Chapter 35035 Happy Motherhood
Si Jingyan's words stirred up a little ripple in Xue Yi's heart, but it was quickly suppressed by his clear mind.
Without giving the other person enough sense of security, any temptation will only backfire.
She quietly moved aside, making room for a seat, and said calmly, "You can sit here."
Si Jingyan was stunned for a second, then he picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp, a hint of sadness flashing in his amber eyes.
Yu Zeyuan's tense expression relaxed a little and he sat down.
Xue Yi leaned slightly closer to his ear and whispered in a low voice, "If you don't want to stay any longer, why don't we find an excuse to leave?"
Yu Zeyuan turned his head and met her deep black eyes.
The anger that had been pent up in him was mostly extinguished by these words, and he snorted coldly in response.
Guo Yingying noticed the strange atmosphere here and came over with a smile, suggesting, "Don't just sit there! Come on, let's play a little game. How about Truth or Dare? Just the four of us!"
Yu Zeyuan frowned slightly, and instantly recalled his not-so-pleasant first encounter with Xue Yi.
At that time, he also lost the dare, and under Li Yao's bad advice, he was forced to confess his love to a strange woman.
The room was filled with noise, yet no one caught his eye. As he was struggling with this, Xue Yi entered his field of vision like a gust of fresh air. Dressed in a simple white shirt and jeans, she stood out against the vibrant lights and nightlife, a cool and unique presence. For some unknown reason, he grabbed her wrist and pressed it against the wall. Meeting her serene black eyes, he felt drawn to them by an invisible force, unable to look away.
Guo Yingying took out the cards with a smile: "Everyone draws a card, and the one with the lowest score accepts the challenge!"
Each of the four players draws a card and turns it over to show the other.
Xue Yi: 3.
Guo Yingying: 5.
Yu Zeyuan: J.
Si Jingyan: 2.
"Wow! This round is between Si Jingyan and Xue Yi! Let's see who is the lucky winner!"
Guo Yingying picked up an empty beer bottle and gave it a twist. The bottle spun rapidly until the mouth of the bottle was pointed squarely at Si Jingyan. "Congratulations to our birthday boy! Truth or Dare?"
Si Jingyan's amber eyes moved under the light, "Tell me the truth."
Guo Yingying stroked her chin with her hand. "Then let me ask a classic question. How many girlfriends have you had in total?"
He frowned in embarrassment. "Hmm, that's a lot. Which one are you talking about?"
Guo Yingying rolled her eyes and emphasized, "Of course it's serious, the kind that's open to the public!"
Si Jingyan's eyes swept over Xue Yi vaguely, "If we're to talk seriously, there are only two people."
Guo Yingying made an OK gesture, "Alright, continue! Next round, the one with the highest points will take on the challenge!"
Perhaps it was due to luck, but the next few rounds were monopolized by Si Jingyan and Guo Yingying, while Yu Zeyuan and Xue Yi became spectators.
"This is so boring!" Guo Yingying pouted, a plan coming to mind. "Why don't we try something exciting? Whoever gets the 'King' this time can order the two with the lowest and highest points to do something!"
Xue Yi said cautiously, "Don't give orders that are too extreme."
"Don't worry! It's definitely within a reasonable range!"
Guo Yingying swore a solemn oath, but her fingers made some small movements while shuffling the cards.
She drew the King as she wished, and when she saw Xue Yi's card was a 2, she immediately shouted, "I'm the King! The person with the lowest score, kiss the person with the highest score!" When she saw someone's murderous look, she added, "Just a kiss on the cheek!"
Xue Yi turned over the cards with a complicated expression: 2 of Spades.
Si Jingyan saw his own cards clearly and the smile on his face deepened: 10 of Hearts.
Only Yu Zeyuan held the cards tightly in his hand, and was reluctant to turn them over.
Guo Yingying urged, "What are you dawdling for? Turn it over quickly!"
Yu Zeyuan's face darkened as he turned the card over reluctantly: Ace of Spades.
The air froze instantly.
The smile on Si Jingyan's face froze, and Xue Yi stared at the A in surprise.
Yu Zeyuan's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Guo Yingying quickly tried to smooth things over: "Well, if you don't want to do it, you don't have to. Just punish yourself with three glasses of foreign wine, but it has to be pure!" Xue Yi was about to plead for mercy, but Guo Yingying stopped him with a look.
Yu Zeyuan said nothing, picked up the bottle of foreign liquor on the table, filled three cups, tilted his head back and drank them. The spicy liquid burned his throat, but he didn't even frown. After drinking, he put the empty cup heavily on the table.
Guo Yingying gave a thumbs-up and exaggerated, "What a great alcohol tolerance! Whoever gets 'King' this round can designate anyone to do something!"
She repeated the same trick when she shuffled the cards.
But this time, Si Jingyan saw through the flaw. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, choosing not to say anything.
Guo Yingying showed the king in her hand, "Oh! I'm so lucky today! It's me again! Yiyi, you choose someone and drink a toast to liven things up!"
Xue Yi's face froze, and he glared at Guo Yingying fiercely, as if to say: What a rotten idea! !
Guo Yingying winked back: "Sister, you're nice, aren't you? You have a chance to choose one of the two!"
Xue Yi pursed her lips and looked at Si Jingyan first. When she met his tolerant eyes, a trace of guilt flashed through her heart.
She then turned to Yu Zeyuan, only to see him with his eyes downcast and his fingers tightly gripping the cup.
Xue Yi took a deep breath and made up her mind. Just as she was about to step towards one of them, Yu Zeyuan suddenly raised his glass and interrupted, "I'll drink three glasses for her."
Xue Yigang paused in his steps. Was he refusing?
A sense of loss suddenly welled up in my heart.
Yu Zeyuan filled three glasses of foreign wine again. The strong alcohol made his stomach churn and his eyes slightly red.
He put down his wine glass, leaned back on the sofa, and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to play anymore."
Si Jingyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he was soon pulled away by other friends to chat somewhere else.
Xue Yi looked at Yu Zeyuan who was resting with his eyes closed. She saw that his cheeks were flushed and his breathing was a little heavy. She sat quietly beside him without disturbing him.
The air in the private room was turbid, and the unpleasant smell of cigarettes and alcohol wafted in from time to time, gradually giving her a headache. She stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.
Fresh air hits my nose, bringing with it the coolness of the night breeze.
She stood against the wall for about ten minutes, and her headache eased a little. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to go back and say goodbye and leave.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Si Jingyan walking towards me slowly.
A gentle smile played on his lips, "Don't you like the hustle and bustle?"
Xue Yi raised the corner of her mouth politely: "It's a bit stuffy, come out for some fresh air."
Si Jingyan walked over to her side, standing shoulder to shoulder, his eyes fixed on the dim streetlights. "I've actually always been curious about you. At first I thought you were just introverted and liked quiet, but later I discovered that you were more like immersed in your own world, unwilling to deliberately cater to the hustle and bustle."
He turned to look at Xue Yi's profile. The moonlight shone softly and hazily on her face. "But it wasn't until today that I truly saw that your calmness and self-control differ from person to person. You treat him differently."
Xue Yi also turned his head when he heard this.
He is different from Yu Zeyuan. He seems gentle and polite, but he has a sharp edge. Although Yu Zeyuan has a bad temper, his mind is simple and easy to understand.
Si Jingyan seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, although I always take the initiative when facing the people I like, I will never get entangled if I notice that the other person has someone else in their heart. Yu Zeyuan seems immature and doesn't know how to hide his emotions, but his feelings for you are real. Otherwise, he wouldn't have blocked the wine for you after knowing that you are allergic to alcohol."
The last sentence seemed to wake Xue Yi up.
It turned out that he didn't want to, but was thinking about her.
"However," Si Jingyan changed the subject, his tone carrying a reminder, "Yu Zeyuan might not be as simple as you think. Do you really understand his family background and past experiences?"
He looked at Xue Yi deeply, left these meaningful words, and turned away.
Xue Yi stood there in a daze, repeatedly pondering the deep meaning of his words, and returned to the private room after a while.
*
Yu Zeyuan seemed to have recovered a little and was able to sit up straight, but his eyes were still a little dazed.
"Then we'll go first."
Xue Yi said goodbye to Si Jingyan and others, picked up Yu Zeyuan's coat, and helped him up with difficulty. Seeing this, Guo Yingying hurried over to help.
After reaching the entrance of the KTV, they finally managed to stop a taxi, and the two of them struggled to stuff Yu Zeyuan into the back seat.
Taking advantage of the gap when the car door was closing, Guo Yingying mysteriously took out a small object from her bag and stuffed it into Xue Yi's hand, lowering her voice and grinning: "Seize the opportunity!"
The car door closed. Xue Yi looked down in the dim light and saw a box of condoms. Her cheeks flushed instantly. She was about to throw it back when Guo Yingying turned around and left, waving goodbye.
This big yellow girl! If she is found out, she can’t clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River!
She looked at Yu Zeyuan beside her guiltily. He closed his eyes and lay obediently on the back of the chair. He didn't seem to notice what had happened just now and breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, Yu Zeyuan behaved unusually quietly.
As soon as the car stopped, he pushed open the door, rushed to the side of the road and vomited violently.
After vomiting, he seemed to be much more conscious. Although his steps were weak, he was able to walk on his own.
Xue Yi did not support him, but just followed behind silently.
He seemed oblivious to Xue Yi's presence, instinctively groping his way back to the apartment. He fiddled with the keyhole for a long, confused moment as he tried to open the door. After entering, he put on his slippers, went to the bathroom, and sloppily rinsed his face with cold water. Then, he went straight back to the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed.
Xue Yi followed him in. Worried that he might feel too hot after drinking, she turned on the air conditioner for him, adjusted it to a comfortable 26 degrees, and covered him with an air-conditioned blanket.
Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, a soft feeling welled up in my heart.
This kid usually looks like a furious cat, but unexpectedly, when he gets drunk, he becomes as docile and harmless as a puppy.
Her gaze paused and fell on his wet face. The remaining water droplets slid down his temples. She pulled out a few sheets of toilet paper from the bedside table and gently wiped him.
Through a thin layer of tissue paper, she stroked his forehead, straight nose, slightly hot cheeks, and finally his well-defined jaw.
This was the first time she touched him so closely, and her heart beat faster. After she finally wiped it clean and just stood up to leave, her wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly by a hot hand.
The person on the bed frowned and mumbled incoherently, "Mom, don't go. Stay and accompany Xiaoze..."
Xue Yi paused and looked at Yu Zeyuan who was curled up in a ball. Her heart trembled slightly and a maternal pity arose spontaneously.
She softened her voice and responded softly, "Okay, I won't leave."
Yu Zeyuan's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He hugged Xue Yi's arm, like an extremely insecure child, rubbing his cheek against her arm in dependence. His voice was nasal and full of grievance: "Mom, can you take me away? I don't want to stay in this house. They all bully Xiaoze..."
This fragile and helpless look instantly touched the softest corner of Xue Yi's heart.
She sat down beside the bed and continued to coax him in a soft voice, "Be good and sleep well. When you wake up, Mommy... Mommy will take you away, okay?"
Yu Zeyuan half-opened his misty peach blossom eyes, a layer of moisture filled his eyes, his long eyelashes stained with tiny tears, and his wet eyes looked straight at her: "Really?"
The tone was cautious, pitiful and heartbreaking.
Xue Yi's heart seemed to be tugged at. Hesitantly, he reached out his hand and gently stroked his hair as if soothing a small animal. His voice became lower and softer: "Silly boy, of course it's true. Be good, close your eyes, and go to sleep."
Perhaps it was this gentle comfort that brought a sense of security. Yu Zeyuan's tense body gradually relaxed, his heavy eyelids slowly closed, and his breathing became even and long.
Xue Yi waited until he was completely asleep before slowly pulling out her arm, which had already become numb and stiff.
She tucked in the quilt for him, left a dim night light on, and closed the door quietly.
After returning to the room, Xue Yi couldn't fall asleep. His mind was in a mess.
Although it is unclear what Yu Zeyuan went through specifically, from the few words he uttered after drinking, it is not difficult to infer that his childhood must have been overshadowed.
Looking at the dark night outside the window, she felt an urgent desire to understand someone for the first time.
