Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Only Two Months Left (5)

Old Zhu supported Shi Che as they walked over. Ling Chuxia quickly lowered her eyes and then moved forward, reaching out to help Shi Che, whose body leaned towards her unsteadily. Being so close, Ling Chuxia could distinctly smell the strong scent of alcohol on him, and she couldn’t help but frown slightly, whispering, "Why did you drink so much?"

Old Zhu responded, "Young Master Shen has returned. The young master threw a welcome party for Young Master Shen today and had a few extra drinks in his happiness."

Hearing this, Chuxia’s eyes widened slightly, somewhat surprised, "Shen Qian is back?"

Old Zhu nodded, "He came back yesterday."

The surprise in Chuxia’s eyes faded and was slowly replaced by understanding. The relationship between Shen Qian and Shi Che was something she knew all too well - the two had been close since childhood, almost sharing a brotherly bond. Normally, Shi Che would remain somewhat sober while socializing externally, but only with Shen Qian could he drink without any reservations.

Old Zhu and Ling Chuxia together supported Shi Che into the house and helped him to the bed. Glancing at Shi Che, who lay collapsed on the bed, Ling Chuxia smiled at Old Zhu and said, "Old Zhu, you can go back to rest now. I can take care of him."

"Alright, Young Madam," Old Zhu complied and withdrew.

Ling Chuxia closed the bedroom door, walked back to the bed, and looked at Shi Che. He lay there quietly, his eyes slightly closed, his thick eyelashes casting shadows, and a faint blush visible on his cheeks. In this state, he had shed his usual indifference and aloofness, as well as his harshness and danger.

He looked just like he did when they were younger.

It had been a long time since Chuxia had seen him like this, and it made her feel somewhat nostalgic.

Chuxia stared at him fixedly, and found herself unintentionally lost in thought, until Shi Che, feeling uncomfortable, lifted his hand and pressed it against his forehead, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he hummed softly. That was when Chuxia abruptly snapped back to reality.

She immediately turned and left the room, went downstairs, entered the kitchen, warmed a cup of milk, and then went back upstairs. She sat by the bed, gently lifted Shi Che up, and spoke softly, "Young master, have some milk to sober up a little."

With one hand supporting Shi Che, who was half-lying in her arms, she held the milk to his lips with her other hand.

Shi Che seemed to still have a bit of consciousness. His dark eyes slightly opened, and he glanced fleetingly at Ling Chuxia before slowly opening his mouth to let her feed him the milk.

After Shi Che had drunk the milk, Ling Chuxia took a tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then laid him flat. However, he seemed uncomfortable, unconsciously tugging at his own clothes.

Ling Chuxia set down the cup, turned to her side, and her hands reached for the buttons of his shirt, starting to help him unbutton it.

At that moment, Chuxia was truly focused solely on helping Shi Che change into his pajamas, letting him sleep comfortably.

However, as she slowly unbuttoned Shi Che’s shirt, gradually revealing his wheatish, robust chest and firm abs, Chuxia couldn’t help but feel her cheeks slightly redden. Moreover... the faint thought that had just sprung up in her mind was uncontrollably starting to grow.

Shi Che had always been hands-off with her, and to say that she wasn’t anxious would be a lie. She didn’t dare to take the initiative again for fear of angering Shi Che, but now... he was so drunk, should she take a chance and make a move once more?

After all, under these circumstances, her chances of success were quite high.
