Perhaps because he had taken a nap on the way, Liang Shi was a little sober and was able to follow Xu Qingzhu into the elevator.
He was still feeling drowsy and weak.
The living room was filled with all sorts of new furniture, making it hard to even find a place to stand.
Liang Shi stood in the entryway, stunned for a few seconds, then frowned and asked Xu Qingzhu, "Why did it turn out like this?"
"You bought it." Xu Qingzhu hung her wet coat in the entryway. "You're asking me?"
Liang Shi: "..."
"I bought it?" Liang Shi was stunned, then after thinking carefully, he said in a low voice, "It seems like I bought it."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
All she wanted right now was for the drunkard to go to sleep.
The living room was dimly lit. Liang Shi took off his shoes and bent down to arrange them neatly before going to take off Xu Qingzhu's high heels.
Xu Qingzhu looked at her in surprise, "What are you doing?"
“Put the shoes out,” Liang Shi said.
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
"I don't need it." Xu Qingzhu pushed her shoulder lightly, but Liang Shi sat down on the mat and looked up at Xu Qingzhu.
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
Xu Qingzhu had mixed feelings, but she still reached out her hand to help her up.
Liang Shi shook his head and firmly stated, "I want to arrange the shoes."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She couldn't resist the drunkard and could only stand there quietly, letting him do as he pleased.
Even though he had just come back from outside, the chilly wind couldn't make Liang Shi's hands cold.
A warm hand landed on Xu Qingzhu's ankle, then gently lifted her leg, while the other hand took off her high heels.
Xu Qingzhu's insteps are very beautiful, and they even glow white in the dim light.
Liang Shi suddenly bent down and kissed the instep of her foot.
Xu Qingzhu stood in the entryway, leaning against the wall cabinet. The marble countertop made her palms feel cold, but it also brought her back to some of her senses.
But she was suddenly taken aback by Liang Shi's unexpected kiss.
The warm touch sent a shiver down Xu Qingzhu's spine, making her feel weak and almost collapse.
Xu Qingzhu bit her lower lip, gripped the wall cabinet tightly with her hands, and dared not move her feet for fear of hurting Liang Shi.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qingzhu asked coldly.
Liang Shi looked up at her, his eyes smiling, his voice a seductive huskiness, "Wife~"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
"You're drunk." Xu Qingzhu spoke in a flustered tone, avoiding Liang Shi's eyes. "Go to sleep."
Liang Shi lifted her other foot, took off her high heels, and unexpectedly kissed her fair instep in the same manner.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qingzhu asked.
In that instant, her tailbone went numb, and all the weight of her body was leaning against the wall cabinet.
"We can't favor one over the other." Liang Shi lowered his head to wipe away the marks on her instep, gently stroking it, his voice carrying a faint smile, "We must treat everyone equally."
"..."
So this is how "favoring one over another" and "treating everyone equally" are used!
Xu Qingzhu leaned against the wall cabinet and kicked Liang Shi with her foot, "Get up, go back to sleep."
"And what about you?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu: "I'm going to sleep too."
Liang Shi: "Aren't we going together?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
//
Xu Qingzhu stood in the kitchen making honey water for Liang Shi, stirring the water with a stirring stick until the clear water changed color.
The sensation from earlier kept replaying in her mind, making her unsure which foot to step with first when walking.
Xu Qingzhu leaned against the cold wall, forcing herself to regain her composure.
Things are finally a bit better.
She brought Liang Shi some honey water and forcibly pulled him out of bed to make him drink the whole cup.
Then I went to the kitchen to wash the cups and stood by the window to let in some fresh air.
I feel like she's about to explode tonight.
That blow had been so impactful that she seemed powerless to resist if Liang Shi continued.
Perhaps it's her sensitive spot?
The moment Liang Shi looked up at her and smiled after the kiss felt like a bullet to her heart.
A single, decisive blow.
Her legs felt weak and sore, as if she had just experienced a crazy ordeal.
But in reality, it was just a kiss.
A kiss that is often seen in TV drama clips.
But when it actually happened, Xu Qingzhu was almost overwhelmed.
In that instant, she had the urge to kiss Liang Shi.
But she still managed to hold on.
It's not very ethical to kiss someone while they're drunk.
The wind ruffled Xu Qingzhu's hair. The night view here is much better than that of Repulse Bay. Just looking at the ever-flowing water ripples illuminated by lights and the endless stream of vehicles on the road is enough to keep you standing here all night.
Xu Qingzhu's head hit the glass, and the cold glass gave her forehead a moment of coolness.
This is a way to cool down my mind, which is full of random thoughts.
Just as her head gently bumped against the glass, a hand landed on it, and her forehead fell right into that warm hand.
Xu Qingzhu was taken aback. When she turned around, Liang Shi was standing behind her.
She was already standing languidly, her whole body leaning to one side, and when she turned around, her head unexpectedly buried in Liang Shi's chest.
...It's quite soft.
Xu Qingzhu's first touch made her hesitate for a moment, while Liang Shi asked gently, "Is it comfortable?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She left immediately, her movements so abrupt that she almost bumped into the window again.
Liang Shi pulled her back again.
...
Xu Qingzhu was completely trapped in Liang Shi's arms. Her height was extremely imposing in this newly moved house. Xu Qingzhu tilted her head slightly, and her lips brushed against Liang Shi's chin.
Liang Shi also lowered his head.
Their eyes met.
Xu Qingzhu gently licked her lips, her pink lips shimmering. Liang Shi slowly leaned down, but as he placed the kiss, he placed his hand between them.
Xu Qingzhu kissed the back of her hand, while her lips landed on her own palm.
With his free hand, Liang Shi tucked Xu Qingzhu's stray hair behind her ear, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, "Can I hug you?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She felt her ears burning, but nodded gently.
Liang Shi bent down, wrapped his arms around Xu Qingzhu's waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
Xu Qingzhu's arm also rested on Liang Shi's slender waist.
Looking at the night view outside, Liang Shi lowered his voice, still tinged with drunkenness, and asked, "Teacher Xu, shall we go see the sea?"
Xu Qingzhu: "Hmm?"
Liang Shi smiled and said, "I want to see the sea."
Xu Qingzhu: "When?"
Liang Shi: "Right now."
//
Liang Shi's voice was so pleasant that Xu Qingzhu simply followed her decision without considering that going to see the sea late at night was a very foolish decision.
After drinking a cup of honey water, Liang Shi, who was no longer so drunk, suggested going to see the sea and then took Xu Qingzhu away from home.
Xu Qingzhu drove to the seaside on the outskirts of the city, and Liang Shi sat in the car, nodding and swaying to the music.
Haizhou City is located by the sea and has a long coastline. It becomes a popular tourist destination in late spring and early summer, so it's not difficult to see the sea at night.
It's just a little...stupid.
When the car stopped by the roadside, and as soon as you got out, you heard the sound of waves and felt the salty smell of the sea in the air. The wind was so cold that it would seep into your clothes and invade your body if you weren't careful, making you shiver. Xu Qingzhu felt like she might be an idiot or a madwoman.
He was a madman who accompanied Liang Shilai in his madness.
Liang Shi didn't feel cold at all. She even took off her black wool coat and wore only a light blue shirt. Her long hair was blown wildly by the wind. She ran to the beach, took off her shoes, and stood on the sea, facing the ocean.
The once bustling beach was now deserted, and the bright searchlights in the distance cast Liang Shi's shadow on the sand.
Xu Qingzhu looked at her and felt that she was very lonely.
She stood there, seemingly out of place in the world.
