57 Nebbiolo

◎I like you so much.◎

“…”

Shao Yue didn't answer her immediately. Under the ambiguous light, his beautiful eyes seemed filled with infinite affection. Liang Youwei met his gaze, breathing close, and then she heard his voice.

"I have no idea."

It’s not “can’t” or “don’t want to”, but “I don’t know”.

Liang Youwei's brain suddenly "came alive".

Did he... like her? Or was he shy and didn't like her? However, it didn't seem to matter.

After being with Qin Zhen, Liang Youwei found that her view on love had changed a lot - perhaps Qin Zhen stimulated her deepest side.

In the past, Liang Youwei pursued a romantic fairytale. She believed that love between two people required many things, such as spiritual resonance and undivided attention. But after she fell in love, she suddenly realized that even without these things, it was not a big deal.

After all, the facts have proved that Liang Youwei is not a suitable person for spiritual communication.

When Liang Jingyi tried to communicate with her about the darkness of this world, her confusion was obvious. She could only look at him with a look that was three parts disgust, three parts confusion, and four parts compromise, and then said, "Forget it, let's watch some funny videos."

As for Qin Zhen, he had never had any "spiritual communication" with her since they were little. So far, their physical and material interactions had been more frequent. And Liang Ting'an, needless to say, simply wanted Liang Youwei to live a happy life. As long as she stayed away from pornography, gambling, drugs, or investing, it didn't matter what she studied or did.

Over time, Liang Youwei no longer spent a lot of time trying to understand men's inner feelings and past experiences. It was enough for them to be handsome, sexy and rich.

However, Liang Jingyi should be an exception. Liang Youwei didn't understand what she said, but she listened carefully with great patience.

But Shao Yue is not Jingyi. Liang Youwei doesn't know what Shao Yue thinks, nor does she care much about it. But if they can fall in love, she will be very happy.

How handsome he is, and what a nice title it is to conquer the prodigal.

A long-lost excitement surged up, and the beautiful dream of her youth was no longer a dream. Liang Youwei could hardly control her trembling fingers. She deliberately looked away first, trying to keep her breathing steady. Then, she slowly picked up the goblet and took a sip.

The Nebbiolo's flavor was so rich that just one sip was enough to make Liang Youwei dizzy. A faint pomegranate red, tart, astringent, icy, and with an undeniable floral and fruity aroma—a floral and fruity aroma that had to be savored carefully to be detected, with hints of roses in it.

How to describe it? He is exactly the same as Shao Yue.

Liang Youwei really likes this feeling.

So, she took another sip.

Shao Yue straightened up, stood beside her, and watched her drink at least three glasses of red wine quietly.

The girl's body was already swaying slightly, a sway that was unnoticeable even from the chair she was sitting on. She couldn't hold the glass steady, and it made a crisp sound that made people's hearts tremble, as if they were being pinched.

The pale and delicate side of her face was flushed, and her slightly plump lips were opening and closing, and one could even catch a glimpse of the tip of her tongue deep inside.

Shao Yue's gaze stayed on a place where it shouldn't have stayed for too long, and he was shocked to realize that he was not much better than Qin Zhen.

I was so scared and ashamed.

The man laughed at himself, his eyes darkening.

However, Weiwei wasn't a simple girl anymore. Qin Zhen, Liang Ting'an, one after another... The pure and white moon in her heart didn't care much about ethics and morals.

If that’s the case, can he also take a few steps forward?

"Shao Yue." Yueliang's breathing suddenly became rapid, interrupting her thoughts. Her hand also grabbed his cuff and tightened the mother-of-pearl button.

It was scorching hot, like a heartbeat.

"I……"

She uttered a word, then suddenly stopped. Shao Yue exerted force on his wrist, pulled her up, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Liang Youwei fell silent.

Shao Yue wanted to get closer to her, but years of habit prevented him from doing anything extraordinary. At most, he just prepared himself mentally and then held her hand.

But it is obvious that he did not do enough psychological preparation.

Because Liang Youwei can no longer distinguish between reality and dreams.

She saw her soul floating in the air, swinging back and forth, staring at it made her dizzy, so she simply pulled it down by force. The soul swayed, and her body, as if by magic, made a certain determination.

The next moment, she hugged Shao Yue and pressed her face, which was hot from the alcohol, against his chest.

"I like you so much."

Shao Yue, who was already stiff from the hug, became even more tense, and all the muscles in his body started to move out of place.

But Nebbiolo was too strong and Liang Youwei had a low alcohol tolerance. After three cups, she was already intoxicated and didn't notice anything was wrong.

She rubbed it unconsciously, and kept talking: "Shao Yue, I really like you... Do you like me? No, you definitely like me... How much do you like me?"

She murmured, her words slurred, each syllable tightly wrapped in pink bubbles and soaked in syrup.

Shao Yue had never imagined that Liang Youwei would react like this after getting drunk. The calmness and composure he had always possessed vanished at this moment. The man was even a little overwhelmed, his hands and feet no longer belonging to him.

Liang Youwei was dissatisfied with his dullness and looked up at him: "Speak up, don't pretend to be dumb."

When he met her eyes filled with turbulent emotions and sincere devotion, Shao Yue was overwhelmed with emotions. The courage and frivolity inspired by Nebbiolo disappeared at the same time.

Perhaps, the entanglement between Liang Youwei and Qin Zhen Liang Ting'an was not her original intention, and she is still the bright moon.

Liang Youwei is so sincere and beautiful, and she puts everyone in her heart. For such a good person, even if she is taken advantage of, it is not her fault.

But what should he say now? "I like you, too"? However, once such words are spoken, they must bear the corresponding consequences. But with so many people around Liang Youwei, can he lead her out of this chaotic "quagmire"?

She has never had her own opinions on major issues, just like the weak dodder. Liang Ting'an and Qin Zhen are difficult to deal with at work, let alone in private?

Liang Ting'an, as Liang Youwei's apparent older brother and the undisputed successor to the Liang family, had increasing power. With Liang Zhihui, a fellow interest group, he could completely control her marriage. If he wanted to, he would have countless reasons to refuse this marriage.

Qin Zhen, the sole heir of the Qin family, had created a nationally popular game before he was twenty. He had capitalized on the internet and the youth economy, making a killing, while driving all his half-siblings into the gutter. It was unknown whether he had any personal involvement. This kind of person was no less dangerous than Liang Ting'an.

And he? He has nothing.

Shao Yue felt deeply incompetent.

Knowing that he had not yet found an opportunity to fall in love with Liang Youwei, he took the opportunity to try to win her heart when he learned that she had broken up with Qin Zhen.

In their circle, love and marriage are never a matter of two people. In the Shao family, neither parents nor brothers will support him.

Shao Qing has inherited most of Wangheng's assets and married Zhao Lingti, the eldest daughter of Xintai. This grand marriage between wealthy families is already eye-catching enough, so Shao Yue can no longer have too much involvement with the daughter of the Liang family, who is also from a top wealthy family.

Desire and reason clash, burning into a continuous wildfire.

But Liang Youwei knew nothing about it. She said innocently: "Don't you like me?"

Without waiting for an answer, she spoke affirmatively. Because she had been drinking, her words were intermittent: "You must like me, right? If you don't like me, how could you be so nice to me? Lower your head, look at me, Shao Yue..."

At the end of her speech, she was even anxious and started to cry.

“Weiwei…”

Shao Yue rested his chin on the top of her head, feeling helpless. He wanted to tell her all his thoughts, but he was afraid that she couldn't bear it.

"Would you like to hear my thoughts?"

Liang Youwei did not answer.

The man's eyelashes trembled. He prepared for the worst, then lowered his brows, and then he saw Liang Youwei sleeping.

Can she actually fall asleep while standing?

Shao Yue was shocked.

She uttered an unclear syllable: "Dear..."

Shao Yue heard it clearly, his brain buzzing. What did Liang Youwei mean? Did she want him to kiss her? But, they weren't even in a relationship yet, how could they do something so intimate?

Shao Yue stroked her back and gradually relaxed in this ambiguous atmosphere.

Right at this moment.

"Clap. Clap. Clap." A round of applause rang out, accompanied by a smiling tone, "What a loving and affectionate person."

His face instantly turned cold, and Shao Yue's eyes froze as he glanced at her without any warmth, his grip increasing uncontrollably. The woman in his arms whimpered, and he immediately came back to his senses, relaxed again, and patted her back gently.

Yu Youbai was watching the fun and was surprised: "Boss Qin, so the ex-girlfriend you've been looking for all night is here."

"It wasn't a whole night," Qin Zhen, dressed in a pure white suit, said calmly, surprisingly calmly, "it was just over half an hour."

She walked over with her straight, slender legs to Shao Yue's side, and said with just the right amount of gratitude: "Thank you for taking care of Weiwei for the past half hour. Now, please let me take her back to rest."

Shao Yue didn't move, but raised his eyelids: "You took her back? Is it to rest or to get some new fatigue?"

He's dressed so flashily, everyone knows what he's going to do.

"Will it be safe and reliable if I go back with you?" Qin Zhen curled his lips in disdain. "At the very least, let her make her own choice."

After saying this, without giving Shao Yue any room to refute, he lowered his eyes and called out coldly, "Liang Youwei, wake up."

"Hmm?" She heard the call and fluttered her eyelashes.

Qin Zhen asked calmly, as if he were an outsider: "Who do you want to take you to rest?"

His tone was so straightforward that Shao Yue didn't know where his confidence came from. He wanted to mock him, but the next second, the girl in his arms spoke.

"relative……"

Why are you asking for a kiss again? Although the situation was inappropriate, Shao Yue still felt a subtle sense of happiness deep in his heart. However, before he could enjoy this happiness for a moment, Liang Youwei spoke again.

"Zhen..."

Shao Yue was stunned.

The man whose name was called suddenly sneered: "Did you hear that? Shao Yue." Confident, she reached out and put Liang Youwei's slender arm behind her neck, picking her up by the waist.

Shao Yue did not stop him, and he had no right to stop him.

Especially when he saw Liang Youwei taking the initiative to get closer to Qin Zhen and rubbing him with her soft cheek.

"Let's go back, okay?" Qin Zhen's voice suddenly became soft, filled with infinite peace of mind. Liang Youwei could only hear the hazy voice, but she could recognize its owner and responded softly: "Okay."

As he spoke, he hugged her tighter.

“Wow.”

Looking at Qin Zhen's tall and straight back, Yu Youbai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed that Liang Youwei's emotional state was even more confusing than that of "open-minded" foreigners.

"Mr. Yu, please remain silent about everything that happened tonight. Thank you." Shao Yue's face showed no obvious emotion. He nodded at him politely, "Finally, good night."

Yu Youbai was suspicious and called out to him directly: "Mr. Shao, I want to ask you a question."

Shao Yue stopped and turned around.

"please."

A sincere smile spread across his handsome face, resembling a Greek god. "Do you think I could join this competition?"

Shao Yue: "...Are you sick?"

Yu Youbai smiled: "No. I simply thought Liang Youwei would be an interesting woman, both in bed and outside of it."

Shao Yue's face turned cold again: "Get lost."

This time, no matter how Yu Youbai called him, he ignored him.

【Author’s words】

Shao Yue was conflicted. He was open-minded but reserved in his behavior. In his mind, true love meant marriage, so he needed a certain level of confidence to be with Weiwei. But now, he had had enough of Qin Zhen's overt and covert displays of affection, and his desire to be closer to Weiwei was at its peak. So, whenever he had the chance, he rushed to meet her.

(Although I haven’t written about Qin Zhen’s show-off, given his personality, it’s impossible for him not to show off.)

ps: This imported fish is not qualified to compete. There are already enough people here now, hahaha. And considering the fish's growth environment, it must be unclean. I feel that no one will like its complete form.

PPS: The more I think about it, the more I think the name "Imported Little Fish" is so clever. The first little angel who used it is really a genius~ [Spread flowers]
