"Are you Cen Yu's roommate?" Lou Baichuan supported Cen Yu with one hand while looking at Yu Xinyu who had opened the door.
Cen Yu was still pretending to be very drunk, but when she heard Lou Baichuan's voice and knew that she was home, she forced herself to open her eyes—
At this moment, Yu Xinyu was wearing a soft cashmere sweater, her slightly long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face showed the naivety and wealth of a rich young master. Her green-brown eyes were looking at Cen Yu with concern, as if she were very worried.
"Are you Cen Yu's colleagues...?" Yu Xinyu rubbed her apron.
He crumpled the strawberry pattern on it until it was distorted.
With a gentle smile on his face, he reached out to take Cen Yu away, saying, "Thank you for your help." He then grabbed one of Cen Yu's arms, and naturally put his other hand around Cen Yu's waist.
"Let's send them in first and then we'll talk about it," Gao Lanyuan said with a smile.
“It’ll be easier for the two of us to carry her.” He looked at Yu Xinyu, who was wearing a cashmere sweater and looked rather delicate except for her tall stature. “Don’t let Brother Cen fall.”
Yu Xinyu's gaze turned cold.
But when his gaze fell upon Cen Yu, whose cheeks were flushed with the effects of alcohol and whose breath carried a faint scent of it, his eyes were filled with infatuation and tenderness. "It's alright," he said, still holding Cen Yu's arm, his grip around Cen Yu's waist tightening, as if he wanted to pull Cen Yu directly into his arms.
"I'm used to taking care of him."
"Besides, it's getting late." Yu Xinyu's voice was soft, and his movements were very gentle as he put his arm around Cen Yu. His hand slowly moved from Cen Yu's waist to the back of his neck, and he was about to pull Cen Yu into his arms and take him away. "Thank you for your help. I can take care of him. You can go back first."
As he approached Cen Yu, he couldn't help but smell the familiar scent of rum mixed with patchouli.
—That bitch!
His gaze fell on Gao Lanyuan, who was dressed casually to the side. "I haven't asked you what your names are yet?"
"Gao Lanyuan".
Lou Baichuan.
Yu Xinyu's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that the perfume wasn't Lou Baichuan's... He looked at Lou Baichuan, who was supporting Cen Yu on the other side, as if to lend a hand.
He slightly unbuttoned his suit jacket.
Her meticulously combed hair on her forehead was now somewhat disheveled.
Yu Xinyu, who had mistakenly insulted the wrong person, felt no remorse whatsoever.
He put his arm around Cen Yu, looked at Lou Baichuan's hand still supporting Cen Yu, and the bitch next to him, and just smiled and said, "I am Yu Xinyu... Cen Yu's roommate for 3 years."
"Let go, I can take care of him."
Cen Yu kept his head resting on Yu Xinyu's shoulder. He didn't react at all because he wanted Yu Xinyu and Lou Baichuan to meet and talk, so that a chemical reaction would occur—in the end, Yu Xinyu would kick this scumbag away and head towards a bright future.
Due to the effects of alcohol, Cen Yu wasn't completely drunk, but he wasn't particularly sober either.
His cheek brushed against Yu Xinyu's shoulder, which was covered by a soft cashmere sweater, as he considered whether he should say something—
What's with standing at the door like that?!
And why is Gao Lanyuan joining in the fun?
He impatiently slapped away Gao Lanyuan's hand that was grabbing his other arm, "So sleepy..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his cheek against Yu Xinyu's shoulder a few times, "...Yu Xinyu?" He pretended to be a little more awake and looked up.
Yu Xinyu immediately touched the back of Cen Yu's neck, "Are you sober now?"
"Shouldn't you be doing laundry right now?!" Cen Yu demanded unreasonably. "Why are you here?!"
Lou Baichuan stood to the side, still holding Cen Yu's arm with one hand to prevent him from falling—in fact, he should have left just now, but perhaps because Cen Yu had been somewhat dazed, he decided to take him into the house first.
Seeing that Cen Yu seemed to have regained some consciousness, Lou Baichuan released the hand that was supporting Cen Yu.
"Now that Cen Yu is awake, we'll be leaving." He said, glancing to the side and looking down at Gao Lanyuan's hand—his hand had just been slapped away by Cen Yu.
"Xiao Gao, are you coming with me? I'll give you a ride?"
Gao Lanyuan lowered his hand, his face still showing that sunny and cheerful boyish demeanor. "I'll just take a taxi back from here." He wasn't particularly enthusiastic towards Lou Baichuan. "I won't trouble you, Brother Chuan."
Yu Xinyu saw that the two had let go of each other's hands and were both preparing to leave.
The smile on his face became more genuine...
"Then I'll take my leave." Lou Baichuan nodded. "If Cen Yu feels unwell after he sobers up, he can message me to ask for leave." He said, "After all, he drank so much, so it's partly my fault."
He was referring to the incident where Cen Yu was asked to revise documents in the office, which caused him to be late.
—But the calmer he spoke, the more resentment and bitterness arose in Yu Xinyu's heart.
What does "my problem" mean?
Yu Xinyu's smile almost faded.
He almost wanted to drive the two people in front of him away immediately... but then he remembered that Cen Yu was now somewhat sober, and what the other person loved most about him was his innocent and carefree rich young master appearance, as well as his gentle, charming, and understanding side.
He tried his best to maintain his persona, and with the unsteady Cen Yu still standing, he prepared to return to the room and close the door—
“…Don’t go.” Cen Yu blurted out immediately!
He panicked when he heard that Lou Baichuan was leaving!
This is the number one stock that everyone wants to buy in the original work! He is also the first person in the original work to notice Yu Xinyu, the pure and innocent girl who was betrayed by a scumbag, and this is a very important part of the plot between the two of them.
Now that they've left, how is the plot supposed to continue?!
Seeing that the plot was about to go off track, Cen Yu didn't care whether he was out of character or not. He grabbed Lou Baichuan's wrist and pretended to be completely drunk and passed out the next second.
"..." Yu Xinyu could no longer maintain her smile.
Lou Baichuan frowned as he looked at Cen Yu, who seemed to be asleep, and the hand that was gripping his wrist.
He tried to pry open Cen Yu's fingers, but found that the other person was holding them very tightly, leaving no possibility for him to leave.
"Ha." Gao Lanyuan, who had been standing to the side, chuckled, but her smile seemed somewhat superficial.
"It seems Brother Chuan won't be able to leave for the time being." He glanced at Cen Yu, who had fallen into a deep sleep and was practically clinging to Yu Xinyu, and waved his hand. "Then I'll be going now."
After Gao Lanyuan left, Lou Baichuan looked at the scene before him with a headache.
Yu Xinyu looked down at Cen Yu's sleeping face—
"Come in first," Yu Xinyu said.
"The slippers are here."
Just like in the original story, after Cen Yu got drunk at the dinner party, Lou Baichuan, who was taking him home, saw that Yu Xinyu couldn't handle the drunkard by herself, so he took Cen Yu directly into the apartment where he and Yu Xinyu lived.
