If they had gone a few days later, not even the gods could save her.
Li Xiang saw the grand gesture, quickly went over to help her up, but no sooner had he done so, Shao Gang kneeled down again.
"Captain Li, you are a benefactor to our family. She’s my only sister. If anything happened to her, how could I face my deceased parents?"
"Hey, you guys... let’s talk after you get up. You’re shaving years off my life; is this how you thank a benefactor?!"
Hearing Li Xiang say this, Lin Feifei giggled while covering her mouth.
The Shao siblings were embarrassed by Li Xiang’s words, had no choice but to stand up.
Cai Yongqing quickly smoothed things over: "Right, Captain Li is here, let him sit down. After a busy day, everyone’s starving, let’s eat."
"Indeed, Captain Li’s been busy with a homicide case these past days, it must have been exhausting, eat more later."
After so small talk, everyone sat down, and Li Xiang introduced his girlfriend, everyone admiringly sighed at his good fortune.
What does it an to have both career and love?
It ans being like Li Xiang.
The dinner was delicious, and the Shao siblings frequently toasted him, leaving Li Xiang a bit troubled.
"I’ve had quite a bit to drink, and I have to work tomorrow."
Seeing Li Xiang trying to dodge, Director Song asked: "Didn’t you solve that dismbernt case? Take a day off, drink freely tonight."
"..." Li Xiang didn’t expect Director Song, usually so strict with work, to backstab him like this, seemingly testing his drinking ability.
"I’m driving, right?"
Cai Yongqing pointed to Lin Feifei: "Didn’t you bring a driver with you?"
"Embarrassed face ~"
Both big excuses failed, Li Xiang felt they had preditated this.
Throughout the evening, besides toasts from the Shao siblings, Cai Yongqing and Director Song also got him to drink a few more glasses.
Even the usually witty and cute Feifei accompanied him with a few cups of tea instead of wine.
"Feifei, you’re teaming up with them to bully ?"
"Where’s that? It’s just because everyone’s having fun."
The al ended with the cost of Li Xiang getting drunk.
With help from everyone, Lin Feifei got Li Xiang into the car.
"Li Xiang, wake up? Really drunk?"
"Darling?"
"Honey?"
In the car, Li Xiang slept like a log, not responding no matter how Feifei called.
"Seems he really drank too much, drank over a catty today, right?"
Feifei also wanted to test Li Xiang’s drinking ability, so she’d have a benchmark for his social drinking when she’s not around, otherwise she wouldn’t be at ease.
Luckily, Li Xiang behaves well when drunk, no fuss, just sleeping peacefully.
Wait a minute~
What’s that hand doing?
While Lin Feifei was driving, suddenly felt a hand reaching over, disrupting her concentration: "What are you doing? I’m driving."
But Li Xiang, except for his brain in his hand, didn’t respond no matter how Lin Feifei called.
Not sure if he was pretending.
But thinking about his drinking earlier, it didn’t seem like it. Left with no choice, she let the unruly hand be for now.
Fortunately, it wasn’t far. Lin Feifei soon parked downstairs, then faced another issue.
Earlier, everyone helped put Li Xiang into the car. Now that they’re back, she’s alone.
How was she supposed to get him upstairs?
"Shouldn’t have let you drink so much, now it’s my problem."
No choice, even if it’s hard, she had to manage.
Pulling Li Xiang out of the car, she placed his arm over her shoulder and carried him up.
But then, that naughty hand started misbehaving, reaching down her neckline...
"Hey...people around."
Lin Feifei nervously looked around, thankfully no one was there, she sighed in relief, otherwise it would have been so awkward!
To avoid drawing attention, she mustered all her strength to carry Li Xiang into the elevator. Just when she relaxed to press the button, a female voice ca from outside: "Wait a minute."
Could this wait? Li Xiang’s hand was being so disobedient, if seen by others, she’d be socially dead on the spot!
Thinking this, she quickly reached for the close button.
Watching the elevator door close slowly, Lin Feifei grew anxious: can’t this stupid door close faster?
Misfortune loves company.
As the door was almost shut, it suddenly reopened...
"Sorry, thank you."
A young girl ran in, evidently she rushed over when the elevator was closing, managing to stop it in ti.
"No worries."
Lin Feifei’s expression froze, fortunately, the unruly hand had withdrawn, saving her from embarrassnt.
Withdrawn???
Wait, was Li Xiang not actually drunk, just pretending!
Realizing this, Lin Feifei was fuming, she pinched his waist hard.
"Still pretending? Let’s see how long you can act!"
Seeing no response, Lin Feifei unconsciously increased her strength.
"Hiss~"
Unable to continue, Li Xiang winced and grabbed her little hands.
"Not pretending anymore?"
"Your pinch sobered up."
Ding~
The elevator arrived, and the young girl got off.
With no one else around, Feifei spoke freely: "Stand properly, don’t you know you’re heavy? How dare you pretend to be drunk, I knew your wandering hand was on purpose."
Li Xiang wasn’t drunk, he never got himself completely wasted. Drinking over a catty without getting drunk surprised him; his usual limit was half a catty, but sohow he got more sober as he went on.
Could it be because of the stamina boost?
It must be.
Boost stamina = increase alcohol tolerance.
"How could I be pretending? I was serious."
The elevator arrived, the two lazily made their way back to their room.
As soon as the door closed, Li Xiang pushed her against the wall...
(What follows isn’t suitable, let’s skip it.)
-------------
Director Song granted a day off, Li Xiang indulged in a rare sleep-in.
He felt refreshed and relaxed.
The stamina boost indeed made a difference, the potential was high.
"Darling, stay ho and relax today, I have so errands to run."
Lin Feifei took a couple of calls in the morning and then inford Li Xiang of her plans.
"What for? Need company?"
"No need, my agent wants to talk about contract termination, I can handle it myself."
Lin Feifei didn’t want to involve Li Xiang, fearing he’d act impulsively for her sake. His occupation was sensitive, and being in the entertainnt industry could invite slander. If they twisted facts, it might affect her boyfriend’s career.
Worse, if they found out Li Xiang was her boyfriend, they might intentionally slander or even threaten her.
Such tactics were commonplace for them, nothing was beyond their capabilities.
The entertainnt industry’s depths were unfathomable.
"Sure you don’t need ?"
"No, you just rest up at ho. If I can’t handle it, I’ll call you in, okay?"
"Okay, as you wish, but if things get out of hand, you must let know. Don’t bear everything alone, understood?"
"Got it, I’m off, bye."
After giving Li Xiang a peck on the cheek, Lin Feifei took the car keys and left.
Once she was out, only Li Xiang and their dog were left in the large house.
"Right, ti to dive into a ga."
With so free ti, Li Xiang took out his phone, seeing the ga he hadn’t played for a while.
Recently, he hadn’t had ti to ga at night.
Clicking the ga icon, he entered the simulation space.
In an instant, Li Xiang’s surroundings lted away like snow under the sun, turning into nothingness.
A virtual world took shape, stretching endlessly."
[Ding, player Li Xiang, welco to the Police Simulator’s simulation space.]
