The next morning, soft sunlight shone through the thin curtains onto the bed, and Qiao Jingyu slowly woke up. She sat up in a daze, and felt her head was very dizzy, as if it was filled with lead. She subconsciously raised her hand and gently patted her dizzy head, trying to wake herself up. Then, she stretched her body like a lazy cat. After slowly opening her eyes, she began to look around at the unfamiliar environment.

In an instant, she was completely awake, with countless big question marks in her mind. Where on earth is this? How did I end up here? She tried to recall what happened last night. She clearly remembered that she should still be missing someone! Moreover, it seemed that Principal Shen said he would send her home... Could this be Principal Shen's home?

As Qiao Jingyu thought about it, she unconsciously reached out and scratched her slightly messy long hair. However, no matter how hard she racked her brains to recall, she could not remember how she came to this place.

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door, and then a familiar voice came into her ears: "Jingyu, are you awake?"

Hearing this voice, Qiao Jingyu's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of astonishment. This... isn't this Duan Yuchen's voice? But, how is it possible? Could it be that this is his home? With a heart full of doubts and puzzlement, Qiao Jingyu looked around the room again. However, this is obviously not Cui Yu Mansion. Did I really just hear it wrong? But that voice really sounded too much like Duan Yuchen, exactly the same!

When Qiao Jingyu was still thinking about every detail of last night, her thoughts were like a tangled mess, and she couldn't figure it out. She tried hard to piece together those fragmented memories, to figure out how she came to this strange place, and where this place was. However, just as she was thinking deeply, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open by someone from the outside.

A tall, slender, and elegant figure appeared at the door, just like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, instantly illuminating the entire room. Upon closer inspection, this person turned out to be Duan Yuchen! His handsome face and deep eyes made people fall in love with him.

"Duan... Mr. Duan..." Qiao Jingyu stuttered, her heart full of surprise and confusion.

Duan Yuchen smiled slightly, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Hurry up and wash up and have breakfast, otherwise you will be late for school." His tone was so natural, as if such a scene had happened countless times, which made Qiao Jingyu have an illusion that he came here on purpose to wake her up.

"Oh..." Qiao Jingyu nodded subconsciously and responded, still a little confused. Then, Duan Yuchen gently closed the door and turned away. Qiao Jingyu was left alone in the room, still in a daze. After a long while, she gradually came to her senses and walked towards the bathroom as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Walking into the spacious and bright bathroom, Qiao Jingyu gently closed the door and slowly walked to the huge mirror. She stood quietly, staring at herself in the mirror with focused eyes. Then, she stretched out her hands, picked up the toothbrush beside her, squeezed a proper amount of toothpaste on it, and began to brush her teeth carefully and seriously.

When she raised her head and her eyes met her own reflection in the mirror, she suddenly noticed something strange. Her rosy lips were slightly swollen, as if they had been bitten by something. She couldn't help but frown, her heart filled with doubts and worries.

Qiao Jingyu hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but stretched out her right index finger and carefully touched the swollen lips. "What on earth is going on?" She murmured to herself, quickly recalling what happened yesterday.

Could it be that I accidentally fell down after getting drunk yesterday?

Just like that, Qiao Jingyu stood in front of the mirror and racked her brains for a long time, but still got nothing, no impression at all. Helplessly, she could only give up thinking about this problem temporarily and turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

When she went down the stairs, Qiao Jingyu was still in a heavy mood, her mind full of the mystery of her swollen lips. When she finally arrived at the restaurant and saw Duan Yuchen sitting at the dining table, she forced a polite smile on her face and said, "Mr. Duan, good morning!"

Hearing the voice, Duan Yuchen raised his head, smiled slightly, and responded: "Come and sit down to eat!" His voice was low and magnetic, making people feel particularly comfortable.

Qiao Jingyu nodded, walked quickly to Duan Yuchen and sat down. At this moment, she noticed that a sumptuous breakfast was already placed on the table - a cup of steaming milk and an exquisite sandwich. However, at this moment, she had no intention of tasting these delicacies, but subconsciously bit her slightly swollen lips again, and her eyes were always on the elegant Duan Yuchen opposite her, "Mr. Duan, I..."

"Have breakfast first, or you'll be late for school. Let's talk on the way."

"Okay..." Qiao Jingyu started to eat breakfast obediently.

After breakfast, when Duan Yuchen and Qiao Jingyu came out, Feng Bo was already waiting at the door.

In the car, Qiao Jingyu sat quietly beside Duan Yuchen. At this moment, her mind was like a mess of woolen yarn, in disarray. She knew that he already had someone he liked, and she had warned herself that she must keep a distance from him. However, after just a few days, not only did she fail to distance herself from him, but she ran to his house to spend the night again. This situation made Qiao Jingyu feel extremely depressed and confused, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.

After careful consideration, Qiao Jingyu couldn't suppress her curiosity. She carefully turned her head and asked in a voice not much louder than a mosquito's hum: "Mr. Duan, may I ask...how did I meet you last night?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yuchen simply uttered three words: "Taste of lovesickness!" His tone was as concise as a solitary leaf falling in late autumn.

"Oh!" Qiao Jingyu nodded thoughtfully, then blinked her big, lively eyes and asked, "Then why did I go to your house?"

At this moment, Duan Yuchen suddenly showed a barely perceptible smile on his face, as if he was thinking of something that made him happy. "You told me at the time that I was very handsome, and you felt very familiar with me, so you insisted on following me."

Hearing this, Feng Bo, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, couldn't help but secretly complain: "Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan, is it really appropriate for you to deceive such a simple girl like this? It was obviously you who was worried that she would be unsafe alone, so you specifically asked me to bring her back!"
