Chapter 6 High School Girl Comes Online

Ruan Qing looked at the glass in front of him, biting his lip. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his slender figure appeared somewhat helpless.

In the end, he tremblingly reached out and took the glass. Naturally, one couldn't drink with a mask on.

Ruan Qing held the glass for a while without moving, seemingly hesitating but also seeming to make a firm decision.

Finally, he removed his mask, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth as if intending to drink it all in one gulp.

However, this was alcohol, and quite strong at that. Except for habitual drinkers, most people couldn't handle downing it in one go.

The moment the first sip entered his throat, the pungent bitterness made Ruan Qing choke. The remaining liquid didn't make it down his throat; instead, it ran down his fair neck and eventually soaked into his clothes.

Ruan Qing, overwhelmed by the alcohol's effects, was extremely uncomfortable. He coughed desperately, his fair face turning red as if painted with rose-colored blush.

Initially somewhat indifferent, Gu Zhaoxi was now taken aback as he looked at the misty-eyed and distressed youth before him, his eyes reddened from discomfort.

He could even recall the scene just now when the teenager had tilted his head back as if intending to finish the drink in one go.

The youth's lips, bitten red, were slightly parted, revealing pearly white teeth, with a hint of a pink tongue visible as it lightly touched the rim of the glass.

Although Gu Zhaoxi had not touched a drop of alcohol, in that moment, he seemed to smell the strong fragrance of liquor.

Even though it was a waste of good wine, Gu Zhaoxi didn't feel his usual anger. Instead, he subconsciously looked at the collar of the teenager's shirt.

The alcohol had completely soaked the youth's collar, and although it wasn't cold in the early autumn weather and the youth's clothing wasn't thick, the wet fabric clung to his skin, accentuating his fair complexion.

This scene didn't evoke sympathy for the youth but instead stirred up some dark thoughts in people's minds, making them want to tear open the youth's clothes to see what lay beneath and even inciting more obscene intentions.

The teenager probably had never drunk alcohol before and had a low tolerance for it; he seemed a bit intoxicated.

Gu Zhaoxi looked at the somewhat misty-eyed youth before him and, inexplicably, reached out his hand.

"What are you doing?" A voice full of coldness and hostility sounded behind Gu Zhaoxi, and the hand he had reached out was gripped by someone.

Gu Zhaoxi turned around to see the owner of the hand, his tone unchanged. "Let go."

Jiang Sinián, with narrowed eyes, stared at the man who seemed like a beast in human clothing.

The tall man who had guided them here hurried over, bowing repeatedly in apology, his voice tinged with fear. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I couldn't stop him."

However, at this moment, nobody paid attention to the tall man's apology.

Although in the noisy bar, the atmosphere in this corner seemed to freeze, with two equally strong men confronting each other.

"Um, I feel really uncomfortable. I-I want to go to the bathroom," a soft voice drew the attention of the two men.

Ruan Qing's voice didn't sound as nervous and uneasy as usual; it was more like he was coquettishly pleading, carrying a hint of intimacy.

Clearly, he was drunk.

As he got up from his seat, he staggered for a moment, nearly stumbling. Both men instinctively reached out to help, but their hands touched each other. Jiang Sinián looked at the other man with a dark expression.

Gu Zhaoxi, still wearing his usual gentle and refined demeanor, seemed unfazed by this minor incident.

Withdrawing his hand, Gu Zhaoxi glanced sideways at the tall man beside him.

Understanding Gu Zhaoxi's intention, the tall man respectfully addressed Ruan Qing, "Mr. Ye, please come with me."

Ruan Qing's eyes were hazy, but he didn't seem to have completely lost consciousness. He obediently followed the tall man, though his steps were unsteady.

Clearly, he was quite drunk.

Seeing this, Jiang Sinián subconsciously wanted to follow.

Gu Zhaoxi chuckled lightly, waving his hand slightly. Instantly, a group of men dressed in black suits appeared, blocking Jiang Sinián's way.

Gu Zhaoxi lit the cigarette in his ear and took a gentle puff. The smoke blurred his features as he casually spoke, "Mr. Jiang, please don't break the rules of elegance. Otherwise, I might get angry."

...

Ruan Qing followed the tall man into the restroom, swaying unsteadily. Despite the bar's chaos, the restroom area seemed relatively quiet.

After cleaning the stains of alcohol from his clothes and his face at the sink, Ruan Qing felt like even standing was a bit strenuous due to the alcohol's effects. He could only barely steady himself by holding onto the sink.

After finishing cleaning up, he looked at the tall man shyly and whispered, "Um, can you wait for me for a moment? I want to go to the restroom."

With his face flushed red from the alcohol, even his ears had turned crimson, which made the tall man subconsciously stare at him in surprise.

Seeing that the man didn't respond, Ruan Qing asked again, somewhat plaintively, "Is it not allowed?"

The tall man finally came to his senses, his face flushed, and he stammered, "Y-yes, of course. I'll accompany you."

Although the man's voice was originally rough and menacing, when he said these words, his tone softened, as if afraid of scaring the youth.

Ruan Qing lowered his head, embarrassed, and said, "No need, I can manage on my own."

"In that case, I'll wait outside. I'll be right at the door. If you need anything, just call me." The tall man didn't insist. This was their territory, and even if the youth wasn't drunk, he didn't seem capable of anything in his current weak and pitiful state.

After obediently nodding, Ruan Qing entered the restroom.

There were few people inside, so Ruan Qing opened the door to the innermost stall and sat down on the toilet.

His expression instantly changed from the previous meekness to something completely different. He expressionlessly took out a hair tie, gathered his hair that was covering his eyes, and tied it up.

It was that cute style of a small ponytail.

With his beautiful features, tying his hair up like this made it difficult to discern his gender.

After securing his hair, Ruan Qing took off his jacket and put it on inside out. The originally dark-colored clothes now appeared lighter and were indistinguishable as being worn inside out in the dim lighting.

He then directly took off his pants and put them in his backpack, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs.

The coat was not short, reaching down to his calves, so even without pants, it didn't look odd. It appeared as if he was wearing a knee-length dress.

After completing all of this, Ruan Qing fiercely bit his lip. His lips were originally pale, but with this bite, a tinge of blood seeped out, adding some color to his complexion.

He licked away the bloodstains and then flashed a sunny smile the next moment.

There was not a trace of his previous demeanor. He now looked like a pure and beautiful high school girl.

Even someone who knew him well would probably have a hard time recognizing him if they stood in front of him.

The comments section exploded with question marks.

["Did I just drink some water? Why did the person change? What happened? What about my big wife? Gone???"]

["I just blinked, and I'm confused too."]

["Although I watched the whole thing, I'm also puzzled..."]
