Murder the Dream Guy

The waiter came in and served some liquor.

Xiang Wan stopped outside the private dining room for a moment. After giving it a thought, she went back to the ladies to wash her hands again.

When she came back, she bumped into Tang Yuanchu who returned from purchasing a pack of cigarettes.

“Teacher Xiang?” Tang Yuanchu looked at her and then looked toward the private dining room. He revealed an expression that seemed to imply that she didn’t know how to protect her love. “Why are you here alone?”

Xiang Wan spoke with a smile after a pause, “… What’s up?”

How can you leave those two inside the private dining room?

That woman was a tough one to deal with, and she’s obviously interested in Captain Bai! Tang Yuanchu thought about all these in his head, but he felt that it was not convenient to say all these to Teacher Xiang. He quickened his steps as though in a hurry and pushed opened the door.

There were several bottles of liquor on the table. When Bai Muchuan saw Xiang Wan, he smiled at her.

“May I drink some liquor tonight?”

“Go ahead. You don’t have anything on tonight anyway. I don’t think you have the time to drink after you leave tomorrow.”

Bai Muchuan and her gaze met in mid-air.

The tacit mutual trust among them made his heart relaxed, and satisfied.

“Drink with me, too, just a little bit?”

Xiang Wan pondered for a while.

At that time, she did not feel like drinking.

But Bai Muchuan’s gaze made her unable to refuse.

“Alright!” Xiang Wan walked over, filled the glass on the table, and sat down with a laugh. “Come, I shall start first.”

“I’m next!” Xie Wanwan clinked with Xiang Wan’s glass and gulped down the liquor in one go.

It was quite late at night.

When the smell of liquor got heavy enough in the private dining room, it also marked the end of the dinner gathering.

Tang Yuanchu dropped Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan at the entrance of their neighborhood first, then proceeded to send Xie Wanwan back.

Inside the car, the smell of alcohol was also very strong.

Xie Wanwan lolled on the front passenger seat with her eyes closed, like a breathing human-sized cuddly doll.

She did not move at all.

Her alcohol tolerance seemed quite good.

With regards to this, Tang Yuanchu was actually quite surprised—

“Uurgh! Uurrggh…”

When he thought of that, Xie Wanwan moved.

She held onto her chest, her eyebrows closely knitted together as she retched several times uncomfortably.

Tang Yuanchu slowed down the speed of the car. “You want to vomit?”

Without opening her eyes or answering, Xie Wanwan heaved a puff of breath unconsciously and adjusted her position. Tang Yuanchu could now see her side profile.

“Do you want to stop somewhere?” Tang Yuanchu rolled down a window to let her get some fresh air.

“No…” Xie Wanwan groaned impatiently, “Drive faster.”

“…” He decided to keep his mouth shut.

The speed of the car increased.

“Faster.” Xie Wanwan gave a burp and instructed him without opening her eyes. “I’ll pay you more later.”

“…” Did she think she hailed a cab or something?

Tang Yuanchu was speechless. “Hey, do you still know who you are?”

“I know,” said Xie Wanwan, “Meng Liang!”

“…”

She must be really drunk!

She didn’t even know who she was!

That “Meng Liang” could be a character she acted before?

As Tang Yuanchu thought so, he turned to take a glance at her.

“D*rn!”

Just one look and he felt his brain was about to explode.

Not sure when Xie Wanwan had unbuttoned her blouse, revealing her lace lingerie as well as a view of her fair skin with deep cleavage and fine collarbone…

He gulped hard, a certain nerve in him became stiff and his nose felt warm. As though he might suffer from a nosebleed the next second…

Huff! Tang Yuanchu quickly looked away and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

“Xie Wanwan?”

“…”

“Xie Wanwan?!”

“…”

“Xie Wanwan!”

“Don’t… bother me!” Xie Wanwan’s head lolled around the seat. Suddenly, she stretched out a hand as though to grab something in the air. “Where’s the cigarette?”

She even wanted to smoke now?

Earlier when they were having dinner, Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan only drank some liquor with her. However, she was totally like a guy—she drank so much and smoked a lot of cigarettes. The way she smoked was totally like a female hooligan—she did not give a hoot about maintaining her lovely public image in front of them…

This Xie Wanwan… How did she become his goddess in the first place?

“I’m asking you a question! Where’s the cigarette…”

Xie Wanwan dragged her voice as she yelled at him impatiently.

“Wait for a while, I’m sending you back now. Once you get back, you can smoke all you want.”

Tang Yuanchu was worried she might accidentally burn herself or the car, so he refused to let her smoke.

Never did he expect that Xie Wanwan straightened herself, made a dry retch, lunged herself at him, and began to search his pockets.

“Hand over the cigarette…”

“…”

The space in the car was quite narrow. In the confined area, how would he be able to escape from her clutches?

“Even the safety belt couldn’t keep you in place…” Tang Yuanchu felt powerless. “Wait for a while, I need to find a place to stop the car.”

“… This is so annoying!”

Xie Wanwan whined and had no idea what kind of danger she could have subjected herself in her drunken state.

She pulled his shirt and searched his pockets as she ‘rummaged’ him, her delicate fingers ‘harassing’ his body which was separated only by a thin layer of clothing…

Tang Yuanchu could hear his pulse thumping wildly within his ears, but he dared not move recklessly.

“Xie Wanwan! Sit down properly, I’m driving.”

“I want… cigarettes… you better… hand them over now…”

“You! D*mn! Sit properly, I…”

He had not yet finished his words when suddenly, the ending tone stopped abruptly as if he was gagged and could not go on. His hands were stiff, almost unable to control the steering wheel.

This woman! This crazy woman—

“Where’s the cigarette?” Xie Wanwan lifted her head slowly with a confused look as she saw his face that had turned beet red.

“Let go.” Tang Yuanchu was gnashing his teeth.

“Wishful thinking… No way.” Xie Wanwan showed a half-smile as she looked at him in her drunken stupor. She was not entirely oblivious to what was happening. “Eh?… Little friend… you can’t take much teasing, do you?”

“…” Tang Yuanchu wished the ground would swallow him up.

Blood had rushed to his head and there was the sound of buzzing in his ears.

He wanted to stop the car, so he wouldn’t have to continue enduring such hardship.

However, that stretch of road was so long there was no place for him to stop the car.

“Let go and I’ll give you cigarettes.”

No choice, he decided to make peace first. It was not easy to squeeze out those words from his mouth. His voice sounded rough as if there was a lack of water.

Xie Wanwan seemed pleased with herself as she giggled, her head almost resting on his shoulders. “Do you think I’m so gullible to be taken in by your lies? Little friend, you’re too naive. When this sister stepped into society… you’re still wearing split pants…”

“I’ll say it one more time. I’m not a small kid, I’m not your little friend.”

Xie Wanwan’s eyes curved as a smile formed on her lips. “It’s not small indeed… not small…”

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something as she squinted her eyes at him. “Hey, have you… ever had a woman before?”

“…”

“Have you? I’m asking you.”

“…”

“You’re not telling? If you don’t, I will…”

“AH! No, I don’t.”

“So… you want?”

“…”

“Want to do it?”

Tang Yuanchu had as though swallowed a ball of cotton as he snorted and murmured, at a loss of what to do. He was like a confused helmsman who lost control of the steering wheel, trying to stay afloat on the sea as the pair of insolent, delicate hands was still trying to wreak havoc.

On the other hand, Xie Wanwan did not know what she had said at all. She was simply drunk and was messing around on a whim, searching for cigarettes where she came in contact with his awakened beast… She might have thought it was fun as she gave a hard squeeze.

“Oh my! You’re really naughty…”

“What—the—!”

Tang Yuanchu shuddered.

He wanted to cuss, but his voice got blocked at the throat.

The faint sound of the rustling of clothes; there was a smell of burning hormones in the car.

“Xie Wanwan, you better stop now—”

Cold sweat filled Tang Yuanchu’s forehead. When a gust of cold wind circled past him, he couldn’t help but shiver.

His voice was strained.

“Or else, I’ll kill you.”

“Come on… kill me! I don’t want to live, either.” Xie Wanwan tugged on the collar of her blouse in frustration as she sneered mockingly. Slowly, her hands fell to the sides as she rolled back to her seat. “I beg of you… just kill me… who’s the *sshole who said living is better than death… death is clean, very clean… pure and clean… I… pure and clean…”

“…”

Tang Yuanchu finally found a place to park the car.

His cheeks felt burning hot as though they had been baked.

When he swept a nettled glance at Xie Wanwan, she was already fast asleep.

Her slender, soft, shapely body beneath the clothes had undulating smooth lines at the right places… the blouse was still unbuttoned…

Once again, Tang Yuanchu’s back was covered with cold sweat…

He then gave the steering wheel a punch.

The next moment, however, he got reminded that this was not his car and hurried to check if it was alright before he hugged his head and slumped on the steering wheel.

A second later, he lifted his head and looked at Xie Wanwan.

He reached out his hands, almost trembling as he buttoned up her blouse.

It was such a simple action, yet it took so long it felt like a century.

The car stopped for about thirty minutes before his muddled head became sober.

…

Two of Xie Wanwan’s assistants were waiting anxiously in the hotel’s underground carpark.

When they saw the car coming, they rushed over to help Xie Wanwan. They also took a glance at Tang Yuanchu, who had a weird expression on him.

“Detective Tang, sorry to have troubled you.”

“It’s alright!”

Tang Yuanchu alighted and passed the car keys to one of the assistants.

That was Xie Wanwan’s car.

That meant after he had successfully sent her back, he still had to take a cab home.

“Thank you!”

The two female assistants held Xie Wanwan by the arm and left.

Throughout the whole process, Xie Wanwan’s cheeks were cherry red, and she was certainly dead drunk. There was no other reaction from her.

Of course, she would most probably forget all she had done to him while on the car, maybe?

This woman is really atrocious, he thought.

Why did she have to tease him this way?

Why would she not know anything after all she did? On what basis?!

Tang Yuanchu did not even know how he got home.

His parents were already fast asleep but left a small lamp on in the living room for him.

He opened the main door, sprinted back to his bedroom like a cat in the dark ,and locked it.

He did not switch on any light. It was pitch dark inside his room.

He was gasping for breath and felt a little ashamed. He gritted his teeth as he firmly held the swelling surge of blood flow in the darkness and thought of the beautiful scenery he could not push out of his head. Finally, he quivered as he purged the evil thoughts hidden within him… onto several pieces of tissue paper.

…

Under the same sky, different people had different stories to tell.

That night, as Xiang Wan had drunk a little wine, so she felt dizzy and actually had a good night’s sleep.

She was tired out during this emotionally draining period. Hence, she slept peacefully like a log.

On the next day when she opened her eyes, the sky was bright, and Bai Muchuan had already left.

There was a message on her mobile phone which he sent two hours ago.

“Little Xiang Wan, I’ve gone to the airport. You slept so soundly I couldn’t bear to wake you up. However, I did give you a kiss. Aye, you seem to dislike me when you’re asleep… I only gave you a peck and got brushed away instantly. Well, I’ll let you owe me first. The next time when we meet—I want you.”

“…”

This fellow!

He’s certainly good at sweet-talking.

However, he was always well-behaved and slept on the sofa.

Xiang Wan touched her lips and imagined the scene of him stealing a kiss from her before he left. In no time, her eyes were curved.

He had come and left in a hurry.

He said next time, but when would be the next time they meet again?

Bai Muchuan did not specify a time.

At this point, it was difficult for him to give a time. What she could do was only to wait.

Fortunately, although he was busy, she was busy as well.

When they were busy, they wouldn’t spend too much time missing each other.

Xiang Wan went back to bed for a little nap before stretching herself, gave a yawn, and replied to the message.

“Are you on the plane now?”

There was no reply.

Looking at the time, he should be on the plane now.

Xiang Wan put down her mobile phone and got out of bed to open the windows and her bedroom door when she saw Fang Yuanyuan shuffling across the living room.

“Morning.”

“Morning…”

Fang Yuanyuan took a glance inside the bedroom. “Captain Bai has left?”

Xiang Wan nodded her head and wanted to go to the bathroom when she noticed that Fang Yuanyuan was looking at her as though she had seen a ghost.

“My dear cousin, are you alright?”

Hm? Xiang Wan felt strange at her question. “I’m alright. What’s up?”

Fang Yuanyuan looked at her curiously and dubiously, tilting her head as she walked slowly over to Xiang Wan.

She felt that Xiang Wan seemed a little different that day than usual. She looked much better as she was no longer as pale during the past few days. Her light-colored cotton pajamas wrapped around her delicate figure as though covering her alluring curves. The two legs revealed under the skirt were straight and slender. Her fair skin looked as if it was radiating a soft pink hue that made her seem as though she was glowing.

In Fang Yuanyuan’s opinion, this should be a woman who had just been loved by a man…

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! She drew nearer to Xiang Wan, shaking her head. There was a half-smile on her face as her gaze landed on Xiang Wan’s neck and then over to her face.

“I didn’t hear anything last night, and I thought you both… Hah, never did I expect… seems like it was pretty hot, huh?”

“…” What is she blabbering about?

Fang Yuanyuan gave her a meaningful look as she whistled and went out of the bedroom without giving an explanation.

“Where did that come from?”

Xiang Wan shook her head and ambled toward the bathroom.

However, she nearly screamed the moment she saw herself in the mirror.

On her neck, there was a big patch of kiss marks—hickeys!

What the! Bai Muchuan said he only gave her a kiss but was this a kiss?

He must really be lucky as she only brushed him away and not slammed him down hard like what she did to mosquitoes!

Xiang Wan got out of her bathroom, picked up her mobile phone, and quickly typed a message.

“You jerk! What did you do to me? How can I go outside looking like this!”

Another hour later, Bai Muchuan arrived at the International Airport in the capital.

When he switched on his mobile phone and saw the message, his eyebrows were raised.

“Marking my territory!”
