Chapter 185 Kiss
Chapter 185 Kiss
Chapter 185 Kiss
Zhou Ran anxiously awaited Zhou Chao's reply.
Is he really going to kiss someone when he's drunk?!
That would be terrifying!
He's drunk with countless people while in this body; you can't count them all on your fingers.
It's all that bastard Xia Chenggan's fault for not telling him about this problem, making him lose face. He didn't have this problem before! Is the world's consciousness deliberately trying to harm him?
Absolutely. People in this world with malicious intentions are absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
Killing him last time was too lenient; he should have been torn to pieces and made to enjoy the pleasure of having his tendons and bones broken.
"You're drunk..."
It looks soft and cuddly, is very affectionate, and is especially good at being spoiled. It's like a clingy little kitten that will softly call him "brother" and hold him tightly.
Of course, these words couldn't be said directly. If they were, Zhou Ran, who was easily embarrassed and had a proud and aloof personality, would definitely ignore him for a long time.
Zhou Ran waited nervously for Zhou Chao to continue, trying to reassure herself.
No matter how embarrassing it is, it's Zhou Ran's face that's being humiliated, not his. It's okay, it's okay!
Zhou Chao changed the subject and said with a smile.
"When you're drunk, you become very clingy and lazy. You grab onto whatever you want and won't let go. You don't cry, make a fuss, or act crazy!"
Zhou Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Zhou Chao's description.
He said that he didn't have the habit of casually acquainting with people, and that Xia Chenggan, that scheming man, must have said that on purpose to deceive him into taking responsibility for him.
Zhou Ran punched the pillow on the headboard. Xia Chenggan, that cunning man, he almost fell for it again.
They had no idea that Xia Chenggan was truly innocent this time.
He wanted to raise his arms and shout to the heavens to judge loyalty and treachery, but this time, he was telling the truth and no one believed him.
In the bathroom, Xia Chenggan sneezed violently. He rubbed his nose and wondered who was talking about him.
Worried that she had made a mistake in her inquiry, Zhou Ran continued to press for answers.
"I really haven't done anything outrageous?" Like casually kissing people or anything? Zhou Ran was too embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence.
Zhou Chao touched the neck, which still seemed to retain some sensation, and replied with a smile.
"No, you have a good drinking habit. People are just talking nonsense. But you don't have reliable people around, so you should drink less. What if someone like Guan Yi comes along and hurts you?"
While trying to persuade him, Zhou Chao cursed inwardly at the loose-lipped person for letting slip the secret in front of Zhou Ran.
Xia Chenggan, in the bathroom, sneezed violently again. He wondered, "Do so many people miss me today?"
"Okay, okay. You're so long-winded, like an old woman. Goodbye!"
After confirming the answer, Zhou Ran quickly hung up the phone.
He held his phone for a moment, then dialed a number. It rang three times before being answered.
"Boss! What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Still feeling sleepy, I could tell from the sound that I had been woken up.
"Qiu Dun, why are you going to bed so early?"
"I've been free lately, I went out for drinks with them. Was there some urgent matter at the last minute?"
Qiu Dun sat up, rubbing his temples. They had been spoiling him with alcohol, and he had drunk too much, so his head was a little sore.
"No, I just wanted to ask you if I have a particularly bad drinking habit? What do you do when you're drunk?"
Qiu Dun touched his nose guiltily and quickly retorted.
"No, boss, you're a good drinker. You don't cause trouble when you're drunk, but you just hold onto people and won't let go."
"No dancing, no drunken antics or anything?"
Zhou Ran, still not entirely convinced, sought confirmation again.
"No, what kind of relationship do we have? If I did, I would definitely tell you."
"That's good. You go to sleep now! I need to rest too!"
"Okay, goodbye, boss!"
Qiu Dun quickly hung up the phone, thinking of Zhou Ran when she was drunk. When Zhou Ran was drunk, she would act coquettishly, wanting to be hugged, and would cling to people and not let go.
Qiu Dun touched his nose; he liked to press his forehead against his nose and rub it against him.
Then praise seemed to fly out of that usually stern mouth as if it were free.
They praised you so much you were dizzy, making you blush repeatedly.
In her past life, Zhou Ran was the same way. When she drank too much, she became very clingy and liked to be close to people. It's just that the eldest brother had a particularly high alcohol tolerance and almost never got drunk.
Their familiar subordinates knew their habits, and for the sake of their lives and Zhou Ran's reputation, they would keep quiet and keep the secret.
In a different guise, Zhou Ran, who had a low alcohol tolerance, got drunk quickly. She became soft and cuddly, like a kitten begging for a hug and a pat, making people want to reach out and pet her.
Of course, Zhou Ran must not know about such a rebellious act.
Otherwise, he would either kill someone to silence them or quit drinking altogether.
They've kept it a secret so well, why did Zhou Ran suddenly start asking?
Did someone let it slip? We need to find out who's so loose-lipped! We should teach them a lesson; if they can't control their mouths, I'd be happy to do it for them.
Xia Chenggan, who was in the bathroom, sneezed violently for the third time.
Xia Chenggan quickly turned off the cold water and replaced it with warm water.
How could anyone keep mentioning him so many times? Is he about to catch a cold?
No, he can't get sick. What if he infects Zhou Ran?
His recent efforts have just begun to bear fruit, so he doesn't want to distance himself from Zhou Ran.
After making the two phone calls, Zhou Ran firmly believed that Xia Chenggan, that scheming man, was trying to fool him and take advantage of him.
"Damn it, that bastard got away with it, I got taken advantage of."
Thinking about that impulsive kiss just now, Zhou Ran felt like she had lost out.
Xia Chenggan came out of the bathroom and sneezed violently. Why did he have a bad feeling?
Before he could react, Zhou Ran suddenly jumped out of bed, rushed to him, and jumped on him.
Xia Chenggan disregarded everything else and quickly hugged the person.
"Why did you rush over here? I'm still wet, don't get yourself wet too!"
Zhou Ran grabbed Xia Chenggan's face, pulled out a piece of flesh, and threatened him fiercely.
"Did you lie to me again?"
"Forehead……"
The sudden question caught Xia Chenggan off guard. He seemed to have lied to Zhou Ran quite a few times. Which one did Zhou Ran know?
"Waaaaah! How many things have you lied to me about? You didn't even answer me right away! Confess now, or I'll show you what it means to be in control!"
As Zhou Ran spoke, he raised his hand, as if to hit Xia Cheng. If Xia Cheng didn't confess honestly today, he would teach him a lesson.
Seeing Zhou Ran's sullen face, Xia Chenggan wasn't scared; instead, he laughed.
Does being so angry mean that Zhou Ran cares about him a little?
very nice!
Xia Chenggan lowered his head, leaned in, and quickly pecked him on the lips.
Zhou Ran slapped Xia Chenggan across the face, leaving a red mark. Xia Chenggan grinned, his teeth gleaming.
Zhou Ran thought to himself, "He always said that Xia Chenggan had a serious illness, and he was always happy as if he had found money every time he was beaten."
Xia Chenggan carried the person back to bed and covered them with a blanket.
"I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry!"
"snort!"
Zhou Ran crossed her arms and waited for Xia Chenggan to confess honestly.
There are three things I'm keeping from you right now...
Zhou Ran jumped up in a flash. "Wow, he actually kept three things from me! That guy's something else!"
Xia Chenggan took his hand and comforted him so he could sit down.
"I only found out recently myself, and the information is uncertain, so I haven't figured out how to tell you yet. Let me explain slowly."
"Speak, stop dawdling!"
"Didn't I trade control for something?"
Zhou Ran looked at Xia Chenggan as if he were an idiot. He was just a stupid fool who had temporarily gained control of this world. It would be much more advantageous for them to act, and yet this idiot had actually been given away.
"Stop cursing me with your eyes. I sent it there for a reason. From the remaining inherited memories, I saw that this world has a fixed operating mode. If I am the agent, I must maintain the basic operation of this world."
Zhou Ran nodded. He knew that—maintaining the world's fortune meant ensuring the original protagonists could complete their love missions.
"But Gu Tingxiao has awakened a part of his self-awareness, and others are rapidly developing their own consciousness. In this situation, I can only choose to erase these consciousnesses, or erase myself."
"Um?"
Zhou Ran rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then she understood.
In reality, it's because these contributors of fortune no longer want to be treated like slaves, no longer want their fortune to be exploited, and have awakened and rebelled. Without the subsequent flow of fortune, the world cannot continue to function.
If you want to keep operating, you have two options.
The first step is to strip these main characters of their luck, allowing them to continue contributing to the world's operation, by making them cattle and horses.
The second is the self-sacrifice of those with great fortune.
If neither path is taken, the fortunes will not be sustained, and the world will collapse sooner or later.
Why didn't you tell me? We could have figured it out together.
“It’s no use. We are just mortals. I can’t bear to send you away, and I don’t want to disappear from this world with you. I don’t want to choose between not wanting to leave you alone in this world.”
"So you made a deal with Wu, handing over control of the world in the hopes of using his fortune to keep the world running. But Wu isn't stupid; how could he be outsmarted by you?"
Given Wu's temperament, he would definitely erase the protagonist's consciousness, then reorganize the rules and let the world run again.
Once that happens, they will all end up the same way, still puppets, and their fates will be just as bad.
“I knew that, so I didn’t sell to just one of them, I sold to three!”
Upon hearing Xia Chenggan's words, Zhou Ran gave him a thumbs up. As expected of a top businessman, he was also very clever and had managed to devise a system of checks and balances.
“I divided control into four parts and handed them over. They will argue for a while, giving us time to recover. They won’t cause trouble.”
"That's a good idea, but it would make the world a sieve!"
After Zhou Ran finished speaking, she instantly understood why so many strange things had been discovered recently.
Four forces are sending people to fight for this world.
Control is divided among four world consciousnesses. The four people have differing opinions and will not allow the other to gain control, so they will not act rashly.
They check and balance each other, scheme against each other, and use their cunning against each other.
Just like Wu did before, they injected their own people into this world to control its direction.
To truly control this world, the key is still the same: control the fates of the main characters. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
