Chapter 130 Drunk

That night, Qi Gu stayed at Lin Hanzhi's house again.

As the saying goes, once is new, twice is familiar. Qi Gu did not experience the stubbornness of sleeping with his friends at night during his rebellious adolescence, but instead experienced it a few years after graduating from college.

But now, the old man doesn’t have time to care where he sleeps at night or whether he goes home or not.

Qi Gu still lived in the same suite he had lived in before. The room was fully equipped with everything, including a series of luxury brand home furnishings, noble and soft. One piece of furniture could cover the net interest rate of Fu'ai Guan for one month.

That night, after checking Mu Xingchen's homework, Qi Gu sat on the balcony for a while but still couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, he finally decided to harass Lin Hanzhi next door.

Passing through the long corridor with lanterns hanging on both sides, Qi Gu knocked on Lin Hanzhi's door.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hanzhi's voice came from behind him, with a hint of fruity smell. The voice was a little strange too, and the speech speed was a little slower than usual.

"How did you..."

"I was looking for something on the first floor just now." Lin Hanzhi explained, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's nothing, I just can't sleep. I want to sit with you for a while. It's okay if you're sleepy." During the time in junior high and high school, Qi Gu envied other classmates. He envied them for having friends with whom he could go to and from school, or for chatting late into the night with candlelight and staying up all night. The next day, he would come to school with huge dark circles under his eyes and be scolded by the teachers.

Humans are not plants or trees, so they will always feel lonely. During that period, the master was very busy and was always traveling around.

Therefore, Qi Gu did not experience such ordinary happiness.

Lin Hanzhi entered the password, opened the door, and motioned Qi Gu to go in. The room was still the same, with a faint minty smell that made it seem cold and chilly, somewhat similar to the feeling that Lin Hanzhi gave off when he occasionally stopped smiling.

But this time, there seemed to be a sweet scent of some kind of brewed berries in the room, mixed with the smell of alcohol.

Qi Gu didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just some kind of aromatherapy. "Is there anything fun? What do you usually do when you spend the night with your friends?"

"Playing games?"

Qi Gu quickly refused. It would be fine if he was taken away to die for an entire afternoon, but he would be fine at night.

"Then let's chat and say bad things about people we hate together?" Lin Hanzhi said, "It is said that saying bad things about people we hate together is the easiest way to bring people closer together."

Qi Gu: “…”

This is unreliable advice.

But out of subtle curiosity, he asked, "So who do you hate the most?"

Lin Hanzhi pointed at himself: "This."

Qi Gu was stunned. The smile that had just appeared on the corners of his mouth quickly disappeared, like an unlucky person who walked out of a warm coffee shop and was blown in the face by a biting cold wind.

Lin Hanzhi was not joking, Qi Gu could feel it. In fact, the other party's words and deeds often reveal a hidden world-weary mentality.

"Why do you hate yourself?" Qi Gu asked.

"Because I'm not brave enough, not strong enough, and I take on too little, I always do useless work?" Lin Hanzhi said casually, judging himself with the most severe attitude.

"But these are problems that everyone has." Qi Gu said, "Don't you feel too exhausted if you demand such a strict attitude from yourself?"

He actually didn't know what Lin Hanzhi was talking about specifically. After all, in his opinion, Lin Hanzhi was essentially lazy.

"Another reason why I hate myself has appeared," Lin Hanzhi pointed at his nose and said, "I am still arrogant and feel that I must do well and must take responsibility."

Such far-fetched arguments and childish actions finally made Qi Gu realize that something was wrong. He moved closer, sniffed Lin Hanzhi's lips, and smelled the scent of fruit wine.

It turned out that he drank too much. This man was drunk and his face was pale. What could make him blush?

Just as Qi Gu was thinking this, he saw Lin Hanzhi's eyes widen, and then, the pink color that climbed up from the ears gradually spread over her entire face.

Qi Gu: “…”

Did the alcohol take effect on my face so suddenly?

"Why did you drink so much?" Qi Gu frowned and reached out to grab Lin Hanzhi's collar, intending to let him clean up and go to bed first. After all, who wants to chat with a drunkard late at night?

But the drunkard wouldn't give in: "Yes, I am disgusting, and I am still drinking!"

His voice was still low, but the words he said were so childish that Qi Gu reasonably suspected that if he recorded this scene, Lin Hanzhi would be so ashamed that she would jump into the river and commit suicide the next morning.

Qi Gu said helplessly: "Stop making trouble. I'll ask the housekeeper to bring you a bowl of hangover soup, and then take you to wash up. Then you can go to sleep."

Qi Gu didn't know why he was fine on the way back, but started drinking after he came back. What kind of stimulation did he receive?

I dialed the internal line and explained the situation to the housekeeper. Soon, the other party arrived with sobering soup.

When Qi Gu heard the bell, he wanted to open the door, but Lin Hanzhi refused to let him go. She stuck to him like a piece of extremely sticky chewing gum and could not be peeled off. Qi Gu had no choice but to maintain this posture and open the door for the housekeeper with an expressionless face.

Unexpectedly, the butler outside the door was even more expressionless than him. He only said, "This is the hangover soup. Thank you for taking care of Mr. Qi. You can call me if you need anything."

Qi Gu said: "You're welcome."

Then, Lin Hanzhi, who had come up to her, covered her mouth with his large, minty-smelling hand.

Lin Hanzhi slammed the door, let go of Qi Gu, and said angrily: "Why are you like this? Didn't you say that we two would talk at night? Why are you talking to others?"

Qi Gu: “…”

Okay, that’s pretty much putting the blame on someone else.

"Why did you drink so much?" Qi Gu asked.

"Don't they say that a good drink can help you get rid of your sorrow? I want to give it a try." Lin Hanzhi stood swaying from side to side, looking like he was drunk and not drunk at the same time. Not a single word came out of his mouth that could be deduced logically, and he didn't say a word that involved any specific events. "It's all lies, fake! I'm still so sad, and you're still talking to others!"

He was talking seriously when he suddenly started to accuse Qi Gu of being indecisive.

Qi Gu really didn't expect that Lin Hanzhi would be like this after drinking. He was childish and domineering, just like a naughty kid and difficult to deal with.

Although he is clingy when he is sober, he should at least be reasonable.

But there is no reasoning with a drunkard, he just acts as he pleases.

Qi Gu placed the hangover soup in front of Lin Hanzhi and ordered in a cold tone: "Drink it."

Lin Hanzhi leaned blankly on the chair, his whole body slowly sliding down like a blanket.

Qi Gu couldn't help but laugh.

But Lin Hanzhi seemed to have caught him. He suddenly stood up and pressed Qi Gu against the back of the chair, saying incoherently: "I'm not completely useless, right? I can still make you laugh."

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Lin Hanzhi's breath was much hotter than before. When it sprayed on Qi Gu's neck, it easily gave Qi Gu goose bumps.

It’s too hot, Qi Gu thought expressionlessly.

But he warned Lin Hanzhi: "Don't say that. If you scold my friend like that again, I will be unhappy."

Lin Hanzhi was refreshed by his warning. A smile appeared on her worried face. She obediently took the sobering soup and drank it all.
