"Yeah, so what if I'm smiling?"
Ye Xiaohan playfully pulled Gu Bei's face into a smile. "Why are you so fixated on the Third Prince? He's my friend, and isn't it normal for our relationship to improve?"
"No way!" Gu Bei tightened his grip on Ye Xiaohan's hand. "You can't smile at him!"
Ye Xiaohan released her tortured face, which was slightly flushed. However, since Gu Bei had been drinking and his face was already a bit red, she decided to attribute it all to the alcohol and wouldn't admit otherwise if asked.
"If I can't smile at him, then who should I smile at?" Ye Xiaohan asked with a sideways glance. "You, the Drunkard?"
To her surprise, Gu Bei nodded seriously. "From now on, you can only smile at me! No one else!"
"Eh?" Ye Xiaohan said disdainfully. "I never realized you had such thick skin!"
Gu Bei simply stared at her, as if he would remain in this state for a thousand years if she didn't agree.
"Alright, alright! You win! Is that good enough?" Ye Xiaohan pushed Gu Bei with all her might. It was better to get away from the Drunkard as soon as possible.
But the difference in their strength was too great, and Gu Bei was drunk, not controlling his strength like usual. Ye Xiaohan couldn't break free at all.
"Seriously, what do you want?" After struggling for a while, Ye Xiaohan finally decided to abandon trying to straighten Gu Bei's face and asked.
Gu Bei stared into her eyes without blinking. Just when Ye Xiaohan thought he couldn't hear her because he was too drunk, he spoke up.
"Then... give me a kiss," Gu Bei said with an expressionless face, making a bold request. "In your heart, I'm more important than the Third Prince. You can't kiss him; you can only kiss me."
How did it come back to the Third Prince again? Was this a deadlock? Ye Xiaohan felt like she was losing control of her hands, trying not to reach out to Gu Bei.
"If I kiss you, will you let me go?" Ye Xiaohan looked at Gu Bei skeptically. Was this guy really drunk? How could he still make such demands while intoxicated?
But think about it, it is impossible for Gu Bei to do such shameless things when he is sober. It seems that he is really drunk. Don't reason with Drunkard, this is a wise saying. Otherwise, you will only be angry to death. Ye Xiaohan I plan to deal with it now and then get my money back with profit later. She came up, kissed Gu Bei on the face, and said: "The kiss is over, can you let go now?" Gu Bei's eyes were bright, staring at Ye Xiaohan, even with a trace of foolish. He loosened his hand slightly, and Ye Xiaohan got up helplessly, thinking that the trouble was finally over. Suddenly, the ground was spinning, and Ye Xiaohan felt a force suppressing her movements. When the dizziness passed, she realized that Gu Bei had turned over and pinned her down. Hey, haven’t you finished drinking yet? "What are you doing?" Ye Xiaohan pushed Gu Bei hard, "Go down quickly, you're dead!" Gu Bei had no control over his strength, and his whole weight was pressed against it. Ye Xiaohan felt that his lungs had already It's running normally. "If you kiss me, I will kiss you too." Gu Bei kept a serious face and talked nonsense, and Ye Xiaohan wanted to slap him. "Calm down!" Ye Xiaohan patted Gu Bei's face and said, "If I see you drinking again, just wait for me to put medicine in your cup!" Gu Bei was stunned. Repeated: "Drink, take medicine, okay." "You're so big!" Ye Xiaohan couldn't push Gu Bei, which was as heavy as a mountain, and gave up helplessly. Forget it, just kiss me if you are kissed. Anyway, I kissed him, so it’s not a loss.
Gu Bei's face drew closer, close enough that they could feel each other's breath. The wine brought by Murong Jing was indeed a rare vintage; not only was it potent, but its aroma was also quite pleasant. There was no ordinary smell of alcohol on Gu Bei; instead, the warmth of his body seemed to enhance the rich fragrance of the wine.
Ye Xiaohan felt her heart race and her cheeks flush uncontrollably. She silently cursed herself for being so easily swayed by a drunkard, while at the same time, she felt a flicker of anticipation within herself.
Just as Ye Xiaohan thought Gu Bei was about to kiss her, she noticed him stiffen and stop moving. Before she could even wonder why, Gu Bei suddenly collapsed.
"How heavy!"
In an instant, Ye Xiaohan's first reaction was to realize that Gu Bei had been controlling his weight just moments before.
"Hey, Drunkard, what kind of trick is this?" Ye Xiaohan exclaimed as she forcefully lifted his head from where it had fallen against her neck. "If you keep this up, I'm really going to hit you!"
However, Gu Bei's eyes were closed, and he showed no response. Just then, Ye Xiaohan felt a shadow loom over her.
She looked up to find Luo Jingxian standing there.
Luo Jingxian's expression was a mix of panic and fear, his hand still raised as if he had just performed a chopping motion.
Wait, did Luo Jingxian knock Gu Bei out? What kind of act is this?
Before Ye Xiaohan could ask, she saw a clear look of disgust in Luo Jingxian's eyes as he swiftly grabbed Gu Bei and tossed him onto the ground.
"Ouch!"
The heavy sound of Gu Bei hitting the solid ground made Ye Xiaohan wince in sympathy. That spot would surely bruise.
Ye Xiaohan shifted her gaze back to Luo Jingxian and noticed a hint of concern in his eyes.
Looking at Luo Jingxian and Gu Bei lying on the ground, Ye Xiaohan felt she could roughly guess what had happened.
Earlier, when Gu Bei was drunk, his commotion had been heard by Luo Jingxian. For martial artists like them, their physical abilities were superior to ordinary people, and their hearing was exceptionally sharp.
However, in her current state of occasional clarity and confusion, she couldn't accurately determine whether this was just a couple showing affection.
Seeing Ye Xiaohan struggling and Gu Bei pressing down on her, Luo Jingxian assumed Ye Xiaohan was being bullied and hurried over, suppressing her panic and disgust towards outsiders to come to the rescue.
It truly left one speechless.
Ye Xiaohan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the situation; one was a Drunkard, and the other was unconscious, yet both were causing a ruckus.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Faced with Luo Jingxian's anxious concern, Ye Xiaohan could only climb out of bed and demonstrate her body: "See? I'm perfectly fine! It's all thanks to your timely arrival!"
With that, she approached to check on Gu Bei and found that he had merely fainted, letting out a sigh of relief. Unlike what was portrayed in dramas, the back of the neck was actually a very vulnerable area.
When delivering a chop, it was impossible to control it with such precision. In reality, a single strike could either knock someone out or kill them—each outcome had a fifty-fifty chance depending on luck.
Seeing that Gu Bei was okay, Ye Xiaohan decided to leave him lying on the floor for now and went to comfort Luo Jingxian instead.
No matter what, it was better to calm her down first. Otherwise, if Luo Jingxian started going crazy too, who knew how long the night would drag on.
Under Ye Xiaohan's soothing words, Luo Jingxian finally calmed down and was escorted back to her room.
Afterward, Ye Xiaohan resignedly dragged Gu Bei onto the bed before she could finally return to her own room.
The ups and downs of the past few days had truly exhausted her. Ye Xiaohan quickly tidied herself up and collapsed into bed.
The next day, Ye Xiaohan surprisingly slept in. Although she was awake, she didn't want to get out of bed and planned to linger a little longer.
However, it seemed she was destined for a life of toil. After just a short while, someone knocked on her door.
"Sister-in-law, are you up?"
The voice of Liu Yang came from outside. "A large group of people has arrived, including Liu Chancellor and the Imperial Physician sent by the Emperor!"
"Huh?" The sleepiness vanished in an instant. Ye Xiaohan threw on a robe and opened the door. "Liu Chancellor and the Imperial Physician? Why would the Emperor send someone here?"
A sudden thought struck her, causing her to gasp in shock. "Could it be that the Emperor knows?"
Only the identities of Luo Cheng and Luo Jingxian could warrant such attention from the Emperor. Otherwise, with Ye Xiaohan's commoner status, there was no way she could be involved with the Emperor.
"Sister-in-law, what should we do now?" Liu Yang asked anxiously. "The Emperor isn't here to arrest Bai or the princess, is he?"
His concern only added to the chaos. Ye Xiaohan shot him a glance; whenever Luo Jingxian was involved, his intelligence seemed to plummet.
"That won't happen. If the Emperor were here to arrest someone, why would he bring the Imperial Physician?" Ye Xiaohan replied. "Besides, how could the Emperor so openly persecute the prince and princess of Exiled Nation? He’s not insane enough to create trouble for himself."
