"Sister Zhuqing? There's another one!?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened as she glared at Ye Qiu with hatred, grinding her teeth.
"This bastard!"
I just gave away my first kiss like that?!
"Sister Rongrong, are you alright?"
"I'm fine! Humph! Tui~"
She shot Ye Qiu a cold look, spat lightly, wiped her lips with the back of her hand, and stormed off indignantly.
Xiao Lan stood there, stunned and bewildered.
"Why did she just leave like that?"
"You didn't even know to help Xiao Lan lift your brother! Humph~"
She made a face in the direction Ning Rongrong had left.
Looking at Ye Qiu lying unconscious on the table, she sighed.
"My brother is such a worry! Haha…"
Mimicking Ye Qiu's usual calm tone, she patted his shoulder and couldn't help laughing out loud.
It took a lot of effort to move Ye Qiu onto the bed. After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a little thirsty.
Her eyes flicked toward the table, where she spotted a bright red jar.
Thinking of the fine wine she had drunk earlier, her mouth watered. She swallowed hard and smacked her lips.
She glanced at Ye Qiu, who was lying there completely paralyzed, then felt relieved. Jogging over, she picked up the jar and sniffed it.
"Hehe~ It smells so good!"
"Glug, glug~ Achoo…"
She drank it all in one gulp!
"So delicious~ Uh…"
A wave of heat rushed to her head, and her limbs suddenly felt weak.
Clap!
The jar fell to the ground. Xiao Lan's face instantly flushed red, the color spreading from her cheeks to her ears and neck.
"How strange… why is the house spinning?"
She staggered around aimlessly, unable to walk straight.
Sniffing the air, she barely managed to identify Ye Qiu's familiar scent amidst the strong aroma of wine. She stumbled to the bed, sat down—
"Ugh~"
Letting out a long hiccup, she rolled her eyes, collapsed onto Ye Qiu, and immediately fell asleep.
The room was peaceful, but the floor was a complete mess.
The moon slowly disappeared, and the morning sun gradually rose.
Twilight faded, dawn broke, and morning arrived.
Xiao Lan had already woken up, while Ye Qiu was still fast asleep.
Early morning.
Xiao Lan teased the sleeping Ye Qiu with her hair, a gentle smile on her face.
Ye Qiu's eyelashes fluttered, and his azure eyes slowly opened.
"Ah! Brother, you're finally awake!"
"Uh… cough, cough!"
The moment he woke up, a heavy weight pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe. Ye Qiu coughed violently.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Move aside… let me catch my breath…"
"Oh~"
Little Blue obediently moved away and began fiddling with something on the table.
"Phew~"
Ye Qiu sat up, rubbed his heavy head, and felt an intense dryness in his throat. His memories were fragmented.
He only vaguely remembered Ning Rongrong forcing him to drink a mouthful of "juice," after which everything became hazy.
What exactly happened after that?
He slapped his own face, resentment written all over it.
"That Ning Rongrong actually lied to me!"
"Hehe, brother, have some water~"
Xiao Lan covered her mouth and giggled as she held a glass of water to his lips.
Ye Qiu took the glass and gulped it down in one go, then glared at Xiao Lan's mischievous grin.
"You're still laughing! You're not allowed to drink anymore!"
"Hmph! If you don't want me to drink, just say so. Why are you being so fierce?"
Xiao Lan pouted, glanced at Ye Qiu sideways, and added disdainfully,
"my alcohol tolerance is much higher than yours."
"You…!"
Ye Qiu was left speechless with anger.
He collapsed after just one drink—utterly humiliating. His body felt weak, and even his spirit seemed dulled.
"Ahem… by the way, how long was I asleep?"
Judging by the sunlight outside, he guessed it had only been one night.
"What!? You're saying I slept for a day and two nights?!"
Upon hearing Xiao Lan's answer, Ye Qiu's face twitched.
What kind of cursed "juice" did that little witch Ning Rongrong give him to drink to make him sleep for a day and two nights?
It was clearly alcohol—and extremely strong at that! Otherwise, even with his poor tolerance, it wouldn't have been this bad.
Xiao Lan gently patted Ye Qiu's head.
"Oh yeah! Brother slept like a pig for ages~"
Slap!
Ye Qiu slapped her hand away and rolled his eyes, realizing that she was becoming increasingly unruly.
"Hehe~"
In the courtyard, Ye Qiu—already washed and dressed—sat in the pavilion of the flower garden, eating the breakfast brought by the servants.
Little Blue wandered among the flowers, picking blossoms and weaving them into a flower wreath.
She placed it on her head, twirled happily, and her long blue-and-gold patterned dress fluttered in the wind.
She truly had a charming smile and beautiful, expressive eyes.
"Brother, isn't Xiao Lan pretty? Haha~"
Watching Xiao Lan dance like a butterfly and hearing her question, Ye Qiu felt a strange sense of déjà vu. Some fragmented images flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp them.
He opened his mouth, about to reply—
A blue-clad figure entered the courtyard.
"Little Blue! Let's go, I'll take you to— Ah! You're awake!?"
"Sister Rongrong~"
Ning Rongrong noticed Ye Qiu sitting in the pavilion and exclaimed in surprise, stopping mid-sentence.
Her face flushed red with embarrassment. Panic flashed across her eyes, and she instinctively wanted to flee.
"Heh~ Thanks to you, I finally got enough sleep after a day and two nights!"
Ye Qiu sneered at her.
Smack!
Ye Qiu slammed his palm onto the table and stood up, glaring at her angrily.
"Why did you lie to me?!"
"What… what do you mean I lied to you?"
Ning Rongrong suppressed her embarrassment, stiffened her neck, put her hands on her hips, and refused to back down.
"I just took the wrong one! Is that not allowed?!"
"You took the wrong one?"
Ye Qiu pointed at her.
"What am I supposed to say when you force-feed me something like that?!"
Seeing that Ye Qiu still dared to accuse her, Ning Rongrong grew furious. Why should she tolerate this?
They weren't pretending anymore—they were laying everything bare.
"What are you talking about?! What's there to say?! I'm the one who lost out the most, you bastard! You scumbag!"
She stepped forward, slapped his pointing hand away, jabbed a finger at his chest, and began cursing loudly.
"Heh heh!"
Ye Qiu laughed in anger. What had he even done to deserve this?
"Brother~ Sister Rongrong~"
"None of your business!" ×2
Their voices were perfectly synchronized.
"Oh~"
Little Blue responded pitifully and ran off again, her eyes full of innocent confusion.
Ignoring Xiao Lan, Ye Qiu fixed his gaze on Ning Rongrong, determined to hear her explanation.
"Miss Rongrong! You say you lost out—and I'm a scumbag? What kind of logic is that?!"
"You didn't know?" Ning Rongrong looked at him in shock.
"Should I know?" Ye Qiu asked in confusion, then nodded. "I really should know!"
"How could you not know!"
Ning Rongrong let out a breath, but her anger only intensified. No—she was furious.
