Chapter 740: Chapter 740

Outside, another slightly frightening clap of thunder sounded, and then, it began to pour.

The restaurant owner kindly lent them an umbrella, but it was a folding umbrella, not very large.

Since this old restaurant was located in a residential area, parking was a bit difficult.

Now, as more and more families owned cars, it made many residential areas have absolutely no place to park, relying entirely on everyone’s driving skills and the ability to "squeeze through tight spots."

Quite a few residential areas only left a narrow lane just wide enough for one car, and any available parking space was haphazardly filled.

Cheng Zhu’s Land Rover was parked very far away and in a particularly remote spot.

The two of them shared a small umbrella, and the rain seemed to get heavier, the wind began to howl.

A drunken Zhang Qiqi was somewhat unsteady on her feet, forcing Cheng Zhu to hold the umbrella with one hand and wrap his other arm around her, or else it felt like she could fall at any time.

Because the rain was pouring down very heavily, like the day Jiang Zhishu stole the electric bike, like the day Shan Cai left Daimonji, like the day Yiping went to ask her dad for money, like the iconic dancing scene in "Forbidden City Peak" when they yelled, "Stop fighting!"

This caused the green tea school beauty’s white blouse to be completely soaked, and her white undershirt was slightly wet as well.

The bare long legs under her denim shorts were also speckled with droplets.

Cheng Zhu had actually tilted the umbrella towards her side, but it was to no avail.

"What wretched weather!" he was truly exasperated.

He hadn’t seen such heavy rain all year.

When they reached the car, Cheng Zhu directly opened the rear door on the left side.

He couldn’t be bothered to send Zhang Qiqi to the passenger seat, since he would have to walk around to get in the car himself.

He also got into the back seat, planning to later climb over to the driver’s seat from the back, which would make it easier to manage the umbrella.

Otherwise, when he collapsed the umbrella, he would have to throw it aside, getting the driver’s seat and other areas wet.

This way, he could simply throw the umbrella onto the floor mat of the back seat.

As it turned out, the rain managed to get even heavier.

The visibility was extremely low, to the point that even with hazard lights, one wouldn’t dare drive because the risk was simply too high.

Looking out through the dark window tint, everything outside was basically invisible.

With the rain this heavy, there was simply no way to drive.

"It’s ridiculously exaggerated; looks like we’ll have to wait for the rain to ease up a bit," Cheng Zhu stated.

Having been drenched by the rain, Zhang Qiqi had sobered up somewhat.

She hadn’t expected that the two of them would end up completely trapped in the car .

Their eyes met, and she immediately said, "Junior, you’re all wet, I... I have some tissues."

She took off her drenched blouse from the outside, her underlayer was still okay.

Half of Cheng Zhu’s body was almost soaked; she immediately pulled out tissues from her bag to wipe him down.

Since the car hadn’t been started, the air in the enclosed space wasn’t circulating at all.

He could smell Zhang Qiqi’s faint scent, along with a light aroma of alcohol emanating from her.

It was as though she could feel his warmth, his breath.

Cheng Zhu was simply looking down at her, just watching her as she clumsily wiped him down with the tissue.

Interestingly, the green tea school beauty was now sitting on the right side of the back seat, while Cheng Zhu was on the left.

And the side of his body that was soaked was also the left side.

This made it difficult for her as she wiped, leaning half of her body against Cheng Zhu again.

Their skins touched, one clothed in a tight undershirt, the other in a simple white T-shirt.

They could feel each other’s skin temperature, and the wetness of the water droplets on their skin.

Cheng Zhu continued to look down at her, silently watching her.

Inside the dark and intimate Land Rover, they could only vaguely see each other’s faces.

But the romantic and ambiguous atmosphere began to resonate throughout the car.

Zhang Qiqi timidly raised her head, her chin slightly lifted, looking into Cheng Zhu’s eyes.

Their gaze stretched in the air, tinged with a blurry and hazy effect after the alcohol.

Her lips slightly parted, revealing a glimpse of her pearly teeth and tongue.

Cheng Zhu, seeing her lift her head to look at him, didn’t avoid her gaze and continued to silently watch her.

It was as if he hadn’t done anything.

But the atmosphere in the car kept intensifying.

Zhang Qiqi had intended to pretend to be drunk that night.

Under such circumstances, she switched from breathing through her nose to breathing through her mouth.

Her slightly parted red lips began to inhale and exhale.

At that moment, she felt a sensation of being overwhelmed, holding a tissue in her right hand, which rested on Cheng Zhu’s arm, then suddenly grabbed his arm for leverage.

Immediately after, she spoke the words she hadn’t finished last time in the classroom at the entrepreneurship park.

However, last time, she had stuttered because of a woman’s modesty, and couldn’t speak fluently in one breath.

This time, under the influence of alcohol, she really didn’t care anymore.

"Cheng Zhu, I like you."

After she spoke, she took the initiative and kissed him again.

The next moment, she felt Cheng Zhu’s hand, which was supporting her back, apply a bit more force.

Her waist pushed forwards, with her round curves pressed tightly against his chest, creating a sensation of compression.

Their tongues touched; Zhang Qiqi’s body slightly undulated, her shoulders under the undershirt occasionally lifting slightly, then lowering, and so it continued intermittently.

Somehow, later on, she ended up sitting on Cheng Zhu’s lap, her legs apart, face to face with him.

The rain outside was simply too heavy.

The car was originally fitted with privacy tinting.
