You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 636 There’s Hope For Them

By the time Leon took out his phone to check his WeChat again, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

The city's busy nightlife had started. Lights were everywhere, just like stars scattered in the sky. Long lines of vehicles had formed a jam that extended as far as the eye could see, and the traffic lights at the intersections never stopped changing.

He walked with Bryant and Wynn in tow, leaving the hotel where they'd just attended a dinner party.

Since it was a party, it was inevitable for Leon to have some drinks. However, he'd been drinking ever since he stepped into the legal age, so he had a good alcohol tolerance. Besides, with Bryant and Wynn by his sides, he could share the burden-they'd socialized and drunk with some of his acquaintances on his behalf. Thus, he was only a little drunk. His drunkenness was so light that a blow of cold wind could easily sweep it away.

Bryant, on the other hand, was quite drunk. His face was a little flushed, and although he managed to keep his back straight and retain the smile on his face when he left the venue, his steps were obviously unsteady. Fortunately, Wynn wasn't drunk and dragged him away before someone noticed how drunk he was.

The moment they were out of the hotel, he put his arm on Wynn's shoulder to steady himself.

"Bryant, how can you suck so much at drinking?" Wynn looked at him in disgust but didn't push him away.

"The drinking culture here is scary. When I have the time, I must get to know more about it! Otherwise, I'll keep getting wasted in the future." Bryant waved his hand exasperatedly and belched. Wynn frowned in disgust.

At that moment, Leon, who hadn't been paying any attention to the two guys, happened to click on the voice message he got from Michelle.

"Leon, is there any exercise that fits lazy people?"

The girl's soft voice rang from the phone. Although it sounded as sweet as cotton candy in his ears, he could still detect some complaint and dissatisfaction in her tone. Leon could vividly imagine Michelle's cute, naive looks when she sent the voice message to him.

He couldn't help but chuckle. "Exercise that fits lazy people? How imaginative!"

"Exercises for the lazy? It's simple. Tell her to just lie still and let you do the moving." Bryant was drunk. He spoke without filtering his words and even snickered at Leon. Any man could immediately understand what he meant.

Wynn was practically suffocating with anger. Alcohol was really not a good thing! Even a gentleman like Bryant would show his true character once he got drunk. Upon noticing the frown on Leon's face, Wynn immediately pushed Bryant away and winked at him desperately.

'Wake up!

Do you fucking know who you are talking to?!'

Bryant staggered back. The moment he saw Leon's face, he sobered up in an instant.

"No, that's not what I meant." He hurriedly regained his footing and stood straight. His mind was already clear, but his body was still wobbly. He looked just like a tumbler doll.

Leon knew he was drunk, so he didn't blame him. "She's my sister. Don't spout nonsense."

"Princess Nina?" Bryant's eyes widened in shock. In the next second, however, his shock turned into disbelief. He turned to Wynn and whispered doubtfully, "Does Princess Nina usually talk to Leon that way? Is she really that girly?"

This was just too different from the Nina he knew.

It was almost like they were two totally different people.

When Leon saw Bryant's expression, he knew that Bryant had misunderstood him, so he explained calmly, "She's not actually my sister. She's my sister's friend."

"Okay." That made sense. The night wind as well as his fear of Leon had practically blown all Bryant's drunkenness away. Once he comprehended what Leon meant, he couldn't help but say, "She isn't your sister, so what's..."

'the problem?'

The faint smile on Leon's face forced Bryant to swallow back the last couple of words he was going to say. He then guiltily turned his head to look at the long lines of vehicles on the road.

On the other hand, Wynn felt like he got an epiphany. The gears in his head were turning at a lightning speed.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Bryant said. Besides, he was just answering your question, not asking you to do it. Of course, you can have a go at it if you like," Wynn said to Leon.

"Wynn Luo." Leon had always spoken in a gentle tone, so it was always hard to tell whether he was angry or not. Other people refrained from showing their emotions by being cold and unapproachable, but Leon hid his emotions by always putting on a smile on his face.

He looked gentle, harmless, and he could even come off as seductive and a little sly.

Just like a cunning fox.

But Wynn had grown up with him, so he could naturally detect the subtle change in his expression.

Calling him by his full name was a sign that Leon was pissed.

However, the two of them had always treated each other as brothers in private, so even though Wynn clearly knew Leon was angry, he wasn't at all afraid.

"I had no bad intention. Just forget it if you don't like it."

Wynn really hoped Leon would listen to him. How good it'd be if one day Leon and Michelle really fell in love with each other? They could put the exercise for the lazy into action.

There must be reasons why Michelle treated Leon so well.

He couldn't help but snicker at that thought. At this moment, he looked even more wasted than the drunk Bryant.

Leon no longer paid them any attention. He knew that Wynn and Bryant were worried about him.

He naturally knew why Wynn was worried. As for Bryant, the matter about Valerie had kind of become a thorn in Bryant's heart-Bryant always felt guilty to him. The two of them had tried every means to match him with others. Almost all the girls on C Island, who looked good and came from good families, had had dinner with him.

He only met each one once, though.

He didn't want to waste his friends' good intentions, but he didn't want to give any vain hope to those girls either. After they had dinner, he always made things clear to them and never contacted them again. Although he was already used to what they were doing, for some reason, hearing them dragging Michelle into their plan made him rather uncomfortable. A frown was inadvertently formed on his brows. "She's different from the women you introduced to me before. She's just a naive girl who knows nothing." Leon then shifted his gaze to Wynn. "You, in particular, should watch what you say. We can talk about whatever we want in private, but don't drag her into it.

After all, in her eyes, I'm very decent."

He straightened his clothes and smiled. Wynn rolled his eyes. "Yes. I know she thinks you're an outstanding brother."

"It's good that you know it." Leon smiled. "I'm going back. Wynn, send Bryant back home. Don't forget what I told you to do."

Every time Leon brought the matter up, Wynn always pulled a long face. "I won't forget it. You'd better leave now."

When Leon was about to leave, however, Bryant suddenly stopped him. "Wait! Leon, do you have any money to take a taxi home? Where's my card anyway? Wynn, could you check my wallet and see if the card's in there? If it is, give it to Leon."

"No, thanks," Leon said proudly. "I have someone providing for me. I have money."

Although it was only eight hundred dollars, it was still money. It should be enough for him to take a taxi home.

Bryant was stunned. "Who can afford to provide for you?"

Wynn asked in surprise, "Is Michelle a rich woman?"

"Yes, she's much more successful than you. She has savings." Leon couldn't help but laugh when he recalled how Michelle vowed to use the savings of hers to provide for him.

Even long after Leon left, Bryant and Wynn were still in a daze.

Bryant nudged Wynn with his elbow and asked in a rather slurred voice, "Is Leon really being provided for by someone?"

"Yep! When faced with a female college student, other people usually become the provider. Leon, on the other hand, has become the one being provided for. This is really shameful." Wynn rubbed his chin, seemingly pondering something. Before long, his eyes lit up. "Do you think there's hope for them?"

"It's hard to say, but Leon seems to treat her different."

"What do you mean?"

Bryant took a moment to answer. "He's never stopped you from discussing sex in private. Just now, however, he told you not to drag her into your discussion. It's kind of like he's become territorial." Wynn's eyes lit up. "So there's hope for them? Yes, there's definitely hope! I'll try harder to match them up."

Bryant shook his head. "Unfortunately..."

Wynn waited for a long time for Bryant to finish his sentence, but it was to no avail. He swung a kick at Bryant's leg in anger. "Unfortunately what?" "Unfortunately!" Bryant was still drunk, so the sudden increase of his volume easily attracted the attention of the people around them.

"You're really wasted. Come on, finish your sentence. Unfortunately what?" Wynn dragged him away.

Bryant shook Wynn's hands off. "Foxes are extremely territorial. They pee to mark their territory. Remember how he used to treat my cousin?" "Don't mention Valerie in front of me!" Wynn snapped.
