The door of the private room opened and the other four people had all arrived.
When Jiang Sui and Si Nian walked in with their index fingers clasped together, everyone was stunned at first.
When everyone reacted, Wu Chunhao was the first to exclaim.
"Nine, have you figured it out?"
Si Nian didn't answer and walked towards Wu Chunhao with Jiang Sui.
He was sitting one seat away from Wu Chunhao. He pulled out a chair for Jiang Sui to sit down. Xiao Wen was sitting next to him.
After Jiang Sui sat down, Xiao Wen leaned over and asked her, "Are you... together?"
She was a little embarrassed, but still pursed her lips and nodded.
Xiao Wen smiled and winked at Jiang Sui, then gave Cui Jin a look.
Cui Jin picked up a glass of wine and stood up and said, "Today is a good day. I suggest that we have a drink to celebrate the beginning of our sweet love!"
Several people smiled and stood up with the wine glasses in front of them. Jiang Sui was no exception.
But before everyone clinked glasses, Si Nian quietly replaced the beer in Jiang Sui's hand with orange juice.
After they finished their cups, Xiao Wen, who was sitting next to Jiang Sui, discovered that Jiang Sui actually drank orange juice, and quickly shouted, "Sui Sui's orange juice doesn't count, this is a foul!"
Jiang Sui stuck out his tongue and winked at Si Nian.
Si Nian reached out and held Jiang Sui's hand, smiling and explaining, "She is allergic to beer and can't drink it."
"She is allergic, but you are not. We will accept it even if your boyfriend does it for you!" Cui Jin took over the conversation jokingly.
"That's right!" The other three also echoed.
There was no choice but to smile, pick up the wine glass and drink it all.
The same thing happened in the next few times. Every time someone offered to drink, Si Nian would drink double the amount.
No matter how good a person's alcohol tolerance is, he can't resist drinking like this.
So when the dinner was over, only Si Nian was drunk.
Wu Chunhao helped him get into the taxi, but when he got home, Jiang Sui had to use a lot of effort to get him home and put him on the bed.
Then she sat on the edge of the bed, breathing slightly, and looked at him quietly.
Si Nian was drunk, but very quiet, without making any noise or noise. His eyelids were slightly closed, but he still looked charming.
She was lost in thought without realizing it, and her body leaned forward unconsciously.
Jiang Sui originally wanted to just taste it briefly, but unexpectedly the drunk man suddenly opened his eyes, held her with both hands, and deepened the kiss.
Maybe it was because he was drunk, he kissed her very hard and not gently at all.
She purred and responded to him silently, letting his tongue entangle freely in her mouth.
After a long time, Jiang Sui's cheeks turned red due to difficulty breathing.
She patted Si Nian twice before he let her go.
Looking at her embarrassed look, he laughed softly while lying on the bed.
She glared at him and asked, "Are you not drunk?"
He shook his head and said with a dazed look in his eyes , "I'm drunk, but I'm so happy. I'm happy even when I'm drunk. This is the first time in three years that I can drink without restraint in front of outsiders. It's because of you."
Because you are here, no matter if I am drunk or unconscious, I will not be framed, because I know you will take me home in the end.
It was not until this moment that Jiang Sui realized that being drunk was the beginning of his misfortune. Even Wu Chunhao probably did not know this.
Jiang Sui felt a little bitter in his heart, but he still had a faint smile on his face towards Si Nian.
She asked him softly, "Do you trust me so much?"
He moved, rested his head on her legs, closed his eyes and said, "You live in my heart. How can I not trust my own heart?"
People's hearts are unpredictable in this world. He only trusts his own heart, and Jiang Sui is a part of his heart.
The next morning, Si Nian was still drunk. Jiang Sui made an appointment for millet porridge for him, left a note, and hurried back to school for class.
On the first day of the new semester, good news came from Ms. Wu’s project team.
Zhou Cheng was also the first to pass the various assessments and received an invitation to study and exchange at the top university in Country D.
While the group members congratulated him, they also suggested finding a time to celebrate for him together.
However, because Zhou Cheng also needed to immediately return to his registered residence, Jingbei City, to handle a series of certificates and procedures, this meal could only be realized after he returned from Jingbei.
In the following March, Si Nian and Wu Chunhao took on several jobs in a row, and were so busy even on weekends that they had no time to visit Jiang Sui at school.
Jiang Sui had more courses this semester. Except for the first weekend in March, when she watched Si Nian write code for two days, she had no time to leave the school for the following weekends because she had to take various level exams.
So even though the two of them became lovers and lived in the same city, they were each busy and only met once a month, which was actually longer than before they confirmed their relationship.
Thinking of this, Jiang Sui also found it a little unbelievable.
Logically speaking, they have just gotten together and should need more time to see each other or stay together.
But they are all so busy that they don't even have time to meet each other, which is really helpless.
During the time when they couldn't see each other, Jiang Sui could only express his longing for Si Nian through his mobile phone.
Occasionally, when she wanted to let her mind vent, she would send Si Nian a message. There weren't too many pretentious words, but just four words each time: "I miss you."
And Si Nian’s response was different every time.
Sometimes it’s just a sentence like “Me too, I miss you so much…”, and Jiang Sui would laugh for a long time after reading it.
Sometimes he would ask, "What are you thinking about?" which made Jiang Sui blush and his heart beat fast.
On the last day of March, Jiang Sui's last exam was over and she finally had a moment of leisure. She just wanted to run to the store to find Si Nian.
And she had told him so the day before.
But unfortunately, Zhou Cheng, who went back to Beijing to process documents, also came back that day, and stayed for only one day, as he had to fly to Country D the next day.
So the postponed celebratory dinner was finally changed into a farewell dinner, and it was hastily scheduled for tonight.
Helplessly, Jiang Sui could only send another message to Si Nian.
[Shanxi: Senior Brother Zhou will fly to Country D tomorrow. The group has arranged a practice session for him in the evening. I don’t know when it will end. I can’t miss your place~ wuwu/crying]
Less than three seconds after Jiang Sui sent the message, Si Nian's message came back quickly.
【Nian: It’s okay, tell me when it’s almost over and I’ll pick you up! 】
When Jiang Sui saw Si Nian's message, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
【Shanxi: Have you finished the work at hand?】
【Year: I have been working for two days and two nights and just finished the work. 】
Oh, staying up late again!
When Jiang Sui saw the message, she felt sorry for Si Nian again because she didn't see anyone.
【Shanxi: Why are you staying up late again? Didn’t I tell you to take care of your health and not stay up late? /Angry】
[Year: Because I want to see you, and you happen to be free these two days, I want to spend more time with you... Don't be angry/cute]
[Year: If we don’t meet again, I’m afraid you’ll forget me as your boyfriend/poor you]
Jiang Sui couldn't hold back her smile anymore when she saw this, and she quickly typed a reply to him on her phone.
[Shanxi: How could that be?/Sneak Smile Even if I haven’t seen you for a few years, I will never forget you. You are like engraved in my heart, I will never forget you]
【Nian: Stop talking nonsense! Knock on wood!】
Jiang Sui was stunned when he saw this message. When he came to his senses, he found it funny. It turned out that Si Nian also believed in this.
But she still knocked on her desk as he asked and sent her a message back.
[Shanxi: Okay, I knocked/Be good]
[Year: Be good/pat on the head, try not to drink at night. If you really can’t avoid it, remember to call me early and I’ll pick you up! ]
【Shanxi: OK.】
After finishing the WeChat chat with Si Nian, Jiang Sui changed into a pair of narrow wide-leg pants with white sneakers, and wore a tight light-colored sweater with a denim top.
Unless she is attending some formal occasions, Jiang Sui usually does not wear makeup, and today is no exception. Even without makeup, she looks fresh and natural.
Zhou Chengye’s practice banquet was held in a large private room of a restaurant near the school. All members of the group were present. There were less than twenty people, and the large table was packed.
As soon as Jiang Sui arrived, Zhou Cheng arranged for him to sit next to him.
During the meal, everyone drank a lot of wine, but Jiang Sui didn't drink a drop.
She used the excuse that she was allergic to beer to get out of it, but her teammates initially refused to let her, saying that beer was not okay but that she could drink white wine instead.
When Jiang Sui didn't know how to hide anymore, Zhou Cheng spoke up for her.
He said: "Jiang Jiang can't drink, so don't force her. Can I drink a few more glasses?"
In the end, it was only after Zhou Cheng drank two more glasses that everyone let her go.
But this also attracted a boy in the group to make a scene. He shouted, "Brother Zhou, from the beginning you have been protecting Jiang Sui in everything, right... eh? Everyone understands!"
The boy chuckled evilly, and the other team members understood what was happening and started to shout and make noise as well.
This made Jiang Sui blush instantly.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped looking at anyone.
Zhou Cheng may have noticed Jiang Sui's discomfort, so he immediately changed the subject. He said with a smile, "Don't make a fuss. Girls are shy. Are you going to let them eat like this? You will know what it is later."
After hearing what Zhou Chengye said, everyone laughed a few more times and didn't mention the matter again.
But after that, Jiang Sui seemed to have grown thorns on his body. Because he was too close to Zhou Cheng, their elbows would touch each other from time to time, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
So she moved her chair to the side while no one was paying attention, but the space was too limited and it didn't work.
After finishing the meal absentmindedly, Jiang Sui sent a message to Si Nian, asking him to pick her up early.
After receiving the message, Si Nian specifically asked her if she had drunk any alcohol. She replied no, and he only said two words, "Wait for me," and then nothing else.
When they came out of the restaurant, the others were still not satisfied and suggested moving on to the next game, the bar.
But Jiang Sui declined.
Before Si Nian arrived, she was standing under the magnolia tree at the entrance of the restaurant waiting for him.
The weather in late March and early April is the season when magnolia flowers are in full bloom.
The tree is dotted with white magnolia flowers, and under the tree stands a graceful girl.
Zhou Cheng was also stunned without realizing it.
Another member of the group stopped a taxi, patted Zhou Cheng and asked, "Brother Zhou, aren't you leaving?"
Zhou Cheng also responded and told them to go first and he would be there soon.
Then he walked towards the magnolia tree step by step.
