Incurable Pain | Chapter 53.2

The classmate breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Bai Xunyin’s pure face under the light, thinking of her being both the school flower and a top student… A very gossipy thought popped into her mind.

She also wanted to know if this high-reaching flower had ever been ‘picked’.

So the classmate cleared her throat lightly and asked the exact same question as the one just asked to Ah Mo.

Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but be stunned, subconsciously turning her head in the direction of Yu Luoyin.

Only to see him with a hint of a smile in his black eyes, biting the rim of a disposable cup, also staring at her.

—What’s the most intimate level you’ve reached with a man?

Actually, this question was easy for Bai Xunyin to answer. By the time she was twenty-four, she had a boyfriend like Yu Luoyin.

The most intimate thing they had done was limited to kissing on the cheek, as pure as a blank sheet of paper…

But when her gaze met Sheng Churan’s unwavering eyes, waiting for her answer, Bai Xunyin suddenly didn’t want to say anything.

She didn’t want to reveal her intimacy to others, even if it was somewhat irrelevant.

“I don’t want to say.”

Bai Xunyin reached for a drink on the table.

“I’ll take the punishment.”

“Oh, why not?”

“Just wait, if you’re punished, do you have to blow on the bottle?”

…

Seeing her refusal to speak, the people around were sure there was some big gossip, so they came over gossiping.

Bai Xunyin smiled, feeling stubborn. She calmly looked at the group of people making a fuss. “Perfect, I haven’t tried blowing on the bottle yet.”

In fact, she didn’t really know how to drink.

Just as her fingertips touched the open beer bottle, a long and slender hand ‘snatched’ it away.

Bai Xunyin was somewhat surprised and turned to find that Yu Luoyin had stood up at some point, stretching his arm to take the beer bottle that should have belonged to Bai Xunyin, and said expressionlessly, “I’ll help her.”

…

No one dared to object and could only watch as Yu Luoyin helped Bai Xunyin with the punishment.

His natural grace was evident, even in this somewhat vulgar drinking table culture. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, drank a bottle of wine cleanly, and didn’t drip a drop of it like other men.

But even after quickly downing a bottle of wine, he couldn’t help but frown.

“Yu Luoyin, why are you helping Bai Xunyin drink?” The classmate who had just asked Bai Xunyin couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked weakly.

“Being attentive.” Yu Luoyin glanced at her, expressionless, with a cold sneer.

“Can’t you see that?”

…

For a long time afterward, various classmates at Third Middle High circulated stories of the ‘Yu Luoyin-style attentiveness’ — if you want to pursue someone, you have to be straightforward and fearless!

When Ah Mo pulled Bai Xunyin to sit down, she felt her ears burning.

She couldn’t help but look at Yu Luoyin, who was surrounded by the crowd, and wanted to ask him what he was up to.

But until the awkward dinner ended, she never got the chance.

Because Yu Luoyin… got drunk.

Bai Xunyin didn’t expect Yu Luoyin’s drinking capacity to be so ‘poor’.

He hadn’t drunk much at all, but after three bottles, he was drunk. A faint blush appeared on his usually clear and fair face, and his eyes looked a bit blurry.

“Uh, heh heh.”

When Li Yuan helped him out, he said somewhat awkwardly, “Yu Luoyin doesn’t drink usually because he’s studying medicine, so…”

This was a reasonable excuse for Yu Luoyin’s drinking capacity.

“Hey, I’m exhausted.”

When Li Yuan helped Yu Luoyin into the car, he handed the keys to Bai Xunyin.

“Bai Xunyin, could you please take him home? I’ll send you the address on your phone.”

They had just exchanged WeChat.

Bai Xunyin hesitated a bit, looking at him. “Me?”

“Yes, we’ve all been drinking.”

Li Yuan justified his request. “Ah Mo will send us back, so naturally, Yu Luoyin has to be entrusted to you.”

Bai Xunyin frowned at the inexplicably ‘important’ task, still hesitating.

Ah Mo, hearing the conversation, also felt uneasy and walked over.

“How about I send Yu Luoyin, and you can send them?”

She was a little worried that Bai Xunyin and Yu Luoyin would be at a disadvantage when they were alone together.

“Please, what are you meddling in?”

Li Yuan was almost driven crazy by her and pointed angrily at the few drunkards beside the car.

“Instead of coming here for fun, why don’t you go and take care of your boyfriend Sheng Wen? Go, go, go!”

With that, he forcibly dragged Ah Mo away.

Now, Li Yuan’s intention to create an opportunity for them to be alone was almost written on his face.

Bai Xunyin looked at their ‘torn’ figures with a wry smile but still got into the car.

Anyway, the fact that Yu Luoyin got drunk was true. It was also true that he was quietly dozing off in the passenger seat.

Since he had helped her at the hospital before, she had no reason to refuse to do something as simple as sending him home.

After Bai Xunyin got into the car, she set the destination to the address Li Yuan had just sent her.

Just as she was about to insert the key to start the car, she heard the hoarse voice of the person beside her murmuring, “Thirsty…”

People who drank would get thirsty. But there was no water in the car.

Bai Xunyin looked around but found nothing. She turned to see Yu Luoyin, eyes closed, pulling at his tie with a discomforted expression.

Hesitantly, she asked, “Do you mind drinking mine?”

Now, there was only a bottle of water in her bag that she had barely touched. But she had already drunk from it.

Naturally, she didn’t get a response from Yu Luoyin. He seemed really thirsty, licking his lips unconsciously.

After some thought, Bai Xunyin took out her bottle of water, which she hadn’t really drunk much from, unscrewed the cap, and leaned over to personally ‘feed’ Yu Luoyin.

However, Bai Xunyin wasn’t used to serving others. Her feeding was quite rough, almost like pouring, which made Yu Luoyin choke after drinking a few sips of the refreshing water.

He furrowed his brow and coughed lightly, catching Bai Xunyin off guard, causing her to shake and spill some water, splashing quite a bit on him.

Bai Xunyin: “…”

The cold water startled Yu Luoyin, who furrowed his brow, opened his eyes, and seemed to clear the foggy barrier.

Bai Xunyin’s small and fair face, so close, resembled that of a dream lover.
