Zhou Hong is urging me to get married again.
I am so busy with work that my head feels dizzy and my spirit is low.
She presses me, and I casually nod, "I know, you're just worried that I won't be able to get married. Don't worry, I will definitely get married. If it comes to that, I'll just steal the household registration book and go to the civil affairs bureau; you can help me line up."
"……"
Zhou Hong looks upset: "Liu Yajie, you are already twenty-seven!"
I look at her: "Is it wrong to get married at thirty?"
"……"
Zhou Hong stands up, her face turning green with anger: "Fine, you’re amazing. You can get married at thirty; let’s see if you can even conceive by then!"
After saying that, she storms off in anger.
I sigh and head to the break room to lie down and sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly my phone rings.
Still groggy, I answer, "Hello?"
It's Xu Qian's voice: "Aren't you off work yet?"
I keep my eyes closed: "What's up?"
"There’s a cocktail party tonight," he says, "Get ready; I'm coming to pick you up now."
"……"
I suddenly open my eyes and sit up: "What time is it?"
"Just past four," he replies, "You still have over an hour; you can make it."
"……"
I hang up the phone and get out of bed to wash my face.
Twenty minutes later, I go downstairs.
Xu Qian is already waiting downstairs.
I get into the car, and he glances at me: "Didn’t sleep well?"
"……"
I rub my temples: "There’s been too much going on these days."
Xu Qian smiles but doesn’t say anything more.
……
At the cocktail party, most of the people are from my circle, and I know most of them.
I accompany Xu Qian around for a bit, chat with some partners, and then start feeling a bit dizzy.
I walked to a corner where no one was around, planning to take a nap. Xu Qian followed me and said, "Can I keep you company?"
I shook my head, "No need, don't you have someone else tonight?"
"..."
Xu Qian smiled and didn't say anything more. I walked towards the elevator in my high heels.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "President Xu."
Xu Qian stopped in his tracks.
I stopped as well and turned around. A middle-aged man approached with a big smile on his face, "President Xu, let me toast you."
Xu Qian raised his glass and clinked it with the man's.
The man clearly wanted to discuss business and kept chatting with Xu Qian.
Xu Qian looked at him with a half-smile.
I turned around and went upstairs.
The lounge on the third floor was a place where I could sleep.
I took off my high heels and jacket, lying down on the sofa.
I couldn't fall asleep; my mind was occupied with the conversation between Xu Qian and that man.
Xu Qian...
He seemed a bit unfathomable.
That's why I didn't want to marry him.
If I married him, I felt like he would play with me until I was exhausted.
In a daze, I eventually fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside.
I stared at the ceiling, my mind blank.
A few seconds later, I suddenly sat up.
How did I end up at home?
Wasn't I at the party yesterday?
I looked down; my clothes were all intact, and there was nothing unusual about my body.
Could it be that I wasn't...
Impossible.
Even though I didn't drink much yesterday, I've been so tired lately that I get drunk easily, and I did drink quite a bit, so it's impossible that nothing happened.
I suspect I was drugged.
But after checking, there was nothing.
Just...
Where is my coat?
I called Xu Manjia: "How did I get home yesterday?"
Xu Manjia's voice came through: "You got drunk yesterday, and I took you home."
"..."
I recalled carefully: "Did I drink a lot yesterday?"
Xu Manjia laughed: "It was okay, but I remember you were acting a bit crazy."
"..."
My pupils shook: "What did you say?"
"..."
Xu Manjia cleared her throat: "Yesterday, you wall-slammed Xu Qian."
"..."
I gasped: "I wall-slammed Xu Qian?"
"..."
Xu Manjia was silent for a moment: "You don't remember?"
"..."
I closed my eyes: "I blacked out."
"..."
Xu Manjia chuckled: "Well, you definitely remember wall-slamming Xu Qian."
"..."
I took a deep breath: "Why would I wall-slam him?"
"..."
Xu Manjia cleared her throat again: "I don't know about that, but when I saw you yesterday, you were talking to Xu Qian, and then you wall-slammed him."
"..."
I tried to recall, and some vague fragments began to surface in my mind.
I seem to have really cornered Xu Qian.
I blinked: "I cornered Xu Qian, and then what?"
Xu Manjia: "Then I took you home."
"..."
I swallowed hard: "So I cornered Xu Qian, what was his reaction?"
Xu Manjia: "He seemed pretty happy."
"..."
My heart raced.
Xu Manjia: "Oh right, you also threw up on Xu Qian yesterday."
"..."
I felt like I had been struck by lightning.
Xu Manjia: "It's okay, you don't have to worry. I already apologized for you yesterday, and Xu Qian said it was fine."
"..."
I wanted to die.
Xu Manjia: "Hey, what happened to you yesterday? You usually handle your alcohol well; why did you get drunk so quickly?"
"..."
I opened my mouth: "I... I don't know either."
Xu Manjia: "Have you been too tired lately?"
"..."
I sighed: "Maybe."
Xu Manjia: "Then don't go to the office today; take a good rest."
"..."
I hesitated for a moment: "No, there's a meeting today."
Xu Manjia: "..."
...
By the time I arrived at the office, it was already eight-thirty in the morning.
The meeting started, and several board members began nitpicking.
I felt sluggish and struggled to keep up.
After the meeting, I walked towards my office.
A vague image floated in my mind.
I grabbed Xu Qian's tie and pressed him against the wall, squinting at him.
Xu Qian lowered his gaze, looking at me with a half-smile, "Finished drinking?"
"..."
I stared at him, "Are you avoiding me?"
Xu Qian chuckled, "How could I?"
"..."
I tugged on his tie, pulling him closer, "Then why haven't you come to find me?"
Xu Qian looked at me, "Do you want me to find you?"
"..."
I fixed my gaze on him, "You should come find me."
"..."
Xu Qian stared at me for a few seconds before suddenly laughing, "Alright."
"..."
I released his tie and turned to leave.
Xu Qian grabbed my arm.
I stopped and turned my head to look at him.
Xu Qian locked eyes with me, "Liu Yajie, do you really want me to come find you?"
"..."
I looked at him, "Don't you want to?"
Xu Qian met my gaze, "I do."
"..."
I pushed his hand away, "Then come find me."
