Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Feel sorry for me?
The dinner lasted for a long time. The smells of various liquors, red wines, foreign liquors, and various delicious dishes mixed together. In fact, the taste was very complex and made people feel a little nauseous.
By the time the dinner was over, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the group were drunk.
After staggering off to see off several leaders and watching their cars drive away from the villa, Zhou Quan, the director of the development department, looked away and fixed his gaze on Qin Mian. He asked, "Secretary Qin, are you acquainted with that clerk named Zhang Bei?"
Qin Mian then retracted his gaze and said, "College roommate."
"How is the relationship?" Zhou Quan continued to ask.
He was so concerned, so he could see that there was something subtle between them.
Qin Mian turned around and walked towards another car. "Normally."
"Has there been any festival?" Zhou Quan followed and asked more specifically.
After all, this may affect the follow-up.
"Not during the holidays." Qin Mian knew his concerns and explained everything carefully. "I even gave her a gift for her wedding."
Qin Mian was intentionally maintaining a friendly relationship. "But she has a successful career, a capable husband, and a successful career and family. She probably looks down on a roommate like me who has nothing."
"I understand." Zhou Quan nodded. "These people are a bit arrogant, don't take it too seriously."
"No." Qin Mian smiled, "I was just helping you explain the situation."
How others behave is their freedom, and she will not look down on herself because of others' arrogance.
She opened the car door for Si Tu. Before Si Tu got in the car, he paused, held onto the door frame, and suddenly turned his head to stare at her.
Qin Mian seemed to feel his gaze, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Tu curled the corners of his lips and smiled. In the dim courtyard, his eyes were very bright. "She is nothing. You will live a better life than her."
Someone who is ambitious, hardworking, and has a strong inner core, and who will not be shaken by external factors, will never have a bad life no matter what. What's more, he will do his best to support her.
He wouldn't let anyone look down on her.
Qin Mian was a little surprised that he would suddenly say this to him.
Is it a consolation? Or praise?
No matter what, he was on her side.
Qin Mian couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you, Mr. Si, I will try my best."
Try to live better than her.
Suddenly meeting old classmates, and the occasion was not so pleasant, it was impossible to say that her mood was completely unaffected.
But at this moment, she really felt much more relaxed and happy.
Seeing her smile, Si Tu raised his hand and patted her head, then bent down and got into the car.
This was a very personal action, and it was somewhat doting, so much so that Qin Mian was stunned for a moment.
But she quickly came to her senses, helped him close the door, opened the front passenger seat, and sat in.
Several cars drove down the mountain one after another at a leisurely pace.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Qin Mian turned around and was about to ask Si Tu in the back where he was going to go tonight, but he found that he had fallen asleep in the back seat.
Thinking about how he had blocked trouble for her and drank quite a bit with those people, he must have been completely drunk. Even in the car, there was a faint smell of alcohol.
Qin Mian thought for a moment, then told the driver, "Take Mr. Si back to the hotel."
Combined with his stay at the hotel, she made the decision for him.
It's not a big deal anyway, he shouldn't mind.
The driver said okay, turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the hotel.
After the car arrived at the hotel, Qin Mian got out first and went to the back seat to help open the door.
She patted Si Tu's shoulder to wake him up. Si Tu slowly opened his eyes. The bright light from the hotel entrance shone in, which was a bit dazzling. He raised his hand to block it.
The person who usually shows off his power, just woke up now, well-behaved and quiet without any aggressiveness. He was dazzled by the light and even looked a little cute when he instinctively raised his hand to cover his eyes.
This was the first time Qin Mian saw this side of him. At that moment, he couldn't help but smile at him.
After he had adjusted a little, she bent down, reached out, and helped him out.
Si Tu was really drunk. He seemed a little unsteady after getting out of the car and staggered two steps. Qin Mian put his arm on his shoulder in time and supported him.
Seeing this, the receptionist at the door also wanted to come over to help. Si Tu raised his hand to block the other party's hand and leaned his body towards Qin Mian.
Si Tu was already tall, and the sudden tilt put most of his weight on him. Qin Mian almost couldn't stand still, and he carried him with great difficulty, moving towards the elevator at a snail's pace.
The receptionist pressed the elevator button for him. After Qin Mian carried the person in, he reminded them before the elevator closed, "Ask the housekeeping staff to send a bowl of hangover soup to Mr. Si's room."
"Okay." The receptionist nodded and turned to do it.
The elevator closed, and Qin Mian tried to let go of Si Tu and lean him against the wall.
However, as soon as she let him go, his body slid down the wall. Qin Mian was in a panic and subconsciously lifted him up again. Si Tu stretched out his arms and hugged her face to face.
Qin Mian used his strength to support him, barely preventing him from falling.
But in this way...
Their upper bodies were almost touching, and she could even feel his heartbeat.
Probably because he had been drinking, his heartbeat seemed to be faster than normal.
Then he thought again, since she could feel him, then he...
Qin Mian suddenly realized that his soft body was touching him and immediately felt embarrassed.
Her heartbeat also inexplicably quickened.
So the heartbeats of both people were beating against each other's chest.
Even through the thin shirt, you can still clearly feel the other person's body temperature.
The feeling was almost like flesh touching flesh.
Qin Mian's cheeks continued to burn.
Apart from her boyfriend, she has never had such close contact with any other member of the opposite sex.
However, Si Tu is drunk now and should not be able to perceive these details.
Thinking of this, the feeling of embarrassment gradually eased a lot.
While my thoughts were drifting, the elevator arrived.
Qin Mian wanted to change her posture to get him out, but Si Tu kept holding her, making it impossible for her to move, so she could only continue to hold him face to face, step back, and move him out with difficulty.
The two of them walked in a disorderly manner and almost tripped each other several times. After finally reaching the door of the room, Qin Mian reached into his trouser pocket.
She was so busy getting the room card that she didn't notice how ambiguous the action was.
She put her hand into her pocket and touched the man's thigh through his suit trouser pocket. Feeling his body temperature higher than the back of her hand and the feeling of almost flesh against flesh, she realized how inappropriate this action was.
Si Tu also seemed to feel uncomfortable, his thigh muscles visibly tensed, and he hugged her even tighter.
But Qin Mian's fingers had already touched the room card. She endured the discomfort and took it out.
After swiping the card to enter, Qin Mian carried him through the living room. He was too tired to go back into the room, so he put him on the sofa.
The man was too heavy, and when she put him down, he fell into the sofa with her.
But the person was finally sent back. Qin Mian breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get up from him.
But as soon as she moved, Si Tu's arms around her tightened, not only holding her tightly in his arms, but also trying to turn over and hold her down.
No, no, no, Qin Mian cried out in his heart, and exhausted the last bit of strength in his body. He quickly pushed him away and got up from the sofa.
Si Tu collapsed on the sofa with his arms and legs spread out.
Qin Mian stood in front of him, panting and calming down for a while. Seeing that his face was red from the irritation of alcohol, he went into the bathroom, washed a towel, and came over to wipe him.
She also helped him unbutton his loose tie, pulled it off and put it aside, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt to make him feel more relaxed.
The man's Adam's apple rolled, and Qin Mian paused in unbuttoning his clothes. He glanced at his Adam's apple, then raised his eyes to look at his tightly closed eyes.
His eyelashes are distinct, thick, black and curled, and his eyebrows are thick and stylish, like two swords. Even when he is sleeping like this, it is not difficult to tell that he is a handsome man with a dark complexion.
Under the high nose bridge, the lips were severely congested due to alcohol, and the color was particularly red, like jelly that was about to burst, and looked very delicious to bite.
Qin Mian was distracted for a moment and stood up from the sofa.
How could she have thought that his lips looked so good to bite? She thought she might be crazy, turned around, and quickly went to the bathroom.
She also drank quite a bit tonight. Although it wasn't much compared to Si Tu, she couldn't drink much anyway, so she was a little drunk at the moment.
She felt that the reason she was dizzy just now was probably due to the effect of alcohol.
Thinking of this, she quickly scooped up cold water and washed her face twice to wake herself up.
People often get drunk in the hotel, so hangover soup is always available in the kitchen.
It is a presidential suite again, and all services are provided on a priority basis.
After a short while, room service also brought the hangover soup.
Qin Mian sat back on the sofa with the sobering soup in his hand. He was much more sober now. He held the back of Si Tu's neck with his hand and carefully fed him the soup in the bowl.
Si Tu took two sips, leaned on her shoulder, and suddenly slowly opened his eyes.
"How do you feel?" Qin Mian lowered his head and looked at him, "Are you feeling better?"
Si Tu slowly raised his eyes, his thick black eyelashes slowly opened, staring at her absentmindedly for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Do you feel sorry for me?"
The two of them were so close that their breathing almost blended together, and there was something else behind his question, and even his eyes were very ambiguous.
Qin Mian had already suspected his thoughts earlier. To prevent him from being overly sentimental, he turned around, placed the bowl in his hand on the coffee table, and said coldly, "It's only natural for a secretary to be considerate of the boss."
What's more, he was forced to drink so much tonight because he had blocked trouble for her.
Si Tu looked at her silently for a moment, then suddenly turned her face, pinched her chin tightly with his fingers, stared into her eyes, looked at her directly and aggressively, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is that all?"
