Chapter 98: Chapter 98: How Did You Get In?
Su Lu had slept comfortably, and when she awoke, sunlight was already streaming in through the windows, casting warm orange patches on the carpet beside the bed.
She stretched lazily while checking her phone and walked to the bedroom door, then heard some noises outside.
Startled, Su Lu’s previously relaxed expression turned vigilant, and she cautiously opened the bedroom door.
The sight in the living room stopped her in her tracks.
On the sofa in the living room, a man hung upside down as he slept.
His long legs were still on the sofa, but his body lay on the carpet in front of the sofa. It was unclear whether he had fallen asleep in that pose or had slid off during his sleep—was it from the start, or had he slipped down midway?
But that wasn’t the main point—the main point was... when had he come? How had he entered?
Su Lu stared blankly at the scene in the living room, blinking once, then again.
For a moment, she felt as if she hadn’t fully awakened, still trapped in a dream.
But after opening and closing her eyes, the scene before her remained unchanged, clearly not a dream.
It was very much real.
Su Lu glanced at her phone, wondering if she had missed a call, which was why she didn’t know about this.
But there were no missed calls or unread messages on her phone.
Su Lu could only walk over, squat beside him with knees hugged, and gently poked him with her finger.
"Wake up, Bo Jingshen."
The man was completely unresponsive, motionless, which wasn’t surprising—he had earlier laid his hand directly on the coffee table, and Su Lu heard the noise from her room, but he still didn’t wake up.
Not to mention now.
Su Lu called out again, "Bo Jingshen, wake up."
Still no response.
He must have drunk too much, Su Lu thought, although she didn’t know what could have led him to drink like this. If she remembered correctly, when they had reunited at Yunding, they had three glasses of whiskey together. She ended up vomiting in the washroom, disoriented.
And he was completely fine, even had the time to pin her against the washroom wall and handle things there...
Seeing that he still didn’t respond, Su Lu couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and gently poke his face, her voice even softer, not so much to wake him, more like a casual call.
She whispered, "Ah Shen, wake up."
The man who had been silent and unresponsive all this while, with a tranquil sleeping face, suddenly showed a slight change in expression. He frowned lightly, raised his hand to cover his forehead, his voice low and husky.
His syllables stretched, "Su Lulu, I’m sleepy..."
The deep, husky voice, elongating the syllables, seemed almost coquettish.
Su Lu paused.
She had heard this voice from him plenty of times, but that was years ago.
Back when they were still together.
Most of the time, Bo Jingshen was very accommodating to her, to say he was utterly compliant wouldn’t be an exaggeration, but sometimes he would act coquettishly like this.
It almost made Su Lu willing to agree to anything he wanted.
Now, hearing that voice again,
Su Lu paused, no longer able to try waking him up.
She stayed squatting, silently staring at his sleeping face for a moment, then stood up and quietly went into the kitchen.
She took ingredients from the refrigerator, placed a pot on the stove, and busily began preparing.
She started cooking a pot of hangover soup for him.
When the soup was nearly done, Su Lu walked to the living room intending to check if Bo Jingshen had awakened a bit, but just then, the sound of the intercom doorbell rang.
Su Lu was startled and quickly walked to the vestibule, only to see Su Zhe’s face on the intercom screen.
She hurriedly answered.
"Hello?"
"Are you up? I brought you breakfast, let me come up and wait for you," said Su Zhe.
Su Lu’s lips were tightly pursed as she thought of the person on the carpet in front of her couch, still stretched out and not yet awake.
"I’ll come down; it’s less trouble for you. When are we leaving?" Su Lu said immediately.
She hadn’t forgotten that Su Zhe said they were going to stir things up at the Su Residence today.
Su Zhe didn’t find anything wrong and replied, "Oh, then hurry up, I’m waiting for you in the car."
"Okay." Su Lu hung up the phone and then felt her heart pounding violently.
The nervousness was really something... It was probably no less than being caught cheating.
She took a deep breath to calm down, then hurried into the kitchen where the hangover soup was already done.
Su Lu took the pot down, grabbed a heat pad, and placed the pot on the coffee table.
Then she rushed to the bathroom to wash up. After she was ready to leave, she thought for a moment, wrote a note, and stuck it on the pot lid.
Then she hurriedly changed her shoes and left the house.
She saw Su Zhe leaning against the car, slowly and elegantly... eating a chive pocket.
Su Lu: "..."
When Su Zhe saw her, he handed her the bag, "Here, while it’s hot."
"This early in the morning, eating something so flavorful?" Although it was delicious, Su Lu took it and bit into it eagerly.
Su Zhe gave her a sidelong glance, "What? I have to go back and deal with them; do I need to worry about having fresh breath too? If you don’t like it, give it back."
Su Lu turned around and continued eating deliciously.
Su Zhe watched her turn around and eat heartily, with a smile tugging at his lips.
He took out wet wipes and mouthwash from the car and handed her a bottle of mouthwash. This wasn’t because he considered fresh breath just for Zhu Xinyan and Su Jiao but because both were about to get into the car.
The enclosed space of the car with two people who had just eaten chive pockets would honestly have a significant effect.
After dealing with the breath issue, they finally got into the car.
Su Zhe drove smoothly out, Su Lu had thought they were heading straight to the Su Residence, wondering if it was a bit rude to kick someone out so early, even though it was indeed very satisfying...
But then she noticed Su Zhe’s route.
"Huh? This isn’t the way back," Su Lu said, puzzled.
Su Zhe: "We’re going to pick someone up at the airport first."
Su Lu blinked. She didn’t ask who they were picking up, but she already had a vague idea and subconsciously gripped the seatbelt tightly across her chest.
Su Zhe glanced at her, saw her tightly pursed lips, and sighed lightly, "What are you afraid of? With me here, he can’t eat you."
Su Lu shook her head, "I’m not afraid of him eating me."
It’s just that sometimes, it’s not about literally consuming someone; just those sharp, icy attitudes are enough to hurt. noveldrama
Su Zhe drove all the way to the airport.
There weren’t many flights arriving in the morning, so the airport lobby was quite empty.
Su Lu followed Su Zhe to the front of the international arrivals exit, waiting.
Listening to the bilingual announcements of flight arrivals in the empty airport lobby.
Su Zhe said, "It’s this one."
