Chapter 206: Everywhere I look, there are traces of her activity.
The three drank until the early hours of the morning. None of them were drunk, but they were too intoxicated to drive.
The bar staff called a designated driver for the three of them, and they were each driven home.
As soon as Ji Yubai separated from his brothers, he wanted to send a message to Zhong Lingxi.
It was fine when I was alone, but after having my little girl...
He simply couldn't bear spending a quiet night alone.
Looking at the time on her phone, I realized the girl was probably still working overtime.
She set specific time periods for him, during which he was not allowed to send messages or make phone calls that would interfere with her work.
"Sigh..." Ji Yubai sighed deeply from the back row.
In the lonely night, he could only stay alone in his empty room, quietly healing his wounds.
It would be good if we got married soon and lived together.
The girl is great in every way, except she's too career-oriented.
Being too career-oriented is actually a good thing.
He felt resentful that he was being put after his career.
He can make his artists and staff obey him, but the girl is different from them; he has to listen to her in everything.
Even a rough guy like Lao Xiao has a girl who relies on him completely, so how come he found an independent wife?
Ji Yubai couldn't understand this problem.
He could only conclude that, perhaps, he liked this kind of mature, controlling woman.
If he likes her, he likes her; he can just rely on her a little more.
In another car traveling in the opposite direction, Chu Xiao was rubbing his aching temples.
He hasn't drunk alcohol in a long time, and if he drinks a little too much, his headaches will flare up.
There happened to be a 24-hour pharmacy ahead, so he asked the designated driver to pull over.
"Sir, what medicine do you need? I'll go buy it for you." The driver was a kind-hearted person and offered to help.
Chu Xiao: "You can wait for me in the car."
"Ok."
Chu Xiao got out of the car alone and entered the pharmacy.
The shop assistant, who was reading a book, immediately stood up when she heard the "Welcome" voice at the door. "Hello."
Chu Xiao glanced at the book on the glass cabinet; it was a pharmacy book.
A cold gaze fell on the shop assistant's thick black-rimmed glasses. "If you have blisters on your palms that don't hurt or leave scars, what's the best way to treat them?"
Blisters were a constant companion during his daily training, but he was thick-skinned and never bothered to treat them, so he never knew when they would heal.
"Please wait a moment," the shop assistant said, picking up a basket and returning from the takeaway area with a few items.
"First, use this spray to disinfect the area around the blister and the operator's hands. Then, use this disposable needle to puncture the blister and let the fluid drain out naturally. Finally, apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Do not get the wound wet."
The attentive and responsible shop assistant explained the medicine while marking the order of use on the medicine box with numbers like "1", "2", and "3".
Chu Xiao paid the bill, got into his car, and drove away.
The lights outside the car window were dim, but all the hustle and bustle had nothing to do with him.
He never considered returning to Beijing.
In Beijing, besides his brothers, there was nothing he wanted to stay for.
Compared to the hustle and bustle here, he prefers the boundless Gobi Desert and the azure sky.
It was spacious and clean there, and even breathing was easier.
"Beep..."
The hotel room door opened, and the space was half-lit and half-dark because the curtains were only half-drawn.
Chu Xiao took off his shoes, stood in the entryway, and looked around.
On the cabinet by the door, his black bag was opened, and only half of the dried sweet potato remained.
She's so greedy, she doesn't know to eat at home, he has to fly her over!
Clothes hanging outside the balcony are floating in the air.
Chu Xiao's lips, neither too thick nor too thin, curved into a smile. He was indeed clean and knew to wash his clothes.
Beside the sofa, two white canvas shoes lay askew.
The sofa cushions are also nowhere to be found; they must have been moved around while watching TV.
They love cleanliness, but are extremely destructive.
The living room was filled with traces of her activity.
The emptiness on the way back vanished at this moment.
Chu Xiao's lips curled up in a deep smile.
The other half of the space was not very well lit, but fortunately his eyesight was excellent, and he carried the medicine bag into the room.
The person on the bed was spread out in a starfish shape, wrapped in a thin blanket, taking up the entire bed, and snoring quite loudly.
Looks like I'm really tired from work today.
Chu Xiao sat cross-legged by the bed, gently took her hand, and began to treat the blisters on her palm.
Fortunately, there were no obvious wounds. When the disinfectant was sprayed on, it only felt cool. Her tender little hand flinched slightly and then stopped moving.
The person in the bed was snoring loudly, sleeping soundly.
Chu Xiao worked quickly and efficiently, and the blisters on her palms were treated in just a few minutes.
After tidying everything up, he went back to the living room sofa, reeking of alcohol, and lay down to sleep.
The night was quiet, the moonlight shone down, and Chu Xiao fell asleep to the sound of Hua Lan's intermittent snoring.
The next morning, Chu Xiao woke up according to his biological clock.
Summer is a time when people sweat a lot, and there's also the smell of alcohol. He can stand it, but Hualan can't.
He couldn't find the clothes he wanted in the black bag on the entryway cabinet, and then suddenly remembered that Hua Lan had worn them.
He could only grab a set of clothes and go to the bathroom to take a shower.
When passing by the foot of the bed, one should not look to the side.
Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pale, white leg, which almost made him start to march in unison.
Turn on the tap, and the sound of running water comes out.
Although the sound was mostly blocked by the door, it still disturbed Hualan's sleep.
The round face, still fast asleep, showed a hint of impatience. Its delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and it muttered in a lazy, soft voice, "So noisy."
Half asleep, Hua Lan suddenly felt annoyed. She pulled the blanket over her head, turned over, and continued to sleep.
A few seconds later, the thin blanket was suddenly pulled back, revealing a flustered, red face.
As sleepiness faded, a pair of clear eyes stared intently at the bathroom door.
Chu Xiao is back!
Realizing this, Hua Lan immediately rolled over and got out of bed.
Noticing her bare legs, she quickly rushed to the living room to retrieve the clothes she had washed and dried the night before.
She washed her hands with soap, and there was still a lingering fragrance on them.
We need to change Chu Xiao's clothes before he comes out of the shower.
If Chu Xiao knew she was wearing his clothes, he would definitely laugh at her.
There was no suitable place to change, so I could only cover my head with the blanket and change under the covers.
Just do it if you think of it.
When Chu Xiao came out after washing up, what he saw was a tent made of a thin blanket.
As the person under the blanket moved, the blanket bulged up and down.
He frowned, but remained standing still.
Hua Lan's legs were already sweating profusely as she put them into her pants.
She was afraid of being discovered wearing Chu Xiao's clothes.
We didn't dare waste a single moment, thankfully it's almost over.
Hua Lan put her feet through her trouser legs and stood up.
Once you put your pants back on and change your clothes back, Chu Xiao won't notice you're there.
"Hehe... I'm so smart."
