her voice carried a hint of doubt.
Ye Yuhe on the other end of the phone was taken aback by her focus, and then immediately retorted without hesitation:
"Your focus is way off! I don't know him. He's just some drunk guy who came up to chat me up!"
Chu Wuyang's gaze remained fixed on the man's profile in the photo.
Although the image is a bit blurry, it feels somewhat familiar.
She frowned and muttered to herself:
"Then... how did we get back?"
Although she is the main character in the photo, Ye Yuhe, who is lying on the table next to her, drunk and unconscious, is equally eye-catching.
Although the people in the photo may not recognize her.
But she knew perfectly well that Ye Yuhe, in her state at the time, could not possibly remember taking her home when she was also completely drunk and had no memory of what was happening.
Ye Yuhe exclaimed excitedly on the other end of the phone:
"You really have a complete blackout!"
