Chapter 673 - 678: Murong Jialan VS Lou Xining 15
They picked a somewhat quiet coffee shop.
Alan and Lou Xining sat facing each other.
In front of them, there was a steaming cup of coffee respectively.
Drinking coffee at this hour wasn’t for any other reason but to keep each other awake.
Between the two coffee cups, there was a small package of white stuff.
It wasn’t the powdery substance Alan had imagined, but something wrapped in a white silk cloth.
Earlier in the alley, the lighting was poor, so she only vaguely saw something white and naturally assumed it was something bad...
But after opening it, she discovered that lying inside was just a key.
A bit worn, it clearly had some age to it.
The reason Lou Xining went to meet the red-haired man in that alley today was to retrieve this key.
Lou Xining slightly frowned, looking uncharacteristically serious at the girl with her head bowed in front of him.
Seeing her like this, she looked like a wilted eggplant, completely deflated.
Presumably, she realized she had misunderstood him.
"What on earth do you think about all day? Watched too many cop movies?" Lou Xining still couldn’t figure out how she could mistake a piece of white paper for drugs!
"..." Alan didn’t dare to speak, her face burning fiercely red.
She didn’t know why she had thought that either...
Alan remained silent, and Lou Xining, getting more brazen, continued to scold her, "Followed me all the way? Tackled me, and even..."
As he continued, a trace of embarrassment flickered in Lou Xining’s eyes, and he stopped speaking.
Originally, he had wanted to reprimand her, but thinking about what happened after they fell together, a tight sensation hit below his abdomen!
That feeling of her soft little hand wrapping around him...
Oh! His head felt hot!
Alan also recalled the earlier accident, and suddenly, her palm holding the coffee cup grew burning hot!
"I... I had a few drinks before, was really drunk, can’t remember a thing!" Alan said, her face unfazed while uttering these unconvincingly weak words, hurriedly bowing her head to sip coffee, avoiding eye contact with her big bewildered eyes!
What a miscalculation!
How... how could she have done such a thing!
What a disaster... And the person involved happened to be Lou Xining?
How could she face him in the future?
Would he think she was a wanton woman?
So wronged!
So... the best way was to deny everything!
Lou Xining paused, it wasn’t that he hadn’t considered Alan might deny it, after all, both parties forgetting would probably be the best outcome, right?
But seeing her so openly denying it, suddenly... there was a bit of disappointment.
A person like him normally wouldn’t care about such matters, but this time, he didn’t know why, he strangely didn’t want her to forget this incident.
"Didn’t you say you could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? Doing but not acknowledging, is this your style?" Lou Xining said these words to conceal his inner guilt, intentionally making his tone severe.
He figured using a severe tone would make him seem less strange, right?
He couldn’t understand himself either, this was originally an accident, why would he take it up with a little girl?
Upon reflection, maybe... physical contact could bring them closer?
He couldn’t quite explain, he just didn’t want to be too distant from her.
Maybe he wanted a bit more connection...
Sitting across from Lou Xining, Alan naturally couldn’t understand these thoughts of his, just hearing his words — doing but not acknowledging — was enough to make her blush once again!
