The barbecue restaurant the two of them went to was recommended by classmate Gu Qingchi. That classmate was very eloquent and the language he used to describe the place was very tempting at the time. Gu Qingchi was very moved at the time. He specifically asked for the name of the restaurant and wrote it down. He mentioned it to Xie Luyu, and Xie Luyu has remembered it ever since.
There are private rooms in the restaurant. The meat slices were sizzling on the grill, and I also ordered cold beer.
Gu Qingchi was dressed very student-like today, with a short-sleeved shirt, long pants, and a thin tie. There was a logo embroidered on the shoulder of the shirt, which was a brand that Mrs. Gu often bought. He also had a watch on his wrist, which was black, with a large dial and ridges on both sides. It was a very popular style among young people. Mrs. Gu bought it for him, and Gu Qingchi wore it all the time because it was convenient for him to tell time.
Barbecue is not like other ready-made food, it takes time. Before the barbecue was cooked, Gu Qingchi gulped down a large cup of it like a beverage.
After drinking, he felt thirsty and relaxed. He took off his watch and put it aside, then loosened his tie, looking very lazy.
Xie Luyu was stunned holding his chopsticks, looking at Gu Qingchi, then at the empty glass. The store sold beer in large cups, and that large cup of beer was the amount that others could drink for a whole meal.
"You've finished drinking it?"
Gu Qingchi stretched his body and looked very comfortable.
"I'm a little thirsty. This is just like water, tasteless. Let's drink something else."
Then I ordered another bottle of red wine. I don't know what brand it was, but it wasn't expensive. The store goes for the affordable price point. The cups that were served were flat-mouthed glasses, the size of a normal cup, much smaller than a beer glass. It was very down-to-earth and could be filled with the same amount of cola.
Gu Qingchi was not picky about the type of wine, and he had never been particular about it. His drinking habit was developed in the past two years. He had tried both expensive and cheap wines, as long as he could get drunk. Now it was not that he wanted to get drunk. He seldom drank now. He just felt that wine was a good match with barbecue, unlike beer. So he drank slowly this time.
They said they were drinking for two people, but in fact Xie Luyu still had a large glass of beer and didn't touch the newly ordered red wine at all. Only Gu Qingchi quickly drank two glasses.
Gu Qingchi doesn't get drunk easily, but his stomach has always been in poor condition. It has gotten better in the past two years and is not as resistant to tossing. When Xie Luyu was about to pour the third glass, he took the bottle and poured it into the large glass of beer. There was still a little beer left and the glass was big, so it was just enough to fill it up.
"You're full and won't be able to eat later. Eat more meat."
Gu Qingchi then stopped drinking without protesting. He just stopped drinking if he was told not to and just focused on eating the meat.
Xie Luyu asked Gu Qingchi while grilling meat with tongs.
"Where are you going to go to at night? School or home?"
"Home, it's not far from home."
It was at this time that Gu Qingchi took a look at his mobile phone and saw Mrs. Gu's reply to his message, so he changed his mind.
"Forget it. My mom thought I was sleeping at school. It's a bit late now. I'll wake them up if I go back."
"Then let's go back to the apartment later."
The two of them ate and grilled the meal at the same time, which took more than an hour.
Xie Luyu was grilling meat. He lowered his head and used tongs to hold the grill, frowning as he did so.
Gu Qingchi watched for half a minute, and finally couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"
"I'm grilling meat for Xiao Gu."
After answering, he frowned and asked in serious confusion: "Why can't I pick up this piece of meat?"
Seeing Xie Luyu trying hard to lift the oven with the tongs, Gu Qingchi realized belatedly that Xie Luyu was drunk. Gu Qingchi glanced at his glass and saw that there was still more than half of the wine left in it.
He said to Xie Luyu with some amusement: "Xiao Gu is full, don't grill anymore, we have to go home now."
After hearing this, Xie Luyu put down the clip and stopped crying or making a fuss. He was quite worry-free and sat there thinking for a while.
"Then I'll take Xiao Gu back to the apartment."
"Let's go then. Follow me and don't get lost."
Xie Luyu stood up and followed Gu Qingchi. Gu Qingchi was still a little worried, so he took him by the hand and led him to the front desk to check out.
He took out his cell phone and was about to pay when Xie Luyu grabbed him from behind with one hand, stuffed both his wallet and cell phone into Gu Qingchi's arms, and spoke to him politely, like an obedient child.
"Give all my money to Xiao Gu."
Gu Qingchi hugged his wallet and cell phone and smiled bitterly. Xie Luyu insisted on using the money he gave to Xiao Gu. Just like playing cat paw game with a cat, he kept pressing down Gu Qingchi's cell phone and put his own cell phone on top of it, mumbling that he wanted to use the cell phone he gave to Xiao Gu.
Fortunately, there were not many people at night, and the chubby proprietress was not in a hurry and looked at the two of them with a smile.
Gu Qingchi finally compromised. He didn't know the password of Xie Luyu's cell phone, so he had to open his wallet to see if he had any cash.
As soon as he opened the wallet, there was a photo inside. It belonged to Gu Qingchi. Gu Qingchi paused for a moment before rummaging through the money inside. Most of the money was in foreign currency. Fortunately, he found a few red bills inside and was able to pay the bill.
The proprietress was giving Gu Qingchi change while chatting with him. She was probably from the south, and her speech had a unique southern accent.
"People say that the truth comes out when drunk. I think this young man is honest and he is a man who lives a good life."
Gu Qingchi curled the corners of his mouth and agreed.
"It's quite honest."
Although Xie Luyu was drunk, he followed Gu Qingchi the whole time without saying a word, which was very worry-free. Xie Luyu had originally driven here, but he couldn't drive after drinking, so Gu Qingchi found a designated driver and the two of them returned to the apartment.
When the two of them arrived at the door of Gu Qingchi's apartment, Xie Luyu refused to go in again.
"I sent Xiao Gu back. I'm going home now."
Gu Qingchi found it amusing, he had never seen Xie Luyu like this before. Xie Luyu used to be always calm and composed, as if nothing was a big deal.
"Can you still go back?"
Xie Luyu answered in a low voice.
"I can."
Gu Qingchi didn't hear clearly.
"What?"
Xie Luyu raised his voice a little, but still not too loud, like a stubborn kid.
"I can."
"Can't you sleep here?"
Xie Luyu is very stubborn.
"cannot."
Gu Qingchi coaxed him.
"Then Xiao Gu wants Xiao Xie to stay for one night. Can Xiao Xie stay?"
Xie Luyu thought for a while, nodded, and looked at Gu Qingchi with a serious face. When he entered the door, he walked over reluctantly and whispered.
"Is Xiao Gu afraid of the dark?"
After saying that, he added another sentence.
"Don't worry, I won't laugh at Xiao Gu."
Gu Qingchi just went along with him.
"Yes, Xiao Gu is afraid of the dark."
While Gu Qingchi was talking to Xie Luyu, he was thinking in his heart whether he should go out and buy some hangover medicine for Xie Luyu. He never prepared this. He had everything at home except hangover medicine. Finally, he felt that he could not leave Xie Luyu alone at home, so he made some hangover soup. He put on an apron and searched on Baidu for how to make hangover soup.
Xie Luyu had been following Gu Qingchi like a follower. When he saw Gu Qingchi was about to put on an apron, he stopped him with a serious face.
"Are you hungry, Xiao Gu? I'll make you your favorite eggplant."
Even if Xie Luyu was drunk, Gu Qingchi would not fool him.
"I'm not hungry. I want to make a hangover soup."
Xie Luyu volunteered and said proudly: "I can do it!"
Then Xie Luyu took Gu Qingchi's apron, put it on himself, turned on the fire, prepared the ingredients, and cut the ginger. With skillful movements, when a small pot of hangover soup was ready, Xie Luyu went to Gu Qingchi to ask for praise. Gu Qingchi praised Xie Luyu generously and served him a large bowl of hangover soup.
Xie Luyu sat in front of the table, holding a spoon, with a look of bitterness and resentment on his face. He had no joy at being praised by Gu Qingchi just now, and he still had an apron around his waist. He hated the taste of ginger since he was a child and usually never put it in cooking.
Xie Luyu looked pitiful.
"I don't want to drink."
Gu Qingchi coaxed him.
"If you don't drink, you're not a good kid, and everyone will hate you."
"Does Xiao Gu hate me too?"
"Yes, Xiao Gu hates you too."
Xie Luyu's expression became serious. He turned his gaze back to the small bowl in front of him, put down the spoon, picked up the bowl and drank it in a few gulps. After finishing it, he looked at the bottom of the bowl to Gu Qingchi.
Gu Qingchi praised him.
"Great, Xiao Gu likes you now."
Xie Luyu held his head high and nodded modestly.
Gu Qingchi continued his efforts and handed Xie Luyu a new set of pajamas.
"It would be even better if you took a shower by yourself, okay Xiao Xie?"
Xie Luyu responded immediately.
"Can!"
Drunk Xie Luyu was not difficult to take care of at all. Although he was a little childish, he could make hangover soup and take a bath by himself.
After taking a shower and washing up, Gu Qingchi tried to put Xie Luyu to sleep, but Xie Luyu became more and more energetic and didn't make a fuss. He closed his eyes for a few minutes and then opened them, still acting coquettishly.
"Just hug me and I'll fall asleep."
Gu Qingchi thought he was a little cute, so he hugged him and teased him on purpose.
"How old are you? Why do you still need someone to hold you?"
Xie Luyu counted on his fingers, and finally said to Gu Qingchi sadly: "Do you think I'm old? You can't abandon me, I'm still young."
"How old are you, then?"
Xie Luyu hesitated.
"Three years old."
In the end, they hugged each other many times, and when Gu Qingchi looked at the watch, it was already early morning.
"If you hold me any longer, it will be dawn soon. Xiao Gu is already sleepy."
Xie Luyu moved inward, leaving a large area for Gu Qingchi, and patted his side.
"Xiao Gu is sleeping too."
Gu Qingchi thought about it and then really lay down.
Xie Luyu covered Gu Qingchi with most of his quilt and tucked in the corners of the quilt.
Gu Qingchi adjusted his posture and prepared to sleep.
"Then I'm going to sleep, don't make any noise to wake me up."
Xie Luyu covered his mouth and shook his head.
Gu Qingchi fell asleep quickly. Xie Luyu also had his eyes closed, but after a while he quietly opened one eye and glanced at Gu Qingchi. Finally, seeing that Gu Qingchi didn't notice, he just focused on watching Gu Qingchi. As he watched, he began to laugh. Finally, he quietly moved forward, kissed Gu Qingchi, and fell asleep contentedly.
…
It was already noon when Xie Luyu woke up the next day. The hangover gave him a headache. His first reaction was to look around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he rubbed his temples. He hissed and slowly sat up. Xie Luyu had just woken up, and his mind was still fuzzy.
"What happened..."
Not long after sitting up, Xie Luyu recalled what happened last night. He slowly lay back down and pulled the quilt over his head.
He's never drunk! That wasn't him last night! He can't be that childish!
