"You approached me with such scheming, what exactly are your intentions? Do you want to... rip out my heart? Tear out my lungs? Or... do you want to drain all the blood from me?"
My vision was blurry, and I couldn't see clearly, but I felt that Su Shenglin's handsome face seemed to freeze, looking both amused and exasperated, staring at me without moving.
After a long pause, he asked me with utter astonishment, "I'm not a butcher, why would I need to dig out your heart and lungs and draw blood?"
"That's a question for you... How would I know? You're acting strangely, and your mother is acting strangely too... You're both being nice to me for no reason, it's terrifying—" I shook my head, waving my hand dismissively, muttering, "Terrifying..."
Su Shenglin asked, "So you think that we're nice to you so we can harvest your organs and draw your blood, which is why you suddenly distanced yourself from me and avoided seeing me?"
I leaned back softly on the sofa and said in a muffled voice, "No...not entirely...you're too good at manipulating people, too dangerous..."
Su Shenglin smiled indulgently and asked in return, "What did I do to you that made me dangerous? You just tried to kiss me forcibly in the car, and I dodged it. Aren't you the dangerous one?"
"No, I'm not dangerous... I'm just a pushover, anyone can bully me, squeeze me, and step on me—" I muttered to myself, remembering my tragic past.
"No, Jiang Wan... If you're willing, I'll protect you from now on," Su Shenglin said solemnly, looking at me.
So I asked again, "Then why is that...? Why do you treat me well and protect me?"
Su Shenglin turned slightly and looked at me seriously, asking, "Jiang Wan, you really don't recognize me at all?"
I said, "I recognize you... You're Su Shenglin, Second Master Su, so high and mighty... just like a celestial being descended from heaven. Alas... we ordinary people are not worthy of you..."
Su Shenglin sighed helplessly, "Forget it, you're so drunk, I'm actually hoping you'll remember me."
I was half-awake and half-asleep, still muttering in my sleep.
Su Shenglin got up and walked away, but quickly returned with a blanket in his hand.
"Jiang Wan, you reek of alcohol, so don't go to bed. Just make do on the sofa for the night."
He spoke, but it sounded like a mosquito buzzing to me; I couldn't hear him clearly, and he didn't respond.
I felt him lay me down, take off my shoes, and help me lie flat on the sofa.
He bent down and carefully covered me with the blanket.
When the cloak reached my shoulders, I inexplicably opened my eyes and smiled. "You're so beautiful... so beautiful I just want to kiss you..."
Then, the hand holding the blanket suddenly froze.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
"think."
Everyone has a love for beauty.
The basic human instincts of eating and sex.
After being numbed by alcohol, I lost all reason, and the most primal desires in my body were released.
I returned to that dream, where I kissed Su Shenglin.
However, this time the touch felt more real, and I was more captivated by it.
I kissed them again and again, muttering to myself, "Your lips... are so soft, like jelly—I wish I could kiss them every day..."
"Jiang Wan, do you know what you're doing?" The man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was restraining himself.
"Of course I know... It's not the first time, we're married... What's a kiss?!"
"Really? A kiss is nothing? Then I won't hold back."
Su Shenglin's words seemed to indicate that he had shed his moral shackles.
I felt a shadow looming over me, and I also felt the fresh, fragrant scent of forest vegetation gradually enveloping me—
But just then, a surge of alcohol intoxication rose up.
"Ugh!" I swelled up like a wave, and the figure moved quickly, hurriedly pulling over a trash can to catch me.
I vomited so badly I felt dizzy and disoriented.
After vomiting, I felt like a caterpillar that had emptied its insides, and I fell into a deep, exhausting sleep...
I have no idea what happened next.
I vaguely remember that I threw up twice more.
I had no idea when the man who took care of me left.
I've been suffering from insomnia for many days, and even sleeping pills haven't helped me sleep soundly.
That night, under the influence of alcohol, I slept like a log.
It wasn't until late the next day, when I rolled over and fell off the sofa, that I was suddenly jolted awake from my deep sleep.
I sat on the ground, looking around in a daze, my mind completely blank.
Trying hard to recall what happened last night, all I remember is that Li Yunwei organized a party to celebrate my birthday and invited a bunch of younger brothers to join in the fun.
Everyone was having a great time and unknowingly drank too much.
What happened after that, how I got home, is a complete blank.
But I vaguely remember seeing Su Shenglin again, and we even hugged and kissed.
No need to think, I must be dreaming again.
So this is what it feels like to black out after drinking.
It's as if my brain's memory has been rebooted.
My head was throbbing with pain. I struggled to get up from the floor and collapsed onto the sofa, feeling like my body was falling apart, staring blankly into space.
My phone rang, waking me from my dazed state.
I reached into my bag, pulled out my phone, and saw it was my assistant calling.
"Hey... Cherry, um... I'm not feeling well, I'll rest for half the morning, um, we'll talk when I get back this afternoon, okay, bye-bye..."
After hanging up, I noticed six or seven missed calls on my phone.
Xiao Yingtao's, Li Yunwei's, the company's department executives', and Jiang Haiyang's...
Jiang Haiyang?
I suddenly remembered that today is Monday, and as Jiang Haiyang said, the board of directors will be held early Monday morning to announce my shareholding and control over the company.
