Tang Wanâs hand was held by him. Perhaps because of drinking, his palm was warm and the grip wasnât tight, just enough to make it hard to break free.
âFifth Master, please slow down.â Tang Wan couldnât shake him off at the moment; besides, for a drunk person, he probably didnât even know what he was doing.
âLetâs go back.â
His voice was always gentle, but now it carried the sour-sweetness of plum wine, and even his breath felt warm.
Tang Wan, after all, was a woman; no matter how strong, she found it difficult to support a drunken adult man by herself, so she kept glancing at the Jiang Family members beside her,
signaling them to come help.
The usually perceptive group of rough men collectively pretended to be dead.
Just as Tang Wan was about to speak, the group suddenly busied themselves.
âTime to go back to the room, right? Iâll go prepare the bed first.â
âI think the master needs a bowl of hangover tea.â
âThen Iâll pour him a glass of water; heâll definitely be thirsty later.â
â¦
In just two seconds, they were all gone.
Tang Wan was amused and exasperated. This group really trusted her with Jiang Jinsang. Werenât they afraid sheâd take advantage of him?
What if they encountered a female rogue whoâd take full advantage of him? These people were really irresponsible.
*
Although Jiang Jinsang had drunk a lot, he didnât act drunk or do anything reckless, he just held her hand and refused to let go.
The first time she saw his hand, Tang Wan thought it was exceptionally beautiful, with long, slender fingers and a cold white skin, and now, as he gently held her hand, his palm felt warm and dry.
The plum wine aroma on him overwhelmed the smell of disinfectant, and now his cold white skin was tinged with a bit of red.
Like March sea bream, after the rain, a burning color.
Beautiful things are loved by everyone, and the man before her possessed both an exceptional appearance and bone structure, impeccable in every way.
Being held by him, without any reaction, would be a lie.
Finally, they reached the East Courtyard, and Tang Wan led him back to her room.
Since Jiang Jinsang moved in, it was the first time Tang Wan stepped into this room. It was her courtyard. In fact, she picked all the furniture pieces here, yet now his belongings occupied every corner.
Somehow blending perfectly with hers, complementing each other so well that anyone who didnât know might think this placeâ¦
Was originally his.
Tang Wan led him to the bedside, âFifth Master, here we are, please rest first.â
Jiang Jinsang was in poor health; from childhood to adulthood, the number of times heâd drunk was rare. For someone who never touched alcohol, getting drunk was too easy.
He only felt dizzy now, everything before him was spinning, even Tang Wanâs face was blurry, only the hands he held⦠Were real.
âFifth Master, Iâm leaving.â Tang Wan exerted a bit of force to try to break free.
But Jiang Jinsang suddenly thought of how she looked when she went out this morning in that fitted business outfit, feeling a bit tight in his chest.
Moreover, she was now trying to withdraw her hand. He grew tense inside and slightly increased his graspâ¦
Unexpectedly!
Tang Wan stumbled, falling into his arms, unable to move.
The Jiang Family members on the side were dumbfounded.
What on earth?
Was the next scene going to be inappropriate for children?
Should they leave to avoid suspicion?
âFifth Masterââ Tang Wan frowned.
This overly intimate move set off alarm bells in her heart.
Just as she struggled, she heard a voice by her ear.
He had truly drunk too much, couldnât muster strength, and even his voice was feeble, gaining a layer of hoarseness because of it. Leaning close to her ear, he murmured her nameâ¦
âWanwan.â
Like a cicada in late autumn, seemingly using its last bit of strength, voicing a desperate call.
Suddenly startled like a bolt of electricity.
Calm and composed as she was, at this moment, she couldnât help but lose her composure a bit.
But Jiang Jinsang had drunk a lot after all, and soon lay down on the bed-laying next to her, holding her hand, never once loosening his grip.
With no other choice, Tang Wan sat by the bed, feeling a bit bored, even asking the Jiang Family members to fetch a few books from the study to pass the time.
Only after her arm became numb and he was sound asleep did she finally have the opportunity to pull her hand free.
Her hand, held by him, had been very warm; as she walked out of the room into the chill of autumn, her heart was still warm.
Tang Wan took a deep breath⦠One call of âWanwanâ could utterly melt oneâs heart.
**
Jiang Jinsang rarely got drunk, and his usual sleep wasnât good, yet this time heâd slept exceptionally well, waking only at dusk.
His head ached terribly, supporting himself up, feeling parched. As he caught sight of the water cup on the bedside table, just as he was about to reach for it, he noticed the books on the nightstandâ¦
âMaster, youâre awake, Iâll get you a fresh glass of water.â The Jiang Family members immediately bustled about.
âThisâ¦â Jiang Jinsang genuinely couldnât remember clearly.
âThese belong to Miss Tang.â
âHers?â
The Jiang Family members then explained the situation briefly.
They didnât hold back on describing how someone shamelessly held her hand and refused to let go. In short,
she wasnât brought into your room by us; it was you who, after drinking too much, insistently held onto the little girlâs hand.
Though you didnât lose your senses, you did take advantage.
Three words summarize it: Shameless!
Jiang Jinsang drank water to soothe his throat, and after hearing them out, he just casually said, âDrank too much, canât remember.â
The Jiang Family members seemed unsurprised by this; after all,
someone wasnât newly notorious for such behavior!
â¦
A knock sounded from the outside, the Jiang Family members hurried to open the door, and from Tang Wanâs angle, she couldnât see Jiang Jinsang sitting on the bed as she spoke in a hushed voice, âFifth Master awake yet? Itâs almost time for dinner.â
âMm.â
âIâm just here to inform you, dinner is at six.â Tang Wan didnât step inside, leaving immediately.
**
Tang Wan was a mess inside; she was absent-minded even while preparing dinner, almost injuring herself, leading Chen Ma to tell her to wait in the courtyard.
When Jiang Jinsang reached the front hall, he saw she was holding a small stick, poking atâ¦
âHua Meiâ
The bird was chirping âchirp chirpââ under her pokes, while she seemed oblivious, not hearing it at all.
During dinner, the old master was unusually quiet. He secretly drank and encouraged Jiang Jinsang to join him. Now, he acted timid around Tang Wan, using a headache as an excuse to return to his room right after eating.
Since Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang lived in the same courtyard, they couldnât avoid returning together.
Walking shoulder to shoulder, Tang Wan still felt a bit uneasy.
âMiss Tang, Iâm sorry for the trouble before.â Jiang Jinsang spoke first.
âItâs okay.â
âThey mentioned⦠I might have called your name, and thatâs why you stayed?â
Might have?
Tang Wan chuckled softly; he had called it quite clearly, recalling it now even made her ears warm.
Besides, she hadnât stayed willingly!
âThese past few days Iâve been contemplating our familiesâ marriage, with thoughts filling my mind, unintentionally calling your name, perhaps because recentlyâ¦â
âYouâve been all I think about.â
His voice was gentle, carried by the autumn breeze that slowly blew, making Tang Wan feelâ¦
Her heart began to lose its rhythm again.
The Jiang Family members followed behind, looking up at the sky:
Their masterâs bold move was astonishingly bold to the point itâd break a leg- câmon!
My goodness, the less seen, the less magical!
