Chapter 37
Yu Le's hands lingered on Ranlong's waist, lifting the corner of her clothes again and again, as if testing her, or waiting for something.
Ranlong's consciousness was in a state of confusion, his eyes were tightly closed, and he had almost lost the ability to resist. Seeing this, Yu Le reached out and slipped his hand under the hem of Ranlong's clothes.
Before Yu Le could do anything, Song Song called her from a distance.
"Mr. Chang."
Ranlong was slightly awakened by the voice. The unfamiliar voice and smell made her uneasy, and her subconscious made her struggle to get out.
Yu Le raised her eyebrows and glanced at Song Song. Song Song leaned close to her ear with a burning gaze and whispered something to her.
After listening to this, Yu Le sneered and said, "It's this guy again."
After saying that, Yu Le let go of Ran Long, stood up and left without looking back.
Song Song glanced at Ran Long who was sleeping on the sofa, walked to the window and opened it a little, then straightened Ran Long's staggering body, and then left with Yu Le.
The warm summer breeze blew through the window, caressing Ranlong's neck. The pungent smell dissipated, replaced by the scent of fireworks, rich in oxygen. The cicadas chirped loudly, and Ranlong finally sobered up a little and opened his eyes again.
She quickly figured out the current situation, but she didn't know why everyone in the bar suddenly disappeared.
Ranlong didn't dare to think too much. She had to seize this opportunity to leave. She knew she was very drunk and couldn't walk a few steps on her own, so she quickly took out her phone to find someone for help.
Ms. Hu. No. She couldn't let Ms. Hu know that she had put herself in such a dangerous situation. Not only would she nag her endlessly, but Ms. Hu would also lock her in the house and not let her go out.
Sister Hou. Forget it. Sister Hou is so young, confused and incompetent. Don't try to save others and end up getting yourself involved instead.
Yuan Chengyin. Forget it. She didn't even know where Yuan Chengyin was.
Sissi. Strange. How could she have thought of Sissi? She didn't even have Sissi's contact information.
There was no one in the bar when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps near the door. The sound was approaching, clearly heading in her direction.
Ranlong swallowed hard, her palms sweating. The lights were dim, and her phone couldn't recognize her. She hadn't even unlocked the screen, let alone call for help.
"As long as Party A proposes, Party B must go to the designated residence and stay overnight."
A clause in the contract that Yu Le had given her suddenly emerged in her mind, making her shudder.
Ranlong didn't dare to look up at the person who came. She squatted on the floor, holding onto the sofa, and huddled in the corner next to the armrest. She naively thought that if she hid like this, she would not be discovered and could safely spend this dangerous night.
The footsteps stopped closer. Ran Long could see the man's legs and feet from the corner of his eye. He was wearing trousers and casual shoes, all branded. Perfectly suited to someone like a "financial sponsor."
Call the police. Save your life. Call the police now.
Ranlong picked up the phone again and found that it had been unlocked at some point and entered the WeChat interface.
She found that Qiu An's chat box was pushed to the front, with an unread mark on her profile picture. When she clicked on the chat box, she realized that her fingers were shaking violently.
An: Are you at Song Song's place?
An: Are you drunk?
The person in Yu Guangli took two steps forward. Ran Long didn't think any more and called Qiu An.
Half a second later, WeChat's default ringtone sounded.
At first, Ranlong thought it was the sound coming from his own cell phone, but when he listened carefully, he found that it was coming from the hand of the person in front of him.
Ranlong looked up suddenly, and a familiar face appeared before her. Even though the person was wearing a black mask and a white baseball cap. Even though the light was dim and her eyes were blurry, she couldn't see anything clearly.
Ranlong crawled to Qiu An using his hands and feet as if he had been pardoned, and kept calling her, "Qiu An, Qiu An, please take me away from here. Please, Qiu An, please."
Qiu An squatted down and hugged the embarrassed Ran Long, patting her back and comforting her: "Don't be afraid, I came here to take you home. Don't ask me, it's okay."
After Ranlong had caught her breath, Qiu An put her arm on his shoulders, held her waist, lifted her up, and took her out of the bar.
Ranlong knew that her drunken body was extremely heavy, and she wanted to cooperate with Qiu An to help her lighten the burden, but her steps were messy, and she stepped accurately on Qiu An's instep several times.
Qiu An let her step on him and didn't even make a sound even when it hurt.
Ranlong kept apologizing and thanking him, saying whatever words came to her mind. She was not afraid of appearing helpless in front of Qiu An, she just wanted Qiu An to know that she was grateful and sorry.
Taking the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, Xixi came running towards us with a bodyguard.
Xixi looked very nervous. She rushed over, breathless, and asked about Ranlong's condition: "Are you okay, Qiu An? Is Ranlong okay?"
Qiu An touched the corner of Ranlong's clothes that was pulled out from his waist, and calmly stuffed it back into his pants.
"Don't worry, we're fine. Xixi, drive us to Auntie's." After saying that, he turned to the bodyguard who had followed him and said, "Please also drive my car back to the apartment."
Qiu An asked Ran Long to get in the car, but Ran Long held her shoulders and refused to let go. After being persuaded with some kind words, she was reluctantly let into the car.
Qiu An followed her into the back seat. Ran Long was overjoyed. Without waiting for Qiu An to sit firmly, she hugged her arms and automatically leaned her head against her neck. She nuzzled her nose and greedily absorbed the familiar scent of grass and trees.
The smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and perfume in the bar was so pungent that Ran Long felt like she was being stinked. Fortunately, Qiu An didn't mind and just let her hold him.
Xixi drove out of the parking lot and onto the main road. The heavy atmosphere eased a little as traffic flowed and streetlights shone in.
Seeing that Ranlong's emotions had calmed down, Qiu An changed his gentle demeanor and asked her, "Why did you come to a place like this?"
Her tone was fierce, even fiercer than Ms. Hu's. Although Qiu An didn't push her away, her body was still the best tool for talking.
"Yu Le asked me to come here." Ran Long said sullenly.
"Yu Le? Who is Yu Le?"
"Oh, you don't know me. It's a woman I met at a bar before. She's a manager at Chiye Entertainment."
Qiu An frowned when she heard her say "Chiye Entertainment". She continued to ask Ran Long: "Are you familiar with her? Why did you agree to let her come to a place like this?"
"Why are you so fierce? I won't come to you next time." Ran Long knew that she was in a safe place. She had forgotten the pain after her wounds healed and couldn't help but act coquettishly with Qiu An.
Unfortunately, Ranlong's coquettishness had the opposite effect.
"Wait until you find me? If I really wait until you find me, it will be too late! Do you know how dangerous today is? Do you know who the other person is and who she is? You'd meet her in a place like this!"
Qiu An was extremely excited. Xixi had never seen Qiu An like this, and neither had Ranlong.
After being scolded, Ranlong let go of Qiu An's arms and moved away from her, shrinking to the other side of the chair. Ranlong's eyelids were heavy and he couldn't open them, but his brows were furrowed and his mouth was puffed, looking extremely aggrieved.
She said weakly, "Don't be so mean to me. I won't go out with her next time."
"And don't have any more contact with this 'Yu Le', remember?"
"But who are you to me? Why do you order me like this?" Ranlong was confused and forgot the cause and effect of what he said.
"Danlong!"
"Alright, alright, I agreed. Why are you being so fierce, you tigress?"
Qiu An glanced at Xixi in the rearview mirror. Xixi didn't dare to move and just kept turning the steering wheel.

Finally returning home, Ms. Hu saw Qiu An, and saw Ran Long, who was drunk and red in Qiu An's arms. She was happy and distressed. She reached out to take Ran Long, but Qiu An stopped her:
"Auntie, which room is Xiaoran's? Let me help her in. It's quite heavy."
Ranlong caught the key words: "Heavy? I'm heavy? I'm not heavy, it's you who are too weak!"
Ms. Hu said, "An An was kind enough to send you back, and you're talking to her like that? Hurry up and cooperate. Go to bed and get some rest."
When Ranlong heard that she was asked to cooperate, she immediately let go of Qiu An and fell to the ground like a piece of noodles.
Ms. Hu: “…”
Qiu An: “…”
Perhaps Qiu An also had a desire to win. Seeing that Ran Long had provoked him, Qiu An, without a word, picked up the limp Ran Long and carried him to the bed.
As soon as he touched the soft bedding, Ranlong hummed twice in comfort. He hugged Qiu An, who was about to leave, and almost took him to bed with him.
Qiu An didn't want to leave so soon if Ms. Hu wasn't watching.
"Thank you, Qiu An." Ranlong muttered in his sleep, "It doesn't matter if you're fierce, it doesn't matter if you're weak, and it doesn't matter if you treated me badly in the past. Thank you."
After saying that, she kissed Qiu An on the face.
There was a very loud "ba" sound.
Whether it was embarrassment or an allergy, the side of Qiu An's face that was covered in saliva also turned red. It was no more respectable than the drunk Ran Long.
Qiu An felt a little guilty and turned to explain something to Ms. Hu, but she saw her eyes shining and said with a smile, "Xiao Long likes you very much. Don't listen to her. She was not nice to you before, so don't blame her."
"I know, Auntie. I'll trouble you to take care of her tonight. It's getting late, so I'll go home first."
Ms. Hu wanted to keep her: "Would you like to stay here for one night? Xiaolong still has some clean clothes that I bought and washed, but I haven't worn them yet."
"I won't stay tonight. I have work tomorrow, and Xixi is waiting downstairs."
Qiu An checked the time and put down Ranlong, which was still hanging around his neck. Ranlong was already very tired, so he stopped playing around and obediently followed Qiu An's instructions, lying down on the pillow and covering his belly button with the quilt.
Ms. Hu saw her out and said, "Well, you two girls, be careful on your way back."
Qiu An walked downstairs and saw Xixi lighting her cigarette. Xixi hadn't smoked alone for a long time, and she didn't buy cigarettes for herself, but only smoked a few cigarettes when Qiu An was smoking.
Qiu An didn't want her to relapse after him, and he would always scold her every time she did. But this time, Qiu An let her go.
Seeing Qiu An coming down, Xixi put out her cigarette.
"Thank you," she said.
"Thank you for the cigarettes? Just buy me a pack tomorrow and return it to me."
Xixi could tell that Qiu An seemed to be in a good mood.
It seemed like she had received enough thanks tonight.
