The Seventeenth Chapter: Drunkenness and Following the Wind

  Zhi Quan sighed and looked at Lu Meiyou, who was full of worry, and continued to say, "And that place is almost 10 kilometers away from school. We have to ride our bikes to class every day! Starting tomorrow, I don't know why my life is so miserable! I originally thought I could have some fun, but who knew Lu Xian Sheng would cause so much trouble..."

  Mei You suddenly became excited, "What did you just say? What school? Are you guys still planning to go to school?"

  "Yes! Lu Xiansheng is going to school, what can I do? At first, I said I wasn't going to go, but someone's words made me fall down. If I don't attend classes, they'll throw me into a restaurant to wash dishes... You tell me, what can I do? I know he won't make me wash dishes, but he'll definitely throw me into that place called Baliqun to feed the wolves..."

  Mei You smiled, "You two are still the same! Sigh ~ haha ~ I thought after such a long time had passed, you two would have changed a bit! What's Xuan Sheng's phone number? I want to see him now..."

  Zhi Quan shook his head, "Forget it, sis, he has more important things to attend to than seeing you right now."

  Mei You looked at Zhi Quan with a puzzled expression, and it was at this time that Zhi Quan's phone rang, displaying Lu Xuan Sheng's number. Zhi Quan shook his head helplessly, "Man plans but heaven decides, I helped you block the way, but you yourself jumped into the net... Ah, monster! The goddess is here! You should be beaten back to your original form!"

  Zhiquan looked at his phone, unsure whether he should answer or hang up. Meiyou glanced at Zhiquan's hesitant expression and smiled, easily taking the phone from his hand and answering the call on speakerphone!

  "What the hell, why did it take you so long to pick up the phone? What were you doing?" Lü Xuánshèng's angry roar came from the other end of the line.

  Zhi Quan helplessly looked at the phone on the tea table between him and Mei You, let out a long sigh, "Hey, monster, why are you calling me now?"

  "Cut the crap! If I wasn't in a hurry, why would I call you? Give me Shen Xiaoxuan's phone number! I'm right across from the hotel now, but I couldn't find those two!"

  "Oh~ I'll send you a short message!"

  "Not now? You're busy with which beauty again?! Depressing!"

  Zhi Quan burst out laughing, "I'm not hitting on beautiful women, I'm being hit on by beautiful women now!"

  Lu Xiansheng let out a sigh of frustration on the other end. Mei You glared at Chen Zhiquan, "No respect for elders!" Then she continued to speak into the phone, "Xiansheng? It's your sister, say something if you can hear me!"

  Lu Xiansheng was startled! Holding his mobile phone, he didn't know what to say. Mei You glanced at Chen Zhiquan who had been smiling foolishly across from him and said into the phone to Lu Xiansheng: "I know you heard me, I came to Hami not to force you guys back home, just wanted to chat with you first, when you really want to go back we'll go together! Got it?"

  "Wow, I knew this day would come, just didn't think it'd be so soon! You and Zhi Quan stay in Feng Yun for a bit, I've got something to take care of. After that, I'll go find you guys. Oh, have Zhi Quan send me Xiao Xuan's phone number, gotta hang up now! Goddess, see you later!"

  Mei You still smiled and said to Chen Zhiquan, "Quickly send the phone number that Xuan Sheng wants to him!"

  Zhi Quan nodded and picked up his phone, sending Xiao Xuan's phone number to Xuan Sheng.

  "What's Xīang Shèng doing? Is it important?" asked Mei You.

  Zhi Quan had a very serious look on his face, "Sigh, is it important? As long as it's more important than you, that's all that matters! Hahaha!"

  Mei You shook her head gloomily and threw a pillow over, but it was just that Zhi Quan's reaction speed was fast, otherwise, it might have hit those dazed big eyes...

  Xuan Sheng dialed the number from the text message sent by Zhi Quan and called Xiao Xuan. The phone connected, but instead of hearing Xiao Xuan's voice, a loud noise came through. "Luo Er, don't be like this... If you continue like this, I really can't take it! Really, stop making trouble! Can't we talk things over..." It was Xiao Xuan's voice.

  Lu Xiansheng anxiously asked loudly on the phone, "Shen Xiaoxuan, where are you? I am Lu Xiansheng!" The passersby's eyes stopped at this young man who was shouting loudly on the road!

  Xiao Xuan was panting and holding the phone with one hand, while pulling Luo'er with the other. "I know you're Lu Xiansheng, where are you now?"

  "I'm on this pedestrian street opposite Fengyuan! Where are you?"

  "We're at... never mind, just take a taxi and say you're going to the back door of Times Square. We'll be by the artificial lake next to the back door!"

  "Man-made lake? What! What's going on?! Be careful and watch her, she can't swim..." Xuan Sheng hailed a taxi while saying this to Xiao Xuan.

  "I knew it earlier than you, hurry up!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Xuan hung up the phone!

  He hailed a taxi, and before he even got in, Xuan Sheng pulled out a 100-yuan bill and stuffed it into the driver's hand, asking: "Is 100 yuan enough to get to the back door of Times Square?" The driver shuddered, startled by Lu Xuan Sheng's unsettling behavior, hastily returned the money, saying "I'm not going to the square!" before stepping on the gas and speeding away!

  Xuan Sheng shook his head in dismay, unable to understand the situation. He hailed another car and asked the driver to take him to the square first. When they arrived at the square, the driver only asked for 5 yuan! Xuan Sheng was worried and frustrated, "What's wrong with these people? They don't even want more money!"

  The artificial lake in the square is very eye-catching, and Xian Sheng rushes over as soon as he sees it...

  When he arrived, Luo Er was still by the lake going crazy, and Xiao Xuan only carefully protected her. Xuan Sheng grabbed Luo Er who was about to run forward again, "What do you want to do?"

  The boy replied unclearly, "What I want to do has anything to do with you? No! Nothing at all!" He was still about to run forward.

  Xuan Sheng hugged Luo Er tightly, holding her firmly in his arms, and didn't let go no matter how hard she struggled. Xuan Sheng said to Xiao Xuan who was standing aside sighing, "Let's take a taxi, we're going straight home!"

  Xiao Xuan nodded and hailed a taxi. Xiao Xuan sat in the front, while Xuan Sheng and Luo Er were in the back. It took some effort to get Luo Er into the car, with Xuan Sheng almost having to push her in.

  "Where to? Young folks." the driver asked.

  "Where are we going?"

  "Of course she's going home! How can she go anywhere else in this state?"

  "But Aunt Yun is at home! We can't go back!"

  Xuan Sheng looked at Luo Er, who was tightly hugged by himself, and said: "Then let's go back to Feng Yun!"

  "Uh-huh!" Xiaoxuan nodded, "Master, go to Fengyun Hotel!"

  They arrived at the Wind and Cloud Hotel. Xiao Xuan, in order to avoid gossip, personally supported Luo Er as they walked inside, while Xuan Sheng followed beside them...

  "Are we not opening the room?" Xiaoxuan asked.

  "No need to open it, go straight to the 12th floor!" Xuan Sheng said.

  "Oh ~ haha ~ how did you know there is accommodation on the 12th floor?"

  "Hehe~" Xuan Sheng didn't say much...

  Arrived at the 12th floor lobby, Xuan Sheng called Zhi Quan, "Hey, Zhi Quan, let my sister open a room on the 12th floor for me. You guys don't need to come up, I'll be right down!" Zhi Quan agreed and then hung up the phone.

  "Sister, Shuang Sheng asked you to open a room for him on the 12th floor, he'll be right down!" Zhi Quan was holding the remote control and flipping through TV channels.

  Mei Youyin asked him gloomily, "What's he doing opening a room? Otherwise, shall we go upstairs and take a look?"

  "Never mind, don't go, just give him a room key, anyway we two have nothing to do, let's just wait here."

  "Okay!" Mei You dialed Wang Jun's phone, "Hello, Manager Wang! I'm Lu Mei You!"

  "Oh~ Meiyou Miss, is there anything you'd like to instruct?"

  "My brother is on the 12th floor, can you open a room for him? Sorry for the trouble!"

  "Good!" Then Wang Jun arranged a luxurious suite for Xuan Sheng. Xuan Sheng, Xiao Xuan and Luo Er entered the room.

  "How did Luo Er end up like this?" Xuan Sheng asked Xiao Xuan with a heartache, looking at the soft and weak Luo Er lying on the sofa.

  "Because of my brother!" Xiao Xuan sighed.

  "Shen Kai? What did he do to Luo Er?" Xuan Sheng asked tensely.

  "It's nothing, it's just because my brother is like that towards Bai Shi, so Luo Er... maybe she's just jealous! I don't know why she would be so overreacting!"

  "Where did she drink?"

  "I'm not very clear either, but after I left Fengyun, I originally wanted to go find her and Yunniang. But people said Yunniang wasn't working, she came to Fengyun looking for us... Later, I saw her in the courtyard next door, she was drinking all along! When I went over, she had already drunk a lot!"

  "Go get some hot water from the kitchen and tell the chef to prepare a dish to sober him up! Here, I'll watch for now!"

  "Uh-huh!" Xiaoxuan nodded and left!

  Looking at Luo Er lying on the sofa, suffering terribly, Xuan Sheng's heart was like a knife twisting, "Luo Er, how can you be so stupid? Drinking so much wine is very harmful to your body! Why don't you know how to take care of yourself? Do you know or not, seeing you like this makes me feel terrible! Very terrible..."

  Luo'er struggled to slowly sit up on the sofa, looking at Lu Xiangsheng with a very wronged expression and said, "Do you know or not, I'm really sad! Really sad! I like him! But he likes Bai Shi! I know I can't compare to Bai Shi, she has everything that I don't have! I have no way to compete, no capital to fight for it, I have nothing at all... Why do I have nothing at all!"

  Xuan Sheng grasped Luo Er's hand, "Luo Er, sometimes some things can't be forced! If it's yours, then it's yours no matter what. If it's not yours, you'll never get it! Emotions don't need conditions because love is reasonless, just like how I like you, there's no particular reason! Every move you make makes my heart skip a beat or ache!"
