Cry louder, I can't hear you.

"Li Ruoyan, would you like a drink?"

"Huh?" Li Ruoyan was taken aback.

Yun Qiao released the doorknob, smiled at him, and said, "If you're not sleepy, why don't you have a drink with me?"

He paused, then asked, "Do you drink?"

Before the words were even finished, Li Ruoyan hurriedly replied, "Yes!"

Yun Qiao raised an eyebrow, beckoned him over, and then turned and walked into the room first.

The system couldn't help but log in: [Are you really planning to give up?]

Yun Qiao did not reply.

There are only four hours left, how much more can I do?

Just then, she suddenly remembered that she had never drunk alcohol in either of her two lives.

That's such a shame.

You have to try it before you die.

Yunqiao called the hotel staff to have the wine brought up.

Yun Qiao changed into a looser set of clothes and sat casually on the floor in front of the coffee table, pouring wine for the two of them.

Li Ruoyan stood there awkwardly, not daring to join them in sitting down.

I was afraid Yunqiao would find it offensive.

After all, it's late at night, and we're in a hotel room.

A man and a woman drinking together alone always feels a bit ambiguous.

He didn't know what Yun Qiao was thinking, but faced with this situation, he really couldn't help but think about other things.

"What are you standing there for?"

Yun Qiao pointed to the floor opposite the coffee table, "Sit down."

Li Ruoyan obediently went to sit down.

"Yunqiao, are you unhappy?"

"drink wine."

Yun Qiao picked up her cup and touched it to the cup in front of him, then took a big gulp.

But she seriously underestimated the potency of the alcohol.

I had just taken a sip when I started coughing uncontrollably.

"Cough cough—!"

His face turned red from the choking.

Are you alright?

Li Ruoyan hurriedly got up to help her catch her breath, but Yun Qiao raised her hand to stop her, "Drink yours."

When she made the call, she specifically asked the staff to bring the hotel's highest alcohol content and most expensive liquor.

He just wanted to die in a drunken stupor.

That's perfect, getting Li Ruoyan drunk will prevent him from discovering anything.

When I wake up, I won't remember her at all.

The system said that outsiders like her, dressed in such attire, originally had no identity.

Whether she leaves successfully on her mission or is eliminated in a failed mission, all traces she left behind will be erased after she disappears.

No one will remember her.

"Yunqiao, are you alright?"

Yun Qiao overestimated her alcohol tolerance.

She had planned to drink all the wine, preferably getting Li Ruoyan drunk first.

But as it turned out, she could only drink one glass before she couldn't sit still.

"Why don't you just not drink it—"

"Li Ruoyan, there's something I want to say to you."

Li Ruoyan paused slightly, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

But a glimmer of hope also rose in his heart, because Yun Qiao's attitude towards him had changed these past two days.

It was as if they had returned to their high school days.

Is Yun Qiao going to confess to him?

"You speak, and I'm listening."

"Actually, back in high school," Yun Qiao said, resting her chin on her hand and trying to stay awake, "everything I said was a lie."

"...What?"

"I was just teasing you; I don't actually like you."

Li Ruoyan's eyelashes trembled, and the heart that had just risen instantly plummeted to the bottom.

His lips moved, and after a long while, he finally found his voice:

"...Why are you making fun of me?"

Ke Yunqiao did not reply.

The alcohol took effect, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her hand slipped, and her head slammed onto the coffee table with a "Duang".

Li Ruoyan was startled, "Yun Qiao!"

He got up, went over to her, and helped her up. "Are you alright?"

Her forehead was red from being hit.

When Yun Qiao got drunk for the first time, she felt dizzy, and when she opened her eyes, she felt even more dizzy.

Everything in front of my eyes is blurry, and my eyes hurt.

She closed her eyes.

The closer she got to death, the stronger her will to live became.

She began to regret giving up those three days to plan her trip.

"Will you marry me?"

In her hazy state of consciousness, she murmured softly.

Li Ruoyan didn't hear clearly, or perhaps he couldn't believe it and was afraid he had misheard.

He leaned closer: "Yunqiao, what did you say?"

"I said, will you marry me?"

Yun Qiao almost shouted this out loud.

But she didn't actually know what she was saying.

Her mind was a complete mess; she couldn't make sense of anything, let alone think.

Just out of instinct, I uttered the words I had always wanted to say but never dared to.

"Shen Suwei..."

As Li Ruoyan approached, she heard her whisper those words.

His body suddenly froze.

Before she could react, someone suddenly grabbed the back of her neck and flung her away!

Yun Qiao lost her balance and fell straight to the ground.

But she didn't fall to the ground. The man in the suit knelt down on one knee and put his arm around her waist.

Li Ruoyan was pushed to the ground. When she came to her senses, she turned her head and was about to scold him, but when she looked up and saw the person's face, the words she was about to say instantly stuck in her throat.

Shen Suwei.

It's the person Yunqiao just called out to.

He eventually remembered who this person was.

Shen Shiyu's stepbrother.

But he didn't understand why Yun Qiao and Shen Suwei...

"Should I throw you out, or should you get out yourself?"

Shen Suwei's voice was icy, and he didn't even look at him.

Li Ruoyan felt a chill run down her spine.

He glanced at the two men standing in the doorway and at the intact door.

She glanced again at Shen Suwei, who had been looking down at Yun Qiao the whole time.

They quickly grasped the situation.

Shen Suwei opened the door and came in.

Furthermore, no matter what, he cannot take Yun Qiao away from Shen Suwei today.

I recalled Yunqiao's drunken ramblings.

Li Ruoyan gave a bitter smile.

Yun Qiao wanted to marry Shen Suwei...

No matter how much he insists, it's meaningless.

He didn't say anything, silently got up, turned around and left.

The door closed again, and the room became quiet once more.

Yun Qiao was in a daze, her limbs were as limp as mud, and she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive.

She felt hot, so hot that she wanted to tear off all her clothes.

She struggled to push away the restraints binding her.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back, as if someone was pinching me.

Her hazy consciousness returned somewhat.

Her strong will to survive allowed her to recall only one sentence despite her muddled mind.

She numbly repeated:

"Can't you just marry me...?"

"Who do you want to marry?"

Who is speaking?

Li Ruoyan?

The voice didn't sound familiar, but she couldn't quite place it...

"I don't want to die..."

"Answer properly if you don't want to die. Who do you want to marry?"

So fierce...

The voice came down from above her head, low and sinister.

Every word seemed to carry a suppressed, almost out-of-control killing intent.

Yun Qiao was puzzled.

But thinking back, she seemed to be drinking with Li Ruoyan.

"Li Ruoyan...uh! um..."

Just as she was about to call out to Li Ruoyan, before she could finish speaking, her lips were suddenly sealed with a kiss.

A kiss filled with ruthlessness and possessiveness pressed down on her, as if it wanted to tear her apart and devour her whole.

The man's fingers gripped her chin, forcing her to open her mouth.

His tongue forcefully invaded, maliciously stealing her breath.

Yun Qiao was breathless from his kisses, and when she pushed against his chest, her hands were weak and powerless.

She whimpered a few times.

But he still didn't stop.

His hand, which was around her waist, slid down her back, pressing her against his chest, and he kissed her even deeper.
