Chapter 49
Ji Jie stopped and paused on the spot for a few seconds, then turned around and looked at the sofa slowly after contemplating.
Xie Qiaoyu had already woken up at this time, muttering for a drink of water.
Shen Mian was getting up to pour water for Xie Qiaoyu, when she saw Ji Jie standing by the entrance, with an uneasy expression on her face, Shen Mian asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"You..." Ji Jie opened his mouth.
Ji Jie wanted to ask whether the relationship between Shen Mian and Xie Qiaoyu was what he thought, but he couldn't ask when the words came to his lips. All this happened so suddenly, his mind was very confused.
When Ji Jie was hesitating whether to ask, Shen Mian had already poured water and was sitting beside Xie Qiaoyu, supporting Xie Qiaoyu's body with one hand, and feeding the cup with the other hand.
After Xie Qiaoyu stopped mumbling, Shen Mian put down the water glass and raised her hand along Xie Qiaoyu's back.During this process, Shen Mian saw that Ji Jie was still standing there motionless, and asked what was wrong.
Ji Jie coughed dryly, and his voice became more uncomfortable, "It's nothing, do you want me to help you?"
Shen Mian thought in her heart that Ji Jie deserved to be a heart-warming second male, so gentle and considerate.Then he shook his head and said, "There is nothing to help, I can handle it myself."
Ji Jie said in a low voice, "Then, goodbye."
But when Ji Jie walked to the entrance, the clenched fist at his side loosened and clenched again.
After all, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart. Ji Jie turned around again and shouted: "Miss Shen..."
Shen Mian looked up at Ji Jie.
Ji Jie met Shen Mian's eyes, and asked tactfully, "When did you and Qiao Yu... get so good?"
Shen Mian answered immediately: "We've been fine."
"..."
Seeing that Ji Jie didn't speak, Shen Mian immediately understood what Ji Jie wanted to ask.
"You don't want to ask me why I'm at sister Qiao Yu's house, do you?"
Ji Jie nodded.
Listening to the moaning voices of the people around her, Shen Mian felt inexplicably satisfied, and when she returned to Ji Jie's words, she was much more gentle: "Sister Qiao Yu celebrates her birthday today, and as her girlfriend, of course I have to prepare a surprise for her at home. "
Rao Ji Jie had already guessed in his mind, but he still couldn't believe it after hearing the person's confession, "Daughter, girlfriend?"
"Yeah. I'm with sister Qiao Yu. As a friend of my sister, didn't my sister tell you?"
When Ji Jie said to leave for the second time but didn't leave, Shen Mian knew that Ji Jie must have guessed something vaguely, but he was too shocked by the thought and didn't have the nerve to ask.
Seeing Ji Jie standing there, Shen Mian couldn't ignore it.He had no choice but to pretend to explain Ji Jie's doubts, but in fact he swore an oath of sovereignty.
A few minutes later, when he saw Ji Jie's lonely back when he left, Shen Mian confessed in his heart: I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you sad, but who made you my rival in love?In order to prevent you from becoming a rival in love in the future, I have no choice but to feel sorry.
After Ji Jie left, Shen Mian made another cup of honey water and fed it to Xie Qiaoyu.
After taking a few sips, Xie Qiaoyu, who was already awake, opened her eyes. Although her eyes were hazy, she could still see clearly who was in front of her.
Xie Qiaoyu hummed softly and called, "Mianmian~"
At this time, Xie Qiaoyu's head was resting on the back of the sofa, and Shen Mian was shaking his water glass with his head down. After hearing Xie Qiaoyu's voice, Shen Mian raised his head to look at the faces of the people around him, and said in a low voice, "I'm here."
Xie Qiaoyu looked around but didn't recognize where she was, and asked vigilantly, "Where is this?"
Shen Mian was amused by the drunken Xie Qiaoyu, and comforted with a low smile: "This is your home."
"Oh~"
Xie Qiaoyu nodded with a vague understanding.
Seeing this, Shen Mian was ready to continue feeding Xie Qiaoyu some honey water, but when the water glass touched the drunk man's lips, she was pushed away, muttering: "What is this?"
"honey water."
"Water?" Xie Qiaoyu frowned: "I don't drink water, I want to drink."
Shen Mian looked down at the water glass that had been pushed away, and with a thought, he handed the glass to Xie Qiaoyu's mouth again, and said softly: "...This is mead, you have a taste."
After hearing that it wasn't water, Xie Qiaoyu opened his mouth and took a big gulp.
Shen Mian snickered and asked, "Is it good?"
Xie Qiao said, "Sweet~"
"really?"
Xie Qiao nodded emphatically, "Hmm~"
Xie Qiaoyu held the water glass and drank the sweet 'wine' one mouthful at a time. Shen Mian, who didn't need any more water, leaned her head and watched Xie Qiaoyu.
Shen Mian found out that after being drunk, Xie Qiaoyu seemed to have an answer no matter what she asked.
In order to confirm the validity of this idea, Shen Mian raised a finger in front of Xie Qiaoyu and asked, "How much is this?"
Xie Qiaoyu looked up and confirmed the answer in her heart, then looked at Shen Mian's face and moved her lips: "1~"
Shen Mian raised two more sticks: "What about this one?"
"3~"
Shen Mian withdrew her fingers, her eyes sparkling. She never expected that Xie Qiaoyu would be so cute when he was drunk. Not only did he answer every question, but he was so coquettish when he spoke that she could even see a small wave talking. Tail floating.
After poking Xie Qiaoyu's cheek, Shen Mian asked a few more questions, then asked inducingly: "Then can you tell me why you drink so much today?"
Shen Mian was very curious why Xie Qiaoyu, a person who had always been restrained, became so drunk as he is now.
Is it because today is her birthday?It shouldn't be. It was written in the book that Xie Qiaoyu didn't pay much attention to her birthday.
Xie Qiaoyu drank the 'wine' in the water glass at this time, heard Shen Mian's question, went through his mind several times to understand the meaning of the words, and then snorted coldly: "Not happy."
"Then... why are you unhappy?" Shen Mian's sixth sense told her that Xie Qiaoyu's unhappiness must have something to do with her.
Xie Qiaoyu pursed her lips: "I saw it."
When speaking, the pretty face even showed a wronged expression.
This made Shen Mian puzzled: What did you see?
Xie Qiaoyu gave the water glass to Shen Mian, put her head on Shen Mian's shoulder, and said softly, "You and Miss Ye are hugging together."
Shen Mian is messy with the water glass: Hugging together?when?
Shen Mian carefully recalled the scene where the three of them appeared together, and finally thought of what Xie Qiaoyu meant by hugging after a few minutes.
Putting the water glass on the table, Shen Mian turned sideways and gently held Xie Qiaoyu's head. Regardless of whether Xie Qiaoyu, who was drunk at this time, could still remember what happened tomorrow, he explained: "At that time, it was because sister Jingyi sprained her ankle, so I After helping her, we didn't hug each other."
Listening to Shen Mian's explanation, Xie Qiaoyu did not appear happy, but pursed her lips and murmured: "You said she was interesting...and you don't even go shopping with me..."
Shen Mian raised her eyebrows.
So this is...jealous?No way?
Shen Mian was not sure.
How could Xie Qiaoyu be jealous because of these trivial things?
Although she didn't believe it, Shen Mian still told the truth: "I'm going to buy you a birthday present."
As Shen Mian said, she took out the gift box containing the necklace from the bag behind her.
"Look, I used the bonus from the last exam to buy you a gift, because this exam is very important to me, it is a testimony of my farewell to the past, so I thought it might be meaningful to use it to buy gifts..."
Shen Mian did not continue, but kissed the corner of Xie Qiao Yu's mouth.
Because of drinking honey water, Xie Qiaoyu's lips became sweet.
Shen Mian kissed again and said, "Happy birthday."
Xie Qiaoyu took the gift from Shen Mian, stared at it for a few seconds and suddenly asked, "Can I make a wish?"
Shen Mian smiled: "Of course."
Xie Qiaoyu embraced Shen Mian's arm, buried her head in Shen Mian's neck, and said her wish.
"I know that sometimes I care less about you, so can you not refuse me for some things? For example, send you to school, send you home..."
"Every time you offered to take you home, you refused me. You said you were afraid of my hard work and tiredness, but this made me feel, feel that you don't like me at all."
After Shen Mian heard it, she never thought that Xie Qiaoyu, who would agree no matter what she usually said, would think these things in her heart.
After realizing that she had put a burden on Xie Qiaoyu, Shen Mian suddenly felt that Xie Qiaoyu's drinking too much was actually quite good, allowing Xie Qiaoyu to express the awkwardness in her heart.
Shen Mian put her hand on the top of Xie Qiaoyu's head, rubbed the child-like person like Xie Qiaoyu usually did, and whispered, "How could I not like you? The reason why I don't let you take me home is because you I'm very busy at work, I just want you to have more rest time instead of wasting it on me..."
Before Shen Mian finished speaking, Xie Qiaoyu interrupted: "You are my everything."
Shen Mian's hands froze.
Xie Qiaoyu continued: "So it's not a waste."
Shen Mian, who was moved by Xie Qiaoyu's truth words after drinking, was about to hold Xie Qiaoyu's face and kiss him twice, when the familiar ringing of the phone ruined the overall atmosphere.
Shen Mian connected: "Brother?"
Shen Zhixing: "Well, where are you? Why don't you go home?"
Only then did Shen Mian remember that she hadn't told her family that she was here to celebrate Xie Qiaoyu's birthday today, glanced at the person next to her who was leaning on the sofa, and said, "Brother, tell Mom that I won't be going back tonight."
"Not coming back?" Shen Zhixing stopped undoing his tie here.
"Well, I'm at Sister Qiao Yu's house. She's drunk, and I have to take care of her."
"Then where do you sleep?" Shen Zhixing asked.
"?" Shen Mian said, "Sister Qiao Yu has a guest bedroom at home."
Shen Zhixing hummed, and then asked: "Do you need to send it to the hospital?"
It's obviously a word of concern, but for some reason Shen Mian feels awkward listening to it.
Shen Mian let out an uh: "No, I'm just drunk, there's no other problem."
After chatting for a few more words, Shen Mian hung up the phone, turned around and saw the person who should have closed his eyes staring at the phone in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mian was inexplicably stared at by Xie Qiaoyu.
Xie Qiao said angrily, "Who is calling?"
"...my elder brother." Shen Mian was afraid that Xie Qiaoyu would not be able to remember who her elder brother was, so she added, "Shen Zhixing."
When Xie Qiaoyu heard that there was no word Ye in the name, she closed her eyes in peace and leaned back on the sofa.
"Sister Qiao Yu, I'll put you on the bed and you can sleep again."
Xie Qiaoyu nodded.
Shen Mian got up and took Xie Qiaoyu's arm and put it on his shoulder, and carried Xie Qiaoyu to the bedroom, softly instructing Xie Qiaoyu how to walk.
Just as Shen Mian got Xie Qiaoyu onto the bed, and was about to take off Xie Qiaoyu's shoes, Xie Qiaoyu sat up straight.
Before Shen Mian asked what she was going to do, Xie Qiaoyu whispered: "Wash up before going to bed~"
"... "
Shen Mian had no choice but to carry Xie Qiaoyu into the bathroom again.
Fearing that Xie Qiaoyu would faint in the bathroom, Shen Mian squeezed toothpaste for Xie Qiaoyu and asked, "Is it okay not to take a shower today?"
"Do I stink?"
Shen Mian clung to Xie Qiaoyu's body and sniffed lightly. There was some alcohol smell, but it was not unpleasant, because it was more of Xie Qiaoyu's perfume.
Shen Mian lowered her voice and said, "It's very fragrant."
"Then don't wash~" Xie Qiao said and stuffed the toothbrush into his mouth.
The author has something to say: It's hard to imagine how Mr. Xie would face himself when he woke up the next day.
