After the banquet ended, Su Jin said goodbye to her friends, got into her car, and closed her eyes.

She wasn't too tired, but she was feeling drowsy because she had been thinking too much.

Half asleep and half awake, I felt a gust of cold wind blow in, and then something warm pressed against my face.

"Wife."

Su Jin opened her eyes and saw Gu Xingze's flushed cheeks.

No wonder he feels hot; he gets drunk very easily when he drinks.

Gu Xingze held her in his arms, his eyes glazed over. "Wife, I love you so much. You love me too, right?"

"Um."

He really has a low alcohol tolerance; it seems like he only had two drinks just now.

He was so drunk he was completely out of his mind...

Gu Xingze took her slightly cold hands in his hands. "Why are you so cold? Let me warm them up for you."

As he spoke, he lifted his clothes and slipped Su Jin's hand inside.

"It will get warm once it's warmed up."

He chuckled foolishly as he asked her, "Is it warm?"

Startled, Su Jin clenched her fist and accidentally scratched him with her fingernail.

Gu Xingze cooperated and called out, "Wife, do you want it?"

He looked around and muttered to himself, "No, let's go home and play some more."

Su Jin pinched him in a fit of embarrassment and anger, "Who wanted to play here? Wasn't it you who put my hand in there?"

Gu Xingze lowered his head and held her hand through her clothes. "Don't twist it. What will you play with if you break it?"

Su Jin listened to his frivolous remarks without blushing or skipping a beat, and continued to warm her hands.

...

When he got home, Gu Xingze stumbled into the bathroom and began to vomit violently.

Even through the door, Su Jin felt uncomfortable hearing that sound.

She called out, "Do you want me to come in and help you?"

Gu Xingze was half sober by this point, and he knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach.

After vomiting most of it, she finally had a moment to return to Su Jin, saying, "Don't come in, it's too disgusting."

He cleaned up the mess with a pale face, then brushed his teeth before coming out.

Su Jin was sitting on the bed looking at her phone when she saw him come out and said, "The water's over there, have some."

Gu Xingze looked in the direction she pointed and placed a glass of warm water inside.

He was immediately moved to tears, saying, "Wife, you're so good to me."

He drank the free warm water, snuggled up to Su Jin, and said in a spoiled tone, "Wife, my stomach hurts, can you rub it for me?"

Su Jin looked up from her phone and glanced at Gu Xingze. "You only had two drinks, and you're already feeling this bad? Are you serious?"

Gu Xingze rubbed against her waist, "Wife, please help me, okay?"

Su Jin couldn't stand his sticky, whiny voice any longer, so she reluctantly slipped her hand inside his clothes and started massaging his abs.

"Mmm...that feels good."

"If you make that kind of vulgar sound again, I won't massage you anymore."

Gu Xingze took advantage of the situation and hugged her waist.

"I'm not lying to you, I really feel terrible, and I feel like throwing up, but I can't throw anything up."

Su Jin asked him, "You know your own alcohol tolerance, so why do you still drink? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Gu Xingze held her hand, which was resting on his stomach. "I was so happy that I thought I'd have a drink."

He sat up. "Do you think I'm useless?"

Su Jin was completely confused. "When did I ever complain about you? I'm rubbing your hands right now, aren't I?"

He persisted, "Then kiss me, and I'll believe you."

"Then don't believe it." Su Jin withdrew her hand.

The warmth in his stomach vanished instantly, and he felt a sharp, churning pain in his stomach.

His face was pale, but he still maintained his usual coquettish manner, "I was wrong, please rub it for me."

"You're not without hands."

Gu Xingze started to pretend to cry, very fakely, "Waaaaah, wife, it hurts so much, I'm not lying to you, it feels good when you rub it."

Su Jin mumbled something and resignedly rubbed his stomach.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Gu Xingze suddenly spoke up, "I hate your brother."

"ah?"

Su Jin was puzzled. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Why do you dislike him?"

Gu Xingze rolled over, his hair drooping down and covering his eyebrows and eyes. "I hate myself too."

Su Jin was even more confused. "What exactly do you mean?"

He said softly and forlornly, "Every time you talk to him, I feel like I'm superfluous. I can't participate in the topics you two discuss because I wasn't a part of your past..."

This is a sense of powerlessness that arises from within. Having never participated in Su Jin's life, he cannot blame anyone, because time will not stop for anyone, and this problem is destined to be unsolvable.

Su Jin sensed something was wrong, "Are you jealous?"

Gu Xingze rarely denied it, saying, "It's not jealousy, it's regret."

Su Jin didn't know how to respond, so she simply kept quiet.

Gu Xingze, however, got stuck on the point and pressed on, "Will we have a future? Many, many futures?"

Su Jin remained silent again.

"We will both have a future together."

Gu Xingze was not satisfied with this answer, as if he and Su Jin were going to live their own lives from now on.

But he dared not say anything and held her tightly.

He whispered in her ear, "I love my wife, we will be together."

He held her and gently rocked her, but Su Jin did not relax.

He was good to her, and that kindness made her feel guilty.

Su Jin disliked this feeling, like a caterpillar crawling up her shoulder, and she wanted to shake it off desperately.

...

early morning.

"Ding! Successfully bound."

Gu Xingze suddenly looked up. "Wife, didn't you hear anything?"
