Pfft!
Pfft!
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze spat out their drinks at the same time and looked at Chen Lie in shock.
Chen Lie winked at them, "Don't you think so?"
"No!" Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze retorted in unison.
Yin Shixiong added, "Chen Lie, you can't say things like that. Our Nianzhi is still young, you can't make jokes like that. "
Gu Nianzhi was drunk and focused on Huo Shaoheng, but Chen Lie was laughing so loudly and clearly that she heard it too.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
She turned to look at Chen Lie blankly and saw his smiling eyes. She instinctively repeated, "… Cross cups? How do I drink it? "
Pfft!
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze spat out again …
Huo Shaoheng straightened and walked to Chen Lie. He put down his glass and picked up the Maotai on the table. He poured a third of it for him, then a third of red wine, and finally a third of tequila.
The sparkling wine glass was white, red, and green, just like a cocktail.
Huo Shaoheng raised the glass and swirled it. The three colors blended together to form a rainbow.
"Here, Chen Lie, you've worked hard this year. Here's to you." Huo Shaoheng placed the rainbow cocktail in Chen Lie's hand and continued to hold his glass of white wine. "Bottoms up!"
Chen Lie gulped, "Huo Shao …"
"Drink! If you don't drink, then you're looking down on me and not treating me as a friend. "Huo Shaoheng put down his glass to show that he had finished it.
Chen Lie had no choice but to drink since he had already said that.
"You win …" Chen Lie mouthed to Huo Shaoheng before downing the cocktail in one gulp.
Not long after he finished drinking, Chen Lie's round, fair face flushed red. His eyes gradually glazed over, and his reaction time slowed when he looked at people.
Huo Shaoheng returned to his seat and continued to eat his reunion dinner leisurely, occasionally chatting with Song Jinning and Yin Shixiong.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi and Chen Lie from the corner of his eye.
Not long after, the two of them were already drunk and unconscious.
"One glass and you're drunk." Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "Guards, take Dr. Chen to the guest room to rest."
The guards at the entrance of the restaurant walked in and helped Chen Lie out.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze knew that Chen Lie had spoken without thinking and touched Huo Shaoheng's sore spot …
As expected, it was still a taboo for him to talk about his relationship with Gu Nianzhi in front of him.
After Song Jinning finished her meal, she stood up and nodded at the people in the dining room. "I'm going back to rest. Enjoy your meal."
"Mrs. Song, aren't you going to stay up all night?" Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze both stood up.
Song Jinning shook her head and touched her burning face with a smile. "No, I'm used to sleeping and waking up early."
She looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was already sprawled on the dining table, and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Nianzhi is still young. She can't drink so much. Remember to give her some soup to sober up."
Without Huo Shaoheng's instructions, Zhao Liangze immediately informed the orderlies in the kitchen to send two bowls of hangover soup, one for Gu Nianzhi and the other for Chen Lie in the guest room.
Gu Nianzhi's dizziness was unbearable, so Yin Shixiong finally woke her up and fed her the soup with a spoon.
She felt a little better after a bowl of pickled bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, but she still couldn't lift her spirits.
"How many times have I told you not to drink if you can't." Huo Shaoheng stood up and walked over to her. He bent down to help her up. "Go back to sleep."
Gu Nianzhi was practically hanging from his arm, her long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall.
Yin Shixiong quickly said, "Huo Shao, you're busy. Do you want me to take her back to her room?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything and only gave him a sharp look.
Yin Shixiong couldn't move from that look. He could only watch as Huo Shaoheng half carried and half supported Gu Nianzhi out of the dining room.
"Stop looking …" Zhao Liangze knocked on the dining table. "Let's eat. There's still a lot of food to eat. They're gone, so we can't waste the food. "
…
Huo Shaoheng helped Gu Nianzhi out of the dining room. He picked her up by her knees and carried her up the stairs to her suite on the second floor.
He pushed the door open to enter and slammed it shut with his foot.
The lights were off in the room, but the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were open. The street lights outside glowed brightly, making the room seem like it was dusk. It was dim, but not dark.
Huo Shaoheng placed Gu Nianzhi on the sofa and sat beside her. He looked down at her. "You're awake?"
"Yeah." Gu Nianzhi slowly sat up and rested her head on Huo Shaoheng's shoulder. "It's not midnight yet. I don't want to sleep."
"Why were you angry just now?" Huo Shaoheng asked in a low voice. He placed a hand on the side of her face and gently rubbed her cheek with his thumb.
"Just now?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. "You didn't even look at me just now … I looked at you so many times …"
"You're angry just because of that?"
"Yeah." Gu Nianzhi didn't dare look Huo Shaoheng in the eyes. "I was a little angry just now, but I stopped being angry after you came over."
She knew she shouldn't have, but she couldn't control herself at that time.
When you really like someone, you'll find that your emotions fluctuate with that person. It's completely out of your control.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her steadily. His gaze was a little unreadable. "But if you follow me, there will be more situations like this in the future. It's even possible that when you fell into the river with someone else, I was saving someone else. Can you really take it? "
"Oh? You don't have to save me … I can swim! "Gu Nianzhi blinked her large eyes and giggled.
Huo Shaoheng smiled. His gaze was indifferent. His thumb was still rubbing her cheek, but his fingers were gradually losing warmth. It was gradually becoming a little cold. "You still don't understand what I mean?"
Falling into the water at the same time was just a metaphor.
Gu Nianzhi looked back at him. Her eyes gradually became clear. She sighed softly and nodded. "I understand. I know everything. I understand all the logic. You have a special identity, a special status, and a special job. You're different from ordinary people. But I just couldn't control myself for a moment. "
"You have to control yourself even if you can't." Huo Shaoheng gripped her cheek tightly. He used a little too much force and even pressed a red mark on her cheek.
Gu Nianzhi pressed his hand down and whispered, "I want to control myself, but I can't help myself. Do you understand?"
Huo Shaoheng was stunned and didn't speak.
"I like you so much. If I could control my emotions no matter what, I wouldn't be the 18-year-old Gu Nianzhi. I would be the Huo Shaoheng who had the rank of major general at the age of 28 and had made countless contributions."
Gu Nianzhi answered seriously and made a calm expression, but she looked like a child who had secretly worn an adult's clothes.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help smiling. He bent down and kissed her. He pried open her lips and pressed in, lingering with the tip of her tongue.
She was so young and had grown up by his side. She was completely defenseless against him.
She was like a flawless crystal, exquisite and translucent. He could even see the other side at a glance.
A young girl's feelings were fiery and direct, without any impurities. With Huo Shaoheng's age and experience, how could he not understand?
She only had him in her heart, but his heart and eyes were filled with too many things.
She only occupied a very small part of his heart, even though that was all his feelings for a man and a woman.
Huo Shaoheng thought that he was actually a fickle and ruthless man. If he gave her the only bit of feelings he had between a man and a woman, she would probably still feel that it wasn't enough.
Releasing her lips, Huo Shaoheng pressed his forehead against hers and rubbed her back with one hand, as if he was coaxing a child. But Gu Nianzhi was already satisfied.
She didn't want all of him.
Some people were full of feelings, like the vast ocean, inexhaustible.
Some people were fickle, and all their feelings might only add up to a small well.
Huo Shaoheng was the kind of person whose feelings were at most a well.
But even if it was just a small well, she was willing to be a frog at the bottom of a well for him. She stubbornly guarded the sky above her head and treated it as her entire world.
Gu Nianzhi leaned her head against his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat. She smiled happily.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head. He said slowly, "But you have to control yourself. If you can't do it, we … I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue being together."
"I'll do it." Gu Nianzhi raised her head from Huo Shaoheng's arms. She seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant. "Don't worry, I won't lose control again."
Her expression was very determined, but there was still a hint of fear in the depths of her eyes.
"I'll wait and see." Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows. "You should rest early. Come with me to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."
