In fact, Bai Lu doesn't need to worry about Shang Chuyao at all.

Who is Xiao Dazhuang? He's an honest, simple-minded man. Even if you gave him a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to take advantage of someone in distress and bully Shang Chuyao.

His terrifying experience of almost being dragged into an alley in his early years taught him how formidable women can be.

Since then, the honest man has maintained an extremely safe distance from the girl.

What's more, there's Grandpa Hu and Xiao Wei there too.

Accidents and the like are nipped in the bud.

However, Shang Chuyao was still helped back to Yingkelou by Xiao Dazhuang. After all, when people are drunk, they have less strength and it is difficult for them to walk.

Xiao Wei and Grandpa Hu followed behind, admiring the scenery.

Cheers, Da Zhuang!

"You're drunk. Your sister-in-law said she wants to go back to her room to sleep. Let's do it another time."

"Can't you speak for yourself? Why is it always either your mother or your sister-in-law who speaks?"

“I only listened to my mother and sister-in-law because they were right, not because I blindly followed them.”

Shang Chuyao paused, her hazy, drunken eyes wide as she stared at Xiao Dazhuang, her expression shifting from shock to hesitation.

This kind of powerful explanation, which clarifies the reason and sets the right position in a single sentence, is something an honest person would never come up with.

"Who taught you that phrase?"

Xiao Dazhuang helped Shang Chuyao up properly. Perhaps because he had drunk some alcohol, he spoke more honestly, without thinking at all: "My sister-in-law told me not to tell you."

Shang Chuyao: "..."

Xiao Wei and Grandpa Hu: "..."

That's the advantage of honesty. Being honest and straightforward is much better than a scumbag who's full of lies.

Shang Chuyao brainwashed herself.

My brain was full of alcohol, but it was thoroughly cleansed.

Xiao Wei and Grandpa Hu saw him off to the very end, only stopping at Yingkelou to sit on the sofa.

Less than three seconds later, Xiao Dazhuang, who had helped Shang Chuyao upstairs into her room, ran downstairs.

He didn't even stop when he got to the living room, and hurriedly said goodbye as he ran: "Grandpa Hu, Xiaowei, I'm going back now, you two get some rest."

"Won't you sit for a while?"

Xiao Wei stared at the bright red face that flashed by in front of him: "Or perhaps a cup of tea to sober up?"

"No, my mom will worry if I don't go back soon."

The fleeing figure disappeared into the night.

Xiao Wei and Grandpa Hu exchanged a glance.

Hehe~ That's interesting!

Bai Lu upstairs was even more interesting. After drinking, she hugged Xiao Cheng and started kissing him wildly, saying that she realized her mistake of secretly tasting the wine and sincerely apologized.

They are actually playing with fire.

Fortunately, Xiao Cheng's composure was beyond that of ordinary people; he could still distinguish what was more important.

"What does Lulu want to talk to me about?"

Bai Lu's hands were grabbed, pulled away from his alluring, well-defined collarbones, and she was shoved into the blanket, thrusting into his cool, refreshing embrace. She enjoyed the pampering of being imprisoned by the big boss, her flushed face completely bewildered.

"What's up?"

Xiao Cheng looked into the girl's eyes, which were misty with the smell of alcohol, and released his hand to feel her forehead. It was at room temperature.

He got up and got out of bed.

"Lie still and don't move."

How could Bai Lu possibly listen to reason and get out of bed as she pleased? "Where are you going?"

As soon as Xiao Cheng took a step, he was hugged from behind by a pair of slender hands, and his little tail followed behind.

“Go make some honey water,” he explained.

"Is this for me?" the little tail behind me asked as we walked.

Xiao Cheng responded with an "Mm," slowed his pace, went to the counter, opened the honey jar, poured it into a cup, added warm water, stirred it with a small spoon, and then turned back to feed Little Tail.

The little tail obediently drank it; whether it made him sober or not is unknown, but in any case, he finally remembered the important matter.

"Acheng, I have something important to tell you."

Xiao Cheng was washing cups when Bai Lu slipped into his arms and looked up at him with a smile.

"I'm going to take you to meet my parents."

She wasn't saying "go home to meet his parents," but rather, "take him to meet his parents."

Xiao Cheng casually put the cup on the table, dried his hands, and carried her back to bed.

After pulling the covers up, she spoke softly, "How do I see you?"

Bai Lu nestled in his arms and whispered, "Let's meet secretly."

"We're married, but we haven't told Mom and Dad yet, and we haven't even served them tea. I'm just taking you to see them from afar, and that'll count as telling them..."

Looking into the girl's eyes, filled with cautious anticipation, and as she carefully shared this precious secret with him, Xiao Cheng felt his heart tighten and hugged her tightly.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Bai Lu smiled happily, patted his head, and continued to whisper to him, "Mom and Dad don't recognize me now, so we can't offer them wedding tea. When we see them, we'll just offer it in our hearts..."

"good."

"I wonder if Rabbit will come. Ah Cheng probably doesn't know yet, but I have a little brother named Rabbit. He has big, bright eyes, a rosy face, and tiny arms and legs. He's incredibly cute. Rabbit is four years old this year. I wonder if he'll come with his parents."

Yes, it will.

"That would be great! I want to take Acheng to meet my parents, to meet my mom, dad, and younger brother..."

"Okay, go to sleep, Lulu, be good..."

...

There are many kinds of aftereffects of drunkenness.

The doctor had mentioned that symptoms of Bailu's drunkenness included sudden fever, drowsiness, abnormal excitement, amnesia, and vomiting. The most prominent characteristic of Bailu's drunkenness this time was vomiting.

Xiao Cheng barely slept all night.

During the first half of the night, pay close attention to Bailu's body temperature changes, and during the second half of the night, take care of Bailu who has vomited alcohol.

Bai Lu was also feeling unwell, vomiting until her face turned blue and her limbs felt weak. Even eating wontons for breakfast couldn't make up for it.

"I swear, I will never drink again, not even a drop."

The car stopped at the foot of Xiaojia Village. A mountain breeze blew through the open car window into the back of the car, bringing a bit of clarity to the two girls who were slumped over each other.

"I'm not drinking anymore either."

With her stomach churning, Shang Chuyao hooked her little finger around Bai Lu's: "Let's keep an eye on each other."

Bai Lu agreed: "Supervision is necessary."

Xiao Cheng, in the driver's seat, and Xiao Wei, in the passenger seat, each had a bottle of mineral water, which they unscrewed and passed to each other.

"Have some water, get out of the car and get some fresh air."

Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao drank some water, opened the door and got out of the car. Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang also arrived in their truck.

They needed to load bamboo shoots, so they drove a truck.

"Is your sister-in-law carsick?" Luo Shiliu's eyes widened in surprise. "She doesn't look too good!"

"It's nothing, a mountain breeze will do the trick." Bai Lu waved her hand, and the mountain breeze refreshed her.

Once she regained consciousness, she saw Xiao Dazhuang peeking at Shang Chuyao, seemingly wanting to ask her a question but not daring to.

He hesitated for a moment, then greeted Shang Chuyao and answered her questions about the competition rules and venue before heading towards Xiao Family Village.

Xiao Wei and Luo Shiliu also went.

There's a big event happening in Xiaojia Village today, and the lively laughter and chatter have already echoed through the mountains.

Xiao Cheng had an appointment with Old Master Huo today to discuss work at Tianshang. Bai Lu said goodbye to him and was about to leave when Xiao Wei was still ahead, looking back at her every few steps.

As I turned around, I saw the big boss in a suit and tie, but he was missing his tie.

Where's your tie?

Bai Lu glanced at his wrist subconsciously, even though she had been watching him tie it that morning.

"Where's the watch? Where did it go again?"
