The on-site due diligence and restructuring work for the CBD company was entering its final stages. On the Friday when they were wrapping up fieldwork, everyone received wedding invitations for Gui Lili and the chairman’s ceremony next month.

Qian Fei held the bright red invitation with gold embossing, looking worriedly at Li Yifei.

His face showed no expression, appearing very calm.

Qian Fei felt his reaction was abnormal. If he truly didn’t care, he shouldn’t be this calm. He should either say something dismissively or angrily curse a few words. In any case, he shouldn’t be like this – so calm that time seemed to bend around him.

That evening when she got home, Qian Fei cooked a few dishes and called the supermarket to deliver a case of beer. Fortunately, the supermarket had started free home delivery to compete with the Carrefour at the intersection for customers.

With the meal prepared, Qian Fei pulled Li Yifei to the dining table, opened a can of beer, and raised it to him. She declared a profound life truth to comfort the dejected man in her eyes: “Brother, there are beautiful women everywhere. Let her go with whoever she wants! Don’t be secretly heartbroken!”

Li Yifei glanced at her, picking up his beer but not toasting with her. After taking a sip, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Which eye of yours saw that I was heartbroken?”

Qian Fei narrowed her eyes and patted her chest, “My mind’s eye!”

Li Yifei snorted, “Did you grow one of those? You’re already lacking enough common sense as it is!”

Qian Fei slapped the table, “I said mind’s eye! Not common sense!” She took the initiative to clink her beer can with Li Yifei’s. “Anyway, it’s good that we’ve finished the on-site work. We don’t have to go to CBD and see people rubbing salt in the wound anymore!”

Seeing her meddlesome manner, Li Yifei suddenly felt mischievous. “Sister Qian, are you especially worried that I’ll be upset after hearing about Gui Lili getting married?”

Qian Fei nodded, “Of course! You’re such a prideful person, how could you handle this?” She asked carefully, “You’re not feeling particularly bad inside, are you?”

Li Yifei quirked the corner of his mouth: “No, I’m feeling particularly bad inside!”

Qian Fei frowned, looking troubled: “Then what should we do?”

Li Yifei brought all the beers from the box to the table, lining them up. “You can keep me company drinking all of these. Once they’re gone, I’ll feel better!”

Qian Fei foolishly and boldly patted her chest, “Good! No problem! Your big sister is going all out today, risking my life to accompany a heartbroken person to the end!”

Before they knew it, a case of beer was gone.

Li Yifei said to Qian Fei: “My heartache is still there. I estimate we’ll need another case of beer to wash it away.”

Qian Fei held her head saying: “More? I’m not in great shape today. If I drink more, I think I’ll get drunk!”

Li Yifei tilted his mouth, his facial expression showing a strange half-smile: “Didn’t you say you’d risk your life to accompany a heartbroken person to the end today?”

Qian Fei frowned in distress: “But if later you have to take care of me vomiting from drinking too much, won’t that make you even more upset?”

Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, “If you throw up, I’ll willingly clean up the mess for you. How about that?”

Qian Fei slapped the table, “Give me the phone, I’ll call the supermarket!”

Soon after, the second case of beer was delivered.

Li Yifei happily opened the beer cans. He didn’t know what had gotten into him that day. Seeing Qian Fei worrying needlessly on his behalf, he did feel upset. He especially wanted to get her drunk and see if she still had the energy to fuss over this unnecessary concern after passing out.

Soon, most of the second case of beer was gone too. Qian Fei was already swaying drunkenly, but her mouth still didn’t forget to mumble advice to Li Yifei: “Young man, you’re still young, you’re still handsome, you still have the prime of your life ahead of you, you need to think positively! Things like faces are all fleeting clouds, only money is humanity’s most intimate little companion!”

Li Yifei held his forehead, resisting the urge to vigorously shake the shoulders of this meddlesome spendthrift child in front of him.

He wanted to tell her that he wasn’t upset at all, and he didn’t feel like he’d lost face either. That woman now had absolutely nothing to do with him, and it wasn’t worth spending any emotional energy on her.

But the savior complex of the person in front of him was truly invincible, firmly believing that he was just putting on a brave face while suffering inside. Listening to her continue to sway unsteadily while earnestly and nearly incoherently advising him to “face the entire mysterious, beautiful, and hopeful forest instead of fixating on one fallen and carried away broken tree”, he wanted to find something to stuff in her mouth.

He decided he couldn’t listen to her continue rambling anymore. He stood up abruptly, lifting her from in front of the dining table as she was about to fall out of her chair. He carried her in his arms, striding towards her bedroom, intending to put her on the big bed and let her quickly fall asleep.

He placed her on the bed, tucking a pillow under her head before trying to get up and leave.

However, she suddenly grabbed his arm, pulling him forcefully towards herself. Caught off guard, he lost his footing and fell, his whole body pressing down on top of her.

Their faces were suddenly extremely close. He could almost count how many of her long eyelashes there were.

She held onto him, her mouth still slurring and rambling, telling him: “If you’re sad, you need to let it out. You can’t just pretend to be calm for the sake of pride, it’s very bad for your health, you know? Even though you say you don’t care, I know, you said it yourself, you two have been together since you were abroad. You even fell out with your dad because of her. How could you not care at all when you hear she’s getting married? And you’re so concerned about saving face. So I’m telling you if you’re sad…”

Li Yifei found her chatter truly annoying. Staring at her ceaselessly moving mouth, blood rushed to his head. He had to find something to stop her mouth! What could he use? Her voice was still buzzing endlessly in his ears, disrupting his ability to analyze. With the alcohol rising, he suddenly seemed to lose his reason. No longer patient enough to find anything else, he lowered his head in frustration and directly sealed her lips with his own. He stopped her completely, preventing any more troublesome sounds from coming out.

He felt that she had an indescribable sweetness tinged with the taste of alcohol. He couldn’t help but start to suck on her lips, then couldn’t help prying open her teeth to tease the tip of her tongue.

At first, she still made “mm mm” sounds trying to speak, but later it seemed she found it pleasurable and simply closed her eyes, allowing him free rein, allowing him to plunder at will, allowing him to turn things upside down. She just relaxed and enjoyed it, cooperating.

Li Yifei felt this kiss was truly too gratifying. The wine fragrance between their lips carried a sweet taste, making him unable to stop sucking and kissing.

He didn’t even know what had come over him. Usually, he wasn’t keen on this kind of saliva-exchanging behavior, but tonight he felt it was so intoxicating it made his entire spine tingle and go numb. He couldn’t stop at all.

The alcohol made him particularly sensitive. He could feel his body undergoing rapid changes. He felt as impulsive as an inexperienced youth. He kissed her forcefully, his hands instinctively exploring under her clothes, crawling to her chest, wildly kneading. Under his palms, he languidly measured her famously soft C-cup. He could feel that she had suddenly melted like water.

He became even more impulsive, blood and alcohol rushing to his head together. His reason had been thrown far away, leaving only a raging desire burning in his body. At this moment he lost all ability to think, his body filled only with surging male instinct about to erupt.

Driven by this instinct, his lips kissed down her fair and delicate neck. His two hands trembled with urgency as he went to unbutton her clothes. When her chest was exposed, he panted heavily, kissing while asking: “Is this okay?”

But she didn’t answer.

A certain part of his body ached painfully. He held his breath and looked up at her, wanting her to tell him if what was about to happen next was allowed.

But…

He saw that she had fallen asleep.

She had, damn it, fallen asleep!!!

While getting him so aroused he felt like he was dying, she had fallen asleep!

Li Yifei nearly collapsed in disbelief!

He had made a woman fall asleep under his handsome face, strong physique, and perfect technique!

Why did her habit of falling asleep when drunk have to act up at this moment?!

Resisting the urge to strangle Qian Fei, he buttoned her shirt back up, tucked her in, turned off the light, and closed the bedroom door. Then, uncomfortable, he walked into his bathroom while undoing his belt. He closed the door, took off his pants, closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and relieved himself with his hand while recalling the feeling of kissing just now and that expanse of snowy white chest.

Afterward, Li Yifei almost pounded the wall as he laughed bitterly.

If Da Jun and the others found out about tonight’s events, he would never be able to show his face again.

Qian Fei was woken up the next day by Yao Jingjing’s phone call. As she held her head and answered the phone, she gradually realized something: she had blacked out from drinking again yesterday!

Yao Jingjing asked her on the phone what was wrong, why she sounded so listless during their weekly best friend chat, could they still have fun together in the future; Qian Fei quickly explained: “Fairy, I blacked out from drinking again last night! But it’s so strange, I seem to have had an extremely sensual, extremely exciting dream!”

Yao Jingjing let out an “Ooh!”, excitedly urging her: “Quickly tell me the specific contents of the dream! Remember, emphasize the details, you know what I mean!”

Qian Fei held her head saying: “I just dreamed of a strong man kissing me. Those kissing skills, my god, were simply inhumanly good! Just one tongue got me all worked up!”

Yao Jingjing asked in a high-pitched voice: “Then what? Then what!”

Qian Fei held her head and tried hard to remember: “Then the strong man touched me. Those fiery hands, my god, touched me so pleasurably I almost fell asleep!”

Yao Jingjing solemnly despised her: “Sister, have some sense and intelligence! You were already asleep, okay!” After despising her, she continued to ask excitedly, “What happened next? What happened next? Did you do it?”

Qian Fei pinched her temples saying: “Then I felt too comfortable so I fell asleep again in my dream!” After finishing, she also pounded her chest in anguish, “Oh Fairy, I finally had a sensual dream, how did it end up going the Inception route!”

Yao Jingjing was even more exasperated: “You unlucky child, you were so close, why did you fall asleep!”

Qian Fei suddenly felt something was off, “Wait, it was just an unfinished sensual dream, why are you so regretful? Don’t you have real-life shows with your rich lover every day?”

Yao Jingjing scolded her angrily: “Don’t you know what variety is? Also, you’re the one having daily shows! We’re not that indulgent!”

Qian Fei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry hearing this. She asked Yao Jingjing: “Why would I suddenly have this kind of dream when I was perfectly fine?”

Yao Jingjing told her decisively: “You’re lacking a man, that’s what! You’re too sexually frustrated! Quickly find a male specimen to relieve yourself!”

Qian Fei shouted a pained “Get lost!” and hung up the phone.

She looked at her phone and saw it was almost noon. She got up to wash her face and walked out of the room. Li Yifei was already up, watching TV in the living room with the volume quite low.

Qian Fei suddenly felt nervous and her cheeks started burning.

Would he have heard everything from her phone call with Yao Jingjing just now?!

She cleared her throat and asked Li Yifei with forced composure: “When did you come out to watch TV?”

Li Yifei didn’t turn around, staring straight at the TV as he said: “Just now.”

Qian Fei made an “Oh” sound, feeling slightly relieved.

“What do you want to eat for lunch?” she asked Li Yifei while rummaging through the fridge.

Li Yifei turned to look at her.

“Let’s just eat whatever we have.”

She turned around, “Why are you being so nice… to… day…”

Her voice gradually trailed off.

Because she saw that Li Yifei’s gaze as he looked at her was strange.

Her face suddenly burned hot again.

“Did you hear my phone call just now?!” she asked tremblingly.

Li Yifei looked at her expressionlessly, “If I say I didn’t, would you believe me?”

Qian Fei’s legs went weak. She held onto the fridge to barely stay standing, saying shakily: “I believe you! And you should believe it too! You didn’t hear my phone call! No, I didn’t make any phone call at all, it was all an illusion!” After saying this, she stumbled back to her room, closed the door tightly, and acted like a panicked ostrich.

Li Yifei looked at her tightly closed door, feeling a bit frustrated.

Not only had she fallen asleep yesterday under his masterful, divine, soul-stirring kisses and caresses, but today she had forgotten all about it! She thought it was a sensual dream with some strong man!

He suddenly felt that waking up before 5 AM to come watch TV in the living room, and keeping the volume low to avoid waking her up, was so not worth it!
