Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 246 Family and Country in Dire Straits (16)

Meanwhile, the bride in the main hall had already been helped into the backyard by her maids.

The crowd, who had been waiting for Yan Xi to have some free time, swarmed around him, all saying auspicious words.

But how much of these blessings and congratulations were genuine remains unknown.

Gu Yao observed the people around him; it was all in disarray.

Finding the person who's up to something today really requires a keen eye.

Yan Yu had been secretly watching Gu Yao. Seeing that the man seemed to be looking for something, he slightly bent down and leaned close to the young man's ear, "Sir, what are you looking for?"

Gu Yao looked at the crowd shoving forward in front of him, pursed his lips slightly, and regretfully looked away.

"fine."

Let's just see how things go.

The current chaotic situation is really difficult to manage.

That regretful expression, in Yan Yu's eyes, meant that someone else had caught the master's eye.

The boy's eyes flashed, and he gently twirled his fingers.

It's best not to let him know who it is.

***

After several rounds of drinks, Yan Xi, as one of the main characters of the day, went from table to table toasting. By the time he reached Gu Yao's table, the last one, his face was flushed.

But he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The person, who usually has a bad temper, was unusually easy to talk to today.

"Xiao Yu, it's Father's wedding today, would you like to have a drink?"

Gu Yao frowned, somewhat worried.

Is that bastard alright? He knows Yan Yu isn't in good health, yet he still makes him drink.

And he even had his child congratulate his father on marrying another woman?

Or is it a girl around his age?!

Gu Yao turned his head to look at Yan Yu, only to see that the young man's expression was normal, and he even had a faint smile on his face.

He raised his glass, filled it to the brim, and said, "Since Father has said so, I, as his son, naturally cannot refuse. This glass is a toast to Father, Yan, and Xiaoniang, wishing them a long and happy marriage."

As he spoke, he was about to down the liquor in his hand in one gulp.

Gu Yao frowned even more deeply.

Yan Yu's health was already poor, and he caught a cold two weeks ago. He also drank alcohol. Does he want to die?

He pressed down on Yan Yu's wrist.

Yan Yu was puzzled.

Before he could react, Gu Yao snatched the wine glass from his hand and bowed slightly to Yan Xi in front of him, saying, "Young Master Yan is not feeling well, so I will drink this wine on his behalf today."

Before anyone present could react, Gu Yao had already downed the wine in his hand in one gulp.

"Although I am Yan Yu's teacher, this matter is somewhat against the rules, so I will punish myself with three cups."

Before he finished speaking, the handsome young man had already filled a cup.

Yan Yu stared blankly at Gu Yao, who was shielding him from the drinks, his fingertips unconsciously twitching.

I just felt my heart burning.

How long has it been since anyone cared for me like this since my mother passed away?

Even his father didn't care about his health.

After four cups of wine, the young man's fair face was flushed with a rosy hue, like a sunset reflected in white clouds.

With delicate features and a cool demeanor, his usually pale face was now brimming with vitality. Yan Yu turned his head to look at the young man's exquisite profile and felt that something was missing.

A pair of dreamy eyes flashed through my mind, with a beauty mark at the corner of their eye.

Yes.

She's missing a beauty mark under her eye.

If she has a beauty mark under her eye, it will add a touch of glamour.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes.

My heart feels a little swollen.

It felt as if something important had returned to me.

Yan Xi also raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, but his gaze was fixed on the young man in front of him, and he gave a cryptic smile.

"Mr. Gu, very good."

Gu Yao's expression remained unchanged. "I am grateful to Commander Yan for giving me a meal."

Yan Xi's smile remained unchanged, but after glancing at Gu Yao a few more times, she turned her wine glass towards the others.

The people at the last table were the lowest in status among those present, and when they saw Yan Xi raise his hand to toast, they all stood up.

They didn't have Gu Yao's guts.

They even dared to stop Yan Shuai from offering them wine.

Gu Yao saw Yan Xi turn his head and stumbled.

But Yan Yu caught her with lightning speed.

He helped Gu Yao sit down.

"Sir, would you like to rest in a guest room?"

Gu Yao was taken aback, stared at the boy in front of him for a long time, and then shook his head.

"No need. Now that a new woman has joined the household, it's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to be here."

Yan Yu pursed his lips, wanting to suggest that Gu Yao rest in his courtyard.

Gu Yao had already closed his eyes and was resting his chin on his hand.

It seems like he's a bit too drunk.

Yan Yu stared at Gu Yao's long hair that was falling slightly to her shoulders, her delicate eyebrows and eyes hidden by the wispy strands of hair.

The boy reached out and brushed Gu Yao's hair from his forehead. Gu Yao opened his eyes groggily, saw that it was Yan Yu, and then closed his half-open eyes again.

Let the boy do as he pleases.

Gu Yao's indulgence made Yan Yu curl her fingertips and hesitate.

Looking at the person in front of me, whose clarity was as bright as the moon.

He felt that his thoughts were filthy.

People like him.

How could it be worthy of such a bright moon?

The entire Yan family home was filthy.

Including him.

Yan Yu dejectedly lowered his hand.

He felt that he was acting recklessly because of Gu Yao's favoritism.

I have failed to live up to your trust.

So be it.

Just keep looking at your husband like this.

Yan Yu's gaze was fixed entirely on Gu Yao.

The bright moon was captured in my eyes.

There was no room for any other scenery.

Seeing Yan Yu's infatuated gaze, Xiao Jiu trembled with fear.

Her already petite body shrank even further.

To prevent the chosen one from seeing himself.

He looked at me with a look that threatened to kill.

He doesn't want to experience that again.

***

Gu Yao's mind was a little foggy, but his concentration was even stronger.

He knew that his actions just now were reckless.

However, he just couldn't bear to see Yan Yu suffer.

At most, his drinking will only cause some delays, but Yan Yu might die.

(Xiao Jiu: Actually, those destined for greatness don't die easily.)

He hadn't expected this body to have such a low alcohol tolerance.

Although his physical condition and alcohol tolerance weren't very good in previous worlds either.

But it's at least a bit better than this.

But only four small cups.

I felt a burning sensation in my stomach.

We can only take one step at a time.

Gu Yao closed his eyes to rest, but focused all his attention on his hearing.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Everyone was shocked.

The dozen or so tables of guests instantly descended into chaos, filled with cries, screams, shouts, and gunshots.

As soon as the first shot rang out, Gu Yao pulled Yan Yu under the table.

Yan Yu turned his head to look, and behind the red tablecloth, Gu Yao's eyes were full of clarity.

He showed no signs of drunkenness whatsoever.
