That night, in a familiar small restaurant near the Ziguang Observatory, Cheng Xuedong, Liu Yan, Li Mengmeng, and Liu Xiaoguang sat around a small square table and began their dinner again. It's just that this is a separate gathering, because Cheng Xuedong is going to work in Qianxi tomorrow.

Although Li Mengmeng knew that Nan Binghuai was very busy, she still politely persuaded him, and was politely rebuffed.

Although Liu Yan was not as shy as she was at the first dinner, she rarely had a bright smile on her expression. It can be seen that she is still preoccupied.

As a result, the theme of this dinner became the interaction between Cheng Xuedong and Liu Xiaoguang. Their topic is naturally inseparable from the Tianyan Project. While drinking, they talked freely about what kind of technological revolution the Tianyan will bring to the country's astronomical cause in the future, and they were all excited about each other.

Li Mengmeng saw that the two of them were a little drunk, so she hurriedly stopped: "You two should stop in moderation, don't be too greedy." ”

Liu Xiaoguang disagreed: "Lao Cheng will leave tomorrow, shouldn't we have a little fun?" You know, because of work, we rarely do this. ”

Liu Yan, who has always rarely spoken, also spoke: "That's it, let them have fun once." ”

Li Mengmeng glanced at her: "Aren't you worried that Brother Cheng will delay tomorrow's trip?" ”

Liu Yan shook her head: "No." He told me that he would wait until tomorrow night to take the train, even if he was high, would he still not be able to wake up after a day and a night? ”

Cheng Xuedong's heart moved: "Yan'er is right, don't let Lao Liu drink with me alone, shouldn't you two give me a few glasses of wine?" ”

Li Mengmeng raised her eyebrows: "I want to pay tribute to Brother Cheng, but it's a pity that I don't know how to drink." ”

Liu Xiaoguang hurriedly accosted: "Mengmeng can't let her drink even if she can drink, she will have to drive home in a while." ”

Li Mengmeng smiled and raised a cup of tea on the corner of the table: "Do I use tea instead of wine?" ”

Cheng Xuedong glanced at Liu Yan again, and then said casually: "Meng Meng can replace wine with tea, but Liu Yan can drink some." ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but be stunned: "You let me toast you too?" ”

Cheng Xuedong smiled wryly: "Not only me, but also your Teacher Liu." How about we just have a few drinks together? ”

Liu Yan had a sad face: "But I... I don't know how to drink..."

Liu Xiaoguang suddenly became energetic: "Not knowing how to drink doesn't mean that you don't drink at all." I didn't know Yan'er could drink yet. Since you call me 'Teacher Liu', shouldn't you give me a glass of wine? ”

Liu Yanqiao blushed and said shyly: "Okay then." ”

Cheng Xuedong hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and poured it full of wine for her personally.

Liu Yan couldn't stop it, so she had to raise her eyelids and glance at him with disgust, with a helpless look between her eyebrows.

Liu Xiaoguang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and immediately raised his glass to Liu Yan: "Come, Yan'er, I respect you for this cup!" ”

Liu Yan picked up the wine glass in a panic and said shyly at him: "Teacher Liu doesn't... Or do I respect you..."

Liu Xiaoguang raised his neck without hesitation and drank it all, and then showed her the empty cup: "Yan'er, it's up to you." ”

Liu Yan usually has a little bit of alcohol, and when she went to Qianxi, she once accompanied Cheng Xuedong to drink wine once to drive away the dampness and cold there. However, letting her drink a glass of liquor in one gulp is indeed a bit embarrassing. But in front of everyone, in order not to be rude, she had no choice but to let go, put the wine glass between the two fragrant lips, and then slowly tilted the wall of the glass until it exceeded ninety degrees—a hot current poured from her throat to her stomach, and instantly crimson her cheeks.

Liu Yan closed her mouth to avoid choking on the wine, and controlled the violent coughing.

Liu Xiaoguang didn't expect this shy girl to really dry the glass of wine sincerely, first stunned, and then subconsciously glanced at Cheng Xuedong, seeing that his expression was not dissatisfied, then relaxed and smiled: "Miss Yan'er is really good at drinking, it's just a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows." Admire, admire! ”

Liu Yan was choked with alcohol and almost flowed out of her eyes, and she was simply ridiculous in the face of his praise, and she was speechless for a long time.

Li Mengmeng saw that something was wrong with her, first glared at her boyfriend, and then patted her on the shoulder: "Sister Yan'er, eat a few bites of food and press the wine." ”

Liu Yan hurriedly complied, picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and filled it into her mouth.

Cheng Xuedong hesitated, picked up the wine bottle again, and carefully poured the wine glass full of wine for Liu Yangang again.

As a result, this attracted Liu Yan's protesting eyes, as if she was condemning the other party - why do you want to get along with me?

Cheng Xuedong's heart sank, and he hurriedly smiled: "Yan'er, don't drink too quickly, take your time." ”

Liu Xiaoguang echoed on the other side: "Yes, let's drink slowly, and rest when we get drunk." ”

Li Mengmeng showed a confused look, feeling that tonight's party was not ordinary, and there seemed to be some mystery hidden.

Cheng Xuedong drank and drank, and a sense of melancholy suddenly rose in his heart, and in order to hide his gaffe, he smiled and said to everyone for leave: "I'm a little sweaty, I'm going to go to the bathroom to wipe my face." ”

Liu Xiaoguang was drunk, and when he looked closely, a little bead of sweat was oozing from his forehead, so he waved his hand: "You have to go and come back quickly." ”

Cheng Xuedong smiled and signaled to the other two girls: "Lose your company." ”

Liu Yan hesitated, waited for Cheng Xuedong to take a few steps, and then stood up: "I'm sorry, I was about to go to the bathroom, and I happened to have someone as a companion." ”

Liu Xiaoguang saw that she turned around to chase Cheng Xuedong, and couldn't help but smile: "This girl doesn't know how to pick a companion when she goes to the bathroom, so she should let you accompany her." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Mengmeng raised her eyebrows: "What the hell are you doing with Brother Cheng?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang was shocked, his eyes were also bright, and his tone pretended to be surprised: "Mengmeng, why don't I understand what you mean?" ”

Li Mengmeng snorted in her nostrils: "Don't pretend to be confused with me." I can already see that you and Brother Cheng are intent on getting Yan'er drunk. ”

Liu Xiaoguang looked very innocent: "Meng Meng, don't make an unjust case." I am full of respect for Yan'er, how could I do this? Just now, I just let it go because I was having fun. You see, I drank a lot more than she did. Besides, Lao Cheng wouldn't do this. Yan'er is his rightful girlfriend. ”

Li Mengmeng thought about it for a while, and she was speechless for a while, but she always felt that something was wrong in her heart.

Liu Xiaoguang took the opportunity to clip some food for her, and coaxed: "You just saw that we were drinking, and we didn't eat well, so while they are away, hurry up and eat while it's hot." ”

Li Mengmeng saw that he put the vegetables in the bowl, and immediately said cutely: "No, you have to feed me." ”

In order to divert her attention, Liu Xiaoguang happily picked up the dishes in the bowl again, and then slowly put them into her open little mouth...

Besides, as soon as Cheng Xuedong walked into the bathroom at the back of the hotel, Liu Yan followed.

Cheng Xuedong noticed that there was a Liu Yan behind him, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Why did you follow up?" ”

Liu Yan asked rhetorically: "This is a public restroom, and there is no distinction between men and women. If you can come in, can't I? ”

"But this bathroom can only accommodate one person."

Liu Yan smiled faintly: "Then you go out and wait for the meeting first." ”

Cheng Xuedong also smiled: "But I came in first." Do you know if you come first and come first? ”

Liu Yan raised her head: "Do you understand that ladies are preferred?" ”

Cheng Xuedong was stunned, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was no longer so shy when she faced him alone, but showed a coquettish and even commanding appearance, just like Shuzhen's pride in herself at the beginning. At this time, he was inexplicably moved in his heart, all these signs proved that she was becoming more and more 'fearless' about herself, for a girl, only the people closest to her would do this.

Cheng Xuedong was moved in his heart and hurried to quit the small bathroom.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan waited for his body to move, and immediately blocked him with his delicate body, and closed the door casually.

Cheng Xuedong was taken aback: "Yan'er... What are you doing? ”

Liu Yan said solemnly: "I have to talk to you now." ”

Cheng Xuedong was stunned: "Is it an important thing?" ”

"Of course it is."

"No matter how important it is, you can't block me in the toilet and talk, can you? Let's not talk about how much influence the two of us have in it together, and we can't help but let others go to the toilet? ”

"Don't worry, I'll just talk to you for a few words."

Cheng Xuedong looked helpless: "What is it that wants to block me here?" ”

Liu Yan explained: "Because it is not convenient to talk in front of Mengmeng and Teacher Liu. ”

"If you're not in a hurry, just wait until the dinner is over."

"When the banquet is over, I will have to leave with Mengmeng, and it will be even more inconvenient to talk to you."

"If you can't have a face-to-face interview, you can also use your mobile phone to talk, right? It's not like we're going to be huddled in the bathroom together, are we? ”

"I don't want to call you, but I want you to watch me answer a question!"

Cheng Xuedong shrugged his shoulders: "Then you can ask." ”

Liu Yan didn't want to delay time, so she made a one-handed attack on him: "Do you want to take me back to Jizhong?" ”

Cheng Xuedong's heart was shocked, and he hesitated for a moment before he said implicitly: "Isn't it good for you to stay in the studio, I have to think about you." ”

"I know it's good and it helps me a lot. I'd rather be with you, though. ”

Cheng Xuedong's eyes were wet: "But... The current conditions in the base are not yet suitable for life and work. ”

"I've been there once, of course I know the environment there, but it's because the conditions there are more difficult that I should be by your side."

"Why is that?"

"I have to take care of your life."

"I can take care of myself."

"The conditions there are so bad, in case you get sick, there is no service around."

"I don't need you to serve me. I had been surveying Qianxi for several months earlier, wasn't it good? ”

"But... Do I need you to take care of me? ”

"Yan'er, if you work here, it will be comfortable and safe, and your colleagues will take care of you."

"No, I just need you to take care of me."

"Yan'er, don't be willful, I'm too busy to work there, how can I have time to take care of you?"

"As long as you can let me see you every day, that's the best care for me."

Cheng Xuedong smiled helplessly: "Why are you so hard? ”

"Xuedong, do you agree or disagree?"

Cheng Xuedong's eyes shot a challenging look: "What if I don't agree?" ”

"Then you don't want to go out, we'll just spend it here, and we'll leave here when you agree."

Cheng Xuedong saw that she threatened herself in an unreasonable way, and immediately made concessions: "Okay, wait until I discuss it with Teacher Nan tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't fool me, I've heard that you don't bring other colleagues, it's up to you whether I stay or go with you."

Cheng Xuedong hurriedly smiled and explained: "Even if Teacher Nan listens to my opinion, I have to ask for his opinion?" Yan'er, I have to respect people. ”

Liu Yan rolled her eyes: "Okay, I just want the results, and when I come back to work tomorrow, I will bring all the personal belongings in Mengmeng's house." ”

Cheng Xuedongguan smiled: "Okay, but we can't occupy this place anymore." ”

Liu Yanyan smiled and raised her hand to open the bathroom door.

As a result, a middle-aged man was waiting outside the door, and when he saw a man and a woman coming out, his eyes widened in shock.

Neither of them dared to face others, and they both flashed under their noses.

Liu Yan thought that she had received a satisfactory answer, and her mood relaxed a lot, and when Liu Xiaoguang tried to let the wine go again, she actually took the initiative, and as a result, she drank a few glasses of wine with others in a row. In her opinion, she will definitely leave with Xuedong tomorrow, and in order to thank others for their care and guidance in the past few days, she should respect others with a few glasses of wine.

After the banquet was over, Liu Yan was already a little top-heavy, Cheng Xuedong personally helped her into Li Mengmeng's luxury car, and nervously told Li Mengmeng: "Yan'er is a little drunk, you have to drive slowly, go home and take good care of her." ”

Li Mengmeng has been holding a doubt in her heart, and Cheng Xuedong said lightly: "Please rest assured, Brother Cheng, I will definitely bring your Yan'er home safely." ”

Liu Xiaoguang also showed concern at this time: "Mengmeng should call as soon as possible to report her safety when she goes home." ”

"Well, I will."

Cheng Xuedong saw the luxury car go away, suddenly made a straight face, and complained to Liu Xiaoguang beside him: "You have already seen that Yan'er can't drink enough, why do you still drink with her?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly defended: "I have already reined in later, and she is willing to toast me to express her gratitude." Besides, didn't you mean to get me drunk her? ”

Cheng Xuedong sighed heavily: "Alas, but her body is uncomfortable and I am uncomfortable!" ”

Liu Xiaoguang didn't care: "She doesn't drink too much, and she is young, so she can only sleep a lot, and she won't feel much discomfort." ”

"Well, I don't want to see her feel the slightest bit uncomfortable."

Liu Xiaoguang was so angry that he pushed him hard: "Don't get it, sell it cheaply." What if you don't get her drunk and want to entangle you? Will you be able to make it out of the way? ”

Cheng Xuedong's eyelids blinked, and he actually squeezed out a few sad tears.
