"Ah!" Ou Yue felt her right leg give way, and her body couldn't support itself as she fell forward, involuntarily letting out a startled cry.

Everything spun around in front of him, and he tightly closed his eyes, mentally preparing himself for the impact of hitting the ground. However, the expected pain never came. He opened his eyes belatedly, only to realize that he had already fallen into a wide and firm embrace.

"What are you up to?" Randell's impatient voice rang out from above. Eu Yue's whole body trembled as if being shocked by electricity. He didn't want him to notice his abnormality, so Eu Yue pretended to calm down, took a step back, and stood upright.

Leaving the firm embrace of Randall's strong arms, there was a strange emptiness in his heart. His vision was still spinning, just like a moment ago. He had no choice but to forcefully lower his head slightly, letting his bangs hide his eyes.

"Maybe it's because of being drunk. Thank you, Wang, for stepping in earlier to help..." Ou Yue continued trying to explain, oblivious to the fact that her pale face lacked any convincing power.

Randall pursed his lips, his gaze gradually becoming deep and mysterious.

"Go back and rest."

"Ah... I'm fine, I just didn't pay attention earlier," Ou Yue raised her head and, squinting her scattered eyes, looked at Randall. "Let's keep going..."

"Shut up." Randall frowned and looked at him, "What's the use of having a drunkard with me?"

Eu Yue's heart skipped a beat. Although she couldn't see Randall's face clearly, she was certain that his handsome face was now filled with coldness and discontent.

What's the point of being unable to do anything for him...

He took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Well...you're right. If I were to go now, I would only cause more trouble. I'll excuse myself for now..."

Randall snorted coldly, regarding it as a reluctant agreement.

Frowning, she looked at the black-haired youth who was still standing there in a daze, his head lowered. Snowflakes fell without restraint, accumulating on his black hair and coat, making him look like a large dog abandoned by its owner.

Randall awkwardly averted his gaze and said in a low voice, "Why don't you go back first? Are you waiting for me to carry you?"

"Ah..." Ou Yue muttered vaguely in response. He desperately wanted to turn around and leave, but his limbs felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, his whole body turned weak, and it was already a great struggle just to remain standing.

What on earth has happened to me... Ouyue struggled to search through her muddled mind for recent events, but she was completely at a loss.

"Wang, you go ahead and busy yourself..." Ou Yue clenched her fists tightly, "I'll stay here and sober up before leaving..."

Randall looked at the person in front of him with a very unusual expression on their face. He hesitated, feeling annoyed, and pulled the person into his arms, sensing the cold temperature of Eurice's body. He angrily exclaimed, "Damn it, what the hell happened to you!"

"I don't know, I might be drunk..." Ou Yue's legs went weak. Although his current physical condition was not quite normal, his consciousness was relatively clear. Just the thought of leaning on Randall's shoulder made his body involuntarily stiffen.

Pressing his face against the smooth fabric of his windbreaker, he felt a chilly touch that mirrored the impression he had of this person. A shiver ran through his body, sending a cold sensation deep within him.

"Shut up." Randall didn't want to listen to his clumsy "drunk" excuse anymore. The way he looked now, it was clear that it couldn't have been caused by drinking.

Randall impatiently clicked his tongue and lifted the person horizontally.

Ouyue's height of around 1.78 meters is not particularly petite. However, at this moment, he is held in someone's embrace, resembling a delicate woman. In that moment of weightlessness, he instinctively clutches Randall's collar, breathing heavily. As he realizes the position he's in, his body stiffens involuntarily and his mind goes blank.

If the members of the assassination team had seen this scene, they would definitely think they were going crazy. Their captain, who always killed without hesitation, was actually being intimately held in the arms of their irritable and indifferent leader, Wang, in the most tacky princess carry...

Between breaths, there was the scent of Randall's body. A few strands of his orange-red curly hair gently rested on his shoulder. Ouyue gazed at it in a daze, then controlled her mouth from splitting up to her ears. She tried to relax her body, leaning peacefully against Randall's chest, subtly rubbing her face against those few strands of curly hair.

"Don't move."

Randall felt the complete trust and reliance from the person in his arms, so he lightened his tone. However, he suddenly realized that he had inexplicably developed a strange tender emotion, which made him feel irritated.

"Take it."

Ralph rudely stuffed the umbrella into Eu Yue's arms. Eu Yue held onto the black umbrella with both hands, and the broad canopy shielded them from the abundant snowflakes falling from above. It also isolated them from the outside world, blocking out any sounds. Their breaths mingled together, and each could distinctly hear the other's.

Eu Yue closed her eyes, even though when she opened them again her vision remained blurry. Her mind was still muddled and her neck throbbed with a burning pain. But there was a heavy and satisfying feeling in her heart, as if something had overflowed with fulfillment.
