Both of them had drunk just enough to feel a bit tipsy.
If they were to do that sort of thing in such a bewildered and infatuated state, they would inevitably make some considerable noise without being able to control themselves.
If there were no one else in the room, it wouldn't matter.
But there was the landlord upstairs, and Ruoruo was also in the back.
To avoid embarrassment, Wang Xiaolong nodded, then followed Xiao Mei into the adjacent room.
As soon as the door closed, he wrapped his arms around that slender waist once more.
Yet just as he was about to lean down for a kiss, Xiao Mei put her delicate finger between their lips, "I've been busy all day and my body is covered in a mix of oil and sweat, I'm going to wash."
"No need!"
The encouragement from the alcohol and the deep kiss they had shared earlier had already set Wang Xiaolong ablaze with passion; he was hardly willing to let the delicate beauty in front of him slip away.
