Chapter 2142: Chapter 2145: Such a Ruthless Woman
In the middle of the night, she turned restlessly, with a growing sense of unease.
Sheng Sheng was actually awake too. Maimai kept tossing and turning, and he was someone who could be awakened by the slightest sound.
He wasn’t drunk at all; he just wanted to pretend to be drunk to take advantage of her. But when he actually held her and lay down, he didn’t feel any inappropriate urges, instead found that just holding her while she lay quietly in his arms was a kind of enjoyment.
In the dark, Sheng Sheng’s lips curled into a slight smile as he whispered to himself like in a dream:"Maimai..."
"Hmm?" Maimai responded immediately.
Sheng Sheng dared not reply to her words, so he continued his dream-talk: "Maimai..."
Calling her name over and over again.
Maimai responded a couple of times, realizing Sheng Sheng hadn’t really woken up. She stopped responding, snuggling deeper into his arms, mumbling: "If you can’t handle your liquor, don’t drink. You reek of alcohol, smells awful."
Her lips, however, were adorned with a blissful smile.
How lovely, being held by Sheng Sheng, hearing him repeat her name again and again; it seemed like the most beautiful lullaby, leading her into a happy dreamland.
----------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Sheng Sheng gently opened his eyes.
He gazed at Maimai, who was asleep on his arm, his eyes soft and tender.
Maimai was a light sleeper. As soon as Sheng Sheng moved slightly, she woke up, her sleepy eyes meeting Sheng Sheng’s.
Maimai opened her mouth: "Sheng Sheng, you’re awake?"
Sheng Sheng’s lips curled, as he looked at her, saying, "Mm, thank you for bringing me home last night."
Maimai’s lips twitched slightly, speaking lightly, "It’s something I should do, but there won’t be a next time. Helping you upstairs last night nearly killed me."
"If there’s a next time, I’ll break your leg!" Sheng Sheng hid his inner feelings, gazing at her with a stern warning: "Next time if I catch you going to drink with someone!"
"There won’t be a next time." Maimai frustratingly fiddled with her hair: "I’m so regretful, it’s all because of that Yi Qian, she deliberately provoked me, saying my current fame is all because I can cling to old men, play with eighty-year-old men, sarcastically implying that without a godfather backing me up, I am nothing! Even going to accompany for drinks wouldn’t allow me to get a higher position!"
"So you went to accompany for drinks?" Sheng Sheng squinted his eyes, his forehead lined with tension, in his mind he drew a big ’X’ over Yi Qian’s name!
Maimai lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers: "You know I have a short temper, I accidentally fell into her trap. It’s my youthful ignorance and lack of vigilance and experience. There definitely won’t be a next time; I have learned my lesson, really!"
"What lesson?" Sheng Sheng’s stern tone made Maimai’s heart alarmed.
She mumbled, "I smelled smoke all night, and I sent you, the big drunkard, home. Wasn’t I almost exhausted?"
Is that a lesson?
Sheng Sheng found it amusing yet frustrating!
Listening to her self-reflection, analyzing everything thoroughly, he couldn’t bring himself to show her displeasure!
Maimai furrowed her brows, then said: "Next time you get drunk, I’ll pour a bucket of cold water on you to sober you up, I won’t help you home again, I nearly twisted my ankle!"
"You’re such a heartless woman, in such cold weather, wouldn’t your conscience be troubled if I froze to death?" Sheng Sheng looked at her, his lips curled even more.

Back from Sanya in the afternoon, feeling really tired, I’ll take a nap first. If I wake up tonight and there’s time, I’ll update the writing, if I can’t get up I’ll continue rendezvousing with the dreamland, ha.
