Chapter 42: She Pressed Him Against The Wall

The steak was done frying, and a thick fragrance wafted in the air.
Ye Qingran raised her knife and fork. The tender and soft steak melted when it touched the tip of the knife.
She picked up a small piece and put it into her mouth. The steak was tender and refreshing.
It melted the moment it entered her mouth.
She could not stop savoring it.
She raised her thumb and gave a thumbs up to Chu Yan. “It’s really delicious. It would be even better if there was a glass of red wine to accompany it.”
“Why would a child drink wine?” Chu Yan disagreed.
“Master Chu Yan, it’s not like we’re outside. Besides, it’s just a casual drink with a steak. It’s fine. It’s not my first time drinking.”
As Ye Qingran spoke, she put down her knife and fork and walked to the bar counter.
In case Chu Yan objected again and forbade her from drinking his wine, she quickly changed the topic. “What about Ruo Ruo? It’s already dark. Why isn’t she back yet?”
“She went back to the old mansion today.”
Chu Yan replied and turned to head upstairs.
With his back facing Ye Qingran, he said, “Wake up early tomorrow. I’ll send you to your place first.”
“Okay, thank you, Brother.”
From tomorrow onwards, she could only rely on herself when it came to food.
Should she go and learn how to cook?
It was not possible to order takeout every day.
Ye Qingran took a small bite of steak and a small sip of red wine.
It was an unusually quiet night. The moonlight hung coldly in the sky, extinguishing all the impetuosity in her heart.
After eating the steak, Ye Qingran did not move. She leaned lazily on the chair and sipped the red wine. Glass after glass, she could not help but feel lost.
How did she get here and how should she go back?
Only when she felt a little sleepy did she realize that she had drunk an entire bottle of red wine.
Ye Qingran stood up.
Her vision was dizzy, and her footsteps were unsteady.
The original owner was still a hedonist, yet her alcohol tolerance was actually so poor.
It was only a bottle of red wine, and her body could not take it anymore.
Afraid of falling, Ye Qingran held onto the wall as she stumbled back to her room.
Carefully, she walked yet stopped multiple times. It was not easy for her to reach the door, and she could not unlock the door even after a long time.
She scratched her head. “What’s going on? Why can’t I open it?”
Just as she was about to open it again, the door opened from the inside.
She had walked to the wrong door. It was Chu Yan’s bedroom.
Chu Yan smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her body and frowned slightly. “How much did you drink?”
Ye Qingran smiled. “Not much. It’s just one bottle. God knows how poor her body is.”
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows.
Ye Qingran waved her hand. “But don’t worry, I’m not drunk. I’m just a little dizzy. But, why are you in my room…”
Before she could finish her last word, she suddenly staggered and fell to the side.
Chu Yan, who was standing at the side, subconsciously reached out to support her.
Ye Qingran patted her chest in shock. “That scared me to death. Fortunately, I have you.”
She looked up at Chu Yan but found that his expression was very strange. “Thank you.”
Chu Yan pushed her away as if he had been electrocuted. “Stand properly.”
Ye Qingran’s body went limp and she subconsciously fell forward. Chu Yan, who had just let go, had no choice but to reach out again and hug her.
“I’m sorry, my legs are a little weak.” Her head was also dizzy.
Ye Qingran could not think too much at that moment.
She was just glad that she had only drunk a bottle at home today. She found out this body’s alcohol tolerance.
The person’s arms did not move for a long time and were incomparably soft. Why did a grown man look as if he had no bones? Chu Yan’s Adam’s apple moved uncomfortably.
He asked, “Are you still awake?”
There was no reaction for a long time and the person had already fallen asleep.
If Ye Qingran opened her eyes, she would have realized that the person who was hugging him, although his face was as cold and arrogant as snow, had ears that were red.
The next day, Ye Qingran was woken up by the alarm clock.
The sunlight shone in from the window sill. As it was a little dazzling, she turned over, her back to the window. She reached out for her phone and turned off the alarm clock.
She stretched her back. When she remembered that she was drunk last night, she was slightly startled.
She remembered bumping into Chu Yan along the corridor and seemed to have chatted for a while before Chu Yan sent her back to her room.
Yesterday, she had made an agreement with Chu Yan that she would get up early today and he would send her to her place.
She looked at her phone and realized that she was already out of time.
It looked like she was going to miss her appointment today. Did Chu Yan think that she did it on purpose and wanted to stay at his house without leaving?
Ye Qingran quickly washed up and came downstairs to see Chu Yan.
She smiled and greeted Chu Yan, “Brother, Good morning.”
Chu Yan looked up at her and replied indifferently, “Good morning.”
“I’m sorry. I drank too much last night and got up a little late today. I can’t go to my place. But you have to believe me. I didn’t do it on purpose. After class today, or tomorrow morning?”
Ye Qingran asked with a bright smile.
Chu Yan looked at her indifferently and narrowed his eyes. When he brushed past her, he replied, “Whatever.”
Breakfast was ready. He sat down at the dining table.
Ye Qingran also sat across from him. “Thank you, Brother.”
During the meal, Ye Qingran suddenly asked, “By the way, rother, I drank too much last night. You were the one who helped me back to my room, right?”
Chu Yan’s hand froze for a moment, but he did not say anything.
“Thank you, Brother. It’s mainly because the steak you fried yesterday was too delicious. I couldn’t help but drink a little more.”
“If I knew you would go crazy from drinking, I definitely wouldn’t have helped you.”
“Ah?” Ye Qingran was shocked. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. “What? I went crazy from drinking? How is that possible?”
In the past, when she was drunk, she was very quiet and only knew how to sleep.
If she were in a different body, although her body was weak and she might get drunk faster, her spiritual sense was her own. Logically speaking, she should not have gone crazy from drinking.
Chu Yan chuckled, as if he was saying, “You’re just twisting the truth the defend yourself”.
Ye Qingran slowed down for a moment before saying, “Then what did I do when I went crazy from the alcohol?”
Chu Yan used his knife and fork to cut the eggs on the plate and asked indifferently, “Do you really want to know what you did?”
Ye Qingran nodded. “It can’t be crying and laughing hysterically or shouting, right? I’m a quiet and beautiful chap. I should be very quiet when I’m drunk.”
Chu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Qingran.
Seeing her nervous and expectant look, a sense of teasing rose in his heart. “You indeed were quite quiet. You were so quiet and calm that you would press people against the wall and kiss them.”
Ye Qingran’s mind went blank.
The knife and fork in her hand dropped onto the plate, making a clanging sound.
She stuttered, “Kiss… Kiss them? Yesterday, Yesterday, it was just you and me at home… Could it be that I did that to you?”
Chu Yan saw a rare trace of panic in Ye Qingran’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl upwards.
He quickly suppressed it and said indifferently, “If not then?”
Let’s see if you still dare to drink in the future.
Ye Qingran: “…”
She seriously suspected that Chu Yan was lying to her.
However, the Chu Yan that she knew was an aloof and cold person who was shrewd and reserved. He had always treated her as an insensible child.
It should be impossible for him to joke with her like that.
So, it was real?
Would changing a body be this terrifying?

Chu Yan: It’s not a lie, it’s the truth (In the next second, he pressed her against the wall…)
