"Alright, no more drinking!" Ouyang Siqing pushed the potent liquor aside.
He wasn't an idiot; he could tell Qin Yun wasn't right at the moment.
She must have been thinking of something sad.
"Why won't you let me drink? Didn't we agree I could get drunk once?" Qin Yun coughed, "Ahem, ahem!"
The strong liquor had burned her throat, and she felt severely unwell.
Ouyang Siqing patted Qin Yun's back. "If you can't drink, don't force yourself."
"Who knew this wine would taste so awful!" Qin Yun pouted unhappily.
"If you really want to drink, have some fruit wine. It won't be as uncomfortable," Ouyang Siqing poured Qin Yun half a cup of fruit wine.
Qin Yun took the fruit wine and tasted it, then frowned.
"What? Is it not good?"
"What kind of fruit wine is this? What's it called?" Qin Yun's expression was a little grim. Her taste buds were usually very accurate, and this fruit wine tasted exactly like Gui Xiang from Qin Ji Winery!
"I think it's called Chun Yue," Ouyang Siqing said softly.
Qin Yun narrowed her eyes and tried the fruit wine again.
This time, she was very sure. Chun Yue tasted identical to Gui Xiang!
Who was the person behind Ming Yue Wine House? How did they have Qin Ji Winery's secret fruit wine recipe?
This wine house needed a thorough investigation.
It seemed coming to Ming Yue Wine House today was the right decision. She had found something suspicious again.
Perhaps it was the strong liquor she'd had earlier. The after-effects were hitting hard.
Qin Yun sat on the wooden stool, holding her forehead.
The body's tolerance for alcohol was truly poor. One cup and she was done for.
"Yun'er, let's stop drinking. I'll take you back."
She had intended to get Ouyang Siqing drunk, but instead, she was the one who couldn't hold her liquor. How embarrassing!
"Alright! Let's go back!" Qin Yun staggered to her feet.
She decided then and there that she would have Qingshan buy a sample of all the wine from Ming Yue Wine House.
She absolutely had to get to the bottom of this.
Seeing that Qin Yun couldn't even stand steady, Ouyang Siqing quickly supported her.
Thus, Ouyang Siqing supported Qin Yun as they left Ming Yue Wine House.
After entering the carriage!
Due to the effects of the wine, Qin Yun's face was flushed red.

Looking at Ouyang Siqing in front of her, who was taking such meticulous care of her, Qin Yun suddenly felt a surge of courage.
She pushed Ouyang Siqing down and looked down at him from above.
With a smile on her lips, her voice hazy with drink, she said, "Siqing, you're so handsome."
Ouyang Siqing tried to get up, but Qin Yun held him down firmly. He simply lay there and didn't move.
He knew Qin Yun was drunk, so there was no point arguing with someone intoxicated.
"Siqing, you're so cute; I bet many people like you?" Qin Yun reached out a finger and traced Ouyang Siqing's face.
"Yun'er, you're drunk. Could you please get up?"
"I'm not drunk at all! I just want to look at you more. Isn't it nice for us to just be like this on such a beautiful night?"
"Okay, okay, but you have to let me get up."
Who would have thought... As soon as Ouyang Siqing finished speaking, Qin Yun lowered her head and kissed his lips!
Ouyang Siqing was stunned!
He had been kissed by a man!
It actually felt quite good, at least he didn't feel disgusted.
Sensing something was wrong, Ouyang Siqing immediately pushed Qin Yun away and quickly sat up straight.
At this moment, Ouyang Siqing's face was flushed red, and he looked slightly embarrassed.
Rumor had it that Qin Yun was a "cut sleeve" (a term for homosexuality). Did she really like men?
Had he been taken a liking to by Qin Yun?
Did she kiss others like this too?
Thinking this, Ouyang Siqing became unhappy.
"Yun'er, have you kissed other men like this too?" Ouyang Siqing didn't realize his tone had become a little low, with a hint of jealousy in his words.
He should have berated Qin Yun or even punched her a couple of times, but he didn't. Because he hadn't disliked the feeling just now; in fact, he had felt a trace of liking for it.
It was precisely because he had a feeling that he felt it was inappropriate. Two men behaving like this was really unseemly.
"Yun'er? Yun'er?" Ouyang Siqing called out to Qin Yun, who had her back to him, for a long time without receiving a response.
He turned around.
At this moment, Qin Yun had fallen asleep at some unknown time.
Ouyang Siqing held his forehead, his face covered in black lines.
After all his internal struggle, the person had just fallen asleep.
Sighing, he shook his head and took off his outer robe, covering Qin Yun with it.
He looked at Qin Yun's sleeping face. Ouyang Siqing frowned slightly.
She looked so petite.
What had she gone through? She seemed so distressed tonight.
He lowered his head, and Ouyang Siqing's face blushed again.
He touched his lips, which Qin Yun had just kissed, and his heart began to race.
Did Qin Yun like him?
If... if only she were a woman!
Unfortunately, they were destined to have no outcome.
Ouyang Siqing shook his head, dispelling the inappropriate emotions from his mind.
Perhaps he was also drunk.
To have such inappropriate thoughts.
The night wind seemed to be stronger than usual.
Ouyang Siqing couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Ouyang Siqing softly asked, "What's happening? Why have we stopped?"
The coachman trembled. "Young Master Ouyang, there are... assassins in black."
Assassins in black!
Ouyang Siqing frowned slightly, glanced at the sleeping Qin Yun, and then stepped out of the carriage.
Outside the carriage!
A row of figures in black blocked their path.
Each of them was masked, holding large sabers, their expressions fierce and menacing.
"Who are you people? I have no quarrel with any of you. What is the meaning of this?" Ouyang Siqing opened his fan, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.
The leader of the black-clad figures said fiercely, "If you know what's good for you, hand over that good-for-nothing from the Qin family, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? A massacre?" Ouyang Siqing curled his lips into a slight smile.
"What? You want to protect that brat?" The leader of the black-clad figures drew his saber and pointed it at Ouyang Siqing, his expression defiant.
"I will protect Qin Yun. If you want to target her, you'll have to get past me first!"
"So, there's no room for negotiation? Brothers, attack!"
Soon, Ouyang Siqing was locked in combat with the black-clad figures.
At first, Ouyang Siqing could handle them, but after the leader of the black-clad figures joined the fray, Ouyang Siqing clearly struggled to cope.
As the fight progressed, Ouyang Siqing found himself more and more strained.
His martial arts skills were not very good; he could barely protect himself. Now, he also had to divide his attention to protect Qin Yun, and with the sheer numbers against him, he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
In the shadows!
Qingshan and Hong Fu exchanged a glance.
Confirming that Ouyang Siqing was indeed on the verge of being overwhelmed, they then donned their veils and moved to assist.
Seeing a man and a woman suddenly appear and injure the black-clad figures, Ouyang Siqing finally got a moment to breathe.
With the addition of Qingshan and Hong Fu, the black-clad figures were clearly at a disadvantage.
Sensing the unfavorable turn of events, the leader of the black-clad figures shouted, "Retreat! Quick, retreat!"
But Qingshan and Hong Fu would not give these people a chance. With a few swift moves, they took down the fleeing black-clad figures.
With a slash to the throat, all of them met their end on the spot.
Seeing this situation, the leader of the black-clad figures immediately knelt and kowtowed, "Two heroes, spare my life! This subordinate was merely taking money for services rendered! I beg of you, show mercy!"
