Grandpa Song winked at Xi Ci when he saw the flowers in Wen Xi's hand. Song Xi Ci smiled. If Grandpa hadn't told him that the wildflowers in the mountains were especially beautiful, he might not have been able to let her see wildflowers that were more unique than those sold in flower shops.
After dinner, the two decided not to stay in town any longer and instead took the train back overnight. Grandpa Song was very reluctant to let them go and hoped they would stay a few more days, but he also knew in his heart that the children needed to work.
Mu Wenxi: "Goodbye, Grandpa. We'll come back to visit you often in the future."
Song Xici: "Don't be stingy with the phone call. It's free to make a call. Call me whenever you miss me."
Grandpa Song: "I know, I know, hurry up and go."
As Mu Wenxi left, he glanced back and noticed that Grandpa Song was still watching them.
"It would be great if Grandpa would be willing to go back with us."
Song Xici shook his head: "Just like we don't adapt well to this place, Grandpa doesn't adapt well to big cities either. He's not comfortable there, but he's more comfortable here, and there's also someone to look after among the neighbors."
Mu Wenxi: "That's true."
Song Xici: "Want to take a nap?"
Mu Wenxi: "Mm, let me lean on you."
Song Xici pressed Mu Wenxi's head onto his shoulder, saying that he would arrive after a nap.
The train clattered and rattled, yet it unexpectedly made people feel safe.
On the last day of the New Year, the two of them stayed at home to rest.
They slept lazily until noon, and after waking up and having lunch, the two took a walk together, snuggling up to each other and thoroughly enjoying this kind of life.
However, Mu Wenxi did not expect that the first day back after the holiday would be a social engagement, and she felt a little apologetic.
She said apologetically to Song Xici, "I have a business dinner tonight and will be back late. I'm sorry, I can't have dinner with you."
Although Song Xici was reluctant, there was nothing he could do: "It's okay, just drink less alcohol."
He said that, but after the other person left, he had no interest in working in front of the computer. He was only thinking about when Mu Wenxi would come back. He would pace back and forth at home from time to time, picking up his phone to look at it and then putting it down again.
Mu Wenxi, whom she was thinking about, was already slightly tipsy.
The leader took the wine and continued to urge him to drink: "Come on, Wenxi, you have a good alcohol tolerance, have another drink."
Seeing that Mu Wenxi was swaying a bit, the supervisor offered to drink the glass for her: "Boss, Mu is already drunk. I'll drink this one for her. You should drink less too, or you'll get drunk."
Seeing that everyone was mostly passed out, the leader said, "Good, that's enough for today, we've had our fun. Everyone should go home and rest, we can drink again another day."
Song Xici sent a message: "Are you back? I'll come pick you up."
Mu Wenxi groggily took out her phone and replied to the message: "Not yet, okay."
As everyone prepared to say goodbye, the supervisor personally escorted the leader back, while the others went their separate ways.
A male colleague looked at Mu Wenxi and suggested, "Wenxi, shall I give you a ride?"
Mu Wenxi shook her head; she was waiting for her boyfriend. "No need, you can go back now. Someone's coming to pick me up."
The male colleague stubbornly stood beside Mu Wenxi: "You've had a bit too much to drink. Let me wait for your friend to pick you up before we leave."
When Song Xici drove to the restaurant entrance, she saw a man very close to Mu Wenxi, seemingly wanting to help him. She immediately felt a little jealous and hurriedly opened the car door and walked towards Mu Wenxi.
The male colleague looked at the man opposite him in surprise: "Who are you?"
Song Xici pulled Mu Wenxi into his arms and said, "I'm her boyfriend, leave her to me, please."
Mu Wenxi's eyes were a little confused, but she still recognized the person in front of her as her boyfriend, and she obediently did not struggle.
The male colleague waved his hand: "No, it's no trouble at all."
Song Xici helped Mu Wenxi into the car and fastened her seatbelt. Mu Wenxi felt that they had arrived at a safe place and fell asleep without realizing it.
While waiting at a traffic light, Song Xici glanced at Mu Wenxi, who was fast asleep, and took the clothes from behind to cover Wenxi with them, saying, "You little ingrate."
When they got home, he immediately picked Mu Wenxi up in a princess carry. Mu Wenxi smelled the familiar scent and found a comfortable position.
He closed the door and went into the room, gently placing Mu Wenxi on the bed.
Seeing Mu Wenxi sleeping soundly, Song Xici's eyes darkened as he thought of the man from earlier: "Sister, you're being naughty."
He took the makeup remover from Mu Wenxi's table and carefully removed Mu Wenxi's makeup. Afterwards, he fetched water and used a towel to wipe Mu Wenxi's face.
Mu Wenxi was awakened by his movement: "Xi Ci?"
Song Xici: "Hmm, you're drunk."
Mu Wenxi extended her hand to him: "Hmm?"
Song Xici carefully wiped her hands: "Don't drink so much next time."
Mu Wenxi tilted his head: "Hmm?"
Song Xici sighed: "Don't drink so much. Do you want another man to take you home?"
Mu Wenxi: "Other men? Who?"
Song Xici: "Don't you remember? The person who was standing next to you just now?"
Mu Wenxi thought for a long time: "Boyfriend."
Song Xici suddenly widened his eyes: "Who are you talking about?"
Mu Wenxi didn't know why he was being so loud, so she suddenly leaned in and kissed him, then repeated, "Boyfriend?"
Song Xici suddenly froze, realizing she was talking about him, and was almost startled: "You act recklessly when you're drunk."
Mu Wenxi was a little confused and didn't know what he was talking about. She hugged him and rubbed against him, saying, "Boyfriend, boyfriend."
Song Xici choked for a moment. He couldn't argue with a drunkard: "Next time you get drunk, just call me and I'll come pick you up."
Mu Wenxi felt sticky all over: "I want to take a shower."
Song Xici reluctantly stood up: "Wait a moment."
He filled the bathtub with water and carried Mu Wenxi inside: "Take it off yourself, wash it yourself. Your clothes are here. Put them on yourself after you're done washing, understand?"
Mu Wenxi nodded.
Song Xici considerately closed the bathroom door.
After a long time, there was still no movement from the bathroom. Song Xici walked over and called out, "Wen Xi, Xi Xi?"
There was no response. Fearing something had happened to her, he pushed the door open abruptly. He saw Mu Wenxi sitting in the bathtub, asleep against one side. Helplessly, he closed his eyes, grabbed a towel, and carried her out, placing the towel on the bed and covering her with a blanket.
Looking at her clean and fair face, Song Xici couldn't resist planting a kiss on her cheek.
Then he got up and closed the door for the first time.
His face was very red, and his heart was beating very fast, especially noticeable in the quiet night. He lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
The next day, when Mu Wenxi got up, he found himself almost naked in bed, except for a bath towel wrapped around his body. He almost thought he had done something wrong.
She learned what had happened yesterday from A, and sighed, thinking that Song Xici was truly a gentleman.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Song Xici gracefully brought out breakfast: "Are you up?"
Mu Wenxi scratched his head: "Hmm, was I drunk yesterday? I'll try not to get drunk next time."
Song Xici: "Hmm."
Mu Wenxi pretended not to know what had happened yesterday: "By the way, how did I get back yesterday? Did I cause you any trouble?"
