Everyone was drinking and chatting, the atmosphere particularly mellow. Jiang Shiyu sat alone on a single sofa, his eyelids drooping, obscuring his expression. His bony fingers cradled a transparent glass filled with brown liquid. He said nothing, silently sipping his drink.
Yun Li found it strange; clearly, he wasn't welcome here, and with his temperament, he would have left long ago out of boredom. Yet, he lingered for quite some time. Meanwhile, Shu Ran and Cheng Zhou arrived late from upstairs. Shu Ran's parents had already gone to bed, so they no longer needed to pretend.
Shu Ran's face was slightly flushed, but she wore a sour expression. She had changed clothes; earlier she had been in a low-cut top, but now she wore a red turtleneck. Everyone teased her, playfully provoking her.
Shu Ran threw sugar oranges at them one by one, exclaiming, "Here, eat these!" Cheng Zhou sat down in gray attire and black dress pants, unfazed by the commotion. This infuriated Shu Ran even more. She wanted nothing more than to tear away his facade.
As it neared three in the morning and everyone was quite drunk, Peng Qingyu and Xu Nian had already gone to the guest room to rest. Yun Li helped Yu Meng and Shu Ran to their rooms while Qin Nianzhe rambled on drunkenly. The noise prompted Cheng Zhou to drag him off to the guest room with a dark expression.
Jiang Shiyu sank deeper into the sofa, appearing utterly languid. A faint blush colored his cheeks as his chest rose and fell rapidly; he had clearly consumed quite a bit. With no extra rooms available, Yun Li stepped out to find him still sitting there alone. He couldn't just leave him in the living room unattended!
Yun Li approached and stood about a meter away from him. "Hey! There are no more guest rooms; you should go home!"
After a long pause, Jiang Shiyu finally gathered himself. He leaned on the armrest of the sofa to stand up, his broad shoulders slumping as he lowered his head, struggling to maintain his balance.
Instinctively, Yun Li reached out to support him, grabbing hold of his arm. "Can you walk by yourself?"
He shook his head, his thin lips pressed together as if holding back something. With no other choice, Yun Li helped him out, grabbing his jacket as they made their way outside.
