Chapter 72: First Kiss

Deep blue eyes and cyan eyes looked at each other.

"Hmm?" Ye Qiu's eyes were almost impossible to open; his eyelids seemed to be in a wrestling match. The previously blurry figure became clearer.

Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and her earlobes gradually turned red. Her voice softened.

"Do you think I'm beautiful?"

As soon as she asked, she felt her face burning. Why did she ask such a question?

"Ah!" Suddenly, she let out a cry.

It turned out Ye Qiu had embraced her.

"Very beautiful," came Ye Qiu's dreamy murmur in her ear.

Ning Rongrong felt her heart beating fast, a wave of joy rising within her. She pressed her flushed face against his chest.

Sniffing the scent emanating from Ye Qiu, perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, or maybe she had these thoughts earlier.

Tilting her head, she looked at the somewhat unconscious Ye Qiu, her rosebud lips slightly pursed, moving forward.

The warm breath brushed against her face, scorching her cheeks.

The green eyes were stirred by this scalding heat, a thin mist rising, creating ripples, crystal clear.

Their lips gently touched.

Ning Rongrong shivered, feeling an electrifying sensation that left her tingling and intoxicated.

"Xiao Wu."

However, Ye Qiu's murmur poured cold water on her.

Like being hit by sleet in a warm rainforest, her body stiffened, her mind cleared, and the mist in her eyes dissipated, and the clear water vanished.

From charming to angry and embarrassed, she immediately left Ye Qiu's embrace.

"This guy actually mistook me for someone else!" Ning Rongrong, infuriated, grabbed his collar. What had she done just now?

"Speak! Who is Xiao Wu?!" After shaking him vigorously and seeing he remained silent, she realized he had already fallen asleep.

"You jerk, Ye Qiu!" Ning Rongrong glared at him fiercely, her eyes ready to spew fire.

Bang! Bang! She hammered him twice, feeling a surge of anger.

"This was my first kiss!"

Just as she was about to take the next step, planning to wake him up for an explanation, a crisp, somewhat drowsy voice sounded.

"Rongrong sister, what are you doing?"

"Ah! Xiao lan?" Acting like a thief, Ning Rongrong suddenly became flustered. Looking around, she noticed that Xiao lan on the bed had already awakened.

Rubbing her head, Xiao lan, still a bit drowsy, walked unsteadily. Stumbling to Ye Qiu, she pushed him, but he showed no response. She looked at Ning Rongrong strangely.

"Rongrong sister, what are you doing to brother?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing!" Hurriedly releasing Ye Qiu, Ning Rongrong took a few steps back.

Ye Qiu lay on the table like a lump of mud.

Xiao lan, still a bit confused, walked to Ye Qiu, pushing him. With no response, she curiously looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong sister, what were you doing? Brother drank with me, and he got drunk!" Gently patting Ye Qiu's head, as if she were the older one.

"Hehe." Ning Rongrong chuckled awkwardly, her expression somewhat guilty. She approached Xiao lan and asked tentatively.

" Xiao lan, did you see anything just now?"

"Ah? Rongrong sister also knows?" A somewhat puzzled Xiao lan nodded after thinking for a moment. "Yes!"

"What! You saw it!" Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly rose, her face turning an ugly shade, as if she had been frightened.

"Yeah! I just woke up and saw you hitting brother."

"Phew!" Hearing Xiao lan 's words, Ning Rongrong heaved a sigh of relief, patting her yet-to-develop chest. "That's good, that's good!"

"Did anything else happen just now?"

"Of course not! We just had a bit to drink! Yeah, that's all!" With hands on her hips, Ning Rongrong approached Xiao lan, looking at her seriously.

Xiao lan, still dazed from just waking up, nodded blankly.

" Xiao lan, do you know who Xiao Wu is when Ye Qiu mentioned it?" Ning Rongrong's face seemed somewhat unnatural, curious about the Xiao Wu Ye Qiu spoke of.

"Ah? Does Rongrong sister know too? But I haven't seen that sister; I've only seen Sister Zhu Qing!"

"Sister Zhu Qing? There's another one!?" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in shock, glaring at Ye Qiu with gritted teeth.

"This jerk!"

"My first kiss was given away just like this!?"

"Rongrong sister, are you okay?"

"I'm fine! Hmph!" Glaring coldly at Ye Qiu, she spat lightly and wiped her lips with her hand, leaving angrily.

Xiao lan stood still, somewhat bewildered. "Why did she leave like that?"

"she didn't even help Xiao lan with lifting Brother! Hmph~" Facing the direction she left, Ning Rongrong made a funny face.

Looking at Ye Qiu, who was lying unconscious on the table.

"Brother is really not easy to worry about! Haha."

Imitating Ye Qiu's tone, acting calm and composed, she patted his shoulder and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After much effort, she managed to move Ye Qiu onto the bed, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and suddenly felt a bit thirsty.

Her eyes scanned the room, and as they landed on the table, she spotted a bright red can.

Thinking about the delicious wine she had earlier, her mouth watered, and she couldn't help but lick her lips.

Glancing at the collapsed Ye Qiu, she finally felt at ease, trotted over, grabbed the can, and took a sniff.

"Hehe, it smells so good!"

"Gulugulu~ Ah, hiccup!"

She drank it all in one go!

"So delicious~ Oops."

A wave of heat surged, and her limbs felt a bit weak.

Clatter!

The bottle fell to the ground. Xiao lan 's face suddenly ignited with 'fire,' spreading from her head to her ears and neck.

"So strange! Why is the room spinning?"

Walking around, turning in circles, unable to find her direction.

She wrinkled her nose, discerned Ye Qiu's scent amidst the alcohol, and finally managed to sit on the bed.

"Oops~" Letting out a long hiccup, she rolled her eyes, closed them, and fell asleep on Ye Qiu!

The room was peaceful, a mess on the floor;

The moon slowly disappeared, the sunrise gradually ascended;

The setting sun illuminated the dusk, dawn welcomed the morning light;

Xiao lan had already awakened, but Ye Qiu was still deep in sleep.

Early morning.

Xiao lan was using her own hair to tease the dozing Ye Qiu, a soft smile on her face.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu's eyelashes flickered, and his deep blue eyes slowly opened.

"Yay! Brother, you finally woke up!"

"Cough, cough!"

Just as he woke up, a heavy weight pressed on him, making it difficult for Ye Qiu to breathe. He coughed.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"You step aside first, let me catch my breath."

"Oh~" Xiao lan obediently moved away, going to the table to fiddle with something.

"Phew~" Sitting up, Ye Qiu rubbed his heavy head, his throat a bit dry. His memory seemed a bit fragmented.

He vaguely remembered being force-fed juice by Ning Rongrong, and then his consciousness became blurry.

'What happened afterward?' Slapping his own face, a resentful expression appeared.

"That girl Ning Rongrong actually fooled me!"

"Hehe, brother, drink some water~" Xiao lan covered her mouth and chuckled, handing a cup of water to Ye Qiu.

Taking the cup, he took a gulp. Watching Xiao lan 's playful smile made him furious.

"You're still laughing! From now on, you're not allowed to drink!"

"Hmph! Whether I can or not, I don't need your permission. My drinking capacity and alcohol tolerance is much better than yours~"

"You!" Ye Qiu was frustrated.

Having fallen after just one drink, he felt embarrassed. He was too weak; even his momentum had weakened.

"Cough, cough. By the way, how long have I been sleeping?"

Looking at the brilliance outside, he thought he had probably spent just one night.

"What! You're saying I slept for a day and two nights!?"

Hearing Xiao lan 's answer, Ye Qiu's face twitched.

What kind of nonsense bullshit fruit juice did Ning Rongrong give him? It made him sleep for a day and two nights! Clearly, It's obviously wine, not just any ordinary hard liquor! Otherwise, his tolerance wouldn't be this bad.

Xiao lan playfully patted Ye Qiu's head. "Right! Brother slept like a pig for a long time!"

Snap! Pushing away her hand, he rolled his eyes. Xiao lan seemed to be getting more and more dishonest, not respecting the age difference.

"Hehe."
