Chapter 24: Alcohol + Confession =?
Alcohol + talking = emptiness.
That night, Liu Erlong said a lot.
At this moment, her mind was in chaos and only the most instinctive reaction remained.
She didn't say anything, but suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Yin's hand on her shoulder!
She used so much force that her nails almost dug into Xiao Yin's skin.
She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and also seemed to be seeking confirmation.
"Xiao Yin..."
Her voice was heavily intoxicated, and her eyes were blurry and fiery as she stared at him.
"You... you say... am I... a failure? Am I... annoying?"
"No," Xiao Yin let her hold his hand, looking back at her calmly, his tone firm.
"You are strong and real. A hundred times stronger than those hypocritical people."
This simple yet heart-touching affirmation was like a warm current that instantly broke down Liu Erlong's last line of defense.
The tears in her eyes burst out again, but it was no longer pure sadness. It seemed to be mixed with a sense of grievance and relief of being understood.
In an instant, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and her whole body leaned softly on Xiao Yin's shoulder.
The hot breath with the aroma of wine sprayed on Xiao Yin's neck, bringing waves of tingling and numbness.
Xiao Yin's body stiffened slightly.
He could clearly feel the amazing softness and warmth of the delicate body in his arms. The unique scent, a mixture of alcohol and a faint body fragrance, overbearingly invaded his senses.
The brief ambiguous touch in the forest during the day was infinitely magnified at this moment.
Liu Erlong seemed to have found a comfortable harbor. She rubbed against his shoulder and murmured incoherently:
"So tired… Really so tired…"
The surrounding noise seemed to be isolated, leaving only the rapid breathing and heartbeats between the two.
The dim light of the tavern enveloped them ambiguously, outlining their silhouettes leaning against each other.
Xiao Yin looked down at Liu Erlong who was leaning on his shoulder.
Tears were still hanging on her long eyelashes, her cheeks were flushed, and her red lips were slightly open. She looked like she had been stripped of all her thorns, and she looked breathtakingly soft and fragile.
He sat quietly for a moment, feeling the weight on his shoulders and the warm touch on his waist.
Finally, he sighed softly, put one hand around her back, and the other hand through her legs, and picked up Liu Erlong in a standard princess hug.
Liu Erlong subconsciously buried her head deeper into Xiao Yin's neck, and her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck, her warm breath spraying all over his skin.
Xiao Yin's body stiffened again, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
He held the warm, soft, and fiery body in his arms, walked out of the bustling "Meltdown" tavern, and blended into the hazy night of Heaven Dou City.
The cool night breeze blew on the two of them.
Xiao Yin lowered his head to glance at the person sleeping in his arms. The sleeping face looked particularly quiet and gentle in the moonlight, completely different from the fierce and domineering appearance in the daytime.
He tightened his arms and walked steadily towards Blue Tyrant Academy.
Yu Xiaogang, just wait and see, I'll hang you up and beat you up later!
-----------------
The early morning sunlight shone through the carved window lattices, casting a warm glow on Liu Erlong's face.
The heaviness of the hangover was like being filled with lead. She frowned and opened her eyes dazedly.
Hmm? It doesn't feel right.
Beneath her was the familiar soft bed, covered with her usual goose down quilt, but on her body... Liu Erlong subconsciously touched herself.
The silky touch... it's her silk suspender nightgown!
It's the one with lace trim that she hardly ever wears!
"Boom!"
A surge of hot blood rushed to her head, and Liu Erlong sat up suddenly!
She lifted the quilt and looked down - that's right!
Only nightgowns!
Inside... it's empty!
The memory of last night flashed back vaguely: the clamor in the tavern, the burning liquor, the uncontrolled talk, the torrent of tears...
And... a strong, broad shoulder? A warm embrace?
"Xiao! Yin!"
Liu Erlong gritted her teeth and squeezed out the name, her face turning red and white, with a mixture of shame and anger.
She threw back the quilt and rushed out of the bedroom barefoot, like an enraged female Tyrant Dragon, rushing towards the living room downstairs with murderous intent.
As soon as she rushed to the stairs, the tempting aroma of food entered her nose.
It's not the greasy taste of a tavern, but the refreshing aroma of rice mixed with the sweetness of some vegetables.
She paused and looked towards the kitchen in confusion.
In the kitchen, the culprit, Xiao Yin, was standing in front of the stove with his back to her.
He held a spatula in one hand, skillfully stirring the vegetables in the pot, while the other hand rested casually on the stove. The morning light outlined his tall back, which was actually a bit...
The homely atmosphere?
But this heartwarming scene did not calm Liu Erlong's anger at all.
She looked down at the "indecent" nightgown she was wearing, and her anger grew even more intense!
"Xiao! Yin!"
Liu Erlong roared like a lion, making the kitchen glass buzz.
She rushed into the kitchen and stood in front of Xiao Yin with a fierce look, her hands on her hips, her chest heaving violently, and the straps of her nightgown slipped to one side due to excitement, revealing her round shoulders and delicate collarbones.
"Explain it to me clearly!"
She pointed at her nightgown, her fingers trembling, and her voice was high and shrill.
"What! Is! This!?
Where are my clothes?!
You... what did you do to me?!"
Xiao Yin's hands trembled due to this sudden "attack" and he almost dropped the spatula.
He turned around and looked at the scene before him:
Liu Erlong was wearing a sexy silk nightgown, barefoot, with a flushed look on her face from a hangover, but her beautiful eyes were spitting fire, and she was questioning with her hands on her hips in a menacing manner... This contrast was really a bit... funny.
He resisted the urge to curl up the corners of his mouth, trying to maintain a serious expression, pointing to the clothes in the laundry basket next to him that exuded a strong smell of alcohol and... some indescribable sour smell.
"Calm down." Xiao Yin's voice was calm.
"You were in the tavern last night... well, you were quite emotional, and on the way back, you vomited." He paused, as if choosing his words.
"You vomited... quite thoroughly. Not only yourself but also me was not spared."
Liu Erlong looked in the direction he pointed and saw the pile of clothes that exuded the smell of "biochemical weapons". Her face turned green instantly.
The fragmented memories from last night seemed to flash back to her...
It seems... that's the case?
She subconsciously covered her mouth and took a step back.
Xiao Yin continued expressionlessly, "Given your condition at the time, to prevent you from sleeping in... uh, contaminated clothing..."
He paused, and met Liu Erlong's eyes, which were almost spitting fire, with a calm look.
"I had no choice but to close my eyes and fumble to help you put on this... nightgown which looks cleaner.
I promise that the entire process was done as quickly as possible without any inappropriate viewing.
The dirty clothes you took off are already soaked. I suggest you deal with them yourself later. The smell is really... touching."
