Chapter 109, Drunk Si Xu
As Si Xu rubbed Jiang Ran's shoulder, everyone at the table fell silent.
"Jiang Ran..." The man rubbed her shoulder like a puppy and hummed softly, "I'm sleepy."
Jiang Ran moved her arms cautiously, and he immediately hugged her tighter.
"Jiang Ran, I'm sleepy and want to sleep..." The aggrieved and coquettish voice directly threw Jiang Ran's heart into the lemonade, sour and soft.
In the strange silence, Su Qin asked tentatively: "Ranran, is Brother Qi drunk?"
"I'm not drunk." Quicker than Jiang Ran, Si Xu yelled at Su Qin, "You're the drunk one. Shut up and don't say I'm drunk!"
Su Qin decisively made a gesture to shut up: "I won't say anything more."
"You're still talking!" Si Xu yelled at her, "Don't talk, or I'll beat you up!"
Su Qin: "..."
Why is this guy so aggressive when he's drunk? Jiang Ran leaned over and looked down at him: "Si Xu, Captain Qin is the birthday girl today, how can you be so aggressive to her?"
After being taught a lesson, Si Xu blinked and continued to rub her arm: "Jiang Ran, I'm sleepy..."
Like a child throwing a tantrum, he simply ignored her question.
"Seventh Brother is really drunk." Gu Yunqing suppressed his laughter and coughed twice. "Sister Ranran, take him to his room to rest. I have just cleaned the guest rooms here."
I originally thought that if Chu Yuan or Song Rong got drunk, they could stay overnight, but I didn't expect that Si Xu would be used first.
Glancing at the wine glass in front of Si Xu, Jiang Ran was speechless: "He only drank one glass?"
Knowing Si Xu's alcohol tolerance, Gu Yunqing nodded: "That's still quite a lot." He looked at Si Xu, trying not to laugh out loud, "Si Xu usually gets drunk with just one sip of wine."
Oh, no wonder he didn't drink a drop of alcohol just now, it turns out it's because he really has no alcohol tolerance.
Not wanting to spoil the fun for the others, Jiang Ran helped Si Xu up: "I'll take him to his room."
"I'll help you..."
Qi Yuan was about to lend a hand when Gu Yunqing stopped him: "Sister Qi Yuan, don't do that. That guy is drunk and doesn't recognize anyone. Be careful, he might break your arm."
Qi Yuan's outstretched hand froze.
Chu Yuan pulled the man into his arms, avoiding Si Xu's fierce gaze, and asked Gu Yunqing: "Has Seventh Brother ever been drunk before?"
"I got drunk once." Gu Yunqing suppressed a laugh. "He sat on the table holding the quilt and refused to get down. The administrator came and tried to meddle with him and told him to go back to bed, but he twisted his arm and threw him out of the room..."
"And then?" Jiang Ran worried, "Was he punished?"
"No." Gu Yunqing said, "He didn't do anything harmful. Besides, Si Xu was a popular figure in the lab at that time, so no one dared to cause trouble for him."
Jiang Ran was relieved. Si Xu was getting impatient and tugged at her sleeve: "Jiang Ran, go to bed."
“…”
Jiang Ran brought the drunk Si Xu to the room and closed the door, blocking out the noise from the living room.
Pressing him down on the bed, Jiang Ran asked him, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to vomit? Do you want some water?"
Si Xu shook his head, grabbed her wrists with both hands, squinted his eyes, and said, "Jiang Ran, you sleep with me."
"Now?"
"Yeah." He gave a non-aggressive, soft smile.
“…”
Oh my god, how can he be so cute when he is drunk.
Jiang Ran lay on the bed with him as he wished.
As soon as she lay down, Si Xu turned sideways and hugged her like a baby, burying his cheek in her neck and rubbing it.
His neck was itchy from being rubbed by him, Jiang Ran was helpless: "Si Xu, what are you doing?"
What is the setting for this drunken person turning into a cat?
"Snap back." He slurred his words and hugged her tighter.
"Then sleep quietly and don't move around."
Si Xu continued to rub: "You have to leave my scent first, so that I can find you when you leave."
You really think you're a cat. How can you leave any smell by rubbing like that? Jiang Ran laughed: "You're not a cat. Rubbing is useless. It won't leave any smell."
Si Xu paused and looked at her doubtfully: "What should we do then?"
Without waiting for her to answer, he hugged her tightly, a little anxious and a little aggrieved: "If you leave, won't I be unable to find you?"
Is he afraid? Afraid that she will leave him?
After getting drunk, the subconscious worries burst out.
There are times when he would be so cautious and worried, and it might be related to her.
Jiang Ran didn't feel very happy after realizing this.
Her eyes felt a little sore. She raised her hands to hug him back, patted his back gently, and said softly, "I won't leave, Si Xu."
"You won't leave?"
"Well, I'll always be by your side—when you wake up, the first person you see will be me."
He hesitated: "Really?"
Jiang Ran stared at him, his eyes gentle but firm: "Really, I'm not lying to you."
After getting a positive answer, he became obedient. After letting her go, he squeezed in beside her and curled up again. Before closing his eyes, he did not forget to hook her fingers.
Jiang Ran turned sideways to look at him sleeping quietly with his eyes closed, and kissed his cheek.
"Si Xu, I'm not going anywhere. Every morning from now on, when you open your eyes, I will be by your side."
…
At the door of the room, Chu Yuan pushed Gu Yunqing and said unhappily: "Your door is too soundproof. I can't hear it."
"Si Xu is so drunk he doesn't recognize his family, what else do you expect to hear?"
"This is the first time I've seen Brother Seven drunk. I want to know if that kind of pervert behaves differently from ordinary people when he's drunk."
"...Your curiosity is a bit off the mark." Gu Yunqing touched his chin, "Chu Yuan, if you're really curious, you can try climbing through the window."
"I'm not that idle yet." Chu Yuan listened at the door for a while, then stood up and stretched, muttering, "Gu Yunqing, do you think Seventh Brother is cute when he's drunk?"
That’s right, I’m trying my best to be cute, just trying to make Ranran cute.
"That's because Ranran is here." Gu Yunqing rolled his eyes. "If Ranran wasn't here, he would just pick anyone to mess with."
Chu Yuan clicked his tongue twice and followed Gu Yunqing back to the table.
Qi Yuan was already half full, and was holding his chin with both hands, tilting his head to listen carefully to what Chen Yao said.
"Come to the lab to see me tomorrow morning. If you're scared, you can ask Chu Yuan to accompany you. I'll just do some basic tests. After all, the equipment is limited, so I probably won't be able to help much..."
Qi Yuan listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and looked as serious as a good student listening to the lecture in class.
Chu Yuan sat down beside her and took her into his arms, ignoring her weak struggles. He asked Chen Yao, "How confident are you that you can help her recover her memory?"
"I don't know." Chen Yao moved away from the two people who were getting intimate with each other with disdain. "She's so normal now, it doesn't make any difference whether she has the memory or not."
"That's true..." Chu Yuan pondered, "What do you think?" He poked the arm of the person in his arms.
Qi Yuan said seriously, "Memory is proof of one's existence. Even if there is only a one in ten chance, I still hope to remember the past."
Only by recalling the past can we solve the mysteries in the diary and know what really happened back then.
