Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity-Chapter 597 - 315 Sober Descent_2

Chapter 597: Chapter 315: Sober Descent_2 Chapter 597 -315: Sober Descent_2 “Hmm.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Muchan, who took a long time to react, suddenly blushed.

“Stop it.”

When she woke up again, it was already noon, and Pei Muchan had no strength.

When she turned around, she saw that there was no one beside her pillow, and stood there stunned for a long time before struggling to get up.

She wanted to grab clothes from the wardrobe but winced in pain as she tried to put on her shoes and get up.

She estimated she would need to rest for a few days, perhaps even going to the studio would be difficult.

It was better that he was gone, she truly had no face to confront him.

Pei Muchan took forever to dress, not daring to put on pants.

...

Considering she was home alone, she simply slipped on a dress and threw on a light-colored sweater over it.

The odd ensemble somehow looked stylish on the beautiful Pei Muchan.

Pushing open the bedroom door, she was startled to see a gaze sweeping from the living room.

Xu Qingyan was lying on the sofa, watching TV with one leg crossed over the other, a beer in one hand and the remote control in the other, browsing through movies.

“Awake?” he got up, “Have something to eat, I kept it warm for you in the kitchen.”

Pei Muchan was stunned, wasn’t he gone?

When she came back to her senses, she suddenly became aware of her peculiar outfit and felt extremely embarrassed.

She instinctively wanted to retreat to her room, but just the thought of lifting her leg to walk caused her to give up the struggle.

After all, she had already lost a lot of face last night; it didn’t matter anymore.

That being said, while Xu Qingyan was in the kitchen, Pei Muchan slipped back to her room to change into a nicer dress and picked out a prettier sweater.

No one is indifferent to their appearance in front of someone they care about, especially after a new relationship has begun.

Reflecting on this, Pei Muchan fell silent.

She had specifically inquired with her sister-in-law, who had replied nonchalantly, that it only hurt for a while, and afterward, she just slept.

For instance, making a fuss in the middle of the night is pointless; it’s just foolishness.

A little trick can help you sleep earlier, and then you can go shopping the next morning.

How nice that would be.

Not a single thing her sister-in-law said came true; everything was the opposite.

At the dining table, Xu Qingyan curiously looked at her.

“Why aren’t you sitting down to eat?”

Pei Muchan looked down at him without a word and silently ate her breakfast.

Irritated by Xu Qingyan’s persistent questioning, she eventually bit her lip and retorted,

“My legs are sore!”

“Oh~~” Xu Qingyan fell silent.

The strange atmosphere lasted until the end of breakfast, and Xu Qingyan washed the dishes.

Pei Muchan returned to her room, and Xu Qingyan could only continue watching TV in the living room, feeling awkward.

It seemed to have become even more awkward.

He didn’t know why, but the atmosphere between him and Pei Muchan had suddenly become so strange.

Perhaps it was a guilty conscience, having put her legs on his shoulders.

It was his first time, and he lacked experience.

He thought to show off what he could do, but now it seemed he might have gone a bit overboard, uh…

maybe even more outrageous.

He was considering grabbing some more beer when he suddenly abandoned the idea.

If he had to go out tonight or drive somewhere, drinking beer would prevent that.

So, Xu Qingyan went to the bathroom and washed his face.

In the afternoon, he pulled up the curtains and lay directly on the sofa to watch a movie.

The living room was dim and lightless, Pei Muchan didn’t come out of her room for the whole afternoon.

Her room had an attached small bathroom that she rarely used.

She had turned into an ostrich again.

Whatever, it was just to pass the time anyway.

Xu Qingyan wasn’t in a hurry; he had little experience himself.

He figured it would be awkward to go in, and it would be better to give each other some space to adjust.

But his mind was in a mess; the taste of a mature woman was indeed good.

However, how to coax her became another issue.

She always had a cold expression on her face, and at times like these, she would hide away, not even giving a chance for probing.

Other than waiting, there seemed to be no better way.

Just wait…

anyway…

Knock knock knock.

The sound of knocking startled Pei Muchan so much she almost threw her phone out.

Her heart pounded as her phone vibrated with a new message.

“Tsk, Muchan, looks like you’re in for a treat in the future.”

Rustle rustle rustle, “When are you bringing him home to see us?”

“Your big brother and his friends are all old-fashioned, your dad too.

Don’t mind them, just give it a try; who knows, they might agree?”

Pei Muchan extinguished her phone screen, finding nowhere to put it in her skirt.

She simply tossed it onto the bed and tiptoed to the door, opening just a sliver.

He was indeed still standing outside, completely blocking the gap in the door.

“What’s up?” she asked.

“Oh, nothing, I saw you hadn’t made a sound in your room for a while.” Xu Qingyan made up an excuse on the spot, “I thought maybe you’d fainted, just checking.”

“I haven’t.” Pei Muchan bit her lip from behind the door.

Xu Qingyan was actually quite baffled.

I mean, we had already gotten through the tough part.

Why was she avoiding him now?

That’s not how they do it in TV dramas.

“Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?”

“Delivery.” she said.

“Oh, then let’s order from that restaurant we ate at last time.” Xu Qingyan wedged his foot into the door crack, preventing Pei Muchan from closing it, and kept chatting.

Suddenly, he asked,

“Why are you avoiding me?”

“I’m not…

not avoiding.” Pei Muchan felt a little guilty, “I just wanted to be alone for a while, um…

just like that, nothing else.”

“About last night…” Xu Qingyan coughed to clear his throat, organizing his words, “It was my first time too, do you think I…

uh, wasn’t good?”

At his words, Pei Muchan’s face flushed, and through the crack in the door, she said.

“No, it was good, just…”

“Just what?” he asked.

“I need to rest, really can’t anymore…” Pei Muchan’s cheeks reddened, “I’m afraid you’ll be…

like this morning again, and I don’t really understand, but…”

“I think…

it was pretty good, just if you could…

be a bit gentler…”

With her character, it was a feat to hesitantly get these embarrassing words out.

Stumbling over her words for a few minutes, she finally made herself clear.

She was carried away last night, oblivious, and now she was somewhat afraid after taking a moment to recover at noon.

Her back ached, her legs were sore, she felt weak all over.

She truly was afraid.

Being three years younger was indeed a nightmare.

“Come on, I’m not some lust-crazed ghost.

Why worry about that?” Xu Qingyan laughed at her reasoning, a bit bemused, “Open the door, we’ll go out for a walk in a bit.”

Pei Muchan thought that one shouldn’t trust men’s words, but she also knew that avoiding the issue wasn’t the solution.

She glanced outside and after a moment of hesitation, she asked.

“You won’t come tonight, and also…

these few days…”

“Alright.”

After the agreement, Pei Muchan finally breathed a sigh of relief and smoothly opened the door.

Then came a gasp, as Xu Qingyan scooped her up in a sideways embrace.

The two of them kissed against the wall, and after Pei Muchan struggled without breaking free, she simply went along with him.

She was acutely aware of the slim chances of their relationship, and the hurdles to being together were high.

From the beginning, she had been upfront with Xu Qingyan about her family background.

A family of civil servants, and she was the rebel who chose to become a singer.

If she ended up with someone from the entertainment industry as well, her father would surely hit the roof.

In their eyes, films, songs, TV dramas—none were respectable professions.

No matter what, they couldn’t compare to a man with an untarnished background…

oh, Xu Qingyan had a record for fighting; he wasn’t exactly untarnished, at least not in the eyes of her family’s ideal brilliant young men.

She didn’t care about the match; a rebel never shouts about their rebellion.

She knew exactly what she was doing, sober yet sinking all the same.

The phone on the bed occasionally lit up, one message after another.

After nightfall.

The two finished dinner and cuddled on the couch to watch movies.

They didn’t do anything but lazily while away the time, watching two films back-to-back.

It wasn’t until he had coaxed Pei Muchan to sleep that Xu Qingyan finally left.

They were young after all, and tasting the marrow of life was inevitable.

Staying there was only making it difficult; it was better to go home and sleep, planning to come by again tomorrow.

Pei Muchan also preferred her independent space, not the kind to stick together all the time.

Xu Qingyan was more or less the same, accustomed to solitude, preferring to sleep at home if not necessary.

In a certain sense, their habits were quite similar.

Upon waking, Xu Qingyan sent a message to Pei Muchan, then freshened up and drove to the studio.

He needed to get the film script out to connect next year’s work.

After a moment of thought, he typed several words into the computer.

Crazy Racing.
