However, considering that the third brother was holding a grudge because of his sister, he allowed him to indulge himself this time.
After that, he made sure to store his brewed wine very well.
We can't let someone with no taste like Ling Laosan steal it again.
Ling Jingyan and Jun Yu barely touched their chopsticks; they just kept drinking, and soon the jar of wine was empty.
Ling Haoyang and Ling Zhiheng exchanged a glance, raised their glasses, and gestured to Jun Yu, saying, "We'd like to toast you too."
After saying that, they drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.
They discussed things using wine cups, while Junyu used wine jars to drink with them.
Junyu picked up another jar of wine and said, "A toast to my eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiheng nearly crushed the wine glass in his hand, but his smile remained unwavering. "Future brother-in-law, you're too kind. Drink up!"
He emphasized the words "future brother-in-law" in his voice, almost as if he were gritting his teeth.
Junyu seemed not to understand the meaning behind his words, but the words "brother-in-law" sounded particularly pleasant to him.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Jun Yu's worthless smile and watched him down one jar of wine after another.
She tugged at his sleeve worriedly and whispered, "This liquor is very strong, be careful."
Jun Yu patted Ruan Xiyan's hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing that Jun Yu's eyes were still relatively clear, Ruan Xiyan said no more.
After being repeatedly forced to drink by the three Ling brothers, Jun Yu was not the only one who got drunk.
The people present were all unsteady on their feet, clearly indicating that they were intoxicated.
Ling Jingyan walked unsteadily to Jun Yu's side and slapped his shoulder with his hand.
She looked at him through her blurry, drunken eyes and said, "I'm telling you, you have to be nicer to my sister, even nicer."
"If I find out in the future that you have let Yan'er down, even if I can't beat you, I will fight you to the death."
As Ling Jingyan spoke, he let out a burp, then slumped weakly to the ground, completely drunk.
Ling Haoyang and Ling Zhiheng were also quite drunk, slumped over the table looking half asleep.
Of those present, only Ling Yunchen and Ruan Xiyan remained relatively sober.
"Someone come here." Ling Yunchen summoned the palace maids and guards, who helped them back to their respective palaces to rest.
"Father, you should rest early too. I'll head back now." Ruan Xiyan waved to Ling Yunchen.
Not long after leaving the palace, a figure flashed past from the side.
When she could see clearly, a warm hand was already holding hers.
"Junyu?" Ruan Xiyan asked in surprise, "Weren't you helped back first?"
Junyu shook his head, "I'm not going back. I'll wait for Ayan here."
Ruan Xiyan looked at Jun Yu's face, which was slightly flushed from drinking, and his hazy eyes.
She reached out and pinched his cheek. "Are you really drunk?"
Junyu nodded.
"How are you feeling now? Are you in any discomfort?"
Junyu shook his head, then nodded.
Ruan Xiyan said with amusement, "Are you feeling unwell or not? How about I go and prepare some hangover soup for you?"
She was about to go, but Junyu grabbed her arm. "No need, a good night's sleep will do the trick."
Ruan Xiyan sighed helplessly, "Then why don't you go back and lie down obediently? I'll take you back."
She took Junyu's hand and walked towards their residence.
As they walked, Jun Yu was almost leaning against Ruan Xiyan.
"I'm drunk and can't walk straight. I need Ayan to carry me to feel better." Junyu opened his arms.
Looking at Jun Yu's coquettish manner, Ruan Xiyan looked up at him suspiciously, "Are you really drunk or just pretending?"
There was no sign of him faking being drunk on his face.
Junyu didn't answer, but stretched out his arms, asking, "Hug me, I want a hug."
"Hug me, hug me, hug me." Ruan Xiyan gave Jun Yu a indulgent hug. "Is this okay? Can we go back now?"
"able!"
After finally getting Junyu back to his room, he started causing trouble again.
As soon as Ruan Xiyan helped him lie down and covered him with a blanket, he yanked the blanket off.
"Junyu, go to sleep." Ruan Xiyan's tone became more serious.
"No, you're being mean to me," Junyu said, sounding aggrieved.
Ruan Xiyan sighed. Why should she argue with a drunk person?
She softened her tone and asked gently, "What will it take for you to go to sleep?"
“Ayan, answer one question for me.”
Ruan Xiyan asked, puzzled.
"Does Ayan like me?"
Ruan Xiyan was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to ask such a question while drunk.
"Ayan hesitated." At this point, Junyu's aggrieved pout was truly heartbreaking.
Ruan Xiyan immediately replied, "I like you. If I didn't like you, why would I be with you?"
"Okay, the question has been answered. Can we go to sleep now?"
Junyu held up one finger. "I have another question."
"Go ahead," Ruan Xiyan said gently, her patience and temper tonight enough to coax a child.
However, Junyu, now drunk, is no less like a child begging for candy.
“Ayan likes me, and we’re already together. It’s too distant for Ayan to still call me by my name. It’s not as affectionate as how I address Ayan.”
Jun Yu stared intently at Ruan Xiyan, seeking an answer.
Ruan Xiyan never expected that Jun Yu would care about such a small detail and would make such an unexpected move as to be conflicted about how to address someone.
Ruan Xiyan had never cared about these trivial matters before, but since Jun Yu brought it up, she went along with what he said.
"Then what should I call you? Junjun? Xiaoyuyu?" Even though it was said in a teasing tone, Ruan Xiyan still felt her scalp tingle and goosebumps all over her body.
"I'll call you A-Yu from now on, okay?"
After thinking it over, Ruan Xiyan felt that this title was more appropriate.
"Ah Yu, Ah Yan," Jun Yu repeated, then happily said, "Okay."
"You've finished asking your questions. Listen to Ayan and go to sleep." Junyu lay down on the bed and pulled the blanket back, which he had kicked off, over himself.
Ruan Xiyan watched his smooth movements, a smile flashing in her eyes. She never expected Jun Yu to be so clingy when he was drunk.
No, even when he wasn't drunk, he always liked to stick close to her, never leaving her side.
It's just that it's even worse now when I'm drunk.
However, his drunken appearance is quite cute.
Ruan Xiyan couldn't help but reach out and rub his face.
Hearing his breathing gradually calm down, Ruan Xiyan gazed at his exquisite sleeping face and was instantly overcome with lust. She bent down and gently kissed his forehead.
She whispered, "May you have sweet dreams," and then got up and left.
Once the door was closed, the room returned to silence.
Jun Yu, lying on the bed, trembled slightly with his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes, having been fast asleep.
His fingers landed on his forehead, tracing the spot where Ruan Xiyan had kissed him, and the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.
