"I won't drink." Shu Xin shook her head hurriedly, "I promised my fifth uncle that I won't drink in the future."
Huo Yanqing didn't expect Shu Xin to answer like this. She was slightly startled, and then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "So obedient?"
Shu Xin said in her heart: I dare not not listen. I drank for some reason last night. Wasn't it you who pinned me down in the car? I can't handle that kind of distance.
But he said "hmm" obediently.
The smile on Huo Yanqing's lips slowly faded away, and her voice was low and gentle, "You will be allowed to drink when you are with me from now on."
Shu Xin said, "..." Well, you are the elder, and whatever you say is what it is.
Shu Xin saw Huo Yanqing holding the red wine bottle and stood up hurriedly, "Fifth uncle, can I do it?"
"Okay." Huo Yanqing put down the bottle.
When Shu Xin was pouring the wine, she remembered what Song Li had said before. After pouring a glass, she poured it out, "Uncle Wu, Secretary Song said that drinking is bad for your eyes. You'd better not drink, right?"
"It won't hurt if you drink a little."
Shu Xin frowned and hesitated, "Then drink a little."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Huo Yanqing had a faint smile on her lips, and her voice was pleasant and filled with endless pampering.
Shu Xin was startled for a moment. It sounded like Huo Yanqing was obediently listening to his wife.
Shu Xin was startled by her sudden thought and blushed instantly.
After pouring the wine, Shu Xin sat back in her seat.
Shu Xin thought that she would be very nervous during this meal, but Huo Yanqing kept leading the conversation. The two first talked about Tong Wenbin's case, and then about Shu Xin's future plans. The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
After dinner, the two sat for a while. Huo Yanqing answered a phone call during the meal. When he came back, he asked Shu Xin: "Song Li won't be back tonight because he has something to do. He said you agreed to stay here for the night?"
Shu Xin's little face turned red immediately, she lowered her head and whispered, "I didn't."
Huo Yanqing was silent for two seconds, "...Then I ask Yang Ji to take you back?"
"Secretary Song is not here, what will you do?"
"I'm fine with myself."
Shu Xin was worried, bit her lip, curled her hands slightly, and said softly: "I'd better... not leave..."
"Okay." Huo Yanqing had a smile on his face.
Shu Xin remembered the last time Huo Yanqing bumped into the table and overturned the chair. She didn't dare to sleep on the sofa in the living room, so she made a floor bunk in the bedroom.
Even though she knew that Huo Yanqing could not see, Shu Xin still felt very uncomfortable and lay still, not daring to move.
The atmosphere was very quiet, you could hear each other's breathing.
Shu Xin felt that such silence could easily make her feel suffocated. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to chat with Huo Yanqing, "Uncle Fifth, are you asleep?"
"No."
"… Can I ask you a question?"
"Um."
"What kind of girl do you like?" Shu Xin was afraid that Huo Yanqing would misunderstand, so she quickly added, "Didn't you ask me what kind of man I like last time? You have to tell me too. This is only fair."
Huo Yanqing was silent for a while, "...I like you like this."
Shu Xin's little heart started to beat wildly. Uncle Wu said he liked her like this, but what about his sweetheart? Could it be that... his sweetheart has a very similar personality to hers? Is that why he always takes good care of her
When Shu Xin thought about this possibility, her heart felt as if there was a stone stuck in her heart.
"Why don't you speak?" Huo Yanqing's deep voice sounded in the silent room.
