Chapter 23

Views: 6

Xu Yitong parked the car on the side of the road, picked up the small sachet next to her, and got out of the car in her high heels.

With his arms folded, he leaned against the fiery red Ferrari and looked at the situation for two seconds. Then Xu Yitong shouted, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Chen Yuzheng stood up, someone grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Yu Nuo didn't even blink, and asked pitifully: "Brother, where are you going? I haven't told you about the Little Mermaid yet, don't you want to listen?"

Chen Yuzheng propped up her leaning body and said, "Listen later."

Xu Yitong's shoulders were shaking with laughter. She walked over slowly, supported her knees with her hands, bent down, and looked at Yu Nuo face to face for a while.

The drunk girl sat down obediently, but she still held Chen Yuzheng's clothes with her hands. Her cheeks flushed, and she instinctively felt a little uneasy. She secretly glanced at Xu Yitong and asked cautiously, "Brother, who is she?"

Xu Yitong couldn't help but laughed, "Chen Yuzheng, when did you recognize a sister?"

Chen Yuzheng paused, "She drank too much."

Xu Yitong teased, "You've made it big. You even got a girl drunk. What do you want to do with her?" She straightened up and shook her head, "You can't do that. It's against the law, Zheng."

Chen Yuzheng: “?”

"You think too much."

Yu Nuo was dazed, and suddenly covered his mouth and stood up. He stumbled to the side and found a tree. He held onto the trunk and squatted on the ground to vomit.

Chen Yuzheng followed closely and caught up.

He half-knelt down beside her, picked up the water he had just bought for her to rinse her mouth, and handed her a tissue to wipe her mouth.

After watching it intently for two more seconds, Xu Yitong was overwhelmed with joy and raised her phone to start filming. "No, I have to record it and send it to the group so that they can all see it."

Chen Yuzheng didn't have time to pay attention to her and patted Yu Nuo on the back.

She had never seen Chen Yuzheng like this in her life. Not to mention getting drunk with him, he would not even bother to respond if someone else said a few more words to him.

When can I be so humble and calm to a girl and even coax her

After Yu Nuo vomited, he staggered and fell back two steps.

Chen Yuzheng held her, originally just because he was afraid that she would fall, but Yu Nuo actually fell into his arms.

She put her hands around his waist and spoke incoherently, calling him "brother" one moment and "Andersen" the next.

While filming, Xu Yitong wanted to come up and help the people, but was rejected.

Chen Yuzheng paused for a moment, bent down, put one hand through her legs, lifted her waist, and carried her sideways.

He frowned and distractedly called out to Xu Yitong who was watching the fun: "Stop filming and open the car door."

I just sent a few short videos to my girlfriends group, and a few minutes later, there was a ding ding dong dong:

A: [Oh my god, this is your cousin? Who is that drunk girl?]

b: [Wow wow wow my little brother has grown up, give me a princess hug!!! So manly!!!]

A: [Remember the last time we went out to eat during the Chinese New Year, I was drunk and couldn’t stand steadily, what did your brother say to me??? He said “Don’t touch me”, he said don’t touch me??? Your brother, this absolute bastard, can actually be so gentle at times!!! I was wrong after all!!!]

c: [I am so happy to see Zheng Zheng fall in love in my lifetime. When I first met him, he was still a little boy in junior high school. Alas, we are all old now.]

Yu Nuo slowly regained consciousness in the midst of chaos. She drank too much and her throat was dry. She opened her eyes and wanted to pour a glass of water, but found herself lying on the bed.

The wall lamp beside the bed was on, emitting a slightly yellowish light.

She was stunned for a few seconds, then sat up with a start and looked around the strange room.

She lifted the silk quilt and got out of bed, stepping barefoot on the white blanket. Yu Nuo looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a white nightgown.

After a while, she tried hard to recall what happened last night.

After having a barbecue with Chen Yuzheng, she drank some wine and walked on the street again... I have no memory of what happened after that...

The cell phone was placed next to him. Yu Nuo's mind gradually cleared up and he picked it up to check the time.

Three o'clock in the morning.

She moved slowly, sat by the bed for a while, then stood up, opened the door, and walked down the corridor.

The lights in the living room outside were still on, and comic books and various Legos were spread out in the corner.

Xu Yitong held the game controller, stared at the TV screen, and yelled, "Hey, hey, hey, Chen Yuzheng, step back, don't die again."

While playing, he heard footsteps. Xu Yitong turned around, his eyes lit up, and called out, "Hey, Chen Yuzheng, your sister is awake!"

Yu Nuo: “…”

Chen Yuzheng leaned back on the sofa and glanced at her nonchalantly.

At the same time, a blood-red game over appeared on the TV.

Xu Yitong threw away the game controller in anger, climbed on Chen Yuzheng, and strangled him by the neck with his hands, "I told you to step back! I'm so mad!!!"

Chen Yuzheng tilted his head back, lazily threw away the game controller, and stopped Xu Yitong's actions, "Don't touch me."

Seeing the two of them playing around, Yu Nuo felt a little uncomfortable... It seemed like she showed up at a wrong time...

"Um... I..." Yu Nuo pointed at himself awkwardly, "I..."

Xu Yitong: "You were drunk just now, so we came to pick you up."

Yu Nuo thanked them reluctantly, feeling a little embarrassed: "Sorry to bother you. Where are my clothes? It's so late... I'll go back first?"

Xu Yitong ran over and looked Yu Nuo up and down several times, "No hurry, no hurry, you sit down first."

Yu Nuo was pulled by her and staggered, and fell down on the sofa.

Chen Yuzheng looked at her sideways, "Are you feeling better?"

Yu Nuo nodded. She was only wearing a thin nightgown, nothing underneath... At this moment, both of them were staring at her. She was a little uncomfortable, with guilt written all over her face. She moved to the side and awkwardly grabbed the pillow next to her to cover her chest.

Xu Yitong kicked away the game controller and sat cross-legged on the carpet. She supported her cheeks with both hands, looked at Yu Nuo with a smile, and asked with interest: "Sister, what is your relationship with Chen Yuzheng?"

"Ah?" Yu Nuo first glanced at Chen Yuzheng, and quickly explained, "Just a friend..." "Just a friend?!" Xu Yitong obviously didn't believe it, "I've never seen Zheng go out drinking alone with any girl."

Chen Yuzheng stood up.

Yu Nuo followed him closely with his eyes.

"I...clothes..." Yu Nuo asked hesitantly.

"I helped you change it." Xu Yitong said excitedly, "Hey, I was the one who helped you take a bath. How old are you, sister? You have a good figure. Woohoo, I like girls like you who are white, thin, with a slim waist and big breasts! Do you usually eat papaya?"

Yu Nuo's face flushed red.

Chen Yuzheng handed her a glass of water, glanced at Xu Yitong warningly, and said to Yu Nuo, "She is my sister."

Yu Nuo thanked him and said quickly, "Hello, sister."

"Don't call me sister, I'm too old." Xu Yitong straightened up, unhappy on her face, "Call me Tongtong!"

Yu Nuo took a sip of water, pretended to be calm, and answered Xu Yitong's question, "I'm 22 years old, and I don't usually eat papaya."

"Ah! You kept pulling Chen Yuzheng to call you brother yesterday, I thought you were underage."

Yu Nuo's face changed. She was still drinking water, but she couldn't hold it back and choked.

She covered her mouth, tilted her head, coughed violently, and stuttered: "W-what...?"

"Yes, you call him brother!"

After catching his breath, Yu Nuo didn’t dare to look at Chen Yuzheng’s expression at all.

There was no more embarrassing moment than this. She was publicly executed, so embarrassed that her head was about to smoke. She said hastily, "I, I don't remember. Maybe I was drunk and recognized the wrong person?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yuzheng's mouth.

Yu Nuo lowered her head, sinking into extreme shame... It was over, how could she face Chen Yuzheng from now on... .

Xu Yitong had enough of teasing and laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "I'm not going to tease you anymore. Why are you so shy?"

She stood up from the ground and hooked Yu Nuo's chin with her finger nostalgically, "Oh, so cute, just like a kitten."

"What do you say?" Xu Yitong yawned, "You all sleep at my house tonight?"

Yu Nuo immediately said, "I'll go back."

Yesterday we had a team building, and she was afraid that we would play very late again, so she brought her house keys with her.

Xu Yitong: "Your clothes are all dirty. I put them in the washing machine for you. They can only be dried tomorrow."

Chen Yuzheng stood up: "I'll go take a shower and take you back."

Yu Nuo looked at his back and exclaimed, "Don't bother, I'll take a taxi."

Xu Yitong suddenly thought of something, smiled slightly, and pulled Yu Nuo's wrist up, "Okay, then let my brother take you there. Come on, go to my room, I'll pick out some clothes for you."

Yu Nuo didn't feel comfortable bothering her anymore: "I'll take out the clothes and air them out. They should still be wearable."

"It's all right."

Xu Yitong pulled her upstairs, pushed open a door and turned on the light.

Yu Nuo stood at the door and looked inside.

There are panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides. Looking out from the glass, the lights outside are bright. The dressing table takes up almost half of the wall, and extremely expensive skin care products are lying in a crooked manner.

Xu Yitong opened the wardrobes one by one, supporting his chin with his hand and thinking.

Yu Nuo let her manipulate him like a rag doll.

Xu Yitong took out a few pieces of clothes, pulled her in front of the mirror, and patiently demonstrated each piece one by one.

Yu Nuo tilted his head, "Just find me one..."

"That won't do."

Yu Nuo changed several sets of clothes in a row, but Xu Yitong was not satisfied with any of them. She picked up another one and said, "Try this one."

...

...

Chen Yuzheng knocked on the door, "Are you guys done?"

There was no movement inside.

He knocked again.

Xu Yitong shouted from inside: "Wait a minute, don't be impatient! Wait two more minutes!"

Chen Yuzheng leaned against the railing, looking down at his phone.

There was a noise at the door. Xu Yitong poked his head out and blinked, "Brother, are you ready?"

Chen Yuzheng: “?”

He glanced behind her, "Preparing for what."

Xu Yitong took a step back and chuckled, "Come out!"

Yu Nuo didn't have the courage to look up. She was pushed lightly. She took two steps forward, feeling a little uneasy.

Xu Yitong: “How is it!”

Chen Yuzheng was silent for a moment, and then he casually scanned her from head to toe.

The light from overhead poured down, Yu Nuo's cheeks were soft, she was barefoot, her long hair was loosely tied up, and her neck was slender and porcelain white.

She was wearing a short, low-cut chiffon black floral tube top with two thin straps above the shoulders and a tie-back design at the back. Her two lotus-like arms were held up uncomfortably.

No one spoke. Yu Nuo laughed dryly twice, looked at Chen Yuzheng, and turned his head away uncomfortably.

She had never dressed like this before, and hesitated as she asked Xu Yitong, "Is it weird for me to dress like this...?"

"What's so strange?" Xu Yitong sighed and waved his hand in front of Chen Yuzheng's eyes. "Someone's eyes are fixed on this."

Chen Yuzheng raised the corner of his mouth and put away his phone, "Let's go."

Yu Nuo turned his head and stared at the night outside the window. The scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded.

There was a whistle sound in his ears, and Yu Nuo came back to his senses and said to Chen Yuzheng: "My home is in Century City... I'll give you a navigation."

Chen Yuzheng put his hands on the steering wheel and glanced at the rearview mirror. "No need."

"Um?"

She didn't think much about it, "Do you know the location?"

"have no idea."

Yu Nuo: “…”

Noticing that the car was on the elevated road, the route seemed a little off. Yu Nuo asked carefully, "So, where are we going?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"... ... ..Aren't you going to take me home?"

"That was the original plan."

"Um?"

"You're dressed like this." Chen Yuzheng paused and said, "I changed my mind."

Yu Nuo: “… ..”

...

...

Yu Nuo didn't know where Chen Yuzheng was taking her, so she didn't ask. She sat silently in the passenger seat, lowered her head, and played with her fingers.

She was mentally exhausted, but she felt relaxed. She didn't know what was going to happen when she was with him, but she felt at ease.

Chen Yuzheng suddenly asked: "Are you feeling better?"

Yu Nuo tilted his head: "What?"

She responded, "I drank too much yesterday... Did I tell you something?"

"I did." Chen Yuzheng chuckled, "Keep calling me brother."

Yu Nuo: “…”

He casually asked, "Have you ever raced a car?"

"Um?"

"Take you to try?"

Yu Nuo just screamed, but before he could react, the roof of the car made a noise, and the roof began to automatically shrink from front to back, and wind rushed in from all directions.

The sports car emitted a low roar and accelerated in an instant.

Yu Nuo's hair was blown away and she was almost blinded.

On the viaduct in the early morning, the Ferrari was like a red lightning. The feeling of weightlessness instantly made her scalp numb, and she bumped into the back of the chair, feeling like she was going to fly out. Yu Nuo closed her eyes tightly and screamed uncontrollably.

She huddled together pitifully, her face completely devoid of color.

Chen Yuzheng was amused and tilted his head to call her, "Sister."

The wind was too loud, and Yu Nuo's panicked voice was intermittent: "I can't do it anymore, you first, stop for a moment."

Chen Yuzheng: "Open your eyes."

She was at a loss, her voice trembling: "I dare not..."

His soft chuckle was right beside his ear, and Yu Nuo tightened his seat belt.

The car continued to move forward, and when the feeling of weightlessness passed, the sound of the whistling wind was heard in her ears. She had a tangled expression and slowly opened her eyes.

Yu Nuo was stunned for a moment.

The star-filled night sky was nearly dark blue. The brilliant rainbow lights and the fading shadows flashed like a yellow line that flowed by.

After staring blankly for a while, Yu Nuo turned his head.

Chen Yuzheng's well-defined face looked very handsome under the alternating light and dark, and there was still a remnant of smile at the corner of his mouth.

Maybe it was because of nervousness or something else, but Yu Nuo's heart suddenly started beating out of control.

Yu Nuo quickly looked away.

She was out of her mind, feeling like she had just survived a catastrophe... .

I quietly moved my hand to the edge of the car, spread my fingers, and felt the wind passing by.

The car showed no sign of slowing down, and Yu Nuo was a little worried: "... I feel like speeding is really dangerous... Why don't you stop first?"

Chen Yuzheng leaned against the window, bent his elbows, and propped up his head with his hands. "Call me brother again?" Yu Nuo's mind went blank. "Huh?"

"Call me brother and I'll stop."
