Chapter49

  A wave of nausea surged up, mouth open to spit out the foreign object, the air was filled with a foul smell everywhere, still dazed and sleepy.

  Qian Qi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, not because he was heartbroken about his home's floor, but because Xia Mochen had thrown up on him. He looked at the clothes on his body with a face full of disgust, carefully taking them off and casually throwing them aside. He took out some tissues and gently wiped the corners of Xia Mochen's mouth, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness.

  He walked into the bathroom, letting the water splash freely over himself, misty vapor filling the air, droplets of water falling from his hair and sliding down his delicate features, slightly sensual.

  Some helplessness, borrow wine to dispel worries? The next day when waking up, isn't it necessary to bear even greater suffering, can one still get drunk and not wake up?

  Yesterday, the sunlight shone in directly, and I slightly opened my eyes. The autumn sun was soft and gentle, but it was a bit of an effort to open them due to the hangover from drinking the day before. My head was throbbing with pain, so I rubbed it gently, and suddenly realized something. I sat up, feeling somewhat puzzled - this wasn't her room, but then where was I?

  Glancing around the room, seeing the door open, he immediately became vigilant.

  Qian Qi walked in, slightly raising an eyebrow and smiling: "No need to be so vigilant, this is my room." As if seeing Xia Mochen's questioning, he calmly spoke again: "You got drunk yesterday, I kindly carried you back, but you threw up all over me."

  Xia Mo Xun looked at his clothes with some dissatisfaction, they were no longer the same as yesterday's. He gazed at Shallow Tide Mark: "My clothes..."

  Suddenly, Shallow Tide laughed out loud and after a long while, he spoke up: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your wooden figure, the clothes were changed by the maid."

  Xia Mei's icy gaze swept over Shallow Tide, cold and enchanting, with a hint of seduction. Her voice was chilly, exuding an aura of frostiness around her. "I hate it when people make fun of me." Without hiding anything, a small knife flew out, grazing Shallow Tide's cheek, deeply embedding itself in the wall. It was very dangerous; if he had been any closer, there might have been a hole in his face.

  Qian Qi's expression didn't change, still smiling and carefree, without a hint of fear: "You're so cruel! Yesterday I worked hard to carry you back, you got me covered in vomit, and today you ruined my face. You have to compensate me!" Blood slowly flowed out from the wound on his face, bright red and beautiful.

  "What do you want then?" She knew he couldn't be after money, so it must be some impudent request. She glanced at the clothes stained with disgusting substances on the ground and could only nod in resignation. She didn't like owing anyone a favor.

  It seems that she had expected her to say so, with a devilish smile all over her face: "I want you to be my maid, I'll call you whenever I want, and from now on, you'll live in my house, don't dare disobey your master's orders!"

  "Alright." She agreed, but was thinking, why did he want to do this, was it just to tease her?

  A triumphant smile, tossing a piece of clothing to Xia Muzhen, turning around, walking out of the room, her voice echoing in the corridor: "Go downstairs, my little maid, let's go to the academy together after breakfast."

  It suddenly dawned on her, damn it, could he have planned this all along, just waiting for her to take the bait and fall into his trap? But why would he set a trap in the first place? Seeing his strange smile, surely it wasn't just to tease her?! How could she be so stupid as to agree to stay at his house?! She punched the bed in frustration, fine, she'd accept her fate. Looking at the clothes Shallow Tide had thrown over, they were a pale blue lace long dress. Sighing helplessly, she put it on and headed downstairs.

  She sat at the dinner table, seemingly relieved that Shallow Night was not there, otherwise she would have been extremely embarrassed, silently eating her breakfast.

  He gazed at her with a shallow and intriguing smile, his face taking on an air of mystery that was hard to decipher.
