Isaac did not speak to Huo Mingchan, but silently turned away.
Then the young master outside the door, who had been looking unwell, immediately spotted Qin Lushu, who was lying face down on the table, completely drunk.
"Heh, the Imperial Academy is indeed too idle, spending their days indulging in debauchery." Huo Mingchan sneered, then crossed his arms and asked Yun Wei, "He's drunk, why are you calling me?"
Yun Wei said, "We're new here and don't know many people. We were just wondering what to do when we saw you, Young Master Huo..."
Huo Mingchan snorted and said only "long-winded" before turning to leave.
"Young Master Huo, please wait." Yun Wei quickly stood up and said, "Brother Qin is drunk, and it's difficult to entrust him to others. Brother Qin praised you earlier for your upright character, and I think that Young Master Huo, out of consideration for our shared sect, will certainly not stand idly by."
"He praised me for being upright?" Upon hearing this, the cold-faced handsome man seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, cracking his knuckles.
Yun Wei remained expressionless, staring directly at the other party and said, "That's indeed the case."
Although Qin Lushu had previously praised the other party for being "adorably silly," if he were to relay those words directly, this man, who was even more arrogant than Richard, would definitely explode.
So he tactfully chose a universally applicable compliment.
Huo Mingchan stared at him intently, a look that sent chills down his spine.
After a long silence, the other party finally spoke, "Our relationship is none of your business. However, since that Qin fellow is drunk, I will naturally keep an eye on him. You two should leave first; I will stay behind to clean up the mess."
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Young Master Huo." After successfully handing the person over, Yun Wei quickly clasped his hands in farewell.
He walked toward Isaac, but his steps were somewhat unsteady.
For someone like him who gets drunk even from sweet wine, strong liquor was definitely too much of a challenge.
After the two left and walked a distance away, Isaac quietly asked, "Won't something go wrong if we just hand him over like this?"
"What else could happen?" Yun Wei lifted his eyelids but leaned against Isaac. "If something was going to happen, it would have happened already. Didn't you see that five out of ten of that guy's sentences revolve around rules? People like him are most likely to get themselves into trouble."
He still trusted Qin Lushu's judgment, and by extension, he believed that Huo Mingchan was an upright gentleman.
Isaac fell silent upon hearing this.
He had never heard the idiom "to weave a cocoon around oneself" before, but it was surprisingly easy for him to understand.
He had never seen the Jade Ice Silkworm of Bili City, but he had seen caterpillars spin silk to form pupae, wrapping themselves up in circles.
Before he could think further, his master, who was nestled against him, became restless and clung to him.
The hot breath of alcohol exhaled from the other person sprayed onto his neck, making him feel a little numb.
The two were in the narrow stairwell of the restaurant. The candles in the lanterns were about to go out, and the light was dim and flickering. They could only vaguely see that the person in their arms had a flushed face.
Isaac said in a deep voice, "Be careful not to fall."
"With you here, how could I possibly fall?" The master glanced at him lazily and said indifferently.
It was that same kind of sideways, indirect glance.
Isaac didn't know how to describe Yun Wei's gaze. If he had to say, he could only think of one word:
Charm and style.
To him, Yunwei was like a riddle that could never be solved.
When the other person looked directly into his dark eyes, he knew that they were filled with undisguised admiration and affection.
But when the other person looked at him sideways, it was like a silent invitation.
He couldn't tell whether it was seduction or provocation; he just felt a tingling sensation in his heart, an indescribable feeling that was easily stirred up by the other party, an itch that went straight to his bones.
Seemingly dissatisfied with his silence, Yun Wei said again, "Carry me back, Issa. I'm sleepy and don't want to walk anymore."
"Is it okay?" Isaac hesitated.
In a city full of Bili people, he, a foreigner, brazenly carried Yunwei back home.
"Hey, you still don't want to? Fine, I'll go by myself!" Yun Wei's dissatisfaction reached its peak.
He closed his eyes and nudged Isaac's chest.
As a result, the other person's arms, which were as strong as cast steel and held him from behind, remained motionless, making him appear to be both resisting and welcoming.
I was a little annoyed.
He couldn't help but open his heavy eyelids, and unsurprisingly, he met those smoky gray eyes again.
As always, so resolute, so affectionate, so loyal.
Like a lake of eternally brilliant stars, it peacefully promises in the silent universe that it will forever shine for him.
Yun Wei couldn't help but hook her arms around Issa's neck.
They gazed at each other silently, their intense eyes meeting and becoming inseparable, their feelings naturally flowing.
So they kissed silently in the dim light.
...
Finally, even after he had quietly settled onto the servant's broad back, Yun Wei was still somewhat dazed.
This time, however, it wasn't because of being drunk.
He knew that his lips were swollen at that moment.
But even more embarrassing than her swollen lips was the agonizing sound of her own heart pounding.
Her heart was pounding like a drum, and she was faithfully and frankly telling the burly man in front of her her passionate feelings.
And how keen Issa's perception was.
He really is... sorry.
The night market is coming to an end.
Between the slightly closed eyelashes of the clouds, all the light is like a cross swaying in the wind. The white horse is the shadow of the sun, but it passes away in the blink of an eye during the beautiful night.
Everyone must have been satisfied and returned home with a full load.
...
The next morning, Qin Lushu, who looked quite exasperated, came to the door to "demand an explanation."
"Brother Yun, you're so unfair! How could you hand me over to that scoundrel!" The young man with eyes like a cute deer accused through gritted teeth.
God knows the shock he felt when he found himself lying in Huo Mingchan's bedroom that morning, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.
And then came the feeling of shattering as I realized that the persona I had painstakingly cultivated in front of the other person for so many years had suddenly collapsed overnight.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei was somewhat surprised, but he only said sleepily, "I thought he would send you to the Qin residence."
He knew that the lively person in front of him was just a little excited, not really angry.
Look, how shimmering and sparkling her eyes are!
Qin Lushu couldn't help but scoff, "Tsk, he's the eldest son of the Huo family, after all. He'd be too embarrassed to come to my house."
At this point, Qin Lushu lowered his head and straightened his clothes. He had run away in such a hurry that his clothes were rather disheveled.
"Oh no!" the young man exclaimed. "I was in such a hurry this morning that I left my jade flute charm behind."
I have no idea what important thing that net was.
Before he could finish speaking, the handsome young man, who had arrived like lightning, had already dashed off into the distance.
