Intoxicated Chapter 12

Shen Tingwei was still feverish and had no strength after showering. Lian Jue wasn’t that leisure to carry him upstairs, so he simply left Shen Tingwei on the guest room’s bed on the first floor.

Shen Tingwei felt his eyelids were heavy. He soon fell asleep after he rested his head on the pillow.

Lian Jue yanked the cover out from under him, and Shen Tingwei’s skin rubbed against it, turning his smooth and lean back red.

Shen Tingwei was brought up along with Lian Jue’s actions. Maybe because he was in an uncomfortable position, so his brow involuntarily furrowed even more while sleeping. He turned sideways, then he slowly curled up his back and a pair of lean and slender legs. His hand that was resting on the pillow was also unconsciously clenched. His posture looked very awkward and insecure.

Lian Jue covered the blanket on top of him and habitually tucked his arm back into the blanket. When Lian Jue did this, Shen Tingwei was stunned and shrunk down his body. He buried most of his face into the snow-white blanket, leaving only a pair of thick black thick eyelashes outside. It seemed he was sleepy, so his furrowed brows gently became loose.

While he was drowsy from his sleepiness, someone stuffed something into him while he was half asleep.

Shen Tingwei opened his eyes with difficulty and glanced around. The lights in the room weren’t turned on, so he wasn’t sure whether the curtains were just drawn or the sky was still dark. In his blurry sight, a tall black shadow appeared.

The warm palm touching his forehead left. The man stood up and unenthusiastically said “go to sleep”, turned around, and left without looking back at him.

Although his family conditions weren’t bad, and his life wasn’t too tight on weekdays, but a sweater worth tens of thousands of dollars was too extravagant for him.

He hesitated for a long time before he picked up the clothes.

While he was changing clothes, another knock came from the door. He put on his sweater and said he understood.

With some embarrassment, the person outside urged him. “Please hurry up a bit.”

The clothes fit better than yesterday. Shen Tingwei got dressed and came out of the room. A woman who seemed to be under 40 years old was pacing anxiously in front of the door with an infrared thermometer. When she saw him come out, she hurriedly came over. Before Shen Tingwei could respond, the thermometer in her hand was already aimed at his forehead and made a ‘di’ sound.

Shen Tingwei was stunned for a bit. The woman lowered her head and took out her mobile phone to take a picture of the number displayed on the thermometer. It was unknown who she sent WeChat to, but a voice message came back quickly from the other side of the phone— it was Lian Jue’s voice.

“En, have him retake it with a mercury thermometer.”

The woman sighed, then replied she understood. After that, she explained it to Shen Tingwei embarrassedly. “Mr. Lian instructed before he left that your temperature must be taken before 8 in the morning. Mr. Lian will be in a meeting later.”

Shen Tingwei nodded and asked her again. “…That…did Mr. Lian come to my room this morning?”

“Oh, Mr. Lian took your temperature once before he left, but you were still slightly feverish at that time.” She handed the infrared temperature in her hand to Shen Tingwei, allowing him to see it for himself. “The temperature should have gone down now. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If not, we may need to go to the hospital at 9 AM.”

Shen Tingwei shook his head. “I don’t.”

“Breakfast has been prepared, have something to eat first.” The woman said, “I’m going to get a thermometer. You may have to take your temperature again…sometimes the isn’t very accurate.”

“Okay, thank you.”

While having breakfast, Shen Tingwei spent nearly half an hour figuring out the situation here under the other party’s strange gaze.

The reality was obviously worse than he imagined.

That car accident… He should have come here after the car accident.

The word “time travel” was too distant for him. When he was in junior high school, he circulated several popular transmigration novels with his classmates. However, those dazzling web novels were limited to the protagonist’s transmigration into different eras.

Like this current situation…

Shen Tingwei glanced down at the dinner plate in front of him. The environment he was currently in seemed to be no different from his previous world, but it was completely different.

This was a society with only two genders, male and female. The people here wouldn’t go through differentiation and there was no complicated secondary gender. Not only alphas could be called leaders, but they also didn’t rely on omegas for reproduction. He was like a strange outsider, out of the loop with the whole world.

For a moment, Shen Tingwei even wondered if the popular and tricky online program had set up a special reality show for betas some time ago—

The topic of beta’s call had been a hot topic over the years. In such an era of entertainment, there was nothing that some unscrupulous film crews who had no bottom line couldn’t do in order to gain attention.

But…

Shen Tingwei’s back was aching thus he had difficulty keeping his lower back straight. He leaned back slightly against the soft back of the chair, then stared at the intricate patterns on the dinner plate in front of him. He clenched his hands under the table until his fingertips turned numb.

He quickly dismissed this idea— no one would go to such lengths for a… R18 show.

So, is he now dead now?

“How are you, Mr. Shen? Mr. Shen?”

When she saw that he was silent, the woman looked at him strangely. She bent over and took away the knife and fork that had fallen on the ground when he was talking, and replaced it with a new one.

Only then did Shen Tingwei regain his senses. He raised his head, said “thank you”, and continued to absentmindedly cut the meal package in front of him.

Before he could continue to think, a car drove in from the yard. The woman got up and went out to see— it was the driver that Shen Tingwei had seen last time.

“Mr. Shen, Chief Lian sent me to take you back.”

After the morning meeting ended, Lian Jue called the driver back to ask about the situation as he missed the call.

Lian Jue’s eyes sank as he listened to the driver stammer while reporting. “Can’t find it?”

The other party sounded a little embarrassed over the phone and said that Shen Tingwei was hesitant to tell his address. The driver was silent for a while before he hesitantly said to Lian Jue. “Mr. Lian, Mr. Shen, he’s… a little strange.”

“What’s the problem?”

“In the beginning, Mr. Shen said an address, but I checked it and it didn’t seem to be in the city. I wanted to ask again, but Mr. Shen refused to answer. He said he couldn’t remember where he lived. I was helpless so I searched again but nationwide according to the address that Mr. Shen said in the beginning… but I couldn’t find that place.”

Lian Jue said indifferently, “Send him to a mental hospital.”
