How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 163 - 164: Junior Girl

The tireless air conditioning system was working diligently.

Yu Xiaozhe stood by the large bed, silently watching the person on it.

The air conditioning in the room was set a bit too high.

The person who was deeply asleep seemed to sense the intense gaze focused on them, uneasily turned over, and slowly fell back to sleep.

"Sigh..."

Thin lips slightly parted, letting out a helpless sigh.

He tortured himself with the heat yet slept so soundly.

He really didn’t know whether to thank the person who drugged him or to give them a good beating.

"Mmm, Brother Ze..."

The person on the bed suddenly murmured softly.

Yu Xiaozhe quickly bent down, leaning closer to Ruan Xingwen:

"Xingxing?"

But Ruan Xingwen seemed to have only dreamed of him, simply calling his name.

Yu Xiaozhe gazed at the still sleeping Ruan Xingwen, his eyes full of affection.

He lifted his hand to lightly brush Ruan Xingwen’s high nose, and just as he prepared to withdraw his hand, his gaze caught the small mole on the right side of the tip of the nose, unable to resist gently tapping it.

Ruan Xingwen’s brow lightly furrowed, pouting his slightly swollen lips and muttering:

"Mosquito... annoying..."

"Heh~"

A soft laugh escaped from his thin lips, glancing once again at those lips.

Yu Xiaozhe abruptly stood upright, no longer lingering, and turned to walk over to the office desk within the room, opened the computer, and began to handle the business that had accumulated over the day.

Normally, President Yu disliked employees getting distracted during work, yet now, while working, his gaze uncontrollably kept shifting toward the bed.

He was just worried that Ruan Xingwen might feel uncomfortable.

That’s what he justified to himself.

It wasn’t until the first ray of morning sunlight shone into the room through the curtains that Yu Xiaozhe realized that several hours had passed.

Time passes so quickly when you’re with someone you like, even if that person was asleep the whole time without awareness.

Yu Xiaozhe relaxed and leaned back into the chair behind him, pinching the tightness in his brow.

"Mmm..."

The person on the bed seemed to have woken up.

But aside from this sound, there was no other movement.

Hmm?

"Xingxing?"

The person on the bed did not respond.

Because at this moment, the person on the bed was already recollecting the events of last night, including... those before falling asleep.

He remembered everything!

Ruan Xingwen clutched the quilt tightly, wishing he could strangle himself...

Why did he drink last night...

Why did he take that unknown drink and gulp it down...

Why... do others get blackout drunk, yet he remembered everything!

Including... the sensation of his lips on Yu Xiaozhe’s; he remembered clearly!

But undeniably, Yu Xiaozhe seemed cold and hard, yet surprisingly, his lips were extraordinarily soft, the touch...

Ruan Xingwen shook his head vigorously at this thought, face flushed bright red.

He internally berated himself.

You damn pervert! Stop thinking about it! It was all a misunderstanding!

What should he do now? How would he face Yu Xiaozhe?

His heart anxiously spun around, but Ruan Xingwen dared not make any big movements, keeping his eyes shut, pretending to be asleep.

Because he heard Yu Xiaozhe’s footsteps coming toward the bed.

With eyes closed, unable to see Yu Xiaozhe’s expression, Ruan Xingwen only heard: "Apparently still asleep, maybe I heard wrong. I should get some breakfast."

Then the sound of footsteps grew fainter until a "click" sounded, signaling the door closing.

Ruan Xingwen quickly pushed the quilt off himself, sitting up and taking deep breaths of fresh air.

Just now, to hide himself, he had covered the quilt over his head.

Now that he was alone in the room, finally, he didn’t have to think about how to face Yu Xiaozhe.

At least for now, he didn’t have to!

As he began to relax, the fatigue after a hangover suddenly washed over him.

Ruan Xingwen fell back onto the bed, beginning to contemplate the events of last night.

The cleaning lady mentioned someone planning to drug Yu Xiaozhe, but in reality, he was the one who got caught in it...

Only two reasons – either they mistook their target, or he was their original intent.

As for the false information released, it was to mislead, making him lower his guard.

Yet didn’t the cleaning lady expose it directly?

Besides, except Zhang Yue and Shi Mu, the others at the gathering were all from YX Studio, all trustworthy people.

The suspect was becoming more obvious.

Would Shi Mu be so foolish?

In fact, Shi Mu indeed would...

He thought if he couldn’t have it, then he might as well muddy the waters.

Didn’t you, Ruan Xingwen, say you were just friends with Yu Xiaozhe?

Always acting so lofty like a lotus, eh?

Then he’d make their relationship a bit more "intimate."

It was just such a simple motive.

Shi Mu knew his actions would eventually be discovered, so he didn’t listen to He Mingsheng but reduced the drug by half instead.

Unlike that fool Zeng Xu, being used as a tool.

Reducing the drug made its effect also lessen, though the risk of discovery remained high, such a small dose would metabolize out overnight.

Even if Yu Xiaozhe wanted to get him, they would need evidence, right?

But which could be considered evidence?

The restaurant staff? If not, then perhaps the cup?

In order to afford his mother’s treatment, he’d rather seal his lips tightly shut.

Overall, even if Yu Xiaozhe knew the whole scheme was Shi Mu’s plan, there’d be nothing he could do.

Moreover, just yesterday he learned Zhang Yue and Yu Xiaozhe surprisingly already knew each other, and Zhang Yue was even Zhang He’s cousin.

He believed, even if discovered, given their connections, Yu Xiaozhe wouldn’t truly go hard on him.

It perfectly disgusted Yu Xiaozhe and Ruan Xingwen while fulfilling He Mingsheng’s command, couldn’t be more ideal.

But what Shi Mu didn’t realize was, he overestimated Zhang Yue’s position.

She truly was Yu Xiaozhe’s high school classmate and indeed Zhang He’s cousin.

But what he didn’t know was most of what Zhang Yue told him was her own imagination.

In high school, Zhang Yue used the guise of being Zhang He’s cousin to cling to Yu Xiaozhe constantly.

For other girls who liked Yu Xiaozhe, she always assumed the role of Yu Xiaozhe’s girlfriend to privately warn them off.

Though these girls liked Yu Xiaozhe, the impression he gave them was always aloof and cold, so they dared not seek the truth from him.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls had such simple minds; learning that Yu Xiaozhe "already had" a girlfriend, they stopped bothering him.

This made Yu Xiaozhe feel relieved at that time, so he never intentionally sought out the reason.

Until in his third year, Zhang Yue called a newly enrolled junior up to the rooftop, as she’d done every time before.

Of course, because this junior girl fell for Yu Xiaozhe at first glance.

Just like before, Zhang Yue issued a torrent of warnings to the junior girl, then an air of satisfaction and left.

Unexpectedly, the junior was already dealing with issues.

She had relatively severe depression.

At the time of admission, at her first sight of Yu Xiaozhe, the teacher had assigned Yu Xiaozhe to assist with the new students, so he helped the somewhat frail junior carry her suitcase once.

And just like that, being cared for once by Yu Xiaozhe, the junior liked him just like that.

Though knowing she wasn’t worthy of her heart-throb, after being warned by Zhang He, the suppressed negative emotions immediately found an outlet, and burst forth.
