At seven o'clock in the morning, Su Er's door was knocked on time. "Er Er, get up."
Su Er patted her head, barely managing to sit up in bed. Her head was throbbing, and her voice was hoarseer than usual. "Get up."
Su Boyuan's voice came through the door: "Have you caught a cold? I've put your medicine on the table. Your mother and I have early classes today, so don't forget to drink it."
"Okay," Su Er replied, sleepily slipping on her slippers, the wooden floor creaking with age.
She yanked open the curtains, and the sunlight shone brightly, casting shadows on the wooden floor. Tiny dust particles floated in the beams of light, outlining their shapes.
Su Er opened the window, and the morning breeze dispersed the smell of alcohol that had been brewing all night.
The person outside the door made sure they heard her getting up and washing up before turning around and leaving.
Su Er leaned against the wall to walk to the bathroom, and her face in the mirror clearly showed the consequences of her hangover.
It's so swollen!
She leaned into the bathroom and turned on the shower first.
The hot water needed to sit for a while, so she took the opportunity to do a simple set of exercises to reduce swelling.
Warm steam gradually spread in the small space until the water vapor covered the mirror surface. Only then did Su Er take off her nightgown and push open the glass bathroom door.
Water sprayed down from above, soaking every inch of her skin, and her fair complexion turned a faint pinkish hue from the heat.
Su Er gently touched her lips; the swelling-reducing exercise hadn't helped reduce the swelling.
Last night's absurd behavior gradually became clear: how she hugged and kissed Jiang Siyan, almost drowning in his arms, and the dark trousers stained with a small patch.
It was just a kiss...
How come this person is so good at being affectionate?
As for how that passionate moment was interrupted, Su Er still feels horrified when she thinks about it now.
In a moment of confusion and infatuation, a casual glance revealed two black figures walking side by side from the doorway, startling Su Er so much that her teeth chattered.
She had a wolf-like intuition for the sight of her parents returning home.
Jiang Siyan winced in pain from the bite, his mouth still tasting faintly of blood, but he patiently supported her back and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Su Er covered her face, looking utterly dejected, "My dad! My mom!"
It's like a high school student being caught having a relationship.
Jiang Siyan, puzzled, jokingly asked, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, what's the rush?"
Su Er was so nervous that she didn't even have time to care about how he addressed her. With a mournful face, she said, "You don't understand! I'm doomed!"
Putting aside the fact that she lied to them on the phone that she had already gone home, if her parents saw her kissing someone passionately at this time, she probably wouldn't be able to act anymore. The sheer amount of moralizing they would give her would be enough to crush her.
Jiang Siyan pinched her cheek and comforted her, "I'll buy you some time, okay?"
Su Er nodded vigorously.
She climbed off Jiang Siyan's lap, her face still flushed with desire.
Jiang Siyan was worried about her and helped her up, "Can you walk by yourself like this?"
Su Er was afraid that if they were any later they would really get caught, "Okay, okay!"
"Remember to send me a message when you get back."
"Uh-huh."
The car door opened, and Jiang Siyan stepped forward to block her view. Su Er quietly got out of the car from the other side under the cover of night.
As soon as my feet touched the ground, my legs buckled and I almost fell to the ground.
The driver helped her up and then stood up to shield her from view, so Su Er crouched down and took a shortcut through the bushes to run home.
Five seconds after she lay down, the sound of the door opening and closing came from outside.
Su Er kept her eyes tightly closed. She felt the door slightly open a crack, pause for a few seconds, and then close again. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.
Her heart was pounding until she fell asleep, and she couldn't tell whether it was from the kiss or from that thrilling moment.
Su Er squeezed out a pump of shower gel to cover the sandalwood scent that hadn't been completely wiped away after a quick rinse the night before.
The slippery touch against her waist sent a shiver down her spine, causing her to let out a soft groan, "Hiss—"
She turned her head and glanced at her waist, where faint bluish-purple marks were visible.
She couldn't help but curse him fiercely in her heart.
It's just a kiss, why are you being so fierce!
As the bubbles accumulated at the drain dissipated, Su Er turned off the showerhead along with the switch that had been shutting off her distracting thoughts.
Time is precious, and there's no point in wasting it on idle thoughts.
Anyway, she didn't suffer any loss; she's a magnanimous woman who doesn't fuss over trifles.
After applying body lotion, the subtle rose scent soothed my restless mind.
She took her suitcase out of the closet and started packing her clothes. Lin Shuqin had told her that the audition had been moved up, so she had to go back to Beicheng in advance to prepare.
Halfway through packing, Su Er suddenly remembered something and called Xi Wangshu.
One second, two seconds...
I didn't answer.
Su Er scrolled through their chat history. She had class today and should be getting ready for class at this time, so she shouldn't have missed her call.
Su Er dialed back again, and this time the call was answered quickly.
The call was connected almost instantly, the moment the beep sounded.
Su Er spoke quickly, "Shushu, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Let me tell you, last night..."
"Xiao Er, she's still resting."
Hearing the hoarse voice on the other end, Su Er was taken aback.
She recognized the voice, but the hoarseness hinted at something more. Su Er hesitated before asking, "Brother Yiping?"
"Um."
Su Er quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I disturbed you."
Chen Yiping lowered his voice, but his tone remained gentle, "Xiao Er, is there anything you want to say? I'll pass it on to Shu Shu when she wakes up."
Su Er coughed lightly, "No, no, Yiping, you guys continue to rest. Oh! By the way, Shushu has class today, remember to ask for leave for her."
Chen Yiping is always meticulous in his work. "The appointment has already been made."
Su Er felt embarrassed to bother them any longer, so she simply said goodbye and quickly hung up the phone.
She squatted down in front of the suitcase, stunned for a few seconds. How to put it, it was both unexpected and not unexpected.
After all, Shushu had been determined to sleep with Chen Yiping since high school, but later...
Su Er still remembers when Xi Wangshu came to Beicheng to find her during her junior year of college. It was below zero, and the two of them came out of a bar in the middle of the night and cried their hearts out in the park.
She was writing this for her final assignment, while Xi Wangshu wrote it for Chen Yiping, saying she would never chase after that scoundrel again.
Su Er was startled when she heard that Chen Yiping had opened a bar.
The fact that a gentle and refined gentleman opened a bar is as shocking as Xi Wangshu choosing to study education back then.
For this reason, Su Er specifically asked Xi Wangshu about their relationship. Xi Wangshu looked indifferent and said they were just ordinary friends.
But what she really thinks, only she knows.
Su Er was debating whether to pretend she knew nothing when her phone suddenly rang, startling her.
Looking down, I saw a familiar tone: "Message me when you wake up."
Su Er opened the chat window, hesitating whether to reply.
But Jiang Siyan's call came through the next instant...
