Chapter 414: Almost Broke My Back

Nightfall’s haze.

Xu Shaochen drank a lot tonight.

Looking at Xu Shaochen lying on the bed like a dead pig, Mei Liangying became furious.

She was planning to settle the score with this guy for groping her leg in front of so many people, but now she has to continue taking care of him.

“Sleep, sleep, sleep! You might as well never wake up again!”

Mei Liangying muttered through gritted teeth. After covering Xu Shaochen with a blanket, she began undressing to get some rest herself.

“Get on top and do it yourself.”

Xu Shaochen gazed vaguely at Mei Liangying’s smooth, jade-like back and mumbled. Fueled by the alcohol, an overwhelming urge surge through him.

Mei Liangying, who was in the middle of taking off her skirt, stiffened. She turned her head, her face flushing red, and scolded angrily, “Move your big head! You’re drunk, and still thinking about this? Shameless!”

However, no one can escape the so-called force of legends– known as the Wang Jingze’s egg fried rice law that ‘delicious things always win.’

Mei Liangying, this novice female knight, nearly broke her back that night due to her inexperience in ‘riding.’

……

Morning.

When Xu Shaochen woke up, his head throbbed as if it was about to explode.

He vaguely recalled something about possibly being taken advantage of last night?

Right, he seemed to have promised something to Mei Liangying last night as well. Why can’t he remember?

Looking beside him, Mei Liangying was gone; she must have already gotten up.

“Click—”

While Xu Shaochen was massaging his own head, the room door opened.

Mei Liangying walked in holding a set of clothes and tossed them at Xu Shaochen, “If you’re awake, get up quickly.”

Xu Shaochen saw that these were the clothes he wore last night, but they had been washed and dried.

“You… Does your back hurt? Why do you walk so weirdly?”

Xu Shaochen asked, somewhat puzzled, as he looked at Mei Liangying.

Mei Liangying’s face turned beet red in an instant. “Get lost!”

After yelling, she slammed the door and left.

Xu Shaochen felt bewildered. I only asked out of concern. What’s your problem? The ancients weren’t wrong; small-minded people and women are indeed hard to deal with.

After sighing in his heart, Xu Shaochen got ready to get up and start getting dressed.

“Hiss—”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, he felt a soreness in his hip. Looking down, his lower abdomen appeared a bit red and swollen.

Thinking about how Mei Liangying’s back seemed a bit off, Xu Shaochen felt like he was onto something.

No way… Could it be… Was last night not a dream? Did I really get taken advantage of?! Gah gah gah…

He let out a string of pig-like laughter, put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom in the bedroom to wash up before heading downstairs.

“Xiaoying, did you do something to me last night?”

Xu Shaochen teased as he looked at Mei Liangying at the dining table.

Mei Liangying blushed and denied it vehemently, “It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it! Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Really…”

“Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and eat breakfast. We have something to do after.”

Xu Shaochen was about to say more, but Mei Liangying, feeling too embarrassed, didn’t give him the chance. It was just too shameful.

She never imagined that one day, she, Mei Liangying, would do something so shameless.

“Something to do?” Xu Shaochen was puzzled and asked, “What is it?”

“What you promised me last night. I’ll accompany you to your reception, and you’ll come with me to my university reunion,” Mei Liangying said, looking at Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen blinked, “Really? I have things to do today. Plus, I’m not your classmate, so can we just skip it?”

Xu Shaochen had no interest in such reunions; they were boring and pointless since he didn’t share any common ground with them.

“It’s up to you, but I should remind you, there’s someone from my university who still can’t get over me. Maybe I’ll get drunk…”

“Okay, okay, say no more. I’ll go, I’ll go, isn’t that enough?” Xu Shaochen interrupted her, unwilling to discuss this potentially environmentally harmful topic any further.

Mei Liangying smirked with satisfaction.

Indeed, the so-called ‘Ice Goddess’ doesn’t exist.

She may be icy to others, but to her man, she is playful and gentle.

After breakfast.

Xu Shaochen and Mei Liangying left together.

Long Yi, Long Er, and the other bodyguards had spent the night in the car outside the Villa Area.

The two of them took the car to the location of Mei Liangying’s reunion, a private outdoor BBQ spot in the South Riverside.

This park is privately built, scattered with small pavilions where people can BBQ on their own.

The environment is beautiful, with clear mountains and fresh water. Unsurprisingly, the cost was ‘visually appealing’ as well—888 per person.

“Let’s not bring the bodyguards. It would just make the atmosphere awkward,”

Mei Liangying said to Xu Shaochen at the entrance.

Xu Shaochen frowned, then nodded and instructed Long Yi, “Park the car across the street and pick us up later.”

“Understood, Boss.”

Long Yi and the others naturally didn’t object. The boss’s orders were absolute.

“Also, take off your watch.” Mei Liangying continued.

Xu Shaochen was at a loss for words, “Sis, I bought this watch with my own money, and you won’t let me wear it?”

“If you wear it, the reunion will turn into a flattery fest. I don’t want my university reunion to be like that. Can’t everyone just have a simple time?”

As she spoke, Mei Liangying pointed to herself.

It was only then that Xu Shaochen noticed Mei Liangying was dressed rather plainly today. Expensive necklaces, earrings, and rings were all stowed away.

“What about my clothes? You’re not asking me to take them off too, are you?” Xu Shaochen said, a bit annoyed.

Mei Liangying smiled sweetly, “Don’t worry, there are plenty of people who can recognize an expensive watch, but few can identify clothes these days.”

Xu Shaochen didn’t have anything more to say. This woman had thought of everything. He could only reluctantly take off the watch and hand it over to Long Yi for safekeeping.

Mei Liangying leaned in close to Xu Shaochen’s ear and whispered seductively, “Alright, I’ll make it up to you tonight. You can do whatever you want to me.”

“That sounds more like it.”

Xu Shaochen instantly reveled in his lewd thoughts. What could be better than having fun with a woman? After all, as a simple man, he didn’t enjoy gambling or smoking—this was his only vice.

“Pervert,” Mei Liangying glared at him and then, wrapping her arm around his, paid the entrance fee and entered the park.

Watching Mei Liangying’s cheerful expression, Xu Shaochen let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

You might want a simple reunion to reminisce about the past, but others might not share that sentiment.

Of course, it’s possible I’m just overthinking it.

Mei Liangying received a phone call and found the location where several people had already gathered.

“Xiaoying, over here.”

“Hi everyone! It’s been so long.”

Mei Liangying walked over with Xu Shaochen.

“Wow Xiaoying, you’ve become more and more beautiful over the years.”

“Is this your boyfriend, Xiaoying? Didn’t you say you’d never fall in love in this lifetime?”

“That was before I met my Mr. Right. Now that I have, things are different.”

Everyone warmly greeted Mei Liangying and ushered them both to their seats.
