Chapter 171: Drunken Confession

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together. "How could you..."

"The way you look at Elder Bai He, your actions and behavior are not like a disciple toward a master at all. It is a pity that Elder Bai He is only fifteen years old. He probably does not understand your feelings. Shiyuan, Shiyuan, this really makes things difficult for you. With your personality that cannot easily restrain itself, I wonder how long you will continue to endure this."

As he spoke, Li Changshou felt his head grow slightly dizzy.

He leaned against the wall and slowly closed his eyes.

"Shiyuan, I am tired. I want to rest for a while. I will not talk anymore."

Ye Shiyuan did not respond.

He also drank his wine.

He would never end up like Li Changshou, with feelings that have nowhere to settle, eventually fading into nothing.

Bai He was not the peony demon.

He would never let himself end up heartbroken like that.

...

Bai He did not know where Ye Shiyuan had gone afterward, but when he returned, his steps were unsteady and there was a strong smell of alcohol on him.

He had recently been practicing swordsmanship until very late at night.

At this time, he had still not gone to rest.

"Shiyuan, where you have been?" Bai He asked while supporting Ye Shiyuan.

Ye Shiyuan stared at him with somewhat unfocused eyes and smiled faintly.

"Master, what a coincidence."

"What coincidence? You are obviously drunk. How much did you even drink?"

Bai He complained inwardly.

If you cannot drink, then do not drink.

How did he end up in such a state?

"I will help you back to your room to rest."

Ye Shiyuan obediently let Bai He support him.

He pushed open the door to his room and helped him onto the bed, intending to leave after that.

However, Ye Shiyuan suddenly grabbed his wrist and easily pulled him into his embrace.

In an instant, he was trapped in his arms and could not move at all.

A faint scent of alcohol mixed with Ye Shiyuan’s unique mint like fragrance lingered around him.

Bai He even felt slightly dizzy.

Wait, what was going on?

Ye Shiyuan was actually hugging him.

This was not acceptable.

"Shiyuan, let go of me."

"Master, do not move around."

Ye Shiyuan tightened his arms slightly and then smiled.

"Master, you have no idea how comfortable it is to hold you like this."

Bai He was speechless.

What was he doing?

Was Ye Shiyuan treating him like a pillow?

Bai He did not want to spend the night like this at all.

Moreover, Ye Shiyuan was the one feeling comfortable while he was completely uncomfortable.

"Ye Shiyuan, let go of me. I am going to get angry."

Ye Shiyuan reacted and slightly loosening his grip.

"Master, do not leave. Do not be angry."

He wanted to hold Bai He, but he was also afraid he would be angry. Yet he did not want to let go of him eitherm

He felt conflicted.

Bai He sniffed slightly and suddenly detected a faint trace of demonic aura on Ye Shiyuan.

"Have you secretly gone to meet some little demon behind my back?"

"Where would there be any little demon? Master, you are my little demon."

That really did not sound like something Bai He’s usual Ye Shiyuan would ever say.

"Where did you go?"

"I went to the Demon Cave. I went to see Li Changshou and drank a little with him."

A little?

He really had the nerve to say that.

Looking at his current state, it was obvious he had no idea how many bottles he had actually drunk.

Bai He shifted slightly in his arms.

Since Ye Shiyuan refused to let go of him, then he would just leave on his own.

But who would have thought Ye Shiyuan’s reaction would be even stronger.

"Master, do not move around. It is dangerous."

"What danger? Let go of me."

Bai He did not understand what was going on at all.

He only knew that Ye Shiyuan needed to release him immediately.

At this moment, Mo Zhu spoke beside Bai He’s ear.

"Host, why don’t we take advantage of this situation and just go all the way having sex with him?"

Bai He: ...

Every single one of them was completely unreliable.

At this rate, he would definitely be led astray one day.

"The protagonist will not resist. Look how obedient he is right now."

Bai He did not think so at all.

Right now, Ye Shiyuan did not look obedient.

The normally well-behaved version of him was obedient.

This current version was simply troublesome.

Ye Shiyuan was holding him and refusing to let go of him no matter what.

Bai He’s ears turned red.

He felt like he was in danger at any moment.

But deep down, Bai He still trusted Ye Shiyuan’s character.

He should not do anything inappropriate, right?

Sure enough, Ye Shiyuan did not say anything further.

Not long after, his breathing steadied, and he fell asleep.

Yet his arms still did not loosen even a little.

Just how much obsession did he have with holding him?

...

Morning came.

Ye Shiyuan opened his eyes first.

He looked more exhausted than usual, likely because of the hangover.

But very quickly, he realized something was wrong.

There was something in his arms.

He could faintly smell a very light fragrance.

This scent was...

He lowered his head and realized that the person in his arms was actually Bai He.

He was still resting, his eyes closed and sleeping peacefully.

His expression was soft and very adorable.

Although Ye Shiyuan was shocked, he did not move recklessly.

Instead, he even held him a little longer with a faint sense of reluctance.

Finally, Bai He woke up.

He had fallen asleep last night after being unable to hold on any longer.

It seemed he had remained in the same position throughout the night.

"Master."

Ye Shiyuan’s voice at this moment was the most dangerous part.
