Chapter 180
“I will be careful in the future! Thank you!”
Zhou Can, looking at Su Qianqian in his arms, let out a wry smile.
Aside from truly being beautiful, the girlfriend part was fake.
Given her looks and talents, it’s unlikely she would fancy an ordinary little doctor like Zhou Can.
Female stars like to marry rich businessmen, tycoons.
It took Zhou Can quite some effort to carry her into the house she rented.
He turned on the light and shut the front door.
Zhou Can carried her straight to the bedroom.
Considering her current state, she probably won’t wake up until tomorrow.
The bedroom is decorated with the sweet scent of a young woman’s life.
Predominantly in shades of pink.
He placed her on the bed, took off her high heels, and covered her with a blanket.
Zhou Can stared at her devastatingly beautiful face for a few seconds, then walked out of the room, only to return soon after.
He brought a glass of water and set it on the bedside table.
“Ugh…”
Suddenly, she had a severe vomiting reaction.
Zhou Can hurriedly found a plastic basin, helped her sit up, then gently patted her back.
“Ugh… Wow… Splash…”
A large amount of sour-smelling filth was vomited out, luckily caught by the basin.
After she finished throwing up, Zhou Can helped her wipe her mouth with a tissue.
Then he gave her a couple of sips of water.
After taking care of her, he quickly took the waste to the bathroom to dispose of it.
Returning to the room, he opened the window to air out the space.
For a drunk person, vomiting can be very dangerous.
It can easily cause vomitus to block the airway or be aspirated into the airway, eventually leading to asphyxiation and death.
Zhou Can stayed by the bedside for over an hour, making sure she wouldn’t vomit again before he finally got up to leave.
Before leaving, he closed the window for her and brought the door to her room with him.
Lying in bed, Su Qianqian, hearing the sound of the front door closing from outside, slightly opened her eyes and saw the glass of water on the nightstand. A faint smile appeared on her lips.
A gentleman does not take advantage of someone’s vulnerability.
Facing such a beautiful drunk woman, and being alone with her in a room, Zhou Can didn’t make any disrespectful moves.
That must be why she’s smiling so smugly.
At least, it shows she’s good at reading people.
Besides, Zhou Can was especially thoughtful when taking care of her.
He’s a total sweetheart!
If his late-night rush to unlock her door was just the beginning of a better understanding and trust between them, then after this incident, their relationship surely was no longer just that of a tenant and a landlord.
The connection between people is so wonderful and magical.
From meeting to getting to know each other, to slowly understanding and further interacting.
Every phase is a gentle progression.
Love at first sight is more common in idol dramas. In real life, it’s extremely rare.
Especially in today’s materialistic world, interactions between men and women have become increasingly cautious.
Those who weren’t careful, ended up being conned into marriage, swindled out of money or love… After society’s harsh lessons, they, too, learned to be cautious.
…
The next day, as Zhou Can was preparing to go to work, he received a message from Su Qianqian.
“Thank you for your thoughtful care! Thank you for your respect!”
After reading the message, Zhou Can revealed a knowing smile.
Do celebrities even send thank-you texts in such a special way?
Thinking back to last night, holding the soft and fragrant figure in his arms, and the various scenes of being alone together, he was able to suppress his fantasies and restrain his impulses and desires, which was not something any ordinary man could do.
Zhou Can had no intention of replying to the message.
He was very clear-headed; what happened yesterday was just emergency aid.
If he thought that Su Qianqian was interested in him, that would be pure wishful thinking.
He went to work at the hospital as usual, his mindset unaffected.
But when he finished work, he discovered a WeChat friend request.
He clicked on it.
“Dr. Zhou, please accept, I’m Su Qianqian!”
The friend request must have been sent a long time ago.
But he was working at the time and couldn’t use his phone, so he hadn’t noticed it.
After he accepted her friend request,
She immediately sent over a pouty emoticon.
“I thought you just couldn’t be bothered with me!”
“Just busy at work and didn’t look at my phone! Are you sober now?”
If he didn’t reply now, Su Qianqian might really take him for a cold-hearted man.
“Got it. (Giggles)”
“I’ve been awake for ages~! But now I feel like getting drunk again!”
She seems to be finally letting down her guard when talking with Zhou Can.
Maybe Zhou Can’s repeated acts of chivalry, including a time when he didn’t take advantage of her vulnerability, won her trust and favor.
“(Question mark)”
Zhou Can sent a questioning emoticon.
In online chatting, emoticons convey more warmth than mere punctuation.
“Come over for a couple of drinks with me, then I’ll tell you!”
She took a photo that seemed to be of a coffee table in the living room.
On it, there’s a large spread of canned beer.
Seems like she’s dealing with some troubling matters.
But her recent circumstances have indeed been somewhat unlucky.
“Chatting isn’t part of the real estate agent’s job description, ha!”
Zhou Can was tacitly declining.
“I don’t have many genuine friends in this city, just wanted to find someone to talk to. Maybe, I’ll be leaving this city soon.”
Was she trying to garner sympathy?
“So, just the two of us drinking in your rental place?”
Zhou Can asked.
“Are you coming?”
She almost gave consent.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll get bold with a few drinks in me and do something to you?” He felt that Su Qianqian’s attitude towards him had changed drastically.
“If you were that kind of person, would you have waited until today?”
Her words were laced with deep implications.
