I'm In Charge of SCP

Chapter 46 "Donation"

When Zhang Jue woke up, it was already late afternoon. The afterglow of the setting sun spilled through the window onto the ground shines a golden yellow. He looked around and realized that he was lying on the sofa in the VIP room of Jiangzhou University, draped in Yang Xue's jacket. He sat up and rubbed his swollen neck.

"Wake already?"

Yang Xue's slightly surprised voice came. She had been by Zhang Jue's side since he had fallen asleep from too much exhaustion. Seeing that it was getting dark, she had was about to borrow a blanket, but who knew that Zhang Jue would wake up in a short amount of time.

Yang Xue poured a glass of water for him. Zhang Jue gulped it all down, looking thirsty.

"Slow down." Yang Xue poured him another glass, "How are you feeling? Still tired?"

There was nothing to be pretentious about with Yang Xue. Zhang Jue nodded, "I'm not tired. Just a little dizzy."

The use of the ability was a total consumption of physical and mental strength. His physical strength was fine, but his mental strength was not adequately trained. Something that was a little bit hard to do.

Yang Xue knew that Zhang Jue was not the kind of person who would easily show his weaknesses, and if he told her the truth, it means that he had completely trusted her and told her the truth. If she hadn't requested Zhang Jue to let those students finish the performance, Zhang Jue wouldn't have fainted from exhaustion. Yang Xue blames herself regarding this situation.

For a moment, she was contemplating herself and said, "Would you like to bring me a compress for your head?" Yang Xue's cheeks were slightly red, and there was an indescribable beauty under the mapping of the setting sun.

Zhang Jue rarely did not tease her and tilted his head, "Sure."

Zhang Jue lay on Yang Xue's lap. His mind was completely empty, without a single thought. Yang Xue's cold fingers were placed on his temples, gently rubbing them. The surrounding silence, it seems that time was frozen at this moment.

Suddenly, the sun was setting and went completely dark.

A knock can be heard from the door, and Vice President Zhang's voice came, "Hey, you two. Are you guys awake yet? the dinner is about to start."

Originally, Zhang Jue and Yang Xue had not planned to attend the dinner party here. But knowing Zhang Jue's current condition, their plan was interrupted.

Zhang Jue replied, "Got it, you can go there first. We'll catch up to you later."

The charity dinner was held at the Jiangzhou Hotel across the street from the university's gate. With the guidance from President Bai and Minister Qiu, Vice President Zhang understands Zhang Jue's role for Jiangzhou City. Zhang Jue might be unaware of it, and he didn't dare to go against Zhang Jue's wishes, so he could only tell them about the dinner party and then rush back to continue his duties.

Yang Xue compressed Zhang Jue for a little bit longer and waited until Zhang Jue let out a contented sigh before the two of them went downstairs and went to the party.

The time was 7:00 PM, and the lamplights were on.

Zhang Jue and Yang Xue arrived at the Jiangzhou Hotel. It was clearly past the schedule, but the banquet seemed to have not yet officially started. The guests were gathered in twos and threes, drinking and chatting inside the hall.

Although it was strange, Zhang Jue, who had returned to normal, grabbed the cupcakes on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. His mental exhaustion had gotten a lot better, but he was obviously hungrier than usual.
