Chapter 59 A Drunken Kiss on an Autumn Night

She lost her balance and grabbed wildly, accidentally pulling at Lin Xingmian's collar—

He glanced at the sofa behind his sister, and the boy who had been standing straight as a pine tree also fell down with her. Boss Xu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he closed them tightly in fear, waiting for a sharp pain!

However, the pain I had imagined did not come.

The two, who were playfully fighting, fell together onto the soft sofa!

Mr. Xu was so overwhelmed by his younger brother's weight that he struggled to breathe, nestled in his arms, and kept wriggling around.

"Ouch! I can't breathe! I can't breathe! Get out of the way!"

He was broad-shouldered and strong; he snatched the pool cue from her hand and threw it away!

He slipped his hands under the back of his sister's neck, clasped them together, and pulled the soft girl into his arms.

The sweater had slipped off her shoulder again, and the boy gently pressed his cheek against her collarbone, inhaling her reassuring scent. He was truly afraid that all of this was just a dream!

"elder sister……"

His tone was off, and Ah Yu stopped struggling.

"Um?"

He stubbornly insisted, like a child, "I never want to wake up."

I don't want to wake up, I don't want to become Lin Xingmian.

I don't want to face the future, I don't want to leave the memories.

I don't want to be separated from my sister.

He only felt happy when she was around.

Lin Xingmian cannot live without Xu Zhiyu.

She stroked his clean, fluffy black hair. "I want to know why Xingmian was always unhappy before?"

"I've seen you smile the most in all the time I've known you. Xingmian is very happy today, isn't she?"

He nodded.

The tingling sensation from her nose rubbing against her neck made her swallow silently.

The boy looked up at her, his eyes inexplicably filled with dew, behind which lay an endless sorrow.

Her pink lips parted slightly, and her chin trembled gently.

He asked, feeling wronged and reluctant, "Will it disappear?"

My sister, my happiness.

The girl stretched out her delicate fingertips, gently brushed them across his thick eyelashes, dabbed away the sorrow overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and put them into her mouth.

She licked it; it tasted of loneliness and bitterness.

Her Starsong must have come a long way to be so outstanding.

"My darling, these beautiful eyes are always so sad, what can I do? Sister has magic..."

As Xu Zhiyu spoke, she kissed the pad of his index finger and then pressed it onto his eyelashes.

"Okay, now you won't be unhappy anymore, because I've removed all the sadness from your eyes. From now on, with me around, these eyes will only smile and won't shed tears! If they do shed tears, they'll be tears of happiness."

I'll be here for you from now on.

The boy took a deep breath and hugged her tighter, tears streaming down his neck and into her chest.

“Yes, Xingmian is very happy. These are tears of joy,” he murmured.

And silently repeat in your heart:

Sister, I love you.

.

We spent an afternoon together playing billiards.

They had plans for the evening as well.

The plan was to go out for a super luxurious dinner together, and then come back to Tian Tian Lai, where the two of them would follow a bartending tutorial they found and mix drinks and alcohol from the supermarket.

After mixing it, sit on the balcony and savor it slowly.

Unfortunately, the plans have changed.

They'll still drink together tonight, but it won't just be the two of them.

Tonight, an important person is returning from the old capital. It's Ah Yu's childhood friend and best confidante—Ma Bowen.

Xu Zhiyu and Ma Bowen were two girls who worked together in the old capital. Later, Ayu went back to her hometown, while Bowen stayed in the old capital to work.

Bowen is a typical career woman, full of energy and ambition.

However, she was usually very busy with work and often worked overtime on holidays. Ayu was worried that her ex's affairs would affect Bowen's work, so she did not take the initiative to tell her about it.

This led to Ma Bowen finding out about this from a colleague!

She buried herself in her work all day, focusing on national news and politics, and had little interest in gossip or the entertainment industry.

She overheard her colleagues gossiping about a scumbag boyfriend while she was at work. The protagonist's name sounded familiar, so she went up to ask him!

Unexpectedly, when her colleague showed her the video, she was so shocked that she stood up on the spot:

"Coming every day? Chen Siqing? Oh my god, isn't that my best friend's boyfriend??"

Ma Bo immediately called Xu Zhiyu to inquire about the truth of the matter, and the answer he received was even more unbelievable—it was actually true!

"You brat, you didn't tell me about something this important?"

"I'm going to get his dad's scissors tonight and cut that idiot's thing off!"

"You damn idiot!"

"%……&*#@"

"&*+@#￥%&*（……）"

"Beep—"

She calmed herself down and asked in a low voice, "Where is that thing now?"

Xu Zhiyu trembled: "In the hospital..."

Ma Bo asked, "Having sex reassignment surgery at the hospital? Preparing to officially become a dog?"

Xu Zhiyu: "..."

Ma Bo asked, "Who was that guy who hit him? Do you know him? Is he your friend?"

Ayu glanced at Lin Xingmian beside her and said awkwardly, "He's... a friend, um... a customer's younger brother."

Ma Bo asked, "Where are you now? At the supermarket or at home? I'll arrive around 8 PM."

Xu Zhiyu asked in surprise, "You're coming back to Mushui City? Tonight?"

Ma Bo asked, "Yes, yes, I called Su Zi to pick you up. If you want to come, take a taxi. Don't drive, no one will dare to ride with you because of your driving skills... Or you can call Su Zi now and ask her to pick you up at Huainan Alley. The three of us can go out for drinks tonight."

Ah Yu: "This is so sudden. Isn't it difficult to take leave from your company?"

She said anxiously, "You're back from the old capital, of course I have to pick you up! I'm not at the supermarket, I'm at the shopping center with a friend. It's already past six o'clock, and there's going to be traffic on the way from Su Zi's house to the airport. I'll call her right now, maybe she's already left."

Su Zi is also a very good friend of Ma Bowen, but she is only a regular friend of Xu Zhiyu. They both met through Bowen, and Bowen usually invites them both when he goes out.

Bowen and Xu Zhiyu are both outgoing and lively, while Su Zi is a bit more introverted.

Upon hearing Ah Yu say that she was with her friends, the highly intelligent Bo Wen immediately realized that Ah Yu might have already made plans with someone else today, and that she would definitely cancel her plans for the evening because of his return.

So Bo asked, "You're with your friends? Do you have any plans for tonight? It's not right to let others have fun. Why don't you invite your friends along, both boys and girls?"

Xu Zhiyu hesitated: "I have no objection, but I have to ask him if he's willing. He's a boy."

Ma Bo asked, "A boy? In that case, I can have Su Zi invite her boyfriend along too, so it won't be awkward."

Ayu thought Bowen's arrangement was quite good, so she covered the microphone and asked Xingmian:

"My best friend is coming home tonight and she's inviting me out for drinks. Are you going? It's not all girls; one of the girls' boyfriends is coming too."

"I'm not going." Lin Xingmian said subconsciously with a sour face because her plans had been ruined.

However, his gaze fell on his sister's sweater, and she mentioned that other boys were going out that night, which annoyed him: "Where are you going to drink?"

Xu Zhiyu: "A bar... huh?"

She suddenly realized something and said into the phone, "Hiss—it seems my friend can't go to the bar. He, uh… how about we come to the supermarket for a drink together?"

"The supermarket has everything, drinks and milk tea. I'll talk to the baker tonight and ask him to stay a little longer and give him a raise."

Ma Bo asked hesitantly.

Because she thought bars would be lively and have a great atmosphere, and in such an environment, it would be difficult for Ayu to think about anything sad.

She suddenly asked, "Ayu, are you feeling alright?"

Despite Bo's seemingly incoherent questions, they had been best friends for so many years, and she understood her meaning in a second.

Xu Zhiyu: "I'm fine, actually nothing's wrong."

Ma Bo asked, "You and I don't know each other well; you're both number one at showing off."

Xu Zhiyu: "Sigh. It's all in the past. This incident made me think about a lot of things and helped me grow a lot. In fact, everyone is not as simple as they seem. Everyone has another side. As for whether that other side is good or bad, that's normal and not something I can see."

Marbo asked, "Why can't your friend go to the bar?"

Xu Zhiyu: "Uh... underage?"

Ma Bo asked, "6. Mr. Xu has some influence in terms of interpersonal relationships."

Xu Zhiyu: "..."

.

Autumn nights are dry.

Fallen leaves, cool breeze, lamplight, and my beloved.

Boss Xu and Xingmian pushed the folding door of the balcony to the wall and put the three small round tables inside together.

Then, they gradually put out some braised food, barbecue, and cakes made by the baker that they bought that evening.

Ma Bowen and Su Zi arrived at the store around 9 p.m. They parked their car in front of Tiantianlai and drove onto the street.

Hearing the commotion, A-Yu quickly put down her wine glass and ran up to the small building, her joy barely concealed.

"You've arrived!"

Bowen carried the large and small bags of gifts she had brought back from the old capital and stuffed them all into Ayu's arms.

"Take these inside first, and you can open them up and look at them when you have time." After saying that, Ma Bo's nose twitched. "Wow, this barbecue smells so good... Did you change the air fresheners at the supermarket? I can smell roses too."

When roses were mentioned, Xu Zhiyu's face flushed.

She secretly glanced at the boy on the second floor. Lin Xingmian was facing away from downstairs, helping to serve dishes and such. From behind, it was not obvious, but Ayu could feel that he was grinning mischievously!

"Uh... umm, aba aba aba..." Boss Xu babbled to get through it, then turned to greet Su Zi, "Long time no see, why didn't your boyfriend come with you?"

Su Zi smiled slightly and looked out the door: "I couldn't park properly in front of the door, so he went to park at the alley entrance. He'll be here soon."

Xu Zhiyu understood: "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, it's not easy to park in this alley, so your partner will have to drive a bit further."

Su Zi: "It's okay."

Marco asked, "Alright, alright, shall we sit on the second floor? Let's go upstairs first, I'm exhausted after just getting off the plane!"

"It's all work, work, work! This time I've taken three days off! Ah Yu, you have to help me relax!"

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Okay. I'll do whatever you want!"

Lin Xingmian upstairs is jealous.

Three days?

So long?

So I can't have my sister all to myself anymore?

They're going to drink tonight, so they definitely won't be able to get up early tomorrow morning.

His plans for Sunday were ruined.

Ugh. How awful.

However... if being with good friends helps my sister stop thinking about sad things, that's good too.

The group sat down at the junction of the balcony and the interior.

The wind was a bit chilly on this early winter night, and I was surprised to find a large white light still shining on the playground of No. 1 Middle School.

In a corner of the playground illuminated by the lights, several students who love basketball are playing a game at night, their laughter and high spirits filling the air.

Hearing their laughter, Boss Xu subconsciously asked Xingmian, who was sitting next to him:

Do you play basketball? Wouldn't it be more fun to exercise with your friends?

Lin Xingmian disliked her older sister staring at other boys.

He answered stiffly with a straight face, "A little."

Mr. Xu: "Oh. Now that you're in your senior year of high school, you probably won't have much time to play. Let me know in advance when you feel like playing, and I'll cheer you on from the balcony! The view of your playground from here is pretty good."

I never expected my sister to say that.

If it's just to see him...

Of course, you can do it anytime!

"Want to see?" He turned to her side, staring intently into her eyes. "You can see it now."

Ma Bowen and Su Zi looked at them meaningfully.

Xu Zhiyu's eyes darted away. "No, no need. Let's wait until later. Let's eat first. This is too sudden."

Ma Bowen could tell in a second that there was an awkward atmosphere between A Yu and the boy.

However, instead of directly exposing her, she asked Lin Xingmian frankly, "Hello? Is this Lin, my classmate?"

Xingmian raised her eyes, glanced at her indifferently, and remained silent.

Ayu nudged him: "Mianmian, she is my best friend. Ma Bowen, you can call her Sister Bowen."

Lin Xingmian: ?

Still asking, Sister Bo?

She thought he genuinely enjoyed calling everyone "sister."

The boy's eyes flashed with anger: "Am I not your best friend?"

"..."

Lin Xingmian's short sentence suddenly stepped on Ma Bowen's sore spot.

"?" She gave a mocking laugh. "You? You weren't even born when I was hanging out with Ah Yu! The strength of our bond is unmatched. I flew back specifically to comfort my sister who got cheated on! You're just a..."

Mr. Xu was at his wits' end. How did things suddenly turn into an argument?

Fearing that her sisters might say something offensive to Xingmian, Ayu quickly advised, "Bowen! The boy who hit Shen Siqing in the video is Xingmian! He has a bit of a temper, you're older, so be more accommodating to him."

What?

Is he the handsome young man who beat the dog?

Ma Bo suddenly changed the subject, replacing the "irrelevant people" he was about to say with "handsome guy".

She chuckled and said, "Yes, handsome!"

Lin Xingmian was too lazy to argue with her and turned to look at the potted plants outside and the red water chestnuts on the camphor tree in the distance.

Things are different now, and this red water chestnut really touched him.

Recalling his state of mind during that period, he couldn't help but look down at his sister, who was sitting next to him with her legs together and her hands holding a wine glass. She was chatting and laughing with her friends about recent events.

He smiled knowingly and took a few sips of his cocktail.

A small, delicate white hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Boss Xu said sternly, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, you can't drink it. I specially made you fruit tea, why won't you drink it?"

Lin Xingmian: "I want to drink, I'll drink it in a bit."

Xu Zhiyu: "Okay, you can't drink any more of that wine."

"..."

With a serious expression, he leaned close to Boss Xu's ear and whispered a few words.

Ma Bowen and Su Zi watched as her face gradually turned red, and they were both very curious about what the boy had said to her.

But I was too embarrassed to ask.

Xu Zhiyu nodded reluctantly: "Then I can't drink too much."

Lin Xingmian smiled happily when her sister agreed, her two tiger teeth standing out prominently.

Su Zi couldn't help but say, "Does your friend have a lot of suitors? This one is quite good-looking."

Xu Zhiyu: "It's not just that he has admirers! Let me tell you, it's ridiculous! At his school, the girls actually created a group chat just for him! They share his whereabouts, daily life, and photos all the time, like they're chasing after a celebrity..."

Her exaggerated tone and funny voice made the other two laugh out loud.

From her sister's story, Xingmian could only detect a gossipy tone, not a hint of jealousy!

He was sullen and started drinking alcohol by himself.

The three girls were chatting away, and before long, the wind chimes by the door started ringing again.

Ayu: "Someone's here. It's not a guest, it must be Su Zi's boyfriend, right?"

Su Zi looked at the railing and smiled shyly.

"This is my boyfriend. He's been parked here for so long, the food's getting cold, hurry up and bring it out!"

"All the parking spaces at the alley entrance were full, so I parked in the underground parking lot in the square. Sorry I'm late!"

The man's footsteps drew closer as he went up the stairs.

Su Zi linked arms with him and introduced him to everyone: "This is Bowen, whom I often mention to you. This lady in the red sweater is the supermarket owner, we call her Ayu. And that boy is her friend."

Man: "Hello, it's my first time meeting you. It's a bit rushed."

Ma Bo generously invited him to sit in the empty seat next to Su Zi: "Hello, hello, you're too kind, we're all very casual!"

She looked at the man and felt that he seemed somewhat familiar.

Ah Yu exchanged a glance with the man, her body suddenly stiffening, and she remained silent.

She silently picked up her wine glass, her emotions suddenly becoming complicated.

Lin Xingmian noticed her sister's reaction before glancing at the man who had arrived late—

For a moment, the air seemed to stand still.

There was a buzzing sound of electric currents colliding.

After the man sat down, Su Zi shyly continued to introduce him to everyone: "This is my boyfriend, Lu Yang."

At that moment, Xu Zhiyu suddenly felt that the world was so small.

Mushui City is truly a place where enemies meet on a narrow road.

.

Tonight, Lu Yang's presence changed the nature of what could have been a relaxed drinking session where everyone could talk about anything.

Mr. Xu and Mr. Ma are two outgoing people who can talk about anything, but when it comes to her ex-boyfriend Shen Siqing, she resolutely shuts up.

After all, it's something that can't be discussed openly and is heartbreaking. How could you show such a vulnerable wound to outsiders?

But Bowen's arrival did bring her a lot of comfort. With her sister's guidance and companionship, even the most difficult nights became easier.

The drinking continued until midnight, and in the end, it was Xiao Zhao, the baker who hadn't been drinking, who drove the couple home.

Bowen hasn't told his family about returning to Mushui City yet, so Ayu arranged for him to sleep in the supermarket's warehouse tonight.

The second floor is now just a mess of leftover food.

With Bowen by his side, Mr. Xu thoroughly enjoyed his drinks tonight!

I moved a chair, dragged it wobblingly to the balcony, and plopped down on it!

He took off his leather shoes, tucked his feet into the chair, wrapped his arms around his knees, leaned back in the chair, and tried to see if there were any stars in the sky, even though he was drunk.

Young Master Lin worked diligently and conscientiously cleaned up the leftovers of his beloved Sister Xu's meal.

He threw the trash downstairs, locked the shop door, and turned off the main lights on the first floor.

Then I put the tables back in their places on the second floor and went to the bar to wash my hands.

It's no exaggeration to say that the young master of the Lin family did all the work he had ever done in his life at Tiantianlai Supermarket.

After doing everything, in this chilly night, the young master was even sweating a little!

Boss Xu stared at the darkness and muttered to himself, "Why isn't there a single star..."

She had barely finished complaining when a face that brought her instant pleasure came into view.

"Wow! There are stars..." she said, pointing to his eyes as she smiled.

Young Master Lin stood behind her chair, looking down at her as she tilted her head back, smiling with boundless affection.

"Sitting here so late at night, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

He took off his jacket and covered her with it.

"Reach out and put your hands in, it's too cold outside."

Lin Xingmian fiddled with it for a while, only to find that as soon as he finished wrapping her up, her clothes would fall off if she moved around, so he had no choice but to let her put them on.

Xu Zhiyu was unusually obedient; she put her legs down and put them into the two sleeves.

Then, suddenly.

Two small hands emerged from the jacket sleeves and covered the boy's ears, then he was suddenly pulled into the jacket's embrace!

Xingmian was shocked.

"Pop".

She lightly touched his lips.

The girl grinned mischievously: "It's so soft~"

Lin Xingmian: ? ? ?

Lin Xingmian: !!!

He took a deep breath, held his sister's slender neck with one hand, closed his eyes, and deepened the kiss.

The two are facing upside down, with their upper lips touching their lower lips.

His other hand slid down the curved armrest of the chair back, braced itself at the bottom, and held her in his arms with one hand!

His ears were covered by cold, delicate hands, and the sound of each other's breathing echoed in his mind.

Ah Yu was already feeling dizzy, and the inverted kiss exacerbated the dizziness.

The clumsy tip of the tongue lingered between the pearly teeth, while the other's skillful tongue had already probed inside.

He first moistened her lips, then pried open her pearly teeth, and seduced her clumsy nature.

She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, then bit her clumsy, gentle mouth, sucking and licking it.

The tongue coating adheres closely to the tongue, and the sensitive granules are clearly tactile.

The air was thick with the sweet scent of alcohol. She felt as if her tongue was being bitten, preventing her from speaking. The further she chased after him, the more affectionate he became.

Tender, tender, tender.

Between their skin pressed together, a long-suppressed sweetness rose, as the temperature increased and the night grew warmer.

Rows of green potted plants create the illusion of spring's arrival, and they all bloom.

"Mianmian..."

A soft call is enough to make a sober teenager lose his mind.

Sucking, sucking!

So tender, so tender!

The love was so intense that it transformed into a purple wildfire, not scalding or burning, seeking only romance and favoritism, without inflicting the slightest harm!

The long, slender fingers tightened around his throat, the suffocating pleasure overcoming the numbness of the alcohol.

"Mianmian..." the call came again.

With each call of her name, the kiss deepened.

He shed too many tears on the bitter and painful road to her.

Just give him one chance, just one.

Then he will definitely hold on tight and never let go!

Ah Yu was kissed so hard that she felt oxygen-deprived and became disoriented. She grabbed the collar of the person in front of her and pushed him away. He was reluctant to let go and loosened his grip slightly, but he still bit her lips.
