It never happened again after that.
However, I was able to rest quite well for the next two days.
Two days later, the nightmare returned, and Xu Qingzhu was helpless against it.
She even went to see a psychiatrist, consulted the most professional psychiatrist, and also went to see her former psychologist, Dr. Gu.
What they said is pretty much true; she's been under a lot of stress lately.
It is indeed quite large.
The company needs new financing, needs to acquire small companies, needs to determine its future development direction, needs to cooperate with the Lu family, and needs to join forces with Haiwei. Although she has her uncles and others helping her, she still has to handle the big things herself.
For a long time before that, she was just a student.
She doesn't seem to have the ability to handle these things.
Even though Lu Jiayi contributed more in the collaboration, basically taking care of the most complicated parts for her.
Xu Qingzhu admires this kind of partner, but for some reason, in her interactions with Lu Jiayi, she always feels that she should like Lu Jiayi.
She was very confused about her feelings.
You should know that she had never felt this way before.
Later she remembered that Liang Shi had said that she should have someone she liked more.
That person should be Lu Jiayi.
Things that should be readily apparent in her life now take her a long time to process.
Sometimes they can't even react at all.
Because of insomnia, Xu Qingzhu also felt that her body was becoming increasingly cumbersome.
After lunch that day, because the elevator was crowded, she tried to walk up the stairs, but she was out of breath after climbing two floors, so she ended up taking the elevator instead.
Xu Qingzhu felt that her life was bleak and unlike what she used to live.
However, she has now developed a habit of writing in her diary every night.
The diary was monotonous and boring, containing only two sentences that were frequently repeated:
Remember to tell Liang Shi "I love you" today too.
Silly sister, I love you so much.
Xu Qingzhu didn't wait for Liang Shi, so she greedily took a sip of the drink. She thought it tasted good, so she took one sip after another until she finished the whole cup.
The moment the doorbell rang, she immediately got up and practically ran to the entrance.
He bumped right into Liang Shi as he entered.
Liang Shi hadn't expected it, but he still instinctively hugged her, afraid that she would bump her head, and placed his hand on her forehead to prevent her from hitting his shoulder.
Xu Qingzhu greedily inhaled the scent emanating from her, but could only detect the lingering smell of alcohol.
She frowned and asked, "How much did you drink?"
Liang Shi chuckled and flicked her nose. "You drank a bit too much at the wrap party."
"Can you still drink with me?" Xu Qingzhu asked. "I'm sober now."
"Yes," Liang Shi said. "My alcohol tolerance is really good now."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She took Liang Shi's hand and walked home, where the two sat side by side on the sofa.
No one spoke, skipping the usual small talk.
They were simply drinking, but Xu Qingzhu was nestled in Liang Shi's arms while she drank.
She sat on Liang Shi's lap, occasionally turning back to kiss her, leaving wine stains on her lips.
The living room lights are dim and warm, while downstairs the traffic is bustling. The lights of the entire city and the lights in the living room complement each other, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Then Xu Qingzhu sat on Liang Shi's lap and received a long and passionate kiss.
Xu Qingzhu was kissed until tears welled up in her eyes.
Liang Shi smiled and wiped away her tears, "Crybaby."
Xu Qingzhu pursed her lips and whispered in her ear, "Your kissing skills have improved."
Liang Shi's ears tingled, and then immediately felt like they were on fire.
Xu Qingzhu drank almost half of the bottle of wine.
Liang Shi only indulged her nonsense and sometimes even cooperated with her.
Xu Qingzhu even "accidentally" spilled wine on her collarbone, then drank it all, claiming that he couldn't waste it.
Liang Shi casually slung his body over the sofa, tilting his neck up to avoid hurting her.
I bought a necklace to match my outfit, but I ended up taking it off and leaving it on the coffee table.
Xu Qingzhu also asked her, "You're not filming tomorrow, are you?"
Liang Shi nodded.
Xu Qingzhu then bit her collarbone, leaving a mark.
Her teeth were sharp, and Liang Shi gasped as she bit her. He could only grip the sofa and didn't dare to move.
Xu Qingzhu's actions can be considered bullying.
Helpless, Liang Shi pinched her waist, only to find that her pajamas were loose underneath, and her waist was smaller than before.
For a moment, I didn't know how I felt.
Suddenly, I couldn't bear to pinch her anymore. I just rubbed a small patch of skin on her waist until it turned red.
Xu Qingzhu patted her hand, "What?"
Liang Shi said, "You're bullying me."
Xu Qingzhu's eyes darted around, and she said provocatively, "Then come and bully me too."
Liang Shi said helplessly, "You're just taking advantage of the fact that I can't bear to part with it."
"Then I wouldn't bear to bully you." Xu Qingzhu whispered in her ear, "Sister~"
Her tone was melodious and lingering, making one's heart tremble.
Xu Qingzhu's warm breath tickled her ears.
Xu Qingzhu said, "Bullying in bed isn't bullying."
Liang Shi's face was like a fiery red cloud on the horizon, instantly covering the entire sky.
She raised her hand and slapped Xu Qingzhu's bottom, "You're always so unruly."
"Who did you learn all this from?" Liang Shi asked her through gritted teeth.
Xu Qingzhu was a little drunk. She leaned lazily on Liang Shi's shoulder and said, almost word by word, "No teacher, self-taught."
Xu Qingzhu said, "Because I love you so much, I want to give you the best of everything."
Xu Qingzhu hugged her neck, staring at her with reddened eyes, looking like a pitiful little rabbit.
“If you don’t take the initiative, I’ll learn everything,” Xu Qingzhu said. “Just follow my pace. I’ll teach you…”
After drinking too much, Xu Qingzhu was shameless, but she also knew that some things should not be said too loudly, so she whispered in Liang Shi's ear, "How can you eat me clean?"
Liang Shi's hand slipped, and she almost fell.
Fortunately, Xu Qingzhu held on tightly.
This made Xu Qingzhu giggle and laugh incessantly while burying herself in her arms.
Helpless, Liang Shi raised her hand and patted Xu Qingzhu lightly on the back, "Stop learning those improper things, I can learn them myself."
"Who did you learn from?" Xu Qingzhu asked.
Liang Shi: "..."
"About things in bed," Xu Qingzhu nuzzled against her like a cat, "it's better to learn from me, of course."
Liang Shi: "..."
Don't drink alcohol anymore!
real!
//
Liang Shi was at a loss for words after being teased by her, but he only wanted to chat with her, not to make a scene or act ridiculously.
Fortunately, Xu Qingzhu started to feel sleepy after drinking, and insisted that Liang Shi carry her back to her room so she could snuggle in his arms and sleep.
After Liang Shi waited until she fell asleep, he got up to make some honey water. He drank a glass himself first, and then placed another glass by the bedside in case she had a headache from a hangover.
After finishing all that, she quickly washed up and then tiptoed to lie down and sleep next to Xu Qingzhu.
The room fell silent, and even the moonlight was hidden behind the clouds, leaving only a hazy glow.
Xu Qingzhu frowned, a thin layer of sweat beading on her forehead.
It was like sinking into a deep sea, with everything in front of her filled with blood, and people constantly pulling her down.
She could clearly float up, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not help but sink.
Moments later, the scene changed. She was thrown into a maze, and the fog in front of her was stained with blood, as if it could arouse the most terrible desires in people's hearts.
Xu Qingzhu tried to run away in fear, but someone pulled her back by her feet, followed by the sound of a knife slicing through her skin.
Sizzle—
It sounded exactly like the sound of a knife slicing through expensive silk fabric.
But the pain was real; it felt as if her skin and flesh had split open in an instant.
Xu Qingzhu turned around in surprise, only to see Liang Shi's face. She opened her mouth to call Liang Shi's name, but it was as if something had covered her mouth, and she couldn't make a sound.
She could only watch in terror as the other person walked towards her, then raised the knife in her hand, the sharp blade reflecting a blinding light.
In an instant, the knife pierced her lower abdomen, causing her to burst into tears from the pain.
