Chapter 129: Awake
Looking at the tempting Qian Xiaoling lying there, the dean chuckled and lunged toward her.
At that critical moment, Liu Ergou kicked open the office door and roared, "You beast, stop right there!"
Hearing the shout, the dean froze, momentarily stunned and unsure of what to do next.
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Ergou charged forward and landed a fierce punch. He put nearly half his strength into the blow, leaving the dean completely dazed. His eyes rolled back into his head, and he passed out.
Seeing the naked dean unconscious on the ground, Liu Ergou kicked him harshly again. "Ptui, you mongrel!"
Spitting, he turned his attention to Qian Xiaoling, who was curled up on the sofa, her face flushed and her body feverish. The drug was taking effect, growing more intense by the second. It was gradually wearing down her last shred of rationality, and alluring moans occasionally escaped her throat, leaving Liu Ergou flustered.
But Liu Ergou wasn't the kind of person to take advantage of someone in their moment of weakness. He quickly approached her, pulling out his silver needles to suppress the drug's effects.
However, just as he was about to act, a pair of small hands grasped his. Liu Ergou froze.
Then, Qian Xiaoling's voice broke the silence. "No, it's too late... Er Gou, just take me!"
Liu Ergou subconsciously stumbled back a few steps, his eyes wide with surprise. They were good friends, nothing more. He never expected her to say something like this, and he was completely at a loss. Although Qian Xiaoling was gorgeous and he was undeniably tempted, he refused to take advantage of her vulnerability.
Under the drug's influence, she couldn't think straight. If he were to listen to her now, she would likely deny everything once she sobered up. By then, he would have no way to defend himself; it would be too late for regrets.
Seeing him standing motionless, Qian Xiaoling thought he hadn't heard her clearly, so she repeated herself.
"Er Gou, please, take me! I won't blame you! I'm so hot and uncomfortable right now; don't hesitate anymore!"
As she spoke, she looked at him with her large, watery eyes. When Liu Ergou met her gaze, he couldn't help but gulp. Undeniably, Qian Xiaoling was intoxicating. Her eyes were filled with a raw allure. Anyone else would have succumbed long ago. It was a testament to Liu Ergou's incredible self-control that he had held out this long.
After a moment's hesitation, he reached his hand toward her.
The moment his hand made contact, Qian Xiaoling, who had been lying on the sofa, sprang up like a leopardess and pounced on him. Her hands flew, tearing at his clothes. It all happened so suddenly that Liu Ergou didn't even have time to react. In a flurry of movement, she ripped his clothes off and kissed him fiercely.
That kiss shattered what little resistance he had left. He completely surrendered.
The two of them were like parched travelers in a desert finally finding an oasis, an overwhelming sense of relief washing over them. It was like the blissful contentment of an overworked employee sinking into a hot spring after a long day.
Just as they were reaching the height of their passion, the dean, who had been knocked unconscious, began to stir. As he came to, he reached up to touch his head, a pained expression crossing his face. Before he could even speak, a preoccupied Liu Ergou reflexively punched him again, knocking him out cold once more.
It was unclear what dose the dean had given Qian Xiaoling, but the two continued until late into the night before they finally stopped. By then, the flush brought on by the drug had been replaced by a different kind of redness—a flush of pleasure and satisfaction.
Qian Xiaoling nestled in Liu Ergou's arms, panting heavily but docile. She had been thoroughly conquered by him.
Liu Ergou, in contrast, was perfectly calm and serene, as if nothing had happened. For him, the recent exertion had barely drained his stamina. A single Qian Xiaoling was far too easy for him to handle.
Just as he was about to say something to her, he looked down and saw that she had fallen into a deep, peaceful sleep in his arms, her breathing even. Seeing her sleeping so soundly, Liu Ergou chuckled and decided not to disturb her. Instead, he held her close and shut his eyes to rest.
Of course, he didn't truly sleep. He remained alert, ready to awaken at the slightest disturbance.
「The night gave way to early morning.」
The sun was just beginning to rise when Liu Ergou opened his eyes and began his practice of the Body Cultivation Technique. This was his daily routine, one he never skipped.
Soon after he finished, the sun had risen high in the sky.
At that moment, the unconscious dean groaned, looking like he was about to wake up. It was that groan that jolted the soundly sleeping Qian Xiaoling awake. Seeing the dean on the floor, his eyelids flickering, Qian Xiaoling scrambled to act. She shot up and frantically began to pull on her clothes.
Just as she was half-dressed, the dean fully regained consciousness.
When he opened his eyes and saw the scene before him, he grew so furious that his blood pressure spiked, and he almost passed out again.
"You... you...!" The dean pointed a trembling finger at Liu Ergou and Qian Xiaoling, sputtering for a long moment without forming a complete sentence.
He was, without a doubt, too enraged to speak. After all, who wouldn't be furious to see the woman they'd gone to such lengths to obtain being so effortlessly taken by another man?
