Chapter 21: Drinking and Misbehavior Standing in front of the refrigerator, Su Huaiwang is now...
Standing in front of the refrigerator, Su Huaiwang only felt panicked now.
Her hand stopped on the refrigerator door, and her head turned unconsciously to the vast night outside the window.
It was this inexplicable darkness that made her invite Lin Jue into her home.
She was going to spend the night with Lin Jue... Su Huaiwang quickly stopped the increasingly deviated imagination in his mind.
No, not spending time together, just staying overnight. She prepared a room for Lin Jue on the second floor.
But at least now, Lin Jue was in her room, having taken a shower and wearing pajamas, waiting for her to come back.
Su Huaiwang felt as if his feet had taken root, and he stood in front of the refrigerator and didn't want to move an inch.
A meow suddenly sounded. Su Huaiwang looked up and saw Mimi lying on a high platform not far from her.
It raised its paw to lick its fur, and its occasional glances seemed to be asking her why she didn't go back.
Su Huaiwang was defeated. He reached out to take the wine out of the refrigerator, then took some snacks and walked back to his room with a dull step.
Lin Jue had been waiting for her for a long time. He sat on the bed, hugging his pillow. When he heard the door open, he tilted his head and looked at her:
"What did you take?"
Su Huaiwang subconsciously raised the wine in his hand:
"Do you want to drink?"
She then remembered that she hadn't asked Lin Jue if he could drink, so she quickly added:
"It's okay if I don't drink it. I just plan to drink a little myself."
She needed to drink something to numb her brain, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get through the night.
Lin Jue didn't say whether he wanted to drink it or not, but instead asked her, "Is the alcohol content high?"
Su Huaiwang shook his head: "It's not very high, about ten degrees, just a little sweet water."
She doesn't usually drink much, and this wine was brought by Lin Jue. It's a party wine and doesn't have that high an alcohol content.
"Then I'll drink some too." Unexpectedly, Lin Jue readily agreed.
Although Su Huaiwang was a little surprised, he still said, "Then I'll go get the cup."
By the time the clear wine was poured into the glasses, all the arrangements were complete.
In the dim room, there were snacks and drinks on the bedside table, a movie waiting to be played on the big screen in front of him, and a cat and dog lying drowsy under the bed.
For Su Huaiwang, this is the safe environment she is most familiar with and likes most.
The uneasiness and nervousness subsided a little, and Su Huaiwang raised his glass and touched Lin Jue's glass.
She gave a slightly shy smile: "Cheers?"
"Cheers." Lin Jue also smiled.
The movie started. This time, Su Huaiwang had chosen the movie. Lin Jue didn't have any opinions on movies, so Su Huaiwang chose the movie he had always wanted to see.
Contrary to her quiet appearance, Su Huaiwang prefers disaster films, especially those doomsday films where all order is destroyed. Therefore, what is playing on the big screen now is a recently released disaster film.
A grand wave of special effects came over him, and Su Huaiwang quickly immersed himself in it. He drank one glass of wine after another, and poured some for Lin Jue from time to time.
Lin Jue had no interest in the film, but he was watching it seriously. However, his attention would always accidentally drift to Su Huaiwang.
Halfway through the movie, the bottle was already empty. Su Huaiwang poured the wine out of the bottle twice, but no more wine dripped out. He frowned in dissatisfaction and stood up.
"I'll get another bottle of—"
"I'll go with you." Lin Jue suggested.
Su Huaiwang pondered for a moment, but unfortunately her brain was a little slow and she couldn't figure it out, so she ordered Lin Jue with peace of mind:
"Okay, bring back some snacks."
She pointed to a pile of empty bags on the table.
The two paused the movie, opened the door and walked out. The dog on the ground raised its head lazily, but for some reason, did not follow them.
Walking into the kitchen, Su Huaiwang opened the refrigerator door and handed something to Lin Jue while muttering, "This tastes delicious. Try this one when you have time. It's sweet."
"Let me try." Lin Jue held the wine, looking well-behaved, with a pair of big eyes staring at her eagerly.
"Ah, there's this!" Su Huaiwang didn't know what he saw, and his voice suddenly became excited.
She reached into the refrigerator for a while and pulled out a bag of duck food: "I just bought it today! We can have it tonight! It's perfect with wine! I've been craving it for a long time!"
"Then why didn't you take it out just now?" Lin Jue was a little curious.
When she asked this, Su Huaiwang was speechless for a moment, then scratched his head awkwardly: "The smell is a bit strong, and... well, it tastes a bit messy..."
I don’t know whether Su Huaiwang wanted to protect his own bag or wanted to respect Lin Jue’s bag. In short, his left and right brains were fighting each other at that time, and he didn’t take it out.
"So you want to eat?" She poked Lin Jue and asked cautiously and expectantly.
"Of course I will." Lin Jue smiled brightly, making Su Huaiwang feel a little dizzy, as if he was floating in the clouds.
Did he drink too much? She thought to herself, but quickly dismissed the possibility and happily ran back to her room with the wine in her hand.
The different colored wines were served again. Whether intentionally or not, the distance between the two of them moved closer, their arms touching.
Su Huaiwang raised her head and drank the wine in the glass. A feeling of restlessness arose for the umpteenth time. She made up her mind and simply put her head on Lin Jue's shoulder.
It's nothing, she consoled herself, because she and Tu Zhizhuo often did the same thing. After drinking so much, she began to selectively ignore the fact that she hadn't had a sexual dream with Tu Zhizhuo, but she had with the man she was leaning on.
People who drink often have a sense of liberation called "let tomorrow's self worry about it", and Su Huaiwang is no exception.
Because of this, her behavior became more and more bold, and she even dared to open her mouth silently and let Lin Jue feed her.
This was completely unimaginable for Su Huaiwang who was awake during the day.
And Lin Jue actually obeyed her like this. Not only did he change his position to make her more comfortable, but he also peeled the food and fed it to her with a smile. In the end, Lin Jue even helped to hold the wine glass.
Su Huaiwang only had to raise his head and signal with his eyes, and at most hum occasionally.
For a moment, Su Huaiwang felt that he was living a life of having everything provided for him. His mind was in a daze and he didn't know where he was.
Lin Jue glanced at the woman on his shoulder, whose eyes were a little distracted. The heat from her cheek had rubbed against her skin through her clothes.
At the end of the movie, the protagonist returns to his hometown which has been destroyed and bursts into tears.
By the time Su Huaiwang had drunk so much, he no longer knew what the "restraint" in his mind was, and began to mutter to himself:
"Home, is my hometown that important? Is it important? Hmm? Do you like Minguan? Do you want to go back? If you want to go back, why did you leave? Hmm? Why?"
Su Huaiwang's sentence order had begun to become disordered, and he kept repeating several key words and phrases, which was a sign that he was drunk.
She turned Lin Jue's hands in her palms, as if she was playing with a toy, then stopped and compared them carefully.
"Why are your hands bigger than mine? Am I not taller than you?"
The white hand in front of me has beautiful bone structure, slender but strong, and I can feel its flexibility just by touching it.
"Move a little." Su Huaiwang pressed the base of the fingers of this hand with his thumb.
Lin Jue moved her fingers obediently, so Su Huaiwang smiled with satisfaction and shook hands with her as a reward.
"Where are you from?" Lin Jue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Me? I'm from Sibei. Tu Zhizhuo and I are from the same place. We've known each other since we were kids."
Sibei is the capital of this province and also Tu Zhizhuo's destination for the train today.
But Lin Jue's attention was clearly not on this city: "Have you known each other since childhood?"
"Yeah, yeah." Thinking of this past event, although the curve of Su Huaiwang's mouth did not grow much, he smiled with his eyes curved: "You don't know how willful she was when she was a child. Like a little princess, she got whatever she wanted. One time..."
She paused, sighed imperceptibly, opened her eyes a little, stared at the two people's loosely clasped hands, opened her mouth, and continued:
"...One time, she cried and insisted on walking with me. The two of us walked over three kilometers all the way to my house. She was so tired, her head was covered in sweat. Her driver was even more tired, and he kept following us at a snail's pace."
The memories came to an abrupt end here, the last shot of the movie ended, and the cast and ending song began playing at the same time.
Su Huaiwang came back to his senses, turned off the TV, let go of Lin Jue's hand, and got out of bed unsteadily: "I'll clean up..."
Lin Jue held her down and said, "I'll clean it up, you go brush your teeth and go to bed."
Only then did Su Huaiwang realize that she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.
Her sleep quality has been so good during this period that she has gotten used to falling asleep before midnight and feels sleepy at this time.
She raised her hand and yawned, but didn't refuse. She said thank you and staggered into the bathroom.
Lin Jue was incredibly efficient at packing up. By the time she came out of the bathroom, most of the garbage had been cleaned up.
Only the bottle of wine with a little bit of wine left in it somehow stood on the bedside table.
Su Huaiwang looked around and saw that Lin Jue was not in the room, but there were still some things left to pack. He thought she would come back again.
A little guilt and a lot of excitement surged in her heart, as she walked to the bottle of wine in small steps.
No need for a cup, just unscrew the bottle cap and pour it into your mouth.
After the last bit of wine was cleaned up, a fire rose from her chest, which had just lost its heat. Su Huaiwang wiped her mouth. She had just brushed her teeth in vain.
After putting the bottle away, she got into bed and pulled the quilt to cover the lower half of her red face, leaving only a pair of eyes that were rolling around.
The guilt and excitement were catalyzed by alcohol, evolving into a strange feeling under the thin layer of air-conditioned quilt, rushing around in her body.
Su Huaiwang felt a little abnormally excited, but she also liked this excitement, so much so that her legs even began to clamp together unconsciously.
When she thought about what she would say to Lin Jue later, her alcohol-numbed brain felt dizzy.
The footsteps approached, accompanied by the excited tapping of the dogs' paws on the ground.
While the drunkenness has not yet slipped away from your brain, while you still have the courage to speak out what is in your heart.
The moment Lin Jue pushed open the door and walked in, Su Huaiwang looked at her with a bit of pity and a bit of anticipation. His voice was muffled as he asked:
"Can you sleep with me tonight?"
