Drunken Reverie in a Gentle Land?

"Darling~ it's time to get up!"

A wave of warmth hit Tang Ao's right ear. In his drowsy state, he rolled over in bed and drifted back into sleep.

"Darling~"

This time, the warmth assaulted his left ear, the voice so sweet that it sent shivers down Tang Ao's spine.

This voice~

So alluring!

Suddenly, Tang Ao jolted awake and leapt up from bed.

Oh my God!

Zhou Qiao'er was crouching by his bed, looking amusedly at his messy, bedhead hair.

Next, with lightning speed, Zhou Qiao'er whipped out her phone, opened the camera, and snapped a picture of Tang Ao's current look: "Today, you have to accompany me to a class reunion."

"Hmm? Class reunion?"

Tang Ao felt a bit of déjà vu, as if he'd heard this somewhere before.

Oh right, yesterday, after Lin Ruoxue inexplicably accepted his confession, she mentioned wanting him to accompany her to a class reunion.

Could this be a coincidence?

Tang Ao asked suspiciously, "You have classmates in Longquan City?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Zhou Qiao'er said, waving her phone. "I also have photos from when I bit your ear. If you don't accompany me, I'll show these photos to your father and mother!"

"You~!"

Tang Ao couldn't believe that Zhou Qiao'er would pull such a stunt early in the morning.

She even threatened him with ambiguous photos!

God, is it this dangerous for a guy to stay at home nowadays!?

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. As long as you accompany me, I'll only call you 'darling' from now on."

"Pfft, who cares, I don't even like you."

Tang Ao turned his head away, thinking to himself:

[Zhou Qiao'er is truly a bewitching fairy. Her calling me 'darling' makes my whole body tingle. If I could hear her sweetly calling me 'darling' every day, it wouldn't be so bad, would it?]

[But, if I agree so easily, who knows what more she'll demand in the future? Better not agree. Who knows what might happen at that class reunion.]

"Darling please come with me~ I've been away for years, and I don't know the way or these classmates well. I'm scared. What if someone has bad intentions?"

Zhou Qiao'er said, looking pitiful, while leaning down to press Tang Ao's head into her chest.

Zhou Qiao'er was only wearing a thin nightgown, and in the process, a button came undone, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin that dazzled Tang Ao's eyes.

[Oh my God!]

[Zhou Qiao'er has such an amazing figure!]

[Whoever marries her is bound to be very lucky!]

After a while, Tang Ao felt he couldn't continue to indulge. He pushed Zhou Qiao'er away: "You... it's early morning and you're all over me. I tell you, give up. My heart belongs to Lin Ruoxue. No one can shake her place in my heart!"

"Oh?" Zhou Qiao'er looked at Tang Ao with a very interesting expression, struggling to button up her nightgown: "So, you're saying you didn't like what I did just now?"

"Of course, I didn't like it!"

Tang Ao answered firmly and decisively.

If Zhou Qiao'er couldn't hear his thoughts, she might have been deceived by him:

[How could I not like it? Seduction is the greatest motivator for development.]

[I love it, but I can't indulge. I have to stay strong!]

[I still need to complete the storyline. I can't fall into a reverie in the gentle land!]

"Then I'll send our ambiguous photos to your father and mother and formally announce that our relationship has taken a step forward. How about that?"

"Send them. Who's afraid? My reputation as the number one playboy in Longquan City isn't for nothing. I've had plenty of women hugging and kissing me, you're nothing special!"

[Sigh, I wish what I said was true. Damn storyline. It's set that I'm Lin Ruoxue's loyal dog, unable to look at any other woman.]

[Plus, Lin Ruoxue truly despises me, which means that despite being a top rich second generation, I haven't even held a girl's hand. If this got out, no one would believe it.]

[But, this woman dares to threaten me like this. This touches my bottom line. I'm Tang Ao, steadfast and unyielding, I never back down from threats!]

Zhou Qiao'er smiled mysteriously, grabbing Tang Ao's hand. The soft touch made Tang Ao momentarily confused, and Zhou Qiao'er used his hand to tap her phone screen.

She deleted the three ambiguous photos she had just used to threaten Tang Ao!

"How could I bear to threaten you?" Zhou Qiao'er said, holding Tang Ao's hands and shaking them in front of her, looking pitiful: "Please, come with me. I'm really scared and really need you. Please~"

[Oh my God!]

[Zhou Qiao'er is so adorable!]

[Who could resist this charm? Should I agree? Agree? Or agree?]

In the end, Tang Ao gave in and nodded.

Zhou Qiao'er made a victory sign and happily walked to the door of Tang Ao's room.

The door creaked open.

But it wasn't Zhou Qiao'er who opened it.

It was Tang's mother, carrying two bowls of hot porridge. Upon seeing Zhou Qiao'er, she beamed with delight: "Qiao'er, I thought you went out for a morning run!"

"Ah~ Auntie~" Zhou Qiao'er felt guilty, taking the porridge from Tang's mother and bowing her head. "Why don't you knock before entering?"

"Why should I knock? This is my son, whom I raised with my own hands!"

Tang's mother said firmly, giving Zhou Qiao'er a meaningful look: "Here to borrow body wash again?"

Zhou Qiao'er nodded, staring at the porridge with ginseng in it, thinking about the ambiguous scene with Tang Ao. If Tang's mother had come in five minutes earlier...

Zhou Qiao'er felt her heart racing and couldn't think of what to say. She felt a lingering fear.

If they had been caught, Zhou Qiao'er might have been so embarrassed that she could dig a massive underground chamber with her toes under the 300-square-meter bed.

"Sorry, Qiao'er. The aunt who does the shopping is on leave, and only she can buy the specific body wash Tang Ao uses. So, we don't have any extra. You'll have to make do for a few days."

Hearing this, Zhou Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief. She now had a legitimate excuse to enter Tang Ao's room:

"It's no trouble at all, Auntie. I feel more at home here than at my own place!"

"That's good. Drink the porridge, and I'll head in."

Tang's mother looked at Zhou Qiao'er, growing more and more fond of her.
