56. Toast

Xia Zhi stared at the door panel, for fear that a monster with teeth and claws would walk down from the door and devour her in one gulp.

"Summer Solstice...... It's ...... me."

A voice came through the door. Then, she heard the sound of the door lock being inserted and the key twisted.

How is that possible? She must have been dreaming. Didn't she just see him in a dream? She must still be dreaming now.

The door was pushed open, and with the help of the voice-activated light on the corridor, Xia Zhi saw Pan Rui's figure. His face was shining, and she couldn't make out the expression on his face.

He walked in, closed the door, and the room was dark again.

She grabbed the knuckles of the quilt and trembled slightly, watching him walk towards her like a mountain pressing down on her.

Without hesitation, he hugged her and kissed her on the lips accurately.

She let go of the quilt and put her hands on his shoulders, touching his slightly wet coat, and she was free from his manic kiss: "It's raining?" ”

"Well, it's raining." He answered.

Is this a dream? Is this still a dream? Can dreams be so real?

She unzipped his coat and helped him undress. She had never tried to offer herself so voluntarily.

That corner of my heart was finally lit up. Without him, she is indeed doing well, but no matter how good she is, she still pretends to be dissatisfied. She unknowingly opened up that piece of land for him to keep for himself, and he was the only one who could cultivate it.

She lost, lost badly......

"How do you know I'm in Nanzhou?" She asked, touching his flat chest.

"I don't know. I just wanted to come to you, but I didn't dare to call you, I thought you were still in Kangzhou. He tightened his arms around her, talking about his absurdity.

"Then why are you here? Why are you knocking on the door, don't you have the key? If it weren't for the fact that his contact brought her such strong feelings, she might have thought it was a dream.

"I miss you, I miss you, I just came. I knocked on the door to pretend that you were really in the house, afraid that opening the door in the middle of the night would scare you, but I didn't know you were really there. I'm stupid, right? ”

"Yes, you've always been stupid. But I'm more stupid. Xia Solstice added.

"Let's reconcile, okay, let's never quarrel again, okay? I just want you, I don't want anyone. I didn't get in touch with the girl anymore, my mom introduced me to someone else, and I didn't go to see her. Really, I didn't lie to you. Pan Rui pleaded.

Xia Zhi dodged his question and asked, "When are you going to work?" ”

"The ninth day of the first month."

"Me too."

"Then I won't leave for a few days, okay?"

"Yes, but you always have to go." She had said that she hoped that the time they would meet again would be the time to solve the problem, but now the problem remains.

“…… Then, you can come home with me tomorrow. I went and told my parents that we were getting married. ”

Xia Solstice looked up at him and met his gaze, the night was dark, but his eyes were shining.

"Comrade Pan Rui, is this a marriage proposal?" She wondered if he said it on the spur of the moment or because it was deliberate.

"I can formally propose once. If you need it. He smiled unusually softly.

She looked at him for a long time, and her heart was mixed with cold and warm, and she wanted to agree. She wanted to marry him, she wanted to be his wife, she wanted to have their home.

But she said, "No." Our marriage doesn't solve the problem, it only makes it more complicated. ”

"How so? We are married, and no one can separate us. ”

"Distance will be, there will be no fixed place, and there will be no one to take care of the children in the future. Pan Rui, we not only have to love each other, we also have our own home. I don't want to get married, come back from work every day and still look at the four white walls alone, I don't want to be alone all the time, what's the point of getting married like this? ”

She said in one breath, and his eyes began to flicker as he looked at her, "We will have our own home." ”

"Then when we have our own home, we will get married."

Four days can go by quickly or very slowly. Xia Zhi took Pan Rui to participate in a book club and a travel friend activity, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were a loving couple.

For the remaining two days, they stayed in Bianxi for a walk. It wasn't until February 25, Sunday afternoon, that the summer solstice sent Pan Rui to the station again.

The next day was the first day of work after the New Year, everyone was very interested, Wang Boyi and Deng Yao booked a banquet hall in the State Banquet Restaurant, and the office staff had a New Year's dinner in the evening.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Xia Zhi threw away the heaviness in his heart, filled the wine glass in his hand with beer, and walked towards Wang Boyi with it.

"Mr. Wang......"

"Oh, good." Wang Boyi hurriedly stood up with a wine glass and listened to Xia Zhi with a smile.

"Thank you for your careful teaching for more than half a year, and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you also for giving me so many opportunities to exercise. I wish you good health and Oya prospering. I'll drink it first. ”

Xia Zhi raised her head and drained the wine in one gulp, and the amount of alcohol she practiced in college allowed her to sweep the invincible Chinese, but she had never drunk it like this at a company dinner.

In the eyes of her colleagues, she is an honest and hard-working girl, and the amount of alcohol she suddenly showed attracted a table of applause.

She turned the cup downwards to show that she had drunk it all: "Mr. Wang, you are free." ”

"Haha!" Wang Boyi laughed appreciatively twice, "Summer Solstice, you can't hide it!" But you have to remember that the opportunity is not given to you by me, you are fighting for it. No matter what happens, there are capable people living in it. ”

Wang Boyi took two sips of wine, and then raised the wine glass, saying that he could only drink so much, the summer solstice was not reluctant, and no one at the table dared to coax him to drink more.

Xia Zhi politely said a few words back to his table, and then filled a glass of wine and walked to Cheng You and Yuan Jiayi at the same table.

"Brother Cheng, Sister Jia, this cup is my tribute to you, thank you for taking care of you, I wish you a hundred years of good union and eternal marriage."

The two stood up together, Cheng You held a cup of tea and said, "Accept your words, I want to drive, so I can only replace wine with tea." ”

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay, just feel free." ”

She drank another glass.

Yuan Jia took a sip of wine and pulled Xia Zhi: "Xia Zhi, don't drink too much." ”

Xia Zhi's face flushed with a shallow flush: "It's okay, it's still early to drink too much." ”

Next, Xia Zhi toasted the three subordinates of the Propaganda Department with a glass, and raised the glass to each table for a round, and after eating a meal, she didn't eat much food, and drank four or five bottles of wine alone.

She walked a little floating, but her consciousness was still sober, and she waved her hand at Yuan Jiayi: "No, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Yuan Jiayi hugged her shoulder and didn't let go: "I know you're fine." We want to go for a ride, you enjoy a face and accompany us, and we will send you back by the way after the ride. ”

Xia Zhi rested his chin on Yuan Jia's shoulder and said, "You guys go for a ride, that's to fall in love, why do you bring a light bulb?" ”

Yuan Jiayi said: "It's not that the street lights are not bright enough!" Let's go, get in the car. ”

Cheng You drove the car to the alley where Xia Zhi lived, and Yuan Jiayi helped her upstairs.

Xia Zhi was bumped in the car, her head was now dizzy and swollen, and she pulled out of Yuan Jiayi's support: "I'm walking by myself!" It's all at the door. ”

"Yes, you didn't invite me in to sit down at the door." Yuan Jiayi still put his hand on her waist.

The door opened, and Yuan Jia sent Xia Zhi to the bedside before stopping: "Okay, you can sleep well." ”

"Sister Jia." Xia Zhi grabbed Yuan Jiayi and said, "You have to be together." You're all such nice people. ”

Maybe it was the influence of alcohol, Xia Zhi seemed to see sadness in Yuan Jiayi's eyes, and she said, "We will." ”
