Endless Fall Chapter 9

Sending Her Home

Lin Jiao said, holding her bag, “I’m very heavy too.”

This was the first time Pei Zhi had seen her drunk.

And he found her especially cute when she was drunk.

He rubbed the top of her head and put his suit jacket on her. “I can carry you no matter how heavy you are.”

Lin Jiao got on his back slowly and unsteadily.

She hugged his neck, afraid that she would fall. “Don’t drive too fast.”

Pei Zhi could feel her hot breath on the back of his neck. It was like an electric current that ran through his body, making him numb.

He grabbed her ankle to keep her from falling off and tried his best to ignore the softness that he felt on his back.

“Is this speed alright?”

“Yeah.”

Lin Jiao looked down. “How do you have to drive?” She asked in a daze.

“We’ll be there soon.”

Pei Zhi strode down the stairs.

Qu Shao, who was waiting in the car, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped when he saw his boss carrying a woman.

He quickly got out of the car and went to the back. When he opened the car door for Pei Zhi, he said with concern, “Boss, this is not good.”

“What’s not good?”

“Women who hang out in bars are complicated. If you really have that need, it’s better to find a normal woman.”

Pei Zhi was speechless.

He glared at Qu Shao. “Shut up.” Then, he put Lin Jiao down.

“Are you still driving?”

“Yes, get in the car first.”

“But my legs are numb.” Lin Jiao blew away the strands of hair covering her face, revealing her charming face.

As soon as he saw her face, Qu Shao was stunned.

He looked at the two of them and stammered, “Miss Lin, what a coincidence.”

Lin Jiao glanced at him and had a hard time identifying him as she was still drunk.

“Ignore him.” Afraid that she would be drenched in the rain, Pei Zhi helped her into the car.

After she got into the car, he walked to the car behind and knocked on the window twice. “Yuzhou, did you call for a designated driver?”

“No.” Chu Yuzhou shoved Pei Yilan into the back seat and said, “But don’t worry, my assistant will come and drive later.”

“Then be careful. Call me if you need anything.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Before Pei Zhi could shake off the raindrops on his shoulder, the person beside him leaned over.

On impulse, he put his arm around her waist.

However, that was as far as he would go. Crossing the line while she was not fully awake was not something he would do.

“Boss, where are we going?”

“Let’s send her home first.”

“But do you know where she lives?”

Pei Zhi was put on the spot. He really did not know.

He lowered his head to look at Lin Jiao and asked, “Lin Jiao, where do you live?”

Lin Jiao heard him ask where she lived in a daze and replied weakly, “Ming Xin.”

“Ming what?”

“Ming Xin Mansion.”

Qu Shao immediately added, “Boss, Ming Xin Mansion is just two streets away from where you live.”

Pei Zhi was delighted. “Alright, get going.” He knew very well why Lin Jiao moved.

It was precisely because of this that he exuded glows.

Qu Shao was also happy for him.

After all, it meant that his boss now would have a chance.

However, when he arrived outside Ming Xin Mansion, he encountered another problem. “Boss, which unit does she live in?”

Pei Zhi did not want to wake Lin Jiao up.

He swiped open her phone and found the detailed address on the food-delivering app. “Unit 9.”

Qu Shao gave him a thumbs up and drove on.

After stopping, he turned around and asked, “Boss, do you want me to wait for you?”

“No need.” With that, Pei Zhi carried Lin Jiao into the building.

The corridor lights were bright, wrapping around the two overlapping figures.

Pei Zhi pushed the door open and entered.

He found Lin Jiao’s bedroom and gently placed her on the bed.

“Jiaojiao.” He brushed her hair aside, his voice gentle and deep.

“I feel terrible…”

“What happened?”

“I can’t breathe.” Lin Jiao turned over uncomfortably, one hand behind her back, as if she was trying to touch something.

Pei Zhi leaned over and looked at her back. She did not see anything and was a little anxious.

Afraid that she might have an allergy, he quickly called Qu Shao.

“Boss.” Qu Shao, who had been imagining what could happen to his boss and Lin Jiao, said in an especially cheeky way, “I am next to a convenience store. What do you need?”

Pei Zhi did not want to waste his breath talking to him. “Drive the car back.”

“Are you leaving so soon?”

“She’s not feeling well.”

“What’s wrong?” Qu Shao did not dare to be negligent. He turned the steering wheel and asked, “Do you want me to send her to the hospital?”

Pei Zhi said, “Yes, she…” A white bra flew over and interrupted him.

He subconsciously caught it and looked at it. His earlobes instantly turned red when he felt the remaining body temperature on it.

“Boss? What did you just say?” Qu Shao did not hear anything else and thought that the signal was not good.

“No, nothing.”

“Is Miss Lin allergic to alcohol?”

Pei Zhi looked away with difficulty. “No.” He glanced at Lin Jiao from the corner of his eye. “She’s fine. You don’t have to come.”

Qu Shao was puzzled. Was his boss playing a prank on him?

“Boss, are you sure?”

“Positive.”

With that, Pei Zhi hung up.

He put the bra aside and covered it with a blanket. “Jiaojiao, are you feeling better now?”

Lin Jiao responded softly and closed her eyes in satisfaction without noticing that Pei Zhi’s face was as red as an apple.

She stopped struggling in discomfort, which put Pei Zhi at ease.

However…

He had no clue how she managed to take off her bra without taking off her dress…
