Chapter 65 "So do you like him?"

He Chi gently put Jiang Yining in the back seat and fastened her seat belt.

She was not completely asleep, but just dazed. As soon as she sat down, she found a comfortable position and tilted her head to look at He Chi.

He Chi bent down outside the car and looked at her, hooking the long hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear.

Looking at the handsome face very close to him, Jiang Yining smiled.

She reached out, her fingers gently falling on his face, stroking his eyebrows, his high nose, and finally lightly touching his lips.

Jiang Yining's cheeks were flushed, and there was a faint smile in her misty almond eyes. She no longer had that cold feeling. I don't know what she was thinking about, but she smiled innocently.

She said, "You look a lot like He Chi."

He Chi held her hand and let her fingers trace his face carefully.

He had never seen her truly drunk before. At this moment, He Chi's heart softened and his voice softened. "Really? You know him?"

Jiang Yining nodded obediently.

He Chi held her hand and put it to his lips and kissed it, then asked, "Do you like him?"

As if some key words were triggered, Jiang Yining paused. She neither shook her head nor nodded, but pursed her lips and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "I can't say."

After saying the three words "I can't say", Jiang Yining closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He Chi was puzzled. What was there to hide?

Before leaving, Teacher Lin repeatedly told him to keep an eye on Jiang Yining and not let him drink too much.

If he took the drunk Jiang Yining home, he would definitely be scolded. When he was near the fork in the road, He Chi thought about turning back home.

But it was Jiang Yining's first time going back, and Teacher Lin and grandma had carefully decorated the bedroom, and grandma had been looking forward to it for a long time. It was really unacceptable for him to take her away without saying a word.

He Chi placed his hands on the steering wheel, his fingers tapping rhythmically along with the countdown numbers on the phone's navigation.

After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to keep going forward and not drive into the left lane.

Lin Shu and He Yuwen's bedroom was outside. When she heard the sound of a car outside, she got up, changed out of her pajamas and left the room.

When Lin Shu saw He Chi carrying Jiang Yining upstairs, he wanted to go find a feather duster.

The mother and son looked at each other, and He Chi coughed guiltily, "Mom, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Lin Shu said, "It's not even ten o'clock yet."

Seeing her coming over, He Chi first carried Jiang Yining back to the bedroom. The person in his arms poked his head out and said to Lin Shu with a silly smile, "Teacher Lin, why are you here too?"

He Chi quickly hugged the man and said softly, "Okay, don't move."

Lin Shu quickened his pace and stepped forward to help hold Jiang Yining's head. "Yining, be good and don't move."

Jiang Yining rubbed his cheek against Lin Shu's palm a few times, frowning and saying, "Teacher Lin, I feel dizzy."

Lin Shu coaxed her, "You won't feel dizzy soon. Mom will get you some hangover medicine."

Hearing the word "mom", Jiang Yining's mind was flooded with painful memories. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said to Lin Shu with a look of grievance, "Teacher Lin, my mother is gone..."

As Jiang Yining spoke, tears began to fall one by one, and soon she began to sob.

He Chi had just put her on the bed when the mother and son looked at her with heartache and tears in their eyes.

He held the person in his arms and said, "We are here for you from now on, don't cry."

Lin Shu said with pity in his voice, "Let her cry for a while. I'll go downstairs to find some hangover medicine."

He Chi's uncle loves to drink. Every time there is a family dinner, he gets drunk. He Qingwen has a lot of hangover medicine at home.

Lin Shu went to He Qingwen to ask for hangover medicine. She poured a glass of warm water and returned to He Chi's bedroom. Jiang Yining had finished crying and was nestled in He Chi's arms, sniffing.

He Chi changed his sitting position and sat behind Jiang Yining so that she could lean on him.

"Mom, give me some water."

Lin Shu gave all the water and medicine to He Chi.

Jiang Yining's eyes were red from crying, and her almond-shaped eyes were wet. Seeing her like this, Lin Shu felt distressed. She found a place to sit beside the bed, facing Jiang Yining.

She gently stroked Jiang Yining's cheek, "Yining, don't be sad. Mom will love you even more from now on. Your mother doesn't want you to be sad. She just wants you to live a happy life."

Jiang Yining leaned in He Chi's arms, found a comfortable position, and began to feel sleepy.

She woke up and fell asleep alternately, and He Chi didn't know whether Jiang Yining was really asleep this time.

Lin Shu wiped her tears with a tissue, then stood up and said, "He Chi, change Yining's clothes. It's better to wipe her body, otherwise she won't sleep well."

The person in his arms finally calmed down. He Chi reached out and pulled up her coat, his fingers still pinching her clothes.

After hearing what Teacher Lin said, He Chi lowered his eyes to look at the person leaning on him, and for the first time he felt that he didn't know where to put his eyes.

He raised his head and looked at Teacher Lin, his thin lips moving slightly, "Me?"

Lin Shu glared at him, "If it's not you, then what about me?"

She said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal about changing my wife's clothes and wiping her body?"

After the door closed, He Chi asked Jiang Yining to lie down. He locked the door and returned to the bed. He looked at Jiang Yining who was already fast asleep and suddenly felt dry mouth.

He rubbed his head in frustration.

After thinking for a moment, He Chi walked towards the cloakroom. There were pajamas and nightgowns in the closet. He chose the latter. Almost all the styles were quite standard.

Returning to the bed, he put down his nightgown, went to the bathroom to get a clean towel, wet it with water, and took it out again.

He Chi only wiped Jiang Yining's face and hands, and after putting the towel aside, he paused for a long time, not knowing where to start.

He helped Jiang Yining up again and called out twice, "Yining..."

Seeing her reaction, He Chi shook her arm and woke her up. After seeing her open her eyelids, He Chi coaxed her, "I'll help you change your clothes. Do you agree?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Jiang Yining grumbled in dissatisfaction, blaming him for waking her up.

He Chi didn't hear what she said, so he put his ear close to her and asked, "Are you saying 'hmm'?"

Jiang Yining rubbed his chest and ignored him.

He Chi sighed. If he had known earlier, he would not have bothered to answer the work call.

After a while, he slowly reached out and took off her thin coat. She was wearing a halter dress. He Chi fumbled around behind her for a while before finding the small zipper.

Before pulling down the zipper, He Chi first pulled the nightgown over her head.

Suddenly, his palm was filled with a delicate touch. He Chi moved his hand away as if he had been electrocuted, and his breathing became flustered.

After helping her change her clothes, He Chi took a deep breath.

This kid Chen Ran just happened to give her two glasses of strong wine.

Jiang Yining didn't know how long he had slept. After being woken up by the urge to urinate, he pressed his dizzy head.

There was a dim warm light on in the bedroom. She threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and staggered towards the master bathroom.

The door was closed, and light shone through the frosted glass. Jiang Yining opened the door and saw He Chi standing under the shower and getting showered.

He faced the wall, one hand resting on it.
