Today Lu Lin and Yan Heqing have to get one of them drunk!
Xie Yunjie was playing on his phone next to him, the screen never turning off; he was chatting with his wife.
The private room fell silent for a moment. Yan Heqing turned his head to look at Lu Lin, Lu Lin was still in the same position as before. However, Yan Heqing knew that he was not asleep, as the hand on his waist was moving along his waistline.
Even through the thin fabric, Lu Lin's palms were surprisingly warm.
Lu Lin was slightly tipsy.
Yan Heqing looked away. There were several large fruit platters on the coffee table, with grapes, watermelons... all fruits that help with hangovers.
Yan Heqing searched for a while longer and found No. 1 Primary School of olives.
He took a wet wipe and wiped his hands, then picked up an olive and fed it to Lu Lin, saying, "Eating an olive will make you feel better."
Lu Lin opened his eyes, glanced at Yan Heqing first, and then ate the olive.
Yan Heqing's fingers touched Lu Lin's lips, and they burned his skin. Just as he was about to pull his hand away, Lu Lin grabbed his hand and pulled him a few centimeters closer to his chest.
"It was my first time here, and you put two drops of olive juice in my drink."
Chu Ziyu stood up, holding the bottle up to the light, blocking out much of it. It became even darker on Yan Heqing and Lu Lin's side. Yan Heqing couldn't quite see Lu Lin's expression. He honestly said, "I did it on purpose, hoping to pique your interest in that drink."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Lin abruptly pulled him up, her voice hoarse, "I'm leaving first. We're flying Friday night. Get ready."
"Oh." Chu Ziyu had just mixed the wine, and turned back, still a little confused. "Then who's going to drink this?"
The decision is yours.
Lu Lin pulled Yan Heqing away.
Chu Ziyu was a bit slow on the uptake. The door to the private room closed, and he turned to Xie Yunjie, asking, "Do you want a drink?"
Xie Yunjie raised an eyebrow. "My wife gave me an order: I'm forbidden from drinking more than two glasses." He freed one hand to pour himself a glass of watermelon juice. "I'll drink this."
"Oh." Chu Ziyu shook the wine. "Then I'll drink it myself."
He tilted his head back and gulped it down.
The alcohol hit his head, and Chu Ziyu rubbed his eyes and slumped into the sofa. He stared wide-eyed at the dark ceiling, which seemed to have a vortex and was spinning incessantly. Suddenly, he remembered an old story.
It's really old, and genuinely aged.
He actually pursued her once.
Before long, Chu Ziyu's eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep hugging a pillow.
Outside the bar, it was late at night, and there were hardly any cars on the road.
Neither of them could drive after drinking, but Lu Lin didn't call a designated driver or a car. Instead, he half-squatted down in front of Yan Heqing and said, "I'll carry you home."
It might be too late to walk back to Beijing University from here, it might not even be dawn. Yan Heqing leaned closer to Lu Lin and sniffed; the smell of alcohol was indeed quite strong. Lu Lin noticed his action and chuckled, "Not drunk. I'll call a car after I carry you for a bit."
Only then did Yan Heqing move.
Lu Lin steadied his legs, stood up easily, and slowly walked along the sidewalk.
The orange streetlights cast long, overlapping shadows on the two figures, making them appear longer and farther apart.
It hasn't stopped.

A few days passed, and the invitations were sent out. There weren't many guests invited, so arranging one plane that could seat 18 people and one plane that could seat 6 people would be enough.
Old Man Fang's family was worried, so they arranged for his grandson to accompany him. They met at the airport on Friday night. The grandson was a young man with glasses and a refined and handsome appearance.
Old Man Fang introduced enthusiastically, " Xiao Yan, this is my eldest grandson, Fang Che. He just returned from studying abroad and is a surgeon. He'll be starting work next month."
Fang Che nodded. "Hello."
Yan Heqing responded politely, "Hello, Yan Heqing."
The assistant arranged the seats. Besides Lu Lin and Yan Heqing, the other four people on the six-person plane were Old Man Fang, Fang Che, Ge Tongyuan, and Lu Sui'an's daughter.
Lu Sui'an's daughter is a big fan of Yan Heqing. She doesn't mind being separated from her parents by plane and happily shows Yan Heqing her learning achievement of folding swans with napkins.
Old Man Fang learned that Lu Lin also loved fishing, he ignored his grandson as soon as he boarded the plane and sat down with Lu Lin, chatting intently.
Fang Che and Ge Tongyuan sat in a row.
Ge Tongyuan is usually very outgoing, but when he glanced at Fang Che Fang Che, who was reading a book, Ge Tongyuan unusually didn't initiate a conversation; he was airsick.
After the plane stabilized, Ge Tongyuan's face turned pale. He couldn't sit comfortably no matter how he tried, so he tried to change his position again. Then an earphone was thrust over.
Ge Tongyuan was surprised, but still smiled and showed off his bright white teeth as he accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you!"
Ge Tongyuan thought Fang Che was very serious, and guessed his music taste was classical or jazz, but he was wearing headphones and surprisingly, it was rock.
Ge Tongyuan, a rock music enthusiast, was immediately distracted and instantly regained his energy, turning to Fang Che to chat about rock music.
Next door, Yan Heqing was teaching his little niece how to fold roses. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ge Tongyuan, who was chatting enthusiastically, and Yan Heqing's eyelashes fluttered.
Could it be that Ge Tongyuan's lover has become Fang Che this time?
The original plot has now all come to pass.
Yan Heqing's heart suddenly raced.
The original text ends with Lin Fengzhi and Lu Muchi's wedding of the century.
Does this mean that once his wedding with Lu Lin is over, the original story ends, and there won't be any more unexpected events?
Although everything wouldn't be settled until March 4th, Yan Heqing was still tempted.
He gave his little niece a few instructions, then got up and walked towards Lu Lin and Old Man Fang, saying calmly, " Lu Lin, come with me."
I first walked towards the restroom at the rear of the plane.
Old Man Fang thought they were going to talk about the wedding, and chuckled, urging Lu Lin to hurry up and go.
Lu Lin got up and followed.
Yan Heqing had already gone into the bathroom; the door was ajar. Lu Lin pushed the door open and went in, and Yan Heqing closed the door as soon as he entered.
The bathroom was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two adult men. Before Lu Lin could even turn around and speak, Yan Heqing stood on tiptoe and hugged him tightly, her face brushing against Lu Lin's hair as she called out, " Lu Lin."
Their chests were pressed tightly together, and Lu Lin could feel Yan Heqing's heart pounding faster than usual. He didn't understand why, but he hugged Yan Heqing back first, "Hmm?"
