Zhou Xingxing slowly opened his eyes. The slightly dilapidated ceiling felt somewhat familiar to him.

Isn't this a room in the Goethe Hotel in the lower section?

Why do I feel so heavy?

Stephen Chow looked down and was shocked!

Bronya and Seele were fast asleep, each on one side of him.

If the three of them hadn't been dressed relatively neatly, Stephen Chow would have almost thought that something unspeakable had happened between them last night.

"Hehe...let's drink some more..."

Xier stretched out her arms and lay on Zhou Xingxing's chest, drooling and talking in her sleep with a silly grin.

"That sleeping posture..."

Zhou Xingxing shook his head helplessly. Compared to Seele, Bronya was much quieter.

She lay on her side, using her hands as pillows under her neck, sleeping peacefully like a curled-up kitten.

So last night... I got drunk!?

Stephen Chow was shocked: three people had been drunk from a single bottle of wine?

What kind of wine is this that's so terrifying? Or are the three of us just bad drinkers?

It must be because the alcohol content was too high, it's definitely not because I have a low alcohol tolerance.

Stephen Chow immediately rejected the option that he had a low alcohol tolerance.

They tried to get up, but with the two of them pressed against their chests, they couldn't.

Helpless, he patted the two of them on the head.

"Hey, Seele, Bronya, wake up."

"Umm... Huh? What... What time is it?"

Seele looked dazed, got up sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and yawned.

Then, when she saw Stephen Chow, Xi'er was stunned.

Five seconds later.

"what----!"

Seele blushed deeply. What was going on? Why was she in Star's bed?

Oh wait, why is Bronya here too? The three of them are in one bed?

"Hmm...what's wrong, Seele?"

Seele's shout also woke Bronya up. She raised her head and blinked groggily.

First he looked at Xi'er, then he looked at Zhou Xingxing.

!!!

Just as Bronya was about to cry out involuntarily, just like Seele, she reacted.

Stephen Chow quickly covered Bronya's mouth.

If we call the hotel staff, this could easily become a huge misunderstanding.

"Well..."

Bronya was jolted awake by the hand covering her mouth and winked at Stephen Chow.

Stephen Chow then lowered his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't want to be mistaken for a pervert by the hotel staff.

After all, it's understandable if there's only one person in the room, but if there are two, it's really hard to explain.

"Ahem, um, how come we're sleeping together?"

Once she regained consciousness, Seele blushed and asked shyly.

This was the first time I'd ever seen Seele so shy; she was usually the one teasing others.

"I...I don't know..."

Bronya shook her head, somewhat bewildered.

"He's probably drunk..."

Stephen Chow shrugged helplessly.

"Huh! Is that so?! I have absolutely no recollection of that!"

Seele was shocked. If that was the case, then it was all her fault.

"Maybe you guys have a low alcohol tolerance. You shouldn't drink anymore."

"Huh? You talk like you can hold your liquor really well! You're drunk too!"

Seele immediately retorted.

"Who said I'm drunk? I'm not drunk!"

Stephen Chow stubbornly insisted.

"If you're not drunk, then why are we sleeping together? Did you do it on purpose?!"

Seele once again uttered something surprising.

Bronya's mouth was slightly open, and she blushed a little shyly upon hearing this.

"Cough cough, what did I just say? My head hurts a bit, I'm probably just rambling because I'm drunk..."

Upon hearing this, Stephen Chow realized he was being treated like a criminal, and immediately stopped being so defiant.

"Tch, all talk and no action."

Xi'er rolled her eyes at Zhou Xingxing with disdain, then proudly put her hands on her hips.

They successfully shifted the blame onto Xing, and won!

The three of them tidied their clothes a bit and went out. They hadn't come home all night, so hopefully no one noticed.

Seele said goodbye to the two and planned to go back to sleep for a while.

Zhou Xingxing then took Bronya back to the upper district.

"Today I want to help my mother get the farming done, so... see you tomorrow!"

In front of Cripper Castle, Bronya waved to Stephen Chow, saying that tomorrow would be the time to leave.

"See you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye, Stephen Chow went straight back to the Goethe Hotel.

In the hotel lobby, March 7th and Qiong were sitting and chatting.

"Hey, Xing, you're back. We thought we'd wake you up this morning since you hadn't gotten up yet, but then we realized you weren't in your room."

March 7th waved to Stephen Chow and pointed to the snacks in front of him.

"Oh, I always go to bed early and get up early."

"Zhou Xingxing said loudly, then sat down on the edge of the dome and grabbed a bag of snacks to have for breakfast."

"what?"

Qiong suddenly showed a strange expression, and then moved closer to Zhou Xingxing.

Sniff--

Why does it smell like alcohol?

Qiong's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Ah? Really?"

Hearing Qiong ask this question, Zhou Xingxing suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason.

"Hmm, and there's a... nice smell. Tell me! What did you go doing!"

Qiong sniffed carefully a few more times, then said with great certainty.

"Are you a puppy? Your nose is so sensitive..."

Stephen Chow was speechless.

"You're the puppy! Don't change the subject!"

Qiong said angrily.

March 7th covered his mouth and stood aside with a smug smile, watching the spectacle unfold.

"It's nothing, Seele was a little reluctant to part with Bronya, so she dragged me and Bronya out to eat, and we also secretly drank a bottle of wine."

"Oh, I see. You were sneaking food behind my back again."

Qiong nodded. That explanation made sense, but something still felt off. Oh well, never mind.

"Stealing is one thing, but what do you mean by 'again'?"

Stephen Chow rolled his eyes.

After last night's pillow fight, the awkwardness between the two has eased a lot. At least Qiong won't feel embarrassed every time she sees him.

As they were talking, Walter and Danheng walked in from outside.

"I just received news that Himeko has finished repairing the train, and we can set off at any time."

"Oh? So fast?"

Upon hearing this news, Stephen Chow was somewhat shocked. After all, it was such a large carriage, and it had already been repaired in less than two days.

As they were talking, Walter suddenly felt his phone vibrate, picked it up and glanced at it.

"I take back what I said earlier. I originally said we could leave at any time... but... you should still check the group chat."

Everyone opened the Starry Sky Train, feeling like one big family.

[Himeko: I was thinking of letting you all get together and play for a couple more days, but Pam said there seems to be something unclean in the car, and just now an uninvited guest arrived, so please come back as soon as possible.]
