Tao Qirui sat at the table, holding the strap of her backpack in her hand, and looked at the person opposite intently. She looked a little nervous, as if she was thinking about something, but at the same time she was also listening carefully to the person on the other side, giving a response or two from time to time.

"I rarely drink. Lin Yansheng smiled and poured a glass of wine into the cup,

"I've never been drunk, I don't know what it's like to be drunk, in fact, I hate being drunk because I didn't know anything at that time, I could only be at the mercy of people, I didn't like that. Tao Qirui carefully observed her expression, wondering what her purpose was for asking herself out again.

The last time I invited myself to her engagement banquet, did I invite myself to her wedding banquet this time?

Tao Qirui felt a pain in her heart, her brows furrowed, she felt unhappy, but she didn't show it.

"But this time I want to get drunk. Lin Yansheng smiled, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and her brows suddenly wrinkled, she was not used to this taste,

"Maybe when you're drunk, you don't know anything, and you don't have to think about so much for a short time. Tao Qirui snorted, she was still pondering, but she couldn't figure out anything.

She couldn't understand Lin Yansheng's thoughts, she didn't understand what a person was thinking about frequently inviting her rival out to eat and chat, if it was herself, she would never want to do it, she couldn't wait for her rival to disappear from this world and never appear again.

"I'm sorry I called you out. Lin Yansheng looked at her with a somewhat sorry expression,

"I don't have any friends..... "No friends?" Tao Qirui thought to herself, if you don't have friends, do you want to call me?

How big is this person's heart? Or is she not big at all, but has something else in mind?

But she didn't pose any threat to her, so why would she waste time on me? Lin Yansheng finished the glass of wine with difficulty, and poured another full glass, just like a short while, she had already drunk three glasses, although she was not drunk, but her head had begun to be a little dizzy, as if she was sitting on a boat, shaking and shaking.

She thought it was very funny, there was a feeling of wandering in a fairyland, and there was a feeling of wandering in her own paintings.

She stretched out her hand to support her chin, looked at Tao Qirui, and shouted with a smile: "Qirui." ”

"Huh?" Tao Qirui looked at her and hurriedly responded, unconsciously loosening the strap of her backpack.

"Do you still like Mu Yi?" Tao Qirui's heart moved, and she looked at the already drunk person opposite her vigilantly, and it took a long time before she shook her head with a smile and said, "I have a boyfriend, how can I still like him?"

"When you liked him before, what did you like about him?" Lin Yansheng asked again. Tao Qirui lowered her head, as if she was thinking, but in fact, she didn't think about anything, she shook her head and didn't speak.

"It's okay, you say, I'm not going to be angry. Lin Yansheng smiled, she was really a little drunk. Tao Qirui was a little angry, she wasn't angry yet, but she was angry?

Isn't that what she asked? But Tao Qirui didn't have a seizure, she was still hesitating about one thing, she didn't want to make the relationship between the two people stiffen so quickly, besides, Lin Yansheng didn't leave her all bad impressions, at least when she came to see herself in the days after her mother died, there was a moment when Tao Qirui was very moved in her heart.

"Actually, it's nothing. She spoke, her voice a little astringent.

"Nothing?" Lin Yansheng looked at her with a little surprise,

"It's never without reason to like someone. ”

"Then what do you like about him?" Tao Qirui asked in turn, she sensitively sensed that there must be some conflict between Lin Yansheng and Mu Yi.

"Me?" Lin Yansheng smiled, looked up at the ceiling in the distance, thought about it seriously, and said,

"I think he's nice to me, he's true to me, that's all. Tao Qirui frowned and asked, "You only like him because he is sincere to you?"

"Otherwise?" Lin Yansheng picked up the wine glass and took another sip, his expression a little tangled,

"There are very few really few in this world. Tao Qirui looked at Lin Yansheng and felt a little unfair for Mu Yi.

If Mu Yi doesn't treat her well one day, won't she like Mu Yi anymore? She thought so, asked like this, and then waited for Lin Yansheng's answer.

"If he doesn't treat me well, he doesn't like me anymore, why am I pestering him if he doesn't like me?" Lin Yansheng said with a smile, as if he thought it was ridiculous for Tao Qirui to ask such a question.

"You just asked him what I like about him. Tao Qirui said, her expression was very serious,

"I can't say why, but I just like him, I like him as a person, and I like everything that comes with him. I don't like him because he doesn't really treat me sincerely, and his presence is very satisfying for me. ”

"No, it won't. Lin Yansheng shook his head, although he was still smiling, his eyes were a little cold,

"No one would do this to another person. ”

"Isn't that what Mu Yi is like to you?" Tao Qirui asked. She saw that Lin Yansheng was stunned, and seemed to be in deep thought, but because she was drunk, she couldn't think about anything, for a long time, Lin Yansheng smiled, pointed to the food in front of her and said to her: "Eat the vegetables, otherwise it will be cold later." ”

"What are you talking to me about today?" Tao Qirui asked, she couldn't help it.

"Nothing specific to say, just a chat. Lin Yansheng didn't notice her emotions,

"I haven't seen you in a long time, how are you and your boyfriend?

"Very good. Tao Qirui said, with a bit of gambling, although Peng Zhan still came to her from time to time, it was very different from before.

Fortunately, Tao Qirui had long known that he was only pursuing himself because of freshness and curiosity, so he didn't feel lost because of this, but when Peng Peng vaguely talked to her about Lin Yansheng, she was a little unconvinced and a little angry, why, even Peng Zhan fell in love with Lin Yansheng?

What is there in Lin Yansheng that is worthy of their liking, not only Mu Yi, but now even Peng Zhan, he has begged himself several times to let her ask Lin Yansheng in the name of a friend's party, so that he can see her and satisfy his barren courtship.

"That's good, I'm glad you've found your own happiness. Lin Yansheng said,

"I really want you to be happy. Tao Qirui looked at her with a somewhat cold expression.

"Alas. Lin Yansheng suddenly sighed, and his expression became helpless and lost. Tao Qirui had never seen her show such an expression, in front of her, she was elegant and always smiling.

"What's wrong?" asked Tao Qirui, with a hint of tentativeness.

"I'm getting married. Lin Yansheng said, a little distracted, she looked at the wine in the glass in front of her, as if she wanted to find something in it.

Tao Qirui sneered in her heart, sure enough, she came out by herself, or to show off everything she had.

"What, aren't you happy to get married? still sigh?" Tao Qirui said, a little cynical, but Lin Yansheng didn't realize that she was already half drunk.

"Hmm. To Tao Qirui's surprise, Lin Yansheng nodded, looked up at her, and said,

"I felt like I was completely helpless. Tao Qirui frowned, not understanding what she meant by this.

If it were herself, she wouldn't know what it would be like to be happy, Mu Yi was so good to her, wouldn't she be satisfied?

"He completely disrupted my plans. Lin Yansheng continued, his upper body almost lying on the table,

"But I couldn't help but agree to him, I couldn't bear to see him sad. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I hit a bottleneck in my work some time ago, and now I can finally see some light, I don't want anything extra to disturb me, I just want to paint quietly. Some time ago, he said on a whim that he wanted to get married, and I agreed, and a few days ago on a whim said that he would get a marriage certificate in advance. Lin Yansheng smiled bitterly,

"Obviously, our date is booked, and I can accept stepping into the grave of marriage at that time, and now it is advanced. I can't stand that he always forces me to agree to him according to his own wishes, he knows that I am soft-hearted, and he pinched my handle. ”

"The grave of marriage?" Tao Qirui looked at her,

"Don't you want to marry him?" Lin Yansheng seemed to be a little sobered up by this sentence, she looked at Tao Qirui, thought about it very seriously, seemed to be a little embarrassed, but still said firmly: "Yes, but I don't want to marry him, I don't want to get married." ”

"Why?" Tao Qirui was a little puzzled, she didn't understand the person in front of her more and more.

"I hate getting married. Lin Yansheng said,

"There's no reason, and I can't find a reason, it's just boredom from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Then you still have to promise him?" Tao Qirui's sullen heart suddenly gave birth to some hope, she didn't know what this hope was, but she felt a trace of joy from it.

"I love him and I have to say yes. Lin Yansheng said,

"But I don't want to get married, I hate it. ”

"It's irresponsible for you to do that. Tao Qirui straightened her waist and said,

"In case you can't bear it in the future, do you want to divorce him? How much damage will it do to him?"

"I think I'm going to put up with it. Lin Yansheng smiled bitterly,

"Isn't my greatest strength just that I can endure it?"

"You don't have to do that, and since you think so, you might as well tell him and let him know what you really think. Tao Qirui said, her tone becoming more and more firm.

"No, it won't. Lin Yansheng looked at her and said,

He would only say that I thought too much, that I hadn't experienced it, and that when I experienced it, I would understand the wonders. And—" She took another sip of wine,

"And he's going to get better and better for me, so good that I can't refuse, you know?" Tao Qirui pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Lin Yansheng saw that Tao Qirui didn't speak, and she also fell silent, she drank the wine in the cup one after another, like a stargazer trapped in a sack and couldn't see anything.

After a while, Tao Qirui said: "You don't hate marriage, you don't love him to the point where you are willing to marry him." Lin Yansheng was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.

"You say you love him, but you don't love him as much as you think, he is not important to you, at least not as important as you think. Lin Yansheng lowered her head, she couldn't support her head anymore, she was dizzy, but her consciousness was barely awake.

Tao Qirui's words pierced her heart word by word, as if to drive away the alcohol in her whole body.

She couldn't help but feel a little sad, maybe what Tao Qirui said was true, maybe she didn't love him so much, and everything she revealed was just an illusion.

"Think for yourself. While saying this, Tao Qirui seemed to have made up her mind.

Think about it, think about it...... Lin Yansheng thought desperately, she was trying to keep herself awake, but her consciousness was gradually invaded by alcohol, and she felt that she was about to fall asleep.

There was no moment more than this one that made her hate drunkenness, she liked to be sober, and yet today, she allowed herself to get drunk.

But if she hadn't been drunk, there would have been no conversation, and Tao Qirui wouldn't have told the truth like a knife.

Yes, she doesn't love him, so why is she with him, why does she feel sorry for him, why has she been together for so long?

Perhaps, she was just greedy for all the novelty and passion he brought to her. Everything he has is something she doesn't have, and there is no such person around her who is willing to give everything for her.

In other words, she was taking advantage of him. Thinking of this, Lin Yansheng showed a wry smile, she took advantage of him, she never found out, he never found out, and now when he found out, Lin Yansheng felt that he was so selfish and so hateful.

Before she was completely drunk, she heard Tao Qirui say this: "I really feel unfair for Mu Yi, he is so good to you, he has given almost everything, but you are so miserable because you want to marry him, I really feel unfair for him." "This time she was unconscious, it was pitch black around her, and she couldn't feel anything, not even the length of her sleep.

It was the first time she had slept so deeply, and if there had been an earthquake, she wouldn't have woken up. Due to the busy schedule, she only sleeps six hours a day, and her body is already exhausted, this sleep seems to provide her with a chance to rest, but somehow, when she wakes up, she feels more tired than before, as if she has run dozens of kilometers while sleeping.

My head hurts, I feel sick to my stomach, and my whole body aches and hurts for some reason. She took a closer look around, she was in a strange and familiar place, and she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't remember what this place was.

Confused, the door was pushed open, and Mu Yi walked in with a plate.

"Are you awake?" he said, placing the plate in his hand on the bedside table, with no expression on his face.

Lin Yansheng looked at him, feeling a little timid, she didn't understand why she had this emotion, in order to cover it up, she only answered in a low voice and didn't speak.

"Get up and wash it, I boiled some porridge, you eat it and it's easy to digest. Mu Yi said, and he sat down in his chair and looked at her fixedly.

Lin Yansheng was very uncomfortable staring at this kind of staring, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, looking for shoes. Even the shoes and the carpet on the floor were unfamiliar, and she was not in her own home.

"This is my home, my room. It seemed to see through her thoughts, Mu Yi said. Lin Yansheng hummed, put on his shoes, got up and walked to the bathroom.

She had been here a few times as a child and still had some memories of the layout of the room. After entering the bathroom and closing the door, she breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the door and holding her forehead, feeling a little unbearable.

"Never drink again. She muttered, picking up the water and spilling it on her face. After being stimulated by the cold water, she was a little sober.

Mu Yi was still sitting upright in the chair, looking at her fixedly, staring intently.

"Don't keep staring at me, weird. Lin Yansheng said, she picked up the bowl and sent the porridge to her mouth.

"Hmm. Mu Yi lowered his head and played with a small toy in his hand. When Lin Yansheng finished drinking the porridge, he stood up, put the bowl on the plate, and said, "You have a good rest." Then he turned and walked out.

Lin Yansheng felt that he was a little weird today, not quite the same as usual. But she didn't know the reason, and she didn't want to think about it, she felt unwell, which was the sequelae of the hangover.

She couldn't lie down, she had to go back to catch up on the draft, which was almost finished. When she went downstairs, Mu Yi didn't say very enthusiastically that she was going to see her off, which was also different from usual.

Lin Yansheng felt very puzzled, she turned her head to look at Mu Yi and heard him say

"Be careful on the road", I thought it was strange, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

"Not really. Mu Yi said,

"Go back quickly, while the sun is not too high. Lin Yansheng felt a little sad, but she didn't say anything, she turned around and walked outside, closing the door gently.

The moment the door closed, Mu Yi's expression changed. He bent down and propped his hands on the table, his eyes quickly turning red.

He rarely cried, and the most his father said to him was that men don't flick when they have tears, but now he feels very uncomfortable, and his heart hurts, as if someone is holding a knife and slashing at his heart.

He thought about the expression on Lin Yansheng's face over and over again, what she said and everything she showed, he couldn't accept it, and he couldn't accept it.

Yesterday Tao Qirui called him and said that when Lin Yansheng was drunk, it took him several minutes to accept this fact.

Lin Yansheng never drank, let alone drunk, she was always rational and elegant, and did not allow herself to show any deviant behavior.

But then Tao Qirui took a photo and sent it to him, in which Lin Yansheng lay on the table, his face was red, his eyes were closed, and he had obviously fallen asleep.

He hurriedly set off from his home and drove to his destination, Tao Qirui stayed next to Lin Yansheng and never left a step.

"Are you here?" Seeing Mu Yi, Tao Qirui was a little nervous, she rubbed her hands crampedly, and quickly glanced at him.

"Well, thank you, sorry for the trouble. Mu Yi said, walked quickly to Lin Yansheng's side, bent down to help her up,

"Why are you with Yan Sheng? I didn't even know you two had such a good relationship. ”

"It was Yan Sheng who asked me out, and she said she was in a bad mood and wanted to drink. Tao Qirui said, observing Mu Yi's reaction.

"Feeling bad, want to drink?" Mu Yi refused to believe that this was what Lin Yansheng said.

If she's in a bad mood and wants to drink, why don't you look for herself?

Compared to Tao Qirui, he can give her better protection and freedom to talk, right?

"Yes. Tao Qirui said, following Mu Yi's footsteps and walking outside. Lin Yansheng was very thin, but he was still a little heavy after getting drunk, Mu Yi had some difficulty supporting her, Tao Qirui supported her other arm, and the two of them walked out as if they were a robot.

"Why are you in a bad mood?" stuffed Lin Yansheng into the back seat, Mu Yi straightened up and asked. He was a little careless, and the question was just a casual question.

Tao Qirui looked at him intently, and said without hesitation: "Because you are going to get married." ”

"Huh?" Mu Yi looked at her in surprise,

"We're getting married?"

"Yes. Tao Qirui said,

"It's the first time she's told me, and she'll probably tell you when she wakes up. But I think that since you are here, I might as well make things clear to you before and after, so that you don't have to be buried in the dark all the time and not know anything. ”

"What?"

"Yan Sheng said that she doesn't want to marry you. Tao Qirui said, her expression was very serious. Mu Yi snorted and laughed, he leaned on the car door and looked at her with his waist crossed, and said, "If she doesn't want to marry me, why don't she tell me herself, and come here to tell you when she gets drunk?" Okay, I'll go back first, goodbye." Saying that, he turned around to get into the car, but his arm was grabbed by Tao Qirui.

"You don't believe it. She said,

"When Lin Yansheng wakes up, you can ask her. Also, have you thought about why she gets angry every time you propose, why she comes to me for a drink, I don't pull her up, I don't pour her wine. It's time for you to communicate and talk to each other clearly. ”

"It's none of your business. Mu Yi wanted to shake off her hand, but Tao Qirui let go of herself. She smiled and said, "It's none of the same as me." She took out her phone, operated it, and then looked up and smiled,

"I've sent it to you, I'll go first, goodbye. With that, she turned and walked away, without looking back. Mu Yi looked at her in a daze, he took out his mobile phone, two unread voices were displayed on the screen, for a moment, he felt a little flustered, but soon, he smiled to himself, this was just a small trick that Tao Qirui wanted to provoke the two of them, he didn't need to care.

But even with this persuasion, his brow furrowed tightly at the two unread voices.

After sending Lin Yansheng to the house and settling her to sleep, he sat on the chair next to the bed, staring blankly at his mobile phone, but he didn't have the courage to listen to those two voices.

It was getting dark outside, and he sat motionless in his chair for an hour, and finally, when the phone reminded him that the battery was too low, he pressed his thumb on the two voices and played the content inside.

He stared blankly at Lin Yansheng, who was lying on the bed and was asleep, his face seemed to become a little pale, but in the dark, he couldn't see clearly.

After a long while, he stood up, walked out softly with his feet raised, and closed the door.
