First update,

...

Stepping out of the noisy bar and into the night, a bright full moon hung high in the sky, casting a faint moonlight.

The deep autumn night breeze was incredibly cold, sending chills over one's entire body.

Martin felt nothing, his body was practically impervious to heat and cold. Even standing in snow during winter wouldn't bother him much; at worst, his Life Points would slowly decrease.

However, Chu Yunxuan's body wasn't as resilient as Martin's. As soon as the cold breeze hit her, she involuntarily shivered and broke free from Martin's large hand, wrapping her arms around herself, obviously feeling cold.

"Just bear with it,"

Martin took off his jacket and wrapped it around Chu Yunxuan, but the jacket wasn't very thick, so it didn't help much, which was why Martin could only say that.

"I'm fine..."

Chu Yunxuan gave Martin a rare smile.

Perhaps due to the cool breeze, Chu Yunxuan's eyes seemed clearer, and it seemed that the alcohol's effect had somewhat diminished, except for the flattering flush on her fair cheeks.

It wasn't shyness, but rather the effect of the alcohol. After all, she had indeed drunk quite a bit, especially Martin's Martini which packed a strong punch, and it was about time for it to take effect.

"I'll go get the car..."

Seeing that Chu Yunxuan had sobered up a bit, Martin also relaxed and pointed towards the distant parking lot, saying he'd go and bring the car.

In a short while, Martin drove over in Chu Yunxuan's Audi. The roof had been raised; driving a convertible in such icy cold night wasn't a great idea. Martin would probably be fine, but likely Chu Yunxuan would catch a cold on the way back…

Once in the car, with the heater turned on, the temperature began to rise, the chill on Chu Yunxuan softened a lot. Warmed by the heat and the rising effects of the alcohol, Chu Yunxuan became drowsy again and soon appeared to fall asleep.

Martin didn't mind and continued to drive towards home. Although he was not very familiar with the route, he had driven it once before, and with the help of GPRS navigation, he wouldn't get lost.

"Where are we going?"

However, Chu Yunxuan's sleep didn't seem restful; in less than five minutes, she woke up, looked outside at the unfamiliar surroundings, and asked with confused eyes, clearly puzzled about her location.

"Back to the military district. Where else would we go..."

Martin gave Chu Yunxuan a surprised look and responded somewhat perplexedly.

"Oh..."

Chu Yunxuan hummed in response, whether she heard Martin's reply or not, and seemed to fall asleep again, but after about ten seconds woke up again, "I... don't want to go back!"

"Er..."

This caught Martin off guard. He looked over at Chu Yunxuan sitting beside him, unsure what she meant by "don't want to go back."

However, he didn't stop, and the car was still on the move, about to leave the city.

"Thought you could hold your liquor, but it turns out..."

Martin shook his head softly, noting that Chu Yunxuan did have an impressive tolerance for alcohol. Among the women he knew, none could drink more than her, but when the effects of the alcohol hit, she couldn't handle it either.

By comparison, Martin could handle his liquor much better, possibly because of that mediocre "Drinking" Skill. He could drink a dozen beers and still feel relatively unaffected.

It was all legitimate—he hadn't cheated using the Props Box. At the moment, his stomach still felt like a water balloon, and upon opening his mouth, one could smell the alcohol.

Of course, getting tipsy was inevitable. Even the most seasoned drinkers had their limits; it was just a matter of time. Martin guessed that he would probably sleep in until noon the next day.

"Ugh~~"

In the midst of sleep, Chu Yunxuan suddenly woke up, then with a lightning-fast move, she turned over and opened her mouth... and vomited!

Martin was driving from the driver's seat, with Chu Yunxuan's head resting on his shoulder, and as she turned, her head fell from his shoulder, face downwards, and hence... she vomited all over Martin.

Driving Martin was really put out; stuck in the driver's seat, he caught all of the foul-smelling vomit that had spewed forth.

Screech~~

Martin couldn't stay composed any longer and immediately slammed on the brakes, stopping the car on the side of the road.

Faced with the vomit that now clung to him, Martin, like anyone, was distressed. Jumping out of the car, he rushed to clean it up.

To say he cleaned up was an overstatement; all he did was scrape off the vomit. Changing clothes on the street wasn't an option, and he would have to deal with his clothes later.

When Martin looked back after cleaning up and tried to get Chu Yunxuan out of the passenger seat, she had vomited again, soiling her own clothes. Although it wasn't as severe as with Martin, for a woman, this was absolutely unacceptable.

"This is bad..."

Staring at the mess on the driver's seat, Martin just had a wry smile. He couldn't even sit down anymore; the car was definitely not drivable at this point.

"I'm sorry..."

Chu Yunxuan was also a bit embarrassed, but her mind was still quite fuzzy, and managing to say those words was already giving face.

After such a severe bout of vomiting, Chu Yunxuan sobered up a bit, but she felt weak, as she had been close to vomiting up even the bitter bile, and her face was quite pale.

"Forget it, it's my fault anyway!"

Qin Fang smiled wryly and shook his head—although Chu Yunxuan had taken the initiative to drink, he was a part of it too, especially since most of her current state was probably his doing. That glass of Martini was not so easily dealt with.

"Let's just take a cab, or I'll call Brother Li to pick us up…"

In the dead of night, the streets were already deserted, and there weren't many cars heading out of town. Moreover, ordinary people wouldn't dare to drive out of the city so late, for who knows whether they'd encounter robbers or murderers.

Besides, not just any vehicle could enter the military area. Although Chu Yunxuan's car had a pass and wouldn't have a problem, the average taxi could forget about it, as they wouldn't even see the gate without going through multiple checkpoints.

Even if one managed to reach the gate, they would still have to pass through many inspections. Qin Fang was just a commoner, and bringing a military-registered woman back to the military area in the middle of the night was bound to be troublesome.

The only option was to get Li Yang to come and pick them up, even if it meant disturbing his sleep in the middle of the night.

That's why Qin Fang had a furrowed brow as he spoke. He had his concerns since he was indebted to the Li family, but he couldn't keep them from getting any sleep.

"I... I won't go back! Take me… find a place… to stay!"

It was understandable that Qin Fang had these concerns, but there was no other choice. He was not alone and had to consider Chu Yunxuan who was with him.

But surprisingly, the beautiful Chu Yunxuan was straightforward. Seemingly not wanting to return to the military area, she took the initiative to ask to stay in the city.

"Alright…"

Looking at their clothes, Qin Fang could only smile wryly. There was no way to drive the car; they had to leave it there and send it for cleaning the next day. He simply locked the car doors and, with Chu Yunxuan's soft, snake-like body in his arms, headed to a nearby hotel.

It was a good thing that they were in the city when the accident happened. If the car had broken down halfway, it would have been truly problematic. Not only would they not find a place to stay, but even getting a taxi would be difficult, and they might have ended up having to drive back to the military area, queasy as that would be.

Checking into a hotel with a beautiful woman!

That seemed like a delightful experience.

But right now, Qin Fang couldn't feel happy about it at all, as the odors coming from both of them were quite unpleasant. What he most wanted to do was rush to take a bath and change into fresh clothes.

Chu Yunxuan next to him was the same, with her cute nose wrinkled and her facial expression scrunched up. However, she was really too weak and limp to do anything but let Qin Fang hold her, which made both of them quite miserable...

Chu Yunxuan's body was very soft and supple, almost as if it had no bones at all. Her tall figure leaned against Qin Fang, and to maintain balance, she couldn't help but wrap her arms around Qin Fang's robust waist. Her full, towering peaks constantly rubbed against Qin Fang's ribs, their cooperation remarkably in sync.

This kind of physical contact was not at all enjoyable for Qin Fang; it was pure torment, yet he could only bear with it.

Fortunately, the hotel wasn't far from where they got out of the car. After walking just a short distance for over five minutes, they arrived.

The hotel was named Jingtai, a three-star establishment. In a city like Jincheng, it wasn't considered very good, nor was it too bad. Qin Fang wasn't picky about that; he just wanted to quickly get a room to bathe and change clothes.

It was nearly three o'clock, and there were basically no guests checking in at this time. The hotel lobby was pretty quiet, with only a young man sitting behind the service desk, supporting his head with his hands, seemingly dozing off or perhaps dreaming, with drool glistening at the corner of his mouth.

Knock, knock, knock~~

Qin Fang didn't care if he was dreaming; he knocked on the service desk, immediately awakening the attendant.

"Who's there... so late at night... Uh! Good evening, how may I help you?"

He was in the middle of a fierce battle in his dreams with an antenna-like beauty when he was suddenly awakened—a truly irritating thing. The young man couldn't help but complain, but he quickly realized what was happening and instantly snapped to full alertness.

Looking at Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan, he immediately put on his brightest smile and asked very politely.

"Two rooms, please…"

Qin Fang didn't mind the young man's complaints. He somewhat understood the feeling, but this didn't affect his purpose for coming there.

However, after asking for two rooms, he couldn't help but frown and looked at Chu Yunxuan in his arms, then quickly changed his request, "Wait… do you have duplex suites available?"

"Yes, we do!"

The young man originally thought Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan were a young couple coming to check in and was surprised when Qin Fang asked for two rooms.

After Qin Fang inquired about a duplex suite, the young man's mouth couldn't help but curve into a somewhat strange smile as he nodded quickly in affirmation.

"Then let's get one of those."

Qin Fang of course understood the young man's smile. They were of similar age, and their thoughts weren't too different. However, Qin Fang's reason for changing his order wasn't what the young man would guess.

Qin Fang didn't particularly care. Although he had drunk quite a bit, he wouldn't have any issues. After a bath and change of clothes, he could still easily sleep until daylight.

But with Chu Yunxuan in such a drunk state, leaving her alone in a room could lead to unexpected issues. Although Qin Fang had no obligation to take care of her, he certainly had some responsibility.

Choosing a duplex suite meant they would still have separate rooms, but Qin Fang could keep an ear out for any noise from Chu Yunxuan's side. If she made a fuss, he could step in and help prevent her night from being too miserable.

If that were the case, who knew how she would deal with Qin Fang once she sobered up.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Qin Fang was willing to make do... (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to cast your vote for recommendation and monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation.)
