"Come on, I just made a few simple home-style dishes, Brother Qinghe, please don't mind them."
"Yunzhou is too modest. This dish looks very good and suits my taste perfectly."
"I hope it suits your taste, otherwise I'll make a fool of myself."
"Hahaha--"
Xue Qinghe wasn't talking nonsense; you get tired of eating too much delicacies.
Eating it occasionally is a treat, but eating it every day is her life. How could she not get tired of it?
Such home-style dishes are delicious, visually appealing, and best of all, they are made by Jiang Yunzhou.
She couldn't help but take a few bites and nodded secretly.
It is the warmth and comfort of everyday life that can truly soothe the soul.
With outsiders present, and of high status at that, the three women were noticeably reserved—except for Ning Rongrong, of course.
She was quiet for only a short while before she started making a fuss again:
"Teacher~ You actually ran away secretly! Do you know that the Crown Prince has come looking for you twice...?"
"Teacher, could you take me with you next time you go out?"
"Teacher, did you go out with the Crown Prince? How come he just entered and you arrived right after?"
Despite Ning Rongrong's incessant chatter.
Jiang Yunzhou didn't interrupt her rambling; instead, he continued to smile indulgently.
Now, the three of them are his precious treasures, constantly filling the void in his heart.
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Yunzhou looked up at Xue Qinghe. He hadn't expected that she would come twice, and the second time was almost immediately after the first.
No wonder he said those things earlier; he had been eavesdropping outside Yuexuan the whole time!
No, what happened to being so busy? How come you have time to waste on yourself?
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know Brother Qinghe would be coming."
"In that case, I will punish myself with a cup of wine as an apology."
"Yunzhou, you're too kind. It's because I feel a connection with you that I came here to catch up."
Jiang Yunzhou was amused. They had only met once and they were already catching up?
He knew that his charm had probably been working quietly again.
He knew he was quite interested in Qian Renxue, and it was normal that she had a high level of affection for him.
Why is the system so unreasonable?
The two toasted each other, eating very little food but drinking quite a lot of wine.
After the three women finished eating, they were ruthlessly sent away to avoid disturbing the two men's emotional exchange.
I intended to have just a few drinks and then stop, but we couldn't resist the enthusiasm of both parties.
Once it started, it became so addictive that it was hard to stop.
As everyone knows, this wine gets more and more intoxicating the more you drink, the more you want to drink, and you can't stop.
It is said that wine does not intoxicate people, people intoxicate themselves; and those who are determined to get drunk cannot be persuaded otherwise.
Finally, neither of them held back and they drank freely.
Jiang Yunzhou's reaction was understandable; since he was on his own turf, he could just drink until he passed out and then go to sleep.
Xue Qinghe seemed to have come specifically to find a place to relax.
She hadn't felt this good in a long time.
"Yunzhou, I haven't been this...happy in many years, do you know that?"
"I...of course I know...no one in this world understands you better than me..."
"Haha~ I think so too! Otherwise I wouldn't think of you every time I have a spare moment."
"I have walked on thin ice all my life and have never had a true friendship, but I feel... you can give me that."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I waited for you outside the Moon Pavilion for a long time... I only rushed back to wait for you when I saw you were about to leave..."
"Is that so? So you... came here specifically to see me?"
"Then, let's have another one, high and low. Come on, drink!"
The two men were drowsy and their speech was slurred. They were now arm in arm, displaying a picture of 'brotherly affection'.
"No, definitely not! I just felt like I had nowhere else to go, so I just happened to come and sit for a while..." Poor Qian Renxue, even after drinking, she couldn't resist being a little arrogant.
She can say it herself, but when others touch her sore spot, she's stubborn.
"Ah~ I see! It seems I misunderstood. Here, have another drink as an apology..."
"It's getting late, Xiaoxue'er, aren't we going home?"
The word "Little Xue'er" made Xue Qinghe pause slightly.
She shook her head, as if something had poked a nerve.
She tried to sober up, but once the alcohol hit, no one could resist, and her eyes quickly became glazed over again.
"Go back? What's the point of going back to that cold, lifeless place? Come on, let's chat until dawn tonight!"
"Okay~ then I'll risk my life to stay with Xiaoxue... Come on, let's go to my room to talk, we can chat and sleep at the same time, it'll be warm in bed..."
After saying that, the two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and staggered toward Jiang Yunzhou's courtyard.
Ning Rongrong and the other two women lived next door to Su. Hearing the commotion, they all came out to check and saw that the two men were drunk and about to have a fit of madness. They quickly went to help them up.
"Teachers, why are you drinking so much?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern.
"They've been drinking since dinner? How much have they drunk? Should we separate them first?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Okay, let's separate the two of them first."
Ning Rongrong helped Xue Qinghe up: "Your Highness, aren't you going home tonight?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to go back now."
The two were so drunk that they were incoherent and unable to answer any questions.
The three women tried their best to separate them and send them to their respective rooms, but the two men were holding on so tightly that they couldn't be separated at all.
"Damn, they're hugging way too tight, we can't break free!"
They looked at each other and reached a consensus: since they're both men, there's nothing wrong with sleeping together, right?
So the three "brilliant" men helped the two of them to Jiang Yunzhou's bed, fed them each a glass of water, and then returned to their own rooms.
As soon as they got into bed, a strong sense of drowsiness washed over them. Both of them had similar alcohol tolerance and were in similar states.
Unbeknownst to them, they followed the warmth and drew closer to each other, eventually embracing each other, their legs intertwined, their arms around each other, and falling into a deep sleep.
We agreed to chat until dawn, but we didn't say a single word.
The two of them slept well.
Liu Erlong waited another night, and her way of falling asleep was still the same: 'hand chop'.
She was already very skilled at 'how to gracefully knock herself out'.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the window lattice.
Knowing that their teacher and the crown prince had been very drunk the night before, the three women tacitly refrained from disturbing them and let them sleep until they naturally woke up.
The bright light made their eyelids tremble slightly, and their eyes moved slightly. Almost at the same time, they woke up.
Feeling the other's warm breath on their faces, they both immediately realized something was wrong...
This is the first time I've ever had this experience in my entire life.
Although I didn't want to open my eyes, I couldn't suppress that damned curiosity.
Finally, the two opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other in bewilderment.
There were no gasps or shouts, but the next second, they kicked out simultaneously with perfect coordination.
"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds followed.
The two rolled to opposite sides of the bed and fell onto the floor.
"Jiang Yunzhou! Why are you in a lonely bed?"
"Xue Qinghe! Look carefully, whose room is this! You're the one who climbed into my bed!"
Chapter 83 Next time I come, I'll make you drink again!
Jiang Yunzhou rubbed his dizzy head, trying to recall, but his mind went completely blank: "Damn, the last time I blacked out was in my past life, it feels like so long ago..."
Xue Qinghe did the same thing, his consciousness gradually returning, and he finally understood the current situation.
Her cheeks were visibly flushed. She had actually slept in this man's arms all night?
Fortunately, I am a man now. Otherwise, if I were to be taken into the Dao, not only would my innocence be in jeopardy, but I wouldn't even be able to sense it. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
I looked at the sun. How strange!
She slept exceptionally well that night, without even having a dream.
She wasn't actually too upset about what happened; that kick was purely an instinctive reaction.
After all, only she herself knows: she is a woman.
Of course, that's what she thought!
What she didn't know was that Jiang Yunzhou thought the same thing.
Luckily, I knew her background, otherwise I might have thrown up everything I ate last night...
It's just a bit of a shame that the first time I 'shared a bed' with this woman, she wasn't a girl?
"Haha~ Well, I just remembered something, we all seemed to have gotten quite drunk yesterday."
"Later...it seems that it was my three apprentices who brought us back."
