Xu Hao laughed as he sang a line from the song, “Just like that, I’m conquered by you, cutting off all escape routes.”
“President, your brother is asking you to sing! Quick! You must sing your ‘Conquer’-ed heart!”
Xu Hao teased, and the people around him followed suit.
Qiao Yu stepped forward and put his arm around Qiao Yue’s neck. He put on a fierce look as he tightened his grip. “Kid, you want your brother to sing ‘Conquer’ to you? And sing it kneeling down?”
“No, no. I wouldn’t dare. I’m just kidding. Just kidding.” Qiao Yue played along and begged for mercy.
Now that Qiao Yu was almost done with his punishment, it was Qiao Yue’s turn.
Qiao Yue had already drunk about a case of beer. Because she didn’t drink anything else, she was sleepy but clear-headed. But she had no idea what would happen after she drank the three U-boats with mixed alcohol.
Amid the crowd’s cheers, Qiao Yue drank all three U-boats in one go. She wanted to get it over with quickly and sing the song before she’s drunk.
The song had already been selected. Seeing Qiao Yue pick up the microphone, the person sitting at the console pressed the play button.
Qiao Yue started to sing with the musical accompaniment. To the disappointment of some of her new classmates, although she sang well, it wasn’t as spectacular as they had imagined. The most unexpected thing tonight was Qiao Yu’s singing. But Qiao Yue had always surprised people, so everyone had high expectations of her.
Qiao Yu stood to the side and watched Qiao Yue sing. Qiao Yue’s side profile looked gentler under the light from the screen. Perhaps because he was sleepy, Qiao Yue’s eyes were misty. He looked like a pitiful puppy waiting for its owner’s pampering.
Qiao Yu was mesmerized; he only came back to his senses when the song ended.
Seeing that both Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu had been punished, the students finally let them go.
In the elevator, Qiao Yue leaned against the wall. She already felt the alcohol go to her head when she was singing just now. It seemed that she had drunk a little too much tonight.
Qiao Yue heard Qiao Yu call the butler, asking him to send someone to pick them up.
“Uncle Fu, did you say that second brother is at Qingyue Restaurant too? And waiting for us downstairs?” Qiao Yu’s voice was filled with confusion.
“Yes, fourth young master. Assistant Zheng has already called home.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Qiao Yu ended the call and muttered under his breath, “Why is second brother here to pick us up? I’ve never seen him do that before.”
There was momentary silence in the elevator. Qiao Yue felt a hand on her forehead, and the cool touch made her open her eyes.
“Are you feeling sick?” Qiao Yu asked gently.
Qiao Yue looked up at Qiao Yu. His eyes were clear and filled with concern.
Qiao Yue leaned forward, resting her head on Qiao Yu’s shoulder.
“Yes, I don’t feel well.”
Qiao Yue thought she was just expressing her thoughts, but she sounded a little flirtatious to Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu wrapped his arms around Qiao Yue’s shoulders, making him more comfortable.
“I’ll piggyback you when we are downstairs.” Qiao Yu said softly.
“It’s fine, I can walk.” Qiao Yue mumbled.
Qiao Yu didn’t say more, but when the elevator reached the ground floor, he lifted Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue opened her eyes in confusion. “Brother? ”
“Sleep! We’ll be in the car soon.”
Qiao Yue was so sleepy that she didn’t have the mood to care about how Qiao Yu was carrying her. She just found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
As soon as they arrived at the underground parking garage, Qiao Yu saw Qiao Jing’s car. Qiao Jing’s assistant in the car also saw them and quickly got out of the car to open the door for them.
“What happened to Master Yue?” The assistant asked.
Qiao Yu carefully placed Qiao Yue in the back seat and said in a low voice, “He had too much to drink. My classmates organized a welcome party for Qiao Yue today.”
Just as Qiao Yu was about to get in, Qiao Jing said, “Go sit in the front passenger seat.”

Qiao Yu frowned in dissatisfaction, not understanding why Qiao Jing was suddenly driving him away. But seeing Qiao Yue’s frowning face, he listened to Qiao Jing and sat in the front.
After getting into the car, Qiao Yu still worriedly turned his head to look in the backseat. It would have been better if he hadn’t looked because what he saw shocked him.
He saw Qiao Jing pull Qiao Yue towards him to hold him. Although his movements were a little stiff, it was obvious that this was not his first time.
What surprised Qiao Yu the most was that a cold-hearted person like his second brother would treat someone so tenderly, especially someone he had just met.
