C24 I Won a Bet

"You can tell, right? That face is very important to me. Lin Jia, I need you to help me. Good boy, help me. "

He pressed his head down and leaned close to her ear. His breath was filled with the strong smell of alcohol, and even his voice seemed to have changed a little.

Those wines were drunk and anxious, and finally had some effect in the cold night wind.

Su Huai was drunk.

He propped up his last bit of consciousness and stood there, virtually forcing her to give an answer in a rude and unreasonable manner.

Lin Jia started to slightly regret teasing him in a joking manner earlier, and she'd long since noticed that Su Huai was already extremely drunk. She maintained her silence and thought of sending him to the taxi first, and no matter how important the matter was, she would leave it to tomorrow.

"If there's anything, we'll find some time to chat after you've cleared your mind tomorrow. It's very late now, so we'll go back first. We still have to go to work tomorrow. "

He really wanted to leave her here and leave, but he just couldn't.

This kind of department building would make the manager who had just been welcomed drunk and throw him on the street. If something happened, he really wouldn't be able to maintain his reputation.

It was just that in Su Huai's muddled mind, there seemed to only be one stubborn thought remaining. That was an obsession that he couldn't let go of. Even if he was trapped by alcohol, it only caused his stubbornness to deepen a little.

"Promise me first, promise me first. . . "

He muttered like a little child. In the end, other than a few begging words, he did not say anything else.

He was tightly hugged by a real man. His face was burning hot as he rubbed against the depths of her neck. That kind of feeling was both uncomfortable and awkward. She tried to push him away several times, but her strength couldn't resist it. Instead, it made the two of them get closer. From afar, it looked like they were tightly hugging each other.

Lin Jia quickly gave up on trying to reason with the drunk.

"I promise you. " She patted his shoulder, "Can you let me go now?"

"Yes. " Su Huai finally understood her words. After a long while, he slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "Thank you. "

His body swayed, but he still swiftly retreated and did not shamelessly stick to her body.

"Can you still hold on?" Lin Jia was a little worried.

"Mhm. " Su Huai replied with his eyes tightly shut.

"I'll support you. " Lin Jia helplessly grabbed his arm and tried her best to help him maintain his balance.

Su Huai practically instructed and did not forget to thank her every time.

On the way back from the carriage, he'd pressed his head against the window and remained motionless. He seemed to have fallen asleep. He looked a little lonely.

Lin Jia realized that she was a little stunned. She was even more confused as to why she had such a strange thought. She shook her head and shook all the strange thoughts in her mind to the side. At the same time, she reminded the driver to drive the car more smoothly.

Once the car arrived, Su Huai once again displayed his powerful self-restraint and woke up as soon as he shouted. He didn't need anyone to support him as he swiftly got out of the car. His expression was slightly cold as he quickly sped up and arrived at the building he lived in in in the blink of an eye.

There wasn't the slightest difference when he took the elevator.

The elevator stopped and returned to their respective homes.

Lin Jia asked, "Are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm fine. Good night. " Su Huai answered with a straight face.

He walked straight to the door of his house, fished out his key, opened the door, and changed his slippers.

Before he closed the door to his house, Lin Jia heard a loud sound, as if something had smashed onto the ground.

"Oh no. "

She hurriedly ran over and saw Su Huai lying face down on the floor, breathing deeply. He had already fallen asleep.

That was why he had actually been drunk all along. He only forced himself to hold on until he was familiar with a relaxed environment before he was willing to collapse?

Lin Jia shook her head. She was also impressed in her heart.

This was the first time that she had entered someone else's home without being invited. This was also the first time that she had come to a man's home alone. The room was not large. It had one room and one living room. The decoration was simple. He could see everything clearly at a glance.

There were a few books on the table. There was a plastic bag on the coffee table. There was a bowl of noodles, beer, ham sausage, and other fast food inside. It should have been bought not long ago. It was casually placed there before it could tidy up.

There were not many personal items.

It was also because the room was very clean and tidy.

Su Huai was truly a fellow that caused one to be puzzled.

Lin Jia didn't allow her thoughts to linger in the surrounding environment for too long.

She tried to awaken Su Huai, but this time, no matter how hard she tried, Su Huai didn't have any reaction, and she tried to rely on her own strength to help Su Huai up. But she'd underestimated the weight of a drunk person's body when they lost control, and that was something she was unable to shake.

She busied herself for a long time before announcing that she'd given up.

Lin Jia wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Early in the morning, at 7: 45 PM.

As usual, Lin Jia left for the company on time.

She did not expect to see Su Huai's slightly nervous face the moment she opened the door.

Without waiting for her to speak, he welcomed her. "I have something to ask you. "

"I have to go to the company to work now. I have to hurry up and catch up to the morning peak. Otherwise, I will be late. " Lin Jia smiled. "Do we go together?"

"Okay. " Su Huai immediately agreed.

There were a lot of people sitting on the subway, but most of them had headphones stuffed into their ears or were looking down at their phones.

Lin Jia and Su Huai stood in a corner, only then did they have the time to chat about the topic that had been interrupted before.

"Did you promise to reconsider our cooperation last night?" Su Huai impatiently asked.

"Did I?" A mischievous glint flashed across Lin Jia's eyes.

"I remember I heard it. . . " However, he wasn't sure if it was an illusion created by the alcohol that he was looking forward to, or if it really existed.

When he woke up this morning, he found himself sleeping at the entrance of the door. His body was pressed against the sofa pad, and he was even covered with a blanket. He didn't catch a cold, but he couldn't remember who did all this.

The only thing that left a deep impression on him was Lin Jia's promise.

That matter was too important to him. As he thought about it, his mood was thrown into disorder. He had to quickly come in front of her and confirm it before he could feel at ease.

"We made a bet, I won" Lin Jia weighed the bag on her shoulder.

"I know that. " The brilliance in Su Huai's eyes instantly vanished by more than half.

He didn't know if it was because his body was uncomfortable, but his face seemed to be somewhat pale.

He was completely unable to speak the words he had thought of the entire morning.

He regretted not being able to calm himself down and coming in front of Lin Jia as soon as he woke up.

The scene became somewhat awkward. Su Huai's mind was blank, and he was filled with extreme anticipation and extreme disappointment. The curve of his mood rising and falling was too large, and he didn't know what kind of expression he should make to be suitable.

"Puchi. . . "

Lin Jia couldn't restrain herself any longer and started laughing.

With this laugh, her light red lips and neat white teeth. . . It was as if ice and snow had just melted, and all things had revived. It was indescribably brilliant and beautiful.
