At midnight, Lu Qingyun and Jiang Ziyan supported Zhong Liying by her arms. "Liying, you've had so much to drink. We don't feel safe letting you go back alone. Why don't you come sleep at our place tonight?"
And so, Zhong Liying was brought to the villa in a daze. She was vaguely aware of someone undressing her, wiping down her body, and then tucking her under the covers.
She fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, she was woken by a powerful thirst. The moment she opened her eyes, she was startled to realize this wasn't her home.
She turned on the bedside lamp. It was only then that she discovered she was stripped down to just her underwear—and it wasn't the set she had been wearing earlier. She immediately checked her body, and finding nothing amiss, let out a long sigh of relief.
I've been so careless, she thought. I've never drunk this much before. All this time, her high level of alertness had steered her clear of one danger after another.
