Chapter 89: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 89: Bai Lu...
Xiao Wei was also waiting for Xiao Cheng.
Hearing the door open, he came out and saw his older brother suddenly rushing towards Bai Lu, embracing her.
Holding her tightly as they moved backward.
This seemed like something a child shouldn't witness, so he closed his eyes and silently walked away along the wall.
After picking up his coat, closing the courtyard gate, and locking it.
He went back to his room and closed the door to sleep.
As for the other side...
Bai Lu's face was burning and red because Xiao Cheng's face was very close to hers, almost touching noses.
The warm breath from his lips hit her face, a mix of alcohol and tobacco, making her heart race continuously.
Her heartbeat was like a drum, and he had her pinned down, with her hands and feet restrained, unable to turn around.
Xiao Cheng's eyes were not the usual endless abyss of darkness, but instead, they were floating with a crimson hue, seemingly filled with flames, extremely dangerous.
He just stared at her, unmoving, without blinking, for a long time, making her feel flustered.
Bai Lu swallowed nervously, blinked her eyes, slightly anxious: "Where did you go today?"
"Outside."
Xiao Cheng only answered with two words, his intoxicated gaze fixed on Bai Lu's lips, as if waiting for her to say something.
Bai Lu tried to move her hand but couldn't. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Why didn't you come home after bringing chestnuts? I cooked a lot of delicious food, including your favorite spicy chicken... Ah Wei and I couldn't finish it all."
"Today is Luo Shiliu's birthday."
After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he kissed Bai Lu on the forehead, whether it was an explanation or a drunk impulse.
Bai Lu felt like a piece of ice had fallen on her forehead, immediately turning into a flame, buzzing in her head.
Her hand tightened involuntarily, but it was futile against the vast difference in strength. It only tightened further.
The alcohol, which had just risen a bit, fell back onto her face, bringing with it...
That dangerous gaze.
Bai Lu's heart couldn't stabilize, trying hard to maintain a steady voice on her face: "So, you went out to eat and drink with Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, and the others?"
Xiao Cheng, seemingly not hearing the words he wanted, furrowed his brows slightly. His thin lips pressed straight, and his intoxicated eyes gained a bit more crimson, making him look extremely dangerous.
He continued to hold Bai Lu's hand tighter, answering in a deep voice: "And Wang Hao, Zhang San, Li Si."
"Oh..."
Bai Lu was initially very nervous, especially when she heard the names Zhang San and Li Si. However, she couldn't help but laugh.
Afraid that the drunken big shot might inexplicably become unhappy, she bit her lip and tried not to laugh out loud.
But her shoulders couldn't be controlled and shook twice.
"Why are you laughing."
The big shot was indeed not pleased. His handsome face turned cold, the danger in his eyes adding two more threads of crimson.
Bai Lu immediately closed her mouth, shook her head, and attempted to communicate with him through her eyes, signaling that she wasn't laughing.
However, after a bit of drinking, the intoxicated Xiao Cheng couldn't catch her eye signals and couldn't communicate.
He only called her name, "Bai Lu..."
"Hmm?" Bai Lu looked at him fixedly.
He fell silent again.
His eyes stared straight at her, clearly wanting to say something but hesitating to speak, as if waiting for her to speak first.
Breaths interweaved in the narrow space, growing hotter, and the air became thinner.
The distance between their noses touching grew closer.
Unable to avoid it, Bai Lu racked her brain to find a topic, wondering what the big shot wanted to hear. After thinking for a long time...
A sudden flash of inspiration.
"Did you encounter anything on your way to Xiao's village to buy chestnuts today? You've been driving for so long; you must be tired. How about I give you a back massage?"
Xiao Cheng, looking at her without speaking, narrowed his eyes, the crimson hue in his eyes deepening. He seemed to be waiting for her to say something.
Bai Lu continued, "Or maybe you didn't eat enough outside? I made some food; do you want mebto heat it up for you?"
Xiao Cheng's expression remained cold, and his eyes were fixed on her. After a while, he finally spoke.
"He came to find you for what?"
"Who?" Bai Lu looked puzzled, not following his sudden jump into outer space.
"The one surnamed Lin."
Bai Lu's mind turned in a circle, finally finding the person surnamed Lin that she knew in her original life—Lin Jinfan.
Oh... so he saw what happened in the afternoon.
Bai Lu found it a bit funny but dared not laugh. She felt relieved in her heart.
"Lin Jinfan gave me a few books."
"What books?" Xiao Cheng asked.
Bai Lu looked to the right, her gaze falling on the table by the window. She teased, "In the rightmost drawer of that table. Do you want to take a look?"
Although Xiao Cheng was under the influence of alcohol, his eyes never left Bai Lu. He didn't fall for her teasing.
"What books?" he continued to ask.
Bai Lu had to answer truthfully, "Books for the third year of high school."
Xiao Cheng's face darkened, and the crimson in his eyes surged to its peak. He let go of her hands, and with a heavy tone, he replied, "I'm going out."
He opened the door and walked out.
With a strong smell of alcohol, clearly having drunk a lot, Bai Lu felt a bit worried. She got up and followed him.
"It's so late. Where are you going?"
Xiao Cheng didn't answer, nor did he leave. Instead, he turned into the kitchen, separated by an inner wall, and entered the bathroom.
The bathroom had a water basin and a tub, towels hanging, and he went in without taking anything.
He made sure to close the door behind him.
Soon, the sound of water gushing out could be heard.
Bai Lu realized that he was taking a cold shower. She couldn't help but remind him, "There's hot water in the pot."
In the bathroom, the sound of water continued without stopping, like a three-year-old child throwing a tantrum and playing with water.
Apart from the sound of water, there was no other noise.
A child throwing a tantrum simply ignores you.
Bai Lu could only control her voice and try to soothe the three-year-old child who was drunk, "It's not good for your health to take a cold shower after drinking. Especially cold water. Just wash lightly, I'll get you a change of clothes."
The sound of water stopped for a moment... and then continued.
Bai Lu quickly found a set of clothes and brought them to the door, knocking.
"I've put the clothes outside the door. Hurry up and finish washing. If you take too long, I won't wait for you to sleep."
The sound of water stopped for a moment, then resounded even louder. The child was throwing a tantrum again.
Bai Lu couldn't help but smile, guessing that he probably had something else to say. She spoke softly, "I'm going back to the room. I'll wait for you to finish washing."
"You better come out sooner. Taking too many cold showers is not good for you. If you take too long, I won't wait for you to sleep."
The sound of water slowly diminished.
Bai Lu was satisfied, her lips curling up, and she turned back to her room.
Drunk three-year-old kids are easy to please!
Xiao Cheng, after drinking too much, was difficult to sober up. A cold shower didn't help either. The alcohol clouded his eyes, leaving only a hint of clarity, and the crimson bloodshot eyes receded halfway, no longer surging.
His hands were still functioning normally. He opened the door, the intoxicated gaze dropped, and he stared at the clothes on the wooden stool.
Taking them in his hands, a warmth entered his palm, lingering with residual warmth, her warmth...
