All My Colleagues Are Animals 17

Chapter 17

Ye Qingyu finished pouring Pei Rong’s wine, then drank a glass herself.

Her alcohol tolerance was average, and she rarely drank on weekdays.

Today was the first time she had a guest at home, and with her beautiful boss drinking so boldly before her, she decided to have a small drink to join in the fun.

“Ye Qingyu, why do you have two heads?”

Pei Rong’s voice suddenly sounded.

Compared to her usual lazy and alluring tone, the woman’s voice was now a little lower, with a hazy, raspy quality.

Ye Qingyu’s heart skipped a beat.

She looked up and met Pei Rong’s peach blossom eyes, which were glistening with moisture and filled with a misty haze, holding a mix of bewilderment and pleasure.

Her gaze moved down. The woman’s fair cheeks were flushed with a magnificent crimson that spread all the way down her slender neck.

She seemed to be half-drunk already.

Ye Qingyu was about to speak when her gaze suddenly sharpened, her pupils trembling—

On top of Boss Pei’s reddish-brown hair, a pair of large, snow-white, furry ears had suddenly popped out of thin air. They were shaped like two fluttering butterflies, beautiful and eye-catching.

Like… like… a red panda’s ears.

Ye Qingyu was so stunned she forgot how to breathe. She stood there dumbly for several seconds before slowly lowering her head and vigorously rubbing her eyes.

When she looked up again, a pair of large, furry ears were still perked up on her beautiful boss’s head. Their tips even trembled slightly, as springy as milk pudding.

“!”

Ye Qingyu’s eyes widened, and she shot up from her seat with a swoosh.

Her alcohol tolerance seemed to have plummeted. She was drunk after just one glass.

She seemed to like red pandas too much, to the point where she was starting to fantasize that her boss could grow red panda ears!

“Ngh…” Pei Rong clutched the top of her head and stood up unsteadily, a dazed unease in her peach blossom eyes. “I need to go to the bathroom.”

Her legs were weak as she stood up, and she almost fell to the ground.

“I’ll take you.” Ye Qingyu quickly steadied her, half-pulling her into her arms for support.

An armful of fragrant, warm softness. Ye Qingyu’s heart was pounding like a drum, her brain frozen and unable to function—

At this moment, if she lowered her head slightly, she would see a pair of furry ears just inches away—fluffy, springy, their fur delicate, trembling and swaying with the woman’s every step.

A fatal kind of cute.

“You… you’re playing with me, a little red panda…”

Stumbling forward, Pei the Red Panda felt the world spin. The only things left were the sweet scent of wine from the human holding her and the soft, warm body pressed against hers.

She thought hazily that she seemed to have accidentally fallen into the human’s cunning trap, but the wine was indeed so sweet…

“Careful.”

Pei Rong’s feet stumbled. She almost hit the wall at the corner. Ye Qingyu quickly pulled her tighter into her arms, then her whole body stiffened—

A soft, warm, and fluffy touch suddenly brushed against her cheek.

—Boss Pei’s furry ear had poked her.

The next second, that ear trembled against the skin of her cheek. The itch of the fur brushing against her, and the real, living vitality contained in that tremor, made Ye Qingyu’s heart shudder. Half of her soul instantly flew away.

Her mind went blank, her gaze dazed, until the bathroom door closed in front of her with a snap.

Inside the bathroom, Pei Rong leaned unsteadily against the sink, looking at herself in the mirror.

She turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of water, and gently patted her hot cheeks, trying to stay awake.

Then she raised a hand to rub the two ears on top of her head, trying hard to press the disobedient things back down, but it was all in vain.

“…” Pei the Red Panda stood there, a pair of furry ears on her head, completely sullen.

What a detestable human.

But she has never been a little red panda that lets others push her around!

Pei Rong thought, her eyes misty with drink. She unconsciously licked the tip of her teeth, tasting the sweetness of the white wine again.

…

Ye Qingyu leaned weakly against the wall, her usually stream-clear eyes now dazed and blank.

With a creak, the bathroom door opened.

She saw her beautiful boss march out, puffed up with indignation. She blinked her moist, reddened peach blossom eyes and grabbed her by the collar, her voice fierce, “Ye Qingyu…”

Her speech was slurred, her tone like a soft southern dialect, her voice rising at the end as her furry ears trembled.

After speaking, she turned and was about to walk toward the dining room.

Her steps were still soft and unsteady. Ye Qingyu could only let the woman haphazardly grab her collar while supporting her to prevent her from falling.

After being pulled and tugged to the dining table, she held onto Pei Rong, wanting to settle her in her seat. But she didn’t know where the limp-bodied woman found the strength. She suddenly struggled, pushed—

—and in a reverse move, pushed her down onto the seat, then straddled her lap.

The scent of bamboo leaves and scholar flowers, mixed with the aroma of sweet wine, washed over her, along with the soft, warm touch of the woman’s body pressed against hers. Ye Qingyu felt her heart pound in her chest, hot and itchy.

As she was stunned, she saw Pei Rong, in the next second, pick up the slender bottle of white wine from the table. Her drunken, misty peach blossom eyes looked down at her, and then she pressed the mouth of the bottle to her lips.

Gulp—

Ye Qingyu didn’t have time to react. Her throat moved, and she accidentally drank two large mouthfuls of wine.

A rush shot straight to her head.

“You want to play with me, a little red panda…”

The beautiful boss’s red lips opened and closed, mumbling some words softly, so drunk that even her fingertips were flushed pink. “When I, Pei the Red Panda, was climbing trees, you weren’t even born yet!”

“Ngh…” Ye Qingyu tilted her head back as she was being forced to drink. The long, slender column of her neck showed a graceful and powerful curve, the veins on her neck becoming more prominent.

Her alcohol tolerance was average to begin with. After these few gulps, she only felt dizzy.

Gulp…

She was forced to drink another mouthful, and some of the reddish liquid spilled from the corner of her lips.

Ye Qingyu squinted her eyes in discomfort, struggling to muster some strength from her daze. She clamped a hand around the waist of the woman in her lap to stop her from causing trouble, while her other hand struggled to pull the wine bottle from Pei Rong’s grasp, tossing it carelessly onto the table.

She panted heavily for a few breaths. “Boss… Boss Pei…”

Her consciousness was becoming more and more chaotic. She blinked hard. She could only see a blurry outline of the woman’s beautiful, stunning face.

Pei Rong was still muttering something. Ye Qingyu could only vaguely make out the words “red panda.”

Red panda.

Ye Qingyu’s hazy heart trembled. An uncontrollable itch arose, roaming around her chest, sparking an electric numbness.

Her gaze moved up, and she saw that pair of snow-white, large, furry ears trembling, so eye-catching, so alluring.

The alcohol coursing through her blood began to roar, demanding to wreak havoc.

Having forcefully poured wine down the human’s throat, Pei the Red Panda licked her lips in satisfaction, preparing to make a triumphant retreat, but her whole body stiffened—

A strange itch came from her tailbone. Her tail also seemed to be… about to pop out…

As she was stunned, an irresistible force suddenly came from her waist.

The human, in a great act of insubordination, pressed her into her embrace. The once “useless hands” moved to her furry ears, kneading them nimbly, playing with them in circles, even giving them a tug and a pull from time to time.

Pei Rong’s red lips parted slightly, the tips of her sharp canines unconsciously exposed.

“Ngh…” She usually didn’t feel anything when she rubbed her own ears, but now, a strange numbness and itch spread from her ears to her entire body. It was vaguely comfortable, making her feel so weak she couldn’t muster a shred of strength.

Pei the Red Panda began to tremble uncontrollably. Her large, fluffy tail rose high behind her. Unable to bear it, she opened her mouth and bit down on the side of the human’s neck.

A fierce bite.
