PDLP Chapter 31 Licking the Dog
Chapter 31 Licking the Dog
The card game lasted three hours, and Shen Ruoxuan drank the most.
Her luck with the cards was actually pretty good, but she was too goal-oriented, deliberately targeting Su Jie, wanting to win his hand and make him drink.
So often, you don't win when you should, and end up getting a big hand instead.
Su Jie and Ye Jingyao were much more rational; they ran when they needed to and didn't deliberately target anyone, so they lost the least.
Seeing Shen Ruoxuan's face turn completely red, Su Jie smiled and said, "That's all for today, you guys should get some rest."
Shen Ruoxuan's tongue was slurred from drinking. "You...you don't go, I can still drink!"
After drinking, Ye Jingyao's usually cool face flushed slightly. "Su Jie, she's drunk. I can't get her back by myself. Could you help her back to her room?"
Su Jie nodded. "Then I'll carry her back to her room."
"hey-hey--"
Seeing the man approach, Shen Ruoxuan was stunned. Her eyes glazed with drunkenness, she stretched out her arms and said, "You're finally hugging me!"
Su Jie's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if the woman in front of him was pretending to be drunk or if she was really drunk.
He simply picked the girl up in a princess carry; she was soft and smooth.
The scent of perfume mixed with the smell of alcohol on her body made people want to get closer, yet also made them feel somewhat repulsed.
Take the elevator back to your room.
After placing the girl on the bed, Su Jie poured a glass of hot water and placed it on the bedside table.
"Drink water if you're thirsty, and get some rest."
"Let's get up early tomorrow morning. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's try to visit all the attractions."
Watching the man leave, Ye Jingyao cautiously locked the door from the inside. "Are you going to take a shower?"
Shen Ruoxuan slowly turned over. "I...I'm drunk, I don't want to wash!"
Ye Jingyao directly called out her best friend, "They've already left, be normal."
"hey-hey--"
Shen Ruoxuan sat up with a smile, "My best friend, you're so kind!"
"I'm not good."
Ye Jingyao shook her head. "If I were healthy, you wouldn't have let me drink with you."
Shen Ruoxuan said, "Let's continue playing tomorrow night!"
Ye Jingyao's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. She stepped forward, grabbed her best friend, and slapped her hard on the buttocks.
"Snap—"
"You want me dead?!"
Rubbing her bottom, Shen Ruoxuan arched her back against the pillow and cried out, "Ouch!"
"It hurts so much!"
Ye Jingyao's attitude was very firm: "I felt terrible after drinking today, and I will never drink again tomorrow, even if it kills me."
"My best friend, Yao Yao, please help me!"
Shen Ruoxuan hugged her best friend, "In just these past two days, my relationship with Su Jie has progressed by leaps and bounds!"
"I'll hold his hand today, and kiss him tomorrow!"
She paused for a moment, then asked innocently, "Do you think if I kiss him, I'll be his girlfriend?"
Ye Jingyao shook her head rationally, "No."
Shen Ruoxuan frowned. "Why not?"
"You're only your girlfriend if someone kisses you first."
Ye Jingyao spoke without any mercy, "For you to initiate a kiss is despicable!"
"Who's despicable?"
Shen Ruoxuan sat up abruptly. "I'm not shameless."
"I wonder what's so great about that Su Jie?"
Ye Jingyao shook her head. "You like him that much."
"You don't understand!"
Shen Ruoxuan said mysteriously, "I don't blame you."
She wouldn't say that men can earn seven figures a month.
What does it mean to earn a seven-figure monthly income in your early twenties?
There are probably no more than ten men like this in the entire city of Chengdu.
She must have had some incredible luck to meet someone like this.
I can't be bothered with you.
Ye Jingyao rolled her eyes. "You're just a hopeless romantic now."
"well--"
Lying on the bed, Shen Ruoxuan grumbled, "They say fools are lucky, but I'm so foolish, why am I still not lucky?"
Ye Jingyao laughed and said, "You're an idiot, you're definitely not lucky."
Shen Ruoxuan angrily swung her hand at her best friend, yelling, "Watch out, or I'll beat you up!"
"I don't think Su Jie is any easy person to deal with either."
Avoiding her best friend's attack, Ye Jingyao reminded her, "You've already offered yourself up, and he still doesn't agree."
"I think he's just stringing you along on purpose, treating you like a lovesick fool!"
Shen Ruoxuan didn't care. "I like him, so be it. In love, someone has to be the one to 'simp'!"
Looking at her best friend who was beyond redemption, Ye Jingyao was completely exasperated.
"Shen Ruoxuan, you damn simp!"
"I've only truly seen you for who you are today. When you're heartbroken and crying your eyes out, don't come looking for me!"
Shen Ruoxuan lay back down, "We're never going to break up!"
She'd be an idiot to break up with a boyfriend like that.
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Yaoyao, what kind of boy do you like?"
Ye Jingyao also lay down beside her, saying, "You've asked me this question many times already."
Shen Ruoxuan smiled and said, "They have to be pleasing to the eye and have a certain level of financial strength."
"I have been accepted into graduate school, and if I have the opportunity later, I will choose to pursue a doctorate."
Ye Jingyao described her future: "I won't date during my studies; I'll focus on my studies. Once I graduate and find a good job, these issues won't be problems anymore."
"In fact, even if we strive our whole lives, we sometimes can't even reach the starting point of others."
Thinking of the woman she saw on Su Jie's WeChat Moments, Shen Ruoxuan couldn't help but sigh, "She should have just found a good man to marry and enjoyed the happiness of life."
"I'm not like you."
Ye Jingyao said calmly, "You have your parents to help you, but I only have myself."
"Yao Yao!"
Shen Ruoxuan smiled and extended her hand, "Let's be best friends for life. I'll be your strongest support from now on!"
"Best friends forever."
Ye Jingyao laughed and grabbed her best friend's hand, "As long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you!"
"If that Su Jie ever treats you badly again, I'll take care of him for you."
With a strong pull, Shen Ruoxuan yanked her best friend over. "How about we continue drinking tomorrow?"
"Snap—"
"roll!"
Ye Jingyao slapped him across the face, "Don't make me hit you!"
……
I woke up at six o'clock.
Su Jie went to the gym on the second floor of the hotel for a run.
Half an hour later—
[Today's Body and Spirit round has ended. Reward: 10,000 yuan and 0.1 health points!]
Wiping the sweat from his face, Su Jie picked up his phone and went back to his room upstairs.
He doesn't need to train for too long each day; just running for half an hour regularly is enough.
He gained some health points yesterday, and he could clearly feel that his muscle definition had become more pronounced.
He used to have only four abs, but now he has six.
Even the legendary V-line has a clearer outline now.
Su Jie expressed his satisfaction with these changes.
He doesn't like the explosive muscles of bodybuilders; he's fine as he is now.
After getting ready, he sent Shen Ruoxuan a message, inviting her downstairs for breakfast, preparing to begin the highlight of this trip—Jiuzhaigou!
The Huanglong Scenic Area brought him regret, but he didn't care.
If Jiuzhaigou doesn't work either, he'll start cursing.
