Shen Rao behaved normally throughout the dinner, with smiling eyes and looking like he was in a good mood.

Qi Yan felt that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it.

It wasn't until bedtime that she realized something was wrong.

Qi Yan's gaze shifted from the report from the Municipal Bureau to Shen Rao, who lifted the quilt and snuggled into her arms as soon as he entered the bedroom. She said helplessly.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Rao lay on top of her, his arms around her neck, his head buried in her collarbone, spraying hot air, with a sticky tail sound with a hook.

"Baby, hug me~"

"..." Qi Yan frowned and put the tablet down, "Have you been drinking?"

She smelled a faint odor of alcohol.

Shen Rao raised his head, gently rested his angular chin against her, stretched out his index finger, made a number, and smiled foolishly.

"A little bit."

"How much is a little?"

Qi Yan asked.

Seeing his confused look, it doesn't seem like he has only one thing in mind.

"Hmm..." Shen Rao wanted to fool her, but when he saw her gloomy eyes, he answered honestly, "Just, half a glass of whiskey."

Qi Yan sighed, touched his head and asked softly.

"Why are you drinking? Are you unhappy?"

The slightly messy hair fell in front of Shen Rao's forehead, and his cold white skin was flushed with an unnatural red.

He said nothing, only staring at her with his dark eyes, his locked gaze carefully describing her facial features.

All the way to her slowly opening and closing lips, and her Adam's apple rolled.

Ever since Qi Yan was around, his alcohol tolerance had become worse. He used to drink whiskey as if it were water, but now his brain can hardly function after just half a glass.

He stretched out his hands, cupped her cheek with one hand, and touched her delicate eyebrows with the fingertips of the other hand, and replied in a hoarse voice.

"...Yeah, not happy."

"what happened?"

Qi Yan did not avoid his shackles and touches. Instead, she pressed her body against his burning palms and looked at him with lowered eyes.

There is complete trust in the subtle movements.

Shen Rao's hand paused, his eyes darkened, he withdrew his finger bones that were stroking her lips, raised his eyelids, touched the corner of his lips, and forced a wicked smile.

"Kiss me and I'll tell you."

"..."

Qi Yan felt that she couldn't pamper him anymore, so she picked up the tablet beside her and said lightly.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"..."

Shen Rao, who seemed naughty and ruffian, panicked when he didn't get her response. He pecked her lips hurriedly, licked and bit them.

Like a person who has been dry for a long time, he needs to be comforted by his lover immediately, and the hot and charming atmosphere heats up and boils.

He didn't let go until they were both out of breath. He lightly covered her swollen lips, and there was still desire in his complaining voice.

"You don't even bother to comfort me?"

Qi Yan lowered the corners of her eyes, looked up at him, and after a long time, she closed her eyelashes lightly and lowered her head to return his light kiss.

The warm yellow light from the bedside table poured over, masking the softness of her indifferent brows and eyes, and also illuminating her clear eyes. Only one person was reflected in that world.

Shen Rao stared at her eyes blankly, as if he was sucked in and trapped inside, unable to get out, and not wanting to get out.

"Is this okay?" Qi Yan's voice pulled him out of the vortex. "Now tell me why you are unhappy?"

Shen Rao stared at her for a while, then buried his head in her arms. His nose was filled with the reassuring cold fragrance, and he chuckled.

"You're just kidding. How can I be unhappy? I'm almost dying of happiness..."

He still felt like he was living in a dream and couldn't help but hold her tighter.

"..." Qi Yan also rested his chin on the top of his head and patted his broad back, "Then why do you drink?"

"I drink when I am happy."

"What are you happy about?"

Qi Yan was puzzled.

"You said 'I love you' a lot today. I'm happy."

Shen Rao rubbed her neck, his tone full of sweet smile.

"..."

I didn't expect that he liked this sentence so much. Qi Yan stopped his hand on his back, his eyes were vague and he felt inexplicably guilty.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her with his shining black eyes. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but he started to talk nonsense.

"Why are you marrying me?"

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Qi Yan's head, and he repeated it again, "Marry you?"

"Yes," Shen Rao was keenly aware of something and stared at her, "Why are you so surprised? You are not lying to me about getting married, are you?"

"……No."

Qi Yan felt like a heartless man accused by a virgin, but Shen Rao was indeed a virgin...

She shook off the messy thoughts in her mind and asked, "How do you say 'marry'?"

That's the point.

Shen Rao didn't rush to answer. He turned over and lay in her arms, letting her hug him with her arms. He pressed against her body and picked up a strand of her hair dyed with cold pine resin to play with it.

"I heard from grandma that when the Qi family looks for a partner, they 'marry' regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, so..."

He turned his eyes to look at Qi Yan who was letting him play with her, "When will you marry me?"

In front of Qi Yan, Shen Rao had none of the so-called self-esteem of a "man" in the outside world. He just blindly followed Qi Yan.

After Mrs. Shen told him about this, she asked him if he had any objection.

He didn't think so much. His mind was full of Qi Yan, and pink bubbles began to appear.

He would be so happy to be able to marry the one he loves, right? Why would he resist? He is not stupid.

Thinking of his grandmother's speechless expression during the video call, Shen Rao suddenly felt a little unsure and tried to make up for it nervously.

"Don't feel pressured. I'm not urging you to marry me... I'm not in a hurry..."

He twisted his fingers nervously, but when she didn't respond, he instantly became annoyed and stood up, grabbing her by the collar.

"Why are not you talking?"

"say what?"

Qi Yan's expression did not change when he was pulled up, and he tilted his head to look at him innocently.

"..."

Shen Rao couldn't stand her like this, so he gritted his teeth, pulled her collar and kissed her fiercely.

The sound of gnashing teeth came out intermittently from between the lips and teeth.

"I'm just urging you to marry me... I'm in a hurry... Don't be so ungrateful... Marry me now!"

"...Don't make me beg you..."

Finally, Shen Rao lowered his eyes, the viciousness in his eyes faded away, leaving only a layer of wet light, and glanced at her pitifully.

Qi Yan stroked his slender waist, soothing it like strokeing hair, and with her other hand, she grabbed his collar tightly and smiled.

"I didn't say I wouldn't marry you, what are you afraid of?"

Shen Rao turned his face away and snorted coldly with red eyes.

"How can I not be afraid? If you run away again, I won't be able to find Miss Qi. I can't lock you up or take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau, right?"

Doesn't he want to?

He wanted to, but couldn't.

"..."

Qi Yan choked, thinking that she probably learned this name from Zuo Yu. She looked up and said seriously.

"Don't call me that."

"...and you called me the wrong name? Aren't you Miss Qi?"

Hearing that she had changed the focus again, Shen Rao said sarcastically.

"I do not like."

"If so what do you like?"
