Chapter 22: Drinking Late at Night

With a creak, the door opened from the outside.

The room was pitch black. Su Xi gently touched the switch on the wall, and a bright light shone. She walked into the room. When she got to the middle, she saw He Yichuan sitting quietly on the balcony, holding a lit cigarette between his slender fingertips, with his brows furrowed, thinking about something.

After the door opened, the man shot over with a sharp gaze, which was extremely oppressive and cold. When he saw that it was Su Xi, his expression relaxed and his eyes lowered a little.

He walked closer and took a look.

The smell of cigarettes on the man gradually became clearer and stronger. Ashes were falling all over the small table on the balcony. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Not long after they returned to the old house, Pan Xiaowen couldn't help but offer to go back first. As soon as she left, He Xiaoan came back.

After dinner, Mrs. He took Su Xi and He Xiaoan to the side hall banquet venue to check the arrangements for the birthday banquet and ensure that the birthday banquet would go smoothly tomorrow.

He Yichuan seemed to be with Mr. He and Mr. He at the time, but why did he suddenly become upset? Did they have a quarrel? Guessing this way, Su Xi was also very curious about how the taciturn man quarreled with others.

She was responded with silence and indifference.

After a moment, the man spoke in reply.

"It's okay. How's the venue arrangement going?"

"Mom arranged it this afternoon. I just checked it with Xiaoan and the others and it's OK. We're just waiting for the guests to arrive tomorrow."

He was reluctant to say.

She stopped asking and talked to him patiently. The two of them had been together for a while and had become more casual. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he exuded a cold aura.

Su Xi didn't bother him much and let him calm down. She went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, the room was silent and the figure on the balcony had left at some point.

Just when she was surprised, He Yichuan walked in.

The man's clothes were loose. He walked into the bedroom with long legs, holding two or three bottles of wine in his hands, and walked straight to the sofa.

Su Xi, wearing a light-colored nightgown, walked towards him, wiping her wet hair with a soft towel in her hand, and looked at him in confusion, asking, "Do you want to drink?"

Why did he suddenly want to drink?

He Yichuan sat down on the sofa, leaned forward and placed the bottle on the coffee table, picked up the bottle opener with his right hand and pried it gently, and the white wine drew an arc in the air and fell into the crystal glass. The transparent liquid swayed gently with his movements.

He raised his cold eyes.

His sight fell on her, her head was wet, the water droplets on her hair condensed into small drops, each one clear and transparent, gently attached to her fair skin, slowly rolled into the edge of Su Xi's pajamas.

The seductive breath of the beauty after the bath came to his face, He Yichuan calmly turned his eyes away, put his eyes on her clean face, squinted his eyes: "Well, do you want a drink?"

He was a little strange tonight, Su Xi smoothed her wet hair with her hand, and continued to wipe it gently with a dry towel, with a few puzzled eyes: "Okay, I'll blow dry my hair."

After that, she turned and went into the bathroom.

He placed the bottle on the tea table, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The transparent wine glass was dotted with stars under the light of the bedroom. The veins of the fingers holding the wine glass were clearly visible, the cuffs were loose, and the Adam's apple was trembling slightly, which was both chic and sexy.

After blowing and combing her hair, when she came out again, there was only half a bottle of wine left.

The man drank the wine silently, and she did not make a sound to disturb him, and sat down quietly on the other side of the sofa.

She picked up the wine glass on the side of the tea table with her slender fingers. When she was about to pour the wine, the man's broad palm reached over and picked up her wine glass.

It was full in a moment, and the bottom of the glass fell in front of her, making a slight sound, and then he said, "Just finish this glass, I just finished it last night."

Su Xi saw the transparent wine swaying in the glass, and wanted to drink it, so she nodded slightly, picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, not a lot, so she drank it slowly.

After she finished sipping, she put the glass on the table, stared at his fingers holding the bottle, and whispered, "I was drunk last night, thank you for taking me home."

Hearing her talking about being drunk, He Yichuan couldn't help but think of the scene last night in his mind, leaning against him tenderly, and softly stating that she had no home.

His fingertips tightened slightly, rubbing the bottle in his hand vigorously, raised it and took two sips, his long eyelashes drooped, and he calmly changed the subject: "Did my friends offend you last night? They are used to doing things that don't work."

"They are very interesting, with different personalities, not quite like you. It's rare that you can be friends."

Fang Junjie and Cheng Ke have more cheerful personalities, with the demeanor of the rich young men in Beijing. Pei Jinghong exudes a gentlemanly elegance, and Zhou Xiubai is more reserved and restrained than them.

Several people are different, but they can get along with a calm and domineering person like He Yichuan.

Su Xi also felt a little admiration and teased him softly.

The man also involuntarily bent the corners of his lips slightly, and his lips were slightly raised, with a little smile on his handsome face, which was very attractive.

"We are in the same circle, playing together since childhood, and often get together when we have time. We are used to it." The magnetic voice came from his throat, the voice was low and pleasant, and the tone of speech was calm: "Next time I have time, I will take you there again."

When he said this, his eyes fell on her, staring at her, his dark eyes glowed under the bright light, his pupils were clear, and Su Xi could even see herself in his eyes.

"Okay."

She raised her head and picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his. Then the wine soaked her red lips, and her tender and soft lips were moist and shiny, and her starry eyes were bright.

He Yichuan's eyes passed by, and his expression gradually focused. After a few seconds, he picked up the wine glass and took a few sips. His Adam's apple rolled and protruded, moving up and down.

As time went by, the lights in the room on the third floor dimmed.

The door was opened, and a tall man walked out of the room. He held the empty bottle of wine in his two big hands and walked downstairs slowly with his long legs. As soon as he

reached the first floor, he saw a black figure sneaking in from the side of the door.

He was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "You come back so late?"

The black figure seemed to be frightened and stood there for a few seconds. It seemed that he didn't expect that there were still people walking around in the house at this time.

Then he stood up and snorted, afraid that he would wake up others, and quickly explained: "Brother, keep your voice down! Why aren't you asleep yet at this hour? I just met up with some friends, so I came back late."

"Get ready for bed, throw some things away, and come back earlier next time."

The man said in a low voice.
