In the room, Chu Mengyao, Zhao Shiyan, and Shen Yahut were drinking and singing.
Chu Mengyao was a bit restrained at first, after all, Ye Fan was just outside the room, and she didn’t want to lose her composure and act foolishly. She was always cold, but in front of a good sister like Zhao Shiyan, she felt relaxed and at ease.
Chu Mengyao and Shen Yahut trusted Ye Fan’s character and weren’t worried about being taken advantage of after getting drunk, so they had no concerns. Since Zhao Shiyan was in trouble and wanted to enjoy herself, the two girls could only accompany her.
The three girls also knew that Zhang Lu had responsibilities and couldn’t join their ranks. As for Ye Fan, who had to escort Chu Mengyao and Shen Yahut, he couldn’t join in their craziness either.
After a few drinks, Chu Mengyao also became lively, sitting gracefully and occasionally singing a song, while Shen Yahut and Zhao Shiyan were different—they were dancing and singing, all their motor cells in motion, wildly drinking and dancing without restraint.
Outside the room, Zhang Lu handed Ye Fan a bottle of water, glanced at the commotion caused by the three girls, and muttered, "Three kids who never grow up."
Ye Fan’s expression flickered, and he said enviously, "Who doesn’t have a childlike figure in their heart, longing to be cared for, loved, and cherished."
Zhang Lu’s gaze tightened. She suddenly realized that at this moment, Ye Fan seemed extremely lonely, a kind of loneliness that made people instinctively want to care for him. Ye Fan’s words resonated with her.
"Indeed, Chu Mengyao and Zhao Shiyan were originally two pure and lively girls. Drawn into the crisis, no matter how calm they appeared, the fear and helplessness in their hearts were definitely there." Zhang Lu murmured softly. In her eyes, the two girls were just girls, and compared to a battle-hardened woman like her, the girls’ hearts were much too fragile.
Two hours later, the three girls finally returned to calm, and no more activity came from the room.
Ye Fan and Zhang Lu entered the room where the three girls were. Chu Mengyao was lying on the sofa, her eyes blurry with drunkenness. Zhao Shiyan and Shen Yahut were also drunk, lying on the sofa.
The task of escorting Mengyao and Shen Yahut fell to Ye Fan.
He took the two of them to the car and then headed to the villa.
After a bit of effort, he finally helped the two into the villa.
Zhao Shiyan was handed over to Zhang Lu to take care of.
Fu Huixia was naturally Ye Fan’s responsibility to take away.
Mengyao threw up, and Ye Fan carefully tended to her afterward.
Ye Fan took a quick shower and tossed his clothes into the washing machine before coming to Chu Mengyao’s side.
"Water... water..." Chu Mengyao muttered incoherently.
Ye Fan fetched water and helped Chu Mengyao drink it, then got a wet towel to wipe away the dirt on Chu Mengyao’s body.
After a round of busywork, Ye Fan covered Chu Mengyao with a quilt.
He prepared some soup to relieve the hangover and, after it cooled, slowly fed a little to Chu Mengyao.
Drunk, Shen Yahut snored on the sofa, requiring no concern from Ye Fan; Chu Mengyao was the one who needed his careful attention.
On the bed, Chu Mengyao rolled and twisted restlessly. Ye Fan could only patiently keep tucking her under the quilt so she wouldn’t catch a cold.
Only after Chu Mengyao fell soundly asleep did Ye Fan turn off the lights and leave.
The next morning, Chu Mengyao slowly awoke. The first moment she opened her eyes, she found herself on her warm bed and instinctively made a lazy stretch. Then she suddenly sat up and remembered the event of drinking to a stupor with Zhao Shiyan.
"It must have been Ye Fan who brought me back." Chu Mengyao blushed, wondering and thinking, realizing her embarrassing drunken state, she couldn’t help but blush.
Chu Mengyao got dressed and went downstairs, finding Shen Yahut sitting at the table eating breakfast. Seeing Shen Yahut, she immediately understood—Shen Yahut must have been drunk too, and Ye Fan had brought her into the villa.
"Boss, come eat breakfast. Ye Fan’s cooking is amazing, even better than chefs. Every dish he made was delicious, boosting your appetite." Shen Yahut called out happily.
Seeing Chu Mengyao, Ye Fan served the breakfast he had prepared in advance and then asked, "You’re awake. The hangover’s gone?"
"Mm." Chu Mengyao responded and then sat down.
"Did you undress me?" Chu Mengyao leaned close to Shen Yahut’s ear, speaking very softly.
