Quick Transmigration: The Control Group in Sweet Novels

Qi Yang dared not recall anything that happened today.

The bedroom curtains were drawn tightly, casting an ambiguous shadow over the light. The boy leaned over her, his dark eyes filled with intense emotion.

When he lowered his head to kiss me, his lips and tongue were even more urgent than when we were in the living room, as if he was holding back a lot of energy.

Qi Yang was dizzy from his kiss.

When the takeout arrived, Chen Zuo went out for a while and came back with a paper bag in his hand.

Qi Yang wrapped herself in the blanket and saw him take out a small square object from the bag. Her face flushed and she immediately looked away.

Chen Zuo wasn't actually very skilled, but he was clever and quickly learned the techniques.

"Yangyang, why aren't you looking?" His breath tickled my back.

Qi Yang refused and buried her face in the pillow.

Chen Zuo chuckled softly, asked no more questions, and simply kissed the back of her neck even more gently.

Things got even more complicated afterward.

When it was over, Qi Yang lay weakly on the bed, her consciousness fading. Chen Zuo wrapped his arms around her from behind, his chest pressed against her back. Neither of them spoke, trying to calm their racing hearts.

Chen Zuo asked her, "Do you want to take a shower?"

Qi Yang closed her eyes and mumbled an "Mmm".

Before Chen Zuo could react, the phone on the bedside table vibrated. He reached out and picked it up, glanced at the screen, paused, then looked at the girl in his arms and explained softly, "It's Lou Yu calling."

Qi Yang didn't even open her eyes and said, "Go ahead and answer it."

Chen Zuo answered the phone, and Lou Yu got straight to the point: "Brother Zuo, don't forget the dinner gathering at seven tonight."

"..." Chen Zuo had really forgotten. He turned his head to look at Qi Yang nestled in his arms. The girl's eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes seemed to still have a bit of moisture on them. He lowered his voice and asked, "Who's there?"

"Just those few people from the class, Zhou Ziming, Yang Chengyang, why don't you invite Qi Yang too? Everyone knows each other, it'll be more lively together."

Chen Zuo hummed in agreement and said, "I'll ask her and get back to you later."

Lou Yu: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zuo put down his phone, lowered his head and nuzzled Qi Yang's hair with the tip of his nose. Seeing that she was motionless and drowsy from exhaustion, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "Lou Yu asked if you're going to the dinner party tonight?"

Qi Yang opened her eyes. She had just heard the contents of the phone call. Her voice was still a little soft. "Can I call Xiaoyu? She also likes lively atmospheres."

Chen Zuo nodded, "Of course."

Qi Yang immediately reached for her phone, "Then I'll tell her."

Chen Zuo responded, kissed her on the top of her head again, lifted the blanket and sat up, "I'm going to take a shower."

He got up, then turned back, leaned closer to Qi Yang, a mischievous smile in his eyes, and asked, "Together?"

Qi Yang rolled her eyes at him. "No way."

Chen Zuo laughed out loud and went to the bathroom in a good mood. It wasn't until the sound of water started that Qi Yang slowly sat up, found her pajamas and haphazardly put them on. The fabric brushed against her skin and sent a tingling sensation through her.

It was already evening when the two of them got ready and went out.

When they arrived at the restaurant where the gathering was being held, Ji Tingyu was already there, chatting with Lou Yu and a few others. When she saw Qi Yang come in, her eyes lit up, and when she saw the two holding hands, her smile became more meaningful.

Lou Yu sat opposite him, covering her nose and leaning back, "Ugh, this stench of love."

Chen Zuo pulled out a chair for Qi Yang to sit down, then sat down next to her, sneering, "Why don't you date? Is it because you don't want to?"

Lou Yu choked on his words, then retorted angrily, "So what if you have a girlfriend?"

Ji Tingyu moved closer to Qi Yang, nudged her with her elbow, and whispered, "What were you two doing just now?"

Qi Yang was taking the tea from Chen Zuo when she heard this, her hand trembled, and a few drops of tea spilled out. She stammered, "I... just went out for a walk."

"Oh." Ji Tingyu had only asked casually and hadn't thought much of it. She turned to get the menu and handed it over. "They've already ordered once. See if there's anything else you'd like to eat."

The meal was quite lively, and several bottles of beer were even opened on the table.

It was the first time everyone had seriously drunk alcohol since turning eighteen, and they were all eager to try.

After drinking two glasses, Lou Yu became more talkative and suddenly started recounting embarrassing stories from his childhood.

"When I was a kid, I came back from playing ball and was so thirsty. I saw a half-full glass of water on the table and grabbed it without thinking. Who knew it was baijiu (Chinese liquor)? I collapsed right after drinking it. My mom quickly carried me to the hospital. I vomited for half the night. My dad said, 'This kid might have drunk himself silly.' Luckily, I survived."

Chen Zuo slowly replied, "Are you not stupid? You don't look like it."

Lou Yu kicked him from a distance, yelling, "Shut up!"

He then narrowed his eyes and changed the subject, "But Brother Zuo has finally gotten what he wanted; his girlfriend is sitting right next to him. Shouldn't he have a few more drinks?"

Others joined in the commotion.

Chen Zuo and Qi Yang exchanged a glance, smiled helplessly, and emptied their cups.

Lou Yu immediately led the applause: "Brother Zuo is awesome!"

Qi Yang handed him tea. Chen Zuo saw it, turned his head to look at her, and smiled slightly, as if to offer silent comfort.

The topic shifted again at the table, and Qi Yang listened quietly. Suddenly, she felt a finger gently hook around her from under the table and hold her hand. Qi Yang turned her head to look at him. The boy was leaning back in his chair, listening to Lou Yu speak with a relaxed expression. His profile looked exceptionally soft in the warm yellow light of the private room.

She inexplicably recalled how, before they arrived, the boy had restrained her with his strong hands and effortlessly lifted her up... His aggressive demeanor was completely different from how he was now.

Qi Yang immediately looked away and took a sip of wine to suppress the thoughts in her heart.

After a few rounds of drinks, someone started the conversation.

"Give me a kiss, Zuo-ge. We've finally become family."

"Give me a kiss!"

Before Qi Yang could even blush, Ji Tingyu exploded, waving her hand and saying, "Get lost! All you people do is watch the show."

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Qi Yang's neck and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Everyone froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Ji Tingyu, her boyfriend is sitting right next to her, why are you kissing her?"

Ji Tingyu said matter-of-factly, "So what? I'm also Yangyang's family member."

Qi Yang chuckled and pressed Ji Tingyu's hand down to make her sit properly. "Let's see what happens. Sit down properly first, or you might fall."

Ji Tingyu chuckled and leaned towards Qi Yang. Qi Yang let her lean on her shoulder, afraid that she would fall backward.

Chen Zuo watched this scene from the side and smiled, one hand still hidden under the table, gently squeezing Qi Yang's fingers.

Qi Yang pinched him back.

It wasn't until almost nine o'clock that the group got up to pack their things.

Ji Tingyu had already taken a nap and was feeling a bit dazed. She was being helped along by Qi Yang.

Qi Yang unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her, "Drink some water first."
