Chapter 28: A Little Tipsy
Chapter 28: A Little Tipsy
The train of time never stops for a moment, and the scenery along the way also passes by in a hurry.
As the internship period approaches, everyone is planning their future.
The projects that Feng Yichen and Xu Tongshang had been preparing for a long time were also being implemented one by one, and development was gradually getting on track.
Therefore, today coincides with the happy event of the launch of a team project, and also coincides with the former rivals joining the same camp because of the same business philosophy and business goals.
Feng Yichen felt that Duke Huan of Qi back then could forgive Guan Zhong's "one-shot revenge", and now he could also recruit everyone here under his command, allowing them to display their talents and achieve his own goals. This cooperation could achieve a win-win situation, so why not do it?
Know how to use people well, and make use of talented people!
Moreover, these people who are now sitting opposite each other, drinking and chatting happily, now seem to be not only equally matched business competitors, but also trustworthy partners, and even more so, friends from other places who are worth making close friends with.
It can be said that when drinking with a good friend, everything will come to light, so Feng Yichen drank a few more glasses.
After the party, Feng Yichen and Xu Tongshang returned to the dormitory together. Their roommates were also planning their future directions.
Then everyone suddenly realized that they might really go their separate ways in the future, so they all suggested going out for dinner. Since it was a farewell party, Feng Yichen naturally couldn't spoil everyone's fun.
Different from the atmosphere of suits and ties and clinking glasses at the banquet just now, the atmosphere of drinking and chatting at the food stall outside the school now has a more casual and simple flavor of life.
Fortunately, Feng Yichen had changed into a simpler casual outfit so that he wouldn't be out of place in such an atmosphere.
Perhaps it's the uncertainty about the future that makes us so emotional. Even a few drinks can't overcome the anxiety and confusion of impending graduation, nor can it overcome the regret that "the past cannot be retrieved."
Then, one of his roommates, Mo Jinse, sighed deeply while still drunk, and began reminiscing about the past. "Ah, I didn't expect time to fly so fast. If I had stuck with you guys back then and completed those winning projects in the 'Internet Plus' competition, I wouldn't be feeling so lost right now. Maybe we could have even built a business empire! Hahaha!"
At this time, Jia Qianque agreed casually and was drunker than anyone else.
Xu Tongshang laughed along with them, then continued Mo Jinse's words: "Don't always reminisce about the past. Remember, every step we take in the past and now counts, and we should all look forward."
Mo Jinse was relieved. She just stared into the distance and raised the corner of her mouth as if relieved. "Yes, maybe I still prefer to take a free path. Fortunately, our family doesn't have a huge family business that must be inherited by someone else. I have to inherit it."
Seeing that his worried expression was gone, Xu Tongshang continued, "Having goals is a good thing. Being able to follow your own ideas and become a happy and free adult is also a very good choice. How many people in the world spend their entire lives inadvertently pursuing this simple yet difficult goal."
The topics blended with time and struck the hearts of everyone at the table, but everyone never tired of talking about their expectations for the future.
…
Feng Yichen was also a little drunk, and listened quietly to them occasionally talking about unrealistic great ambitions, and occasionally chatting about very down-to-earth life goals. Although everyone was confused, the difference was that they were not bound by family and could plan their future more according to their own ideas.
He couldn't help but think of the responsibilities he shouldered, and for a moment he suddenly didn't know who was freer.
In such a carefree and singing-filled university campus life, apart from those basic obligations, there is naturally more eating, drinking and having fun.
Apart from this, if there are other topics that cannot be avoided, love is probably one of them.
So after everyone had a long and enjoyable chat about everything, they inevitably returned to the ever-popular love gossip, such as who got back together, who broke up, who was a "time management guru," who was a "love expert"...
Everyone was talking about this topic non-stop.
Feng Yichen was not interested in these topics, and the alcohol was getting to him, which made him even less interested.
It was only in this drunken state that he thought of Chi Shu.
Time passed by, and before they knew it, so many years had passed. In the so-called game of love, the two of them had never been losers because they had never even had the chance to throw the dice.
He had waited for too long, so long that he was a little confused as to whether this was the only way his life would be.
After all, he was already particularly certain—
Apart from Chi Shu, there will be no one else in his heart.
It is impossible to explain the specific reason, but it is those little details about her that surround him, making him enjoy this long and endless wait.
Thinking of this, Feng Yichen suddenly lowered his head and smiled softly, not knowing whether it was because of sweetness or bitterness.
The aroma of fireworks from the food stalls filled the air. This spontaneous, unplanned gathering was a truly enjoyable occasion. And so, under the breathtakingly gorgeous sunset, everyone leisurely embarked on their journey back to school.
However, when they reached a ginkgo grove not far from the School of Economics and Management, they saw Chi Shu standing quietly in the forest, admiring the scenery alone.
People and scenery complement each other, creating a tranquil and tranquil picture.
But they all knew that she was waiting for someone.
Sure enough, when Chi Shu, who was quietly enjoying the scenery, turned around and saw Feng Yichen beside them, the unconcealable joy in her eyes and the surprise on her face clearly confirmed their guess.
Then, as if wound up, everyone turned their heads to look at Feng Yichen's reaction.
But when they saw it, they wanted to dig out their eyes right then and there—
Feng Yichen had already completely fixed his eyes on the girl, so how could he afford to spare any glances for them?
Among them, Jia Qianque was standing with his posture swaying and disheveled in the wind. He was about to whistle to make some noise in a drunken manner, but Feng Yichen suddenly stopped him with a cold and sharp look.
Xu Tongshang, who was pulling him hard to stop his behavior, immediately dispelled some of his drunkenness, and then he "escaped into the earth" silently.
Seeing everyone leave, Feng Yichen put away his stern expression, steadied his steps, walked towards Chi Shu, and stood in front of her.
When Chi Shu looked up again, he was caught off guard and met Feng Yichen's eyes which were already filled with deep affection.
The two stood quietly in the scene, both silent.
Until Chi Shu couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head away.
Feng Yichen stared at her quietly for a moment before asking gently, "Did you come here just to see me?"
Chi Shu pursed his lips and nodded.
Feng Yichen's smile deepened: "Is it because of something?"
The tone was strangely familiar, and Chi Shu couldn't help but chuckle.
Although she felt a little embarrassed by the familiar words, her voice was gentle and cheerful: "I heard about the excellent results of your business team and wanted to come and congratulate you."
Hearing this, Feng Yichen's eyes widened with smiles, but he said, "Is that all?"
Silence spread and the two looked at each other silently.
Feng Yichen saw the gorgeous sunset in the sky through Chi Shu's eyes, which reflected her lively eyes, making him feel even more intoxicated.
Chi Shu smelled the faint scent of alcohol coming from Feng Yichen and lingering around her. In addition, his unusual look made her inexplicably uneasy.
Feng Yichen suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you been waiting for me here for a long time?"
Chi Shu paused and was about to answer when he heard this.
Feng Yichen said again: "If that's the case, then why didn't you send me a message?"
Chi Shu was silent for a moment, then hurriedly explained, "It really wasn't long. I knew you were busy, and I was worried that interrupting you might disturb you, so I just took it as a sight to see..."
Before she finished speaking, Feng Yichen suddenly took a step closer to her, his voice gentle yet a little anxious:
"Chi Shu, you are also very important to me. You are not my choice after weighing the pros and cons. Don't wait alone in the future. Send me a message or call me directly. As for the rest, I will handle it myself according to the situation."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shu looked at him in surprise, as if wondering whether this was just drunken talk.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Feng Yichen couldn't help but frown slightly, and sighed in his heart:
"I did drink quite a bit today, but my mind is still clear at this moment, and I know exactly what I'm saying. So, Chi Shu, you just need to remember that you are extremely important to me, remember?"
His words were so sincere that Chi Shu couldn't help but feel surprised and moved. He nodded and said, "I'll remember it."
Seeing her serious response, Feng Yichen felt a little relieved. However, he had been standing there for a long time in the cold wind, and now he felt even more drunk. He suddenly felt dizzy and took a step back uncontrollably.
Chi Shu was so shocked that he didn't care about etiquette for a moment. He walked forward and grabbed his arm with one hand, while holding his shoulder with the other.
The two of them were very close to each other.
Therefore, after Feng Yichen recovered from the effects of the alcohol, he opened his eyes and saw Chi Shu's worried face standing close to him.
He slowed down, raised his hand and pressed his temples, his Adam's apple rolling in the light and shadow.
Then he looked at Chi Shu and said soothingly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
As their eyes met, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
Chi Shu suddenly realized how intimate the distance and actions were at this moment. His face flushed and he was about to let go of his arm and step back. However, Feng Yichen grabbed his wrist with an irresistible force.
Feng Yichen's misty yet burning gaze at this moment carefully depicted her eyebrows and eyes, and then slowly lingered downwards.
The scenery at this moment was perfect, the atmosphere was right, and at this particular time, he suddenly felt an unbearable sense of impatience, unable to wait any longer. He had already forced himself to be self-disciplined and respectful so many times. If he didn't force himself to hold onto this fragile figure, he didn't know where she, such a timid coward in love, would retreat to.
His other fingertip gently brushed Chi Shu's hair, which was ruffled by the evening breeze. Although his voice was still steady, it had a slight tremor in it:
"Chi Shu, haven't you noticed yet? You always can't help wanting to get closer to me, but every time I want to take a step forward, you timidly retreat countless steps..."
At this point, he paused, took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but in the end he could only compromise and reveal his cards:
"You keep controlling my heart like this, Chi Shu. What exactly do you want me to do?"
Chi Shu looked at his indescribable expression and, considering the reality of his situation, felt at a loss for a moment. He stammered, not knowing how to comfort him. In the end, he just lowered his head and said regretfully, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Yichen felt unbearable and suddenly closed his eyes. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and all kinds of emotions suddenly surged in his heart.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was still unclear, and seemed to be filled with pain: "My Chi Shu, you are the only one who would torture me like this."
Feng Yichen suddenly felt that he was not drunk enough.
He just slowly leaned over and gradually moved closer to Chi Shu, then gently embraced her in his arms and lowered his head to rest on her thin shoulders and neck.
Perhaps due to drinking too much and catching a cold, Feng Yichen's slightly hoarse voice was carried by the wind into Chi Shu's ears: "Don't move, let me hold you like this for a while, okay?"
Chi Shu was a little dazed by his action. Looking at the lush vegetation around him, he realized that so much time had passed without him noticing. It seemed as if the first blooming of flowers yesterday was still before his eyes, but today it had already changed.
I once heard a line in a poem that said, "Look at half-opened flowers, drink a little wine, this feeling is the most fading."
Time passed so quickly that she left behind double images. At this moment, she didn't know whether she was intoxicated by the scenery or by herself.
However, considering that Feng Yichen was indeed uncomfortable, Chi Shu really did not move anymore, but just quietly let Feng Yichen lean on his shoulder.
Feng Yichen was even more drunk at this point, but he felt the person in his arms was considerate and didn't make any other noises. He tilted his head slightly closer to her ear and whispered softly, "Chi Shu, I've had a lot of happy events today, but seeing you come to see me just now is the happiest thing for me."
Chi Shu suddenly felt that every word was like fireworks exploding beside her ears, causing her to shrink her shoulders and turn her head slightly, and her body trembled slightly.
Then Feng Yichen chuckled and hugged him tighter.
This gentle and burning breath, mixed with touching words, brushes past the ears and into the heart, stirring the heartstrings, playing a graceful song of the heart, and with the last trace of sunset in the sky, it disperses into the alluring endless night.
