Chapter 21: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
Yan Chen helped Yun Qing straighten her slightly disheveled clothes, then got up and left.
Yun Qing quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
Yan Chen didn't turn his head, and said coldly, "I'll make you some porridge!"
Yun Qing got up from the sofa, wanting to follow, but she lost her balance and suddenly swayed. Instinctively, she reached out and braced herself on the coffee table, knocking over the fruit plate on it.
Hearing the noise, Yan Chen turned around and almost broke out in a cold sweat. There was a fruit knife in the fruit plate. If Yun Qing had just pressed it on...
He quickly went over and hugged her, wanting to get angry, but when he met Yun Qing's pitiful eyes, he had no choice but to hold back.
"What are you trying to do instead of lying down properly?"
Yun Qing clung to his clothes, insisting, "I want to be with you."
Yan Chen didn't dare leave her alone any longer, so he put away the fruit knife and then took Yun Qing into the kitchen.
"Be good and don't move around."
Yun Qing nodded, wrapped her arms around his waist, and stood leaning against him, looking very obedient.
Yan Chen sighed, holding the person in one arm while working with the other, slowly starting to cook the porridge.
Worried that Yunqing was very hungry, he took some grapes and washed them.
Then he took Yunqing back to the living room and let her fill her stomach first.
As a result, Yun Qing stared at a grape for a long time without moving it.
Yan Chen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Don't you want to eat?"
Yun Qing turned to look at him, and said with a particularly aggrieved expression, "You're cheeky."
Yan Chen silently took the grapes from her hand and resignedly peeled them for her.
Finally, Yun Qing ate happily and hugged his arm, saying sweet words, "Yan Chen, you are so good, I like you the most."
Yan Chen sneered, "Hypocritical."
Yun Qing refused to listen and got up to look for something. Yan Chen helped her up and asked with a headache, "What are you looking for?"
Where is my incense?
What smells?
"The incense for our sworn brotherhood! I'm not being fake; I've made up my mind. I want to become sworn brothers with you, and from now on we'll be siblings even though we're not from the same father!"
Yan Chen: ...Is this how much you like me?
He firmly refused, saying, "No!"
"why?"
Yun Qing looked at him with a puzzled expression, then, as if she had thought of something, her face suddenly darkened, and she said angrily, "Yan Chen, do you look down on me? Don't you?"
"No."
"You don't need to say anything more, you just look down on me! You think I'm poor! So what if I'm poor? I may not have money, but I have..."
She pondered for a while, then clapped her hands excitedly and exclaimed, "I have backbone!"
"How dare you look down on me? Do you think I only want to become sworn brothers with you for money? My pride will not allow me to be insulted like this."
As she spoke, Yun Qing flung Yan Chen's hand away and staggered toward the French windows.
Yan Chen followed and helped her up, asking wearily, "What are you planning to do now?"
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated; I will die to prove my loyalty!"
Yan Chen's temples throbbed.
Yun Qing had already run to the French windows, wanting to jump out, but she was blocked and couldn't jump out.
She reached out and pried at the floor-to-ceiling window glass in front of her for a while, then exclaimed in shock, "There's actually a barrier here!"
She turned her head and glared at Yan Chen with a face full of grief and indignation, "You are so cruel! You actually want to imprison me here for eternity, making me wish I were dead!"
Yan Chen: ...I need to have that ability too!
After her initial anger subsided, Yun Qing quickly resigned herself to her fate. She clung to Yan Chen's arm, pleading pitifully, "Imprisonment isn't out of the question, but can you provide meals? Can I order food?"
Yan Chen: ...Is this your backbone?
"If you behave, you'll get all the meals."
In order to be provided with food, Yun Qing actually behaved herself for quite a while.
Finally, after finishing the cooked porridge, they started making a ruckus again.
Watching Yun Qing wield the remote control like a divine sword, declaring her intention to cultivate diligently and break through the barrier, Yan Chen propped his forehead up and asked weakly, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing suddenly realized something, clutching her chest with a shocked and pained expression. Her finger trembled as she pointed at him and questioned, "You poisoned me, didn't you?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Yan Chen simply picked the person up, carried them into the bedroom, and then threw them onto the bed.
Yun Qing lay on the bed, clutching her chest, and asked weakly, "Did you really poison me?"
Yan Chen said in a serious tone, "Yes, the poison is taking effect now, and you should have passed out."
Yun Qing blinked, and then actually obediently closed her eyes.
Yan Chen listened to her breathing becoming more and more even, and only after confirming that she had fallen asleep did he breathe a sigh of relief, feeling utterly exhausted.
He sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his temples. He truly felt that neither the old man, Yan Xiu, nor Lu Miaomiao were anything special; none of them combined could match the destructive power of this drunken cat.
When Yun Qing woke up the next morning, she was surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings and her mind was full of questions.
[System, where am I?]
She remembered being harassed by Yan Chen's friends, drinking alcohol, and then what?
[Host, this is Yan Chen's house. You're drunk, so you must make sure Yan Chen takes you back to his house.]
Am I really that dedicated? Even when I'm drunk, I still remember to cling to Yan Chen?
System: ...I don't think you're very dedicated.
Yun Qing thought carefully for a moment and confirmed that she had blacked out and couldn't remember anything. She asked with some concern, "Did I do anything strange?"
Does being drunk and disorderly count?
Yun Qing: !!!
She asked nervously, "Did I break the plot? Is my character okay?"
[The plot didn't fall apart.]
The original intention was to pester Yan Chen, but Yan Chen is not cold-hearted at all, so you've really gotten entangled with him. That's his problem.
As for her character, even if Lu Yunqing herself were drunk, she might still act out, so it can't be considered a character breakdown.
Yun Qing felt relieved. She looked at the clear sky outside the window, still shaken. She knew she couldn't get drunk again, or she might accidentally get struck by lightning and die without even knowing why.
Yun Qing sat on the bed in a daze for a while before getting up and leaving the room.
Yan Chen was standing by the French windows in the living room, making a phone call.
Yun Qing watched his back and stood quietly for a while. Suddenly remembering her persona, she quickly went over and hugged him from behind.
Yan Chen paused for a moment, said a couple more words, then quickly hung up the phone and turned to look at her.
Seeing her tender and affectionate appearance, Yan Chen directly pulled her hand away and said coldly, "Go wash up and have breakfast. After you finish eating, leave quickly!"
That attitude was incredibly disdainful.
After saying that, she didn't give Yun Qing a chance to continue her performance and left directly, as if looking at her even once would hurt her eyes.
Yun Qing: ...Alright then.
As Yun Qing sat at the dining table, enjoying her delicious breakfast, she couldn't help but say to the system: "Yan Chen is actually so gentlemanly towards me, the villainous female supporting character?"
They even prepared toiletries and breakfast for her.
