Chapter 0035 – Drunkenness (2 / 2)

Qi Zhi Iu’s voice rang out coldly, like sharp eagle eyes, piercing through all hypocrisy and locking onto her tightly.

She subconsciously looked down at the dial on her wrist; fifteen minutes, indeed, was slightly long.

But she pretended to be relaxed and downplayed the situation by saying, “Is it long? Girls are supposed to take longer to go to the restroom than boys, it’s no big deal.”

An inexplicable tension filled the air as she attempted to maneuver around him and continue on her way, only to be blocked by one of his strides.

She looked up alertly and squared her shoulders, “This is the women’s restroom, so if you need to take a leak, turn right.”

She reached out and pointed to her right, but was surprised when he caught her in his hand.

What happened next was like a movie in slow motion, her back slammed against the cold, hard wall, the air around her seemed to freeze, and tension surged like a tidal wave.

“Kizhi Iu, this is a public restroom!”

She pushed down her inner panic and tried to stay calm.

“What’s going on in there?”

His low voice was inquisitive, his fingers gently stroking over her delicate neck, an imperceptible apprehension in his gaze.

“What else do you do when you go to the bathroom?”

Su Wanqing frowned slightly, puzzled and confused by this sudden questioning.

“Hmm?”

An inscrutable haze flashed in his eyes, and his fingers gently slid over her lips as if to suggest some unspoken suspicion, “You didn’t say you were waiting for me to force a confession?”

“I didn’t do anything but go to the bathroom.”

Su Wanqing did her best to maintain her composure, although there was some apprehension in her heart, the slight sweat on her palms did not betray her.

Regarding the news with Zhou Yaoshi, it wasn’t that she couldn’t talk about it, it was just that the part of it that involved Li Yanzhou made her think twice.

At the same time, she was worried that if this matter were to be known to Qi Zhi Iu, it would have an unnecessary impact on Zhou Yaoshi.

Just as she hesitated, she suddenly approached his side and sniffed lightly, a light floral wine odor mixed with the unique male scent came to her.

“Have you been drinking?”

Her voice was soft with a hint of worry.

“Well, just played a game of one-on-one.”

Qi Zhi Iu said while gently pressing the tip of his nose to her cheek, his arms tightly encircling her waist, a hint of huskiness in his voice: “When I lost, I drank a little.”

Hearing this, Su Wanqing pursued with some puzzlement, “What kind of wine, just a little bit and you’re drunk like this?”

Her question was a mixture of concern for him and curiosity about the unknown drink.

“Good wine in the stash, can’t remember the brand.”

He leaned his head on her shoulder, his arms wrapped around her like iron hoops, his tone revealing a sense of dependence and pleading, “You’ll help me win it back, okay?”

“Average ball skills and you dare to single out someone?”

Although Su Wanqing said so, facing the almost unsteady Qi Zhiyu in front of her, she almost fell with his swaying steps several times.

Just as the two were at a standstill, a figure wearing a rabbit ear headdress suddenly poked out from the side of the door, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

“Sis–“

The rabbit girl’s voice carried a hint of surprise and mischievousness, her eyes darting back and forth between the two, full of playfulness, “Yo, so it’s Young Master Qi who’s looking for you ah ……”

As soon as the words left her mouth, her eyes seemed to weave some sort of interesting connection between the two, “Young Master Gu and the others asked me to come find you guys, saying that they had been waiting for Young Master Qi for a long time and hadn’t seen anyone, and asked if they were still betting.”
