WG - 60

Unexpectedly kissed, Chi Zhiyu initially thought Xie Ye was even more drunk and becoming incoherent.

But the subsequent eye contact and his words drifted over with the cool summer breeze.

They settled deep within her heart.

You’re here.

So I’m not going anywhere.

The heavy atmosphere around them dissipated, along with her unease and anxiety, gradually fading away.

Chi Zhiyu met his gaze, licked her lips, and softly asked in a tone befitting someone speaking to a drunk person, “Then what about your grandfather?”

“Hmm?” Xie Ye leaned back on her shoulder lazily. “He has plenty of grandchildren.”

One less won’t matter.

Chi Zhiyu understood, blinked, and asked, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll come looking for you?”

Xie Ye casually replied, “That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”

Hearing this familiar line, Chi Zhiyu chuckled. “What exactly is in your dictionary, then?”

“Oh.” Xie Ye’s tone was slow. “I won’t tell you.”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu now believed he might truly be drunk. She supported his shoulder with one hand. “Stand up straight. If you get dizzy later, I won’t be able to carry you.”

Xie Ye used her strength to slowly straighten himself. “If you can’t carry me, will you just leave me?”

“What else can I do?” Chi Zhiyu sincerely replied, “I’m not strong enough to carry you.”

Xie Ye stared at her for two seconds before slowly uttering three words: “Heartless woman.”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and gently touched the faint mole near the corner of his eye. “Are you really drunk?”

His awareness seemed quite clear.

The roadside lighting was dim, making it hard to see the depth of his dark eyes.

As if her touch brushed against his eyelashes, Xie Ye blinked and let her guess. “What do you think?”

“I think...” Chi Zhiyu moved her fingertips, deliberately brushing against his thick lashes, and frowned slightly. “Why are your eyelashes so long?”

It felt a little ticklish.

Xie Ye caught her hand and bit it lightly near his lips. “Envious?”

Chi Zhiyu laughed at his childish remark. “Yes, are you going to give them to me?”

Xie Ye: “No.”

Chi Zhiyu burst into laughter. “Xie Ye, do you know what you’re like when you’re drunk?”

Before she finished asking, Xie Ye’s phone rang. Coincidentally, a car pulled over by the roadside behind them.

Chi Zhiyu glanced sideways. “Let’s go home.”

She first took his hand and walked toward the car, opened the rear door, pushed him inside, and then sat beside him. She gave the driver an address.

The driver glanced at Xie Ye in the backseat. “Is he drunk?”

Xie Ye calmly turned to look at her, neither confirming nor denying.

Chi Zhiyu realized and said, “Oh, don’t worry, he won’t throw up.”

“If he does, let me know beforehand so I can make you get out.”

“Mm, okay.”

Chi Zhiyu turned to Xie Ye and softly asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Her words seemed to remind him of something.

Xie Ye looked up. “A bit.”

Chi Zhiyu thought for a moment and suggested, “Then lean on my shoulder and rest—”

Before she finished, Xie Ye directly pulled her into his arms and rested his head on her shoulder. “Like this?”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu eyed him suspiciously. “Is this comfortable for you?”

Xie Ye lazily replied, “Didn’t you tell me to lean on you?”

“I told you to lean, not to hug.”

After saying that, Chi Zhiyu felt it was futile to explain to a drunk person. In a casual tone, she said, “Fine, hug away.”

As if he couldn’t resist.

Xie Ye leaned on her shoulder and inexplicably chuckled. His shoulders and chest vibrated with laughter. He hummed, “Alright, I’ll hug.”

Chi Zhiyu didn’t bother arguing with him anymore. She leaned against him as well. After a moment of silence, she suddenly remembered how his friend had addressed her earlier and teased him. “Oh, right, Younger Brother Ye, you seem to have a low rank among your friends.”

“?”

“Just now, your friend called me ‘sister-in-law.’”

“...” Xie Ye looked down at her. “Sister-in-law?”

Chi Zhiyu lazily responded, “So you’re the younger brother?”

Xie Ye smirked. “Who called me?”

Chi Zhiyu shook her head. “I don’t know. It was just a string of numbers. Check it later when you get back.”

“Oh, and,” Chi Zhiyu blinked and added, “His voice was quite pleasant.”

“...”

The atmosphere grew quiet.

Xie Ye’s lips tightened, his tone devoid of emotion. “What did you say?”

Chi Zhiyu looked at his expression.

Normally, Xie Ye’s expressions toward her were neutral—not cold, not warm. Occasionally, there was a hint of mockery, but everything seemed normal.

But now, his face was completely cold and emotionless. His lips were pressed tightly together, his features sharp, his face devoid of any expression.

His narrow eyes were pitch-black, slightly sunken.

At this moment, his icy face exuded immense pressure, his aura overwhelming.

He was angry.

Realizing this, Chi Zhiyu thought about why he was upset and tried to suppress her laughter. But after a while, she couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

“...”

Seeing her laugh, Xie Ye gradually felt a headache coming on.

From being irritated.

Chi Zhiyu couldn’t stop laughing. Xie Ye couldn’t bear it any longer and released her, moving to sit alone on the side.

Without his embrace, Chi Zhiyu felt empty and leaned back into the seat. She suppressed her smile and leaned closer to him, knowingly asking, “What’s wrong? Feeling nauseous?”

Xie Ye didn’t even blink, his tone sour. “Don’t talk to me.”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu blinked and softly asked, “Why? Is it because you’re uncomfortable?”

Xie Ye’s face remained expressionless. “What do you think?”

“I think,” Chi Zhiyu still wanted to laugh, her lips unconsciously curving upwards again, “this isn’t worth getting so angry over.”

Xie Ye watched her smiling face and sneered coldly. “It is.”

Chi Zhiyu, seemingly fearless, burst into laughter again. “Hahahaha.”

“...”

This time, Xie Ye felt not only a headache but also a dull ache in his stomach.

However, Chi Zhiyu didn’t laugh for long. Knowing she shouldn’t push too far, she quickly moved closer to him, suppressing her laughter. “Alright, alright, I won’t tease you. I wasn’t paying attention to the caller’s voice earlier; I lied to you.”

Xie Ye ignored her.

Chi Zhiyu persisted, leaning closer. “Really, I didn’t even recognize who it was. How could I notice if his voice was pleasant or not?”

Xie Ye continued to ignore her.

Chi Zhiyu looked at his still cold profile and wanted to laugh again, but fearing he’d truly be angry, she glanced at the driver in front and leaned close to him. Using her ultimate move, she quickly kissed the corner of his mouth and whispered, “Alright, let’s not be angry anymore.”

“...”

Xie Ye’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. He turned his head slightly, half-glaring at her, and snorted as if unimpressed. “Do you think this is how you comfort a child?”

“No.” Chi Zhiyu pointed at him and slowly said, “I’m comforting a drunkard.”

“...”

Xie Ye suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

Chi Zhiyu watched his expression and curved her lips again. Her fingertips brushed his still-tight lips. “So you’re not angry anymore, right?”

Xie Ye knew full well she was doing it on purpose. He grabbed her hand and pinched her fingertips, his tone somewhat displeased. “Fun teasing me, huh?”

Once calling him handsome, now complimenting another man’s voice.

Repeatedly.

Chi Zhiyu laughed and asked, “You know I’m intentionally teasing you, so why are you still angry?”

Xie Ye glanced at her, not replying.

“Alright, I understand.” Chi Zhiyu quickly backtracked. “It’s my fault. I won’t say it again next time, and I won’t dare to either.”

Looking at her expression, Xie Ye pulled her back into his arms and scoffed coldly. “I see you’re quite daring.”

“Not at all.” Chi Zhiyu shook her head. “I’m scared.”

Xie Ye raised an eyebrow. “Scared of what?”

Chi Zhiyu smiled faintly and softly said, “Scared you’ll leave.”

Xie Ye paused, lowering his eyes to look at her.

“So don’t be angry, and don’t leave me.” Chi Zhiyu tilted her head to look at him, her expression serious but her lips smiling. “I’m good to you.”

Truly good to you.

And I’ll always be good to you.

I’ll give you everything I have.

So, please, don’t abandon me.

Otherwise, she feared losing the only bit of luck she had.

She didn’t know how she’d survive.

Rarely hearing her say such things, Xie Ye paused for two seconds and softly replied, “Alright, I won’t leave.”

Chi Zhiyu looked up.

Xie Ye’s voice was gentle. “If you’re good to me, I won’t leave.”

Chi Zhiyu’s lips curved slightly. “It’s settled. You can’t leave in the future either.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Ye reached out to ruffle her hair, his tone dragging lazily. “We’ll see how good you are to me.”

“Aren’t I already being good to you?” Chi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow.

Xie Ye glanced at her. “Was that being good to me just now?”

At this, Chi Zhiyu wanted to laugh again but feared he’d get angry again. She quickly cleared her throat. “I was teasing you; it wasn’t serious.”

Xie Ye snorted and was too lazy to bring it up again. Coincidentally, the car arrived at the street entrance.

Chi Zhiyu asked the driver to stop. After paying, Xie Ye stepped out first, holding her hand as they walked in the breeze.

“Are you still feeling unwell?” Chi Zhiyu looked at him and asked leisurely.

“Mm,” Xie Ye’s tone was casual. “Not bad.”

Chi Zhiyu already guessed he was pretending to be drunk, but fearing he might actually feel unwell, she reminded him, “Remember to drink some honey water when we get back.”

“Oh.” Xie Ye’s tone was arrogant. “I won’t.”

“...” Chi Zhiyu glanced at the time, calculating that Jian Yazhi should be asleep by now. She nodded. “Then I’ll make you some.”

After saying that, she turned to look at him and reminded him, “Look how good I am to you.”

“This kindness of yours,” Xie Ye glanced at her and spat out four words, “is rather cheap.”

“...” Chi Zhiyu argued, “How is it cheap for only me to make you honey water?”

After speaking, Chi Zhiyu seemed to think of something and added, “Do you want another woman to make it for you?”

“...”

Xie Ye rarely laughed at her words but nodded. “Alright, only you will make it from now on.”

Chi Zhiyu was satisfied with this answer and wanted to say something more when suddenly a car approached from ahead. The model was simple yet elegant—a high-end sedan.

Chi Zhiyu glanced from afar, intending to pull Xie Ye aside to avoid it. However, upon noticing the license plate, she froze.

Xie Ye sensed her abnormality and turned to look.

The approaching vehicle seemed to have spotted them by the roadside. A calm voice ordered, “Stop.”

As the car passed them, it slowed and smoothly stopped in front of the two.

Chi Zhiyu was startled, seeing her reflection in the black rear window.

The next second, accompanied by a mechanical whirring sound, the window in front of them began descending uniformly.

Gradually revealing the man sitting inside, “Ayu.” Chi Yan turned his head to look at the girl outside the window and called softly, “You’re late returning.”

Chi Zhiyu hadn’t expected Chi Yan to stop. After a few seconds of shock, she regained her composure and said, “Had some matters.”

“Mm.” Chi Yan responded, his gaze lightly sweeping over Xie Ye beside her. He seemed vaguely familiar but said nothing.

“You seem to be in a hurry.” Chi Zhiyu instinctively shifted to block his view and smiled faintly. “Please go ahead with your business. I’ll return home later.”

Hearing her dismissive words and seeing their intertwined hands, Chi Yan suddenly smiled. “Ayu, aren’t you going to introduce me to your father?”

Upon hearing this, Chi Zhiyu stiffened, about to refuse.

But her palm suddenly tightened. Xie Ye held her hand, raised his eyes to look at the man inside the car, and smirked faintly. “Mr. Chi, nice to meet you.”

Chi Yan observed his expression, his smile unchanged. “And you are?”

Xie Ye’s gaze swept over him, calm and composed. “I’m Chi Zhiyu’s boyfriend.”

“...”

“My surname is Xie. Xie Ye.”
