Chapter 65: What Are You Screaming For? I Didn’t Use Any Force.
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The aftereffect of a hangover was a splitting headache. It was as if there was a jack hanging on the back of her head, making her feel very uncomfortable.
The room was empty, and the warm sun shone in through the French windows, eagerly announcing that it was a sunny day.
On the bedside table, the WeChat notification was still ringing.
Mu Anan got a headache from the noise.
She grabbed her phone and glanced at it, realizing that the noises were from a group chat of the psychiatric hospital.
It was Dr. Chen that invited her to join the group. There were not only two interns, Mu Anan and Chen Hua, but also other doctors under Dr. Chen’s supervision.
Mu Anan scanned through the discussion. The core of the discussion was about the scheduling of shifts this week.
…..
Since the psychiatric hospital had been experiencing case theft for two days, many doctors were reluctant to work the night shift.
This year, Dr. Chen only had two interns, Anan and Chen Hua. The rest were all interns he had previously taken. They had become adept at this and were all putting off the night shift in various ways.
The most heated topic was about the night shift that night, which would be from eight in the evening to eight in the morning.
Since Mu Anan didn’t show up, they targeted Chen Hua.
Mu Anan looked through these messages, then typed a line of words expressionlessly and sent it directly.
Mu Anan: “1 can work the night shift tonight. I have something to do during the day.”
After Dr. Chen replied with an ‘okay’, Mu Anan set the group message as ‘do not disturb’ and threw her phone aside. She lay on the bed and prepared to sleep for a while more.
However, just as Mu Anan pulled the blanket up, she suddenly jolted and sat up from the bed again. She stared at the sofa in front of the bed, and some scenes flashed through her mind.
Last night, she was in a bad mood. She asked Dr. Gu to come over and drink some wine and smoke with her to relieve her frustration.
And then?
Then, she appeared to hear the sound of a car engine and found that Seventh Master had returned. She rushed out happily.
And after that?
She had no memories.
Her first reaction was to worry that she had lost control of her drunkenness last night and had said something she shouldn’t have said.
She had to ask Zong Zhengyu for clarification.
At the thought of this, Mu Anan lifted the blanket and went to the bathroom.
When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and stared at the bed.
In her mind, she was sitting on Zong Zhengyu’s body and asking, “Seventh Master, will you love me?”
Then, she shouted as if she was swearing, “Seventh Master, I love you too!”
Mu Anan was speechless.
“Did 1 confess while I’m drunk?”
Mu Anan muttered, feeling a lingering fear.
She always liked to mumble when she was drunk at night, afraid that Seventh Master would hear something he shouldn’t.
Mu Anan was panicking, and she did not want to deepen the panic by speculating on her own here.
She quickly washed up, tidied herself up, and left the room.
Mu Anan looked at the time. It was only 7:00 am. It was not yet time for the Seventh Master to go to work, so he was probably still in his room.
Mu Anan was about to knock on Seventh Master’s door when the door to the study opened.
Zong Zhengyu walked out of the room expressionlessly with his watch on his wrist. Behind him was Luo Sen, who was holding a document and reporting his work.
Mu Anan’s heart was pounding.
As Zong Zhengyu raised his eyes towards her, she tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Seventh Master, good morning.”
Her acting skills had always been good. Even though she was panicking, she could still pretend well.
Zong Zhengyu simply glanced at her and gave a faint response, glancing sideways at Luo Sen.
Luo Sen immediately understood.” I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
In the short time it took for Zong Zhengyu to speak with Luo Sen, Mu Anan gazed stealthily at Zong Zhengyu several times.
From the surface, Seventh Master was still as cold as ever. It seemed as usual.
While Mu Anan was still thinking about how to ask, Zong Zhengyu had already started walking downstairs. He had no intention of talking to her.
This was quite counterintuitive.
Mu Anan quickly followed, “Seventh…Seventh Master.”
Seventh Master said, “Hmm?”
Mu Anan asked, “What time did you come back yesterday?”
Seventh Master said, “When you were drunk.”
Mu Anan was speechless.
When answering Mu Anan’s question, Seventh Master did not even look at her as he strode down the stairs.
Mu Anan felt that she would be courting death if she tried to probe at this moment, so she decided to be straightforward, “I was drunk yesterday. Have I done something to you?”
Just as she asked, Seventh Master, who was walking ahead of her, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Without paying attention, Mu Anan bumped into the back of Seventh Master.
The hard back muscles made Mu Anan’s nose ache.
Seventh Master turned around and stared at Mu Anan.
Mu Anan was standing two steps higher than the seventh master, but she was still half a head shorter than him. In addition, she felt very guilty now, so she looked especially weak.
Mu Anan laughed awkwardly, “Seventh Master, When I get drunk, 1 lose my mind. Don’t take my words and actions seriously.”
“And then?” Zong Zhengyu crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned against the handrail of the stairs. His deep eyes were staring at Mu Anan with a mysterious look.
Mu Anan blinked.
After pausing for dozens of seconds, she immediately put her palms together and rested her forehead on her thumbs. She confessed, “Seventh Master, I was wrong! I won’t drink anymore!”
Zong Zhengyu chuckled when he saw her acting like a good girl again.
He reached out and flicked Mu Anan’s head.
Mu Anan was in pain, but she didn’t dare to make a sound. After all, she felt guilty.
Zong Zhengyu didn’t say much, he put his hand in his pocket and continued to walk downstairs.
Halfway through the walk, he saw that Mu Anan was unresponsive and said sideways, “Follow me.”
“Oh, okay.” Mu Anan responded and followed obediently.
Zong Zhengyu reached out and pinched her ear.
“Seventh Master, it hurts.”
“What are you shouting for? I didn’t even use any force.”
Mu Anan looked aggrieved.
Zong Zhengyu pinched her ear and went downstairs, “I’m going on a business trip for about three days. Don’t make trouble.”
“Why are you on a business trip again?” Mu Anan almost blurted out.
Zong Zhengyu turned his head to look at her.
“Didn’t you just go on a business trip at the beginning of the month? If there’s anything, Luo Sen can handle it for you.” Mu Anan looked aggrieved.
She didn’t like Zong Zhengyu going on business trips.
She would miss him very much if she did not see him for a few days on a business trip.
“To Liuli City.”
As soon as he said this, Mu Anan understood.
Seventh Master was going back to the Zong family, which was rumored to be a very mysterious and powerful family.
…..
Seventh Master rarely went back, but every time he went back, it was for something urgent.
If it was any other business trip, Mu Anan would throw a tantrum and spilt the beans.
But when she heard that he was going to Liuli City, she instantly put her childish temper away.
“Then can 1 go with you? I’m going to the hospital tonight. 1 can take the plane back at six in the evening.” Mu Anan asked.
Although Mu Anan couldn’t bear to part with Seventh Master, that didn’t mean she couldn’t leave him.
The main reason why she thought of this suggestion was that she wanted to ask Seventh Master about her hangover last night on the way.
She had a secret in her heart. Without a solid answer, her heart was restless.
So Mu Anan asked again, “Seventh Master, can 1?”
