When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

"Gurgle gurgle~"

Four people sat around the hot pot at the dining table.

The table was covered with hot pot ingredients, including meat, meatballs, and vegetables—basically everything was there.

"The heat should be just right; you can put the meat in for a hot pot now."

Bai Yu estimated for a moment and then picked up the large colander.

"What kind of meat would you like to eat?"

"beef!"

Su Ningyu also relaxed and spoke happily.

"it is good."

I picked up some freshly sliced ​​beef with my chopsticks, and the slices of meat changed color as they tumbled in the boiling pot.

The meat gradually cooked, and after giving half to Su Ningyu, he looked at Luo Qingyan.

"Qingyan?"

"No, no! You eat first, I'll have some meatballs first."

Luo Qingyan waved her hand and poked at the meatballs in the bowl with her chopsticks.

She prefers these bouncy, chewy meatballs.

"All right."

After being declined, Bai Yu paused for a moment.

Then, he looked at Mu Anqi.

"Mu Anqi, do you want some?"

"what?"

Mu Anqi's body suddenly trembled, and her previously unfocused eyes immediately regained their light.

"I...I don't need it, you eat first."

"All right."

Su Ningyu was the happiest person during the entire dinner.

At home, there's no sense of constraint, and my mouth never stops moving.

After taking a big bite of meat, a sip of chilled flavored wine is truly delightful.

"Wow!"

She let out a satisfied sigh.

This was also her first time drinking alcohol, and she specially bought a bottle to try it out.

It's a bit bitter, and it makes me feel a little dizzy after drinking it.

It seems to be called something like... Slightly tipsy?

"Anqi, aren't you going to eat some meat? I've been watching you drink all this time."

Luo Qingyan had just finished scooping up two cuttlefish balls when she noticed Mu Anqi beside her.

"Ah...there's food, there's food."

Mu Anqi forced a laugh and pushed her bowl away.

Honestly, she looks much cleaner than before.

This change was clearly noticed by Bai Yu.

She was like this after Luo Qingyan and Su Ningyu came back from shopping.

It left me feeling really bad...

Because of myself?

"Give me a meatball, please."

Luo Qingyan took the initiative to scoop up a meatball and put it in her bowl.

"Thanks."

"Eat some meat, it's super delicious."

Su Ningyu was probably a little tipsy under the influence of alcohol.

He took the initiative to pick up the large strainer and simmer the meat.

"Thank you, class monitor."

"You drink so much, aren't you afraid of getting drunk?"

Bai Yu took a sip of lemon tea and couldn't help but speak.

"Oh dear, how could that be?"

Mu Anqi smiled and waved her hand, her face already flushed.

His speech became ethereal, clearly indicating that he was in the zone.

Hearing her words, Bai Yu silently glanced under the table.

Several empty bottles that had already been drunk from were already placed there.

This guy only drinks alcohol and doesn't eat meat!

......

After finishing the meal, Mu Anqi, as expected, got drunk.

At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, breathing softly.

One second he was awake, the next he was fast asleep.

If Bai Yu hadn't pulled him back in time, he would have hit his forehead on the table.

Su Ningyu was also a little dazed, sitting in the chair and occasionally giggling to herself.

"What...what should we do?"

Looking at the sleeping Mu Anqi, Luo Qingyan asked Bai Yu in a low voice.

"Send her back."

"Do you know where she lives?"

"Know."

"That......"

Luo Qingyan paused as she spoke.

She glanced at Bai Yu, then at the drunken Mu Anqi.

In the end, she volunteered herself.

"I'll give it a try."

She bent down, intending to lift her up.

Unfortunately, I really couldn't pull it; I didn't have the strength.

"I'll do it."

Bai Yu sighed.

"Um......"

Luo Qingyan had no choice but to give up her seat to him.

He reached out and lifted Mu Anqi up on his shoulders.

Because of the large height difference and the fact that they weren't wearing shoes.

The arm-in-arm pose is not acceptable.

So, I had no choice but to carry it on my back.

Come back soon.

Luo Qingyan spoke softly.

Everyone has selfish desires, which is normal.

She didn't want to see her boyfriend carrying another girl home.

What's more, she was his childhood sweetheart.

I was afraid that all the steps I took would result in the data being recovered with a single click.

But she could only trust Bai Yu.

"Okay, Qingyan."

"I have to go home soon, my parents will worry if I don't go back for too long."

Luo Qingyan spoke softly, then looked at the slightly tipsy Su Ningyu.

"I'm leaving Xiaoyu in your care."

"It's okay, Qingyan, I can do it."

Before Bai Yu could reply, Su Ningyu smiled.

She sat in the chair, her face slightly flushed, swaying unsteadily.

Okay, it looks like that's not going to work at all.

"Don't worry, I'll be back after I take her home."

"Okay! I'll wait for you to come back before I go home."

"it is good."

......

In the taxi, Bai Yu sat in the back seat.

Beside him was Mu Anqi, who had passed out drunk.

She leaned gently against his shoulder, breathing softly.

The breath they exhaled carried a strong smell of alcohol.

"cold......"

She uttered a single word softly, her eyes slightly closed.

"oh."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu pushed the head that was resting on his shoulder to the side.

After taking off that short-sleeved jacket, I put it on her.

Indeed, her outfit today is quite revealing, and she's showing her belly button.

It wouldn't be good if I caught a cold from the wind.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu started to speak while buttoning her coat.

"Hey sir, could you turn the air conditioning up a bit?"

"Okay!"

After doing all this, Mu Anqi gently leaned on her own shoulder again.

Bai Yu turned her head to look out the window, lost in thought.

As time went by, he vaguely heard someone calling his name.

"Bai Yu..."

"Um?"

"Is that you?"

The lovely face resting on her shoulder opened its eyes a crack.

"woke up?"

"very nice......"

Mu Anqi spoke softly, her words reeking of alcohol.

After she finished speaking, she leaned quietly on his shoulder and didn't say anything more.

The eyes that had just opened closed again.

Has she fallen asleep again?

Regardless of whether she was asleep or not, Bai Yu started talking to herself.

"Don't drink too much this time. There should be a limit."

"It's quite troublesome to drink like this."

"Um......"

We've arrived.

The driver stopped the car and spoke.

"Thank you, Master."

After getting off the bus, Bai Yu still carried Mu Anqi on his back.

Because I've been here before, I know where she lives now.

As I walked, I suddenly heard Mu Anqi's soft voice beside me, which smelled strongly of alcohol.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I come to eat hot pot or not..."

After she finished speaking, her voice became even weaker.

"I originally thought... you invited me alone..."

"I was so happy when I saw the news..."

"I'm so happy, so happy..."

"I dressed up carefully, and before I set off, I kept thinking about it..."

"I think and think and think..."

As she spoke, Mu Anqi suddenly laughed and exhaled some breath reeking of alcohol.

"What are you thinking about?"

Bai Yu asked, her mind filled with complicated feelings.

"Our future..."
