Chapter 43 Yun Yao's Drunkenness
Yun Yao returned to Shifang Mountain, not to hide in the mountains and sleep, but for the two-hundred-year-old Qingling Wine behind the bamboo house.
In her memory, every year on the fifteenth of October, she would open a jar of fine wine that had been sealed away for many years, and get drunk for three days straight. During these three days, she would let the sun and moon revolve, oblivious to the complexities of the outside world and untouched by worldly troubles.
She didn't know when it started, but on this day, her heart felt like it was being crushed, and her soul ached as if it would be scattered at any moment.
Having lost all his magical power, he no longer possessed extraordinary abilities. Like an ordinary person, he felt pain when injured, bled, and could die...
Even a god who has lived for thousands of years cannot endure this kind of pain, so she would use alcohol to relieve it. The excruciating pain would not seem so painful under the numbing effect of alcohol.
Yun Yao emerged from behind the bamboo house, carrying a jar of wine in her arms. After removing the seal, the intoxicating aroma of the wine spread, causing many small animals to stop what they were doing and gaze towards the top of Shifang Mountain.
Little Black sat alone on the mountaintop, its owner long gone...
Some people like wine because its aroma is intoxicating; others like wine because it can help them forget the past and erase all their suffering and pain.
Yun Yao is clearly the latter.
On the rugged and winding path of Shifang Mountain, a white figure swayed leisurely down the mountain, carrying a jar of wine in its hand.
……
"Master! Miss Yun is here!" Chen Dong rushed into the office in a panic.
Su Yuchen continued what he was doing, his voice cold: "Chen Dong, you've become increasingly unruly lately."
Chen Dong was somewhat helpless. "Master, did you even hear what I said?"
"Master, I said Miss Yun has arrived!" Chen Dong said again.
Su Yuchen turned the pages of the documents in his hand without even looking up.
"Throw her out." His voice was chilling.
Su Yuchen has discovered that as long as he doesn't get involved with Yun Yao, his emotions won't get out of control. He's been enjoying peace and quiet lately, and his body is also fine.
Therefore, Yun Yao plays a decisive role in whether he will do anything unusual.
For example, right now, he made the decision to throw Yun Yao out based on his first instinct, but he was very reluctant to do so, and even showed signs of losing control.
Su Yuchen slammed the documents in his hand onto the table and gripped the armrest of his chair tightly.
"Now, immediately, throw her out!" Su Yuchen was radiating uncontrollable rage.
Chen Dong looked at Su Yuchen with some difficulty, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master, Miss Yun is acting a bit strangely today, if..."
"Bang—" Before Chen Dong could finish speaking, the office door was kicked open.
The aroma precedes the arrival of the person.
A pungent smell of alcohol assaulted Su Yuchen's nostrils, and an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.
"My... my little darling, hiccup." Chen Dong stepped aside, and the drunken Yun Yao pounced on Su Yuchen.
Su Yuchen felt the warmth in his arms and smelled the scent on the tip of his nose, his brows twitching.
He tried to pull Yun Yao away, but found that he couldn't exert any force at all.
Su Yuchen's sharp eyes swept over Chen Dong, who was gloating.
"What are you standing there for? Get her out of here right now!" Su Yuchen roared.
"My little darling, you're so disobedient." As she spoke, Yun Yao rubbed against Su Yuchen's chest and hugged him even tighter.
"Chen Dong!" The veins on Su Yuchen's temples bulged.
Chen Dong glanced at Su Yuchen, who looked like a respectable man who had been bullied, and then at the fierce Yun Yao. After careful consideration, he made his decision.
"Master, I must have slept too late last night, I've gone blind." Chen Dong said, rolling his eyes as he groped his way out of the office.
Su Yuchen: "..." Not a single one of them is reliable!
It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.
"How much did you drink?" Su Yuchen leaned back and asked with obvious disgust.
"Not much, just one jar." Yun Yao buried her head on Su Yuchen's shoulder, smacking her lips as she spoke.
A jar? It can't be the kind of jar he's thinking of, can it?
Su Yuchen didn't know how he accepted this reality. Yun Yao was like glue to him, impossible to pry off. After a stalemate with her for more than half an hour, Su Yuchen finally gave in.
Apart from the occasional aroma of wine wafting through the air, he accepted everything else.
The final result was that Su Yuchen was working while holding Yun Yao.
……
After an unknown amount of time, he heard long, even breaths coming from beside him, and Su Yuchen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Finally, the hassle is over.
But he wasn't happy for even half a second.
I suddenly felt my neck getting wet.
Realizing something, Su Yuchen's brow twitched, and his movements became stiff.
"Yun, Yao!" He said the words almost through gritted teeth.
Ignoring the struggles of the person in his arms, Su Yuchen picked up Yun Yao and strode into the private lounge.
Taking advantage of Yun Yao's relaxed vigilance while she was asleep, Su Yuchen threw her into the bathtub, turned on the valve, and let the slightly cool water fall on her skin.
Yun Yao usually likes to wear loose, flowing, and seamless clothes, which float up when wet.
Su Yuchen's gaze fell on Yun Yao's face, and seeing that she was completely unaware of anything, he quickly went into the shower room.
The slightly warm water splashed on his body, but Su Yuchen felt unusually agitated. His heart was completely captivated by the woman soaking in the bathtub outside. His anxious gaze kept falling on her, as if he feared she might drown in the tub.
He was actually worried about that crazy woman outside?
He's the one who's crazy!
He slammed his fist on the bathroom wall, his eyes filled with annoyance.
That uncontrollable feeling again! What's wrong with him?!
Su Yuchen switched the valve to cold water and looked up, letting the icy water hit his face.
Unfortunately, even so, he couldn't suppress the worry in his heart.
What a hell!
Su Yuchen quickly put on his clothes, went outside, covered Yun Yao's head with a towel, and pulled her out of the water with what was hardly gentle movements.
Surprisingly, Yun Yao soaked in the bathtub for so long, yet her clothes remained completely dry.
Just as he was in a panic, Yun Yao seemed to sense something and wrapped her slender arms around Su Yuchen's neck.
Su Yuchen's movements faltered slightly, and ripples of emotion stirred within him.
Of course, he didn't think this feeling was his true emotion, but rather just his subconscious acting up.
Su Yuchen placed Yun Yao on the bed and, quite considerately, covered her with a blanket. He looked down at her with an unfriendly expression.
"Yun Yao, it's time to settle our scores." A dark glint flashed in Su Yuchen's eyes, and after saying this, he resolutely left.
Without Yun Yao's interference, Su Yuchen's work efficiency was incredibly high. He was so engrossed in his work that he had completely forgotten about Yun Yao in the break room.
He thought that a drunk person would be mostly sober up after a good night's sleep.
However, this was only what he thought...
