Chapter 342 Drowning Sorrows in Alcohol
"Xin Moling, what are you looking at?"
Hua Buyu raised her eyebrows and smiled with a malicious grin.
"Cough! It's nothing."
"Nothing? Really? Aren't you looking for someone?"
"Eat your food, and don't talk while eating or sleeping."
"Dormitory? Sleep? Damn it, you want to sleep with me?"
Hua Buyu suddenly raised her voice, attracting the attention of several people around her.
The one who lost face the most was undoubtedly Xin Moling. He regretted agreeing to be Hua Buyu's son's godfather, as his reputation was now ruined.
"If you keep acting crazy, believe me, I really will have Feng Qingyang prepare a mute potion for you?"
"Hehe~ Just kidding to lighten the mood, don't take it seriously!"
Hua Buyu's eyebrows curved into crescents, her face beaming with a fawning and ingratiating expression.
"Humph!"
Xin Moling glared at her, then realized that her sister had been quiet the whole time. Looking down at Xin Moyan's face, she was startled.
"Yan'er, are you...drunk?"
Xin Moyan's face was flushed red, and she even let out a burp. She looked up at her brother and smiled, looking quite naive.
"Brother...brother, I was thirsty, so I drank a little more of the flower wine. I'm not drunk yet!"
She was in a bad mood earlier, and seeing that everyone was just chatting, she poured herself some wine. Unexpectedly, the flower wine was sweet, quite like fruit juice.
"Yan'er, you're not allowed to drink anymore."
Xin Moling sighed in frustration, realizing she had been so busy talking that she hadn't paid enough attention to Yan'er.
"Hmm~"
With a thick nasal voice, she nodded obediently, reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, and snuggled into her brother's arms.
"Brother, Yan'er misses you so much!"
Xin Moling felt heartbroken seeing her sister so well-behaved yet drunk, so she quickly hugged her and gently patted her back.
"Yan'er, be good, your brother is here. You don't have to be afraid anymore."
"Huh? Is Yan Yan drunk?"
Hua Buyu craned her neck, wondering how she could be drunk after only a few words? She hadn't even chatted with Yan Yan yet!
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't kept me talking about this and that, Yan'er wouldn't have gotten so drunk."
"And you're blaming me for this? You were closest to Yan Yan, so how come you didn't notice she was drinking?"
"...I don't have time to argue with you right now."
"Has Sister Yan had too much to drink?"
Baili Jueyan tilted his head and saw his younger sister lying in his cousin's arms, and he burst into laughter.
"Hehe~ I didn't expect that Sister Yan is even less able to hold her liquor than I am."
These words earned him a cold, icy glare from someone.
Baili Jueyan pretended to slap his mouth and quickly said with a forced smile, "Cousin, I misspoke. Let's take my sister back to rest!"
Xin Moling hugged her younger sister as she pondered.
"Xin Moling, what are you daydreaming about?"
Hua Buyu waved in front of him.
"Yan'er is drunk, and I want to take care of her."
Seeing his hesitation, Hua Buyu rolled her eyes.
“Then let’s take care of her! We don’t need to go to Yan Yan’s Ziwei Palace. Let’s go to your… um Mi Suo Palace together. Although I still want to sleep with Yan Yan tonight, it’s okay. You can carry Yan Yan to her bedchamber to rest, and I’ll squeeze into the outer room with you. It’ll be more lively with the three of us.”
Xin Moling: "..."
He was no longer able to describe his feelings in normal words, nor did he have the energy to argue with Hua Buyu any longer. He asked Baili Jueyan to inform the person above him, then picked up his sister and left the scene, with Hua Buyu following behind him.
"Big brother?"
Baili Juexi stared at the departing figures of the group and called out worriedly.
Turning his gaze away, Baili Juebi remained largely expressionless.
"Axi, where is Shuiyi?"
He shrugged. "In her Indigo Palace, of course!"
"Ah."
Seeing that his elder brother didn't say anything more or have any doubts, Baili Juexi couldn't resist his curiosity.
"Big brother, you mean Ah Ling and Yi'er..."
Before he could finish speaking, the air pressure around him suddenly dropped, startling Baili Juexi so much that he shuddered and fell silent.
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
He smiled awkwardly and said, "To be honest, the eldest brother is the supreme authority. Who dares to disobey? Who dares to disobey?"
Throughout the journey, Hua Buyu kept nagging on and on, which made Xin Moling so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to her.
"Brother~ I want to walk by myself."
Xin Moyan twisted her body, still feeling very uncomfortable.
"Yan'er, be good. You're drunk. It'll be faster for your brother to carry you home."
"No, no! Brother, I want to go back with you... and Buyu... together."
"Xin Moling, Yan Yan isn't completely drunk yet! Just listen to her, we'll help her up, she won't fall."
Hua Buyu gave her a reassuring look.
"That's right! Brother~"
Xin Moling had no choice but to put her sister down, and the two of them quickly supported her arms.
"Silence... Where is Xuan Yuan?"
"Huh? How would I know?"
She pouted, her cheeks flushed, and her voice, filled with grievance, sounded slightly tearful.
"But... but I miss him!"
"I know, Yan Yan, don't worry, he'll be coming to find you soon!"
Hua Buyu could only offer gentle words of comfort, silently praying that Xuan Yuan would return soon.
"Yan'er..."
Xin Moling was extremely conflicted. He knew that Yan'er was suffering and that's why she was drinking to drown her sorrows.
As for where the distress lies? It is naturally Xuan Yuan. He can see that the three brothers truly love Yan'er, and Yan'er also truly approves of them. So when they caused Xuan Yuan's accident, Yan'er was heartbroken, but she didn't say a word.
After taking only a few steps, Xin Moyan suddenly stopped, turned around and gave the two of them a silly smile, then instantly threw herself into her brother's arms.
"Okay, brother, I'm sleepy again. I'll allow you to carry me back, even though Yuanyuan doesn't like it."
"My adorable little Yan Yan! She's drunk and still thinking about Xuan Yuan's words. If he heard her, wouldn't he be moved to tears?"
Hua Buyu sighed, "People in love!"
Xin Moling quickly picked up her younger sister and stopped chatting with Hua Buyu, then hurried back to Mi Suo Palace.
After a long while, looking at the sleeping Xin Moyan, the two sat on the edge of the bed, their eyes filled with love.
"Go back to your side hall later, we don't need you here."
"No way! I finally found Yan Yan. Even though I can't talk to her all night right now, I still need to take care of her!"
"Yan'er won't act crazy when she's drunk. She'll be fine after a good night's sleep. You're pregnant right now..."
The words of persuasion abruptly stopped. When the pregnancy was mentioned, the two looked up and exchanged a glance.
"Hua Buyu, could it be..."
"Uh, this..."
She tapped her two index fingers together, smiling awkwardly yet politely.
"Today I was so busy gossiping about other people that I forgot to gossip about myself. I haven't told Yan Yan that I'm pregnant yet."
"Phew~" He took a deep breath. "I knew you were unreliable."
"how about you?"
"What am I?"
Hua Buyu crossed her arms and looked confident.
"Hmph! Don't think I can't see through you. Ever since Yan Yan came back, you've been looking for Shui Yi all day!"
