Revenge Sevenfold
Chapter 103 He Dared!

After taking a warm bath, Hui Yin finally felt refreshed.

She went into her balcony and watched the snowy white puppy chase its own tail across the tennis court for a while.

"Did Lu Shen even give him a name? Or is this puppy even a 'he'?"

She drew her cardigan closer to her body. The weather was starting to get colder, especially at night. Hui Yin cupped her hands and blew on them.

After a while, she began to shiver, so she returned back to her room. She switched off the lights aside from her lamp and retired to her bed with her script for Gao Mei.

Gao Mei was a character that was easy to understand. She became a trainee at a young age because of her looks, so she was often bullied by jealous girls in her school. This made her personality become shy, which greatly limited her talent.

Although she was ahead of most trainees in her agency in terms of seniority, Gao Mei still hadn't debuted because she wasn't willing to take risks.

Finally, her best friend Chen Lin managed to successfully convince Gao Mei. They were about to debut as an idol group along with other five girls. When an idol group debuts, each of them were given different personalities created by the company to cater the entertainment market.

Each member of an idol group has her own character to portray, and each of them has to successfully woo over the public with that given personality.

Unluckily for Gao Mei, she was the 'visual'.

The visual member was the person considered to be the most attractive in the group. She would often be hired to endorse products and appear in commercials and ads.

Considering Gao Mei's trauma, using her looks to appeal to the public was something that she would replace a hard time accepting.

"Poor girl," Hui Yin sighed, putting down the script on her bedside table. "We're living in a lookism society. There will certainly be people hating you for the advantages that you get."

Hui Yin reached up and clicked off the lamp. Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a resounding crash from downstairs jolted her awake.

Hui Yin immediately grabbed her lamp.

A thief? Did a thief get in?

Although the maids had taken their day off, the guards still surrounded the perimeter of the villa. No ordinary thief could get past that.

Then, did the heavy chandelier in the living room finally collapse? Hui Yin was always wary of chandeliers. They were only hanging from the ceiling by a chain, and it seemed to her that the chain could break at any moment.

But in the next second, Hui Yin finally got an answer.

Her bedroom door opened, revealing a very disheveled, very graceless, and very...drunk Lu Shen.

Hui Yin readied her lamp and practiced swinging it a few times. Okay, she could do this. Aim either at the head or below, and fervently hope that she wouldn't accidentally kill a CEO.

If worse comes to worst, she could just claim to have done it under self-defense.

But Hui Yin needn't have worried. Lu Shen had barely opened the door when he tripped on his own feet and fell face first onto the floor.

"Pffft!"

Hui Yin clapped a hand to her mouth, afraid that he might have heard her. But no, the man was still out cold. Just how much red wine did this tyrant drink?

Cigarettes and now alcohol...he was going down into a very bad path.

Hui Yin lowered her lamp, since it seemed that Lu Shen could barely move, much less attack her.

Contemplating his prone form for a bit, she finally sighed and moved forward to help him get up.

She couldn't sleep with his body lying only a foot away from her bed anyway.

Hui Yin prodded his body with her sock-covered foot, trying to wake him up. But Lu Shen remained unresponsive.

"So burdensome!"

Finally, she pulled on his arm and tried to drag him upwards. But although trim and athletic, his body was still heavy for her to bear. Hui Yin nearly lost her balance before she found her footing.

"Just get to the door..." she grunted, wishing she could just get this over with.

His eyes suddenly opened, and he focused on her with great difficulty.

"Xiao Yin..."

Before Hui Yin could curse out loud, his arm wrapped around her slender waist and picked her up as if she weighed no more than a paperweight. Both of their bodies fell on the bed, their legs tangled together.

Lu Shen's body pressed against hers, and Hui Yin could smell the faint scent of tobacco and alcohol on his body.

"Xiao Yin..." he murmured her name yet again.

He tried to kiss her, but Hui Yin slapped her hand over his mouth.

Kissing her after kissing Nian Zhen?

He dared! He actually dared!

Now, where was her lamp?
