How could she have done that with her weak limbs against someone as strong as Lu Lixing?
After she excluded everyone that couldâve left the teeth mark, Ji Qingqingâs heart pounded against her chest forebodingly. She was frowning as she massaged her temples with both of her hands. She didnât have any strength in her body, and she was in pain from the aftermath of overdrinking, but she continued to stare at him tentatively. She apologized and said, âIâm sorry, I overdrank, so I donât rememberâŠanything I said or did.â
âYou canât remember?â
Ji Qingqing smiled, âI donât really remember.â
How could she remember anything when she blacked out after she became drunk?
Lu Lixing pointed at the corner of his mouth, âDo you know where this injury came from?â
Ji Qingqing didnât have the courage to look into his eyes, âCould IâŠbe the oneâŠâ
âYes, you were the one who injured me.â
ââŠâ
She wanted to cry.
âDo you want to bite me to make up for the injury I caused?â
âBite you back?â Lu Lixing approached her, âYou bit me, so I will bite you back to get even?â
The corners of Ji Qingqingâs mouth twitched as she lowered her head silently.
Lu Lixing was not petty enough to punish her for what she did when she was drunk. âForget it. Just remember that youâre not allowed to drink that much anymore!â
Ji Qingqing nodded her head and looked at him, âI wonât drink anymore!â
When she finally looked up to meet his gaze, his face suddenly overlapped with one of the memories in her mind. A voice from her memory echoed in her ear.
ââWu Yanzu, why are you in my bed?
The memory was fuzzy and distorted, but it was enough for her to make out the people in the memory.
She seemed to haveâŠpressed Lu Lixing under her body.
Ji Qingqing felt her heart suddenly stop beating for half a second.
She was able to vaguely recall that she had accidentally called Lu Lixing by the wrong name and had even pushed him under her!
The name âWu Yanzuâ echoed like a 3D stereo that was on repeat in her mind.
Besides uttering Wu Yanzuâs name, what else did she tell him when she was drunk?
Ji Qingqing racked her brains, but she couldnât recall anything else besides the scene where she pushed Lu Lixing below her. She couldnât remember anything that happened before or after this scene.
Would Lu Lixing think of her as a fickle woman for calling another manâs name when she was on his bed?
She took a deep breath and her heart turned cold. It seemed like her life was over.
Ji Qingqing fiddled with her fingers and said, âWellâŠI can explain one thing from last night. I called you Wu YanzuâŠâ
Lu Lixing raised an eyebrow, and his tone was cold and indifferent when he said, âYou donât need to explain anything. Iâm not interested in knowing your private matters.â
Ji Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
It was great that he didnât care. Because if he did, then she really didnât know how to explain it to him.
âââDeath Warning: Please ask your wife, Ji Qingqing, to tell you Wu Yanzuâs identity. If you give up or fail the mission, then five life points will be deducted.â
Lu Lixing frowned. He was hesitating whether he was willing to give up five life points.
Ji Qingqing turned to leave.
âStop.â Lu Lixing grabbed the back of her collar and his tone sounded slightly threatening when he asked, âWho is Wu Yanzu?â
Ji Qingqingâs heart thumped against her chest. Why did Lu Lixing suddenly go back on his words?
How will she make up a story about Wu Yanzu?
âAre you trying to stall for time so you can make up an elaborate story to trick me?â
âOf course not!â Ji Qingqing frowned as she massaged her temples. She sounded very weak and lifeless when she explained, âI justâŠmy head hurts. My stomach also hurtsâŠthis canât go on. I have to head back to bed and lie downâŠâ
