Qi Xi muttered to herself and decisively poured all the wine into a half-empty beverage bottle next to her.
Hearing Ze Zhi's footsteps approaching, Qi Xi's heart tightened, and she quickly poured the mixture into the cup on the table.
"Xiaoxi, get ready. Yunmo will be done soon. It'll be your turn to take a bath soon."
Soon after, Ze Zhi appeared in the room, smiling as she stared at Qi Xi, who was sitting at the table as if deep in thought.
"Huh? So fast?"
Xiaoxi muttered in feigned surprise, her gaze subtly sweeping over the two drinks on the table. One of them was mixed with alcohol; would she be able to smell it?
"The class monitor is quite efficient in taking a shower. You can go ahead first, I'll tidy up a bit more."
"Oh, thank you for your help."
Qi Xi pretended not to know anything and strolled out of the room. The next second, Ze Zhi revealed a sinister smile and rushed to the cabinet.
Upon opening it and seeing the wine bottle inside, her smile deepened considerably.
She was stunned as soon as she picked it up and felt its obviously unusual weight.
Why is it empty?
Could it be that Sister Ziyan has already finished drinking it all and forgotten that this is empty?
"Nothing else?"
Sawamichi muttered to herself, tossed the bottle aside, and then started rummaging through other storage spaces.
Sister Ziyan's house used to have so much wine, why can't I see much of it in the bedroom this time? Could it be that she specially prepared it for Lin Qiu to sleep in after she took a liking to him?
Thinking of this, Zezhi felt a little sour in her mouth, pouted, and finally looked back at the table.
She sniffed the air, sensing the faint aroma of alcohol, and her gaze immediately locked onto the glass on the table.
It's already poured? Did Qi Xi sneak a drink?!
Oh wow - if that's the case, then I've saved myself a lot of trouble. I'll just leave it here untouched!
Just as Ze Zhi made up her mind, Qi Xi, after leaving the room, immediately rushed to the master bedroom and began to sneakily peek at what was happening inside.
Ying Ziyan, that guy, both distracted his opponent and got himself drunk; his intentions seem extremely sinister!
Is she planning to cheat on Qin Yunmo?
No, judging from their coordination, they're clearly planning to go straight for the real thing!
Under Qi Xi's gaze, Ying Ziyan inside the room also stared intently at Lin Qiu, who was sitting on the bed, and asked in a strange tone—
"Isn't the smell of alcohol on the bed a bit too strong?"
"It's alright, it was just right. Ziyan, are you sure you don't need to change?"
"No need - just fall asleep, and be careful not to roll over."
"Cough—Hmm."
Sensing the obviously awkward atmosphere in the room, Lin Qiu scratched his face somewhat awkwardly.
At this moment, I actually felt more relaxed and natural being with the class monitor!
"Huh? Xiaoxi, what are you doing here?"
Just then, Qin Yunmo's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Xiaoxi so much that she trembled.
She quickly turned around and saw Yunmo, who had already finished showering, standing behind her at some point, constantly rubbing her hair.
As soon as she called out, the two people inside noticed Xiaoxi's presence, and their sharp gazes swept over her instantly.
"Cough—I was just strolling around the living room and accidentally bumped my little toe, so I'm stopping here to rest for a bit."
Xiaoxi gave a dry explanation, trying her best to show a pained expression on her face.
Damn it, Yunmo, why are you walking so quietly!
"Did you bump your little toe? Do you want me to rub it for you?"
"You didn't just break it in half, did you...?"
Qi Xi's lips twitched. She glanced at Ying Ziyan, who was starting to walk out of the room, and without daring to linger, she darted towards the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a shower first!"
"Uh-huh--"
Not long after Qi Xi slipped into the bathroom, Ying Ziyan opened her bedroom door on the other side.
Looking at the bedding spread out on the floor, clearly enough to squeeze into a room, Qin Yunmo's gaze immediately sharpened...
155 - What did he use to block it?
"Yunmo, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"I think it's okay."
"But it will always be a bit crowded or stuffy, right?"
"Then I'll move over."
"..."
Ying Ziyan looked at Qin Yunmo, who was so close to her, and for a moment she didn't know where to begin complaining.
Didn't you say you were going to sleep in the living room? What's with you squeezing in here with me now?!
Meanwhile, Lin Qiu lay silently on the bed, not daring to move an inch. The oppressive smell of gunpowder coming from under the bed made it hard for him to breathe.
This is worse than sharing a room with Sawari!
At least Zezhi could probably fool her by stuffing something into her arms, but the two next to her look like they're about to start fighting at any moment!
While Lin Qiu was thinking about Ze Zhi, Ze Zhi was on her side...
"belch-"
A loud hiccup echoed in the room. Ze Zhi leaned back in her chair, her face flushed. The strong smell of alcohol filled the air, making Qi Xi, who was also drunk, even more confused.
"This drink... is a bit strong!"
Ze Zhi muttered in a daze, originally thinking it was just ordinary fruit wine, but she didn't expect it to be so intoxicating.
And it tasted pretty good! Before I knew it, it was all gone...
"It's a bit big, but it smells so good! We can add it to the staff meal options so they can try it whenever they have a spare moment!"
Qi Xi grumbled and then lazily collapsed onto the bed.
With her drunken eyes staring at the ceiling, she felt as if she had forgotten something important, but her sluggish brain couldn't immediately recall what she was supposed to do.
But since I can't think of it, it's probably not a big deal, so it doesn't matter!
Having given up on thinking, Qi Xi smacked her lips and looked towards Ze Zhi with a hint of lingering interest—
"More?"
"Not so good."
"Then what are you translating?"
"Well, I'm just helping you look for it. I'm always happy to help others."
Qi Xi rolled her eyes at her, but didn't think much of it. She quickly slipped into bed and lay down comfortably.
"Then I'll trouble you to find it. I'm going to take a short nap, but my limbs are starting to disobey me."
"Hey—he really is just a child, he's already so young and already can't handle it."
"No, that's not it! I just... need to digest a little so I can drink more later!"
Zezhi clearly didn't believe the little guy's nonsense, but she didn't say anything. She muttered something and then strolled out of the room unsteadily.
She had just stepped out of the house when she was stunned to see the empty living room.
What about Yunmo?
Was there any noise in the living room just now?
"Would you like to go take a look?"
"I don't really want to move..."
Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan stared at each other, neither showing any intention of moving out of their seats, as if if they did, the other would simply take over the rest of the space.
Both understood each other's meaning, and the wariness in their eyes grew even stronger.
Whoever starts it is a loser!
"Is it Sawaori wandering around outside?"
Lin Qiu couldn't help but ask, as this was a good opportunity for him to get out of there, and he didn't want to stay there any longer!
"Hmm—it could also be Xiaoxi."
"They're probably just hungry and looking for something to eat. Don't worry about it."
"I think I'll go check on them. Those two kids are so carefree; it wouldn't be good if they bumped into something."
As Lin Qiu spoke, he sat up abruptly. Before he could even get out of bed, Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan, who were on the floor, immediately glared at him.
We haven't even moved yet, and you're already trying to run away?!
"I'll go with you..."
"It's alright, you guys go to sleep, I'll be right back!"
Lin Qiu waved his hand, giving the two no chance to stop him, and darted out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
After finally escaping that suffocating atmosphere, Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced subtly at the fish-stealing cat that was still rummaging around in the living room.
"What are you doing?"
"Hmm? What a shrewd businessman—perfect, could you help me see if you have any fruit wine? Xiaoxi and I just had a really good one, I'd like to see if you still have any."
Ze Zhi mumbled something, and the strong smell of alcohol made Lin Qiu squint.
Just how much did this guy drink?
Why didn't Xiaoxi come out? Could she have already drunk herself to death?!
Where is Xiaoxi?
"She's still asleep inside, saying she'll rest for a bit and told me to look for her first."
"Are you sure she won't never wake up again...?"
Lin Qiu's lips twitched. After glancing at the direction of the master bedroom, he walked straight to the sofa and lay down comfortably.
"Oh right, Zezhi, do you have any extra bedding in your second bedroom? I'd like to spread it out in the living room."
"We seem to be out of blankets. Xiaoxi and I will share one. Why don't you come and squeeze in with us?"
"I want to get a normal night's sleep."
Lin Qiu rolled her eyes at the guy, annoyed. Although squeezing in with him was much better than suffering in the master bedroom, her sleep quality was definitely not guaranteed.
"Don't tell me you want to squeeze in with Yunmo or Sister Ziyan?"
"I didn't say that!"
"Who knows what you're thinking? - Maybe it's just not time yet. Once we get to the shops where you sleep, you can go and touch them one by one, mmm—"
Before Ze Zhi could finish speaking, Lin Qiu covered her mouth tightly, and the people inside the room had obviously heard the commotion.
If she keeps talking, I'm afraid I'll be assassinated in a night attack tonight!
What are those two doing?
Hearing Zezhi's obviously strange tone outside, the two people inside immediately perked up their ears.
"It feels like my mouth is blocked."
"What was used to block it?"
"..."
Qin Yunmo glanced at Ying Ziyan and asked, "Isn't there something wrong with your question?"
