Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 40
by Little Panda《Little Jumping Frog》 VS 《Brave》……?
Pei Xuezhi had a cool body temperature that felt just right against the feverishly drunk Fu Chaoyun, who let out a contented hum.
The voice that had been so fierce when confronting Qin Zhenyan earlier was now soft and incredibly coquettish.
How could there be such a flirtatious alpha?
Pei Xuezhi thought to herself.
Little did she know, Fu Chaoyun kept leaning into Pei Xuezhi’s hands because it felt comfortable, wanting that cool temperature to cover more of her head. Under the overhead lights, her gaze when looking at Pei Xuezhi was incredibly soft and clear.
“Dealing with a drunk person isn’t easy, let me help—”
As Qin Zhenyan reached out his hand from the side, Fu Chaoyun immediately slapped it away. Her drunk, hazy eyes stared at him for a moment before looking away as if unable to bear the sight.
“No!”
Oh, her movements were quite quick this time, and her tone was fierce again.
Qin Zhenyan tried to be patient, “Miss Fu…”
“You’re old and ugly, stay away from me~!”
While speaking, Fu Chaoyun’s hands were flailing about, creating a three-dimensional defense, physically expressing her rejection of Qin Zhenyan’s entire being.
This really angered Qin Zhenyan quite a bit. Earlier when they were trading barbs, it was “hiding needles in cotton” [meaning: being subtly aggressive], but Fu Chaoyun had never been this direct even when being impolite.
He suspected someone was pretending to be drunk and causing trouble!
But he wasn’t the only one who thought so; Pei Xuezhi’s gaze also fell on Fu Chaoyun, deep and profound, as if investigating something.
When Fu Chaoyun looked up and met her eyes, her fierce expression instantly melted away, and she acted sweet and soft, “Beautiful one, pretty sister… feels nice… cuddle cuddle~”
Perhaps considering her drunken state, Pei Xuezhi didn’t push her away. Her hand was held by Fu Chaoyun, and the drunk’s body temperature was even hotter and more scalding than usual, while she served as her ice pack and cooling patch.
Pei Xuezhi looked back at Qin Zhenyan, “No need.”
Qin Zhenyan: “…”
How frustrating, he could tell Fu Chaoyun was faking it!
Seeing Qin Zhenyan’s poor expression, Qi Changfeng, as Fu Chaoyun’s good brother, immediately stepped in to smooth things over.
“It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. She’s drunk and you’re sober, so don’t argue with a drunk person.”
Qin Zhenyan: “…”
Was it too late for him to abandon his dignity as a grown man and act foolish like Fu Chaoyun?
At this point, everyone’s looks toward Fu Chaoyun were quite complex and difficult to describe.
One drink… no, getting drunk after just two sips? So when Pei Xuezhi told her to drink O-zai, she was actually looking out for her, not mocking her?
They had misjudged her.
Then, everyone’s gazes turned toward Tang Ying.
“Didn’t she used to have a good alcohol tolerance?”
Tang Ying felt wrongly accused too. In her high school memories, while Fu Chaoyun’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t exceptional, she certainly wouldn’t get drunk so easily.
But looking at Fu Chaoyun’s current state, she began to doubt herself, as if her memories were confused.
“I think… it was good?”
“She got drunk after just two sips,” someone reminded.
“…”
“Maybe it’s because she hasn’t drunk for too long and isn’t used to it anymore.” That was the only explanation Tang Ying could offer. She and Pei Xuezhi sat on either side of Fu Chaoyun, and she leaned in to gently shake her.
“Ah Yun, are you really drunk?”
Fu Chaoyun turned to look at her once, “Ugly.”
Tang Ying: “…”
Fine, now she also thought Fu Chaoyun was faking drunk for revenge!!!
However, Dr. Jian ultimately confirmed that Fu Chaoyun was genuinely drunk. As for why she got drunk after barely touching alcohol… it could only be explained as a physical constitution issue.
Though drunk, she didn’t show the typical signs of a stiff neck and flushed face, nor did she break out in spots and rashes.
Her originally snow-white translucent skin now showed a slight pink tinge as her whole body heated up.
“Face and peach blossoms reflect each other’s redness.” [poetic description of beauty]
Fu Chaoyun wasn’t a rowdy drunk either, just that her intelligence seemed to have dropped significantly, now appearing like a 3-5 year old. She only knew to stick to Pei Xuezhi, occasionally making whimpering sounds, being unusually clingy and demanding.
“Let’s take her to rest on the side,” Pei Xuezhi said, standing up.
“I’m done eating, let’s go together.”
Qin Zhenyan immediately followed.
Actually, by this time, everyone had finished their hotpot. Seeing that a dramatic confrontation between the three was about to unfold, with a drunk person who could unleash powerful moves at any moment, how could they miss such entertainment?
So the others also stood up, saying they were finished, even the new guest group responsible for cleaning up tonight agreed.
The table could be cleared slowly, but they couldn’t miss the show!
Thus, the nine people moved from the dining room to the living room sofas.
Fu Chaoyun pulled Pei Xuezhi to sit on the two-seater sofa where they had watched movies last week, also known as the couple’s seat.
Though they were an alpha and omega respectively, they were both women after all – having at least one matching gender made them naturally closer than two opposing genders.
The “good brother” relationship between Fu Chaoyun and Qi Changfeng was similar.
Qin Zhenyan wanted to squeeze in too, but the space was too small, and being a male alpha, plus his own established image wouldn’t allow him to be so thick-skinned, so he could only settle for sitting on the long sofa beside them.
“If she’s seriously drunk, shouldn’t we take her to the hospital? Some alphas can become violent when drunk…”
Before Pei Xuezhi could speak, Fu Chaoyun looked up, and upon seeing Qin Zhenyan, her eyes showed extreme discomfort as if she’d eaten something spicy, then she waved her hands around like swatting flies.
“Ahhhhh why is this old and ugly one here again? Like a lingering ghost ahhhhh! Beautiful one, save me!”
Saying this, she threw herself into Pei Xuezhi’s arms, all soft and fragrant, making Fu Chaoyun instantly forget her previous displeasure, even letting out a contented sigh.
Even more provocative.
Qin Zhenyan: “…”
The gentlemanly smile on Qin Zhenyan’s face almost cracked.
“I think Ah Yun is quite well-behaved, she just… just doesn’t like you. Have some self-awareness and don’t provoke her.”
Qi Changfeng stepped forward to mediate, taking two steps forward to look at his good brother who was clinging to Pei Xuezhi like a koala, “Ah Yun, do you still recognize me?”
Fu Chaoyun “took time from her busy schedule” to glance at him, “Hmm~”
“Who am I?” Qi Changfeng got excited!
Fu Chaoyun whined, “Stupid straight alpha.”
Qi Changfeng: “…”
She really was attacking everyone indiscriminately except Pei Xuezhi?!!!
Qi Changfeng felt complicated. At this moment, Fu Chaoyun was pushed up by Pei Xuezhi to sit properly, leaving the beauty’s embrace. She looked a bit wronged, and looking at Qi Changfeng in front of her, she found him increasingly irritating.
“Stand still! Stop swaying around!”
Qi Changfeng, who had been standing motionless: “?”
“I’m drunk, not stupid, don’t try to fool me, stop swaying!”
As Fu Chaoyun spoke, she still held Pei Xuezhi’s hand, guiding it to her temple, her amber eyes fluttering pitifully, “It hurts… beautiful one, massage it~”
Pei Xuezhi glanced at her without moving.
Fu Chaoyun’s expression grew more wronged, just as Qi Changfeng’s voice came.
“I’m not moving at all.”
“You’re lying!” Fu Chaoyun turned her head, fierce again.
Pei Xuezhi held down the drunk who couldn’t tell friend from foe, her cool voice rising, “He’s not lying to you.”
Though Fu Chaoyun attacked everyone indiscriminately while drunk, she always maintained a softness towards Pei Xuezhi, using every trick to act cute and obedient in front of her.
Now she frowned, as if encountering some earth-shattering problem, then her eyes suddenly lit up—everyone seemed to see a small light bulb illuminate beside her head.
Then, she started swaying on her own, speaking while swaying, “Hmm… this feels much better…”
Everyone: “…”
In the end, Pei Xuezhi had to hold her still, giving a look to the person across from her. Helplessly, Qi Changfeng could only play along with the drunk’s pace, swaying away step by step.
“Miss Fu.” Fu Li suddenly spoke up.
Since last week’s negative online comments, he had been playing the role of an invisible person in the villa, and hadn’t dared to provoke Fu Chaoyun since. This was the first time he’d actively spoken to her in recent days.
While Pei Xuezhi was holding someone down, she gave another look, and Fu Li immediately started swaying while talking to Fu Chaoyun.
“What’s one plus one?”
Tsk—
Wasn’t this taking advantage of someone while they’re drunk!
Fu Chaoyun was quite comfortable now. Though Pei Xuezhi wouldn’t let her directly pounce for hugs and cuddles, some minor behaviors were still allowed.
Now she held the beauty’s hand, feeling the cool, pleasant sensation, soon even making Pei Xuezhi warm up a bit, though Fu Chaoyun no longer felt unbearably hot.
Sometimes she’d hold Pei Xuezhi’s hand in her palm, playing with those jade-like slender fingers, sometimes spreading them to interlock their fingers…
She never tired of it, as if it was the world’s best toy.
Hearing Fu Li’s words, Fu Chaoyun rolled her eyes and threw the question right back, “What’s one plus one?”
Fu Li: “…Huh?”
“I’m the one testing you now!” Fu Chaoyun said fiercely, turning the tables. While Fu Li was still stunned, she sneered with contempt, “Heh, worse than an elementary school student.”
Fu Li: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Well, her intelligence was still fluctuating, but even drunk, she wasn’t easy to bully.
Fu Chaoyun’s triple combo attack, while teasing a drunk person might be fun, you had to consider the relative strengths! No one dared to provoke Fu Chaoyun anymore.
Tang Ying came out from the kitchen and felt the heavy atmosphere in the living room.
After all, she was Fu Chaoyun’s ex-girlfriend and had made her stance clear when she first arrived, so she had to show some concern. She had quickly searched Baidu [Chinese search engine] and made Fu Chaoyun some honey water.
“Ah Yun, drink some honey water to help with the alcohol.”
Tang Ying held out the cup, and this time Pei Xuezhi didn’t say anything, but precisely because of this, Fu Chaoyun seemed to sense some kind of crisis.
“No!”
Tang Ying tilted her head, “?”
“You’re not pretty, don’t want you, want…” Fu Chaoyun’s eyes were still unfocused, searching around, then turning back to see Pei Xuezhi, instantly breaking into a sweet smile, “want Zhizhi to make it for me~”
“I don’t know how.” Pei Xuezhi said, her gaze still cool.
The drunk Fu Chaoyun processed information much slower, taking two or three seconds to react, “Oh oh,” she said twice, “Zhizhi can’t cook, I remember… then, then…”
She said “then” several times, her eyes full of little stars, “then I’ll make it for Zhizhi?”
As she spoke, the drunk swayed as she tried to stand up, looking like she really intended to follow through!
But before she could take two steps, Pei Xuezhi pulled her back down. Fu Chaoyun seemed to lose her balance and was about to fall into Pei Xuezhi’s arms, but the latter seemed to anticipate this and dodged to the side, causing Fu Chaoyun to fall into the sofa instead.
The sofa was soft and well-made, so she wasn’t hurt anywhere, but she still let out a small “awoo” like a little beast, clearly dissatisfied.
This time Pei Xuezhi ignored her, taking the honey water from Tang Ying, “Thank you.”
Tang Ying was stunned for a moment, “…You’re welcome?”
It wasn’t until Pei Xuezhi turned to feed it to the pretend-crying person that Tang Ying, quietly leaving the scene, suddenly realized—
Damn, she’d been used as a tool!
While Pei Xuezhi took over the ex-girlfriend’s task, she was far less attentive than Tang Ying, simply holding the cup in front of Fu Chaoyun without any of the gentleness or patience used when coaxing children.
“Drink.” Simple and direct.
“Did Zhizhi make it?” Fu Chaoyun didn’t mind, stopping her fussing as soon as she saw Pei Xuezhi. Though her eyes were still drunk, they sparkled while looking at the other person, showing great anticipation.
“No.”
“Oh~~”
Her tone dropped in disappointment, but since it was from the beautiful one, she’d make do. Fu Chaoyun reached out as if to take it, Pei Xuezhi moved it forward slightly, but just out of reach, and Fu Chaoyun flopped back onto the sofa in an awkward pose.
“Ah~ No strength, can’t hold it.”
Everyone: “…” Could this act be any more fake?
“Zhizhi, feed me, let me drink.”
Pei Xuezhi glanced at Fu Chaoyun before sitting back down, and finally Fu Chaoyun clung to her hand, taking small sips.
After drinking half the cup, she stopped, “Zhizhi, it’s sweet, tastes good.”
Pei Xuezhi looked at her, saying coolly, “Your ex-girlfriend made it ‘specially’ for you.”
Fu Chaoyun blinked, suddenly pressing her head, looking very confused and troubled, “‘Ex-girlfriend’… what’s that?”
Seeing Pei Xuezhi put the cup back on the coffee table, she pounced again with a “pah,” “Mmm… can’t remember anyway, I have Zhizhi now, Zhizhi, pretty, beautiful… having Zhizhi is enough~”
Pei Xuezhi’s lips curled slightly, seemingly in a cold smile.
Really good at playing dumb.
Fu Chaoyun saw this and poked the beauty’s cheek again, “Zhizhi, are you unhappy now?”
Pei Xuezhi lowered her eyes, gently concealing her expression, “No.”
Fu Chaoyun thought for a moment, who knows if she believed it or not, then after a while, she said, “Then to prove Zhizhi isn’t mad at me, let me hear you sing.”
“…”
After a pause, Pei Xuezhi asked, “Why should I?”
“Because I’m drunk.” Fu Chaoyun leaned her head on Pei Xuezhi’s shoulder, nuzzling against her coquettishly, “Who argues with a drunk person…”
Pei Xuezhi: “…”
Others: “…”
Oh, now she admits to being drunk.
Fu Chaoyun poked Pei Xuezhi’s soft, cool arm, starting to request songs like a remote control, “I’ll punish Zhizhi by making you sing 《Little Jumping Frog》!”
Such audacity!
Pei Xuezhi expressionlessly pushed Fu Chaoyun away, “I don’t know how.”
Fu Chaoyun looked up at her, seeming to assess and condemn: You don’t even know such a simple song? Tsk tsk tsk~
“Then what can Zhizhi sing?”
“I can’t sing anything.”
Fu Chaoyun clearly didn’t believe it – even drunk people have their pride! But when she looked up at Pei Xuezhi’s face—
“Fine… fine.” She gave a light huff, “You’re pretty so you decide, no… won’t argue with you.”
After saying this, she whimpered twice more. The drunk Three-year-old Fu considered herself magnanimous and waited for Pei Xuezhi to coax her, but waited and waited with no response.
Looking again, Pei Xuezhi was already ignoring her.
No choice, the pitiful Three-year-old Fu had to move closer again, “condescending” to say, “Then shall I sing for Zhizhi?”
This time, Pei Xuezhi didn’t refuse.
“I’ll sing it once as an example, Zhizhi you must remember it well, there’ll be a test later!” Fu Chaoyun gave herself a way out, lightly coughing twice.
Although during this time she had only been interacting with Pei Xuezhi, and everyone else in the living room was busy with their own things, they were all eating melon, keeping some attention here.
Now hearing that Fu Chaoyun was going to sing, everyone perked up their ears, waiting expectantly.
Fu Chaoyun’s cheeks were flushed red, like snow stained with rouge, clearly looking extremely beautiful, but now that she said she would perform, combined with her fluctuating drunk intelligence, it suddenly felt like watching a kindergartener’s performance.
In front of Pei Xuezhi and all the cameras, everyone’s attention converged as Fu Chaoyun parted her red lips.
“The happy pond has been planted, dreams turn into an ocean…” [From 《Little Jumping Frog》]
As Fu Chaoyun’s singing began, silence fell around her. While those present couldn’t speak directly due to various considerations, the livestream viewers had no such restraints, and the danmu exploded!
【This…】
【Someone below…】
【The person below can’t either, they’re laughing uncontrollably hahaha!】
【Let me say it! Fu Chaoyun’s speaking voice is usually quite nice, how come when singing, not a single note is in tune? And this is just a children’s song!】
【I thought it was ridiculous enough that she chose a children’s song instead of a love song when drunk, but it got even more absurd! I was too hasty…】
【Actually, choosing a children’s song might be better – if she sang a love song, she might lose her wife completely.】
【Fu Chaoyun: I predicted your predictions! Bet you didn’t expect that.jpg】
【Sorry, my head is just full of “hahaha—”】
As the song ended, even the air was silent, until someone finally couldn’t hold back their laughter. The scattered laughter spread like wildfire, filling the living room with merry atmosphere.
Qin Zhenyan, who had been constantly rebuked, dared to speak again, looking at Fu Chaoyun meaningfully, “Miss Fu’s singing is quite… unique…”
“Ahhh the annoying fly is back again!” Fu Chaoyun covered her ears, refusing to listen.
Qin Zhenyan: “…”
Though Fu Chaoyun’s reactions were slow, she hadn’t become stupid!
She noticed others’ reactions, but the song wasn’t for them anyway, so she didn’t care how they responded!
Only Pei Xuezhi mattered!
Thinking this, Fu Chaoyun’s expression changed again when looking at Pei Xuezhi.
Her amber eyes sparkled, more intoxicating than the wine she’d just drunk, with a hint of expectation, like a puppy seeking praise.
Pei Xuezhi didn’t speak, but her lips seemed to curl slightly before quickly smoothing out, like spring water leaving no trace.
Was that disapproval?
Fu Chaoyun frowned, somewhat dissatisfied. She’d tried so hard, why wasn’t Zhizhi happy yet?
Then her alcohol-addled brain slowly turned once more, and she began again.
“Love you walking alone in dark alleys, love your unbowing stance…” [From 《Brave》]
【Hahaha definitely a grade schooler!】
【The song choice is spot on! 《Little Jumping Frog》 isn’t popular in kindergartens anymore, but my 5-year-old niece sings this, and according to her, all the kids in her class love it!】
【《Brave》- kindergarteners’ and elementary schoolers’ favorite!】
【I have to say, this song’s difficulty level is way too high for Fu Chaoyun. We can all see the effort she’s making to please Pei Xuezhi…】
【What effort? You mean singing off-key?】
【Stop the hate, at least she challenged herself! Some people just don’t understand!! (dog head emoji)】
【Thank you, 《Little Jumping Frog》!】
【My review: No technique, all feeling!】
This time Fu Chaoyun stopped after two lines, again looking at Pei Xuezhi with sparkling eyes.
Pei Xuezhi turned her head away.
She refused to acknowledge the signal!!
Fu Chaoyun wasn’t ready to give up, continuing to sing, “Love you facing despair, refusing to cry!!” [From 《Brave》]
As the danmu said, her singing was all emotion, and only emotion, but at this moment, the lyrics seemed to resonate with her personally, carrying a sense of passionate encouragement!
Gradually, others in the room stopped laughing.
Looking at the protagonist trying to curry favor, Pei Xuezhi seemed affected by Fu Chaoyun’s “enthusiasm,” finally breaking her composure, turning back and reaching out to cover the mouth of the person who was wailing like a ghost and wolf [terrible singing].
The drunk’s lips were burning hot, and when her palm touched them, along with those eyes staring at her, it was as if they could melt a person and merge them together.
Making her become part of herself, becoming her possession.
How could there be such a person, such an alpha?
Pei Xuezhi pressed her lips together forcefully, as if sighing, as if surrendering.
“You… sang very well.”
After receiving the praise, Fu Chaoyun’s eyes were like a sky full of stars, suddenly lit up in the darkness, completely taking in the person before her.
Pei Xuezhi’s next words, “Don’t sing again next time.”
“…?”
Fu Chaoyun tilted her head, seeming confused.
“Never mind, do as you please.”
Pei Xuezhi’s voice remained cool, even seemingly flat and undisturbed, but in those clear black eyes looking at Fu Chaoyun, there was a hint of scattered laughter, faint yet so clear.
…Unmistakable to anyone.
