Outside the Barbecue Restaurant.

"Hello, is this Kyushu Designated Driving?"

"Mhm, yes, this is..."

In the Car.

"Young Brother, is that your girlfriend? Amazing..."

"Old Brother, what are you thinking? I'm just a student, she's my sister!"

As it was nearing one in the morning, Chu Yu laboriously carried and dragged Su Ruo, who was drunk as a puddle of mud, to his home on the second floor.

Chu Yu also had the designated driver park Su Ruo's car in a spot downstairs.

Although Chu Yu lived alone, he fortunately cleaned regularly, so the guest room was basically still clean and tidy.

After carrying Su Ruo to the bed, taking off her shoes, and covering her with the quilt, Chu Yu was almost exhausted. People who are drunk are truly heavy.

Su Ruo on the bed still had a very red face, and it seemed the alcohol had not subsided at all.

Originally, after Su Ruo had placed her down, she tilted her head and slid off the pillow again.

"Such a bad sleeping posture," Chu Yu was a little speechless.

He bent down, preparing to place her head back on the pillow to prevent her from getting a stiff neck tomorrow.

As soon as his hand touched Su Ruo's cheek, Chu Yu felt a shadow rapidly enlarge.

Bang!

A dull thud echoed in the room.

Chu Yu fell heavily backward.

"Stay away from this Young Lady, Song Jiayu, you pervert, eunuch, twisted scoundrel! Even if all the men in the world died, this Young Lady would never be with you..."

Su Ruo on the bed suddenly sat up, wildly flailing her fists in the air in front of her, shouting with her eyes closed...

Chu Yu was completely stunned. Only the pain in his face told him what had happened!

Poor Chu Yu, who had kindly tried to adjust her pillow, didn't expect her to suddenly sit up and give him a headbutt. She wildly flailed her fists, and Chu Yu was hit once on the nose and left cheek, and twice on the right cheek.

"What... what kind of person is this!" Chu Yu's nose had been hit, and tears welled up.

"Such terrible sleeping posture, and such bad drinking manners. Whoever marries her in the future will have the worst luck in eight lifetimes!"

Su Ruo on the bed yelled for about half a minute, then suddenly leaned back heavily and fell down, her breathing... becoming even.

It was all due to her wild flailing. The quilt was kicked off the bed, the strap of her skirt slipped down to her arm, and she collapsed onto the bed.

Chu Yu originally didn't want to bother with her, but he was still worried she'd catch a cold later.

Enduring the pain on his face, he averted his eyes, trying his best not to look at scenes he shouldn't, picked up the quilt, and finally, carefully guarding against her potentially flailing fists again, covered her with the quilt, letting out a long sigh.

What kind of editor had he encountered? Don't most manga editors do their best to help manga artists solve problems?

How come with him, he had to drink with her, eat with her, and even get hit by her!

Su Ruo, on the other hand, slept soundly, but the slight drunkenness in Chu Yu's mind was completely shaken awake by Su Ruo. His face throbbed with pain, and he didn't know when he'd be able to sleep.

Shaking his head, Chu Yu turned off the light and left the room.

The next early morning.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a hole had opened up, and a downpour continued without stopping.

Thunder and rain sounded incessantly!

Su Ruo frowned, her consciousness gradually returning to soberness.

"It hurts... my head... it hurts so much!"

"Where... is this?"

Su Ruo's heart raced. She quickly looked around, then checked her clothes to see if they were intact.

"Thank goodness..."

Su Ruo let out a long sigh of relief.

By the bedside, a pair of slippers were placed.

A faint fragrance of food permeated the air.

Gurgle gurgle~~!

Her stomach protested.

Su Ruo got out of bed and opened the room door.

In the living room, Chu Yu was busy preparing breakfast.

Two bowls of noodles, served with Stir-fried Shredded Meat, Shredded Cabbage, Bean Sprouts, plus a Fried Egg, and a Cup of Warm Milk.

"Amazing, young man!" Su Ruo now remembered her Eating and Drinking with Chu Yu last night.

Since that was the case, it went without saying that this was Chu Yu's home!

She, on the other hand, wasn't shy at all about being Taken Care Of by Chu Yu after she got Drunk. In just a few steps, she arrived at the dining table and picked up a bowl of noodles.

Start Eating!

This Woman, truly had no Self-Awareness at all.

Su Ruo seemed genuinely hungry, eating her noodles the Entire Process without Speaking.

After finishing one bowl of noodles, she drank down the entire Cup of Warm Milk in one gulp.

Like a Reincarnated Hungry Ghost.

Chu Yu, watching from across the table, was Speechless.

But he had to admit, with the same Eating Method, if it were an Ordinary Girl, you might find it slightly Indecent.

But these Actions on Su Ruo, instead seemed a bit Cute, perhaps this was the effect of a High Appearance Value bonus.

After Su Ruo finished eating, she looked at Chu Yu with Appreciation, while also Scanning the surroundings.

"Not bad, young man, your house is Clean, and your Cooking Skills are so good. Whoever Marries you in the future will be Extremely Happy!"

Pfft!

Chu Yu spurted out a mouthful of milk and looked at Su Ruo!

Was she Driving?

As Soon As The Words Were Spoken, Su Ruo herself Felt Something Was Wrong, her face also reddened a bit. On the other hand, she didn't continue with this Topic for too long.

Su Ruo looked at her Mobile Phone, the time had already reached 9:20 AM.

"Wow, is it already this late?"

"Chu Yu, don't you have to Attend Class?"

Chu Yu looked at Su Ruo and said Annoyed.

"You were Drunk inside my home, I couldn't just leave you Alone, right? Consider it Skipping Class today!"

"On the other hand, why aren't you Hurried?"

"Although it's Past Nine O'Clock now, being Late is better than Skipping Work!"

Su Ruo, on the other hand, was indifferent.

"You can skip class, so why can't I skip work! I'll just write a report about going out to discuss manga plot with a manga artist and submit it. I don't think they'll dock my pay."

"But speaking of which, although we've chatted many times on Weixin before, this is the first time we've officially met at your home, and yesterday was the second time."

"If I remember correctly, you skipped class both times! Your father..."

Speaking of this, Su Ruo's eyes, which had been looking around randomly, finally noticed the memorial portraits of the young couple in the living room of Chu Yu's home, and her words came to an abrupt halt.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward!

Su Ruo, with her agile thinking, forcefully twisted the topic.

"No wonder you could create a work like The Garden of Words."

"What do you mean?" Chu Yu looked confused.

"Think about it! The male protagonist in The Garden of Words is a high school student who loves skipping class on rainy days and dreams of becoming a shoemaker."

"You're also a high school student, you love skipping class, and you dream of becoming a manga artist."

"Actually, the prototype for the male protagonist in The Garden of Words is you yourself..."

"Huh?" Chu Yu's mouth opened wide.

Hey hey, this is over-interpretation, a forced fit! I clearly just plagiarized the system's original work, how did you see so much into it?

"How about that, speechless now!"

Su Ruo looked proud.

"Since the prototype for the protagonist Qiu Yue in The Garden of Words is yourself as the author, it also means that whatever happens to Qiu Yue in the manga is what you wish would happen to yourself!"

"Unexpectedly! Young man, you're actually that kind of person!" Su Ruo looked at Chu Yu and teased.

"I... you've figured out what kind of person I am again?" Chu Yu found it a bit funny.

"Think about it, the heroine the male lead likes is Yukino, right? In the manga, she's several years older than the male lead..."

"Didn't I say before? What actually happens to the male lead is what you wish would happen to you!"

"From this, it can be seen that you are actually a sister complex!"

Cough Cough Cough!

Chu Yu almost couldn't breathe from anger, what is this and what is that!

Your imagination is too wild!

Su Ruo continued to speak.

After all, the young man's embarrassed appearance made her feel extremely amused, and she couldn't help but want to tease him!

"Let me think, since Yukino is the Female Protagonist, it means that Yukino embodies all your fantasies about women you like."

"And throughout your work, your key scenes all involve rain."

"The Male Lead Qiu Yue confessing to the Female Lead Yukino also happened on a rainy day."

"This indicates that a rainy day is an excellent backdrop for confession for you."

"A young man skipping class on a rainy day..."

"Meets a beautiful woman who skipped work on a rainy day, a woman who is disheartened in her career..."

"The two meet and develop feelings..."

The more she spoke, the more Su Ruo felt something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Until she noticed Chu Yu's strange gaze, and the pattering rain and booming thunder outside.

She realized.

A young man skipping class on a rainy day...

A beautiful woman disheartened in her career who skipped work on a rainy day...

Rainy weather...

The more she talked, the more it sounded like her and Chu Yu!
