This night was peculiar for Qin Mu.
His head was spinning, and he was completely immobilized, as if something was pressing down on him, like sleep paralysis. He felt utterly listless, but two faint, pleasant fragrances filled his nostrils.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly felt relaxed, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.
While he slept, Zhao Yanan and Tian Weiwei sat in the living room, enjoying a late-night snack.
"So tiring!"
Zhao Yanan took a bite of barbecue and said, "Why haven't I felt this tired before?"
"Consider it exercise."
Tian Weiwei, radiant and full of energy, said, "I'm curious, isn't it said that drinking alcohol puts the body into a resting state? How come this kid is different from ordinary people?"
"Don't you know who he is!"
Zhao Yanan chuckled, "His physical condition can't be judged by ordinary standards!"
"You're right."
Tian Weiwei nodded in agreement.
After finishing their late-night snack, the two finally fell asleep.
When Qin Mu woke up, he was incredibly tired. His head ached, and his whole body ached terribly; he felt utterly exhausted.
Wait a minute!
Didn't he get drunk last night, which caused his headache?
Why is his whole body aching now?
Can drinking really cause such body aches?
This is too strange.
"You're awake?"
Just as he was about to get out of bed, Tian Weiwei pushed open the door from the outside and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Does your head hurt? I made you some porridge, have some to tide you over!"
"It hurts a little."
Qin Mu nodded and said, "Last night we only drank alcohol, we didn't do anything else, right? Why does my whole body hurt?"
Uh…
Asking me?
Tian Weiwei felt a pang of guilt. Could she really tell him something like this?
"You'll have to ask Yanan. I don't know anything about it."
Tian Weiwei didn't hesitate at all and pushed Zhao Yanan out. Anyway, Zhao Yanan and Qin Mu were a couple, so whatever they did wasn't surprising.
Yanan?
Qin Mu pondered for a moment. Could it be that Zhao Yanan had done something else with him last night?
"Okay then, I'll ask her later."
Qin Mu didn't think much of it, stood up and went out. He quickly washed up, ate some breakfast, and then prepared to leave.
"Hey... your skin looks better!"
Before leaving, Qin Mu looked at Tian Weiwei's complexion and asked curiously, "You drank so much last night, but you're not tired at all; on the contrary, you seem to be getting better and better! It's amazing!"
This...
Tian Weiwei's face turned slightly awkward!
Only she knew that her good complexion was due to a special reason. For a woman's skin, besides skincare, normal hormone secretion is crucial.
Before this, Tian Weiwei's skin was actually just average, but after last night... with her hormone secretion normalized, it naturally improved.
"Maybe I used new skincare products, and my skin is benefiting from them!"
Tian Weiwei blushed and made up an excuse to brush it off.
Is that so?
Qin Mu didn't ask any further questions and immediately took his leave.
"Finally gone!"
Tian Weiwei felt a bit pressured in Qin Mu's presence, especially when he looked at her with those eyes; she always had the feeling that a secret was about to be exposed.
Luckily!
She'd managed to get away with it today.
She immediately called Zhao Yanan and briefly recounted what had just happened.
"Damn, you just dumped the blame on me like that?"
Zhao Yanan was speechless. Her best friend, who hadn't spent more time with her last night when they were having fun, was now incredibly quick to shift the blame.
"How can you call this shifting the blame? You two are a legitimate couple, I'm not. If Qin Mu asks, I can only say it's you."
Tian Weiwei wasn't embarrassed at all, saying, "Just smooth things over, you can definitely handle this little thing!"
"I'm not talking anymore, Qin Mu's call is coming in!"
"Beep beep..."
Zhao Yanan said briefly on the other end and hung up.
Qin Mu was indeed a little confused. On his way to work, he called Zhao Yanan's cell phone, intending to ask what had happened last night.
"Yanan, after I got drunk last night, did you and President Tian take me home?"
Qin Mu cut to the chase and asked directly.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yanan quickly replied, "You drank quite a bit last night, you were really heavy-handed. Luckily Weiwei was there, otherwise I really couldn't have handled it alone!"
"Did nothing else happen last night? I woke up feeling a bit sore all over, and I don't have any energy."
Qin Mu asked again.
This…
Zhao Yanan was silent for a moment, then honestly said, "Well… last night I couldn't resist, while you were asleep… um… I…"
Zhao Yanan's voice was hesitant, quite embarrassed. At this moment, she felt like a little wildcat caught stealing food by its owner.
A touch of shyness!
"I knew it! It was you!"
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this answer and said, "I thought something was wrong with me; I was so tired!"
"You're so inconsiderate! That's President Tian's house. Even though we're a couple, shouldn't we be more mindful? What if we made a noise and woke President Tian up? That would be so embarrassing!"
Uh…
Is this all my fault?
Zhao Yanan thought to herself: What's there to be embarrassed about? Tian Weiwei is overjoyed; she'd love to go to her house every day…
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively. I'll definitely change next time!"
She thought that, but still had to admit her mistake to Qin Mu.
"By the way, that time I was poisoned, it was also at President Tian's house. Did you…"
Qin Mu suddenly remembered what happened last time. Because he had had some strange dreams both last time and last night, it was inevitable that they would connect the dots.
"You were poisoned that time, what could I possibly do!"
Zhao Yanan said earnestly, "Don't overthink it... um... I have something to do, let's talk later!"
"Okay, go ahead and get busy!"
Qin Mu immediately hung up the phone and went into his office. Yanan was right, he was poisoned, what could he possibly do?
He was just overthinking it!
He sat down, drank some water, and prepared to start his work for the day.
"Ring ring..."
Just then, the phone rang, and Qin Mu quickly answered it.
"Qin Mu, this is Chen Wenhua!"
As soon as he answered, the voice of Chen Wenhua, the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, came through.
"Minister Chen, hello!"
Qin Mu quickly asked, "What can I do for you?"
It was early morning, and he was calling right after starting work; it must be something important.
"It's not good. The Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department seems to be forcibly transferring you there."
Chen Wenhua's words made Qin Mu's heart tighten.
