Wei Xi watched the drunk Ling Zhen, and the restlessness in his heart finally sank bit by bit.

“You don’t know how to drink, huh?” He reached out his hand and slowly touched her warm cheek with his knuckles, “Still didn’t let others drink for you?”

“You didn’t tell me…” Ling Zhen closed her eyes and hiccuped, “The wine has such a great effect…”

Under the dim car lights, Wei Xi carefully looked at her face. 

After a long time, Ling Zhen almost fell asleep before Wei Xi whispered, “Go home and sleep again.”

Ling Zhen was an obedient drunk, “Okay…”

The car steadily drove and when he reached home, Wei Xi lightly touched her face, and said, “We are home.”

Ling Zhen slowly opened her eyes, her bright black eyes looked a little confused. She slowly rubbed her eyes and said in a low voice, “Wei Xi, I seem to have forgotten to tell you.”

Wei Xi, “Huh?”

“Thank you.” 

Ling Zhen’s voice was soft but serious.

Thanking him for standing by her side and doing everything for her who didn’t have much friendship with him.

After speaking, Ling Zhen went to pull the car door and wanted to get out of the car.

But suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and went over there.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Wei Xi looking down at her. His pupils were so dark that he could absorb any light, and his voice was low, “Just thank you?”

Ling Zhen’s head was very confused, and she couldn’t reflect the meaning of his words for a long time, but subconsciously felt that her own thank you was really lacking in substance.

After all, Wei Xi helped her so much and gave her a studio. She couldn’t measure the value of such things, but she also knew that it could not be offset by a light thank you.

Wei Xi had grasped her hand a little hard. So, Ling Zhen had to pat his hand to let him loosen his grip, while she simply said, “Then… I will give you a gift.”

Wei Xi loosened his fingers a bit but didn’t let go of her hand. He approached her with a playful look and asked, “What gift?”

“For the time being…” Ling Zhen was forced to step back a bit by him, “I didn’t know what to give you, but I won’t treat you badly.”

Wei Xi stared at Ling Zhen with his dark eyes and didn’t speak.

She didn’t know if it was because of drinking, but Ling Zhen felt a little hot.

And it seemed that the atmosphere in the car was a bit weird, and the invisible aura on Wei Xi’s body carried a natural pressure, making her feel a little uneasy, and even a bit dizzier.

Was he angry? It didn’t seem like that…

Did he think she was too perfunctory??

After a moment of silence, Ling Zhen couldn’t bear the heavy atmosphere. She covered her face begging for mercy, “If it’s okay, we can go home and sleep. I am really very sleepy.”

As soon as she spoke, the inexplicable atmosphere suddenly broke down. Her voice was a bit shaky in the end.

Wei Xi lowered his eyes. She seemed to be scared of him.

After a few seconds, Wei Xi backed away, finally let go of her, and asked, “Will you still drink next time?”

Ling Zhen was sleepy and a little scared, covering half of her face, she said with bright eyes, “Don’t drink, don’t drink.”

“No…” Wei Xi leaned forward and opened the car door for her, and added, “you can drink”

“…while I was there.”

When the next day Ling Zhen got up, she decided to never drink again.

The wine in the world was so sweet, who knew that the consequences after drinking would be so big, it was far worse than the fine wine in the fairy world. 

Ling Zhen woke up after rubbing her aching head for a long time and walked out of the room in her pajamas.

Wei Xi has already gone to the company, and he left her breakfast on the table.

Freshly brewed coffee with butter pineapple buns, some steamed dumplings with stir-fried tofu.

Ling Zhen, “…” 

Was she a pig being raised?

But she could feel that Wei Xi treated her better than before. 

Although Wei Xi’s temper was still not good, his attitude towards her had been different from his initial indifference to a seeming intimacy.
