Luo Xiangdong took the mobile phone and put it in his coat pocket, and said to me: "Go. This will save you the trouble of being suspicious at home alone."
I glanced at him and he said with a faint smile: "Go and change clothes."
I got up and went into the master bedroom. Even if I woke up in the middle of the night and went out, I wouldn't be in a hurry. Firstly, I was really worried about a woman pestering Luo Xiangdong. Secondly, Zheng Zeyu asked me to go, and I was afraid that if I didn't go, he would think I was showing off.
Wearing a pair of black jeans, white long sleeves, and a thin denim jacket. I came out of the master bedroom, and Luo Xiangdong stood up from the sofa and said, "Let's go."
When I went downstairs, I asked him: "Brother Zeyu just said that someone is engaged. Are you going to the nightclub to play when you are engaged? Aren't you afraid that the woman will be angry?"
Luo Xiangdong replied calmly: "It's a bachelor's night."
I glanced at him, but before I could say anything, Luo Xiangdong said first, "It's nothing to do with me, and I'm not looking for a woman."
I said, "Anyway, don't let me block you."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me sideways and said with a half-smile, "I feel like you are full of evil spirits."
I said: "People like you are buzzing with bees and butterflies wherever you go. You should pay attention to yourself. I am narrow-minded and can't listen to some gossipy news."
Luo Xiangdong took my hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, from now on, don't let anyone approach me within ten meters, and no one of the opposite sex will be allowed within five meters of me. This is the place next to you that will be reserved for you forever."
I didn't know Luo Xiangdong was so good at talking before, but now he makes me happy with just a few words.
Luo Xiangdong teased me: "Laugh when you are happy, don't hold it back."
I went downstairs with him, and he drove me to a large club in the city. Pushing open the door of the private room, it was dark inside. The long circular sofa was basically filled with a man and a woman from left to right. Looking around, there are at least forty or fifty.
People in the house were singing, drinking, and some were gathering together to play cards with the help of weak spotlights. All in all, it was very lively.
Seeing Luo Xiangdong and I walking in, many people looked up. The singer also pressed pause, held the microphone and said with a smile: "He came out after a thousand calls. Did my brother Dong climb down from the bed now?"
There was laughter in the room, and someone shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu still has a trick, Dongzi can call him out in bed, you can do it!"
"Come on, come on, this is your new sister-in-law. She hasn't even met her yet."
A man came directly towards me. Before he could touch my hand, he was immediately pushed away by Luo Xiangdong. He said, "Go away."
The man laughed and joked: "Can't you even shake hands?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Don't deal with those useless things."
Zheng Zeyu was helped to stand up from the sofa. He stretched out his arm, pointed in the direction of Luo Xiangdong and me, and said vaguely: "Sister, come on, come to my brother's side."
I subconsciously took a step forward, and Luo Xiangdong immediately pulled me back. He glanced at me and said nothing else, but his eyes were full of protectiveness.
He took my hand and walked together to Zheng Zeyu, and said as we walked: "I'm bringing Zijin over to say hello to Xiaobai. She has to get up early to go to work tomorrow, so we'll stay soon."
The man who had been replaced by Xiaobai stood up and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Dong, thank you, sister-in-law. I dedicate this cup to Brother Dong and sister-in-law."
The young man poured a full glass of foreign wine, and someone brought a new cup and poured a glass for Luo Xiangdong and me. We both picked up our glasses and I said, "Happy engagement."
Xiaobai nodded and thanked him, then raised his head and wiped it clean.
Zheng Zeyufei asked Luo Xiangdong and I to sit down for a while and left two seats free for us. Luo Xiangdong pulled me over, and many people stared at me. Zheng Zeyu took the microphone and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce you to the person next to Dongzi, my sister, Liang Zijin. Dongzi always likes her, and those who like her will go crazy, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Xiangdong snatched the microphone away.
A group of people started cheering: "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. What else could happen?"
"Brother Dong, please introduce the new sister-in-law quickly. We can't let Brother Yu do this."
Luo Xiangdong put his arm around my shoulders and said: "Liang Zijin, the woman I have always been thinking about. She is not a new sister-in-law, but when you get married in the future, you will definitely call me sister-in-law. The room is dark, turn on the light and recognize the person. Let’s meet and say hello later.”
Someone got up and went to the door to turn on the light, and the dark private room immediately lit up. I didn't put on any makeup, but when I saw the women sitting on the sofa wearing heavy makeup, not to mention whether they looked good or not, I always felt that I was lacking in face and was afraid of losing face to Luo Xiangdong.
But Luo Xiangdong looked at me with joy in his eyes, and the look in his eyes made me feel that I was the most beautiful person in the world.
There were many familiar faces in the room that they had seen before. Someone said, "Hey, isn't this Brother Dong's former assistant?"
Luo Xiangdong smiled lightly and replied: "Yes, now that I have straightened it up, I have to call her sister-in-law from now on."
As soon as he said this, everyone raised their glasses to me and called me sister-in-law.
This scene seemed familiar. I didn't have time to think about it, so I instinctively picked up the wine glass. Luo Xiangdong pressed my hand and said to everyone: "She has a bad stomach, so she is not allowed to drink."
Zheng Zeyu squinted his eyes and said, "Just protect yourself. I ran away halfway without saying anything. Now I'm not allowed to drink. What do you want?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I'll drink it for her."
Everyone laughed and said, "I'm just waiting for your words."
A group of grown men toasted Luo Xiangdong with wine glasses. Luo Xiangdong refused to accept anyone who came and drank five or six glasses in a row. Whether he drinks well or not is his business, but it is my business that I feel sorry for him.
He kept holding my hand, and I felt the heat in his palm.
Finally I couldn't help but reached out to grab his wine glass and said out loud: "I'll drink it myself."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me with a smile in his eyes. Suddenly he leaned into my ear and whispered: "No, just wait for me tonight."
The warm breath from his mouth mixed with the sweet smell of foreign wine poured in front of me. I suddenly turned red from the roots of my ears to my neck.
While I was standing still, Luo Xiangdong had already raised the glass in his hand, raised his head, and drank the remaining half of the glass.
Zheng Zeyu got too drunk and started to heckle Luo Xiangdong with a group of people. There was no way, so I had to ask Wei Zheng for help, and finally Wei Zheng made peace with him: "Hey, hey, you guys are almost done. Xiaobai is engaged, why are you trying to trick Dongzi?"
Someone laughed and said, "Who told Brother Dong to focus on sex over friends and run away halfway?"
Some people also said: "Anyway, I already did that when I went home... There's no need to come back tonight, right? After drinking too much, I went home and fell asleep."
"You're not afraid that your sister-in-law will blame you..."
Men are always joking loudly, not to mention all of them are drunk. I blushed at what they said, but I wasn't angry. I'm just worried about Luo Xiangdong. I'm afraid he'll hurt his health if he drinks too much.
After spending time in the private room until two o'clock in the morning, Luo Xiangdong said: "I can't do it anymore. I have to send her back. She will go to work tomorrow."
Someone tried to dissuade me, but Luo Xiangdong remained unmoved and already took my hand and stood up. Many people were drunk, and Xiaobai was helped out to see us off.
He said to Luo Xiangdong: "Brother Dong, don't drive after drinking so much. Find a driver to take you back."
Luo Xiangdong patted him on the shoulder and replied with a faint smile: "I know, please go back quickly. We will meet again tomorrow."
Xiaobai asked a driver to come over. Luo Xiangdong and I got into the back seat of the car. The driver turned around and asked, "Mr. Luo, where are you going?"
Luo Xiangdong reported my home address, started the car and left in front of the club.
Luo Xiangdong held my hand tightly from beginning to end. I glanced sideways at him, but saw that his long eyelashes were slightly drooped, indicating that he was sleepy.
I whispered: "How about I send you back first?"
After hearing this, Luo Xiangdong slowly turned his head to look at me after a few seconds. He opened his thin lips and said back to me: "Go back to where?"
I said, "Go home."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Why don't we go home now?"
I said, "Go back to your home."
He said, "You want to go to my place?"
I sighed secretly and asked him in a low voice: "Are you drunk too much?"
Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips and kept looking at me and smiling. I thought he was going to do something, but he suddenly said: "I love you."
"..." The sudden confession caused my whole body to be covered with a strange electric current.
I was even embarrassed to look directly into his eyes, so I instinctively lowered my head.
Luo Xiangdong's smiling voice came: "Zijin, I love you."
“…”
"I love you."
He said several words in succession, and there were more than two of us in the car. I was really embarrassed, so I had to slap his thigh and whispered: "Why are you so drunk?"
Luo Xiangdong laughed out loud. He even put his hand on the back of the front seat and said to the driver: "Hey, this is my wife, Liang Zijin."
The driver looked over in the rearview mirror, smiled and nodded: "Hello, Miss Liang."
I was so embarrassed that I turned red and wanted to kill Luo Xiangdong.
Hitting him with my elbow, I lowered my voice and said, "Are you crazy?"
Luo Xiangdong looked very happy and said with a smile: "What are you embarrassed about? Sooner or later everyone has to know."
I guess Luo Xiangdong must have drunk too much. The car was parked downstairs in the apartment. Luo Xiangdong took out his wallet far faster than me. I gave him the money and got out of the car with him.
Luo Xiangdong walked without swaying, but put his arm around my shoulders and said to me, "I drank too much."
I said, "Isn't it embarrassing to be embarrassed in the car just now?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "When I get home later, you can put the bath water in for me."
I deliberately let out a "heh" and raised my eyebrows: "Do you think this is your home? My small bathroom can't even fit a bathtub. You can take a shower by yourself."
Luo Xiangdong said: "It is better to go to my place."
I said, "Whoever asked you to follow me here asked you to go home."
The two of us went upstairs while talking. When we opened the door, the king and the queen were standing at the door waiting for us. Suddenly, a warmth flowed through my heart. The house was no longer dark, and I was no longer alone when I walked in. It felt like home.
