Chapter 519: – A round of applause for her smarts
When Xia Tian woke up, he felt like he had a really bad headache. He held his head and tried to prop himself up with one hand, only to suddenly realize that his palm was pressing down on something soft.
He took out the phone in his pocket, which no one had touched, and used the screen’s light to see beside him. He saw that Lin Jin was currently lying on her back, sleeping soundly with her mouth slightly open.
“Lin Jin, why are you here?” He was stunned for a moment, then his face immediately turned pale.
Could it be that after getting drunk last night, he had actually forced himself on Lin Jin?
Even though they were already a couple, Lin Jin had warned him before they started dating that she didn’t want to do that kind of thing. If he really did have sex with her, then that night might be the last time he sleeps together with Lin Jin.
But then he noticed that Lin Jin was still fully clothed and the top half of his own clothes were taken off. The pants on his lower body were still on.
After a bit, Xia Tian began gradually remembering what happened last night.
He really had gotten drunk last night, almost to the point of blacking out. But at that time, he still had some remaining consciousness and roughly knew what he had done, he also knew that he had vomited all over Lin Jin. It was just that he ended up saying whatever was on his mind without any filter last night.
With his headache, he sat up and was about to get out of bed to get a glass of water when he saw that Lin Jin, disturbed by him, had woken up and was mumbling something.
“You’re awake?” Lin Jin opened her eyes and looked at Xia Tian.
When Lin Jin saw Xia Tian fall asleep last night, she originally planned to leave right away. But because she was worried that Xia Tian wouldn’t be able to take care of himself if he woke up in the middle of the night and was still drunk. So she decided to stay overnight.
After all, Xia Tian was so drunk that he fell asleep, so he probably couldn’t do anything to her anyway.“Are you still dizzy?” Lin Jin saw Xia Tian seemed to be trying to get up and quickly reached out to hold his shoulder. “Don’t move, I’ll help. Don’t fall when walking.”
“No need, I’m just a bit drunk. Besides, I need to go to the bathroom.” Xia Tian wanted to maintain his usual indifferent iceberg expression, but his still fuzzy brain left him looking as if he had lost his will to live.
“Oh, then you go ahead. I already boiled some water, you can just drink it.”
Xia Tian nodded and stood up with his hands against the wall. He took a step forward, then wobbled and stumbled three steps backwards.
Lin Jin was really scared when she saw it, afraid that Xia Tian would accidentally fall down at any moment.
He tried hard to reach the bathroom on his own, but after swaying a few times, he finally ended up sitting right back down on the bed, helplessly casting Lin Jin a pleading look.
Although his head wasn’t that dizzy anymore, his body was still under the influence of alcohol and was hard to control. Lin Jin hurriedly helped him stand up and he finally managed to make it to the bathroom.
“My head hurts so bad. I guess I won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Xia Tian frowned, holding onto the bathroom door frame as he went in.
Lin Jin stood outside the door, rubbing her arms with her hands. She just felt that the late night was already unbearable.
Clearly the school semester had just started and it was still summer, but the temperature at night was already so chilly.
Wearing only a thin short sleeved shirt, she waited outside for quite a while before Xia Tian finally opened the door and staggered out, having nearly fallen asleep inside.
Then again, Lin Jin supported Xia Tian to drink some water, change clothes, and even take a shower. After all that, she lifelessly crawled back to the warm bed.
However, after all that, Xia Tian, who had originally been feeling drowsy and wanted to sleep, suddenly wasn’t sleepy at all anymore. Meanwhile, Lin Jin still tried desperately to continue sleeping because she had to get up at eight o’clock.
It was two in the morning when Xia Tian woke up, but now it was already three. Lin Jin had been busy taking care of him until twelve before going to sleep, so if she didn’t rest now, she felt she would definitely be distracted and blank out during class.
However, Xia Tian wasn’t sleepy. Although he usually started work at nine, he had way more energy than Lin Jin. He held onto Lin Jin on the bed, occasionally moving his hands and feet, making it impossible for Lin Jin to get any sleep.
But in the end, Xia Tian still fell asleep under the influence of alcohol at around four in the morning.
When Lin Jin woke up again, it was already half past eight in the morning. Her expression darkened as she glanced at Xia Tian, who had groped her all night, pried his hands off, and rushed to brush her teeth and wash her face.
“What time is it?” After a night, Xia Tian’s drunkenness had worn off and he finally returned to his usual iceberg look.
Although Lin Jin usually hated Xia Tian’s iceberg face, after experiencing him drunk, she now felt that his iceberg version was really quite good.
“It’s 8:30, I’m already late!” Lin Jin grumbled as she washed her face. After hurriedly brushing her teeth, she ran to the side of the bed and bent down to put her shoes on.
“You’re already late anyway, why rush?” Xia Tian usually took the bus to work, and it would usually take him about half an hour. So he was actually already late too, but he could always take a taxi so he wasn’t worried at all.
“I haven’t been late for almost a year, okay?” Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him and was about to head out when she suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.
Back then, not long after the black cat had gotten into her phone, because Lin Jin smoked, skipped classes, and did whatever she wanted, basically not acting like a goddess at all, the black cat had made a list of prohibitions to fix her rough behavior.
Uh… If those prohibitions still applied, wouldn’t she be punished?
Who knew what kind of weird punishment that perverted black cat would give her. What if she was punished to go into heat or something, would that be asking for her life?
So that was to say! She couldn’t be late! Not in this lifetime!
Therefore, she took out her phone and called the counselor to ask for leave.
Since she asked for leave, it wouldn’t count as being late from the prohibition! Right! No matter how well behaved a goddess might be, there would alway come a day when she felt unwell and needed to ask for leave, right!
Lin Jin’s counselor was very easy to talk to. She just needed to use the excuse of having a stomachache and was able to ask for leave. All she needed to do was go over in the afternoon to get a leave slip and then later explain to the teacher so there wouldn’t be an absent record. Then, Lin Jin wouldn’t need to be punished by the black cat!
It never said she couldn’t ask for leave!
Having requested leave, Lin Jin laid right back down on the bed.
“Not going anymore. I asked for leave.” Lin Jin yawned, pulled the quilt over her head, and said to Xia Tian, “Hurry up and go to work. Your pay will be deducted if you take a day off.”
“Mhm.” Xia Tian finally got up from the bed and slowly went to wash up.
Ha! Using leave to dodge the punishment, she was really so f*cking smart!
Lin Jin gave herself a silent round of applause in her heart for her smartness.
