Chapter 274: Chapter 272: The Abandoned Luo Xiaolang

Translator: 549690339

On Jin City’s summer night, waves of heat rolled in.

Luo Xiaolang wasn’t too bothered by the heat, but she felt that the tangy sea breeze, sticky with dampness, was rather uncomfortable. Despite the sweltering night, the men and women in front of her were in high spirits.

Loud music blared on the massive yacht.

About twenty people, all in swimwear, moved carelessly to the rhythm of the music on the deck. Everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Luo Xiaolang sat on the side, dressed in her favorite tracksuit, simply observing them all, quiet and out of place.

She was truly bored.

Her phone was out of charge, and she didn’t feel like finding a place to charge it.

So she sat quietly on the side, watching Yin Qin enjoying himself immensely, without any hint of loneliness.

Luo Xiaolang felt like she had been fooled by Yin Qin every time.

Actually, Yin Qin could have a good time on his own while she was of no use; once he started having fun, he wouldn’t think of her from beginning to end.

Who knows how much time had passed.

Yin Qin, perhaps tired from dancing, staggered towards Luo Xiaolang from the crowd on the deck.

Luo Xiaolang watched him all the way.

He seemed to have drunk too much, for he was swaying while walking.

Suddenly, he flung himself onto Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang felt some disgust but did not push him away.

She could distinctly smell the strong scent of alcohol on him.

Yin Qin leaned on Luo Xiaolang’s shoulder for a while.

Although there was a considerable height difference between Luo Xiaolang and her, she was indeed taller and much stronger than most women. Yin Qin didn’t seem worried about her not being able to support his weight as he leaned on her.

In such a star-studded night, with blaring music and frenzied people around.

Yin Qin suddenly felt peaceful, lying on Luo Xiaolang for quite a while.

His lips murmured near Luo Xiaolang’s ear, “Luo Xiaolang, from now on, you are my friend.”

Luo Xiaolang’s eyebrows moved slightly.

She didn’t know if Yin Qin was drunk when he blurted out that statement.

Yin Qin was indeed a bit tipsy.

It was the alcohol that made him vulnerable. Luo Xiaolang’s quiet company made a significant impact on him during his feeling of emptiness and discomfort. From his heart, he was sincere when he said the word “friend”.

He felt that if Luo Xiaolang needed his help in the future, he would rush to her aid without hesitation.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t know what was going through Yin Qin’s mind at the moment, but she did feel him getting heavier. His weight wasn’t an issue to her as her stamina could handle it; it was just the strong alcohol smell from him was too overpowering, and she was not fond of it.

She endured it silently, literally bearing with it.

Yin Qin, on the other hand, appeared to have no intention of moving from his spot. She thought she heard snoring.

So, had this guy fallen asleep on her?!

Luo Xiaolang put up with it and reached out to guide a tipsy Yin Qin to rest in the yacht’s cabin. Suddenly, a drunken man wobbled over to her. Watching his erratic behavior, she feared he might trip and fall.

He grabbed Yin Qin, who was leaning on Luo Xiaolang, and said, “Master Yin, I was wondering where you had wandered off to. How can you not drink and just snuggle with your chick here? Don’t you know that being interested in the opposite sex makes you lose our…”

Yin Qin opened his eyes in a daze, “Who are you calling interested in the opposite sex? People who are interested in the opposite sex are called Baijian, not Yin Qin. Burp…”

Yin Qin let out a burp.

The man holding Yin Qin was also swaying.

“And what’s more, what’s so ‘opposite-sex-interesting’ about Luo Xiaolang? She’s just like a guy. Look at her; where does she resemble a woman? Her hair is so short, and she’s so tall. Look at the muscles on her arm…” Saying this, Yin Qin grabbed Luo Xiaolang’s arm.

Intoxicated people tend to be stronger.

Luo Xiaolang’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

She watched as a drunk Yin Qin was grabbing her arm and showing it to the other man, “See, don’t you see? It’s all solid.”

The drunk man was nodding continuously, apparently agreeing, while mumbling under his breath, “Not a woman, she’s not a woman…”

“But even though she doesn’t resemble a woman, she does give a tremendous sense of security.” Yin Qin suddenly leaned back onto Luo Xiaolang, resting against her shoulder like a docile wife.

Luo Xiaolang frowned.

Drunk people were really annoying.

“I also want to lean, I also want to lean…” The man in front of her, equally drunk, slurred as he tried to collapse onto Luo Xiaolang.

Yin Qin stopped him.

“Get lost. Don’t come near my Xiaolang.” Yin Qin protectively encircled Xiaolang as if he feared someone might snatch her away.

Luo Xiaolang was truly speechless at the inanity of drunk people. They were brainless and acted like idiots.

“Mr. Yin, we all thought you brought a woman to provoke Ji Baixin to the headlines intentionally. Now I have to wonder if you are actually in love with Luo Xiaolang, seeing how tight you’re holding her…” The woman in front of them pointed at Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang, grinning mischievously, “But Mr. Yin, your taste is really unique…burp…”

“Get lost. Luo Xiaolang is merely my brother. I’d rather stay single than have her as my wife!” Yin Qin stated bluntly, “Could you bring yourself to do this to such a person, huh?”

Yin Qin’s face was full of disgust.

The man in front of them staggered, “Don’t know, need to try to find out…”

“You still want to try? You can go to hell.” Yin Qin landed a punch on the man.

Being tipsy, he didn’t have much strength at the moment.

The two spent some time mumbling drunk nonsense before staggering back into the crowd to drink and dance.

Luo Xiaolang watched their retreating figures, then turned and walked towards the railing at the edge of the deck, gazing out at the calm sea.

She felt hot, sweaty. Everything was damp and uncomfortable.

And the antipathy stemmed from Yin Qin’s bear hug just now that smelled like booze. After giving it some thought, she heaved herself over the side of the deck and plunged directly into the water below.

The moment she jumped.

There was a sudden scream from the deck, “Ah! Someone jumped into the sea to commit suicide!”

That sentence sobered everyone up instantly. The music was turned off and everyone looked at the person who screamed.

“Who jumped into the sea?” someone asked.

“That woman brought by Mr. Yin. She just jumped straight down from here…”

“Who!?” Yin Qin shivered.

He wasn’t swaying now, and the alcohol seemed to have left his system. He grabbed the screaming woman, “Who did you say jumped?”

“Your…your girlfriend…”

“Damn it!” Yin Qin quickly headed towards the deck railing.

Violent, he ripped off his white T-shirt. He wore just a pair of black swimming bottoms. He intended to climb over the rail and jump.

“Mr. Yin, we can’t act rashly, we can’t act rashly!” Everybody hurried to hold him back.

“Let me go!” Yin Qin pushed at the others.

But he had consumed too much alcohol and was now lacking strength.

“Calm down, calm down. The sailors will dive in soon, just stay calm…” Everybody was holding Yin Qin back, preventing him from a suicidal leap.

“Let go! Damn it!” Yin Qin flared up.

He was truly exasperated at this point.

If anything happened to Luo Xiaolang, if Luo Xiaolang died, how would he explain it to Song Zhizhi?

The thought of Luo Xiaolang’s death made Yin Qin even more restless.

Her youthful face kept flashing in his mind.

She was only 18, just 18!

Too young to die.

Thinking this, Yin Qin became even more furious. He suddenly mustered a burst of strength from somewhere and pushed everyone around him away. The next second he prepared to jump.

“Wait!” someone staring at the sea shouted, “She seems to be swimming, not committing suicide.”

“What?” Yin Qin calmed down and looked out at the sea. A figure was bobbing in and out of the water, clearly swimming.

Damn it!

Who the hell said she was committing suicide?

Almost gave me a heart attack.

Yin Qin gave a sigh of relief at that moment.

He could have died from the fright.

“So you were just swimming… I thought, I thought you were drowning…” said the woman who had screamed in embarrassment, “I mean, why would you do that when you have Yin Qin, such an excellent boyfriend… hehehe…”

Awkward laughter ensued.

Everyone else was speechless.

“Let’s go to the island over there and play for a while. The sand on the beach there is very delicate. Let’s rest there for a bit,” suggested the embarrassed woman, pointing at the neighbouring island, aiming to lighten the mood.

Since they were out to have fun, everyone agreed in an instant, during the peak of their excitement.

The yacht started heading toward the island.

Yin Qin had Luo Xiaolang brought back via speedboat.

When she returned, Luo Xiaolang was soaking wet, looking very peeved. Her loose clothes clung to her skin, clearly revealing the black vest she had on underneath.

Yin Qin didn’t notice this at the time. He grabbed Luo Xiaolang’s hand and grumbled, “What were you thinking, swimming in the sea in the middle of the night?”

“It was hot,” Luo Xiaolang responded.

“So you decide to take a bath in the sea because it’s hot? You really have no heavenly restraint, do you?”

“There’s no water in the sky,” she retorted.

At that moment, Yin Qin was rendered speechless.

All he could do was stare at Luo Xiaolang.

Stare at this woman who showed absolutely no remorse.

Lucky he just barely managed to hold back his fear.

“Mr. Yin!” The previously drunken man leaned over again, floundering. He leaned his entire body onto Yin Qin, slinging his arm over Yin Qin’s shoulder, “What’s with the scolding? You nearly scared our little Luo Xiaolang to tears. Come, come, big brother will comfort you…”

He then leaned over to her.

Yin Qin held the man back, “Are you a dog? Always wagging your tail at anyone?”

“Damn, I’m pure, I am pure!” The man was angry, “Do I need to do this for Luo Xiaolang, who’s not even fully developed yet? Look at her, flat as an airfield.”

“Who the hell are you calling an airfield, huh? Who are you calling an airfield?” Yin Qin was protective of Luo Xiaolang, like a mother hen protecting her chicks. He didn’t tolerate any negative comments about Luo Xiaolang.

“Luo Xiaolang is an airfield!”

“Which eye of yours sees that?!”

“Both my eyes see it, look, look…” The man pointed at Luo Xiaolang’s body.

Yin Qin looked in her direction.

At that moment, he saw Luo Xiaolang’s clinging clothes. It was all very clear.

Damn it.

He was furious.

His anger seemed to surge incessantly.

He harshly pulled Luo Xiaolang and headed below the deck.

The drunk man watched the backs of Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang in a daze, puzzled by Yin Qin’s actions. He muttered to himself, “So, Yin Qin really does like Luo Xiaolang…”

Otherwise, why would he be so nervous?

Meanwhile, Yin Qin had dragged Luo Xiaolang into the guest cabin. He rummaged frantically through the cupboard for something, tossing things around until he found a men’s T-shirt. He roughly put it on Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang had to keep her patience to avoid punching Yin Qin in the face.

“Luo Xiaolang, you’re a woman, you’re a woman now!” Yin Qin said.

Luo Xiaolang thought that Yin Qin often contradicted himself; just a while ago, he said she was not a woman.

Besides.

Does it really matter that much whether one is a man or a woman?!

Aren’t we all the same, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth?

“Mr. Yin, we’ve reached the island!” Someone outside suddenly knocked on the door, calling out to him loudly.

Yin Qin responded, “Coming!”

And then towards Luo Xiaolang, he said, “You’re absolutely not allowed to help me to bathe again!”

Then, he pulled Luo Xiaolang out of the cabin and took her with him to the nearby beach.

Once they reached the beach, yet again everyone started having wild fun.

With music and alcohol, the group was still in high spirits.

As Luo Xiaolang sat on the beach and watched them sing and dance and play, sometimes it seemed to her like she was watching a group of lunatics perform.

She lay on the beach, feeling totally bored.

She rolled over, turning her back to these people, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

It had been a long time since she had slept outside like this.

All this while being stuck in the city, amidst the hustle and bustle, she had almost forgotten how it felt to be in Wulin Temple.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a little like she was back there.

Even though Wulin Temple was in the deep mountains and this was a beach, both had the aura of nature.

There was no heavy dust, no heavy noise, she suddenly felt like going back.

And so she lay there quietly.

The people around her had played for who knows how long, some started to feel tired.

The music was turned off, the noise gradually faded, and in the end, it seemed like there was no sound at all.

Luo Xiaolang turned around, and saw that the somewhat dim beach was now empty, and the yacht had already started to sail away from the island.

Luo Xiaolang climbed up from the beach, watching the colourful yacht get further and further away from her.

She just watched quietly, without shouting or making a fuss, without any emotion.

Yin Qin was truly drunk.

Deeply drunk.

His head was throbbing in pain, he had no idea how he managed to get back to the Yin family home, he didn’t even know how he ended up in bed. All he knew was when he woke up, his entire body was so uncomfortable, it was as if he was dying. He rolled over, picked up the incessantly ringing phone next to him.

He was feeling so uncomfortable, who the hell was calling him so early in the morning?

He answered, “Hello.”

“Yin Qin, where is Luo Xiaolang!” A questioning voice came from Song Zhizhi on the other side.

“Huh?”

“I’m asking where Luo Xiaolang has gone? There’s no one at home, where did you take her last night!” Song Zhizhi questioned him harshly.

Yin Qin, massaging his pounding headache, said, “Didn’t she come back?”

“Came back where!” Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth, “Yin Qin if you dared to do anything to Luo Xiaolang…”

What could he have done to that puppy?

Yin Qin was speechless, “Luo Xiaolang is not with me, perhaps she went out early for exercise, she’s always been out of the ordinary.”

“The one who is out of the ordinary is you, not Luo Xiaolang!” The other end snapped, “I’m asking you seriously, where on earth is Luo Xiaolang? Did she go with you?”

“She didn’t go with me.”

“Then where did she go?”

“How would I know? Didn’t we all come back together last night? Just give her a call and ask.”

“If I could get through to her, would I need to look for you?! Moreover, Luo Xiaolang always drives me to work every day, she would never disappear without a reason! Yin Qin, where did you take Luo Xiaolang last night?!” Song Zhizhi was furious.

When she woke up this morning, surprisingly, Luo Xiaolang was not waiting for her in the garage. She didn’t pick up her calls either. After waiting for a long time and not seeing Luo Xiaolang come down, she went upstairs to look for her and realized that she hadn’t come home the entire night. She immediately exploded with anger, thinking that something had happened to Luo Xiaolang because of Yin Qin!

But when she calmed down, she felt it to be unlikely.

But Luo Xiaolang had never disappeared like this before. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦

If she was not with Yin Qin, then where had Luo Xiaolang gone?!

Her heart constricts.

Suddenly, she hears Yin Qin’s scream from the phone, “Damn it, didn’t we leave Luo Xiaolang stranded on the beach?!”
