Chapter 313: Drunk
Ou Jue’s gaze met hers directly. "She drugged me, but I didn’t do anything.""Really? Nothing at all? You were drugged, though."
"Nothing." Firm and candid.
"Alright, I believe you." Xiyan nodded, exited the news app, and turned off her phone screen.
Then she hugged Ou Jue’s arm. "Let’s go eat! It’s been ages since I had a meal with you. Today I’m going to feast!"
For a moment, a flicker of astonishment flashed in Ou Jue’s usually composed eyes.
He had thought this girl would feel jealous or suspicious after seeing that surveillance footage.
Just like those comments from the netizens.
Two people alone in a room for so long and yet nothing happened—who would believe that?
But instead, she said... she believed him.
Ou Jue pulled Xiyan’s arm in return, his grip instinctively tightening. "You really trust me that much? Hmm?"
"Why wouldn’t I? You’re the one closest to me."
Her casual tone somehow stirred something in Ou Jue.
After a while, he murmured in a low voice, "Idiot."
This trust was priceless.
He would spend his life protecting it.

By evening, Xiyan invited An Ran, and Ou Jue brought Chi Cheng and Yin Qianze along.
The five of them had a small get-together.
By the time it ended, it was already ten at night.
When Ou Jue carried the tipsy Xiyan back to the Ou Family home, Ou Xiaoluo was already fast asleep.
Grandma Ou, seeing Ou Jue return while carrying little Xiyan, was so excited she almost wanted to light fireworks outside.
She grinned mischievously and punched Ou Jue lightly on the shoulder. "Wow, impressive! You’ve finally figured it out! There’s hope for you yet!"
Ou Jue, expressionless, carried Xiyan back to his room.
Grandma Ou cheerfully followed behind him. "Once she’s asleep, you must take responsibility for her—understand?"
Calm as ever, Ou Jue gently placed Xiyan down on the bed and replied without turning his head, "Grandma, she’s still young."
"It doesn’t matter whether she’s young or not—you must still take responsibility! Back in my day, even holding someone’s hand required a marriage proposal, you know? Otherwise, it was considered indecent! Let alone her lying in your bed right now... Wahaha, engagement—it’s time to pick a good date for the engagement!"
The old lady spun around excitedly before rushing off to dig through the almanac.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to thoughtfully lock the door for her grandson and future granddaughter-in-law.
Perfect (＾－＾)V
After Grandma Ou left, the once noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down.
Ou Jue’s gaze locked onto Xiyan’s sleeping face.
Then his eyes involuntarily moved downward, and further downward...
Finally settling on her subtly rising and falling chest.
She’s still young, huh?
It seems... not that young anymore.

After showering, Ou Jue stepped out wearing a black set of pajamas.
"Xia Xiyan." He leaned down and pinched Xiyan’s delicate nose, water droplets from the strands of his damp hair dripping onto her forehead. "Go take a shower."
"Mm, don’t wanna..." Xiyan turned over and faced away from him.
"Go shower."
"No..." Her voice sounded pitiful. "Are you disgusted with me?"
"..." Ou Jue’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
He let out a silent sigh, pulled back the blanket, and lay down next to her.
A split second later, Xiyan burrowed into his arms, wrapped her hands around his waist, and drunkenly muttered, "Ou Jue..."
"Hmm?"
"I really like you."
Ou Jue turned his handsome face to the side, his gaze lowering slightly. "What did you say?"
"I really like you."
His voice grew a little hoarse. "Still didn’t catch that."
Xiyan, in her drunken haze, slurred her words. "I-I said... I really like you!"
In an instant, Ou Jue flipped over, but as he lifted his head, he realized the girl had already fallen asleep.
Ou Jue: ......
One day, this woman would drive him crazy.
Morning arrived.
"Mm..." Xiyan stretched lazily and slowly opened her eyes.
Who am I? Where am I? Her mind was blank...
Wait, this room is...
She shot upright in bed, scanning her surroundings.
This was Ou Jue’s room!
Aaaaahhh! What happened last night?!
Where was that guy Ou Jue?!
Her panicked gaze darted around, finally landing on the sticky note at the bedside.
There were words written on it?
She leaned closer—
