The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1187

Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187
The night grew darker, and Lin Yifan, who hadn’t drunk for a long time, felt the world spinning.
"How about lighting the kang in the western room and spending the night right here?"
After putting down the drunken second uncle, the second aunt said to Lin Yifan.
"No need... second aunt... I can go home..."
Lin Yifan stood up, swaying, and tried to push the door to leave.
"Don’t worry, second aunt, I’ll go home with him."
Shen Shiyao quickly reached out to grab Lin Yifan’s arm.
"Okay, then you guys go slowly."
The second aunt’s smile seemed to see right through everything.
Handsome men and pretty women plus a little alcohol easily lead to things.
"I’m not drunk."
Swaying out of the second uncle’s home, Lin Yifan hiccuped and said.
"If you weren’t drunk, you’d return to the Provincial City instead of staying in the countryside. Who knows what you’re thinking."
Putting Lin Yifan’s arm over her fragrant shoulder, Shen Shiyao supported him with effort.
As he swayed, she was continuously swaying side to side.
"You smell so good."
Lin Yifan took a deep breath, his nose filled with Shen Shiyao’s fragrance.
That scent wasn’t from shampoo or shower gel.
It was emanating naturally from her.
"Annoying."
Though the word "annoying" came from her lips, Shen Shiyao felt immense joy inside.
Lit by dim street lamps, seeing his handsome face made her heart race.
Alone together with a bit of alcohol; if something happened while he was drunk, this good man wouldn’t be able to escape.
The thought made Shen Shiyao feel even more shyly flushed.
But it seemed to give her more energy.
"Teacher Shen, what’s going on?"
But just as she was helping Lin Yifan into the courtyard, Xu Fengxian emerged from the house, making her shiver.
"He’s drunk."
Having been in the village for over a year, Shen Shiyao had heard that this pretty widow seemed to have some ambiguity with Lin Yifan.
She hadn’t paid much attention before, casually treating it as a joke, but now things felt different.
What was she doing coming out of Lin Yifan’s house in the middle of the night?
"Ah, he shouldn’t boast if he can’t drink. Let me take it from here."
Xu Fengxian hurried forward, grabbing Lin Yifan’s other arm.
"Sister, it’s okay, I can handle it."
Shen Shiyao didn’t let go, the two of them took him back to the inner room.
Placing Lin Yifan on the kang, Xu Fengxian glanced at the not-yet-departed Shen Shiyao.
"Alright, sis, it’s so late, you’re tired too; you have classes tomorrow. Leave it to me, I understand how to care for men better than you, go rest early."
"Sister, I’m not tired, besides, I don’t have classes tomorrow. My dad often got drunk, and my mom and I would take care of him, I have experience. Let me do it."
Shen Shiyao wasn’t going to leave now; even if something happened between them, it was when he was foolish.
Now he’s sober, she couldn’t let her take advantage.
"Rural life isn’t like the city. You can’t expect smooth operations with late-night fire-making. City girl, you don’t understand lighting a fire; better go back. Sleep is the best way for women to replenish themselves."
Xu Fengxian, hands on hips, said snarkily.
"I was at the table too. If something happens to Lin Yifan, I’m partially responsible. But Ms. Fengxian, you should go rest; you need it more than me."
Shen Shiyao wasn’t easy to deal with, she didn’t plan to let Xu Fengxian have it so cheaply.
Her words subtly jabbed at her age.
"I’ve lived long enough; a day or half makes no difference. What does it matter if people see? There are always rumors at a widow’s door; I stopped caring long ago. But Teacher Shen, with your education, it’d be bad if word spread about you staying out late. You know how much gossip there is in our village."
Xu Fengxian embraced herself, sitting on the kang edge, leaning against the wall.
In a battle of will, Shen Shiyao wasn’t her match.
Back and forth, Lin Yifan lying on the kang felt helpless.
He didn’t dare move; sensing neither woman was easy to deal with, it would be troublesome if he awoke.
Realizing this, he could only pretend to be drunk.
While the two women held each other up, neither willing to leave an opening for the other.
A flashlight’s beam shone from the outside.
Xizhu pushed the door to enter the inner room.
"Oh, you’re all here."
"Xizhu, why are you here?"
Xu Fengxian didn’t expect Xizhu to come at this time.
"I heard my brother got better, came straight from the construction site to check."
Xizhu said with a simple smile.
"Yifan is drunk, he probably won’t wake until morning."
Shen Shiyao leaned against the wardrobe at the kang head, spoke coldly.
"Then it’s fine, men get extra heavy when drunk. You two can’t handle it. Why don’t you both go back, I’ll stay with him. Ms. Feng, Jiufeng hasn’t talked to me since waking; maybe you could go keep her company."
Xizhu scratched his head.
He had his own reasons for coming tonight and couldn’t just leave.
"Why involve me in your Old Lin family business, I can’t be bothered with your issues."
Though Xu Fengxian said this, she still stepped onto the floor.
Pushed the inner room door open but didn’t leave immediately.
"Teacher Shen, with Xizhu here, you should go back too. Don’t involve yourself in men’s affairs."
"Then I’ll leave Lin Yifan to you. Call me if anything happens."
With that said, Shen Shiyao couldn’t linger.
She left after giving instructions, reluctantly walking out of the inner room.
Following Xu Fengxian outside, neither spoke a word.
Each held different thoughts.
As the footsteps faded, Lin Yifan dared to open his eyes.
With a lowered voice, he asked: "Did they leave?"
"You weren’t drunk?"
Xizhu was surprised, glancing out the window.
Both women had really left the yard, heading home.
Sitting up, Lin Yifan rubbed his head.
"Drunk or not, with those two here, I didn’t dare get up, too much trouble."
The white liquor had quite the kick; half a kilogram made him feverish.
Xizhu winked and punched Lin Yifan lightly.
"You lucky guy, recovered and now a hot topic. Both Teacher Shen, a dream wife to many young men, and Xu Fengxian, whose many villages’ guys are after. College graduates are appealing—two beauties wouldn’t sleep, fighting over you."
"Come on, one is a confidante, two would be trouble. If not for them, I wouldn’t fake being drunk. But you’re not bad either, having wed such a lovely sister-in-law, cherish her."
Lin Yifan gave Xizhu a look.
Though he hadn’t clearly seen Dong Jiu Feng in Xu Fengxian’s house today, he saw enough to notice her fair skin.
No sooner had he said it, Xizhu suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud.
"Brother, I came for this—save your brother, or my family will be ruined!"
