Luo Jiu was helped back. She walked unsteadily, smelled slightly of alcohol, and had a faint blush on her face, looking somewhat intoxicated.

The maid had just helped Luo Jiu change her clothes and lie down on the bed when the major general and his adjutant arrived.

"What's wrong with her?"

Xu Shaojun asked in a low voice, his voice still pleasant and magnetic.

"Miss Luo is probably drunk."

Xu Shaojun was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, you can go down now."

The maid obeyed and withdrew.

"You go down too."

Xu Shaojun said to Lin Fu, who was standing to the side.

Lin Fu turned his head to look at Luo Jiu, who was sleeping on the bed, and silently lowered his head to answer, "Yes, Major General."

Only Xu Shaojun and Luo Jiu, who was half asleep, remained in the room.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, soft and gentle, carrying the unique tranquility of moonlight.

Xu Shaojun moved slowly toward the room, afraid of disturbing the girl sleeping in bed.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the woman was not asleep at all.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, her fox-like eyes were full of confusion, a far cry from her usual alluring and seductive demeanor on stage.

Xu Shaojun was annoyed to see Luo Jiu looking quite drunk. He scoffed. He thought to himself:

Going out with people and coming back completely drunk, that's quite an achievement.

"Hey, which guy are you? You're pretty good-looking."

Just as Xu Shaojun's eyes showed dissatisfaction, he heard a sound coming from the bed.

Soft and chewy. Countless tenderness and charm, as if playfully teasing your heart.

"Little brother? Are you talking about me?" Xu Shaojun found the term somewhat novel. He'd been addressed by so many different names before, but this was the first time he'd heard "little brother."

"Hmm..."

Luo Jiu was so drunk that she was probably not able to understand what Xu Shaojun was saying.

"I am Xu Shaojun. Do you still recognize me?"

"It's a bit funny," Xu Shaojun said again. "Such a grown man, yet so confused when drunk."

"Xu Shaojun? No, you're not! He's a bad person."

Upon hearing this name, a glimmer of clarity suddenly appeared in Luo Jiu's eyes. She quickly denied it.

"Oh? So he's a bad person?"

Xu Shaojun was somewhat puzzled. It was true that he wasn't a good person. But... he didn't seem to have ever done anything to Luo Jiu.

On the contrary, by repeatedly getting people out of trouble, she sees herself as the bad guy. Hmm?

"Bad guy... um... I don't know."

Xu Shaojun burst out laughing upon hearing Luo Jiu's answer. He hadn't even known what he'd done wrong to be labeled a bad guy. How utterly amusing!

"Let me tell you... Xu Shaojun isn't a bad person. He's a really good guy."

Seeing Luo Jiu's dazed state, Xu Shaojun couldn't resist teasing her. He was so bored that he even tried to coax a drunk person.

"Hmm..."

Luo Jiu's eyes were unfocused, as if she didn't quite understand what Xu Shaojun was saying.

"puff!"

Luo Jiu's appearance amused Xu Shaojun. Seeing Luo Jiu like this was truly unexpected.

Xu Shaojun reached out and gently rubbed Luo Jiu's head, saying softly, "It's late, go to sleep."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

To my surprise, I had only taken one step when I felt someone grab the hem of my clothes.

Xu Shaojun turned around and saw Luo Jiu's fox-like eyes wide open, the misty tears gone. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye looked exceptionally beautiful in the moonlight.

"Xu Shaojun, do you... like me?"
