bite-
The elevator has arrived.
With the little remaining rationality Lin Qingle had, she did not lie on Xu Tingbai's back. Instead, she walked around him and entered the elevator.
"I can walk on my own..."
Xu Tingbai straightened his back and followed her in: "If you don't want me to carry you, then you can hold on to me."
"ah?"
Xu Tingbai stretched out his hand in front of her, "Hold me."
Lin Qingle lowered his eyes for a few seconds, then slowly reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Thank you..."
The elevator descended into the lobby.
The feeling of falling just now made Lin Qingle feel that something was wrong with her. After she came out, she went from grabbing his clothes with two fingers at the beginning to completely grabbing his arm with both hands.
Well... it's more important not to fall.
Lin Qingle walked unsteadily, and Xu Tingbai had to support her from time to time.
"Let me carry you."
"No, no, no, no need!"
Xu Tingbai glanced at her and said, "This is not a company. No one knows you."
"That, that won't work either!" She continued to move forward bravely.
Xu Tingbai's attention was always on her. As he watched, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.
She just held his arm, staggering and walking forward cautiously... It seemed like she had done the same thing on the snow many years ago.
At that time, he couldn't see and could only picture what it looked like in his mind.
And now... Xu Tingbai chuckled.
Just like a penguin, stupid... but cute.
When they arrived at the hotel entrance, the driver was already waiting. When he saw the two people coming out, he quickly opened the door.
"Hmm... wait a minute!" Lin Qingle was stunned, then hurriedly glanced to the side. After seeing the trash can not far away, she let go of Xu Tingbai's hand and ran over there quickly... The route was tortuous and she ran shakily.
And she ran away so suddenly that Xu Tingbai reacted and immediately said, "Bring some water and napkins!"
The driver nodded repeatedly and got into the car to get it.
After Xu Tingbai took it, he quickly walked towards Lin Qingle who was lying next to the trash can.
He frowned slightly and patted her back.
"You move away..." Lin Qingle was already feeling extremely uncomfortable, but he still remembered one thing, that is, he was in a very miserable state at the moment and didn't want Xu Tingbai to get so close to him!
Xu Tingbai pretended not to hear anything, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then unscrewed the bottle cap: "Rinse your mouth."
Lin Qingle took it and gargled a few times.
Xu Tingbai: "Do you still want to vomit?"
Lin Qingle shook his head.
"Then get up, I'll help you."
Lin Qingle held onto his arm, but when he stood up, he was so limp that he seemed like he could fall to the side at any moment.
Xu Tingbai put the napkin and water in her arms: "Here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned over and picked her up horizontally.
Lin Qingle suddenly jumped into the air, and subconsciously hugged the water in his arms tightly: "No, I can't."
"Can't hug me either?" Xu Tingbai lowered his eyes and glanced at her.
"right… "
Xu Tingbai sneered: "If I let you walk by yourself, you won't be able to get into the car until dawn."
"… "
—
The red wine he drank tonight was very strong, and after getting into the car, Xu Tingbai's head started to hurt a little.
The car drove towards the hotel where they were staying. He opened the blanket and covered Lin Qingle who was standing next to him with it.
Lin Qingle: "No... I'm hot."
Her hand was pushed away by her, so Xu Tingbai had no choice but to say to the driver: "Can you please turn up the air conditioner a little higher?"
"Oh, okay."
Lin Qingle huddled in the car seat. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. After a while, she suddenly raised her arm and sniffed: "Stinky..."
Xu Tingbai turned to look at her: "What?"
Lin Qingle frowned: "Am I smelly?"
Xu Tingbai leaned over and checked it briefly before saying, "Don't worry, he didn't vomit on me."
But Lin Qingle felt that there was a strange smell around him and insisted, "It stinks, the trash can... It smells so bad..."
"No."
“Yes—” Lin Qingle suddenly sat up straight and leaned against him, “Smell it, smell it… It stinks!”
She was suddenly so close that she almost fell on him.
Xu Tingbai pursed his lips and held her steady with restraint: "No, you are hallucinating."
"Obviously there is! Is your nose broken..." Lin Qingle was confused, looking at him strangely and sympathetically.
In the dim car, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, bright and beautiful, yet pure and lovely.
Xu Tingbai pursed his lips and glanced away: "... Sit down first."
Lin Qingle: "Hmm..."
She didn't sit back down. Her hand that was supporting herself on the side suddenly slipped and hit his shoulder as if she was exhausted.
So incredibly close.
When he turned his head slightly, he could smell her scent, which seemed to be the familiar, faint jasmine scent.
His eyes dimmed, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of his distracted mind or the effects of alcohol. He could only let his body move closer involuntarily, getting closer to the taste he had secretly longed for in the past...
The tip of his nose touched the hair, but at this moment, the woman in his arms suddenly raised her head, she suddenly leaned on the backrest of the front seat, and said tenderly: "Master! Give me another bottle of mineral water!"
The beauty was suddenly broken.
Xu Tingbai stood still, with a slight red mark behind his ears.
The driver said: "Miss, there is water in the back, you can get it yourself."
"Is there... where?"
"Here." Xu Tingbai coughed lightly, pulled her back and handed her the water.
But Lin Qingle didn't answer at all. She slowly moved her eyes from the water bottle to his face. She stared at him motionlessly for several seconds, then called out his name as if to confirm: "Xu Tingbai?"
"I am here."
"You are so abominable."
"… "
She tilted her head, stared at him straight, and suddenly raised her voice: "You liar, big liar, super liar."
Xu Tingbai: "Stop messing around... drink some water."
"I won't drink it! I won't drink the water you give me." Lin Qingle turned her head away, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes, "Do you think I will forgive you if you give me a glass of water now? I won't, I won't forgive you..."
Xu Tingbai was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was talking about. He lowered his voice, breathing hard: "That day in the bar, you didn't tell the truth, right?"
"Of course I didn't tell the truth! Do you think I really don't mind? How could I not mind!" Lin Qingle said angrily, "You didn't take me seriously at all. I treated you as a friend and a very important person, but you didn't! You know that you left in high school, and I waited for your news for a long time. Do you know that I was very sad every day at that time?! I thought that you would at least send me a letter... But there was no news, it's like you disappeared from the face of the earth! Xu Tingbai, it turns out that I'm not important at all, right? You said that you would see me first when your eyesight healed, but you were lying, right? You don't want to see me... You don't want to see me!"
Lin Qingle spoke a lot in one breath.
The driver glanced back through the rearview mirror. Originally, he thought the two were just superiors and subordinates, but now it seems... it seems to be more than that.
He didn't dare to look anymore and concentrated on driving.
"It's not like that." Xu Tingbai looked at her, his voice slightly painful. "You are very important, and that's why I don't want to mess up your life anymore. I want my eyes to be completely healed, and I want to be in a good condition one day. At that time, I can take care of myself, and even more... take care of you. It's not like before, when I can only ask you to help me and suffer for me."
"I don't want to hear you say this, I don't need you to take care of me! I'm fine!" Lin Qingle blocked his ears, "Anyway, you are a big liar, you don't keep your word, and you made me sad for so long! I will never talk to you again in the future. Do you think I really want to be friends with you now? I was just lying to you!"
Xu Tingbai grabbed her hands that were tightly covering her ears, feeling stuffy in his chest: "Don't press like that, be gentle."
"Go away. I don't want to bother with you." Lin Qingle glared at him, "Don't touch me. Do you hear me—"
Xu Tingbai lowered his eyes and looked at her, his face pale: "Okay... I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have done that before... I was wrong, okay."
"No!" Lin Qingle didn't want him to pull her wrist, but she couldn't struggle away in this position, so she let go of her ear and shook it hard.
Bang!
Her hand directly touched the jaw of Xu Tingbai's left face, and her fingertips rubbed it, leaving a mark.
"… "
The noise was so loud that the driver couldn't help but look at the rearview mirror again.
This... is beating the boss?!
Lin Qingle narrowed his eyes and was also confused: "...Huh?"
Xu Tingbai's head tilted when he was hit. He paused for a moment before slowly moving his gaze back to her face.
Lin Qingle blinked his eyes, "Did I hit you?"
Xu Tingbai looked at her and nodded slightly.
"Did I really hit you?"
"Um."
Lin Qingle's anger was beaten back by herself. She was so surprised that her eyes widened: "Then, does it hurt?"
Xu Tingbai was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It hurts."
Lin Qingle was stunned. He stretched out his fingers to grab his clothes, thought for a long time and said, "I didn't mean it..."
Xu Tingbai did not seem angry, but indulgent. He whispered, "You have scolded me and hit me, can you please forgive me a little?"
Lin Qingle just stared at his face, as if he heard nothing.
"Lin Qingle, can you?"
"I hit my boss, so he will deduct my salary..." Lin Qingle suddenly said.
"… "
Lin Qingle had a splitting headache and said in distress: "Will it be deducted? But I just started working not long ago..."
Xu Tingbai was stunned for two seconds, then patted her head helplessly: "No."
"real?"
"Well, as long as you don't get mad at your boss again."
—
The drunk man basically had no memory of what happened afterwards. After being carried back to the hotel, Lin Qingle wrapped himself in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
On the day of the festival, Lin Qingle, who had drunk two glasses of wine, finally woke up.
She took her cell phone from the bedside table and checked the time. It was nine o'clock in the morning.
It was still early... because she didn't have any big plans for today. Her main task was to finish writing the report at the hotel. If there were any loopholes, she would just check with her colleagues in the branch office in time.
After confirming the time, she unlocked the screen. There were several unread messages on WeChat. In addition to the one sent by the director, there was also one from Xu Tingbai.
Xu Tingbai: Remember to eat first when you wake up. If you still feel uncomfortable, remember to tell the hotel staff and ask them to send you medicine.
Xu Tingbai: I'm going to meet a client. See you at the airport tonight.
Meeting clients... Are there any bosses who report their itineraries to their employees
Lin Qingle thought so in his mind for a second, and the next second, his eyes were fixed on the words "people are still feeling uncomfortable".
She sat down immediately.
"Hmm..."
I really feel dizzy.
The result of a hangover.
Lin Qingle clenched her phone tightly. She remembered that she vomited when she came out of the hotel yesterday? At that time... Xu Tingbai was right next to her? How embarrassing.
Normally, three glasses of red wine is her limit... Why did she vomit after two glasses this time? Is the red wine much stronger than usual?
By the way, what happens after vomiting
She must have gotten in the car...
And then what
Then... she seemed to make a scene in the car...
Lin Qingle froze. It was easy for her to lose control when she was drunk. It seemed that she said something she shouldn't have said and did something she shouldn't have done yesterday.
"You are important, and that's why I don't want to mess up your life anymore..."
This voice suddenly appeared in my mind.
Did Xu Tingbai say that
Lin Qingle covered his head, feeling dizzy as if he was about to explode, but the memories of last night slowly surfaced.
Xu Tingbai said that he knew he was wrong... he shouldn't have done that.
He said he would take care of her.
He also said... Can you forgive him
He actually said these things to her? Does he really think he did something wrong? He apologized to her...
So what then
Did she forgive
Something fierce flashed through my mind.
No, she didn't.
She even slapped him in the face.
Lin Qingle: “…”
