Chang Zhiqing, supported by Yang Ruoqian, took one step at a time to the underground parking lot. It took a lot of effort to finally get her into the passenger seat and fasten her seatbelt.
The weather was sweltering, and the underground parking lot was even more stifling. After a bit of movement, both of them were drenched in sweat.
Chang Zhiqing's cheongsam was already tightly wrapped around her body. When it got wet, the sight was quite something.
After taking his place in the driver's seat, Yang Ruoqian hurriedly turned on the air conditioning to the lowest setting. With the cool air blowing in his face, he felt slightly more comfortable.
After resting for two minutes, Yang Ruoqian finally regained his strength. Looking at Chang Zhiqing, who had closed her eyes in the passenger seat, Yang Ruoqian couldn't help but comment:
"If you can't handle your liquor, don't push yourself!"
Chang Zhiqing quickly opened her shining black eyes, looking at Yang Ruoqian with a wronged expression.
She looked like a little girl who had made a mistake and was getting scolded.
"Alright, alright..." Yang Ruoqian couldn't bear her gaze. He looked away and stepped on the gas, "I won't criticize you anymore, honestly..."
It was already very late, and there were only a few cars on the road. They quickly arrived back at their residential area.
After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, Yang Ruoqian opened the passenger door and gently nudged Chang Zhiqing, "We're home, wake up."
Chang Zhiqing obediently got out of the car, her fair arms wrapping around Yang Ruoqian's arm.
She was practically hanging all over him.
Ah, this feeling... silky smooth?
That was the only thought left in Yang Ruoqian's mind.
Ugh, what am I thinking?
Shaking off the inappropriate thoughts from his mind, a sweaty Yang Ruoqian finally managed to half-support, half-carry Chang Zhiqing into the house.
Yang Ruoqian took a deep breath, bent down, and helped Chang Zhiqing take off her black high heels with red soles.
He distinctly felt his heart rate increase.
"Hmm..." Feeling her foot being touched, even through her stockings, Chang Zhiqing felt a tickling sensation and let out a soft moan.
"Go to sleep!" Yang Ruoqian wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned on the air conditioner, "You're truly a handful..."
Taking a drunk woman home was harder than fighting a battle.
Especially when the woman was a stunning beauty.
Chang Zhiqing, as if she didn't understand, clung to Yang Ruoqian, her body sliding downwards.
Their bodies were almost pressed against each other, and Chang Zhiqing's movements almost made Yang Ruoqian lose his last bit of restraint.
Although he had been busy with work in his previous life and didn't have much time for personal life, it didn't mean he wasn't a normal man.
Yang Ruoqian took a deep breath, picked up Chang Zhiqing, and walked into her room.
The silky material of the cheongsam and the thin stockings continuously rubbed against Yang Ruoqian's hands. Along with her mesmerizing eyes and the straining laces on her chest, he felt his remaining sanity was about to evaporate!
He wished he could punish this audacious woman right then and there!
No... calm down, calm down.
After realizing he had inappropriate thoughts about Chang Zhiqing, Yang Ruoqian forced himself to calm down.
She was his closest college friend, with whom he had strived for ten years in his previous life. Taking advantage of her while she was drunk would be beastly.
How would he face Chang Zhiqing after tonight?
Risking their bond over a momentary impulse wasn't worth it.
Furthermore, Chang Zhiqing got drunk while helping him avoid drinking.
If he truly liked her, he should pursue her openly, not take advantage of her vulnerability.
After making up his mind, Yang Ruoqian quickly regained his composure, gently placed Chang Zhiqing on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
"Good night!" Yang Ruoqian looked at Chang Zhiqing, who had already closed her eyes, and left the room.
Bang!
The sound of footsteps receding and the door closing echoed into the bedroom.
Five minutes later.
Chang Zhiqing kicked off the blanket and sat up abruptly. Where was the hint of drunkenness in her eyes?
"You just left like that? Just like that? Didn't you want to do something to me?!"
"I've gone this far, and you can still resist, Yang Ruoqian, are you even human?"
"Thinking a few bottles of beer would get me drunk? Even two jin (a measure of weight) of liquor wouldn't do the trick!"
Chang Zhiqing thought about her behavior all the way back, and her cheeks turned slightly red, wishing she could bury herself in her blanket.
Ah, it was so embarrassing...
Being embarrassed was one thing, but the key point was that she didn't achieve her goal!
Feeling a bit annoyed, Chang Zhiqing removed her tight cheongsam and stockings and lay back on the bed.
"This man is hard to pursue; I need to think of the next plan quickly."
She's been chasing him since their freshman year, a full five years, and yet she's made no progress.
An urgency rose within Chang Zhiqing.
Now that the boss is slowly building up the company, he will surely hire more hosts and even venture into the entertainment industry in the future.
When the company is filled with beauties, won't her chances decrease?
...
Back in his room, Yang Ruoqian took a cold shower, turned on his computer, and began to devise a detailed plan.
Yang Ruoqian wasn't one to deceive himself. After realizing he had developed unique feelings for Chang Zhiqing, he needed to strategize and win her over.
"Girls probably don't like sycophants... Instead of letting her know I want to pursue her, why not make her like me?"
"I can't be too obvious about my intentions, or I'll be at a disadvantage."
"First, I need to find out what Chang Zhiqing likes... Ah, in my previous life, I worked for over ten hours a day and forgot to understand even this basic thing."
This is the consequence when two close friends of opposite genders suddenly develop feelings.
Sometimes, being too familiar can also be a hindrance.
After finalizing his long-term plan, Yang Ruoqian closed his laptop, feeling no urgency.
In his previous life, Chang Zhiqing remained single until his untimely death due to overwork. There was plenty of time; there was no need to rush.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I should also post a rental advertisement."
After Gao Naiyun moved out, it wasn't ideal to have an empty room.
After all, a monthly rent of 1500 yuan was a significant amount for Yang Ruoqian, who currently had tight finances.
Yang Ruoqian took out his phone, opened the intermediary platform, and began drafting his rental information.
"Hmm, the roommate is Chang Zhiqing, so the tenant can only be a female."
"According to Chang Zhiqing, they can't have bad habits and must be clean and tidy."
Ah, so troublesome.
"Deposit one, pay one, monthly rent of 1500, but cannot have overdue rent."
"Utilities are separate, free internet, fully furnished, well-decorated room, just bring your luggage."
Done.
I wonder who the next tenant will be?
