Drunkenness Without Drinking (Month

"Ya Fei!"

"Shh... Your sister is drunk. Don't disturb her sleep!" Ya Fei looked at Xiao Fan through hazy eyes, her gaze unfocused.

Xiao Fan was rather surprised. How had Ya Fei found his residence?

"Ya Fei... You haven't even had any wine. How could you be drunk?" Xiao Fan looked helplessly at Ya Fei, who was occupying his bed and pretending to sleep. There was not even a trace of alcohol on her. How could she possibly be drunk?

"I don't care. Your sister is sleeping here tonight."

"The Xiao Family must have arranged lodging for you..."

"No!"

Xiao Fan was speechless. Reasoning with women was impossible.

Since Ya Fei refused to admit it, Xiao Fan simply let her occupy the bed.

"Fine, then go to sleep."

"Hehe, stinky little brother really does care about me."

"Come on, let your sister hug you."

Looking at that intimidating figure, Xiao Fan hesitated, but he still followed his heart and walked to the bedside.

Someone suddenly hugged him from behind. There was no bony sharpness, only the soft, dense sensation of flesh cushioning against him.

For some reason, the two fell asleep in each other's arms, with Ya Fei holding Xiao Fan tightly.

"Hmph hmph, stinky little brother, you need to grow up quickly." Ya Fei teased.

"Your sister can't wait much longer..."

"Xiao Fan... Xiao Fan, your sister will wait for you, wait for you to turn back."

Steady breathing drifted over, mixed with faint snores.

Xiao Fan slowly turned around and breathed in the faint fragrance wafting from Ya Fei's body. He looked at her stunningly beautiful face, not yet tempered by the years. Her palm-sized face, her two light yet clearly defined, beautifully shaped brows, and her clear, lovely eyes complemented one another perfectly. Her long lashes were damp with a faint mist of moisture, and her straight, delicate nose was slightly red, perhaps because she had just been lying on top of Xiao Fan...

Her fair, tender skin was utterly flawless, white as an unblemished canvas. Its texture was fine and even, without the slightest trace of wrinkles or slackness.

Xiao Fan wrapped his arms around Ya Fei and slowly leaned closer, leaving a light kiss on her forehead.

"Ya Fei, I won't leave you behind."

The corners of Ya Fei's lips curled slightly in her sleep, as though she were having a wonderful dream.

The morning sunlight fell across the two people locked tightly in each other's embrace. Their hair was tousled, the blanket had somehow fallen to the floor, and one large figure and one small figure...

The two stared wide-eyed at each other. The expected scream never came. Instead, Ya Fei affectionately gave Xiao Fan a good-morning kiss.

"Mmm, fragrant."

Ya Fei adjusted her clothes, then looked at Xiao Fan with resentment in her eyes, as if asking, "Why are the clothes over my chest so messy?"

Xiao Fan's gaze darted away. He swore it had truly been unconscious.

If he did not grab onto something while sleeping, he could not sleep soundly.

"Cough cough, Ya Fei, good morning." Xiao Fan's forced composure fell into Ya Fei's eyes.

Ya Fei lowered her head slightly, then revealed a playful, devastating smile.

Xiao Fan curiously followed Ya Fei's gaze downward, then immediately rolled up the blanket from the floor and covered himself with it.

"Tch, what is there to hide about such a little thing?"

Ya Fei was right. At the moment, Xiao Fan could not even lift his head.

"Ahhh! This is intolerable!"

Amid their playful squabbling, Xiao Fan and Ya Fei left the room together.

"Xiao Fan!"

Today, Xiao Yu wore a blue dress whose hem reached the middle of her thighs, creating an absolute domain with her long, jade-like legs. Four ribbons extended from the round moon-white belt at her waist, each ending in a small golden bell.

The sword at her waist made her look especially dignified.

Xiao Yu had finally obtained this sword from her grandfather today. After carefully dressing up, she had lingered anxiously outside Xiao Fan's door for a long while before finally seeing him.

Great Elder: "Mm, I got it."

"Xiao Fan! Ya Fei? You... you two..."

Xiao Yu looked at the two of them in disbelief, all kinds of guesses rippling through the young girl's heart.

Could they have slept together last night?

No, no, that can't be it. There must be some misunderstanding.

With a bang, the sound of a system crash exploded in Xiao Yu's mind. She lost the ability to think and became completely dazed.

Seeing this, Ya Fei cast a resentful glance at Xiao Fan. She was far too familiar with this situation.

Xiao Fan: Why are you looking at me...

"You're Xiao Yu, right?" Ya Fei spoke first.

"Hm? Mm." Xiao Yu nodded blankly.

"There's nothing between Xiao Fan and me. He's the little brother I've taken in. I came to discuss something with him this morning, so don't overthink it, Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu's little face suddenly flushed red. "N-No, I wasn't overthinking..."

"Xiao Yu looks very cute today. Your sister won't disturb you two any longer."

Ya Fei left with her long legs striding away. Before departing, she shot Xiao Fan a fierce look.

"Adoptive sister... This term still feels kind of strange." Xiao Fan was still somewhat lost in thought.

Xiao Yu watched Ya Fei leave, then compared their figures. With faint disappointment in her voice, she asked Xiao Fan, "Does Xiao Fan like Ya Fei's kind of figure?"

"I do... Hm? Xiao Yu, what did you just ask?"

"Nothing!"

Xiao Yu suddenly drew the sword at her waist and pointed it at Xiao Fan. "Train with me!"

"Uh... alright."

Time slowly passed, and soon it was the day Jia Nan Academy came to recruit students.

Wutan City was now dominated by the Xiao Family alone. The entire square was protected by Xiao Family guards and also served as Jia Nan Academy's recruitment site.

The entire square was packed with people. If not for the City Lord's Mansion and the Xiao Family maintaining order, the square's order would likely have collapsed long ago.

A massive Griffin streaked across the sky, whipping up a fierce gale over the square. Those without firm footing were blown down by the wind.

With the strength of a three-star Dou Zhe, Xiao Fan faced the gale with ease.

Still, doubt filled his heart. Was Jia Nan Academy's recruitment really this grand?

One after another, people emerged from atop the Griffin. Xiao Fan knew they were Jia Nan Academy's recruitment teachers.

Xiao Fan was also somewhat excited. As long as he joined Jia Nan Academy, he would be a little closer to the little foodie.

But Xiao Fan's pupils soon widened, as though he had seen something unbelievable.

On top of the Griffin, Little Dragon Maiden lay lazily there, her short legs wrapped in white stockings swinging back and forth. Her purple twin ponytails swayed as she gnawed, bite after bite, on some unknown medicinal herb.

Compared to the other proud and unruly Griffins, the Griffin beneath the purple-haired Little Dragon Maiden was obviously crouching low. It hung its head in extreme fear, its eyes warily fixed on the purple-haired Little Dragon Maiden on its back.

Little Dragon Maiden patted the Griffin's head. "Little Gold, be good and wait for me to come back. Don't move around, okay?"

Little Dragon Maiden puffed out her cheeks playfully. Her delicate little face made people unable to resist wanting to dote on her, though the smile at the corners of her lips could not be concealed.
