Arknights: It Was Game Over for Me a Bit Too Early

Chapter 20: (ADE) Chapter 20: Drunkenness, a Kiss



The mountains and waters of Yan are very beautiful. No matter how many times Hong Yu had seen them, he would still feel amazed and admire them from the bottom of his heart.

It had been a month since Hong Yu and Ling had decided to travel together.

As for Ling's sudden kiss back then, the two had tacitly never mentioned it during this period, as if it had never happened.

In the evening, under a large banyan tree on an unnamed hill in Yan.

"My... my head is spinning..." Hong Yu clutched his head, his eyes a little dazed. "Ling, I really can't drink anymore..."

The setting sun was gradually descending. The last rays of twilight made Hong Yu's ears red and hot.

Dizzy, body hot, cheeks burning...

Ah, this feeling... I must have drunk too much...

Gradually losing his balance, Hong Yu's last thought before losing consciousness and falling to the ground was: the me who agreed to a drinking contest with Ling a short while ago was an idiot.

Because he had agreed to a drinking contest with Ling, Hong Yu did not directly break down the active ingredients of the alcohol in his body this time.

Plus, recently, he had to help Ling suppress the rampages of "Sui's" consciousness every day...

And all these reasons led to the fact that Hong Yu, whose alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with, had passed out resentfully before Ling was even slightly tipsy.

Seeing Hong Yu's embarrassing display about to bring his body into intimate contact with the ground, Ling casually reached out and caught his body, placing him gently on the grass.

Looking at Hong Yu's sleeping face, Ling couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

She opened the wine gourd and took another sip, seeming a little tipsy herself.

To get drunk so quickly, the old fellow's alcohol tolerance is really bad.

It's the first time I've seen Yu like this. He was never willing to drink with me before.

But... looking at it this way, although his alcohol tolerance is not good, his behavior when drunk is still okay. He just falls asleep on his own when he's drunk, unlike me who would wander around aimlessly.

Although every time she got drunk and opened her eyes again, she would always see the old fellow by her side.

Either he was carrying her home on his back with a helpless expression, or due to his mischievous streak, she would always see his hand holding a paintbrush dangling over her face when she woke up.

Although she didn't know why he would agree to a drinking contest with her today, being able to see this weak side of Hong Yu that she had never seen before wasn't too bad, was it?

Perhaps it was the wine that didn't intoxicate, but the person who did. After drinking a few jugs of wine by herself, Ling gradually felt a wave of dizziness. She didn't bother with propriety and just lay down on Hong Yu's side. With a slight tilt of her head, she could smell the fresh scent mixed with the smell of wine from his body.

Her slightly flushed cheeks were burning. Lying next to Hong Yu, Ling gradually felt her head getting dizzier and dizzier. It didn't feel like being drunk... it felt like... being intoxicated by a person?

The somewhat surprised Ling gradually became bolder and hugged Hong Yu, burying her face in his chest, breathing in his scent like a young beast.

Smells so good.

Face is so hot.

My stomach is a little warm too.

Her thoughts were gradually becoming numb, as if turning into a sticky paste.

Ling didn't want to think too much. She only felt that Hong Yu was like a giant catnip, and she was the cat that was gradually getting high and forgetting herself.

Ling's eyes were hazy as she lifted her head from Hong Yu's chest and reached out to untie the silk that was always wrapped around his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes clearly visible one by one. His breathing was even, and he was sleeping soundly. Without that strip of silk covering his face, Hong Yu seemed to have become even more handsome.

Ling suddenly felt a little lucky that Hong Yu covered his face all the time. If this handsome face were to wander around the capital of Yan every day, the employees of the Sui Regulator would probably all turn into young ladies with improper thoughts.

His lips were slightly parted, and looking at his thin lips, Ling inexplicably swallowed.

Her lips felt a little dry.

At this moment, her head was hot, and her thoughts were gradually detaching from her body. She slowly brought her face close to Hong Yu's. Their breaths intertwined, and Ling could even feel Hong Yu's warm breath on her cheek.

Slowly, her lips approached.

Chu.

Her crimson, moist lips pressed against Hong Yu's.

A light taste, a brief touch.

What a strange feeling...

My body is hot.

This doesn't feel like being drunk, does it? And my alcohol tolerance is definitely not that bad.

My mouth is so dry...

How about... trying one more time?

...(Interlude)...(Ganked by the censors, see the interlude)...

The Great Wild City.

"This... this isn't right?" At this time, Zuo Le was no longer wearing his military uniform but a plain farmer's cloth robe. The weapon in his hand was no longer a sharp sword.

Once upon a time, as a child, Zuo Le had also thought of following in his father's footsteps to become a great general, defending the country's gates, and dying in battle.

Until that ordinary afternoon, he looked at the packed luggage and the roaring transport truck...

The dream of being a wandering swordsman gradually drifted away from him.

It was only then that Zuo Le realized that his father had never intended for him to embark on the path of military service at the border.

He may have questioned his father, why he was being sent to the capital of Yan—Baizao, but the result was still that he left Yumen, where he had lived since childhood, and went to the capital.

Perhaps it was the secret work of fate. During his time in the capital, the Sui Regulator extended an olive branch to him.

In that instant, the behemoth from his childhood memory (the giant beast he saw in Yumen) and the wish to protect the people intertwined in his heart. He accepted the old man's invitation. From then on, Yan lost a future local official and gained a passionate candle holder.

He had successfully completed many missions assigned by the Sui Regulator. For his age, his experience and knowledge were extremely rich, but this also magnified Zuo Le's shortcomings.

All he had ever seen was the superficial prosperity. He knew very little about the lives of the common people.

So that day, when he received the next instruction from the Sui Regulator—to go to the Great Wild City and follow the guidance of the local "Shennong," he set off with his usual mindset and rushed all the way to the Great Wild City.

And then...

"I'm here to farm?!" Zuo Le exclaimed, holding a hoe.

"Ah... haha... I don't really understand Second Brother's methods either... But, Zuo Le, just let He Sheng and Xiao Man show you the ropes," Shu's smile remained.

She certainly knew that Second Brother wanted this proud and promising candle holder to see a bit of the real world, so she said she didn't know, but secretly she had already made all the arrangements for Zuo Le.

"..." Zuo Le was silent for a moment, then said with a hint of reluctance, "Yes, Shennong."

Shennong?

Is that what people outside call me, "Shennong"?

Shu was a little dazed for a moment.

"Shennong?"

"No, child. I am not worthy of the title 'Shennong'," Shu said with a relieved smile.

The real Shennong, ah, had already left after leaving behind his most precious treasure.
