As she was pulled along, looking at her unfocused eyes, a sudden inspiration struck him. He opened his phone to record a video, pointing it at Pei Kexin.
Pei Kexin was oblivious, tilting her head back, her hair disheveled as she sat there, crying messily and babbling.
"Wuwuwu, I'm so thirsty..."
Zhan Jingchen recorded her for a full three minutes before stopping.
He opened the food delivery app. There was no ice cream, but fortunately, milk tea was available everywhere in the country, chilled, room temperature, all sorts.
He ordered her a strawberry boba milk tea and then a portion of stewed chicken with mushrooms, sliced meat and mushrooms.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Hurry up and put on your clothes. Otherwise, the delivery person will laugh at you when they see you."
At this moment, Pei Kexin was lying quietly on the floor, lost in thought.
When Zhan Jingchen tried to pull her up, she flinched as if shocked, preventing him from touching her.
"Don't touch me! Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you in my room?"
"I don't even know you, why would you touch me? Get away!"
Her behavior was that of someone completely out of their mind.
Zhan Jingchen was speechless for the third time.
"Okay, okay, I won't touch you."
"But you don't have any clothes on. Please put them on first, alright? Have some self-respect."
Pei Kexin looked down at herself and indeed, she was not wearing any clothes.
Zhan Jingchen expected her to be shocked, to scream, and then jump up to cover herself.
Instead, after looking, she calmly glanced at Zhan Jingchen.
"You don't have clothes on either! Why should I wear them when you aren't?"
Zhan Jingchen was utterly exasperated. "Who said I'm not wearing clothes? I... Alright, alright, I'll put them on."
He went to the bathroom and changed into a bathrobe, wrapping himself up completely.
"Happy now? I've put on clothes. You should be more civilized too."
Pei Kexin finally accepted the bathrobe willingly.
Her limbs were weak, and she couldn't even tie the bathrobe belt properly.
Seeing her sitting there weakly fumbling with the tie, looking like an idiot, Zhan Jingchen had to help her again.
He squatted in front of her, and as he was helping her, Pei Kexin cupped his face and nuzzled him.
"You're truly my good friend, I'm so grateful to have you, Gu Wei."
"..."
Zhan Jingchen carried her to the sofa. Pei Kexin clung to his neck, preventing him from leaving.
Not only did she not let him go, but she also locked his legs with hers and rubbed her forehead against his chin.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm drunk, Gu Wei, you can't abandon me. You're my only good sister, you have to stay and keep me company."
It seemed women possessed a natural faint body scent, which, combined with the strong aroma of white wine and her wildly flailing limbs...
At this moment, Pei Kexin could only be described by one word in Zhan Jingchen's eyes: self-destructive.
He was a healthy adult male, they had just crossed a boundary, and she was so beautiful. This was practically forcing him...
Just as he was about to lose control, Zhan Jingchen thought wickedly, since it wasn't the first time, why not...
The doorbell rang at the perfect moment.
Zhan Jingchen took a deep breath and held her hands down. "The food is here. Stop. Do you still want to eat?"
Upon hearing that food had arrived, Pei Kexin quickly let him go.
Zhan Jingchen straightened his bathrobe and went to open the door. Outside was a man in a white coat.
It turned out to be a doctor from the hotel's recreation department delivering medicine.
Zhan Jingchen asked the doctor at the door about the specific way to take the hangover medicine, listened to some precautions, and then went back to coax Pei Kexin.
"You drank too much, weren't you feeling unwell? Here, take this, and you'll feel better immediately."
Pei Kexin acted like a child, covering her mouth and looking at him with extreme vigilance.
"You actually want me to take medicine? Are you planning something against me?"
"Don't think I'm easy to bully! I'm not stupid! I won't take it, get away!"
This woman was probably suppressing herself too much usually, which was why she was acting so crazy when drunk.
Zhan Jingchen was not good at dealing with women and was truly at a loss for what to do with her.
"Alright, alright, I won't touch you. Eat it if you want, don't if you don't. You just sit here and do whatever you want, okay?"
He took the medicine into the room, found a power bank, crushed the medicine into powder with force, and then observed the outside through the gap in the door.
Pei Kexin, her mind unclear, was now standing in the middle of the living room wearing a bathrobe.
Sometimes she spun around dancing, muttering to herself, and sometimes she wriggled forward on the floor like a fish...
In short, she was a far cry from her usual cool and elegant demeanor, which was astonishing.
Watching her go mad like this for about half an hour, the food delivery arrived.
Zhan Jingchen brought the food in and handed it to Pei Kexin. While she was eating, he secretly slipped into the room to pour the hangover medicine into the milk tea.
Unexpectedly, Pei Kexin opened the pile of food, looked at it, and didn't eat anything.
When Zhan Jingchen came out of the room shaking the milk tea, her first question was:
"Where are the zongzi? I want to eat meat zongzi, where are the zongzi?"
"I want to eat meat zongzi! Gu Wei, why won't you let me eat them? Are you deliberately trying to make me angry? Huh?"
Zhan Jingchen found it truly bizarre. She had seemed mentally unwell just moments ago, so how did she suddenly become clear-headed?
Late at night, I think you're the one deliberately trying to make me angry!
Zhan Jingchen felt he had to contribute all his patience and gentlemanly demeanor to her.
"It's not that I won't let you eat them, there are no meat zongzi here. Didn't you want to eat mushrooms? I ordered mushrooms for you. Eat these first, and we'll have meat zongzi tomorrow, okay?"
Pei Sansui was unhappy, her mouth turned down, and she started crying again.
"I don't want mushrooms! I want zongzi! Did you steal them? Gu Wei, you owe me zongzi! Ah, my big, fragrant meat zongzi!"
Zhan Jingchen, with furrowed brows, handed her the milk tea.
"Here, here, here, your ice cream, strawberry flavored. Drink this first, and I'll buy you meat zongzi right away."
Ice cream?
Pei Kexin held back her tears, took the drink, and gulped it down.
Zhan Jingchen pretended to place an order next to her and then observed her.
"Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap? Your zongzi will be here when you wake up."
Pei Kexin finished the milk tea in a few gulps and said with conviction.
"I'm not sleepy, I can't sleep, I haven't showered yet. Look, I'm so dirty, so many bacteria are biting me."
"..."
Zhan Jingchen was speechless for the one thousand eight hundredth time.
He took a deep breath again, telling himself to stay calm, she wasn't doing it on purpose!
"Okay, if you're dirty, go wash. The zongzi are on their way, and they might arrive by the time you finish your bath. Be good."
Pei Kexin finally listened to a couple of sensible words, stood up unsteadily, and walked towards the bathroom.
But her vision was blurry, and the floor seemed to be swaying.
"But I don't have any strength. Gu Wei, why don't you help me?"
"Ms. Pei, although we're... but it's not very appropriate for you to be so direct, is it?"
Pei Kexin's gaze fell on the tissue box on the table. She walked over unsteadily, pulled out several tissues, and handed them to Zhan Jingchen.
"Here, I'll give you money, is that okay? Here, it's all for you!"
"..."
He really wanted to knock her out with a single slap and finally have some peace.
