Chapter 104

Chi Yu gently wiped the wine from the corner of Song Luokui's mouth, his voice low, "Would you like another drink?"

Song Luokui was panting, her eyes slightly red and moist, her whole face flushed like a red apple, not sure if it was from the alcohol or from shyness.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Suddenly, there was another burst of cheers from behind them. Song Luokui then realized they were still there, though not many people, and she felt quite embarrassed. She immediately snuggled into Chi Yu's embrace, "No, I don't want to drink anymore."

Chi Yu directly pulled her onto his lap, "They didn't see."

Song Luokui let out a soft whine, lightly hitting his chest with her small hand, but still kept her head buried in his embrace.

After a while, it seemed like the alcohol was starting to affect her. She lifted her flushed face and tugged at Chi Yu's sleeve, "I feel a bit... dizzy."

Chi Yu looked at her glistening eyes, seeing that she was speaking in broken sentences, realizing she was a bit drunk.

He lifted her up in his arms and headed towards the villa.

Along the way, he passed through the kitchen and told the chef, "Please send the hangover soup to my room."

"Yes, sir."

Chi Yu carried Song Luokui to the room, placing her on the bed. The hangover soup soon arrived, and Chi Yu brought it back to the bedside.

Song Luokui was still wide awake, but her senses seemed a bit dulled.

Chi Yu held the hangover soup to her lips, "Good girl, have a little. Your head won't hurt tomorrow."

Song Luokui blinked her eyes at the liquid in the cup, then looked down and took a sip, scrunching her face and turning away, "It's... hard... I don't want to drink it."

Chi Yu coaxed her, "Have just one more small sip, and I'll give you some candy later."

But Song Luokui turned to look at him, staring at him for a while, then raised her finger and swayed it back and forth, "No, you're not my brother. I only have one brother." She remembered her brother's name was Song Luosheng.

Chi Yu was both amused and a little annoyed. Even when drunk, she still remembered this. He was even a bit jealous of Song Luosheng. "Then who am I?"

Song Luokui: "You... you are Chi Yu."

Chi Yu: "Besides that, what am I to you? What should you call me?"

Song Luokui's eyes were drooping, "Sleeping now." As soon as she said that, she fell asleep.

Chi Yu lay down beside her, stroking her hair and gazing at her lips, now reddened and swollen from the sucking. His eyes narrowed, and eventually he couldn't resist leaning down to give her a light kiss.

...

The next morning, Song Luokui was awakened by the sound of the heavy rain. She sat up with her eyes closed, checking the time on her phone - it was just past 3 a.m. in Banras.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the sky and the entire room. Song Luokui shuddered in fear.

She quickly turned on the room light and looked outside. She could faintly see the tumultuous sea in the distance, the rain pounding relentlessly against the windows. Another lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and she saw the trees on the nearby mountain swaying violently.

Song Luokui felt quite frightened. She hurriedly closed all the curtains, then ran back to the bed, burrowing under the covers with just her eyes peeking out.

She couldn't help but feel like the howling wind and waves sounded even louder. Suddenly, another bolt of lightning struck, and the overhead lights flickered before going dark completely - she didn't know if it was a power outage or an electrical issue.

Song Luokui fearfully hid completely under the covers.

But it still felt so terrifying. She even started to worry that the seawater might flood in and submerge the villa.

As her fear grew, Song Luokui grabbed her phone, turned on the flashlight, and quickly ran out of the room.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The knocking sounded especially loud in the night.

Chi Yu immediately opened his eyes and got up. As soon as he opened the door, a soft body hurried into his embrace. Chi Yu quickly held her, seeing the raging storm outside and understanding what was going on.

"Don't be afraid." Chi Yu carried her to the bed and tucked the blanket around her. He had just turned on the lights, but they weren't working.

Song Luokui's muffled voice came from under the covers, "Seems like the power is out."

Chi Yu: "It might be the electrical box. Let me make a call." He picked up his phone and called the villa's caretaker, who quickly sent someone to check on it.

After hanging up, Chi Yu lay down next to Song Luokui, embracing her gently. "Don't be afraid. Even if the power is out, the villa has a backup generator. The electricity will be back soon."

Song Luokui turned to hug his waist, "When I woke up, it was just raging wind and rain outside, with thunderstorms. I was afraid the seawater would flood in."

Chi Yu stroked her hair, "That won't happen. When the villa was built, they considered that risk. This area hasn't had any seawater intrusion issues in over 200 years, which is why the villa was built here. The weather in Banras can be like this sometimes, but it should be back to normal in about a day."

Sensing Chi Yu's familiar scent, Song Luokui's fear lessened significantly. "Why?"
