"Thud!"
A loud crash echoed, and both fell to the ground simultaneously. However, as they watched each other fall, an air of relief washed over them, thinking that finally, he fell first! With that thought, they both passed out. Considering how much rice wine they drank, it was quite impressive to last this long.
Zhang Fu was quick to react, supporting Lin Tian and preventing him from hitting the ground. Zhang Fu then asked with a wry smile, "Madam, should I take the boss home or let him spend the night here at the young lady's place?"
Yan Shuiyue glanced at Lin Ruyu, noticing Lin Ruyu's hopeful look, and decisively said, "First, help Tian upstairs to the guest room, then come back and help Hao up to his room." Hearing these words, Lin Ruyu excitedly hugged Yan Shuiyue's neck and happily said, "Tonight, I want to sleep with you, Mom."
"Alright! Tonight, I'll keep you and Qing company. It's been a while since we had girly chats," Yan Shuiyue said, smiling warmly at her daughter.
"It's been a while since I had auntie to share secrets with too," Su Qing said excitedly, thinking about how her mom was always busy and rarely had time for her. Now, she could share the space with Mrs. Lin and seek a bit of her mother's presence.
Zhang Fu was swift. After helping Lin Tian upstairs, he came down to assist Ye Hao to Ye Hao's room. At this moment, Lin Ruyu fully considered Ye Hao as part of the family, because when Zhang Fu was carrying Ye Hao upstairs, Lin Ruyu had a minor complaint that Zhang Fu wasn't gentle enough.
Treating a drunk person like this...
After Zhang Fu settled Ye Hao, he picked up the phone to instruct a group of people to come over. However, each person was armed, although the weapons were hidden inside their suits. Their firearms were state-sanctioned, because Zhang Fu feared someone might target Lin Tian, so he arranged for people to guard him.
After all of Lin Ruyu's classmates left, they were startled seeing so many people standing at the door, dressed in imposing black attire. However, their curiosity about Lin Ruyu's father's identity only grew.
"What do you think Ruyu's dad does? So many bodyguards, and did you see that old guy, how fast he was?" Sun Xiaobing inquisitively asked.
"Her dad must be a super wealthy person, possibly richer than our families."
"That's hard to say. Even our family can arrange so many bodyguards, there's nothing to envy about that."
"Didn't you notice the bulge around the bodyguards' waists? Those are guns..."
This comment silenced the dismissive girls, because even their family's bodyguards weren't eligible to carry guns. Yet, many people around Lin Tian had the right to carry guns, making them think of international tycoons!
Because only international tycoons can apply for gun permits from the United Nations, or have a licensed armed squad. In Huaxia, which strictly prohibits firearms, anyone without a gun permit is breaking the law! Of course, one can apply for a gun permit in Huaxia, but this permit is only valid locally and not internationally.
However, a UN-issued gun permit is different; it can be said the weapons can be used in other countries and even carried around! But the UN's approval for individuals holding gun permits doesn't exceed fifty people, and even fewer armed squads are permitted.
Now, there are over thirty armed bodyguards outside Lin Tian's villa, making them even more curious about Lin Ruyu's father...
After Lin Ruyu's classmates left, she quickly joined her mother in cleaning up the dishes, although they didn't have to do these tasks. The rare gathering of mother and daughter naturally wouldn't have them instruct others to come over.
Deep night.
At three o'clock, the moon hung high in the western sky, and the northern sea shimmered in the moonlight, swaying as if the moon were about to sink into the ocean.
Ye Hao stretched lazily, groggily getting up and heading downstairs. There was only one bathroom on the second floor, which was in Lin Ruyu and Su Qing's room. Ye Hao couldn't possibly enter a woman's room in the dead of night to find a restroom. So, he staggered down the stairs, holding on to the handrail, swaying slightly.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian also groggily stood up. Normally, he would have Yan Shuiyue by his side to care for him, but with Yan Shuiyue sleeping with Lin Ruyu tonight, he had to manage on his own.
Now with a sudden urge to urinate, and no one helping him, he couldn't wet his pants, so he too stumbled downstairs.
Upon reaching downstairs, Ye Hao, somewhat disoriented, wandered a bit before spotting the fridge with a faint glow. He thought the bathroom was there, and approached the large fridge, opening it. As the icy air hit him, he felt a chill but remained oblivious due to the alcohol.
Dazedly, he relieved himself on the fridge, then spotted Lin Tian coming down and, his head spinning, said, "Lin... Lin, uncle, need the bathroom? Here, for you." Ye Hao finished speaking, shivered a bit, and zipped up his pants before heading back upstairs.
After Ye Hao left, the fridge automatically closed.
Lin Tian nodded upon hearing this, burped, and said, "Thanks, Hao, you sleep!"
Dazedly, he approached and opened the fridge door; a chilly draft hit him. Lin Tian shivered, but with urgency hitting hard, he hastily relieved himself before returning to his room...
The next day.
The sun rose slowly in the east, illuminating the Celestial Paradise Coast. In September, not many like to sleep in; typically, they rise with the sun.
Lin Ruyu and Su Qing each cuddled an arm of Yan Shuiyue as they drifted through the night. Now awake, slightly stiff, they stretched luxuriously.
"I slept really well!" Lin Ruyu said with a charming smile.
"I haven't slept this well in a long time, Mrs. Lin feels so warm." Su Qing said with a charming smile.
Yan Shuiyue chuckled and then said, "Usually by this time, your breakfast should be ready, right?"
"Yeah! Usually by now, mom would have already finished making it and called us to get up," Yuyu nodded and said, "But it looks like she's not able to make it today. She drank so much last night, she might still be asleep now!"
"Then I'll go make breakfast for you, let them rest a bit more, it's not easy for that kid, try to take better care of him in the future." Yan Shuiyue's words were exactly the same as what Lin Tian had said last time.
Yuyu was stunned, what kind of riddles are mom and dad playing? Dad reminded me last time, and now mom too? Does he really have some special traits?
"Alright, I'll go make breakfast for you, you guys rest a bit more!" Yan Shuiyue got up with a smile, got dressed and went downstairs to make breakfast for them.
"Yuyu, I'm thirsty." Su Qing blinked and said.
"Me too..." Yuyu nodded, then laughed, "Don't expect me to get it for you, if you want to drink water, get it from the fridge yourself." After speaking, Yuyu also got dressed and followed her mom downstairs.
Su Qing reluctantly had to get dressed and follow downstairs as well.
At this time, Lin Tian and Ye Hao also woke up, but they recalled what they did yesterday, and it felt like they went to the Ghost Gate to use the bathroom. Thinking of this, the two of them shivered together and then went downstairs.
Yuyu and Su Qing opened the fridge downstairs, but as soon as they opened it, a strong smell of urine hit their noses. Both of them pinched their noses and retreated as if avoiding the plague.
They thought, what kind of smell is this? Is something in the fridge expired? But no, everything in the fridge was bought yesterday. How could it be expired today? That's impossible!
The two exchanged glances, clueless, and could only wait for Ye Hao to come down and ask him.
The two thirsty girls could only sit on the sofa staring at each other while waiting for Ye Hao to wake up, but just then, Yuyu's phone rang, displaying the name "Little Cousin".
Feeling a bit helpless, Yuyu picked up the phone, answered, and asked, "Hello, why are you calling me so early, cousin?"
"Haha! Cousin, it's rare for me to come to Peng City, are you not welcoming me?" A laughing voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yuyu inwardly complained, what do you mean by rarely coming to Peng City? You've been here at least twice a month, right? Such sweet talk. Yuyu pouted and said, "What are you doing in Peng City? If there's nothing, I'm hanging up." The thirsty Yuyu didn't plan to say much.
"I'm at your villa gate, and your bodyguards won't let me in! Can you open the door for me?" the voice on the other end of the phone said with a laugh.
"Oh? Okay, then wait a moment..." Yuyu hung up the phone after speaking.
"Thud thud thud!"
Two hurried figures came down from upstairs, Ye Hao in front, Lin Tian behind, both looking as if they had an urgent matter.
"Hey, what are you doing? Dad, what are you doing?" Yuyu asked, and Su Qing also cast a puzzled look.
"Don't say anything yet, I need to tell you something, is there something unclean about this villa?" Ye Hao asked beforehand...
"Yes! I was thinking the same thing, it really feels like that." Lin Tian, at this moment without the image of a business mogul, seemed as if he encountered something frightening.
"Eh? Uncle Lin, why do you feel that way too?" Ye Hao looked at Lin Tian with confusion.
Lin Tian pondered for a moment and then said, "Because… because..." Lin Tian couldn't express what it was despite saying 'because' twice.
At this time, Yan Shuiyue came out from the kitchen, laughed, and said, "Are you scaring the kids again?"
"No we're not," Lin Tian explained, then turned around and said, "Because last night I felt like I used the bathroom at the Ghost Gate..."
"Huh? Uncle Lin, you felt like that too? Me too! I felt cold wind blowing through the bathroom, and the bathroom lights kept flickering, it was gloomy and eerie. I even remember after I was done, a spine-chilling sound came from behind me..." Ye Hao exclaimed, eyes wide, as if it were a big deal.
"No way? Hao, you felt it too? But I was called out by a chilly wind before I even went to the bathroom." Lin Tian also looked at Ye Hao with wide eyes.
The three girls were startled on hearing this, and Su Qing and Yuyu couldn't help but hold each other tightly...
