Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Using the excuse of going to the restroom, Yun Qiao and Shen Shiyu successfully slipped out of the private room.

When Shen Shiyu arrived at the door of VIP room 2306, she was about to knock when the door was opened from the inside.

"cloud……"

The words he was about to say stopped abruptly when he saw Shen Shiyu standing at the door.

Li Ruoyan's face, though wearing a mask, appeared slightly stiff.

But then, in the next second, Shen Shiyu shouted:

"Qiaoqiao, hurry inside, don't let anyone see us."

His eyes lit up again, and he turned his head to look for Yun Qiao.

My mood finally improved after seeing Yun Qiao appear as well.

"Come in quickly."

He stepped aside to make way for them.

Shen Shiyu pulled Yun Qiao inside.

The private room wasn't too big or too small, only about 20 or 30 square meters.

The curtains were drawn tightly shut.

Li Ruoyan seemed to have already ordered the food; there were markings on the menu on the table.

"I ordered according to your usual tastes, you don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind," Shen Shiyu replied quickly.

Li Ruoyan cautiously turned her head to look at Yun Qiao, as if asking for her opinion.

It looks exactly like a puppy that has been abandoned.

Yun Qiao felt somewhat guilty.

Although she felt very sorry, she would soon have to apologize to this person again...

Do you have any alcohol?

Li Ruoyan was surprised, not expecting her to suggest drinking. "You want to drink?"

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, how about we have a drink to liven things up?"

Li Ruoyan was a little confused by her words, but seeing that she didn't seem to mind being around him, he was also pleased. He quickly nodded, his voice becoming a little lighter:

"Okay, I'll let them go."

The three took their seats, and the wine was quickly served.

It's not a high-proof liquor; it's mild enough for even a child to drink.

However, Yun Qiao didn't care; she hadn't originally intended to get the two of them drunk.

After all, when it comes to alcohol tolerance, she can't compare to Shen Shiyu...

Pretending to pour them wine, Yun Qiao subtly placed the medicine that the system had given her beforehand into the colored wine glasses.

Shen Shiyu kept talking, while Li Ruoyan kept staring at Yun Qiao's face.

Neither of them noticed Yun Qiao's subtle actions.

A few minutes later, Shen Shiyu started complaining of the heat.

She first tugged at her collar, then slumped onto the dining table, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

"Qiaoqiao... I'm so hot... Is the air conditioner broken...?"

Yun Qiao glanced at her, then glanced at Li Ruoyan.

Li Ruoyan's situation wasn't much better.

In order not to lose face in front of his beloved, he tried hard to suppress the heat in his body, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His eyes were red as he looked at Yun Qiao, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "Yun Qiao, are you hot?"

The buckwheat noodles remained unchanged.

"I'm feeling a bit hot too. I'll go call a waiter."

Just as she was about to get up, Li Ruoyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"no--"

"Don't go out. We've probably been drugged. What if something happens if you go out?"

He held her wrist tightly, whether out of fear that she might encounter danger outside, or out of fear that he and Shen Shiyu might be alone in a room and things might easily escalate into something more intimate, he didn't know.

Or perhaps they fear both.

Yun Qiao looked down at the hand gripping her wrist, and the guilt welled up in her heart again.

"Li Ruoyan..."

"Qiaoqiao... I'm so hot, can I hug you?"

Before Yun Qiao could finish speaking, she was suddenly hugged by Li Ruoyan.

Because he had been drugged, his body temperature was abnormally high.

Things that were previously too daring to do are now being done boldly.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Qiao was distracted, and he had already turned his head to nuzzle against her neck, his lips trying to press against hers.

The grip on her shoulders tightened.

Seeing things spiral out of control, Yun Qiao's earlier guilt vanished instantly.

She shoved Li Ruoyan away abruptly.

Caught off guard, he staggered back a few steps, his back hitting the sharp corner of the table.

"Um……"

A sharp pain shot through him, and he briefly regained consciousness.

Realizing what he had just done, he was immediately filled with fear and guilt:

"I'm so sorry, Yunqiao, I just... I just..."

He had just heard Yun Qiao call his name, and the desire he had suppressed for so long instantly spiraled out of control...

But he couldn't tell Yunqiao any of this.

Yun Qiao already looked down on him, and he couldn't let her look down on him any further...

It must be because he did something wrong that Yunqiao was disappointed in him, which is why her attitude towards him changed so drastically after the college entrance examination.

They were originally very close friends. Yun Qiao even said that she liked boys with his personality, who were gentle and humble, unlike Chi Zhou, who was a hot-tempered young master.

Everyone at school loves Chi Zhou, but only Yun Qiao sees him...

"Yunqiao, I'm so sorry, I can take responsibility for this!"

"Who asked you to take responsibility?" Yun Qiao couldn't help but interrupt.

Anyone who didn't know better would think something had happened between them.

In fact, they didn't even hold hands...

Her gaze shifted to Shen Shiyu, who had moved from the dining table to the sofa, her clothes disheveled.

"Please look after her for me while I go out to find someone."

"You, you don't need to go out. I can call my agent to come over."

"Okay, then you hit it."

Yun Qiao stood still, quietly watching him go to find his phone.

He had just turned to look for his phone when suddenly, Yun Qiao pushed him hard from behind, causing him to lose his balance and fall straight towards Shen Shiyu.

Yun Qiao no longer cared what happened to the two of them afterward.

After doing all this, she turned and left the private room, locking the door from the outside.

Late day should arrive soon.

She needs to make room for Chi Zhou quickly.

Otherwise, if something really happened between Shen Shiyu and Li Ruoyan, not to mention Chi Zhou would kill her.

Shen Suwei also wants to kill her...

Yun Qiao was thinking this when she locked the door and turned her head—

"..."

Damn it, she knew things wouldn't go so smoothly with her unlucky constitution.

Why is Shen Suwei here?! Wasn't he away on a business trip...?

Shen Suwei looked somewhat tired, and his usually meticulous and proper clothes now had a slightly disheveled collar.

But none of that matters. What matters is that his eyes are deep and intense, and he is staring intently at her.

To be precise, I was staring at her neck.

What happened to her neck?

Yun Qiao panicked a little and subconsciously touched her neck.

Li Ruoyan didn't bump into it just now.

Although she didn't know what Shen Suwei was looking at, or why he had appeared here by such a coincidence, Yun Qiao still wanted to take a gamble for her own life. What if he didn't know there were people in the house behind him?

In less than a second, Yun Qiao forced a smile:

"What a coincidence, Mr. Shen, what are you doing here?"

Shen Suwei did not answer.

But he walked towards her step by step.

He walked slowly, but every step felt like it was stepping on Yun Qiao's heart, making her already flustered heart even more anxious.

"Shen... Shen... uh!"

As soon as Yun Qiao called out, he suddenly grabbed her neck.

To be precise, it wasn't pinching.

It was a collision.

But the force was great; his thumb slid across her skin, very heavily.

He rubbed it over and over again.

It looked like something was being wiped away.

Yun Qiao's neck skin was delicate to begin with, and it hurt a little when he rubbed it like that.

She tried to communicate with him:

"Mr. Shen, is there something dirty on my neck?"

He paused slightly, and after a long while, he gave a low "hmm".

Still not speaking.

Yun Qiao chuckled, trying to ease the tension:

"I didn't know, thank you Mr. Shen. Is it clean now?"

Shen Suwei raised his eyes and looked at her with a deep gaze.

Yun Qiao was feeling guilty under his gaze when suddenly, a muffled groan came from behind her.

There's something ambiguous about it.

Shen Suwei frowned.

Yun Qiao's face stiffened, and she realized something was wrong.
