Deer in the forest

"Jun Huai, come and help!" Lu Qingchen was wearing a yellow cartoon-patterned apron, and was struggling to move towards the table with a box of red wine in his arms.

Shen Junhuai walked over in two steps, took the red wine from his arms, and frowned: "What are you doing with so much wine? I've been hiding this for many years, it's very expensive!"

Lu Qingchen rolled his eyes, raised his chin and pointed at the two people who were teasing cats and dogs in the distance: "They finally reconciled, why don't you drink two more bottles to celebrate!"

"Just the two of them?" Shen Junhuai snorted, "I don't do any work, I only know how to eat, but also order my family treasure, and drink my expensive wine. Don't you think that the cost we pay is not comparable to the income? ?"

"Yes!" Lu Qingchen tilted his head and blinked, "But Ah Ming said two days ago that he wanted to invest a sum of money in Liu Guang!"

"Can't I vote for you?"

"Oh, but all your money is with me!"

Shen Junhuai shut his mouth.

Lu Qingchen pinched the corners of his tightly pursed lips, and laughed: "Wouldn't it be better for us to keep our own money and make a fortune with other people's money?"

Li Jibai sneezed, Lin Shen hurried to touch his forehead and touch his hand.

"What's the matter? Did you catch a cold? The temperature has dropped in the past two days, and you wear so little, I'll go to the car and get you a coat." Lin Shen dropped the fat cat in his hand and was about to stand up.

Li Jibai pulled him and motioned him to sit down, "I'm fine, don't go."

As Christmas approaches, Li Jibai comes to pick Lin Shen back.The temperature difference between the capital and country M is huge. Recently, Li Jibai has been compressing his rest time in order to spare two more days. Lin Shen is afraid that his resistance will decline, so he is unavoidably worried.

"Maybe someone plotted against me." Li Jibai curled his lips, "Look at the two of them whispering there, they must be speaking ill of me."

As soon as he came, Shen Junhuai proposed to have a small gathering at home.Lu Qingchen recently raised a fat cat, and Lin Shen liked it very much. The two of them rushed over excitedly and devoted themselves to the cat.

"Oh, I have to help, I just lick the cat." Lin Shen saw the busy Lu Qingchen from the corner of his eyes, blamed himself, got up and walked to the dining table on the corridor.

Li Jibai also wobbled over to help.

The Eldest Young Master didn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers, and he was spoiled by Lin Shen all these years. He stood at the dining table and studied for a long time, and found the easiest job to do.

sober up.

The meaty rib-eye steak has been fried, and the burnt and tangy blueberry pie has also been baked. Everyone sat down one after another, ready to eat.

Lu Qingchen brought up the sober wine, and poured it for Shen Junhuai and Li Jibai in turn.

When he arrived at Lin Shen, he withdrew his wine glass and tried to refuse: "I'll stop drinking, I have to drive later."

"Have a drink, and I'll ask the driver to take you back later. If you can't leave, then stay!" Lu Qingchen persuaded with a smile, "Celebrate our hard-won beautiful life, and celebrate you and Baibai starting over."

"Farewell, goodbye, I'll just drink sparkling water." Lin Shen also smiled, went to pull Lu Qingchen, and teased with his friends as usual, "Please forgive me, I really can't drink."

In the past, Lin Shen said so, and Lu Qingchen didn't mind it, but today he was so happy, happy that Lin Shen finally had a good fruit, happy for Lin Shen's happiness, so he refused to let go, "Just one cup, you haven't had a drink yet. You have had a drink with me, just one cup, okay?"

Some emotion was suppressed for a moment, Lin Shen put his right hand on the mouth of the cup without moving, and the smile on his face remained undiminished, so everyone present didn't notice anything wrong.

Shen Junhuai, who was sitting diagonally across from Lin Shen, interrupted suddenly, "If you don't drink, you don't drink. I told the driver to get off work, and there is no one to see him off."

Then he raised his hand to take the decanter in Lu Qingchen's hand, pretending to be serious and said: "You can't drink it either."

Lu Qingchen let out a mournful cry: "Ah! You have to take care of this."

Putting the matter of drinking aside, Lin Shen let out a sigh of relief, there is no need to let others know about some things, and he has no intention of burdening those around him.Now that it's all over, let it go completely.

He turned his head to look at Li Jibai's smiling Yanyan's face, and his heart became very soft.

Li Jibai became more happy, he and Shen Junhuai almost finished off half a case of red wine, until Lu Qingchen took away the rest of the wine with a stern face, and the two of them ended the fierce battle without getting enough.

They didn't go back and stayed in the guest room on the first floor.

Lu Qingchen couldn't sleep, so he grabbed Lin Shen and went to the studio to create, leaving only two people sitting opposite each other in the kitchen drinking hangover soup.

Shen Junhuai picked a suitable time, thought for a while, and decided to remind his junior brother: "Do you remember the night when you first came to Lin Shen?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"He also went to the Liuguang staff dinner. I sent you a message at that time."

Of course Li Jibai remembered, and he could even recite the content verbatim: he didn't drink and went home soon.If you really want to save it, stop doing stupid things.

Shen Junhuai finished the last sip of soup, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and calmly threw the first bomb.

"He didn't drink, it's not that he doesn't want to drink, it's that he can't drink."

Li Jibai didn't understand the difference between the two for a moment.

"Later I observed that even if the wine glass is close to him, he will be nervous. If you happen to talk to him at this time, you will find that he is very anxious, and even answer irrelevant questions. If you can observe closely, he may also be trembling, ringing in the ears, Sweaty palms."

"Clinical psychology calls this response PTSD."

Li Jibai frowned, blood flowed to the soles of his feet, a cruel fact seemed to be breaking out.

"I made mistakes, and I don't want to see you repeat them." Shen Junhuai's voice resonated with the wound hidden deep in his body in the quiet night.Li Jibai understood.

Shen Junhuai didn't give him much time to breathe, and immediately threw the second bomb, throwing the obvious truth in front of Li Jibai:

"He said he couldn't touch alcohol since he drank the drugged wine."

"Lin Shen may be stronger than Qing Chen, but a strong person may have a weaker heart."

"He doesn't care on the surface, just to make you feel better."

"I didn't understand why you had to rely on Lin Shen, even after you sold your ancestral property." Shen Junhuai patted Li Jibai's shoulder, looked at him in despair, and added another knife: " Because you can't find anyone who loves you more than him, can you?"
