Chapter 32 Drunk
"Why are you free to come back today?" Xu Zhixia said lightly.
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone that even she herself didn't notice.
There was a hint of doubt in Zhou An's eyes, as if he didn't understand why she reacted like that.
But he was tactful enough not to ask, but stood up, walked to her side, and took out an exquisite gift box.
A deep voice sounded: "This is for you, see if you like it?"
Xu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then hesitated before taking it. When she opened it, a familiar carved small house appeared in her sight.
Looking at the familiar villa, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears swirled in them.
Zhou An panicked and quickly comforted her: "Don't you like it? It's all my fault..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Zhixia interrupted her without hesitation: "I like it very much."
Her voice was choked but full of determination.
"Why did you think of giving me this?"
She couldn't let go of it and understood why she hadn't seen Zhou An in the past few days.
This small villa looks like it was hand-carved. It seems that Zhou An spent a lot of time making it.
Seeing that she liked it, Zhou An visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
An unnatural look flashed in his eyes. He cleared his throat and said, "Xia Xia, happy birthday."
After he finished speaking, Xu Zhixia's face showed an expression of disbelief.
Actually...it's her birthday already?
In order not to think about Haohao during this period, she kept herself busy and had no time to take care of other things.
Unexpectedly, she had forgotten everything, but Zhou An remembered it clearly.
A warm feeling surged in her heart, her mouth opened slightly, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhou An didn't notice this and spoke slowly: "I have already asked for leave from my superiors. After this mission is over, I will take you back to see it."
If the villa brought surprise to Xu Zhixia, then going back was pure emotion.
Her chest felt swollen, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
The next second, she followed her heart and rushed forward to save Zhou An.
Zhou An had a familiar smell of soapberries on his body, which was very pleasant.
Xu Zhixia felt indescribably at ease, as if she had found her home.
Zhou An paused for a moment, then carefully protected Xu Zhixia.
The two of them stood quietly in the courtyard, neither of them moved.
Finally, Zhou An couldn't help but break the silence: "Let's go in and eat first."
In fact, if he could, he would like to hold her like this forever.
But there were a lot of mosquitoes in the courtyard, and he didn't want Xu Zhixia to get bitten, so he had to grit his teeth and interrupt the charming atmosphere.
Xu Zhixia separated from him, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she showed a bright smile without hesitation.
She took his hand and walked into the house.
Because there were only two of them, Zhou An didn't cook too many dishes, but every one of them was delicious.
"Are you taking a day off tomorrow?" Xu Zhixia looked around and suddenly asked.
Although Zhou An didn't understand why Xu Zhixia said that, he still nodded honestly.
They have one day off every week, and Xu Zhixia also knows this.
A smile flashed in Xu Zhixia's eyes, and she said earnestly, "Would you like to drink with me?"
Zhou An’s actions today made her feel particularly happy, and she subconsciously made this proposal.
Zhou An was a little hesitant. Would Xia Xia drink? He had a question mark in his mind.
But in order not to spoil the fun, he agreed and took out a bottle of strong liquor from the house.
He poured a small cup for each of them, and then reminded them: "If you can't drink, just put it down."
Xu Zhixia nodded and said obediently: "I know, I know what's going on."
Only after hearing her say this did Zhou An feel relieved.
After all, in his eyes, Xu Zhixia has always been on top of things.
But not long after, he gave up the idea.
Because she was a little tipsy, Xu Zhixia's face flushed red, and even her ears turned red.
She held her chin with both hands, stared at Zhou An, and gave a somewhat silly smile.
Zhou An felt uncomfortable when she looked at him and avoided her gaze.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhixia suddenly stood up, walked to his side, held his face with her soft and boneless hands, and forced him to look at her.
"Zhou An, has anyone ever told you that you are pretty?" She said seriously, word by word.
Otherwise, if her eyes were still filled with confusion, no one would have thought that she was drunk.
Even though he knew Xu Zhixia was not fully awake, Zhou An's heart still couldn't help but beat.
He forced himself to calm down and moved his eyes away from Xu Zhixia's rosy lips.
"Xia Xia, you've drunk too much. Can I take you back to your room to rest?" he coaxed softly.
If his comrades saw him like this, they would be dumbfounded.
As we all know, drunk people don’t feel that they are drunk, and the same is true for Xu Zhixia.
She pouted in dissatisfaction and was about to retort, but then she suddenly thought of something and agreed.
"Sure." She said readily, "Then carry me up."
As soon as he said this, Zhou An's ears turned red.
An ambiguous atmosphere spread in the air, and the temperature around them rose immediately. No one spoke for a while.
Seeing that Zhou An didn't move for a long time and stood there like a puppet, Xu Zhixia felt a little dissatisfied.
She simply sat on Zhou An's lap and said coquettishly, "Didn't you say you would send me upstairs to rest? Why aren't you moving? Is it not possible..." She couldn't lift me up.
Before she could finish her words, Zhou An picked her up by the waist as if to prove something.
She was stunned for a moment, then blinked and smiled with satisfaction.
The white and tender little feet were suspended in the air, kicking playfully.
Zhou An looked in the direction he was looking, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and a hoarse voice rang out: "Xia Xia, stop making trouble."
Xu Zhixia snorted lightly, ignored him, and continued to play by herself.
It only takes a few steps to go upstairs, but to Zhou An it felt like a year.
He finally managed to get Xu Zhixia upstairs and carefully placed her on the bed.
Just as he was about to leave, a small, soft hand grabbed his wrist.
"Where are you going?" she asked in confusion.
Zhou An turned around, half squatted down and patiently explained: "You should have a good rest."
Xu Zhixia was a little confused, so she asked directly: "Aren't we married? Why don't you rest with me?"
Zhou An's Adam's apple rolled. Did Xia Xia know what she was talking about?
Before he could ask, Xu Zhixia took advantage of his moment of inaction and pulled him over.
Zhou An was caught off guard and fell directly on her.
The two were so close to each other, feeling the soft touch beneath him, and the tip of his nose was filled with the scent of Xu Zhixia, Zhou An's mind suddenly went blank.
