Chapter 36 Kiss
It was not until she arrived at the hotel and saw Lin Jingchuan vomiting with one hand leaning against the wall behind the toilet, her face pale, that Xu Mo realized that he had been drunk for a long time.
The last round was just a struggle.
Xu Mo patted his back to help him calm down: "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No need." The man propped his bony fingers on the light gray wall and coughed a few times. "You'll be fine after you vomit."
Xu Mo said, "Actually, you don't have to force yourself. Just tell them directly if you can't drink."
"This is my first time at your house." Lin Jingchuan tilted his head to look at her. Although his face was pale, the corners of his lips still raised a slight arc. "Saying that you can't drink doesn't seem to be serious enough."
Xu Mo touched his handsome face. His eyes were a little red from the continuous vomiting. He was so weak that it was heartbreaking. She said, "It's okay. Look, you prepared so many gifts and red envelopes. They know how much you care."
"But your father..."
He panted lightly and seemed to be in a low mood: "He doesn't seem to like me very much."
Xu Mo was silent for a moment. Actually, she had noticed it too. She comforted Lin Jingchuan, "It's okay. My dad might just be mad at me for not telling him about my wedding. My dad has practically brought me up since I was little. It's normal for him to be a little angry that I didn't tell him about such a big thing right away. But don't worry. He loves me very much and won't really blame us."
Lin Jingchuan held her hand and smiled: "Okay."
Xu Mo looked at his forced smile, and her guilt grew even stronger. Lin Jingchuan vomited for a while, and Xu Mo poured him some water, then helped him to bed to rest.
Lin Jingchuan touched her face and said, "I'll just rest for a while. I'll go home with you later. We'll spend New Year's Eve at your house tonight."
Xu Mo nodded: "Okay."
Lin Jingchuan pulled her wrist and said, "I'm so sleepy."
"This is what happens when you drink." Xu Mo comforted him.
"I want you to sleep with me for a while." Lin Jingchuan raised his eyes and looked at her. He had just washed his face and there were still water droplets on his face.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "Okay."
She threw back the quilt and got on the bed. Lin Jingchuan took advantage of the situation and held her in his arms. The small mole on the tip of his nose pressed against her face, and his nose was filled with the faint floral scent of her body. He closed his eyes and rubbed her: "Momo."
"Hmm?" Xu Mo could feel his warm breath spraying on her neck, making her feel tingling and numb.
"What did Zhao Tingyu say to you at the dinner table?"
Xu Mo:!
She originally thought that he was concentrating on drinking with his uncle and others, but she didn't expect that he was always paying attention to her and Zhao Tingyu.
Xu Mo said: "He said he felt sorry for what happened last night."
Lin Jingchuan seemed to snort softly: "Well, he is indeed not a good guy."
Xu Mo smiled, and Lin Jingchuan asked, "So what did you tell him?"
Xu Mo thought for a moment and said, "I told him I'm married and he shouldn't have any unreasonable expectations."
Lin Jingchuan's breathing seemed to stop for a moment, and his fingers gradually moved up, pressing against her heart through her clothes.
"real?"
"How can it be fake?"
Her heartbeat was steady. Lin Jingchuan lowered his eyes and said, "You asked me that day what my purpose was in marrying you. What purpose could I have?"
Xu Mo blinked and listened to him again: "I just like you."
Xu Mo:!
"Just like when you liked Zhao Tingyu, there was no reason for it." His voice was muffled and drunken with a carefree air.
He must be drunk. Xu Mo patted his back and said, "That's all in the past. Let's not talk about him anymore."
"Why can't I mention it? I already lost at the starting line." Lin Jingchuan's eyelids gradually drooped, as if he was about to fall asleep. "You can't lie to me. In fact, I'm not as powerful as you think..."
When Xu Mo spoke to him again, he fell silent. He must have fallen asleep.
Xu Mo gently touched the small mole on the tip of his nose, then poked his delicate skin. He was handsome, too, she thought, though in a different way from Zhao Tingyu. She smiled, then hugged him and closed her eyes to rest.
Lin Jingchuan slept all afternoon until Xu Mo's mother called and asked them to go to her house for dinner. He washed his face and looked much more awake than at noon.
The two returned home hand in hand. The TV was already on. Fengfeng sat on the sofa watching Boonie Bears. After being scolded by his aunt, he reluctantly switched to CCTV.
When the uncle saw Lin Jingchuan, he asked him with a smile if he was okay and whether it was okay to drink so much at noon. Lin Jingchuan smiled gently and said he was fine.
Xu Mo stepped forward and said, "Uncle, Xiaolin won't drink with you tonight."
"Oh? What's the matter?" asked the uncle.
"Don't make it difficult for him. He doesn't usually drink much." Xu Mo said, patting her chest. "How about this, I'll drink with you, old man."
The eldest aunt smiled secretly and said to grandma, "Mom, look, Momo can also feel sorry for others!"
Lin Jingchuan smiled. He gently pulled Xu Mo's hand and teased her fingers with his. Fengfeng stood in the corner and screamed like a groundhog: "Ah! I bumped into it!"
Xu Mo: “…”
Standing in the living room was awkward enough, so Xu Mo whispered to him, "Let's go to the kitchen and help!"
Lin Jingchuan agreed: "Okay."
Xu's mother was cooking vegetables in the kitchen. When she saw Xu Mo asking her to set the chopsticks, she saw Lin Jingchuan coming over and asked, "Xiao Lin, you didn't drink too much at noon, did you?"
Lin Jingchuan shook his head: "It's okay, Mom."
Xu's mother said, "Xu Mo's father is lying in his bedroom right now."
Lin Jingchuan smiled and helped to serve the food: "Dad drank a lot too."
"It's more than just a lot." Xu's mother said helplessly, "It's a lot. I slept all afternoon and didn't do any work."
Lin Jingchuan asked, "Are there any other dishes you want to cook? I'll help you."
Mother Xu smiled and said, "No, this is the last dish. Our customs here are different from those in Guangdong. We think lunch is more important, so dinner is not that sumptuous."
"Yeah." Lin Jingchuan said, "Momo said I can't drink tonight. I'll help you wash the dishes later."
Xu's mother smiled and said, "Okay."
She glanced at Xu Mo, who was playing with Fengfeng in the restaurant, and asked Lin Jingchuan, "Xiao Lin, who usually cooks when you and Momo are at home?"
Lin Jingchuan was stunned: "Usually... it's me."
Xu's mother said, "Momo is very busy at work, always working overtime, and her working hours are not very certain. During the Chinese New Year a few years ago, I saw her holding her stomach all the time, as if she was feeling upset."
Lin Jingchuan said, "Don't worry, Momo is with me. I will ask her to take care of her health."
Mother Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao Lin, you are more suitable for Momo than Tingyu. Live your life well and believe in your heart."
Lin Jingchuan smiled and said, "Okay."
It was obvious that Mr. Xu had not recovered from the alcohol he had drunk at noon, and he was not able to hold his liquor in the evening and soon fell down. My uncle didn't drink much either, so the dinner ended quickly.
Zhao Tingyu didn't show up much the whole day and didn't talk much. He went back to his room after dinner.
Xu Mo and Lin Jingchuan helped Xu's mother clean up and wash the dishes, while the others sat in the living room and watched the Spring Festival Gala together, having a great time.
After washing the dishes, in order to avoid too much gossip, Xu Mo and Lin Jingchuan slipped back to the room.
Lin Jingchuan sat on her soft bed and looked through the photo albums in her bookcase, which recorded her appearance in almost every stage of her life from childhood to adulthood.
Xu Mo was very fair when she was a child, and she looked quirky and always laughed at the camera. Later, she gradually became quiet as she grew up.
Xu Mo was sitting on the bed typing a Happy New Year message when she suddenly realized there were many photos of herself and Zhao Tingyu in the album. She quickly threw her phone aside and pretended to hug Lin Jingchuan's shoulders casually, pinching the edge of the album with her fingers: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Jingchuan said: "Look at what you looked like before."
Xu Mo realized that he had turned to her junior high school photos. The next few pages should be her high school photos, and the photo of herself and Zhao Tingyu might be on the next page. She thought that she must not let him see it.
Lin Jingchuan looks gentle and non-confrontational, but he is actually a bit mean, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned Zhao Tingyu repeatedly in front of her.
She must never let him see the photo of herself and Zhao Tingyu. After all, she had loved Zhao Tingyu sincerely, and the micro-expressions in the photo could not lie.
Xu Mo secretly exerted force on the edge of the album. She smiled and said to Lin Jingchuan, "Let me see."
Lin Jingchuan tilted his head to look at her. He knew what she was thinking. He had also guessed that there must be photos of her and Zhao Tingyu in the album.
But what she didn't know was that he was looking from the back.
He had already seen the photos of her and Zhao Tingyu.
Lin Jingchuan let Xu Mo take the photo album away. He looked at her obviously relaxed expression, and it felt like a tiny ball of ink fell in his heart.
There was a sound of a door lock clicking at the door, and he saw the man from the room opposite walk out of the room.
The door of Xu Mo's room was ajar.
Xu Mo was secretly congratulating herself on her quick hands and eyes, but she never expected that the next second, the man's lips would be on her lips.
"I want a New Year's present." She heard him say, and then her lips were gently kissed, followed by a hundred twists and turns of passionate swallowing.
Xu Mo thought, this is easy, she put her arms around his shoulders, closed her eyes and kissed him.
