"Friend?"
"Yeah, she's a decisive, proactive, hardworking, and reliable person. I'm sure you two will get along great. Oh, right, her name is Keqing."
Chapter 40: Let Me Help You Rest for a Bit
"Cheers!"
After a few glasses of wine, Ye Ming took a breath, his body starting to heat up as the fiery liquid went down.
"Don't just drink! Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for you. Here, have some food."
Keqing, all smiles, placed two helpings of food into Ye Ming's plate. "The chive sea bass and stir-fried kidney here are amazing! Try it and see if you like it."
Unable to refuse her kindness, Ye Ming took a couple of bites and nodded in satisfaction, praising, "Mm, the taste is indeed good. But isn't this place called Cat House Western Restaurant? How come they're selling stir-fry dishes?"
"Maybe because Chinese food sells better."
Keqing pointed to the nearby tables. "Look, everyone who comes here eats Chinese food."
Ye Ming looked in the direction Keqing was pointing and found that the nearby tables were indeed full of people eating Chinese food.
"That's pretty interesting."
Ye Ming found it quite amusing. He retracted his gaze, took off his suit jacket, and picked up two more pieces of fish, unbuttoning the top button of his shirt as he ate, wondering, "Why is the air conditioning set so high in this place?"
Keqing's lips curled slightly, feigning surprise. "Oh? Really? I think it's fine. Are you drunk?"
"Impossible! It's only been three glasses. How could I be drunk?"
Ye Ming retorted. After years of working in the workplace, he was very clear about his alcohol tolerance. Although he didn't usually like to drink, he could handle about half a pound of 40% alcohol for work occasions. He had only had three small cups of this wine, so there was no way he could be drunk.
Unless Keqing had ordered a very high-proof liquor.
But if this wine really had such a high alcohol content, then if Ye Ming couldn't handle it, Keqing, as a girl, definitely wouldn't be able to handle it either.
Moreover, from another perspective, Ye Ming's thoughts were still so clear and organized at this moment, didn't that further prove that he wasn't drunk?
"But speaking of which, what kind of wine is this? I've never seen it before. It tastes pretty good."
Ye Ming curiously picked up the wine bottle and looked at it, discovering that he didn't recognize the writing on the bottle at all, not knowing if it was French or some other language.
"I'm not too sure either. It seems to be imported from France. It's my first time drinking it too."
Keqing said with an innocent face, "Since you think it tastes good, drink more. Anyway, Coco is here, so you don't have to worry about driving."
As she spoke, Keqing enthusiastically pushed the plates of stir-fried kidney and chive sea bass toward Ye Ming. "The food is also very delicious. Eat more."
"Thank you, you eat too."
Ye Ming pushed the food back towards Keqing, ate two pieces of kidney, and took a sip of wine. The liquid entered his stomach like a warm current, warming his entire body and making him extremely comfortable.
Ye Ming unbuttoned another button, gently exhaled, and swept his gaze around the restaurant, finally stopping on Keqing as if by some strange force.
Today, Keqing was wearing a silver-gray professional suit dress, capable and dignified. Her delicate, fair, and pretty face looked slightly young, her gorgeous purple hair draped behind her, her eyes wearing beautiful purple colored contacts. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her nose delicate, her red lips tender, complementing her dignified and capable attire, creating a captivating and wonderful charm.
She wore a fitted suit jacket, a V-neckline revealing the white shirt inside, her waist slender, her chest unexpectedly round and full. Her lower body was a gray straight skirt, black sheer pantyhose, and silver stiletto heels, her legs shapely and slender, incredibly attractive, making it hard for anyone to look away.
Perhaps sensing Ye Ming's gaze, Keqing shyly turned her head, flicking her hair behind her ear, revealing her slender, snow-white neck, the lustrous and delicate skin flushed with an alluring blush.
Keqing's actions startled Ye Ming, and he hurriedly retracted his gaze, feeling his mouth dry and instinctively picking up his wine glass to drink it all in one gulp.
The wine entered his stomach, and the warmth intensified.
Ye Ming breathed out, feeling that even the air he exhaled was hot. He instinctively wanted to eat something cool, so he picked up his chopsticks and hesitated slightly.
He didn't dare to eat the kidney or chive sea bass, so he shook the chopsticks and simply picked up two pieces of bitter gourd.
The heat-relieving and detoxifying bitter gourd entered his mouth, and his mind immediately cleared, finally relieving Ye Ming.
But just then, Keqing suddenly stood up, bent down, reached out, and placed her hand on Ye Ming's forehead to test it.
"Are you okay? Why is your face so red?"
Keqing looked concerned, but she didn't seem to notice that her V-neckline was facing Ye Ming.
The girl's snowy, warm hand was pressed against his forehead, her delicate red lips were close at hand. Because they were so close, Ye Ming could even feel the girl's moist breath and the charming fragrance on her body. Ye Ming took a deep breath, brushed away the girl's hand, and shook his head vigorously.
"I'm fine, maybe I really am a little drunk, let's call it a day."
At this moment, Ye Ming finally felt that his condition was a little off. Not wanting to continue and make a mistake, he simply admitted defeat and said goodbye, saying as he stood up, "Sorry, I'm not feeling well, I'll go first... Ah!"
Because his mental state wasn't very good, Ye Ming, a little dazed, accidentally knocked the chopsticks to the ground when he stood up. He quickly bent down to pick them up, but as he bent down, he froze again.
Under the table, Keqing's black silk-clad legs under her gray narrow skirt were smooth and rounded, radiating a delicate soft light. The black sheer pantyhose were light and transparent, setting off the skin of her thighs, making them even more fair and jade-like.
Ye Ming only felt his mouth dry and his heart beat faster. He used a great deal of willpower to move his gaze to the chopsticks next to Keqing's silver stiletto heels, reaching out to pick up the chopsticks.
But when he stood up, he didn't know why, but the hand holding the table suddenly went numb as if it had been electrocuted. Ye Ming couldn't help but stagger, his hand touching Keqing's thigh.
Stimulated, the muscles on Keqing's thigh twitched as if in a spasm, the reaction was very strong, and even her breathing became rapid, making Ye Ming even more thirsty.
Ye Ming stood up, put the chopsticks on the table, and shook his head vigorously, feeling his mouth dry and the air he breathed was extremely hot, his brain reacting sluggishly as if it were rusty.
Damn it, I'm afraid I'm really drunk!
Ye Ming's heart sank. He wanted to go home, but in this state, he felt that going home would have a bad influence on Laffey, and he hesitated for a moment.
Just then, Keqing spoke up at the perfect moment, suggesting, "You seem a bit drunk. How about getting a room at a nearby hotel to rest for a while? There are a few hotels around here."
"Really? That would be great."
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, I'm sorry, I'll head off first."
"Wait, you're not in a good state to be alone. Let me take you there," Keqing offered helpfully.
"Then I'll trouble you."
With his mind muddled, Ye Ming didn't refuse Keqing's kindness.
"No trouble at all, not at all."
Keqing supported Ye Ming, speaking meaningfully, a hint of a pleasant smile curving at the corner of her lips.

Chapter 41: Keqing Locks the Door
Stepping out of the restaurant, the cold wind hit him, instantly clearing Ye Ming's head a bit.
He glanced at Keqing, who was diligently supporting him.
Perhaps due to a lack of exercise, the delicate and weak girl had very little strength. It was difficult to support Ye Ming's body with just her hands, so she had to stick close to Ye Ming, using all her strength to barely hold him up.
The amazing elasticity of the girl's chest rubbed against Ye Ming's elbow. Ye Ming could even feel the astonishing heat behind the thin shirt. For some reason, Ye Ming felt a surge of heat rising from within him, and he couldn't control his body.
Ye Ming took a deep breath, broke free from the girl's hands, and shook his head vigorously.
It was April, and the outdoor weather was still a bit cold. Ye Ming, wearing only a shirt, was blown by the cold wind for a while, and his mind cleared up a lot, barely regaining his ability to think. He could walk on his own without any problem, but for some reason, the restless fire in his body was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't suppress it.
As expected, it's been too long since I've engaged in self-generation?
Ye Ming sighed helplessly.
Speaking of which, he had been busy with work during the day and addicted to games at night recently, and he had rarely even read novels. It had been at least half a year since he had engaged in manual labor.
As the saying goes, when essence is full, it overflows. As a healthy adult male, too much energy always needs a channel for release.
Especially after Fu Hua came these past two days, although Ye Ming said things like "Fu Hua is flat" and "As long as I have Laffey, that's enough," he had to admit that Fu Hua was a very beautiful girl. She didn't deliberately guard against Ye Ming when washing up or sleeping, allowing Ye Ming to enjoy a lot of benefits. In addition, Fu Hua proposed to him as soon as they met. As a normal person, it was inevitable that Ye Ming would be a little distracted.
The accumulation of the past, triggered by today's drunkenness and accidental touch, made Ye Ming a little unable to suppress it.
But reason still prevailed, and Ye Ming was still very clear about what he should do.
"I'm sorry, Keqing, I'm really not in a good state today, I've made you laugh."
Ye Ming broke free from Keqing's hands and forced a smile, "I'm much better now. I can go to the hotel myself, so I won't trouble you. If there's nothing else, you can go back and get busy. I'll be fine."
After speaking, he sincerely apologized for touching her thigh earlier, "I'm really sorry about what happened just now. Thank you for not holding it against me and helping me out."
Faced with Ye Ming's apology, Keqing seemed a little surprised, widened her eyes and looked at Ye Ming for a while before responding, "It's okay, it was just an accident, I wouldn't hold such a small thing against you."
Saying so, Keqing was wondering in her heart.
That shouldn't be. So much time has passed, even if he only drank one glass, he should be out of it by now. How can he still stand and talk after drinking more than half a bottle? Did I use too little of the drug?
That's not right either. I poured all the drug I had into it. Did the drug expire?
Keqing was shocked and uncertain, and a terrible guess suddenly arose in her heart.
Could it be, could it be that there's something wrong with his body?
No way!?
Keqing was startled by her own guess.
