"Yes, you're not drunk," Ling Dong knew he was as he looked at his state, supporting Xu Nian'an as they hurried back. He said, "Yicheng, I'll take him home first."
"I'm not going back; I want to drink more," Xu Nian'an slurred, his eyes so bleary that he could barely see anyone clearly.
"We'll drink at home."
Ling Dong knew how to comfort someone who was drunk, and sure enough, once he said they would drink at home, Xu Nian'an fell silent, obediently following him all the way back.
Despite the hot weather, a cool breeze made the walk down the street quite pleasant.
"Ling Dong will safely get Nian'an home," Pei Yicheng praised Ling Dong to himself.
"I'm relieved, but what about your leg? Can you walk that far?" Xu Nianhua looked worriedly at his leg, which had just recently recovered.
"I can."
Pei Yicheng, seeing the skepticism in her eyes, immediately reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm definitely up to it."
The two of them walked back, their shadows elongated by the moonlight.
