Xu Yuanfei reached out to touch his forehead. How can his hangover be so bad?

When her cold fingertips landed on his forehead, he frowned slightly and raised his hand to grab her wrist, firmly locking her hand on his forehead.

She exerted a little force and tried to break free.

At this moment, Jing Hanchuan slowly opened his eyes. “You’re here…”

His voice was hoarse, but it still sounded fatal.

“Yeah.”

“You’re leaving?” His eyes were very red, and his voice was very soft.

Xu Yuanfei was speechless for a moment. Her heart softened, and she no longer thought about leaving. “How much did you drink tonight?”

“Just a little.”

“I’ll go buy you some hangover medicine…” Xu Yuanfei shook her arm, signaling him to let go.

But Jing Hanchuan tightened his grip even more. He looked at her dark gray eyes. His fingers were hot, and the scorching heat wrapped tightly around her wrist.

It was as if a fire was burning in her heart, making her flustered.

“It’s late. It’s time to go back.”

He seemed not to hear Xu Yuanfei’s words and muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, he was lying alone in this empty house. No matter who saw him, they would be reluctant to leave. Moreover, Xu Yuanfei already had improper thoughts about him.

“I’m not leaving. I’m really just going to get you some hangover medicine.”

“You’re not leaving?” Jing Hanchuan looked at her, and his fingers unintentionally brushed past her wrist gently. “You…

“Are you staying with me tonight?”

Xu Yuanfei was speechless and didn’t know how to answer.

But when she met his gaze, she gritted her teeth. If he stayed here alone, it was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen. “Okay.”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jing Hanchuan let go of her wrist and slowly smiled…

Xu Yuanfei felt as if her heart had been shot.

Her heart was throbbing so much that it was suffocating.

…

There were only some ingredients for making desserts and cakes in the kitchen, and there were no conventional drugs stored. Xu Yuanfei could only walk out of the building and brave the wind and snow.

She originally wanted to buy some hangover medicine, but she recalled that her family seemed to have a very effective ancestral hangover medicine. She remembered some of the main ingredients, but she had never cooked it before and didn’t know how to start. She used the excuse of calling her father to report that she wasn’t going home to consult him.

It was almost one in the morning.

At the time, Master Xu was leaning against the sofa and watching a war drama. He was already sleepy and was a little surprised when he received the call. “Why aren’t you back yet?”

“My friend drank too much tonight. I might not be going home.”

“Which friend?”

“The one from high school, she always likes to eat at our house…” Xu Yuanfei could only guiltily pull her friend out to block the bullet.

“Oh.” A certain someone never imagined his daughter was lying at all. He didn’t suspect anything and agreed immediately.

“Dad, she drank too much, and I want to make her some hangover soup. How should I make it?”

“It’s so late, and you want to make soup?” A certain someone raised his eyebrows. He had drunk too much in the past, but this girl had never cared about him. When she was young, she had even said that he smelled bad and refused to hug him.

“Yeah, I’m not sleepy anyway.”

“But it’s too late now. I don’t know if you can buy so many ingredients. The main thing is…” Master Xu didn’t hide anything at all. He told her about the family’s ancestral hangover recipe and even reminded Xu Yuanfei of many things to take note of.

Xu Yuanfei happily wrote them one by one. Before hanging up, she didn’t forget to say, “She’s just my little white mouse. When I learn it, I’ll cook it for you when you’re drunk in the future.”

She knew her father too well. Just a few little sweet words could make him smile.

As expected, the person on the other end laughed loudly. “Daughters are still the most considerate. Unlike that brat Xu Yao, he either goes out to fool around with his friends after work or stays in his room to play games.”

Xu Yuanfei smiled bitterly, feeling uneasy.

Master Xu was in a good mood. He got into bed and even showed off his daughter’s thoughtfulness to his wife. But the person beside him only kicked him. “It’s the middle of the night. If you’re not sleeping, go to the guest room tonight.”

Master Xu didn’t take it to heart. He even felt that his wife’s feet were cold. He reached out to cover her feet while full of anticipation for his daughter’s love and hangover soup.

…

On the other side, Xu Yuanfei had already returned to Jing Hanchuan’s condo.

She opened the door and entered. When she stepped in, she was almost scared out of her wits.

The person who should have been lying on the bed was actually leaning against the door, bending his body slightly and turning his head to look at her. His bloodshot but extremely bright eyes simply had a soul-stirring charm.

“I thought you left.” His voice was hoarse, and it was extremely different from his usual voice.

“Didn’t I agree not to leave? Are you feeling better?”

“Not good at all…” He leaned over slightly.

“My head hurts.

“My throat is sore.

“I feel uncomfortable all over.”

His voice was too soft, like a big sick cat. Xu Yuanfei wished she could go up and stroke him.

“Alright, I’ll go make you some soup.” Xu Yuanfei turned around and closed the door.

Just as she turned around, the person standing beside her suddenly stepped forward. She was in the middle of turning, and her shoulder pressed against his chest.

He bent down, and his hot breath mixed with his seductive and provocative aura blew against the side of her neck, startling her so much that the blood in her entire body instantly surged wildly.

“Is it snowing outside?”

His voice was right beside her ear, slamming into her heart.

Xu Yuanfei felt that she was really about to suffocate.

“There’s water on you.” Jing Hanchuan reached out and gently brushed away the water droplets melted from the snow on the top of her head. His movements were very light, and his fingertips passed through her hair gently.

Xu Yuanfei seemed to hear her own heartbeat.

With his movements, the palpitations became more and more intense.

Jing Hanchuan’s slender and soft fingers rubbed against the top of her head gently, as if he was brushing something away, but it was more like an intimate touch.

“Have you been busy recently?”

“There’s a lot of business in the store, so we’re not answering phone and online orders for the time being. We don’t have time to make deliveries.”

Jing Hanchuan’s voice lingered in his throat. “I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore.”

Xu Yuanfei turned her head to look at him. Why would he have such thoughts?

Jing Hanchuan’s fingertips gently brushed past her forehead, as if he was wiping something away.

“…” Xu Yuanfei didn’t know how to answer him and hesitated.

“Is it troublesome for you to come here so late?”

“It’s fine.”

“Do you care so much about every customer?” Jing Hanchuan asked softly. He was bending down, and his gaze was almost level with hers. His breathing was soft and entangled her…

There was always a hint of ambiguity.

“No.”

Jing Hanchuan raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head again. “Then, am I special?”

“…”

“Pretty special.”

He smiled.

Her heart was in a mess, and she was completely flustered.

She had only smelled the lingering smell of alcohol on him. Why was her entire body feeling light and fluttery, even more so than when she was drunk?

She lowered her head and carried the convenience bag into the kitchen. According to her father’s instructions, she washed the ingredients one by one and boiled them. Jing Hanchuan leaned against the wall and stared at her.

Because he was drunk, he exuded a lazy aura and became increasingly seductive.

Xu Yuanfei took a deep breath. How can he become so good at flirting after drinking too much? It’s going to kill me.

Jing Hanchuan stared at her profile, and his throat moved…

It was starting to feel dry and itchy again.

I want to kiss her.
