As soon as Cheng Si finished speaking, the man walked towards him step by step. Perhaps he felt a little hot, so he loosened his tie with his fingers.

Jin Li's face easily turns red when he drinks, and now even the corners of his eyes are red.

"You want to send me off," Jin Li bent down slightly, and the distance between them suddenly shortened. He looked at him meaningfully.

Cheng Si's heartbeat became more intense as he got closer to him. He felt that Jin Li did have a pair of eyes that could bewitch people. "I want to give it to you."

Hearing this, Jin Li stepped back a little and smiled softly, "You still have some conscience."

"Oh, you two should go back quickly. It will be late if you get stuck in traffic," Jin Yue, who was still nearby, was speechless. She knew her brother had bad intentions from the way he acted, so she thought, out of sight, out of mind.

When he came out, Cheng Si finally came to his senses. He didn't drive here. He looked at the person next to him awkwardly, "Did you drive here?"

The other party did not reply, so Cheng Si understood that he did not drive and coughed, "Sorry, I didn't drive here. Can I call a car for you?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Li glanced at him from head to toe and said casually, "If you lose your memory, your brain will become stupid as well."

As he said this, he gave him the key from his pocket and said, "Let's go. If you delay any longer, I'll be sober."

After getting in the car, Jin Li was still clear-headed and briefly introduced the operating mode of the car to Cheng Si.

He was probably really drunk. After he finished speaking, he lowered his seat and went to sleep, really mistaking Cheng Si for his driver.

Cheng Si really treated himself as a driver, driving the car steadily and even considerately turned up the temperature when he was waiting at the traffic light, fearing that he would be cold.

After half an hour's drive, the navigation stopped broadcasting. After Cheng Si drove the car into the residential area, Jin Li had already opened his eyes and directed Cheng Si to stop at the door of the unit.

Cheng Si and Jin Li both got out of the car. He paused and said, "I'm going back first."

"Why didn't I see that you were... so unrequited?"

Cheng Si didn't quite understand what this meant, so Jin Li said directly, "Thank you for sending me back. Name a price and I'll give it to you."

"No need."

Jin Li sighed and said meaningfully, "I don't like owing others."

"Then can I go to your house for some tea?" Cheng Si felt his face getting hot when he said this. Perhaps he was more like the drunk one.

Jin Li's lips twitched slightly when he heard this, "No."

Cheng Si felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Can I add your number? I'll tell you when I feel better."

After saying that, Jin Li looked at him dangerously. Cheng Si looked calm on the surface. Jin Li didn't say anything in the end. He took out his phone and unlocked it, "Add it yourself."

Cheng Si took the phone and dialed his own number on Jin Li's phone with some hesitation. Cheng Si's finger touched the screen of Jin Li's phone, and he wanted to add WeChat, but he didn't dare to go any further.

Cheng Si reluctantly returned the phone to Jin Li. Jin Li took it and looked at it, then raised his eyes to Cheng Si, "How long have you not played with your phone? It took you so long to dial a number?"

Cheng Si felt a little guilty after hearing this and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry to have wasted your time."

Jin Li curled his lips casually, "It is indeed quite a delay, give me your phone."

Cheng Si opened the door with some confusion and handed the phone over. Jin Li took it and operated it for a short time before returning the phone to him.

Cheng Si took back his phone and saw a new friend on the WeChat interface. He pursed his lips.

"You can tell me that I can transfer money by calling me. If you ask for too much, do I have to go to the bank to withdraw money and send it to you?"

Cheng Si found Jin Li's words a little funny. "I won't ask for too much." If he could send it back once and get WeChat, he would have made a profit.

"Okay, I won't take you out of the community gate," Jin Li said, pointing to the exit in the direction of the community towards Cheng Si, "Call a car yourself and I can reimburse you for the fare."

After Jin Li finished speaking, he swiped his card to open the door of his apartment. It's not that he didn't want Cheng Si to go upstairs, it's just that his friends came over to play yesterday afternoon and he didn't have time to clean up the house.

Cheng Si watched Jin Li go upstairs, regained his usual calm expression, looked at the time, and walked towards the entrance of the community.

...

On New Year's Day, Cheng Si finished his previous project completely in the morning. Having nothing to do in the afternoon, he went straight back to his parents' place.

"Are you not busy during the New Year?" Cheng Yi, who was rarely at home, suddenly became concerned about his work.

Cheng Si shook his head when he heard this. "I won't be very busy recently. What's wrong with Dad?"

Cheng Yi got straight to the point, "One of my business partners happens to have a son who is just like you. Why don't you find some time to meet him and make friends."

Cheng Si paused. It would have been good if his parents had no objection to him liking boys. He didn't know why they had become so open-minded in the past two years and even started going on blind dates.

"Let's talk about it later," Cheng Si replied perfunctorily.

Yu Yanqing, who had been silent the whole time, was unhappy. "What else can you say? You are not a child anymore. You need someone who understands you. Your parents can't be with you forever.

Look at what kind of job you are doing. You don’t feel it now, but you get bumped into things every two or three days. You will suffer when you get older!"

Cheng Si was lectured by her mother and felt helpless. "Mom, I'm fine. It's not as serious as you said. I'm not injured at all."

Yu Yanqing glared at him. "Whether you are injured or not is up to you to decide. Don't talk too much. Didn't you say that the last project just ended? Ask your dad to talk to him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you can go meet him."

Cheng Si said "hmm" with a headache, thinking of just having a quick meal to get by.

"Oh, by the way, when I was helping you clean up your room yesterday, I saw a locked small cabinet with a damp surface. I didn't know where the key was, so I dried it out for you yesterday. If you have time, look for the key and see what's in it. I don't know if it's damp, but it's quite heavy."

Cheng Si paused for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up and looked at his mother with a strange expression, "Mom, where is the box you mentioned now?"

"Ah? Put it back where it was."

After hearing this, Cheng Si seemed to have some intuition. He suddenly remembered a sentence in every notebook of his senior year in high school. He forgot to look for the key, so he flipped through the diary.

But he didn't care about it at the time. The heavier academic workload in his senior year and the people and things around him made him overwhelmed. He had no energy to think about anything else, and in the end he really forgot about it.
