38: Chapter 38 A Farewell Treat! Chen Li's Behavior is Somewhat Strange!
Chapter 38: A Farewell Treat! A Slightly Different Chen Li!
The reserved hotpot restaurant was just on a nearby street, and the taste wasn't bad.
In August, Rongcheng had already begun to feel muggy.
Their table was set outside the shop, and a cool breeze blew through from time to time.
The sound of men playing drinking games occasionally drifted over from the next table!

While eating hotpot, Dong Fang felt like having some iced beer.
Su Yang and Chen Li also ordered beer to join him!
Drinking iced beer in the summer was quite refreshing!
After finishing a bottle, Dong Fang started chatting about recent housing prices and his own house.
He said he hadn't even received his house yet, and his down payment was almost completely eroded by the price drops.
Furthermore, now that the house was about to be topped out, he was starting to worry again!
He was worried the building would be left unfinished!
Then, he talked about the state of the decoration industry in Rongcheng, saying that the work pressure was immense!
Su Yang listened quietly, occasionally joining Yang Yun in offering a few words of comfort to Dong Fang.
In the end, Dong Fang shook his slightly dizzy head and said:
"I think I'm a bit drunk..."
Su Yang looked at Chen Li, and Chen Li, who had been quiet for a while, said:
"I've had enough to eat!"
Yang Yun smiled and said, "I'm full too. Let's go back!"
Dong Fang was actually still conscious, but his steps were a bit unsteady, so he needed Yang Yun to support him.
Su Yang glanced at Chen Li, who had also drunk several bottles of beer.
She walked with her head down, but her steps were quite steady.
Back in his room, Su Yang organized things a bit and realized he didn't have much to take with him.
Just some clothes, shoes, bedding, and a laptop that had been in service for four years and whirred loudly every time it was turned on.
He turned on the air conditioner and lay down on the familiar bed.
Su Yang couldn't help but recall the scene when he first arrived.
Just as he was drifting off, there was a knock at the door.
"Su Yang!"
Chen Li's voice came from outside the door.
"What is it?"
"Go take your shower!" Chen Li's voice came from outside. "I'm finished!"
"Okay!"
Carrying his basin and toiletries, Su Yang went to the bathroom.
The bathroom was still steamy and smelled fragrant.
It seemed to be the scent from Chen Li's body.
The scent made him feel a bit heated!
Recently, he had not only been exercising consistently, but his body had also been comprehensively strengthened... he was a bit too healthy!
After finishing his shower feeling restless, he put on his clothes and returned to his room.
He locked the door and turned around, only to be startled.
There was actually a woman lying on his bed.
Half a minute later, he finally calmed his mind a bit.
The door to the rental apartment was definitely closed; Su Yang was very sure of that!
So there were only two women in the entire apartment!
Yang Yun and Chen Li!
Chen Li?
"Sister Chen Li?"
No one responded.
Is she drunk?
Asleep?
She was even wrapped in his quilt...
Su Yang approached the bedside quietly and brushed aside her somewhat messy black hair.
She was sleeping on her stomach!
Su Yang could see her beautiful profile, as well as her closed eyelids and long eyelashes.
"Sister Chen Li?"
Still no response!
"Sister Chen Li, you've walked into the wrong room!"
Su Yang hesitated for a moment and decided to carry her back to her own room.
It wasn't that he was some saintly gentleman, but what if it really was a misunderstanding?
Right then, Chen Li suddenly opened her beautiful, watery eyes: "With just that little bit of alcohol, you didn't really think I'd get drunk, did you?"
Su Yang swallowed hard. "Then why are you in my room?"
Chen Li sat up, knelt on the bed, and gently hugged his waist, whispering:
"I just wanted to try it. I won't cling to you!"
Since she had put it that way, Su Yang really couldn't be polite anymore!
"Turn off the light!"
Chen Li called out softly.
He couldn't reach it!
He really couldn't reach it.
In the end, Chen Li ignored everything else and turned off the light herself.
Not long after, Yang Yun walked out of her room.
She curiously glanced at Su Yang's room and then looked back at Chen Li's room.
With a gentle push, she found that Chen Li's door was just slightly ajar. Noticing she wasn't inside, Yang Yun roughly understood who was in Su Yang's room!
She went to pour a glass of water, and after drinking half of it, she couldn't help but complain:
"They could at least be a bit quieter!"
But she really hadn't expected Chen Li to be so proactive!
Su Yang being proactive?
She didn't believe it!
Returning to her room, she nudged her husband.
"What is it?"
Dong Fang asked groggily.
"Time to pay the 'public grain'!"
"I'm drunk!"
He quickly rolled over to face the wall.
"Hmph! You think I don't know you're still awake?"
"Don't!"
At 7:30 the next morning, Su Yang woke up on time.
Seeing the woman still hugging his waist and sleeping on his chest, he couldn't help but recall the events of the previous night.
He really hadn't expected Chen Li to come to his room.
As for what happened last night, he naturally had no regrets.
What's done is done!
However, he also realized that it seemed to have been Chen Li's first time.
He seemed to have gone a bit too far last night.
Thinking that besides checking out, there were no plans for the morning, Su Yang simply decided to keep sleeping.
He would wait until Chen Li woke up!
If he ran away now, it would make him look like he had a guilty conscience.
When Su Yang woke up again, he was awakened by the movements of the person beside him.
"Are you awake?"
Su Yang let out a yawn.
He hadn't slept in for a long time.
Turning his head, he saw Chen Li putting on her somewhat tattered nightgown.
Chen Li asked, "What time is it now?"
Su Yang grabbed his phone and took a look. "Almost ten o'clock!"
Chen Li turned her head and complained, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Su Yang said pretentiously, "Didn't I just wake up too?"
"My clothes!"
"The quality of these clothes isn't good. Don't go to that shop next time!"
"Hmph!"
Chen Li didn't argue with Su Yang. She stepped into her slippers, glanced at the bedsheet, and directly grabbed it to drag it away. Su Yang, who was lying on the bed, was pulled into a roll and ended up lying on the mattress padding.
"What are you doing?"
"Helping you wash your bedsheets!"
Chen Li quickly bundled up the sheets and walked out the door.
Su Yang quickly put on his pants and followed her out.
At this hour, Dong Fang and his wife were definitely not around.
Just as he stepped out of the room, he heard a phone ringing.
Walking to the door of Chen Li's room, he saw her answering the phone.
"I'm sorry!"
"I'll be there right away!"
"..."
Chen Li hung up the phone and saw the handsome man leaning against the door.
The man was bare-chested, and his lean, strong muscles made Chen Li daze for a moment!
She really hadn't noticed last night!
No wonder it hurt so much!
This guy is a beast!
Su Yang asked casually, "A call from the company?"
"Yeah."
"Got scolded?"
"Yeah."
Su Yang suggested, "Since it's already this late, you might as well take the day off!"
"No, it's very busy lately!"
"Take a leave," Su Yang urged. "If the company can't function without you, then it's not far from closing down anyway."
Chen Li stared at Su Yang and suddenly stopped talking.
Just as Su Yang was about to continue speaking, he saw Chen Li's eyes fill with tears.
She quickly lowered her head, and tears began to stream down.
This...
Su Yang sighed, sat on the edge of her bed, and gently touched her messy hair.
As if a switch had been flipped, Chen Li suddenly hugged his waist and pressed him onto the bed.
Soon, Su Yang felt his stomach starting to get wet!
Lying on Chen Li's bed, Su Yang rested his head on one hand and stroked her head with the other, staring blankly at the ceiling.
He felt that he must have inadvertently triggered something in Chen Li.
He recalled the events of last night when he took Chen Li and the Dong Fang couple out for hotpot.
Chen Li had been drinking and eating the whole time without saying much, as if she had something on her mind.
