Xia Wenxi held Lin Shen's hand and walked steadily to the restaurant entrance. The two were even able to have a normal conversation along the way.
When Xia Wenxi saw the designated driver bring the car over, she didn't know if the car had triggered her motion sickness memories, but her stomach immediately started churning.
Fortunately, there was a trash can nearby, preventing her from vomiting in front of the restaurant.
This sudden situation startled Lin Shen, who quickly helped her up and gently patted her back. The waiter at the restaurant entrance also rushed inside to pour water for her to rinse her mouth.
Lin Shen helped her rinse her mouth and wiped it. He was about to ask if she was still feeling unwell when he saw Wen Xi look up at him with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
At this moment, Lin Shen was certain that the man was drunk.
Although I don't know why the intoxication is delayed, this is clearly the appearance of someone who is drunk.
"Wenxi, shall we go home?"
Lin Shen saw the little girl nod, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her say firmly, "I don't want to ride in a car!"
Lin Shen was also afraid that she would throw up again if she saw the car, so he simply asked the restaurant's designated driver to drive his car back.
She said softly, "Okay, then let's not take the car, let's go for a walk."
Fortunately, although Xia Wenxi was a little drunk, she was still able to walk steadily. She held Lin Shen's hand and walked obediently. If she didn't say anything, you wouldn't be able to tell that she was drunk.
The place where the two of them are now is very far from both Xia's and his home, and it would be absolutely impossible to get there without transportation.
However, even after Lin Shen walked for a while and tried taking a bus, Xia Wenxi refused to get on. Simply put, she wouldn't go on anything with four wheels.
So he planned to walk slowly towards the subway station first. If he was still drunk, he would take the subway. After all, the subway doesn't have wheels, and he thought Wenxi might be able to accept it.
It would be even better if I woke up while walking.
The subway station is 1.5 kilometers away, which isn't very far.
I've almost never taken a walk on the streets this late at night before, and naturally, I've never had the chance to appreciate the city's night view so well.
The two walked and stopped frequently, and it took them almost an hour to cover the 1.5-kilometer distance.
On the way, he also bought Xia Wenxi an ice cream, two grilled sausages, and one more sausage from a roadside stall. After buying them, he had her stuff them all into Lin Shen's mouth.
"Wenxi, we've arrived at the subway station. Shall we take the subway home?"
As a result, something unexpected happened to Lin Shen...
As soon as the two entered the subway entrance and saw the elevator, Xia Wenxi squatted down and cried, which startled Lin Shen.
"I don't want to go to work! I don't want to go to work! I want to go home, waaaaah—"
"We're not going to work; we're going home, not to work."
The subway was crowded on Sunday, and police officers were on duty outside the subway station. They quickly noticed the unusual situation.
"Sir, please show me your ID card."
The current situation is indeed easy to misunderstand, so Lin Shen didn't say anything and immediately took out his ID card and handed it to the police.
After inspecting the area and finding nothing unusual, the police inquired about Xia Wenxi's situation, asking, "What is your relationship with this woman?"
"We are boyfriend and girlfriend. She accidentally drank too much today, and we are on our way home now."
Fearing that there was no proof, Lin Shen also showed the police a photo of the two of them together.
After the inspection, the police on duty allowed the two to pass, but it seemed they wouldn't be able to take the subway.
Lin Shen helped Xia Wenxi up, and between booking a room nearby and having someone send over a bicycle that could carry people, he chose the former.
He hasn't ridden a bicycle for many years, let alone carried anyone, which is dangerous for both of them.
Because Xia Wenxi was drunk, the process of getting a room was not smooth. Leaving the details aside, the good thing is that Wenxi eventually fell asleep on the bed.
After Xia Wenxi fell asleep, Lin Shen made a special call to Xia Wensheng to tell him about the situation that night. Since she couldn't go home that night, Lin Shen felt it was necessary to inform Wenxi's family.
When Xia Wensheng heard about this, his first reaction was disbelief.
"How can someone get drunk and drive a vehicle?"
Lin Shen had no choice but to explain, recounting the whole story from beginning to end, and then said, "Brother, if I really wanted to do something, I wouldn't need to call you."
These words made Xia Wensheng feel embarrassed, and he explained, "I'm not doubting your character, but it does sound a bit unbelievable."
The two of them fell silent on the phone. Was that unbelievable?
That's true.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shen covered her with a blanket and let her sleep, while he sat down on the sofa in the room.
Although it was a suite with other rooms, Lin Shen had seen cases of people choking on their own vomit after getting drunk, so he didn't dare go far and decided to make do with the sofa for the night.
Xia Wenxi felt nothing and slept soundly. When she woke up, it was already dawn.
She looked around and realized she was in a hotel. There seemed to be some noise coming from the bathroom, so she tried to move to get up, but her legs ached.
In that instant, many of the "classic works" that Xia Wenxi had read flooded her mind at once...
Did she and Lin Shen do something inappropriate after drinking?
She remembered dreaming yesterday that someone wanted her to take the subway to work, which scared her half to death. Later, Lin Shen came out and comforted her, saying she didn't need to go to work, so she went with him.
So they came to the hotel?
Just as he was lost in thought, Lin Shen came out of the bathroom.
"You're awake? How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable?"
The feeling of a hangover is unpleasant. When Lin Shen first joined the company, he inevitably had to attend various parties with Lin Shuyu, and occasionally he would drink too much.
However, Xia Wenxi, who was already lost in her own thoughts, misinterpreted his question.
Unfortunately, Miss Xia had zero practical experience and had read countless works of literature that described her as "being run over by a car," so it was hard for her not to have wild thoughts at this point.
Xia Wenxi asked Lin Shen in a low voice, "What happened last night?"
Lin Shen then recounted the story he had told Xia Wensheng the previous night.
After saying that, Lin Shen looked at Xia Wenxi with a smile: "There really isn't any other mode of transportation available for me in this city."
Xia Wenxi realized she had misunderstood Lin Shen, but she still wondered as she moved her aching legs, "Why are my legs so sore?"
Lin Shen thought for a moment and gave her an answer, "It's probably because we walked from the restaurant to the subway station, and then from the subway station to the hotel."
Xia Wenxi lowered her head in embarrassment. "Won't there be any news online today? Like, the sister of the chairman of Hengyuan Group and the president of Lin's Group getting drunk in the street and going on a rampage late at night?"
