Chen Zhou drank three or four cups and was already completely drunk.
She walked unsteadily, her wrist held tightly by Song Jianmin all the way back to Heping Lane.
It's already past ten o'clock, and the two of them are exhaling a lot of white breath.
Song Jianmin: "Hurry up and find the keys, it's freezing cold."
Chen Zhou blushed, "...The key?"
Song Jianmin's eyes widened. "You didn't forget your keys, did you?"
Before the drunkard could speak, Song Jianmin took Chen Zhou's cloth bag, rummaged through it for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found the key.
After opening the door, Song Jianmin pulled Chen Zhou inside.
"You go to sleep, I'm going back."
Chen Zhou: "I also need to wash my face and feet."
Chen Zhou staggered towards the kitchen, took out a basin, and poured water.
Song Jianmin frowned, worried that she might lose her balance and get burned, so he strode forward, snatched the thermos from her hand, poured boiling water into the basin, and then went to the tap to get some cold water to adjust the temperature.
"Okay, hurry up and take a shower, then go to bed."
Chen Zhou took a handkerchief, wet it, wrung it out, and stuck it to her face. This brought her back to her senses, and she seemed to sober up instantly. She glared at Song Jianmin and stammered, "...you, you, what are you doing here? You should go back now."
Song Jianmin snorted: "You heartless bastard, I specially brought you back. I'll leave once you've sobered up. Don't drink next time, you can't hold your liquor after one cup."
Chen Zhou muttered, "Anyway, I won't drink it next time."
Song Jianmin tapped Chen Zhou on the head. "Alright, go to sleep now. I'm leaving."
Chen Zhou hummed in agreement, "See you tomorrow."
"It's still 7:40 in the morning."
All three of us have early morning classes tomorrow. We'll leave at 7:40 and walk slowly, arriving at the classroom by 8:30.
Song Jianmin returned to the Xu family home, knocked on the door, and two dogs inside barked a few times.
The third brother, wrapped in a military overcoat, opened the door. "Fifth brother, where have you been? What time is it?"
Song Jianmin shivered from the cold. "Let's go inside and talk."
Xu Songyuan was already asleep. After Song Jianmin went back to his room to change his clothes, he went to get hot water to wash up.
Within ten minutes, she went back to her room and snuggled under the covers.
Song Anmin tossed him a hot water bottle. "Warm the bed first. Tell me, did you go out to eat alone again behind my back?"
Song Jianmin wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and said, "Pah, Third Brother, can't you say something nice?"
After a while, Song Jianmin finally spoke up: "Chen Zhou's mother came to Phoenix Pavilion today."
Song Anmin exclaimed "Ah!" and looked towards the fifth brother, "And then?"
The third brother knew a little about Chen Zhou's family affairs.
When Chen Zhou moved to Heping Lane, it was he who introduced them.
After finishing his sentence, Song Jianmin added, "After get off work, I went to eat barbecue, and then it got late."
Song Jianmin didn't mention Chen Zhou being drunk; there was nothing to say. If his third brother knew, he would definitely laugh at him again.
Song Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Fifth Brother, you and Chen Zhou—"
"Stop! Third Brother, don't say anymore!"
"Fifth brother, I'm just worried about you."
"Bullshit, don't think I don't know, you're just a gossip!!!"
Song Anmin: "..."
After a while, Song Anmin spoke again: "Fifth brother, let me remind you, Chen Zhou's mother will definitely not let this go. If she doesn't get the money, she will definitely come back a second time."
Song Jianmin: "I've already thought it through. After Chen Zhou finishes class, I'll go to the store together. Anyway, with me there, there won't be any problems."
Song Anmin turned over, closed his eyes, and went to sleep. "It's strangely quiet."
It's quiet.
When Guoguo lived here before, she would babble every night.
Song Jianmin: "By the way, how's the adoption of Guoguo going?"
"A couple is coming to the factory in a few days, we'll see then."
