A soft clinking sound rang out, but it wasn't the crisp sound of wine glasses clashing.
Hu Teng, like Guang Hui, collapsed onto the table.
Aurora looked at Hu Teng, sighed softly, and slowly lowered the wine glass in her hand.
"I won today..."
Chapter 174 Aurora
Aurora had realized a problem before today.
She likes Xu Huan.
And with her gentle and kind way of dealing with people, she could win Xu Huan's favor...
And that was indeed the case. After spending a long time together, the two had already developed a deep emotional foundation, and all that was left was that crucial final step.
But this final step is much more difficult than all the previous steps combined.
There's nothing else to it... it's just that there are quite a few ship girls in the port area who have impure thoughts about Xu Huan right now.
Although the young man himself may not realize it, many external factors will invisibly hinder the relationship between Aurora and Xu Huan.
In layman's terms, her gentle and mild-mannered approach to people and things is a fatal flaw when facing other ship girls who are more assertive or even unscrupulous.
Take today for example. If I had acted as usual, it would probably be me lying in bed now, not Glorious.
Aurora didn't want to fight for much else; she just wanted to take back what she deserved.
I just wanted to protect the time and people that belong to me... so I was forced to make some small changes.
Although these were not her original intentions, the outcome was a good thing.
After Xu Huan settled Guanghui in, he saw Hu Teng lying on the dining table and Aurora staring blankly to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
"Another one down? Then let's just call it a night." Xu Huan rubbed his forehead. "Thank goodness for your gummy bear, otherwise I doubt I'd even be able to stand up..."
"Mm..." The blonde girl turned around and smiled slightly, "Thank you again, Xu Huan..."
"No problem. Putting everything else aside, there's definitely enough room to sleep at home."
Following the same posture and manner in which he had picked up Guanghui, Xu Huan picked up the drunken little wildcat and headed towards another room.
It must be said that body shape is an important and intuitive indicator of weight.
Hu Teng, whom I was holding, was noticeably lighter than Guang Hui.
After he had settled Hu Teng out, the restaurant had already been mostly cleaned up by the very skilled Aurora.
The young man simply took two cans of juice from the refrigerator, stood aside, and waited for Aurora to finish the remaining work.
"I feel like... even though we're both people who ate gummy candies, there's a huge difference between you and me, Aurora..." Xu Huan asked, watching Aurora's swift and skillful movements.
"I'm still a little dizzy, but Aurora... you seem no different than usual..."
"That's because the commander drank too much..."
When Aurora heard Xu Huan's question, she visibly froze for a moment before hurriedly explaining.
Lying to Xu Huan was not her forte.
Actually, there weren't just two gummies. To ensure the plan went smoothly, she secretly took two more, and they were both inside her stomach at the moment.
This was simply to ensure the plan went perfectly...
Unlike Hu Teng and Guanghui, she didn't have the idea of getting Xu Huan slightly drunk so that it would be easier for them to be intimate later.
Okay...
Xu Huan nodded. Although he sensed something was off about the girl, he didn't ask any further questions.
Aurora secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to extend an invitation: "Commander... will you take me back later?"
Although the girl was not drunk at all, her face was flushed and even her neck was covered with pink blush when she said these words.
The ship girl avoided eye contact with the young man, her heart pounding with tension.
The straightforward invitation, the ambiguous atmosphere, and considering their relationship, made it clear to Xu Huan that Aurora's talk of sending him back wasn't as simple as it sounded.
"Okay."
Without much hesitation, Xu Huan readily agreed, knowing that even the slightest thought would lead Aurora to believe something negative.
"Mmm~~"
The girl squinted her eyes, her crescent-shaped eyebrows reflecting her joyful mood. Her heart, which had been pounding in her throat, suddenly relaxed completely in an instant.
"I like you the most... Xu Huan."
Aurora smiled sweetly.
-------------------------------------
"squeak--"
The door was gently opened, and Aurora stepped into the foyer first, taking out the slippers she had previously reserved for the young man.
The adorable white sheep was still embroidered above, but compared to Xu Huan, Aurora in front of him now looked more like the little sheep embroidered above.
"Commander, quickly change your shoes~~~"
As Aurora spoke, she said with a smile, "The commander should already know this place very well... so I'm too lazy to act as a tour guide again?"
It's more than just familiar; Aurora has basically a set of all the daily necessities that Xu Huan needs. It's no exaggeration to say that she is Xu Huan's second home.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of Aurora first when he had nowhere to stay...
"Hmm? I've already completed the task, haven't I?" Xu Huan said, without taking the slippers Aurora offered him.
"Well....?"
"Now that Aurora is home, I'll head back first—"
Xu Huan smiled slightly and was about to turn around and leave when she discovered that the girl was much faster than her.
"Xu Huan, you—"
The girl was about to speak, somewhat angrily, when the young man leaned down and gently silenced her with a kiss.
"Well--"
The sound of liquids intertwining gradually spread through the air, and the ship girl's body gradually softened. The hands that were originally on Xu Huan gradually wrapped around the young man's neck.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Aurora's emerald-green eyes had become hazy, and a moist look seemed about to overflow from them.
"What kind of joke is this... Xu Huan..."
She lowered her head slightly, resting it against the young man's chest, breathing softly, her nose completely enveloped by his breath.
Coupled with the intimate behavior just now, Aurora felt as if she was about to succumb to it.
No, it should be "already".
"A little bit of a quirk...please forgive me."
Xu Huan explained softly, then picked up the ship girl in front of him in a princess carry-like motion.
If you don't take the initiative at times like this, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?
I'm also holding back my anger...
"Go take a shower first...go take a shower first—um—"
The ship girl's voice gradually moved inwards and finally faded away.
Chapter 175 All are people with open and honest hearts.
The next day, morning.
As time went by, the sunlight gradually became more dazzling, and Hu Teng was gently awakened by the blinding sunlight.
My mind is still a mess, mixed with fragmented memories of last night's dinner. The scene of clinking glasses and lively conversation seems to have not faded away, flashing before my eyes like a revolving lantern.
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar ceiling, Hu Teng rubbed his throbbing head and slowly sat up straight on the bed.
The bedding was very soft, but the fresh smell on it was somewhat unfamiliar.
This is Xu Huan's new home... no, it's the house after it's been renovated.
As fragmented memories began to piece together, Hu Teng gradually became aware of his current situation.
Did I... drink too much and pass out?
As his mind began to recall the scenes from last night, Hu Teng's originally relaxed brows gradually began to furrow.
It wasn't because of a hangover that she felt unwell, but because Hu Teng realized that even as she collapsed, other ship girls were still active at the dinner table.
"Xu Huan... and Aurora... something's not quite right?"
Recalling the corresponding candidates, the ship girl began to have an ominous premonition.
Why did the two people, who were originally estimated to have the biggest difference in drinking capacity, both manage to hold on until the end yesterday?
