Their gazes met and sparks flew.
No one wanted to be outdone.
Huo Xuanâs expression was cold and Qin Haoâs eyes were dull with a hint of foolishness.
Seeing this, Huo Siyu quickly stood up and interrupted, âBrother, Iâll send Qin Hao back. He drank so much and lives alone. Iâm worried about him.â
Qin Hao looked at her side profile and a glint flashed across his eyes.
He put an arm around her waist and leaned his chin on her shoulder. âIâm a little dizzy.â
Huo Siyu quickly held him up.
âBrother, I think Qin Hao is really drunk. Iââ
âIf you want to send him home, so be it!â Qin Hao was a wolf in sheepâs clothing and Rainy was still being silly. She didnât even know that she had been deceived!
Forget it. He didnât want to care anymore.
Qin Hao was also rather pitiful. His home was in the capital, but he lived outside by himself.
Since Rainy was one of the four top killers, her skills should be good. Presumably, with Qin Haoâs current ghastly state, he could not take advantage of Rainy either.
Although he thought so, he was still very unhappy.
Huo Siyu also sensed that Huo Xuan was angry, but she really couldnât ignore Qin Hao.
She could send someone to send Qin Hao back, but what about after that?
The two of them had lived together for so long, so she knew very well that Qin Hao didnât like outsiders stepping into his apartment. She couldnât ask Xue Yi or anyone else to take care of him, so she could only do it herself.
Brother was being too much. They had already lived together for so long, but he still targeted Qin Hao. It was such a headache.
âThen Iâll send him back first. Brother, drive carefully.â
âWeâll get going first,â she said to Yan Jinyu and the other two.
âDo you really not need me to send someone to help you?â Xi Fengling asked.
âThereâs no need for that.â As she spoke, she helped Qin Hao leave.
Xi Fengling asked Yan Jinyu, âBeauty Yu, what about you and Second Young Master Yin?â
âThank you. Iâm not drunk. We can go back by ourselves.â Other than having a slight blush, Yin Jiujin looked very normal.
He held Yan Jinyuâs hand and stood up steadily. He even took the down jacket, scarf and hat hanging at the side and put them on Yan Jinyu one by one.
He really didnât seem to be drunk.
âWeâll make a move first,â Yan Jinyu said with a faint smile as she held Yin Jiujinâs hand.
âLetâs go together,â Min Rufeng said.
Yan Jinyu didnât object. Huo Xuan also followed and everyone left the private room.
They headed for the parking lot.
They each went to look for their own cars.
Xi Fengling and Min Rufeng left first.
Yin Jiujinâs car was parked in the same direction as Huo Xuanâs, so three of them walked together.
No one said anything.
When they arrived, Huo Xuan bade his farewell and walked towards his car. Yan Jinyu politely said, âBe careful on the road.â
Not long after Huo Xuan turned around, Yin Jiujin pulled Yan Jinyu into his arms and leaned his chin on her shoulder. âLittle Yuâer.â
âYes?â
âWhy do you care about others?â His voice was soft as if he was acting coyly.
Yan Jinyuâs heart softened. âWhat do you mean by caring about others?â
âYou just told Huo Xuan to be careful on the road.â
âWhatâs so strange about that? Isnât that how normal people interact? Heâs Little Rainâs brother, so heâs considered one of us.â
âHmph! What one of us! Heâs always going against me in the business world. Heâs not one of us!â
âAlright, alright. Heâs not one of us. You can say whatever you want. Brother Nine, shouldnât you let go of me first? We should be going back now.â
Yin Jiujin really let go of her obediently. However, he still wrapped his arms around her and lowered his head to kiss her glabella. âLittle Yuâer, can you carry me back?â
His action of kissing her forehead was extremely gentle and even had a hint of coquettishness.
To be honest, Yan Jinyuâs heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
âWhat are you thinking about? If I really carry you from here to the Mount West Villa, the sky will be bright by then.â
âShall we walk back then?â
ââŠâ Yan Jinyu. Was there a difference?
Most importantly, he was even asking seriously.
Yan Jinyu wouldnât believe that he wasnât drunk.
âCut it out. It takes 40 minutes to drive back and you still want to walk back?â
Yin Jiujin hugged her tightly and rubbed his chin on the top of her head. âLittle Yuâer, Iâve never taken a walk in the capital after dark. The capital only gives me depressing memories. Can you accompany me for a walk?â
After Yan Jinyu heard that, her heart suddenly ached for him.
She raised her arms to hug him back.
The villa Meimei had bought for her seemed to be not far from here. If they walked, they could reach it in an hour.
Meimei said that she often arranged for people to clean that place and they could stay there anytime.
âAlright, Iâll accompany you.â
âLet go of me first and weâll walk back.â
âLittle Yuâer, youâre the best.â
Yan Jinyu was about to lament that he was really like a child when her face was held in his hands and her lips felt a cool sensation.
Yin Jiujinâs kiss was very gentle. It didnât take long before he let go of her.
Then, he held her hand, âLittle Yuâer, letâs go.â
If it wasnât for the fact that his footsteps were unsteady and he looked a little different from usual, Yan Jinyu would have thought that he wasnât drunk.
She held his hand tightly instead.
It was really because he kept stumbling to the side as he walked and Yan Jinyu was worried that he would fall the very next second.
âBrother Nine, can you really walk?â
âYes, Iâm not drunk.â
They walked out of the parking lot and onto the sidewalk. There were trees on both sides of the road. The trees in the winter had no leaves, but it did not seem desolate when the two of them walked slowly under the trees. Instead, it made the cold winter seem warmer.
In a car in the parking lot, Huo Xuan only drove away after seeing the two of them leave.
***
In a high-end apartment somewhere.
Huo Siyu parked the car and opened the front passenger door, preparing to help the drowsy Qin Hao out of the car.
âQin Hao, weâve arrived. Wake up first.â
Qin Hao opened his eyes in a daze. âWhere are we?â
âWeâre home. Get out of the car first. Youâre too heavy for me to carry.â
Home?
Qin Haoâs dazed eyes instantly became clear.
It was only for a short moment, but he quickly returned to his original state.
He liked the saying âweâre homeâ.
Home?
Ever since he left the Qin Family and joined the army, he had always lived outside when he came back occasionally. It had been a long time since he had the concept of home.
It was better before his sister got married.
He could look for his sister whenever he came back.
Later on, his sister got married and had her own family. He did not want to disturb her anymore. Besides, reality did not allow him to be a brother who only relied on his sister.
He had known since he was young that he had to become strong and become his sisterâs pillar of support.
He got out of the car with âdifficultyâ and let Huo Siyu help him upstairs.
The two of them had lived together for almost a year, so Huo Siyu was also familiar with this place. The elevator went to the floor of their apartment, and she entered the passcode to open the door.
She switched on the lights and took out two pairs of slippers. âChange your shoes first.â
Qin Haoâs actions of changing his shoes wasnât slow at all. Unfortunately, Huo Siyu was also changing her shoes and supporting him with one hand so she did not notice at all.
After changing her shoes, Huo Siyu helped him to the sofa to sit down.
âSit down first. Iâll get you a glass of water.â
Just as she turned around, Qin Hao grabbed her wrist.
Before Huo Siyu could react, Qin Hao pulled her forcefully and Huo Siyu fell into his arms. She wanted to stand up, but she was trapped tightly.
âQin Hao, let go of me first. Iâll get you a glass of water.â
âNo, I donât want to drink water.â
âYou still have to let go of me first.â
âRainy, do you hate me?â
ââŠâ Huo Siyu. Why was it about this again?
Wasnât that question over and done with?
She looked up at him from his arms. âI donât hate you. Where did you get this understanding from?â
âIf you donât hate me, then w-why arenât you as close to me as before?â
What?
Seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, Huo Siyu finally realized what he was referring to.
She actually felt a little guilty.
She was teasing him in the past. He was always so serious and she found it especially interesting to make him lose his composure.
Qin Hao had never taken the initiative to mention this matter. Now that he had actually mentioned it with such a focused gaze, it seemed like alcohol really boosted his courage.
âWhy arenât we close anymore? Arenât we hugging now?â
âThis doesnât count. We were clearly closer than this in the past. Rainy, youâve always been unwilling to get close to me like before. If you donât hate me, what is it?â
âI really donât hate you.â Huo Siyu felt a headache coming on. Why was a drunk person so difficult to deal with?
âI donât believe you.â
âWhat do I have to do for you to believe me?â
âUnless youâre as close to me as you were before.â
She did not know if it was an illusion, but Huo Siyu felt that Qin Hao was exceptionally different tonight. Not only was his gaze not as dull as before, but he also did not seem so dull anymore.
Her gaze landed on his lips unconsciously.
It wasnât like she had never kissed him before. Now that she looked at him, her heart actually started to beat faster.
What the hell.
âRainyâŠâ
âAlright, alright. Iâll prove it to you.â She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
But gradually, Huo Siyu felt that something was wrong.
In the past, she was always the one who led the kiss. This time, she was clearly the one who took the initiative but why did she become the one who took it passively in the end?
She wanted to push him away, but she couldnât.
She was trapped by him and had no choice.
She was quite strong too but she actually had no room to resist Qin Hao at all.
He was indeed a rough man in the army.
However, she was used to being the dominant party. She actually felt that it wasnât bad that she was suddenly the submissive party.
Even though there was something wrong with her.
Not only was her heart racing, but her face was also burning.
Of course, this was definitely not shyness.
She refused to admit that she was shy.
Just as she was about to suffocate, Qin Hao let go of her.
Just as she was about to question him, she realized that the culprit had already fallen asleep!
ââŠâ Huo Siyu. She had nowhere to vent her anger!
She looked at Qin Hao, who had closed his eyes.
Needless to say, one could not see his honest and straightforward eyes now. Qin Hao actually looked quite pleasing to the eye.
He seemed more interesting than usual when he was drunk.
She knew that Qin Hao really treated her as his future wife. Even if he wouldnât take the initiative to take advantage of her because of his personality, he wouldnât push her away when she wanted to get close to him.
He even seemed to like her closeness now that he was drunk.
He was also considerate of her in every aspect. On the day she moved in with him, he had given her his wage slip. Although she had never used it, his wage slip was still in her hands now.
Later on, when she went to North City to look for Beauty Yu, he even specially asked Yin Jiujin to take care of her.
Didnât that prove that he was always considerate of her?
