Chapter 476: How could we not let him go up to the sky and pluck the stars? (Second Update)

"At last, she’s willing to go back," Gu Xinuo sighed with relief.

Wei Nan opened the car door, and Li Mochan placed Ye Jiuliang inside. Turning around, Gu Xinuo walked up to him.

She snorted coldly, her tone slightly angry, "Li Mochan, if I could, I’d really like to beat you up. Ajiu never cries, but because of you, she’s cried several times."

"If you can’t take good care of her, Chu Chen and I will never let you off."

Having said that, she turned and left, walking back to her own car.

Li Mochan remained silent for a long time before he walked around to the other side and got into the car.

As soon as he settled down, the person beside him clung to him.

The person in his arms reeked of alcohol, and Li Mochan’s brows flashed with a hint of helplessness, his iron arm wrapping around her waist habitually.

Realizing his action, Li Mochan furrowed his brows.

Looking at the drunken figure in his arms, words slipped out of Li Mochan’s mouth without thought, "Drink less in the future."

Ye Jiuliang nodded messily, unclear about what he was saying.

When they arrived back at Mo Garden, the lights in the living room were still on.

Everyone had become night owls these past few days; it was past midnight, and nobody had returned to their rooms to rest.

Hearing the car engine, Jiang Yisheng ran to the door, and upon seeing Li Mochan carrying someone back, a smile appeared on his face.

He turned his head to look at Madam Jiang and the others, saying with a grin, "Cousin has brought Jiuliang back."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally felt a weight lifted from their hearts.

Not long after his words fell, Li Mochan walked in carrying Ye Jiuliang, both of them covered in fine snowflakes.

"How did Xiaojiu get so drunk?" Veya couldn’t hide her concern upon seeing the person asleep in Li Mochan’s arms.

"The lady’s just drunk ," Wei Nan explained. "Just give her some sobering tea."

"I’ll go make it." Aunt Ju turned and headed for the kitchen.

"Ahan, you take Ajiu to the room first. Someone will bring the sobering tea to you later," advised Madam Jiang.

Li Mochan hummed an acknowledgment, carrying Ye Jiuliang upstairs.

The door to the room wasn’t closed tightly, and with a gentle kick of his toes, it opened.

Li Mochan walked steadily to the bedside, about to lay the person down on the bed, when the woman’s slender arms clung to his neck and wouldn’t let go.

In a gentle voice, he said, "Let go first, so I can turn on the heating for you."

"Don’t want to," mumbled Ye Jiuliang.

"Then what do you want to do?" asked Li Mochan, his head aching.

"Clothes, need a bath." Ye Jiuliang tugged at his collar, shaking him, her speech muddled.

"You help me wash."

A bath?

Li Mochan froze.

Him, help her wash?

At the thought, his earlobes turned faintly red, "First let go, I’ll get someone to help you."

"I don’t want anyone else, I want you." Ye Jiuliang hooked his neck, using both feet to hang on to him.

Li Mochan’s lips were tightly pursed, the flush on his ears spreading to his neck.

"Cough cough."

The sound of coughing suddenly disrupted the scene quite awkwardly.

Jiang Yisheng stood at the door with a bowl, his gaze evasive and his expression slightly embarrassed.

He didn’t mean to be a third wheel, he swore.

Li Mochan pulled down Ye Jiuliang’s hands, turning his gaze toward him.

"Cousin, I’ve brought the sobering tea, I’ll be leaving right away," Jiang Yisheng chuckled nervously, hastening his steps inside.

After placing the bowl on the table, he dashed away so fast he seemingly vanished.

Once she was settled, Li Mochan straightened up and walked towards the coffee table.

Picking up the bowl, Li Mochan turned around only to find that the person on the bed had disappeared.

He furrowed his brows, and suddenly, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

This was bad.

Li Mochan put down the bowl and rushed to the bathroom; the tap was left on, water splashing all over the floor.

However, the instigator was lying in the bathtub, her coat thrown onto the ground.

Seeing Li Mochan standing at the doorway, Ye Jiuliang raised her legs, beckoning him with her finger.

"Come here, help your lord wash my hair."

Li Mochan, "..."

This one, she’s really asking for a spanking.

She took a deep breath to avoid fainting from anger.

Li Mochan turned off the faucet and extended his hand to pull her up.

His face stern, "Get up, the water’s too cold."

"Help me wash my hair." Ye Jiuliang blinked her eyes, tugging at the corner of his clothes with an attitude that suggested she wouldn’t let go until he agreed.

They locked eyes.

After a few seconds of standoff, Li Mochan surrendered.

He really was defeated by her.

Adjusting the water temperature, he took the shower head, "Come here."

Ye Jiuliang curled her lips and obediently bent down her head as Li Mochan held the shower head, rinsing her hair with practiced ease that surprised even himself.

The steam filled the air, and with the alcohol going to her head, Ye Jiuliang began to feel sleepy.

Li Mochan wrapped her wet hair in a towel, "Your hair is washed, I’ve prepared the bath for you, hurry up and take it."

He turned around, only to have his wrist suddenly seized.

"Help me scrub my back."

Drunk as a lord, her mouth still wasn’t short of playing the rogue.

Li Mochan, "..."

Where on earth had this weirdo come from?

Ye Jiuliang shook his hand while holding it, her voice laced with laughter, "Li Mochan, with your thick skin, surely you’re not shy again, are you?"

Li Mochan’s handsome face darkened as he ground his teeth ominously.

Turning around, under the light, there was a brazen smile tugging at the corners of the girl’s lips.

His voice low, "This is your own doing."

Moments later, Ye Jiuliang, wrapped up like a zongzi, was dumped on the couch.

The sobering tea in the bowl was still warm as Li Mochan brought the bowl to her lips, "Open your mouth."

With her dried hair in disarray, Ye Jiuliang opened her mouth and obediently drank the sobering tea.

Setting down the bowl, Li Mochan grabbed her by the collar and tossed her onto the bed.

"Go to sleep now."

Ye Jiuliang caught his hand, suddenly a bit more sober.

"What about you?" she asked.

"I’ll sleep on the sofa," Li Mochan said.

Ye Jiuliang immediately disapproved, "No, you have to warm the bed for me."

"..."

He had helped her bathe, fed her sobering tea.

Now he was expected to warm the bed too?

Why didn’t she ask him to climb to the heavens to pluck stars for her?

Ye Jiuliang stood up, staggering, "Then how about I accompany you to sleep on the sofa?"

Looking at her sincere face, Li Mochan laughed despite himself.

"Move inside."

Ye Jiuliang’s eyes crinkled with a smile, she rolled over, moving further in to make space for him.

Li Mochan flipped back the covers and had barely lain down when the person beside him automatically rolled into his embrace.

As her slender arms came to rest across his waist, Li Mochan stiffened.

A flicker of discomfort crossed his eyes as he purposely set his face in a scowl and rebuked, "Behave yourself."

Ye Jiuliang ignored him, her small face pressed against his chest, and she soon fell asleep.

The breathing from his arms grew steady, and looking down at her, Li Mochan’s heart softened at the sight of her rosy cheeks.

What a troublesome little thing.

**

The next day, they all slept in again.

Jiang Yisheng unprecedentedly became the first to wake up; just as he was about to go buy breakfast for everyone, he met Gu Xinuo outside.

"Are you looking for Jiuliang?" Jiang Yisheng asked.

Gu Xinuo stuck his head out the car window, "Yeah."

"Jiuliang hasn’t woken up yet, I’m going to buy breakfast for them."

It was normal to sleep in after drinking so much.

Gu Xinuo smiled, "Get in, I’ll take you, I’ve got nothing else to do."
