In the end, he still couldn’t bear it, but since she had drunk this much, Shen Hexuan couldn’t very well take her home.
He could only find a sofa and sit down with her in his arms, after all, the little ancestor needed to sleep.
And that “little nap” ended up lasting an hour. It was Shen Hexuan’s first time holding a girl like this, and he was careful not too tight, or she’d be uncomfortable; not too loose, or she might fall.
He kept adjusting his strength, slowly figuring out the proper way.
After all, with her clumsy yet playful personality, this kind of thing would probably happen more in the future.
Once the ballroom opened, knowing her, she would only become even more mischievous!
Tang Fei’ang’ang, being used to the drinking scene, sobered up quickly.
When he opened his eyes after resting, he saw Shen Hexuan sitting there with the girl in his arms, pretending to nap!
He could tell it was a fake nap because Shen Hexuan kept adjusting his hold.
Tsk tsk… what a rare sight.
Such a precious girl, and Shen Hexuan was seeing this for the first time!
“Hexuan, aren’t you tired?” Jiang Chuyao asked. She didn’t know how long he had been sitting like this, but judging by how peacefully the girl was sleeping, it had been a while.
“I’m not!” Shen Hexuan flatly denied.
“Of course, a man can never admit fatigue, right?”
Shen Hexuan thought: If you can’t speak properly, just shut up!
Tang Fei’angang, now awake, felt completely refreshed good alcohol!
He went to the bar and grabbed the fruit platter Jiang Chuyao had prepared and started eating without hesitation. “Do you want some?”
After a few bites, he looked at Shen Hexuan teasingly. “Oh right, you don’t have hands. I’ll just eat it myself!”
“See, not a single beating is wasted,” Shen Hexuan mocked Tang Fei’ang’ang for being so cheeky.
“Damn, are we even brothers? You don’t hit the face, you don’t expose secrets unfair!” Tang Fei’ang’ang complained, demanding some attention.
“Uncle Tang always used the sole of his shoe, no mercy.”
“My dad used it on my butt, not my face!”
“No difference!” Shen Hexuan snapped, making Tang Fei’ang’ang angrily take a big bite of his apple.
Yes, he would turn his frustration into appetite chew it all up!
When Jiang Chuyao woke up, she realized she was in a warm, firm embrace. Unsure, she didn’t open her eyes, and reached out to feel around.
And the moment she touched him, she thought she must still be dreaming. She hadn’t fully woken up!
“Tsk tsk, so firm, it feels like I’m dreaming!” Tang Fei’ang’ang saw her little movements clearly and blurted it out without a care.
Jiang Chuyao snapped awake and met Shen Hexuan’s deep, affectionate gaze!
(⊙o⊙)…
“Did I… take advantage of you?” Jiang Chuyao rubbed her sleepy eyes, realizing she had actually woken up in Shen Hexuan’s arms.
“What do you think? You don’t realize it, but you’ve enjoyed all of Hexuan’s favors with all the biting and hugging.” Before Shen Hexuan could speak, the ever-helpful Tang Fei’ang’ang chimed in.
He felt he had to help his brother. Apart from his face and body, there was really nothing else that would attract a young girl.
If he could, he would have personally delivered the girl away.
For the sake of his brother’s happiness, he had to go all out!
“Drinking is troublesome! No more in the future!” Jiang Chuyao pouted, rubbing her head.
“Sit still, I’ll massage you!” Shen Hexuan didn’t respond to Tang Fei’ang’ang, whether true or false, and started massaging Jiang Chuyao. “A little drinking is pleasant, too much is harmful. Drink less in the future.”
“You should only drink in front of Hexuan. Your taste in alcohol is really bad,” Tang Fei’ang’ang added, and for the first time Shen Hexuan felt this guy was useful he could actually speak up when needed!
“It’s getting late. I should hurry home, or Grandma will worry,” Jiang Chuyao said, noticing that it was dark outside.
But as she stood up from Shen Hexuan, her legs went numb, and she plopped back into his lap.
Uh… this was awkward.
“Alright, I know you two get along, but stop the flirting. It’s making my teeth hurt,” Tang Fei’ang’ang covered his eyes, pretending he couldn’t watch.
But the gaps between his fingers didn’t stop him from looking or teasing.
“My legs are numb,” Jiang Chuyao explained.
“I’ll massage them for you!” Shen Hexuan offered, not overstepping by rubbing her feet roughly.
“No, it’s fine.” Jiang Chuyao forced herself up, stomped her feet, and felt better, then hurried outside.
Shen Hexuan grabbed his coat and followed her. At the gate, he handed her the coat while she climbed onto the bicycle, “I’ll take you home.”
Seeing it was dark, Jiang Chuyao worried her grandparents might be anxious, so she didn’t hesitate, putting on the coat immediately.
She planned to jump on the back seat, but as she approached, he wrapped one arm around her waist and lifted her up. She felt her feet leave the ground and settled securely on the seat.
Boyfriend power through the roof.
If not for appearances, she would’ve loved to feel his arm muscles absolutely perfect.
His coat reached her thighs, like a child wearing an adult’s jacket, and it carried a faint scent of tobacco and soap no sweat smell.
Full of security.
Jiang Chuyao had no idea that at this very moment, an unexpected visitor had arrived at the Jiang household. The grandparents were busy outside and couldn’t even come look for her.
At her front door, she wanted to give him the coat. “Keep it on, don’t catch a cold. It’s too late. I won’t go in to see Grandpa and Grandma just tell them for me.”
“Okay.”
“Go inside!” Shen Hexuan watched her enter the yard, then mounted his bike and left.
A gentle breeze brushed past him, leaving him feeling exhilarated, even making his feet fly over the pedals.
One word: awesome!
Jiang Chuyao had just entered the yard when she heard crying not from Grandma but worried, she ran in.
Inside, she saw Mu Jinchun kneeling on the floor, wiping her tears.
“Good granddaughter, you’re back. The food is in the kitchen. Heat it up and eat in your room, so the smoke won’t make you lose your appetite!” Grandma Jiang always spoke harshly, especially toward this would-be homewrecker.
“Yao Yao, help me say a few words to Auntie!” Mu Jinchun thought that from previous encounters, Jiang Chuyao wasn’t opposed to her and might be an easy pawn to pressure the grandparents.
Hearing this, the grandparents were the first to bristle.
“You two did such disgusting things and still have the nerve to ask my granddaughter for help?” Grandma Jiang flung her teacup at Mu Jinchun.
But Mu Jinchun, as if determined to win their approval, let the cup hit her head, tea running down her forehead.
