As An Yin spoke, she reached out and touched her forehead, finding it burning hot. To keep herself awake, An Yin pinched her cheek hard, and her already flushed cheeks immediately turned a deeper shade of red, marked with a crescent-shaped imprint where her nails had touched, standing out conspicuously on her face. "My head feels so dizzy..." An Yin murmured, blinking her misty eyes as she looked at Jiang Keke’s head, seeing her lying there, An Yin mimicked her posture, folding her hands, placing them on the sofa, and slowly laid down the next moment. Time ticked by, second by second. An Yin’s breathing gradually steadied, as if she had fallen asleep. When the room returned to silence, Jiang Keke, who had been lying still, cautiously raised her head and softly called in the direction of An Yin. Jiang Keke called several times in a row, but saw no response from the other, so she slowly crawled towards An Yin, supporting her body. An Yin’s hat was tilted on her head, ready to fall with a touch, and her long hair fell down, covering her pure and flawless face. Jiang Keke reached out a slightly trembling hand, brushing her hair aside, "Yinyin, are you drunk?" Jiang Keke deliberately leaned over to her ear and asked. "Oooh... I feel... awful..." An Yin only felt a splitting headache, as if something was pounding her brain, causing immense pain. Until a familiar voice came beside her ear, she mumbled a response, trying to open her eyes but finding she had no strength at all. The moment Jiang Keke heard An Yin’s voice, her breath caught, her whole body stiffened, tense, no longer daring to make any sound. Until she noticed that An Yin only turned her head slightly, Jiang Keke realized her back was drenched with sweat. She shuffled back a few steps to observe An Yin from a distance. At this moment, a rustling sound came from the doorway. Soon after, Bao Cheng approached Jiang Keke with light steps, pointing slender fingers at An Yin, and then opened his mouth wide, exaggeratedly mouthing words. "Passed out drunk?" Bao Cheng’s voice was very faint, almost inaudible without attentive listening. "Yes." Jiang Keke nodded, her eyes betraying a hint of fear. Bao Cheng wore casual attire, giving an impression of youthful energy, and his handsome face was something many women found enchanting. He walked over to An Yin, reaching out to lightly pat her shoulder, "An Yin?" he called softly. An Yin, her face flushed, lay obediently on the sofa. "Don’t touch her." Jiang Keke’s expression turned disdainful upon seeing Bao Cheng’s actions. Bao Cheng turned his head, "I just wanted to check, see if she’ll wake up." "She won’t." Jiang Keke replied decisively. An Yin couldn’t handle any alcohol; once she drank, she would become disoriented and dizzy. Jiang Keke knew this all too well. Hearing Jiang Keke’s assured words, Bao Cheng didn’t feel relieved; instead, his handsome face was filled with worry, "Are you sure you really want to do this?" As he spoke, Bao Cheng thought of his cousin’s cold and gloomy face, and he couldn’t help but feel his hairs stand on end, anxiety churning within. Bao Cheng’s words made Jiang Keke hesitate for a moment. When she looked at An Yin’s serene face, a thought of retreat flashed through her mind. However, the blow of being dismissed by the drama troupe surged from her memory, and instantly, her eyes turned dark. Meeting Bao Cheng’s inquiring gaze, she firmly said, "Yes." Seeing Jiang Keke’s resolute demeanor, Bao Cheng’s handsome face showed a hint of resignation before he said, "If you really go through with this, there will be no turning back in your relationship with her." Bao Cheng warned repeatedly. "I can let go of this idea." Jiang Keke’s sweet face broke into a smile, as enchanting as a midnight enchantress. "Really?" Bao Cheng’s eyes lit up. "If you can get me into the drama troupe." Jiang Keke’s gaze was fixed on Bao Cheng. In truth, he didn’t want Jiang Keke to take this risk. If this backfired, given his cousin’s usual harsh ways, Bao Cheng feared he would be put through the wringer. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle, especially recalling how his cousin had invited him to the boxing ring for a beating as if it were yesterday. How long had it been, and he was already messing things up again! Bao Cheng felt utterly helpless inside, but what could he do, he couldn’t go against his girlfriend’s wishes. "I’ll carry her to the bedroom first." Bao Cheng seemed to have made a big decision. When Bao Cheng lifted An Yin horizontally, Jiang Keke hurriedly followed him, repeatedly chanting, "Be gentle." "Are you sure this is your cousin’s bedroom?" "Slow down, she’s frowning." Jiang Keke kept murmuring in Bao Cheng’s ear, making Bao Cheng more and more anxious, "Shut up." He turned his head, his thick eyebrows tightly knitted, looking at Jiang Keke with a trace of impatience. Most of the time, Bao Cheng was willing to coax women when he was with them, only showing anger when he was truly annoyed. Faced with Bao Cheng’s scolding, Jiang Keke initially turned pale with fright. Seeing his arrogant and cold face, she bit her lips tightly, looking up timidly, her eyes brimming with mist. Seeing his girlfriend’s pitiful look, Bao Cheng softened his expression, "Baby, I snapped at you just because I was too nervous, don’t take it to heart, okay?" In the blink of an eye, the man’s face returned to its usual, deeply affectionate look. Jiang Keke closed her eyes and then opened them, her heart, once injured beyond repair by him, was struck yet again. Heh, how did she not know before that a man could change faces so fast? Jiang Keke swallowed all the bitterness in her heart, the past irretrievable; she focused only on the present. Jiang Keke’s lips curled into a smile, her tone gentle, "I was wrong too, I shouldn’t have been bothering you all the time." Hearing Jiang Keke’s words, Bao Cheng’s expression relaxed, and he smiled warmly, "Don’t worry, I don’t blame you." From birth, Bao Cheng enjoyed being surrounded by people, and when it came to dealing with women, he tolerated their little whims, but never let things go too far. As soon as he felt the slightest hint of annoyance, the relationship ceased to exist. Living together with him, Jiang Keke realized one thing: when a man found life unsatisfactory with her, he would naturally go out and find women who pleased him. To prevent the man from growing tired of her, Jiang Keke constantly reminded herself not to be willful and reckless in front of him. Since he liked women who were alluring and gentle, she strived to play that role. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
