Wen Zhining went to bed early that night.

Feeling the presence of a heater beside her, she frowned uncomfortably, trying to move away.

But the heater seemed to move and kept following us.

As she was being moved, she was suddenly pulled over, her hand fell off the bed, and she was pulled back and put under the covers.

In a faint voice, Wen Zhining thought she could hear the sound of a kettle boiling.

Frustrated, she slapped it, stopping the commotion, and then fell asleep contentedly.

I woke up at noon the next day.

The party will be held at 7 p.m.

Before the appointed time, her friend drove over to pick her up, so Wen Zhining didn't make things difficult for Shi Yuxue.

The gathering took place at a bar owned by a friend in the industry. It was the same bar where everyone got together when Wen Zhining returned to China, and Xu Duzhi said that his return was none of his business.

The place wasn't cleared out; they reserved a private room, and everyone arrived there early.

There was some traffic on the way, and by the time they arrived, the three of them were already late.

When they saw Wen Zhining arrive, everyone stood up and stared intently at her.

A hint of amazement flashed in each of their eyes.

I thought it was beautiful when I first saw it, and I never expected that it would still be so beautiful and dazzling after all these years.

"Come, come, Ningning, have a seat."

Everyone gave her the middle seat.

After Wen Zhining sat down, Xu Duzhi also arrived.

Upon seeing two men sitting next to Wen Zhining, he grabbed the man on her right and moved him aside, giving the man on her left a warning look as he sat down.

"..."

The other person was silent for a moment, then switched seats with a girl.

When Wen Zhining saw him, the smile on her face vanished instantly. She slightly rose from her seat, seemingly wanting to change seats.

The man beside her narrowed his eyes when he saw her do this, and grabbed the chain of the bag she was carrying.

His fingertips were curled together, his head was lowered and wisps of hair fell across his forehead, obscuring his expression. His thin lips trembled and a slight tremor came from his throat.

"Don't go..."

Everyone in the private room was chatting happily, and no one noticed what the two of them were doing.

"I have no relationship with Shi Yuxue. I didn't agree to the arranged marriage. It was my mother who wanted me to marry her."

"It's just wishful thinking on their part." His fingers were clenched so tightly they turned white, but he still held onto the chain of her bag.

"Ningning, you're late, so you'll have to drink a penalty shot." Someone said, handing her a glass of wine that had already been poured.

Wen Zhining sat back down without moving.

Xu Duzhi took the wine glass and drank it all without saying a word.

"Old Xu, what's going on...?"

His friends all wore meaningful smiles.

"Are you helping Ningning drink?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere with her?"

"She was just recovering from a car accident and was hospitalized, and you still let her drink alcohol? Are you guys crazy or am I crazy?" he retorted with a smirk.

His friends were all taken aback by his serious expression and cold tone.

"We forgot for a moment, how are you feeling today?"

"Old Xu is in a bad mood today."

The man who had just been telling her not to leave now wore a cold and aloof expression, and continued drinking.

He wasn't the main character today, so no one paid much attention to him; they were playing games with Wen Zhining.

Everyone present was from a wealthy family, so naturally, playing games required spending money.

"I lost again." Wen Zhining sighed, somewhat regretfully.

The man leaning against the back of his chair next to her, holding a wine glass and looking somewhat drunk, clearly traced the shape of her face before slowly taking out his wallet from his pocket.

It's almost identical to the one I returned to Wen Zhining yesterday.

He placed the wallet in Wen Zhining's hand, his voice tinged with drunken weariness, "Play."

It's not like he can't afford to lose; he has plenty of money for her to gamble with.

"Zhizhi is so good to me, won't Driver Shi be jealous?" she asked, smiling as she stuffed her wallet back into his pocket.

"I have nothing to do with her!" he stubbornly insisted, then took out his wallet and stuffed it into her hand again.

Wen Zhining put her wallet aside and continued playing with her friends.

Xu Duzhi stared at her for a long time, until his eyes were dry and filled with tears, but he didn't blink even once.

The game resulted in a fine and drinking. Wen Zhining wouldn't let Xu Duzhi drink, and Xu Duzhi tried several times to take the drink himself, but after glancing at her expression, he withdrew his hand.

Finally, Wen Zhining couldn't drink or play anymore, so she left the game, went to the restroom, and was clearly unsteady on her feet.

As I went to wash my hands, a hot weight pressed down on me from behind.

"Baby~" Xu Duzhi's voice was sticky, he called her in a drunken, slurred way.

"Why did you take so long in the bathroom? I missed you so much~"

Wen Zhining was also a little drunk and wanted to wash her face with cold water to sober up. Her head was spinning and she didn't even have the strength to push away the man behind her.

Xu Duzhi bit her ear and said, "Baby smells so good, so fragrant."

He nuzzled his face against the back of her neck, calling her only, "Ningning, baby..."

"We haven't done this in so long, could we...?"

"It's not over yet." Wen Zhining still had a shred of rationality and patted the hands that were tightly wrapped around her waist.

"They're playing inside, you and I will have some alone time. Shall we go back?"

Wen Zhining refused, insisting on going back and resting for a while before continuing to play with them.

"I'm going to take back everything I just lost!" She clenched her fists, her face flushed.

The drunk cat is so cute!

Xu Duzhi turned her around to face him and kissed her face repeatedly.

"Okay, baby, I'll stay with you."

The man who was with her kissed her cheeks for a long time before slowly moving his lips to hers.

Just as she was about to land, Wen Zhining dodged.

"Don't take advantage of me."

It took Xu Duzhi a while to realize that the kiss was a bit funny.

"How can kissing my own girlfriend be considered taking advantage of her?"

"Really?" Wen Zhining tilted her head, blinked, and couldn't think straight.

He cupped her face and straightened it.

"Okay, be careful. The scar has just healed. I spent a long time applying medicine to it. You're so silly, you don't even know how to take care of yourself. Don't you know how much it hurts me?"

"Baby~ kiss~"

A friend happened to push open the door and saw Xu Duzhi holding Wen Zhining's face, pouting and asking for a kiss, acting coquettishly.

Just now, he was sitting on the sofa, holding a wine glass and acting all emo, ignoring everyone except Wen Zhining and not joking with anyone.

But it takes my friend back to three years ago, to Xu Duzhi when he was in love.

When he was with Wen Zhining, he was like this: he loved to cling to her, loved to act coquettishly with her, and was inseparable from her.

Did Xu Duzhi, now drunk, suddenly revert to the clingy, affectionate way he was when they were dating?

The friend was secretly amused, but outwardly indicated that he had disturbed them and gestured for them to continue.

Two drunkards.

I wonder what it will be like when I wake up the next day if we end up in bed together.
