Chapter 255: Strange and Cute
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Shenbai had just begun to kiss her when…
Burp!
Xu Youyou burped loudly.
Mo Shenbai: “...”
Xu Youyou blinked her deer-like eyes at him innocently as she looked at him.
Mo Shenbai sighed softly.
‘Forget it. I’m helpless against her.’
“Let’s go home,” Mo Shenbai said as he stroked her head.
Xu Youyou nodded obediently. However, although she was drunk, she did not forget her best friend. “Lanlan. Bring Lanlan home with us…”
“Okay,” Mo Shenbai replied as he glanced at Su Lanxu who was passed out drunk on the couch at the side.
Xu Youyou rose to her feet and stood on the couch before she spread her arms. “Piggyback! Mr. Bai, piggyback me home!”
Mo Shenbai’s dark eyes brimmed with love as he turned around without hesitation and said, “Come here.”
Nonetheless, he thought that whatever she did now, she would have to pay it back in the future.
Xu Youyou pounced on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her cheek rubbed against his ear as she said cheerfully, “Let’s go find our friend, Pipi the shrimp!”
Mo Shenbai: “...”
‘What is Pipi the shrimp? How can she be so strange and cute?’
Mo Shenbai carried Xu Youyou out of the room while Cang Ming carried Su Lanxu on his shoulders and took her away.
…
When they were nearing Moon Pavilion, Xu Youyou stopped the car and insisted on Mo Shenbai carrying her home.
The rain had stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of plants and soil. The night wind was rather chilly.
Afraid that Xu Youyou would catch a cold, he quickly draped his jacket on her body before he crouched down to piggyback her again.
Xu Youyou lay on his broad and strong back. Her face turned even redder when the wind blew against her.
Mo Shenbai held her firmly as he walked on the road that had been washed clean by the rain.
Cang Ming hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not get out of the car. Instead, he drove to the entrance of the house before he carried Su Lanxu out of the car again.
Perhaps, it was because Cang Ming’s shoulder was pressed against Su Lanxu’s stomach, which had been feeling uncomfortable due to the bumpy ride, and he had just barely taken more than a few steps when Su Lanxu suddenly vomited.
Cang Ming: “...”
…
Mo Shenbai’s shadow under the dim street lights was long.
Xu Youyou had felt hot after drinking so the cool breeze was a relief. Her hand moved from his neck to his ear before she began to play with his earlobe.
Mo Shenbai’s body stiffened as he paused in his footsteps briefly. Then, he said, “Stop playing.”
Xu Youyou did not listen to him. She said sweetly, “I want to play! I want to play!”
Although she was unreasonable, Mo Shenbai could not do anything to her. “Fine, play then.”
Xu Youyou was very satisfied and continued with what she was doing. Under the dim light, she could see the tips of his ears turning red. Then, she silently lowered her head and kissed his ear.
Mo Shenbai stopped walking. His body was tense, and his breathing grew heavier. No matter how cool the wind was, it could not dispel the heat in his body.
After Xu Youyou was done, she giggled and said, “Mr. Bai, I’ll tell you a secret.”
“Hm?”
“I have a special ability,” Xu Youyou whispered into his ear conspiratorially, “I can dream of the future. Everything I dream about comes true in the future…”
“I see.” Mo Shenbai was not surprised by these words. He was very calm. Compared to this secret, he was more concerned about other things such as whether or not she would kiss his ear again when they were home.
Xu Youyou suddenly whispered, “Mr. Bai, you’re really mean.”
“How am I mean?”
Xu Youyou pursed her lips. “You always bully me in my?dreams. The reality is even worse. You bully me even more ruthlessly.”
Mo Shenbai’s breathing hitched. He really wanted to put her down so he could look at her.
“How did I bully you in your dreams?”
Xu Youyou was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She gestured with her hands as she said vaguely, “Like this, this, and this…”
A smile appeared on Mo Shenbai’s face as he said in a low voice, “So you like this? Alright, let’s go home and try it out, okay?”
Xu Youyou punched him lightly. “No! Not okay!” After a pause, she added, “The bathroom is not okay.”
There was a big mirror in the bathroom. She would feel embarrassed every time he carried her past the mirror.
Mo Shenbai quickened his pace. “The bathroom it is.”
Xu Youyou lay on his back and did not say anything.
Mo Shenbai thought she was playing dead because she was shy. It was not until when he arrived home and placed her on the bed that he realized she had fallen asleep.
“...”
The night wind was cold, but his heart felt even colder at this moment.
…
It was sunny the next day.
Xu Youyou woke up with a splitting headache.
“Drink the hangover tea.”
She raised her head and saw Mo Shenbai.
His face was expressionless, and his voice was indifferent.
She obediently took the cup and drank the tea. When she returned the cup to him, she asked tentatively, “Did I do anything last night?
His expression did not look right.
Mo Shenbai tightened his grip on the cup as he said with a slight sneer, “Think about it yourself…”
Xu Youyou: “...”
Mo Shenbai did not intend on continuing the conversation. He turned around and left the room.
Xu Youyou’s memory stopped at the karaoke room. She vaguely remembered him singing to her and that his voice was rather pleasant.
‘What happened after that?’
No matter how she racked her brain, she could not remember what happened.
…
After washing up, Xu Youyou walked out of the room and ran into Su Lanxu who had just come out of the guest room.
The two young women looked at each other in dismay.
“You look terrible,” Su Lanxu said.
“You too,” Xu Youyou replied.
The duo sighed and said at the same time, “I won’t drink anymore.”
Their eyes met, and they burst out laughing.
“Youyou, thank you,” Su Lanxu said. When she was very sad, Xu Youyou did not ask any questions and accompanied her to get drunk.
“If you want to thank me, then how many times will I have to thank you?” Xu Youyou glared at Su Lanxu playfully.
Su Lanxu hugged Xu Youyou. “Alright, then I’ll just thank you with this hug.”
Xu Youyou nodded and returned the hug.
…
The two young women held hands as they went downstairs.
Mo Shenbai read the newspaper at the dining table.
Cang Ming, who was standing at the entrance, glanced at Su Lanxu occasionally from the corners of his eyes.
Su Lanxu did not notice Cang Ming’s strange gaze. It was her first time in Moon Pavilion so she was looking around curiously. When she saw the man at the dining table, she withdrew her curious gaze and said politely, “Chairman Mo, I apologize for causing your trouble last night.”
“It’s nothing,” Mo Shenbai replied tonelessly and instructed the butler to serve breakfast.
Su Lanxu was keenly aware that his mood was not quite right. She turned to the side and whispered to Xu Youyou, “Did I drink too much and make him unhappy?”
