The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

"I wish you were my child... Xu Nian, if my unfilial son were even half as sensible as you, I would... I would be burning incense in gratitude."

Officer Zhang drank more and more, and had already finished a whole bottle of liquor.

His face was flushed, and he was feeling dizzy; even the hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.

Xu Nian didn't drink much, but having never drunk alcohol before, he was already feeling some difficulty breathing.

Half an hour has passed since I started drinking the half-glass of wine in front of me, and there is still a layer of wine left at the bottom of the glass.

......

"When I was a kid, I never listened to my teachers... I always went against them. Back then, teachers were what I hated most..."

"Hey, I never thought I'd have a teacher friend who would marry a teacher. What a mess this is."

"She also controls me every day, not letting me eat this because she says I have high blood pressure, and not letting me drink that because she says I'm too fat."

"So what if I'm fat...?"

"Isn't the point of living this life... just to eat something good?"

......

After finishing the second bottle of wine, Officer Zhang slumped onto the table, completely unable to move.

Perhaps because he hadn't drunk alcohol for too long, he, who used to be able to walk after drinking three bottles, was now unable to walk after less than two bottles.

Xu Nian leaned against the dining chair, panting heavily, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He drank almost half a bottle of wine. The alcohol was absorbed by his stomach, traveled through his blood vessels, and climbed all the way to his brain.

Xu Nian felt a splitting headache.

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang?"

The only response he received was Officer Zhang's thunderous snoring.

This wine... has a really strong aftereffect.

Xu Nian's consciousness began to blur.

When he first drank the wine, he felt as if a fire was burning in his stomach.

But as time went on, his body began to become increasingly unresponsive.

Xu Nian stood up and swayed as she walked to Officer Zhang's side.

Uncle Zhang is so drunk, he definitely won't be able to go home tonight.

We need to move him to our own bed.

Xu Nian gritted her teeth and hoisted Officer Zhang's body onto her back.

Officer Zhang's nearly 200-pound body pressed down on Xu Nian, causing Xu Nian to shudder violently and almost fall over.

Fortunately, after getting used to it for a while, Xu Nian was able to carry him a few steps, albeit unsteadily.

Although Xu Nian had carried heavy objects weighing two or three hundred kilograms many times in the logistics park.

But after drinking alcohol today, my body isn't responding well.

The few steps from the kitchen to the room felt like walking several kilometers.

Finally, after much effort, Xu Nian managed to move Officer Zhang to her bed.

After leaving the room and closing the door, Xu Nian stumbled to the sofa and fell onto it like a kite with a broken string.

In an instant, the last line of defense in my mind collapsed, and alcohol completely invaded every corner of my brain.

Xu Nian forgot who she was, forgot that she was an unwanted child.

The pressures of life seemed to have been thrown to the back of his mind and completely faded from his body.

So...so drinking really can be a temporary escape from reality...

My throat was burning, and even my breath felt like it was on fire.

Xu Nian felt as if her lips were parched and cracked earth.

He tried to get up and go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, but his body wouldn't obey him.

My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and my breathing became increasingly labored.

Before completely losing consciousness, Xu Nian seemed to see Xu Xi standing in front of her, her fists clenched.

Xu Xi's face looked extremely pale at this moment.

Looking at Xu Nian, who was lying on the sofa like a dead fish, a wave of indescribable sorrow welled up in her heart.

Xu Xi hates alcohol, and she hates drunk people even more.

But the drunkard in front of her was none other than her most beloved brother.

Every sip of wine that Xu Nian swallowed felt like a needle piercing Xu Xi's heart.

Finally, she sighed deeply, bent down, and gently shook Xu Nian.

"Brother, brother?"

The only response he received was Xu Nian's soft snoring.

The nauseating smell of alcohol made Xu Xi frown.

She struggled to turn Xu Nian over, only to find his face flushed red and burning hot to the touch.

The breath he exhaled was extremely hot, like a hot wind blowing in the desert at midday.

Xu Nian's lips moved as if she were muttering something to herself.

"Brother, what did you say?"

Xu Xi pressed her ear close to Xu Nian's lips, feeling the warm air blowing from his mouth.

"Water...water..."

Only then did Xu Xi notice that Xu Nian's lips were dry and cracked.

She quickly ran to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and returned to Xu Nian's side.

But now that the water has arrived, how should we give it to Xu Nian to drink?

Xu Xi bent down and slowly helped Xu Nian up, letting him lean against the back of the sofa.

She brought the water glass to Xu Nian's lips, tilting it slightly at his lips.

Warm water gushed down, but not a single drop went into Xu Nian's mouth; it all spilled onto his clothes.

After several attempts, the entire glass of water was wasted, and he still couldn't get a single drop into Xu Nian's mouth.

This can't go on forever.

Xu Xi brought back another glass of water and looked at Xu Nian's chapped lips.

An idea popped into her head.

She sat on Xu Nian's lap and took a sip of warm water from her glass.

Instead of swallowing, it was held in the mouth.

Xu Xi slowly approached Xu Nian and closed her eyes.

Slowly, her small mouth touched Xu Nian's lips.

Her snake-like tongue gently pried open his lips, creating a slit.

The water in her mouth flowed gently into Xu Nian's mouth through the open slit.

As Xu Nian's Adam's apple bobbed twice, the warm water, mixed with the girl's body temperature, was successfully drunk.

Then, the second bite, the third bite, the fourth bite...

Until Xu Nian swallowed the last sip of water in the cup, Xu Xi hugged Xu Nian tightly, and did not loosen their lips for a long time.

Xu Xi didn't know why she did it; it seemed to be a bodily instinct that she couldn't resist and didn't want to resist.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; the crickets outside the window stopped chirping, and the sound of cars passing by in the distance ceased.

At this moment, only two hearts beat in unison, thumping in unison.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Xu Xi opened her eyes, her cheeks seemingly even redder than the drunken Xu Nian.

She licked her lips, still savoring the warmth of Xu Nian's breath.

It would be even better if it didn't have the taste of alcohol.

"Brother, I'm entrusting Xiaoxi's first kiss to you."

"From now on, you'll be responsible for the stream."
