"Okay!" Meng Ruyi said with a blushing face, looking like a juicy peach. There was a hint of daze in her eyes.
The night was quiet, and the wind was a bit cold, making Song Huaizhi extremely sober. However, his heart was pounding so hard that it seemed about to jump out of his chest.
The servants following them had wisely stepped back. Lianqiao and the others even ran into the courtyard quietly, so quietly that Meng Ruyi didn't notice at all.
It was so strange. She always felt a bit dizzy.
In his peripheral vision, the young girl's face was fair, and she was looking at him with a smiling face. The moonlight cast a veil over her, making her so beautiful that Song Huaizhi's breath caught slightly.
Seeing that Song Huaizhi didn't move, Meng Ruyi felt strange. So she took a step forward, leaned in front of him, and said, "Alright, alright. Does Brother Song still have anything to say?"
Too close.
It seemed that the distance between them was less than a finger. The warm breath that Meng Ruyi exhaled hit him, carrying a faint smell of alcohol.
Song Huaizhi subconsciously took a step back to create some distance. Only then did he realize that Meng Ruyi was looking at him with a hazy look in her eyes, and her tone was slow, with a hint of coquettishness.
So she was drunk.
Remembering that on the way back, Meng Ruyi had smiled at him from time to time, walked slowly, and talked a lot, Song Huaizhi rubbed the space between his eyebrows. A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"I didn't know when you drank."
Meng Ruyi slightly widened her eyes and looked at Song Huaizhi gently. Hearing this, she frowned, rubbed her face with her right hand, and said, "Drank? Of course I did. And how could I let you know?"
"I drank today! It was delicious. It was the peach blossom wine that Yunyun specially saved for me. It was sweet and didn't make people drunk at all."
Didn't make people drunk at all?
Song Huaizhi couldn't help but smile. He quietly watched as Meng Ruyi frowned again.
She was so cute, like a little fox that had stolen some wine. Although she was clearly drunk and looked dizzy, she still insisted that she was sober.
Song Huaizhi rarely had a bit of a mischievous streak. He enjoyed this rare side of Meng Ruyi. Seeing her looking at him intently, he raised his eyebrows and said, "So you secretly drank without letting me know. Why?"
"Why?"
Meng Ruyi frowned even deeper. After thinking for a while, she looked up at Song Huaizhi and said, "I don't know. Anyway, that wine was really delicious and didn't make people drunk."
"Next year!"
Suddenly, Meng Ruyi's eyes lit up. She took another step forward, leaned in front of Song Huaizhi, and even slightly tiptoed. She whispered in his ear, "Next year, we'll also brew some peach blossom wine!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Ruyi felt her left foot trip over her right foot, and she fell to the side.
Song Huaizhi was really startled by this drunkard. Subconsciously, he caught her in his arms.
The wind seemed to stop for a moment, and even the moonlight seemed more hazy.
Meng Ruyi was confused, but instinctively leaned closer to Song Huaizhi's arms. Then, seeing his eyes widen slightly, she smiled mischievously.
The next moment, her lips covered his warmly. Meng Ruyi even wrapped her hands around Song Huaizhi's neck instinctively, clinging to him like a dodder.
She felt that the person in front of her seemed to turn into a wooden block, letting her do as she pleased, and even his breathing seemed to stop.
There was only her reflection in his deep black pupils.
"Yuyu," Song Huaizhi said in a low voice, "What should I do with you?"
Meng Ruyi didn't care. She directly pulled back Song Huaizhi, who was trying to pull away, with a bit of a domineering attitude.
[Ah! They kissed! They kissed! Help! I'm so excited! I'm going to run around the neighborhood right now!]
[I almost missed it tonight! I told you, our Yuyu is really reliable. She just went for it!]
[Sizzle! They kissed now! Will they get married tomorrow? (Excited)]
[I never thought that Song Huaizhi, who looks like a cold and aloof boss, would be pushed down by Yuyu. It's even more interesting!]
The comments on the live - stream scrolled by quickly, but Meng Ruyi didn't pay attention anymore. She just stared at him.
"Alright," Meng Ruyi said with a smile. She patted the stunned Song Huaizhi and whispered, "Brother Song, go back quickly too."
Meng Ruyi turned around and ran into the courtyard briskly.
...
When Meng Ruyi woke up, she suddenly remembered what she had done last night. Instantly, she felt a chill run through her body, and her heart skipped a beat.
Oh my god! What had she done last night!
Meng Ruyi couldn't believe that she had forcefully kissed Song Huaizhi last night. After that, she had even playfully patted his shoulder and left a greeting, just like a skilled playboy who had molested a good - hearted woman and then ran away.
Meng Ruyi looked at her right hand, which had patted Song Huaizhi's shoulder last night, and fell into silence.
It was over.
She covered her face. She had no idea how she could face Song Huaizhi. What was worse, the two of them had already made an appointment to go and check out the shop and have a final conversation today.
With the thought of getting it over with quickly, Meng Ruyi waited for Lianqiao to finish combing her hair. She took a deep breath and walked towards the courtyard.
"Miss?"
Meng Ruyi was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around and saw Jingzhe standing beside her, holding a sword in his hand. He said, "My injury has almost healed. From today on, I'll follow you, Miss."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Meng Ruyi always felt that having one more person around her could somehow reduce the guilt from yesterday. So she nodded without hesitation and walked towards Song Huaizhi's courtyard.
It was so bad. They had agreed to have breakfast together in Song Huaizhi's small courtyard today.
Meng Ruyi's steps felt as if they were filled with lead as she dragged herself there step by step.
The comments on the live - stream were gloating, which made Meng Ruyi grind her teeth.
[Shy Yuyu is so cute. I'm dying of laughter. Why is today so much fun!]
[I'm so anxious. Walk faster. I want to see how Meng Ruyi will face Song Huaizhi. It's so exciting!]
[It's been a long time since I've seen such a dramatic thing. So exciting!]
[After Yuyu left last night, Song Huaizhi stood there for a long time.]
Stood there for a long time?
When Meng Ruyi saw this comment, she couldn't help but be lost in thought.
So what was Song Huaizhi's mood last night?
In the blink of an eye, she was at the door of the small courtyard. Meng Ruyi saw that the door was ajar. She reached out her hand to push it open but then retracted it. She did this several times but still couldn't make up her mind.
Jingzhe, who didn't know what had happened, looked confused. Lianqiao, who had witnessed her young lady's "feat", covered her mouth and laughed softly.
Just as Meng Ruyi finally put her hand on the door, the door suddenly opened.
Song Huaizhi was standing in front of the door in a green robe, with a gentle smile on his face. When he saw her, he said nothing but touched his lips.
Meng Ruyi: "......???! "
Help! What on earth was Brother Song thinking!
