boom!

A huge firework exploded almost overhead.

Lu Xingchen subconsciously looked up at the fireworks showering from the sky, and her face was immediately held by a pair of large hands. She was forced to meet Li Zhen's gaze, and saw him speak again in an embarrassed tone, "I..."

boom!

boom!boom!

Bunch of gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another, and then a video of a man and a woman's first acquaintance appeared on the screen in front of the AK Building. The small square in front of the door was filled with a group of noisy young people. It was obvious that this was a scene of a confession or proposal.

This kind of revelry obviously overwhelmed the clamor in Li Zhen's heart, and he could not continue speaking.

Regardless of whether it was a group of people's revelry or one person's noise, Lu Xingchen didn't feel much, because that group of people had nothing to do with her, and she never believed that Li Zhen could say anything good to her.

She helped Li Zhen stand up straight even calmer than before and said, "You get in the car first."

As she spoke, she supported him with one hand and pulled the handle of the back door with the other. The door was opened a crack before it was pushed shut with a slam due to the reaction force.

Lu Xingchen looked at Li Zhen, the instigator, in surprise.

Li Zhen grabbed her wrist with a stern face and pulled her away from where they were.

Seeing that this person couldn't even walk properly and was still dragging him, Lu Xingchen had to walk to his side in two steps, "Where are you going?"

She tried to break free from his grip on her wrist but failed. She could only use her other hand to grab his arm to prevent him from falling and taking herself with him. "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, let's stop and talk... Mr. Li! Mr. Li..."

Li Zhen was only thinking about leaving here, and didn't notice that Lu Xingchen was already having a hard time just supporting him, not to mention that he was holding one of his hands, and the two of them stumbled to the side of the road.

"Boss Li, Boss Li, tell me where you want to go first?"

"If you keep doing this, we'll both fall."

"Mr. Li..."

"Li Zhen! Stop right there!"

After being called out loudly, Li Zhen stopped obediently and stared at her with a face full of resentment and grievance.

But she is the one who is feeling aggrieved. Lu Xingchen took a deep breath and said in a slightly slower tone, "You have to tell me where you are going, right?"

Li Zhen turned his head a little slowly and looked at the tall buildings, bright lights, and wide intersections around him. He didn't know where to go, but he answered stubbornly, "To a quiet place."

This is the Hi-Tech Zone, and it’s New Year’s Day, so many stores are closed. Where can we find a quiet place for him?

"Let go first." As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist tightened, and she looked at Li Zhen in confusion.

Li Zhen looked gloomy, "I feel uncomfortable, I need to go to a quiet place for a while."

Not knowing what he was thinking, Lu Xingchen patiently said, "You have to let go so that I can free my hands to help you go, otherwise we will both fall on the street."

"You... hold me up?"

"Can you walk steadily on your own?"

"I can't walk steadily!" Li Zhen answered too quickly, and his dizzy mind still remembered to add, "I need you to hold me up so that I can walk steadily."

Lu Xingchen regretted agreeing to Luo Shi's request. She looked down at her wrist that was held by Li Zhen. After a long while, Li Zhen slowly let go of her hand.

Lu Xingchen didn't think much about it and supported his arm and tried to persuade him: "Can we drive to where you want to go?"

"No."

"What about taking a taxi?"

"No."

Lu Xingchen looked up at him. Was he trying to pick a fight on purpose?

Li Zhen looked away, "I drank too much and felt like vomiting while riding in the car."

"..." Not only does this person have a clear mind, but isn't it said that people who are drunk will not admit that they are drunk? "Are you deliberately taking the opportunity to mess with me?"

Li Zhen looked back at her for a moment, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "I sent you a New Year's text message, why didn't you reply?"

The topic changed so quickly that Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, "Didn't the group reply go wrong?"

I knew it was like this, Li Zhen said with a grudge: "Even if it is true, shouldn't you say Happy New Year in return to be polite during the New Year?"

Well, she took back the idea that he had a clear mind. She wanted to say something back to him, what if he blamed her for making small talk and annoying him, but then she thought, why bother to argue with a drunk man.

"I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"Then I'll give you another chance."

"what chance?"

Li Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "The chance to wish me a happy new year."

There should be a lot of people wishing him a happy new year. What is this person's hobby that requires her to wish him a happy new year?

Lu Xingchen looked at the man carefully. Would you say he was sober? His eyes were a little straight. Would you say he was not sober? But his ability to argue was not weak at all.

It was just a simple "Happy New Year", but she for some reason couldn't say it in front of others, so she simply half supported and half dragged him to the crosswalk where the green light was on.

"Don't you want to go somewhere quiet? Let's go."

Li Zhen didn't look at her, but just watched Lu Xingchen dragging him away. His steps were a little unsteady, but he kept up with her step by step.

After they crossed the sidewalk, Lu Xingchen just supported him and continued walking without saying a word.

Li Shu, Li Wen and Lin Huanxi would all wish him a happy new year.

So Lu Xingchen really hated him.

Li Zhen looked at Lu Xingchen, who was supporting him but seemed very far away from him. His head became more and more dizzy and his steps became heavier.

It sank until Lu Xingchen could hardly drag it. She had to stop and look at the person next to her, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable with the wind?"

Li Zhen nodded when he heard the word "uncomfortable", and the alcohol was getting more and more effective.

Lu Xingchen: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Li Zhen patted his left chest: "In my heart."

"Heartache?" Lu Xingchen was shocked. "Do you want me to take a taxi to the hospital?"

Li Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears. He pulled the man who was trying to take him to the side of the road to hail a taxi and said, "Wish me a happy new year and I'll give you a red envelope, okay?"

Lu Xingchen: “…”

Li Zhen: "If you wish me a happy new year, I will give you a red envelope bigger than the ones Li Shu and Li Wen gave you."

Lu Xingchen replied directly: "No need."

Li Zhen's lips curled up instantly.

Lu Xingchen immediately asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'll feel comfortable if you wish me a happy new year."

"It seems you have drunk too much."

"I didn't drink too much!"

Well, I even said something like I wasn’t drunk. Lu Xingchen looked around and said, “There’s a small square in front. Why don’t you go sit there for a while?”

"If you don't wish me a happy new year, I won't go."

"Why do you have to ask me to wish you a happy new year?"

"Didn't you ask me to give you New Year's gifts every year?"

Lu Xingchen frowned immediately. When she was pursuing him but hadn't caught up with him before, she had sent him a message during the Chinese New Year to wish him a happy new year and ask for New Year's money.

Of course, he didn't give her any, and didn't even reply to her message, but she was not discouraged at all and sent him a message saying:

Okay, you can give me this year's New Year's money together next year.

I have a feeling that starting from next year until I become an old lady, you will give me New Year's gifts every year.

Because you will soon like me, like me so much that you will give me all your wishes for exorcism, disaster avoidance and blessing.

Including yourself

However, they separated before the Spring Festival of the following year, and she never received his New Year's money.

Now she is no longer the whimsical Lu Xingchen. Thinking of this, she let go of his hand and asked him expressionlessly: "Are you sure you don't want to leave?"

Li Zhen looked at her and stood there stubbornly without moving.

"Okay, if you don't leave, I'll leave." Lu Xingchen said this and turned away.
