Chapter 23

Maybe it was because the colored balls in the box were too bright and the sound was too loud, Tao Luanxi felt like she was drinking alcohol in her glass of orange juice. Her limbs were limp but her mind was extremely excited. She wanted to rush over and shout into the microphone: "Get out of the way, you idiots! I'm here!"

No, no, no!

Tao Luanxi patted her hot cheeks, tried hard to suppress the nonsensical impulse in her heart, stood up and prepared to go out for some fresh air.

Qiu Yi was sitting at the outermost seat, with his long legs crossed against the coffee table. If he wanted to leave, he would have to go around him.

Tao Luanxi bravely kicked Qiu Yi with his knee: "Move aside, I want to get out!"

"Where are you going?"

"Going to the bathroom." If you don't say this, this guy will probably follow you.

Qiu Yi nodded and slightly turned his body, but the presence of the long legs was too strong. Even though Qiu Yi tried his best to make way for him, the gap in between was not that big and he still had to step over Qiu Yi's legs.

When Tao Luanxi turned over, her back foot was tripped by Cha Ji. She bent her back foot and sat on Qiu Yi's lap. Qiu Yi quickly reached out to support her. The distance between them was instantly shortened. Qiu Yi could even smell a hint of shower gel on Tao Luanxi's body, mixed with a little sweetness of orange.

Qiu Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Throw yourself into my arms?"

Tao Luanxi was a little annoyed, so she raised her hand and pushed him. This time she pushed him quite hard, and Qiu Yi's upper body hit the back of the sofa. Tao Luanxi stood up and walked out without looking back.

At this time, the KTV was full of people. Tao Luanxi swayed left and right and reached the rooftop. The cool breeze at night blew on her face, taking away a trace of heat. Tao Luanxi breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more comfortable.

Just as she was about to walk outside, Tao Luanxi touched something soft with her foot.

"Damn, that blind guy? Doesn't he know how to look at the road?"

Tao Luanxi lowered his head and stared at Zhang Zhi for a long time.

Zhang Zhi rubbed his back and muttered softly, "Why is it you?"

Tao Luanxi knew that this person probably didn't like her, so she planned to go somewhere else to cool off in order not to cause trouble. However, just as she was about to leave, she saw Zhang Zhi holding a cigarette in his hand. Tao Luanxi felt like talking today, so she said, "It's not good for minors to smoke. They won't grow taller."

Zhang Zhi said with a "tsk". "What's wrong with you? Is it your business if I smoke?"

Tao Luanxi simply sat down next to Zhang Zhi and said seriously, "Second-hand smoke can also be harmful to your health."

Zhang Zhi looked at Tao Luanxi with red cheeks in front of him with a frown on his face, wondering in his heart, has this guy been drinking?

Tao Luanxi looked unwilling to give in, and Zhang Zhi had no choice but to shake the cigarette in his hand and said, "It's not lit yet, I'm just playing with it."

"Why not order it? Is it fun to hold it?"

???

Zhang Zhi looked at him with a puzzled look on his face: "How much did you drink?"

"Two."

"White or beer."

"Yellow."

"That's not much!"

Tao Luanxi smiled and said, "Orange juice."

"..." Zhang Zhi frowned: "You are kidding me!"

Tao Luanxi just smiled foolishly and said nothing. She felt happy for no reason. "Did you have a fight with Qiu Yi recently?"

Zhang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then stared at Tao Luanxi's face suspiciously: "Did Qiu Yi tell you?"

Tao Luanxi shook her head: "Even a fool can see that you two haven't been in touch recently."

“…”

Zhang Zhi had never realized before that Tao Luanxi could say such irritating words.

Tao Luanxi didn't care what Zhang Zhi thought, and just kept talking: "What's the problem between the two old men? Is it worth it to make such a fuss for so long? My sister and her best friend are not so noisy! Ha!"

Tao Luanxi spoke with confidence, as if he was not the one who had been in the cold war with Qiu Yi. Originally, he said this to complain about Qiu Yi, but accidentally dragged Zhang Zhi into it.

Zhang Zhi's face darkened instantly: "What do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone called Tao Luanxi's name from behind. Zhang Zhi turned around and saw that it was indeed Qiu Yi. These two have been sticking to each other like chewing gum lately, and they follow each other everywhere without caring what others think.

Qiu Yi held up an orange juice can and waved it in front of Tao Luanxi: "Is the orange juice you just poured from here?"

Tao Luanxi turned her head and took a look: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Qiu Yi was speechless: "I don't know how much wine was redeemed by that brainless guy in there. How much did you drink?"

Tao Luanxi suddenly realized why he was so hot all over and so excited that he couldn't think clearly. He was drunk. But it was too late to know now. Tao Luanxi blinked and tried to recall. He pointed to the number two with his hand: "Two cups."

There was not much left in the jar. Qiu Yi's face was a little gloomy. When he pulled up his sweatpants and was about to sit next to Tao Luanxi, he noticed that there was a living person here.

Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows: "You are here too!"

Zhang Zhi pursed his lips and glared at Qiu Yi: "I was here first!"

Qiu Yi pretended not to notice the roll of eyes, and didn't mind his tall and strong figure being a hindrance. He sat down between Zhang Zhi and Tao Luanxi, forcing Zhang Zhi to move a little further away to make way for him.

"I said, you two are so self-righteous when you seize other people's territory?"

Qiu Yi poured the last bit of orange juice and beer in the can into his mouth: "Is your name Zhang Zhi written here?"

Zhang Zhi was too upset to say anything, and turned around to leave, but Qiu Yi stopped him and said, "Since we've met, why don't we chat?"

Zhang Zhi said coldly: "What are you talking about? Are you telling me about your relationship with this guy?"

"It's not finished yet. If you're interested, I can tell you about it after the finale."

Shit! Zhang Zhi rolled his eyes and raised his feet to leave. Tao Luanxi tilted his head and looked at him with a smile: "Are you scared?"

Zhang Zhi wanted to beat someone up. Why are these two guys so annoying?

Qiu Yi propped up his head to watch the excitement: "Sit down, the King's Game is still going on inside! You will play with your phone when you go back."

Zhang Zhi had no choice but to sit back in his original seat.

Qiu Yi took out a box of milk from his pocket as if by magic, inserted a straw and waited until it reached Tao Luanxi's mouth.

Tao Luanxi pouted: "I don't like drinking milk."

"Be good, sober up."

Tao Luanxi tilted her head and pretended not to hear. Qiu Yi continued, "It can also supplement protein, help you grow taller and build muscle."

This time Tao Luanxi moved, and reluctantly grabbed the milk carton and took a few sips.

Qiu Yi still had one can, so he turned around and handed it to Zhang Zhi: "Would you like to drink it?"

Zhang Zhi rolled his eyes: "Are you teasing a kid?"

Qiu Yiquan thought he was refusing, so he removed the straw and drank from it himself.

Tao Luanxi leaned against the wall, relying on the slight coolness on his back to stay awake. Qiu Yi held a straw in his mouth and said in a clear and charming voice: "You played well in the game today."

Tao Luanxi snorted in his heart. This kid was only focused on showing off on the court. How could he have time to look at others? This was absolutely nonsense.

Zhang Zhi and Tao Luanxi had the same idea. They snorted and said sarcastically, "How could you have time to look at others? Your eyes are almost glued to the stands!"

"Yes," Qiu Yi admitted straightforwardly, "I just found some random words to compliment you."

Tao Luanxi burst out laughing, thinking it was a miracle that Qiu Yi had not been beaten to death for so many years.

Zhang Zhi probably really felt that he had been fooled. He stood up with a bang, his eyes full of anger.

"Tsk, I'm just saying something, why are you in such a hurry?" Qiu Yi sucked his milk and said, "I have something else to say, can you listen to it?"

"I just wanted to say thank you."

Zhang Zhi obviously didn't buy it: "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for creating this opportunity for me. Without your help, I might not have a chance now."

Tao Luanxi snorted and interrupted, "You have no chance now!"

Qiu Yi glanced at him without saying anything, then smiled and pulled him towards her. Zhang Zhi saw this and felt like someone was forcing a mouthful of dog food into his mouth.

Qiu Yi turned his head and looked at him: "That's what happened. You already knew about it. We are all brothers and I don't want to make things too awkward. Let's just forget about the last incident. What do you think?"

Zhang Zhi was silent for a long time, then he sighed and sat down. He looked past Qiu Yi at Tao Luanxi, who had a misty look in her eyes, and said in an ambiguous way, "This kid seems to be quite different in private."

"She has personality and is adorable." Qiu Yi pulled Tao Luanxi closer and gave Zhang Zhi a warning look: "Don't think about it. There's no place for you!"

Zhang Zhi almost laughed out of anger: "I'm a straight man!"

Tao Luanxi pushed Qiu Yi from behind and said, "You don't get a share either!"

After that, Zhang Zhi went back without saying much. Qiu Yi snatched the empty milk carton from Tao Luanxi's hand and threw it into the trash can. He stood up and patted Tao Luanxi on the shoulder: "Let's go. I'll take you home."

Tao Luanxi knew that she was drunk, but not very drunk. She just felt extremely high, as if she was in ecstasy. The whole moment seemed wonderful to her. Even Qiu Yi, who accompanied her home, seemed wonderful.

Tao Luanxi talked all the way, and Qiu Yi listened quietly, occasionally responding twice to indicate that he was listening. Tao Luanxi talked about his parents, his stupid dog, and how he read books until the early morning every night and did physics problems until he wanted to vomit.

When they were almost home, Tao Luanxi sobered up, exhaled twice and smelled, there was no smell of alcohol, and stood in front of Qiu Yi again: "Can you smell me to see if I still smell of alcohol or cigarettes?"

Qiu Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Tao Luanxi to be so proactive. He bent down and sniffed his neck. There was only a faint hot fragrance.

Tao Luanxi was anxious to know the answer so that she could go home and deal with her parents, but she ignored the gradually darkening look in the eyes of the person in front of her.

"No." Qiu Yi's voice was deep.

Tao Luanxi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go home when Qiu Yi hugged her from behind. The skin on her neck touched the warmth of another person, and that person took a deep breath, and the air flow brought a cool feeling to his neck.

Tao Luanxi shrank back and subconsciously tried to push him away, but Qiu Yi had already let him go and said innocently, "I drank a little too much today."

Drinking too much can lead to chaos?!

Tao Luanxi woke up all of a sudden and was about to hit with his fist. Qiu Yi stood there quietly, looking at him with a smile. Tao Luanxi was a little hesitant to do it.

"I want to do much more than this, but if you don't want to, I won't make it difficult for you."

Qiu Yi smiled: "Just consider it as a small reward for me!"

The author has something to say: I came back late again today, and I can only finish 3,000 words. My face hurts a little. I can't set random flags in the future. I'll give everyone red envelopes. Don't dislike me~
