C30 The Woman Named Julien

Sleep, sleep, sleep!

She, Yu Lian, had waited for so long.

Fuck.

Actually, he could.

Yu Lian silently sighed at her bottom line, which was constantly being refreshed. Then she quietly got up from the sofa and watched Pei Kiu casually throw his suit jacket on the shelf beside him.

The air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of alcohol.

... "Did you drink?"

"There's a banquet tonight."

Pei Kiu's tone was calm, as usual, but as she got closer, the smell of alcohol in the air became stronger and stronger. It was as if a whiff of it would make you feel a spiciness from the tip of your nose all the way to your lungs.

Pei Kiu reached out and pulled his tie along his collar.

The tie didn't move an inch, only a few wrinkles. It looked even tighter.

Master Pei frowned.

Yu Lian saw Pei Kiu's actions from afar and subconsciously felt that something was wrong. The sudden thought in her mind was confirmed by the following scene.

Pei Kiu's hands were on his tie.

In the quiet air.

There was a piercing sound.

She heard the sound of fabric being torn. Then she saw that Pei Kiu had finally torn off his tie, which was almost two rags, from his neck, slipped off his long fingers, and fell to the floor.

Damn! He tore the tie with his bare hands! This skill was so awesome!

However, looking at the situation...

She quickly walked in front of Pei Kiu, held up two fingers in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"Handsome Pei, what's this?"

Pei Kiu raised his eyes.

His dark eyes were still deep, but they were like still water, suddenly stirred into a pool of turbid water.

He was drunk. He was so drunk that he didn't even know how to take off his tie.

She smiled.

Pei Kiu was usually a self-disciplined guy who didn't smoke or drink. The last time she saw him smoking on the cruise ship, that scene had left a deep impression on her. This time, Master Pei was very drunk, so she couldn't miss it.

She silently took the phone.

Although Pei Kiu was drunk, he wasn't so drunk that he couldn't wake up. He grabbed the phone without saying a word, swiped his finger across the screen, and said impatiently.

"What are you taking pictures of?"

"I'm taking pictures of you."

Pei Kiu laughed.

Unlike his usual cold, gentle, or doting, mocking smile, Pei Kiu's smile was very clean at this moment. His ink-black eyes were a little dazed from the alcohol, but also a little gentle and pure. The faint smile on his thin lips also melted in the alcohol.

It was like the snow at the end of winter and the beginning of spring that had yet to melt. The coldness and warmth gradually disappeared.

Yu Lian felt that this was the first time she had seen Pei Kiu smile like this.

Then, she was stunned.

Pei Kiu suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her gently from her hair down to her forehead, between her eyebrows, her cheeks, the tip of her nose, and finally, with a strong smell of alcohol on her lips.

Damn, this Master Pei likes his family when he's drunk?!

Before she could even think about it, she was interrupted by Pei Kiu's next move. Master Pei, who was kissing her just now, let go of her in the next second and asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Why aren't you going to sleep?"

Alright, Master Pei's logical thinking ability was probably paralyzed by alcohol.

"I'll wait for you!"

Yu Lian replied shamelessly.

Pei Kiu paused for a moment, as if he understood this strange train of thought.

"Ten minutes, I'll go take a shower first."

Then, Yu Lian watched in a daze as Pei Kiu clumsily unbuttoned his shirt and strode to the bathroom. She couldn't help but wonder how much influence a regular life could have on people.

After getting used to a regular life, these things basically became instinctive.

Nearly ten minutes passed.

Pei Kiu came out of the bathroom in his pajamas. Yu Lian was standing in the living room, leaning against the sofa and scrolling through her phone. Pei Kiu was more awake now.

Yu Lian, who had been engrossed in her phone, suddenly felt her body lighten. A strong force wrapped itself around her waist and easily lifted her up. The faint fragrance of the shower gel on her body was the same as her own.

Moisture, alcohol, and fragrance.

It was as if it could make people drunk.

Her world was spinning, like a crystal ball in a gift box, slowly, like a slow-motion movie, and the light in the living room gave her vision a hazy filter, but it was bright, as if she were looking through a pane of glass at a shimmering world.

Thus, the person in the world became clear.

It was incomparably bright.

Pei Kiu hugged her and spun her around and around.

The world was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

After walking around a few times, Pei Kiu stopped, but he didn't put her down. Instead, he carried her all the way to his bedroom on the second floor. Half walking, half staggering, he threw himself onto the bed. The bed was very soft, so when he fell down, he felt a little dizzy.

Pei Kiu held her with one arm and pulled the blanket with the other.

"Yu Lian, go to sleep."

He whispered in her ear.

She had a temporary insomnia because her heart was racing, and even though she hadn't done anything, just lying in bed with a drunk in her arms, Yu Lian couldn't sleep.

Yu Lian really wanted to go outside and pluck a flower and test its petals like in the TV series.

Did she have a chance? Or did she not have a chance?

Did Master Pei like her? Or did he not like her?

The questions bored her, a novice in love, so much so that she kept her eyes open from the middle of the night until she felt tired enough to close them.

She deserved it.

...

One week, two days of rest, two days and a half to go out with Pei Kiu, and then watch Wang Luqing's farce spread like wildfire. There was only one day left before she and Soong Lan had to run to take over the crew... Only one day left.

Yu Lian wanted nothing more than to come back for another week. This time, however, she was surprised to find that she and Miss Lan's wavelengths were matching. Soong Lan immediately suggested the best way to skip class.

Shift change.

Lee Yu and Yu Lixing spent a week with the studio for the two of them, and after that week, they took Lee Yu with them for fourteen days in a row. So, Yu Lian found another side of Soong Lan - rebellion.

Every girl had this kind of complex. Yu Lian was silent.

The next day.

Soong Lan did not wait for Yu Lian, who was dressed in her usual loose clothes and carrying a big black bag on her back. Instead, she waited for a car. As the window slowly rolled down, she saw a familiar face in the car.

He had short hair, delicate facial features, and a more gentle line than resoluteness. There were shiny earrings on his earlobes. This was a handsome young man.

Young man?

"Miss Lan, I will serve you today."

The young man smiled lightly. The shallow dimples on his cheeks caused this person's temperament to suddenly change. If this was outside, this smile would definitely specially recruit young ladies.

... "Yu Lian?" Soong Lan finally understood where this familiar feeling came from.

The young man's eyes were curved like the crescent moon in the night sky. His voice was not deep, but it had a feminine quality to it. It was Yu Lian's voice.

"Ah ~" Yu Lian replied coquettishly. Even the earrings on her ears seemed to be shining brighter than usual.

Soong Lan sighed helplessly. She opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. She looked at Yu Lian a few more times before asking.

"What are you doing?"

"It's convenient."

Yu Lian held the steering wheel with one hand and touched the shiny studs in her ear with the other. There was a faint smile on her face that made her seem more mysterious.

"Is the car yours?"

"I rented it."

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent.

Yu Lian tried her best.

"I spent 200 yuan to get someone to design this. How is it? Is it handsome?"

... ""

Soong Lan's silence made Yu Lian look up at the sky.

Dean's devilish voice echoed in her ears, Damn it, you want to send me away by giving me two hundred red packets? Are you even human? You only gave me two hundred each time you hooked up with Mr. Pei? Yu, are you even human?

The sky was very blue.

"So, what are we going to do?"

Yu Lian thought for a moment.

"How about I invite Miss Lan to a star hotel for a few days?"

Soong Lan gritted her teeth.

"Don't call me by that nickname!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The car headed straight for the location of the video, the star hotel under Pei Kiu's name. At first, Yu Lian was hesitant about continuing the investigation. After all, she was a little afraid of Wang Hong's background and the possibility of him hiding his identity. But then she thought about it and realized that she had already invested all her money. If there was no splash of water, would she lose anything?

"Are you sure he still dares to show up at that hotel?" Soong Lan was puzzled by this.

"I can't guarantee it, but I think he will appear again."

"Is your sixth sense accurate?"

"No matter what, he can still stay in a star hotel for a week. It's not a loss."

... ""

Soong Lan felt that the two of them had suddenly lost the common language.

That hotel was called Jin Tang. Four-star. It was one of the best hotels in S City. It was not the peak of the tourist season or the Golden Week, so there were not many people here. There was no need to book in advance.

However, Yu Lian, a poor woman, still searched through all the major apps and browsed through many websites. She found the best price and checked in with Miss Lan's ID.

Whether or not Yu Lian did it on purpose, Soong Lan was speechless when she saw the king-sized bed in the room. Yu Lian, on the other hand, was so excited that she threw herself on it and rolled around on the soft bed.

"Next..."

Yu Lian opened her eyes and was about to say something with a smile on her face when her phone rang.

Lee Yu sent her a new message.

Wang Luqing received another anonymous private photo. According to Lee Yu, this time the photo was more explicit, so Wang Luqing did not dare to show it to anyone.

This matter was not over yet.

Or rather, it was just the beginning.

"We can only wait and see," Yu Lian said irresponsibly.
