Destined with You-Chapter 1963 - 1978: Her Love for You Is Steadfast 3
Bai Jingqing, "..."
On the coffee table sat a case of canned beer. Gu Qingxin opened one and handed it to Bai Jingqing, who accepted it. Gu Qingxin then opened another one for herself, clinked his and said, "Tonight, we’re not leaving until we’re drunk."
Bai Jingqing, "..."
He watched the little girl across from him who had already started drinking. He tilted his head back and drank as well. Maybe if he got drunk, his heart wouldn’t hurt so much.
Maybe he could truly let himself get completely drunk just once!
Bai Jingqing drank two cans of beer with Gu Qingxin and found it meaningless, so he asked Aunt Zhou to bring two bottles of liquor.
Thus, Gu Qingxin drank beer while Bai Jingqing drank liquor. Neither said much; they just drank!
Gu Qingxin felt bad, Bai Jingqing felt worse.
As they both got drunk, they became more talkative.
Eventually, Gu Qingxin passed out directly on the sofa.
Bai Jingqing also fell asleep leaning on the sofa.
Aunt Zhou came over, looking helpless, and brought two blankets to cover them.
...
The next day, Gu Qingxin only felt aches in her waist and back, nearly to the point of cramps in her legs, and her head hurt terribly.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a tender little face. Xiao Yi was resting his chin on his hands, blinking his big, dark eyes at her.
Gu Qingxin raised her hand to rub her temples and asked, "Xiao Yi, why am I here?"
"You got drunk yesterday and slept here," Xiao Yi explained and stood up.
"..."
Gu Qingxin struggled to sit up, the blanket slipping off her. Xiao Yi immediately picked it up, while Gu Qingxin rubbed her temples, finally recalling that she was very upset yesterday and seeing Bai Jingqing suffer recently, she pulled him to drink together.
Later...
After downing three cans of beer, she didn’t remember anything.
Oh god!
Could she have said something she shouldn’t have?
Bai Jingqing was awake too, and his headache was even worse than Gu Qingxin’s, given that he drank liquor yesterday.
When Aunt Zhou saw they were awake, she brought in two bowls of hangover soup and said, "Drink some hangover soup first; it’ll ease the headache."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou." Gu Qingxin glanced guiltily at Bai Jingqing, took a bowl, and drank.
She kept glancing occasionally towards Bai Jingqing, asking, "Doctor Bai, did I say anything I shouldn’t have yesterday?"
"I was drunk yesterday too. I don’t remember anything," Bai Jingqing answered honestly.
He felt so miserable. That kind of life-is-worse-than-death feeling made him lose control at the sight of alcohol. He drank too fiercely and got drunk later than her.
"That’s good." Gu Qingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What?" Bai Jingqing didn’t hear her clearly and asked.
"Oh, nothing! I just meant Aunt Zhou’s cooking is good; even hangover soup tastes so good," Gu Qingxin laughed awkwardly twice. With each movement, her head hurt like hell. She covered her head in pain and said, "So painful!"
"Finish drinking and then go back to your room to rest more," Bai Jingqing frowned at her.
Gu Qingxin wanted to nod but remembered that moving her head just hurt, so she dared not move anymore.
After finishing the soup, Gu Qingxin ate some breakfast, then went back to her room, showered, and slept.
But...
After a night’s sleep, she couldn’t fall asleep at all. She could only endure the discomfort, looking gloomily at the ceiling. She swore never to get drunk again.
...
Two days later, Gu Qingxin received an unfamiliar phone call. She picked it up, intending to ask who it was, only to hear a somewhat familiar voice inside: "Miss Gu... have you been well recently?"
