Chapter 1917: A Night of Wine
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Look at you, you’re being too suspicious of a gentleman’s character,” Lin Yi said.

“Drinking is just to lighten the mood. As for other things, I can do them without drinking.”

“You’re never serious.”

Liang Ruoxu replied, putting a piece of rib on Lin Yi’s plate before heading back to the kitchen. She returned with four bottles of beer, opening two and filling their glasses.

“Surviving a catastrophe brings good fortune. Here’s to that.”

“Cheers.”

They clinked glasses, drank, and began eating.

The atmosphere wasn’t particularly lively, and their conversation revolved around everyday topics.

Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning Ji Qingyan.

Though it was an issue both needed to face, neither wanted to bring it up at that moment.

An hour later, they had nearly finished eating.

The fridge, once filled with beer, now held only empty bottles.

After dinner, they curled up on the couch to watch TV.

The content didn’t matter much to them.

The real joy was in being together, wasting time in each other’s company.

Around ten at night, Liang Ruoxu stretched and stood up.

“I’m going to take a shower.”

“I’ll go too. Let’s do it together.”

“You’re dreaming,” Liang Ruoxu replied playfully, her nose wrinkling cutely.

“It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Can’t you just be straightforward?”

“Not a chance. Wait until I’m done.”

Lin Yi, left to his own devices, idly watched TV.

About twenty minutes later, Liang Ruoxu emerged, wrapped in a towel. Despite the modesty of her attire, it couldn’t hide her ample curves.

“Your turn. Go shower.”

With that, she returned to the bedroom. Lin Yi’s heart raced, sensing that tonight might be the night they went all the way.

Lin Yi showered quickly, finishing in just over ten minutes.

When he returned to the room, he saw Liang Ruoxu with her back to the door, drying her hair, presenting an elegant and ethereal silhouette.

“So quick?”

“Life is too short to waste on unimportant things. We should save time for important matters.”

“Important matters?”

Lin Yi didn’t respond with words but with actions, pouncing on her.

Initially, Liang Ruoxu resisted, but she soon gave in, her breathing becoming rapid. In a barely audible voice, she spoke.

“The lights are still on.”

“That’s easy to fix.”

Lin Yi grabbed the remote from the bedside table and threw it at the light switch, plunging the room into darkness and making the atmosphere more intimate.

“What’s the rush? The curtains aren’t drawn.”

“You live on the 21st floor. There isn’t a soul out there, and the lights are off. Don’t tell me you are scared of ghosts?”

“Still, they need to be drawn. Do it.”

“Alright.”

Resigned, Lin Yi got up and drew the curtains.

The room became pitch black. Lin Yi found his way back to the bed and once again embraced Liang Ruoxu.

In the darkness, they held each other tightly, feeling each other’s racing heartbeats and heavy breaths.

“Promise me you won’t do anything dangerous again.”

Liang Ruoxu’s voice lingered in Lin Yi’s ears for a long time.

“I promise you.”

After getting Lin Yi’s answer, Liang Ruoxu no longer restrained her emotions and took the initiative to kiss him.

It was rich and intense.

The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, Liang Ruoxu was still asleep.

Lin Yi stared at her for a few minutes without any reaction.

Sure enough, not everyone was like Li Chuhan. No matter how late she had stayed up, she could still get up the next day to cook.

Coupled with Liang Ruoxu’s habit of sleeping in, it would be strange if she could get up at this time.

Lin Yi woke up and quietly got out of bed, preparing to make breakfast.

At ten in the morning, Lin Yi cooked some noodles and stir-fried two pickled vegetables. When everything was ready, the door opened and Liang Ruoxu walked out, rubbing her eyes in a daze.

“Aren’t you going to sleep more?”

“I’m not sleeping anymore.”

On a typical morning, if Lin Yi woke up making noise in the kitchen, disturbing her sleep, the first thing Liang Ruoxu would do upon waking would be to give him a hard time.

But after last night’s passion, her face was still blushing.

God created girls, but men created women.

Though it was just a slight difference in terminology, the complicated emotions were something only the involved parties could truly understand.

Some things are better felt than said.

“Go freshen up and then come eat. Otherwise, you’ll end up working in the afternoon.”

“Okay.”

She responded softly, her voice tinged with gentle shyness.

About ten minutes later, Liang Ruoxu had quickly freshened up and applied a light touch of makeup, looking much more composed and back to her usual self.

Growing up in a military compound, she had been surrounded by crude jokes from a young age.

Though she felt embarrassed, she adapted quicker than most.

“What are your plans for the near future?” Liang Ruoxu asked during breakfast.

Lin Yi understood what she was referring to.

The situation with Ji Qingyan remained unresolved, making it impossible for him to return to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

He needed to sort out some living arrangements for the time being.

“I’ll go back to work at the precinct,” Lin Yi said. “As for where to stay, there’s no need to worry. I’ll just come to your place at night.”

“Ha, find your own place. I’m not taking you in.”

“Listen to you. I promise I won’t do anything. Don’t be scared.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Liang Ruoxu said indignantly.

“When have I, Liang Ruoxu, ever been afraid?”

“Then wait here. We’ll continue tonight.”

Liang Ruoxu’s face turned red. She had fallen into his trap again.

“So be it. There’s no plowed land. There’s only tired cows. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Hmm… you’re right.”

Lin Yi felt that this kind of joke was completely useless in front of Liang Ruoxu.

She had grown up in this kind of environment. Although it was her first time experiencing it, she had heard too many dirty jokes and was fearless.

That’s why people often said that experienced women were the best. They understood everything.

A simple exchange of glances suffices without unnecessary words.

After breakfast, Lin Yi drove Liang Ruoxu to the compound and then headed to the precinct.

Upon arriving, he saw Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran hurrying out.

“It’s lunchtime. Where are you two off to?”

“We have a case. Just in time for your return, come with us,” Li Xianghui said.

Lin Yi, “???”

Am I Conan or something?

How is there a case the moment I get back?
