After waking up from a drunken stupor, Shen Liqing felt a slight headache. She realized that she was lying naked on the bed, with wet droplets trickling down her body onto the sheets, leaving faint water stains. Who had given her a bath? Shen Liqing furrowed her brows and rubbed her temples.
Since that absurd incident with Xun Yan, he has also been worried about being treated like a woman by others. Fortunately, there are no unusual sensations in his body. It's quite ironic - he used to be a proud talent, but unexpectedly, he would be distressed because of such a matter.
He was somewhat perplexed. This was an unfamiliar environment, clearly not a hotel. How did he end up here? He remembered going to the nightclub with that young man, and then being served many glasses of alcohol by others. After that, he had no recollection of anything happening here.
Someone is taking a shower in the bathroom. He thought this might be Xun Yan's house, maybe Xun Yan and his group of friends have already left. When Shen Liqing saw the clock hanging on the opposite wall, he realized it was only eleven o'clock at night. Would Xun Yan come home so early?
He lifted himself up, his head feeling even more dizzy. There was not even a bathrobe beside him, so he wrapped himself tightly with a blanket. He can't drink alcohol anymore. He prefers tea, unlike hard liquor. Alcohol is the source of evil in people's hearts, while tea is different. It can elevate the mind and purify the soul.
Shen Liqing's eyelids became heavy. He hadn't completely sobered up from the alcohol, but thinking that this might be Xun Yan's home, he didn't seem to have any additional worries. It must have been Xun Yan who helped him clean up his body just now. Despite what had happened before, it seemed that Xun Yan didn't have any ulterior motives towards him after all.
In the midst of haziness, the door to the bathroom opened. Shen Liqing slowly opened his eyes, but the person in front of him was not Xun Yan.
The man was wearing a bathrobe, his hair wet and glistening. His body revealed well-developed muscles from years of fitness, unlike the weak and pale appearance of a young boy. He exuded a strong and powerful aura.
Who is this man? Could it be that Xun Yan brought him back?
Shen Liqing was somewhat surprised. He had no impression of the outstanding-looking young man in front of him. Such a handsome person should be memorable. Where did Xun Yan go? It was at this moment that Shen Liqing truly felt uneasy because he was unfamiliar with this environment, and he didn't know the owner of the house.
"Cousin, are you awake?" Bai Zhuo looked at him with a cute and hazy expression, wishing to swallow him whole, but couldn't bear to rush through it so eagerly, and instead had a mischievous thought to tease him.
"Who are you?" How could this person call himself her cousin? He must be Xun Yan's friend. As soon as Shen Liqing thought of this, her anxiety eased slightly.
"Didn't I tell you before, my name is Bai Zhuo, remember it well." Unexpectedly, the person in front of him didn't even remember his name. Bai Zhuo felt a bit angry.
Looking at the man who was getting closer and closer, Shen Liqing indeed didn't feel any sense of familiarity. Even with the friends of Xun Yan who had toasted before, Shen Liqing probably had some memory of them. But this person in front of him, he had absolutely no impression at all.
Apologies... I might have forgotten, where did he go?" Shen Liqing was somewhat frustrated. He had been getting along with Xun Yan for a few days now, yet he didn't even know his name. For the time being, Xun Yan was still his cousin, otherwise it would be easy for their secret to be revealed.
"Do you still want to find Xun Yan now?" Bai Zhuo sneered, pressing down on Shen Liqing's body, using his fingers to trace the features of his face.
Shen Liqing's lips were pale in color, and his freshly washed facial features revealed vulnerability. He possessed a peculiar sensuality that made people unable to resist the desire to destroy him.
