Chapter 759: Chapter 271: The Ice Beauty’s Image Shattered
Unfortunately, he misunderstood; Yan Qiuwen wasn’t in that ninety percent; she was truly drunk.
Seeing Yan Qiuwen’s state, it was clear she couldn’t walk on her own, so Su Zelin could only support her out of the car.
The taxi drove away.
Su Zelin brought Yan Qiuwen to the front door, feeling anxious and uneasy at heart.
Qiuwen’s mom doesn’t even let her daughter have fried dough sticks with soy milk, showing her disdain for junk food. Yet tonight, Qiuwen drank, and got drunk. Mrs. Yan could probably tell it was because of his persuasion. Who knows what she’d think then.
It might not even go well for Yan Qiuwen when she sobers up. She might take the initiative to tell him not to let her stay at his company anymore.
With a heavy heart, he pressed the doorbell, waited for a while, but no one answered.
He pressed it a few more times, but still no response.
Su Zelin was puzzled.
It wasn’t that late, around ten-thirty. Even if Qiuwen’s parents had good habits of going to bed early, they shouldn’t be asleep this deeply.
Could it be that they’re not home?
The couple is often invited to give academic lectures out of town, so it’s not unusual for them to be on a business trip occasionally.
So Su Zelin asked, "Qiuwen, are your parents not home?"
"They... went out,"
Yan Qiuwen replied unconsciously.
However, Su Zelin confirmed it.
He hesitated, then opened the small bag Qiuwen was carrying.
Inside, there was no makeup mirror or lipstick, just a cell phone, a set of keys, and a philosophy book, which she might have been reading in the car.
He took out the keys, found the largest one, and inserted it into the door lock.
"Click..."
The door unlocked successfully.
Taking the key out, he helped Yan Qiuwen inside and locked the door.
He headed to the hall he visited last time as a guest. The lights were on, but no one was there.
It must have been Qiuwen who left the lights on before going out. In such a big house, leaving the lights on at night helps deter thieves.
He quickly found Yan Qiuwen’s bedroom, located just beside the hall.
After putting her on the bed, Su Zelin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought for a moment and took off her shoes and socks.
A pair of snow-white feet appeared before his eyes.
Yan Qiuwen’s feet were incredibly attractive, not too big, not too small, just the right size. Each toe was delicately shaped, exuding an exquisite beauty.
Many people with certain preferences adore women’s feet for a reason, though it’s a bit of a niche taste.
His tastes weren’t that extreme, but he couldn’t help but be captivated by Qiuwen’s beautiful feet, until he forced himself to look away after a while.
He glanced around the prodigious young woman’s bedroom; there wasn’t any cute decor that girls her age usually like. The room was mostly furnished with rosewood, giving it an antique elegance.
Su Zelin’s gaze swept around and landed on a notebook on the desk.
The room was so sparsely furnished that it hardly had any clutter, making the notebook quite conspicuous.
"Behavioral Psychology of High IQ Individuals with a Deep Curiosity Nature"!
He looked at the title.
Hey, isn’t this Qiuwen’s research topic?
This description fits me precisely.
Su Zelin suddenly felt a bit curious.
He wondered how Yan Qiuwen would dissect him, the guinea pig, in her research.
How about taking a peek?
After all, it’s not like it’s a diary, just a research topic; there’s nothing too private.
Feeling tempted, he stood in front of the desk, thinking for a moment, and couldn’t resist reaching towards the notebook.
"What are you doing?"
A mechanical, emotionless female voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Su Zelin was startled. He turned around to find Yan Qiuwen had somehow woken up and was sitting up straight.
Hurriedly retracting his hand, he laughed awkwardly, "Ah, nothing. Qiuwen, you drank too much and couldn’t walk earlier. Your parents aren’t home, so I helped you to your room. Don’t mind it."
"Su Zelin, come here!"
Yan Qiuwen beckoned to him with an expressionless face.
"What for?"
Su Zelin asked tentatively.
"Come closer, I’ll tell you!"
The prodigious young woman patted the place beside her on the couch, her tone firm, almost commanding.
An intoxicated person cannot be judged by common sense, so Su Zelin didn’t dare defy her command and could only walk over and sit beside her.
Yan Qiuwen stared fixedly at him; her usually profound eyes appeared hollow, as if devoid of a soul.
Normally, she already seemed like an artificial intelligence, and now she even more so, causing Su Zelin’s heart to flutter uneasily.
"Su Zelin, you know what, you’re such a jerk, a super big jerk!"
Without any warning, Yan Qiuwen burst out, leaving Su Zelin bewildered.
This girl, though sometimes sharp-tongued, never scolds people, let alone shouting angrily like this.
"It’s already bad enough that you’re greedy for what’s in your bowl while eyeing the pot, but you even have me as your accomplice! Qin Shiqing is my roommate, how could you even think of something so shameless?"
Yan Qiuwen pouted, looking nothing like her usual aloof goddess self, and she had a lot to say.
After scolding, she dejectedly added, "But I still agreed to it!"
"Fine, I’ll admit I also see you as a guinea pig and a tool. The notebook you almost peeked at is my research topic, focused on your behavioral psychology."
"Individuals like you are so rare, interesting, and have great academic research value."
"You don’t have to sneak a peek; just look if you want. It’s nothing shameful, since we’ve already reached an agreement, right?"
