After a while, Jiang Nuo quieted down and sat there, propping her face up in a daze.
" Nuonuo?"
Si Yan didn't stop Jiang Nuo from drinking earlier, after all, they had drunk together on their date before, and Jiang Nuo wasn't someone who couldn't hold her liquor.
But it was only then that they realized something was wrong.
He sat up straight, pulled her into his arms, and realized that Jiang Nuo was already incredibly well-behaved, blinking quietly.
He was drunk.
Si Yan picked up the glass in surprise, smelled it, and asked Su Yi, "Did you pour him this wine?"
Su Yi exclaimed, "No, he got it himself and gave me half a glass. This wine smells really strong; I thought he could drink a lot."
Si Yan: "..."
It's definitely strong enough to drink, so this liquor is no ordinary strong liquor.
Moreover... Jiang Nuo experiences the same symptoms as when he wakes up after being interrupted from sleep when he drinks too much.
" Si Yan!"
Jiang Nuo suddenly called out, her eyes misty, "It's getting dark, time to sleep."
Fearing the Wa Country men opposite would notice something was wrong, Si Yan picked the person up and carried them to sleep.
"Um..."
Jiang Nuo stayed obediently in his arms, but still felt that something was wrong. Her bright eyes scanned the other people in the restaurant.
Finally, he met Yue Qian's gaze.
"... Eh."
Jiang Nuo suddenly patted Si Yan on the shoulder, "Wait a minute."
Si Yan didn't dare to stop walking and continued walking out as if she hadn't heard anything.
Jiang Nuo shifted her body. " Si Yan, stop!"
Helpless, they could only stop and hope that Jiang Nuo would simply refrain from saying anything earth-shattering or disturbing.
Jiang Nuo clung to Si Yan's neck for balance, tilted her head to look at Yue Qian, Yue Qian of doubt, and suddenly exclaimed.
"What are you doing here?! Is this a four-star instance?!"
Yue Qian tensed up and looked over in shock.
Why... why could Jiang Nuo so easily reveal information about that world?
And every time he spoke, no one could hear him.
Yue Qian tried to respond, knowing Jiang Nuo was drunk and might be confusing reality with the dungeon, "What do you think? I won't participate in dungeons below four stars."
What are these two saying?
[What instance? Are they online friends who arranged to play games together?]
I don't know! But God Nuo is so cute when he's drunk!! I want to pet him!
"Then you still dare to play in the same instance as me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Jiang Nuo chuckled, her eyes seemingly harmless yet concealing a sharp edge. "Your older brother and younger brother were both killed by me. You were the only one left of the triplets. Don't you hate me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the restaurant looked over in surprise.
Sano Kurotsuki was shocked, but then suddenly realized why the Hua Country had suddenly found Mr. Jiang said he had to kill Jiang Nuo; it turned out there was such a deep hatred behind it.
This Jiang Nuo... is ruthless.
Splash!
The iron plates in front of Yue Qian were all swept away.
He was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot. He stood up, leaning on the table, and stared intently at Jiang Nuo, never expecting that this person would dare to speak.
Even with a different appearance, he would still be recognized. Yue Qian suddenly felt that he shouldn't have participated in any variety shows; it would have been easier to just kill someone outside.
You remember me!
Yue Qian practically roared, tearing away the calm facade he had maintained for so long.
Jiang Nuo tilted her head, as if startled, and snuggled into Si Yan's arms, "How scary!"
His tone was soft, as if he had been frightened.
Si Yan felt a pang of tenderness in her heart. Even though she knew Jiang Nuo was faking it, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him and kissed the corner of his lips.
Jiang Nuo chuckled again, made a peace sign, and peered through her fingers at the furious Yue Qian.
"But you can't kill me, aren't you angry?"
After saying that, he shifted his body and said, " Si Yan, let's run!"
Si Yan walked upstairs without turning her head.
Yue Qian tried to make a move, but was held down by Mikazuki Hexi, and Sano Kurotsuki, Sano Kurotsuki whispered a warning in his ear.
"Don't forget the master's plan!"
Yue Qian was dragged away by Sano Kurotsuki, Mikazuki Hexi followed along groping their way.
Su Yi and Qi Lin exchanged a glance, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
"I didn't understand, let's go to sleep."
"I agree." Qi Lin nodded.
--
It was already late at night when I got back to my room.
Jiang Nuo yawned slowly and nuzzled Si Yan's neck. "Put me down."
Si Yan: "No, you'll run outside. Be good, Nuonuo."
Jiang Nuo chuckled, then pinched Si Yan's face with both hands and gently pulled it outwards.
I'm not drunk.
Si Yan: "Huh?"
He put the person down with a puzzled look, cupped Jiang Nuo's face, and examined her eyes. Indeed, there was no change.
"Was Nuonuo being drunk to impress Yue Qian?"
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Nuo removed the nail from the crack in the door; it was the same one she had found before.
"He's been eyeing me for a while now."
She then snuggled into Si Yan's arms, yawning sleepily, her voice languid, "I guessed he was from that world, but I just couldn't remember."
"He is... a very bad person."
Jiang Nuo said this.
In fact, Jiang Nuo had already decided to kill him.
Yue Qian's older brother was the captain who caused him to lose his eye.
The stronger Jiang Nuo's murderous intent, the more insane he became, yet he appeared calmer on the surface.
Si Yan: "Why bring it up tonight?"
"To keep him awake." Jiang Nuo leaned back, a sly smile on her face.
"Tonight's lucky ones are those who can't sleep."
" Nuonuo is so smart."
Si Yan leaned in and gave him a light kiss, the atmosphere becoming tender and intimate.
Jiang Nuo squinted her eyes slightly in enjoyment, suppressing the memories that had been stirred up, and responded to the kiss, which carried a hint of soothing.
Si Yan knew, Si Yan didn't say anything; she simply offered words of comfort.
Jiang Nuo knew that too.
Jiang Nuo liked this sense of proportion.
I'm really growing to like Si Yan more and more!
Perhaps still slightly tipsy, Jiang Nuo's face was flushed, she was breathing softly, and her earlobes were burning from Si Yan's rubbing.
"Go to sleep."
He whispered, licking the dampness from the corner of his lips.
"Good."
Si Yan responded in a low, restrained voice.
After a quick wash, the two fell asleep in each other's arms, holding each other especially tightly tonight.
As Jiang Nuo was drifting off to sleep, she noticed a light entering the room.
He lifted his eyelids and glanced outside the blanket, his gaze drawn to the view through the French windows.
"Oh... what a big moon."
As the moonlight streamed in, the darkness gradually receded, casting shadows of the furniture inside the room, like the first light of dawn.
Si Yan was already asleep, so Jiang Nuo didn't wake him. She sat up halfway and observed the moon.
Huge! Jiang Nuo had never seen anything so big.
It's like it's pressing down on the town, about to fall off at any moment, obscuring the whole thing.
Not long after observing, Jiang Nuo heard unusual footsteps outside the room.
He shrank back under the covers and listened quietly.
The footsteps grew closer, then stopped.
A knock sounded on the door, one after another, slowly and deliberately.
But it didn't sound like being struck by hand; it sounded like being struck with the tip of some kind of pestle.
Si Yan stirred slightly, disturbed by the noise.
Jiang Nuo covered Si Yan's ears, shrank into her arms, closed her eyes, and remained perfectly awake.
This door can't keep out what's outside.
The criteria for determining whether someone is asleep are certainly not as simple as just opening the door.
