Kiss me
"Xi Ai, do you remember things that happened when you were drunk?"
"Yes, I will." Xi Ai replied frankly.
Xi Yuan entered the house with her arm around Chu Yiqi's waist, humming softly.
"Teacher Chu, just give me a kiss and I'll leave."
"Behave yourself."
"That won't do. I'm afraid you're trying to do something bad to me by putting something in the hangover soup."
"While you are indeed very, very beautiful, I'm not interested for now." Chu Yiqi smiled, pressed Xi Yuan onto the sofa, and turned to leave.
Xi Yuan stood up again, lifted her face, and rested it on Chu Yiqi's shoulder, saying, "Then you should still try to take advantage of me."
"Okay, be a good boy and sit up straight."
Chu Yiqi leaned against the marble countertop, and after more than ten minutes, finally paid attention to Shi Yunshan again.
"She had too much to drink, but she's actually better now."
Shi Yunshan replied to Chu Yiqi with an emoji: a willow tree with its branches bent into question marks.
Then, Miss Shi used all her composure to control her urge to berate Xi Yuan, and said weakly, "Are you saying that person who stole the old man's liquor since childhood and usually drinks red wine like coffee drank three glasses of red wine and got drunk today?"
Chu Yiqi remained silent for a long time before slowly typing a question mark.
"My brother was at the party today too, and she drank three glasses of red wine!"
Chu Yiqi stopped replying to the message and looked at the person sitting quietly in the living room, hugging their knees and playing with a mirrored Rubik's Cube. Xi Yuan was still wearing that green fishtail dress embroidered with layers of brocade, her long hair casually tied up. She had shed her impeccable business persona and looked quite docile.
But she just felt that whether it was true or not wouldn't make any difference. Xi Yuan found a way out, but how that way out was actually built wasn't important.
Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Yuan, and for a moment time seemed to overlap and displace her. She said, "Making wine is so enjoyable, but you don't dare to drink it. It's hard not to suspect that you have ulterior motives and something to hide."
Xi Yuan was speechless for a moment, racking her brains to retort: "Teacher Chu, aren't you enthusiastic?"
"You are my accomplice."
Xi Yuan paused, then leaned back on the sofa and smiled, "It's a pleasure working with you."
"Alright, you two suspects, come here and say hello."
"Hey hey hey, this is the best fruit wine maker... Teacher Meng Yike."
Meng Yike stared at Yu Nianxi, activating his defenses: "Then the one holding the phone must be our most helpful Yu Nianxi."
Meng Yike specifically emphasized "helping," and the direction of the comments suddenly changed.
I can tell whether it's helping or hindering.
[There was no doubt about Nianxi; they were all trusted equally, except for Xi Yuan.]
[Haha, Xi Yuan: Me?]
[Please leave Xi Yuan alone; she's really not a good person. Be careful of retaliation.]
To avoid Xi Yuan's indiscriminate attacks, and also for her own amusement, Shi Yunshan chimed in: "Please, Mr. Nan Caiyuan, the supplier of kimchi ingredients, quickly put down your slightly tipsy drink."
“Okay, okay,” Nie Chuiying thought for a moment and then added half a sentence, “The classic ABO pheromone scent.”
Shi Yunshan chuckled and gently nudged Nie Chuiying. Nie Chuiying immediately followed the lead and began to act, staggering backwards for two steps before sitting down on the stall, looking at Shi Yunshan with surprise and sadness.
Shi Yunshan gritted her teeth and looked at Nie Chuiying in shock. Before she could accuse Nie Chuiying, she saw Nie Chuiying pull Xi Yuan along when she fell.
Xi Yuan's reaction was even more intense and genuine than Nie Chuiying's. So, although Chu Yiqi was still out of it, his habit preceded his actions, and he grabbed Xi Yuan's arm and pulled her back.
Habitual worry is replaced by a hug.
Xi Yuan smelled a faint perfume scent; it was the plum wine one.
It's like something ambiguous or unclear.
Xi Yuan stood still, her charming smile almost like a coquettish plea: "Thank you, Teacher Chu. Sister 17 is the best!"
Chu Yiqi showed no reaction, or at least no obvious reaction. "Fine, please, Xi Yuan, shut up and let Shiny log in to talk."
Xi Yuan chuckled and said, "It's okay, Teacher Shiny isn't a good person either."
[Please, witch, give each of them a bottle of antidote; one day they'll poison themselves to death.]
[You didn't let them off the hook either.]
[What a wonderful day it is today! If I were to take Yuanyuan with me, what's the difference between that and hugging her? If they hugged her, what's the difference between that and kissing her? If they kissed her, what's the difference between that and making love?]
[It's my turn now—final exam review, d!!!]
[I will say this discreetly, as is customary.]
[No way! Someone who acts tough in public but acts like a spoiled brat at home should be called "older sister"!]
Seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, Yu Nianxi quickly smiled and tried to salvage the situation: "Okay, okay, you guys go and discuss it quietly, don't drag me into this."
[Okay, the taro paste filling is very helpful~]
"..."
"What are you doing today? Watching the preview too?" Meng Yike paused, then deliberately said, "Who hasn't seen it yet? Step forward!"
[I'm looking, so can't we really give a sneak peek at the new magazine?]
Each of the six people pretended to be stupid.
"I don't know. I've shot for two magazines in the last two weeks. Which one are you talking about?" Chu Yiqi had just become the "muse" for Xini's solo photography exhibition before returning to China, and then they collaborated on a magazine cover, so she pretended to be confused even though she knew the answer.
Xi Yuan laughed and joked, "That's right, it's a cover shot by YAN's top photographer, I want to see it too."
Yu Nianxi said: "I don't know either. It seems like it was filmed over three days, but I can't say for sure yet."
"Okay, anyway, there are several outfits with contrasting styles." Shi Yunshan's answer was the most normal one.
After a few words, the comments section was filled with half-true, half-false accusations, so Chu Yiqi changed the subject: "Okay, Yu Nianxi, stop adjusting the beauty filter settings, it's terrifying."
"Chu Yiqi!" Yu Nianxi grabbed a small toy and threw it at Chu Yiqi. "Stop spreading rumors!"
Xi Yuan smiled and mimicked Yu Nianxi's words: "Yu Nianxi! Don't lay a hand on Chu Yiqi."
"Xi Yuan! Don't worry, I'm breaking off all ties with you."
Shi Yunshan said slowly, "Is today Teacher Yu Nianxi, who 'please sever all ties and travel'?"
"Actually, it's a kind of N pole that's been forcibly bound," Chu Yiqi said, spouting nonsense in a mocking tone.
“People in the same magnetic field cannot be alone together,” Xi Yuan said, taking a step closer to Chu Yiqi.
[So? You and Yiqi are attracted to each other, right? Yes.]
[Thanks for the invitation! Yuanyuan, please stand properly and don't stand so close!!!]
[Some solo stans are being ridiculous. What's wrong with the idol hanging out with friends? Whether it's a breakdown or a deep closet relationship, we can't really say for sure.]
[Exactly, some CP fans shouldn't try to get involved in everything. It's just a friendly relationship and hasn't offended anyone.]
[What's wrong with being a CP fan? Why do you have to meddle in everything and why do you have to control me? If you have time, use your brain.]
[Enough already! What are you thinking? If you want to be Xi Yuan's family, you should at least think it over.]
Xi Yuan glanced up and saw this message. She subtly pursed her lips and then began to mediate: "Okay, stop arguing—Captain, someone asked you what you're eating."
Meng Yike readily chimed in, "These? These are cookies that Sister Lina baked herself. Go ask Sister Lina how she made them, I want to know too."
"Let's all surround and ambush the beautiful and gentle Lina."
"Hey, let's play a game of 'Flying Flowers' (a traditional Chinese poetry game)."
Nie Chuiying smiled and looked at Shi Yunshan: "Here we are, the venue for liberal arts students."
"I see, you science students with excellent Chinese language skills." Shi Yunshan smiled and passed the question back to Nie Chuiying.
Chu Yiqi swallowed the last bite of the cookie and clapped his hands: "Come on, come on."
"Xi Xi, you say something." Xi Yuan immediately set a trap for Yu Nianxi.
"That's perfect, let's take this seat."
"..."
Silence, that is Yu Nianxi's silence.
"If we're going to play, let's play it strictly," Chu Yiqi reminded her, but offered Yu Nianxi no benefit whatsoever, making the choice even more difficult.
As the countdown continued with laughter and pranks from the group, Yu Nianxi decided to completely ignore the people behind her.
"Come on, shout 'Ooh!'!"
In the deathly silence, only the comments section laughed wildly, and then the comments themselves organized a chaotic mix of ancient Chinese poems.
Nie Chuiying finally broke the silence, her voice barely audible: "Yu Nianxi, are you alright?"
"Hurry up and get a different one! What are you trying to do?"
"Alright." Yu Nianxi shrugged. "Then let's have 'rushing torrents and roaring waterfalls.'"
“I can do it, ‘The male flies and the female follows, circling among the trees.’” Xi Yuan replied smoothly.
Chu Yiqi remained frozen in place, and the number of comments on the screen increased.
[Note: This is not a still image.]
After a moment, Chu Yiqi finally spoke: "What are you trying to do with your head full of insects?"
[Hahaha, I knew I wouldn't be the only one.]
"Wait, wait, wait, I've remembered." Chu Yiqi said, almost forgetting again, "That thing, 'Free-flying flowers are as light as a dream'."
"Wild geese fly far and wide, but their light cannot reach them."
"If only the Flying General of Longcheng were here..." Nie Chuiying said smugly after finishing the sentence, "Quick, praise me."
Meng Yike, who was about to answer but suddenly lost her composure, couldn't say anything to praise him. Shi Yunshan, on the other hand, chimed in, "Wow, I can't believe it's Nie Chuiying at all."
"Stop cursing. The witch must have given you the antidote instead of saving you."
"Are you any better?"
Nie Chuiying answered without hesitation: "Not at all."
"Wild bamboos line the three paths, and flying blossoms fill the four neighborhoods." Meng Yike laughed and joked, "Actually, it's just... why can't it be considered the sixth character?"
Chu Yiqi asked while laughing, "Aren't you really going to struggle a bit, Captain?"
"Let me go."
"How about we make the punishment a lottery?" Xi Yuan asked casually.
Chu Yiqi: "I think it's a good idea."
"Okey, wait, let's set one up."
“Someone in the comments section is coming to your rescue! Why don’t you just give it to them?” Yu Nianxi leaned close to the screen, grinning as she looked back at Meng Yike.
"I'm fair and just."
"screenshot."
Meng Yike had no objection and said, "Let me take the screenshot myself. There are twenty-four flavors today, but it seems we can't count that many, so let's start with eight, the eighth one."
It's up to you~
“Read out your ID,” Meng Yike said. “This… my CP… oh, my CP will cook for you forever.”
[It's so embarrassing to read out the name of the tonic...]
The sisters' hopes were dashed.
[What a great name, hahaha, loving each other to death.]
[You must be a great cook!]
[Whether it's cooking or creating a romantic pairing, I can tell the difference.]
"Let's speak in a low voice, okay?" Meng Yike said.
Yu Nianxi chimed in, "You were being too discreet; none of us noticed."
"
"You're all so mean, unlike me, I don't say anything." Xi Yuan's words were all an act, and Chu Yiqi could only bite her lower lip and move to the side.
[The dialogue is wrong, sister. It should be, "Unlike me, just a bit of a tea bitch."]
[The real truth.]
Chu Yiqi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said, "Then let's have the best person and Teacher Meng prepare the gift together."
Xi Yuan smiled and said, "A box of coffee can be put here."
"I told you some people are just coffee addicts."
"Coffee with alcohol."
“Then I have no choice but to say…” Shi Yunshan made a four.
Before the viewers in the live chat could even process what was happening, Nie Chuiying continued Shi Yunshan's words in a drawn-out tone, adding, "It's truly outrageous."
Xi Yuan was speechless for a moment, and then she heard Chu Yiqi, the culprit, add fuel to the fire: "Has anyone drawn a character design for Xi Yuan? Can you change the pheromone scent to coffee?"
"What are you doing?" Xi Yuan laughed and threw a hamburger plush toy she was holding at Chu Yiqi. "You want to smell my pheromones all the time, so you can save money on coffee, huh?"
"Hello, hello, hello everyone." Chu Yiqi took the pillow and continued to joke with a grin.
At this moment, they don't care about avoiding suspicion anymore.
Xi Ai said, "Then everyone should stay awake."
