Chapter 4 We Got to Sleep
Chapter 4 We Got to Sleep
Headache.
Liu Zimu opened his eyes and saw a ceiling that was both strange and familiar.
It took me two seconds to realize what was happening.
This is the apartment above the original owner's coffee shop.
It really is time travel.
Then a sense of relief rose within me.
There are people around.
It has temperature.
There are breathing sounds.
The smell of alcohol and perfume.
He slowly turned his head.
He then saw Choi Sulli lying next to him.
Oh, what a tragedy!
Her red coat was long gone, her black tank top was wrinkled, and her hair was scattered on the pillow like a wilting flower.
She was sleeping soundly and peacefully, her mouth slightly open.
His makeup was a mess, his eyeliner was smudged and bluish-black, as if he had been punched twice.
But she's still very beautiful, so beautiful it makes your heart race.
It has a bit of a Latin American feel to it.
Liu Zimu's heart did indeed race.
Then he looked down at himself.
The clothes are still there, the pants are still there, the shoes were kicked off at some point, but the socks are still there.
He looked at Choi Sulli again and breathed a sigh of relief.
Didn't this woman throw her into the guest room last night?
......
Last night, after leaving the police station, Choi Sulli drove him to go drinking.
She really drank a lot, a lot.
First, at a barbecue restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, she ordered soju and drank it bottle after bottle.
He didn't say much while drinking; he just smiled at me.
His laughter made him feel uneasy.
She propped her chin up and looked at him, saying, "I'm already full just looking at you, and I can't let you get away."
Liu Zimu also drank a lot.
He needs alcohol.
Lots and lots of alcohol.
Because his brain is full of mush.
Transmigrating, a system, Choi Sulli awakens her memories and sits opposite him drinking.
Then we went to a bar in Hongdae.
VIP private room.
She switched to foreign liquor, mixed it with a soft drink, and drank it even faster.
Liu Zimu couldn't stop him, and he didn't want to anymore.
Because he himself had drunk quite a bit.
Encouraged by alcohol, he began asking questions he wouldn't dare ask when he was sober.
He remembered her saying, "I've died once, so dying is nothing special, much easier than living."
After Liu Zimu fell silent, the two began to drink.
I remember one scene.
She said, "I want to experience all the suffering I never suffered in my past life, curse all the people I never cursed, and sleep with all the people I never slept with..."
He interrupted her, saying, "You've had too much to drink."
Choi Sulli stared at him for several seconds, then laughed and said, "You chickened out."
She even reached out and pinched his chin.
Finally, there's the convenience store not far downstairs.
Sulli insisted on eating ramen, so the two of them sat at the door, each with a bowl of Shin Ramyun.
She started crying as she was eating.
It wasn't the kind of loud, wailing crying; it was tears falling silently into the noodle soup.
Then she got completely drunk.
She couldn't even stand up straight; she was hanging on him.
Then he carried her home on his back.
Choi Sulli lay on his back, muttering something under her breath.
"Oppa, I'm so cold."
"I hate this world."
More often than not, it was just a string of incomprehensible nonsense.
Occasionally, he would sing a couple of lines, the kind of lyrical songs, but he was completely off-key.
Liu Zimu carried her on his back as they walked through the streets of Seoul in the early hours of the morning.
The streetlights cast long shadows of the two people.
He was actually quite drunk, but he still staggered and carried her home.
Carrying this person on my back, next year should have been cold.
But it's hot now.
It's still very hot.
When they arrived at the apartment, he placed Choi Sulli on the bed in the guest room.
Her clothes reeked of alcohol, her makeup was ruined, and her hair was a mess.
Liu Zimu washed a hot towel and wanted to wipe her face.
But as soon as he touched her face, Choi Sulli suddenly opened her eyes.
His eyes were unfocused, but his hands were very strong.
She grabbed his wrist.
"Oppa".
"Don't move, let me go."
"Do you want to sleep with me?"
"...I wanted to wipe your face."
"You're lying." She laughed, a laugh like a vixen. "You just want to sleep with me."
Liu Zimu took a deep breath: "Cui Zhenli, you've had too much to drink. Go to sleep."
"I don't want to sleep." She held onto his hand tightly. "I want to sleep with you."
Then she hugged him tightly, her voice soft: "Oppa."
Actually, I'm very scared.
That sentence froze him.
She felt really helpless.
This world is beautiful, but it belongs only to those who are happy.
But this world is also a mess.
"I'm afraid I'll wake up tomorrow and find that it was all a dream." She cried again. "I'm afraid I'll still be that Choi Sulli who will die. And I'm afraid you'll disappear tomorrow."
Liu Zimu's heart suddenly ached.
He still held her close and patted her back.
"I won't disappear. My coffee shop is right next to your Truth Shop; you can run away, but you can't hide."
Choi Sulli paused for a moment, then smiled.
She laughed very softly, as if afraid of disturbing her dream.
"Besides," Liu Zimu paused, "you were having a great time today, weren't you? Drinking, singing, and swearing."
Did I swear?
"You insulted several people, including Teacher Li from your company."
"So," Liu Zimu said, his head spinning, "you just live like this. Drink when you want to drink, curse when you want to curse."
"And what about you?"
"What about me?"
Will you always be by my side?
Liu Zimu remained silent for a few seconds.
He didn't know how to answer that question.
He's a time traveler, he has a system, but his feelings for Choi Sulli aren't yet at the point where he can make a promise to her.
Liu Zimu ultimately did not answer.
Sulli didn't say anything either.
After a long time, she turned over, covered herself with the blanket, and turned her back to him.
"Oppa".
"Um."
"You're a good person. I know you're a fan of Joo-hyun unnie, but I'm going to steal you away."
Liu Zimu: "..."
Then she stopped talking.
Her breathing gradually calmed down, and she fell asleep.
Liu Zimu helped her cover herself with the blanket again before returning to his own room.
Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind was a jumbled mess.
He thought about it a lot.
He wondered why he had transmigrated, when that damn system would ring again, and so on...
But what I think about most is what Choi Sulli said.
"I'm scared."
Even someone who has died once is still afraid.
This world is a mess.
On the Peninsula, these female celebrities appear glamorous on the surface, but their true nature is so heartbreaking!
Then he fell asleep.
Nothing happened.
......
But at this moment, Liu Zimu looked at Cui Xueli sleeping soundly beside him and sighed.
He didn't know when this person arrived.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
It's not because he wasn't interested.
It's because she was drunk.
It's because she's not in a good state.
It's because...
Forget it, I won't make excuses anymore.
He's just a coward.
"System?" he murmured to himself.
no response.
"Aren't there any other rewards? They activated it yesterday and then just left it at that?"
Still no response.
Liu Zimu sighed.
This golden finger is even harder to please than his ex-girlfriend.
A soft hum came from beside me.
Choi Sulli rolled over, putting one leg on top of him, and mumbled, "Oppa, don't go..."
Liu Zimu froze.
Move her legs away.
But then she reached out again.
He moved aside, then got up to wash up; he still had to open the shop!
Suddenly, Choi Sulli's phone rang. She groggily got up and answered, "Jungsoo oppa..."
"Sherry, look at the time! We have events and recordings today, where have you been?"
Choi Sulli sat up abruptly and looked around.
An unfamiliar room, and Liu Zimu, who was brushing his teeth and staring at her blankly.
She suddenly laughed: "I'll go myself, and I'll have Yoonjin unnie bring my clothes."
Park Jung-soo was speechless: "By the way, did you go to the police station last night and settle things with that bastard?"
Choi Sulli glanced at herself, a sly glint in her eyes: "That's right! Also, I slept with him last night."
Park Jung-soo cursed, and Choi Sulli hung up on him.
Looking at Cui Xueli's smug expression, Liu Zimu said, "Cui Xueli, are you repaying kindness with enmity?"
