Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After dinner, everyone naturally went home. Beijing University and Yunjin Prime Manor were in the east. Fu Chen said that he would send Song Fengwan back to school, so he didn’t attract Fu Yuxiu’s attention.

Fu Sinian wanted to send Shen Jinye and the others back to the old residence, so he left early.

Only Duan Linbai and Jing Hanchuan were left in the hotel.

“Should I send you home, or will you call your assistant?” Jing Hanchuan asked.

Duan Linbai shook his head. “Huh? What did you say?”

He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol tonight, so his mind was a little muddled.

Some time ago, when he was demolishing houses in the new district, there were even people looking for him in the middle of the night. He couldn’t even have a drink alone.

Jing Hanchuan was helpless. If he sent Duan Linbai home in his current condition, he would probably be scolded to death by his father again. But Jing Hanchuan didn’t want to bring him back to his house.

Duan Linbai used to drink a lot at his house in the past. Once, he rushed to one of his fish ponds and vomited into it, almost angering him to death.

What if Duan Linbai poisoned his fish to death?

***

At this moment, Xu Jiamu had already been waiting outside the hotel for a long time. When she left, the stream of guests had just ended. If she hadn’t left then, she wouldn’t have been able to leave when the next group of guests arrived later. She reached out to pull the collar of her sweater up a few inches. She was holding Duan Linbai’s jacket, waiting impatiently.

She clearly saw Fu Chen and the others coming out. Why didn’t Duan Linbai send her a message or call her?

One after another, guests came out of the hotel in droves. Many of them had flushed faces and were talking loudly at the door. Some even hugged their female companions and took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of them. In short, there were all kinds of drunk people.

Xu Jiamu worked here, so she had encountered drunk and troublesome guests before, who were exceptionally difficult to deal with.

She was getting impatient from waiting. She took out her phone and called Duan Linbai on WeChat. She called him twice in a row before someone answered.

“Hello—” Duan Linbai’s words were slurred. Even through the phone, she could smell a certain someone’s alcohol smell.

He’s drunk?

“Who are you??Burp—”

“Didn’t we agree to meet? I will give you your jacket back.”

“My jacket… Why is it with you? Who the f*ck are you? Why did you steal my jacket?!” Duan Linbai started shouting through the phone.

Xu Jiamu was speechless.

To think that she had praised this man for being a gentleman during the day. After drinking, he was simply idiotic.

“Tell me. Why is my jacket there? You stole my thing… Hey, thief… Don’t go. I’ll go find you!”

Xu Jiamu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.?This idiot.

But Jing Hanchuan could hear something unusual from the call. When Duan Linbai was eating earlier, he had been holding his phone and smiling like a fool. It seemed to start after the waitress came in…

He directly grabbed Duan Linbai’s phone from his hand. The caller ID was: [Blasted Woman]

“Hello.”

Xu Jiamu was about to hang up when she suddenly heard a normal voice. She immediately cleared her throat. “Hello…”

“I am Linbai’s friend. He drank too much. Why are you looking for him?”

Xu Jiamu originally wanted to contact him after he sobered up. Since his friend was here, she could just return the jacket to him. It would be troublesome to contact him again later.

“Uh, his jacket is with me. I’ll pass it to you. Where are you?”

“Are you the waitress who entered our private room earlier?” Jing Hanchuan needed to confirm her identity. This girl was different from the other servers. She looked delicate and gentle, and her voice was gentle and pleasant. She also had a student-like aura.

“Yes.”

“We’re at the back door of the hotel. Can you come here?”

Recently, a group of people from the He family had been keeping an eye on him, so Jing Hanchuan had been avoiding them when he went out.

He wasn’t afraid of the He family looking for him, but he was too lazy to deal with them.

“Okay.”?So they’re at the back door.?Xu Jiamu hurried over there. There were four black sedans parked in a row at the back, with people guarding them.?I wonder who they are…

She thought that some gang boss was going out. She took a deep breath and jogged over.

Duan Linbai was sitting on the stairs with his head lowered. His cheeks were red, and he seemed to be asleep.

“Are you the young lady who called?” Jing Hanchuan sized her up.

Xu Jiamu looked at the many people in black around her. She didn’t know who this person was, so she was a little nervous. “Yes, I came to give him the jacket.”

“Have you been waiting for him for a long time?” Jing Hanchuan didn’t know that Duan Linbai had an appointment, so he had watched Duan Linbai throw a tantrum in the private room and didn’t care about it, wasting a lot of time.

“It’s okay.”

“It’s already half past ten. Are you still a student? Are you fine going back so late at night?”

“My dormitory has no curfew.”

“You’re from the Medical University, right? It takes more than half an hour to drive there from here. How are you going to get back?”

Xu Jiamu gritted her teeth in anger. She was originally rushing to take the ten o’clock bus, but now she could only take a taxi. When she thought of the taxi fare, her heart ached.

“I’m going to send Linbai home. I’ll send you on the way.”

“No, I’ll call a taxi.”

“It’s not safe to take a taxi alone at night. You’re Linbai’s friend. After waiting for him for so long, it’s only right for me to send you back. Are you afraid that I’m a bad person and that I’ll do something to you?”

“Sir, I didn’t mean that…”

“Get in the car. It’s late,” Jing Hanchuan said bluntly, not giving her a chance to reject.

“Miss, please get in the car.” A Jing family member opened the car door for her. He didn’t look as if he was inviting her but threatening her. Xu Jiamu was in a difficult position, so she could only bite the bullet and get in.

The car was elongated, and the seats inside were symmetrical. Jing Hanchuan sat on one side while Duan Linbai sat opposite him. Xu Jiamu didn’t know him, so she could only sit beside Duan Linbai. From the corner of her eye, she saw red wine in the car.

These evil capitalists.

“Linbai, behave yourself. I’ll take you home.”

“Jing Hanchuan, I’m not going home. Let’s continue drinking,” Duan Linbai whimpered, his words slurred.

Xu Jiamu moved to the side, away from this drunk fool.

“I didn’t know Linbai made an appointment. Sorry for making you wait.” Jing Hanchuan was very polite to Xu Jiamu.

After she got into the car, she seemed very nervous. Moreover, she clearly didn’t want to have anything to do with Duan Linbai. Many women who saw Duan Linbai wished they could pounce on him and eat him up, but she was an exception.

“It’s okay. I still have to thank you for sending me back.”

Xu Jiamu saw that the style of this person seemed like a gangster, so she specially called her roommate. “… Yes, someone is sending me back. I’ll be arriving at the school soon… Sir, may I ask what your car’s license plate number is? My friend is coming to pick me up…”

Jing Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.?Is this woman afraid that I’ll kidnap her? Did she specially call her roommate to tell her the license plate number?

“Beijing A…”

She repeated it to her roommate. “… I’ll be there in about twenty minutes.”

Jing Hanchuan chuckled.?She’s quite vigilant.?He turned his head to look out the window without saying anything to Xu Jiamu.

There was a lot of traffic in Beijing, and dinner had just ended for most people. The car stopped every now and then, but it suddenly braked. Duan Linbai’s body swayed. He was already asleep, but he felt dizzy again.

He looked at his surroundings and saw Xu Jiamu from the corner of his eye.

The light from outside shone in through the car window and landed on her fair and clear face. The lights were tilted and flickering, making her look inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

Her head was lowered, her nose bridge was delicate, and her chin was slightly raised, making her look exceptionally gentle. Her slender fingers kept rubbing her phone, seemingly still nervous.

His throat was burning from the alcohol, and he gulped in discomfort. But it was difficult to relieve the agitation in his heart.

“Mm… you…” He pointed at Xu Jiamu. “You blasted woman, why are you here? ”

Xu Jiamu coughed twice. “Young Master Duan, I returned your jacket.”

“You blocked me in an alley and beat me up last time. I remember! I always remember!” Duan Linbai shouted.

Jing Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.?There’s such a thing?

Xu Jiamu noticed Jing Hanchuan’s teasing gaze and felt a little uneasy. “Young Master Duan, you’re drunk.”

“I’m not f*cking drunk. I even know that you have a f*cking crush on me. Don’t think I don’t know!”

“I…” Xu Jiamu’s pupils dilated.?I have a crush on him?

This person is really stupid. He’s simply spouting nonsense.

“I know how special you are to me. There are many people who have a crush on me. You don’t have to feel embarrassed!” After saying this, Duan Linbai even burped. Xu Jiamu could even smell the alcohol stench from a distance.

Is this lunatic a narcissist?

“I’ve been outstanding since I was a child, so it’s normal for you to like me. You gave me medicine, asked for my phone number, and set my voice as your ringtone. If this isn’t love, what is?”

When Duan Linbai laughed, it sounded inexplicably evil. “Hehe, I know you want me.”

But Xu Jiamu was grinding her teeth in anger. She had a scalpel right now and wanted to open up his brain to see if it was really a lump of paste.

Because his friend was here, Xu Jiamu kept telling herself to endure it…

Don’t be impulsive. Don’t hit him.. Control yourself.
