Chapter 41: Throwing Winks at the Blind
Yu Jing had been waiting downstairs for a long time. When she saw Yang Cici coming out, she hurried forward.
But before I got close, the smell of alcohol hit me in the face.
She covered her nose and widened her eyes: "No? You are still drinking at your uncle's house?"
Yang Cici stood obediently with her bag on her back. Her cheeks were flushed and even her earlobes were tinged with drunkenness. Under her slightly trembling eyelashes, her amber eyes were covered with a layer of mist, which made her look a little blurry under the dim light.
She blinked hard and said, "I drank a little."
Yu Jing: “…”
Are you sure it's just a little bit? Why does the smell of alcohol seem even stronger than the last time they had barbecue?
She walked over and waved, "Are you still conscious?"
Yang Cici nodded seriously: "Yes."
Yu Jing pointed at herself: "Then who am I?"
"Yu Jing."
"Where is this?"
"My uncle's house."
Well, it seems he's still somewhat conscious.
She put the bag on her back and held the girl's arm as they walked towards the car. "No, why did you drink? No wonder you asked me to pick you up."
Yang Cici turned her head and smiled with her eyes curved, but she didn't tell the reason.
Being attacked by beauty at close range, Yu Jing expressionlessly turned her hand away from the girl's soft face and said, "Go away, don't be silly."
Yang Cici pouted in grievance, "Do you dislike me?"
"Yeah." Yu Jing nodded seriously, "I dislike drunkards."
"I'm not an alcoholic."
"You'll be there soon."
After putting everyone in the car and fastening their seat belts, Yu Jing sat in the driving seat and turned around to see a "drunk" looking at his cell phone.
"What are you looking at? Stop looking at your phone when you're drunk."
Yang Cici leaned her head against the window, stared at the screen with her eyes lowered, and then slowly went out.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Yu Jing, do you have any reason to call someone casually?"
Yu Jing wondered what reason was needed for this thing.
Just call someone randomly and make them feel confused.
"You're drunk and still considering rationality. If you make a call, people will know you're drunk and dialed the wrong number just by hearing your voice."
Yang Cici straightened up and stared at her eagerly, "Is this okay?"
Yu Jing was staring intently at the road in front of her. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, why don't you try—"
"Beep..." The tail end of her tone was instantly drowned out by the ringing of the phone.
Yu Jing was startled and quickly turned around to look.
"No, you really did? Who did you call?"
Could it be Pei Yanchuan? Drunk and calling an ex-boyfriend, that's a classic.
The next second, the call was connected.
A strange and puzzled female voice came from the other end: "...Yang Cici?"
Yu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately it wasn’t Pei Yanchuan.
The next second, I heard the drunk next to me say happily: "Li Xuanmeng! Have you eaten dinner?!"
She paused, frowned, and glanced to the side.
Why does this name sound so familiar?
On the other side, Li Xuanmeng was inexplicably concerned about whether she had eaten dinner:?
She glanced at the man who was staring at her coldly, raised her eyebrows and answered the call.
"I've eaten. What's the matter with you calling me?"
Is Yang Cici drunk? Why does she seem to be talking incoherently?
Yang Cici looked out the window and said cheerfully, "It's nothing, actually. I just wanted to thank you for telling me the method last time!"
"Method?" Li Xuanmeng thought carefully for a while before realizing that the other party was talking about the method of how to avoid abnormal anger.
Realizing this, Li Xuanmeng silently lowered the volume.
She sighed at the system's own cleverness: "It's a good thing I didn't turn on the hands-free mode just now, otherwise Pei Yanchuan would have heard it."
Looking at the male protagonist's cold eyes, the system silently added: [Don't you think it makes no difference whether it's on or off? You deliberately called out Pei Yanchuan's name in front of him, why don't you look at his expression now...]
Hearing this, Li Xuanmeng took a quick glance and instantly met a pair of dark and calm dangerous eyes.
She paused and looked away as if nothing had happened.
[It's just a minor issue. I didn't say anything.]
Anyway, as long as she doesn't step into Pei Yanchuan's minefield, her actions can be regarded as promoting their relationship.
Pei Yanchuan wanted to pretend to be a normal person in front of others, so she just had to help him with that.
But...why would Yang Cici call me when she was drunk? Wasn't she home for dinner?
Li Xuanmeng cleared her throat: "Are you... drunk?"
As soon as the words came out, Pei Yanchuan's eyes narrowed.
He looked down at his phone, his eyes landing on the latest payment.
It was a convenience store, and it was more than ten kilometers away from here.
Pei Yanchuan knew that place; it was Uncle Cici's residence, so he came here today.
How could Cici get drunk there?
Pei Yanchuan frowned, and Li Xuanmeng's shocked voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Huh?? You're coming back soon?!"
He paused, then slowly raised his eyes, his gaze unclear.
Li Xuanmeng was unusually panicked. [No, system, what's going on? If she comes back now, won't she catch Pei Yanchuan and I meeting downstairs?]
If she was discovered, Pei Yanchuan would blame her again! The relationship that had finally improved would fall to freezing point again!
And wasn't he going home? Why did he come back so soon? Didn't he want something dramatic to happen before he came back?
The system remained indifferent: [Wow, congratulations to the host, you unlocked the Shura Field scene in advance!]
Li Xuanmeng: […Get away.]
She didn't even care about Pei Yanchuan next to her. She asked the girl on the other end of the phone with a smirk, "When will you be back?"
Yang Cici opened the windows a little, and the cool evening breeze blew on her face, slightly dispelling the drunkenness.
She checked the time, "About... seven or eight minutes."
Seven or eight minutes?
So fast?
After hanging up the phone, Li Xuanmeng looked at the man next to her, "You heard it too, Yang Cici will be back soon. Pei Yanchuan, since I promised you not to tell Yang Cici the truth, you don't have to be so wary of me. I always keep my word."
She raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms playfully, "Of course, don't forget, you promised to cooperate with me. When the time comes, in front of Pei Yushan, I will certainly cooperate with you and act like we're in love."
In response to her words, the man just raised his eyelids and glanced at her casually, then looked back at his phone.
“…”
The system mocked mercilessly: [Throwing a wink at a blind man, hahahaha.]
Li Xuanmeng: “…”
Dead system, which side are you on?
Li Xuanmeng didn't believe it. She took a step closer, a smile that was a bit bewitching, and spoke ambiguously in this dim alley:
"Pei Yanchuan, since we're all going to act, why don't you try to rehearse with me first? After all, it wouldn't be good if Pei Yushan saw through it."
The man raised his eyes meaningfully.
"drill?"
