Chapter 7 Let Me Cherish You 4
The "Nirvana" team's long-awaited welcome party ended unexpectedly in such a ridiculous way - the protagonist Ye Xiaoling was not good at drinking and fell drunk on the table after drinking only three glasses of beer, unconscious.
Other irrelevant personnel left reluctantly after saying hello. After all, they all liked Ye Xiaoling’s simple and straightforward character very much. However, thinking that there would be many opportunities for contact in the future, they decided to treat this as an imperfect but very pleasant start!
Gu Nan also looked at Ye Xiaoling, who was still sleeping soundly on the table and occasionally babbling nonsense, with some concern. He whispered to Yuan Ye, "What should we do? Will you send her back? The rest of the things here have not been dealt with yet."
Yuan Ye smiled helplessly: "Okay, leave it to me. I'll take her away when she's sober." As he spoke, he looked out the window, "This place is very close to Huayuan Pavilion. I'll walk her back and then go to the pharmacy to buy some sobering medicine."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Gu Nan sighed softly, and suddenly moved closer to Yuan Ye, saying slyly, "Don't think I forgot that you two walked in holding hands!"
After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that Yuan Ye would suddenly attack him, so he jumped far away like a monkey, waved his hands and immediately fled the crime scene.
Yuan Ye sneered and had no intention of arguing with him. He propped up his chin with one hand and began to focus all his attention on Ye Xiaoling.
Hmm... she's still very well behaved when she's asleep...
For some reason, various scenes from the time when the two of them met suddenly appeared in his mind. First, Ye Xiaoling single-handedly eliminated those angry young people who were causing chaos in the mall, then in that narrow alley, he was beaten to a pulp by being treated as a pervert, and then there was the confident and flamboyant gaming master who sat in front of the computer not long ago...
If we continue to get along, she will definitely give me more surprises, right?
Looking at her rose-red, plump cheeks and her slightly rapid breathing, Yuan Ye thought for a moment and gently reached out his hand to feel the temperature of her forehead. But before he touched her forehead, he saw her suddenly open her eyes and stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
Yuan Ye was startled by her sudden action, but soon calmed down and asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you remember what happened?"
Ye Xiaoling did not answer, but just blinked a few times woodenly, her eyelashes fluttering.
It seems that he is still not awake...
Yuan Ye couldn't help but chuckle a few more times, and turned around to pour her a cup of green tea to quench her thirst, but suddenly he heard the sound of a chair rubbing against the ground, followed by Ye Xiaoling's vague but firm command: "I want to go home!"
This voice clearly shows that the person is still drunk!
He shouldn't have continued to argue with a drunk person. He just did whatever the other person said. Besides, his original purpose was to send Ye Xiaoling home safely, right?
So Yuan Ye immediately agreed in a soothing tone: "Okay, let's go home now."
Ye Xiaoling, with a very red face, continued to stand at the table arrogantly and shouted: "No... these shoes!"
"Which pair?" He was confused again.
Ye Xiaoling just snorted and laughed, with a look of disgust in her eyes that was totally inconsistent with her. Then she bent down unsteadily, roughly untied the laces of the pair of exquisite black high-heeled shoes on her feet, and threw them far away without mercy!
"Why... is there something so uncomfortable to wear in the world? Huh?" She stepped on the cold ground with her bare feet like a headless fly, "But, but it looks really beautiful!"
"Don't wear it if you're uncomfortable. But you'll catch a cold if you step on the ground like this." Yuan Ye suppressed his smile and walked forward to carefully support Ye Xiaoling who was still walking crookedly. Finally, he couldn't help but sighed, "Why are you still like a boy? At least pay attention to your body, right?"
Is she really so naive as to think that as long as she has strong fighting power, she won't need anyone's protection?
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoling's arms, which were twisting around, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Her bright and slightly misty eyes gradually widened, and her petal-like lips curled up slightly - this was not a smile, but rather a hint of grievance.
"Like a boy..." She first repeated Yuan Ye's words in a low voice, then frowned, reached out and quickly grabbed his wrist, her voice filled with tears, "Do you think I really want to be like a boy?"
Feeling the sudden force on his wrist, Yuan Ye couldn't help but stand there in shock. At the same time, the fragile light in her eyes pierced his chest and caused pain.
"I, what else can I do?" Her fingers gradually tightened, and her words became unclear. "Because my mother left a long time ago, my father was so sad... He even ignored his most beloved Huayuan Pavilion... I can't watch Huayuan Pavilion be destroyed like this!"
"Xiao Ling..." Yuan Ye's eyes were full of pity.
"I like Taekwondo, just like my parents. So I'm happy no matter how much hardship I have to endure! But... I also want to be an ordinary girl! When my classmates and friends call me a violent person, I feel uncomfortable too! I really, really hate this ugly name, I hate it so much!" Her angry voice echoed in the silent room, and the drunken blush on her face seemed to become more and more intense. There was no trace of the dull and wooden girl she usually was.
Yuan Ye looked at her quietly, remembering how she was busy in the gym on weekdays, and how she never retreated in the face of danger and even stood up to protect others.
In fact, in her heart, she also longed for someone to stand by her side at all times to give her strength, even if it was only a tiny bit...
The look of pity in his eyes grew deeper and deeper, and then a gleam of determination flashed across it.
If possible, let him play such a role.
