"Who's under the bed, come out now!"
Ming Mei anxiously stared at the space beneath the bed, thinking she was the only one to have come tonight.
Since Brother Luo had passed out drunk, she planned to have him all to herself.
But she hadn't expected someone to have beaten her to it and hidden under the bed.
It really gave her a fright.
Under the bed.
The atmosphere was eerily still.
Huo Wu was clutching torn stockings and a gown, while Shui Bing'er held high heels with multiple runs in her silk stockings making her look utterly disheveled.
Both women stared at each other with their Beautiful Eyes wide open, locked in eye contact.
They could almost see the nearly naked forms of one another.
In that instant, numerous thoughts raced through Shui Bing'er's mind.
She even felt like drowning herself in a river.
The words I just said to Brother Luo, didn't Huo Wu hear them all from under the bed?
The things I just did to Brother Luo, doesn't Huo Wu know all about them now?
She felt as embarrassed as could be.
But what made her most wary was that this woman was also clutching clothes.
Could it be that she also had some sort of encounter with Brother Luo?
Shui Bing'er looked down at Huo Wu's cheeks, then lowered her gaze.
Her pupils shrank.
Then she looked at herself, and indeed made a discovery.
She covered her mouth with one hand.
The evidence was undeniable, the truth revealed.
This woman had also sneakily taken advantage of Brother Luo.
That was too much.
To think she got here earlier than me!
Was I eating this woman's "leftovers"?
In an instant, Shui Bing'er felt her whole world collapse, rage flushing her face red.
Over on Huo Wu's side, she was also panic-stricken.
You could have hidden anywhere, why did you have to crawl under the bed?
To think you also made a scene while under there.
Were you afraid no one would know about the naughty things you were up to late at night?
Ming Mei said, "Person under the bed, come out now, or I'll have to come over there!"
Huo Wu was frantic.
She was naked, and it would be mortifying if this woman came over and saw her like this.
She gestured to Shui Bing'er with her mouth.
"Sister, don't sell me out!"
At the same time, in her heart she repeated a silent prayer for her own skin.
She lifted her beautiful leg with just the right amount of force.
And she kicked Shui Bing'er right out from underneath.
Ming Mei approached, intending to investigate under the bed.
"Whoosh!"
Shui Bing'er slid out from under the bed.
"Yikes!"
Ming Mei, startled, jumped to the side.
Shui Bing'er rubbed her backside as she got up, casting an angry glance at the underside of the bed.
"Bing'er sister, how... how come you're in Brother Luo's room?" Ming Mei was full of curiosity.
"Uh... well, that..." Shui Bing'er fell into an awkward state, the normally composed and cool her now flustered, with eyes averted and looking all around.
Seeing the Jadeite Jade Pot on the table, it was like grasping a lifesaving straw.
"I came to deliver hangover soup for Brother Luo."
"Deliver hangover soup?"
Ming Mei scrutinized Shui Bing'er from head to toe, her red lips twitching.
"Sis, the kind of story you're telling is really hard for me to believe."
Shui Bing'er pointed to the Jade Vase, "Look, isn't that filled with hangover soup I personally brewed?"
Ming Mei shook her head, pouting her lips.
"Bing'er sister, does delivering hangover soup include delivering it under the bed~"
"Were you just helping Brother Luo catch mice by any chance?"
Shui Bing'er hung her head low, unable to meet her gaze, repeatedly coughing and saying, "What if I said my earring fell under the bed and I was looking for it, would you believe that?"
Ming Mei shook her head and gestured to Shui Bing'er's current disarray.
"Bing'er sister, since when did Brother Luo's room get carpeted? Why are your stockings so badly run?"
"Ah!"
"And there's such a big hole here."
"Hiss—"
Even the slow-reacting Ming Mei started piecing together numerous images in her head, looking at the still Luo Yu on the bed, she widened her Beautiful Eyes, filled with shock.
"Bing'er sister, you didn't take advantage of Brother Luo when he was drunk... you didn't... did you... "
The rest of the sentence Ming Mei simply couldn't bring herself to say out loud.
Shui Bing'er bit her red lips tightly, at a loss for words for a moment.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er behind the curtain fanned their chests repeatedly, taking long breaths of relief.
They could all imagine the embarrassment Shui Bing'er must have felt being caught red-handed by Ming Mei.
They were incredibly relieved they hadn't been exposed, or else they would also be facing the awkwardness of a social death in public.
Ming Mei said with difficulty, "Bing'er? You didn't really do something to Brother Luo...?"
Shui Bing'er's head was buzzing; she had never encountered this before.
She couldn't wait to escape the situation.
In desperation, she said to Ming Mei, "Wait for me a moment."
After speaking, Shui Bing'er threw her high heels aside and bent over to reach under the bed.
"Stop playing dead, you come out too!"
"What are you doing, I'm not coming out, I'd rather die than come out," a struggling, crisp female voice came from under the bed.
"What?" exclaimed Ming Mei, "There's someone else under the bed besides Bing'er?"
Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er had just heaved a sigh of relief, thinking they would get through the ordeal successfully today, and it would all be over once Shui Bing'er and Ming Mei left.
But seeing Shui Bing'er tugging with the unknown person under the bed, they were completely shocked.
There was actually someone else under the bed?
Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu looked at each other with a series of question marks written all over their faces.
Xue Wu looked at Shui Yue'er as if asking for her opinion.
Shui Yue'er shook her head.
Xue Wu was completely baffled at this point.
If Shui Yue'er didn't know there was someone under the bed, didn't that mean the person had arrived even earlier than them?
Didn't that mean everything they had said was overheard by the person under the bed?
The heart that had just settled was now in their throats again.
Because of the exposure of the other party, it meant they were also not safe now.
Huo Wu was eventually pulled out.
Seeing Huo Wu's sexy and provocative attire, even more exaggerated than Shui Bing'er's,
Ming Mei, along with Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er in hiding, were too shocked to speak.
"Huo Wu, what are you doing here too!!"
"You... you and Bing'er, you two didn't team up to do something to Brother Luo...?"
Ming Mei's small cherry lips opened wide in astonishment, beginning to speak incoherently.
Huo Wu glared at Shui Bing'er with anger in her beautiful eyes and then turned to Ming Mei.
"What nonsense are you talking!"
"It was your so-called great team captain who dealt with Luo Yu all by herself."
"If you want to ask anything, ask her, what does it have to do with me!"
"Ah?" Upon confirmation, Ming Mei gasped in surprise, "Captain, you really did something to Brother Luo... no way, no way!!"
She really hadn't expected the always calm and composed captain to do something so crazy.
Shui Bing'er wasn't pleased and glared at Huo Wu.
"Don't talk about me, let's discuss what you did to Brother Luo before I arrived."
"I wondered why there was a fishy smell when I entered the room."
Huo Wu's face turned red, and she vehemently denied in embarrassment.
"Don't frame me, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" Shui Bing'er snorted, "If you dare, take two steps."
"Take two steps?"
"Heh, what's not to dare, I'll walk."
Huo Wu moved her beautiful legs, but just after taking two steps, she stumbled.
Her face changed instantly.
"Tsk, what's wrong with the beauty genius of Chi Fire Academy, suddenly not so nimble on her feet?" Shui Bing'er laughed coldly.
Huo Wu took a deep breath to steady her mind.
"If you're so capable, you take two steps."
"Sure, I'll walk."
Shui Bing'er's eyebrows lifted, and she tiptoed, catwalking on the carpet.
It looked smooth and effortless on the surface.
In reality, she gritted her teeth and a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her back.
Huo Wu couldn't help but applaud.
"Worthy of being Captain Shui, you really can endure, I'm even admiring you now."
"Endure what?" Shui Bing'er spread her hands, "I'm fine, what is there to endure."
Huo Wu replied, "Don't think you can get away with it by being thick-skinned, I have a witness."
Shui Bing'er laughed.
"A witness? There are only the three of us and Brother Luo in this room, where did the witness come from."
"You aren't hoping for the completely drunk Brother Luo to be your witness, are you?"
Huo Wu glanced at Luo Yu with a meaningful look and then towards the direction of the curtains, her mouth curling into a smirk.
"There's more than you think in this room."
These words sent a jolt through Shui Bing'er and Ming Mei.
Luo Yu, Xue Wu, and Shui Yue'er all started to panic, their heart rates accelerating.
