This girl usually acts all haughty, but in truth, it’s just a facade to hide her weakness, to put on the airs of an elder sister in front of Qian Bao.
After all, Qian Ziwei and Qian Bao had already lost their relatives. If she weren’t strong, how could she protect her little brother?
Now, in front of the man she liked, Qian Ziwei completely let go of her mask, which Li Changlin could quite understand.
"Brother Changlin, I understand." Qian Ziwei hugged Li Changlin tightly, nearly merging her whole body with his. She said softly, "Don’t worry, Brother Changlin. This time, when we go to the provincial city, I’ll be good and listen to you, your most obedient girlfriend."
"Mhm, thank you, Ziwei," Li Changlin was deeply moved and hugged Qian Ziwei back, the two of them embracing tightly, inseparable.
"Brother Changlin, you, you’re up again." After a while, Qian Ziwei suddenly exclaimed, shyly.
Since Qian Ziwei had been leaning on Li Changlin the whole time, it was natural for him to react.
But now that his secret had been discovered by Qian Ziwei, Li Changlin felt quite embarrassed!
He quickly shifted his body, trying to move away.
"Don’t move, Brother Changlin." But who knew, Qian Ziwei sensed it immediately. She reached out and touched towards the Vajra, while shyly saying, "Let Ziwei help you, Brother Changlin."
"No, don’t," Li Changlin promptly took hold of Qian Ziwei’s delicate hand, stopping her from sliding any further, "Ziwei, let’s sleep. I don’t want to do anything right now, just hold you quietly."
"But, won’t you be uncomfortable?" Qian Ziwei lifted her head, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
"No, I won’t be," Li Changlin dared not meet her gaze, too tempting. He feared he wouldn’t be able to resist if he did, so he quickly took a couple of deep breaths.
"Then, okay," Qian Ziwei said, a touch of disappointment in her voice, but she didn’t continue, leaning gently on Li Changlin’s shoulder and slowly closing her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Changlin finally sighed in relief and lay down flat, closing his eyes to rest.
But with a beauty by his side, how could Li Changlin fall asleep? It was quite the sad predicament.
No way around it, he decided to count sheep!
One sheep, two sheep, three, four, five, six sheep...
After a night had passed, Li Changlin was woken by the alarm on his phone, only to find Qian Ziwei clinging to him like an octopus, most of her body pressing down on him.
As for himself, the situation was even more dire with a morning erection, a true pillar to the sky, making for an extremely embarrassing scene!
Li Changlin gently cradled Qian Ziwei, placed her on the bed, then sat up to get dressed.
"Brother Changlin, what time is it?" However, Li Changlin’s movements still woke Qian Ziwei. She opened her drowsy eyes and snuggled closer to him.
"Mhm, it’s seven o’clock. I’m going out to buy breakfast; you sleep a bit more." They had to set off for the provincial city, and Li Changlin had already set the alarm because he had agreed to leave at seven thirty with Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin, so he couldn’t be late.
"We’re going to the provincial city today!" Upon hearing Li Changlin’s words, Qian Ziwei quickly became alert and immediately lost any desire to sleep.
"It’s alright, we won’t leave until seven thirty." Li Changlin smiled and kissed Qian Ziwei’s forehead, who knew that it would prompt her to pout her lips and return the kiss.
The two immediately embraced each other tightly, and it was only after a deep kiss that Li Changlin realized it was already 7:10 AM.
Alright, no more dawdling, so Li Changlin didn’t try to persuade Qian Ziwei anymore, and both of them got up from bed together.
After washing up, Li Changlin went downstairs to buy some breakfast outside the community, and Qian Ziwei was already sitting obediently on the sofa waiting.
"Come on, eat quickly, Chen Zhengxin and the others are about to arrive." Li Changlin placed the purchased items on the coffee table, which included steamed twisted rolls, deep-fried dough sticks, along with eight-treasure porridge and tofu pudding.
They finished eating soon enough, and at that time, Chen Zhengxin’s call came through, saying that he and Bai Zicong had already arrived outside the community, just waiting for Li Changlin to come down.
"Let’s go." Not needing to bring anything, Li Changlin and Qian Ziwei cleared up the trash from the coffee table and then left the apartment together.
Once outside the community, Qian Ziwei threw the trash into the garbage can and then made a phone call to Qian Bao to remind him of something.
After that, the two walked towards the nearby car where Chen Zhengxin and Bai Zicong had already gotten out, waiting for them.
Upon seeing Li Changlin approach, both Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin had a flatteringly pleasant smile on their faces.
Since they knew the true capabilities of Li Changlin, Chen Zhengxin even didn’t dare to address Li Changlin by his name anymore.
Li Changlin smiled and greeted the two men. He wasn’t one to hold grudges, and because of Bai Ziyu’s sake, he also didn’t show any animosity towards Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin.
As for Chen Zhengxin’s issue, actually, Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin had made amends; after all, Zhong Jianping’s job was definitely facilitated by their connection, which Li Changlin appreciated.
After all, the reason Chen Zhengxin fired Zhong Jianping that day was also because of Li Changlin.
However, on the flip side, Zhong Jianping had turned misfortune into a blessing because Ye Zhiwen had sent a message saying that Zhong Jianping’s salary was now more than five thousand a month.
Li Changlin introduced Qian Ziwei to the two men, and then they all got into the car.
This time, Chen Zhengxin didn’t drive, Bai Zicong’s car was an extended version, and everyone could sit inside without feeling cramped.
The driver was Bai Zicong’s bodyguard, Huo Zhibiao, and Bai Zicong introduced him to the three of them.
Then, the car started and quickly left the community.
"Mr. Li, you don’t need to worry about the registration. I’ve already asked a friend in the provincial city to take care of it," Bai Zicong, a man who knew how to handle things, said. Since Jincheng was nearly four hundred kilometers away from the provincial city, they would probably arrive around eleven o’clock. If Li Changlin went to register at that time, it certainly wouldn’t be possible to finish the preliminary round that day, so Bai Zicong had already made arrangements in advance.
"Thank you." Li Changlin hadn’t thought of this and, hearing that Bai Zicong had already entrusted a friend with arrangements, he sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"Mr. Li, you’re too polite, I should be thanking you for helping me write songs!" Bai Zicong was just looking for a pretext, and as soon as Li Changlin spoke up, he immediately shifted the topic to songwriting.
When Chen Zhengxin heard this, he became anxious right away and kept giving Bai Zicong meaningful glances. After all, songwriting involved him as well, and Bai Zicong only mentioned himself—what was he implying!
