Liu Yilin was in an exceptionally good mood, likely due to resolving matters with the Violet family. She dragged Ning Beichen out for drinks, but she couldn't hold her liquor, getting tipsy after just two glasses of red wine.
Ning Beichen had to help her as she stumbled.
"Ning Beichen, I feel so happy right now…"
Liu Yilin suddenly sprang up like a flounder, pointing at the ground.
"Yes, yes, Boss, you are the happiest."
Ning Beichen knew better than to argue with a drunkard and went along with her.
"Mmm, I'm so happy today, it feels like all my worries are gone."
Liu Yilin broke free from Ning Beichen's grasp and declared loudly as she weaved along the road.
"Yes, Boss, you're very happy. Boss, there's a car coming, it's dangerous. Uh… can we move to the side of the road?"
Ning Beichen quickly grabbed her arm, dragging her onto the sidewalk.
"Don't grab me, I'm fine, I'm ha-happy, understand?"
Liu Yilin tried to break free from Ning Beichen's grip, but she had no strength. He pulled her to safety as if he were an eagle with a chick.
"I understand, Boss, shall I take you home?"
Ning Beichen asked, a headache brewing.
"No, I don't want to go back, I want to enjoy the free breeze here. I am a little bird, flying high, flying high…"
Liu Yilin refused, even starting to sing.
Ning Beichen mischievously pulled out his phone and started taking pictures of her, thinking to himself how embarrassed she would be if she saw herself when she sobered up, given her usual icy demeanor.
"Mmm, it's better to leave evidence."
Ning Beichen acted as an amateur photographer, no longer trying to stop her, letting her express herself.
In fact, Ning Beichen could understand her feelings. She had been under a lot of pressure lately, like a taut string. It was good for her to relax now.
"Ning Beichen, uh… why do you have two heads?"
Liu Yilin burped and then pointed at him, giggling.
"Alas! Fake wine harms people. Just two glasses of red wine have turned such an elegant woman into a fool."
Ning Chao shook his head, waved his phone at her, and made a gesture for a photo.
Soon, Liu Yilin kicked off her high heels, and Ning Beichen had to go pick them up. After several attempts, Ning Beichen gave up on her wearing them and carried the high heels in his hand, accompanying her as she let loose.
However, her uninhibited behavior attracted a few bothersome flies. After Ning Beichen swatted them away, no more flies dared to appear.
After her wild outburst, Liu Yilin sat down on the ground, refusing to walk any further. Ning Beichen had no choice but to carry her on his back, holding her high heels in his hands, and walking unsteadily down the road, not bothering to call a car.
"Ning Beichen, you… you're so nice, heh heh."
Liu Yilin said with a silly smile from on Ning Beichen's back, her words uncertain if they were genuine.
"My old man sent me, Yamaroya, back in the middle of the night to protect you. Do you think I could treat you badly? I wonder if it's me or the old man who's cursed!"
Ning Beichen said as he walked, knowing she probably wouldn't understand anything and would forget everything after waking up the next day.
"Old man, heh heh, you're not an old man, you're handsome, a great handsome guy. I know many girls in the company like you, heh heh heh…"
Liu Yilin said with a silly laugh on his back.
"Boss, you have excellent taste. I can't believe you found out about such a secret. I wonder who let the news slip."
"I admit I'm a handsome guy, so handsome it shakes the heavens and rocks the universe, loved by all, blooming flowers open at my sight. So please don't have any ideas about me. My future is destined to be a vast forest, not a crooked tree on an iceberg."
Ning Beichen played along with her, talking nonsense seriously.
"Heh heh heh, Ning Beichen, you're getting full of yourself. Who… who would like a shameless guy like you? Don't be conceited. Just don't fall for… don't fall for me."
Even in her drunken state, Liu Yilin still retorted to Ning Beichen.
"Who would fall for you? You're cold, like an iceberg, seemingly unattainable, giving people a sense of challenge, but anyone who climbs up would freeze to death!"
Ning Beichen slipped up for a moment and revealed his inner thoughts. Fortunately, Liu Yilin was drunk, otherwise, she would have been very angry.
"You're the iceberg, not me. I'm not cold at all, try me if you don't believe me."
At that moment, Liu Yilin suddenly used her hand to turn Ning Beichen's face towards her and, with her wine-scented lips, pressed them against him. A scorching heat instantly transferred to Ning Beichen, leaving him stunned and unsure how to react for a while.
"Heh heh heh… doesn't it feel hot?"
Liu Yilin released Ning Beichen's lips, saying with a giggle, looking rather smug.
"Boss, you scared me. Please don't drink carelessly in the future. Fortunately, you met me. If it were another man without my self-control, he certainly wouldn't let you off tonight."
After a long pause, Ning Beichen said to her softly, feeling a strange sensation.
He felt a familiar sensation when Liu Yilin kissed him, the same awkwardness, the same taste, but Ning Beichen couldn't recall it for a moment.
Moreover, he believed that nothing had ever happened between him and Liu Yilin, so he hadn't thought about that night.
"Boss, Boss…"
Hearing no response from Liu Yilin, Ning Beichen leaned down to check and found that the silly woman had fallen asleep on his back.
Ning Beichen shook his head with a chuckle, carried her back to get his car, and then drove her home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, he saw the little imp, Liu Yixin.
"Ning Beichen, what's wrong with my sister? Is she injured?"
Liu Yixin, seeing her sister being carried back by Ning Beichen, asked him anxiously.
"No, don't worry, your sister is not injured, she's just drunk."
Ning Beichen told the truth.
"My sister is drunk? Impossible, my sister never drinks. No matter how big the celebration, she'll just go through the motions, she won't really drink."
"Ning Beichen, did you get my sister drunk? Speak quickly, did you do anything bad to my sister? Did you take her to a hotel!"
Liu Yixin stared at Ning Beichen with a scrutinizing gaze and interrogated him.
