Rong Zhaonan: "Get lost!"
Chen Chen stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"
Then, he suddenly attacked, snatched the remaining scallion pancake, and like a wild monkey, climbed over the outer wall of the building and entered the room, turning his head to laugh at Rong Zhaonan!
Rong Zhaonan chuckled lightly: "You brat!"
He ignored him, took his soda bottle, sat on the bamboo chair, looked up at the sky, and silently gazed at the starry expanse.
A cool night breeze blows by, seemingly able to dispel the scorching heat of the daytime summer.
He fiddled with the velvet box in his hand, and time seemed to drag on...
After some time, when the clock struck ten, he heard the sound of a car in the distance.
Rong Zhaonan suddenly stood up and walked towards the iron gate of the courtyard: "Why are you so late..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a jeep stop at the iron gate.
Ah Heng was driving, but when the back door opened, it wasn't Ning Yuan who got out, but a graceful and elegant figure.
He reached out and helped a petite, slightly swaying figure down.
The boy next to her immediately reached out and took her hand: "Be careful when you get off the bus!"
Ning Yuan was a little confused. She looked up at Ou Minglang's worried face, smiled, and waved her hand, saying, "I'm fine, big white goose!"
When Ah Heng heard Ning Yuan refer to Ou Minglang by his nickname, he almost burst out laughing: "Big White Goose, help Ning Yuan inside, I'll find a place to park!"
They had just dropped off their two brothers who were on vacation at the guesthouse, and then sent several of Ou Minglang's friends home before returning.
That's why it took a little longer.
Ou Minglang looked at Ning Yuan, who seemed both sober and a little dazed, with a bit of helplessness, and said to Aheng, "Look at the drink you ordered, it actually has alcohol in it, and you gave it to her to drink!"
Ah Heng scratched his head guiltily: "Didn't you say we were going to some Western restaurant for steak? Who knew that the red and green sweet drink in the set meal, called 'Red Summer,' contained alcohol!"
“That was a cocktail… never mind, it was my fault for not noticing!” Ou Minglang said helplessly.
After the group finished strolling around Beihai Park, boating and having snacks, and playing around some more, he remembered that there was a Western restaurant nearby that catered to foreign guests.
He had special tickets for that restaurant, so he thought he'd treat everyone to a Western meal that evening.
Who knew that some of the drinks in the set meal were actually sweet cocktails?
He also thought they were just mixing drinks, until Ning Yuan started looking at them with a "kind" smile.
Then she actually asked him, "Lee Jong-suk, how come you can speak Chinese?"
He was puzzled, then realized something was wrong, called over the waiter, and learned that the woman was drinking a cocktail.
The alcohol is masked by the sweetness and fruitiness, making it impossible to taste that it is alcohol.
"Fortunately, the alcohol content wasn't high, it was similar to sweet wine, and the portion wasn't large!" Ou Minglang said.
Aheng watched him help Ning Yuan walk slowly forward: "After we settle Ning Yuan in, we'll take you back?"
Seeing that Ning Yuan seemed a little dizzy, Ou Minglang insisted on taking her back with him.
Ou Minglang said nonchalantly, "It's alright, Rong Zhaonan isn't here. You stay here with her, I can walk back by myself."
His maternal grandfather also lived in the Rong family's compound, quite close by.
It's only a ten-minute walk.
Ah Heng nodded: "Okay, then you help her inside first, I'll be there in a bit."
After saying that, she drove off to find a place to park.
Ou Minglang helped Ning Yuan walk towards the entrance of Chen Chen's courtyard. Ning Yuan tripped over a stone, stumbled, and almost fell.
Ou Minglang gently supported her slender waist and arms, somewhat helplessly asking, "Can you walk like this? If not, I'll carry you inside."
Sweating, a night breeze, and a slight pain in her ankle seemed to instantly sober her up. Rubbing her head, she said, "I get dizzy from just a little alcohol. What a nuisance."
Ou Minglang looked down at her, a slight chuckle in his eyes: "Remember when we were selling fruit and sparkling water in the county? We'd always be coming home late!"
Ning Yuan looked up at the sky, a wistful yet bewildered smile on her face. "Those were the good old days. My biggest worries were how many practice problems I had to do to get into a good university and how many sparkling waters I could sell on weekends. Unlike now... liking someone is so hard..."
"You're not happy being with him, are you?" Ou Minglang looked at Ning Yuan's flushed round face, recalling how gloomy she looked today.
"Whether she's happy or not with me is none of your business as her younger brother," Rong Zhaonan's cold voice suddenly rang out.
Ou Minglang looked in the direction of the sound, and before he could react, his arm was suddenly loosened, and the girl he was supporting fell into the arms of the tall man.
Ning Yuan raised her eyes and looked at the person supporting her. She was a little confused, but instinctively straightened up and pushed him away: "I...I don't need your help, I can walk by myself."
Rong Zhaonan's expression darkened slightly, but he still patiently held her arm: "Why are you so drunk again?"
Ou Minglang watched Ning Yuan sway unsteadily and coldly pushed Rong Zhaonan's arm.
He frowned and stepped forward to support Ning Yuan's other arm: "She'll get hurt if you do that! I'll support her!"
Seeing Ning Yuan refuse him but allow Ou Minglang to support her, Rong Zhaonan's handsome face darkened. He grabbed Ning Yuan's other arm: "Ou Minglang, she is my wife!"
Ou Minglang grabbed Ning Yuan's other arm, looked at her, and suddenly said, "I'm her brother! What's wrong with helping my sister?"
