As he became slightly tipsy, he couldn't help but think about the troubles that had happened not long ago, and he felt increasingly irritable. He thought that if Mu Beichen hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
She and he were so close to being together. She had been waiting for so long since the day they met. He was so close to getting what he wanted. But in the end, it ended in the cruelest way. All the resentment and hidden pain were stuck in her heart, unable to be brought up or swallowed.
After Su Yu finished the last drop of wine, her limbs went limp, and she collapsed onto the table like a rag doll, muttering some intriguing drunken ramblings.
Leng Yuexi sat quietly opposite him, resting her chin on her hands. She watched him get completely drunk, sighed softly, then waved her hand and quietly beckoned the owner over. She paid for his drinks and lodging, then pulled him up from the table and helped him stagger upstairs.
In truth, she knew very well that the life-and-death separation between Yu Qianqian and Mu Beichen, and Su Yu's forced return from Bei Yan Kingdom alone, were ultimately caused by her alone. Out of guilt, she could only try her best to make amends.

If one can be considered to have done something without regret in life, then at least for that moment, one can be considered lucky. Yu Qianqian felt that the memory she would never forget was the scene in Ziyan Kingdom where Mu Beichen risked his life to protect her.

However, she didn't know what had gotten into Mu Beichen tonight, as he insisted on forcing her to take a bath and said with certainty that he didn't like dirty things lying next to him.
While she was dozing off with her eyes half-closed, Mu Beichen scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the back of the screen. He placed her in a pool of steaming warm water, then quickly took off his outer robe and, pressed himself against the edge of the pool, peeled off her clothes layer by layer.
He reached into the water to test the temperature, then gently wiped her back and shoulders with his long, slender fingertips, moving down from her chest. Suddenly, his face flushed red, and he hurriedly turned his face away.
Just then, Yu Qianqian realized what was happening and immediately became alert and awake. As soon as she opened her eyes, she instinctively reached out, but what she saw and heard was completely unexpected. She simply reached out with both hands!
She turned her head and saw Mu Beichen standing behind her with his head down. She quickly covered herself with her hands and sank into the water, looking at him timidly and asking, "Mu Beichen, what do you want to do?"
