Chu Qing casually hailed a taxi and rushed home from the hotpot restaurant.

He had just gotten out of the car downstairs when he saw a familiar figure in front of him. That person seemed to have drunk too much and was walking unsteadily.

That is…

Chu Qing massaged his throbbing head and regret washed over him. If he hadn’t intentionally desired to preserve some level of drunkenness, he could have easily expelled the alcohol from his system in an instant.

Chu Qing gently tapped his head, clearing his mind and becoming more alert. He closed his eyes and focused. Indeed, he could sense a faint spiritual aura emanating from the person in front of him.

Chu Qing shouted, “Chu Xiao!”

The figure in front was shocked. She turned around and realized that it was Chu Qing.

“Wow, Little Qing. Why aren’t you home yet? This smell… Did you drink?”

Chu Xiao staggered towards Chu Qing, but her nose was still sensitive. From afar, she could smell the scent of alcohol on him.

“Didn’t you drink too?”

Chu Qing waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

Before Chu Qing could say anything else, he burped.

Chu Xiao burst into laughter and playfully wrapped her arms around Chu Qing’s shoulder, unintentionally brushing her chest against his arm. Chu Qing was caught off guard, and an instinctive reaction surfaced within him.

“I-l’m different. I’m your Sis… Look, I caught you red-handed this time.”

Chu Xiao smiled and pinched Chu Qing’s face. Chu Qing trembled under the cold wind and only then did he wake up slightly. He activated his spiritual power, but his entire body was a little weak. The last six bottles of white wine had completely dissipated from his body. It would take a few minutes to force it out.

“Alright, Sis, let’s go home.”

Chu Qing hugged Chu Xiao’s slender waist and couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

“This is my Sis… This is my Sis…”

Chu Qing repeated the four words silently in his mind, trying to maintain composure. Fortunately, Chu Xiao didn’t make any bold moves. She simply rested on Chu Qing’s shoulder, seemingly unconscious. However, her supple breasts unintentionally challenged Chu Qing’s psychological defenses, stirring up a mix of emotions within him.

After supporting Chu Xiao upstairs, Chu Qing tiptoed to open her door with the key. After carefully listening to the breathing in the next room for a long time, Chu Qing confirmed that his parents were still sleeping soundly and had not woken up.

Finally, Chu Qing exhaled deeply, relieving the tension that had built up within him. He carefully lifted Chu Xiao, whom he had carelessly left outside the stairwell, and carried her inside.

If Chu Xiao were to return at this moment, it likely wouldn’t cause significant issues as her parents had become accustomed to her late-night absences. However, if Chu Qing were to arrive home this late, it would certainly be a serious matter. He would probably face a lengthy interrogation throughout the night.

Moreover, it was probably impossible for Chu Qing to sneak out in the future. When the time came, his parents would often come to check on him.

“Water. 1 want to drink water…”

Chu Xiao called out in a daze. Chu Qing hurriedly comforted her to prevent her from making too much noise.

Chu Qing carefully carried Chu Xiao back to her room, but to his surprise, she suddenly regained her strength and pushed him onto the bed. Startled, he let out a strange cry, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events.

“Water… water…”

Chu Xiao muttered and kept searching for water on Chu Qing.

Chu Qing secretly circulated the spiritual energy in his body before forcefully suppressing the distracting thoughts and getting up from the bed.

Chu Xiao was like an octopus, wanting to stick to Chu Qing.

“Be good. I’ll get you some water.”

Chu Qing caressed Chu Xiao’s head. Only then did Chu Xiao settle down. She was still mumbling drunken nonsense.

Chu Qing smiled bitterly and went to pour a glass of water for Chu Xiao. After she drank it, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Chu Qing was also extremely dizzy. He really couldn’t drink too much wine.

After taking good care of Chu Xiao, Chu Qing returned to his room and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Chu Qing lay on the bed. The weather outside was already bright. It was about ten in the morning.

He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Usually, he rarely slept to replenish his strength. He did not expect to sleep for so long last night because of the alcohol he drank.

How sad…

Chu Qing shook his head and let his imagination run wild for a long time. Chen Huahua, Ye Chenxi, and Tang Ziyan were all people he could not bear to part with. There were also his parents and Chu Xiao…

Although they became a little strange because of the situation in this world, Chu Qing had already completely accepted them like this.

How vexing.

Chu Qing decided to stop thinking and got up!

Tonight, there would be a class reunion. However, before that, Chu Qing decided to go shopping and relax.

Chu Qing’s wardrobe was rather limited. He mainly wore his school uniform as it was his typical attire. Occasionally, when he went out at night, he would opt for casual sportswear or a pair of casual jeans. Fashion and dressing up were not his strong suits.

Chu Qing casually put on a few clothes and left. He didn’t know where his parents went, but they were probably already out. In other words, Chu Qing and Chu Xiao were the only ones in the room now.

For some reason, Chu Qing recalled the awkward scene last night. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and decided to go out quickly.

Squeak.

With a soft sound, Chu Xiao’s door opened. Chu Xiao stood there, scratching her messy hair. She was only wearing a bra. Chu Qing subconsciously looked at her chest and swallowed his saliva.

“Where are Mom and Dad?”

Chu Xiao walked out as if nothing had happened. She sat on the sofa and poured a glass of water.

However, Chu Qing couldn’t help but notice that Chu Xiao kept stealing glances at him from the corner of her eyes as if she harbored a sense of curiosity about something…

“Why are you acting so weird… Where did Mom and Dad go?”

Chu Qing was stunned. When Chu Xiao asked again, he finally reacted and stammered.

“1 don’t know about them either. 1 just woke up and saw that there was no one at home…”

“Oh…”

Chu Xiao was still drinking water, but her gaze was fixed on Chu Qing.

“I’m heading out first. 1 plan to go shopping today.”

Chu Qing chuckled and turned to leave.

“By the way, Little Qing, did you know that 1 drank too much last night?”

Chu Xiao suddenly stopped Chu Qing and asked nonchalantly.

Chu Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and he pondered to himself…

Whatever comes, will come!

“Last night? I don’t know. 1 went to bed when I got home last night. Did you go out again?”
