Chapter 214 Drunken Yangyang

Summer arrives quietly amidst the chirping of cicadas.

"I received it! I received it!"

Xu Mingyue rushed into Yunyang's apartment like a gust of wind, her face filled with barely suppressed elation.

She hugged Yunyang, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Yangyang! An offer from the National Academy of Fine Arts! I really got in!"

Yun Yang was almost breathless from being squeezed so tightly, but she still smiled and patted her back, genuinely happy for her.

"Mingyue, you're amazing!"

Xu Mingyue finally let go of her, leaned closer, and asked expectantly, "What about yours? Any news?"

Yun Yang smiled and shook her head.

"Mine hasn't arrived yet."

Despite the smile on her face, a slight, almost imperceptible sense of loss welled up inside her.

She let out a soft breath, suppressing her emotions.

It's okay.

The important thing is that she really mastered the skill of painting.

Recently, she has collected quite a few of Li Yuan's private drawings.

They're all on the tablet, you can look at them yourself, hehe.

"Then we must have hot pot tonight to celebrate!" Yun Yang stood up from the sofa, took Xu Mingyue's hand, and said, "To celebrate for you!"

Xu Mingyue shook her head, her attitude resolute.

"No rush, let's wait for yours. I'm sure your offer is on its way. We'll celebrate together then, it'll be a double celebration!"

Yun Yang chuckled: "What if we have to wait another month?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the apartment door was opened from the outside.

Li Yuan was standing to the side, greeting the two workers.

"Be careful, go slowly."

The workers carefully carried in a huge object, about half a person's height.

It turned out to be a brand new, empty claw machine.

Two large boxes followed behind, but it's unclear what was inside.

"Yangyang, tonight we..."

Li Yuan turned around and saw Xu Mingyue standing in the living room. He paused for a moment and raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

What brings you here?

Xu Mingyue put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at him.

"My feet are my own body, I can come and go as I please, what's it to you?"

Li Yuan gave an "Oh," his tone flat and indifferent.

"You can come now."

"Don't come tonight."

Xu Mingyue: "..."

The worker put the items down and left.

Li Yuan seemed completely oblivious to Xu Mingyue's furious glare, walked straight to the boxes, and opened one of them as if no one else was there.

Yun Yang curiously leaned over for a look.

His eyes widened in shock.

They're all cute little items.

A whole box full.

Xu Mingyue immediately took out a pink cat ear headband from the box and held it up on Yun Yang's head.

"You two are living a really happy life."

Yunyang quickly reached out to close the box.

"Don't rush to pack!"

Li Yuan pressed down on her hand.

"Why aren't you in a hurry?"

"We need to use it tonight."

"You'll definitely receive an offer today."

He reached out and pinched her cheek, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"So, we have to celebrate tonight."

After saying that, he got up and began to enthusiastically set up his own claw machine.

Yun Yang watched his retreating figure and asked with a hint of helplessness, "How can you be so sure?"

Li Yuan said with certainty, "A premonition."

"I had a feeling too!"

Xu Mingyue chimed in, throwing the headband she was holding into the box, running to Yun Yang's side, and pushing her shoulder toward the computer room.

"Yunyang, go check your email! Your good news has arrived!"

Yun Yang was amused by their charlatan-like remarks.

"Since you two are so accurate with your predictions, why don't you start a live stream and make money by telling fortunes?"

That's what she said, but her heart was still racing uncontrollably.

What if?

What if it really comes?

...

"ah--!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the entire apartment.

Xu Mingyue immediately came over, and when she saw the words "admission notice" on the screen, she was even more excited than Yun Yang herself.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

She hugged Yunyang tightly, laughing and jumping.

"Yun, we're schoolmates now! See you at school!"

Yun Yang's mind was still a little dazed. She felt as if she were walking on clouds, light and unreal.

Did she really get accepted?

A hand reached out and gently pinched Xu Mingyue's sleeve, pulling her away from Yun Yang.

Li Yuan leaned down and pulled Yun Yang, who was still sitting blankly in the chair, into his arms from behind.

"Yangyang is great."

His deep voice rang in her ear, filled with a deep smile and undisguised pride.

A warm kiss gently landed on the top of her head.

At that moment, Yunyang's eyes suddenly reddened.

She turned around, hugged Li Yuan tightly around the waist, and buried her face in his chest.

I'm so happy! She only took a year!

Yun Yang suddenly stood up: "I'll call my parents right away."

...

night.

Li Yuan also called Jin Jilu over.

The four people sat around a steaming hot pot, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

"Come on! Let's drink to our genius painters, Yun Yang and Xu Mingyue!"

Li Yuan raised his wine glass, his eyes full of smiles.

"cheers!"

A crisp sound of glass colliding rang out.

Yun Yang didn't like drinking and had almost no tolerance for alcohol, but she was so happy today that she couldn't help but drink some. In addition, Li Yuan kept coaxing her, and she drank one cup after another. Soon, her fair cheeks were tinged with a beautiful blush, and her eyes began to become hazy.

She slowly reached out with her chopsticks, trying to pick up a small piece of crispy pork.

As a result, it slipped off the tip of the chopsticks several times.

After finally managing to pick it up, I discovered that the piece of meat was mushy.

She sighed and muttered to herself.

"Sigh, my cooking skills have deteriorated."

Some of the fried food was burnt.

Li Yuan, who was sitting next to her, also had a slight blush on his face.

Hearing this, he chuckled softly, put his arm around Yun Yang's shoulder, and pulled her closer to him.

He took her hand that was holding the chopsticks and wrapped her five fingers in his palm.

"Because Yangyang's hands will be used for drawing in the future."

Yunyang is wearing a blue and white checkered dress today. The skirt has two layers, with a hazy white gauze underneath, like mist.

Li Yuan's other hand was not idle either; his slender fingers were placed on the thin veil.

He stared intently at Yun Yang, his lips barely moving.

Xu Mingyue frowned as she looked at the two lovey-dovey people opposite her and nudged Jin Jiluo next to her with her elbow.

"Look at the way he looks."

She muttered in a low voice.

“If we’re not here now, he’ll take his clothes off right away.”

Kim Ki-ro didn't even glance at him, focusing intently on the food in his bowl.

Xu Mingyue looked over and was immediately dumbfounded.

This guy didn't even wait for the meat and vegetables in the pot to cook. He picked up lettuce leaves, rolled them in the sesame sauce, and then stuffed them into his mouth without any expression.

"Hey, you! You're insulting hot pot!"

She pointed at Kim Ki-ro, heartbroken.

"If you just want lettuce with dressing, why don't you go to the salad shop downstairs?"

Kim Ki-ro swallowed the lettuce in his mouth, looked up, and glanced at her expressionlessly.

The next second, he suddenly stood up and grabbed Xu Mingyue's wrist.

"We're full."

"Take your time eating."

"I'm not full!" Xu Mingyue protested loudly, trying to break free from his grip.

Kim Ki-ro did not let go, and kept muttering to himself.

"Didn't you say you wanted to repay me for tutoring you in English?"

"The opportunity to repay your kindness has arrived."

"Don't be a third wheel here."

Xu Mingyue stumbled as he dragged her, and the sound grew fainter and fainter.

"What kind of repayment is this! I wanted to dye your hair! Your damn black hair, blonde hair suits you better..."

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and the apartment fell silent instantly.

Yunyang braced herself against the table, swaying as she tried to stand up.

"Shen Mingyue...how did she get arrested..."

She spoke incoherently.

"Come back...it's safer to stay in Xiaoyuan...I'll protect you..."

Li Yuan held her soft waist and gently pulled her down onto his lap.

"Yangyang, you're drunk."

He reached out and tidied her messy hair.

"That's Xu Mingyue."

Yun Yang had little strength and leaned limply against Li Yuan's broad chest, inhaling the pleasant, faint scent of alcohol emanating from him.

"Why...did she change her surname?"

Li Yuan was amused by her adorable, tipsy appearance.

"You're the one who changed it for her."

Yun Yang's eyes were almost closed, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like two small fans.

"Really... I'm amazing..."

Li Yuan lowered his head and placed delicate kisses on her cheeks, from her forehead to the tip of her nose, and then to the corners of her soft lips.

"Yangyang, don't sleep."

His voice was hoarse, with a hint of seduction.

"We haven't gone to collect the reward yet."

He picked Yunyang up and carried her steadily into the bedroom.

The brand-new claw machine stands quietly in the corner of the bedroom, emitting an ambiguous glow under the warm yellow light.

Li Yuan helped Yun Yang stand in front of the claw machine, held her hand, and manipulated the joystick, trying to grab a pink polka-dot mini-skirt from inside.

The claws moved shakily.

After being tossed around like that, Yun Yang became a little more awake.

She looked at the black outfit inside and wrinkled her nose.

"I don't want this."

She pushed Li Yuan's hand away, a sly glint in her drunken eyes.

"I'm going to play with you today."

After saying that, she took control of the joystick and aimed it at a box containing a men's necklace in the corner.

"We've got him!"

With a clatter, the box fell into the exit, and Yunyang shouted excitedly.

Li Yuan smiled and took out the box.

"Yangyang, are you sure you want this?"

He opened the box, waved it in front of her, and said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"If you choose this, you're going to have a tough night."

Yun Yang nodded without hesitation.

"Absolutely certain."

Li Yuan chuckled as he opened the box.

Besides the delicate chain, there was also a folded little note inside.

He unfolded the note, which read: Wheelchair.

Yun Yang: "?"

She pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Where did this wheelchair come from..."

Li Yuan gently placed her on the soft sofa, then turned and walked into the dressing room.

A short while later, a slight electric humming sound began to emanate from the engine.

Li Yuan actually sat in a black electric wheelchair and slowly slid out.

He met Yun Yang's surprised gaze, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Get in."

Seeing his expression, Yun Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Are these things on your mind all day long?"

Li Yuan stood up, walked to her, and picked her up from the sofa in a practiced and domineering manner.

"Is there anything wrong with missing my wife?"

He sat back in his wheelchair and placed Yunyang on his lap.

Yun Yang felt weak all over under his gaze, and buried her face in his neck helplessly, uttering two words in a muffled voice.

"Bad guy."

He whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse as if he were playing a fine cello.

"I can do better, or worse."

...

"Ahhh... sir... I can't take it anymore... please let me go..."

What did you call me?

The man's breath brushed against her small, rounded earlobe.

"Say it again."

Yun Yang murmured aloud.

"gentlemen……"
