Yu Mobai listened silently as Dong Yike continued talking until the very end, when she said with some self-reproach, "If I could have stopped Sister Mushu, she wouldn't have left."

"Wow."

Yu Mobai patted the little head in his arms, "Big sister is really the most responsible, she goes to so much trouble."

"Pah, what big sister?"

Dong Yike got up and combed her messy hair. "I am the Empress."

"May Your Majesty the Empress be blessed."

Yu Mobai said in a cheeky, high-pitched voice.

"Get lost!"

Dong Yike laughed and hit him lightly, "It sounds awful, what are you pretending to be, some kind of eunuch from the Eastern Depot?"

Just as Yu Mobai was about to speak, his phone rang.

"Which girl is calling you so late? Don't they know you picked me tonight?"

[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]

Dong Yike climbed over and took a look. When she saw that it was Zhang Siyao's name, she didn't care. "So it was my sister-in-law who summoned me."

Yu Mobai answered the phone with a smile, "What's up?"

"Brother, are you still with Sister Dong?"

Zhang Siyao asked.

"Okay, what's up?"

Yu Mobai glanced at Dong Yike.

"Chen Zhixi drank too much outside the school and threw up several times. She kept insisting on seeing you."

Zhang Siyao said.

"What does her being drunk have to do with me?"

Yu Mobai was about to hang up the phone when he said, "You can go."

"I'm right here now."

Chen Zhixi was a little anxious, "but a few boys at the school gate insisted on helping me and even tried to pull me away."

"Damn, where are you?"

Yu Mobai frowned slightly. "You wait for me there. Don't wander off."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Yike wanted to go with him, but Yu Mobai refused, saying, "If you go, I'll worry about you. You're worried about me right here at the school gate?"

Dong Yike clenched her fists and said angrily, "If those idiots bully my sister-in-law, you beat them to death for me."

"I'm much more violent than you."

Yu Mobai waved and left in a hurry.

When he arrived at the school gate, he immediately saw Chen Zhixi and Zhang Siyao.

There were three boys at the table staring at them.

To be precise, they were keeping an eye on Chen Zhixi.

Chen Zhixi didn't know how much she had drunk; she leaned drunkenly against Zhang Siyao, clinking glasses with the other three.

"elder brother!"

Zhang Siyao waved, "You've finally arrived."

Yu Mobai walked over with a sullen face and immediately recognized one of the boys.

He Guangzhi, the boy who competed with him for the class monitor position during freshman military training.
