Ye Kun quickly handed her a tissue and concernedly asked, “Are you okay?”
Fang Xi took the tissue and coughed into it a few times. Her slightly tipsy face reddened, and she gently shook her head and apologized, “Sorry about that.”
Ye Kun was relieved when he saw that she was fine and advised her, “Slow down; the drinks aren’t going anywhere.”
Fang Xi returned to their previous conversation and told him, “Mr. Ye Kun, you needn’t bother sending me home. I have a friend picking me up, but I appreciate the offer. Thank you!”
Ye Kun now understood why Fang Xi dared to drink so liberally and felt slightly disappointed. Just then, the bartender hurried over and informed Fang Xi, “Miss Fang, Miss Yun couldn’t get through to you, so she called me and asked me to come over to check if you were drunk. She said she’s a little busy and couldn’t come pick you up at the moment.”
Fang Xi was stunned—she couldn’t believe Yun Nan bailed on her. More importantly, she had just assured Ye Kun she had a ride home not a minute ago!
Ye Kun barely hid his smile at the news and stated, “Miss Fang, we’re heading the same way anyway. Why don’t I give you a ride home so you don’t have to trouble your friend?”
‘Her friend who is also a girl. That’s good to know. From that, I think it’s safe to say she definitely doesn’t have a boyfriend,’ Ye Kun secretly deduced, and hope blossomed in his chest.
“Young Master Kun, Miss Fang is our VIP customer,” the bartender respectfully imparted.
Ye Kun smiled. “Okay, then it’s my duty as a member of staff to escort Miss Fang back home. I guarantee in the name of this bar that I’ll send you home safely, Miss Fang, so give us a chance. Let us provide you with the VIP services promised to our VIP customers.”
When the bartender saw Fang Xi’s baffled expression, he hurriedly told her, “Miss Fang, Mr. Ye Kun is one of our bar’s shareholders.”
Fang Xi smiled and thanked the bartender. She then took out her phone and saw she’d missed a call from Yun Nan. She knew that Yun Nan must be busy right now, so she sent her a reply on WeChat: “It’s fine. The bar has arranged for someone to send me home. Don’t worry.”
She put down her phone and accepted Ye Kun’s offer. “Thank you, Mr. Ye. I could really use that VIP service if you don’t mind.” “It’s my pleasure!” Ye Kun delightedly replied.
“Can we take my car? I have work tomorrow,” Fang Xi requested.
“No problem,” Ye Kun immediately agreed. He didn’t mind being her chauffeur at all. He hadn’t drunk a single drop of alcohol the entire night just for this very moment.
Sitting in the passenger seat of her car, Fang Xi felt sleepy and rubbed her forehead. “Go ahead and take a nap. I’ll wake you up when we get there,” Ye Kun suggested as he fastened his seatbelt.
Fang Xi leaned back in her seat and got comfortable. She smiled lazily and said, “Nah, why don’t we chat instead? I can sleep when I get home.” She had poor sleep; if she slept now, she wouldn’t be able to sleep a wink when she got home.
“How about I tell you some funny stories about my childhood?” Ye Kun volunteered as he started the car and smiled. “They’re probably more effective than hangover soup.” He deliberately didn’t call her “Miss Fang.” Fang Xi was busy laughing and didn’t notice. “Oh, really? Is that so?”
“I was eight years old the first time I drank alcohol,” Ye Kun began. “I heard Maotai is especially delicious, so I stole two bottles of it from my grandfather. I even invited my buddies over for a drink. The four of us hid in the basement and drank. We had one bottle, and then the alcohol kicked in. We got so high that night. One of us thought he was Popeye the sailor man, another thought he was B-Robo Kabutack, and someone thought they were Simba from Lion King.”
“And for the sake of justice, we started to use our powers. When the adults found us, we just about tore the basement apart. My brother said it was the first time he saw someone turn into a demolisher after having too much alcohol. ”
Fang Xi could picture the scene in her mind, and she couldn’t help but laugh. Chortling, she asked, “What did you imagine yourself as?”
“Me? I thought I was a tiger and fought Simba for the sofa. In the end, I decided that if I can’t have it, no one can, so I dug a hole in the middle of the sofa, haha!”
Fang Xi cracked up and chuckled, “Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun!”
Ye Kun nodded and agreed, “Yeah, we did. We also got a spanking for it. Now that wasn’t much fun!” Fang Xi laughed to tears at that.
Ye Kun clicked his tongue and continued, “My older brother took a photo of what happened back then. That year, each time the four of us celebrated our birthdays, he would take out those photos and let us relive them. Thanks to him, our four families got a lot of fun out of our embarrassing moments. However, none of us could beat him, and no one stood on our side when we complained about him. It made us very upset for a while.”
Fang Xi was laughing so hard she had to lean against the window. She felt she shouldn’t be laughing at Ye Kun’s past misfortune and repeatedly apologized, “Sorry, sorry. Please excuse me.” However, Ye Kun’s tale was honestly too funny, and she couldn’t stop herself.
Ye Kun turned to look at Fang Xi’s giggling face. ‘This girl is just too cute,’ he thought.. ‘Sharing that embarrassing incident was completely worth it!’
