Chapter 131: Drunk

Chapter 131

The time for filming passed quickly, as it was a film project with a tight storyline, originally planned to be completed in two months, but it actually wrapped up one month ahead of schedule.

During that one month, ever since their relationship was established, Yu Luobai had become increasingly clingy, being more blatant about it on the set, hugging and leaning on her, even stealing kisses during breaks.

Director Xiao and Peng He were getting tired of watching it, feeling aesthetically fatigued, as they had known these two for so long, but this was the first time they had seen Yu Luobai be so lovey-dovey in a relationship.

In contrast, He Yi was inwardly worried, fearing that their relationship was developing too well, and if they were to break up in the future, their artist might attempt suicide again, which she wouldn't be able to handle, living in constant trepidation.

The crew members were on the frontline of shipping the couple, some even taking out their phones to take photos, as the two had not officially announced their relationship, so it had not been made public yet.

Ji Nian felt somewhat embarrassed at first, but after spending so much time with Yu Luobai, sticking to him day after day, she had thickened her skin, although she was still frequently flustered and her heart would race when he teased her.

At the wrap-up dinner in the evening, Peng He cheerfully sang with He Yi, and Director Xiao also got lively with the crew members.

Ji Nian, not being able to hold her liquor, initially had no intention of drinking, but found the red wine in front of her quite delicious, not realizing how strong its aftereffect was.

By the time everyone had sobered up, they found her sitting in her seat, swaying her head in a daze.

He Yi, amused and exasperated, helped her up and said, "Sister, why did you drink so much?"

Director Xiao, seeing the empty bottles on the table, laughed and said, "This wine is good, sweet, but has a strong aftereffect. Little Nian got carried away."

"Director Xiao, you all keep enjoying yourselves, I'll take her back," He Yi said, supporting the woman.

"Let me carry her back," Yu Luobai said, with a helpless look in his eyes, as he had only left her for a while, and she had already gotten drunk.

He Yi's heart skipped a beat, this won't do, as her boyfriend's relationship, Ji Nian had gotten drunk, what if something unspeakable were to happen...

"No, no, no, you're the lead actor, you can't leave early. I'll take little Nian back," He Yi shook her head, a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Yu Luobai could see her thoughts, and just felt that this manager was honest, and would protect her artist.

"Since Nian has a boyfriend to take her back, don't bother, come, let's sing together," Peng He quickly pulled He Yi away.

"That's right, Luobai is strong, he can carry or piggyback her back, you're a girl, it'll be too much trouble for you to just support her," Director Xiao chimed in, providing backup.

He Yi was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"I'll take good care of her," Yu Luobai looked at He Yi, his eyes sincere, just wanting to assure her not to overthink it.

He Yi was taken aback, realizing that her thoughts had been seen through, feeling a bit embarrassed, she nodded awkwardly and said, "Okay."

Yu Luobai took the woman in his arms, easily carrying her in a bridal hold, and she clung to his neck in a daze, her gaze vacant.

Yu Luobai also yawned, his hand still gently patting her back. Once he felt her fall asleep, he gave her a light kiss.

He tried to get up, but found that he couldn't move at all, as she had clung to him tightly, her legs wrapped around his waist.

Ji Nian felt him stir and hugged him even tighter, mumbling, "Don't move."

Yu Luobai froze, a hint of concealed emotion flashing in his eyes, then he naturally embraced her.

He reached out to tidy up the blanket, planning to stay like this for the night, since he couldn't leave anyway, right? He couldn't help but smile, suddenly feeling extremely happy, realizing that sleeping with the person he loved felt this way, his heart completely filled.

The next morning, the sunlight from the window lit up the room, and Ji Nian opened her eyes, only to suddenly find a hand blocking her view.

"You're awake," Yu Luobai helped shield her from the glaring sunlight, smiling.

Ji Nian was taken aback, mechanically turning her head to see that she was lying in the man's arms, utterly shocked.

"I, you, you..." She sat up abruptly.

Yu Luobai's expression was gentle, as he smiled and said, "Do you remember what happened last night?"

Ji Nian's mind went blank, did she black out? She looked at her own clothes, and asked somewhat dazedly, "Did we... do anything?"

Yu Luobai chuckled, sitting up as well, tapping her forehead, and said helplessly, "Last night, you got drunk and insisted on sleeping with me."

Ji Nian's face flushed red, feeling a bit embarrassed to look at him, and said, "I..."

Yu Luobai pulled her into his embrace, kissed her lips, then buried his face in her neck, chuckling, "Good morning, Nian Nian."

Ji Nian's heart warmed, and she tentatively placed her hands on his waist, softly saying, "Good morning."

"Let's get up, we need to pack our bags to go back to Jingdu today," Yu Luobai was reluctant to let go of her.

"We're going back to Jingdu so soon?" Ji Nian was still a bit disoriented.

Yu Luobai pinched her cheek, "The wrap-up dinner was last night, of course we need to go back."

Ji Nian, still groggy from just waking up, obediently nodded, "Alright, let's get up then."

Yu Luobai chuckled, helping her put on her slippers, then with a strong arm, he pulled her into his embrace.

Ji Nian was startled, wrapping her arms around his neck, and said, "Professor Yu, I can walk on my own."

"I want to hold you," Yu Luobai said with an upturned smile.
