Chapter 19: Everything Is Too Late

Cheng Jun had achieved his goal; he had intentionally gotten Jiang Yue drunk to get her into bed.

"Thirsty... so thirsty..." Jiang Yue murmured in a daze as she lay on the bed.

As Cheng Jun stripped off his clothes, he said, "Brother Jun will get you some water in a moment."

For some reason, Jiang Yue suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing that Cheng Jun had already taken off his shirt, she tried to sit up, her mind still clouded.

Cheng Jun spoke gently, "Yueyue, aren't you thirsty? I'll go pour you some water right now."

"You... why did you... take off your clothes?" Jiang Yue instinctively recoiled.

Cheng Jun gave a sly smile. "Yueyue, don't tell me... you don't want this?"

"I..."

Before Jiang Yue could finish, Cheng Jun lunged at her and pressed his lips onto her rosy ones. Jiang Yue let out two muffled cries, then stopped struggling.

Cheng Jun’s movements grew gentler, his hands exploring her body, attempting to undo the buttons of her blouse. Just then, Jiang Yue suddenly shoved him away.

In an instant, she seemed to sober up significantly, her gaze losing its previous haze. She lowered her head and quickly straightened her hair, saying, "Brother Jun, I... I’m a bit tired. I want to go home and sleep."

"Yueyue, what’s wrong? Why are you acting like this?"

"I’m sorry, Brother Jun. I don’t know why either. Just give me some time, okay?"

After saying this, Jiang Yue got off the bed, buttoning her shirt as she walked out. Cheng Jun sighed and had no choice but to follow.

"Yueyue, it’s so late, and you’ve had so much to drink. How will you get home?"

"I’ll take a taxi. It’s fine."

"About just now... I’m sorry!"
