Jiang Yan and Jiang Mi also really wanted to drink. The three of them poured themselves a cup each. Their glasses clinked together, and the three girls, who were not good drinkers, downed a cup in one go.
Ye Wan was a lightweight. After one cup, her head started to spin. She poured herself a second cup. Jiang Yan also opened a bottle and poured herself a cup. Jiang Mi’s alcohol tolerance was a bit better than the other two, but thinking about her current predicament, she was also heavy-hearted and continued to drink cup after cup on her own.
After finishing his meal, Ye Cheng retreated to his room to play. He was always independent and didn't want to trouble his sister.
Ye Wan said, "We won't go home until we're drunk tonight! You'll stay here tonight! Starting tomorrow, we'll all start anew and live our lives well!"
Jiang Yan nodded, "That's right, say goodbye to the past, and from now on, we are reborn!"
"We have to face life even more bravely from now on! Cheers!" Jiang Mi raised her cup high.
The three of them ate and drank, and finally, all three passed out at the dining table.
Later, little Ye Cheng ran over and woke up his three tipsy sisters, telling them to go to bed. Fortunately, all three of them had good temperaments when drunk and obediently went to sleep.
With both beds occupied, little Ye Cheng started to clean up the empty bottles and the leftover food on the dining table. After tidying up the table, he moved a small stool and diligently washed all the bowls and put them away. Only then did he return to the living room and sleep on the sofa.
Even if he could only sleep on the sofa, Ye Cheng felt very happy!
...
Gu Yunting was receiving treatment at the hospital. He swallowed the medicine Jin Lan gave him without even looking at it. He hadn't dared to see Ye Wan these past few days; he was afraid he would lose control and kill her!
What Ye Wan didn't know was that her childhood trauma, combined with her mother and sister’s leap from the building, had caused Gu Yunting to suffer from bipolar disorder, which is manic depression. He had spent most of the past few years abroad for treatment.
Therefore, when he was severely stimulated, he couldn't control himself at all!
Three years ago, his condition had been very well controlled, and he could essentially stop taking medication. However, upon his return, his condition relapsed because Ye Wan was not a virgin, forcing him to go abroad for treatment again.
Jin Lan watched him with a helpless sigh and said, "What are you planning to do now?"
"Find that bastard and kill him!" Gu Yunting's eyes were icy, like a soulless beast.
"Your health is more important. You should go abroad for treatment first." Jin Lan did not agree with his plan; no one was more important than one's own life.
"Why?" Gu Yunting looked up at his brother beside him and asked.
His question was abrupt, but Jin Lan knew he was asking about Ye Wan.
"I don't think things are that simple. I don't think Ye Wan is that kind of promiscuous girl," Jin Lan said truthfully, trying to calm his emotions as much as possible.
Although his illness wasn't caused by Ye Wan, every relapse in the following years was related to her.
Given his condition, staying away from Ye Wan and never seeing her again would be the best option.
But Jin Lan knew this was almost impossible!
"I heard it, that dog bastard picked up the phone, and she was acting coquettish with him in bed!" Gu Yunting's emotions were about to spiral out of control as he said this, his eyes turning blood red.
"What if it was just someone who sounded like Ye Wan, deliberately trying to provoke you?" Jin Lan, afraid his condition would worsen, blurted out a plausible excuse.
Gu Yunting froze, his eyes fixed on Jin Lan, as if contemplating this possibility.
"It's not impossible, is it? There are many people who look alike in this world, and quite a few who sound alike. Right?" Jin Lan realized he might have found the crux of the problem.
"How can two people in this world stay together forever?" Gu Yunting closed his eyes and asked in pain.
