After a while, Shi Qian sent him back to Yajiang Beiyuan.

The night was getting darker, and in the quiet community, only the faint lights flickered in the dimness.

Shi Qian carefully helped him upstairs, and when he reached the door, Jing Xiao let him go.

After a few seconds, he pressed the code and opened the door.

Tang Duyi, who was still chasing the drama in the living room, glanced at the door after hearing the movement.

The moment the door opened, a hint of surprise flashed in each other's eyes.

Tang Duyi smelled the smell of wine from afar, and subconsciously got up and walked over, "You went out to drink?" ”

"Hmm." Jing Xiao responded and staggered into the house.

She stepped forward to support him and asked, "I'll help you back to your room." ”

He didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

When Tang Duyi helped him to the door of the room, he let go of his hand and did not take another half step.

"According to the agreement, I won't enter your bedroom and study, so you can go to bed early."

Hearing this, Jing Xiao's figure was slightly paused, and the drunkenness seemed to have disappeared at this moment, the taste of alcohol still remained in his mouth, a trace of helplessness flashed in his scarlet eyes, and a hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat, "Tang Dui ......"

His voice was like a rusty knife, with an endless dullness and weariness.

"Mr. Jing, is there anything else?" Tang Duyi looked at his back and asked in a calm tone.

"It's okay, rest early." With that, he stepped into the room and slammed the door shut.

The heavy headache made his steps a little difficult, so he had to hold on to the wall and walk slowly to the bathroom.

Through the translucent glass door, he could see his own reflection in the mirror, his face full of tiredness, his skin pale and unpretentious, and his eyes full of deep confusion and doubt.

He turned on the shower, and the warm water washed over his body, taking away the smell of alcohol and sweat from his body.

The water slid through his body, washing away the chaos and unbearableness within him, and the heat wave hit him, like a pair of soft hands caressing his skin, bringing a touch of comfort and relaxation.

After Jing Xiao came out of the bathroom, he changed into clean clothes before walking out of the bedroom.

He had something to say to Tang Duyi.

But when he went out, he found that the living room was dark, and there was no sound in the empty room.

Tang Duyi had already returned to the bedroom, leaving only a faint wisp of spicy potato chips in the air.

Tang Duyi still heard some of the movement outside, but she felt that Jing Xiao should be thirsty and came out to pour water, so she ignored it, shrunk into the quilt and closed her eyes to rest.

Jing Xiao stood quietly at the door of the bedroom, looking at the room not far away that did not have any light coming through, everything seemed so empty and lonely.

After a few moments, he struggled to turn around, closed the door, and walked back to the bed, feeling his body heavier than ever.

He collapsed on the bed, closed his eyes, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and gradually, his breathing became steady, and his thoughts slowly sank into sleep.

The next morning.

When Jing Xiao woke up, the sunlight had already poured into the house through the window, and the winter sun was warm and soft.

His eyes regained their former coldness and firmness, and he got up and walked to the window, where the sun shone on his body and instantly pierced every pore of his skin.

A few minutes later, the sound of water running in the bathroom sounded softly, and the warm water slid over his skin, and a pleasant touch immediately filled his body.

When he walked out of the bathroom, he felt refreshed and refreshed.

Last night's drunkenness made him swear to himself that he would never let himself indulge in alcohol again.

Otherwise, those messy ideas will inevitably spring up again, and they will bring him different troubles.

After his mood calmed down, Jing Xiao's stomach began to rumble.

He walked out of the room with brisk steps, expecting someone's concern and greeting.

However, when he walked to the living room, he found that the house was empty, and there was no Tang Duyi at all.

He took out his phone and glanced at it, and there were two WeChat messages on it.

[Mr. Jing, I'm back at school. 】

[The final exam is coming, I'll be back later in the evening]

Looking at those two lines, his hand holding the phone tightened slightly, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

He actually forgot that this little thing was still studying, and he also forgot that the New Year's Day holiday had passed, and she was going back to school to prepare for the final exam.

However, since she was going back to school today, why did she go to bed so late last night?

Did she really sleep late? Still is...... Is she waiting for herself?

When this thought came out of his heart, Jing Xiao really wanted to slap himself and wake up his self-inflicted affection.

He shook his head, trying to get those out of his head, the little thing had already said last night, she just slept late, she wouldn't wait for herself.

At the same time, Haicheng University.

Because he didn't sleep well last night, Tang Duyi was in a very bad state today, and the whole person looked miserable, yawning several times in a row along the way.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep last night? Yu Yuxi stretched out her arm and bumped her, asking with concern.

"Hmm." She replied sullenly, reached out and rubbed her temples, and explained, "I was late to catch up on the drama last night." ”

"If you don't sleep at night like this, your body will collapse sooner or later." Looking at her tired look, Yu Yuxi couldn't help but remind, "It's really not good, you can go and prescribe some medicine to improve your sleep." ”

Hearing this, Tang Duyi glanced at her, grabbed her arm, and said lazily: "Let's talk about it after the winter vacation, I'm busy with the final exam now, and I don't have time." ”

It seems that since the death of her grandmother, her insomnia has become more serious, and during this time, she can't sleep all night long, and only in the morning can she sleep for two or three hours.

"You, don't hold on, you can tell me if you are unhappy in your heart."

Yu Yuxi persuaded two more words, but she just smiled and didn't say anything.

After class at noon, Tang Duyi received a call from Mrs. Jing, saying that she was coming to have lunch with her.

So, after she said something to Yu Yuxi, she trotted all the way to the school gate.

"Grandma, why are you here? It's such a cold day, it's frozen, right? Tang Duyi took her hand, rubbed it in her palm, and asked with concern.

"Ah Huan sent me here, and I didn't freeze." Mrs. Jing patted her soothingly, and then looked at her carefully, "Gardenia, why is your face so bad, did you not sleep well last night?" ”

"Grandma, I'm fine, I'll take you to dinner." As she spoke, Tang Duyi took her hand and walked to the side of the road with a smile.

"Gardenia, let's just have a bite to eat nearby." Mrs. Jing looked around and asked, "Which neighborhood do you like to eat the most?" Let's take grandma and try it too. ”

Hearing this, she raised her head and glanced ahead, pointed to a shop on the right, and recommended: "Grandma, the sauerkraut fish here is particularly delicious, and the tofu brain is also quite authentic, so we might as well go here." ”

"Okay." Mrs. Jing happily agreed.

The two of them then walked towards the shop.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled a fragrant smell of sauerkraut fish, and they immediately felt an appetite.

"Gardenia, tell grandma honestly, did you have ...... last night" As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Jing couldn't wait to ask.

Hearing this, the corners of Tang Duyi's mouth twitched, between them, nothing like that would happen, but last night, I really did something serious, that is, I signed an agreement and drew some boundaries.

"Grandma, I've been busy with my final exams lately, and I'm a little busy." She found a legitimate reason to prevaricate, and after speaking, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, hiding the weakness in her heart.

No matter what Mrs. Jing said, she was also a person who had come over, and she also knew in her heart that this kind of thing was in a hurry, after all, her grandson was thirty years old, and he had never even had a girlfriend, and this kind of thing must still be learned.

They had a very happy meal, and Mrs. Jing also told Tang Duyi a lot of things about Jing Xiao.

He said that he didn't eat supper because he felt it hurt his body.

Said he had to eat breakfast every day because it nourished his stomach.

He also said that he never eats snacks and thinks those are unhealthy.

After listening to what Mrs. Jing said, Tang Duyi understood why he had such a big reaction after seeing the pile of snacks at home that day.

However, didn't he finally agree to eat snacks on his own?

Is this a concession he made? Or did he not reveal his true self to his family?

Because Tang Duyi still had classes in the afternoon, after lunch, Mrs. Jing left, and she also went back to school.

Zhou Chengxi drove his father's assistant's car to pick her up, after all, his cars could blow up the street at random.

After getting in the car, he saw that his grandmother was very happy, so he couldn't help but gossip, "Grandma, you like this little sister-in-law very much?" I came to eat with her at noon today. ”

"What little sister-in-law, little sister-in-law, it's really rude." Old Madam Jing reprimanded him with a straight face.

Zhou Chengyan pursed his lips and said unconvinced: "She is already a few years younger than me." ”

He is twenty-seven, Tang Duyi is twenty-one, what is not a sister-in-law?

"She's not very old, but she's your brother's wife, so you can't be so rude." Mrs. Jing reminded him solemnly, and added after speaking, "By the way, you will have someone buy the restaurant just now." ”

"What?" Zhou Chengyan's eyes widened, looked at her in astonishment, and persuaded, "Grandma, that kind of restaurant doesn't make money." ”

"It doesn't matter if you earn money or not, the main thing is that my granddaughter-in-law likes it."

Hearing this, he pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, "Grandma, you're too partial." ”

"You know what." Old Madam Jing snorted, and she couldn't help laughing again.

Zhou Chengyan pursed his mouth and shut up in a witty manner.

Now he knows that not only is his grandmother good to this little sister-in-law, but even his brother connived at his little sister-in-law, so as long as he hugs his little sister-in-law's thighs tightly, and with her support in the future, he will definitely be able to walk sideways at home.
