sleep
Xiao Mu sniffed, her mouth pursed, and she finally burst into tears. "My barbecue restaurant, wuwuwuwu. I saved up money for a long time to open this restaurant, and it's gone just like that. Xixi, do you know how sad I am, wuwuwuwu."
Xu Xi handed her a tissue. "It's okay. As long as you're alive, you can start over. You're at the bottom now, but starting tonight, your future will be all uphill."
After Xu Xi said this, her heart ached. Before her rebirth, she worked so hard to make money, but later lost her life. She also realized that being alive was the most important thing. Only when you are alive can you make money well, and only when you are alive can everything be possible.
Xiao Mu blinked her tear-soaked eyes, picked up the wine bottle, gulped down two gulps, and then said, "Xixi, you're the best."
Xiao Mu said as he stuffed another bottle of beer into Xu Xi's mouth. "Come on, let's have another one."
Xu Xi took the wine without hesitation and drank half of it with her.
So this is what it feels like to be there for a friend in need. She didn't feel bothered, but rather felt a warmth in her heart. Thankfully, she was reborn, and thankfully, her friendships remained.
Xiao Mu was a little drunk at this time, and was staggering even when sitting. She suddenly looked at Chen Shuning, raised the bottle and handed it to him. She thought to herself that these two people had helped her a lot tonight, and she had to help them get along. Now was the time to play the role of a friend. So, Xiao Mu:
"Come on, Chen Shuning, you drink too. Although we've only known each other for a short time, I want to thank you for your help tonight. As a thank you, let me tell you the truth, our Xu Xi, she's actually quite good, uh, chasing... uh."
Xu Xi felt that there was something wrong with what Xiao Mu said next, so she stood up and grabbed the bottle, and covered Xiao Mu's mouth with her other hand to stop her from talking nonsense. It seemed that this guy was very drunk. Xu Xi looked embarrassed:
"Shuning has to drive soon, so she won't drink. Xiaomu, we won't drink either. You're drunk, so get some rest first. There are still many things to deal with next, so you have to take care of your body first."
Xiao Mu was interrupted and mumbled, "Oh, driving? Then you really can't drink. Well, I won't drink anymore."
After he finished speaking, he fell asleep on the table in a daze. Xu Xi and Chen Shuning put him on the bed, cleaned up briefly, and left.
After leaving Xiao Mu's house, Xu Xi and Chen Shuning walked side by side. Chen Shuning asked her, "Are you okay? Are you dizzy after drinking?"
Xu Xi looked sideways and replied softly, "It's okay. I can drink quite well. I don't feel dizzy."
Although she said so, she was actually almost there. If she drank another half bottle, she would probably collapse like she did that night when she drank to "give herself courage".
They came to Xu Xi's car. Xu Xi gave her car keys to Chen Shuning and was about to open the door to get in. But Chen Shuning said, "I'll buy you a glass of lemonade to sober up. You wait for me in the car."
Xu Xi raised her eyes, feeling sleepy and drunk at this moment. She looked at the beautiful person in front of her and saw that she wanted to buy her lemonade. She was very happy and agreed immediately.
"Yeah, okay."
Xu Xi sat in the passenger seat of the car and looked out the window. The figure who was buying lemonade for her became increasingly blurry.
For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to that summer in junior high school. The back of the man who kissed her and ran away seemed to suddenly appear in front of her. In a daze, that figure overlapped with Chen Shuning's figure. They really looked alike. How could they be so similar?
Xu Xi shook her head, thinking that she must have drunk too much. How could Chen Shuning be the person who kissed her and ran away?
It can't be. Definitely not.
She turned her head back, leaned back against the car seat, stopped looking outside the car, and tried to relax and not think about those impossible things.
When Chen Shuning came back from buying lemonade, she found that the people in the car were already asleep. She gently opened the door and got in the car. After putting her things away, she leaned towards Xu Xi and called her tentatively.
"Xu Xi?"
Xu Xi had fallen asleep and did not respond.
Seeing Xu Xi didn't respond, Chen Shuning didn't bother waking her up again. She looked closely at Xu Xi's face. Her eyelashes were thick, her eyebrows were beautifully shaped, her nose was small and straight, and her mouth was as small as a cherry. She took a deep breath, resisting the urge of déjà vu. She gently pulled the seat belt over and fastened it for Xu Xi, then lowered the car seat a little to make it easier for her to sleep.
Chen Shuning didn't sit up straight immediately, but continued to look at Xu Xi from this leaning position. Her eyes fell on Xu Xi's lips, and then she sighed to herself and whispered, "Do you still remember the time when someone secretly kissed you when you were in school?"
As she spoke, she raised her left hand and gently touched Xu Xi's lips with the tip of her left index finger.
