What Chenxi didn't know was that Rong Li already knew when she arrived, since cultivators like them couldn't possibly get drunk so easily.
He just wanted to see what Chenxi would do, but he never expected...
Heh, Rong Li's lips twitched. He'd really lost face; someone'd carried him away. How could he ever face anyone in the manor again? He'd completely lost face!
Since things are already like this, all we can do is stay drunk!
Chenxi carried Rong Li back to the courtyard. As soon as they reached the door of the room, the servants at the door were stunned by the scene.
"Chenxi, how dare you be so disrespectful, carrying the Second Young Master back like this...!"
Chenxi's face turned red: "Young Master is drunk, and I can't lift him up, so I can only use my spiritual power to carry him back. Don't tell Young Master that I carried him back, okay? You should hurry up and help Young Master rest!"
Chenxi put Rong Li down, leaned against the servant, and turned to walk towards her room.
The servant was bewildered. "Just carry it inside! Give it to me, how can I move it?"
Just as the servant was gritting his teeth, thinking about how to get the young master to his room, Rong Li felt that if he didn't regain some consciousness, he would probably still be carried away.
Rong Li pretended to have just woken up, looked around, and then looked at the servant supporting her.
"Shunzi, why am I back? I...wasn't I drinking in the wine cellar?"
Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Young master, Chenxi carried you... brought you back. You're drunk, young master, go inside and rest."
When Rong Li heard Shunzi's words, she almost smacked him on the head. "If you dare say that out loud, believe me, I'll hit you!" Damn it, pretending to be drunk is so tiring!
Shunzi was still shaken. Goodness, if he had told anyone, not only would the young master have beaten him, but Chenxi would probably have beaten him too. Luckily, luckily... he avoided two beatings.
Rong Li feigned composure and said, "Drunk? How could that be? This young master can still drink a few more jars. Shunzi, go and bring me a few more jars of wine. This young master wants to drink until I'm completely drunk!"
Shunzi supported his swaying body: "Alright, young master, you go inside and rest first. I'll go get you some wine, okay?"
Rong Li patted Shunzi: "Hmm, that's more like it. You're the most obedient one. Come on, let's go inside."
After Shunzi helped Rong Li inside, she placed him on the bed and then turned and left.
After closing the door, he stood guard outside, afraid that the young master might feel unwell again, so he could take care of him. He didn't even think about getting the wine. Of course, he was joking; getting the young master wine when he was this drunk would be a sin.
As Shunzi turned to leave, Rong Li was worried that he was being too obedient and would go get more wine. Thank goodness, he just stayed outside the door. How come she hadn't noticed before that Shunzi was actually quite clever?
Rong Li lay in bed, recalling what had happened from the afternoon until now.
The knot in my heart that had been tied up for over ten years has finally been untied, and I can't tell whether I'm happy or unhappy.
To be honest, I was happy, because the reason why I had been struggling with the issue of the heir apparent's position for over ten years had finally been resolved. But I was also unhappy because I wondered if I really had to drive Rong Qi out of the Rong Prince's residence and disrupt the peace this family had enjoyed for over a decade just for the sake of this position.
Although he had always been at odds with Rong Qi, he still loved his family very much. How could he let his whole family fall into the shadow of self-blame and guilt just because of the position of heir?
Then she thought that if this matter really caused her father, mother, and sister to become estranged from her, that would not be the outcome she wanted.
In comparison, the position of heir apparent doesn't seem so important!
Moreover, because of this incident, Chenxi had witnessed his embarrassing state. Thinking about it, Rong Li's lips twitched uncontrollably. He never expected Chenxi to use this method to bring him back. How awkward it would be when they met again!
Thinking of Chenxi's appearance, Rong Li felt helpless. She never expected that this girl would have such a silly and cute side.
Perhaps, that's why I like her.
In their recent interactions, Rong Li discovered his feelings for Chen Xi, and he could also sense Chen Xi's feelings for him.
But he couldn't be sure if Chenxi would distance herself from him if he were the crown prince.
And Shunzi witnessed the whole thing. How is he going to give them enough credit? This has never happened before.
Sigh, Rong Li pinched the bridge of his nose. Perhaps he should just stay drunk for a couple of days. After that, everything would be back to normal. He would still be the second young master of the Rong Prince's Mansion, with Rong Qi always there to handle things, and their family would be just like before.
Rong Li fell asleep while thinking, and her lips were turned up as she slept, perhaps because she had figured out some things, or perhaps because she didn't want to figure them out.
