When Fu Qinian saw the video sent by Huo Jinning, his heart tightened.
It's so late, why is Huo Jinning suddenly sending him a video? Has something happened?
Fu Qinian didn't dare to delay and quickly pressed the answer button.
In the video, Huo Jinning's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if she were immersed in her own world. It was obvious that she had drunk too much.
Seeing this, Fu Qinian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little.
"Ningning, what's wrong? Is something the matter?" Fu Qinian asked gently.
Fu Qinian was originally preparing to rest, but at this moment he was wide awake.
"Handsome guy..." Huo Jinning blurted out as soon as she saw Fu Qinian.
Looking at the drunk Huo Jinning in front of him, Fu Qinian felt both curious and amused.
This was the first time he had seen Huo Jinning like this; she looked dazed yet adorable.
Upon hearing Huo Jinning call him "handsome," Fu Qinian's lips curled into a slight smile, but he did not respond.
He then adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable.
"Wow, I think I'm falling in love. Is that smile going to kill me?"
Huo Jinning suddenly brought her face close to the camera, and Fu Qinian saw her face magnified.
For a moment, Fu Qinian's heart pounded uncontrollably. He didn't know if this strange feeling was because of Huo Jinning's words, "I'm going to fall in love," or because of her suddenly close and magnified face.
“Hmm, I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before…” Huo Jinning tilted her head and looked at Fu Qinian.
"Ah Qi! It's you! No wonder someone is so handsome."
Huo Jinning's eyes widened, as if she had finally recognized who the person opposite her was.
Fu Qinian looked at her on the screen, a slight smile of doting on his lips, and nodded gently, making a soft "hmm" sound.
At this moment, Huo Jinning seemed to remember what she had wanted to do before, and said excitedly, "Aqi, let me tell you, I sing really well. I'll sing for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to start singing.
He listened to Huo Jinning's singing with a gentle expression, as if he were immersed in a world that belonged only to the two of them.
If one doesn't listen carefully to Huo Jinning's singing and only observes Fu Qinian's expression at this moment, one might mistakenly think that he is leisurely enjoying the beautiful music.
At this moment, Fu Qinian's expression was both incredibly gentle and full of doting affection, his gaze fixed on Huo Jinning as he silently watched her sing haphazardly.
After Huo Jinning finally finished singing a song, she couldn't wait to ask, "Did I sing well?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinian quickly nodded in response, "Yes, it sounds very nice." His tone was exceptionally serious.
Encouraged by the praise, Huo Jinning became even more motivated and excitedly said, "Then I'll sing you another song!"
Fu Qinian smiled and said, "Okay."
So Huo Jinning continued to sing cheerfully.
Finally, Huo Jinning fell asleep with her phone in her hand, and this "unique" singing session came to an end.
Fu Qinian stared quietly at the person on the phone screen, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long while, he whispered "Goodnight" before slowly hanging up the phone.
Although he wasn't thinking about her all the time these past few days, whenever he had free time, such as when he relaxed after finishing a task, or when he tasted a dish that tasted particularly delicious, he would think of her immediately.
When he received her video call, he was overjoyed.
Fu Qinian gradually realized that he had extraordinary patience for Huo Jinning.
He was not only willing to play around with her, but he also never got tired of it and even found her actions cute and funny.
This change in emotion surprised and pleased Fu Qinian.
Meanwhile, Huo Jinning didn't wake up until late the next day.
Her head was throbbing slightly, and her throat was so hoarse that she could barely speak.
She only has a vague memory of what happened last night.
She vaguely remembered that she had sent a video to Fu Qinian, so she picked up her phone to check and found that the call lasted for more than two hours!
What exactly did I say? For so long.
Huo Jinning tried hard to recall, but could only remember singing continuously; she had no recollection of any other details.
She couldn't help but tap her head lightly, secretly resolving never to drink again, not even red wine or any other kind of alcohol, because drinking leads to trouble.
As someone who is utterly tone-deaf, the songs I sing are simply unbearable to listen to, even I find them horrible. Yet I still have the nerve to go and torment Fu Qinian. Isn't that just a sin?
Good heavens, don't I have any pride?
How can I ever face anyone again?!
I might as well just let lightning strike me dead!
Just as Huo Jinning was still struggling with whether or not to send Fu Qinian a message, her phone suddenly chimed, indicating that a new message had arrived.
She looked closely and realized that the message was from Fu Qinian.
Has the year ended?
Fu Qinian thought that Huo Jinning wouldn't wake up so early after getting drunk, so he only sent her the message after finishing some work. He didn't expect that she would wake up so soon.
The onlooker commented, "I suspect you're spying on me. I just woke up and you sent me a message." followed by a laughing emoji.
"I had Uncle Wang send you some medicine. He's at the door; go and get it."
The bystander, who was watching the melon, said, "Medicine? What medicine? I'm not sick."
"It was made by my family's traditional Chinese medicine doctor. It's for treating the throat, and it works very well."
The bystander said, "Thank you."
Huo Jinning typed and deleted, deleted and typed again, going back and forth several times before finally replying with just two words: "Thank you."
I suppose my voice wasn't too quiet last night, otherwise Fu Qinian wouldn't have sent someone to deliver the medicine.
That's so embarrassing.
"I'm going to Beijing tomorrow. How about you treat me to a meal to express your gratitude?"
Fu Qinian knew Huo Jinning would feel awkward, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
The bystander, a morsel-eating charlatan, exclaimed, "Great!"
Huo Jinning was very happy when she heard Fu Qinian say that he would come tomorrow, and readily agreed to treat everyone.
See you tomorrow.
The bystander said, "See you tomorrow."
After quickly washing up, Huo Jinning went out to find Wang Kun to get the medicine.
She originally thought that Chinese medicine would be extremely difficult to swallow, but when she picked up the bowl and took a sip, she was surprised to find that the medicine actually had a slightly sweet taste and no bitterness as she had imagined.
Moreover, the medicine was surprisingly effective; shortly after drinking it, her previously unbearably painful throat felt much more comfortable.
