Chapter 227 I don't remember
The next morning.
The sky was turning a pale white, birds were singing in the trees, and the fragrance of flowers, grass, and trees wafted onto the windowsill on the breeze.
When Xiao Cheng opened his eyes, he saw the girl sleeping peacefully in his arms as usual. This was the scene he always saw when he woke up at home the next morning after getting drunk.
Unlike before, the girl's bright red lips now had two small, not-yet-fully-healed wounds, with tiny, dark red blood droplets clinging to them.
When you reach out and touch it, the tiny blood droplet falls off completely.
The open wound immediately gathers red blood, which will congeal again in the next second, and then droplets of blood will fall.
Xiao Cheng subconsciously pressed his hand against the reddened corner of her lips, but paused when his fingertips touched the softness, forgetting to pull back.
Bai Lu frowned in pain from the pressure, pursed her lips, and slowly opened her eyes, her blurry vision gradually clearing.
A familiar face with distinct features came into view, and Bai Lu was startled, blinking her eyes.
Why hasn't this guy left yet?
Every time she woke up the next morning after a night of drinking, he was already gone!
This time, not only did he not leave, but he also pressed down on the corner of her mouth and looked at her with that... look as if he had been hurt by her.
Please, she's the one who got hurt!
Bai Lu looked at Xiao Cheng's increasingly dark eyes, and her lips twitched slightly: "Good morning~"
“You were drunk last night. You couldn’t walk straight and you didn’t know which way to go. You went into my room and slept there.”
Bai Lu is definitely the most miserable person in the world, without exception. She suffers herself but also has to find excuses for the culprit.
Xiao Cheng looked into the girl's clear and pure eyes, gently touched the corner of her lips with his fingertips, and slowly withdrew them.
His tone was seemingly indifferent: "What happened to your injury?"
Bai Lu touched the corner of her mouth, looking helpless: "I got this while eating crab last night. The crab leg shell was super hard, I even managed to crack it open, but it still bit me... and cut me!"
"It's true that eating crabs like this can easily cause injury. Next time, I'll have to use a pair of small pliers to crack the shell before eating it."
Although Bai Lu's tone was sincere and her expression was serious, Xiao Cheng remembered what happened before he got drunk.
He peeled the crab shell, and he broke off the crab legs. I don't know when she took bites of the crab leg shells.
Unless he's drunk, she'll go to the bathroom and come back to munch on the crab shells on the table.
After all, he had already peeled all the crabs.
Xiao Cheng didn't ask anything, but explained and assured that he had entered the wrong room while drunk: "I never entered the wrong room when I was drunk before, and I will be more careful in the future."
Bai Lu believed that the big boss's guarantee was valid, but the child was invalid. Every time he got drunk, it was the child who appeared, so the guarantee was essentially meaningless.
Seeing Xiao Cheng lift the covers and get up to leave, Bai Lu couldn't help but ask a question.
Do you remember what you said last night?
Xiao Cheng turned around at the sound, and Bai Lu had already sat up, her small hands clutching the quilt, her eyes fixed on him.
His eyes, clear and calm as ever, reflected his image only in their center.
Xiao Cheng couldn't remember what he was about to say, and what came out was: "What did I say?"
Bai Lu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just said goodnight a long time ago."
Xiao Cheng gave Bai Lu a deep look. The smile on Bai Lu's face was too perfect, without the slightest flaw.
Aside from a fleeting hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Xiao Cheng had no memory of what he said while drunk, and didn't want to say anything more that might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. He nodded and turned to leave.
It wasn't him who said it after all...
Bai Lu sighed softly, got up, folded the quilt, got out of bed, went to the table by the window, and combed her hair in front of the mirror.
She had just returned to her room last night when her lip was bitten by the child, Xiao Cheng, causing a new wound to bleed from the old one.
The child was terrified, his mouth full of blood.
I hurriedly tucked her into the blanket, ran to the closet to find clothes for her to change into, found some medicine to apply to her wound, and pressed cotton swabs against her wound to try to stop the bleeding.
When the cotton swabs didn't work, we changed to cotton balls, but those didn't work either, and our hands were covered in blood. It was probably the first time the child had encountered such a situation, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
We kept trying to stop the bleeding, and later, she didn't remember when she fell asleep or fainted.
All I remember is that, just a second before my eyes closed, I could still hear the guilty and remorseful apologies echoing in my ears.
"Lulu, I'm sorry..."
"I won't do it again, Lulu, wake up..."
Xiao Wei was brushing his teeth in the yard when he saw his older brother returning from buying breakfast. He stared at him several times along the way.
It seems like he has something to say.
Or perhaps you have something to ask him.
Sure enough, after he quickly finished brushing his teeth and put the water cup and toothbrush back in their places...
He was cornered by his older brother and interrogated.
Do you remember what happened last night?
Xiao Wei was completely confused by the question, but he remembered that whenever his older brother asked him something, it was always about his sister-in-law, so he honestly replied, "My sister-in-law taught me how to eat crabs."
The answer was clearly wrong. The older brother frowned: "It happened after I had been drinking."
Oh... so you don't remember what happened after you got drunk.
Xiao Wei tried hard to recall, and was horrified to find that he couldn't remember what had happened last night.
I patted my head hard, tried to think and think, but I still couldn't remember at all.
Xiao Wei cautiously looked up and saw his elder brother's unprecedentedly anxious expression. His heart trembled. He dared not speak directly, but had to explain, "I only remember that Sixteenth Brother gave me a sip of wine. As for what happened before..."
"I only remember you peeling crabs and shrimp for my sister-in-law, but I don't remember what happened after that."
The situation is basically the same as Xiao Cheng's.
Xiao Cheng pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance: "What time did you go to sleep last night?"
Xiao Wei shook his head tremblingly: "I don't remember. I should have gone to bed quite early. I probably did some work, and both my arms were very tired, so I slept quite soundly and didn't hear any noise outside. I don't know what happened."
Xiao Wei wanted to say that he hadn't heard what Xiao Cheng and his sister-in-law were saying, but seeing Xiao Cheng's increasingly unpleasant expression, he decided to shut up and not say anything if he didn't know.
My brother and sister-in-law must have had a fight last night.
Otherwise, his older brother wouldn't have asked him about last night so early in the morning. His older brother must be trying to regain his memory so he can find the right way to reconcile with his sister-in-law.
Unfortunately, he couldn't help.
Xiao Wei felt very guilty and regretful.
It must be because he drank the wine Luo Shiliu gave him last night that he doesn't remember what happened and slept so soundly that he didn't hear what his older brother and sister-in-law were arguing about.
Before he started drinking, he remembered everything clearly, no matter what happened. He would know when his older brother and sister-in-law opened the door and hear what they said.
I couldn't handle it after drinking last night.
He will never drink alcohol again!
Breakfast time today was unusually quiet. Even though we were eating delicious wontons, there was none of the usual laughter and chatter. Everyone seemed to be preoccupied with their own thoughts.
until.
"Knock knock knock—" The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence.
Bai Lu subconsciously looked up, just as Xiao Cheng was looking over at the same time. Their eyes met, and both of them froze.
Xiao Wei had already run out to open the door on his own.
