"Of course not! There's no privacy at all. At my parents' house, I sleep in a room by myself. How can I have to share a bed with someone else at my husband's house?"

"You have to remember that men and women are different. If you sleep together right after getting married, what will happen if you start holding hands later? That's terrifying."

"This isn't a wedding, it's just trying to take advantage of someone, hahaha."

"Yes, yes, the toilets are separated for men and women, let alone the privacy issue of sleeping. We have to sleep in separate rooms, and they have to be locked."

“Here, after getting married and receiving the marriage certificate, everyone goes their separate ways. They also delete all contact information, and when it’s almost time to leave, they just notify each other to come over for the wedding banquet.”

The group chattered amongst themselves, each offering their own comment, and then burst into laughter, the sounds echoing throughout the guesthouse courtyard.

Only Leng Yue looked at the laughing group with a blank expression, muttering, "What? What did you say?"

Her eyes were full of confusion. She looked left and right, trying to find the answer on everyone's faces, her head turning back and forth like a rattle.

Seeing that Leng Yue was starting to get confused again, the group looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

......

over time,

The group grew increasingly drunk, and from sunset until nightfall, the sky gradually darkened, and stars began to appear one by one.

As night fell, the barbecue party lasted for several hours.

During this time, Zhang Ruoshui came over to greet them, then took the hands of the two little girls, Zhouzhou and Momo, and led them to bed.

Mu Shaohua looked at the empty wine bottles lying haphazardly on the table, then glanced at Leng Yue slumped over the table. She reached out and shook Lu Qingzhou, suggesting, "It's getting late. Why don't we take Leng Yue inside to rest?"

Lu Qingzhou shook his head, trying to clear his mind. "Okay, let's get Leng Yue into her room first." As he spoke, he braced himself on the table and tried to stand up.

Lu Qingzhou was about to stand up when his body swayed involuntarily.

Mu Shaohua quickly reached out and supported his arm, asking with concern, "Are you alright? Why don't you sit down for a while? I'll get you some tea to help you sober up."

Lu Qingzhou held Mu Shaohua's hand, his face full of tenderness, "Thank you, my wife."

Mu Shaohua smiled and glanced at Su Qingyao, who was leaning against Lu Qingzhou. She then stood up and gently shook Su Qingyao. "Qingyao, can you still move? Give us a hand and let's get Leng Yue inside."

Su Qingyao raised her head slightly, one hand supporting her forehead, and let out a heavy sigh. "No, I'm too dizzy to help you. You'll have to figure it out yourself. If you can't move her, just let her sleep in the yard." After saying that, she closed her eyes again, tilted her head, and leaned back in the chair.

Mu Shaohua was speechless for a moment, then sighed softly.

Lin Yinuo, who was standing next to her, took a deep breath, put her hands on her knees and stood up, saying, "Let me help you."

Mu Shaohua glanced at her and nodded. "Come on."

As soon as the two pulled Leng Yue's arm up, she grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Ugh...don't touch me." Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a strong sense of intoxication.

Mu Shaohua smiled helplessly, "Sister Lengyue, we'll take you to bed now."

Leng Yue groggily opened her eyes, her gaze hazy as if veiled by a layer of mist. She struggled to focus on Mu Shaohua's face and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Sleep, what sleep?" As she spoke, she breathed out warm air, carrying the scent of alcohol.

"You've had too much to drink, go to sleep." Lin Yinuo advised from the side, gently patting Leng Yue's back as she spoke, like soothing a sulking child.

Leng Yue glanced at Mu Shaohua again, as if her temper had suddenly flared up, and she started acting crazy while drunk, shouting loudly, "I don't want to sleep." As she spoke, she waved her arms wildly in the air, almost knocking over the empty wine glasses on the table.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Lu Qingzhou then looked at Mu Shaohua and said, "Sister Shaohua, let me do it. You go and turn on her door and the light."

Mu Shaohua glanced at Lu Qingzhou's condition, hesitated for a moment, then responded and turned to walk towards the guesthouse.

A moment later, she quickly returned, tucking her slightly disheveled hair behind her ear. "I've already tidied her room. You can carry her inside."

Lu Qingzhou carefully rested Su Qingyao's head on the chair and gently pulled out his own chair.

He walked to Leng Yue's side, bent down slightly, and shook her gently. "Leng Yue... I'm going to carry you inside to sleep. Don't move around."

Hearing Lu Qingzhou's voice, Leng Yue's heart skipped a beat, like a startled fawn. She slowly opened one eye to peek, then quickly lowered her head again.

Her cheeks, which were already flushed, became even redder, like a ripe apple.

Seeing that she didn't react, Lu Qingzhou carefully reached his hands under Leng Yue's waist and the back of her legs, and then with a forceful movement, lifted her up by the waist.

Leng Yue's pretty face pressed directly against Lu Qingzhou's chest, and she could clearly hear Lu Qingzhou's strong heartbeat.

The powerful sound made her heartbeat erratic. Her hands, however, hung limply, as if devoid of strength.

Mu Shaohua, standing to the side, said with concern in her eyes, "Be careful, don't fall."

His eyes were fixed on Lu Qingzhou and Leng Yue, and he dared not relax for a moment.

It's okay if Leng Yue falls, just don't break my man. Otherwise, tonight...

Lu Qingzhou took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, trying to clear his mind. He took each step carefully, genuinely worried that he might accidentally let Leng Yue have a close encounter with the ground.
