669: 658 669: 658 After more than half an hour of arduous struggle, Song Yun finally managed to pull up his belt.
Although he had done it countless times in his life, this time felt the hardest and most powerless.
Song Yun’s face was pale, his body trembling slightly, and his hands were trembling too, as if he wasn’t wearing his own pants but was helping a woman put on pants.
The trembling of his hands increased as he pulled the pants up.
Finally, Song Yun successfully got them up to his waist, and in that moment, he felt as if he was back on a foreign mission, having just accomplished a task!
He had gotten his wish and had no regrets in this life!
After getting dressed, Song Yun leaned on the wall to leave the restroom, then slowly made his way back to his room.
Just as he was about to enter his room, he saw Song Yuxue and Li Yueyue coming upstairs.
“Bro, what’s wrong with you!
What did you eat tonight?
Did you get a stomachache?” Song Yuxue asked.
“This…” Song Yun was at a loss for words for a moment.
“It must be karma for all the bad things you’ve done!” Li Yueyue said on the side.
“You’re the one who’s done bad things!” Song Yun wanted to retort, but after saying that, he felt out of breath.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at them and said, “I can’t be bothered with you right now.
We’ll talk tomorrow.”
With that, Song Yun went straight into his room.
“Bro, why do you look so listless?” Song Yuxue seemed genuinely concerned and followed Song Yun into his room, only to see Qingluan sitting on the bed.
She covered her mouth in surprise and said, “Could it be that you two??”
“What about us two?” Song Yun looked at her irritably.
“Bro, everything should be done in moderation.
Although Sister Qingluan is so attractive that even I feel moved, some things shouldn’t be done too frequently, or else you’ll end up with backache and weak legs, and maybe even some lasting problems you’ll never recover from!” Song Yuxue said earnestly.
“Oh?
Little sister, you’ve grown bold, even daring to tease Sister Qingluan?” Song Yun said in surprise, “My relationship with Qingluan is very clear and straightforward!”
“Yuxue, many people tend to project their own thoughts onto others!” Qingluan said with a smile to Song Yuxue, despite the teasing.
“Ah, Sister Qingluan, I was just joking!” Upon seeing that Qingluan and Song Yun were about to team up and tease her, Song Yuxue quickly tried to ingratiate herself with Qingluan and said, “I’m going to sleep now!” After saying this, she turned to leave Song Yun’s room, bumping into Li Yueyue at the door, who was about to join in the fun, and pulled her along as well.
As she left, she kindly closed the door behind her, and Song Yun even saw the encouraging look in Song Yuxue’s eyes.
“Is she encouraging something to happen between me and Qingluan?” Song Yun wondered silently.
“Does it work?
Are you feeling alright?” Qingluan asked, seeing Song Yun looking weak and listless.
“Yes, it works, too well actually; I’ve never seen such an effective potion in my life!” Song Yun, lying on the bed and gasping, said, “I almost fainted!”
“Hehe, Sister Que said you need to drink a drop every morning, noon, and night!” Qingluan said.
Upon hearing this, Song Yun almost passed out.
“Do you mean I have to go through this three times a day?” Song Yun struggled to sit up and stared directly at Qingluan.
“Three drops a day!
This is the first time, so the reaction might be more severe.
Maybe it won’t be like this the next time!” Qingluan explained, “Sister Que told me that this potion is much more precious than the last one you had!”
“Precious it is, but it shouldn’t cause diarrhea every day!
If it’s like this three times a day, what else can I do?
How can I mix with others or make money?
I might as well stay home and be slaughtered!
I feel that even a little girl could easily overpower me now.”
“Based on the dosage in this bottle, about tomorrow you should finish it.
Just stay at home for one day, and after that, you should be fine,” Qingluan said.
“But I have so much to do!” Song Yun sighed looking at Qingluan, “All the headquarters’ stuff and various other things need my attention.
I even reached several agreements with White Tiger just a while ago; I need people to work on them.
If I’m listless, how can I handle anything?”
“Let Wang Hu and Zhao Yan handle it.
You should take this opportunity to rest a bit,” Qingluan said.
“Ah, how boring,” Song Yun complained, “Staying home alone will drive me crazy.”
“Do you want me to keep you company?” Qingluan looked at Song Yun with clear eyes, as if seeing right through him.
Song Yun was startled, thinking how perceptive Qingluan was to have instantly seen through his little schemes.
Not bothering to hide it anymore, he openly said, “You said it, you have to keep me company, and protect me.
You know I have many enemies, and who knows, someone might come to assassinate me or something.
You need to stick close, and protect me twenty-four hours a day!”
“Alright!” Qingluan smiled at Song Yun, “Since I’m free and Sister Que just taught me painting, I’ll spend the day painting you.”
“Are you…
going to paint a portrait of me?” Song Yun asked eagerly.
“Yes, that’s right,” Qingluan nodded.
“Ah, how embarrassing, I’m not some great person,” Song Yun said shyly, “though I am quite handsome.
Having you paint my portrait makes it seem like I’m too proud, too arrogant.”
“Then I won’t paint it,” Qingluan said.
“Ah, I was just being modest just now.
I am somewhat famous now, after all.
Having someone paint my portrait isn’t too unreasonable.
Maybe someday I’ll even get a wax statue of myself, so let’s start with the painting to get used to the idea,” Song Yun said seriously, “I can even offer you some benefits!”
“What benefits?”
“If you want to paint something more…
‘artistic’, I can sacrifice a bit for the sake of art!” Song Yun said coyly.
“I’m going to rest,” Qingluan stood up and walked towards the door, “I’ll come to see you take your medicine tomorrow morning.”
“Okay then,” Song Yun nodded.
As Qingluan opened the door to leave, he suddenly said, “Qingluan, you said you’d keep me company.
How about we start tonight?”
Even Qingluan, normally so unruffled, shot him a sharp look at that, clenching her fingers with a cracking sound that made Song Yun’s heart race.
“Even when she’s angry, she’s still so beautiful!” Song Yun exclaimed.
