Chapter 75: Warrior!
Ye Zhibai gently placed the wine glass back on the table, suddenly feeling a bit dazed.
“Huh? Why are you all suddenly looking at me like that? Drink… drink up!”
Something was off. Ye Zhibai slowly realized that her sudden dizziness wasn’t just because Zhiyun was staring at her. It was literal confusion in her head—she felt dizzy and wobbly. Feeling unsteady, she leaned on the table to maintain her balance.
“Zhiyun, something’s wrong.”
“Sister, how do you feel? Why did you drink it all in one go? That was red wine!”
“Never mind the type of wine, listen to me. Something’s wrong.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I think… I might act foolishly…”
“Foolishly? Sister, do you mean…”
“Foolishly as in… getting drunk… I feel… like I’m going to pass out…”
Her voice grew softer. After wobbling for a while, Ye Zhibai’s head suddenly fell toward the table!
“Zhibai!” “Sister, be careful!”
Ye Qinghe wanted to react but was too far away. Luckily, you could always count on Ye Zhiyun! Swiftly, she protected Ye Zhibai’s head with her hand, preventing her from hitting the plates on the table.
Guang Yu genuinely admired Ye Zhibai. On the journey of trying new things like this new type of chili oil, she had really made her mark.
Ye Zhiyun, worried, held Ye Zhibai up and helped her sit straight again. What she saw was her sister’s new look—expressionless but with a flushed face from the alcohol.
“Sister, you’re so cute!” But now wasn’t the time to think about that. Her sister was clearly drunk from just one glass of red wine!
Ye Zhiyun didn’t need to think about the next step. She quickly instructed her frantic father.
“Dad, arrange a car to take us home. I need to take sister back.”
“I… I understand!”
Ye Qinghe hurriedly called for the maid to prepare a car at the door. He was more worried about Zhibai’s condition than anything else. Looking at the swaying Ye Zhibai in Zhiyun’s arms, he asked cautiously.
“Zhibai, can you hear me?”
“Yes…”
“Ah, good! As long as you can respond! How do you feel now? Is your head spinning? One glass of red wine shouldn’t be too bad, right?”
In her daze, Ye Zhibai seemed to understand what Qinghe was asking. But her response was incoherent, yet oddly fitting.
“Big swing… roller coaster… wind, fire, thunder, meteor… everywhere… all over…”
“Zhibai!! I’ll have the maids prepare some sobering medicine right away!”
Qinghe made a mental note: never let Zhibai touch alcohol again; she really couldn’t handle it. After instructing the maids, as a father, he wanted to take Zhibai to the car himself. But before he could say anything, the hero had already stepped up. Or rather, she had been ready to step up.
Zhiyun bit her lip, whispered “Don’t worry, sister,” and lifted Ye Zhibai into a steady princess carry.
It was the first time Qinghe saw his younger daughter exhibit such strength motivated by love. It was unbelievable!
He raised an eyebrow: “Zhiyun… can you manage? It’s still a way to the door. Should I call the maids?”
“Dad, stop dithering. Is the car ready? Sister, hold on. I’ll take you home to rest in bed. It’ll feel much better.”
“Uh… big swing.”
“Yes, big swing. We’ll see it in our dreams.”
So gentle!
The following scene would be deeply etched in the memories of Ye Qinghe and the maids for a long time. It was a beautiful sight. The second young lady steadily carrying the drunk eldest sister, despite her trembling arms, determined to bring her to the car, was a testament to their deep sisterly bond!
Perhaps they should have helped, but seeing such a touching moment, no one could interrupt. After all, the second young lady’s gaze was sharp enough to kill! Her cold stare warned everyone to keep their distance from the eldest sister.
So terrifying, yet so moving!
Everyone felt helpless, and all they could do was silently cheer her on in their hearts.
Second Miss, you can do it!.
Little did they know, the truly shocking scene was undisturbed by anyone.
But there was an immortal disturbance!
Guang Yu had been poking Ye Zhibai’s flushed face all the way, singing her praises.
“Ye Zhibai, we really have a newfound respect for you today! We think you are truly a brave warrior! Look, your face is all red… Hang in there, we’ll give you some mustard when we get home to counter the heat. It really works, trust us.”
Ye Zhibai was utterly despairing.
The mustard stash at home had finally dwindled to almost nothing.
But in her dizzy state, Ye Zhibai clearly saw Guang Yu clutching a brand-new, large pack of mustard that had been sneaked back from the banquet hall!
“Guang Yu, you rascal! Why must you do this?”
She wanted to hit the fox but lacked the strength.
She wanted to recover some energy to snatch the mustard back but couldn’t wait any longer.
Ye Zhibai only felt herself being gently laid down in the back seat of the car by Yun’er.
As her head rested on something soft, elastic, and fragrant with the scent of sunflowers, her consciousness faded.
The banquet was truly delightful.
If only she could have packed the last roast duck leg.
“Ye Zhibai, I already ate that roast duck leg for you, so don’t worry!”
“……”
Thank you, Guang Yu, for letting me pass out with peace of mind.
The gods are indeed kind.
Ye Qinghe only felt relieved after seeing his two daughters home safely. He took a long breath and returned to his own affairs.
From tomorrow onwards, the Ye family banquet hall and related venues will no longer serve red wine!
Ye Qinghe was quite vengeful, and red wine was now the enemy! Others lifted dumbbells to exercise their bodies.
Ye Zhiyun thought she could try lifting her sister.
She seemed to have held her sister like this twice in recent days!
Her sister was light, but honestly, it was a bit strenuous. Without proper exercise, it wouldn’t work out!
Without anyone’s help.
After the car arrived at the mansion, Ye Zhiyun carried Ye Zhibai alone back to their two-story small building.
She carried Ye Zhibai all the way to her bed in her room, sweating profusely but filled with joy!
Her sister’s scent… her whole body was covered in her sister’s scent. What should she do if she didn’t want to bathe tonight?
Although Ye Zhiyun was happy, she still had the moral principles of a younger sister.
She looked at Ye Zhibai, lying on the bed with her face still flushed, seeming to sleep soundly.
If her sister didn’t wake up today… she wouldn’t drink the hangover medicine.
But hangover medicine is for relieving the discomfort after waking up drunk. Since her sister was already asleep, there was no need to wake her up to drink the medicine.
Ye Zhiyun pushed the sweaty hair stuck to her cheek back.
She let out a warm sigh.
“Sis, although you don’t need to take medicine, you must change your clothes, or you’ll catch a cold. I… I have no other intentions, I just want to change your pajamas, right?”
Shameless Yun’er, asking her sister’s opinion when she was drunk and wouldn’t respond!
Ye Zhiyun took this silence as consent!
“Thank you, sis! Then I won’t be polite…! Ahem, then I’ll get started!”
Guang Yu, now a cat curled up in the corner, felt the true beauty of human nature.
Look at Ye Zhiyun, so generous and selfless in taking care of her sister while she sleeps.
Ye Zhiyun first took out Ye Zhibai’s nightdress from the wardrobe, then extended her little thief hands… ah, no! Her caring hands, towards the light pink shirt on Ye Zhibai, identical to the one she herself was wearing.
This shirt, being simple in design, naturally had another advantage.
It was easy to take off.
With a bit of uncontrollable joy, Ye Zhiyun’s hands moved nimbly, grabbing both sides of the shirt’s hem and slowly lifting it.
Gently… don’t wake her up, or she’ll feel miserable when she wakes up drunk.
You would never know how much joy it brought Yun’er to see Ye Zhibai’s fair belly appear in front of her.
Ye Zhiyun’s breathing became noticeably erratic, not just from the effort of carrying her sister.
She lifted the shirt up to Ye Zhibai’s collarbone, but her silver hair got caught in the collar, making it hard to continue.
Helpless, Ye Zhiyun slowly helped Ye Zhibai sit up.
The warmth of Ye Zhibai’s skin made Ye Zhiyun let out a soft cry from her throat.
“Ugh… sis, you’re really sinful, you know that? I’m just helping you change, but with this… you’ll sleep soundly while I won’t be able to sleep tonight… sigh!”
See how troubled Yun’er was! Was it easy for her!
Finally, Ye Zhiyun successfully took off Ye Zhibai’s shirt. A perfect move.
The next step was to reach out to unbutton Ye Zhibai’s brown shorts.
But this time, Ye Zhiyun didn’t succeed.
“Eh?”
Yun’er let out a small surprised gasp.
Because her wrist was suddenly grabbed mid-air.
Turning her head, she saw Ye Zhibai awake, half-squinting at her.
And staring very intently.
“Uh… sis? You’re awake? I was just helping you change into pajamas, I…”
“Yun’er, you’re a naughty child.”
“Eh?!!”
Sis, why are you praising me like this!
Ye Zhiyun was surprised and then stunned.
She realized her sister was not her usual self, still in a daze. Although awake, she wasn’t fully conscious.
It was evident from the dazed look in her lavender eyes; Ye Zhibai was almost unconscious.
Still held by Ye Zhibai, Ye Zhiyun could easily break free, but she wouldn’t exert force.
She would never take actions that might harm her sister.
Ye Zhibai continued to squint, moving her head forward until they were close enough to hear each other’s breathing.
While Ye Zhiyun enjoyed it, something seemed wrong with her sister!
She instinctively leaned back and blinked rapidly.
“Sis…? What are you doing? You should rest.”
“Yun’er… you… don’t understand, I… really hate mustard…”
Guang Yu shuddered, infuriated. How could you say you don’t like mustard! The warrior title is revoked!
Ye Zhiyun didn’t understand and tried to persuade her with a bitter smile.
“Sis~ I get it, you want to be spoiled by Yun’er, right? Okay, but let’s talk when you’re comfortable, not… Hey!! Sis?!”
Before she could finish, Ye Zhiyun had to shut up!
Ye Zhibai, still groggy, suddenly stood up and grabbed Yun’er’s arm.
Before Yun’er could grasp what was happening, she was pinned to the bed by Ye Zhibai!
Ye Zhiyun was slightly panicked, her wrists held tightly by her sister!
“Eh? Eh?! Sis, what are you doing? Don’t, I’m sweaty! I haven’t showered, it’ll all get on your sheets!”
“Ugh… Yun’er treating herself as an outsider, that’s… bad.”
“No, no, sis, you’re talking nonsense! I’m not treating myself as an outsider, I’m just saying…”
“Yun’er… you’ve been sneaky lately… disobedient… need to be punished.”
“Punished? What do you mean… huh?!!”
Yun’er’s surprised cry filled the room.
Surprised and almost off-key delicate!
Heaven’s blessings often come unexpectedly.
And fiercely.
Just now, Ye Zhibai was swaying, barely able to stand.
But she made a sudden, determined, astonishing move.
She raised her left hand and slapped Yun’er’s buttocks hard!
Slap—a sound of great elasticity!
Ye Zhibai looked at her hand, puzzled.
Uh, what was I doing just now?
I don’t know… just felt dizzy, like everything was swaying like a giant pendulum.
Uh, why is Yun’er lying there motionless?
Seems like she’s trembling?
Maybe she’s thinking of something happy.
Well.
Guang Yu had to admit, Ye Zhibai had indeed become a true warrior!
