Qin Ruojing gave a charming scold, grabbed a cake, and launched a counterattack.

Although she had indeed drunk a bit too much and was almost completely leaning against Chu Ge, moving a bit unsteadily, it didn't stop her from smearing the white cream in her hand onto Qin Ruoying's face. Though it wasn't exactly steady, accurate, and ruthless, it was at least an effective attack, leaving quite a bit on Qin Ruoying's hair.

Qin Ruoying obviously anticipated this in advance. As she was attacked, she laughed enthusiastically and quickly grabbed another piece of cake, fighting back without backing down.

The sisters started a cake fight, and Chu Ge got bumped by the sister one moment and nudged by the other the next, stuck in the middle unable to move.

Hmm... Is this what life should be like for twenty-something girls? A bit of fighting, joking, and laughing — how wonderful.

Some might think this kind of play is a bit wasteful, but Chu Ge didn't think so. Qin Ruojing earned money with her own skills, so how she spends it is entirely up to her. Besides, Qin Ruojing rarely laughs so openly like this. It's a rare pleasure to let loose and have a good laugh. Everyone should have their own youth, right?

As Chu Ge was thinking about this, his face suddenly got smeared, collateral damage to the pond, leaving a streak of white cream.

"Hey, I'm telling you guys..." He got a few words out before getting hit on the neck again.

"If you keep this up, I'm going to..." Another swipe of cream got smeared across Chu Ge's forehead.

The Qin sisters were having a great time playing and, upon hearing Chu Ge's protest, Qin Ruoying couldn't help but giggle, "Brother-in-law, what are you going to do?"

Qin Ruojing, with her slightly hazy eyes, looked at Chu Ge with fascination, "Yeah, what are you going to do?"

Chu Ge held one hand of each Qin sister and warned in a not-so-serious tone, "If you two keep pushing me, I might fight back."

"Come on? Are we supposed to be scared?"

As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, Qin Ruoying gave a mischievous smile, grabbed a piece of cake with the other hand, and pressed it onto Chu Ge's face. If her previous hits were accidental, this time she was aiming directly at Chu Ge.

"Bullseye, yay!" Chu Ge rolled his eyes, wiped his face, while Qin Ruoying laughed even more triumphantly.

Chu Ge felt helpless yet amused. Before he could say anything further, Qin Ruojing used her free hand to attack him as well. Taking him by surprise, she hit yet another bullseye, smearing cream over his thick eyebrows.

"Hahaha, the White-Browed Hero."

"White-Browed Hero, my foot! In those tales, the White-Browed Hero is a super ugly guy. I am a super handsome guy, alright?"

"Narcissist, who goes around claiming to be a super handsome guy? You really don't know humility, do you? Come on, White-Browed Hero, take this!"

Qin Ruojing said as she launched another cake attack on Chu Ge.

Chu Ge found it even more amusing. When Qin Ruojing goes wild, she is certainly a match for her sister.

Amused and caught up in the fun, Chu Ge shook his head in mock resignation, but as he released their hands, he smirked playfully, grabbed cakes with both hands, and spread them across their faces.

Smearing cakes on each other during birthdays is quite normal among young people, and considering how well he knew the sisters, he didn't mind adding to the lively atmosphere amidst their playful provocations.

There's no point in not being a little wild when young. Despite being more mature for his age, today he was celebrating his twenty-fifth birthday; being too serious would spoil the fun and wouldn't honor the surprise the sisters had prepared for him.

"Ah!"

The sisters hadn't anticipated Chu Ge's aggressive tactics and cried out in surprise. As Chu Ge removed his hands and displayed a mischievous grin, they immediately launched a more intense counterattack.

Once Chu Ge joined the fray, the battle quickly heated up, and white cream soon covered their heads, faces, and clothing.

Even under the influence of alcohol, although they'd made quite a mess with cake everywhere, the three had gone wild. Despite the cries spilling from their lips, no one really cared; the battle just grew more intense.

It's unclear how long this went on, but eventually, simply smearing cakes wasn't enough for the trio, so they decided to start a water fight.

Beer, white wine, and red wine were sprayed wildly everywhere, covering not just the three people but also all over Qin Ruojing's house. The mix of white wine, red wine, and beer filled the place with a rich, sweet aroma, combining with the sweet fragrance of cake into a wild and joyous scent.

Their playful antics kept evolving and upgrading, with their battleground moving all over. They started at the dinner table and somehow shifted to the sofa. After that, Chu Ge couldn't quite remember.

In any case, it was a cheerful and crazy night, a rare occasion for the three to indulge in carefree relaxation and fun.

In the morning, the sun rose as usual, a ray of sunlight shining through the curtains onto Chu Ge's face.

Feeling this touch of light, Chu Ge's eyes twitched slightly. The sounds of the outside world went from being a blur to slowly becoming clear—the rustling of leaves in the wind, the honking of car horns.

He rubbed his temples, which were a bit swollen and painful from the hangover, licked his dry lips, and his lips moved slightly as he opened his eyes in a somewhat dazed state.

In his vision was the familiar ceiling. In a muddled state, Chu Ge wanted to stretch lazily. As soon as he moved, he paused slightly and then looked to his side.

With a glance, Chu Ge's pupils shrank instantly. The intoxication from the hangover cleared up more than half, leaving him frozen in place with eyes wide and arms slightly curled.

Was this Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying lying next to him in his line of sight?

In fact, if it were just that, it wouldn't matter so much.

The key was... when Chu Ge lifted the blanket to get out of bed, he found that he wasn't wearing any clothes?

Chu Ge was startled, the rest of the drunkenness completely dissipated. Was he not wearing clothes? How could he possibly not be wearing clothes? And what about the woman next to him, whether she was Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying?

Confused, what on earth is going on?

"Hmm..."

A lazy hum sounded in his ears. The woman, whether it was Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying, moved her lips slightly and turned her body, facing Chu Ge, her arm instinctively touched Chu Ge's hand.

Chu Ge swallowed, but it did nothing to moisten his dry throat, his heart filled with enormous astonishment.

"How... could this happen? Damn it, what did I do last night? Eat, drink, smear cake, and then? Why can't I remember anything? How did I end up back in this bed?"

Chu Ge frowned even more tightly, rubbing his temples and thinking hard, but apart from eating, drinking, and smearing cake, he really couldn't remember anything else.

He considered waking up the woman next to him, whether she was Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying, to ask her if she knew what the situation was now, but Chu Ge quickly abandoned the idea because he felt that if their eyes met, it would undoubtedly be even more awkward.

With a sigh of frustration, Chu Ge grew increasingly restless inside.

What to do?

Faced with this scene, "what to do" was all over Chu Ge's mind, swirling around, making his already hungover headache worse.

Get dressed and leave?

Chu Ge immediately dismissed that idea. Even though he never considered himself a gentleman, he couldn't bring himself to do something so screwed up.

After taking a long, deep breath, Chu Ge closed his eyes again, wanting to pretend to sleep and wait for the woman next to him, whether Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying, to wake up first before deciding what to do next.

As his eyelids closed again, Chu Ge's world turned back into darkness, his head buzzing and aching, really aching.

After what felt like an eternity of a few minutes, Chu Ge opened his eyes again. If this kind of thing really happened, and he let this woman face this situation first while pretending to sleep, it really didn't seem quite right.

Although Chu Ge had pretended to sleep before, the circumstances then and now were fundamentally different.

That time after he came back from Tong Yaqi's place and slept with Qin Ruojing, it was purely sleeping, nothing extra happened. But now, whether he remembered or not, whatever happened at the time, it seemed like he really did something.

Ever since he knew Qin Ruojing, Qin Ruojing had been so good to him. If at this time, facing a woman who might very well be Qin Ruojing, he didn't man up a little, what kind of man would he be?

However, even though Chu Ge decided to take responsibility, it didn't mean he wasn't having a headache. Looking at the beautiful sleeping figure in his vision, his feelings were incredibly complicated.

The sun was rising bit by bit. Even though the curtains were drawn, the room was getting brighter and brighter. While waiting for the woman next to him to wake up, Chu Ge's mind was a chaotic mess, flashing scenes of little moments shared with Qin Ruojing after they met.

He didn't know how long it took, but the woman beside him let out another lazy sound, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and finally, under Chu Ge's gaze, she opened those beautiful eyes.

"Hmm? Chu Ge?"

At this moment, even though Chu Ge's mind was in turmoil and he wasn't mentally prepared for whatever might happen next, he still nodded slightly and gave her a smile brighter than the sun.

"Morning."
