After sending Gao, who was slightly tipsy, back home, Qin Kou'er finally took off all her masks in the cool night and coldly looked at everything in the darkness.
She dismissed everyone, and alone, carrying the wine jar, leaped to the top of the roof, sat in the cold moonlight, and began to drink it in large gulps.
She needed to use strong liquor to quell the raging fire in her heart; otherwise, she feared that in the next second, she would be overwhelmed by the surging memories of the past and finally drowned out by the hatred that burst forth.
She quickly finished the entire jar of wine, stood up, and threw the jar away violently. A while later, the sound of porcelain shards breaking could be heard.
She wanted to roar, and even more, she wanted to burn everything in front of her to ashes. In the end, however, she just gritted her teeth and swallowed it all back silently, just like her tears before, which she held high and let flow back into the depths of her heart.
Long ago, she lost the right to weep, and even more so, the right to act recklessly. She could only be herself, the shrewd and intelligent woman in everyone's eyes.
She looked up, gazing at the moon on the horizon, and smiled slightly. Then her smile deepened, until she could barely stand upright, until tears streamed down her face. She finally straightened up, panting, and took a deep breath to wipe away the tears from her eyes. She glanced at it only once, then it bounced away in the wind and vanished instantly.
Composing herself, Qin Kou'er walked back to her room with an air of elegance, her figure perfectly still.
Raise your hand and gently push the door open.
"You damned woman, you finally remembered to come back!"
A slender, pale hand reached out from inside and forcefully pulled Qin Kou'er into the room, closing the door behind her.
Lan Linxue only took one sniff before immediately frowning, looking at Qin Kou'er with great disgust. She then let go of Qin Kou'er and shoved her away from her, saying, "Ugh? You reek of alcohol, disgusting!"
"You're disgusting, yet you still come to me! I feel disgusted just looking at you!" Kou'er retorted to Lan Linxue in an annoyed tone. She then walked to the middle of the room, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp to sober up.
Although the amount of alcohol was negligible, she felt somewhat drunk today because she was in a bad mood and the night breeze had made her tipsy.
Lan Linxue, with her hands behind her back, circled Qin Kou'er twice, her brows furrowed, and said with a look of suspicion, "That's not right! When you were drinking with Gao He, Gao He was clearly the one who got drunk, so how come you look more drunk than him now? Where did you go after you got rid of him?"
Qin Kou'er slammed the teacup onto the table, startling Lan Linxue.
"Are you my subordinate or my creditor?" Qin Kou'er pointed her slender finger at Lan Linxue's nose. Her cheeks were flushed with wine, and her hazy eyes were full of coquettishness and a different kind of annoyance, which made Lan Linxue feel a little itchy inside.
"They watch me every day! This is my home, I can go wherever I want! I can drink as much as I want! I have money! I can do whatever I want! I do what I want!"
After Qin Kou'er finished venting her anger on Lan Linxue in a fierce manner, she turned around, her head feeling increasingly heavy, but her steps were light as she walked towards her bed.
Lan Linxue was even more puzzled. What exactly did Gao He and Qin Kou'er say to make Qian Duizi, who was always scheming, so upset? It seemed there was more to the story.
Lan Linxue, arms crossed and chin in hand, studied Qin Kou'er from behind. Qin Kou'er, however, was in front, her eyes half-closed. She took a deep breath and shook her head. Why was that bed still so far away? She could barely see it clearly. She should have put it by the door. Nothing was going right.
Qin Kou'er closed her eyes and strode towards the bed. In Lan Linxue's eyes, it looked like she was recklessly charging towards the huge semi-transparent screen without any regard for the consequences.
Reflexively, Lan Linxue didn't even think twice. She took a big step forward, grabbed Qin Kou'er, and pulled her into her arms again.
"Ugh, are you annoying me? Let go of me!" Qin Kou'er felt her head getting heavier and heavier, and she had no strength left in her hands. Her little fists hit Lan Linxue's body, which was practically the same as her whining.
"Qin Kou'er, behave yourself! Stop making trouble!"
Lan Linxue tried to stop Qin Kou'er by grabbing her restless hand, but her hand was too slippery and she could always break free in an instant and continue to cause trouble.
Finally, Lan Linxue was enraged!
With a long arm outstretched, he wrapped one arm around Qin Kou'er's waist and the other around her legs, and with a slight effort, lifted her up completely in a horizontal lift.
Although Qin Kou'er was becoming increasingly confused and the effects of the alcohol were growing stronger, her feet were off the ground. She reflexively hooked her arms around Lan Linxue's neck and rested her head on his shoulder, muttering, "Why are you hugging me? Men and women shouldn't touch each other! It's the middle of the night, don't even think about doing anything naughty with me. Be careful you don't break anything, you can't afford to pay for it!"
Lan Linxue, with a cold face and without saying a word, carried Qin Kou'er and walked towards the large bed at the back.
He walked to the bedside, intending to throw Qin Kou'er off to teach her a lesson, but when he looked down at her delicate and charming appearance, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
With a sigh, Lan Linxue carefully placed Qin Kou'er on the bed. She took off her shoes and socks, gently removed the hair ornaments from her head, and finally carefully covered her with a blanket.
Lan Linxue pulled the blanket up to Qin Kou'er's neck and felt very satisfied.
He straightened up, clapped his hands, and was about to leave, but after taking one step, he turned back and tiptoed to pull the blanket down a little further, bringing it to his chest. Too high and it would get too hot; this position was just right.
Then I took another look and realized that the position was wrong, very wrong!
Qin Kou'er's chest rose and fell, and what if the blanket fell off because of the trembling? Wouldn't the things under her clothes be exposed?
Just as Lan Linxue reached out to touch Qin Kou'er's chest, he inadvertently glanced at the already sleeping Qin Kou'er, and was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand, covering his chest. "Ah—! You stupid woman, you scared me to death!"
Qin Kou'er was half-closing her eyes, coldly looking at Lan Linxue opposite her.
---Aside---
Whether you like it or not, just say so! You're making me so anxious, you guys are all bad people.
