Chapter 354: Chapter 354: How sour can this question get?

“Ow! It hurts…”

Liu Zhi’er, swept off her feet by him, crashed directly into his chest, prompting an involuntary cry from her.

In a state of disarray, she tried to rise from him, but his iron arm kept her pinned down. The push-up she had just managed catapulted her back into his arms, causing her face to explode with embarrassment.

Near her cheek was his heart, and the strong pulses that emanated from his chest gave her an unusual sensation.

She was dumbfounded for a while before clumsily trying to rise again.

The sudden void at his chest made Di Yelei grumble incomprehensibly, and he flung his arms around, coincidentally clutching Liu Sisi’s hand who was sleeping on the other side. Clasping it tightly, he laughed contentedly!

“Sisi, the office of the County Magistrate has suspended its operations and we’ve gotten the day off. Today is a joyful day… both knees at the door! Happy… mumbling…”

Nonsense spilled from his drugged lips. Liu Zhi’er listened, but soon lost interest and ran off to her own room without a thought for the dirty stains on his clothes, casually flinging a quilt over the two of them.

Sitting on the bed beside the still asleep Da Mao, Liu Zhi’er took a while before she found the courage to start untangling the sash from her clothes.

Her trembling hands struggled for a while before she managed to remove her outer clothing.

Lifting her clothes, she gazed at the hidden place where a pink scar had just started to heal. A wave of sadness overcame her…

Unable to contain her desolation, she encircled herself, weeping quietly, struggling to suppress any audible sounds of grief.

In the middle of the night, Di Yelei was awakened by an excruciating headache.

Simultaneously, he detected a strange and unpleasant odor.

After a great deal of effort, he opened his eyes, looked at Sisi’s hand wrapped in his, shook his heavy head and tried to recall the events of the day but found he had no memory of even returning home.

Fearing that the smell of wine on his body would offend Liu Sisi, he hastily got up to wash himself, only then noticing the stains on his clothes.

Baffled!

How did these stains get onto his clothes? He couldn’t remember at all!

Shaking his head, he changed into clean clothes and returned to the room refreshed.

When he got back, he found that Liu Sisi seemed to have just woken up and was looking around in confusion.

“Ye Lei!” She called out softly.

“Sisi, yesterday was the 21st day of Lunar December. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory chose an auspicious day and notified the governmental office to cease operations. All officials started to take leave. On the day of the seal yesterday, the County Magistrate joked and asked me to host a banquet for my colleagues. I couldn’t refuse, so I invited everyone to the First-Class Fragrant Restaurant for a merry gathering. They all urged me to drink. If it weren’t for Zhang Peng helping me avoid some drinks, I would probably not even have the strength to climb onto the horse,” he explained.

“Are you proud of that? You got leglessly drunk. You were completely asleep on the horseback. When the jujube red horse brought you back, we couldn’t get you into the house. Thankfully, Second Sister arrived and managed to get you inside with the help of Sister Guihua. Look at you, your drunk antics worry the entire family. It’s pointless and harms your health, what for?”

Liu Sisi glared at him, and thought better of telling him about her close brush with losing the baby.
