A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Looking at the food laid out on the table.

Li Xixue's throat bobbed involuntarily.

People are gone.

It shouldn't be a problem if I take a bite myself, right?

The dish was still steaming hot.

The braised prawns were glossy and oily, the black pepper steak was cut into bite-sized pieces, and a small dish of garlic broccoli was served on the side.

It's all her favorite food...

Li Xixue swallowed hard, her body behaving itself, and walked over to pull out a chair and sat down.

Who cares? The food's already been made, it'd be a waste not to eat it.

It's better than throwing it away.

Yeah, I just wanted to avoid wasting it!

Li Xixue tried hard to convince herself, then couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, put a large shrimp in her mouth, and her brows immediately relaxed.

The shrimp meat is springy and chewy, and every bite is bursting with fresh flavor.

It tastes so much better than the takeout I used to order.

Before I'd even finished swallowing the first shrimp, I'd already picked up the second one.

The steak was even better, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Without realizing it, she had completely abandoned her ladylike image and started getting physical.

and many more……

It seems like something is missing.

Li Xixue wiped her hands and took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.

Good food paired with red wine.

That's perfect!

Instead of using a stemmed glass, I poured the water directly into my usual drinking glass, filling the entire glass.

Li Xixue returned to the table with her wine glass, eating and drinking as she went.

The alcohol took effect faster than she expected.

After all, I've been fasting for most of the day, and then I eat a lot.

Two unnatural blushes appeared on Li Xixue's cheeks.

His gaze started to wander.

My head is spinning.

She picked up her phone and opened her chat with Lu Yang.

My last message was about company matters.

Cold, impersonal business.

Her thumb swiped back and forth across the screen several times before finally typing four words:

"The food is alright..."

After typing it, I felt something was wrong and deleted it.

She typed again: "I ate the food."

Deleted again.

"What you did..."

delete.

"When are you coming back...?"

My finger hovered over the send button for three seconds.

Delete them all.

Li Xixue let out a long sigh, tossed her phone to the other side of the sofa, and took a swig of wine.

Li Xixue, wake up!

Who he chats with is none of your business.

We'll get a divorce once the cooling-off period is over!

She kept repeating it to herself, but alcohol has a downside: the more you drink, the more unreasonable you become.

She kept telling herself not to care, but her mind was filled with images from the car that morning.

"A friend."

"A woman."

Li Xixue took another big gulp of wine.

"What friend...you're kidding me..."

She muttered to herself.

The glass of wine was quickly emptied.

She poured another half-cup of water, albeit unsteadily.

She doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance; to put it nicely, she only drinks a little, but to put it bluntly, she gets drunk after just two drinks.

I drank so much today purely to challenge myself.

The living room was quiet.

The warm yellow light was very soft.

Li Xixue was slumped on the sofa, her hair half-loose, her collar loose, revealing a section of her collarbone.

She held a wine glass, her eyes half-open and half-closed, exuding an aura completely different from her usual self.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep...

Ding dong.

Doorbell rang.

Li Xixue suddenly opened her eyes, stared blankly at the direction of the entrance, thinking she had misheard.

Ding dong.

Another sound rang out.

"Who is it...?"

Li Xixue rubbed her temples and stood up, supporting herself on the sofa armrest.

I stumbled and almost lost my balance.

She walked unsteadily, shuffling all the way to the door, where she stood on tiptoe and peeked out through the peephole.

A familiar figure was standing outside.

Lu Yang.

Upon seeing this, Li Xixue subconsciously took a step back.

Didn't he leave?

Why are you back again?

She looked down at herself; her hair was a mess.

Looking back at the living room, it was a complete mess, with shrimp shells piled up like a mountain and all the food gone.

Her face instantly turned bright red.

It’s over.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang again.

"Open the door, it's me."

Lu Yang's voice came from outside the door.

Li Xixue bit her lip.

It's not open.

Don't open it!

Thinking of this, she quickly retreated to the living room, intending to tidy up the mess on the table.

result……

A sound came from an electronic lock button.

Click.

The door opened!

Standing in the entryway, the first thing Lu Yang saw was Li Xixue, whose appearance was somewhat unsightly.

When did he find out the door lock code?

Li Xixue was stunned.

Her hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, and her face was flushed.

Lu Yang changed into slippers and walked in, his gaze unconsciously glancing at the food on the table.

I knew it! It was a lie to say I wouldn't eat it.

This woman is so stubborn!

"How did you get in here!"

Li Xixue glared at him, her voice tinged with shame.

Lu Yang pointed to a note in the entryway: "Your mother wrote the password in the entryway, and I've memorized it."

at this time.

Li Xixue wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

I promised I wouldn't eat it, not even a single bite.

The results of it?

They ate everything clean.

What kind of CEO is this?

This is clearly a case of a philanderer caught red-handed.

Li Xixue opened her mouth, then tossed her hair aside; the alcohol had slowed her reaction by half a beat.

"I... I'm mainly afraid of wasting money."

"oh."

Lu Yang nodded

He said "oh" and then looked at her chest.

There was still a trace of red wine stain on her collar.

She was eating, fine, but she was also drinking alcohol?

You know, the last time I messed things up because of drinking.

Li Xixue clutched the wine glass and hid it behind her back: "I only had a little."

"a little?"

Lu Yang picked up the wine bottle next to him and looked at it.

Most of the bottle is gone.

You call this a little bit?

Then he looked at Li Xixue's flushed face.

"Why are you back?" Li Xixue's eyes were dreamy, like a little glutton who had stolen her master's food.

"Oh, I'm just going back to get something."

Lu Yang said directly.

That's what he said, but in reality he only sat in the corridor outside for a while.

He was thinking that if Li Xixue didn't fall for his trap, he would devise another plan.

It turns out.

The food was still very tempting.

I was tricked after all.

Li Xixue's lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

This guy was actually tricking me...

Perhaps it was the alcohol, but she tried to organize her thoughts, and the words that were on the tip of her tongue quickly slipped away from her mind, leaving her unable to grasp any of them.

As the alcohol took effect, she felt her head getting increasingly dizzy, and she even felt unsteady on her feet.

My legs went weak.

Lu Yang immediately reached out to help her up.

When his hand touched Li Xixue's arm, Li Xixue reflexively flinched, but her legs went weak and her body disobeyed her commands, instead leaning towards Lu Yang.

"He also said he drank a little."

Lu Yang supported her with one hand and took the glass from her hand with the other.

Li Xixue was forced to sit down on the sofa.

The warm yellow light fell on her face, and the flush from the alcohol spread from her cheekbones to the base of her neck, with a small patch of skin above her collarbone tinged with pink.

His eyes were watery, with 90% less aggression than usual, and something else indescribable about them.
