Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What are you laughing at?”
“Seeing you makes me want to laugh,” Jiang Yanzhou’s voice was hoarser than usual due to alcohol. “Is that not allowed?”
Lu Yang was rendered speechless.
Lu Yang took the wine glass from his hand as if nothing had happened and placed it on the wooden table nearby. She asked, “Why are you indulging my brother?”
“He’s your brother. If I make him unhappy, you will also be unhappy. If you’re unhappy, it hurts me.”
Lu Yang paused, turned to the side, and looked at him awkwardly. Jiang Yanzhou had drunk quite a bit, and his gaze was somewhat unfocused, but he was still staring at her intently.
“Can I ask a question?” Lu Yang blinked, her black pupils covered with a thin mist. “What about your parents?”
Jiang Jinshi’s catchphrase was ‘Mommy said…’ , and she could tell that they had a good mother-son relationship. But today was Jiang Jinshi’s birthday and also the Mid-Autumn Festival, yet she didn’t see his parents anywhere.
She added, “My question goes beyond the boundaries, and you don’t have to answer.”
Jiang Yanzhou had an inherently aloof and distant attitude. He tugged at his lips and smiled, saying, “I rarely celebrated birthdays when I was young. Tonight’s birthday is specially arranged for you.”
Lu Yang instinctively asked, “Why?”
“I want to know more about you,” Jiang Yanzhou deliberately paused for a while. “And I want you to know more about me.”
The evening breeze carried a cold chill as it brushed against her neck, causing Lu Yang to shiver involuntarily. Her mind felt a bit muddled for a moment.
At that moment, even forming sentences became somewhat difficult. She fell silent for a moment and said, “I haven’t understood anything.”
Jiang Yanzhou stood up. He was tall, and his figure was elongated by the moonlight and the lamplight. He approached her and spoke in a deep and mellow voice, “You have.”
The clean scent of a man enveloped her as it wafted in the wind. Lu Yang’s breathing became slightly restrained. “What have I?”
“Lu Yang, you’re different.”
Now she understood. In his eyes, she was different from others, someone special.
A ripple appeared in Lu Yang’s calm gaze.
Jiang Yanzhou reached out and grabbed her wrist, placing her hand on the back of his own hand. “You’ve been looking at my hand five times tonight. If you want to touch it, go ahead. Don’t hold yourself back.”
Lu Yang was taken aback. She wanted to touch the hot-blooded spirit of the veins, but she was unknowingly overwhelmed by another inexplicable emotion. She stood there dumbfounded, blinking her eyelashes.
“No.” She refused.
Jiang Yanzhou looked at her with lowered eyes. “Don’t like it?”
While Lu Yang was trying to find the right words, he asked again, “Is it because of Jin Yao’s bone structure?”
It was just a casual remark she made last time.
Although Jin Yao had a perfect bone structure, which was indeed rare, she couldn’t let Jin Yao touch her. It would be too awkward and even more uncomfortable than touching veins.
It was simply awkward to the point of being like the Sahara Desert.
Jiang Yanzhou let out a sigh, “If you don’t like it, then let’s not touch it for now.”
“Hug me.”
As soon as the words fell, he pulled her into his embrace and naturally spoke, “The weather has been getting colder lately.”
The previous embrace was more like two bodies pressing against each other, but this time it was a genuine hug.
Perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, Jiang Yanzhou placed one hand on her waist and the other on her head, tightening his arm as if holding a precious treasure that might disappear if he wasn’t careful.
The scent of wood drifted over, and Lu Yang curiously sniffed it, finding that it smelled like pine wood after a snowfall.
She said, “It’s getting cold. You should wear more clothes. Relying on each other for warmth isn’t very reliable.” “Just a hug won’t hurt.”
“Your heart is beating so fast.”
It felt as if it wanted to jump out of his chest and into her own body.
“Is it fast?” Jiang Yanzhou smiled lightly, and it was evident that he was in a great mood. “I can’t control my heartbeat.”
“I know.” Lu Yang said, “Heart disease is something people can’t control. When you have time, go to the hospital and get checked out to see what’s going on.”
Jiang Yanzhou’s indulgent smile curved his lips as he chuckled softly, “It’s seeing you that makes my heart beat wildly.”
“It’s an instinctive reaction. I can’t control it.”
The thin lips of the man caressed Lu Yang’s black hair, and the warm breath that sprayed out made her ears tickle, sending a pleasant shiver down her spine.
“Liar, like me a little more.” Jiang Yanzhou was quite tall, and his shadow under the streetlight stretched long. He lowered his eyes, with long and dense eyelashes casting a shadow beneath them.
Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and his jawline was sharp and defined. When he looked up, his prominent Adam’s apple was visible.
His strong arm held her tightly. His breath was heavy and fell upon her face from above as he whispered, “Are you childhood friends with Jin Yao?”
A clean masculine scent enveloped her, causing Lu Yang to hold her breath slightly. He was too close, and his breath brushed against her cheek when he spoke, clearly visible.
“No,” she said.
He chuckled lightly, his voice filled with loneliness and a hint of bitterness.
“You’re kind to too many people. What position do I hold with you?” “You’re different,” she raised her head, her deep black eyes gazing at him. She repeated, “You’re different from them.”
With a touch of stubbornness, she added, “I’ve never heard you confess to me, but you’ve told him that you like him.”
The previous embrace was merely symbolic, a mere touch. This time it was a genuine embrace. There was a scent of wood, like the fragrance of pine after snowfall.
He held her in one arm and gently stroked the back of her head with the other, as if holding a precious treasure that might slip away if he wasn’t careful.
His lips caressed her hair, and the warm breath that sprayed out tickled her neck, making her whole body go weak.
“Liar,” she said.
I’m not,” he replied.
“Scoundrel.” . I’m not either.”
“Wife.”
Making a scene while intoxicated.
Kudzu flower and sour jujube soup can relieve drunkenness. Kudzu flower refers to the unopened flower bud of the kudzu plant, with a sweet and mild taste. Its main function is to alleviate the toxicity of alcohol, and invigorate the spleen and stomach. It is mainly used for excessive drinking, headache, dizziness, irritability, thirst, and vomiting. The usual dosage is 3-15 grams when combined with sour jujube.
The man stood tall in front of her, and his amber eyes overflowed with a smile.
“You know, I’m willing to let you freeload.”
Lu Yang lowered her head, signaling for him to let go.
Jiang Yanzhou released her wrist, but his fingertips unexpectedly moved downward, gently gripping her hand.
Lu Yang’s mind went blank, looking at him in surprise as her slender eyelashes flickered.
Before she could pull her hand away, he let go of it.
His strong arm held her tightly.. His breath was heavy as it fell upon her face from above, and he whispered, “Are you childhood friends with Jin Yao?”
