After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 359 - 357: Boys Should Also Protect Themselves When Outside

Chapter 359: Chapter 357: Boys Should Also Protect Themselves When Outside

So how could he not know?

Xia Wenqing’s eyelids drooped slightly, he sighed silently at the bottom of his heart, just wanting to find more common topics with this young woman.

Xu Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly, "Yeah! She’s doing... pretty well now, not too greatly affected."

When she said this, she actually felt a twinge of heartache for Lu Zhaozhao.

But thankfully, Lu Zhaozhao had left those scumbags behind and met better parents, a brother, and a husband.

It was like another form of compensation from heaven for her.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenzhen suddenly thought of something and looked at Xia Wenqing to ask, "Second Brother, how come you’re out here? The client..."

Xia Wenqing shook his head, "The few I met today can really drink, I drank a bit too much and came out for a cigarette."

He indeed drank a lot, but going out for a smoke was just an excuse.

He saw Xu Zhenzhen hadn’t returned for a while and was worried she might encounter trouble as a girl alone outside.

Xu Zhenzhen nodded, "Then... Second Brother, have you finished your cigarette?"

"Yeah, it’s done. If you’re heading back, I’ll go with you," Xia Wenqing’s tone was indifferent, revealing none of his emotions.

"Okay."

Xu Zhenzhen followed Xia Wenqing, one behind the other, back to the gathering.

Since the client had a good relationship with Xia Wenqing, they poured him a lot more alcohol when they returned.

By the time Xu Zhenzhen was escorting Xia Wenqing back to the hotel, he was quite unsteady on his feet.

Xu Zhenzhen had no choice but to muster her courage and support Xia Wenqing towards the hotel room.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her heart was racing rapidly, like beating drums.

This was probably the closest they had ever been in each other’s company.

With every breath Xu Zhenzhen took, she could smell the unique scent of pine on Xia Wenqing.

Due to her height, his head was nearly resting on her shoulder.

All Xu Zhenzhen needed to do was tilt her head, and she could have close contact with him.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about it.

But she dared not.

When she was abroad, she had even dreamt that Xia Wenqing passionately kissed her.

The kiss left her weak in the knees and her heart pounding.

The very thought made her face turn scarlet.

The hand on Xia Wenqing’s back tightened.

The man leaning on her shoulder suddenly let out a groan, the warm breath mixed with alcohol brushing against her ear made Xu Zhenzhen shiver uncontrollably.

Xu Zhenzhen stiffened for a moment, her head turned slightly as she glanced at Xia Wenqing leaning against her, feeling even more nervous.

She thought if she didn’t hurry, she might commit a crime...

Fortunately, Xia Wenqing’s room was not far, so she quickly found the hotel room.

Swipe the card, insert it, lift her foot to close the door, and drop him on the sofa—all in one smooth motion.

Exhausted, she sat down at Xia Wenqing’s feet and patted his knee, "Second Brother, get some rest early; I’m heading back."

Xia Wenqing slowly opened his eyes, seeing Xu Zhenzhen before him, and nodded gently, "You should rest early too."

After saying this, he seemed to regain some lucidity, but his gaze was still vacant, he looked... well, quite vulnerable.

This idea flashed through Xu Zhenzhen’s mind and was quickly dismissed.

Indeed, boys also need to learn to protect themselves when they’re out.

Xia Wenqing was already handsome; now drunk like this, he looked very... pushover-able.

It seemed she would have to give him a subtle reminder one of these days.

So careless, is that really okay?

Xu Zhenzhen sighed in her heart and scurried out of the room.

Xia Wenqing watched Xu Zhenzhen’s retreating figure, frowning slightly. Eventually, he propped himself up and made his way to the bathroom.

He hadn’t drunk this much alcohol in a long time.

He hadn’t expected to get this drunk.

He tugged at his shirt collar and headed straight for the shower.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhenzhen had just reached her room when she froze.

Her room card... seemed to be with Xia Wenqing.

Xu Zhenzhen remembered that she had hung her purse on him to support Xia Wenqing.

Now, her belongings were left in Xia Wenqing’s room.

After a moment of struggle, Xu Zhenzhen braced herself and returned to Xia Wenqing’s room.

She was about to knock when she found that the door was not closed at all.

"Uh... Wenqing? My room card is in your room, I..." Xu Zhenzhen pushed open the door to check and found Xia Wenqing wasn’t there.

She knocked again, but there was still no response, so she had no choice but to walk in. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

In case Xia Wenqing was asleep in the room, she couldn’t just sleep in the lobby, could she?

With that thought, she headed straight for the sofa where she had been before, not noticing Xia Wenqing’s figure.

Maybe he was asleep?

Xu Zhenzhen thought as she searched for her purse by the sofa.

Suddenly, she heard the bathroom door behind her click.

Xu Zhenzhen jumped, and the purse she had just picked up dropped to the floor again.

"I..."

She opened her mouth, but the words she meant to say suddenly got stuck.

That was because Xia Wenqing was wrapped in just a towel, with droplets of water still on his upper body. It seemed he had just come out of the shower.

Xu Zhenzhen had only known that Xia Wenqing looked good in clothes, but she had never imagined his physique would be so impressive.

The classic type that seems thin clothed but reveals well-built features once disrobed.

Xu Zhenzhen intended to restrain herself, but she couldn’t control her own eyes.

Xia Wenqing was already her type, and now, shirtless and dripping, her ability to sit there calmly, without choosing to rush over and pounce on Xia Wenqing, was already a stroke of luck.

Suddenly, Xia Wenqing seemed to notice her presence. His gaze swept over her, then he grabbed a towel from a nearby cabinet and began to dry himself.

As if... he didn’t care at all that Xu Zhenzhen was there.

This strange behavior left Xu Zhenzhen a bit stupefied.

But what she didn’t know was that Xia Wenqing’s mind was also in turmoil.

He had drunk quite a bit, and before coming back to the hotel room, he had been holding his breath deep down, determined not to embarrass himself in front of Xu Zhenzhen, which was why he managed to make it back to his room.

So when Xu Zhenzhen left and closed the door behind her, his mind completely relaxed.

Even his reactions were half a beat slower than usual.

Seeing Xu Zhenzhen seated on the sofa just startled him for a moment, but considering Xu Zhenzhen had already left, the "person" sitting on the sofa couldn’t possibly be her.

It seemed he really did drink too much today.

He hadn’t experienced such vivid hallucinations in a long time.

When Xu Zhenzhen had just disappeared from his sight, he often saw hallucinations of her appearing before him due to lack of rest.

Even after taking sleeping pills later on, the hallucinations would still occur from time to time.

To the point where now, seeing Xu Zhenzhen every day, he still felt a sense of panic that he couldn’t grasp or keep her...
