Without giving Xuan'er much time to think, thinking of the three drunk people on the other side, Xuan'er braced herself, took two steps forward, and knocked on the door.
"Wait a minute, someone's knocking on the door."
The group of people drinking inside heard the knock on the door, and Ertai called out to them to be quiet.
He walked to the door with Yongxuan, got up and opened it.
"Xuan'er, what's wrong? Did something happen to Chen Nianqing?"
Looking at the anxious person standing outside the door, the two spoke in unison.
"Where's Little Swallow? Is Little Swallow alright?"
Even when Yongqi was drunk, he still thought about Xiaoyanzi.
Since becoming estranged from Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi has basically been spending all her time with Qing'er. If something were to happen to the two of them, Xiaoyanzi would likely be unable to escape either, not to mention Xiaoyanzi's current state.
...
"Chen Nian! Do you know you're not in good health and shouldn't drink alcohol? Why don't you ever take care of yourself?"
Ertai's usually calm and gentle voice carried a hint of anger this time.
Upon receiving news from Xuan'er that Chen Nian was drinking, he rushed over without delay.
Seeing the person who had drunk himself until his face was flushed and he was staggering as he walked, I felt both worried and angry.
I was worried she wasn't feeling well. She's someone who's never drunk alcohol before, but judging from her appearance, she'd clearly had quite a bit.
I was also angry that she didn't take care of her health, knowing that she was in poor health, she still drank alcohol.
He quickly walked over and helped the swaying person to their feet. Chen Nian's mind was foggy and everything was blurry. He didn't think much of it and assumed that Xuan'er or Xiao Yanzi was supporting him, so he leaned against her.
Little did Ertai know that Chen Nian was a half-cup drinker; the wine he drank in both batches barely made half a cup.
"Qing...Qing'er...I...I think...I saw Ertai...But...But...How could that be...He's angry with me?"
With a silly smile on his face, double vision appeared before him. Ertai pointed to his head with a helpless expression and extremely unstable emotions. He turned to Qing'er, who was sitting there, and said in a simple and honest voice.
"Hehe~, I... I think I saw you... your brother... too."
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Qing'er chuckled foolishly and pointed at Yongxuan, who had a look of astonishment and helplessness on his face.
The noisy Yongqi, also drunk, was helped over here by Benjamin.
...
"Little princess, you've gotten bolder, daring to drink alcohol now?"
Ertai raised his hand and pinched the face of the boy who was leaning against him, lost in thought. His cheeks were flushed, and his soft little face was irresistible.
"You...you're not angry with me anymore...okay...okay?"
Chen Nian clutched Ertai's sleeve, lowered her head, and dared not look at Ertai, speaking softly.
"Do you still dare to drink recklessly?"
Ertai didn't answer. He picked up the hangover soup on the table, stirred it, and let it cool down.
"Open your mouth!"
Ertai looked down at the person who was tugging at his clothes with his head down and spoke.
"Oh~, ah—"
After drinking the wine, Chen Nian became incredibly obedient, doing whatever Ertai said. He obediently tilted his head back, slightly opened his mouth, and drank the hangover soup that Ertai fed him, sip by sip.
...
"You're not allowed to drink alone next time, understand? Or if you really want to drink, come find me, I'll keep you company. You can't drink alone, okay? What if you get drunk? And..."
Looking at the person with a rosy complexion and a sweet, wine-like aura, Ertai kept muttering to himself.
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Nian's words. Upon hearing Chen Nian's words, Ertai was stunned.
"Ertai, shall we give it a try?" She didn't want to regret it later.
Qing'er is right. She should give herself a chance, and also give Ertai a chance.
Shen Nian met Ertai's eyes, which were full of tolerance and indulgence, and was shocked by Ertai's gaze...
