Curly was typing on the keyboard, intentionally or unintentionally covering the screen with his body, "A very stupid dream."

Xu Anyi became more interested, "Tell me."

Curly looked down at her, because he was drunk, his eyes were a little dull again, "I dreamed that someone said... that he wanted to marry me."

Xu Anyi was silent for a moment, "Do you think it was a dream?"

"Isn't it uh, isn't it?" Curly hiccupped, as if he had smoked himself, waved his hand in front of him a few times, then put down his notebook, stood up with the stool next to him, and staggered to the bathroom.

Xu Anyi was afraid that she would fall, and was about to follow her, but saw the computer screen.

There are several windows open on the 15-inch screen, and what occupies most of it is a document with gray text on a black background, with large titles, subtitles and three-level titles, which are well organized.The window behind the document shows half a photo, and the church, flower basket, and groom in formal dress can be vaguely recognized.

Xu Anyi caught up with her at the bathroom door.

"That's not a dream."

Curly stared at her suddenly, "What did you say?"

At that moment, Xu Anyi was unavoidably nervous, and raised his hand to cover half of his face, "I said, it's not a dream, the person who wants to marry you is me."

The glass wine bottle in Curly's hand fell silently, the wine splashed the nightgown, and the wine bottle spun a few times around her feet.

"You want to marry me?"

Xu Anyi pulled her stunned curly hair away from the water spot, and asked her in the corridor, "Is it okay?"

Curly rubbed his face, "Are you serious?"

Xu Anyi was very sure, "I've never been so serious before."

"But..." Curly, with a drunken and confused look on his face, "Why?"

Xu Anyi didn't answer right away, but turned the notebook over to her, "You're also looking into marriage, aren't you?"

"I thought it was a dream..." she sounded on the verge of tears, "I dreamed that someone was going to marry me, so I need to find out what to do, I've never been married."

"I do not have either."

Curly fell drunk on the bed, "I must be drunk, you want to marry me, why would anyone marry me?"

Xu Anyi was a little helpless and a little funny, went to the bathroom to get a wet towel, came back and untied her nightgown twice, and helped her wipe off the drink, "Why not?"

But the act of undressing gave Curly another kind of indication, she sent herself over consciously, climbed onto Xu Anyi's waist, raised her head and asked, "Why?"

Xu Anyi pinched her chin, then kissed her hair, "Why not?"

The dialogue continued endlessly, and in the end Xu Anyi was defeated. A sober person cannot reason with a drunk.

Curly put her down as well, then sat on her lap and asked "why" one last time.

"Because..." Xu Anyi couldn't bear to let go of the delicious food delivered to his door, "I love you."

This time she was very slow, and she frequently lost her mind in the middle. A few times Xu Anyi thought she was falling asleep, but every time she was about to stop, Curly would make a dissatisfied hum, as if reminding her not to stop.

possible----

It was really sudden.

Xu Anyi also didn't understand why he got into the dead end of "marriage".

Perhaps Las Vegas is the "marriage capital" and its very existence carries hypnotic implications.

At the end of the scene, Curly fell into silence uncharacteristically, and even went to the bathroom quietly.

Xu Anyi was very disappointed.

But in any case, a quiet drunk is more likable than a rambunctious one.

When Xu Anyi also came out of the shower, Curly put on a clean shirt and trousers, sat cross-legged on the sofa, stared at the laptop screen and at the same time looked at the phone.

After a few minutes, she shook her phone, "Okay."

"what?"

"Filled out the pre-application and booked the car to the registration office."

It was a quarter past ten in the evening.

Xu Anyi dressed neatly as quickly as possible, and finally put on the baseball cap and pressed the brim of the hat to the lowest level.

Curly opened the door, and when she put her hand on the doorknob, she seemed to be confused again, and she turned around and asked, "What are we going to do?"

Xu Anyi took a deep breath, "Get married."

Curly nodded, "Well, let's go."

Xu Anyi found Lin Jiqiao in the restaurant, she didn't hide her whereabouts, the wine was sweet and rich.

There was only a little left in the crystal glass on the dining table, and the wine bottle was more than half empty.

"I thought...alcohol was forbidden here." Xu Anyi said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect there to be a little alcoholic who secretly drank in the middle of the night."

"It was originally forbidden." Lin Jiqiao rested his head on his knees, the back of his head facing her, feeling faintly restless.

Xu Anyi took a sip from the cup, "Then why did you drink it again?"

"I drank it too."

"Then why is it banned?"

"Because..." Lin Jiqiao sniffed, the reason why her nose got stuffy after drinking alcohol was not the reason for her abstinence, "because..."

Alcohol can make people lose their minds and daydream, even those dreams that they would never even dare to dream about.

It can make people lose themselves and make promises that they can't keep.

But it can also magnify courage, even if it's just a bubble of illusory and fragile courage.

Lin Jiqiao turned his head and faced Xu Anyi, "Drinking makes me..."

The mobile phone on the dining table buzzed and vibrated, and "two two" was lit on the screen.

Although the Do Not Disturb mode is set, the personal collection and group contacts have permission to access the call.

Xu Anyi turned the phone over and looked directly into Lin Jiqiao's eyes.

The power of alcohol was revealed at this time, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes flickered, and an answer was about to come out.

"Get you what?"

Lin Jiqiao was finally willing to look at her, his lips parted slightly in a line.

The shrill siren rang through the 35th floor, swallowing her answer like a hurricane.

The siren sounded suddenly, and Lin Jiqiao jumped back suddenly, flipping the chair and herself.

Xu Anyi didn't want to let her go just like that, and asked amidst the roaring siren: "What?"

Obviously you decided to marry me yourself, why did you leave?

Lin Jiqiao struggled to get up, and limped to turn off the alarm.

On the table, the phone was still vibrating.

"You answer the phone first." Lin Jiqiao leaned on the armrest of the sofa, rubbed his elbows and knees that hurt from the fall, "I'll check the surveillance."

Xu Anyi grabbed the phone and followed her while answering it.

"Chen Xi."

Her tone was not kind, and the other side was even worse, "If you don't answer the phone, I'll smash your door!"

The four windows on the monitor showed Chen Xi's murderous aura in all directions.

Not to mention Lin Jiqiao, Xu Anyi was also stunned.She glanced at the notification bar. In the past half an hour, Chen Xi sent her more than ten messages.

She was not in the mood to check the details, and said, "Wait for me in the elevator hall."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Anyi calmed down from the sudden anger.

Lin Jiqiao's face was pale, his forehead was dripping with sweat, his lips were bloodless, and the back of his right hand, which was holding the mouse tightly, was also protruding with blue veins.

"I'm sorry, maybe something really happened. Otherwise, Chen Xi wouldn't..." Xu Anyi raised his hand, thought about it and put it down again, "You are here, I'll go out and see the situation."

Lin Jiqiao snorted, but shuddered when she just stepped out of the bedroom, followed her a few steps, stepped on Xu Anyi's shadow to the back of the door, and looked out through the crack of the door.

Chen Xi was also woken up in his sleep, his eyes were bloodshot and had bags under his eyes, when he saw Xu Anyi, he got straight to the point--

"Shen Hongxuan committed suicide."
