Chapter 36 Pink Bed Sheets and Duvet Covers
The meal is over.
Zhao Chuan greeted Xu An and called a designated driver to take him home.
Xu An felt a little dizzy as he walked down the street with Zhang Leyao.
"Xu An, are you alright? Where do you live? I'll take a taxi to send you home." Zhang Leyao was a little worried.
"No need, this little bit of wine is fine," Xu An waved his hand in refusal.
As he spoke, Xu An suddenly grinned and said, "Did you see Zeng Jing's expression just now? It cracked me up."
"He still wants to kick his buddy while he's down."
"So what if he's a rich kid? Let him start his own business, can he earn that much in four months?"
Xu An sounded smug.
Zhang Leyao chuckled and turned to look at Xu An. Perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, Xu An was completely unlike his usual serious self.
As Zhang Leyao looked at him, a smile played on her lips, her eyebrows curved, and her eyes sparkled with light.
"Come on, buddy, I'm a multi-millionaire now. Here's your chance to take a walk with a multi-millionaire," Xu An said casually, his breath reeking of alcohol.
Seeing Xu An stumble, Zhang Leyao quickly grabbed his arm, saying, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, this little bit of wine is no problem." Xu An waved his hand dismissively.
......
the next day.
Xu An sat up in bed, pressed his temples, and felt dizzy.
He paused, glancing around at his surroundings.
"Holy crap, where did they get me?"
The walls of the entire room were covered with pink wallpaper.
He looked down and saw the fans' bed sheets and blankets, with a faint fragrance of women wafting into his nostrils.
"This isn't Zhang Leyao's bed, is it?" Xu An was startled. He lifted the blanket and found himself wearing only a pair of shorts.
Startled, he quickly pulled the blanket over himself.
"Hiss!" He gasped, his pupils dilating.
"No, no way!"
He lowered his head, glanced at his bare upper body, and tried hard to recall what had happened last night.
He only remembered that after finishing his meal, he and Zhang Leyao walked down the street together, and they seemed to have run into Chen Xiaoyu along the way.
He shook his head, feeling as if his head was filled with water.
He couldn't quite remember what happened after that.
"Drinking leads to trouble; the ancients were right."
Just as he was annoyed, his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhang Leyao.
As soon as the call connected, a playful voice came from the other end: "Oh, the great writer Xu has woken up?"
"Do you remember what happened last night?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An's eyes widened and his pupils contracted. Could it be... no way!
"I knew you wouldn't remember; you threw up all over yourself."
"Do you know how much effort it took for me to bring you back by myself? I was sweating profusely."
After venting her frustrations, she changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, I washed and hung up your clothes, but they're probably still damp. I've already sent a delivery person to bring you a set of clothes; just open the door and get them when they're dry."
"There's no food at home. You'll either have to order takeout or go out to eat."
After she finished speaking, Xu An said awkwardly, "Last night, I didn't do anything out of line, did I?"
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Leyao's face flushed red instantly on the other end of the phone, and she said somewhat flusteredly, "Of course not!"
"What are you thinking!"
"I'm busy now, bye."
"beep."
The phone hangs up.
Xu An scratched his brow, looking distressed. "Damn, something's not right here. Did I really do something?"
"Could it be that what I said that night really came true, and that I actually had a drunken one?!"
"That's impossible! When I'm drunk, I just go to sleep, don't I?"
Xu An sat on the bed with a pained expression, racking his brains to recall.
Meanwhile, Zhang Leyao, who was at the company, felt her cheeks burning.
Recalling how she took the drunk Xu An back last night, Zhang Leyao had to help him take off his shirt and pants because he vomited all over himself.
Xu An was lying naked on her bed when her eyes involuntarily glanced at a certain protruding area, which startled her so much that she quickly pulled the blanket over herself.
This was the first time she had ever seen this in her life...
"Le Yao? Why is your face so red all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell?" Sister Li frowned slightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Leyao blushed like a student caught stealing food by the teacher.
She hurriedly shook her head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm fine, Sister Li, don't worry, I just suddenly feel a little hot, I'll go get some water."
Watching her fleeing figure, Sister Li looked up at the central air conditioning and asked, a little puzzled, "Is it hot? I don't feel hot at all."
-
Put on your clothes and pants.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Xu An straightened his collar. "It fits quite well."
"Hmm, not bad, very handsome." Xu An smugly admired himself in the mirror.
I went outside, randomly picked a shop, and had some porridge.
He felt more comfortable after he had something in his stomach.
Sitting in the shop, after finishing his porridge, he stared blankly outside.
"I don't think I did anything last night..."
He scratched his head hard. "Sigh, I'll just have to wait until Zhang Leyao gets off work before asking her in person."
"One should take responsibility for one's actions. I, Xu, am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others and then reneges on my promises."
Thinking of this, he sent a message to Zhang Leyao.
What time do you get off work?
After waiting a while and receiving no reply, he added another message.
Message me when you get off work.
Xu An put away his phone and got up to leave.
[Current task progress: 43%]
I checked the task progress.
I must say, the task progress is actually going quite fast.
With this event, several topics trended on social media, bringing many new fans to "Covering the Sky".
Among them were passersby who had never read the novel before.
Of course, not everyone likes to read it; some people give up after reading a few chapters.
However, the position of "Covering the Sky" is unshakable, and it remains at the top of various lists.
Xu An initially completed the mission for the million-dollar reward. Now, having achieved financial freedom even before completing the mission for his second identity, he is looking forward to the new identity that will be revealed after this mission is completed.
When Zhang Leyao saw Xu An's message, it was already after get off work.
It had already gotten dark.
The streetlights along the road were already on, emitting an orange-yellow glow.
Sorry, I just saw your message. Where are you now? Have you eaten? I'll come find you.
After replying to this message, Zhang Leyao quickly changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and ran outside.
"Le Yao, where are you rushing off to?"
Seeing her in such a hurry, Sister Li asked her a question.
Without turning her head, Zhang Leyao said, "Sister Li, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Watching her hurried figure disappear into the distance, Sister Li smiled and said, "It seems this girl has really come to her senses."
"I need to find an opportunity to ask her and help her vet her. This girl is naive; I don't want her to be fooled by those scoundrels outside."
