He's gone.
They just left like that.
Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but breathe a small sigh of relief.
Thankfully, we escaped a disaster.
She thought he would torture her severely again, just like he did last night.
She was truly terrified. Every time she recalled what Xuan Mingyu had done to her last night, it was like a terrible nightmare, and her whole body still ached.
Bai Xiaoruo returned to her room and drew the curtains.
Having confirmed that Xian Mingyu wouldn't be coming back tonight, she could finally sleep peacefully.
......
Landi.
Ji Shushu opened all the bottles of fruit wine on the table and drank them one after another until only a pile of empty bottles and some meat bones remained on the table.
"Drink! Keep drinking! Huh? Where's the wine? My wine is all gone!" Ji Shushu grabbed an empty wine bottle, turned it upside down and shook it; not a drop was left.
She was already a little tipsy, her head was spinning, and her face was slightly flushed, indicating that she was somewhat drunk.
Almost everyone in the private room was drunk. Gu Yao hadn't touched a drop of alcohol. It was getting late, and he should go home and sleep.
When he opened the door to the private room, he saw two men sneaking around in the corridor next door, each holding a glass of wine. They added a few drops of some unknown liquid to the wine and stirred it with their fingers.
"Hehe, once that little beauty drinks this magic potion, tonight will be a real treat for the two of us brothers."
"Is it adjusted yet? Don't let that little beauty get away."
"Don't worry, she's so drunk she's completely unconscious, where could she possibly run off to?"
Two men walked into the hall carrying drugged wine glasses.
Gu Yao originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he thought about what those two men said about drugging a drunk girl, wouldn't he be watching a perfectly good girl have her innocence ruined?
Now that we've let him get away with it, we can't let those two beasts succeed.
Gu Yao decided to go and see.
As he followed the two men to the center of the dance floor, and then further down, he suddenly realized that their target was Ji Shushu, who was sitting against the wall!
Why is she still here?
A girl is out so late, don't her family care?
For a woman who is supposed to be the daughter of the Ji family, isn't she living a rather carefree life?
Since it was her, Gu Yao really didn't want to get involved in this mess any further.
But then I thought, even if that girl is awful, she's still a girl. What good would it do me to just watch her get taken advantage of by those two men?
Fine, I'll help her this last time. Next time, even if I see her being targeted again, I won't care.
With years of training, Gu Yao quickly approached the two men and struck them on the back of the head with a backhand slap. The two men quickly fell to the ground, their wine glasses falling to the floor and spilling their contents everywhere.
Gu Yao dragged the two unconscious men to the wall. The loud music in the hall continued, and no one noticed the commotion.
He walked up to Ji Shushu and poked her arm, which was already asleep on the table, with his finger.
"Hey, wake up."
He poked her several times before Ji Shushu slowly woke up.
"Um, who are you?" She rubbed her eyes, still feeling a little dizzy.
"Do you know how dangerous it is for a girl to be out so late? If I hadn't happened to see you, you would have been... never mind, I won't say anything more. You should go home now, it's very late."
Gu Yao couldn't understand why he was talking so much to her, even though he didn't know her at all.
If it were Annie, and he caught her coming home this late, he'd smash her forehead in.
Ji Shushu looked like she didn't quite understand. She tilted her head and suddenly grinned. "Go home? Go home to your home? Hehe, okay, okay, I'll go home now..." She grabbed her handbag from the sofa, stood up, stumbled and lost her balance, and ended up falling into Gu Yao's arms.
Gu Yao had no choice but to carefully support her with his hand. "Hey! Look carefully this time, you carried me up yourself. Don't say I took advantage of you again."
"Go home...go home..." Ji Shushu leaned against Gu Yao's chest and fell asleep again.
"Hey? Did you hear me? Wake up, I'm not your bed." He shook her several times, but Ji Shushu continued to sleep soundly and couldn't be woken up no matter what he did.
That's incredibly unlucky and tragic.
I guess I've just created trouble for myself.
Having no other choice, I had to take her home.
"Who are you? What do you want to do to Shushu?"
Ji Shushu's good friend Xiao Jie rushed over after finishing her own work. When she saw Gu Yao supporting her and Ji Shushu sleeping soundly in his arms, Xiao Jie immediately became wary, thinking that Gu Yao was a bad person and wanted to take Ji Shushu away.
"I..." Gu Yao didn't know how to explain to Xiao Jie for a moment.
Now that her friend is here, I can finally get rid of this mess.
"Since you're her friend, you help her up. Don't overthink it. I just wanted to take her home; I didn't intend to do anything to her."
Gu Yao was about to pull Ji Shushu away from him, but she stubbornly clung to his waist, refusing to let go. "No! Don't go! Let's keep drinking, keep drinking..."
She was talking nonsense, completely incoherent and drunk.
"this......"
Faced with this situation, Gu Yao was speechless.
Once you're stuck with this piece of chewing gum, you can't shake it off.
