Wen Yixing wore a light green long dress when she came to the company banquet.

The hotel corridor was rather cold, so Shen Jingshao helped her put on her long white down jacket and took her hand as they walked forward.

Wen Yixing was more obedient this time, following Shen Jingshao without question.

Fang Jingyao looked at Wen Yixing curiously: "Mom, how much did you drink today?"

In fact, in his previous life, his mother had never drunk alcohol since he could remember. This was the first time Fang Jingyao had ever seen his mother drunk. She looked quite calm, completely different from him.

He was neglected during high school and often drank alcohol.

When he got drunk, he started acting crazy. Once, he even slept on the main road late at night. He was eventually found by the traffic police and taken to the police station.

Hearing her son's question, Wen Yixing thought for a moment and answered very honestly, "That's all I drank."

After saying that, he made a hand gesture.

Fang Jingyao understood; it seemed his mother's alcohol tolerance was indeed not very high.

To match her dress, Wen Yixing also wore high heels today.

Her high heels were sparkly, and Shen Jingshao could see her slender ankles when he looked down.

Worried that she might twist her ankle while walking, Shen Jingshao lowered his head and asked softly, "Shall I carry you?"

After seeing Wen Yixing nod, Shen Jingshao bent down, picked her up, and walked towards the parking lot.

Fang Jingyao followed along eagerly.

——

Wen Yixing's schedule has been very regular these past few days; she wakes up promptly at 6:30.

It was already daylight outside, and Wen Yixing could hear the sounds of washing up coming from the bathroom in the bedroom.

She had just sat up in bed when she saw Shen Jingshao come out of the bathroom.

He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and his hair was wet.

Wen Yixing didn't quite understand why Shen Jingshao was taking a shower so early in the morning.

She glanced down at the time on her phone, then looked at Shen Jingshao. "Why are you awake so early?"

Her voice was a little hoarse. Shen Jingshao took the water glass from the table and fed her some water. "Drink some water. Are you still feeling unwell?"

Wen Yixing lowered her head and drank some water, slowly recalling some of the things that happened last night.

She couldn't remember the specifics, only that after returning, she kept talking to Shen Jingshao, and later she started sobbing.

She couldn't remember what she said or why she cried.

Thinking this, Wen Yixing looked up and saw several obvious teeth marks on Shen Jingshao's neck.

Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, for Shen Jingshao looked down at her. Wen Yixing, holding a water glass, looked at him somewhat bewilderedly, "Your neck, is that what I tried to bite last night?"

Shen Jingshao was amused by her expression: "I don't think I can bite it myself."

Once she sobered up, Wen Yixing could hardly imagine herself acting like a drunkard in the middle of the night. She pursed her lips and reached out to pull on Shen Jingshao's clothes: "Sit down and let me see."

Shen Jingshao then sat down on the edge of her bed.

Wen Yixing took a closer look. Most of the marks on his neck were quite light, except for one spot near his collarbone where she had bitten him more severely.

Wen Yixing felt a little sorry for him.

She didn't understand why she had a biting habit when she was drunk.

"I'll go find you some medicine."

Wen Yixing was about to get out of bed to get her medicine, but Shen Jingshao grabbed her wrist: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt. I'm the one who told you to bite me."

Wen Yixing's eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Shen Jingshao said in a serious tone, "I like it when you bite me."

Wen Yixing stared at Shen Jingshao for two seconds, then raised her hand to touch his forehead.

The temperature is normal; there's no fever.

She was wearing a simple camisole nightgown, kneeling in front of him, and Shen Jingshao could easily reach out and put his arm around her slender waist.

Because he had just taken a shower, his body temperature was a little low. Wen Yixing reached out and pinched his slightly damp hair, asking in confusion, "It's only seven o'clock in the morning, why did you get up so early to take a shower?"

Shen Jingshao: "I felt a bit hot and couldn't sleep, so I got up to take a shower."

The bedroom was well-heated, and Wen Yixing felt the temperature was just right, while Chen Jingshao might have felt too hot.

"You can turn the temperature down a bit, or open the window slightly, and it won't be so hot."

As Wen Yixing spoke, she noticed the slight redness in Shen Jingshao's eyes.

Over the years they've been together, Wen Yixing has gotten to know his habits better. Whenever he stays up all night, his eyes always get a little bloodshot.

Wen Yixing paused before asking, "Don't tell me you didn't sleep all night?"

"She's asleep," Shen Jingshao said.

Wen Yixing asked skeptically, "Really?"

Shen Jingshao: "I slept for two hours."

Wen Yixing looked up at the time and said softly, "Then you can sleep a little longer."

Shen Jingshao grabbed her hand, not wanting her to leave: "You should sleep a little longer. You only fell asleep at 1:30 yesterday, and you've only slept for five hours. Get some more rest."

Since there was nothing else to do today, Wen Yixing decided to take a day off. She looked up at Shen Jingshao and replied, "Okay, then go and dry your hair first."

It was still dark outside at seven o'clock. Shen Jingshao turned off the bedroom light and went to bed. The first thing he did was pull her into his arms and hold her.

Wen Yixing had gotten used to him like this. In fact, there was a time when she was under a lot of pressure, and she could only fall asleep peacefully when he was by her side.

Wen Yixing wasn't sleepy. She noticed that Shen Jingshao was still awake, so she whispered to him, "I was drunk last night. What did I say to you? I can't remember."

Shen Jingshao looked down at her, his forehead gently touching hers, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said softly, "You said that if you went back to high school, you would like me."
