Chapter 340: Drunk

After leaving the liberal arts exam hall, Nie Yan let out a long breath. The test was worth 720 points, and he had completed it within an hour. The questions were extremely difficult, and he estimated that scoring 500 points would already be quite impressive. Many questions left him uncertain.

“How did you do?” Zhai Hao and Xia Ling approached, asking with concern.

“I heard that the passing scores for the Command Department and the Interstellar Astronautics Department in previous years were around 600 points,” Xia Ling said.

Xie Yao looked at Nie Yan with clear eyes.

“Let’s not think about it for now. It depends on luck. If I can’t get in, then it’s fine,” Nie Yan smiled. As long as he could get into the First Military Academy, he didn’t need to be too greedy about getting into a top major. He had already received the admission notice from the First Military Academy. With this notice, he was effectively registered in certain government departments, making others hesitant to mess with him. Attacking a student from the First Military Academy meant challenging its authority. Even powerful conglomerates with deep backgrounds, like the Century Conglomerate, would have to think carefully. If the First Military Academy got angry, crippling a conglomerate would be simple.

Nie Yan’s reason for entering the First Military Academy was precisely for the status it conferred. Having this status was like adding a protective umbrella, shielding him from any underhanded schemes others might attempt.

Nie Yan sent the news of his admission to the First Military Academy to his parents. His father and mother were very excited, especially his father, for whom failing to enter the First Military Academy had been a lifelong regret. Hearing that Nie Yan had been admitted, Nie Yan’s father was moved to tears, as Nie Yan had fulfilled a dream for him.

On the phone, Nie Yan could clearly hear that his father’s voice was slightly trembling. Recalling his previous life, Nie Yan thought about his father’s disappointed expression when he learned Nie Yan had not been admitted to the First Military Academy. Nie Yan was deeply moved.

Now, there were no regrets left.

Nie Yan and his friends Zhai Hao and Xia Ling went out to celebrate, had dinner, and sang some songs. During the meal, Nie Yan and Xie Yao were persuaded to drink a lot of alcohol and were slightly drunk.

The table was cluttered with dishes and glasses. Nie Yan glanced at Xie Yao beside him. Xie Yao was tipsy, her face flushed red like morning clouds, adding a touch of charm. She wasn’t wearing an overcoat, just a slightly tight white wool sweater that perfectly accentuated her figure, making her look seductive and enchanting. She was like a beautiful fairy, the center of attention wherever she went.

Originally, there were nine people, including Tang Yao, but Tang Yao had to leave early for something. The remaining people continued to have fun until around 1:00 PM, and everyone was quite happy.

When it was time to leave, classmates gradually departed, leaving only Nie Yan, Xie Yao, Zhai Hao, and Xia Ling, making the atmosphere much quieter.

Zhai Hao gave Nie Yan a meaningful look and turned to Xia Ling, saying, “Let’s go first. Let Nie Yan send Xie Yao home. Nie Yan’s car is parked downstairs.”

Xia Ling looked meaningfully at Nie Yan and Xie Yao and smiled, “Okay, we won’t disturb their private time.”

Zhai Hao and Xia Ling left together.

Nie Yan looked at Xie Yao, who was lowering her head, nervously brushing her hair behind her shoulders. The warm red light reflected on Xie Yao’s face, creating a soft, charming glow. At that moment, Xie Yao was as beautiful as a goddess.

“I’ll send you home,” Nie Yan said to Xie Yao, bowing his head.

“Okay,” Xie Yao replied. Feeling Nie Yan’s intense gaze, her heart trembled. In this small private room with only the two of them, how could she not feel nervous?

The wine was getting to his head, and as he looked at Xie Yao’s beautiful face, his gaze drifted downward. In his hazy mind, Nie Yan’s thoughts returned to scenes from the dungeon’s secret room, where the smooth, delicate, and seductive body of Yaoyao overlapped with Xie Yao’s figure. What if Xie Yao were Yaoyao… A surge of heat rose from Nie Yan’s lower abdomen, and he was momentarily transported back to his previous life.

“Xie Yao,” Nie Yan murmured hoarsely. Instinctively, he wrapped his arm around her waist. He clearly felt Xie Yao’s body stiffen slightly, and she struggled a bit.

A familiar sensation stirred Nie Yan’s nerves. It was such a distant yet familiar feeling.

Possibly due to the heavy influence of alcohol, Nie Yan’s mind buzzed, and emotions from two lifetimes surged forth at this moment. Nie Yan embraced Xie Yao, pressing her onto the sofa and kissing her lips, a smooth and soft sensation flooding his mind.

Nie Yan’s mind was filled with images of the secret room in the dungeon, dominated by pure desire. (Wen-Ren-Shu-Wu WR SHU)

Xie Yao didn’t understand the depth of Nie Yan’s feelings for her.

Everything happened too quickly. Xie Yao frantically pushed against Nie Yan’s chest with both hands, but her strength was insufficient to resist him. Once Nie Yan held her tightly, she felt her whole body go weak, with no strength left.

Nie Yan’s hands roamed over her body, her perky chest, her toned and long legs from practicing taekwondo, and then slipped under Xie Yao’s wool sweater.

Xie Yao felt Nie Yan’s large hand moving over her body. As his hands touched her skin, moving upward from her abdomen, her heart almost leaped from her chest. She struggled violently, but her resistance was futile.

She didn’t know how long Nie Yan would continue teasing her, and Xie Yao felt anxious and flustered.

Nie Yan’s hands moved over Xie Yao’s smooth shoulders, about to unclasp her bra. Suddenly, Xie Yao’s reaction became intense.

Although Xie Yao’s heart was tied to Nie Yan, this was happening too fast for her.

Nie Yan, under the influence of alcohol, suddenly regained clarity in his mind. He abruptly realized that he had gone too far. He sat up, shook his head, feeling a bit dizzy. Looking at Xie Yao, her clothes were somewhat disheveled, and a large area of her abdomen was exposed.

Xie Yao quickly sat up, straightened her clothes, and thought about what had just happened, feeling deeply embarrassed. She dared not look Nie Yan in the eyes.

“Sorry, I was drunk just now and acted impulsively,” Nie Yan apologized, mainly because the possibility that Yaoyao and Xie Yao might be the same person had greatly shocked him. Offending Xie Yao like this, if she developed a bad impression of him, it would be a great loss.

Xie Yao’s pretty face was burning hot as she looked at Nie Yan and said, “Nie Yan, can you take me home?” Although Xie Yao was a bit angry about Nie Yan’s sudden advances, seeing his apologetic expression, her anger subsided.

“Okay,” Nie Yan stood up.

Xie Yao adjusted her disheveled clothes, stood up straight, and suddenly felt her legs go weak, nearly sitting back down.

Nie Yan quickly supported Xie Yao.

“I’m drunk, my head’s a bit dizzy,” Xie Yao tried to cover her embarrassment. Her whole body felt weak, with no strength left.

“I’ll carry you out. I have some hangover medicine in my car,” Nie Yan said. Taking some hangover medicine in the car would make everything okay.

“No, that’s not necessary,” Xie Yao quickly shook her head. Being carried out in public by someone would cause too much attention.

Nie Yan looked at Xie Yao with a cheerful smile, turned around, and carried Xie Yao on his back.

Xie Yao gasped, her heart racing, but soon she calmed down a bit, leaning against Nie Yan’s broad back, feeling a sense of security.

Nie Yan carried Xie Yao to the car. After both of them took some hangover medicine, they felt much better.

They sat silently in the car, an intimate atmosphere spreading between them. What had just happened left both feeling embarrassed.

“Let’s go,” Xie Yao said softly. At this moment, she didn’t know how to face Nie Yan.

“Okay, where do you live?” Nie Yan started the car, speeding down the wide street.

“Bishui Yunjian community.”

After Xie Yao spoke, Nie Yan was momentarily stunned. Bishui Yunjian? Wasn’t that where he lived? Thinking about it, it made sense. Bishui Yunjian was the top villa community in Huanghai City, built around a lake with beautiful scenery. Usually, people of wealth would choose to live in that area.

Nie Yan’s father had bought a villa in Bishui Yunjian for a purpose. Bishui Yunjian often held banquets, and living there made it convenient to socialize with the wealthy, opening up connections. There was a saying: the closer you live to the elite, the closer you are to success. It was normal for Xie Yao’s family, being so wealthy, to have a house in Bishui Yunjian. Bishui Yunjian was large, and Xie Yao’s home wasn’t very close to his. Otherwise, they would have met in their previous life.

“My home is also in Bishui Yunjian.”

“Really?” Xie Yao asked in surprise.

“You can visit my home often in the future.”

“Okay, I can meet your parents then.”

Nie Yan and Xie Yao chatted as the car drove toward Xie Yao’s home. As Nie Yan had expected, Xie Yao’s home wasn’t very close to his. They were on opposite sides of the lake, one exiting from the south gate and the other from the west gate. No wonder they hadn’t met in their previous life.

Nie Yan dropped Xie Yao off at her home, watching her walk through the door before driving back.

Back home, Nie Yan’s father and mother had invited relatives and friends to celebrate. Nie Yan was showered with praise from his relatives, and both Nie Yan’s parents felt proud.

The lively gathering lasted for two hours before everyone went their separate ways.

Nie Yan’s father looked radiant as he discussed business matters with Nie Yan. Due to the fallout between the Tuoba family and the Century Conglomerate, with both sides sabotaging each other, he had seized the opportunity to invest a large sum of money, profiting significantly when Tuoba Hongye sold his shares. The total amount of funds Nie Yan’s father held had reached an astonishing level.

Nie Yan analyzed the situation, realizing that his father had severely damaged Tuoba Hongye, indirectly helping Tuoba Shi. The internal affairs of the Tuoba family were far from over.

“Tell me, what should we do next?” Nie Yan’s father looked at him, eager to hear his thoughts.

“The Tuoba family has suffered a heavy blow, and the Century Conglomerate hasn’t gained much either. The Century Conglomerate has invested heavily in several guilds within Faith, making them our important future competitors. Why don’t we take this opportunity to acquire more shares of the Century Conglomerate? It might yield unexpected benefits in the future.”

Nie Yan’s father thought for a moment. What Nie Yan said did make some sense, but the specific details and directions still needed careful consideration.
