177: Chapter 177 I really, really couldn't hold back anymore

Lin Xiao silently apologized to Zhang Xiaofu in his heart. Unfortunately, it was too late today, and it wouldn't be appropriate to find someone to ask for help, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

Perhaps because Qiu Xiaoyan's body was still too weak, she fell into a daze and drifted off to sleep even while tied up like that.

Lin Xiao felt a bit of pity, so he quietly untied the ropes and covered her with a quilt.

He hoped that when she woke up tomorrow morning, she would miraculously return to normal.

After all, if this tossing and turning continued, he was afraid he really, really wouldn't be able to hold back.

But in the middle of the night, while Lin Xiao was sleeping soundly, he vaguely felt a weight on his body.

It felt like sleep paralysis, making him unable to move.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he found a small, flushed face pressed right in front of him, less than five centimeters away!

A pair of large eyes blinked, with water droplets hanging from her long eyelashes.

Lin Xiao jolted, and his sleepiness vanished instantly!

What kind of scene was this now?

Why was Qiu Xiaoyan lying on top of him out of nowhere?

He hurriedly tried to sit up, but was pinned down firmly by Qiu Xiaoyan.

How could a girl who clearly looked slender and weak be so heavy?

At that moment, Lin Xiao smelled a pungent scent of alcohol.

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately turned his head to look.

On top of the small refrigerator in his room sat several empty aluminum cans.

Lin Ran had bought these for him before, thinking it would be fun, saying this alcohol tasted like a soft drink—sweet, but with a very strong kick!

Lin Xiao had tried one bottle before; the taste was indeed good, and about half an hour after drinking it, one would feel lightheaded.

He had a decent tolerance for alcohol, so he had only had one bottle back then.

But now, there were a full five empty cans on the refrigerator.

"She's truly a handful!"

Lin Xiao's head was spinning.

If he had known, he wouldn't have untied Qiu Xiaoyan, or if he'd known she had a habit of getting up in the middle of the night to drink water, he would have prepared some for her in advance.

Now, a girl who already had scrambled memories had become completely delirious!

Just as Lin Xiao was thinking about going downstairs to find some hangover medicine, he suddenly felt a burning body press against him.

Qiu Xiaoyan had crawled into his quilt at some point!

The smooth sensation of her skin and her feverish breath constantly bombarded Lin Xiao's brain.

This is bad!

This is really bad!

This was no longer a matter of whether he could hold back; only a saint—or a coward—could hold back now!

But Qiu Xiaoyan clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

Her slightly confused eyes wandered around, and her small face rubbed against Lin Xiao's chest.

"Hungry, what should I do?"

Qiu Xiaoyan murmured, her brow slightly furrowed.

"I'll find you something to eat, let go of me first."

Lin Xiao's throat bobbed as he tried his best to stay calm.

As if she couldn't hear him, Qiu Xiaoyan's small hands began to grope around aimlessly. "Hungry, looking for food, looking for food!"

Lin Xiao hurriedly tried to catch her hands.

But he was a step too late.

Qiu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up. "Hey, found it! A 'big' meal!"

Immediately following that was...

Lin Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, and his breathing grew heavy!

There was a "boom" in his brain!

All his rationality was instantly shattered!

The fire in his heart seemed to transform into a wolf, desperately trying to break free from its shackles!

At this point, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired!

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, reached out to pull Qiu Xiaoyan up, and flipped over to pin her down.

Lips met, softness touched hardness, and the alcohol-filled air became an aphrodisiac.

But this atmosphere didn't last long.

When Lin Xiao wanted to go further, he suddenly noticed that Qiu Xiaoyan's state was a bit off.

"I... feel sick..."

Qiu Xiaoyan murmured.

Soon, her chest began to heave up and down.

Lin Xiao's rationality gradually returned. Realizing something, he hurriedly tried to help Qiu Xiaoyan to the edge of the bed.

"Wait a minute, hold it in, hold it in!"

However, Lin Xiao was still a step too late.

Before she could reach the edge of the bed, Qiu Xiaoyan let out a "bleh" and vomited.

Lin Xiao felt his world go dark, then darker still.

It felt as if he was just about to reach the clouds when his footing gave way and he plummeted.

And by some stroke of luck, he had fallen right into a cesspool!

At this hour, Lin Xiao didn't want to bother the servants to get up and clean.

He could only throw Qiu Xiaoyan into the bathtub to rinse her off first, then placed her on the sofa.

By now, Qiu Xiaoyan had fallen into a deep sleep.

But after all this commotion, Lin Xiao had lost all interest.

Even while helping Qiu Xiaoyan wash her body and change her clothes, he didn't feel much.

After settling Qiu Xiaoyan, Lin Xiao sat on the balcony, quietly watching the moonlight.

In this silent night, he noticed that his thoughts seemed a little different than before.

He had never been a casual person; even if he couldn't hold back, he wouldn't lay a hand on someone he didn't like.

But if he were to say he liked her...

In his confusion, Lin Xiao took out his phone and called Zhang Xiaofu again, but there was still no answer.

"You brat, where did you run off to when I need to talk to you?"

Feeling helpless, Lin Xiao leaned back in his chair and unconsciously fell asleep.

What he didn't know was what kind of thrilling and agonizing experience Zhang Xiaofu was going through on the other side!
