Chapter 266 She is a family member

The audience erupted in screams.

But perhaps it was because Qi Xi was positioned too close to the stage at that moment.

She was so close that she only needed to look up to meet Zhou Heran's gaze through the dazzling stage lights.

Qi Xi's heart began to race.

She had a strange intuition that Zhou Heran was right next to her, whispering these words that sounded like a confession.

No, no, no, Qi Xiaoxi, wake up! Zhou Zhou is addressing all the fans!

Qi Xi patted her face, but then thought, she was also a fan of Zhou Zhou, so how could it not be considered a confession to her?

No, that's not right. I almost forgot, she's already unfollowed him because she was chasing after him.

Waaah, does she not even have the chance to deceive herself anymore?

Zhou Heran, unaware of the chaotic thoughts that had flooded Qi Xi's mind in that instant, only noticed that the girl's expression had become as colorful as a rainbow in just a few seconds.

So cute!

After the concert, as is the band's tradition, they would go out for a meal together to celebrate the success of the concert.

This time, Zhou Heran naturally brought Qi Xi along as well.

"Zhou Zhou, this is your band's internal dinner. Would it be inappropriate for an outsider like me to go?"

Actually, Qi Xi asked that question on purpose.

After all, Zhou Heran had previously taken her into a private place like a recording studio, and his teammates even called her "little sister-in-law."

This is all standard procedure when it comes to having a meal.

“We’re already family to Xiao Qixi, and this time, before I even said anything, they insisted on inviting you to join in the fun.”

Does this rounding mean she's now considered part of the band? Like a family member? Hehe.

Qi Xi covered her mouth and chuckled, nodding while trying to appear calm.

Because they are celebrities, the band had booked a private room well in advance.

When Qi Xi and Zhou Heran arrived, everyone else was already seated.

"Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, come on, we've been waiting for you. Sit here."

They were very sensible and left the two seats at the head of the table empty for Qi Xi and Zhou Heran to sit on.

Zhou Heran readily agreed and sat down with Qi Xi.

"Come on, let's raise a glass to celebrate the successful conclusion of the concert."

"cheers!"

Seeing that Qi Xi had drunk too much in one breath, her teammates exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you really have a high alcohol tolerance!"

"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be such a good drinker. Come on, fill her up."

But Zhou Heran stopped him, saying, "You haven't eaten anything yet, your stomach is empty. Drinking alcohol right away will easily make you drunk. Eat something first."

After speaking softly to Qi Xi, Zhou Heran looked up at his teammates and launched into a tirade: "What are you doing, pouring drinks for a girl? Don't you have any manners at all?"

Qi Xi grabbed the hem of his clothes and tugged at it slightly.

Zhou Heran turned her head again to listen to her say, "It's okay, Zhou Zhou. I can hold my liquor. It's just a glass or two. I won't get drunk."

"Xiao Qixi, I know you didn't want to spoil the fun, which is why you drank it so heartily. But I don't want you to force yourself to drink because of me. Besides, drinking is bad for your health. Moderation is good for your mood, you know?"

So he knew everything.

Qi Xi nodded obediently.

However, towards the end, because he was enjoying the food, Qi Xi drank quite a bit.

Just as Zhou Heran had said, she drank a glass of wine as soon as she sat down, and her stomach was empty. Although she ate a lot of food afterward, she drank a few more glasses of wine.

Towards the end of the meal, Qi Xi clearly felt a bit nauseous.

When she felt nauseous, she quickly covered her mouth.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Although Zhou Heran was drinking with his teammates, he kept an eye on Qi Xi.

Seeing the person cover their mouth and leave hastily, clearly not feeling well, he also stood up.

"I'll go take a look."

His teammates couldn't stand it anymore and clicked their tongues, saying, "Hurry up and go, your sister-in-law's departure has taken our Brother Zhou's heart with her."

Qi Xi did indeed vomit in the restroom, and after vomiting, she was a little unsteady on her feet.

After washing my mouth and straightening up, I suddenly felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around me.

Just as she swayed, a pair of strong hands caught her in time.

"Is your stomach upset? There's a pharmacy nearby, it would be better to take some medicine."

Although Qi Xi was so drunk that her mind was foggy, she knew that the person who caught her in time was Zhou Heran.

At this moment, she still had the mind to think of something, and while shaking her head, she pushed Zhou Heran away.

"No, no, this is the women's restroom. Zhouzhou, you need to get out of here, or you'll be arrested as a pervert."

Zhou Heran found it both amusing and helpless. "Don't worry, I put up a sign outside saying it was being cleaned before I came in, so no one will come in. But you're drunk now, so you can't be stubborn. You have to listen to me, okay?"

Qi Xi exclaimed, "Zhou Zhou is so smart!"

After praising him, Qi Xi felt his head was very heavy and collapsed onto Zhou Heran's chest with a thud.

Zhou Heran originally wanted to help her out, since they were no longer in a romantic relationship, and such behavior would be too presumptuous.

But the girl was so drunk she was staggering and couldn't even walk steadily, so they had to act expediently.

"Little Qi Xi, I apologize for the offense."

At the same time, Zhou Heran bent down and steadily picked up Qi Xi.

Qi Xi instinctively hooked her arms around the back of Zhou Heran's neck to prevent her from falling while she was suspended in mid-air.

"Zhou Zhou, you're so close to me."

As she spoke, Qi Xi reached out her hand. Just when Zhou Heran thought she was going to touch his face, he saw her reach over his cheek, wrap her arms around his neck, and bury her face almost entirely in the crook of his neck.

"That's great, Zhouzhou is so great."

Zhou Heran smiled, his heart sinking as well. "Qi Xi is also very good."

"We're all fine! We're all fine!"

That's it, I'm really speechless.

Zhou Heran carried the person and went directly to a nearby pharmacy to buy medicine.

He placed Qi Xi on a bench in front of the pharmacy, squatted down, and instructed her, "Little Qi Xi, I'm going in to buy medicine. I'll be back in two minutes. You stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back, okay?"

Qi Xi nodded obediently, like kindergarten children sitting in a row waiting to eat fruit.

"I'm super well-behaved."

Zhou Heran laughed and patted her head, "Yes, our little Qi Xi is the best girl."

When Zhou Heran finished buying the medicine and came out carrying the things, he found the bench empty.

His expression changed instantly, and he started looking for people everywhere.

"Qi Xi? Qi Xi?"

Just as Zhou Heran was getting extremely anxious and even considered calling the police, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a flower bed out of the corner of his eye.

The little girl he was so eager to find was squatting under the streetlight.

The bright yellow light enveloped her, elongating her shadow behind her.

"Little Qi Xi, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing the voice, Qi Xi tilted her head back, stretched out her hands towards Zhou Heran, and spoke in a coquettish tone with a nasal quality.

"hug."
