Chapter 98 I Like You
Shi Yanchen drank it all in one gulp. Dr. Li and his wife were moved by his sincerity and nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Shi has a good alcohol tolerance," Dr. Li praised sincerely, "I usually like to have a few drinks when I'm not working. Today I finally found a soulmate."
As they drank and chatted, Dr. Li's face gradually turned red, but Shi Yanchen remained calm and talkative.
The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Before leaving, Xiao Miao reluctantly held Pei Song's hand and said, "Brother, you must wait until I finish the exam."
"Okay," Pei Song squatted down, "After you finish your exam, I will take you and MAX to the park to play."
"It's a deal!" Xiao Miao raised his fist, "I will study hard!"
It was not until they left the restaurant that Pei Song noticed that Shi Yanchen was walking unsteadily.
"Get in the car," Pei Song opened the back door and motioned Shi Yanchen to go in first.
"Where are you going?" Shi Yanchen grabbed Pei Song who was about to close the door.
"I'll go drive." Pei Song said.
Shi Yanchen held his wrist tightly and said, "Sit here." There was a hint of drunken laziness in his voice.
"Why are you so willful after drinking?" Pei Song said helplessly.
"Call a designated driver." Shi Yanchen said, tugging at the corner of his clothes again.
Pei Song sighed, took out his cell phone and called a designated driver.
As soon as he sat in the back seat, Shi Yanchen immediately leaned over, hugged his arm, and gently rested his head on his shoulder.
"You are drunk." Pei Song whispered.
"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy." Shi Yanchen's breath, with a faint smell of alcohol, sprayed on Pei Song's neck.
Pei Song tilted his head slightly and looked at Shi Yanchen who was slightly drunk, his heart full of tenderness and doting.
This man, who is usually decisive and resolute, is now like a spoiled boy.
The designated driver arrived quickly.
Pei Song was about to sit up straight, but Shi Yanchen hugged him tighter: "Don't move, let me lean on you for a while."
Pei Song had no choice but to maintain this posture and let Shi Yanchen lean on him.
The designated driver took a quick look in the rearview mirror and tactfully said nothing.
The car drove steadily in the night, and Shi Yanchen's breathing gradually became long.
Pei Song gently touched his hand: "Don't fall asleep, we have to go home soon."
"Yeah." Shi Yanchen responded vaguely, but he didn't show any intention of looking up.
Pei Song smiled helplessly and simply let him go.
After arriving home, Pei Song helped Shi Yanchen lie down on the sofa.
Just as I was about to leave, my wrist was grabbed.
Before he could react, he was pulled into a warm embrace.
He was slightly dazed and didn't have time to speak.
Shi Yanchen had already gently inserted his fingers into his own, clasped their fingers together, and then slowly raised their hands between them and raised them.
"Songsong," he looked up at Pei Song, his voice low, "I like you so much."
Pei Song looked at his slightly red eyes and his heart beat faster uncontrollably.
He gently pinched Shi Yanchen's fingers and said softly, "I know..."
The two of them hugged each other quietly, no one spoke.
The warm breaths intertwined together, and there seemed to be a hint of sweetness in the air.
After a while, Pei Song finally spoke: "Shi Yanchen, I like you too."
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
He turned his head and saw that Shi Yanchen had fallen asleep, his long eyelashes drooping quietly and his breathing long and even.
Pei Song felt suffocated. He had finally gotten his true feelings out loud, but this person just fell asleep like that.
Pei Song gently pushed Shi Yanchen away, got up and went to the bathroom to wring out a warm towel.
As soon as the towel was placed on Shi Yanchen's face, Shi Yanchen moved and slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Pei Song in a daze, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.
Pei Song bent down and said softly, "Let me wipe your face."
"No," Shi Yanchen sat up lazily and hugged Pei Song, "I want to take a shower. I can't sleep without a shower!"
Pei Song felt helpless when he hugged her, but he couldn't help laughing: "Can you wash like this?"
Shi Yanchen raised his head and smiled drunkenly: "If you are worried, you can come in and watch me. Anyway, you like to watch."
Pei Song was stunned for a moment, then reacted, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and deliberately pinched his mouth into the shape of a chicken's mouth: "Shi Yanchen, are you pretending to be drunk on purpose to tease me?"
Shi Yanchen smiled without saying anything, but just hugged him tighter.
"Okay, I'll go make you some hangover soup." Pei Song pushed him away helplessly, "Just sit still."
He pushed the person to sit on the sofa, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
MAX woke up at some point and followed him, wagging his tail.
Pei Song cut the ginger into thin slices and put it into the pot to cook.
The aroma of ginger soup soon wafted through the kitchen.
He added some honey to the pot and put in sliced lemons.
The warm ginger soup has a light lemon scent, which smells both refreshing and warm.
I walked into the living room with the soup, and saw Shi Yanchen half leaning on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Drink some sobering soup." Pei Song sat next to him.
Shi Yanchen took the bowl, took a sip, and frowned slightly: "It doesn't taste good."
"It's strange that it tastes good after adding ginger and lemon," Pei Song said, "but it helps sober you up."
Shi Yanchen glanced at him and continued drinking his soup, as if he was savoring something.
"What did you remember?" Pei Song asked.
"When we were in Country D," Shi Yanchen put down the bowl, "you took care of me in the same way."
"You caught a cold at that time." Pei Song said, "It was late at night, and I didn't know where to find medicine, so I made ginger soup for you to drink."
Shi Yanchen held his hand and said, "From that time on, I had a feeling that I would fall into your hands."
Pei Song's ears turned red: "You are really pretending to be drunk."
"No," Shi Yanchen moved closer to him, "I'm really a little drunk, so I dare to say it so bluntly."
There was a faint smell of alcohol in his breath, which mixed with the aroma of ginger soup, making Pei Song's heart beat faster.
MAX tried hard to squeeze his body between the two of them and nudged Shi Yanchen's hand with his head.
"Why, you want to drink too?" Shi Yanchen rubbed MAX's ears.
MAX wagged his tail and rubbed Pei Song again.
"It's caring about you." Pei Song said with a smile, "You always work late at the company, and MAX always lies at the door waiting for you to come back."
Shi Yanchen looked into MAX's sparkling eyes and said, "So you like me so much?"
MAX immediately threw himself into his arms, wagging his tail, and rubbed his face against his chest.
"Okay, okay," Pei Song patted MAX, "Let him finish his soup."
Shi Yanchen picked up the bowl and drank the remaining ginger soup in one breath.
"Do you want more?" Pei Song asked.
Shi Yanchen shook his head and put the bowl on the coffee table.
Pei Song said: "You have a meeting tomorrow, you should go and rest."
"What about you?" Shi Yanchen asked.
"I'll take MAX out for another walk," Pei Song said, "It didn't do much exercise at night."
"I'll go with you." Shi Yanchen stood up.
"You've been drinking." Pei Song stopped him.
"He's awake." Shi Yanchen said, "He's just walking around the neighborhood. He'll be fine."
Pei Song had no choice but to agree.
