338: Chapter 338 The Explosion Was a Little Too Calm

By this time, Qiu Yingying had finished her DIY and fallen asleep after releasing her stress.

Guan Juer walked to the bedside and sat down, glancing at the tablet on the nightstand.

She looked down at the drawer of the nightstand, blinked, and reached out to pull open the bottom drawer.

At a glance, Guan Juer saw the square black-and-gold patterned box inside the drawer.

It had a magnetic clasp design; Guan Juer reached out and opened the box.

Upon seeing what was inside, Guan Juer's pretty face immediately turned red.

She hurriedly closed the box and gently pushed the drawer back to its original position.

She stared blankly at the drawer she had pushed back, then turned to look at the fast-asleep Qiu Yingying.

She murmured, "I'm sorry, Qiu Yingying."

"At least, we can truly be sisters from now on."

Guan Juer took a deep breath, having truly made up her mind.

She reached out and shook Qiu Yingying, who was curled up and asleep under the covers.

Qiu Yingying, who was having a naughty dream, opened her eyes blearily.

Seeing Guan Juer, she suddenly jolted awake.

She felt like she had been caught red-handed.

Because in the dream just now, the male lead was Chen Cheng.

Qiu Yingying blushed and asked in a low voice, "Guan Guan, what's wrong?"

Guan Juer looked at her, forced a smile, took a breath, and spoke slowly:

"Yingying, you like Brother Cheng, don't you?"

"Huh?" Qiu Yingying was stunned for a moment and immediately denied it subconsciously, "How is that possible?"

"He's your boyfriend, why would I like him?"

"Why would you ask that?"

Qiu Yingying guiltily threw out a triple-threat of questions.

Guan Juer pursed her lips and glanced at Qiu Yingying, her eyes showing a hint of coldness. "When I came back just now, I heard some noise in your room."

"Huh?"

Qiu Yingying was scared silly, her eyes widening like copper bells.

Guan Juer looked at her coldly and continued calmly, "Then, I accidentally heard you talking in your sleep."

"You were even calling out Brother Cheng's name."

Although she had decided to take advantage of the fact that Qiu Yingying hadn't followed the rules, Guan Juer still wanted to maintain some dignity for both of them.

If what happened last night was an accident and could be 'forgiven';

Then Qiu Yingying thinking of Chen Cheng while doing her DIY became the most unacceptable thing in Guan Juer's subconscious.

That meant she had fallen for him. Chen Cheng is mine, how could you fall for him?

Hearing Guan Juer say she called Chen Cheng's name in her sleep, Qiu Yingying actually breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Guan Juer had caught her calling Chen Cheng's name while she was doing her DIY.

That would have been social death to the max, social death's mother opening the door—total social death.

Qiu Yingying carefully watched Guan Juer's eyes, feeling very guilty. "No way?"

"Did I really talk in my sleep?"

Guan Juer didn't dwell on the issue. Her eyes flickered as she swallowed hard, giving herself one last mental pep talk, and spoke calmly:

"About what you said this morning, I've thought about it, and I think it's feasible."

Qiu Yingying was a bit dazed. "What's feasible?"

...

On Chen Cheng's side, after 'coaxing' Eleven to sleep, he drove back to 1288.

Fortunately, the two places weren't far apart, both on the banks of the Huangpu River. Chen Cheng arrived in less than twenty minutes.

Walking into the house, Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. Why did today's atmosphere feel just like yesterday's?

The dim yellow light hinted at something unusual.

Chen Cheng changed his shoes and saw that Qiu Yingying's bedroom door was tightly closed.

He blinked, withdrew his gaze, and went straight upstairs.

Entering the bedroom he shared with Guan Juer, he saw her sitting on the floor where they watched the night view last night, drinking by herself.

Chen Cheng frowned and looked at the bed suspiciously.

Fortunately, no one was on the bed this time, otherwise Chen Cheng would have really thought he was stuck in a loop of yesterday.

He took a breath, walked over, and casually tossed his jacket onto the bed stool.

Hearing the noise, Guan Juer looked up. Seeing it was Chen Cheng, she immediately raised her arms. "Brother Cheng, you're back."

Seeing her expression of both crying and laughing, Chen Cheng didn't hesitate. He crouched down, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and hugged her tightly.

He asked softly in her ear, "Why are you crying again?"

Guan Juer didn't speak, but just nuzzled into Chen Cheng's embrace.

Chen Cheng glanced at the beer bottle on the floor, which was less than half full.

He clicked his tongue; she got drunk as soon as she touched alcohol.

Guan Juer's fair arms were wrapped around Chen Cheng's neck. Looking at Chen Cheng's handsome face, she broke into a silly smile.

"Hehe~"

She pursed her lips and leaned toward Chen Cheng's lips.

Seeing her asking for a kiss, Chen Cheng naturally didn't hesitate. He held her cheeks and kissed her.

Only, Chen Cheng didn't expect Guan Juer to be different from before; she was very proactive.

She was actively seeking more, almost as if she were on the offensive.

Before long, Chen Cheng was pushed down onto the floor.

It was the same spot as last night.

But the plot of the story had changed.

Instead of holding the glass to watch the night view, it had turned into riding a horse.

After an unknown amount of time, Guan Juer eventually ran out of stamina.

Chen Cheng took back the initiative.

An hour after Chen Cheng entered the house.

The two of them were lying in bed together, cuddling.

Guan Juer lay on Chen Cheng's chest and spoke in a flat tone:

"Brother Cheng, why don't you be with Yingying too?"

"What?" Chen Cheng's eyes widened instantly. He swallowed and looked at her nervously.

Has my business with Qiu Yingying been exposed?

Wait, if it was exposed, shouldn't she be berating me for cheating and cursing me as a scumbag?

What kind of magical operation is this, letting her boyfriend be with her best friend?

Guan Juer didn't even blink, let alone look up. Her eyes were vacant, her pupils somewhat dilated, as she continued calmly:

"Although what happened yesterday was an accident, it really did happen."

"I really wanted to pretend it didn't happen, but when I came back from dinner with Sister Jennie and the others today, I heard strange sounds coming from Yingying's room."

"I quietly walked over and saw her doing 'handwork' while watching a movie."

"From time to time, she was calling out 'Brother Cheng~ Brother Cheng~'"

Holy crap!

Chen Cheng was completely dumbfounded. How did Qiu Yingying end up doing something so ridiculous?

All of a sudden, the plan for a gradual exposure was completely ruined.

Chen Cheng cupped Guan Juer's face as she lay on his chest and looked at her with 'shock'. "So you want your boyfriend to sacrifice himself?"

Guan Juer's lips curled into a smile, and she gave him a look. "Yingying might have been fast asleep at first, and you might have been dazed too, Brother Cheng. But as time went on, how could you not feel the difference between me and Yingying?"

After saying that, Guan Juer paused for a moment before adding, "You hadn't been drinking last night."

This was something Guan Juer had suddenly realized while pouring herself a drink after returning to the room with the beer bottle.

And then she became even more heartbroken.

Her boyfriend had betrayed her while sober...

(⊙o⊙)...

Chen Cheng was momentarily speechless. Meeting her gaze, he gave a bitter smile and nodded. "Yeah, actually, I realized it last night."

"But, you know, I..."

"Don't say it," Guan Juer said as a trail of tears fell. She reached out and pressed her hand against Chen Cheng's mouth.

She looked up and kissed Chen Cheng's lips, a smile forced onto her face. "I don't blame you."
