It seems you're all better now

As the saying goes,

When people drink, they get drunk.

And when they drink too much, they get even drunker.

Not only that,

Alcohol also stimulates the nerves,

Making people bold enough to seek thrills and indulge in wild revelry.

Lin An'an is an ordinary person.

No one is a saint.

As long as you're human, you have basic needs.

Those who haven't found a partner

Either have unconventional preferences,

Lack the means,

Or simply haven't met the one they envision.

The third scenario is the most common.

Most people fall into this category.

Of course, ideals are plump,

But reality is rather cruel.

In most cases,

You have to settle for second best.

But here,

Lin An'an has finally met someone who checks every box in her mind.

There's no way she’s letting go.

Even if it means swallowing her pride and dignity.

Because Xu Mo is just too perfect.

Too outstanding.

So outstanding, in fact, that it's almost a problem now.

Hmm... It was only when Lin An'an realized why Zhou Qiaoqiao was so adamant about "giving up" Xu Mo,

Letting them—the so-called "cabbages"—chase after him,

That the truth hit her like a ton of bricks.

Tears welled up in that moment.

But the arrow was already nocked on the bowstring—

There was no turning back.

Besides, this was the path Lin An'an had chosen for herself.

Even if she had to cry her way through it, she would see it to the end!

She wasn’t one to back down easily.

Retreat?

Not a chance.

The next morning—

Xu Mo cracked his eyes open, checked the time, and promptly went back to sleep.

Honestly,

Just waking up at all was an achievement.

After all, he’d barely slept for two hours.

A soft snoring sound came from beside him.

Xu Mo glanced over before closing his eyes again.

Leaving now wouldn’t be right.

He should at least wait until the hostess of the house woke up.

That was basic guest etiquette.

Slipping away without a word?

That would be downright rude.

By the time the sun was high in the sky,

Lin An'an finally stirred awake, though her mind was still foggy.

But the presence of someone else beside her

Wasn’t a dream.

Nor was it an illusion.

As for proof,

She didn’t need to pinch herself.

There was a much better way to confirm reality.

Lin An'an winced slightly, inhaling sharply, before turning her gaze to the still-sleeping Xu Mo.

Xu Mo in silence.

Xu Mo whose thoughts she couldn’t hear.

His mystique and charm were dialed up to the max!

It was just...

How should she put it?

He was outstanding in every way.

His strengths were like that.

And his flaws?

Well, they were like that too.

Hmph, too outstanding!!!

Lin An'an pouted, feigning annoyance as she muttered, "You know, you’re way too perfect, you jerk."

Then, unbidden, memories of last night flooded back.

The pop diva was instantly torn between embarrassment and fury.

She was so mortified she could barely breathe!

It was getting late.

She had to seize the moment and get her revenge—right here, right now.

Lin An'an glanced around and quickly spotted what she needed.

"Humph, you big meanie, let’s see if you can keep sleeping now."

In the depths of slumber, Xu Mo felt a tickling sensation at the tip of his nose.

Through the haze, a woman’s playful giggles reached his ears.

"Tehehe... The sun’s setting, lazybones. How can you still be asleep...?"

Xu Mo’s eyelid twitched slightly, but the tickling persisted.

Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore—Achoo!

His eyes snapped open to find a stunning woman lying beside him.

A mischievous grin played on her lips as she propped her chin on one hand,

While the other trailed her silky black hair over his skin, teasingly.

Her five delicate toes pointed toward the ceiling,

Swaying back and forth like a pendulum.

Xu Mo caught her mischievous hand and chuckled.

"Seems like you’ve recovered well. Full of energy, huh?"

"Perfect timing for a little... lesson."

As he spoke, he made a move to flip over—like a carp leaping or a salted fish turning.

"Eek! Nooo!!"

The memory of being dominated by a "giant" came rushing back.

The diva paled in terror and couldn’t help but shriek.
