Seeing her hazy eyes, the members called her enthusiastically: “Jiang Sui, do you want to play games together?”
Jiang Sui came back to her senses, nodded, and said with a smile: “Okay.”
Chen Shujun introduced the game in a chattering voice: “This is called the Talking Dice. You can randomly report the number in your dice box, and then the other party has to say whether they believe it or not. If they don’t believe it, they can open it to verify. The total of the dice in all the boxes is the result. If the result is greater than the reported number, then you win. Let us show you.”
Jiang Sui was a quick learner. She looked around twice and then joined the group.
“Four fives.”
“Five fives.”
“Six sixes.”
“If you don’t believe me, go ahead. Hahahaha, I win.”
Jiang Sui joined Chen Shujun’s team. Although she was slower in counting, she greatly increased their winning rate.
Jiang Sui’s cell phone rang and she looked down.
It was already 21:32 at night, and he had replied with [address]
It seemed he was planning to pick her up. Jiang Sui’s eyes blossomed with a smile, and she sent him the address of You Cui Yuan.
“Sui Sui, come and play.”
After a few rounds, Jiang Sui’s team lost. As usual, the boys in the team drank for the girls. Jiang Sui’s heart was beating fast. She was thinking about whether Chi Yan liked her or not. Suddenly, she wanted to be brave, so she pursed her lips and said, “I’ll drink it myself.”
She drank a beer.
By the time Chi Yan came to pick her up, she had drunk three cups in total.
Not much. Jiang Sui was not drunk, but her cheeks were flushed. When she blinked her eyes, the light in them was so gentle and tender that even Song Qinqin, a girl, blushed.
After receiving Chi Yan’s text message, Jiang Sui said goodbye to everyone: “I’m leaving first.”
Although Song Qinqin felt sorry, she didn’t stop her: “Be careful on the road.”
Someone asked, “Do you need me to take you there?”
Jiang Sui shook her head: “Thank you, but no.”
She pushed open the door of the private room. The November night breeze was a little chilly, but perhaps because she was nervous, she even looked at the night sky in a daze.
The man leaned against the car, his eyes fixed on the neon lights in the distance, his hands in his pockets. Because of his cold and arrogant temperament, many people looked at him, but no one approached him to talk.
Maybe because she had never come home so late, his face looked bad and a little scarily cold.
Chi Yan was in a very bad mood. He had an emergency meeting tonight and, as a matter of practice, turned off his cell phone. Unexpectedly, the meeting ended at after nine o’clock before he saw the text message from Jiang Sui on his cell phone.
He didn’t go back home and came directly to the restaurant to pick up Jiang Sui.
After he became an adult, he spent more time living on Hengxia Island, not knowing now the situation was very different from what it was more than ten years ago. Ten o’clock at night was just the beginning of the night for the young and energetic college students who were night owls. So, nine o’ clock was even very early.
Chi Yan turned around and saw her. On that November night, she stood under the light, her cheeks rosy as peach blossoms.
On the way here, Chi Yan thought of many cold and scolding words.
He thought about telling her that her situation was dangerous and not as comfortable as she thought, and he thought about telling her how stupid it was to go out for dinner with a bunch of random people.
He even thought that it was necessary to ban this behavior.
Chi Yan pursed his lips, his face looking sullen and cold. Just as he was about to speak, the girl suddenly threw herself into his arms.
His nerves froze for a moment, and he almost subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist.
Under the streetlight, the man leaned against the car, and the girl hit his chest like a small cannonball. The coldness on Chi Yan’s face was completely shattered, and the indifference in his eyes shattered inch by inch. What was he going to say?
It seemed that he had forgotten it.
The wind became light and lingering. He was burned by her temperature and his fingers trembled a little. What was she doing?
No matter what, this was the first hug Jiang Sui gave him.
He was as stiff as a stone statue.
Jiang Sui’s heart was beating fast too. She raised her eyes and felt the insignificant amount of alcohol burning in her body.
Did he like her?
How much did he like her?
The man’s arms were cold, as if they were touched by the warmth of the November night breeze.
Occasionally, pedestrians on the street would quietly look at them, but at this moment, they couldn’t care. Jiang Sui raised her head with a red face. She didn’t know whether it was the effect of alcohol or her heartbeat, but she heard herself softly asking him, “Do you like me?”
When their eyes met, she saw a pair of dark eyes, even darker than the night.
Chi Yan frowned, as if thinking that she had suddenly become really troublesome and said nothing.
Jiang Sui bit her lip and put her ear close to his chest again. This time she heard his heartbeat, each beat like a heavy drum, like his answer.
Why couldn’t he say it?
She remembered the comments’ advice and suddenly found the courage to hold his face.
She stared at his lips, so nervous that her breathing trembled.
Chi Yan’s Adam’s apple moved, he gently pushed her shoulder and said in a firm and calm tone like a guardian: “You’ve been drinking, stop making trouble.”
No, she took a step forward. His heartbeat clearly told her otherwise, his heartbeat was clearly faster than hers, but his face was as cold as if nothing had happened.
She stood on tiptoe and got closer to him. He was too tall, so she grabbed his hair with her small hands and asked the man to lower his head a little.
At that moment the wind stopped, and his lips felt warm and soft.
He knew that he shouldn’t lower his head even slightly.
The wind in November was not that cold, but he could not help shivering. She was very young and naive, but she had a courage that came from nowhere, flirting with him randomly, and even kissing him lightly.
She moved on tiptoe, but he held his neck halfway, so she could only touch his lips occasionally, like a dragonfly touching the water. Her little hand was so nervous that it made his scalp hurt, but Chi Yan didn’t say anything.
Jiang Sui was really about to cry with shame because of the height difference, which was completely different from what she had expected.
It was so tiring and so shameful.
If possible, she almost wanted to cover his dark eyes and find a place to bury herself. She seemed to be performing a childish one-man show. The man had no reaction and looked at her with those cold eyes, reflecting her appearance in his eyes.
Just as she thought this, the world spun around, and she and he switched directions. Jiang Sui’s back was now pressed against the car body, and the feel of the cold metal made her blink in confusion. He supported her cheek with one hand, lifted her chin, and suddenly lowered his head.
