After three rounds of drinking——
The atmosphere at the dinner table is always lively.
The three little guys were all very happy today. Cai Xiaotang and Gu Ruohan hit it off immediately. They chatted and drank wine, and they laughed from time to time.
Li Xiao listened silently. He was rarely silent, but occasionally frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Chen Nian?
That female star who is in the limelight recently?
Do they gossip a lot?
Cai Xiaotang is just chasing stars. How come Gu Ruohan, a grown man, still knows this?
Li Xiao listened to the two chatting about celebrities' gossip and became very excited. He silently took a sip of wine and suppressed the sourness in his heart.
Not long after, I heard the two of them changing the topic again.
game equipment?
Cai Xiaotang is still playing games?
By the way...Jiang Baobao is the boss of the team. The two of them have such a good relationship, so it's normal for her to play games...
But shouldn't Gu Ruohan be very busy as a doctor?
Why do you still have time to play games?
Li Xiao complained silently in his heart, and suddenly felt that there was something unpleasant about a certain person with the surname Gu.
The two of them got excited about chatting, clinked their wine glasses, and took a sip of wine.
Cai Xiaotang's cheeks turned red, as if she had drunk too much.
"Stop drinking, you'll get drunk if you drink any more."
Li Xiao saw that she was about to pour another drink, and hurriedly tried to stop her. He didn't realize that all his worries were written on his face, and he struck Gu Ruohan with another blow.
Gu Ruohan instantly felt a chill on his back. This time he finally received the signal and hurriedly persuaded him: "Yes, Xiaotang, you drank a little too much today. Let's continue chatting and stop drinking..."
"It's okay, I can still drink!"
Cai Xiaotang felt angry, and when she heard that Li Xiao cared about her, she couldn't hold it back anymore.
She ignored the worried looks of the people around her and poured another glass of wine as she spoke.
Since you have someone you like, don't mess with yourself!
She doesn't appreciate his concern!
While Cai Xiaotang was thinking about it, she simply poured a large cup!
Seeing this, Li Xiao had no choice but to say nothing more.
Finally, the dinner came to an end.
Thinking that there would be a busier wedding tomorrow, several people planned to go back and rest early.
Gu Ruohan was okay, but Cai Xiaotang staggered when she stood up.
"careful……"
Li Xiao subconsciously wanted to help her.
Cai Xiaotang, however, stood firm on her own and avoided his movements calmly.
"I'm fine, let's go to the bathroom first."
She dropped a word and walked toward the door alone.
Li Xiao's eyes followed her subconsciously, with the word "worry" almost written on his face.
"Li Xiao."
Jiang Baobao suddenly spoke up, drawing Li Xiao's attention back.
"You and Xiaotang...are you okay?"
Jiang Baobao asked again.
Li Xiao was startled, and looked at Jiang Baobao for two seconds, confirming that she really didn't know anything, and then casually replied: "It's nothing."
"That's good. Xiaotang seems to be in a bad mood these days, and I can't figure out the reason. Why don't we leave first, and you can take him back to your place later? It's too late for us to meet up again tomorrow morning. She drinks I will definitely feel uncomfortable after drinking alcohol, so I’ll leave it to you to take care of me.”
Jiang Baobao wanted to create opportunities for the two of them.
After hearing this, Li Xiao had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then you go ahead, I'll stay here waiting for her."
After saying a few simple words, Jiang Baobao left with the three little guys and Li Beijue.
Gu Ruohan naturally wouldn't stay here as a light bulb.
When Cai Xiaotang came back, Li Xiao was the only one left in the private room.
"Eh? Where are they..."
Her eyes were a little blurry, but fortunately she was still conscious.
"They're going back first. Beijue and the others are having a wedding tomorrow. The villa must be very busy. No one may be able to take care of you at this time, so you come with me."
Li Xiao said as he stood up and walked out.
Cai Xiaotang didn't say anything. Seeing him leaving, she immediately followed him subconsciously, but her mind was still digesting what he just said.
"Shall I... follow you?"
She murmured the last few words in a low voice, slowly figuring out the logic of what she just said, without raising any objections.
I want... to go back to Li Xiao.
Because I'm drunk...I can't trouble the baby.
Yes...don't bother the baby.
Cai Xiaotang repeated this sentence in her head, looking straight at the back of the person in front of her, but she didn't notice the threshold under her feet and tripped suddenly!
"ah!"
She gave a short scream and bumped into Li Xiao's back.
"Bang" sound.
Li Xiao paused and turned around helplessly.
Then he saw Cai Xiaotang rubbing his forehead with a grimace.
"Why is your back so hard..."
She muttered something and continued walking forward.
Li Xiao couldn't help but smile, and suddenly wanted to reach out and pinch her face.
The fingers hanging on the side moved, but in the end they did nothing.
He hesitated for a moment, fearing that someone would have another "accident", and then simply wanted to grab her hand.
But before we meet—
"Let's go."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Cai Xiaotang just avoided his movement and walked forward on her own initiative.
Li Xiao's outstretched hand froze and he hurriedly followed.
The two got into the car one after another.
As soon as he touched the seat, Cai Xiaotang closed his eyes in discomfort.
When the cold wind outside blew, she had already woken up from the drunkenness. At this moment, there was a chatty little man in her mind who kept talking.
Why did you get on the bus so easily?
What is the relationship between the two of them now?
They are husband and wife in name, but in reality?
good friend?
Or... not even a friend?
After deliberately cutting off contact with Li Xiao for several days, Cai Xiaotang suddenly discovered that from the moment she saw him today, her heart was always beating like a little rabbit.
Tsk...she is too disappointed!
Cai Xiaotang frowned and bit her lower lip.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Li Xiao kept paying attention to Cai Xiaotang out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that her expression was wrong, he asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy."
Cai Xiaotang replied lightly. After speaking, she suddenly felt relieved.
very good.
that's it!
If he can pretend that nothing happened, then he can too!
We are all adults, but we just failed to confess. We still have to keep the last bit of dignity!
Although this guy is really annoying!
Cai Xiaotang's head was in a mess and she was suffocating in her heart, but she still maintained a trace of reason and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you today, thank you."
Her attitude was polite and distant, completely different from the way she used to be lively and arrogant in front of Li Xiao.
Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he imitated her and replied: "You're welcome."
After saying that, a look of self-deprecation suddenly appeared on his face.
What is he upset about?
Isn't this the result he wants?
