Chapter 771: Late-night Phone Call

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Fortunately, Xian Yu bought real fruit wine this time and didn’t make any mistakes.

There would be a time when the barbecue would be finished. It could only be said that Murong Qiao, who was fed by Huo Yichen at all times and couldn’t even spare time to chat, was really stuffed this time.

The dark night with no stars and the cold night wind that woke people up became the only scenery at this moment.m

The residual warmth of the charcoal fire didn’t make one feel too cold. They sat around the long table. Before Murong Qiao could say anything, she had an additional coat on her.

“Be careful not to catch a cold,” Huo Yichen said softly.

No matter how healthy a body was, it needed to be taken good care of, let alone now that it was the season change. If one was not careful, they would fall sick.

The meat skewers in her hand had already been replaced with fruits.

“I’m done eating.” Yan Xiu was the first to suggest leaving.

With that, he stood up and prepared to go back. Perhaps it was because he had drunk the fruit wine, but his face looked a little red under the light of the night.

Seeing him like this, Murong Chuan stood up together. “Let’s go together.”

His body was not suitable to eat too much. It was rare for him to have an appetite at tonight’s barbecue, but someone teased him that he was eating less than normal.

However, Murong Zheng was watching from the side. No matter what, Murong Chuan couldn’t go overboard.

“Yan Xiu, are you drunk…” Xian Yu shouted as he watched the two of them disappear behind the door.

When Murong Qiao heard him say this, she looked at him curiously.

Xian Yu mercilessly exposed Yan Xiu’s background. “He has no resistance to alcohol at all.”

Perhaps God was not very fair. Some people’s tables were like a battlefield. A thousand cups could be considered a legend, but some people’s faces were red and their hearts were beating like drums even though they were only slightly stained with alcohol.

Yan Xiu happened to be the latter. This was also one of the main reasons why he hated socializing.

Drinking was always inevitable. Other than when he was young and didn’t know how to refuse. After making a fool of himself once, Yan Xiu directly cut off most of his contact with the outside world.

But today was an exception.

“How do you feel?” After leaving, Murong Chuan sent Yan Xiu to the door of his room worriedly.

Yan Xiu took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. “I’m fine.”

If he hadn’t turned so red, this statement would have been more convincing.

“Then I’ll go back first.” Murong Chuan saw that Yan Xiu didn’t seem to be the kind of person who would make a fuss, so he reminded him and turned to return to his room.

After all, he lived around the corner of Yan Xiu. If he really caused a commotion, he would be able to pay attention.

Yan Xiu took a deep breath and nodded. After watching Murong Chuan’s back disappear around the corner of the corridor, he finally raised his hand slowly and pushed open the door to walk in.

The room was still in the same state as when Yan Xiu left. The uninspired manuscript was quietly placed on the table, showing an unfinished state.

In the dark night, Yan Xiu didn’t choose to turn on the light above his head.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands controlled him to the table. After looking at the manuscript silently for a long time, he suddenly sat down.

Perhaps the alcohol had opened the floodgate of inspiration for no reason, causing Yan Xiu’s hand to suddenly tingle.

He took out his phone to look for some information, but the interface was still maintained from his chat with Shen Xi.

Due to the slight double image in his eyes, the fingertip that was meant to tap on the exit button directly clicked on the voice call.

Seeing the screen turn black and the call pattern appear, Yan Xiu frowned in frustration and realized that he had pressed the wrong button. Just as he was about to cancel it, it was answered.

“…Yan Xiu?” Shen Xi’s weak voice came from the other end, as if she was still a little sleepy.

Shen Xi, who had always been in poor health, also slept very early, but she slept lightly most of the time. Not long after she closed her eyes, her cell phone rang.

That was the special ringtone she had secretly set for Yan Xiu on the day she added the other party’s contact information.

However, Shen Xi didn’t expect it to appear at this time. She almost instinctively rejected the call. In the end, when she opened her eyes and realized that the name on the screen was Yan Xiu, she was stunned for a long time.

It was difficult to hang up now.

Hearing Shen Xi’s voice, Yan Xiu’s fingertips, which were about to end the call, paused in midair. He began to frown and think hard about how to end this sudden call.

God knew how difficult it was for him to think of a reason.

“Yan Xiu?” Seeing that there was no response, Shen Xi subconsciously called out to the other party again.

Yan Xiu could only say, “Yes.”

“Aren’t you… at home? You’re still awake so late,” Shen Xi said softly.

Yan Xiu pursed his lips, but he couldn’t let the topic remain here, so he could only turn his gaze to the manuscript beside him.

“I don’t have any inspiration,” he replied simply.

In any case, when he didn’t have any inspiration in the past, he didn’t have any concept of time. Yan Xiu’s answer was without any psychological pressure.

At this moment, Murong Qiao, who was still sitting in the backyard, glanced upstairs as if she sensed something. Then, she looked at Xian Yu, who was still energetic beside her, and hooked Huo Yichen’s palm under the table.

“Huh?” Huo Yichen looked at her immediately.

Murong Qiao held his hand and secretly leaned over to whisper into his ear when no one was paying attention. “Are we leaving too?”

She didn’t want to be a third wheel for An Nuo and her Big Brother.

Although she didn’t know if there was still anything going on, looking at Murong Chen’s attitude towards An Nuo so far, Murong Qiao felt that there was an 80% chance that she could succeed.

When Huo Yichen saw this, he looked at the time. It was already past 12 p.m. and it was time to sleep. Moreover, he had to go back early tomorrow. It was always better to sleep early.

“Big Brother, we’ll go up first.” Murong Qiao stood up.

She held Huo Yichen’s hand and walked away without hesitation. An Nuo, who was originally hesitating about whether to go with her, didn’t even have the chance to speak.

Fortunately, Murong Chen added, “Are you familiar with the guest room? I’ll take you there.”

This was the first time An Nuo had come to the Murong Residence to stay overnight.

Although she really wanted to say that she should be able to find it alone, and it was not a big problem, when she met Murong Chen’s gaze, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

An Nuo shook her head. “Uncle Yang doesn’t seem to have told me yet.”

“Go and rest first. Leave the rest to me.” Murong Zheng, who had been silent all this while, took the initiative to take over the rest.

The more Xian Yu played, the more energetic he became. Uncle Yang had to rest early since he was old. Seeing that Murong Chen was planning to bring An Nuo to the guest room, Murong Zheng really had the self-awareness of a Big Brother.

After all, he still had some things to deal with, so it didn’t matter if he waited with Xian Yu.

Thinking that their youngest brother would still act rashly from time to time, Murong Chen and Murong Zheng exchanged glances.

Xian Yu didn’t know that he had become a brat in their hearts and was even actively singing at this moment.

It was difficult to say if his singing was out of tune. It was probably because his foundation was solid or because of his talent, so even if he hummed casually, it was not unpleasant.

“It’s hard to imagine what Fifth Brother’s future girlfriend will be like.” Murong Qiao listened to Xian Yu’s singing and couldn’t help but smile.

After all, it was too hot from the barbecue just now. Before returning to her room, Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen to the balcony on the second floor of her room to enjoy the breeze.

Her balcony was the best vantage point in the house. Standing on the semi-circular platform and looking out, she could almost see the entire rose garden.

It was so hot that it almost burned one’s vision. It was suffocatingly beautiful..
