The first dinner party of Jieyou Tianshi Office lasted until late at night.
Mingren, Ning Guochao and Shi Minghuai were all drunk, their faces were red, their eyes were drooping, and they looked like they could fall asleep at any time.
The three of them walked out of the store arm in arm, as if they were about to kneel down and become sworn brothers.
Ning Zhong followed behind and watched them, feeling both amused and angry. He felt amused because it was the first time he saw his uncle like this, and he felt angry because Shi Minghuai actually wanted to take advantage of him as his elder! Fan Xiaoling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Ning Guochao's drinking behavior was pretty good. He didn't make any noise or trouble even when he was drunk, and he was quite obedient.
Feng Ce drank a lot that night, but his expression did not change.
Wen Qi leaned over to smell it, and actually the smell of alcohol was quite strong. She looked at him and asked inquiringly: "Have you drunk too much?"
Feng Ce raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"
Wen Qi groaned and said, "It's hard to tell. Either you just can't get drunk, or you can drink too much. Do you drink beer like water?"
Feng Ce smiled, "I can drink more than them, but not so much that I can drink it like water. I have a lot of social events, so I've practiced it."
Wen Qi was even more surprised, "Do you drink alcohol normally?" Although Feng Ce would come back late occasionally, she had never smelled alcohol on him.
Feng Ce nodded, "I usually drink at noon, and by the time I get home at night, the alcohol smell is almost gone. I'm afraid you won't like it if you smell it."
Wen Qi had never thought of this possibility. She was a little too considerate, even a little cautious. She sighed and asked, "Did you drink a lot?"
Feng Ce shook his head, "Not much, but the alcohol content is a bit higher. No one dares to force me to drink except for a few experienced people. It's just for the sake of courtesy."
Wen Qi nodded and said seriously: "I don't mind you drinking, just don't drink too much. I like you no matter what kind of you you are."
She realized that maybe this relationship didn't start off so smoothly, and Feng Ce seemed to be a little insecure like her. Although it was not obvious at ordinary times, it would be reflected in some details that were easily overlooked.
Wen Qi said: "You can be completely yourself in front of me, and I also hope to understand you better and see more different sides of you. You don't want me to always see your perfect and thoughtful side, and then suddenly one day find that you have a flaw that I can't accept, right?"
"Or maybe one day I get tired of this side of you and stop liking it?" Wen Qi smiled, "You are Feng Ce, you should have the confidence to make me fall in love with every side of you!"
Feng Ce smiled self-deprecatingly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He walked all the way to the parking lot before he said, "I was afraid of scaring you."
Wen Qi knew what he minded, "I admit that I was timid at first, but it's different now." She turned to face Feng Ce and said seriously, "I saw and felt your feelings for me, and now all these feelings have turned into my courage."
"Feng Ce, you have to understand one thing. My confidence in this relationship, my courage to face the real you, all comes from you."
Feng Ce also looked at her seriously for several seconds. He suddenly covered his chest and laughed softly, "What a shocking confession. My heart is about to jump out of my chest."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Wen Qi with one hand, opened the car door with the other, and leaned down to kiss her while falling into the back seat.
Liu Ran, who was walking in front, looked back and couldn't help but smile. Wen Qi didn't deliberately lower her voice when talking to Feng Ce. She listened to almost the whole thing and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
What she and Zhou Xuyang lacked in order to reach this point was probably honesty and courage.
Ning Guochao drank too much and couldn't go back to the dormitory, so he simply went back with Shi Minghuai. Shi Minghuai was drunk and very clingy. He clung to Mingren and refused to let go, muttering that he wanted to become sworn brothers!
Ning Zhong and Ming Zhun were helpless and could only put the three people into a car and take them all back to where they lived.
Liu Ran and Fan Xiaoling went back in one car.
As for the business cars still parked in the parking lot, no one cared about them. If you disturb the young couple’s love, you will be struck by lightning!
No words were spoken that night.
Early the next morning, Ning Guochao and Mingren came out of Ning Zhong and Shi Minghuai's rooms respectively. When their eyes met, they both smiled bitterly.
One of them was going back to the Tianshi Association to work, and the other was in a hurry to go to the rental house to recycle the memory of the big paper man. They woke up earlier than those who hadn't drunk. That feeling was no longer uncomfortable, it was simply death.
Mingren rushed to the rental house, recovered the soul power in the big paper man, lay on the bed and looked through his memories. His expression changed when he had just read half of it.
Mingren called Wen Qi immediately, but he didn't know what he was doing. He hung up the phone automatically and didn't answer. He was so anxious that he wanted to call Han Zhen to tell him about the situation, but he didn't have any contact information. After a pause, he could only call Ning Guochao.
Ning Guochao had just cleaned himself up and walked out of the dormitory when he received the call. He was a little confused when he saw that it was Mingren calling, "What's wrong?"
"Are you in the Tianshi Association?" Mingren said solemnly, "I have something to ask Han Zhen."
Ning Guochao did not waste any time, "It will take me a few minutes to arrive, otherwise I will give you his contact information first. Remember... wait! Han Zhen!" He shouted, and not only Han Zhen, but also the old men and women on both sides of the community looked over.
Ning Guochao didn't have time to care about that. He ran to Han Zhen and handed him the phone. "Mingren is looking for you."
Han Zhen's heart skipped a beat. He took the phone and casually opened a barrier, "Mingren?"
Mingren said quickly, "Last night, between about 12 and 1, Chen Yu left home and never came back." A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, "I wasn't there yesterday, I don't know where he went, can you check the surveillance?"
Han Zhen's eyes darkened, "Got it." He hung up the phone and took a step forward, and the barrier automatically dissipated.
Ning Guochao followed and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
Han Zhen paused, turned back to face him, and shook his head as he handed the phone back. "Go check the surveillance first and find out where Chen Yu is."
Ning Guochao's eyes flashed with surprise. "Wasn't he suspended from work and awaiting investigation? He...ran away?"
Han Zhen said nothing, strode towards the association, and at the same time called the transportation department to assist in the investigation.
Ning Guochao followed him subconsciously until Han Zhen got into the car and closed the door with a bang, then he came to his senses.
Han Zhen said, "Get in the car and go to the traffic management department to check the surveillance."
Ning Guochao got on the co-pilot seat and tried to use divination to find out where Chen Yu was going, but he failed every time.
"Don't waste your energy." Han Zhen said expressionlessly, "He must have made some preparations before running away. It's impossible to find his trace using these conventional methods. But he can conceal his aura, but he can't disappear out of thin air. As long as he's not invisible, he will definitely appear in the surveillance."
Ning Guochao gave up dejectedly, "Why would he run?"
While Han Zhen explained the relationship between Chen Yu and Xuye, he called Wen Qi, but the latter still didn't answer. He couldn't help but frown. How could he not get in touch with her? In fact, Wen Qi was not in the world of the living at this time. She was taken back to the hall deep in the underworld by Feng Ce last night, and they made love all night long.
Perhaps Wen Qi's words stimulated Feng Ce, and this time he did not give her any leeway and kept pestering her, even making her feel like he was willing to cling to her until death.
But, it really doesn’t have to be that serious, brother! This thing still needs to be sustainable!
It was not until Wen Qi became so sensitive that she trembled at the slightest touch that Feng Ce mercifully let her go.
Before falling asleep, Wen Qi mumbled, "Abstinence...you! You are not allowed to touch me for the next month!"
Feng Ce bent down and kissed her, "Sleep well and don't talk in your sleep."
Wen Qi couldn't help but shudder and fell into a deep sleep.
Feng Ce took the opportunity to return to the world of the living, injected a soul power into Wen Qi and his body, and then returned to the underworld.
The whole time, I didn't even think about looking at my phone.
And just as he entered the gate, Wen Qi's phone rang again.
Feng Ce turned his head and stared at the phone without moving. The gate slowly closed, but just before it disappeared, an dissatisfied "tsk" sound came from the void, and the gate opened again.
Feng Ce came out and picked up the phone a second before it hung up. His voice was extremely cold, "She is sleeping. Tell me if you have anything to say." (End of this chapter)
