My Life with Narration-Chapter 363 - 360: Pretty Good

Regarding the landlady’s explanation, he felt he only half understood, but he knew that Shen Yi must have been drinking.

Although he had also heard the landlady mention that Shen Yi has a somewhat odd quirk, like if someone speaks next to her ear, she would collapse.

But he didn’t really know the principle behind it, as for the so-called recharging, he just took it as some kind of fulfilled habit.

Like people who smoke or drink, they all get a certain satisfaction from it.

Neither Shen Yi nor the landlady would clearly explain the true meaning of recharging to him; even if they did, let alone whether someone as face-conscious as Shen Yi could accept it, what if he used this knowledge to take advantage of Shen Yi based on their unique relationship?

So the two of them could say whatever they wanted in private, but they always held back in front of him.

"Hey, hey, hey, how’s the recharging going?"

Sitting on the sofa, Su Qing looked at Shen Yi who was clinging tightly to his neck and couldn’t help but ask, but got no response.

The only reply was some indiscernible mumbling and a very strong smell of alcohol.

The landlady just said that Shen Yi drank quite a bit tonight or she’d have trouble getting to sleep, insomnia, and asked him to take good care of her, then the call ended, mentioning she needs to sleep, especially since women who have given birth shouldn’t stay up late.

Regarding this, Su Qing only felt numb, not figuratively, but literally.

His arm and the left side of his thigh were nearly numb, all pins and needles.

Don’t be fooled by Shen Yi’s slender appearance, she’s quite tall, moreover, she has meat where it matters.

A 1.7-meter-tall woman with curves certainly won’t be light, a tall girl who is light is likely flat-chested without even looking.

Half an hour later, he felt like his arms and legs were no longer his, and he could clearly feel their body temperature rising.

Seeing that Shen Yi showed no signs of wanting to throw up, he had no choice but to muster the effort to carry her horizontally, quivering as he walked her upstairs, with a sweaty head, unsure if it was from exhaustion or heat.

After all the effort to put her on his bed, he painstakingly pried open the hands that were wrapped around his neck.

Finally taking a towel to wipe the sweat beads off her face, he let out a sigh of relief.

"You’re a boss now, can’t you handle your liquor?" Su Qing sighed helplessly.

He had just returned from out of town, hadn’t even rested after getting off the plane, and now had to take care of her, it was too much.

At this moment, Shen Yi’s face was unreasonably red, if he didn’t know she’d been drinking, he’d think she had a fever.

Seeing her sleep so peacefully, Su Qing then tiptoed downstairs, closing the bedroom door casually.

What he didn’t know was, at the moment he closed the door, the previously unconscious Shen Yi opened her eyes instantly, biting her lip tightly, her toes unconsciously clenching.

Awkward, so incredibly awkward.

Fortunately, Su Qing didn’t know her drinking capacity; although she drank a lot tonight, it wasn’t to the point of completely blacking out.

Initially, when she walked out of the bedroom, she was somewhat dazed, feeling dizzy and unsteady, so much so she didn’t even realize it was Su Qing who had returned.

But when she buried herself in his arms and took a deep breath, her body reacted, she went limp, collapsing straight into him.

At that moment, she regained consciousness, at least mentally aware, although physically she couldn’t move, feeling a tingling, numbing sensation spreading throughout, while mentally experiencing an extreme sense of euphoria.

She didn’t dare let Su Qing know she was awake, given her pride, as long as she didn’t move, she could blame it on being drunk, but if he discovered she was awake, then her dignity would be gone.

Sleeping in his bed, walking out of his room, collapsing into his arms for half an hour, most crucially, she clingingly inhaled deeply while hugging his neck, each incident more embarrassing than last time when she accidentally got menstrual blood on his pajamas.

The main issue was she hadn’t known Su Qing would return today, and at night no less, if she had known, she’d have held back, avoiding all this embarrassment.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi felt vexed, her body temperature rising.

On the other hand, once Su Qing left, having no other options, he stowed Da Huang into his doghouse, washed up in the bathroom, and prepared to sleep on the couch for the night, intending to clear things with Auntie Shen the next day.

While taking a shower, he saw another red mark with a clear set of bite marks on his neck.

"Shen, this’ll cost extra."

The next morning, it was unusually cloudy, without the scorching sun, and a gentle breeze made the temperature quite pleasant.

The atmosphere in Su Qing’s living room was rather peculiar.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yi, what got into you? Even if you hadn’t seen each other for days, no need to take a bite, care to share how it tasted, was the man flavorful?"The landlady teased Shen Yi directly, upon seeing the mark she left.

The reason was, in the morning Shen Yi tried to sneak off while he was asleep, thinking she could get away unnoticed, only to be busted by Da Huang who barked, capturing her on the spot.

And Su Qing, not holding back, asked her directly if she remembered anything from last night.

For Shen Yi, of course, she didn’t remember, no recollection, blackout, definitely nothing.

But to Su Qing with his narrator voice, she was clearly exposed, the narration straightforward, consisting of just eight words.

[Shoddy lies, oh~ women!]

Thus, Su Qing was emboldened through further righteous questioning, causing Shen Yi to concede, even texting the landlady for rescue, claiming she was dying.

Upon seeing the message, Wen Nanqing knew something must have happened, driven by curiosity, gossip, and drama, she skipped breakfast and rushed over with her child, in slippers.

Then she caught sight of the mark on Su Qing’s neck, initially thinking it was a sign of progress, only to find out she just bit him, and in the wrong place at that!

A different spot would have been better!

"Sister Qing... Qingsae, it’s your fault for making me drink so much last night!" Shen Yi, though accusing with her words, gave a pleading look.

After a strenuous recharging last night, her energy was fully restored, leaving her in excellent condition, her complexion glowing healthily.

"Who told you to overindulge, now look what trouble it caused, good thing Xiao Su is a guy, if it were the other way around, we’d be reporting this at the police station!"

[High tier hunters often masquerade as the prey, as the landlady already devised a more comprehensive strategy.]

Su Qing: ...

True indeed, the world’s most intricate nuances lie in everyone’s little thoughts.

Half an hour later, Su Qing received a call from Wang Xing and took off, while the landlady nudged Shen Yi playfully, asking:

"How did it taste, taking that bite last night?"

"I really drank too much!"

"Come on, I know your drinking limits! Besides, even when you do drink too much you don’t lose your composure, must’ve been the surprise catching up to you, huh?"

Upon hearing this, after a while, Shen Yi barely grinned, chuckled, and replied:

"Pretty good actually!"

"Hahaha, so now you know!"
