I thought she was about to lose her balance, but to my surprise, she turned around and gave me a bright smile.
Zeng Chenhua's hand was still in mid-air, but he was relieved to see that she had stood firm.
"I'm fine." Jiang Chaoyu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need help at all, and turned to walk towards the door.
Zeng Chenhua hurriedly followed, "Where are you going?"
I thought Jiang Chaoyu had sobered up, but standing in front of her and seeing her somewhat dazed look, I knew she was still drunk.
Jiang Chaoyu stopped when she saw Zeng Chenhua standing in front of her, tilted her head to look at him, and blinked her eyes in confusion. "I'll go back to my residence to rest."
Zeng Chenhua took Jiang Chaoyu's hand and walked towards the bed. After helping her sit down, he asked her, "Do you know what day it is today?"
It seemed like he was testing how drunk Jiang Chaoyu was. Normally, he would have let go of her hand, but today Jiang Chaoyu was very obedient and blinked her big eyes at him.
"have no idea."
Seeing that she was so drunk that she couldn't even remember the date, he didn't bother arguing with her.
Then he asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Chaoyu became very excited. "Of course I know, you are Zeng Chenhua." As she spoke, Jiang Chaoyu leaned towards Zeng Chenhua, resting her head on his shoulder.
"It's A-Chen." As if about to fall asleep, she whispered in Zeng Chenhua's ear, tickling him and making his pupils tighten for a moment, a little excited.
What did you call me?
Zeng Chenhua looked at Jiang Chaoyu, but saw that her eyes were closed, which meant that the alcohol was too strong and she was drunk.
By this time, the drunk had already fallen asleep, leaving only the sober ones in a state of intoxication.
Zeng Chenhua held Jiang Chaoyu's hand back, finally feeling the reality of having someone beside him. He hugged Jiang Chaoyu tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head. Only at this moment did he truly wake up from the nightmare he had just experienced.
He carefully laid her down, tucked the blanket around her, and then went out to prepare a hangover soup for her.
If I don't drink it today, I'll definitely have a headache tomorrow.
"Master, it's so late, what are you doing?" Yam hadn't eaten all day, and since it was late, she thought there was no one else in the kitchen, so she sneaked in, but she didn't expect to run into her master.
Zeng Chenhua was preparing to cook a hangover soup when he saw Shanyao appear beside him and thought that her medicine must be even better.
"I need a bowl of hangover soup."
They didn't say why, but I suppose it was for the sake of the prince's wife.
"Cook it right away." Just like that, the yam, which was originally going to the kitchen to steal some food, ended up being tasked with cooking hangover soup.
As she watched her mistress carefully carrying the bowl of hangover soup, Yam wondered how the princess had gotten so drunk. However, the rumbling of her stomach brought her back to reality. She looked around to make sure no one was watching before taking the pastries away.
"Ayu, Ayu. Wake up!"
Seeing Jiang Chaoyu sleeping soundly, Zeng Chenhua couldn't bear to disturb her. However, if he didn't drink the hangover soup, he would have a headache the next day, and that would be the real pain.
Jiang Chaoyu gurgled, opened her eyes slightly, then turned away and closed them again to continue sleeping.
Zeng Chenhua was still pushing Jiang Chaoyu's arm, trying to wake her up. Jiang Chaoyu brushed Zeng Chenhua's hand away and rolled into the depths of the bed, wrapped in the summer quilt.
Seeing this, Zeng Chenhua put the hangover soup on the table, then knelt on one knee on the bed and went towards Jiang Chaoyu. He pulled the summer quilt and pulled Jiang Chaoyu out, which finally woke her up.
However, Jiang Chaoyu was a bit grumpy when she woke up. Her brows were furrowed, and she half-opened her eyes to look at Zeng Chenhua, who had disturbed her sweet dreams. She was still not fully awake.
"Ah Yu, get up and have some hangover soup."
Jiang Chaoyu didn't hear clearly, only that he got up, and then angrily said, "No."
Zeng Chenhua had no choice but to pick up Jiang Chaoyu along with the quilt with both hands. Jiang Chaoyu hadn't had time to react yet, so she could only wrap her arms around Zeng Chenhua's neck. Gradually, her consciousness returned, and she saw the person in front of her clearly.
"Second Prince, what are you doing?"
Hearing Jiang Chaoyu say this, he knew that she was now awake and felt like teasing her.
What do you think?
On their wedding night, the bride fell asleep. What a joke that would be if word got out! Was the ceremony about to begin? But Zeng Chenhua carried her off the bed. "I don't know."
Jiang Chaoyu really didn't know what he wanted to do, so she could only let him hug her. She was a little tired and weak after waking up, and all her strength was leaning on Zeng Chenhua.
He strode quickly to the table and sat down with Jiang Chaoyu in his arms.
Jiang Chaoyu noticed a bowl of very dark water on the table as he moved, and it smelled rather pungent.
"On your wedding day, you're not going to poison your bride, are you?" She looked at Zeng Chenhua with disbelief in her eyes and refused when he brought the bowl to her lips. She leaned back unconsciously, not even realizing that she was already completely in Zeng Chenhua's arms.
"How could that be?" Hearing Jiang Chaoyu's words amused Zeng Chenhua, a smile playing on his lips and eyes full of love as he looked at Jiang Chaoyu in his arms, noticing that she had lost her usual vigilance and become more lively.
"This is a hangover remedy; if you don't drink it, you'll definitely have a headache tomorrow."
Only after hearing this did Jiang Chaoyu understand. Without waiting for Zeng Chenhua to feed her, she grabbed the bowl and gulped it down in one go.
Zeng Chenhua hadn't expected Jiang Chaoyu to be so decisive, but seeing her face all scrunched up, he quickly brought her some pastries from the table.
"It's so spicy."
I felt better after eating the pastries.
But after finishing the meal, she realized she was still in Zeng Chenhua's arms, so she immediately stood up, and the summer blanket fell to the ground.
"I want to wash up."
To avoid the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Chaoyu directly said that she had fallen asleep because she was drunk, but now she felt a bit smelly and wanted to change out of her clothes so she could have a good sleep.
"Okay, I'll go prepare it for you."
After he left, Jiang Chaoyu felt a little better. She hadn't noticed anything before. She tapped her head, annoyed that she had gotten drunk. She wondered if she had done anything wrong while she was drunk.
I paced back and forth in the room, the more I thought about it, the less I could recall; at that moment, not a single memory came to mind.
It seems I should ask Cuicui tomorrow; there shouldn't be anything embarrassing about it.
"Alright." Zeng Chenhua's voice interrupted Jiang Chaoyu's thoughts; everything was ready for her.
"good."
Even after changing and getting into bed, Jiang Chaoyu was still thinking.
It's just that one day there was suddenly someone next to me, and I'm not used to it. I don't know what my sleeping posture is like. I should be very proper.
Jiang Chaoyu pulled the summer quilt further into the bed, but Zeng Chenhua noticed this action.
"If you move it any further, I won't have any blankets left." This was true. There were originally two summer blankets, but one of them had just gotten dusty, and now there was only this one left.
Hearing this, Jiang Chaoyu moved a little closer to Zeng Chenhua, but there was enough space in between for another person to sleep.
Jiang Chaoyu closed her eyes tightly, pretending to be asleep, but she couldn't pretend to be asleep when she had something on her mind.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Chaoyu still felt it was better to ask, "Um, when I was drunk, did I do anything inappropriate?"
Hearing Jiang Chaoyu mention that, Zeng Chenhua became somewhat unhappy. "Which one is that?"
“Second Prince, that is…” Zeng Chenhua interrupted her, “Now that we are married, you don’t need to call me that.”
"Oh, my husband, did I do anything inappropriate while I was drunk?" It's just a form of address, what's wrong with calling me that?
This shout made Zeng Chenhua a little shy; he pursed his lips to hide his joy.
"You really don't know?"
"I don't know." What should she know? If she knew, why would she ask him?
Hearing Jiang Chaoyu say she didn't know, Zeng Chenhua had a good idea: "When you're drunk, you have to make me drink. If I don't drink, you kiss me."
"!!!!!!!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaoyu froze, her pupils dilated, and she gripped the corner of the summer quilt, her mind racing, wondering if she had really been so bold.
"Is this really true..." Zeng Chenhua said, sounding somewhat unsure of himself. He didn't seem like the type to joke about this kind of thing.
Hearing Jiang Chaoyu's trembling voice, it was as if she herself was shocked.
"It's fake, you didn't do anything." He hadn't done anything; he had only called the name and yet disturbed someone's peace of mind.
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Chaoyu's tense expression relaxed, but she immediately became furious at Zeng Chenhua's words, thinking how shameless it was to deceive a drunk person.
"To lie to a drunk person, that's shameless." Jiang Chaoyu pulled the summer blanket over her head, wrapped herself in it, and moved to the inside of the bed.
Zeng Chenhua felt a chill run down his spine as Jiang Chaoyu pulled the summer blanket away. Hearing her words, he realized she had gone too far.
She moved over as well, gently tugging at the corner of the blanket, "I was wrong."
“No, how could the Second Prince be wrong?” Jiang Chaoyu was polite and well-behaved when she was being polite, but she was also very good at being sarcastic when she was angry.
Hearing this, he must be angry.
"I was wrong to lie to you. I will never do it again. No, there will be no next time."
I gently poked Jiang Chaoyu's back with my finger, and the response was that she continued to move towards the inside of the bed.
The bed was big enough that it hadn't reached the wall even after moving it for a while. Hearing those words, Jiang Chaoyu's lips curled up.
"Go to sleep."
Jiang Chaoyu said that, but the night was still a little chilly, and if you didn't cover yourself with a summer blanket, you might still catch a cold.
After a while, Jiang Chaoyu heard Zeng Chenhua sneeze. She thought to herself that she should let it go and not hold a grudge. She generously covered him up.
In the darkness, she used the moonlight to see Zeng Chenhua's location, quietly moved over to cover him, and then went to sleep with her back to him.
"Ayu, have you forgiven me?"
Upon hearing this, instead of answering him directly, I simply said, "Go to sleep, don't catch a cold."
Actually, Zeng Chenhua was faking that sneeze. He knew his Ayu wouldn't bear to see him catch a cold.
"good!"
