"Tell me! What are your conditions?" Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Xing Yuan was still capable of communication.
Yan Xiyue had been her friend for so many years. Although she felt she might have wronged her this time, in the long run, this was the best solution.
"My condition is: you keep a distance from her, preferably at least one meter away, and you are not allowed to be alone with her when I'm not looking!"
Xing Yuan declared that she was unhappy, and she wouldn't let this person be happy either. If she was going to hell, she might as well drag a companion along!
"Okay!" Mo Yu had no objections. It was already a pleasant surprise that the school bully was willing to compromise. In fact, Xing Yuan might care about Yan Xiyue more than she imagined.
If that was the case, perhaps she should also make her exit. That faint crush from her youth should remain in her heart forever, never to see the light of day.
"Then it's settled!" Xing Yuan extended her hand as if to shake hers.
Mo Yu smiled and placed her hand on it.
And then... the world spun. Xing Yuan strode away.
Mo Yu clutched her waist, a bitter smile on her face. So ruthless! That over-the-shoulder throw earlier had shown no mercy at all.
"Boss..." As Xing Yuan reached the alley entrance, a subordinate immediately approached her.
"Let's go! We'll let her off this time." Xing Yuan said, pulling out her phone and making a transfer.
Xing Yuan put away her phone, patted the shoulder of the person beside her, and forced a smile. "My brothers shouldn't work for nothing. This is for tea money."
"Thank you, Boss!" another loud voice echoed.
Xing Yuan nodded casually. It wasn't until she returned home that her vulnerable side showed. She took out several bottles of good wine from the cellar, sat on the sofa, and guzzled them from the bottle.
Even though she knew she just had to wait patiently for a little longer, it still hurt so much. According to her plan, in a few more months, Sister would completely accept her, and she wanted to be close to Sister.
She angrily smashed the empty wine bottle on the ground. She should not have gone to settle scores with that person. Now, she was the one feeling depressed.
No, persistence is victory! Although she couldn't confess her feelings for now, she could still see Sister every day. She should be happier.
Xing Yuan got completely drunk at home and slept in her room the next day, completely forgetting about classes.
Except for Yan Xiyue, who was worried, and Mo Yu, who knew the truth, everyone else in the classroom breathed a collective sigh of relief. The school bully was finally not coming anymore. Although after seeing her so many times, they had developed some immunity to her intimidating aura.
But no one wanted to have someone in the classroom who was equivalent to a teacher all the time!
Yan Xiyue's eyes held a hint of worry. Why would she suddenly stop coming? Was something wrong?
After school, Yan Xiyue pulled Mo Yu along to find Xing Yuan at her home. Her heart was filled with concern. After all, they had been friends for so long, and Xing Yuan wouldn't hide anything from her.
So, when she went to her house for tutoring on the weekend, she had already learned some things. Her parents were always away, so if anything happened, no one would know.
However, given Xing Yuan's "glorious" rumors at school, Yan Xiyue thought it was more likely that she had gone out to fight rather than something having happened to her. But she still had to go and check to be reassured!
Yan Xiyue looked at the message box that had not received a reply for a long time, then directly took out the spare key and walked in.
This was given to her by Xing Yuan earlier, who insisted that she wouldn't need to knock in the future if she came over. Even though she always went to pick her up. Yan Xiyue didn't understand, but seeing Xing Yuan's resolute attitude, she accepted it, and it turned out to be useful after all.
Xing Yuan's house was messy. Part of it was due to her drunken rampage last night, and part of it was because she was too lazy to clean. She only bothered to tidy up before picking up Sister to come over on weekends, making Yan Xiyue think she was an extremely neat and tidy person.
Yan Xiyue's brows furrowed as she walked through the room, and she soon found Xing Yuan in the bedroom, reeking of alcohol and not entirely lucid.
Yan Xiyue finally found a place to settle down. She gently patted Xing Yuan and called her name twice.
"Sister~ Why are you here?" Xing Yuan's eyes were hazy. The next second, she hugged Yan Xiyue and gently nuzzled her head.
Yan Xiyue's body stiffened as she looked at Xing Yuan's strange behavior, her hands unsure of where to go.
"Good girl~ You're drunk, lie down for a bit." Yan Xiyue coaxed.
"No, I'm not! How could I be drunk? I'm already awake." Xing Yuan wrinkled her nose slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes. She remembered that she had indeed been drunk earlier, but she had woken up later and only had a little more to drink because she couldn't resist. She was perfectly clear.
"Mhm, you're not drunk. Then how about lying down to rest for a bit?" Yan Xiyue said helplessly, her gaze seeking help from Mo Yu, who was standing outside the door, enjoying the show.
Xing Yuan noticed this and instantly bared her teeth at Mo Yu like a little beast, trying to drive her away from her territory.
Mo Yu rubbed her nose, coughed lightly, and turned to leave. A soft voice floated back, "I'll go make her some hangover soup. You coax her for now!"
Yan Xiyue looked at Xing Yuan, who was clinging to her like boneless spaghetti, her eyes full of helplessness. She wasn't usually this clingy, was she? Did drinking alcohol somehow awaken a completely different side of her?
"Okay, sleep. Sister will sleep with me." Xing Yuan still thought she was dreaming. She pulled Yan Xiyue's hand and lay down, patting the space beside her to signal her to lie down as well.
Yan Xiyue was helpless. After hesitating, she decided not to provoke a drunkard and to cooperate for now. It would be fine once she sobered up.
Xing Yuan looked at Yan Xiyue, who was lying obediently on the bed, her eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement. The next second, she leaned over and kissed Yan Xiyue's face.
Before Yan Xiyue could react, she continued to peck at her face like a little chick, even kissing her lips when Yan Xiyue turned her head in surprise.
Xing Yuan was overjoyed, especially when she saw Yan Xiyue's dazed lack of reaction. She subconsciously pouted and said, "I like Sister the most."
Although Xing Yuan's usual tone was somewhat cold, she was now flushed with alcohol, her voice softened. Yan Xiyue looked at Xing Yuan in shock, covered her face, and directly blocked Xing Yuan's next move from the source.
This is too much! Although they usually had a good relationship, and a little kiss now and then was fine, she couldn't keep kissing like this. It felt a bit strange.
Xing Yuan didn't notice anything amiss. She just felt a little disappointed when she couldn't kiss anymore. She stared at Yan Xiyue, and the next second, her kiss landed lightly on the back of Yan Xiyue's hand, which was covering her face.
