Chapter 441 Go a Little Lighter
Lu Cheng gently handed Shen Li, whom he was holding, to Lu Sheng.
His tone softened a bit: "Brother, take her upstairs and give her a bath first. I'll have someone make some hangover tea."
Ming Xiangyang quickly stepped forward and volunteered, "I'll go. I understand medicine, and the hangover tea I brew will be more effective and gentler, and won't irritate her stomach."
Lu Sheng nodded and carefully took Shen Li.
He turned and walked towards the stairs—his movements were extremely light, as if he were carrying a rare treasure, afraid that he might disturb her if he were not careful.
In the bathroom, warm steam filled the air, and Shen Li seemed to regain some consciousness from the steam.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she felt a pair of warm hands gently tracing her body.
She frowned subconsciously and uttered a soft, sleepy murmur: "Mmm...don't bother me, I want to sleep..."
Lu Sheng looked at his lover in the bathtub, her body flushed and her eyes full of sweet innocence.
The chill in her eyes vanished instantly, leaving only an unyielding tenderness.
He leaned down and chuckled softly in her ear, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence and ambiguity: "Sleep? Tonight, I'm afraid you won't have a choice."
He gently washed away the smell of alcohol from her body and wrapped her in a soft bath towel.
As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Lu Cheng waiting at the door, who gently took her away.
It was carefully placed on the large bed in the bedroom, the movements were incredibly gentle.
"Lu Zhou, you stay here and watch over her. Make sure she doesn't kick off the blankets and catch a cold," Lu Cheng instructed.
After saying that, he and Lu Sheng turned and walked into the bathroom together—after what had just happened, both of them smelled slightly of alcohol.
I just want to wash up quickly and stay by her side.
Lu Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, watching the backs of his eldest and second eldest brothers.
A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
He thought to himself: "She's so clever. Why didn't I think of using the excuse of taking a bath to spend more time with Sister Li?"
Not long after, Lu Cheng and Lu Sheng finished washing up and came out side by side.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou quickly stood up and rushed into the bathroom—he also needed to wash up quickly so he could stay with Sister Li a little longer.
Just then, Ming Xiangyang gently walked in carrying a bowl of warm hangover soup.
He walked to the bedside, looked down at Shen Li who was fast asleep on the bed, his eyes full of tenderness.
He carefully reached out his hand, wanting to help her up.
But as soon as he touched Shen Li, the thin blanket covering her slipped down gently, revealing the delicate skin on her neck, and her full breasts instantly came into view.
Ming Xiangyang's ear tips turned slightly red, and he quickly looked away.
He reached out and gently pulled the thin blanket up, carefully covering her with it, afraid that she would catch a cold.
Then, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Lili, wake up, open your mouth and drink the hangover soup. You won't feel so bad after drinking it, okay?"
Shen Li frowned, her head shaking instinctively, her voice soft yet tinged with resistance: "No... I won't drink it..."
Ming Xiangyang smiled helplessly, his tone full of indulgence yet with a hint of unyielding authority: "Sweetie, you can't not drink it, or you'll get a headache. If you don't drink it yourself, then I'll feed it to you."
"Hmm~~~" Shen Li let out a dissatisfied murmur, still keeping her eyes closed and refusing to cooperate.
Ming Xiangyang's smile deepened, and he said softly, "It seems that our Lili will only drink if I feed it to her."
As he spoke, he picked up the hangover soup and drank half a bowl himself.
He then bent down, gently pinched Shen Li's chin, and slowly fed her the warm soup into her mouth.
In her dazed state, Shen Li tasted the sweetness in her mouth and swallowed it subconsciously.
In no time, she finished the bowl of hangover soup.
Ming Xiangyang got up and placed the bowl on the bedside table beside him.
Turning around, he saw Lu Sheng and Lu Cheng leaning against the bathroom door, staring intently at him.
—In those eyes, there was no dissatisfaction, only a tacit understanding.
He coughed lightly and reminded her, "After she drinks the hangover soup, she should be sober in about half an hour. You guys... be gentle and don't torture her too much. She's already feeling unwell from drinking."
Regarding Shen Li's visit to KTV and his request for male models,
They all reached a consensus: she must be made to realize that this was wrong and that it must never happen again.
But Ming Xiangyang himself couldn't bring himself to be ruthless towards her, and in the end, he could only become their "accomplice".
Lu Sheng nodded, his tone calm yet firm: "Yes, I know."
Ming Xiangyang turned to leave, but Lu Sheng called him back just as he reached the door.
"Want to come together?" Lu Sheng's tone carried a hint of probing, but also a touch of tacit understanding.
—These men never hesitated to show their favoritism towards Shen Li.
Ming Xiangyang paused, shook his head, and said with a hint of helplessness, "No need. I can't bear to see her begging for mercy. I'm too soft-hearted; I can't bring myself to do it."
After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Lu Cheng glanced down at Shen Li, who was fast asleep on the bed.
A flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes, then she quickly chased after him, calling softly, "Wait for me..."
In the corridor, Ming Xiangyang stopped.
She turned to look at him, a hint of teasing in her eyes: "What? You can't bear to part with it either?"
Lu Cheng scratched his head, his tone frank.
Without any attempt to hide it, she said, "Yes, as soon as she begged me for mercy, I softened and couldn't bring myself to hurt her."
Ming Xiangyang raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile: "I'm afraid you don't want to be the bad guy, and want to leave all the 'villain' roles to Big Brother and Lu Zhou, right?"
Lu Cheng did not refute.
He shrugged, his tone tinged with resentment: "Same here, aren't you the same? Too reluctant to do it?"
Ming Xiangyang chuckled lightly, no longer teasing him: "Where are you planning to sleep? I don't want to share a room with you, sleeping next to a man, I'm not used to it."
Lu Cheng rolled his eyes, his tone smug: "Tch, who wants to squeeze in with you? I'm going to the fourth floor to sleep in Lili's spare room—it's much more comfortable there than my room."
Ming Xiangyang waved his hand: "Alright, whatever you say."
The two went back to their respective rooms, and in the bedroom,
Only Lu Sheng and Lu Zhou, who came in after washing up, remained to keep the sleeping Shen Li company.
Sure enough, just as Ming Xiangyang said, half an hour later, Shen Li slowly opened her eyes. Her hangover headache had eased considerably, but her head was still a little dizzy.
The room was dimly lit. She blinked and took a while to catch her breath.
She finally saw the people beside her clearly—Lu Sheng on her left and Lu Zhou on her right, both of them looking down at her with deep, unfathomable eyes.
Shen Li swallowed hard, her voice still a little hoarse: "Big brother, I... I want to drink some water."
Lu Sheng's tone remained gentle, without the slightest hint of anything amiss.
He got up, poured a glass of warm water, carefully helped her sit up, and handed her the glass: "Drink slowly, don't choke."
Shen Li took the cup and drank it in large gulps.
—After drinking, her mouth was dry and parched. This glass of warm water seemed to soothe her long-parched throat, making her feel much better.
