From Bailu's perspective, all she could see was his head bowed, his back looking lonely.
There seemed to be a touch of desolation and loneliness.
The dim light cast his long shadow on the ground, where he remained motionless, like a weathered sculpture.
Bai Lu got up, buttoned up her clothes, straightened her clothes, and moved to his side.
"What’s wrong with you?"
He didn't answer, and instead turned his head to the side.
Bai Lu turned around as well, and accidentally caught a glimpse of his reddened eyes, which were smudged over most of his eye sockets.
Seemingly aware that she had discovered him, he stubbornly turned his head to the other side.
“I know Lulu doesn’t like me drinking.”
His voice was deep and muffled, like that of a solitary traveler who was misunderstood and had to bear everything alone.
Bai Lu was slightly taken aback, not knowing how the topic had veered off course, but looking at the lonely and forlorn figure before her, she didn't forget to explain, "It's not that I don't like it..."
"Lulu just doesn't like it." Xiao Xiao didn't look at her, but spoke with certainty.
The explanation of Leng Yan also goes: "When discussing cooperation, drinking is a sign of satisfaction and approval of the cooperation, and a sign of respect for the partner. When friends get together, drinking and clinking glasses is a tacit expression of friendship that needs no words."
"I can't just refuse to drink when someone offers me a toast. It's hard to refuse people's requests. Social interactions and obligations often involve drinking, so what can I do..."
Bai Lu hugged the child's body, which was bent over by the light, and patted his back gently: "Okay, okay, I understand."
She was neither an ignorant little girl nor a naive newcomer to society who knew nothing.
She understood the principles of social interaction and drinking under the influence of her family education in her previous life, as well as the business parties and social gatherings her aunt had personally experienced with her.
I also understand that doing business is not easy.
Being a person is even more difficult.
“I don’t blame you, nor do I dislike your drinking. I’m just worried that drinking too much will harm your health and stomach. We still have a long road ahead of us. Only by staying healthy every day can we grow old together.”
Xiao Xiao hugged Bai Lu tightly, raised his head again, put his arm around Bai Lu's shoulder, and remained silent for a long time.
Her body, which had felt empty for so long, was filled again by the unique warmth of Bailu. Her heart, which had been fluctuating wildly, was caught and put back in place, and the pulsating switch was pressed.
The words hidden in her heart finally surfaced awkwardly: "Every time I drink, Lulu scolds me."
If it weren't for the child's awkward yet serious tone, Bai Lu would have thought he was joking. Now she felt that even Dou E was not as wronged as her.
When did I ever yell at you?
“Every time I come home drunk, you yell at me and hit me, but you never hit me when I haven’t been drinking.”
Xiao Xiao was reasonable and well-founded, but the next second his arms were empty, and he was pushed away by Bai Lu without warning.
She added, "If you hadn't been unreasonable, would I have hit you? Is it considered being mean if you don't say a single harsh word?"
She asked in an even colder tone, "Did I hurt you? I never used any force, so you're not injured at all?"
Where does it hurt?
