Xiao Ran's intuition told him that this girl was upset about what happened during the day.

After all, she's his older sister. Anyone would feel bad after such a fight.

The girl did not reply to the message Xiao Ran sent.

I still feel uneasy.

It's like having a huge rock stuck in your chest; you desperately want to move it, but you just can't seem to find a way.

The more effort you put in, the more physically and mentally exhausted you become.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the refrigerator.

Everyone says that drinking can help you forget your troubles, so why don't I have a drink myself?

Since she was alone anyway, she drank some drinks and then went upstairs.

The girl got up. Too lazy to even put on slippers, she simply walked barefoot towards the refrigerator.

Holding the two bottles of beer he hadn't finished during the last celebration of Xiao Ran's divorce, he opened the balcony door and went outside.

The summer evening breeze is very cool and carries a damp feeling.

The girl raised her head, her beautiful eyes looking up at the sky.

The starlight isn't good tonight. The night sky is pitch black, as if it's been covered by someone. There's hardly any light, except for one star, which is exceptionally bright and looks rather lonely.

The girl stared blankly at the star, opened the can, and took a sip.

It's icy cold.

She took another sip and gradually got used to the icy feeling.

......

After noticing the girl's unhappiness, Xiao Ran ate a little something, and when he felt it was about time, he said he had something to do and took a taxi back.

As soon as I got off the bus, I couldn't wait to head home.

Xiao Ran's home is located in the middle of the residential area. He had probably been drinking, and now, with the breeze blowing, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He squinted and looked towards his building. Xiao Ran's house was on the top floor, and all the lights in the house were off.

He raised an eyebrow, guessing that Yan Xici was already asleep.

Thinking about it, I unconsciously slowed down my pace.

Even my heart felt a little more relaxed.

After entering the building and going up to the fourth floor, I skillfully entered the password before opening the door and going inside. In the dim moonlight, I walked towards the coffee table to pour myself some water.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I saw a girl fast asleep on the sofa.

It's really embarrassing to think about.

The depressed girl ignored her pitiful alcohol tolerance. Naively, she only intended to sit on the sofa for a while, but ended up falling asleep.

So I slept straight until now. After a day of suffering, I'm sleeping so soundly now that I haven't even had a dream.

The silvery moonlight shone freely on the girl.

It accentuated her already outstanding figure even more perfectly, and her originally warm fair skin now looked like cool fair skin.

Especially her long, straight legs and delicate feet, they were so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

However, Xiao Ran showed no appreciation whatsoever.

He sighed, walked over to her, and sat down on the coffee table opposite her, nudging her gently.

She was fast asleep, her head casually resting on her slender arm, half of it dangling off the sofa.

The pretty face bulged out a little bump from being squeezed, making it look incredibly cute.

Xiao Ran looked at her with a helpless expression.

That girl is such a worry!

What does it mean to sleep on the sofa?

"Xi Ci, get up," Xiao Ran called to her.

The girl, numbed by alcohol, wasn't completely unresponsive; she was practically dead.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran became a little worried, so he tried even harder, but there was still no response.

Looking at the sleeping girl, Xiao Ran sighed helplessly. To be honest, he really didn't want to carry her up.

After all, I had been drinking and felt weak all over, but I couldn't just leave her sleeping on the sofa without holding her, especially since her leg was still injured and she might get a stiff neck.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran pursed his lips.

Never mind, I'll just carry him up...

He bent down, put one hand under the girl's knees and the other hand under her neck, then stood up.

To be honest, it was a bit of a struggle.

It's not because girls are heavier.

The main problem was that I had been drinking, and many of my nerves were already in a semi-numb state, making it very difficult to carry someone.

On the contrary, the girl in his arms was loose and limp, with her arms hanging down casually.

Xiao Ran turned and walked towards the stairs.

The lights weren't on to begin with, and I was also holding a big girl in my arms.

I couldn't see what was under my feet at all. I missed the first step, my ankle twisted, my leg slipped, and my knee hit the step.

In an instant, the stinging pain struck, causing Xiao Ran to gasp in pain.

"hiss"

As they drew closer, their faces almost touched. At that distance, Xiao Ran could even smell her warm, alcohol-scented breath.

He frowned, looking at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms. Goodness, she'd been drinking.

How heartbroken they must be.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

I'll just comfort myself properly tomorrow.

With a sudden effort, he stood up and, despite the pain, lifted the girl onto his back.

There are two sets of stairs, a total of nineteen steps.

He finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he reached the girl's bedroom door.

Using the dim moonlight, they walked into the girl's room and carefully placed her on the bed.

Perhaps feeling the softness of her bed, the girl subconsciously hugged the Hello Kitty toy beside the bed, and even restlessly put one leg on it.

Then, with a soft gurgling sound, she drifted off to sleep again.

Xiao Ran looked at her sleeping posture and couldn't help but laugh and cry. She really was a child who hadn't grown up.

Feeling uneasy, he pulled over the pink summer blanket next to him and covered the girl with it before getting up and leaving.

Back on the first floor, I turned on the light and looked at my knees.

Just as I expected, I only got a minor scrape.

However, it's nothing serious.

Remembering that Yan Xici had been injured just two days ago, he suddenly felt like laughing.

What kind of fate is it that even injuries are contagious?

They're all on the right leg.

After drinking some water, Xiao Ran went back to his bedroom, changed into his pajamas, and then lay down on the bed to go to sleep.

Thinking about the girl saying she wanted a hanging chair, he picked up his phone from beside his pillow and started browsing JD.com.

Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well place the order now. It will arrive tomorrow and I can use it right away. Consider it a surprise for her.

Maybe she'll cheer up after seeing the hanging chair?
