Liu Xinqi, drunk, steadied himself and tried to run to the door again.
"Brother Liu!" Gu Qi had no choice but to pull him back.
Chen Xingling walked in holding a small bowl. Seeing Gu Qi busy in a tug-of-war with Liu Xinbi, he quickly put down the bowl and rushed over to help.
"Oh my God! Why are you so drunk?"
The couple, one on each side, finally carried Liu Xinbi to the study room next door and helped him lie on the chaise longue.
Chen Xingling hurried over to bring the small bowl over and explained, "This is the hangover soup I made. Hurry and feed it to Brother Liu."
"Okay." Gu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness you thought it through."
One person supported him, and the other fed him, and the sobering soup was quickly fed to him.
Liu Xin was still dazed, still muttering: "Aqi... hurry up! Help me! I will only tell you! I dare not tell anyone else... It concerns other people's reputation, I dare not say a word like a clam... You can help me, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Qi was busy and sweating. He turned around and took off his coat.
Chen Xingling couldn't help but suggest, "Aqi, go upstairs and take a shower. The water is already boiled and in the kettle. Just turn it on."
Gu Qi looked at Liu Xin with some concern, and whispered, "Brother Liu is in this state, I'm afraid it's not easy for him to leave."
"It's okay." Chen Xingling explained: "I'll stay here, you can go and come back quickly."
Seeing that Liu Xinbi seemed to fall asleep with his eyes closed after drinking the sobering soup, Gu Qi quickly put on the thermos and the luggage and hurried upstairs.
Chen Xingling didn't walk far, but quickly turned around and cleaned up the table.
During this time, she stood on tiptoe to look towards the study, and found that Liu Xin was sleeping soundly and did not feel uncomfortable, so she continued to work with peace of mind.
When eating hot pot, you only need to wash the dishes and chopsticks. There won’t be much left over, so just pour them together and put them away.
He moved the stove back to the kitchen, put everything else in the kitchen as well, then turned back to the study.
"Qing'er... Qing'er..." Liu Xin called out in a daze, "Come back soon... Come back."
Chen Xingling had just heard a rough outline of what was going on in the kitchen, and couldn't help but advise, "Brother Liu, stop shouting and go to sleep. If you feel dizzy, just close your eyes and go to sleep."
Liu Xin looked at her with confused eyes and asked confusedly: "Who are you?"
"I am Gu Qi's wife." Chen Xingling answered casually.
Liu Xin thought about it seriously and seemed to finally remember it.
“…It turned out to be my sister-in-law.”
Chen Xingling poured some warm water and came forward to remind him: "Brother Liu, drink more water, it will make you feel better."
"...Thank you." Liu Xin took it and drank it, then held the cup in his hand, thinking: "She is different... She likes enamel things, and uses enamel basins, cups and rice bowls. She doesn't like this kind of glass, saying that it is not durable and easy to break."
Chen Xingling said "Oh" and didn't know what to say.
Liu Xinbi leaned on the chaise longue, half-closed his eyes as if thinking about something, and then he actually began to sing softly.
Chen Xingling: “…”
Well, she wanted to laugh a little, but she knew she couldn't laugh, and she was embarrassed to laugh. After all, drunk people might behave in all kinds of unexpected ways.
Liu Xinqi sang very seriously, his voice was low and hoarse, with a touch of indescribable sadness.
Chen Xingling didn't understand what song it was, but he felt it was an old love song, the lyrics of which implicitly expressed the beauty of love and the pain of longing.
At this time, Gu Qi came back, his footsteps very light.
When he heard Liu Xinbi singing, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Chen Xingling looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You stay with Brother Liu, I'll go wash the dishes."
Gu Qi held her shoulders and whispered, "It's too late, the water is too cold, don't touch it. Leave it there, I'll wash it tomorrow morning."
Chen Xingling felt sweet in her heart and whispered, "I'm not having my period yet, so I'm not afraid of cold water."
Since she returned to Yucheng, the couple slept in the same bed again, and he was very attentive to her daily life.
At that time, she was very weak, and he took good care of her. He was reluctant to let her do heavy work, and he also didn't let her touch cold water.
Later, her health recovered and her menstrual cycle returned to normal, but he would still take care of all the cleaning tasks at home during the few days of the month when she was not convenient.
"No, it's too cold these two days." Gu Qi said, "Your hands and feet will get cold after you wash them, so it's better for me to wash them."
Since he insisted, Chen Xingling did not go to the kitchen.
Liu Xin saw Gu Qi coming and asked with a smile: "Aqi, is the song I sang good?"
The words "It's hard to put it into words" were written on Gu Qi's handsome face, and he nodded with difficulty.
Liu Xinyi sighed and explained, "She really likes this song and always hums it. The lyrics are so bitter... just like the feelings between me and her."
Then, he looked at Chen Xingling and asked, "Sister-in-law, you don't like this kind of song, right?"
"I don't like it." Chen Xingling said honestly: "I can't appreciate it, and I can't sing it."
Liu Xinyi smiled obscurely and said, "That's because you haven't experienced it. You marry the person you love, and the person you love can also give you a happy family."
"Yeah." Chen Xingling said perfunctorily, "That's true. Brother Liu, it's getting late, go to bed early. I'll ask Aqi to get you a thick quilt."
"Sister-in-law!" Liu Xin suddenly called her and said with a dazed look in his eyes, "If - I mean if. If one day Aqi disappoints you, will you forgive him once? Will you give him another chance?"
Chen Xingling was slightly stunned and instinctively looked at Gu Qi standing beside him.
Gu Qi smiled bitterly: "Brother Liu, you are drunk and confused, go to sleep quickly."
"I'm not drunk." The drunk man insisted that he was not drunk and continued to ask: "Can you? Can you give him another chance?"
Seeing that he was a little reluctant, Chen Xingling had no choice but to nod in response.
"Of course not, because I love him. He is my husband and the father of my son. I have a lot of reasons to give him a chance, maybe more than once."
After hearing this, Liu Xin was stunned and stood there motionless.
"…Reason? But she doesn't seem to have any reason."
Chen Xingling lowered his eyes and whispered, "Brother Liu, people keep moving forward, and time will never stop for a second because of someone's misfortune or luck. You said she waited for you for so many days, which shows that she sacrificed a lot for you. A woman's youth is only a few days long, and she is willing to wait for you with her most precious time, which shows that she really loves you."
"Then-then why didn't she wait a few more months?" Liu Xinyi murmured suspiciously: "I have always known how she feels about me. I don't know how to describe it, but her love is as deep as the sea."
Chen Xingling sighed, "She has been quietly giving to you, but you can't respond to her. You are not qualified to ask her to wait forever, and she doesn't have to spend her youth waiting for you. Waiting without hope is so painful. She can't wait here forever. She goes to pursue her new lover, you should be happy for her."
Liu Xin was stunned and slowly fell on the chaise longue.
"I... I'm not happy at all. When I got divorced... I wasn't particularly happy. Because I finally got it done, but the person who was waiting for me and loved me disappeared. I got divorced for myself, and for her."
"Brother Liu, stop talking and go to sleep." Gu Qi couldn't bear to listen anymore.
Liu Xinyi murmured sadly: "Aqi, do you think I'm going too far? Don't you think so?"
"No." Gu Qi said, "We are good friends and good brothers. You are loyal and trustworthy, you are righteous and you can distinguish right from wrong. You are a person who deserves deep respect. As for your love and marriage, it has little to do with me, so I can't comment on it."
Liu Xinqi insisted on getting an answer, so he turned to look at Chen Xingling.
"Sister-in-law, then you tell me. Do you think I have gone too far?"
Chen Xingling was a little embarrassed and whispered, "To be honest, you are really bad at relationships and marriage. First of all, you can't manage your marriage well. Marriage is for two people, not just one person. Although the other party is at fault, you are not without responsibility."
"...Yes." Liu Xin agreed in a daze.
