Chapter 273: Chapter 272 Where Did You Go? (8)

Ling Chuxia watched from the side, her heart pounding with fear, as Ji Xinxin and Shi Che matched each other drink for drink without pausing. Others also joined the fray, but Ling Chuxia secretly slipped away, terrified of being force-fed alcohol. Tonight, she needed to stay completely clear-headed.

The atmosphere in the private room gradually intensified, and after a round of drinking, several burly men had succumbed, staggering to the couch and collapsing there.

Ji Xinxin was still fiercely competing with Shi Che, drinking as if it were water, her eyes not blinking at all. Ling Chuxia looked at Ji Xinxin’s flushed cheeks and dazed expression, then at Shi Che whose face was only slightly pink, feeling both worried and anxious. If Shi Che could not be made drunk this way, she really had to consider whether she should knock him out with a stick.

However, Ji Xinxin was not a lousy teammate after all, she was incredibly resilient. Even though she could not outdrink Shi Che, just before she passed out, she had managed to get Shi Che fairly drunk. When Ling Chuxia went to support Ji Xinxin, Ji Xinxin, with her last breath, drunkenly leaned into her ear and said, "Xiaxia, I can only help you this far. The doctor... I’ve already made an appointment for you, remember, you must pin it on Shi Che and immediately take that thing to the hospital!"

After these words, Ji Xinxin collapsed directly into Ling Chuxia’s arms, frightening Ling Chuxia into crying out twice. Shen Qian then came over, took Ji Xinxin from Ling Chuxia’s arms, and said to Ling Chuxia, "I’ll take her home. You go check on Che. I really don’t know why this woman is so desperate. I’m leaving."

Ling Chuxia bit her lower lip gently, not speaking, but slowly nodded, "Then please take good care of her."

Shen Qian didn’t say a word, just hummed softly and proceeded to carry away Ji Xinxin.

Ling Chuxia’s gaze followed Ji Xinxin until Shen Qian carried her out of the private room and disappeared from her sight. Then she turned around and looked toward Shi Che, who was sitting on a chair. Although he wasn’t completely drunk, he was fairly tipsy after having so much to drink, his hand lightly propped against his forehead, brow slightly furrowed.

Ling Chuxia’s eyebrows knitted with worry, a hint of concern surfacing in her eyes. She quickly walked over and softly asked, "Young master, is your head hurting again?"

Hearing Ling Chuxia’s voice, Shi Che slightly lifted his eyes to look at her, his voice hoarse, "I’m fine."

A faint sense of guilt stirred in Ling Chuxia’s heart, aware that Ji Xinxin did all this for her sake. She lowered her eyelids, suppressing her emotions, and softly said, "Then let’s also go back, and rest early."

Shi Che nodded.

Back at the villa, Ling Chuxia helped Shi Che upstairs. While he was somewhat sober just now, the effects of the alcohol had surged, making his steps unsteady, and most of his body’s weight was pressing on her.

It took an immense effort for Ling Chuxia to support Shi Che into the bedroom, but before she could lay him down, her legs gave way, and the two of them tumbled onto the bed together.

Shi Che landed on top of Ling Chuxia, his dark eyes deep and profound, staring intently at her. The warm yellow light of the bedroom shone on her face, so serene, so beautiful. His hand involuntarily lifted, gently caressing her cheek.

Ling Chuxia’s heart started to beat slowly, bit by bit. Shi Che, so close to her, though his face was so familiar, why did her heart suddenly start beating so fast?
