Jiang Huaining didn't notice Hu Shengdong's eyes, he couldn't see anything else in his eyes now except Lu Zhu.

Tonight's dinner was to wash the dust for Hu Shengdong and him, and the two were poured a lot of wine, although Jiang Huaining said that he came by car, he was not spared.

The stamina of the wine came up, Jiang Huaining's face was dyed red, and Lu Zhu saw him drink so much wine for the first time, and he thought it was very funny, so he didn't stop it.

Hu Shengdong was also poured a lot of wine, and his face was redder than Jiang Huaining, like a monkey's buttocks.

He held the wine bottle, his face against the bottle to cool down, under the starry sky of the summer night, in the hazy light, his eyes looked at Xie Ning sitting opposite him stupidly.

Xie Ning was talking to Lu Zhu, with a little smile on her lips, she didn't drink alcohol tonight, like Lu Zhu, she only drank coconut water and yogurt, but her eyes were so intoxicating, like wine shaking in a cup.

Hu Shengdong suddenly smirked, the dinner table fell silent, and Xie Ning also looked at him: "Is this going crazy with alcohol?"

The last time she got drunk and made a big fool, she rarely drank since then, and even if she did, she wouldn't let herself get drunk. She is not the protagonist of tonight's dinner, she can avoid it, and she didn't get drunk.

Hu Shengdong stood up, as if he had been beaten, his body staggered and unstable.

Several boys looked at him with interest, and Lu Yu also took his mobile phone to record a video, praying that it would be best to shoot something shocking and make fun of him when he sobered up.

"Dongzi, what are you doing here?" Lu Yu instigated, "Want to give a speech? Come on, buddy, I'll give you a light."

He turned on the lighting function, and the image in the video was brighter.

Hu Shengdong hiccuped and called Xie Ning's name.

Everyone showed expressions of watching the play.

Xie Ning looked awkward, and replied dryly, "What are you doing?"

Hu Shengdong walked out from between the tables and chairs, came to her and stood still, he looked at her condescendingly, his expression was so humble: "Before going abroad, I asked you what kind of boy you like, do you remember?"

"Yes."

She was talking about sunny, handsome, strong and autonomous boys. She still loves the genre.

Hu Shengdong pointed to his nose, and Lao Wang sold melons like a salesman: "I...... I'm pretty sunny and handsome, right? As for...... Strong and autonomous, I will become strong one day, you wait and see. Do you want to ...... Think about me?"

He finally spoke up.

Alcohol wasn't all harmful, at least it gave him the courage he couldn't have when he was sober.

Xie Ning opened her mouth and forgot to answer.

The people around were coaxing, not only Lu Yu and them, but also the guests at the next table, all looking at them.

"What do you think about?" Xie Ning woke up from her distraction, took a sip of the orange juice on the table, and said lightly, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Hu Shengdong said firmly: "I'm confessing to you."

Xie Ning was not satisfied: "I have never seen anyone confess that they have neither flowers nor gifts, and they are still drunk and speak with a big tongue."

It's too hasty.

Hu Shengdong drank a lot, but his brain could still rotate normally, understood what Xie Ning meant, clenched his fists in a daze, let go, clenched again, and released again...... Overwhelmed, like a stupid bear.

"Dude, lend you flowers."

A voice *** came, it was a young boy at the next table, after asking his girlfriend's consent, he took the flowers given to her and threw them to him, giving him an east wind.

Hu Shengdong held the flower in his arms, looked at the boy, then at Xie Ning, and handed it to her stupidly: "...... Flowers for you."

Xie Ning is not a person who compromises so easily: "I don't want other people's flowers."

Hu Shengdong's first confession in his life ended in failure, which was unexpected by everyone, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be expected.

The dinner party ended late, and a hot wind blew up, and the summer sun enveloped them in an instant.

When he went back to change Lu Zhu's driving, Jiang Huaining was so drunk that he couldn't get his head up, and sat in the passenger seat to relax. Lu Zhu leaned over and buckled him to safety

Tape, palm against his hot forehead, laughed, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Huaining grabbed her hand, turned it over, put the back of his hand on his face, and said in a sticky voice: "...... It's fine."

Lu Zhu heard that drunk people like to say that they are not drunk, so she asked him, "Are you drunk?"

Jiang Huaining shook his head: "I'm not drunk."

Lu Zhu laughed even louder: "Let go of my hand, I want to drive."

Jiang Huaining looked at her, a little worried: "Will you drive?"

"Yes, I got my driver's license, didn't I send you a picture?"

"I remember." Jiang Huaining pulled out this incident from his vague memory, "Kesan hung up twice, and was scolded by the coach."

Lu Zhu rubbed his head and laughed angrily: "Can you not mention this."

She pulled out her hand, put on the steering wheel, and mentally reviewed the basic steps of starting the car. To be honest, she was nervous, and she didn't get a chance to drive after getting her license. This is the first time on the road, and there is a drunk person sitting in the co-pilot, and he can't even find anyone who asks for advice.

Jiang Huaining tilted her head, as if she could see through what she was thinking: "Don't force it, we can find a substitute driver."

Lu Zhu took a deep breath: "I can."

Jiang Huaining cheered up and gave her guidance step by step.

"You're really not drunk?" Lu Zhu's suspicious eyes fell on his face.

Jiang Huaining covered his face with his palm, and he knew that his face was very red now: "I said that I was not drunk."

"Then you just talked nonsense at the dinner table."

"If you don't talk nonsense, Lu Yu and Peng Yao will have to pour me wine."

Lu Zhu secretly slandered you for being quite smart and knowing acting.

She started the car slowly, drove out, and merged into the traffic that was still congested at night in Beicheng, becoming a beam of thousands of light belts.

——

Returning home safely, Lu Zhu turned on all the lights and lay on the sofa, exhausted to the point of collapse.

The process of driving was so tense that she couldn't even lift her fingers now.

Jiang Huaining sat on the floor by the sofa unkemptly, leaning on the edge of the sofa with one hand on his chin, and pinching the back of Lu Zhu's neck with the other: "Sleepy?"

"Hmm." Lu Zhu closed his eyes.

"Then go to bed early."

Lu Zhu hummed again in a daze, turned his head around, opened his eyes to look at him, touched his face, and then got up and went back to the room.

Before she could pack her suitcase, it was spread out on the floor in the middle of her bedroom.

Jiang Huaining followed up and saw her take a set of pajamas from the suitcase and accidentally brought out a pure white skirt.

"I haven't seen you wear this dress, did you buy it new?"

Lu Zhu took out the skirt that she threw back, stood up, put it in front of her and gestured, thinking of its origin, she said softly and with a smile: "I thought you were going to return to China more than a month late, and I just happened to be on summer vacation. When I was shopping with my roommate, I fell in love with this skirt and planned to wear it to pick up the airport, but you returned home early, and I haven't worn it yet."

She said and put the skirt back, and Jiang Huaining took it out again: "Put it on and I'll take a look."

"Now?"

"Well, I want to see it."

Lu Zhu put down her pajamas, took her skirt to the bathroom, changed into it, and looked at the red cheeks in the mirror as if she had drunk a lot of wine, and she suddenly felt ashamed.

Lu Zhu walked out of the bathroom barefoot in a skirt, Jiang Huaining held the remote control in his hand, adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, glanced at it inadvertently, and froze.

The white slip dress, with fish bones on the chest, outlines the body curves well, the skirt resembles a fishtail skirt, and the complexion of Lu Zhu is as smooth and fair as a pearl, and it is a mermaid who has just exchanged legs with a witch.

Jiang Huaining's breath was stagnant, the remote control was thrown on the sofa by him, and the cold air of the air conditioner was whirring, and he didn't feel cool when it blew on his face.

Lu Zhu's toes curled up on the wooden floor, and his voice was very low: "Isn't it beautiful?" It seems to be a little formal, and He Shiyan also said that it looks like an engagement to wear.

She thought it looked good and bought it.

Before Jiang Huaining could speak, his eyes suddenly fell into darkness, and the air conditioner made a "beep" sound and stopped running. The cool air indoors was quickly soaked by the temperature outside, and the skin felt the sticky and greasy enthusiasm of summer.

Lu Zhu froze in place: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Huaining's long legs stepped over the suitcase spread out in the middle, came to Lu Zhu's side, and held her thin wrist, telling her not to be frightened: "There may be no electricity bills."

The light on the mobile phone screen shrouded their faces, and Lu Zhu saw that he opened the payment interface, charged a hundred and went in, and a text message came in later, showing that the balance was zero.

Jiang Huaining was slightly surprised, the last time he paid the electricity bill was before he went abroad, he actually owed so much, no wonder there was a power outage.

He then recharged five hundred, and soon a text message came, and the balance was more than four hundred.

A layer of sweat broke out on Lu Zhu's neck: "Why haven't you called yet?"

"Wait a little longer." Jiang Huaining looked at her through the bright light of her mobile phone, and the sweat on her neck was shiny, like crystal shards scattered.

The lowered eyelashes fell on her face, and Jiang Huaining looked at the small shadow like a cicada's wings, fanning with her blinking eyes, and Jiang Huaining's heartbeat also beat violently.

He leaned over her lips.

The phone was not held steadily, the screen was shaking, and the light and shadow in the bedroom were flickering, taking them back to the summer of high school, when the old ceiling fan squeaked and turned, and the fan blades shook a blurry afterimage.
