How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Chapter 84 I'll Need It Tonight! (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)

[Achievement unlocked: A reliable man.]

[Reward: 10 achievement points and 2000 RMB cash!]

At this moment, such an achievement pops up, which seems to spoil the mood a bit, but fortunately the system is not an annoying thing and won't suddenly "ding" and startle you.

The only noticeable vibration is when my phone vibrates to let you know that the money has arrived, which makes me feel warm all over.

But to be honest, the wind is a bit strong, though it's not that it's cold.

Instead, it blew her hair all over her shoulders, making her chin a little itchy. I wonder if Godai can cure an itchy neck.

He had to do it himself, gently brushing aside the long hair that was bothering him. He subconsciously looked down and happened to see the shirt under the other person's coat.

When did one of the buttons on her collarbone come undone? Is she hot?

He didn't know if Shu Ying was hot or not, but his gaze instinctively went to investigate, as if he had suddenly slipped into a bottomless snow valley.

Fair and delicate skin, a perfectly round and full shape...

The edges of red lace are faintly visible.

Damn, my eyesight has improved a bit.

"Ahem." Xu Yan coughed awkwardly, which caught Shu Ying's attention.

Her thoughts drifted away from the sound of the river lapping against the shore. She looked up slightly, but didn't sit up straight.

"uncomfortable?"

Xu Yan shook his head and pretended to take a sip of wine. "You seem very hot."

"hot?"

Shu Ying looked puzzled, but soon, the woman, who hadn't drunk too much, realized something. She lowered her head slightly and saw that her buttons had come undone at some point.

Swish!

It happened so quickly, in the blink of an eye.

This made Xu Yan realize that even this woman, who was as cold as an iceberg, could have such a shy moment.

His face flushed rapidly, and he hurriedly got up to button his shirt.

Unable to quickly calm the blush on her face, she could only glare at Xu Yan with slight dissatisfaction.

Xu Yan's gaze was already elsewhere. "After all, he's a gentleman. I'm just kindly reminding you. You're welcome."

"So I should thank you?"

It sounded a bit like gritting your teeth.

"Hehe, no need to be so polite."

"Heh heh heh..." In the end, he didn't finish the curse, but it was enough for Xu Yan to gain half a sense of accomplishment.

Sigh, one of the perverse pleasures of men is watching an ice queen fall into depravity.

Distracted by Xu Yan, she was unable to lean on his shoulder again, but the feeling remained.

It's like saving a precious save point in a game.

After that, we just looked at the river and chatted briefly, without going into any deep conversation.

Xu Yan adhered to the same principle as last time, and did not inquire about the other party's family, work, or other such matters. If you take the initiative to learn too much, you will only get more and more involved.

The more curious you were at the time, the more painful it was when the relationship broke down, and you might even find yourself replaying those details in the mind every night without realizing it.

Don't ask Xu Yan why he knows so much; it's just that he can't control his emotions.

The two of them drank about seven or eight bottles of beer together, with Xu Yan drinking less and Shu Ying drinking more.

After all, he doesn't have this or that kind of trouble, or maybe he's just really young and can't hold onto too many worries; they're easily blown away by the wind.

"Do you still want to drink?"

Xu Yan didn't pick up any more wine; there were still four or five bottles left in the bag.

As if preparing for a rainy day and not having had enough to drink, Shu Ying asked.

Xu Yan looked at the other person's condition. The originally pale face was now flushed, and even the eyes looked a bit hazy.

He shook his head. "That's enough for now. My holiday ends tomorrow."

Shu Ying felt that the world in front of her had become much blurrier, which made it seem more pleasing to the eye.

"oh."

She was somewhat dissatisfied when she heard the other party express a desire to back down, and her lips pursed.

This action rarely occurs on her, and when Xu Yan glimpsed it by chance, it gave him a fleeting impression, though it might just be an illusion.

After all, such women are prone to exhibiting contrasting traits.

She pointed to the plastic bag next to her, looking at Xu Yan with dissatisfaction, "But we haven't finished drinking yet..."

Xu Yan couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "Didn't you say you'd take any leftovers home?"

"But..."

Her hair swayed slightly in the wind as she turned her head to look intently at Xu Yan.

His expression was very serious, but also a little confused.

It wasn't just that she was several years younger; for a moment, Xu Yan thought he was hallucinating, as if he wasn't seeing a mature, successful woman, but rather a child throwing a tantrum.

"I'm going home... and there's no one to drink with me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and then scrutinized the young woman in front of him, wondering whether she was truly drunk or just pretending to be tipsy.

"Sister, are you being coquettish?"

"no."

She instantly dropped her previous expression and tried to regain her cool demeanor, but the lingering blush on her cheeks made this coolness fragile.

The moon is hidden in the water, and the flowers bloom in the mist.

Xu Yan sighed softly and told her, "I know you still want to drink, but it's not convenient, I have to go home."

The wording seemed euphemistic, but Shu Ying could understand the tone.

This little boy seems easy to talk to and is usually not very serious, but when he makes up his mind, you can clearly feel it.

Of course, that includes myself.

I understand it, which makes me even more upset.

The bright moonlight shone on the boy's black hair. She refused to admit defeat, and at least refused to acknowledge that she was now more vulnerable.

"Then you go back first."

Xu Yan stared straight at her, unfazed by her somewhat annoyed gaze.

"And what about yourself?"

"I want to finish it."

"oh."

Xu Yan stood up decisively, put his left hand in his pocket, turned around, and prepared to leave.

But the moment he actually got up and left his seat, Shu Ying reached out and accurately grabbed Xu Yan's forearm.

The boy lowered his head.

Her narrow eyes gleamed. "Are you really leaving now?"

Xu Yan used his free right hand to easily pull away the other person's hand that was gripping his forearm.

The moment she fell limply to the ground, Shu Ying was instantly reminded of that day many years ago.

The moment I heard that news.

Back then, when her phone fell to the ground, her hands, just like now, were adrift, unable to find a place to rest or grasp anything.

From then on, he would come to Liangjiang River many times every year, but he could not grasp anything or find anything back.

Just as she bit her lower lip...

A pair of hands gripped her thin shoulders from behind. She instinctively wanted to resist, but then she heard a familiar voice.

"I remember the payment wasn't settled today. You said I could name my price, right?"

'

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my somewhat chaotic emotions.

The woman, who could not be manipulated or looked down upon, said in a deep voice, "How much money do you want?"

One minute she calls herself "older sister," the next she draws a clear line between them.

She'd rather be decisive and straightforward; she never liked dragging things out.

Let's see who's more ruthless.

The boy behind him said, "It's free."

That sounds kind of funny. One minute she's ready to leave, the next she's pretending to be gentle... Does she really think she's some young girl?

She tilted her head slightly, a disdainful smile playing on her lips. "Would you dare take the rest?"

Xu Yan blinked, her eyes clear and bright, filled with starlight.

"Why wouldn't you dare to take it? Sister, I'm very brave."

"Hehe, so what do you want?"

She stared intently into the other person's eyes; at that moment, whether her neck hurt or not was no longer important.

Xu Yan lowered his voice, inhaling the faint fragrance of her hair and neck, and said, "Let's go home now..."

The other person's breath fell on my neck, tickling me and making my skin feel hot.

But instead of feeling foolish, I was annoyed, thinking, "This is so boring."

"I haven't finished speaking yet, don't rush me."

He continued in a low voice, "Change into your most daring pajamas and take a picture of it for me."

'

'

moment.

The wind grew louder, but the entire riverside road became unusually quiet.

All the emotions I had just built up were instantly disrupted, like wild grass by the riverbank, scattered by a wave of tide.

She didn't know how to answer anymore, while Xu Yan smiled and stood up, patting her fragile shoulder that seemed about to collapse at any moment.

"I think someone as smart as you, sister, should know what it means to be the boldest..."

"Besides, a boss this big... surely wouldn't renege on their debts, right?"

"you...!"

Can't help it.

The woman was truly enraged this time; she stood up abruptly and glared at him angrily.

However, compared to the previous anger, this time there was more shame and annoyance, as if she hadn't expected Xu Yan to offer such a reward.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yan asked knowingly, even adding fuel to the fire: "Is it that you dare not, or that you are unwilling?"

She took a deep breath, her already ample chest heaving violently.

Are you sure you want this payment?

Xu Yan replied, "Yes, I'm sure. I'll go back and change right now. I need it tonight, it's urgent."

"you!"

Shu Ying had forgotten how she got home. She only remembered that the designated driver was driving, and she was in the back seat, her hands clenched tightly, even shaking uncontrollably.

As the car pulled into the garage, she went upstairs alone, her blush lingering for a long time.

Upon entering the house, the noise caught the attention of the girl who was sitting alone on the sofa.

"Have you been drinking?"

She seemed to notice the unusual color on Shu Ying's face.

Shu Ying snapped out of her reverie and unconsciously bit her lip. "Hmm...you're still awake?"

The girl answered softly, "I'm going to sleep now."

"...Okay, then you should get some rest."

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty and didn't dare to meet the girl's eyes.

It seemed as if they were afraid of letting the other party notice something unusual about their condition.

"Bang."

Watching the retreating figure hurry into the room, the girl frowned, a rare occurrence for her.

After entering the room, Shu Ying did not feel any better; her fever continued to rise, just like an inflammation or a fever.

Even my legs felt weak, and the moment I sat on the bed, I felt as if all my strength had been drained.

The words kept echoing in her mind as she struggled to lift her head.

The wardrobe not far in front of me seems to have become Pandora's box.

She knew this was abnormal, and she knew she shouldn't agree to such a request no matter what, but why did it slip out of her control, step by step?

She walked forward and opened the wardrobe door.

Amidst the dazzling array of clothing, my gaze fell upon the innermost section.

Black, white, red...

Like silk, with lace trim and openwork lines...

She bit her red lips tightly.

He reached up and brushed the hair from his forehead, only to find his palms were covered in sweat.

This shame and unprecedented thrill made her feel as if she were between heaven and hell.

"Buzz".

My phone vibrated.

She looked down and saw the message.

Are you home yet?

[It will be shipped as soon as it arrives.]

Hurry up.

That bastard...!

P.S.: Just wanted to let everyone know that I might think there are some issues with the plot, but I didn't mean to toxicate you. If anything made you uncomfortable, I'll apologize immediately with a third update. I hope this makes you feel better. (This P.S. is free, so consider it a good thing.)
