When everyone saw that he was so interested in asking for help, they all rushed up and forced Ling Yizhou to drink one glass after another with every word.
Xia Lin sat aside and watched in horror as Ling Yizhou repeated the action of drinking. His eyes followed his movements up and down, hesitating whether to persuade him or not.
But he was obviously having a great time drinking, and everyone was having a great time, and he hadn't spoken to her since he came in. If he was still angry about that day... she didn't dare to persuade him.
But after a moment, she still couldn't help but secretly tugged on his clothes. They were so close that no one noticed her little move.
Ling Yizhou reached out and patted the back of her hand.
Xia Lin glanced at the back of his hand, what does it mean? fine? Do you want to continue drinking
However, he couldn't continue drinking, because Xu Wei rushed over and snatched the wine glass from his hand. She frowned and shouted to disperse the group of people who were making noises. Get some rest, don't drink like this."
The group of people dispersed, and someone complained, "Xu Wei, you protect him every year."
Xia Lin suddenly sat on pins and needles.
Ling Yizhou's eyes turned blue. She didn't even notice it when she was sitting so close, but Xu Wei noticed it.
Ling Yizhou sat back and leaned back on the sofa. Xia Lin saw him frowning. It was obvious that he drank too much and it was a bit irritating to his stomach.
She looked up and saw that there seemed to be boiling water on the counter. She was about to get up and pour him a glass. However, as soon as she stood up, Ling Yizhou grabbed her wrist.
"Where to go?"
Xia Lin pointed to the water table, "I'll pour you a glass of boiling water."
Ling Yizhou's face softened instantly, and then he let go.
When he came back from pouring water, he found Xu Wei sitting next to Ling Yizhou, talking to him and pointing at a photo album.
Xia Lin got closer and heard that Xu Wei said that this was a photo album she had posted for a long time, and it was full of memories of their childhood.
This should be a birthday gift. Xia Lin glanced at it and saw that it was indeed a photo of her when she was very young.
She remembered that she seemed to have bought something for him in her apartment. She wondered if she could give it to him as a birthday present today.
Ling Yizhou took the boiled water from Xia Lin's hand and handed Xu Wei's photo album to Xia Lin, "Get it for me and take it home later."
The smile on Xu Wei's lips froze, she said a few words casually and sat back to her original position.
Xia Lin felt a little uneasy holding the photo album. He had clearly used her to reject Xu Wei just now. In fact, he really didn't understand why he didn't like Xu Wei. His friends since childhood mentioned them from time to time.
Ling Yizhou suddenly turned his head, accepted her look and stared at her. Only then did Xia Lin see clearly that his eyes were indeed green, tired and inquiring.
Xia Lin subconsciously shrank back and said "I'm sorry", apologizing for the sudden mood that day.
Ling Yizhou didn't ask why she suddenly said sorry, nor did he respond. Instead, he said: "It's the weekend, you come home with me later."
"Oh... oh." Xia Lin thought, the week passed quite quickly.
"No gift prepared?" Ling Yizhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xia Lin thought for a while, "Does being at home count?"
Ling Yizhou shook his head, "Oh no."
At this time, Xia Lin didn't know what he meant by "bad", but he would know when the cake came out.
After Ling Yizhou made a wish, he blew out the candles. Instead of rushing to share the cake, a group of people coaxed Xia Lin to show off his birthday gift.
Xia Lin was frightened by this posture, "I'm at home, I didn't bring her here."
"That won't work!" they shouted, "Sister-in-law, you are so insincere, it will take at least half an hour of French kissing to offset it!"
Suddenly there was the sound of a glass falling to the ground from Chu Yan's side. Everyone looked over and Chu Yan explained: "I was scared by you. After half an hour of kissing, I was about to contact the hospital."
Everyone cheered, "Twenty minutes is fine, if not ten minutes is fine!"
Xia Lin was pushed so hard that she was almost pressed against Ling Yizhou. It turned out that this was what Ling Yizhou meant when he said "It's bad". If she had known it, she would have gone back to get the gift.
Seeing that Ling Yizhou and Xia Lin didn't move for a long time, they disagreed, "Hey, what's going on with you? Yizhou, you are so out of shape today!"
Xia Lin was just about to tell them the truth when she heard Ling Yizhou say: "Don't make fun of her, she is thin-skinned."
In the end, they ended up drinking. Because of their uncooperative performance, Ling Yizhou was fined countless amounts of liquor. Now even Xu Wei couldn't stop them.
Ling Yizhou didn't let Xia Lin touch a drop of it, but at the end of the drink, Xia Lin's nose was filled with the smell of alcohol, which was on Ling Yizhou.
He didn't seem to be drunk. After drinking so much, he could still maintain a normal posture despite the smell of alcohol all over his body. This was what surprised Xia Lin the most.
Then there was the beast fighting performance. When the curtain of their box was lifted, it was the middle seat, where you could see the beauty and the beast dancing from the best angle.
A beautiful woman in a bright red dress dances with a roaring lion in the same cage. People are both anxious for the beautiful woman and excited for her exquisite dance moves.
Xia Lin was so mesmerized for a moment that he didn't even know Ling Yizhou was asleep next to him.
When she finished reading, she felt her shoulders were a little heavy. When she looked sideways, she saw that Ling Yizhou's head was resting on her shoulders, breathing evenly, and he was actually asleep!
While a group of men were watching Beauty and the Beast dance, he actually fell asleep!
Chu Yan passed by them and sighed, "I guess I haven't slept for three days."
Three days without sleep? Xia Lin immediately sat up straight, not daring to move, for fear of waking Ling Yizhou from his sweet dream.
"Why is the birthday boy asleep? Sister-in-law, what kind of hypnosis did you use?" A man came over and frowned, "We are still changing the scene, why don't we wake him up?"
"Would you like to switch to another one?" Xia Lin waved his hand, "How about you go? He drank too much today and can't go."
"Drinking too much? Are you kidding? All of us in the box combined can't drink him." The man said and called the other one, "Come on, let's carry him out when he falls asleep."
So cruel! Xia Lin quickly moved to wake up Ling Yizhou, "Teacher Ling, wake up quickly. They are going to carry you to the next game. Wake up quickly."
Ling Yizhou had indeed not slept for several days. He was extremely exhausted. When he arrived at Xia Lin's place, he felt a little more at ease and fell asleep. Now that he was woken up by Xia Lin, he reacted and pulled Xia Lin up, "Let's go back first."
"Oh, okay." Xia Lin quickly stood up after him.
The boys immediately shouted that they disagreed, "No, how can we play if the protagonist is gone!"
Ling Yizhou pulled away his hair and said, "I am a family man and I need to be self-disciplined."
The boys were immediately hit by arrows in the knees, causing numerous casualties, "Ling Yizhou, you are cruel, you bully us all."
"We were bachelors before, but now we are singles."
Xia Lin couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. These people were so interesting.
