Deep blue eyes met cyan eyes.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu's eyes were already drooping, his eyelids heavy, yet his previously blurry figure became increasingly clear.
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, her earlobes slowly turning red, her voice soft.
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
As soon as she spoke, she felt her face burning. How could she have asked such a question?
"Ah!" Suddenly, she exclaimed.
Ye Qiu had embraced her.
"Very pretty," Ye Qiu whispered dreamily in her ear.
Ning Rongrong felt her heart pounding, a surge of joy rising within her.
She pressed her burning face against his chest.
Inhaling the scent emanating from Ye Qiu, perhaps it was the alcohol, or perhaps she had already harbored these thoughts.
Looking up at the somewhat unconscious Ye Qiu, her lips slightly parted, she leaned forward.
His warm breath brushed against her face, burning her cheeks.
Her blue eyes, stirred by the scalding heat, rippled with a thin mist, shimmering and translucent.
Their lips lightly touched.
Ning Rongrong shuddered; the electric sensation sent a shiver down her spine, leaving her both numb and intoxicated.
"Xiao Wu..."
However, Ye Qiu's murmur was like a bucket of cold water poured over her.
Like being suddenly struck by sleet from a warm rainforest,
her body stiffened, her mind cleared, the mist in her eyes vanished, and the shimmering light disappeared.
Her allure turned to anger, and she immediately pulled away from Ye Qiu's embrace, filled with shame and indignation.
"This guy actually mistook me for someone else!" Ning Rongrong angrily grabbed his collar. What had she just done?
"Say it! Who is Xiao Wu?!" After shaking him vigorously a few times, seeing that he remained silent, she realized he had actually passed out.
"Ye Qiu, you bastard!" Ning Rongrong glared at him fiercely, her eyes practically spitting fire.
*Thump thump!* Bangbang punched him twice, furious.
"That was my first kiss!"
Just as she was about to take the next step, preparing to wake him up and ask him what was going on, a clear, slightly dazed voice came.
"Sister Rongrong~ What are you doing?"
"Ah! Xiaolan?"
Like a thief, Ning Rongrong suddenly panicked, looking around, only to find that Xiaolan on the bed had woken up.
She was rubbing her head, looking at her curiously.
"Ah~ nothing, nothing!" She quickly let go of Ye Qiu and took a few steps back.
Ye Qiu was slumped on the table like a rag doll.
Xiaolan was still a little dazed, walking unsteadily.
She stumbled over to Ye Qiu, nudged him, but there was no reaction, and she looked at Ning Rongrong strangely.
"Sister Rongrong~ What happened to my brother?"
"Oh~ he's fine, he got drunk with me!" Ning Rongrong's eyes darted away.
"Oh, I see. Brother's so mean! He drank it all himself, and then told Xiao Lan she couldn't drink any more." Ning Rongrong gently patted Ye Qiu's head, as if she were the older one.
"Hehe." Ning Rongrong chuckled awkwardly, her expression slightly guilty. She leaned closer to Xiao Lan and tentatively asked,
"Xiao Lan, did you see anything just now?"
"Huh?" Xiao Lan rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Yes!"
"What! You saw it!" Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly rose, her face turning a ghastly red, as if she'd been startled.
"Yeah! I just woke up and saw you hitting brother."
"Phew!" Hearing Xiao Lan's words, Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, patting her still-developing breasts. "That's good, that's good!"
"Did something else happen just now?"
"Of course not! We only drank a little! Yeah, that's all!" Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, leaned closer to Xiao Lan, and looked at her seriously.
Xiao Lan, still half-asleep, didn't think much of it and nodded groggily.
"Xiao Lan, do you know who Xiao Wu is that Ye Qiu mentioned?" Ning Rongrong's expression was a little unnatural, and she was very curious about the Xiao Wu Ye Qiu was talking about.
"Ah? Sister Rongrong knows too? But I've never met that sister before, I've only met Sister Zhu Qing!"
"Sister Zhu Qing? There's another one!?" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and she glared at Ye Qiu with hatred, gritting her teeth.
"That bastard!"
'My first kiss was just given away like that!?'
"Sister Rongrong, are you alright?"
"I'm fine! Humph! Tui~" She glanced coldly at Ye Qiu, spat lightly, wiped her lips with her hand, and left indignantly.
Xiao Lan stood there blankly, somewhat bewildered. "Why did you just leave like that?"
"You didn't even know to help Xiao Lan carry your brother! Humph~" She made a face in the direction he left.
Looking at Ye Qiu, who was slumped on the table, unconscious, she said,
"Brother is such a worry! Haha."
Mimicking Ye Qiu's tone, she patted his shoulder and couldn't help but laugh.
It took a lot of effort to move Ye Qiu to the bed. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she suddenly felt thirsty.
Her eyes darted around, and she spotted a bright red jar on the table.
Thinking of the fine wine she had drunk earlier, her mouth watered, and she swallowed, smacking her lips.
She glanced at the slumped Ye Qiu, then felt relieved and ran over to pick it up and sniff it.
"Hehe~ It smells so good!"
"Glug glug~ Ah burp" She downed it
in one gulp!
"So delicious~ Uh..."
A wave of heat rose to her head, and her limbs felt a little weak.
Crack!
The bottle fell to the ground, and Xiao Lan's face instantly turned red, from her head to her ears and neck.
"How strange! Why is the house spinning~"
She started walking, wandering around, unable to find her way.
She sniffed, and in the aroma of the wine, she recognized Ye Qiu's scent, and finally managed to sit on the bed.
"Uh~" She let out a long burp, her eyes rolled back and closed, and she collapsed onto Ye Qiu, falling asleep immediately!
The room was peaceful, the floor a mess;
the moon slowly disappeared, and the sun gradually rose;
the sunset illuminated the dusk, and dawn greeted the new day;
Xiao Lan had already woken up, but Ye Qiu was still fast asleep.
Morning.
Xiao Lan was teasing 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!"
Having just woken up, he felt a heavy weight pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe, and he coughed.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Get off me first, let me catch my breath."
"Okay~" Xiao Lan obediently moved aside and fiddled with something at the table.
"Phew~" He sat up, rubbing his heavy head. His throat was dry, and his memory seemed to be fragmented.
He only vaguely remembered Ning Rongrong forcing a mouthful of juice down his throat, and then he became somewhat disoriented.
'What happened next?' He slapped his cheeks, a resentful expression on his face.
"That Ning Rongrong tricked me!"
"Hehe, brother, drink some water~" Xiao Lan covered her mouth and giggled, holding a glass of water to Ye Qiu's lips.
He took the glass and gulped it down, feeling even more annoyed at Xiao Lan's playful grin.
"You're still laughing! You're not allowed to drink anymore!"
"Hmph! Fine, you're not allowed, why are you being so fierce~" Xiao Lan pouted, glanced at Ye Qiu sideways, and said disdainfully, "My alcohol tolerance is much better than yours~"
"You!" Ye Qiu was speechless with anger.
He was a little embarrassed after just one drink, he was really too weak, and even his momentum had weakened.
"Cough cough, how long have I been sleeping?"
Looking at the light outside, he thought it was probably only one night.
"What! You said I slept for a day and two nights!?"
Hearing Xiao Lan's answer, Ye Qiu's face twitched.
What kind of garbage juice did that little devil Ning Rongrong give him to drink that could make someone sleep for a day and two nights!
It was clearly alcohol, and not just any strong liquor! Otherwise, even if his alcohol tolerance was bad, he wouldn't be like this!
Xiao Lan gently patted Ye Qiu's head, "Oh right! Brother slept like a pig for a long time." *
Slap!* Ye Qiu slapped her hand away, rolled his eyes, and found that she was getting more and more unruly and disrespectful.
"Hehe~"
