A beautiful summer night

Xia Wanzhi was itching to drink, so she boldly picked up her wine glass and gulped it down. Before long, the table was full of wine.

Cocktails have a fruity flavor and you don't feel anything when you drink them, but as long as they contain alcohol, they will have an aftereffect.

Xia Wanzhi kept toasting Yunli, and once the alcohol hit their heads, the two of them started vomiting all sorts of things.

Xia Wanzhi was probably drunk, and started rambling incoherently, saying things that Yunli couldn't understand.

He cursed Zhou Yu one moment, Xie Qiyan the next, and his own parents and grandfather the next.

Yunli was both amused and exasperated. When she had calmed down, she finally revealed her true feelings: "I don't like Liang Jing. We're not the same kind of people at all, but my mom does."

"My mother threatened to commit suicide so that I could be with him."

Yunli smiled bitterly: "I only have one relative, I have no choice but to compromise..."

So she became a bird trapped in a cage, with wings but restricted freedom.

Xia Wanzhi hadn't actually drunk much, and she could still hear what others were saying, but her head was spinning. She remembered someone and blurted out without thinking, "That brother Jiang Baichuan... that CEO of the Jiang family, who is he to you?"

Yun Li's thoughts were pulled back. After wiping the corner of her eye, she grabbed Xia Wanzhi, who was shaking her head, and said with a mix of laughter and tears, "What Jiang Baichuan? I don't know any Jiang Baichuan. Sit still!"

Xia Wanzhi immediately sat up straight and answered seriously, "It's Jiang Baichuan who's with Xie Qiyan."

Yunli vaguely remembered: "That tall guy?"

Xia Wanzhi clapped her hands: "Yes! It's him! He's definitely interested in you, you go... dump Liang Jing and choose him!"

Yunli chuckled, seeing that she was so drunk that she was incoherent, and took her hand to rub her reddened palms: "Alright, sit tight, I'll call your assistant to pick you up and take you home."

Xia Wanzhi pouted: "I won't call her. She's probably sleeping with her two mice. I don't want her to come!"

Yunli said helplessly, "Then will you take a taxi with me?"

Xia Wanzhi didn't say anything. Yun Li waited for a while, then reached out and took out her phone, turned it on with facial recognition, and patted her cheek: "Say something."

Xia Wanzhi held up one finger and waved it from side to side: "I won't take a taxi, I won't go home, I have no home."

"Then come home with me." Yunli said, hanging her arm around her neck.

Xia Wanzhi pulled her hand back in protest: "Your mother definitely doesn't welcome me."

Yunli: "..."

Yunmu wouldn't allow Yunli to stay out all night, but she was also worried about sending the drunk Xia Wanzhi to a hotel. So she checked Xia Wanzhi's WeChat and identified one person.

"Can you call Xie Tan and ask her to come and take you home?" Yun Li vaguely remembered that Xia Wanzhi had mentioned this name.

His surname is Xie, so he must be related to Xie Qiyan.

Although she had only met Xie Qiyan once, Yunli had a better impression of him than of Zhou Yu.

Upon hearing Xie Tan's name, Xia Wanzhi hesitated for a few seconds before leaning on Yun Li's shoulder and nodding emphatically: "I want Xie Tan."

Yunli chuckled, pressed the video call button, and pointed the camera at Xia Wanzhi.

"Sister Maruko!"

A loud girl's voice came from the other end, and Xia Wanzhi sat up straight with a start, squinting at the screen.

"Xie Tan? Did you go inside the phone?" Xia Wanzhi tilted her head.

Yun Li rubbed her forehead: "..."

He was really quite drunk.

Xie Tan stared blankly at Xia Wanzhi: "Where are you, Sister Wanzi?"

"Sister Xie Tan, your sister Wanzi is drunk. Do you know any adults who are close to her? Could you ask them to pick her up from the 'Human Beauty' bar?" Yun Li approached and greeted her gently and kindly.

"Yes, yes, yes! My brother and Xiaowanzi are very close!" Xie Tan said and rushed out of the room barefoot. Yun Li waited for a while, but before Xie Tan could go to find her brother, Xia Wanzhi snatched her phone and forcibly hung up.

Yunli: "..."

After Xia Wanzhi got her phone back, she stopped making a fuss and instead sat down, holding Yun Li's arm and looking in Zhou Yu's direction.

The people on the other end were still engrossed in their wine and women, completely unaware of Xia Wanzhi's presence.

A moment later, Xie Tan called via WeChat, and Xia Wanzhi answered instinctively: "Hello, Xia Wanzhi is not here."

Xie Tan could tell she was drunk, so he exclaimed, "Sister Wanzi, my brother isn't home, but I called him and he's coming to pick you up right now!"

Xia Wanzhi stared drowsily at Xie Tan in her bunny pajamas on her phone for a long while before blowing her a kiss: "Love you, baby."

Xie Tan laughed non-stop: "Little Maruko, it's so funny when you're drunk."

Yunli laughed so hard her shoulders shook: "It's really fun."

But after a while, when she saw the two men standing like two pillars in front of the booth, Yunli couldn't help but swallow hard: "Which of you... will take her home?"

Sure, you've summoned two older brothers.

“He’ll take it.” Jiang Baichuan took a step back.

He and Xie Qiyan had just come down from a dinner party, intending to watch the show and join in the fun, but they never expected to run into Yun Li here.

It was a dark and windy night, and the bar was filled with all sorts of people. It wasn't very safe for two girls to be so drunk.

Jiang Baichuan frowned, looked around, and noticed a familiar profile on a curved booth not far away. He immediately nudged Xie Qiyan with his elbow and coughed lightly, "Your Xia family sister must have been upset about catching her husband cheating. Go back and comfort her."

Xie Qiyan's gaze also returned from that direction, his expression calm and composed.

Yunli's arm was held tightly by Xia Wanzhi, so she couldn't stand up and could only look up at the two men: "Still watching? Give me a hand."

"Xia Wanzhi." Xie Qiyan's voice was slightly deep as he called out Xia Wanzhi's name but made no move.

When Xia Wanzhi heard his voice and slowly raised her head, he calmly uttered two words: "Get up."

"Who is he?" Xia Wanzhi asked Yun Li, her eyes wide open.

Yunli tried to pry her hands open: "Your brother."

"Nonsense!" Xia Wanzhi sneered. "He's clearly a ruthless Yama!"

Yunli: "..."

Jiang Baichuan gave a short laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Come and help." Yun Li felt that the person in front of her had a dark face and was not easy to talk to, so she could only ask Jiang Baichuan behind her for help.

Jiang Baichuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xie Qiyan, you should try to coax her."

A slight change finally appeared on Xie Qiyan's otherwise emotionless face.

"Am I sick?" Xie Qiyan's thin lips moved slightly, but as he said that, he took a step forward.

He leaned slightly forward, picked up a cocktail from the table, and offered it to Xia Wanzhi: "Can you still drink? Stand up and let's have a toast."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wanzhi pulled her hand away from Yun Li, picked up a cup, and stood up unsteadily to toast Xie Qiyan.

Seeing this, Yunli stood up and stepped aside. Just as she was admiring Xie Qiyan's ability to easily control Xia Wanzhi, Xia Wanzhi swayed and fell down again.

"Wanzi..." Her wrist was grabbed by Jiang Baichuan, who was standing next to her. She was stunned and didn't move for a moment.

Xia Wanzhi, who was about to fall, was being held up by the back of her collar by Xie Qiyan with one hand, and was still in a precarious state.

"Them?" Yunli asked with a look, conveying the unspoken meaning.

Jiang Baichuan looked into her eyes and chuckled, "He's someone I've known since childhood. He'll get her safely to Xie Tan's place, so don't worry."

Yunli nodded: "That's good."

"Xie Qiyan!" Xia Wanzhi poked Xie Qiyan's chest with her index finger. "I know it's you!"

Xie Qiyan frowned, then flicked her forehead with his finger: "What's wrong with you? Go back."

"Go back where?" Xia Wanzhi's voice dropped a few decibels. She was about to say that she had no home and could not go home anymore when Xie Qiyan coldly replied.

"Return to heaven."

Xia Wanzhi was a little confused: "To be a fairy?"

Xie Qiyan hummed in response: "Hmm."

Yun Li and Jiang Baichuan exchanged a silent glance: "..."
